Welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters for Thursday, the 30th of January, 2025. I'm joined by Beau and Nate from MrHReviews.
Hello, how are you doing?
I'm good, how are you?
I'm very good.
Nice looking smart, actually.
It's occasionally, alright.
It's not bad.
You haven't got a tie, so it's not brilliant.
I did think you'd pick up on that.
I am.
I've seen Tiegate before.
What I love about this is people are like, wow, you've got the real zealot of a convert.
I'm like, yes I do, actually.
But we're going to be talking.
We've got some good news, actually.
We've got some good news.
Because Trump has been living up to his promises.
And I'm going to really enjoy going through it all.
Then we're going to be slaughtering some sacred cows.
So this probably gets censored in India.
Although that is just a metaphor.
We will be going after the odd Indian.
But this isn't going to be an Indian-focused thing, so don't worry.
No, actual cows are going to be harmed due to the making of this segment.
Yeah, or even alluded to, really.
And the final thing is we're going to talk about how our government is deliberately and willfully blind to our problems.
It's been done, as Keir Starmer pointed out, as on purpose.
And this is just what we have to live with.
So let's begin.
So you may realise by now that we're quite ardent Trump supporters, right?
We really like Trump.
He's doing a great job for the United States.
And if you're interested in seeing how much we love Trump, go to the website, watch our inauguration special, sign up for only £5 a month, support us, help us keep the lights on because, of course, demonetised on YouTube, blah, blah, blah.
And we are going to start looking at how Trump has not disappointed in the slightest.
In fact, Trump has massively overperformed, right?
Everyone was like, well, he was kind of wishy-washy in his first term, a bit naive, surrounded by enemies.
You know, he didn't get that much done.
There was a lot of institutional resistance.
And Trump has come in like the proverbial bull in the China shop.
Weird amount of cow references in this podcast already.
Steak on the brain.
Yeah, I did have a really well-seared, completely bland, well-cooked steak with ketchup the other day.
Just like Trump likes it.
But anyway, Trump has come in like the proverbial bull in the China shop and he's been just demolishing his enemies.
And doing absolutely everything he said he was going to do.
And more to the very limits of his ability.
One reference I thought of was when Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940. I mentioned this the other day.
When he came in in 1940, he already knew how government and how Whitehall worked.
He'd been in and around the game for half a lifetime already.
And all historians sort of agree that he grasped Whitehall by the scruff of the collar.
And he forced it to do his will.
He wouldn't take any crap from the establishment whatsoever.
It was his policy.
Leadership came from number 10 only.
That's not how Trump was able to do it.
It's not really too much of criticism because he'd never been in government before in 2016. But this time around, Trump 2.0, he knows the deal.
He knows how the game works much, much more intimately.
He's not holding back.
He's showing real leadership.
He's actually showing real leadership.
These are our policies and it's going to happen.
It's very clearly coming from the top as well.
It's him who's just imposing his will.
I mean, one of the first things he did was put his Churchill bust back in the White House that Joe Biden removed because Joe Biden hates Britain.
But anyway, so let's begin with deportations.
Trump is not taking anyone's any resistance on deportations.
I appreciate that they took back that tough talk.
But, you know, we may have tough talk from others, but it's not going to mean anything.
They're going to all take them back, and they're going to like it too.
They're going to like it.
They're going to take it back, and they're going to like it.
It's like a fantasy come true, isn't it?
I want Trump to literally say, you're going to take it, you're going to like it, and that's it.
And he's actually doing it.
It's a classic bully Big Brother thing, isn't it?
Yeah, it is, yeah.
Like, you're hitting yourself in your face with your own hands.
How do you like it?
How does it feel?
No, you're going to sit there and eat your broccoli and like it, you know?
It's breaking the global status quo, finally.
Well, the Western global status quo, finally.
Finally, finally, finally.
Just totally bullheaded about it.
Just not taking any nonsense.
So this clip went viral recently.
I've not seen this one.
Well, it's actually from an Al Jazeera show.
I'll play it.
Mexico cannot cope.
Not sure any country can, but Mexico can't cope with, like, a sudden influx of millions of people.
I mean, as much as she wants to embrace them, to use her word, when they come back and make them feel welcome, it all sounds very nice when you're listening to it, but the reality of that is it's just completely unsustainable.
Is it?
Yeah.
I don't know if any country can.
It's like, oh, well, America is taking millions of illegals across the Mexican border every year because of Joe Biden.
So you've just validated everything about Donald Trump's deportation policy.
They're Mexicans.
They can go home.
Mexico can't cope with Mexicans.
Millions of Mexicans.
I mean, they literally...
Failed state then, isn't it?
Exactly.
No, no, it really is.
And in many ways, you can actually argue that, because Mexico's clearly lost control of vast swathes of its own territory to the cartels, which Trump is probably going to declare war on in the next day or two, and actually lead a military invasion to smash them, which Mexico couldn't do.
Again, would be a brilliant thing.
I'm sure we'll cover it when he does it.
And again, I say like, in the next day, I mean, I'm genuinely being serious.
It could literally be tomorrow where he like, right, the thing's going and everyone's like, what really?
It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm surprised it's not happened yet because there was reports that the cartels open fired on.
Well, it's only been like eight days or something.
As a result of it.
So I am surprised that he actually hasn't done that yet.
He's done a lot of things.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure he'll get to it.
I'm actually not a hawkish person in general.
I'm not a pacifist.
I'm not a pro-war neocon type hawk person, generally speaking.
But I would love to see the US military deployed on some sort of large scale against those cartels.
Oh, they deserve it.
I would love it.
Yeah.
The things that they do.
Some of the most evil people in the world.
Utterly horrific.
The drug trafficking.
And also that argument she's making, Mexico can't deal with this influx of hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
That's the exact same argument that patriots in Germany and France and Britain have been making.
Don't give us 700,000 new people every year, year on year.
We can't take it.
Not being racist, not being bigoted, the actual infrastructure, the logistics of this thing don't add up.
Oh, now it's Mexico.
Now that argument is a real argument, is it?
It's hard to believe that Mexico's Mexicans can't just come home and go back to their families.
Yeah.
They already have people they know and related to live...
They can go back.
They'll be fine.
Mexico can't cope.
Looks like they're coping pretty hard.
Just like Haiti, though, to be honest.
Apparently, Trump's decision to send back the Haitians is going to be quote-unquote ruinous, which implies that Haiti has something to lose.
This also implies Haiti has a leader.
It does, yeah.
I didn't know Haiti had a leader.
Yeah.
Maybe this is that famous general barbecue that I've heard so much about.
But again, Haitian leader, he's not president.
He is a leader in Haiti.
So, anyway.
The point being, well, if having Haitians in your country is ruinous for Haiti, it can't be great for everywhere else, right?
But don't worry, because what they're thinking is, hang on a second, we exported the worst people in our society to the United States, right?
We did it without having to pay for it, and we've not had to worry about tens of thousands of convicted criminals.
For years.
This has been great for us.
And what have you done with it, Haiti?
Nothing.
What have you done with it, Mexico?
Nothing.
So Trump, again, as the generous god emperor that he is, he's not just going to saddle you with all of the worst criminals.
They're going to Gitmo.
And that is based.
That's brilliant.
Even until I saw this, it hadn't even crossed my mind that that was something that could be done.
That's how based it is.
It hadn't even occurred to me.
I couldn't even remember this place.
He's going to Bekele, the worst of them.
They're going to jail forever in a foreign island in just a tiny little prison.
Don't care.
They're gone.
We're sick of them.
So it's not even going to be Haiti's problem.
How generous the god-emperor is.
Can I just say for some people, because I know we've got a fair few Zoomers in our audience, or perhaps...
You don't know what it might be.
Yeah, there's been a camp there, or a military base there, for a long, long, long, long, long time, decades and decades.
But after 9-11, when they had a bunch of...
Sort of actual battlefield detainees and a bunch of al-Qaeda jihadis.
They didn't know what to do with them.
It was going to be very difficult in all sorts of legal reasons to prosecute them in Manhattan or whatever.
So they just kept them in Guantanamo Bay.
Just held them there for years and years.
So anyway, it's sort of a badass giant holding pen.
Worst of the worst.
Yeah.
And there was always a sort of moral...
Conundrum with that, right?
Because the United States goes to these countries, has now used extraordinary rendition to kidnap them and hold them without charge or without rights, without any issues in Guantanamo Bay.
And it's like, yeah, okay, that's bad.
They probably shouldn't have done that.
Probably shouldn't have been in Iraq in the first place, but I guess we'll talk about that another time.
But this is different because the United States didn't come to these people.
The 10,000 criminals, convicted murderers who have been caught and released by US border forces, well, they can go to Gitmo, actually, because that's a different thing, isn't it?
It's like, no, we didn't come to your country and kidnap you and put you in a cell.
You broke into our country, and now you're being punished for it.
So there's a different moral dimension to this.
And we're not even, we, the Trump administration, and we're not even happy with sending you back to your country because you may well just come straight back again.
Well, that's precisely what they're doing.
These are the worst people and they're not going to stay in their own countries.
We're going to put you in some sort of legal limbo, physical and legal limbo, indefinitely.
Morally, it's just.
Because they've inserted themselves into the United States.
They are now the United States problem.
Yes.
So no one can bitch and moan about that.
No one can complain.
You shouldn't have been there to begin with.
Especially as their own governments don't want them back anyway.
Yeah, precisely.
So it's just like, okay, well, we've got to do something with these criminals.
That is morally the just thing to do for the American people.
And that's everything that Trump has been doing.
It's for American.
For the American people.
That's all it's about.
It's so good.
It's so good to see.
Completely correct, which is why he has signed in his first act of legislation, which is the Laken Riley Act, named after, of course, the young lady who was murdered by an illegal immigrant.
Again, the Gitmo thing is exactly the right thing to do with the most dangerous among them, and the rest can just go home.
The Lakin-Reilly Act mandates the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes and allows state attorney generals to sue the federal government if they believe the states have been harmed by its failure to enforce immigration laws.
Wow.
Ha ha ha ha.
That is very nice.
So that means that basically future Democrat regimes...
Can always be gone after by Florida or Texas or any other of the border states.
They're like, hang on a second.
You can't just Joe Biden allow the border to be wide open.
We now have a legal ground to come after you.
Bam.
Superb.
Trump planning for the future.
This is just, again, above and beyond.
He's genuinely going above and beyond with all this.
So let's move on, because Trump has just kept...
There's just a cavalcade of brilliant stuff that's just happening in America at the moment.
The next one is, of course, Trump's foreign aid funding freeze, where he's just like, yeah, no.
No.
Sick of it.
And you can see the international aid groups, as in the sort of international quangocracy, that is funded by this kind of international aid.
They're like, well, hang on a second.
Does that mean we're out of jobs?
Yes.
That's exactly what that means.
You're out of bloody jobs.
And so you had, like, woke prats on Twitter complain about it.
Wait a minute.
The Doze bros are bragging today they've got DI scholarships for Burma cancelled.
Yeah, so apparently the United States is spending $45 million a year.
Doing the Lincoln Scholarship in Burma to help young people struggling for freedom in Burma's dictatorship.
Not my problem.
How in any way does that benefit the American people?
It doesn't.
But it is $45 million down the tube and God knows how much of that actually arrives where it's supposed to be anyway, right?
This is one of the things about all of these things.
The quangocracy is just like a sieve that you're trying to flow water across and so much of this money is just falling for it.
Another example I mentioned the other day was I saw one on Twitter yesterday.
They were about to send $50 million to Gaza for the promotion of condoms.
Can I fact check you on that please?
Sure, please do.
I retweeted this earlier because there was someone who runs one of these International migrant aid organisations are like, it's not $50 million, it's only $7 million.
They're still for the same thing?
Yeah, they're still providing $7 million of taxpayer money every year to provide condoms for people in Gaza.
Do they not realise that's directly against Gaza's religion?
I don't think they care.
But the point is, it's only $7 million.
Only?
Only $7 million.
What a trifling amount of money to just piss down the drain.
What you would just make is that I feel like it's not about DEI or about condoms.
It's something else is going on.
That money ends up in someone else's pocket somewhere.
It's power and influence for the liberal international order.
That's what it is.
Because all of the people who run these, you know, quangos, these international aid organisations, they're all cut from the same stripe.
They're all the same kind of, you know, Like, bureaucratic, administrative.
They're the sort of people who watched World War Z and were like, God, yeah.
I'm rooting for the international scientific consensus.
It's like, shut up, you absolute liberal globalist traitors.
Sick of it, you're not getting funded.
Deal with it.
These charities where their senior managers make hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.
Yeah.
Aren't you supposed to...
How does that make any sense?
Well, they've got to siphon off that money somehow, haven't they?
Not non-for-profit, so money's got to be accounted for somewhere along the line.
That's the point.
And the whole thing is to create this kind of, you know, WEF-style liberal international order that Trump is just basically defunding.
So no, all of this is going away.
And of course, as you pointed out, Beau, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Which I love.
I love to see it.
That means they're doing something right.
Yeah, exactly, right?
If your enemies are not wailing and gnashing their teeth, Mr. Farage, then you're not winning, actually.
You're not winning if you can go on Good Morning Britain and they'll up pally with you.
That's not winning.
It's winning when the former president of Kenya has to stand up and go, listen, why are you crying?
It is not your government.
He has no reason to give you anything.
You do not pay taxes in America.
That's when you're winning, right?
When former foreign...
World leaders are like, well, you weren't entitled to that money, so stop whinging.
What a legend!
I know!
Don't pay taxes in America?
Yeah, absolutely.
All these things.
But all these things, unequivocally, you know, like, US taxpayers have been funding nonsense all around the world.
It's so good to see someone come in that goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a second.
Why are my people's money being spaffed up the wall in no man's land?
Condoms for Gaza, bro.
It's nonsense.
It's so good.
Not to relate it too close to the UK or anything, but it's so good to see someone that just comes in and goes, no, pause.
Pause on all of this and let's check and see how this benefits us.
Don't just run with the status quo like every other bloody leader does and politician, the UK specifically.
These people come in and they just go, oh, we've...
We've committed to that, have we?
All right, then.
What?
Or make it worse, like the Conservatives did.
The Rory Stewart argument when someone says, why are we sending millions and millions of pounds to India that have got a space programme?
Why are we doing that?
And someone like him, anyway, I've actually seen him make the argument.
Well, we committed to it.
Uncommit, then.
Yeah, right, exactly.
Well, we can uncommit to it, then.
The worst one is also, well, it's soft power.
It's like, well, we could use that money for hard power, actually.
And maybe we should, instead of, you know, trying to bribe people.
But anyway, we've still got more to go through.
Let's carry on.
So Trump has been clearing out the federal bureaucracy, right?
He's been firing people.
He's like, no, you're fired.
And it's so great.
For example, if you were the lawyers who engaged in the...
A fraudulent investigation from Jack Smith's team which investigated his mishandling of classified documents.
Remember the big scandal?
Did you think you were just going to carry on?
Did you?
Well, he's not going to fire us, is he?
No, that's exactly what he did.
He's fired a bunch of lawyers who investigated these criminal cases against him because you deserve it because you're Democrats.
Even though you will try and pretend you're Democrats, get out.
Out!
Revenge is a dish best served piping hot immediately.
Scalding!
I remember seeing the footage of...
It was like a full FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
There's dozens of them in body armour and guns and the whole nine yards.
Didn't raid Joe Biden for exactly the same reasons.
Exactly the same thing.
Clinton had the same thing as well.
All presidents are allowed certain amounts of this stuff.
Trump had done nothing wrong.
Yeah, exactly.
It's totally fraudulent.
It was totally political.
You deserve to get fired.
You had this coming.
Don't know why you thought it wasn't coming, right?
That's the thing.
Don't know why you thought you weren't getting this treatment.
Anyway, so he carried on.
I mean, there's just loads.
Like, for example, there's union oversight committees and administrations where Trump's just like, nah, these are all Democrats.
Out.
Just out.
Three, like, three leaders and various, like, Right.
So Trump's just neutralizing all of these Democrat-run institutions.
And all three who have been fired have been like, well, we're exploring our legal options against the administration.
If Trump...
I'm going to make it legal, mate.
I'm going to literally reveal the law that you would use to challenge me, okay?
Like, you are just done.
And legal scholars say, well, it could reach as far as the Supreme Court.
What?
Trump's Supreme Court?
Yeah.
What is Clarence Thomas going to say to that?
Is it six or even seven of them are Conservative?
Yeah, it's the majority.
It should be a slam dunk every single time without fail, more or less.
It's great to see, though, how savvy he is now.
Yeah.
That he actually knows how, or at least has got people around him that say, if you do exactly this, this and this in that order, then we win.
Yes, yeah.
And all you've got to do is pull the trigger, just green light it for us, Mr. Trump, Mr. President.
He's like, done, do it, go.
Make it so.
Anyway, it just keeps getting better because what this is, right, and there's a general tone to the Democrat administration, which is the sort of nagging, older, harpy woman.
Yeah, yeah.
And this has been something that's been persistent throughout.
You've seen the confirmation hearings, which we're not going to cover today because it's just too much, where it's shrieking women at the implacable face of some sort of middle-aged man who's just, you know, now I've had enough of it.
She's had enough of it.
Well, sometimes they're just like, no, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving.
And Trump is physically removing them.
This is Phyllis Fong.
She was the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Democrat.
You'll be surprised to hear.
And Trump's just like, no, you're fired.
And she refused to comply, so she was frog-marched out by force.
What's she going to do?
Handcuff herself to the radiator?
What did she think was going to happen?
Superglue her hands to the desk.
I'm not going.
Yes, you are.
Yes, you are.
It's not a debate.
It's not a conversation.
You've been dictated to.
Trump has fired 17 inspector generals at various government agencies.
Wow.
Good.
Again, it's been like nine days, something like that, ten days.
And, yeah, so people were complaining, well, how could you physically remove this woman?
And they just said...
You say without harm.
It's all right.
Yeah, exactly.
Nothing was broken, you know.
But the White House just said, well, these are rogue partisan bureaucrats and they've been relieved of their duties.
Based.
Not taking it.
Not explaining.
Not justifying.
At a certain point, she's just trespassing anyway.
Yeah, exactly.
How dare you remove her?
What do you mean?
What?
She's in legal immigrant.
She's getting deported.
From her place of work.
I wouldn't care if it took, like, four big burly male nurses to strap her to a gurney and get her out of the building.
I don't care.
I love the sort of, like, defiant look in the picture.
Oh, I'm...
No, you're...
Not justified in any way, shape, or form, and you're being physically removed.
Excellent.
It's a hard case.
Exactly.
Moving on.
So, apparently, Trump is just clearing up everything leftist in the federal bureaucracy.
So, here is a memo from the Defense Intelligence Agency that is just like, no, we're not having any of this nonsense, right?
The DIA will pause all activities and events related to agency special emphasis programs effective immediately until further notice.
Special observances hosted throughout the year by the command element, directorates, and special offices are also paused.
These include observances related to the following.
In January, Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
In February, Black History Month.
In March, Women's History Month.
In May, Holocaust Days of Remembrance.
In May again, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
In June, Pride.
In June, Juneteenth.
In August, Women's Equality Day.
In September and October, National Hispanic Heritage Month.
In October, National Disability.
Just all of it.
It's all gone.
We're not doing any of this gay leftist nonsense anymore.
It's gone.
Not having it.
And it goes further.
Trump has signed, again, everything.
It's just...
Brilliant.
Every day.
It's just...
I wake up and my Twitter timeline is all my mutuals going, yeah!
And I'm like, oh, what's he done now?
And it's just something superb, right?
Slabs of red meat for the base.
It's so good.
It's feeding the base.
So in this, Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at restricting gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19. Good.
Good.
Good.
What's the argument in favour?
In the order, Trump is...
All he can do...
Well, executively, is of course make sure that federal funding is not put towards any groups and institutions that do this.
But of course this is what he has done.
So federal support for such care would end.
He called on the Health and Human Services Secretary to take all appropriate actions to end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
And of course the Democrats were like, no, that's how we recruit.
The Order directs federally-run institutions' insurance programs to exclude coverage for treatments for gender transition for minors, and also aims to stop medical institutions from receiving grants, federal grants, for providing such treatments.
More than 26 states have already implemented the restrictions on gender care for children and young people, so the Republican states were like, yes sir.
Absolutely done, sir.
And the BBC did have to include, well, there's a reason for this.
Last year, a review of gender identity services for under-18s in England and Wales said that children have been let down by a lack of research and remarkably weak evidence on medical interventions in gender care.
Ah, yes.
Castrating children for ideological reasons has letting them down.
Lack of research on that.
Yeah.
Quite clear experiment that should go down as a crime against humanity.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, it's going to be remembered like lobotomising was remembered.
I think there's one thing, just to quickly say, that sticking it to the lefties institutionally, all well and good, just a partisan thing, but this is truly God's work.
This is doing away with something that's evil.
You should say an experiment, like an evil experiment, and he's swept it away with the stroke of a pen.
Brilliant.
You've got to love it.
This is not just pro-Trump partisanship for the sake of it, just to gloat and dunk on the lefties.
This is truly good.
No, there's the deportations.
Righteousness.
It's the same with the deportations, though, with the Lake and Riling Act.
The reason that's named is because the legals are running around killing people in America.
It's not just partisan fun in the federal bureaucracy and stuff like this, as you say.
There are people whose lives are being ruined.
It's the morally and ethically correct thing to have done.
And the fact that this has been allowed to carry on for so long is going to be a black stain on our moral history.
A few decades, a few decades.
People will look back on this and just go, what?
Madness was that.
It'll be like thalidomide or lobotomies or any nonsense they did in the 19th century where you're just like, what are you doing?
It'll be remembered like that.
Child labouring factories where they die of accidents all the time.
We let that happen, did we?
And we'd be like, well, yeah, but Posey Parker was removed from every platform for thinking this shouldn't happen.
That was the moral hysteria from the left and the amount of control.
Anyway, so the final thing has been the confirmation hearings, which have been going great, by the way.
I don't have time to cover them here, but again...
You can see the era of the hectoring middle-aged woman is kind of coming to an end.
And actually, just saying no to them is really all you have to do to win in this particular case when you have executive power.
So you can just ignore these people and everything will go fine.
So anyway, looking forward to what Trump does tomorrow, frankly.
The way to defeat Elizabeth Warren is simply to be like, you just pipe down, love.
Shut up.
Well, that only works if you have the executive majority.
Yeah, of course.
But when you do, you don't have to listen to them, and they are getting very angry because, again, they wouldn't be acting like this if Trump didn't represent an existential threat to the moral order of the world that they were promoting.
Yeah.
They wouldn't act like this.
They are acting like this because they know they're losing.
Neo Emerilis says, Guantanamo Bay has been used to house illegal aliens since 1991. 32,000 Haitians held, 50,000 Cubans held, only in 2001 did it become a terrorist prison.
So Trump is just returning to tradition.
I think it's the Marine Corps have got a base on that.
I mean, it's on Cuba, isn't it?
There's a Marine Corps base there, and that was one of the things that Tulsi Gabbard and Tom Holman said in a press thing yesterday.
They said, it's already a migration thing.
We're just expanding it.
We're just going to make it a lot bigger.
Obama did it.
Biden did it.
You didn't complain at all.
We're not creating this out of thin air.
We're not even countenancing your complaints now.
I don't care.
Cry harder.
A nearer list again says, Trump's cancelling of the illegal alien smuggling NCOs, like Catholic charities, is the biggest blow to mass migration in the Western Hemisphere.
This was the industrial mechanization of it.
Yeah, Alex, he's been doing so much.
This is not, unfortunately, a comprehensive look at what Trump has done, because he has just been going for it.
And Glees says, seeing as the American legal system is based largely on English common law, are we in Britain capable of creating something similar to the Lake and Riley Act?
Of course we are.
I mean, the Parliament...
The interesting thing about Parliament is it is what is sovereign in the country and there is literally no limit to its power because we don't have a hard-written constitution like the United States.
It is a legislative and constitutive body, so it decides what the constitution is as it legislates.
So it could literally do anything and we do nothing instead.
All you need is a government with a half-decent majority to get through what they want to get through and the political will to do it.
That's all it requires.
That's why people hate the Conservatives.
They hate Boris.
Yeah.
Squandered.
People absolutely squandered.
The average person doesn't hate Boris, which is annoying.
All of the activists, Conservative activists hate Boris.
I noticed when I was in Reform, there were quite a few Reformers, the type that like Trigonometry or that sort of type.
Lots of them still love Boris.
I wouldn't hear a word against Boris.
Yeah, that reaction is like...
Why though?
I roll.
Don't you remember what just happened to us?
There you go.
Moving on.
Alright, can you scroll down on my thing for me?
So, okay.
I thought today might be a good day to slay some sacred cows.
To talk about some of the quote-unquote heroes that the boomer truth regime have told you are great men.
Oh, really?
Some of them aren't.
Oh.
Who could have imagined?
For example, Martin Luther King Jr. Not necessarily the paragon of virtue.
Or today is the anniversary of the great Mahatma, Mahatma Gandhi's assassination.
On this day in 1948, he was murdered.
Right, well, before we go on then, you mentioned Mr. Luther King.
What possible objection could you have to his personal conduct?
Oh, well...
If we're going to judge people by the content of their character.
Let's talk about his character very briefly.
Well, you know.
Let's start with MLK then, because one of the things that Trump did in his executive order, I think on the first afternoon, was sign a thing to release files about the JFK, the RFK and MLK files.
In the MLK one, if we talk about MLK, it was less that I think there's revelations about the details of his assassination, but rather just all sorts of details from the FBI largely about...
His life and what was going on.
Now, one thing I would say here to start off with is that it's embarrassing both for the memory of Martin Luther King and his estate, his surviving family, but also for the FBI. I can see why the FBI wouldn't want it to come out because both parties look bad.
Because the FBI were doing bad things, really.
But Martin Luther King wasn't great.
Do you know where that is?
Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey.
Actually real?
Yeah.
That's disgusting.
Here he is deified by our bloody country.
Saint MLK. Amazing.
If you go to the next picture, it will show a bit of a wider shot.
Yeah, that's the front door, effectively.
When we win, that's being taken down.
Yeah.
Literally front and centre as well.
Yeah.
Westminster Abbey.
Sanity.
I've said before, one of the most incredible...
A genuine gothic abbey, one of the most precious architectural jewels that Britain has got.
It's far more important than St Paul's Cathedral, far more important than the Palace of Westminster or Buckingham Palace or anything like that.
Westminster Abbey is truly a wonder.
And they put Martin Luther King up there on that.
So, why is he so bad?
Didn't he say...
Because that speech, most people would know his speech.
I have a dream speech.
I'm completely in agreement with the moral principle he lays out.
We should indeed judge people by the content of their character.
And so if someone was like, you know...
Watching a girl getting raped and laughing about it, I might be like, hmm, I have questions about the content of the character.
That didn't happen, did it?
Yeah.
Oh, right, exactly that thing.
What a weird coincidence.
That was the first thing that sprung to my mind as a man of bad character.
One thing just before we get on to it, there's a link there about a bit of Lotus Eaters content that Harry and Connor did quite a while ago.
It was in the old studio there, so check that out.
Harry's been blowing the whistle on this for a while now, so yeah, go and sign up, £5 above.
And this is two hours long.
Harry's done a really in-depth thing.
We're just skimming the surface.
And Conor made a good point on there, which I completely agree with.
He says, look, the I Have a Dream speech is good.
It's almost flawless.
You can't really disagree with it.
I do agree with it.
Yes, I do.
And it's actually inspiring.
If you go and listen to the Unabridged thing, it is actually quite inspiring.
So that's sort of the peak, the pinnacle of...
People's knowledge of MLK. Once you dig below that, it starts getting murky very quickly.
So, for the first thing to say, he was a hypocrite, because he was supposed to be this conservative Christian, as I say, a paragon of virtue and stuff.
No, no, he cheated on his wife massively.
Now, it's been known for decades, ever since the time, really, that he slept around, that he was a philander, he was a cheater and adulterer.
He had children out of wedlock.
Yeah, he had one woman that he had a baby with, almost certainly.
And whenever he travelled around the country, he'd see her all the time.
And even the official biographers, the official biographers of Martin Luther King said that in the few years before he was killed, he had probably somewhere in the region of 10 to 12 mistresses or girlfriends.
We now know it's more in the region of 40 to 45. So in other words, couldn't stop himself.
How many mistresses and bastard children do you have, Nate?
Like substantially more than zero.
But that's an interesting point.
But juggling dozens and dozens of them, that's pathological.
It doesn't even have a phone to do it on either.
Sounds like a lot of work.
It's like one in every city.
A woman in every town or city.
Difficult to manage, really.
So on that content of character, Nate 1, Martin Luther King 0. How he wasn't riddled with venereal disease either.
Maybe he was, I don't know.
Anyway.
You'd forget.
How would you keep track?
What did I say to this person?
What did I say to that person?
What's that kid's name?
What's that kid's name?
I need the message history on Facebook.
What did I say to you last week?
Right, okay, that's where we were.
I saw a story once, just a side note, of some adultery who had many different families.
And he called all the kids the same name in the different families.
That is smart.
I can't remember.
I'm making this up, but he called all his daughters Louise or something.
So he would always...
That's forward thinking.
Whatever.
One of the worst things, because...
So here's where there's a bit of a stain on the FBI. Like, your private life should be your private life.
If you're doing nothing illegal, why would the police or the intelligence services...
They shouldn't have...
Yeah, I agree with that.
I mean, it's horrible to be an adulterer and a cheater, but it's not actually illegal.
That's on your...
So why are the FBI watching him and keeping tabs and counting all his mysteries and stuff?
Yeah.
But what if it does become illegal?
Well, he was involved in, certainly, orgies.
Again, not necessarily illegal, especially if the women are prostitutes and they've been paid for and they're consented, whatever.
It's disgusting, but...
Right.
But, no, there is a criminal bit to it.
Because...
How many orgies got under your belt?
Zero?
Really?
Yeah.
I've lived a very vanilla life.
Yeah, same.
I've never been to an orgy.
Enough.
Enough.
So there's a clue.
I'm just married with kids, mate.
I don't know.
So yeah.
Do an eyes wide shut billionaire party count as an orgy?
I haven't been to any of those either.
Yeah.
Anyway, there's a quote here that...
King looked on and laughed as the pastor of Baltimore's Cornerstone Baptist Church allegedly raped a woman in the Willard Hotel.
I believe the Willard Hotel was in Washington, D.C. Two very Christian people and a pastor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can see why we've got a statue of him at Westminster.
So that's criminal and obviously degenerate and disgusting and wrong.
But also, at the same time, you've got to say, how did the FBI know that?
They were bugging his hotel rooms and stuff?
Yeah, he was a communist revolutionary, basically.
So let's move on.
Let's move on from the actual sort of private life stuff.
Also, he was, and this has been covered by all sorts of people over the years, just...
So he was, of course, a Christian.
So on some level, he's not just a hard...
So on some level, he can't be a full-blown Marxist, a full-blown sort of Maoist, Stalinist type communist.
However, he hung around with communists.
He was funded by them.
Lots of his political theory is just communist.
What's interesting is that the critical race theorists have been trying to square that circle with King.
Basically, they view him as having a kind of Christian communism.
There's a synthesis between Marxist dialectics and Christian faith.
And so they definitely claim him as one of their own.
And he certainly was explicitly anti-white.
Yeah.
Saying, you know, things like the structural racism of whiteness.
And all the things you hear now, actually.
He wasn't a liberal.
No.
He was a communist.
So people only think of the I have a dream speech.
Everyone should be...
All black people should be free and treated equally.
That's all well and good.
But actually, despised white culture and civilisation and wanted to see it ripped down and destroyed and stuff.
Sure, but the left would say, well, we agree with that, so we're not going to...
It's about Martin Luther King.
But as Saul Onitski pointed out, you've got to make them live up to their own...
Rulebook, right?
Make them live to their own standards.
So what I think that what we should do is propose that anyone who has not laughed at a woman being raped is eligible to have a statue on Westminster, right?
Anyone who has can't have a statue on Westminster.
Anyone on the left disagree with that?
Just out of interest?
You know, write letters on a postcard.
You know, if you're like, no, I'm a communist and I think that they should.
So that'll be the standard going forward.
We can just remove any statues of people who have laughed at women being raped, right?
Not just in the abstract, but in the room while it was happening, laughing at it in real time.
Yeah, not even in the abstract, like directly at that.
I think that's a totally fair standard and one that the left can't disagree with.
Yeah, not just in Westminster, but literally above the portal of Westminster Abbey, revolting stuff.
So, okay, there's various revelations about Martin Luther King.
Most of the stuff we already knew.
It's just a bit deeper and worse than we thought, and the FBI have come out with a bit more stained.
We already knew, really, that they were going above and beyond their remit.
But we now know for sure.
I haven't got any love for the FBI either, so I don't care if they look bad as well.
Scatter them to the winds.
The FBI are responsible for more human misery than Dr. King ever was, in my opinion.
Yeah, of course.
But also, as I said...
It is something we have to actually calculate, right?
What do you mean?
The amount of human misery King caused is not nothing.
No.
Sure, sure.
So also, on this day in 1948, I thought, why are we sort of taking a pop at some of the Luma Truth regime's lefty heroes?
Yeah.
On this day in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
We're told that he is some sort of paragon of virtue.
He is.
There's a statue that is in Parliament Square.
That is directly in front of...
There's Teflon Dave, David Cameron on the second from left there.
Installing the statue.
Goddammit, conservatives.
Yeah.
Look, we're not racist.
We have a statue of an Indian man who did nothing wrong ever.
Look at him.
I mean, how could he do something wrong, Bo?
Look at that wizened, kindly face and his little stick-thin legs.
He's wearing a big shawl.
Come on, he's obviously not dangerous.
He can't hurt anyone.
He's definitely not a meddling, backward moron.
He's definitely not someone who interfered with any children, is he?
Well...
Go on.
Well, he used to sleep in the same bed with his niece, who was a small child at the time.
But not to...
The angle was that he's demonstrating how great his self-control is by sleeping with her and not doing anything to her.
Sorry.
Sorry.
He's sleeping in the same bed as a child, his family, his niece, as a demonstration that he has self-control.
Do we think that he demonstrated that every single night?
Probably not, but I can't get over the fact that...
How's that an example of self-control?
That entire thing is predicated on the fact that if you didn't have self-control, you would just crack on with your family, mate.
And a child.
Okay.
Good thing we've got statues of this guy.
It's a really weird argument.
There's one in Bloomsbury Square.
So there was already a big statue of Gandhi in London, but they needed another one in Parliament Square itself, of course.
So yeah, that's just weird, isn't it, with the niece thing?
It's just, I can't get over that.
Just don't do anything weird with kids.
You don't need to prove it by sleeping in the same bed.
Just simply actually don't do anything.
That's the proof, isn't it, really?
Simply that.
Are you a groomer?
No?
Excellent.
Now I'm going to bed with my niece.
What?
Of course, Gandhi...
Take his word that he's not a groomer, I guess.
Give that man a statue.
One of the headlines about Gandhi is his principle of non-aggression, non-violence.
It didn't extend to his own family because he knocked his missus about.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Of course not.
If she got out of line, a little bit of the old Sean Connery treatment.
Do as I say, not as I do.
If a man beats a woman, we should never have a statue of him.
Is that a fair standard?
By which we can tear down.
The Gandhi statues.
Because I would say that it is, right?
I would agree with that.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not like he beat her black and blue, but if she got out of hand...
He openly has said, yeah, I'll have to knock her down.
Oh.
How many times have you done that to your wife?
Weirdly, I've never done that to my wife either.
Jesus.
Really weird world we live in, isn't it?
So, again, that's just like...
That's just me around for not beating my wife.
These are the personal jibes, which are kind of a low blow, although absolutely not insignificant in my mind, if you're certainly going to put statues up to people.
But then his actual politics, I mean, his doctrine of non-aggression was, to the point in my mind, of most people's minds, unless you're a pacifist, to the point of absurdity.
So here's a famous quote.
He said, Hitler killed five million Jews.
It is the greatest crime of our time, but the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife.
So he's a Holocaust denier as well.
I wasn't denying it.
It's six million.
Oh, right.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Sorry.
He didn't have the update.
The quote is, he said five.
I know.
So that's not me.
That's Mahatma's words.
But yeah, so the thing of non-aggression is...
Ridiculous.
Yeah.
If someone's been aggressive towards you, that's fine.
Just let yourself be beaten.
Yes.
Or killed.
Well, put it in even stronger terms, because he lived, obviously, through the war years.
he wasn't assassinated in 1948 he said about Britain Britain's struggle against the Nazis during World War 2 he said I would like you to lay down your arms that you have as being useless for saving you or humanity you will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of your possessions in your beautiful island with your beautiful buildings you will give all of these but neither your souls nor your mind
if they do not give you free passage out you will allow yourself man, woman and child to be slaughtered but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them so how about no?
Actually.
Yeah, I don't really feel like...
Fantastic logic.
How about no?
I'm not taking that kind of advice from a man who sleeps with his niece.
And beats his wife.
And beats his wife.
Knocks his wife.
Weirdly, my moral standards are don't sleep with your young family members.
Don't beat your wife and defeat your enemies.
I think that's what he said to his wife.
Listen.
Yeah.
Non-aggression, right?
If someone comes to you and they beat you, you've just got to allow it.
Bosh!
Yeah.
Get down there!
Yeah, okay, I don't really want any more statues of this guy.
Jesus.
What an absolute moron.
This is moronic.
That's pure idiocy.
Why doesn't that standard apply to Hitler and bloody Mussolini, though?
He's not lecturing Hitler and Mussolini.
Look, stop fighting and offer yourselves up to the British, bro.
No, no, no, we've got to offer ourselves up to the fascists.
It's obviously because he just wants us to lose and suffer.
Yeah, of course.
Obviously.
His whole raison d'etre was anti-British and anti-colonialism.
And I don't blame him as well.
So, for example, there is one good thing I would say about Gandhi, and I would agree with, is that we shouldn't have been ruled.
Home rule in India is fine.
I don't want to be ruled by Indians in England.
The principle, I'm not like a rabid pro-colonialist.
It is right, really, that Indians should rule themselves, right?
I don't disagree with that.
But in India.
In India.
But, I mean, so, again, his politics, I've talked about this before, I've written about it before, but his politics were sort of what I would call backward, at odds with modernity itself, with progress itself.
And it's all just to screw over...
Britain and colonialism, really.
So he had this idea, the doctrine of the spinning wheel.
I mean, you've got the spinning wheel on the middle of the flag of India to this day, haven't you?
This all comes out of his sort of thinking and his doctrines, is that in order to screw over the British trade in textiles, everyone in India should just have a spinning wheel in every home or in every village, at least.
And you make your own clothes.
I wonder why they have a spinning wheel on that.
I didn't know.
It was both literally and also as a metaphor, sort of economic independence.
But also he would say things like, we don't need trains, we don't need newspapers, we don't need formal, all sorts of modern infrastructure which make a nation-state not in absolute backward abject poverty.
We don't need all of that stuff.
I don't like his wife beating and interfering with children, but I like his nationalism and being a Luddite.
A big Luddite, a big time Luddite.
I'm kind of in favour.
Now you've got an odd soft spot for Luddite-ism, which I don't share.
But nonetheless, I think he deepened India's struggle with poverty profoundly.
Yes, and their ability to use toilets.
I think his thinking and his politics and his doctrines, again, caused a large amount of human misery in India.
But yet we're told, aren't we?
That he's a hero among men.
One of the greatest men that have ever lived.
I hate to do this, but in the interest of time, I think we might have to move on to the next cow.
OK, all right.
No, certainly.
Well, I thought, why are we doing this?
Why are we slaying some cows?
Why not just mention Nelson Mandela?
And look, there's a statue of him also in Parliament Square there.
Nelson Mandela, as we all know, a great hero.
Definitely not a terrorist.
You stopped my line.
Sorry!
Didn't do nothing.
Yep.
Ever.
I mean, look at his face!
He's a little old man.
How could he have ever done anything like killing people?
Well...
I was young once.
Yeah, as a young man in the 50s and the very early 60s, he was in charge of the militant wing or the paramilitary wing of the ANC. I won't try and pronounce it.
It's often just shortened to MK. I really won't try and pronounce the actual name of it.
But he was in charge of that.
And to begin with, they were peaceful.
Complete communist, by the way.
Complete commie.
And by 1961, they decided that a purely peaceful resistance wasn't good enough.
And so went on to quite a large-scale bombing campaign.
A racially targeted and motivated bombing campaign, of course.
So he's a racist and a murderer of women and children.
Yeah.
Because they put him in Robin Island for what he was meant to be for life, and I think he served something like 27 years or something.
It wasn't for nothing.
It wasn't to be mean.
It's because he was the head of a terrorist organisation that got people killed.
But there's a statue of him.
Oh, but the statue of him.
Oh, right.
Yeah, no, Bob Geldof said he was a good dude.
Don't question that.
Well, if it's good enough for Bob Geldof.
Thatcher reminded us in the mid-80s.
Oh, actually, this dude is a terrorist.
Convicted leader of a terrorist organisation.
So, in 61, on one day in December 1961, 57 bombs went off in South Africa.
Considering a relatively small number of people were killed, but that's not really the point.
Back then, that would have been...
You know, we're saying a relatively small amount of people were killed.
Back then, that's shocking.
That would shock people to their absolute core.
Sure, now.
And it's not like his side of the equation hadn't been oppressed and the victims were fine.
I'm not saying any of that.
I'm just saying it's not really right to hold him up as this whiter-than-white, perfect...
Ethereal being.
No, no, he was involved in killings.
He just went on a racially motivated bombing campaign.
He didn't beat his wife or anything.
Or sleep with his niece.
Oh, Winnie Mandela?
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, how was she?
She was well up for her.
Well, we actually divorced her in the end because she was involved in necklacing and abduction of young people that died in her house.
We don't talk about that.
We don't talk about Winnie Mandela's crimes.
We haven't got a statue of her as well.
I don't think so.
Some boy was kidnapped and was found dead in their home.
You know necklacing?
When you get an old tyre, fill it with petrol, you put it over someone's arm like that, and so they've got a big tyre around it.
No, I didn't know you.
You've not done any necklacing?
I've not, no.
You light that on fire and watch them.
Yeah, Winnie Mandela said stuff like, we'll teach them with our necklaces.
Yeah, she was a scumbag, yeah.
Okay.
A real scumbag.
Anyway, just quickly to run through it then.
In the early 60s, they did something like 190 sabotage incidents.
Often it just gets mentioned as a sabotage.
They weren't, to be fair, I don't know why I'm being fair, but you know like a modern Islamist, they're actually going for higher, deliberately going for higher casualty events.
They weren't doing that.
They were trying to blow up things where they were...
To minimise casualties.
However, something in the order of 70-odd people died.
Most of them civilians.
Quite often it'll be a car bomb outside some sort of government building and some random passer-by who's just totally in the wrong place at the wrong time gets blown to smithereens, stuff like that.
But not always stuff like that.
There's one mall, a white mall, where women and a baby was blown to smithereens, stuff like this.
And then...
He went to prison in like 1964, but then through the mid-70s through to the late 80s, the same organisation did 1,500-odd terrorist acts.
So, okay, it's just the idea, don't buy the narrative that this is a perfect person.
And then once they did get out of prison in the 90s and became the first black president of South Africa, then him and his government, No way!
Brilliant.
And the farm, all the farm murders that go on there all the time.
Again, among the most disgusting things, like the Mexican cartels, one of the most disgusting things you can hear about.
There's definitely not a white genocide happening there.
Definitely not.
But with a statue, Tim.
In Parliament Square, of all places.
Must be a great politician.
Remember Live Aid?
I do.
I remember Western liberals being like, yeah, just think about how nice Mandela is.
And we haven't really got the time, and I won't bother, but I picked out a couple of clips where it's the classic, the way the leftoid media present it.
They'll say, there was a bombing campaign, but anyway.
Like, literally like that.
But also, Amnesty International said he's a good guy.
Or whatever.
International communist organisations?
On the Wikipedia page, it quite literally says that there's no link to the details of all the bombings.
It just mentions it.
It just mentions it.
And just moves on to the next thing.
Or in the same breath, mentions one of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Of course.
Anyway.
Bobabad says, I would like to know that MLK did not believe in the resurrection of Jesus from his own academic writing and journals and was more or less kicked out of his own church in under a year.
I didn't actually know that.
And Gandhi was also obsessed with bowel movements and used to give enemas to multiple young girls and his family on a regular basis.
What the?
Glad we got a statue.
What?
That's why we put the statue up, okay?
It was for health reasons, right?
Having statues in Britain of the anti-British decolonialist activists slash terrorists really seems like a bizarre thing and actually, you know, essentially when we win they should just be removed.
It's a pure white guilt, white man's burden thing, isn't it?
It's just our ancestors did a bad thing and now we must endlessly apologise for it and deify anyone.
Anyway, in the interest of time, let's move on.
Our government is deliberately blind to various things that go on.
They know it's happening.
They won't admit it.
Yeah, so I pontificate whilst I'm on walks and things like that.
And it just occurred to me how our government addresses pure symptomatic elements as opposed to the root cause.
I mean, there's many, many reasons why.
I'm sure it's more of a conversation than anything else.
We can sort of discuss why.
There's a whole host of examples that we've got.
I mean, you know, we had the atrocity.
I'll call it an atrocity.
I think it is.
In Southport.
And their response was...
The knife did it.
I can't get cutlery off Amazon anymore.
The knife did it.
And we all saw the coordinated headlines.
I actually couldn't...
I didn't find them for this, but the coordinated headlines.
One of them was quite literally the Amazon stabber.
You're like, sorry, what?
How's Amazon got anything to do with this?
Explain that to me.
Utter drivel.
Well, the answer is he ordered the knife off of Amazon.
Yeah, so the government's response, which we see here, direct from their website, was stricter age verification checks for all knife retailers.
And you're like, right, that's the response.
I mean, that is the response, is it?
The response is to render these people harmless instead of making them virtuous.
Millions of kitchen knives already out there anyway.
Purely symptomatic.
There's the next link there.
Amazon driver.
We talk about this.
Strict age verification.
The Amazon driver handed the knife to someone that was visibly over 25 anyway.
And even then, okay, let's assume that every sharp and bladed implement in the country is kept away from young people.
Do they not realise that you can kill someone with a blunt instrument as well?
Well, I heard from...
Cricket bats, you know, baseball bats, everything.
Why don't we just lock them all up in padded cells so they can't hurt each other?
Just...
Or if there was, like, you've got to be 18, he could have just waited a few months until he was 18. It's just complete nonsense on many, many levels, isn't it?
And if prison shivings have taught us anything, you can sharpen a bloody toothbrush.
A bit of plastic.
You can make one out of almost anything.
You can sharpen the side of a credit card.
Break a bottle.
Yeah, right.
You know, you can break a bit of glass.
You've got an unbelievably sharp cutting edge.
It's ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
You're absolutely right, but it's very, very deliberate blindness, isn't it?
It's very, very deliberate obfuscation.
It's not accidentally that they're missing the point, is it?
No, it's absolutely on purpose.
There's so many more examples of this.
So you chucked one in here, didn't you, Beau?
This next one, this Idris Elba.
If we make kitchen knives...
What was that quote?
Just scroll up a little bit.
No, sorry.
If we make kitchen knives without points, we can solve the black stabbing epidemic.
Also, Idris Elba.
It's like, yeah, this is just...
Like a cleaver.
Cleaver hasn't got a point on it.
So they're safe.
Oh, yeah.
Could never kill someone with a cleaver, bro.
Just purposely ignorant to everything.
And it extends way past just this sort of situation.
We've got now in the UK, the next link there, the fertility rate.
Fertility rate in England and Wales drops to a new low.
Absolutely awful.
That's terrible.
You would think it was concerning to people who want to pay pensions in the future.
Yeah, you'd think it would be concerning to politicians, actually, that the majority of your taxpayers, by ethnicity...
Because there is a pattern with the amount of people that pay tax in this country.
Not that we can notice that.
We're not allowed to notice that.
The government statistics definitely bear it out, though.
There's definitely not failed counties in the UK where there's a majority of certain ethnicities.
Anyway, we won't talk about that.
We're not allowed to talk about that.
So a fertility rate is obviously tanking, and it is all across the Western world.
And rather than addressing...
It's not even just the Western world, either.
It's everywhere.
Every developed nation.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's, you know, the symptomatic element of governments is not unique to the UK, but what are they going to do with the next link?
Oh.
Oh.
People only listening to it.
Oh yeah, sorry.
UK being reliant on immigration for nearly 80 years due to falling birth rates.
Amazing.
Just pause on that.
UK will be reliant on immigration.
It's like, hang on a second.
UK. What do they even mean when they're saying that?
What they're saying is there is a collection of institutions which will rely on immigration because the native British people are not replicating enough.
And so the institution of the pensions, the institution of the NHS, the institution of the benefit system, these things will rely on foreign labour to prop them up.
Otherwise, they will collapse.
Yeah.
I don't want to be the guy who has to voice the unpopular opinion, but if it can't be sustained by the British population, maybe we shouldn't have it.
We need to think about the settlement of the 20th century, because we're living in a different country now, and these things are not perpetual.
Yeah, I mean, you could do...
We've spoken on Twitter about how it's utter nonsense that we keep importing millions upon millions of individuals without recognising.
You know, that as a policy is utter insanity anyway.
Remove it from the fertility rate issue.
But it's absolute insanity whilst also still trying to go for net zero.
These two things don't align.
They're completely opposed to one another.
It also doesn't work.
Yeah, there's just no critical thinking skills.
On a certain terms, it doesn't work, because we know that the first generation carry on as they were in the home country.
The second and third generations also have fewer and fewer kids.
So we become kind of like a black hole for lineages.
If your children move to the UK, well, you won't get your grandchildren, actually.
And eventually, so we just, oh, well that means we just need to import more and more people.
And so this is where literally, like, bloodlines go to die.
Ponzi scheme of immigration.
Just to keep these institutions going.
It's like, you know what, I'm not that committed to the institutions.
Having the combination of effectively open borders and a welfare state, a very generous welfare state, the net result of that, that just equals national suicide.
100% it does.
And the broader point you were making, I think, is the one that they won't address, is why is fertility or reproduction rates so low?
What is the general malaise in society that causes that?
There's all sorts of things, like the number of mass killings in schools in America, for example.
It shouldn't be around...
The guns, whether they've got a bump stock on or how big the magazine is.
What is it in the society that causes some 16-year-old to want to go and shoot up his skull?
Well, that is too difficult and too dark and too telling to address that properly in the full light of day.
So we just won't.
Yeah, so that is the broader point to this as a topic here.
The NHS for the future, you know, that's something that they want to do.
Build an NHS fit for the future.
But how?
By just dumping more and more money into it.
There's no limit to the number of African nurses we can hire.
Amazing, those fake degrees that they've got.
We've got totally legit doctorates.
Brilliant.
And again, the next one, you know, UK's considering charging Netflix.
And this is obviously somewhat trivial by comparison, but it's, this is how...
Trivial, the government actually is about everything and how they treat us.
The UK, for those that are not watching and just listening, the UK is considering charging Netflix users the TV licence fee for the BBC. Right.
Why don't you address why people are not watching the BBC? They have to pay for it, at least.
Exactly.
Why don't they want to pay for it?
Trying to build an NHS for the future.
How is this money being spent?
Why is this money being poured down the drain effectively?
Why are the birth rates not happening?
And this is because they've dumbed the population down so far, so far.
They've indoctrinated them so well with all the nonsense and propaganda.
BBC's part of that.
That's why people are switching off.
Rather than addressing, because people are not ready for those hard conversations.
And that's effectively...
This is the point to this whole segment here is that the government, no government in the UK wants to have the very, and it would be a really hard national conversation, right?
The NHS. It's not fit for purpose.
It cannot be an endless black hole.
Yeah?
Not everyone's going to like this take, obviously.
It's like the 17th biggest employer in the world, or the 7th, one of the two.
It's the 7th.
That's mental.
It's below, you know, just below like the Chinese army.
That is stupidity.
Yeah.
Right?
The NHS is over a million employees.
Completely unsustainable.
Exactly.
Absolutely unsustainable.
It has to be torn down and rebuilt.
I mean, it's literally like, something like 6% of the country works for the NHS. Yeah.
It needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
The birth rates.
Okay.
Well, you can't keep important people.
When you haven't built the houses for the people that you've already imported over the last decade.
And then we've got the new figures, which I didn't include here.
We're going to increase by like 5 million in the next couple of years or something like that.
Well, where are they going to go?
What's the infrastructure for them?
This is the issue.
Purely symptomatic.
This is the issue.
What Britain is suffering from is we have a series of legacy institutions from the 20th century.
The pension system, the NHS, the BBC. Various other things that we expect to be able to maintain when we were a country that had a global empire, which was when all of these things were founded, and had the wealth of being essentially the center of the world.
Since then, we have transitioned out of the empire and found ourselves not as the center of the world.
Actually, money and talent doesn't just flow here automatically.
We had a homogenous society and a manageable population at the time.
And now we don't live in that world.
A growing population.
So when the NHS was founded, there wasn't publicly available birth control.
When the pension system was instituted, there wasn't publicly available birth control.
But if you give women the option of having easily accessible publicly available birth control, well, they stop having...
As many children as you expected.
So now that means the pension system, we either have to revisit it or admit that we're going to have to replace our entire...
We're just going to have to cram millions and millions and millions of foreigners in here to pay for a bunch of boomers who had promises made to them.
And I'm sorry, I'm not for that, actually.
Again, Rachel from Accounts.
Has been doing the rounds because yesterday...
I love that.
I love it.
It's so accurate as well.
She was doing the rounds yesterday because she did a speech for economic growth.
It's our number one thing.
We're going to do economic growth.
That's why I raise your taxes.
So this is the point, right?
So again, a prime example of a symptomatic government not prepared for the very, very hard conversations.
They're like, right...
Sorry, I've got to raise your taxes.
Why?
To pay for all these public services.
Right.
Okay.
So...
The current population at the current tax rate actually doesn't fund the public services, right?
That's the implication.
But you're still going to import millions upon millions of people, right?
Well, what's that going to do to the public services you dullard?
Well, it's going to make them worse.
It's going to make them overcrowded.
Difficult to use.
And it's going to increase the wear and tear on them.
So they fail sooner.
Which will cost us more money sooner.
Loads and loads of councils up and down the country are in the red to the tune of millions and millions and millions.
Birmingham just went bankrupt.
That's another...
But we're just going to cram hundreds of thousands of more people year after year into it.
What they're going to be doing, and again, didn't include it in this, but just topically off the top of my head, they want to increase council tax by 25%.
Those areas that they want to do some of that, well, they're doing that because they're not earning enough, because the amount of people that are on benefits in those particular regions, definitely not linked to any patterns there.
I can't notice that.
Like, yeah, no, you're not allowed to notice that.
They can't fund themselves.
They can't sustain themselves.
You know, in 2022, Swindon Town Council sent us a breakdown of how the council tax is spent.
80% of it is redistribution.
It's absolute nonsense.
80%.
It's just like, sorry, I don't agree with this.
Never wanted that.
Never voted for that type of governance and society.
No one has ever asked for that.
I think the broader point you're making is an extremely important one.
Really, really important one.
I mean, among the most important issues and questions of our day is the ability, politically, to look with clear eyes at the real problems.
I mean, least of all, sort of, like, the Islamification of Britain, or the scourge of rape gangs, or the balkanisation of Britain.
It's not just Islam.
The balkanisation of And not just Britain, also all sorts of other countries in the West, in the Anglosphere.
Just to not address the real, real issues of that.
Just to constantly either paper over it, lie about it by omission, or just misdirection.
You know, like, springs to mind Peter Hitchens talking about Southport had something to do with marijuana.
There's no evidence for that one way or another, I don't think.
Or then he went on to say on Twitter that all knife crime or something is a massive correlation.
Definitely.
Don't get me wrong, Peter.
I'm against young people smoking weed too, but I don't think that's the reason.
I'm not some massive pro-weed advocate.
I'm just saying you're missing the point.
What about the...
Josh has talked about it a number of times, just noticing the stats.
Between certain types of people and communities and violent crime.
You're not allowed.
Don't notice that.
It's something to do with Amazon and Bezos and the knife itself and marijuana.
Anything other than looking with clear eyes and being honest, painfully honest, about the real causes of these things.
And the point you're making, I think, is, as I say, I don't think I'm exaggerating to say, it's one of the most important things.
It's the thing we've got to grapple with.
But to stop being scared of it.
It's the reason we're in this position in the first place.
Donald Trump is so incredibly popular right now.
Because he's gone, no, this is a problem, this is a problem, this is how we're going to fix it.
Not, oh, we're just going to paper over that.
It's fine, mate.
Don't worry about it.
We'll just address the symptoms rather than the cause.
And we can keep addressing the symptoms forever, presumably.
And if we had someone in the UK on the right that actually had balls, because we don't, not anyone that's actually in power.
Rupert Lowe's doing a fantastic job.
I'll give you that.
But no one that is on the precipice of power has balls.
None of the party leaders.
No, yeah, literally none of them.
None of them at all.
None of them at all.
But if one of them had balls, if they could look themselves in the mirror and actually go, oh, no, I am.
I've got some balls here.
I've got some courage.
They would be insanely popular.
They'd be insanely popular.
They'd be unpopular with all the right people.
But who cares?
Who cares?
Robert Peston would be peeved with them, wouldn't he?
James O'Brien.
Monologue.
The idea that if you talked about, say, demographics at Destiny and we're heading for a balkanisation and the horrors of what happened in the Balkans in the 90s, you'd just be called...
Someone like Starmer, I'm sure, would just call you a far-right fantasist, just call you all the names under the sun, just a bigot.
When, in fact...
You're just being truthful.
So explain to me the riots in Leicester in 2022, Keir.
That was over a cricket game.
It was about cricket.
It was cricket fans.
That's all it was.
I think to do with religion and ethnicity.
Anyway, on that note, we'll leave that there for time purposes.
Do we have any video comments today?
No video comments today.
What is going on, folks?
Send me some video comments.
I want some video comments next week.
There have been some really great comments actually.
Gabriel says, "Good morning, Loads Eaters.
I'm finally awake and unoccupied during one of your podcasts.
Over the last year and a half, you guys have given me so much catharsis over the nightmare world we live in.
Professional and positive, you guys say what we're all thinking as close as can be said without getting shut down.
You guys are a credit to the cause of saving good people." Thank you so much.
And like, we really appreciate it as well.
We really appreciate all the support and just all the kind feedback that we get.
It's all very, very...
Very nice.
Warlord Wututai says, Great to see Nate back.
Excellent segment.
Oh, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Sophie says, It was honestly genius of Trump to call it the Lake and Riley bill, because no one can reverse it even after he leaves office.
If his successor tries to reverse it, then he'll just look like a monster.
Yeah, you want more Lake and Riley's to happen.
That would be the stick they're beaten with.
A man, when he passed it, he just stood there and listed children who had been killed by illegals, mentioning them by name and talking about their parents like they were his close friends, calling them by name.
It really came across as someone who actually cares about these people.
I didn't even see that, actually.
I didn't see that.
Brutal.
He does care, that's the thing.
Yeah, he really does.
It's very evident that this is something that bothers him.
Omar says, And he's so right on this.
They're so used to having their way, they don't know how to act.
Like purging online discourse until the remaining opponents are erudite scholars.
Yeah, it's been so funny.
Just, oh no, are you really going to do this?
Yeah, no, we're going to do that and more.
And more.
And it's going to get worse for you.
You're going to be even more upset by the things we're going to do.
And we're right to do it.
That's what the point has got to here.
We are right and you are wrong.
And so, Godspeed, Trump.
Arizona Desert Rat says, what a novel idea, sending criminals to prison.
I've heard many complaints about the US having the highest imprisonment rate.
I'll follow that with questions about the efficacy of modern forensics.
Imprisoning people instead of executing them for crimes such as theft, etc.
Well, maybe not execute for crimes of theft, but there are lots of people who deserve the death penalty that Joe Biden commuted.
There is a reason we have high imprisonment.
Yeah, well, you've got loads of criminals.
It's just that simple.
Because you've got massively open borders.
You've got millions and millions and millions of strangers who themselves are often criminals from their own countries.
It's like, why do we have so many criminals?
It's because we've got so many foreigners there.
That's why.
It's literally that simple.
Kevin says, it's a shame that Fong's office wasn't in the Capitol building.
He had put her in solitary confinement in jail for a few years.
A trial without trespassing in the Capitol building.
Yeah, good point.
But no, I think just getting her physically removed is the funny thing.
It's like, no, we're just going to drag you out.
We're physically removing Democrats, thank you.
You're a tiny little 90-pound lady.
Yeah, yeah.
We can physically remove you.
It's not going to be much of an ask, actually.
And you're a little sort of like...
Face.
Yeah, no.
No sympathy.
Literally, I've got no empathy for these people at all.
They've run the country into the ground.
They're running everything into the ground.
Get what you deserve.
Your stern expression has no power over me.
Yeah, yeah.
Your hectoring, harridan ways just fall on deaf ears.
Justin says, the Garsons love the condoms.
They fill them with helium, attach bombs, and float them across the border into Israel, apparently.
Of course they do.
Of course they do.
$7 million a year well spent.
What does Islam say about contraception?
It's against.
It's against.
Literally against.
Literally just spaffing that $7 million up the wall.
It's completely irrelevant.
You're getting bombs sent into Israel.
Maybe Biden's in favour for that reason.
The Unbreakable literally says, superglue to the desk, deport the desk too, and aid her and a better.
Brian says, when are the Californians getting deported back to where they came?
It's nice that Trump's back in office, but I don't like my new neighbours.
George says, as much as Trump has done, it should be mentioned that the foreign aid freeze excludes some countries like Egypt and Israel.
Yeah, that was weird.
Like, why Egypt?
Why the carve-out for Egypt?
No idea.
I mean, obviously the foreign aid thing obviously excludes Israel.
Duh.
But why Egypt?
That's weird.
No idea whatsoever.
Just that last comment.
There's certain places in the Midwest or the South, right, which have seen loads of Californians migrate to places like Tennessee and Texas and stuff.
And the people that are already in Texas are like, we don't want you here.
Can you get deported, please?
Yeah, can you go back to the West Coast where you belong?
You've ruined that place.
Don't ruin this place.
And canvassing for Bernie Sanders.
What the hell are you doing here?
Get out.
I heard that about...
Denver, because one of the only states in the middle of America which went for Kamala was Colorado.
And I remember saying, what's the deal with that, guys?
And loads of people replying, it's because Denver's been flooded by California lefties.
And they literally flee what they've created to create it somewhere else.
Yeah, right.
It's not that they've learned their lesson.
No, they just...
Because there are loads of Californians who are like ex-Democrats, right?
And that's fine.
Makes sense.
Makes perfect sense.
Yeah, I didn't realise.
And then look at what they've done.
Trump.
But you can't possibly...
I mean, there must be some, like, threshold at which, like, you know, when there's nowhere left to flee, do they like, guys, I'm thinking I might have to stop voting Democrat.
Is there a threshold?
There must be a threshold.
Just like the Anna Kasparian curve.
Yeah.
I wonder if and when she would actually...
Something has to happen to them.
I bet she voted for Trump.
Do you think so?
Yeah, I reckon so.
I wonder if she did.
She's been pretty outspoken about, I hate everything about the Democrats.
I know, I've seen all that, but whether she'd bring herself to actually tick the Trump...
I bet she did it with a smile on her.
To say all of that publicly, I think she probably did.
Yeah, I think she's getting really sick of the people around her.
And I think there's an act of resistance she probably did.
But yeah, so the thing to us, Egypt is weird, I don't understand that, but...
I mean, getting it down to only Egypt and Israel?
Okay, fine.
Better than the alternative.
Look, all I'm saying is just send me the head of a Bigfoot.
Do you think we will ever be able to move the normie perception of MLK Jr. past anything but a folk hero?
Same with the civil rights movements?
Seems unthinkable as of yet, but those things are just accepted as fact.
Not in the boomer mind, but the boomers are only going to be with us for another 20 years at most, right?
And the question is, how do the Zoomers feel?
About MLK. How do the Zoomers feel about the civil rights movement?
And actually, they're not massive fans.
It's from a bygone age.
If you're a boomer now, you were young in the 60s.
And so it's part of your life.
You remember it and you were young and impressionable.
But Zoomers now, it may as well be 1914 we're talking about.
It may as well be 1812. It's like they don't remember it.
It's from a gone age.
But also, it was a bygone golden age.
America was doing great during the 60s.
Britain was doing okay.
The West was doing fine.
There looked like there was an optimistic and appealing future ahead of us.
You could buy things.
New things are being invented.
Oh, they've invented this new thing, a microwave, a dishwasher, you know, this kind of car, blah, blah, blah.
You know, houses cost like five grand.
You know, like, yeah, you could get married.
You're going to have a bunch of kids.
This is great.
You know, our birth control's been invented, so now you can have two kids and not have to worry about that.
Just pass that buck down the few generations, right?
Like, things look good for the boomers, and they got on with them.
And to be fair, in their defense, yes, they worked hard.
A lot of boomers did work hard to do very well.
Good for them.
But that's...
Something that's looking more and more remote to the Zoomers.
And so being like, yeah, well, what about MLK? What about MLK? What about him?
Shut up.
The idea that it's a complete given that you will be more successful, more affluent, more healthy than your parents.
And that's not the case necessarily anymore.
Certainly not the case.
So, yeah, I can see why Zoomers, obviously.
It's obvious to me.
Why they would be more jaded.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm not just going to accept that everything that happened in the 60s and 70s was unanimously brilliant for all men.
And I'm really hoping that the Gen Xers who brought us Trump, because Gen X was the demographic that went for Trump, I hope they're looking at their own children's futures, like I am, looking at my children's futures, being like, no, this can't be the case.
You know, if this, you know, the trajectory around the moment, no.
I do not want that for my children, my two-year-old.
In 20 years time, how are things going to look if they're this bad now?
No, it has to be radical change in the other direction.
I don't care how right-wing it ends up getting.
Henry says, just looked up how old Westminster Abbey is.
Yeah, it was Norman.
No, it's pre-normal, actually.
Well, there was something there, but the abbeys, or Henry III, did they say it?
It's Henry III, I believe, who basically built it.
Well, he says the current building was finished in 1060, but I don't think that's true.
I think there was definitely something in there that was built before.
There was a Westminster Abbey there.
But it's not the one we see today.
That was the confessor's one?
Yeah, so there was...
I mean, William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
There was famously a riot outside.
It would have been much smaller.
But yeah, it's not the building we see today.
Nonetheless, the building we see today, if I recall correctly, is from the age of Henry III, which is the 14th century.
Which is still very, very old.
14th century?
Incredibly old, yeah.
True, original, early Gothic, flying buttresses, the whole nine yards.
So yeah, it was there before.
Yeah, there was a building there, but it's not that building.
Oh, 1245, on the orders of Henry III. Oh, sorry.
13th century.
Did I say 14th?
Yeah, so it's more than 15 years old.
Yeah, remarkable.
It's an incredible thing, it's beautiful, and it has MLK on it.
We've been besmirched with an image of...
Every king of England since William the Conqueror has been coronated there.
It's the most sacred site in England.
Absolutely, yeah.
There's no higher honour for an Englishman to be buried or memorialised in there in some way.
I'm genuinely livid.
Yeah, I know.
Which is why we're doing this.
Because it's like, look, sorry.
You have to know that these American nonsense ideas are everywhere here.
And we need to get rid of them, frankly.
Alpha of the Betas says, let he who has never slept in a bed with a small child to test their self-control cast the first stone.
Shouldn't laugh, but that's funny.
Yeah, I can easily...
I can cast a lot of stones on that standard, I'm just saying, you know.
I'm definitely not a weirdo...
No, wait, if I say it like that, that'll get clipped.
I was just going to say, the enema thing.
Yeah.
That is so weird and creepy.
Yeah, let he who has not cast the first stone.
What a weird fetish.
Anyway.
I don't even have an answer for it.
A guy from Hungary says, so Bo, MLK Jr. may have been the Bill Cosby and P. Diddy of his time.
Once in a generation community leader.
I mean, I'm just up for judging him by the content of his character.
He was less of a sex criminal than Bill Cosby.
Marginally.
He only laughed, he was only present at and laughed at a rape.
I don't think there's any evidence he took part in one himself.
Less of a wife beater than Gandhi.
I haven't released the full files yet though.
Who knows?
Which is something I might put in my Twitter bio.
I'm more non-violent than Gandhi.
I've never knocked a woman about.
Beaten fewer women than Gandhi.
Well with pride.
You know, maybe we should start selling badges.
I've beaten fuel in the Gandhi badge.
Don't make me Gandhi, you.
Jimbo says, there's a massive building-wide mural of Nelson Mandela on my commute to work.
With his quote, education is the most powerful weapon with which you can use to change the world.
Well, I mean, bombs were the ones he used.
Like, literally a bombing campaign.
Okay.
Anne says, Bo, based on the segment, I'm hoping you do an epoch on the life of times in Gandhi.
I could definitely do that.
I could definitely do that.
I mean, I've got, just to say to people, I've actually got a long, long list, millions of things to do.
Don't add something to the pile.
No, it is an interesting story of India getting its independence and partition and Gandhi and his assassination and Jinnah and all the characters, Mountbatten.
It's a very interesting story.
What the Pakistanis did to Bangladesh.
Yeah, the story of partition, yeah.
Terrible, terrible thing.
The British made them do it.
NorthFCZuma says, it's actually incredible just how far you have to scroll through Google to find out about Mandela's terrorist activities.
Yeah, it's not accidental.
You don't put statues up with the guy and then we'll let everyone know he's a terrorist.
The first thing that comes up in Google is how many people he killed.
No, obviously not.
Buried well deep.
You have to find some old blog somewhere where someone says actually these are the details and the numbers.
Russian says, on the blind government, one, a specific problem is brought up.
Two, gatekeeper comes in and makes it non-specific.
Hello, James O'Brien.
Three, everyone agrees the non-specific problem is the problem.
Four, next topic.
That's the massaging effect of, we'll just put James O'Brien to call you essentially a racist, saying that, oh, everyone does this.
Hamza Yusuf with the rape gangs of the day.
Like, oh, look, there was a rape gang in Glasgow of a bunch of white crackheads.
No one's talking about it.
So, well, who's defending it?
And they've been convicted.
Exactly, they've been convicted.
No one was covering it up.
Is the council involved?
How many police officers have been arrested?
Two former police officers in Rotherham were involved in the rape gangs?
I'm going to cover at some point in the podcast, just because it popped up on my timeline.
I have a news article.
But, Hunza, you are using them as a defence.
Of the Pakistani rape gangs.
That's why you're posting it.
It's like, that's why he's doing it.
It's like, look, this is the problem, Hamza.
We weren't just being like, we hate brown people.
We were like, maybe the state shouldn't be covering up for rape gangs because they're brown.
Oh, God, it was so insufferable.
So insufferable.
Anyway, Farking Owl says, Nate, the birth rate is related to affordability and education indoctrination.
You can either have pension or kids.
As the government keeps increasing the pension age, private pensions are more necessary, ergo not having kids.
I don't know.
I think there's a lot of it to do with the attitudes of women towards children.
Multifaceted.
The birth rate is multifaceted.
You are right.
It's a cultural thing at the moment.
Oh, no, no.
Yeah, it's multifaceted.
You could do a whole hour, two-hour discussion just about why that sort of failed and is declining.
But, you know, just to simply import people is dumb.
There's a historical trend that the more affluent people are, the less children they have.
It's as simple as that.
You look at India in the early 20th century, the average family side was massive.
Average family size was massive.
A lot of them don't even live past infancy.
Now you look at India, where there's much less poverty, and in fact a massively grown middle class.
They have about the same number of kids as we do.
Maybe a bit more.
But when you live in an affluent society, you have less kids.
And when there's a disaffection or some sort of malaise, I don't know how else to put it, then, yeah, it's multifaceted, absolutely.
Well, and finally, Ross says the majority of stabbings in the UK are committed using drumroll screwdrivers.
So maybe a Kia stabber would be better.
Well, that's the thing, isn't it?
In fact, Daniel says, look, I'm a carpenter.
I'm waiting for the day that I have to license each and every one of my tools and justify some bureaucrat as why I need them to cut wood.
Because tools can be dangerous if used as a weapon.
Yeah, anything's dangerous with a dangerous person.
I mean, address why we have more and more dangerous people.
A chair, for goodness sake, is a weapon.
Anything could be.
We want to stand around now.
I mean, it'd be great for our banks, but, you know.
Or like Gandhi.
Yeah, a screwdriver, a chisel, a hammer.
Literally any.
Or just a wooden chair, smash it up on the chair leg now.
That's now a club.
That's now a bludgeon.
A coffee cup.
Smash it.
Like, it's dangerous people.
Other issue.
Of course, yeah.
Anyway, on that note, Nate, where can people find more of you?
