	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Islander Readers, episode 1120.
	There's a copy of Islander right here.
	I might read it at some point, and so should you, and you can do that by buying it on the website.
	Another Islander reader who's here right now with me is Brother Stelios.
	Thank you, brother Harry.
	And welcome to the commune, folks.
	I'm very happy to address all of you today.
	All of my brothers, my sisters, cousins, uncles, aunties, mothers, fathers, grandparents, and all of you other little freaks in between.
	Yeah, and today we're in a jolly mood.
	We are actually in a jolly mood, yes, we are.
	I think we've got a good lineup today of segments for you.
	And hosts.
	And, well, obviously it's the dream team.
	Come on.
	Come on, it's the Dream Team right now, so you're welcome, everybody watching.
	So, first we're going to be talking about the petition to free Derek Chauvin.
	Then we're going to be talking about the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil.
	I assume that's how you pronounce his name.
	I like the fact that you're asking me, as if I know.
	I don't know either.
	I assume that's how it's pronounced.
	And the benefits of kebab-based migration.
	And Jack has gone.
	Jack, where are you?
	Jack, we need you.
	I need to ask.
	Is Calvin doing something this evening?
	This afternoon?
	What's this noise?
	There is a Calvin's common sense crusade going on after this at 3 o'clock.
	So for all of our subscribers on the website, make sure that you watch that.
	I don't know what that noise is.
	Are you talking about the whir of the AC? Because the AC... Not the AC. There's another noise here.
	It's like...
	I feel like in those horror movies where, you know, the possessed person hears noises, the others don't.
	I don't know, but perhaps you're just a bit touched, Stelios.
	Perhaps.
	Speaking of which, I'm actually appearing on a livestream later on today that people should check out on Proper Horror Show's channel, where I'm talking about a film called His House, which is...
	I've only watched half an hour of it thus far, I'm gonna finish it off later.
	It's about South Sudan refugees who have travelled all the way to England and they're so sad and everything's horrible and everything...
	It's gonna be racists in the walls, I can tell already.
	It's definitely gonna be racists living in the walls, which should, if nothing else, be very entertaining.
	Anyway, I think we've...
	You've wasted enough of your time, so let's get into the news.
	So, there has been a new petition started and movement by, of all people, Ben Shapiro to pardon Derek Chauvin, to petition...
	President Donald Trump in the US to pardon Derek Chauvin.
	Now, I know that you all know this, but if you are watching this on the YouTube clip after and you've just woken up from your 10-year nap under a rock somewhere, Derek Chauvin was the man who supposedly murdered George Floyd, the civil rights and fentanyl icon.
	...of the US civil rights movement and the BLM movement back in 2020. He was convicted for it, sentenced to 21 years.
	It was this big thing.
	I don't know if you remember, but there were riots, cities were burned down, there was about $2 billion worth of property damage.
	And the fact of the matter is that if you watch the footage that was released of the body cam, it becomes very, very clear immediately that Derek Chauvin did not, in fact, murder George Floyd.
	We covered all of this at the time, but it's worth repeating for the sake of clarity in this segment that in fact what happened, from what you can observe, is that George Floyd suffered a fatal fentanyl overdose through taking fentanyl mixed with methamphetamine.
	I'm sure you have plenty of information to share with us about it, but I just want to say one thing that...
	Let us remember how crazy it was after what happened.
	It's almost five years ago now.
	After those fiery but mostly peaceful protests.
	Yeah, it's difficult in the same way that COVID and lockdowns were about five years ago now.
	It's kind of difficult to put yourself back into the mindset that you're in and into those circumstances.
	But it was crazy.
	A short nine-minute video of a guy saying that he couldn't breathe while somebody was supposedly choking him out Defund
	the police.
	Because that's how you're going to make people feel safer.
	Defund the police.
	And the riots that came of all of that burned down $2 billion worth of property damage and led to circumstances like the ones that Kyle Rittenhouse found himself in.
	And I would add the divide between politicians and common people.
	Because you remember that...
	Was it Tim Walz who was governor of Minnesota at the time?
	I think he must have been at the time.
	He must have been.
	And he was essentially rewarded by allowing Minnesota to burn.
	Yes.
	Well, there are a lot of political incentives governing all of this that we'll be able to see as we go on.
	But what you should do as well, watching this on YouTube, is buy Islander.
	It is neither fiery nor mostly peaceful.
	It is, in fact, entirely.
	Peaceful.
	It is harmonious.
	You'll be at one in a state of zen with yourself when you read this magazine.
	It's beautifully illustrated.
	The articles are beautifully written, including contributions from Carl Benjamin, Nima Parvini, Marcus Follin, Morgoth's Review, Connor Tomlinson, and many more.
	And it's well worth a read.
	You can find it on the website for £14.99, and it is a limited run, so get it while you still can.
	And...
	While you're on there, why don't you pick up a little bit of our new merch that we've got.
	We've got the New Islander 3 merch line, which includes things like the film stock, and we've got the Richard the Lionheart t-shirt, we've got some of the other Islander Sunset.
	We've got a wonderful range of merchandise for you right here, so pick yourself up something nice while you're on there, eh?
	Anyway, back to it.
	So Ben Shapiro comes out with this video explaining why it is that Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, going over a little bit of the information I've gone over already, and includes a link to this new website called PardonDerek.com.
	And it's a petition that you can sign your first and last name, give you your email.
	Typical petition site.
	But also includes an open letter from Ben Shapiro and co-signers of this petition to Donald Trump.
	And it's actually quite a good round-up of the information surrounding the case, if you're unfamiliar with it.
	I don't actually know what Donald Trump knows of the circumstances surrounding the case, other than the fact that George Floyd was supposedly murdered by Derek Chauvin.
	Right, so this might be good.
	Maybe he knows him as Fenton or something.
	Maybe he does.
	Maybe he does think that Derek Chauvin was a man who murdered.
	I doubt that he's not informed of the situation.
	But still, it bears repeating.
	I'll just go through this because it's a nice summation.
	George Floyd was high on fentanyl.
	He had a significant pre-existing heart condition.
	He was saying he could not breathe before he was even out of the car.
	Derek Chauvin, for large segments of the widely circulated video of the encounter, had his knee on George Floyd's shoulder or back, not on his neck.
	This was confirmed by the autopsy, which showed no damage to George Floyd's trachea.
	There was no accusation at trial that Derek Chauvin targeted George Floyd for his race.
	That is also a big thing which surprised Callum when he was covering it at the time.
	They were expecting it to be an almost entirely race-based trial.
	That's how it was presented.
	That's certainly how it was presented by the media in 2020, but by the time you get to 2021, they've dropped that aspect of it entirely, and they're going with a more procedural police brutality, police failures kind of approach to their prosecution case against Derek Chauvin.
	That's interesting, because they changed their language.
	Most probably because they had to address people.
	Because there was no evidence that Derek Chauvin was targeting him for his race, especially given that he was in a team of police officers who were doing the arrest.
	There weren't black police officers with him, but there was like an Asian police officer and things like that.
	So it was difficult to make the case that he was racist.
	But also it's difficult to make a case.
	It's different to make a case on TV. On the one hand, and on judges on the other.
	Yeah, in a courtroom where you have to go through established procedural processes.
	But they carry on.
	Perhaps most significantly, there was a massive overt pressure on the jury to return a guilty verdict regardless of the evidence or any semblance of impartial deliberation.
	This pressure took the form of threats, coercion, and intimidation.
	The mayor of Minneapolis prejudged the outcome of the trial and immediately issued a large settlement to the Floyd family.
	then President Biden, Congresswoman Maxine Waters and others prejudged the outcome of the trial and took to national media to create pressure on the jury to go along with their preferred narrative.
	Under these circumstances, there was no opportunity for blind justice to work and a man is now rotting in prison because of it.
	All of that is true and he's not just rotting as we'll get on to.
	He has been assaulted violently in prison for political reasons.
	And, again, what they're saying there is absolutely right.
	Take your mind back.
	to early 2021, the first half of 2021, when this original trial was going on.
	You were only a few months removed from the previous year's worst riots that burnt down cities, and then you see that there is this powder keg ready to erupt again.
	People who are supporters of Black Lives Matter are posting on social media about how if they do not see a guilty verdict, they will burn cities again.
	Which we already knew that they had the year before and had basically been sanctioned in many Democrat-run cities and states by the authorities.
	And the establishment essentially holds him as a political prisoner but also communicated a profound message of weakness because they did put him in prison but the cities were burned regardless.
	So it's both immoral.
	Unjust, but also, no, they didn't achieve any kind of purpose.
	Absolutely, and if people...
	It's stupid as well.
	Yeah, and if people want to say about a principled argument, then, I mean, there was no chance of any kind of fair trial.
	If you want to talk about the presumption of innocence before guilt, Derek Chauvin was judged guilty before he ever got near that courtroom.
	Look at how all the deontological considerations are dropped when it comes to someone that the left wants to prosecute.
	Well, that's the way that it had worked for a very, very long time.
	And for the people in the rumble rants that we're getting here, saying that the president can only pardon federal crimes, Chauvin pled guilty to some federal charges unrelated to Floyd.
	If he's pardoned, all that happens is he's taken from federal prison to a state prison.
	I will be getting onto that.
	I would assume that if there was any momentum generated by this, and if Donald Trump were to give some kind of official pardon, or at least a statement saying that Derek Chauvin was an innocent man,...perhaps...
	Americans in the audience can correct me.
	Perhaps the Supreme Court or a state court overturning the charges that he was convicted guilty of.
	Because I would imagine that that's how you're able to get him out of prison.
	So perhaps the momentum can build to something positive for Chauvin, because he should not be rotting in a prison right now.
	And if you want more evidence of everything that's been laid out here, and everything that I've been saying, you don't need to go any further than the full body cam footage of the George Floyd arrest that was released.
	Let's see here.
	Four years ago, on the 10th of August, 2020. Months.
	Months after the controversy had already erupted and after cities had already been burned down.
	They waited almost, what is that, three months from the initial incident itself to release the police body cam footage, which shows exactly what Ben Shapiro and others are describing, which is that even before he was in the...
	Choke hold, supposed choke hold, he was already in the car saying that he couldn't breathe.
	He was resisting arrest, he was screaming, he was trying to make a scene, and then in the course of being restrained, which was his own fault because he was resisting arrest, he managed to cause cardiopulmonary failure, by the sounds of it.
	Also because of the fact that he was on a load of drugs.
	Clearly he was high.
	At points in the video, I won't show it.
	At points in the video, you can see flecks of spit and white foam starting to come out of his mouth well before he's ever laid on the ground and has the knee applied to him.
	And it was suggested as part of the trial as well.
	The only reason that at that time, Derek Chauvin and the others did not administer Narcan or other anti-overdosing drugs was because of the fact that, well...
	A mob had formed around them.
	They didn't know how to respond to the situation.
	You've got to make split-second decisions, and so they made the decision to get the ambulance there, get him into the ambulance, and get out of there as quickly as possible, because there was potentially a riot on their hands because of the mob that had formed around them.
	Very difficult position to find yourself in.
	I don't know what I would have done in that position.
	I don't know if you know what you would have done in that position either.
	But the thing is, if you go down here and look at the comments, you get a lot of people like this.
	After seeing this video, I'm never going to believe what the media says ever again, because prior to this being released, the only video that we had of the incident was the one that was initially spread on social media.
	Which is obviously only a very, very small select part of the overall incident.
	The video is, what, 9-10 minutes long?
	The actual full body cam footage of it is 30 minutes long.
	So, just watch that.
	Then you can also go to the official autopsy report that was released, where it said things like there were no life-threatening injuries identified, and that he had 11...
	Nanograms per milliliter, I assume that is, of fentanyl in his body, which was about double the lethal dose?
	Okay.
	That's about double.
	Now, I remember when this came up in the trial, the argument that the prosecution made was that George Floyd was so used to taking fentanyl, because he took so much of it, that his body had adapted and become basically immune to it.
	Like, he had the tolerance of a horse.
	To this stuff, was the argument that they made.
	But then you can also see other things.
	He also had methamphetamine.
	I think he also had caffeine.
	Caffeine, that must have been what did it.
	I think he also had, yeah, cannaboids in there, so he'd been smoking some cannabis as well.
	So there was a lot of drugs in his system.
	He already had heart problems, and I believe there was some kind of blockages to his heart valves as well.
	So this was just a perfect storm.
	For this man, especially when he's being restrained, he's expelling a lot of energy, to have some kind of incident.
	And it just happened that it happened when Derek Chauvin was trying to arrest him.
	It's like a bodily powder keg.
	Yeah.
	It's about to explode.
	Exactly.
	And this is very, very similar to the kind of trumped-up charges that were thrown against the people, the police officers, who attempted to arrest...
	Rodney King back in the day, and I did a video on this based around a media analysis of American History X where the Rodney King case comes up in a few of the scenes, and it led in a very similar way to riots more centralized in Los Angeles.
	Obviously you get things like the rooftop Koreans out of it, but the media also went out of their way to depict the police officers who were caught on camera beating Rodney King as Evil racists who just did it for the sake of the fact that they'd arrested a black man.
	Completely ignoring the fact that he had been driving drunk and high through residential areas, being chased by the police at 120 miles per hour for over an hour, and that when they eventually got him to pull over, he was resisting arrest, and actually the techniques that they were using were standard police procedure.
	When it got to trial...
	And this is a clip I love from this video.
	When it got to trial, the police officer who was involved in it, the main police officer who was involved in it, was asked, well, if you needed to restrain him because he was resisting, why didn't you put him in a chokehold?
	And he responds with, because chokeholds were associated with police brutality against black men.
	They still rioted and people died.
	Innocent people were pulled from vans and lorries and died.
	Sorry, carry on.
	No, I just wanted to say, absolutely, you're absolutely correct.
	And I just wanted to say that you forgot to mention that for the left, there is zero personal responsibility for anything that anyone does that is bad, if you're a darling on the left.
	So all of what you're telling us right now, the methamphetamine, the fentanyl, all the presence of all these ingredients and substances, but also the established bad behavior.
	It's just a problem of structures and society.
	It's society's fault.
	Of course.
	And it means that we have to be held hostage by these delusional, irresponsible, unaccountable people.
	By some people who, for some reason, are going to draw distinction and it's not going to be their fault.
	It's everyone else's fault.
	And because of incidents like Rodney King and the riots that erupted after that...
	George Floyd and the riots that erupted after that.
	This is not the kind of morality that you can hold a stable society together with.
	This always erupts into violence.
	And if you get the opportunity, if you subscribe to the website, this is a video I'm still very proud of, so please watch that if you get the chance.
	But obviously with this petition, some people are calling out Ben Shapiro for what they're calling hypocrisy, which is immediately following the video being released of George Floyd's death.
	Ben Shapiro was suggesting that, well, he was outright saying that it was a bad police officer who destroyed George Floyd's rights, actually murdered him, but at the same time he was always saying that they shouldn't be going out rioting, looting, targeting business owners, etc., etc.
	I would say this is...
	I can accept that he would say this immediately following it when all we have is the video that was released to social media.
	We had very, very limited information at the time, and to be fair to him, he was still saying, listen guys, rioting is not the answer to this.
	Now since then, we've had a lot more information released.
	It's five years later.
	People can change their minds on this.
	I know some people don't like to be very charitable to Ben Shapiro.
	I'm not a huge fan of him, but defending the rights...
	of an innocent man who's being held as a political prisoner is something that I can stand by him for.
	And the interesting thing with Shapiro as well is, obviously, given his connections, it's able to get to people like Elon Musk, who has also responded to this saying that it's something to think about.
	Now, we'll see if this ends up going anywhere, if it's just another one of those things that Elon Musk posts on Twitter and then forgets about a week later, as he loves doing, but...
	Elon Musk is very close to the president, and this kind of momentum could be built to try and get something positive done for Derek Chauvin.
	I could only hope.
	But in this article, there's extra information.
	So the Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in the statement that Trump's potential pardon, as was pointed out by one of our very generous rumble ranters, wouldn't free Chauvin since he's still concurrently serving a state sentence where he's anticipated to be released on the 10th of December.
	2035, again.
	In 10 years.
	Yes.
	10 and a half years.
	10 years.
	He was originally given a 21-year sentence, so I would assume that it would be half the sentence and then out on parole.
	That's almost three quarters.
	And also three quarters of a sentence after there has been evidence that the crime wasn't essentially...
	I mean, the evidence came out during the trial.
	But obviously it was a kangaroo court, so he wasn't able to get his...
	A real fair hearing on this.
	Carries on to say, Eric Nelson,
	whom he says failed to relay to him a Kansas forensic pathologist's theory that Chauvin did not cause Floyd's death.
	Given the significant nature of the criminal case that Chauvin was convicted of, and given that the discovery he seeks could support the pathologist's opinion of how Mr. Floyd died, the court finds that there is good cause to allow Chauvin to take the discovery, and it adds that Chauvin's defense team will now have the ability to procure evidence from histology slides and tissue samples taken from the victim's heart during his initial autopsy, the results of which were used to convict Chauvin and three others.
	And further down in the...
	in the article as well it talks about the two autopsies that were conducted there were two one that was commissioned by floyd's family and one that was officially done as part of the trial i believe um so it says the official cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest caused by law enforcement subdural restraint and neck compression so in that one that i showed where it was saying about all of the fentanyl that he had in his system
	they still decided to conclude that derek chauvin's interference interference uh restraining him was the overall cause of death Obviously, a politically motivated conclusion.
	A second autopsy, this one commissioned by Floyd's family, came to the same conclusion, citing asphyxia specifically as the cause of death.
	That means that he couldn't breathe, the asphyxia.
	I think we should go back to what you said before.
	If I touch you and you explode, it's not going to be my fault.
	I don't know, what have you got on the tip of your finger?
	We're not talking about a case of this sort.
	When you're a police officer who is expected to try and use force to restrain people who are not cooperating, there are going to be some actions you're allowed to do and you're expected to do.
	Now, if as a result of these actions, someone with a lot of other issues ends up dead, it doesn't seem to me to be that it's your fault, because you did exactly what your job was supposed to be, and it wasn't something that was out of line.
	No, I agree.
	And the interesting thing about these two autopsies is they both say, well, yeah, actually...
	He didn't choke to death.
	It was cardiopulmonary arrest caused by the law enforcement.
	But at the same time, one says neck compression, the other says asphyxia specifically is the cause of death.
	So even these two autopsies come to slightly different conclusions.
	And in the one that was commissioned by Floyd's family, it ruled out the possibility that underlying medical problems contributed to Floyd's passing, citing how...
	Floyd was able to speak under the pressure of Chauvin's knee.
	So he can't have had a heart problem that was set off terribly by the drugs and being put under restraint because he can speak under the pressure of the knee, but at the same time is being choked to death by that same knee, but can speak.
	The issue is that when they're citing asphyxia as the cause of death, they are omitting the question of what causes asphyxia.
	It's definitely the case that restraint added to the whole thing, but it wasn't the only thing, as the autopsy shows.
	Yes, and as the video shows that he was already high as a kite.
	And already shouting, screaming that he couldn't breathe before he was put under any restraint.
	And again, this is stuff that was interestingly known at the time.
	The medical examiner's autopsy, I think that's the original one, the second one was the one commissioned by Floyd's family, said that...
	And this came out in June of 2020, very soon after the initial incident.
	They said that his cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest, complicating law enforcement, subdural restraint, neck compression.
	That conclusion, death due to heart failure, differs from the one reached by an independent examiner hired by the Floyd family.
	The medical examiner's report does not mention asphyxiation.
	However, according to prosecutors, in charging documents filed, early results revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.
	Okay, so what was it then?
	One autopsy says that it wasn't anything to do with asphyxiation.
	The other one says it was something to...
	The one that was commissioned by his family says that it was asphyxiation.
	So even at the time, the beginning of June, a few days after the incident...
	Already you're getting conflicting reports, but the riots were allowed to happen anyway.
	The misinformation about what killed him was already allowed to spread, and they also mentioned that he had heart disease, hypertension, and sickle cell trait.
	Again, powder keg waiting to go off.
	And for that, what does Derek Chauvin get?
	He gets years in prison where he's already been stabbed 22 times by some Mexican mafioso who did it specifically as a symbolic connection to the Black Lives Matter movement.
	Politically motivated stabbing by a criminal for a man who did nothing wrong other than his job.
	On that day, when it happened.
	Has this got to Donald Trump?
	Well, somebody asked Donald Trump whether he's gonna pardon Derek Chauvin.
	Again, not that that would actually get him out of prison, but still, it might set off a chain of events.
	What did Donald Trump have to say about the matter?
	Your allies are calling on you to pardon Derek Chauvin.
	Are you considering pardoning Derek Chauvin?
	No, I haven't even heard about it.
	Okay, so it's not really got to him yet, and he doesn't really seem to have it high on his list of priorities.
	You also get, at the same time, people like this supposed conservative, American conservative Rob Smith, saying that pardoning Derek Chauvin is a terrible idea, because is there a principled reason for this, or is it for purely pragmatic or maybe even personal reasons?
	He says it does nothing for Trump's agenda.
	Yes, it does.
	Freeing or trying to free an innocent man is always a good thing.
	And it would cause racial strife in America.
	It's an idea that's so toxic and destructive.
	I don't know what Ben Shapiro is thinking.
	Well, he's thinking an innocent man is in prison, and on principle, that is wrong.
	He is a political prisoner held hostage by the previous regime, and America...
	As a whole is being held hostage by these kinds of people, being allowed to get away with it.
	Racial strife means that you are being held hostage by insane activists and populations who are eager to burn down their own neighborhoods the second that some kind of hint of police brutality is thrown at them on social media.
	You cannot have a society like this, and this is not a principled position to take.
	And I can only finish this segment off by saying that whether or not Donald Trump pardoning him would get the justice that he needs, would get him out of prison, whatever needs to happen to get him out of prison needs to happen, because he should not have been there in the first place.
	And let's go through some of the rumble rants.
	Alright, so we're going to the bottom.
	Fleetlord Atvar says, wrong about Derek Chauvin, he belongs in jail but not for Floyd's death, but he's a crooked cop, say locals.
	I don't know anything about that, so I can't comment on it.
	Sigilstone17, I knew the Irish liked to breed, but damn Harry, you got a lot of family watching.
	I'm not Irish in the slightest, actually, nor am I Welsh.
	The Ancestry DNA test said nothing of either of those.
	I'm very, very English.
	Sigilstone17 again says, Tim Walz is still governor of Minnesota, so Trump could pardon Chauvin and they make Walz pardon Chauvin by threatening to release Walz's receipts from Glock's horse semen sales department.
	Oh my.
	Alex Trusk says, I don't think it matters if they know that they're lying or not.
	It's why they're lying.
	What goals are they trying to achieve through their lies?
	I'm sure at the same time there's plenty of true believers.
	There's plenty of people who look at all of the information regarding George Floyd's death and completely dismiss everything to do with the fentanyl, with the meth in his system, with his heart problems, and just say, yes, it's completely logical that if you rest your knee on the back of a man's neck, he will choke to death.
	I will not recommend that you try it out, but...
	Do not try this at home.
	I know how to do a rear naked choke hold.
	That's not how you choke people out.
	There's nothing to choke back here.
	There is your spine.
	This is where all the choking takes place, alright?
	But that's neither here nor there.
	And AHNC underscore hat says, I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
	Three days of burning and looting.
	I must correct you, though.
	There were $2 billion worth of insured property damage in 2020. The total damage is much higher.
	Thank you for correcting me.
	Right.
	So there's an ongoing case in the U.S. with respect to whether someone called Mahmoud Khalil is going to be deported or not.
	And there are several interesting stuff about the issue.
	Trump has said that it's going to be one among many deportations of pro-Hamas people that are going to happen.
	And the people who are against his deportation are trying to say that it is basically unconstitutional and that there are no provisions by the Constitution that allow someone like the Minister of Foreign Affairs to have such power as to completely deport someone from the country.
	I don't know anything about this case.
	I'm only just hearing about it for the first time today.
	So I rely on you to be able to give me all the information I need.
	I will give you all the information I need, but first things first.
	Islander 3. It's a third issue and I think people are really happy about it.
	It has already been a sensation.
	Everyone says the best things.
	Harry, I think you really like it.
	Yeah?
	Right.
	And you can buy it for £14.99.
	Not even £15.
	Yeah?
	You get one penny.
	You get one penny off £15.
	That's how generous and loving we are.
	Look at all the wonderful aesthetic here.
	Yes, right.
	So, back to our topic.
	So, last Saturday, there was someone called Mahmoud Khalil who was arrested in his home.
	Pardon me, let's go here.
	Right, so he was arrested in his university owned home by ICE. And he was taken to custody in Louisiana.
	He was the lead student negotiator for the pro-Palestine encampment at Columbia last year, and also at the New York City College in, I think, last April.
	And he's associated with violent assaults and disruptions, and he is considered to be...
	Someone who is an activist by the left, but also someone who is a pro-terrorist by the right.
	Right, so let's come here and see what's going on.
	We have here pro-Palestinian Columbia graduate apprehended by ICE after leading on-campus protests.
	And we have...
	Basically the information I gave you.
	And what I wanted to share with you by this article is this point here.
	So Amy Greer, Khalil's attorney, said she was told by a DHS agent over the phone that his team had executed a State Department order to revoke Khalil's Syrian visa.
	And the agent also said they were revoking his green card.
	So he is a Palestinian born in Syria.
	He grew up in Syria and he went to the U.S. to study.
	And I think he is studying for a master's in law, if I'm not mistaken.
	And he is very heavily involved into the protests.
	Reports say that he went to the U.S. in 2022. He got married to a U.S. citizen.
	She's pregnant with an eight-month kid.
	So he's got a green card then?
	He's got a green card and a student visa, and according to these reports, the State Department is revoking both of them.
	Right, so what's going on here?
	So they're revoking them purely for his involvement in pro-Palestinian activities on campus, or is there more to it?
	Okay, so I'll show you how it's presented by both sides.
	So the left says...
	It's an issue of free speech.
	He has the right of free speech.
	He is pro-Palestine, and he is an activist, and he is essentially helping people to just stop being bigoted and become aware of the Palestinian plight and cause.
	And he shouldn't get deported because there are no constitutional provisions for him to get deported, number one.
	That's the institutional argument.
	And also they...
	Presumably they agree with it on a moral basis.
	So let's say, morally speaking, he is on the right side of history.
	So he shouldn't get deported.
	So moral and institutional, that's the way the left is presenting him.
	Now, people from the right, or people who are non-leftists, basically, they are presenting him not as necessarily pro-Palestinian, but as pro-Hamas.
	They're presenting him as a subversive terrorist sympathizer.
	Exactly.
	And they're saying essentially that there is plenty of evidence to show that he isn't just someone who is talking about the plight of Palestinians and the collateral damage in Israel's war effort in the conflict in Gaza.
	But he is someone who is actively cheering for Hamas.
	That's how they're presenting him.
	And they are...
	Appealing to what is called the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 that has a particular provision that says any alien whose presence or activities in the U.S. the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the U.S. is deportable.
	and they're saying that right now the united states has a foreign policy of combating anti-semitism around the world and they are essentially saying that his presence in the u.s would undermine the objective and would undermine the the spirit of u.s foreign policy and its ties to israel
	yeah it's it's it's i must say whenever anything like this comes up with the united states basically allowing special carve-outs for its foreign policy of combating anti-semitism around the world it makes me frustrated that okay if you can do that if you can refer back to the 1952 immigration and nationality act to find a reason to be able to deport this man
	can you not do the same for, for instance, anti-white hatred, anti-white rhetoric, anti-white behavior?
	That happens, and actions where people are killed in their own countries, where they're being displaced, where they're being swapped in their own countries, perhaps, within the United States itself.
	The United States is a country built by Europeans primarily, if you go back to the words of the Founding Fathers, for European people.
	Why does the special carve-out have to be purely for them and not us?
	Why can you not take people who may have had dubious legality from the BLM protests and the riots in 2020?
	Can you not use these same kinds of provisions to declare BLM its own kind of terrorist organization and then deport people who shouldn't have been in the country who were supporting them?
	Right, so I think there are two...
	That's my own personal rights.
	There are two positions to...
	Put here, number one, is that this is a deportation case, and in a lot of cases where we're talking about movements such as the BLM movement, we could be talking about people who are native to the US. Of course, but I do not doubt that many illegal immigrants were probably included in those BLM riots.
	You're correct on this, and I don't want to evade what you said before.
	I agree with the following.
	I think that it isn't just anti-Semitism that the U.S. state should, for instance, try combat, and obviously the question is how does it combat it, but people from, let's say, from the U.S. society, but also the government, should take issue with anti-whiteism as well.
	Where's...
	With all sorts of anti-Westernism, with all these narratives that are intended to completely destabilize society.
	I mean, Donald Trump...
	Donald Trump, in fairness, has taken some actions against South Africa recently following their explicitly anti-white policies that they were putting forwards.
	But where is this kind of behaviour directed towards people within the US who are entirely supportive of the actions of the South African government?
	Where's the American...
	Where has been the American overwhelming support for a community like Irania in South Africa, for instance, who are just barely surviving and just want to be left alone, whereas the rest of the country and much of the international community wants them dead?
	Well, I mean, sadly, there seems to not be the amount of solidarity you'd expect there to be in.
	Certain communities.
	And for instance, you can see that entirely in the left.
	The left is constantly disrupting a number of identities.
	And every time someone says that there should be solidarity between communities and people who share a particular identity, they constantly get branded and cancelled or become the target of an assault, a character assassination.
	To be fair, with Trump in charge...
	Honestly, I respect people who stand up for themselves.
	There has been a somewhat shift in policy, at least regarding South Africa, with Trump, at the very least.
	He's not wanting them to be able to abuse the white population quite as easily as they want to.
	Right, so here there is a judge that blocks the deportation of Khalil and...
	What is interesting to say here is that who appointed him?
	Harry, who would you expect him?
	Who appointed this judge?
	The judge.
	I couldn't tell you.
	Oh, does it say...
	Oh, wait, no, it says...
	Well, we'll get there, we'll get there.
	It says Obama.
	Yeah.
	It says Obama.
	Federal Judge Jesse Furman from the Southern District of New York poured cold water on Trump's plan on Monday.
	Furman blocked the administration from deporting Khalil until at least the next court hearing on Sunday.
	And they're saying that this judge was appointed by President Obama in 2012. Brilliant.
	Right.
	So here we have several...
	There are all sorts of footage about Halil on X. Here we have some.
	And I will say some of them is fake.
	And some of them are just...
	They just say it's him where it isn't.
	So, for instance, there are several videos where they're talking about demonstration in Canada and also in New York where they say this is Khalil who is actively calling for...
	And they're just misrepresenting videos.
	If you see who is speaking, it's not him.
	Yeah.
	And you can definitely see this because this is him here and the people that are being, that are involved and being shown in other videos have a completely different hairline.
	Oh, okay.
	He does have, he's got, what is that?
	Is that stage two Norwood?
	Stage two, stage three.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's receding a lot.
	He's kind of got a Vegeta look.
	Yeah, so what I wanted to say is that a lot of videos are out there showing him.
	Being involved in several kinds of protests, not all of them are veridical.
	Not all of them are true.
	Some of them are straightforwardly false.
	You can just see it.
	But the point is, he was known for a long time by the authorities.
	And I found an article here that was published in 2023, October 12, five days after October 7. Right, so it says here, that's National Post, it's a Canadian one.
	So it says, first reading, terrorist sympathizers on Parliament Hill, Canada's Palestinian extremism problem.
	Mahmoud Khalil, who was invited to a Parliament Hill reception just last year, pledged fealty to Hamas at a rally in Ottawa.
	And that's back in 2023. Back in 2023, five days after the Hamas.
	And this is confirmed to be Khalil.
	Well, the point is, if you see here lots of footage, it's deleted.
	So they have links, but they have been deleted.
	So here, if you open them, they say that this is an Instagram post by Khalil himself.
	And also pick up by the X account.
	But also the point is that the Instagram page isn't available and the page here doesn't exist.
	Oh, right.
	Okay.
	But what is interesting is that this hasn't been published right now where the whole thing is happening.
	This was published essentially five days after.
	The atrocities of October 7th in 2023. So it's not someone who was just a scapegoat.
	They say, okay, right, we found footage of him at the student protests.
	Let's just deport him to make an example out of him.
	There does seem to have been from the time evidence.
	There does seem to be history.
	And I have here several stuff from the article where it says here...
	That Dave is the Hamas commander credited as the mastermind of the October 7th terror attack.
	And against Israel, the chant was led by Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist who has previously been at the head of marches in Montreal, explicitly calling for Israel's end.
	Let me see.
	Yes, that's here.
	Here we are.
	What I read is from here.
	I don't want to be accused for reading things that you don't see.
	Right.
	And it says here, in April, he led a crowd in front of Montreal's Israel consulate and led a chant of, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
	The slogan, which refers to the Jordan River, yeah, we know, we all know this.
	And they say that the October 7 attack, which was live streamed, which resulted in the indiscriminate massacre of 1,200 Israelis, much of it live streamed, was dubbed operational AXA flood by Hamas.
	On Monday, Khalil praised the flood and pledged to ride it into the center of Jerusalem.
	They say his Monday ended with a call to support it to, open quote, be the nightmare, close quote, in Canada.
	And as I said, we're going to be the nightmare here.
	We're going to be the nightmare in Gaza.
	Some pretty intense rhetoric.
	Yes.
	And we have here all these...
	Links that we can't find anything here.
	But if you look at the X link, I could open it and I saw a lot of people in the comments.
	First, it said that the owner of the account wants to limit visibility.
	That was a few hours ago.
	And if you saw underneath, the comments were all...
	Deport, deport, deport, deport him.
	Right, so he doesn't seem to be someone who was just handpicked, who was just identified as a voice who spoke pro-Palestine in the encampment.
	There's some priors to this.
	Exactly.
	Right, so there have been several marches in solidarity for him.
	Right now, yesterday there was a march in New York City.
	We have also...
	Puerto Rican pro-Trump supporters who are disrupting it and having a chanting, send them back.
	And here we have a representative of him.
	I think it's his lawyer.
	I am a staff attorney with the Clear Project and one of Mahmoud Khalid's attorneys.
	And I will be reading a statement on behalf of Mahmoud Khalid's wife, who does not wish to be named.
	My husband was kidnapped from our home and it's shameful that the United States government continues to hold him because he stood for the rights and lives of his people.
	I demand his immediate release and return to our family.
	His disappearance has died.
	None of this should be in America in the first place.
	That's always the first thing that comes to my mind when I watch videos like this, is that your desert conflict does not need to be in America, and it should not be in America.
	I mean, it should definitely not be in a university.
	And the universities have been politicized by the left for a long time now, I think at least.
	But it's just another example of...
	The end of the 50s, early 60s.
	Importing these mass populations into your country, you import their problems and their conflicts as well.
	But someone found also her, someone found some footage of her.
	She was in several...
	Zoom calls and she was essentially giving advice to people how to not get identified as a Hamas supporter.
	To be fair, you say that.
	Was that don't get identified as a Hamas supporter because you are a Hamas supporter or don't get identified as a Hamas supporter illegitimately?
	Because you're going to get caught.
	Because you are a Hamas supporter, not because they're going to just falsely accuse you of it.
	Right, so we have here Marco Rubio who basically says that it's not an issue of free speech, it's an issue of foreign policy but also national security because they are saying that they are tying him with all the activities and with action that they are considering to be harmful for the US. Right, so...
	And what do I want to say?
	Anyway, we have several links here.
	I don't want to bore you with more of this.
	But I think basically that there should be zero tolerance for any kind of such political activism in universities.
	Well, that's all a foreign conflict.
	I literally think universities are there for people to go and get educated.
	It's not for people to go and become activists because they want to build their CV while they're disrupting people's education.
	So on this principle, you would be equally against a pro-Palestine or a pro-Israel protest because it doesn't need to be in the universe.
	A pro-BLM, a pro-anything.
	I don't think universities should be...
	They're for political activism.
	I think that's a very fair position to take.
	People who want to go and be activists, they can go and take the road and see where it takes them.
	But universities, I think the very disruption of universities is essentially a kind of, how should I say, a kind of subversion of a society.
	The universities, it's also a symbol.
	It isn't just an issue of imparting know-how in particular expertises, for particular expertises.
	It's a symbol.
	And they want to subvert it, and they want to subvert education, and there should be zero tolerance for this.
	This is actively destroying societies.
	This is actively destroying communal sentiment, and it actually makes people to either feel ashamed for their countries, If they are in the West.
	Or entirely are not ready to defend them.
	And I'll just say this.
	This happens throughout the West.
	This kind of anti-Western propaganda has been given birth primarily from universities.
	And universities and schools right now are just nests of, I'd say, nests of ideological...
	Indoctrination and manipulation.
	I think there should be zero tolerance of this.
	I agree, and it's been going on for decades as well.
	You can go back to things like Shelby Steele discussing in his book White Guilt, back when he was a black activist in the original civil rights movement, how the universities basically let him and his friends steamroll the place, take it over.
	Exactly, and it's also an issue of habituation.
	If you allow this to happen, you're creating the habit.
	For it to happen, and you're habituating people into thinking that it's always going to be that way, where it doesn't have to be that way.
	Societies don't have to be dysfunctional just because the left wants it.
	In the same way that I was discussing in the last segment, you can't let these people take your entire country hostage.
	You don't need to capitulate to their feelings.
	Because their feelings are changeable and selective.
	They choose who they care about based entirely on political praxis.
	They do not have principles.
	And you do not have to be held hostage by them.
	Let's go through a few of the rumble rants that we've had.
	So, the engaged few for $5.
	Thank you very much.
	You're normally quite a cheap bastard, to be honest.
	It says, a guest in your home does not spit on the floor, much less claim a right to do so, and has no right to be allowed to stay and continue spitting.
	I mean that in the best endearing terms, by the way.
	And you're absolutely right.
	JM underscore Denton says, we let aliens insult the crap out of America and stand against us on every level, but anti-Israel gets deported.
	Wonderful.
	And you know the left is going to deport right-wingers with this.
	Yeah, again, for me, it's not a question of, oh, I just hate Israel so much or anything like that.
	It's just a question of, okay, if they can have the special carve-out, why can't the people descended from the founding stock of America also have the special carve-out?
	Why does there need to be a special carve-out at all?
	Well, I mean, yeah, I see this.
	I think at the end of the day, it's all about, you know, who you're going to support and whether your people are going to support you.
	You can have people in communities that support each other very closely, and you can have other communities where the left has taken hold to such an extent where people just feel bad for supporting each other.
	Yeah, and we should support ourselves, ultimately.
	And Johannes Hugenboom says, Harry, if Stelios is bullying you and you need help, blink twice.
	Honestly, sorry, before we go to the next segment, I find it absolutely hilarious that people are constantly trying to project a huge rivalry between us.
	It's a weirdly common thing that some people have.
	This is just how Stelios and I communicate.
	We have fun.
	It's okay.
	We're friends.
	I know that people love to take clips of me.
	Interacting with some of my current and former co-hosts and post them on Twitter.
	But Stelios and I get along great.
	Don't we, Stelios?
	Remember, Northerner, what happens when the North comes to the South?
	Is that a Tywin Lannister?
	I don't remember.
	I've not watched Game of Thrones in years.
	I'll tell you afterwards a theory as to why I think people believe this.
	Anyway, so final segment for the day.
	Let's talk about Britain's problem with the skilled kebab visas.
	We've just got too many skilled kebabs in this country.
	You mean kebab or gyros?
	Kebab.
	I had gyros last night, which was actually very nice.
	It was the first time ever having it.
	You saved it now.
	No, these are like halal kebab places.
	Okay, so...
	First of all, I wanted to say that this is going to be one of those segments where I just talk about how run-down, miserable, grimy England and the rest of Britain is these days.
	Thanks to all of the problems that we constantly discuss.
	It's another one of those.
	They're going to make a difference with this.
	This one will make the...
	We're turning the tide this time, boys!
	So, I wanted to let everybody know that there is...
	Out in the world still, there are people creating good culture, including us!
	With the Islander magazine, which we've now got issue 3, volume 3, out on the website, available for $14.99.
	And this is a really wonderful piece of work by some great authors.
	We've got contributions from Morgoth's Review, Nima Parvini, Carl Benjamin, Marcus Follin.
	Plenty and as a pure aesthetic experience as well, you will feel great reading it, because as always, Rory's done a wonderful job with the visual design.
	But furthermore than that, I always want to support other people within our spheres, friends of the channel, who are trying to develop culture, produce positive culture, and as such, I'd just like to give a quick shout-out to Philosophy Cat, who is currently in the process of getting a documentary released called The Soul of Chivalry, which will be premiering on March 20th, 2025.
	It's based on some of the works of Julius Evola, particularly Revolt Against the Modern World, and it's talking about the Middle Ages of Europe and the numerous knightly orders that emerge, their esoteric secrets kept only for the initiates.
	It sounds really, really interesting.
	It's...
	It's already won Best Documentary at Bluebird Film Festival.
	You can watch the documentary.
	You can watch the trailer on here and I believe on the website that you can follow there.
	It's already on pre-order.
	So I just wanted to throw a little word out for people that within our spheres there are people actually producing culture, producing work that people can appreciate and something that harkens back to a time when things were a bit better, perhaps.
	I really find interesting anything that has to do with initiation practices.
	It has my attention.
	Let's not go back onto your cult when we were developing our Lads Hour cults.
	I remember some of the initiation practices.
	Very Greek.
	Very Greek.
	You misremember.
	I do remember.
	That one was popular with a certain segment of our audience.
	Anyway, so...
	Of course, one of the big problems in the UK right now is all of the immigration, and the one thing that the mainstream media always wants to harp on is the illegal crossings of the channel, and you can track them very, very easily on Migration Watch UK. So let's take a look at some of the figures that have been coming out recently.
	So obviously, it ramped up massively over the past seven years.
	2018, we get 299 in the full year.
	By the time you get to 2022, we reach the peak.
	So far, which was 45,774 people come across the channel in one year.
	We're still collecting the figures for 2025, obviously it's only March, but 2018 to present, illegal crossings, the amount of people who've arrived via illegal crossings has been 101,161, I believe that is.
	And let's just take a look at some of the fiscal.
	Benefits that we get from these illegal people showing up in the country, which is that in 2022, the cost of housing asylum seekers in hotels had risen to £5.6 million per day, plus a further £1.2 million for Afghan evacuees.
	And if you scroll down here, you can also find the daily crossings for this year so far.
	You can go...
	Back through the pages, but so far over the past few days, let's see, it is the 13th of March today, so we don't have that.
	On the 10th of March, 261 people crossed.
	9th of March, 237. On the 2nd of March, 592 people crossed.
	That's what we get for having literally a week of nice weather in the UK. We get...
	People breaking into the country.
	So you can't even really enjoy the weather when it's nice here anymore because this is always going to be in the back of your mind.
	I mean, you have to understand this because when it's sunny here, it's heavenly.
	It is really lovely.
	Even Swindon feels nicer, not nice, but nicer when it's sunny.
	No, no, no, no.
	Because when it's sunny, you just see it.
	Yeah, you're right, actually.
	It's the fog and mist.
	The fog and mist is Swindon at its best.
	You're absolutely right, Stelios.
	But, of course, this is all terrible.
	This is all bad, but it's the only thing the government really wants you to be focusing on.
	It's the sort of thing that they put out statements on on their official government page like they did on the 7th of March this year, saying a Home Office spokesperson said, We want to end all dangerous small boat crossings which threaten lives and undermine our border security.
	The people smuggling gangs do not care if the vulnerable people they exploit live or die as long as they pay.
	We'll not stop at anything to dismantle their business models.
	The same kind of statement they've been making for years.
	Also, I hate the framing of this, which is that we, the people who are being taken advantage of by these international mercenaries, should feel bad for the people breaking into our country, because they're just so vulnerable.
	They're wannabe doctors and nurses, women and children, when you see, in reality, it's always fighting-age men in large numbers.
	That's always what it is.
	But the government wants to focus on that, whereas actually, terrible as all that is, the real problem, as ever, is legal migration into the country.
	So this is stuff that we've...
	There's well-trodden ground at this point, but it's worth going over.
	So in 2023...
	1.2 million people migrated into the UK and 479,000 people emigrated of it.
	A net migration figure of 782,000.
	1.2 million people into the country.
	And the latest ONS population estimates for the whole of the UK suggest that in the year ending June 2021, there were 6 million people living in the UK who had the nationality of a different country.
	This does not include dual nationals, where one nationality is British, so that's doing some heavy lifting.
	3.4 million EU nationals were also living in the UK.
	I'm not as much of a problem with the EU nationals, but...
	This is, as we always point out, mass demographic change taking place in this country that will irrevocably change the culture and the behaviour of the people who are here, because they are different people than the ones who lived back here before.
	And this is always sold to us by...
	But they're raising GDP. You get such a wide range and variety of restaurants in the country now.
	Why don't you, fat gammon Brexit boy, actually appreciate this for the benefits that it's bringing you?
	And, you know, maybe we would.
	Maybe we would if it was actually bringing benefits.
	So there is always a distinction to make between the quality of migration into the country, which is between the...
	EU migrants and non-EU migrants, that people always want to differentiate.
	Sorry, what were you just going to say, Stelis?
	No, no, I wanted to add to what you said before, that it's absolutely the case that legal migration can be problematic.
	I think what is very problematic in the UK is the policy, the spirit of the policy, which it's uncontrolled, mass, basically...
	Zero criteria, but also it has several premises that contextualize the policy, according to which they say, well, the native people aren't going to actually work in some jobs, so that's why we need endless migration.
	Which is always an excuse.
	Which is an excuse.
	Also, the idea with the GDP, that if you just have more migration, the GDP is going to rise.
	Well, it may rise.
	The problem is you have to distribute it.
	What about per capita?
	You have to distribute...
	Per capita.
	They can never get through per capita, can they?
	But anyway, this is the policy document from the CPS that we read quite a lot of last year.
	It was done in conjunction with Robert Jenrick, who is part of the Conservative, but probably the only good Tory member at the moment.
	And if you go down to this page here, which is, what is the fiscal impact of migration?
	Okay, well, GDP's going up.
	They're a net contribution to society.
	Is that true?
	Wah, wah, wah, no.
	So, all migrants, here's the net contribution for migrants and UK-born.
	So, EEA is the EU, and non-EEA and UK-born.
	Okay, so...
	Ooh.
	Ooh.
	Ooh, okay.
	There are several studies that show that...
	Non-EEA never have a positive fiscal contribution into the country.
	Yeah, there are several studies that show this.
	Yes, and in fact, they include one of them that we always refer back to, which is the Danish study in Denmark, where it's the difference between the Danish origin people...
	Other Western immigrants, over a full lifetime of average net contribution to public finances, and MENAPT, which is Middle East, North African, I think Pakistani and Turkish, never throughout their entire lifespan in the country do they actually financially contribute.
	You know what, basically, if you see a group whose members' potential deportation is presented as a human rights issue, most probably it's going to be unproductive overall.
	But you mentioned Denmark.
	If someone from Denmark is going to be deported, there are going to be many Danish people just about to invade Whitehall and the parliament.
	No, certainly.
	And there's the employment rate that we can get by country of birth.
	So at the top we've got New Zealand, Poland, all of these people.
	A lot of...
	European countries right at the top there.
	South Africa, but it doesn't disaggregate whether they are white or black South Africans.
	EU total, doing pretty alright.
	And then you start to get all the way to the bottom.
	Turkey, ooh, not very good, not very good.
	Only 60% of them are in any kind of work at all.
	North Africa, ooh, only just about over 50% of them.
	Pakistan, ooh, who's right?
	Ooh, Iraq, less than 50% of them are employed at all.
	Whether in part-time or full-time work.
	And there's another great one down here, if I continue scrolling.
	Where is it?
	And here it is, which is economic inactivity, which is the way that they like to try and hide the actual unemployment figures.
	And that's economic inactivity by country of birth.
	Menat, so that's Middle East, North African and Turkish, almost 40% of all people who fall within that cohort economically inactive.
	Nothing.
	No contribution.
	Only a net drain.
	So where's the benefit?
	It's cultural.
	It's cultural.
	The benefit is cultural.
	Harry, where's the kebab?
	I'm hungry.
	They come here and they bring peace, right?
	They don't absolutely commit way more crimes than the native population.
	Sex crimes.
	Afghans.
	22 times more likely to offend rather than Brits.
	Drug crimes.
	Albanians.
	Surprise, surprise.
	152 times more likely to commit than British people.
	Violence.
	Congolese.
	11 times more.
	And this is information from the Centre for Migration Control.
	And they do lots of great information as well, like this one.
	There were over 100,000 migrant convictions between 21 and 2023, including tens of thousands for sexual, drug, violence and theft offences.
	In total, 87 nationalities had a higher conviction rate for sexual offences than Brits.
	North Africans are convicted at 6.6 times the rate of Brits, Middle Easterners at 3.8, and Sub-Saharan Africans at 2.6 times the rate of Brits.
	of Brits.
	Nationalities with the highest conviction rates for sex crimes were awarded over 50,000 long-term visas last year.
	And up to a quarter of all sexual offence convictions were of migrants who are convicted for sexual crimes at a rate 70% higher than the British population.
	So it's not...
	It's not culture.
	It's not peace.
	They're not bringing peace.
	They're not bringing prosperity.
	So it's got to come down to the food.
	It has to come down to the food.
	Well, that's where Stephen Edgington and GB News come in with a new interesting documentary, which you should check out.
	It's currently members only, so check it out with GB News if you want, which refers to Migrate Center for Migration Control.
	information finding hundreds of skilled visas going to kebab workers skilled visa workers were sponsored by 56 kebab houses 83 businesses with halal in their name and one butcher alone sponsored 918 visas He must have a hell of a business going if he needs that many butchers to come in.
	If he needs that many skilled workers, his food must be flying off the shelves.
	Those kebabs must be premium.
	Everybody's getting them.
	And bear in mind as well, skilled worker visas can bring their dependents with them.
	So, 918 visas does not mean 918 people.
	That could mean almost 2,000 people if they bring one person with them.
	That could mean almost 3,000 people if they bring two dependents with them.
	Could be 4,000 people, all off of the back of one butcher.
	This is what they tried to do in Ireland, where they tried to change the definition of the family and turn it to a durable relationship.
	And also they try to change who gets economic benefits so they could just give indefinitely economic help to anyone they consider the friend.
	Yeah, and if there's one butcher as well, if he's got 918 visas, I mean, either he's got the world's largest butchers and just needs all of these people, or they will come into the country, maybe work there for a month or two.
	Then spread out into the rest of the country, flip from low-paying job to low-paying job, maybe become part of some separatist ethnic enclave with its own economy, where taxes are just kind of a thing that other people pay.
	So, no contribution to the country whatsoever.
	So in the article...
	I won't watch any of the documentary, of course.
	You can watch that yourselves.
	There is some extra information.
	So, GB News went to Bradford to speak with locals and migrants about their views on immigration.
	One resident, who legally migrated to Britain from Pakistan in 1994, said he did not believe working in kebab shops is skilled work, telling this broadcaster, when I came here, I didn't even know how to cook an egg, but I know everything now.
	I don't believe that it's a highly skilled job.
	I mean, there you go.
	According to the government's website, butchers and chefs are eligible professions to acquire a skilled worker visa alongside call centre supervisors.
	Right, I've worked in a call centre.
	That's not skilled work.
	That is not skilled work at all.
	Bar managers.
	We've got personnel managers and gym instructors.
	We've just got a real...
	Oh my god, we need the gym instructors.
	We've got nowhere near enough PTs in gyms across the country.
	We're dying for them.
	We're begging for them.
	Quick, bring you and your entire family into our local pure gym where you can enrich the economy.
	And you know, Harry, after a good workout, you need kebab.
	I do, I do.
	It's the protein.
	Gotta hit that protein window half an hour straight after.
	And immigrants have been given skilled worker visas sponsored by the 56 kebab houses, etc., as it was said in the original tweet.
	Data from the Freedom of Information request that the, uh...
	Let me just double-check that I'm not getting it.
	Yeah, the Center for Migration Control put in, revealed that across the country, kebab shops and Asian restaurants sponsored more than a dozen visas each.
	One kebab house in Bradford sponsored 14 visas, while another in Birmingham sponsored 12. We are being so enriched.
	So enriched by these people.
	And in January, of course, former Foreign Secretary Preeti Patel...
	Sorry, Home Secretary, Preeti Patel, defended her record on migration because she's...
	Very eager to let us know how enriched we were by all of this.
	Legal migration reached record numbers under the previous Conservative government, peaking at 1.2 million in 2023. 337,240 work visas were granted to immigrants in 2023, of which nearly 200,000 were skilled visas.
	So they all went to a kebab house near you!
	And the overwhelming majority of these visas were given to non-EU. So, let's remind ourselves, what do non-EU migrants bring to us?
	They bring lots of nice sex, crime, and poverty.
	But, but, as I have been informed by politicians speaking at the House of Lords and Parliament, you can be certain that if you're drunk at 3am, that there will always be a...
	Kebab house open near you so you can have a nice sloppy kebab while your country falls apart around you.
	Because that's what it's all about, isn't it?
	The wide variety of fantastic spicy restaurants.
	Make it end.
	There we go.
	Get a recipe book.
	Yeah, or we do have the recipe.
	We can actually make...
	Kebabs ourselves, it's not that difficult.
	It's just meat, for the most part.
	Anyway, so, some of the rumble rants.
	Sigilstone17, Stelios, $20 if you yell, this is Sparta, and kick Harry over the desk.
	I don't want to be kicked over the desk.
	The point is, it won't be able to be shown.
	Oh yeah, we don't want to show violence on the podcast, guys.
	Come on.
	Sigilstone again.
	They never bring up that GDP goes up because it includes government spending, so more spent on migrant means lines go up.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That's something that I always try and point out and why I don't think GDP is a good indicator of prosperity, because you could just have a government that prints infinite money and spends infinite money and you've got infinite line go up.
	JM underscore Denton.
	The sex crime likelihood numbers of foreigners should be corrected for the number of rape gangs that weren't convicted.
	That too.
	Anyway, let's go on to the video comments.
	You beautiful bastards finally did it.
	Yes, it finally got there!
	Yes!
	Islander 2 finally got there.
	Now, by Islander 3!
	Next video comment, please.
	By nature, secularism is designed to attack Christianity.
	By trying to create a perfect melting pot of other religions, secularism ultimately leaves itself vulnerable to being destroyed by, for example, Mohammedanism.
	It's destroyed one dystopia, but has ultimately created another.
	Okay, so I like this point, but I think, Sam, first of all, thank you for your support and I think essentially if people want to actually defend secularism and are secularists, they want the separation of church and state, and they'd be a bit more alarmed by some people who don't understand the difference.
	Let's go for the next.
	Stelios, I want you to remember the best souvlaki you've ever had.
	Really summon it back from the depths of your memory.
	Do you remember the way it looked, smelled, tasted, the temperature and the way it sat on your plate?
	Hold that in your mind right now.
	I was working in Tame on Saturday the 8th of March and I got souvlaki from a stand as breakfast.
	The vendors were from Manchester and this is what I was served.
	I have never felt more offended on behalf of a culture I don't belong to.
	The tzatziki was watery and weak, the meat was like flakes and it wasn't served properly at all.
	I have half a mind to revive William the Conqueror and re-Harry the North for this slight.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
	Don't hold Manchester responsible for one bad souvlaki, okay?
	This is treason.
	If Greeks don't make souvlaki, it's treason.
	But also a lot of people who are claiming to sell souvlaki and put Greek flags are not Greek.
	But my favorite souvlaki is a souvlaki I have done.
	I think so.
	It's one of my favorite ones.
	I make it from scratch.
	You should be proud of yourself.
	Yeah, I am.
	Good.
	Oh, that's going to get clipped and they're going to think we hate each other now.
	We've got two more rumble rants coming from Sigilstone again.
	So he said, A government that prints infinite milk, that's a typo for money, infinite money and claims the economy is going well.
	How ridiculous could you imagine?
	Cries an American.
	He then responded again and corrected himself and said, Money, not milk, goddamn autocorrect.
	The bane of us all.
	Go through some of the written comments from the website now then.
	Ben Shapiro, overdosing on fentanyl, says the chat demands the final Harry slash Stelios showdown.
	Stand up for yourself, Harry.
	Don't let Stelios keep bullying you.
	Listen, I'm afraid.
	I've been gaslit my entire life, and now Stelios is just taking advantage of my deep-set insecurities.
	There's very, very little that I can do about it.
	Where do you think this has come from?
	It came from Carl randomly saying that...
	No, no, no.
	Carl did this.
	But for a long time now, people are saying that we have an existential rivalry.
	I don't know.
	I think it's because...
	I mean, in some cases, we have disagreed on some issues.
	That doesn't mean we're existential.
	We've had some pretty fierce disagreements on things in the past, but good friends can have disagreements.
	And let's stop being gay now.
	Charles Francis Montgomery Montmercy Gallard Oliver says, Have you noticed how much Stelios looks like Henry Cavill?
	Have they ever been seen together, or is something going on?
	No.
	Any answer to that, Stelios?
	Anything more than a one-word answer?
	The people demand answers.
	Alright, on to the Derek Chauvin comments.
	No comment.
	Oh, you sneaky bastard.
	Jan Havie says, Again, I don't think it's good to give in to the demands of people who are trying to exist outside of the law and influence Trials unfairly.
	And furthermore, again, I don't know if you've seen the actual body cam footage, but if you watch the body cam footage, I think it would be very, very difficult to put down a case of police brutality or overuse of force.
	Again, in situations where the police are dealing with somebody who is very clearly high on methamphetamine and fentanyl, could be a danger to himself and others, and is screaming, resisting arrest, making a scene, I think it does warrant a certain use of force that might look above and beyond to normal people, but we're not police officers.
	We've not been in that situation.
	Bear in mind as well, George Floyd was a big guy.
	Wasn't he 6'5"?
	He was massive, and he was obviously quite a muscly, strong person as well.
	So in a situation like that, you do what you have to to get him down and get him to cooperate, as was the same situation with Rodney King, which was also misrepresented by the media at the time.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle.
	I give it another ten years before the narrative of George Floyd gets completely flipped and accepted by the mainstream.
	I don't know.
	Again, Rodney King still hasn't been accepted in that same way by the mainstream.
	Perhaps more conservative commentators have been able to accept Rodney King.
	But the mainstream would still tell you that Rodney King was the unfair victim of police brutality.
	So in 10 years, I expect them to still, unless we get Donald Trump world and he gets his way on everything, I expect them to still be pushing the same line.
	Arizona Desert Rat.
	I honestly think it's best that Chauvin's trial be declared a mistrial.
	At this point, his guilty verdict is seen as a victory for BLM. The whole trial was a farce.
	Presidential pardon would stall any pursuit for a mistrial.
	If that's the best way for it to go about...
	Then that's the best way for it to come about.
	Again, I'm not entirely familiar with the American process.
	So any clarification there from Americans in the audience is appreciated.
	George Happ.
	Chauvin shouldn't have been convicted in the first place as his case was a test for the principles of many so-called conservatives who failed, including Shapiro.
	He knows that Trump cannot legally pardon Chauvin but is using it to gather emails and spam you with ads.
	Oh, that might be...
	That might be what he's doing.
	Oh, George, your cynicism is...
	Oh, that's probably true.
	Yeah, that's some pretty despicable...
	Despicable lying on her part.
	Good God.
	Grant Gibson.
	Harry, there's no way he's getting out.
	The governor would have to pardon him on the state charges and that's simply not happening.
	Be that as it may, I still don't think we should forget the cause of Derek Chauvin and should push for his release whenever we can, because he is an innocent man being held in illegitimate charges.
	And Emos, there are many adjectives I would use for Ben Shapiro, but stupid is not one of them.
	He knows that it's not possible for the president to pardon anyone on a state crime.
	Derek Chauvin was convicted in a state court, so Donald can do nothing.
	So why is Ben doing this?
	Well, given the high-profile exit of members of his staff, I think numbers are down and he's just shilling for addresses to increase.
	Everybody's, damn it.
	No.
	I'm not a cynical enough person to have considered this in the first place.
	But you're all probably right, actually.
	Colin P., my only question regarding the Chauvin pardon is that accepting one would be an admission of guilt.
	Should they not be going for an overturning of the verdict?
	Yeah, I think a mistrial or overturning of the verdict would make more sense.
	NorthFC Zuma makes no sense that one man could be convicted of both murder and manslaughter against a single person.
	Good point.
	Would you like to move on to yours?
	I just wanted to say that...
	Trump may not be able to pardon him, but he can definitely exercise pressure for people to open the case and re-examine it.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Also, we got a Rumble rant in for $10 from RickTWGP.
	Thank you very much, saying, would that be a kebab made from a raped young girl?
	Yes, I do remember that that happened.
	I didn't want to mention it on the segment because it's just depressing.
	It's horrible, even though it's...
	Important to remember that stuff's happened.
	Sigilstone again as well for another $2.
	From the World War II ice cream ships to cheese caves to the Got Milk campaign.
	Come to think of it, the U.S. government has been printing infinite milk too.
	Wild stuff.
	Look into it.
	I mean, infinite milk.
	That sounds like a great day for me.
	Not for money.
	Sorry.
	No, no, no.
	He's just saying infinite milk.
	Which sounds like heaven to me.
	I love milk.
	Right.
	So, Swamp Dweller.
	I love this.
	Yeah.
	Is this from Florida?
	Tell us.
	A foreign activist calls for the death of a foreign people over a foreign conflict in a foreign land.
	What does this have to do with America and why were they here to begin with?
	I completely agree with that sentiment.
	Someone online.
	Oh, he pledged himself to Hamas.
	That makes it easy.
	Send him to them.
	Let him prove his fealty.
	Sophie Liv.
	Hot take.
	Wait, it's Sophie, so I need to be extra cautious.
	Do you?
	Oh, okay.
	Hot take.
	If you're an immigrant, I don't care if you manage to get citizenship, and you support a terror group that is an enemy of the nation, you get deported and banned from re-entering the country.
	Simple as.
	Oh, yeah.
	On this, what was...
	I know you mentioned that Candace Owens was defending him.
	What was her argument?
	That...
	That it's what the Zionists want?
	Was it that?
	Deporting Muslims is playing into the hands of the Jews, so therefore you've got to take as many Muslims as possible.
	I didn't have a lot of time to say exactly that.
	That was the...
	We need to have the Christian-Muslim alliance against the Jews.
	No, no, we don't actually.
	No, I don't want that.
	Basically, I think now there are some commentators in right-wing circles who will platform anyone who just says all kinds of nonsense just because they have a following.
	Like Tate, for instance.
	Just for notoriety.
	Because we're in a different era now.
	It's not just you say, okay, boys and girls go to different bathrooms.
	You need research now.
	I mean, what do you mean that Tate isn't saving the West by telling Britain that it needs to turn Islamic?
	How are we going to save ourselves from the globalists if we don't become Muslims?
	And E. Moss, Mahmoud Khalil's green card was not revoked for free speech.
	His green card was revoked as he was working with known terrorists and advocating overthrowing the American government.
	Since they moved him to Louisiana, that New York judge does not have jurisdiction.
	So I hope he enjoys Syria.
	Someone online.
	Inciting a riot is illegal.
	Send a jihadi home.
	YMT. The level to which the Americans will kowtow to greatest ally makes this deportation somewhat pathetic, despite how the individual in question deserves it.
	Charles Francis Montgomery Gaylord.
	Gaylord.
	That looks like Gaylord to me.
	Oliver, I think if you want to become involved with the politics of the country, you should be a citizen.
	Hector Rex, U.S. Law S1227 and S1182 say that being a representative of a political, social, or other group that endorses or espouses terrorist activities is ground to be removed.
	He's a resident, not a citizen, and can have his green card revoked at any time.
	Well, that makes it pretty simple, doesn't it?
	Yep.
	You know the left is constantly anti-constitutional on a daily basis.
	Oh yeah, they hate it.
	They hate it because it was written by a bunch of white slavers.
	They just have a very fragmentary reading of it.
	Well, it's the same as when you go back to the 1960s and everybody goes, what happened to the left?
	They used to be about free speech.
	Yet, when they were the underdogs fighting the system and trying to overturn it with a cultural revolution, the second that they're in charge, they don't want you to have free speech, because it was them whining about free speech and us listening that got us here in the first place.
	So they know how this thing works.
	Michael Drabelbees, "Green card can be revoked at any time.
	He's not a citizen and can be thrown out based on whatever line he crosses.
	Terrorist lovers should have student visas and green cards revoked and permanently banned from the country.
	I've been dealing with the Immigration and Naturalization Service for over 30 years.
	My wife has a green card.
	Well, I guess you would know in that case.
	So, I mean, that's all good information to know.
	Thank you.
	Well, obviously you just don't do any forearm training with him then.
	Or grip strength was needed for rows and pull-ups and bench press.
	I guess you just do cardio with that guy.
	If you're strong enough to hold on.
	Get on that treadmill.
	Get on that treadmill, Harry.
	Yeah, do it, fatty.
	Lose the calories.
	Stop eating.
	I'm doing really well.
	I'm doing really well, actually.
	My body fat back down to 20%.
	By the summer, it's going to be at least 15%.
	My amps are coming back strong.
	It's going to be great.
	A somewhere person.
	I'll go back to the Rowan Atkinson line.
	Are you alright there?
	Are you alright there?
	I just found it a weird comment to make.
	No, no, I'm going to look great.
	I'm going to look fantastic.
	A somewhere person.
	I'll go back to the Rowan Atkinson line.
	Now we have the recipes.
	I'll also come out and say it.
	Donner kebabs are awful.
	There's a reason British people only eat them when drunk.
	Gyros, Kofta, There you go.
	Angela S. That was obviously in reference to your segment.
	Arizona desert rat.
	How is making kebabs a skilled job?
	Do they use a special grill or smoker?
	Something like that?
	It isn't.
	No, but if you want to go out here like I go with Souvlaki, you need some skill.
	Well, you know, obviously, you've got the skills.
	That's why we let you in the country in the first place.
	It wasn't the universe.
	It was there, like, you've seen this guy's cooking.
	This is pretty great.
	Okay, so that's why we let you in.
	All of these people with their kebabs?
	No.
	No.
	And Jimbo, this last one I'll read, Jimbo says, It's incredible that our leaders intend to replace our state religion with Islam and want to pass laws to silence any opposition to the facilitated replacement.
	Really feels like we're being run by foreign spies or something, I know, right?
	And RickTWGP also says, Have another one for reading it out, mate.
	Gives a thumbs up.
	Thanks for the extra $10.
	And with that, that's all the time that we've got for today.
	Thank you very much for joining us on this podcast.
	We'll be back again tomorrow, and I believe we have a special guest, Andrew Bridgen, appearing, which should be very exciting.
	And for all our subscribers, Calvin's Common Sense Crusade on at 3 o'clock, so stick around for that.
	Thank you very much.
	This has been Brother Harry.
	And this has been Brother Stelius.
