	Who are the men that pick for scraps amongst the ruins at the end of history?
	You should know because you encounter them every day.
	Between the towering buildings of a fallen empire, we find the Felahen, 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 Felahen condition is the subject we explore in issue four 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 delios and i'm joined today by brother luca and brother nick for the greater good for the greater good and we are going to discuss a mob attacking big balls ant 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 Corristeen 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.
	are just talking about it.
	And we are going to 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 fact 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 even got Ed Dutton in there.
	Dutton, the miscreant.
	Yes.
	Right, so ex-Doge staffer nicknamed Big Bulls Left Bloodied 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...
	Edward Coristeen was there, also known as Big Bulls, 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, let's., let's, we're not going to show some pictures of him.
	They're all over the internet, but we're not going to 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 delivery.
	So in a sense, you could say this is over promising, but it's not under delivery.
	And over delivery.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right.
	So be 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's see here the Wikipedia article about him, just very briefly.
	He is nineteen 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 GS 15 in the General Services Administration at the end of May 2025.
	Correstine resigned weeks later in June before taking a job at the Social Security Administration.
	So 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.
	And character-wise, it seems like he totally deserves it.
	And also, if we judge according to outcome, because I don't think Elon would just give him a job like that if he 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 even, 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, mugging, 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...
	where he says here basically that they need to straighten their act out and unless they do in DC he is going to federalize Washington DC 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.
	Yes.
	Right now, because they don't have a state, they're not a state, the question is, who are they going to ask for?
	That's why Trump says that unless they straighten their act out, the 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 asking 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 DC 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.
	You also see here Marion Barry, who was mayor four times.
	And I've been told by neon realists that he was there's a very classic clip of him.
	He was he was smoking crack with a prostitute and he was 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, you know.
	Oh, right.
	Only she set him up.
	He had no responsibility for what 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 the crack, but how dare you?
	And he just like points at her.
	And it's like, it's like David Brent, you made me do it.
	You remember when he just put him?
	putting us in.
	So you have a bunch of structures that made me do it.
	Yeah.
	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 can, 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.
	Right.
	And even anyone like Trump says something and other people write it, he's responsible for that.
	You're even 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 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.
	pyro u.s attorney in dc she's a she's um affiliated to trump and she was now um she became a u.s attorney now and she says essentially that youth violence is on the rise across the country and uh 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 is 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 ninety nine homicides so far this year.
	There's no doubt that Washington, DC 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 car jackings that are up 111 percent.
	The problem in DC and President Trump in his effort to make DC 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.
	Ten 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 a family court where the effort is rehabilitation.
	The D.C. council, and the president is right, they've got a 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 DC.
	We've got an intern, you said it in your open.
	He's an intern from a 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 gotten him on the ground they would have stomped him and finished him.
	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 Terapinian Joachim 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 D.C. Police said police and congressional officials identified the victim as Eric Terapinian Joachim of Granby 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, our opinion, Joaquim 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 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 Portland and Leapholes.
	No, absolutely terrible.
	Yes, and I think that this is particularly bad when we have this codlin mentality that has been communicated by the left because essentially they are saying our protected people our people are not essentially never liable for wrongdoing and i think that people need to wake up to this and understand that the left is 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 the criminal is the victim of society as you sort of said before but the victim this is the leftist think of society itself as the oppressor you know these kind of rousseauian terms whereas you know you're stopping the people just doing what they would do they're held down by some force so the the criminal is the victim and yeah well and also just you know from a cultural perspective just the
	of crime uh 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 then um you know and this is this is what the left is all about remember the defond the police call for the blm and just look at how a or c That's how AOC and Zora and Mandani 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 himself.
	Remember that woman in Seattle being attacked?
	I can't remember what role she was, but she was the one who said defund the police.
	I think it was Seattle.
	It could have been somewhere else.
	The woman said defund the police.
	Then she got attacked.
	She was a Democrat.
	She went, Hang on, we need more police.
	Let's fund it again.
	Don't 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, you've got to pull it out and put it back in.
	I did, but it's...
	It's the classic.
	Turn it off and on again.
	Put it back in.
	Yeah, yeah, it doesn't work.
	So...
	All right.
	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.
	So he got himself big balls on LinkedIn.
	Yeah.
	He said people, who take themselves too seriously and they're too risk-averse.
	So in this one gesture, he sort of cast 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 Stelios.
	I love you too as well.
	Thank you very much.
	Now, I love just one thing.
	I really like how fellahine sounds like protein, creatine, fellahine.
	Count your macros.
	Get some fellahine and buy Islander 4.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Let's get it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	right kim let's see okay well it's not working well as long as you're fine mine's fine i'm fine with mine's working Yours works.
	I got a special.
	We're okay.
	Yeah, mine works.
	You've got to know the text, Elios.
	You've got to be a pretty talented.
	So, do you want to do my bit?
	You haven't been working there as long as Nick.
	You used to do the old office.
	Yeah, it's true.
	It's good to know the old office.
	Things are different.
	Do my bit?
	Yeah?
	I plugs, 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.
	Lots 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.
	Bigly.
	Maybe you can do one of my talking streams with me, which I've been planning to do.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do streams now.
	I would never plug my own channel while I'm here, but I do streams on my channel.
	Don't subscribe to Nick's channel.
	On my YouTube.
	So that's Islander.
	Go and check it out.
	Where, what's the Islander link?
	Shop thingy.
	Right there on the shop dot seats dot 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, but it's not going to play, doesn't matter.
	It can play.
	It doesn't matter.
	But that was just going to be in the background while we talked, but with the sound off.
	I thought we just, so we can see the man himself in all his glory.
	So for 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 whole 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 the serving in the Royal Marines, the nine 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 boats that need to be shot.
	So this is a serious dude.
	I mean, something that very few people in Parliament would could claim twelve dollars.
	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 bit 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 kind 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 racists?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
	How could we be racists?
	She's a Muslim.
	Yeah, there's lots 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 Reforms mayor or 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.
	Body blah.
	And it goes on and says he's not being replaced because he's not the candidate.
	It even says, like, Leila'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 exit expert topic but he but he anyway you'll see soon why he could never be the reform mayor but it's right just one thing if I may as well with that in terms of like oh should it be Anne should it be um Leila for the mayor a reform candidate doesn't matter because they're not going to win right neither of them are going to win it can't be Salih Khan right so you're not going to be 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 like us who obviously hate him with a passion, but just like average Londoners who hated him because of all the Urez stuff.
	Oh yeah.
	You know, because when I worked in London, I didn't go a day without some Londoner just complaining about Urez, and that wasn't enough at all, you know.
	So even things things in London can get tangibly worse year after year, and it doesn't really affect his consolidation of power at all.
	You know who else hates Sadiq Khan?
	Muslim taxi drivers.
	You talk 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 he likes him, but like you say, it's impossible to get rid of.
	Anyway, but he was, Ant was never going to stand.
	So back in June, Charlie Sampson said, I'm getting told by sources in Reform UK that Ant Middleton is not being considered for mayor.
	And then Ant replies, Incorrect, Charlie, we're still very much aligned.
	Oh, he said he was 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 clarified 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're like BBC verify here.
	And oh yeah, I know what this is.
	For a second I looked at it and I go, what the heck can I have the mouse?
	Can I scroll?
	Let's see if I can scroll.
	We have 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 Layla will actually be the candidate.
	Well, it does say here that to quote Tim Shipman in 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.
	Look at that.
	So anyway, that was just to say that she'll probably be the candidate.
	And we all know that's definitely what they're playing.
	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 Stelios, 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.
	Well, to be fair to you, I don't think you were pining after a cabinet position, were you?
	No, getting elected is not my style.
	He said to me, you 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 Sadik Khan and says we're a Christian country.
	That's a pretty bold policy to just announce that.
	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 remarkkably 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 just, we need to reverse the Boris wave, right?
	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 under 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 have to be thorough in the military, Luca.
	You have to go.
	He's got third, three generations.
	Some people didn't like this, including since you mentioned the Tories, a conservative politician, Ben Obese Jekty, who said, I've I've I've, have you got a history with this guy?
	No, it's the way you laugh.
	He's only costly called obese.
	Oh, yeah, it's hilarious.
	Yeah, I mean, it's ridiculous.
	I've pointed out that I'm the child.
	You should have Ben Kenobi.
	You have Ben Obese.
	It's tough, isn't it?
	But anyway, I've pointed out that you could really not get fat with that name.
	You couldn't even get slightly fat.
	You know what I mean?
	He's just going to be called them, but you could be like, he's going to be the thinnest guy you've ever seen his whole.
	That's the one advantage.
	I've pointed out Ant Middleton's insuitability and ineligibility to be the mayor of London on a number of occasions, given he's already been to prison for salting a police officer, but this level of open racism shows who he really is once he lets the mask slip.
	Ant did have a little bit of a problem when he got out of the military of sparking bloks out in his hometown.
	You get out of the military, your job has been to kill people for the Queen and Country, our 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 are we going to do?
	Punch a lot of people.
	So he had a bad time and he, but if you read his book, his court case was he 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's he calls him racist and it'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, Ben.
	Not so much now, buddy.
	Let me tear that card off 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, it's 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 PR, 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 Miripur in Pakistan?
	Probably not.
	He's probably going to like reduce spending on the Miripur airport, maybe halt that project.
	And he's saying halt all Pakistani visas for twelve months.
	I think that's quite reasonable.
	Yeah, I don't know what Obese is complaining about here.
	This is perfectly moderate.
	No, no, exactly.
	Zero tolerance.
	He wants absolutely why not?
	So that's one of his policies that he'd do as PM.
	I think he's just going to go.
	Just another thing about this as well, Nick is that 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 in 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, shut up.
	You know, we don't have time for this anymore.
	Ant would have kicked 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, They're looking like why can't we solve the small boats?
	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 was 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 method 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 will 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, yeah.
	I like the mathematical function that is used to calculate the punishment.
	There, isn't it?
	I mean, don't.
	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 out will be like, well, you call that a prison sentence, that's at least eighty centimeters..
	Can you imagine that?
	You'll get in jail for 80 years.
	I mean, I don't know, you know, the machete attacks as well.
	I mean, longer weapons.
	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.
	I'm not sure this is going to work.
	Do 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 till 12 a.m. you know, on that show and they three times a week they took away the taxis.
	Oh, budgetary reasons.
	And I was like, now I'm going to get a chance a tube at 12:00 a.m., which is just a dystopian apocalyptic nightmare.
	You don't see anything like it.
	No shoes, chicken bones, screaming, fights, drugs.
	I'm just like, so you sometimes think, maybe I get an Uber cheaper, but I know what you mean.
	Anyway, Ant says there's 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 Ant says that's that is very much the case.
	I look forward to 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 will be part of England's crown jewel transportation.
	Crown Jewel Transport Experience, Working Title.
	See?
	He's got a lot of ideas.
	Dead to Dream.
	Wouldn't you love that, though, and as mayor?
	It would 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.
	Loyalty 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 in 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, you're used to hierarchy.
	So I think it's significant, although you're completely right, it's significant when someone like that.
	You don't have to be a brainless.
	No.
	And he certainly isn't.
	Because if you look at his next tweets, just the level of vitriol 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 Anne says, when it arrives at your doorstep and immediately affects you and your children, which it will if this continues, it will be 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 prioritise so they prioritise 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, 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 4 doing a reality show, SAS Who Dares Wins, and he had 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 like 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 he and 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 right 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, don't trust the police telling you that you don't have the right to protest.
	Good point.
	As we saw with South Park.
	Also, you know, 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 kind 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 greatly compromised and need to rip apart, restructure 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 and it's not the police of individual officers, it's the political organization of the Met.
	So someone says to him, well, what about your sort of sitting at home like a keyboard where you're inciting people?
	And he says, and not sacrificing anything yourself.
	And he says, no, no, my sacrifices have been plentiful.
	And I have 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 misjudge the reply so the person talking 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 at least they will know i am doing it by getting involved i'd just like to make a point on that as well about um sacrificing just the current moment as well because um to um if i dare to bring it back to what we were saying about the lord of rings briefly nick as well one of the main points of course of
	the lord of 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 you know down further down the line can enjoy the things that you sacrifice for and Ant seems to be very very conscious of you know when he talks about you know the older generations you know he understands the great chain of being he understands the Birkean 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.
	That'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, but these are 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'd 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 neighbors 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 his 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, et cetera.
	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.
	He'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, because he just looks like you sort of, you know, a rich, greedy villain.
	He's like, Fat Bloke.
	You can imagine the movie scene and just appears 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 Monday White British girl.
	Racism and bullying is despicable, must never go unchallenged.
	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 reformed 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 to say we need a native Brit such as myself taking care of and protecting our historic capital city.
	Not many people saying stuff like that, you know?
	No.
	And what's more, all of the great landmarks that London is associated with, you know, 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, it's 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 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's a dimension of symbolism.
	Your capital needs to have a particular kind of character.
	Yes.
	That's why, for instance, if you look at London, 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.
	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, 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, all 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, I can 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, and 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 is sort of of leave London, they post about it and they say, Thank God I'm out of there, and 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.
	So definitely.
	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 and from Cumberland in the north, and that's how I'll always think of it as 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.
	That's where you're going to, 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's 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.
	It's like White House down and stuff like that, just crappy.
	Olympus has fallen.
	Yeah, Olympus has fallen, all these action films.
	London has fallen.
	Yeah.
	But like the idea of, well, where's the most, where's the biggest threat, you know, in a film for them to occupy?
	It's not New York, it's not Los Angeles, right?
	No, it's like taking Washington.
	You just take, you go straight for the capital.
	Yeah.
	And you lose the capital, it inevitably falls.
	That morale is going to shatter, and it does enormous psychic damage to the nation.
	Yeah.
	And this is what I love, is Ant's boldness of saying, I'm a native Brit, we should have me run the capital.
	And that's, that's true.
	And that would make a huge difference.
	And that just that idea is man matter when you have 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 we've got, but I thought I'd end on some fun, random, mad tweets from Anders of pure just for some bants 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 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 pure 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 I'm just proposing a tax strike, which is the most Yeah, just think of the level of social engineering they're trying to do and people like Tadi Khan are engaged in.
	All of it's 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.
	And it's just like, Yeah, stop paying your tax.
	I'm the new mayor.
	I just think that Jimmy Kyle's just like, Yeah yeah, all right.
	Way 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 he's like, all right, Ant, guy that used to kill people for a living.
	What?
	You mean by the ultimate price?
	He's just like, I don't even know what it means, but it's just.
	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 Anne in trouble, so I think he's probably making a spiritual claim.
	Just to end on, Narinda has said something stupid about him insulting a police officer, which he says he didn't, a female one, sorry.
	And Ant says fake news from a fake Brit, hashtag not welcome.
	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.
	We've landed it.
	What we do is we find a city in England that Ant could win, maybe York or something, right?
	Somewhere with a city or Durham, somewhere with a Golding.
	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 you'd love that.
	But I love you thinking, mate.
	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.
	You know what I mean?
	Like heavily armed.
	Because 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 i sort of breaks down them i go to him and builds them up he's like that's what we got to do safe border get our identity established it'll be like a brutally fortified and look at the vantage points you could have from the top of the cathedral you know it's a great idea um all right that is my bit um do we have to read something from somewhere yeah yeah okay right so
	we have TomRat247 Middleton is the Heinleinist candidate we need and deserve right OPH UK we don't need to fund an airport in Miripur if we just parachute drop them out somewhere over Pakistan did you not read that for a reason then I just read it you know I was thinking is this Feddy or not and I just went for
	it parachutes are perfectly safe in the whole that whole section is a bit fetty to be honest that we should have probably said anyway 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 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.
	What did 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.
	Islander.
	Terrible, terrible segway.
	Actually a good segway.
	Oh well, I thought so.
	Far too self-deprecating.
	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.
	Morgoth.
	And you've got Sting on the cover, I'm not quite sure why, but.
	No, no, that's Rory.
	Okay.
	That's Rory.
	He posed for it, and we shaved his head.
	I did.
	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'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.
	uh who is honestly you know you just get those left wing reply guys on 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 opened 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 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 country's 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, so I'm trying to understand what he and his brother are going on about, generally speaking.
	And I think that...
	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 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 blamed the rich.
	Even if, and I agree with you, Stelios, but even if, say, for argument's sake, that his economic presuppositions about inequality drive increase.
	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 according to, 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.
	Can I say one thing?
	He's only even saying this caveat because they've been savage so many times on Twitter, getting monked.
	Because he's saying, I know they'll say that.
	Because the left is not even, they're not even aware of these arguments.
	Now they've 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 ritual suicide and disbelieve themselves out of pure shame.
	You know what I mean?
	Even the two in Japan is like, ah, the streets are not safe.
	They're dishonourable.
	But he's completely wrong by the way, because Dr. Paul Mullen has talked about this.
	Japan, have you heard him talk about the trilemma?
	He says that when you have low birth rates, there's only 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 chose ethnocentrism and egoism as in not having children, so they've lost some of the economic growth.
	That's what's the case.
	While, like, Israel has got the ethnocentrism, so they have a higher birth rate and they've got and they've got the economic growth, they haven't got the egotism of not having children.
	So we've chosen in this country economic growth and the egotism of not having children, but we've lost what he's calling the ethnocentrism.
	And we didn't even get the economic growth.
	We didn't in the end even get it.
	So you can only get one of them.
	But that's what most, you know, that's.
	what most, you know, he's saying he's saying something else about Japan.
	But also notice how the word culture doesn't appear 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, 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 all of them, all these 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, you know, 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 here, 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 stress, strict immigration laws a homogeneous 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 immigrant wife if you truly believe that?
	again, Brian, right?
	Whether or not, like, again, like, for a guy...
	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 the his policies Brian the You know, they're really crazy.
	Terrible.
	They're going to post something that's really stupid.
	Then everyone's going to give them millions of views.
	Engagement fund.
	Yeah, because we're going to go ballistic over it.
	Yeah, and they get money.
	Yeah, that's what Nurin the Curdo does.
	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 that 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 law fair that you've just done.
	Yeah.
	They're like, well, he's a convicted felon.
	They thought that was actually going to to work because 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.
	Yeah.
	Finish.
	Yeah.
	You actually have to also oversee the policy on 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?
	I 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, it already contradicts himself.
	Well, no, but if you've been here for three years, then you're what?
	Not illegal anymore.
	Tom Thorman always said, just send the family back as well.
	Yeah, yeah, but.
	Yeah.
	I'm a cook for massively increasing the funding to expedite the immigration process.
	I believe in securing the border responsibly whilst ensuring compassion for those 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 Sansai Sito party
	has been able to get itself up and running based on the fact that people just don't want this right they just they 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.
	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, San Francisco 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 ago.
	Yeah, again, award.
	So if I go on as well, he's pro-legal immigration.
	and the H1B visas because that's real American first.
	Here's a shit lib 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...
	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.
	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 sexual 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?
	And 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 plot of land, our house, looks presentable from the front.
	You know, all those old Pather, British Pather videos, you know, just women out sweeping their doorsteps every morning and all that just, like, quaint stuff.
	Like, those days are gone.
	Yeah, that's what 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 Kuan Yew couldn't believe 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.
	Maybe that's why he gets such good engagement on it.
	Maybe it is.
	He's a new tech bro with Elon.
	Well, I mean, I personally don't believe that.
	One thing to, so apologies.
	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 Krasensteins is like the more on party.
	I mean, Elon Musk 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 Krasenstein ticket?
	Yeah.
	Just dual vice presidents and just because they're one I always think they're like one weird person.
	Co-counsels of the Republic.
	Imagine you have VP Brian Krasenstein.
	To be fair, Musk is kind of, he 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 weirdness.
	He'd be like, I'm the normal one.
	I think I'm sorry, look at these guys.
	That's all that's 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 bored and complacent and soft.
	Soft times, quick.
	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.
	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.
	ass motherfucker.
	And yeah, but obviously there are considerable 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 is 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.
	Like, 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 of you hear about the cleanliness and all 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, right?
	They are madmen when it comes to, like, cycling.
	Absolute madmen.
	Like, yeah, if the light is red.
	red then they won't cross the road but otherwise I was in a sack and I saw a woman texting one-handed down a busy market stall with a baby in the front basket just like this crowds just parting everything it's like so you know there is some chaos in there as well yeah also there is it is it is it true that the battle royale was not fiction I don't know.
	That's something I'll have to look into.
	Well, it definitely wasn't fiction back in the 1400s.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's for sure.
	That's for sure.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I've not seen it.
	We've got two generations that were a bit not disrespectful of the elders.
	So they said, every year we're going to pick a class.
	Make them just fight each other to death.
	I'll have to watch the movie, to be honest.
	I saw it 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, are, as he points out, they are in some ways a choice.
	Of course they are a choice, but the people who inhabit your nation make up those choices.
	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 But all right, let's go to the comments.
	Yeah, I'll read through these.
	Okay.
	If I can drag my mouse.
	you.
	Skittenhund says, we Oh, did we?
	The next one is habsification.
	right.
	Deranged woke leftists go to a country that is ethnically and culturally homogenous and sees the the Sees the country function properly.
	Yeah, you see, true communism works.
	The mass immigration would be happy with happy with, sorry, is East Asian bikini models.
	I'm sure it would, Logan.
	I'm sure it would.
	That's where you need to be inclusive.
	Where would you, Greek bikini models?
	No, no, I'm inclusive.
	Bikini models.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Like Lizzo.
	Yeah.
	Oh, it's this way.
	Sorry, I think I was going.
	Yeah, sorry, people keep moving.
	The mass immigration.
	Yes, sorry.
	Habsburgs, strange, woke leftists, also want same proper functioning system in his own country but advocates everything that is against a properly functioning system.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Habsdokation again.
	Oh, sorry.
	It's a, oh no.
	Deranged-woke leftist gets all his policies, all the policies he advocates for, results are nothing like the homogeneous country and gets worse results.
	Leftist is confused.
	Why not the same results?
	Yeah.
	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 could say a comment about Asian people and how, no, I won't.
	I was halfway there, but I won't.
	Are you a lib?
	You've got some standards gone.
	The Engage Few, the only notice the condemned deserve is that first glimpse of the scaffold they're sending.
	See, he's taking it to a next level.
	Like, you call that base, he's like, no, no, no, not told on the morning.
	Engage Few's Ant Middleton posting.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	Tell them seconds before.
	They don't even tell them, they see it.
	Jarhad says, I do hope Great Britain gets itself together.
	It would be rather heartbreaking if the land of my ancestors and its landmarks that gave us our name were suddenly renamed by the invaders.
	Don't worry, Jarhad, we've got this.
	And Habsification says there is a solution to the great switcheroo.
	Get married and have ten kids.
	So everyone on the panel have a duty to get married and have ten kids.
	I'm far too busy working at the lotus seaters these days, to be honest with you.
	But I'll add it to the list, Habsification.
	I'm just one away.
	I've got the nine scattered around the country.
	Right.
	So let's go to the video comments.
	First one.
	Michael Drebbelbensky 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 it.
	What a ridiculous name.
	It's still, yeah, maybe they were calling your party, you too.
	They'll totally end up just calling it your party.
	Bonno was prime minister.
	Yay.
	You need to be on the spectrum itself to be considered English.
	Magnificently put together.
	Nice.
	Right.
	Do we have any?
	Right.
	Let's go to the written comments.
	Let's go.
	First of all, I want to say, Roman Observer, what you said about Lizzo on the live chat was absolutely hilarious.
	Couldn't stop laughing.
	He said Lizzo is all plural by herself.
	Right.
	Okay.
	So Omar Awad says, even if big balls doesn't have the big fists to match on 10-1 odds, no less, where would you ever find such an example on the left?
	Does anyone believe Daniel Penny's a far leftist?
	Even their memes and 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 knife thing 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 press charges against the killer and then went on to vote for Mamdani.
	Yeah.
	Genuine scum.
	Just look at how they treat Luigi Mandioni as the name.
	Yeah.
	It's actually, they stand for the killer.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do.
	Don't make me read some of these still, Elsa.
	do you want to I don't know how sometimes I'm just trying to help out.
	There's a lot of them though.
	So Lord Nevera 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 on my watch.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Maybe he'll still help them with security stuff, but he won't be mayor.
	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 debaters, 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 handwaves 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 nonce?
	I don't know if we're allowed to say that for you just did.
	We're not on YouTube now.
	No, that's what I was thinking, but I was thinking what a car's real name.
	This is a safe space, Nick, for you.
	Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure I can say anything about Zia without getting.
	I don't want to get cars sued, so maybe we'll skip on.
	There are so many.
	So thank you for the comments, though.
	Geordie 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 officer's mess with.
	He was promoted on the spot, given some men and told to get on with it.
	Two Lot TLDR, the SBS are absolute madmen.
	That is, that's Lord Mile.
	I'm going to look into that.
	That's yeah, a remarkable story.
	You drift through.
	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 Sadik can't say diversity one more time, you will hear the sounds of my plates smashing from Swindon.
	Fair.
	Richard Johnson, I use court cases being lowered to sixteen in the UK or eighteen when they get the right to vote.
	After all, if they can vote in the country, should they not 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 sixteen, we're going to have to say they're adults if you're going to be at a vote.
	Yeah, just one thing about what Jimbo was saying about Sadik 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?
	twenty fourteen wants his politicians.
	Oh God, yeah, honestly.
	It's like, no, no, no, Sadiq, we're so far past this, mate.
	Yeah.
	It's a mate.
	We're so far on.
	He was saying he wanted to show Trump round the mosque, wasn't he?
	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.
	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, what about all these mosques?
	It'll just be like, yeah, showing Trump a lot ofosque in Tower Hamlet.
	Wow.
	Here's where we keep the weapons.
	Yeah, here's where the police told us to put our arms.
	There we stash the weapons because we have our own police.
	Anyway.
	Lord Inquisitor Hector X. Luke, my disappointment is measurable that it's not Carl 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.
	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.
	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 we call our allies for all the you know the minorities when you 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, 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.
	I've 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 Malone is serious.
	No, she's not.
	No, she's a complete charlatan.
	complete charlatan.
	Omar Awad says, the Krasenstein were 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 your Vestelios.

	Or maybe I should have just had 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.

	Very witty.
	Yeah, that's the level of our humour.

	Anyway, so that's what he's talking about there.
	Right.
	Okay.
