	Hello and welcome to the podcast of The Lotus Eaters, episode 1264 for Wednesday, the 1st of October 2025.
	I'm your host, Brother Luca, joined today by Brother Harry and Brother Stelios.
	Hello, hello, brother Luca.
	I already left this cult, alright?
	You're not drawing me back in, no matter how softly you sing Roy Orbison songs to me.
	I know, I know.
	I never take the brotherhood out of Harry.
	But today we're going to be discussing threat.
	Yes.
	Well, we're going to be talking about how Labour are trying to keep our brothers down.
	How Labour have declared war on us.
	And then we're going to talk about how Trump has declared war on Portland.
	And then we're going to be talking about how New York has basically declared war on itself.
	So the theme for this podcast is war.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Total, unabashed warfare.
	All right.
	So.
	Harry, get my segment on the screen, please.
	Please.
	Brother Harry, other brother.
	Okay.
	Thanks, ma'am.
	Harry from another family.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Here's a brother from another mother.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	It only makes sense.
	Anyway, so the Labour Party conference is now.
	We've already seen some pretty spectacular statements come from it.
	But the most spectacular one that's come so far, and I think it's the last day of the conference today.
	It goes to the 1st of October, which if I am not incorrect, is today, has been that Keir Starmer has declared war on the English people, or at the very least, English people who aren't going to vote for him and are going to vote for Nigel Farage.
	Before you ask, because I saw people talking about it in the YouTube chat, no, we're not doing the Labour Conference compilations anymore.
	Callum used to do those because he was the only man with the stomach to sit through at least an entire day's worth, 24 hours worth of Labour Party conference content.
	Nobody in the office is willing to do that now.
	Okay, so we're not doing those anymore.
	Sadly, if we could get him back to do them, I would, but we can't.
	So we're just going with the highlights.
	And this announcement of war from Keir Starmer against the English people is actually part of, what is at this point, a very protracted series of slap fights between Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage, wherein from a media K-Feb perspective,
	looking at this from pure wrestling terms, I can see a distinct heel-babyface dynamic being set up where Nigel Farage, so far this year, has been a bit of a failing babyface.
	Think 2007 John Cena.
	He's supposed to be the guy that you're rooting for, but he keeps making mistakes.
	The crowd's a little bit tired of him.
	He's starting to get some booze.
	So what do you need for a flagging babyface?
	You need a good heel.
	And Keir Starmer has decided to step right up into that.
	And Keir Starmer is a natural-born bad guy.
	As we know, I've looked into his evil past before when he was just a human rights lawyer.
	We've seen him announce digital IDs, which, as far as I'm aware, was not a plank on the Labour Manifesto.
	He does everything wrong.
	He hates you, and he's happy for you to know it.
	So who better to make Nigel Farage look good than Keir Starmer?
	Right?
	And as I say, this is just a series of escalating slap fights.
	Nigel Farage puts out something saying, Keir Starmer is not fit to be the Prime Minister.
	There's no point in playing this.
	It's everything that you expect it to be.
	But this goes back to like May here, where Nigel Farage plays a compilation of Keir Starmer saying his name about 16 or 17 times within the same speech.
	Because again, politics is all about friend-enemy dynamics.
	Therefore, you need the enemy.
	Keir Starmer has named Nigel Farage as the enemy and therefore any supporters of his as the enemy as well.
	I'm just imagining quickly, sorry, just Kemi Badenock watching that clip, just going, I wish he just mentioned me once.
	No.
	Nobody cares about Kenny Badenock.
	Nobody remembers Kemi Badenock.
	No.
	Isn't she that Nigerian?
	Yes.
	Yeah, which...
	She wants to be Prime Minister of Britain, you know.
	What's the...
	Is she a Yagoomba?
	What are the ethnicities in Nigeria?
	I don't know.
	I don't have to know, actually.
	A Yawewe?
	Maybe.
	Okay.
	She's a Yuewe Nigerian.
	I remember the video of Starmer punching.
	Right.
	So imagine in a wrestling match.
	No.
	No.
	That would be.
	You don't want to imagine Keir Starmer in a leotard.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, but you'd be so disappointed and annoyed that I'd find it funny.
	This is very sus behavior right now.
	Either way, you know, Keir Starmer comes out.
	Remember earlier this year and towards the end of last year, where Keir Starmer was starting to engage in a little bit of the fire brand right-wing rhetoric himself, particularly with the Island of Strangers speech.
	This was very clearly a coordinated PR thing to try and get him some good press following the absolute disaster that was his response to the Southport riots last year and his crackdown on people engaging in free speech online.
	So we had good guy Starmer.
	Gone.
	Gone forever.
	That PR campaign has been completely abandoned.
	Tony Blair has set his sights on Gaza and becoming, I don't know, the caliph of Gaza instead now.
	So instead of like micromanaging Labour from behind the scenes, he's focusing on something else.
	So Keir Starmer has reverted to type, which means that Britain is a beautiful, tolerant and diverse country.
	And reform don't agree with our brand new British values, values that were established five minutes ago, but are retrospectively put across all of the time that Britain has been a thing.
	Going back to before the Roman invasions, we've always been interested in tolerance and diversity, I assume.
	So he's going back to the old rhetoric.
	If you support reform, then you're not racist, or at least I won't say that you're racist, but I will imply that you are racist, as will all of my other people in the cabinet right now.
	And this is carried on.
	This is carried on into the Labour Party conference.
	But one of the funny things about this conference is, as well as targeting the right, Keir Starmer is really just like checking in his neoliberal centre-left brownie points right now.
	He's trying to re-establish himself as a sensible centre of sorts by also marginalizing figures of the far left, including people like Owen Jones, who, as you can see in this Guardian article here, is very, very salty that he was not included in the Labour Party conference so that he could snipe and whine and moan and do all of those things that Owen Jones is known for doing.
	Asking intelligent or relevant questions is not one of them.
	So, you know, the Labour Party conference is not missing out on his presence, shall we say?
	But despite the lack of Owen Jones, they were still finally able to solve a question that has been at the heart of British politics and particularly the most pressing question in many Englishmen's minds, which is, is what's happening in Gaza a genocide right now?
	Labour Party says yes.
	Amidst all of the problems that England and Britain as a whole is facing, this is one thing that the Labour Party voters could be united in.
	Now, I'm not saying that you're not allowed to be concerned about geopolitical events across the entire world, but there is this thing called priorities.
	And I feel that Labour should get its priorities straight if, as they keep repeating during this conference, they're looking to have a kind of national renewal.
	This is the big line that they're going for.
	National renewal, a Britain built for all, national renewal.
	The Tories left us in a right state.
	We need to pull it out of the gutter and renew the country for our national renewal.
	Anyway, Gaza.
	Bit of a non-sequitur.
	They constantly care about this issue way more than they care about domestic ones.
	Perhaps the renewal.
	Well, that's because most of that's because a lot of their voters are not from domestic territory.
	Well, that says a lot.
	Well, that's what I was going to say.
	It's a renewal of loyalty to their actual voter base.
	But also, they are trying to rebrand their group, say their alliances, as a form of fatherland, to which you can be patriotic, because you can't be patriotic without being patriotic to a land and to a country.
	And they're using this rhetoric right now, just like Kirstama.
	You mentioned he was talking about the Islands of Strangers speech, then he changed.
	Rhetorically speaking, he is a bit like Schrödinger's Enoch Powell.
	And now they are trying to talk about national renewal.
	The question is, what are they renewing?
	And let's just face it, nations, countries, they're just exclusive.
	You can't have a country of all people.
	It's not humanity at large.
	they're renewing the post-war order.
	They're just going straight back to the post-Blair paradigm, the post-Boris wave paradigm, where they're saying at the same time, obviously Boris letting in all of these people was against the wishes of the people.
	However, if you dare say anything like perhaps they shouldn't all be given indefinite leave to remain for purely the sake of having shown up and claimed benefits, that that means that you are, well, we won't say racist, but you know what they mean.
	You know what they're thinking.
	But also not a member of the new effort to renew the nation.
	You're an enemy to us.
	You're an enemy of the people.
	Well, it's again.
	A national enemy.
	It's friend.
	It's friend enemy.
	They explicitly call you an enemy in the speech that I'm going to play in a moment.
	But it really is just saying, like, if you're not for our policies, then you're against us and we're against you.
	Yes.
	And we will bring everything in our power against you, which means we know how far Keir Starmer likes to go.
	Thank you for spelling it out to the general public.
	Yeah.
	There was other weird stuff going on.
	You know, typical like trade union stuff where a load of school children were being bussed into the conference by teachers so that they could hand out leaflets campaigning for free school lunches, free school dinners, which on its face is not like the most horrible policy,
	but given the demographic makeup of this country and how it's changing and birth rates across the country, all this is as another subsidy for minorities, for ethnic outsiders, children, so that, oh, I moved to England and I'm only claiming however so much in benefits, give my kids free meals as well.
	While English people are struggling to afford to pay their bills, they're struggling to afford the taxes that are being lumped onto them.
	This will just be just another stipend for foreigners coming into this country so that their kids don't have to struggle the same way that our children do.
	That's all this is.
	again you get a load of kids bust in from the school and then the teachers say well it's the children the children wants yeah of course children want free food Obviously, offer children free food.
	They'll say yes.
	Okay, so this is not some kind of grassroots thing.
	They're just doing it for the optics of it.
	Either way, so here's some of the most recent speeches that came from yesterday.
	Most of it is from Keir Starmer, but what's her name?
	Shabana.
	Shabana Mahmood.
	Yes, she also had some interesting things to say as well.
	So here is Keir Starmer reaffirming his love of free speech in this country.
	Thank you, Conference.
	Free speech.
	Free speech.
	Free speech is a British value and we have guarded it for centuries.
	You're a liar.
	We have.
	You haven't.
	You're an absolute liar, Keir Starmer.
	Nobody believes you.
	Here he is, where he, this is the clip, this is the one where he declares war on all of us.
	We already knew that he treated patriotic, nationalistic English people as his, like, mortal enemies.
	But like you say, it's nice for him to say it out loud for everybody.
	And conference.
	If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed heritage families owe you an explanation.
	The people who've lived here for generations raised their children here, built their lives here, working in our schools, our hospitals, running businesses are our neighbours.
	If you say they should now be deported, then mark my words.
	We will fight you with everything we have because you are the enemy of national renewal.
	There you go.
	National renewal, which is purely here so that the entire world can use us as a pit stop.
	The thing he says as well, though, is like, oh, that have lived here for generations.
	Right.
	Yeah, but there are some groups here that have lived on these islands for longer than two generations.
	I see a man who is losing.
	And he has to use the, he understands that the times are changing and he has to change his rhetoric and he has to appeal to the nation.
	Well, it's an attempt at strong rhetoric, but frankly, Keir Starmer cannot do anything without appearing as though he's a deer in headlights.
	The man just looks perpetually starstruck and terrified.
	He does not project strength, no matter how loudly he wants to project his voice.
	He sounds like a nervous school headmaster.
	That makes him more dangerous.
	That makes him more dangerous.
	No, I can see where you're coming from there.
	But again, the whole thing, I hate the argument of skin colour, skin colour, skin colour.
	It's deeper than that.
	It's about ancestry.
	It's about roots to the nation.
	It's about your heritage.
	The very fact that you can speak of mixed heritage backgrounds means that there are backgrounds that are not from here.
	Therefore, not British.
	I hate the use of Britain and British as a coverall civic identity.
	I can understand under the Empire how it shifted to that.
	But it is a coverall umbrella term for Welsh, English, Scottish, Northern Irish, and don't shoot me, Irish people.
	Okay?
	Okay?
	Right.
	Just going to leave it at that.
	That's what British means.
	If you have the passport, that does not suddenly change your national heritage.
	That's not how these things work.
	I will leave it at that.
	There was the further parts of the speech where he started moaning about Nigel Farage because, again, heel babyface dynamic.
	He's trying to cut a promo on Farage, essentially.
	Listen to politicians who tell you there's a quick fix, a miracle cure, tax cuts that magically pay for themselves.
	A wealth tax that somehow solves every problem.
	The Brexit lies on just a just the screen is broken.
	There we go.
	Just a heads up, this idea of tax cuts that pay for themselves.
	I mean, renewable energy, complete waste of money.
	And perhaps if you weren't paying huge government contracts for companies like Circo to just fly in to bus in illegal invaders into people's neighbourhoods and paying the landlords three grand a month for the benefit of doing so.
	I can think of ways that you can save money.
	I can think of ways that you could save money and pay for those tax cuts, but that's neither here nor there.
	It's ridiculous, isn't it?
	When he says, oh, there's no quick fix.
	It's like, well, you could deport all the illegals.
	You could deport the Boris Wave.
	You could cut off all of the, you know, like universal credit for all the migrants and the scroungers and everything.
	And it's like, there are so many things.
	Does that appeal to our diverse and multicultural values?
	No.
	It appeals to renewing Britain, though.
	In a genuine sense.
	Now you're speaking my language, Luca.
	Let's carry on.
	...on the side of that bus.
	Click here for your new country.
	Still going on about Brexit.
	We can all see these snake oil merchants on the right, on the left, but being no doubt.
	Sensible centre.
	Have any interest in national renewal?
	Because decline is good for their business.
	It's not actually a good idea.
	Come on.
	Think about it.
	When was the last time that you heard Nigel Farage say anything positive about Britain's future?
	He can't.
	He doesn't like.
	What is there positive to say?
	Britain doesn't believe in Britain.
	Wants you to doubt it just as much as he does.
	So he resorts to grievance.
	They all do.
	They want to turn this country, this proud, self-reliant country, into a competition of victims.
	Saying to you, to working people, don't trust in each other.
	You can't fix this.
	This is not a great country.
	But it is conference.
	It is a great country.
	It will always be a great country.
	That's right.
	What you heard there, folks, was Keir Starmer declaring that Nigel Farage is the woke, grievance-mongering, identity politics guy, whereas Keir Starmer is the true patriot with a national vision for the future that will make Britain great again.
	Not that they would ever, no, they would never go with something that catchy.
	It has to be renew Britain national renewal and other things.
	As far as promos go, poor showing.
	Paul's showing 2 out of 10, frankly.
	He looks scared the whole time.
	As Stelios and Luca have pointed out, it shows signs of weakness.
	The position is very much one of they're not on solid ground.
	They can see reform shooting ahead in the polls.
	How can we do something to make this better?
	I know you're woke.
	I'm the patriot.
	You're the soy jack.
	I'm the giga Chad.
	Jobs are good and also we hate you.
	I'm going to declare war on you.
	Not great.
	Not great.
	There's another one where he just says, who cares?
	He just says, oh, we oppose racism.
	Yeah, go on, go on, go on.
	Yeah, and but the thing is, we oppose racism at Kier.
	There is nothing you could ever possibly say that is going to talk me out of not wanting to become a minority in England.
	There's nothing you can say that is ever going to make me do a 180 on that position.
	So say what you want.
	You can say whatever you want.
	Nothing can convince me that Shobana Mahmood, who is not from here, is not of here and has no heritage here, is English.
	Did you learn Urdu in the family household, Harry, growing up?
	That English language.
	This may shock you.
	I've only ever spoken English and only took French and Spanish lessons in school begrudgingly.
	Acede.
	And I have never needed them.
	Good ma'am.
	Because if I just talk loudly and slowly at foreigners, they tend to pick up what I'm trying to tell them.
	That's what it means to be English.
	As is the English way.
	Obviously, she says that she says that Nigel Farage is worse than racist.
	There was also a clip of her speaking at the conference where during her speech she was saying that England is giving rise to ethno-nationalism and the idea that people like me can't be English.
	Oh, that's a travesty.
	No, you can't steal my racial and ethnic heritage, nor can you steal my identity.
	Generally speaking, if somebody says that what's mine is actually theirs as well, it's because they want to steal it from me.
	If somebody tells me that my heritage doesn't exist and I have no right or claim to it, that means that they want to erase me.
	And I take that as a declaration of war.
	Happily, they put it very, very clearly for me that they hate me and they don't want me to have any power within my own historic nation.
	So thanks for making it clear.
	There were other things, of course.
	Most of the news reporting was talking about Keir Starmer's speech and the pot shots against Nigel Farage, the tit for tat going on there.
	There was more announced here.
	If you even really care all that much, it will, of course, mean more spending.
	So probably higher taxes.
	He promises no higher taxes, but it will mean higher taxes.
	Keir Starmer said the government would scrap a commitment to get 50% of England's young people into university and it will be replaced for a target for two-thirds of young people to university or gold standard apprenticeships.
	Okay.
	To a waving sea of flags, Keir elaborated that the argument labour is a party of national renewal.
	Labour is the patriotic party.
	He said the flags of the UK belong to all of us and we will never surrender them, which is why foreigners get so scared and angry and violent if you put up an English flag near them, obviously.
	And he also spoke about the upcoming budget, which everybody knows is going to raise taxes.
	In his speech, he reflected on the last budget, which saw the Chancellor unveil £40 billion in tax rises, the biggest increase in a generation to money to pay for the NHS and to the public services.
	He said, we asked a lot at the last budget.
	I know that.
	And the tough decisions, they will keep on coming.
	But he rejected calls for a wealth tax and increases in borrowing to fund government spending.
	He said he would not cast off the constraints and indulge in ideological fantasy.
	He said that losing control of the economy means working people pay the price, and he promised I would never let that happen again.
	Tax rises.
	Like the government says we won't raise taxes, and then they raise taxes.
	That's not just labor.
	That's the Tories, and also Labour before them, and the Tories before them.
	Like, if you believed party manifesto promises, you'd think that taxes had never been raised.
	Ever.
	Because nobody ever promises to raise taxes.
	Weren't they also against digital IDs in the manifesto now talk about?
	And now they're forcing it through without any kind of vote.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, nobody announces these things in advance.
	Nobody puts these things to a vote.
	Nobody tells you in advance, we'll raise taxes.
	They'll tell you when they raise the taxes.
	Oh, by the way, we've done this.
	And then there'll be a sea of retards screaming, hooray, hooray, we're finally taxing the rich when really it always just comes back down to the poor.
	For the NHS, and they're talking about globally rich and globally poor, which means that everyone, the working classes of Western countries, count as globally rich.
	So they're using the welfare state, the NHS, in order to increase welfare spending for others.
	And by saying that we need to have patriotic renewal and our national renewal and our nation is not exclusive, they mean the entire world.
	Yep.
	Any everybody in the world is just an Englishman who hasn't got here yet.
	And all those millions of people who've arrived since after World War II.
	Nope.
	From you to have them in.
	But now that they are all here, not only have we had the policy, but we're now demanding what you must think of the policy and what you must think of the new arrivals.
	And what you must think, and it'll be war if you don't, is basically that they're just as English as you are.
	You're not allowed to be upset about it.
	Otherwise, we'll brand you a racist and probably arrest you for tweets or Facebook posts or something.
	Or, given the escalation of political violence recently, the idea of you being a racist equals you are a Nazi, therefore equals you are fair game to murder and or otherwise violently assault.
	In response to this declaration of war, Nigel Farage just said that they're going to teach Starmer a lesson at the ballot box next year, saying that he's more determined than ever.
	You know, it's a 20-second clip.
	There's not much more else to say about that.
	The only other thing I wanted to address is that this has sadly reignited the annoying discussion on what is or isn't an Englishman.
	As I have said many times before, an Englishman is someone of Celto-Germanic heritage who descends from the Anglo-Saxon tribes that came over here in the fifth and sixth centuries, as well as the Celtic Britons who were already here.
	Who then became the Welsh, the Scottish, bloody bloody blah.
	It is as simple as that.
	If you do not have that heritage, you are not English.
	Furthermore, the whole idea of the British civic identity I have already addressed earlier, but to me and to many others, it is an umbrella term for the peoples, the native peoples of these isles, and nothing else.
	I do not want to have to relitigate this conversation all over again.
	We already taught you this lesson with Rishi Sunak.
	Don't make us do it again.
	Okay?
	And that's all of the interesting stuff to say about the Labour Party conference.
	I do not sadly have a compilation of a load of blue-haired people screeching about pronouns on the stage, but frankly, I think we're beyond that.
	I particularly like the framing from Shibana, where it's like, is Nigel Farage a racist?
	It's like, well, he's maybe worse than that.
	Oh, so we do agree that there are things worse than racists.
	It's just now a question of degree where you are.
	Are we going by TV logic?
	Because I've been told that actually television has taught me that being racist is far worse than being a gun runner, a drug dealer, a murderer.
	Maybe not a rapist, but most rapists in TV tend to be racists as well.
	So, you know, like, these are questions.
	Well, if your rhetoric is constantly scaremongering to the extreme, at some point you're going to run out of extreme notions to scaremonger about to scare people with.
	Yes.
	And you'll have to say, yeah, he's worse than this.
	He's worse than a Nazi.
	He's worse than evil.
	Worse than Satan.
	Alright.
	That's what happens when your rhetoric is completely out of touch with what's going on.
	I'm going to go through the Rumble Rants and Super Chats.
	Harry, could you get the super chats up?
	Because we've just got the normal YouTube chat scrolling right now.
	Please.
	I don't want to have to scroll through them all like that, can you just...
	Oh wait, let me see if I can...
	Fan funding.
	Here we go.
	There we are.
	Oh, wait.
	We've got quite a few more than that, though.
	Oh, well.
	Right, so Rumble Rants.
	Not so good.
	Sar, you don't understand us Indians via our awful behaviour of reignited ethnic nationalism in the West.
	You see, SARS, it was 4D chess all along.
	Aryans forever.
	Now please give me your job.
	Very interesting tactic there.
	Logan Pine, I tortured myself by watching the rest is politics to see what the enemy is thinking.
	I have to say a drunk hamster would be smarter.
	That's a random name.
	Sup, my fellow Yaweways.
	That's a random name again.
	Unlike you evil Britons, Yawewe tribe accepts everyone regardless of background.
	Vote Kemi today or you're what I mean racist.
	Hamsification, Labour and Tories Party are heel stables.
	Labour are the monster heel stable and Tories are the cowardly heel stable.
	That's a good way of characterizing it, actually.
	I like that.
	Doomhand says, build back better too, renew Britain Boogaloo.
	And the engaged few, okay, Kier, how about the ones who arrived on a raft 20 minutes ago and opened a vape shop as a front for trafficking heroin, sex, slaves, and welfare cheats?
	Can we deport them?
	Keir Starmer says, get back to him on that.
	On YouTube Super Chats, we've got, Why is Starmer, oh, why is Starmer gay, good question.
	We don't know.
	There are some Ukrainians we'll need to ask about that.
	Tom Artium Alexandrovich, I don't know what that could be referring to.
	We have Okay All right, I think Never Mourn the Man of Davos, the voice of Davos does control R to replace comrades with conference for 2025.
	That's a very confusing message, but thank you anyway for donating.
	All right, well, it's time to talk about Stelios' favourite thing, which is, of course, ICE.
	And unfortunately, though, I wish I could show you footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger marching into Portland single-handedly and dealing with all of the miscreants.
	That's not what we're getting.
	What we're getting instead is, of course, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the federal government of the United States.
	Because Portland has really been taking a beating recently.
	And by recently, of course, I mean decades.
	And so it's just been this thing.
	And one of the things I'd just like to say about Portland as well is that I feel like it discredits some of the arguments made by accelerationists, right?
	That actually, when things reach a certain level of just crap, people will rise up and they'll say that it's a north.
	Unnecessarily.
	Right.
	Like, Portland is a great example.
	I mean, things can just get bad and then stay bad and then get worse and then just keep getting worse and stay worse.
	You know, I always say, as long as there are bread and circuses, you're not going to get some kind of peasants' revolt.
	If people are distracted by Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Netflix, Disney Plus, they'll be sound as a pound.
	Right.
	as long as it's not on the strippers yeah i'm out of the didn't see that coming Distractions.
	No, I mean, we're creatures of habit.
	Sometimes people can become accustomed to just a morally corrupt state.
	Yes.
	yeah yeah so the the constant argument out of context please clip that Yeah.
	No, the argument that if we reach a bad state, people will rise up isn't just necessary.
	No, it's not.
	It could be, but it doesn't have to be.
	Yeah, it's not an iron wall.
	So if we just look here at the state of this state of this strip club down in Portland, you can see it's not exactly a high-end luxury boutique, right?
	They are never going to clean this up on their own, right?
	A bit like with Birmingham, right?
	Over here, when things get particularly bad, you have to have your cities full of people who actually care.
	That is disgusting.
	I mean, these are really great.
	The only way to clean this is bombard it.
	And you can see that it's not as if Portland has the greatest scholars going, right?
	These aren't the great thinkers of our age who are willing to tackle the great problems and questions of our.
	Is this not Schopenhauer quote?
	What's it really?
	Maybe.
	Yeah.
	Niche speaks of this.
	Have you read it?
	No.
	No, me neither.
	Of course not.
	But of course, as well, beyond that, you know, to move to the actual people and not just the graffiti and dereliction.
	That's the result of the people.
	So I can only imagine what the people are like.
	So we have a defaced American flag.
	That was a Mexican flag as well.
	And then just lots of other flags, proud, patriotic American people there.
	Just look at them all.
	And so at this point, you might be thinking, well, how bad can it get before the government steps in and actually does something about this?
	Because, you know, as we all know, the Trump administration has a long track record of talking a good game, saying that it will do things, pointing out.
	And actually, the thing is, as well, the administration does a really good job of explaining the problems and how they've come about.
	They just never do anything to actually fix them.
	You know, the number of deportations is just...
	It's a rug pull every time.
	Every time.
	B visas, we're going to charge them $100,000 every year to renew them.
	Then you look at the document.
	Oh, it's just the one payment of $100,000, actually.
	Oh, okay, so that was just a lie.
	And because these protests have been going on against ICE, because obviously ICE are in the city, because there's many, many illegals to clear out.
	And obviously, Portland is the citadel of Antifa, who are, of course, now a terrorist organization in America.
	And so there seems to be a battle of wills.
	But the problem is as well, it's not really just ICE versus Antifa.
	It's the fact that the entire strength of the city of Portland, from the mayor down to the police, are also rebelling against this because they obviously declared back in 2017 Portland's status as a sanctuary city.
	So they're reacting against ICE.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Well, the thing about this is, again, I hate to bring it straight back to wrestling terms.
	Oh, no, but the dynamic here is that the government makes big promises and doesn't follow through on the promises.
	But to actually see that they're not following through, you need to look through the statistics, which in some cases they've just stopped publishing altogether.
	The numbers aren't as high as they should be.
	They're not as high as should be promised.
	If you just go by the public statements, then you would think that Trump was doing an amazing job cleaning everything up and that they had taken out of all Antifa following Charlie Kirk's assassination.
	Most people just go by the headlines, though.
	So they see the headlines, say, Trump is doing this.
	But what really makes it real to them is the counter-reaction.
	The fact that you have these protests going out, which are also hugely amplified, they go, well, Trump says he's doing something, and the left is acting like he's doing something.
	So they must be solving all of our problems.
	I got what I voted for, award.
	And then you look into it and you go, fell for it again, award.
	Right.
	And well, I'll actually come to that a little later on, to no surprise.
	But yeah, just to say as regards to, so the city council declared in 2017, as I say, the status as a sanctuary city.
	And that basically means that city employees will not enforce federal immigration law.
	It also means that Portland police officers will not cooperate with U.S. with ICE agents, except as expressly required by federal law.
	City dollars cannot be spent to enforce federal immigration law.
	And city equipment cannot be used to enforce it either.
	So a total rebellion just from the city.
	And of course, this stretch is far further than Portland.
	This is happening in many, many cities across America.
	Isn't the point of federal law that it's the supreme law essentially?
	That's the Constitution, but isn't federal law supposed to be to be higher than state law?
	I thought that too, but perhaps the lesson here is that actually law is only as strong and meaningful as the will to enforce it.
	That's always true.
	That's always true.
	And that's a problem with having activist judges and activists in all sorts of institutions who don't care about the common good, but care about just their temporary alliances.
	Because Oregon isn't that far from California.
	We saw a few months ago lots of people in California rioting, burning American flags and waving Mexican flags and flags of other countries.
	So you know what's going on.
	Everyone knows what's going on.
	It's borderline sedition, isn't it?
	Yeah, no, it is sedition.
	Yeah, because they're setting themselves up as something by basically making a sanctuary for all of the illegals.
	Yeah, but sanctuary, I mean, that's the issue.
	Of course, yeah, we know we're in agreement on this issue because they do declare sanctuary, but sanctuary can never be sanctuary from the law.
	Yeah, well, that's what it is, though, isn't it?
	It's a sanctuary from the United States itself.
	Yeah, in practice.
	You're something separate from it.
	And sorry, that's not really relevant, actually.
	And so we have it.
	We have Trump tweeting out at the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Noome, I'm directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland and any of our ICE facilities under siege from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.
	I'm also authorizing full force, if necessary.
	Thank you for your attention to this matter.
	I have the impression that this is something that it's the chief Democrat politicians who want this because what they want is Trump to constantly send in the National Guard and them having then an argument to say, well, look, it's, you know, next night is going to be the night of the long swords.
	It's fascism.
	Yeah, it's fascism.
	It's Nazism.
	You know, it's the putsch.
	It's coming.
	That's why they're doing it.
	Hear the crunch of a boot just walking down the street enforcing the law.
	That is fascism.
	Goose stepping towards you.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Big words.
	Well, exactly.
	Exactly.
	But I'll just cut this off now, actually.
	The National Guard haven't arrived yet.
	They seem to still be organizing, getting ready.
	So we'll see what comes then.
	But for now, the point is that ICE are present in the city.
	I mean, I think he needs to stop.
	He needs to stop the grandstanding and he needs to stop the foreshadowing and the signaling.
	Just do it.
	Yeah, just send them.
	Just do it.
	And as it is being done, then say, this is what we're doing right now.
	Because otherwise, it's just getting people excited.
	It's getting people on board for the next big storyline.
	Last time it was Donald Trump and the left, Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans uniting around Charlie Kirk in time for his memorial and that.
	And now we've banned Antifa.
	And now it's Donald Trump versus Portland.
	But ultimately, it doesn't do anything.
	No.
	And yes, go on, Sally.
	Sorry, I wanted to say that I think on this, Trump is thinking about the optics.
	I mean, and I would think of the same.
	And it seems to me that he's just building anticipation.
	But by building anticipation, I have to agree with your point, Harry, that he's giving, he's just telegraphing what he's going to do.
	And in doing so, you have here Portland, and this is from Portland.gov.
	So this is from June.
	Oh, right.
	Sorry.
	But this is, sorry, that was my mistake.
	But it still speaks to the solidarity of the city.
	And this is what they're doing, right?
	It is in lockdown.
	It's not a bad thing if he says we're going to do it because he says we're going to get you.
	You're not going to get away with it.
	Eventually.
	It's good for people who live in a state where they have constantly Antifa and all these people causing trouble.
	They do want to hear a leader saying, I will solve the issue, as opposed to listening to Joe Biden saying, no, no, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't do hate speech.
	I mean, that's one thing, but eventually it starts to come across like a guy, like a guy you walk on, who you walk past on the other side of the street every day, who every single time he shakes his fist at you, I'm going to get you.
	Thank you for your attention.
	One of these days, I'm going to get you.
	But really, you start after the fourth or fifth time, you think he's not going to do anything.
	This is all just talk.
	And so you have this here that I just wanted to play as well from Chief Day of Portland.
	Is there a myth or a misconception since this news broke that you're like, oh, I just wish people understood this?
	Just the fact of the matter is, and it's been highlighted so many times so well, but I just want to emphasize this is one city block.
	City of Portland is about 145 square miles.
	This is one city block.
	And even the events that are happening down there do not rise to the level of attention that they are receiving.
	We are seeing this true for our society and whole.
	I'm not going to try and editorialize too much, but these 30 second, 20 second, 15 second clips, clips that are brought in from months ago or maybe even years ago.
	We've seen Portland portrayed through the events of the lens of 20 and 21.
	And what's actually happening and the response that we're seeing both from Portlanders and from the Portland Police Bureau is not in line with that national narrative.
	And it is frustrating, but we're going to continue to stay the course.
	I said this on Saturday.
	The actions of the federal government and others don't change the resolve that the Portland Police Bureau has to continue to provide the highest level of safety and security and service to Portlanders.
	One of the things that I find interesting about that is that he's responding to exactly what you were saying, Harry, about the sense of hyper-reality.
	That actually in seeing these 15-second clips, all of a sudden everything says, I mean, I'm wrong.
	It's not if they can't get one block when he's like, oh, it's just one block.
	Yeah, but look at the state of that block, right?
	And if that, what first block is bad, what are the other blocks like where that aren't being focused on so much?
	And so you have this thing where ever since June, really, there's been this constant clash of wills between ICE and the Antifa members who have been.
	I mean, I deleted a few clips before going on because the language was very vulgar.
	But just feral activists.
	What were they saying?
	Oh, I'll tell you later.
	Some feral activists.
	And every now and then some of them will get arrested, but ultimately it's not really about the scale as he's appealing to there.
	As so much it is, this has been going on for months.
	This has been going on for months and months and months.
	And Antifa and all of the people who are protecting the illegals and just the wrong ones in Portland are just all coming together.
	And so you have this situation where obviously Andy No has been reporting on it with Katie Daviscourt.
	And you had just to, they were filming yesterday evening and one of the goons assaulted Katie with one of the flagpoles.
	And then you can see here, as Andy points out, so then once they have assaulted someone, they all come together and now they're escorting these people to safe houses, to Antifa safe houses.
	And the National Guard, when they do arrive, need to go through these places, right?
	If they're a terrorist organization, there shouldn't be, by the time the National Guard leave, there shouldn't be a single Antifa member left in Portland.
	If a crime has been committed, then there should be some kind of police response.
	It's as simple as that.
	But in this case, now, the crime is being a part of Antifa.
	Just being Antifa is a criminal offense.
	So, all right, let's see how far things go when the National Guard finally turns up.
	But the point is, I have a sneaking suspicion that this is all going to be quite underwhelming.
	I don't want to come across like I'm being too dour or, God forbid, being smug and trying to rub it in people's faces.
	No, I want.
	When nothing happens, I want this administration to prove me wrong.
	I want to see good, strong governance done in the interests and the will of the patriotic people of America.
	What I see is an administration that likes to lead people by the nose and say that they're going to do something huge without any follow-through.
	If it does turn out that all of this is some kind of big telegraphed pre-emptive thing that will lead to huge strikes against these groups in a few months or even next year, great.
	But from where we're sitting across the pond, it just looks like a lot of bluster.
	I don't think so.
	I think Trump wants to solve this issue with Antifa.
	And the issue with him is that as a businessman and as a negotiator, he knows that his words count.
	And if he has escalated against Antifa by declaring it a terrorist organization and he doesn't follow on it, that's going to be a complete underwhelming.
	It's going to be completely underwhelming.
	It's going to destroy his image.
	It's like with Operation Midnight Hammer.
	He was saying, don't do this.
	There's a red line.
	He did it in order to guard his word.
	I personally think that he may have underestimated how easy it is to and how difficult it is to tackle the issue and what are the other long-term consequences.
	I think personally, no, just that's a complete guess.
	But I'd say most probably he made a quick statement and lots of people are trying to tell him right now what are the mid to long-term consequences and implications of actions he's being he's considering and maybe there's a brainstorming about what's the best course of action.
	Yeah, I mean, I like you, I do hope that he does something about it.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	However, obviously, again, and I totally agree with you, Harry, I don't want to sound smuggler.
	Ha, you're not getting no, I want you to get what you're voting for.
	And if there is one thing that I absolutely do have to commend, it's that what is being done by the actual ICE agents is good.
	The actual agents themselves seem to be doing a really good job within the means of what they're capable of.
	And we've just got some footage of them going about making arrests, looking the business.
	Who are they arresting?
	They're just arresting random agitators who have obviously committed assaults.
	one here as well uh and also it's a very dangerous job there were a few Few days ago, what was it, a week ago, there was the anti-ice shooter who was shooting at ICE agents?
	Yeah.
	This particular clip, I just thought this went hard with the music.
	Can turn the music off for a couple of days.
	I was going to say, yeah.
	Who's playing Guns N' Roses in the background of this?
	It was just great.
	It all came together.
	Great ensemble of cinema, I have to say.
	But as I point out as well, it's not just Portland that needs this treatment, is it?
	It's also Chicago.
	It's also New Orleans.
	It's also Seattle.
	It's many, many other cities as well.
	So as the National Guard are deployed and sent through these various places, I'll come back to you and update you with how it all seems to be going.
	Well, we do at least have some ICE agents on the streets in Portland arresting people right now.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	People are getting arrested.
	Okay.
	Need to pump those numbers up.
	Yeah.
	But that's a start.
	It is a start, but what they have to do is to keep them arrested because many times the police arrests them and politicians call and say, right, let them out.
	Let them walk away.
	But what's more as well, you know, just right up to the tip of the spear in Portland, right, it's got to be, these people are being protected by the mayor, by everyone, by the justice system in Portland, by all of the institutions.
	I mean, there was this thing that, I don't know, like Abraham Lincoln did when he had even Supreme Court justices telling him that he couldn't do certain things.
	And obviously, it was unconstitutional and a lot of people have problems with it.
	But there is precedent to American presidents just going, well, I'll just throw you in prison then.
	I'm not saying that that's exactly what needs to happen, but there is precedent when there are members of the judiciary getting in the way of a president during what's considered a national crisis.
	Just going, all right, get in jail.
	Also, don't be surprised at all if some members of Antifar come from very rich backgrounds and well-connected ones.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, no, not at all.
	Anyway, so there we are.
	Good luck, Patriots.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	But, yes, I'll just read the rumbles and I'll pass you them over.
	So we've got...
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Margarita Afternoon says, love from the southern United States.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	A Logan Pine, a friendly reminder that Trump is a New York boomer.
	He is stewed in the liberal worldview.
	Yeah, but it's not forever, is it?
	Habification says, Trump is cutting a promo to build up hype for Trump versus Portland and for WrestleMania 42 on the 18th of April.
	He's got 2026.
	That'll be a hell of a handicap match, but I have a feeling that Stone Cold's going to make a surprise appearance.
	Going to hear the glass breaking.
	He's going to hit a stunner and everybody send the whole crowd home happy.
	I really feel like I actually just need to go and watch a shit ton of wrestling so I have some idea of what you're talking about half the time.
	I'll send you through some recommendations.
	Thanks, man.
	I'll send you through the episode, the match where Trump actually was involved and got stunnered by Stone Cold.
	Do I need to read countless books on philosophy?
	Or do I just need to understand wrestling?
	You really don't need to know the philosophy to watch wrestling.
	Well, I'll stick to wrestling in my chronicles and that's what I'll do.
	Busted Brian says, as someone living in the United States and not Ukrainistan, ouch.
	And more a non-partisan with no love for Trump, I find your criticisms nitpicky, Harry.
	The press has gone cautiously to accumulate wins in the courts.
	I hope that you're right.
	And I hope that that keeps, I hope that that actually leads to something.
	Me too.
	Skitton Hund says, did you guys see the text between Trump and the lesbian governor Kotex?
	She was ranked dead last in the nation.
	No, I have not.
	And Brian once again says, Harry, you're talking about suspension of habeas corpus, which Lincoln had to do because there was a literal civil war.
	Trump could not get away with that, no matter your feelings on it.
	Well, the question is, at what point do the actions of these members of the judiciary creep over, as Stelios said, into sedition and into treasonous acts?
	That is something that has to be decided.
	And speaking from the outside looking in, it appears to me that these judge, these court judges, and the people who get in the way of this are acting in a way that is treasonous to the federal government who were democratically elected in for this administration.
	And Mark Guy says, Oh, you've read these.
	Yep, okay.
	Right.
	Let's go over to your segments, Telius, for time, shall we?
	Have a mouse.
	Other Harry, could we have the documents, please?
	Let's talk about the other American city.
	Thank you.
	Right.
	So New York is about to fall.
	I don't say this with happiness, but it looks like Zoran Mamdani is the one who is going to become mayor coming November 4th.
	And if not in the first round, it looks like he has the momentum that others don't.
	So the basic rival was Eric Adams.
	He was the mayor of New York.
	And he's dropping out of the race.
	For some time now, there were rumors he would drop out of the race.
	And he denied them.
	But a few days ago, he said basically that he's dropping out.
	Did he give a reason?
	He can't continue the.
	He cannot continue the campaign.
	He doesn't have.
	He hasn't secured adequate funding.
	There is lots of disagreement with him because he was initially a Democrat.
	He is a Democrat, but he has lost the Democrat support.
	Democrats have gone way too radical for his type of Democrat agenda.
	And he was helped by Trump in some cases.
	And ever since Trump helped him a bit to deal with the federal charges against him, the Democrats have basically said, you're completely corrupt.
	You're colluding with Trump.
	We want another guy.
	We want Zoran Mamdani.
	That's how they went about it.
	So it looks like he is going to be the one who's going to become mayor.
	Now, let us talk a bit about the other candidates.
	Apart from Zoran Mamdani, about who we are going to talk, we have Andrew Cuomo.
	He was the ex-governor of New York who resigned in 2021 over some allegations for sex scandals.
	And he was a total lockdown tyrant.
	Yep.
	I believe the actual allegations were against him being Italian.
	I think there were allegations of groping and sexual misbehavior.
	Being Italian.
	Or misbehavior having sexual connotations.
	I don't exactly remember what the charges were.
	These are all just synonyms for Italian behavior.
	Harry, please don't go there.
	This was his excuse.
	Do you not remember that?
	I think he did say.
	I think he did say something.
	He was just like, oh, I'm Italian.
	What are you expecting?
	A cultural defense.
	So we have him, and he lost in the Democratic primaries in late June.
	He lost to Zoran Mamdani.
	Mamdani secured close to 56% of the votes.
	Andrew Cuomo secured around 43.2% or 0.6%.
	But now he is running as an independent.
	Right.
	And we also have the Republican Curtis Sliwa.
	Apologies if I don't pronounce it well.
	He is considered an eccentric Republican.
	Trump is not endorsing him.
	I think he...
	He's a vigilante.
	He described him more like a not exactly prime time.
	I think that was Trump's description of him.
	Yeah, I also seem to vaguely remember from when I covered this back in June when Mamdani first got the nomination that this guy was not a Trump fan.
	Yeah.
	He has been endorsed by all five county Republican parties, though, by the looks of it, according to this here.
	Yeah.
	And he has secured close to $4.2 million for the campaign.
	And let us look at Cuomo has secured close to 8.9 million, has raised.
	Spent 22 million during the primary.
	Yeah, so he's, yeah, and Mamdani here.
	Things we could achieve with that.
	Mamdani here has raised $15.3 million.
	Right.
	The issue with this is that Mamdani is basically someone who is a communist, right?
	He says he's a democratic socialist, but really, I think the evidence suggests he is basically a communist who knows how to hide.
	That all just means the same thing.
	Yeah, basically more like a Fabian.
	He's a Sadiq Khan of New York.
	Yeah.
	He's going to be.
	And I want us to focus a bit on some of the things he has said.
	And here, Kamala Harris says that she supports him because he is the Democratic nominee.
	A few days ago, she was saying Trump is acting like a communist dictator.
	But that's a different kind of...
	She got her rhetoric mixed up.
	The teleprompter.
	You're supposed to say fascist dictator Kamala.
	Yeah.
	She had a Biden moment, ironically.
	But it's all connected, Harry.
	That's a Biden quote.
	It's all connected, right?
	Yeah.
	You see, he has a Rust Cole moment where he smokes a joint and he has an epiphany.
	It's all connected.
	Where is Biden now?
	So here there's a clip of Kamala in Rachel Maddow show where it's a bit cryptic because she supports him, but she instantly starts saying there are other nominees like Zorin Mamdani.
	He isn't alone.
	We should also speak about them.
	So maybe she's a bit annoyed that there's too much disproportionate attention to Zoran Mamdani than to other Democratic nominees in other states and cities.
	She's a has-been now.
	Yeah.
	Also, the first thing, because I want to start with the basics, because I want to get Harry on board.
	Mamdani can't bench.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	He can't bench.
	You know that he can't bench press.
	He can't bench a single plate with assistance.
	Yeah, he couldn't even bench press.
	And that's a half rep, too.
	And he didn't do it.
	It's the other guy behind it who did it.
	Right.
	Basically, he got that guy to do like a front raise for him.
	Or like a half deadlift.
	Pathetic.
	Yeah, right.
	So because you're a wrestling fan, we need to start with the basics.
	Now let's get into politics.
	Right.
	So Trump says that he's basically a communist.
	He says self-proclaimed New York City communist Zoran Mamdani, who's running for mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to a great Republican party.
	He's going to have problems with Washington like no mayor in the history of a once great city.
	Remember, he needs the money from me as president in order to fulfill all of his fake communist promises.
	He won't be getting any of it, so what's the point voting for him?
	This ideology has failed always for thousands of years.
	You remember that Lenin guy 2,000 years ago?
	Complete failure.
	He had to introduce the new economic policy.
	I believe that was 3,000 years ago.
	When they translated the Rosetta Stone, it was actually Marx and Engels.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Right.
	Okay, now the polls, most of the polls show that Mamdani is ahead.
	So what's going on here?
	I don't know what's going on with the thing.
	So he's got a lead across all of the polls.
	He has got a lead across all of the polls.
	For some reason, this can't be visible here.
	I had it on another document, but let's forget it.
	He's ahead on most of the polls.
	But when I'm talking about ahead, he's very close to 50.
	Some give him 47, some give him 48.
	Now, from what I saw, they said that if he doesn't get 50, there's going to be another round.
	And the one who was the least good performing is going to be eliminated.
	It doesn't look like he has the momentum.
	So Cuomo isn't going to be eliminated on the first round.
	If there is a second one, he isn't going to be eliminated.
	Most probably it's the Republican one who's going to be eliminated on the first round.
	I wouldn't bank on a Republican in New York City anymore.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't think that there's going to be much support for Andrew Cuomo.
	Even if you add them, it doesn't get close to 50.
	And judging from the fact that Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primaries a few months ago against Cuomo, it looks like he's going to have all the momentum.
	And just look at what we're doing.
	We're basically criticizing him.
	Lots of people are criticizing him, which means that in left-wing circles, he has the momentum.
	He is the guy that the right criticizes.
	I mean, it doesn't matter ultimately however many legitimate criticisms that you can make of this man.
	In certain places like New York, you've reached the point where democracy means voting for the people who are of your race and religion.
	Right.
	That's it.
	You're just voting benefits.
	And Trump isn't willing to tackle that problem.
	Right.
	Of course.
	The actual demographic problem.
	Right.
	So let us show you some of the things that suggest that he's not just a typical type of social democrat in the conventional sense.
	Well, I mean, that's also in some cases really bad.
	But he is more radical than he seems.
	That's my point.
	As far as distribution is concerned, this is his principle.
	And I want to ask you if he reminds you of something.
	It says, each according to their need, each according to their ability.
	Which wrestler said this?
	I think that's a Hogan quote.
	Ah, cool.
	Yeah, so that's from, I think, from Marx from the Critique of the Gotha program, where he was saying that the distribution in communist society should be everyone should be rewarded according to their need, and everyone should produce and give according to their ability.
	Right?
	So this is the perfect ground and the perfect justification for creating a culture of dependency, a culture that is asking for rights without assuming responsibility, a culture that wants benefits, a public rhetoric that is focused just on what people need rather than what has to be done in order to raise a pie that is big enough for everyone.
	And if we disseminated, disseminate, if we divide it in ways that support what creates it in the first place, which is the profit motive, more people are going to get more things.
	Simple as that.
	The alternative to this is just poverty.
	And it's the kind of poverty that people like Mamdani maybe want, maybe going for intentionally, because they may be thinking that the worse things are, the better for the prospects of a revolution.
	Now, here he says to a mayor of a place in Kerala who says she will be the youngest mayor of a major city in the world.
	Here she leads a detachment of red volunteers in Kerala.
	Hashtag left alternative, hashtag communists.
	Zora Mamdani quote tweets approvingly.
	He says them.
	So what kind of mayor does New York City need right now?
	Says me.
	And is quote tweeting this.
	Right.
	Here he says he doesn't think that there should be billionaires.
	Right?
	Let us look at this.
	So I don't know exactly how this is in line with New York City, New York City supposed to be.
	Home of Wall Street.
	You are a self-described democratic socialist.
	Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist?
	I don't think that we should have billionaires because frankly it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.
	And ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country.
	And I look forward to work with everyone, including billionaires, to make a city that is fairer for all of them.
	Gib, Gib, fairer for all of you by stop seeking your money.
	Give money.
	Right, so it's he's very explicit.
	And one of the problems that we encounter when we're commenting on things, especially politics that is domestic, is that lots of people who are identifying as democratic socialists and social democrats, they're really open about what they want to do.
	They're really open when they're saying that they're globalists.
	They're really open when they're saying that what they want to do is equality, not just in a domestic sense, but equality in a global sense, which means that what Mamdani is going to do is that he will push for more money to illegals, let's say.
	And he has been explicit about this.
	I'll show you the clip where he says, where is it?
	Wait, what was that?
	80%?
	We'll get there.
	We'll get there.
	What I said before, which is in line with the rationale I was developing a few moments ago, is that when you have someone who tells you that basically he's a communist, he's signaling communist talking points.
	He does so very approvingly, right?
	It's not just edgelording.
	He constantly does it.
	He says he's a democratic socialist, which is just communism with a speed limit.
	And what he says is, like every other social democrat, is we want to protect our democracy.
	Our democracy is inclusive, but it only excludes our political enemies and the groups we want to target, the groups we want to be taxed and we want reparations from in order to tax them and give more to our friends.
	When they tell you this, believe them.
	They don't have good intentions.
	And what they want to do is level everyone down, make everyone equal.
	And because they don't think in terms of in patriotic terms and they think in global terms, what they want to do is essentially tax people who have money and give it to their political friends.
	And if illegal aliens are among their political friends, they want to do it.
	He says here he wants to go further than New York sanctuary city policies, hence he wants to spend 100 million to provide legal aid to illegal aliens.
	And he says Mamdani wants to use New York's taxpayer dollars to protect 400,000 illegal migrants.
	Let's hear it.
	Our campaign is one that stands by the actual enforcement of the law as it is here in New York City with sanctuary city policies that have kept us safe.
	I would also commit to increasing the staffing of our law department by 200 to bring us back to pre-COVID levels and to ensure that when we look at this city, we are using every tool at our disposal to keep New Yorkers together, to keep families together.
	400,000 of our residents are right now in urgent risk of deportation.
	The city knows that when it provides legal assistance to those same New Yorkers, their chances of going home increased 11fold.
	And yet it has only assisted fewer than 200 of those New Yorkers.
	That's why also a cornerstone of our campaign is a commitment to increase funding for those very legal defense services by more than $100 million so that we can ensure we're taking every step we can to keep New Yorkers safe, to keep New Yorkers together and to show the world that they are welcome in the city.
	New Yorker has just become like, it's another term for how we just use Londoner today.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It's just people who happen to occupy this city from anywhere in the world.
	It's all just about resource theft and redistribution.
	They want to steal your stuff so they can give it to their group.
	After winning a New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, Zoran Mamdani reaffirms support for reparations.
	Yeah, because he was so thickly, he's so thickly rooted in the deep history of America.
	He just cares so much.
	Is he after that $42 trillion that England apparently owes India as well or something?
	Well, he would be if it would come ah, sadly, it really depends on which side they arrive on, which kind of reparations that they support.
	Either way, they want it to come into them.
	Also, he is participating into this, I'd say, postmodern attempt to constantly say everything is a social construction, even violence.
	Let's just listen to what he has to say.
	Oftentimes, we've even found as legislators when we go into these courts, the term violent crime is even used when people are stealing packages.
	Violent crime is even used when people are accused of burglary and there happens to be a housing unit in that same dwelling.
	So violence is an artificial construction.
	We have to be very clear what is happening here with these district attorneys.
	That is violence.
	Stealing my property is a violation of my person.
	So if you're stealing my package, what happens if I stop you while you're stealing my package and say, put that back, please?
	Are they just going to drop it or are they going to attack me?
	You're not voting for him, so he's going to support the other one.
	Oh, yeah, true.
	Good point.
	Right.
	Here, he's talking about his plan to root out bigotry.
	So here, what's happening is that he wants to appear very pro-Jewish because lots of people are saying that due to his Muslim background, he's going to be anti-Jewish.
	I think also a lot of his campaign managers are Jewish as well.
	Also, just something to say though.
	I remember when he was debating against the other Democrat candidates.
	And what foreign trip will you go on?
	You know, when you first become mayor.
	And like, they all said Israel.
	Right.
	And he, and he was just like, I'm just going to stay in New York, actually, and look after New Yorkers.
	And I'll tell you what, it cuts through.
	It comes through in there.
	You're talking about Mamdani.
	Yes.
	Did he do this or did he go to Kenya?
	Well, we'll check.
	We'll check.
	Right.
	Okay.
	So here, his plan for rooting out bigotry across New York City involves an 800% increase in funding for hate crime prevention programs.
	But the thing is, Mamdani, you make me more bigoted for free.
	Right.
	Right.
	So he says he's not a communist, he's a democratic socialist.
	Right.
	So it's very simple what's going to happen.
	His agenda across the world is the agenda that is destroying Western nations.
	It's a Trojan horse.
	Sometimes it's the doors to it open by fifth columnists within the Western world.
	They're saying, right, we're going to come, we're going to form an ally, an alliance with you.
	And what we're going to do is we're going to tax everyone else, resource extraction, as Harry described it before, give more resources to our friends.
	And whether they're using it by saying that they're using it basically with welfareist policies.
	It's the same in the UK here with the NHS.
	They're trying to say the socialists, the Fabians of the UK are trying to say that the most important thing in the legacy of British history is the NHS.
	Unless I'm completely mistaken, I think that's their line.
	It must be protected at all costs.
	Not only must it be protected, but it needs more and more and more money.
	And if you're against this, if you're against the displacement of your people within your own country, you need to have biased trainings according to the anti-bigotry campaigns of people like Zoran Mamdani.
	So no, you have to be corrected.
	That's bullshit.
	So when he says this, believe him, people of Mamdani's persuasion, they want to completely disrespect the Western world.
	They completely disrespect it.
	And they also disrespect any principles that make free and prosperous societies possible.
	They hate economic liberty.
	They hate people choosing things that don't align with their plan.
	And believe me, they have really big and wide-ranging plans.
	They want to tell you how to live your life.
	Why has he got pink eye in this picture?
	No.
	Very strange.
	Right.
	So I really hope somehow New York doesn't get completely wrecked.
	I see why Trump is doing the fun posting thing that it's going to be the best thing for a Republican Party.
	Well, I don't know thinking of this.
	So I'm thinking more in practical terms that less destruction is better than more destruction.
	Yeah, this is the thing.
	Trump's strategy of, oh, well, we'll just let Mamdani wreck it because it'll make all look better.
	It's like, or you could just stop the destruction of America's most famous city.
	You could just address the fact that this is a sham.
	It's a rig.
	You should let LA go to shit.
	I know, but also, I saw an interview with Trump the other day where he was talking about, it's like, well, Ilan Ilhan Omar is here because she got a bunch of foreigners over and those foreigners voted her in.
	It's like, okay, so you're aware of how this happens.
	So why don't we maybe just reverse the foreigners?
	Right?
	But it's not going to happen.
	It may happen.
	You know, like Kurt Russell and Escape from New York, the snake Puliskin did.
	They're sending in for the Duke.
	Right.
	And Mamdani comes in.
	Well, what is some leather-bound warlord?
	Yeah, who can't bench.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	That's why he's got his incredibly buff, like, right-hand man, the enforcer.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We've got some rumble rants if you want to read through.
	I don't know if we've got many super chats on YouTube today.
	Or I don't know if.
	Right.
	That's a random name.
	I think it's twice the same comment.
	Oh, yes, it is.
	Right.
	For Mamdani and his ill always say that words of violence, and now they claim that actual violence isn't real.
	Why?
	Because to the low IQ, needing to use their brain is painful.
	They spick with their fists.
	Yeah.
	Logan 17 Pine says, So the suspit of the East Coast is going to have a communist.
	Don't they deserve that?
	Well, I mean, you could argue that if they do vote for him, they do.
	But there's also the other question that who is voting, whether voting is transparent, and whether people who shouldn't be voting are involved in the voting process.
	But also, it's larger than, oh, well, you know, if they vote for it, do they deserve that?
	Yeah, but does America deserve that as a whole?
	Does the United States deserve for all of its countries to just slowly and inexorably become communist?
	I believe some people who underestimate the...
	There's banter, and it's natural to some degree.
	But there are people who underestimate the threat.
	And maybe they think that there is room for, you know, just casual banter.
	Let them have the state.
	Let them have the other state.
	The other state deserves to fall.
	Yeah, at some point, that's going to destroy the country.
	Yeah.
	And then you found that you've got no cities and a totally divided nation.
	Right.
	Reba.
	Trump is picking fights.
	He's an old man and can only do so much.
	He's grooming Vance Miller and don't count at Gates Gubbard.
	I believe in the plan.
	As an American, I believe in Trump.
	Well, I hope it comes through for you, Reba.
	Right.
	Joseph Addison Aldred.
	If he wins, all the shit libs will flee New York to the surrounding states and vote exactly the same policies they fled.
	Yep, they'll vote differently with their feet, but keep voting for these policies.
	That's a random name says yet another segment of, quote, why democracy is fake and gay.
	I quote, my favorite.
	Everywhere whites become a minority turns into South African Zimbabwe.
	The haplocification says, Mamdani revealing his Marxist intention policies to New Yorkers.
	It's me, Austin.
	It's me, Austin.
	It was me all along, Austin.
	me all along, Austin!
	No, see, I don't think that he's, um, Vince McMahon was, like, the scheming heel villain.
	I...
	I feel like he's more of like an iron chic, cowardly foreign heel.
	Flavius Magna says, to see my birth city about to be butchered in a way I can't truly conceive as a strange feel.
	First time.
	Yep.
	Not so good, 0-1.
	Beyond the Kayfabe, Nige, Don, Elon, etc., are any of the elites are guys?
	I feel we can't win without elite backing.
	Probably a good extended conversation for another time, to be honest.
	Yeah, I don't know, frankly.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure there are elites or people in elite positions who are on our side.
	I don't think they would broadcast it in the way that a lot of people would expect them to, because that would come with immediate sanctions.
	If there are patronage networks that can emerge that do not draw as much attention and therefore legal trouble to themselves, I say let it happen naturally.
	I would say of those that you named for England, Elon could be an elite who is actually on our side, but he needs to stop making noises and start actually doing something to support the causes he's so vocal for.
	And he could start by, you know, making his appearance on this podcast.
	Right.
	You said you would, Elon.
	Ian Thomas says, Mamdani will give Sadiq Khan a bit of relief from being lombasted by the Donald.
	Perhaps it was all a veiled warning.
	You are Sol says I would not call my chat super just present.
	If we can just scroll up a bit.
	Alda says, clear them out, simple as.
	Bring on Steve Doza.
	Bretton Circus, Tale as Ola's Time by Gimli.
	Thanks.
	I think we've read them.
	Some of these other ones.
	Although, to be fair, somebody kept asking about Tom Artium Alexandrovich.
	I don't know who that is, but they kept sending in 80 Australian dollars for the pleasure of doing so.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very, very much for the support that you've given us there.
	We really appreciate it.
	We do.
	Mark said Harry is out of the cult, unlike the men of Al Zut who were in Mohammed.
	Stop.
	Stop with the Mohammed Al-Zut stuff, man.
	I already know now, okay?
	I don't need to be reminded.
	All right.
	That's the joke.
	Later, later.
	I'll tell you afterwards.
	Do we have video comments, Harry?
	We do not.
	We do not, okay.
	Website comments then.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	I'll go through mine.
	South Dakota pastor on the Labour Party.
	I understand that they are Marxists and incapable of decreasing government spending.
	But why do they believe their policies are unrelated to the demonstrable negative consequences when his evident any government been able to tax their people into prosperity?
	Well, the negative consequences aren't for their constituents.
	It's been a long, long time since the Labour Party's constituents was made up of actual working class.
	Also, some of them are so arrogant they can conceive of negative unintended consequences.
	And when they can't deny them, they say someone else will pay for them.
	Let's go lag our way out of it.
	There is a genuine streak of pure midwittery that runs through our current government as well.
	Dumb.
	Yeah, that can't.
	Yeah, Dimwittery.
	Let's bring back the Dimwit label as opposed to Midwit, because Midwit at least implies 150 in IQ.
	Dimwit is more appropriate for these people.
	Ed Dutton eating red mutton.
	It's interesting how Keir Starmer last year said the Tories ran an open borders experiment and yet his government haven't reduced immigration.
	The only thing you can infer is that he is running one too.
	Yes, because it was rhetoric.
	Although, to be fair, at the very least, with Keir Starmer, everybody knows not to take his rhetoric seriously.
	Furious Dan.
	If Keir wants to recognise a Palestinian state, I suppose that's his business.
	I hope he's willing to recognise an English state next.
	No.
	Alex Ogle, Starmer, free speech is a British value and we've guarded it for centuries, implied, but intend to no further.
	Starmer always talks of free speech in the past tense.
	That's a good point.
	Keeganator says, I propose we use the phrase national renewal as a substitute for great replacement.
	I will not endorse that term because we are currently streaming on YouTube.
	Yes.
	Would you like to read through yours?
	Yeah, I can read through some of mine.
	So South Dakota Past says, regarding Portland, as soon as sanctuary jurisdictions became a thing, it was the obligation of the Department of Justice to challenge them in the courts.
	Their dereliction of duty has allowed this cancer to fester and spread.
	The law must be enforced equally, or else there is only the tyranny of selective enforcement or the anarchy of criminals running amok.
	Yeah, and it's obvious to see which side the Portland authorities are obviously defending in this.
	You know, they want more danger, more crime, more murder, more rape, all of these things in that city.
	It's really monstrous.
	It's really monstrous.
	Kevin Fox says, Trump should just make a call to the governor of these states and say, help Ice or we take over.
	If they refuse, he just hangs up and calls the first airborne division and gives them a go.
	No big press moments, just shows these governors and judges that he is president of the United States, not just some states.
	Well, yeah, I mean, somebody brought up earlier about the whole thing with Abraham Lincoln being a suspension of habeas corpus, which was legitimate in the moment because it was in the middle of civil war, right?
	I would say that America now is at a far greater threat than it ever was during the Civil War of there being horrible consequences.
	Because if Abraham Lincoln had not waged a war against the southern states of America, ultimately, what would the United States, the Union, have had?
	They would have had the Confederacy as their next door neighbours.
	What would the Confederacy have been?
	Well, in all likelihood, eventually the Confederacy would have given up slavery themselves because it was a massive liability to them.
	Meaning that the United States would have, as their next-door neighbours, a bunch of agrarian, agricultural, Anglo-Scottish states of people very closely related to them.
	What's the threat now?
	Well, the threat is that you're going to have all of these states popular next door to still patriotic American states that are instead populated by and run by hostile foreigners with expansive globalist ideologies who want to steal your stuff.
	Ultimately, the southern states wanted independence.
	You could say that was a threat to the security of the union.
	I would say this is a far greater threat to the security of the union.
	And there doesn't seem to be the due comprehension of the gravity of that from the Trump administration.
	I think very few people acknowledge the severe risks.
	We've got Jussie Sapanan who says, looking at the flags, it seems Palestinians have their land now.
	It's in Portland.
	Yes, Lord Inquisitor Hector Rex says, ICE and the National Guard can arrest as many as they want, but if the DAs and judges don't actually enforce the law, it's all for naught.
	They need to be removed for results to be seen.
	Well, I entirely agree.
	Do I just go through?
	Omar Wad says, when you believe the economy is a fixed pie, begging more pie is heresy and not sharing the pie survival.
	You will never hear a useless pie eater arguing for less regulations and begging.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	And that's what I think leftists are doing in purpose because they deliberately start from the assumption that the wealth is already created and it will be constantly created automatically.
	And they don't want people to ask the question, what are the behavioral traits and the actions, the patterns of actions that generate wealth, which you have to honor if you want to have wealth.
	And they are just they want to divert attention from this and to just, you know, how will my people get more resources?
	Well, there is other ways to wealth, which is corruption and stealing.
	Yeah.
	Kevin Fox, New York, Mamdani supporters need to take a city break to Dearborn, Michigan, then see if they really want him as New York mayor.
	Bleach Demon says, honestly, I welcome the universe where Snake Pliskin's New York is reality.
	At least it's a cool soundtrack, right?
	The soundtrack is the best.
	Carpenter is great.
	Oh, yeah.
	Also, we'll start wearing eye patches.
	If Mamdani wins, and I do a segment about it, I'll wear an eye patch like Snake Plissken.
	Right, okay.
	I'll be punished, Snake.
	Right, okay.
	And Arizona Desert Rat says, most a massive eye roll, most of a billionaire's wealth is in assets and stocks.
	Plus, saying that a person's wealth should be taken away comes across as envious and weak.
	Yeah, for leftism, that's another dang thing in why.
	And Sophie Liv says, well, the Italians are basically French.
	So what do we expect, really?
	That's for Harry.
	That's incorrect, right?
	The Italians are Latin meds.
	The French are Celtics.
	And sometimes Nords as well.
	North Italians.
	North Italians, the proximity to Austria, places like that.
	North Italians can be quite Nordic, but still, different peoples, they just all speak fancy pants, non-Germanic languages.
	So I spit on them.
	Indeed.
	And on that note, it's time to end, ladies and gentlemen.
	So thank you for joining us today.
	Glad to have read your comments.
	Hope you've enjoyed yourselves.
	And we'll see you back here at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
