	Who are the men that pick for scraps amongst the ruins of the end of history?
	You should know because you encounter them every day.
	Between the towering buildings of a fallen empire, we find the Felahin, the historyless men, who know nothing of the turning of the cosmic wheel and find themselves outside of civilization itself.
	Cut loose from the great chain of being, they represent the loan into which our dying culture will return.
	That is, unless we choose to take up the burden once again.
	This Felahin condition is the subject we explore in issue 4 of Islander magazine.
	On sale while stocks last and available worldwide at shop.loadseaters.com.
	Hello, everyone.
	Welcome to the podcast of the Load Seaters.
	I'm your host Telios, and I'm joined today by Brother Luca and Brother Nick.
	For the greater good, and we are going to discuss a mob attacking big balls, Aunt Middleton being a Chad, and an idiot being abroad.
	Right, and this is episode 1226.
	Right.
	So we're going to start by talking about an absolute Chad.
	Very few people can actually say that they have been tested to the degree that Edward Coristine has been tested and he passed that test.
	Lots of people talk, they say how tough they are and how we should all act courageous in a courageous manner in difficult circumstances, but very few actually do it.
	Most are just talking about it.
	And we are going to talk to you about what happened to Edward and how he reacted.
	And Trump and Musk were talking about the issue.
	But before we begin, Luca has a message for us.
	Oh, hear ye, hear ye, Islander 4 is upon us, if that's how messages are supposed to be delivered.
	We have Islander issue 4, ladies and gentlemen.
	I have actually, this time as well, started to be able to read through the essays myself, and I can assure you that they are just as high a quality as those in the previous issues.
	Some terrific essays in there by Carl, Morgoth, Rory.
	I've written a Lord of the Rings one, and I will continue to remind you all of the facts because I'm very, very happy with it.
	So, yeah, for $14.99, you can get it from our website along with all of the merch that comes with it.
	And I really hope that you enjoy the magazine.
	And you've even got Ed Dutton in there.
	Dutton, the miscreant.
	Yes.
	Right.
	So, ex-Doge staffer, nicknamed Big Bulls, left-blooded after a savage DC carjacking attempt by 10 juveniles.
	So I'm going to tell you, roughly speaking, what happened last Sunday at around 3 a.m.
	There was a carjacking attempt by a juvenile of around 10, 12 teenagers, basically thugs.
	And they tried to steal a car.
	A woman was in it.
	And luckily for her, Edward Coristine was there, also known as Big Balls.
	And he took his girlfriend out of harm's way.
	And he literally saved also the girl.
	He was beaten very much by them.
	He has a broken nose and a concussion.
	I wish him a speedy recovery.
	Luckily, police officers were there and they helped him.
	And they arrested two people.
	And you see here, no, let's let's we're not gonna show some pictures of him.
	They're all over the internet, but we're not gonna show them.
	But he saved them.
	He saved the girl.
	And that's very admirable.
	It is.
	It's a nominative determinism in action, big balls.
	And he actually did have them.
	Exactly.
	And you know that in marketing, they say that one of the worst things is over-promising, under delivering.
	So in a sense, you could say this is over-promising, but it's not on the table.
	And over-delivery.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right.
	Very brave, especially after the Daniel Penny thing.
	And you can get in so much trouble now for doing the right thing.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	So let us see here the Wikipedia article about him.
	Just very briefly, he's 19 years old and he is an American college student and programmer formerly appointed to the Doge.
	And he was made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the highest pay grade GS15 in the General Services Administration at the end of May 2025.
	Coristin resigned weeks later in June before taking a job at the Social Security Administration.
	He is very young and he has taken some already.
	It seems like this is a good start for your career.
	Remarkably well driven, clearly.
	Clearly.
	And character-wise, it seems like he totally deserves it.
	And also, also, if we judge according to if we judge according to outcome, because I don't think Elon would just give him a job like that if it wasn't worth it.
	Oh, no, no, I don't think so either.
	I wonder if Elon saw a bit of himself in him, because there's a clip maybe later where he talks about risk and having a high risk tolerance, big balls.
	And so does Elon Musk.
	If you read his biography, people, his friends even said he might be addicted to risk.
	Musk's like, oh, I'm going to learn to fly a plane now.
	You know what I mean?
	He just, he loves risk.
	So I feel like maybe Big Balls is the new Musk in some ways.
	Could be.
	So Elon says a few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC.
	Elon does the same thing with other outlets.
	He talks about men.
	Those team members saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her.
	And he says it's time to federalize DC.
	And here is also Trump who is saying crime in DC is totally out of control.
	Local youths and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, magging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will almost be immediately released.
	And he's talking about how the city needs to be federalized.
	And there's another clip of him.
	The machine, this isn't working, where he says here basically that they need to straighten their act out.
	And unless they do in D.C., he is going to federalize Washington, D.C. Right, so there's a lot of questioning with respect to what does federalization mean.
	And from what I saw, Washington, D.C. is not a state.
	It's a city.
	And it's not governed as a state.
	And in the drafting of the Constitution in 1789, it was considered that there should be a federal district that didn't belong to a state, and that was Washington, D.C. And what happens, generally speaking, is that cities are parts of counties, counties are parts of states.
	So when cities can't, let's say, function in some respects, they get help from the states they are a part of.
	Right now, because they don't have a state, they're not a state.
	Question is, who are they going to ask for help?
	And as we're going to say, they have a long tradition of leftist infiltration in their institutions.
	Their mayors, for many decades, are leftists, and they don't want to be helped.
	But it seems like they're very happy with chaos.
	So someone like Trump and someone who would be more of a Republican persuasion who'd say something needs to be done about it would say most probably that this is a problem that needs to be solved.
	That's why Trump says that unless they straighten their act out, DC should be federalized.
	And he says personally here that Big Balls is a hero and he is planning on calling him.
	Yeah, I noticed he avoided saying his name, but he says we're going to call the person.
	And I was thinking, is Trump going to say Big Ball?
	They call him Big Balls, folks, but he didn't go there.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	And we have here a really funny post by this parody account saying, when I federalize Washington, D.C., the executive order shall be called the Big Balls Act.
	It's a fun one.
	So what I wanted to show you here is that in the DC, there is at least half a century of Democratic mayors.
	So you see here from 1975 to present, we have seven mayors.
	Democratic, Democratic, Democratic, Democratic, Democratic, Democratic, Democratic, Democratic.
	You also see here Marion Berry, who was mayor four times.
	And I've been told by Neo-Unrealists that he was, there's a very classic clip of him.
	He was smoking crack with a prostitute.
	And he got caught doing so.
	So he's very much just setting the trend for Washington going forward.
	And he started accusing her all the time.
	Oh, right.
	Only she set him up.
	He had no responsibility for what he did.
	He had no choice.
	He had no choice.
	He was just a victim of structures.
	She had all the agency.
	I love that.
	You just see him there with a crackback.
	How dare you?
	And he just points at her.
	And it's like, it's like David Brent.
	You made me do it.
	You remember when he was putting him in?
	Structures made me do that.
	Isn't that what critical theory is supposed to be about?
	Understanding the structures that create problems for the left's allies?
	Yeah.
	Because they're never responsible for wrongdoing.
	No.
	They're always responsible for doing something well.
	Society made them do it.
	Yeah, but everyone else who isn't an ally of the left is very much responsible for wrongdoing.
	Right.
	And even anyone like Trump says something and other people riot, he's responsible for that.
	You're responsible for other people's actions.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But on the left, you're not responsible for your own actions.
	It's like for the left, everyone, unless you're a leftist, you need to atone to yourself for original sin.
	That's how it goes.
	You're constantly responsible for wrongdoing unless you're a leftist.
	If you're a leftist, you can't engage in wrongdoing.
	You're a poor victim of structures.
	And this is a kind of mentality that all these mayors have because all the leftists have, especially with a new left from the 60s onwards, this is how they infiltrated institutions and this is how they govern and how they adjudicate.
	And we have here Justice Janine Pirow, U.S. attorney in D.C. She's affiliated to Trump and she was now, she became a U.S. attorney now.
	And she says essentially that youth violence is on the rise across the country and they have to stop coddling leftists.
	Says the age of responsibility needs to lower to 14.
	Now, what I want to say about this is that it's not just, that's just a start, lowering the age of responsibility, because what she says is that there are lots of criminals who are adults who take young children and young teenagers and essentially make them do it.
	So this is one thing, but also you need to have people within the system because if you lower the age of responsibility to 14 and you bring this case into a court and the court adjudicates according to woke principles, even if you drop it to 10, the result's going to be the same.
	They're going to be let out.
	And so let us listen to what she says here to Laura Ingram.
	Tell us what we can expect from your time as U.S. attorney.
	First of all, there was another homicide.
	So we're now at 99 homicides so far this year.
	There's no question that Washington, D.C. has an incredible amount, a credible number of homicides.
	You know, and you can say that violence and crime is down, but the truth is violence is more lethal than it's ever been.
	And when we say it's down, down from what?
	Right, real high.
	Okay, we've got carjackings that are up 111%.
	The problem in D.C., and President Trump, in his effort to make D.C. safe and beautiful, said to me, I want you to enforce the law to make sure that there's accountability.
	And I spoke to the president yesterday at length about what was going on here.
	I said, if you're 14, 15, 16, or 17 years old, you get coddled as you do in most American Democrat cities.
	So I can't charge these people.
	This young kid who worked at the White House was beaten to a pulp.
	He's got a broken nose.
	He's got a severe concussion.
	He's battered all over his head, okay, by a gang of punks.
	10 of them, I believe.
	Two have been arrested, two 15-year-olds.
	None of them come to my office, Laura, because they're not considered criminals.
	They go to family court where the effort is rehabilitation.
	The D.C. council, and the president is right.
	They've got to stop their cobbling.
	Number one, we've got to lower the age of responsibility to 14.
	I'm tired of having these kids commit crimes and they're crews, not gangs in D.C. We've got an intern.
	You said it in your open.
	He's an intern from college.
	He gets shot going out for McDonald's at 10.30 at night.
	This kid is trying to help his girlfriend or his friend to a car.
	He gets assaulted and but for a cop going by, they would have, had they gotten him on the ground, they would have stopped him and finished him.
	He was so she's talking about another incident that was very tragic and it happened about a month ago.
	Congressional intern killed in Washington, D.C. shooting.
	Eric Turpinian Jochim was an intern for Kansas Republican Ron Estes and it says here a 21-year-old congressional intern was shot Monday night after getting caught in targeted gunfire in northwest Washington DC police said police and congressional officials identified the victim as Eric Turpinian Joachim of Grand View Massachusetts who died Tuesday after being shot near the intersection of 7th and M Street.
	Investigators have recovered the suspect vehicle and stated that while the shooting was targeted, Tarapinion Jochim was not among the intended victims.
	So the way it sounds, DC doesn't sound like a very safe place.
	No, well, I'm gathering that.
	I mean it's all it's all cities.
	It's good to know it's not just us, it's America as well.
	It's like all Democrat-run cities particularly, right?
	Like San Francisco and all these places, just absolutely Portland and leapholes.
	No, absolutely terrible.
	Yes, and I think that it's particularly bad when we have this coddling mentality that has been communicated by the left because essentially they are saying our protected people, our people are essentially never liable for wrongdoing.
	And I think that people need to wake up to this and understand that the left is basically brainwashing generations of young people into thinking that so long as they do something in the name of social justice, they can do no wrong.
	Yeah, it's almost beyond coddling, isn't it?
	Into the victim is the criminal is the victim of society, as you sort of said before, but the vict the leftists think of society itself as the oppressor, you know, in these kind of Rousseauan terms.
	Whereas you're stopping the people just doing what they would do.
	They're held down by some force.
	So the criminal is the victim.
	Well, and also just, you know, from a cultural perspective, just the glamorization of crime as well itself.
	And obviously the lack of a deterrent.
	You know, if they know that, well, they're not going to blame me personally for what I do.
	They're going to blame the structures.
	They're going to give me a little slap on the wrist and away I'll be.
	And this is what the left is all about.
	Remember the defund the police call for the BLM.
	And just look at how AOC and Zora and Mamdani are talking.
	It's as if all crime is to be blamed to the presence of the police.
	As if if you defund the police, all crime is going to go away.
	The only thing that sometimes stops it is when one of these mayors gets attacked themselves.
	Remember that woman in Seattle being attacked?
	I can't remember what role she was, but she was someone who'd said defund the police.
	I think it was Seattle.
	It could have been somewhere else.
	A woman said defund the police.
	Then she got attacked.
	She was a Democrat.
	She went, hang on, we need more police.
	Yeah, let's fund it again.
	Not be hasty here.
	When I said defund, I meant fund.
	Yes, exactly.
	Yeah, I was trolling.
	Right.
	So I think that it's really important to praise people who have acted courageously.
	And congratulations, Edward.
	And hope a speedy recovery for you.
	Right.
	Let's go to the comments.
	And also, please, Samson, this doesn't work.
	So Nick may want...
	Oh, I'm going to pull it out.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, you've got to pull it out and put it back in.
	But it's the classic turn off and on.
	Put it back in.
	Yeah, yeah, it doesn't work.
	Right, let's talk to the comments.
	The engaged few for living up to his name, his reward will be the title of nerdiest warrior in Valhalla.
	So where did the big balls?
	Because I didn't know this guy.
	Where does the name actually come from?
	Actually, it has a nice story.
	He was saying that he just dislikes people who take themselves very seriously.
	On LinkedIn specifically.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Take himself big balls on LinkedIn.
	Yeah.
	He said people take themselves too seriously and they're too risk averse.
	So in this one gesture, he sort of casts both of those aside.
	Well, his actions reflect his name as well, as you say.
	And here is Wynn Pill Seeker.
	Democrats and Democratic are two different things.
	Absolutely.
	Democrats hate democracy and the democratic process.
	All those mayors were Democrats, not Democratic.
	Their name is a psyop and a misconception.
	I love Stelius.
	I love you too as well.
	Thank you very much.
	Now, just one thing.
	I really like how Felahin sounds like a protein creatine Felahinio.
	Count your macros.
	Get some Felahin and buy Island of Four.
	Right.
	That's good.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Mine's right.
	Let's see.
	Okay.
	It's not working.
	Well, as long as your eyes are working, mine's working.
	I'm fine with you.
	I've got a special one.
	We're okay.
	Okay.
	Yeah, mine works.
	You've got to know the text, Telios.
	You've got to be quite gifted.
	So, do you want to do my bit?
	You've not been working there as long as Nick.
	Yeah, it's true.
	I'm from the old office, you know.
	Things are different.
	Should you do my bit?
	Yeah.
	After I plug, of course, Islander and the great work the lads are doing, Rory and the gang.
	I was surprised to see my friend Ed Dutton in here.
	So there you go.
	Loads of people in there.
	Maybe one day I'll write a piece.
	And you wrote one on Lord of the Rings.
	I did, yeah.
	Big talking guy.
	Huge, big, bigly.
	Maybe you can do one of my talk, a talking stream with me, which I've been planning on doing.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do streams now.
	I would never plug my own channel while I'm here, but I do streams on my own.
	But subscribe to Nick's channel on my YouTube.
	All right.
	Awesome.
	So that's Islander.
	Go and check it out.
	What's the Islander link?
	Shop thingy.
	Right there on the shop.govC.com.
	While stocks last.
	Okay, and now we'll do my section, which is called, well, I'm calling it Ant Middleton is the leader we need, but you can insert your own title.
	And I was going to kind of play that video as a, but it's not going to play.
	It doesn't matter.
	It can play.
	It doesn't matter.
	But that was just going to be in the background while we talk.
	But with the sound off, I thought it just so we can see the man himself in all his glory.
	So if anyone who doesn't know, somehow doesn't know about the legend Ant Middleton.
	He is an elite special forces guy.
	So the SAS is known as the best of the best in the entire world.
	It's the best military special force in the world.
	And he was part of the SBS, which is the boat version, special boat service.
	Some say it's even harder because you're constantly in the water, but it's certainly equal with the SAS.
	So this guy's the real deal.
	He was a sniper in the SBS and he achieved the Holy Trinity of the UK Elite Forces, which is serving in the Royal Marines, the 9 Parachute Squadron, and the SBS and Special Forces.
	So he's a serious dude.
	I mean, if you read his book, First Man In, he was the guy that would come into the room, kick the door down, and just deal with whatever's in there, which is usually blokes that need to be shot.
	So this is a serious dude.
	I mean, something that very few people in Parliament could claim to have done.
	Right.
	It's like, how many people have you killed?
	I mean, so I just give that as a context.
	One, to see his pedigree, but also when Ant says stuff, he's not messing about.
	And he also became topical because he was running.
	Here he is doing a speech for Reform UK, which is back in September 24.
	But things have changed a little since then.
	And we saw a tweet saying, this was just yesterday, it's understood Reform UK have replaced Ant Middleton as their London mayoral candidate with Layla Cunningham.
	And she's this Muslim woman that Reform have been sort of parading around.
	Go, look, she's stylish and cool and she's against Islamophobia laws, but she's a Muslim.
	By the way, did you know we're not racist?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
	How could we be racist?
	She's a Muslim.
	Yeah, there's loads of that going on.
	And people are saying, well, hang on, you've replaced Ant with her.
	This is a disaster.
	Now, of course, this is actually not correct, really.
	And it's debunked here.
	And he says Ant Milton has never been Reform's mayoral candidate for London.
	He was never selected or designated as such ever.
	Our candidate in 2024 was Howard Cox.
	Ant has simply expressed interest in the role for 2028, blah-di-blah.
	And it goes on and says he's not being replaced because he's not the candidate.
	It even says Layla's not the candidate yet either, though I think she'd be a great candidate.
	Anyway, so he wanted to do it, but it was in the speech he says he's talking to Reform about being a special advisor on security, which is his expert topic.
	Anyway, you'll see soon why he could never be the reform mayor.
	Sorry, just one thing, if I may, as well, with that, in terms of like, oh, should it be Ant, should it be Leila for mayor, reform candidate?
	Doesn't matter because they're not going to win.
	Right?
	Neither of them are going to win.
	You can't be Sadiq Khan.
	Right.
	So you're right.
	Sadi Khan was mayor forever.
	Yeah.
	Forever.
	You're not going to.
	You're not going to straighten out London and law and order through taking the mayoralty.
	Sean Bailey did better than anyone thought.
	It suggested that if people really voted, you could get rid of Khan, but he still didn't win.
	And even with the unpopularity of Khan, not even amongst people I call who obviously hate him with a passion, but just like average Londoners who hated him because of all the Ulez stuff.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, because when I worked in London, I didn't go a day without some Londoner just complaining about Ulez.
	And that wasn't enough at all.
	You know, so even things in London can get tangibly worse year after year.
	And it doesn't really affect his consolidation on power at all.
	You know who else hates Sadiq Khan?
	Muslim taxi drivers.
	You speak to a taxi driver, they're like, no, we hate Khan.
	He doesn't do anything.
	I'm like, who does like this guy?
	That's his main demographic.
	Who likes this guy?
	So yeah, no one knows who likes him, but like you say, he's impossible to get rid of.
	Anyway, but he wasn't.
	Ant was never going to stand.
	So back in June, Charlie Sampson said, I'm being told by sources in Reform UK that Ant Middleton's not being considered for mayor.
	And then Ant replies, Incorrect, Charlie, we are still very much aligned.
	Oh, he said, he's not aligned with Farage and they've drifted away.
	And Ant says, no, that's not true.
	We haven't drifted away.
	However, I've always voiced an option to run independently, which may have been the cause of certain rumours.
	I hope that's cleared things up a bit.
	So Ant's saying I was never necessarily going to be the candidate.
	Just to get the facts.
	We like to get the facts.
	We'll let BBC verify here.
	Oh, yeah, I know what this is.
	For a second, I looked at it.
	I go, well, if I have the mouse, can I scroll?
	Let's see if I can scroll.
	And we're having some slight tech issues there, but let me see.
	So I just wanted to bring up this, just to say that people are talking about whether Leila will actually be the candidate.
	Well, it does say here that to quote Tim Shipman and the spectator, senior figures in the party believe that Cunningham would be a formidable candidate for mayor of London in 2028.
	A moderate Muslim mother who can communicate very effectively and talk sense.
	One says she could win.
	So that's somewhere in the South.
	There you go.
	So anyway, that was just to say that she'll probably be the candidate.
	And we all know that's definitely what they're planning.
	But anyway, let's go on and see, though, why Ant maybe wouldn't be the obvious choice for a centre-left, or I say far-left party-like reform.
	You'll see from some of his policies.
	And some of his policies, by the way, go beyond the remit of mayor.
	They're more like just general policies of if Ant was like maybe.
	If he was king.
	Maybe king, yeah.
	And let's see some of his policies.
	So I'm so sorry, Stellios.
	I don't know your exact background, but first, second, and third generation immigrants should not hold top-tier government positions.
	Our great nation, our culture, and our great people are not naturally at the forefront of their hearts and minds.
	It's just not in their nature or DNA.
	Top the DNA.
	Well, to be fair to you, I don't think you were pining after a cabinet position, were you?
	Getting elected is not my style.
	He said to me he wanted to be top tier.
	He was heartbroken when he saw that.
	He was like, oh, Ant won't let me when he's mayor.
	So patriotism cannot be taught or bought and needs to be run through the veins of those at the very top to ensure our country and our people's needs and demands are not only understood but prioritized.
	You get the idea.
	He then attacks Sadiq Khan and says we're a Christian country.
	That's a pretty bold policy to just announce.
	I looked at his tweet.
	I'm like, this makes Lotus Eaters look like GB News.
	This is like out there stuff.
	It is, it is.
	But also what's remarkably impressive about it is the fact that he does go back as many generations as that.
	Because you kind of have this thing now where a lot of people will say, oh, well, we need to reverse the Boris wave, right?
	Because that was ridiculous and obviously they can't be allowed to stay.
	It's like, okay, but also the false premises of all of the migration, mass immigration on the Blair is also ridiculous.
	And, you know, so really it just comes back to as far as, well, if the British public for generations and generations never consented to all these generations of immigrants who have come here, then how far back do you want to go?
	And so Ant is a bit of a trailblazer.
	He's a thorough bloke.
	If we know one thing about him, he's thorough.
	You've got to be thorough in the military, Luca.
	He's got three generations.
	Some people didn't like this, including, since you mentioned the Tories, a Conservative politician, Ben Obese Jetty, who said, have you got a history with this guy?
	No, it's the way you look.
	It's funny because he's called obese.
	Oh, yeah, it's hilarious.
	Yeah, I mean, it's ridiculous.
	I've pointed out Ben Kenobi.
	You have Ben Obese.
	It's tough, isn't it?
	But anyway, I've pointed out you could really not get fat with that name.
	You couldn't even get slightly fat.
	Do you know what I mean?
	He's just going to be called.
	He's going to be the thinnest guy you've ever seen his whole life.
	That's the one advantage.
	I've pointed out Ant Middleton's unsuitability and ineligibility to be the mayor of London on a number of occasions, given he's already been to prison for assaulting a police officer.
	But this level of overt racism shows who he really is once he lets the mask slip.
	Ant did have a little bit of an issue when he got out of the military of sparking blokes out in his hometown.
	You get out of the military, your job has been to kill people for the queen and country, now king.
	And then you get home and you go, oh, I'm just knocking around Essex or Portsmouth or whatever.
	And you're like, what am I going to do?
	Punch a load of people.
	So he had a bad time.
	But if you read his book, his court case was treated quite unfairly and things for telling the truth.
	But anyway, he had a bit of an issue.
	That's what he's referring to there.
	But he calls him racist.
	And Ant's not having any of it.
	Here we go with the race card.
	This card is only ever used now when they can't defend an argument because it's true or makes complete sense.
	It used to work better.
	Not so much now, buddy.
	Let me tear that card up and throw it back in your face.
	I just like this rejection, the complete rejection of the race card, which is what we've got to do these days.
	All obvious to Lotus Eaters people.
	But anyway, this is his next policy I thought we'd get on to.
	If I were PM, so he's gone past mayor now into just PM.
	I'd halt all Pakistani visas for 12 months as the crime is so heinous and deport this individual.
	He's talking about the person that sexually assaulted an eight-year-old, which is horrific.
	I don't know which words we could say on here, but we've had so many of these recently.
	Absolutely horrific.
	So no airport in Mirpur in Pakistan.
	Probably not.
	He's probably going to reduce spending on the Mirpur airport, maybe halt that project.
	And he's saying, hold all Pakistani visas for 12 months.
	I think that's quite reasonable.
	Yeah, I don't know what Obese is complaining about here.
	This is perfectly natural.
	No, no, exactly.
	Zero tolerance he wants.
	Absolutely.
	Why not?
	So that's one of his policies that he does as PM.
	I think he's just going to gone.
	Just another thing about this as well, Nick, is people are looking because of the state that we're in now.
	People are just looking for strength.
	They're looking for people who exude strength.
	And so you can understand why a guy like Ant, right?
	It's also, yeah, it's not just in his record, but it's in his physiology.
	He looks, as you say, he looks like a leader.
	Everything about him just exudes strength.
	And when you've got, you know, people like Obese, just, oh, no, no, no, shut up.
	You know, we don't have time for this anymore.
	Ant would kick him out for his name alone.
	I don't want anyone obese, even in the name.
	Get out.
	That was a decent impression.
	Yeah, he's.
	And I forgot to say at the start, yeah, partly this is a humorous sort of segment, but also there is a serious element, which is people are so sick of everything that they are looking to like the military.
	They're looking like, why can't we solve the small box?
	And if Ant's saying these things, you can imagine that the veteran community and the military probably are feeling this frustration as well, because that's where he comes from.
	And he's talking to people on the inside.
	They may not phrase it exactly like him, but there is a serious element.
	This is another policy he has.
	He's talking about knife crime, and there's this person, a migrant that stabbed a victim four times and avoided prison because the judge said he'd be better rehabilitated in the community than in prison.
	And Ant Middleton says, what a great deterrent met is an example for not only carrying a knife, but using one to commit murder.
	With my new zero tolerance policies for London, just for carrying a knife, you will automatically serve one year for every centimetre of the blade.
	If you've used a knife and it has pierced or cut skin in any way, shape or form, you'll automatically serve two years for every centimetre of the blade on top of the actual charge itself.
	I'll bring knife crime in London to an all-time low within my first term of London Mayor.
	How about that?
	Novel ideas as well.
	Centimetres.
	I like the mathematical function that is used to calculate the punishment.
	There, isn't it?
	I mean, length of your knife.
	He should be judging it by imperial measurements, of course, and not metric measurements.
	But if anyone's like, you call that a knife, this is a knife, get a massive knife, and Ant will be like, well, you call that a prison sentence?
	That's at least 80 centimetres.
	You'll get in jail for 80 years.
	I mean, I don't know, you know, the machete attacks as well.
	I mean, longer weapon.
	Think about the same thing.
	Longer sentence.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Let's go on.
	It's a great policy.
	And this is his other policy.
	He's going to ban Uber from London.
	This is where I go, steady on, Ant.
	I'm not sure this is going to work.
	You like that or not?
	Well, given the current Uber drivers, yes.
	The only problem is getting anywhere in a non-expensive way.
	Like, I was at GB News, I was working until 12 a.m.
	You know, on that show, and three times a week, they took away the taxis for budgetary reasons.
	And I was like, now I'm going to get the tube at 12am, which is just a dystopian, apocalyptic nightmare.
	You've never seen anything like it.
	No shoes, chicken bones, screaming, fights, drugs.
	I'm just like, so you sometimes think, maybe I'll get an Uber cheaper, but I know what you mean.
	Anyway, Ants has a huge problem in London.
	I stopped using Uber many years ago.
	So the person below was saying that the one time they used an Uber, they were reckless, dangerous, shouldn't be on the road.
	And it says that is very much the case.
	I will look into banning Uber from London and look into uniting London's heritage transportation, black cabs, double-decker buses, trains, and our famous underground, and structure some form of collaboration.
	I like what he calls it.
	He says it'll be part of England's crown jewel transport experience working title.
	See?
	He's got a lot of ideas.
	Dare to dream.
	Wouldn't you love that though, Ant as mayor?
	It'll be so good.
	Anyway, so what's quite interesting about these next few tweets is just that partly I just love reading his tweets.
	It's just my hobby.
	But like I do this and watch drumming videos on YouTube.
	But it's kind of interesting for a military guy to be so against the state, which because they're there to protect the country.
	That's what they're giving, they're sacrificing themselves, risking their lives.
	Allegiance to the king.
	But if you look at how bad it's gone.
	No, no, I want to say that the state is not the same as the people and the country.
	So I can definitely understand.
	Someone says that the state isn't promoting the interest of the people of this country.
	Therefore, I'm very anti-state.
	Yeah.
	Because I love the country.
	Yeah, I know.
	But you're sort of used to following orders, used to hierarchy.
	So I think it's significant.
	Although you're completely right, it's significant when someone like Ant.
	You don't have to be a brainless.
	And he certainly isn't.
	Because if you look at his next tweets, just the level of vitro he has towards the government.
	So this person says one of my mates who's always been on the left is now all of a sudden concerned after the government has moved a load of men into his daughter's street.
	And Ant says, when it arrives at your doorstep and it immediately affects you and your children, which it will if this continues, it'll be too late and your whole family will have to live with the nightmares and destructive trauma for generations to come.
	Obviously talking about migrants in your street.
	And where it struck me is he says, if they were, I'm so tired I can't read.
	If they were, they prioritised, so they prioritised British citizens and our country above all and put an immediate stop to it.
	But this part, stick together and look after one another and be prepared to fight for each other.
	Oh, no, it's this bit.
	Sorry, he says, the government have failed and betrayed you and unfortunately are not on your side.
	So I just think that's kind of a bold thing for a former military person to say.
	And also, he was someone who was just on channel four doing a reality show, SAS Who Dares Wins, and he'd been cancelled slightly for being like not woke or not thinking COVID was as big a deal as they were making it.
	But then to go to like this stage, you know, he's sort of like celebrity level cancelled, but this is like going in hard.
	And he goes further.
	He says the police are against you.
	So they're talking about the protests at the Britannia Hotel.
	And someone quotes talking about the police.
	And Ant says you have every right to protest.
	This is where it counts.
	And this is where you hold the line.
	Strengthen numbers.
	Keep up the tempo.
	Overwhelm.
	Stretch local resources and control the situation.
	You are well within your rights to protest.
	Do not listen or trust the police.
	That is bold.
	He's telling people how to sort of render the police, you know, sort of.
	Yeah, but also he's just giving them advice for, but he's also just giving the population advice for how to do things safely, legally, and responsibly as well.
	But he's saying if you basically overwhelm the police with numbers, they can't do anything.
	Yeah, I suspect he says, do not trust the police telling you that you don't have the right to protest.
	Good point.
	As we saw with Southwood.
	Also, overwhelm the local resources.
	I'd like to think in my head what he means by that is like, look, they've only got so many anti-racist protesters that they can just sort of van all over the country.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Another one like this.
	He says they can't be trusted, plain and simple, talking about the Met.
	The Met police have been hugely compromised and need ripping apart, restructuring and retrain.
	Something I'll do with immediate effect when I become Mayor of London.
	They're a complete embarrassment and internally fractured organization.
	And this is coming from within their ranks, as I know many.
	So that's what I'm saying.
	He knows the people in the...
	It's not the police of individual officers.
	it's not the police of individual officers it's the political organization of the met um this one so someone says to him well what about you're sort of sitting at home like a keyword where inciting people And he says, and not sacrificing anything yourself.
	And he says, no, no, my sacrifices have been plentiful.
	And I've decades more to come, trust me.
	And stepping into the political field requires more sacrifice than you could ever imagine.
	So if we want to save our country and people, we must all sacrifice together, some like myself more than others.
	What are you doing about it?
	Miss Roger replies to the person twelve.
	I just thought it was worth including because the obvious, the attack is always where you're just sitting there telling people to go out and do stuff, but you're not doing it.
	He's saying, well, no, I am doing it by getting involved.
	I'd just like to make a point on that as well about sacrificing just the current moment as well.
	Because if I dare, to bring it back to what we were saying about the Lord of the Rings briefly, Nick, as well, one of the main points, of course, of the Lord of the Rings is that you're going to, even if you save everything, right, it's not going to be the same as it was before the evil set in, right?
	You have to lose some things that are valuable to you in order to save what you can or to save other things or so that other generations further down the line can enjoy the things that you've sacrificed for.
	And Ant seems to be very, very conscious of, you know, when he talks about all the generations, you know, he understands the great chain of being.
	He understands the Burkean contract just innately, right?
	You don't even really need to articulate it.
	You can just see when somebody embodies it and when they realize whether or not they are a representation, you know, represent their own country in that way.
	It's a great point.
	And you're right.
	We can't go back.
	Frodo loses his finger.
	He has to leave his home and so on.
	To use your analogy, nothing's quite the same at the end.
	Yeah, there's a lot of sacrifice involved.
	this one's really long this is just part of my series on Ant's views on the migrant situation and he talks about how I didn't expect him to have any He's got quite a lot.
	He seems such a moderate fellow.
	He said, I declare a national emergency, deploy our Royal Navy to stop the boats and halt any visa applications for six months to the offender's nationality from entering the country.
	Boom.
	I mean, and he talks about it in that reform speech that I played a clip of at the start briefly.
	He says our navy is the best in the world.
	They're still the best in the world, so why can't they do this?
	And it's so frustrating, as we know.
	And just the level of vital, the things he's prepared to say here are just quite notable.
	He says, do not stand down.
	They want and are willing to infringe on your human rights to protest, but are not willing to do so for illegal, undocumented invaders.
	I just thought it was interesting he'd use that language and dare call them invaders.
	And he talks about it shocks him that anyone would want to protect these savages, etc.
	Anyway, you get the idea.
	He's pretty bold on the migrant question.
	Then he says, who owns the hotel in Canary Wharf?
	Name, please.
	And you're like, oh, that guy's just absolutely bricking it.
	Oh, no.
	It's that guy, Alex Langston, isn't it?
	Who I should have brought up a picture of it because he just looks like you're sort of, you know, a rich, greedy villain.
	He's a fat bloke.
	You can imagine the movie scene and just shows up at his penthouse.
	That's only going one way, but I won't say more in case I get in trouble.
	And he also called out racism against white British girls.
	Welcome to the world of the modern-day white British girl.
	Racism and bullying is despicable, must never go in challenge.
	However, being groomed, sexually abused, and raped for being a white British girl is probably the worst form of racial abuse that exists out there.
	Pretty bold.
	This is your new reform mayor candidate.
	You can see why that didn't work out.
	God, I wish.
	Yeah.
	I wish.
	I know.
	You can see why they were not sure about that.
	And of course, he hates Sadiq Khan.
	And he even goes as far as saying we need a native Brit such as myself looking after and protecting our historic capital city.
	Not many people saying stuff like that.
	No.
	And what's more, all of the great landmarks that London is associated with, whether it's Parliament or the British Museum or, you know, whatever, Tower Bridge, all of these things now, you don't walk around them, you know, the people of London because they are just not British.
	They don't, they're not walking around and seeing their own inheritance reflected back at them.
	At most, they're simply, it's like an interactive museum, right?
	The whole city is just a great big museum.
	And, oh, there's that thing.
	I can take a picture of that.
	And there's that thing.
	I can take a picture of that.
	Which, don't get me wrong, is perfectly fine and innocent if when you're a bunch of tourists.
	But in terms of like maintaining the city itself, maintaining its character and its memory.
	But also there's a side of there is a dimension of symbolism.
	Your capital needs to have a particular kind of character.
	Yes.
	That's why, for instance, if you look, London is it's losing it.
	You look at Brussels, it's losing the European character.
	Right.
	It's when people don't have particularly good intentions, they go after the capital.
	Yeah, let's put it this way.
	That's a great point.
	And that's another thing that I remember thinking back when the whole cultural revolution was going on in London, you know, and was starting to rename the place names and, you know, have and have perfectly unbiased committees about which statues need to come down, what needs to be put up.
	It's like, no, no, you don't understand.
	It's not just like, I appreciate the fact that you think you've all won, right?
	And that you've taken London.
	But what you don't seem to appreciate as well is that there is an entire country attached to London that is mostly filled by English people, or Scottish people, Welsh people, just British people.
	And really, when you go to London, you should be seeing the highest reflection of what your civilization has been able to achieve.
	Yeah.
	And can I add one thing, which is maybe a bugbear of mine, which is on the right, there's a tendency to say, oh, London, you know, don't get me wrong, if I ever leave London, I will say something like I'm moving back to England.
	I'm sure I'll tweet something like that.
	I won't be so smug about it, though, because there's a tendency.
	Some on the right, they sort of leave London, they post about it, and they say, Thank God I'm out of there, and blah, blah, blah.
	And they mock it when they go to it and they say it's a bleep hole or whatever.
	But it's like, that is our capital city.
	I understand the demographics are screwed, but it's like, can we just not give up the capital?
	Yeah, I'm not abandoning it.
	That's what I'm saying.
	People are abandoning it.
	And I can't say, because I've lived there a long, long time.
	And it's like, and I'm from the north, of course.
	Of course, I still think of myself as from the lakes.
	I'm from Cumberland in the north.
	And that's how I'll always think of my home.
	But let's not abandon the capital city this easily.
	Well, what's more, if you're willing to abandon the capital, then there's literally nowhere that you're not willing to abandon.
	Then you're happy to abandon Birmingham.
	Then you're happy to abandon Leicester and so on and so on until you realize, hang on, we've got nothing left.
	Yeah, you're in a temporary retreat to the shires and the reservation.
	But that's only going to last so long.
	Or you could say, I mean, I'll be home.
	You could say Canberra, for instance.
	But I think the capital is really symbolic because that's where the center of power lies.
	So if any country loses its capital, culturally speaking, there is a message that is being communicated that, you know, we have lost the center of power.
	Yeah.
	Culturally.
	I remember all those films back from about a decade ago now.
	There were a few films at that time.
	I was like, White House Down and stuff like that.
	Just crappy.
	Olympus has fallen.
	Olympus has fallen.
	All these action films.
	London has fallen.
	But like the idea of like, well, where's the most, where's the biggest threat, you know, in the film for them to occupy?
	It's not New York.
	It's not Los Angeles, right?
	No, it's like taking Washington.
	You go straight for the capital.
	Yeah.
	And you lose the capital.
	It inevitably falls.
	Morale is going to shatter and it does enormous psychic damage to a nation.
	Yeah, and this is what I love is Ant's boldness of saying, I'm a native Britain, we should have me running the capital.
	And that is true.
	And that would make a huge difference.
	And just that idea is matter when you've got someone like Khan in there.
	But obviously, achieving it would be another thing.
	I thought we'd end just-I don't know how much time I got, but I thought I'd end on some fun, random, mad tweets from Anton's really.
	He's throwing some hand grenades at you.
	Yeah, and you thought the ones so far were kind of out there, but no.
	So he says, So this one comes in in response to a load of horrible statistics on sexual assaults, let's say.
	And he says, the replacement of British culture, law and order, Christian values and principles, and some seriously poo-emoji politicians.
	Oh, and not forgetting a multi-billion pound inclusivity program paid for by the taxpayer that has catastrophically failed.
	We who have funded it over the years are ultimately to blame.
	I think a tax strike is the next step if nothing changes.
	So we're just proposing a tax strike, which is the most.
	Yeah, and just think of the level of social engineering they're trying to do and people like Sadiq Khan are engaged in.
	All of us just constantly, you know, we need money in order to tell you what in order to deprive you of your freedom.
	That's it.
	Yeah, but and I agree, but a tax strike is about the most bold thing you can suggest because the whole system would collapse.
	That's the thing they're most scared of.
	That's why they pursued John McAfee to the ends of the earth, you know, because he was flagrantly not paying his tax and telling people how to get away with it.
	Ant's just like, yeah, stop paying your tax.
	I just think I'm the new mayor.
	I just think that Jimmy Carl's just like, yeah, all right.
	Well ahead of your brother.
	Another based one.
	So Nick Buckley says the left have a lot to answer for, allowing the.
	Are you allowed to say this word on YouTube?
	I'm going to skip it.
	The grape of children has to be the greatest act of treason.
	And then Ant replies, they will pay the ultimate price, fear not.
	And you're like, all right, Ant, guy that used to kill people for a living.
	What do you mean by the ultimate price?
	He just means very, very long prison sentences.
	I think he means their soul will go to hell, perhaps, as well.
	He could also mean that.
	Let's say he means that.
	He makes a claim about the Lord.
	Yeah.
	Because otherwise, that's just a really scary tweet.
	But, you know, I don't know.
	And I don't want to get Ant in trouble, so I think he's probably making a spiritual claim.
	This, just to end on, Narinda has said something stupid about him insulting a police officer, which he says he didn't do, a female one, sorry.
	And Ant says, fake news from a fake Brit, hashtag not welcome.
	Oh!
	So, you know, he's not prepared to, he's prepared to go there.
	Just some fun-based tweets from Ant.
	And that's all that section was really about.
	You know what, actually, I know we were talking about.
	I know I was saying just a minute ago, we can't abandon London.
	Counterpoint to my own argument.
	We get Ant in.
	What we do is we find a city in England that Ant could win.
	Maybe York or something, right?
	Somewhere with Durham, somewhere with a Gordon, and we set it up as a counter-capital city.
	And then from there, we use that to push out from.
	Great idea.
	I'm sure he'd love it.
	I'd be like, love, you think he made great idea.
	I'm going to set up a counter-capital.
	He'll be tweeting about that in days.
	You'll see.
	He could actually do it as well.
	Really heavily armed.
	Do you know what I mean?
	Like heavily.
	In his speech, he talked about on his show, he brings people into a camp and he has a secure border, and you've got to be safe first.
	And then he sort of breaks down their identity and builds them up.
	He's like, that's what we've got to do.
	Safe border, get our identity established.
	It'll be like a brutally fortified ant.
	Look at the vantage points you could have from the top of Durham Cathedral.
	It's a great idea.
	All right, that is my bit.
	Do we have to read something from somewhere?
	Yeah, yeah, okay.
	Right.
	So we have Tom Ratt 247.
	Middleton is the Heinleinianist candidate we need and deserve.
	Right.
	OPH UK.
	We don't need to fund an airport in Mirpur if we just parachute, drop them out somewhere over Pakistan.
	Did you not read that for a reason?
	And I just read it.
	You know, I was thinking, is this fetty or not?
	Yeah, right.
	And I spent for it.
	Parachutes are perfectly safe in the whole that whole section was a bit fetty to be said any of it.
	Logan 17 Pine, as someone that has to work in the crack den of LA, you wish for the bloody code when you see your 50th shoplifter in a week.
	And Skin Hood says something Arville said the other day.
	These big cities came from the US, came from us.
	He says, if we leave, we will remake new cities again.
	The culture goes with us, not the invaders, and they can't maintain it.
	Interesting counterpoint there.
	All right, ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk to you all about an idiot abroad.
	And I only wish that it could be the endearing, comical type of idiot abroad, like Carl Pilkington.
	But unfortunately, there's a much greater idiot at large, much more insufferable, with no seemingly redeemable qualities whatever.
	What does he do to you, Luca?
	He bothered me.
	Okay.
	He bothered me greatly.
	Before I talk about why he bothers me so much, though, let me just tell you about something that doesn't bother me, which is the new island.
	Terrible, terrible segue.
	Actually, a good segue.
	Oh, well, I thought so.
	So far too self-deficating.
	But anyway, Islander issue four is out now, ladies and gentlemen.
	It's a wonderful issue.
	Rory, again, you go through it.
	The aesthetics are terrific.
	The essays are very, very intellectually nourishing.
	And there's some fantastic writers.
	And they've got Ed Dutton.
	Ed Dutton.
	Morgoff.
	And you've got Sting on the cover.
	I'm not quite sure why.
	No, no, that's Rory.
	Okay.
	That's Rory.
	He posed for it and we shaved his head.
	But otherwise, do go and buy it for $14.99 on the website as well as the merch store as well.
	Is he contemplating how fragile we are?
	Yes, yes.
	Well, I can actually, oh no, is this?
	Yep.
	You can see here, there's all sorts of little esoteric symbols in there.
	What does it all mean?
	Go and read the magazine and find out for yourself.
	So, gentlemen, shall we discuss the idiot?
	We have here Brian Krasenstein, who is honestly, you know, you just get those left-wing reply guys on Twitter, just all the time.
	You know, when Musk took over, they all said, oh, we're going to leave.
	And to be fair, there was a mass exodus to Blue Sky.
	But of course, some of them remained to torment us.
	And I wanted to go through Krasenstein's here because it's a perfect contradiction.
	It's a perfect contradiction.
	So he goes through and he just says, I just returned from two weeks in Japan.
	And I have to be honest, it really opens my eyes to how far behind the United States is falling in so many basic ways.
	Some things that stood out in two weeks across some of Japan's most densely populated cities, I saw only two visibly homeless people.
	I saw one person who appeared to be struggling with addiction.
	High-speed rail made affordable, clean, efficient transportation the norm, not a fantasy.
	I never once felt unsafe letting my kids walk freely beside me in public.
	Despite having far fewer public trash cans, Japan's streets had a fraction of the litter.
	The countries reduced income inequality was visible everywhere, from housing to public services.
	And I already know what some far-right folks will say.
	It's because Japan has low immigration or it's not run by Democrats.
	But those are lazy excuses and distractions from the real issues.
	The truth, we've normalized dysfunction in the United States.
	And we make excuses for it instead of demanding better.
	Yeah, but you see how he has already, I think he, right.
	Right, so I'm trying to understand what he and his brother are going on about, generally speaking, and I think that...
	You'll never win.
	Maybe, maybe.
	But if you scroll up a bit, you see essentially he has put forward the alternative explanation of the left, which is, according to him, reduced income inequality.
	So for the left, it's only and it can only be an issue of money, not culture.
	So every time you see any kind of problem coming from the left or from the people the left is supposed to defend, their knee-jerk reaction is, we need to raise your taxes.
	Is there more crime in, let's say, migrant communities?
	Yes, they may accept it, but the remedy is to raise taxes in order to give more money to them.
	It's always blame the rich.
	But even if, and I agree with you, Stelios, but even if, say, for argument's sake, that his economic presuppositions about inequality driving crime were correct, say that they were.
	Does it not also follow that, well, can you not address income inequality and also not import millions and millions of people every year?
	Good idea.
	Right?
	Yeah, the issue is though that it's one thing to say that income inequality is a factor and quite another to eventually treat it as the one and only factor.
	They may not say this explicitly, but generally speaking, this is the pattern, the way they go about it.
	Can I say one thing?
	He's only even saying this caveat because they've been savage so many times on Twitter.
	Just getting mocked.
	Because he's saying, I know they'll say that.
	Because the left doesn't even they're not even aware of these arguments.
	Now they become aware because they're on X and it's been taken over.
	So he's going, I know you'll say it's because of immigration.
	By the way, two visibly homeless people in Japan is a cause for great shame.
	Someone had to probably do ritual suicide and disembowel themselves out of pure shame.
	You know what I mean?
	Even the two in Japan is like, ah, the streets are not safe.
	So dishonorable.
	But he's completely wrong, but because Dr. Paul Morland has talked about this.
	Japan, have you heard him talk about the trilemma?
	He says that he says that when you've got low birth rates, there's three options.
	He talks about there's a he says countries choose from two of these three, but they can't have all three.
	So you've got economic growth, you've got ethnocentrism, and you've got what he calls egotism, which is just conveniently to have another E, meaning not having children and pursuing your own life.
	So he says you can choose two out of three.
	And he points out Japan shows ethnocentrism and economic and egotism as in not having children.
	So they've lost some of the economic growth.
	That was just okay.
	Whereas Israel has got the ethnocentrism, so they have a high birth rate and they've got the economic growth.
	They haven't got the egotism of not having children.
	So we've chosen this country, economic growth and the egotism of not having children.
	Well, we lost what he's calling the ethno-winic growth.
	We didn't in the end even get it.
	So you're going to get only get one of them.
	But that's what most, you know, that's if he's saying he's saying something else about Japan.
	But also notice how the word culture doesn't feature in this post.
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	Because he talks about there being no fraction of a litter.
	And one of the issues, one of the main features of Japanese culture is cleanliness.
	They tend to consider about, they tend to think of public spaces as their own spaces rather than just trash cans.
	Right.
	And what's more as well, the fact was that they used to have rubbish bins all over the place, but they were taken away.
	This is what they took from you.
	Look at what they took from us.
	I suppose the other way you can do it is just authoritarianism.
	Singapore, I said it, may have said it before, but Lee Kuan Yew looked at England and he says, wow, this is an incredible high trust society.
	People paying for papers and leaving the right amount, whatever, and not taking other things.
	And he just looked at it and said, we can never have that in Singapore.
	But the only way we can try and achieve it is just with authoritarianism, which is basically what he did to try and because he had this multicultural setup of Indian, Malay, and Chinese.
	Japan is considered very high trust.
	I know.
	But the only other way to achieve this is in a multicultural society is with authoritarianism, is what I'm saying.
	And then you might end up with a similar level to Japan, but they've achieved it through high trust, like you say.
	And again, we just seem to lose out because we have the multiculturalism now.
	We're definitely getting the authoritarianism.
	And we still don't have any of the perks of what it's all about.
	But Mitch, again, I love that.
	It's like, oh, I know you're going to say it's about immigration.
	It's like, yeah, and just because you've said, I know you're going to say that, that doesn't mean we're going to not say that, right?
	So when Mitch is like, wow, it's almost like having strict immigration laws, a homogenous population, functional families, zero tolerance for crime and no DEI consultants, actually works.
	And you can see Brian there at the bottom.
	It's like, so then why did you vote for a convicted felon with immigration, immigrant wife, if you truly believe that?
	Again, Brian, right?
	Whether or not, like, again, like, for a guy.
	Besides the point.
	Well, one, it's entirely besides the point.
	But second of all, it's like, yeah, he was prescribed a felon by his political enemies.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And then, but also it's like, no, yeah, but his policies, Brian, the things that MAGA was advocating for, would lead on to all of these problems that Mitch points out there.
	Well, not all of them, but some of them being addressed.
	You know, I think they're like, sometimes they function like blades of the sun.
	You know, they're really crazy.
	They're going to post something that is really stupid.
	Then everyone's going to give them millions of views.
	Engagement farm.
	Yeah, and because we're going to go ballistic over it.
	And they get money.
	Yeah, that's what they're in the curve.
	I mean, you look at it.
	Yeah.
	By the way, that convicted felon thing.
	I was doing an interview with David Starkey, hopefully coming out on Monday.
	Not plugging myself.
	But they just, he said, the left believe in magic.
	They believe in words.
	And then the words make things so.
	They're like, he's a convicted felon.
	Yeah, because you guys called him that two minutes ago, as you said.
	It's like, why is no one taking this seriously?
	Because it's obviously just nonsense.
	It's lawfare that you've just done.
	They're like, well, he's a convicted felon.
	They thought that was actually going to work because magic in their mind.
	That's a really good point, actually, because if you think of lots of revolutionaries and leftists, they just say, well, okay, we legislated for it.
	That's it.
	Finish.
	Yeah.
	You actually have to also oversee the policy.
	Oh, that's right.
	Legal immigration.
	Oh, well, then you can destroy the country.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So you have here.
	Let's go through some of Brian's views on things, shall we?
	Support legal immigration because it strengthens our country and ensures a fair process for those who want to contribute to America.
	I oppose illegal immigration because a nation without borders is a nation without laws.
	We'll come back to that in a minute.
	I'm against tearing families apart for those who have been here over three years, right?
	So he's not against that one, right?
	Again, already contradicting himself.
	Well, no, but if you've been here for three years, then you're what, not illegal anymore.
	Tom Holman always said, just send the family back as well.
	Yeah, yeah, but yeah.
	I advocate for massively increasing the funding to expedite the immigration process.
	I believe in securing the border responsibly whilst ensuring compassion for these fleeing the danger.
	The thing is, right, when you look at Japan, if Japan entirely governed itself by principles of compassion, they would have far more Kurds in the country right now.
	And with 3,000 Kurds in Tokyo, they're already causing enormous problems for the local people.
	And you can see Josh and Bo were just covering the other day talking about the fact that how quickly this new party in Japan, this San Cito party, has been able to get itself up and running based on the fact that people just don't want this, right?
	They just don't want it and they're voting on this single issue to just nip it in the bud right now.
	And this is something that people like Brian will never wish to address and never get hold of.
	Look at this here.
	Notice, the incoming Trump administration is planning a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago next week.
	So tipping that again, oh, I'm not against illegal immigration, but I'm just going to tip off this city so that you can hide all of the illegals in it as quick as possible.
	So again, he talks about the fact that, oh, Japan's so safe, but again, just doesn't advocate for a single policy that would actually create or foster that sort of society in America.
	This is what I really dislike about the rhetoric of people like Jon Stewart, because it's like you're either going to go for Putin's Russia level of authoritarianism or you're going to have, you know, Sanfras Cisco level of defecation on the street.
	It doesn't have to be an exhaustive dilemma.
	No.
	No, no, it doesn't at all.
	And, you know, we obviously can't forget that all European countries used to be like this until just a few generations.
	They took from us.
	Yeah.
	Again, award.
	So if I go on as well, he's pro-legal immigration and H-1B visas because that's real American first.
	Here's a shitlib here to tell you what real America first is.
	I don't understand what that means, unless you're a bigot.
	So you have to have Indians undercutting your wages or you're a bigot and you're not America first.
	Yes.
	Loyalty to the United.
	Well, what is good for America is to have allegiance to every single human being on the planet who lives outside of America but wants to get into it.
	And none at all for the, you know, the wasps and Europeans who actually built up America into the place of prosperity that the whole world wants to move to.
	And this is the thing.
	What he doesn't appreciate.
	He can duck the immigration thing all he wants.
	But the fact of the matter is that the Japanese are the custodians of their civilization and have been for basically millennia at this point.
	And so they feel that responsibility for it in a way that you just simply don't see.
	Just to come back to something a little more, well, not trivial, but like, you know, like the situation of all the rubbish in the streets, right?
	It is the Japanese people don't need the state to intervene in order for them to understand the importance of a clean street, right?
	Or just living in a clean society, clean city, clear village, wherever it may be, in a way that the people currently in squatting in Birmingham, right, just don't appreciate and don't understand.
	Oh, the bins haven't come to be collected.
	So I'm just going to allow myself to continue living in squalor and filth, right?
	Like you and I would have the initiative to just do what we can to make sure our part of our pot of land, our house, looks presentable from the front.
	You know, all those old pether, British pether videos, you know, just women out sweeping their doorsteps every morning and all that just like quaint stuff.
	Like those days are gone.
	So as I was trying to say before, you have the high trust society naturally.
	Once that goes, it's incredibly hard to have.
	And once it goes, like Lee Kwan Yu couldn't believe that we had it.
	Once it goes, you only get it artificially with authoritarianism.
	And by the way, on that previous one, Elon Musk agrees with him on H1B visas.
	Oh, I know.
	Maybe that's why he gets such good engagement on Twitter.
	Maybe it is.
	He's an intech bro with Elon.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, I personally don't believe that...
	One thing to...
	So apologies.
	So one thing to add to what you say, Nick, I think when Musk was talking about a third party, both brothers were considering it.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Imagine that party, Elon Musk and the two Krasnstais is like the more...
	I mean, Elon Musk is obviously a genius, but not on politics.
	But he's like, let's have the America party.
	It's like, can we not, Elon?
	Can we not have a bunch of people?
	The Musk Krasenstein ticket.
	Yeah.
	Just dual vice presidents and just because they're one.
	I always think they're like one weird person.
	Co-councils of the consuls.
	VP Brian Krasenstein.
	To be fair, Musk is kind of, it comes across kind of weird.
	Obviously a genius, but kind of weird, right?
	I think we all agree.
	So they would be even weirder than him.
	That would offset his weird.
	i'm the normal one i think i'm i'm sorry look Look at these guys.
	That's what it is.
	Right.
	It's come across more normal.
	That's the only reason you get them on board.
	But of course, apparently there are hidden trade-offs to Japan's crime-free society.
	So much safety.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, safety makes you weak and boring and complacent and soft.
	Soft times, creative bad times.
	So Japan's abundant social capital and cultural cohesion also translates into one of the world's lowest incarceration rates.
	Japan has a death penalty, but with a twist.
	The condemned aren't informed of their execution date until the morning it's scheduled to occur.
	So you're dying today.
	You know, simple as that.
	And so there's this form of like psychological warfare that you're basically playing with your criminals.
	Just every night they're awake.
	You're like, is this my last night on earth?
	That for all time.
	Do you know what?
	I thought I was based wanting to bring back the death penalty.
	I was a total lib.
	It's death penalty and you don't tell them till the day.
	That's the new standard for me now.
	Prouds, motherfucker.
	And yeah, but obviously there are considerable ethical issues about this practice in Japan and it's a bad thing.
	What are they?
	I just told you that.
	Oh, that was them.
	Physical and spiritual cleanliness are interlinked in Japanese culture.
	The philosophy parallels the broken window theory of crime, which suggests that minor signs of disorder like broken windows or graffiti subtly degrade respect for the law, encouraging more serious criminality.
	And similarly, Japan's meticulous cleanliness functions as an unspoken deterrent to misbehavior, reinforcing a high standard of order that infuses the entire society.
	And again, this is something that we used to have, you know, to come back to what I was saying earlier.
	But I do think also it is, I don't want to speak as if I think that just because we've lost these things, we can't reclaim them again, right?
	I do think with time and patience and education and just moral standards that we can actually return to those things.
	But it won't be with the current demographic state.
	No, and Japan's even more like this.
	They talk about meticulous cleanliness.
	I mean, they have those toilets that shoot out a little jet of water.
	Have you seen those?
	And they play music.
	I mean, Japan takes it to the next level.
	I was watching that thinking, I'm so much like the Japanese.
	You've got to respect the Japanese, right?
	The cleanliness, the neatness, the nice architecture.
	It's all great stuff.
	One of the things as well I love is that the rules, you'd expect them, because you hear about the cleanliness and all of these sorts of things, you expect them to be just really austere, right?
	And just really serious about following, almost like German in their psychology.
	But they're really arbitrary about which rules.
	They are madmen when it comes to cycling.
	Absolute madmen.
	Yeah, if the light is red, then they won't cross the road.
	But otherwise, I was in Osaka and I saw a woman texting one-handed down a busy market stall with a baby in the front basket.
	Just like this.
	The crowds just parting.
	Everything.
	So, you know, there is some chaos in there as well.
	Yeah.
	Also, is it true that the Battle Royale was not fiction?
	I don't know.
	That was something I'll have to look at.
	Well, it definitely wasn't fiction back in the 1400s.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's for sure.
	That's for sure.
	So, but also, one of the other things.
	Sorry, I'm talking about the movie.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I've not seen it.
	I know that.
	I've got a few generations that were a bit not disrespectful of the elders.
	So they said every year you're going to pick a class.
	Right.
	Make them just fight each other to the death.
	I'll have to watch the film to be honest with you.
	I'm sure it was a long time ago.
	Yeah.
	I don't remember.
	I don't recognize what he said.
	Gone.
	But we're sure it's true, Stelios.
	So just to wrap up as well.
	So what I just wanted to say, right?
	Between World War II and then the two atomic bombs and then American occupation, right?
	It goes to show that decline and disgrace and uncleanliness, all these things that he remarks on, as he points out, they are in some ways a choice, right?
	Of course they are a choice, but the people who inhabit your nation make up those choices, right?
	And because of cultural differences, some people are more likely to make certain choices than others.
	And so I just wanted to really just use this as an opportunity to rant about all that.
	I hope you'll all forgive me.
	But all right, let's go to the comments.
	Yeah, I'll read through these.
	Okay.
	If I can drag my mouse.
	Thank you.
	Skittenhund says.
	We said this.
	Oh, did we?
	The next one is habsification.
	All right.
	Deranged woke leftists go to a country that is ethnically and culturally homogenous and sees the sorry it jumped sees the country function properly.
	Yeah, you see true communism works The mass immigration will be happy with sorry the map I would be happy with sorry is East Asian bikini models.
	i'm sure it would logan i'm sure it would maybe in your name don't have to go just east asian for bikini models that's where you need to be inclusive where would you greek bikini model no no i'm inclusive bikini models right yeah it's like like lizzo yeah um oh it's this way sorry i think i was i was yeah sorry people keep moving it's uh the mass immigration uh yes sorry uh hapsification deranged uh woke leftist
	also wants same proper functioning system in his own country but advocates everything that is against a proper functioning system yeah absolutely uh hapsification gains oh sorry it's uh oh no uh deranged woke leftist gets all his policies all the policies he advocates for results are nothing like the homogenous country and gets worse results uh leftist is confused why not same results yeah and then but continue to learn nothing and i suppose that's the thing as well it's like and
	honestly it really opened my eyes no it didn't brian your eyes have not been opened in the slightest i i could say a comment about asian people and how no i won't uh i was i was halfway there but i were you a lib you've got some you've got some standards gone uh the engage for you the only notice uh they only notice the condemned deserve is that first scrims of the scaffold they're ascending see he's taking it to the next level
	yeah like you call that base he's like no no no not not told on the morning engage foods at aunt middleton posting yeah yeah exactly tell them seconds before not even tell them they see it uh jahad says i do hope great britain gets itself together it should be rather heartbreaking if the land of my ancestors and its landmarks that gave us our name was suddenly renamed by the invaders don't worry jahad we've got this and uh habification says there is a solution to the great switcheroo
	uh get married and have 10 kids so everyone on the panel have a duty to get married and have 10 kids i'm far too busy working at the lotus eaters these days to be honest with you but um i'll add it to the list habification i'm just one away i've got the nine scattered around the country right last one so let's go to the video comments first
	one michael dribble corbin wants your help in naming his new party well i have a good one for him he can call it the british national socialist workers party and he's just the kind of moron along with most of his followers who will think that's a great idea
	it's so funny because it actually now seems like it is being called your party after they said it wasn't it was registered as that i think i saw a ridiculous name it's still yeah maybe they're calling your party you too they'll totally end up just calling it your party bono as prime minister yeah you need to be on the spectrum itself to be considered english you you
	you Magnificently put together.
	Nice.
	Right.
	Do we have any?
	Right, let's go to the written comments.
	Let's go now.
	First of all, I want to say, Roman Observer, what you said about Lizo on the live chat was absolutely hilarious.
	Couldn't stop laughing.
	He said Lizzie is all plural by herself.
	Right, okay.
	So, Omar Wad says, even if Big Balls doesn't have the big fists to match on 10 to 1 odds, no less, where would you ever find such an example on the left?
	Does anyone believe Daniel Penny is a far leftist?
	Even their memes in comics are cocked.
	Oh, maybe the thief will be happier with my staff than me.
	Cowards.
	Through and through.
	You remember that woman who there was a knifing in New York a few months back and she left him there bleeding in the gutter and then went on to not only abandon him but to not grasp not press charges against against the killer and then went on to vote for Mamdani.
	Yeah, but also yeah, just look at just scum.
	Yeah.
	Genuine scum.
	Just look at how they they treat Luigi Mangione as the name.
	Yeah.
	It's actually they stand for the killer.
	Yes, yes they do.
	Yeah.
	Don't meet you read some of these stereos.
	So do you want to read?
	I don't know how sometimes I'm just trying to help out.
	There's a lot of them though.
	So Lord Neverer says Ant Middleton is strong, capable, competent.
	He has an ancestry in this country and a deep care for it.
	Exactly who you'd want to lead.
	So naturally, Farage has canned him.
	Yes, if he has, but he's not.
	Not on my watch.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yes.
	Maybe he'll still help them with security stuff, but he won't be there.
	Omar Awad, I'm not sure wet political slime like Farage have fully considered the ramifications of removing people like Ant Middleton from political solutions.
	Ant sounds like the kind of bloke to solve problems however he needs to.
	Absolutely.
	David Ward, really liking Ant Viva Middleton.
	Absolutely.
	Alpha of the Betas, it doesn't matter how radical Ant Middleton's policies are, they're still policies.
	They're still a political solution to an existential threat.
	Every person who hand waves this away as extreme takes a step-by-step closer to a non-political solution.
	I think that's fair.
	Michael Kyle, I saw an article insinuating Middleton's suggestion of barring up to third generation immigrants from high office was stupid because Churchill's mother was from Brooklyn.
	A man couldn't have made me more supportive.
	Yeah, checkmate there.
	David Ward, Hope Middleton stands anyway.
	Nige picks another venerator of the, can we say desert non-science?
	I don't know if we're allowed to say that.
	You just did.
	Probably, almost certainly.
	We're not on YouTube now.
	No, that's what I was thinking, but I was thinking, what are Carl's rules?
	is a safe space nick for you yeah i mean i'm not sure i can say there's anything about zia without i don't want to get carl sue so maybe we'll skip on um There are so many.
	So thank you for the comments.
	So Jordi Swordsman, the founder of the SBS, on having his proposal for the formation rejected, decided to prove the concept by breaking into a ship, writing his name on the captain's door, and then stealing a gun cover, which he walked into the officers' mess with.
	He was promoted on the spot, given some men and told to get on with it.
	TLDR, the SBS, are absolute madmen.
	That is, that's Lord Miles.
	I'm going to look into that.
	That's, yeah, remarkable story.
	Huge if true.
	David Ward, if certain demographics are incapable of functioning in a civilized society, they have to be removed.
	Interesting.
	I'm not committing myself.
	Jimbo G, if I hear Sadiq Khan say diversity one more time, you will hear the sounds of my plate smashing from Swindon.
	Fair.
	Richard Johnson, RU's court cases being lowered to 16 in the UK or 18 when they get the right to vote.
	After all, if they can vote in the country, so they also get the same rights as an adult and be punished as an adult criminal.
	One vote can tip an election result.
	Very, very true.
	Yes, if they're going to be 16, we're going to have to say they're adults if you're going to get a vote.
	Yeah.
	Just one thing about what Jimbo was saying about Sadiq Khan just saying diversity as well.
	It's like at this point, he really does feel like such a time capsule of a man, doesn't he?
	2014 wants his politicians.
	Oh god, yeah, honestly.
	It's like, no, no, no, Sadiq.
	We're so far past this, mate.
	Yeah.
	Nate.
	We're so far on.
	He was telling Trumpy what he wanted.
	He was saying he wanted to show Trump round the mosque, wasn't he, the other day?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I haven't heard about it.
	But honestly, he introduced the ULA's laws.
	There's just no salvation for this.
	It's irredeemable.
	Absolutely.
	True.
	Every time you have to go to TFL.
	When Khan's like, oh, I'll show him around Tower Hamlets.
	It's like, oh, yeah, what's it notable for?
	Mosques and voter fraud.
	Right, yeah.
	Right.
	There's a lot of masks.
	What about all these mosques?
	It'll just be like, yeah.
	Showing Trump a lot of mosques in Tower Hamlet.
	Wow.
	Here's where we keep the weapons.
	Yeah, here's where the police told us to put our ass.
	There we stash the weapons because we have our own police.
	Anyway.
	Lord Inquisitor Hector X. Luca, my disappointment is a measurable that it's not Kyle Pilkington.
	Me too, Rex.
	Me too.
	Furious Dan says he denies solutions and rejects explanations and immediately says we've normalized dysfunction and made excuses for it.
	It's not an accusation.
	It's a boast.
	Yeah, I could see that point, Dan.
	Well said.
	Yeah, because if you think, how many years are they governing?
	Because they have Obama.
	They had eight years of Obama and then four years of Biden.
	Yeah.
	But what's more?
	Like, no, Biden, sorry, Obama led to Trump.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	That's how much dissatisfaction there was in the system.
	You know, and whatever people say and whatever our opinions are now on Trump's backsliding.
	That win in 2016 was truly astonishing.
	I mean, that was an against all odds victory.
	Just you read Brian Krassenstein and you ask yourself, has he never paused to ask himself?
	I mean, we are constantly making excuses for everyone we want to call our allies, for all the minorities.
	When you habituate people into not being accountable, when you habituate them into thinking that there are no consequences for their action, yeah, of course they're not going to excel at anything.
	Of course they're not going to have the drive to make something out of it.
	And when you constantly brainwash people saying that, no, society hates you and society systemically hates you and everyone else needs to change for you to be well.
	Yeah, they're not going to love it.
	They're not going to love their country.
	So they're going to hate it.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And we've just been living in this malaise for so long now that generations just don't know anything different.
	It's terrible.
	Got a Roman Observer.
	100% agree with Stelios.
	Destroy the capital to destroy the country.
	For Rome, they first moved all the industries and banks to Milan, leaving us to rot with just public employees and tourist attractions.
	Now we're getting the enrichment.
	Yeah, actually, I'd need to look into that more as well, because from what I could tell when I last looked at the demographics of Rome, they were still about 90% Italian, which as capital cities around Western Europe go, is quite impressive.
	But yeah, I've been led to believe that that's quickly changing now as well.
	So very, very tragic stuff.
	Yeah, I don't think Milan is serious.
	No, she's not.
	No, she's a complete charlatan.
	Complete charlatan.
	Omar Awad says, the Krasenstein will always tell you that your country is in decline, but never tell you why.
	Famous conservative, you know, aristocrat Krasenstein.
	You know, just it's all decline, decline, decline.
	He's stolen your moniker, though.
	He's the Krasenstein, and you're the Stelios.
	The Oswald Spengler reading Krasenstein.
	The decline of your country.
	He would vote against every single Japanese policy that got them where they are and then blame you for not paying the hobo Dane gold.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	And honourable mentions, a guy from Hungary says, great to see here Nick on the Friday podcast.
	Luca Stelios, stop the bullying, give Nick back his tie.
	Yeah, no, why do you want a tie?
	We are wearing ties.
	I don't look good in them.
	I'm not saying I look good now, but I think I look worse in a tie.
	Something about my beard, I don't know.
	What if you were to try for the cravat maxing?
	Maybe you're right.
	Or maybe I should need a better knot like yours.
	Looks quite a solid knot.
	I don't know what I've been doing wrong.
	But let's read the next bit though.
	That's the key bit.
	I've been reminded that I am behind in Dixon Cox.
	You probably don't even know what that means, but I have a podcast with Paul Cox called Dix and Cox because very witty.
	Yes, level of our humour.
	And it's like a weekly topical political podcast.
	A bit like this.
	So I would never plug it on this show.
	Here was just Dixon Johnson.
	That's good.
	That's good.
	Hey, you can come on as a guest.
	That would be so perfect.
	When Paul's away on hold, I'm going to bring you on just for that purpose.
	Dixon don't even care about your knowledge.
	Special guest.
	Special guest in Dixon Cox.
	Yeah, is Johnson.
	Johnson, he knows a cost of johnson.
	That's brilliant.
	So, yes, it's a political topical podcast we do every week on my YouTube and my Nicknicks.net.
	I would never plug it here, but since he's brought it up, I could say it, I won't say it, but I'm doing the Trump.
	A lot of people are asking me to say it, but I wouldn't.
	Many people would say, plug your podcast.
	I said, I'm not going to plug it, but it's Dickson Cox.
	Yeah, anyway, so that's what he's talking about there.
	Right.
	Okay, so we have ran out of comments, and we are going to see you at 3 p.m. during Lad's Hour.
