	Hello everyone, welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Cedars.
	Today is Wednesday the 15th of October of the year 2025 and I'm joined today by Nate and Bo and we're gonna have a very jolly podcast.
	We're gonna talk about the truth about the LA Inferno, the Democrats' total meltdown and how basically speaking English is racist.
	Right, before we begin, we have two announcements to make.
	Number one, there's a very new channel that I'm watching and it's great and it's led by two esteemed gentlemen and the channel is called The State of Politics.
	Now, if you like people who are just basically uncensored and tell it like it is, check out subscribe to the state of politics.
	And these two esteemed gentlemen are basically Nate and Bo.
	I don't have to look very far from this.
	Right, so thanks for saying that.
	I appreciate that.
	You're welcome.
	You should definitely subscribe on their channel.
	And as I said, I've watched several of your videos and I really like them.
	It's very, it's awesome.
	Right?
	It's just uncensored, Bo and uncensored, Nate.
	Do subscribe.
	You know what I mean?
	You know it.
	You all want to watch it.
	Right.
	We have a new course.
	Chances are you may have already heard about it.
	We have ancient Greek virtue ethics.
	That's me there with a mayoral campaign smile.
	We're talking about Timbler's wisdom about the good life.
	And we're going to have a webinar, just like we did last week with Carl.
	Hundreds of people came and watched our conversation about why we are doing this course.
	This Thursday at 6 p.m.
	I'm going to be joined by Bo and we're going to discuss about what the course involves and who it helps and why most probably this is the course you want to buy.
	And that webinar, that's free.
	Yeah, it's just free.
	Just sign up for that and you can, you might get to ask us a question in real life.
	Yep.
	Well, virtually, but still in real time.
	The real us.
	Sorry.
	Do join.
	Do join.
	And we're going to have a QA section.
	Most of it's going to be a Q ⁇ A section about course-related questions.
	It's not going to be about irrelevant stuff.
	It's going to be our relevant stuff.
	Right.
	Okay, over to me then.
	Yeah.
	Over to me, I take it.
	All right.
	We're professional here.
	Professional.
	Okay.
	Start the YouTube segment.
	Do you guys remember in January this year, a massive chunk of Los Angeles burnt down?
	Remember that?
	Yeah.
	Remember that?
	Yeah.
	And I remember that some not particularly qualified people were members of the fire department.
	Yeah.
	Was a bit woke, wasn't it?
	Oh, yeah, that was a woman, wasn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Female fire chief or something like that.
	Well, yeah, the LA FD had all sorts of issues around it.
	So I thought what I'll do in this segment is try and make it a bit more structured than my last big segment about 3i Atlas.
	Some people were concerned that wasn't structured enough.
	So this one's going to be a military, strictly regimented.
	I'm going to talk about just what happened in case anyone doesn't remember or it passed you by at that time.
	So I'm just going to talk about what happened and then the reaction to it at the time in the mainstream media and now what we know now.
	So, all right, so to begin with then, well, let's just play this little video, which gives you a little bit of detail of sort of where we are right now today.
	Did this Uber driver start one of the most devastating fires in LA history, the Palisades fire?
	29-year-old Jonathan Rinderneck was taken into custody and is charged with setting a small fire on New Year's Day that burned underground, eventually erupting a week later into the Palisades fire that devastated the wealthy neighborhood.
	He dropped someone off.
	He was in this neighborhood and he went up to this hilltop around 12-12 a.m.
	He ignited a fire.
	During the investigation, two of his passengers described his mood the night the fire was ignited.
	He appeared agitated and angry that night.
	The arrest comes after a nine-month investigation.
	He was the only person in this location at the time this fire ignited.
	We have no other indication that any other person was there.
	There were no fireworks at the time.
	As evidence, authorities cited these images he generated of a burning city via AI.
	They also say in the weeks leading up to the fire, Rinderneck watched a music video that shows a French rapper starting small fires.
	I'm in the heart of the Pacific Palisades, where the unspeakable destruction occurred.
	More than 6,800 structures were leveled.
	Now months later, it's still a sea of empty lots.
	Just a handful of homes are currently being rebuilt.
	Olympic swimmer Gary Hall Jr.
	Okay, that's enough of that.
	So the first thing I want to say is the sort of the extent of it.
	Being in Britain, it's just sort of, you know, just one more story, right, in our Twitter feeds or whatever.
	One more thing that's going on in the world.
	But when you look at it in any sort of detail, it's like, it's remarkable how massive this thing was.
	How like truly devastating it was.
	I mean, I remember at the time, but you just sort of get on with your life, don't you?
	It's like, well, I don't live in LA.
	So, yeah, that's really bad.
	Like, well, that was a big one, but I've got to get on with my life in Wiltshire on the other side of the Atlantic.
	But just so just say, there's actually more than one fire.
	So right away, that's like suspicious.
	That's telling.
	But so the Palisades fire, which was one of like four different fires, it killed 12 people.
	That's massive and that tragedy, yeah.
	Yeah, really bad.
	To be burnt alive is a horrific death.
	Absolutely horrific death.
	I can't think of many worse ones, really.
	Hopefully you pass out through smoke inhalation before you actually feel yourself being burnt alive.
	I mean, 12 people, that's terrible.
	6,000 homes.
	6,000 homes.
	Bloody hell.
	It's massive.
	Yeah, that's massive.
	That's the size of a small town, just that, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Or not even that small, really.
	Yeah, in one of the other fires, another 19 people were killed and another 9,400 structures burnt down.
	23,000 acres, that's 9,300 odd hectares of land.
	Again, that's a giant space.
	American cities, particularly out west, are much more sprawling than what we're used to in Britain or Europe.
	But that's a fantastic area.
	And 150 billion billion dollars worth of damage.
	That's something in the order of £112 billion sterling of damage.
	Insane.
	Yeah, you sort of can't really.
	It's madness.
	Like, Twitter went for, what was it, something like 50 billion or something.
	EA Sports was something like 50 billion.
	So three times that.
	Sort of a crazy, crazy amount of damage.
	And all those lives as well.
	And are they saying that he was the only person there?
	Yeah.
	Have they eliminated the possibility of spontaneous combustion?
	No.
	Okay.
	I mean, so there's a few things to say.
	So there's actually more than one fire.
	So it seems like there's more than one thing going on.
	This is just like the first guy they've got, it seems like.
	One of the fires is just called the Palisades fire.
	And he seems to have been responsible for that.
	But it does seem to be a slam dunk that he, well, as you saw in that clip, they pinged his phone.
	He was the only one there.
	He was the only one there.
	And we'll get to it a bit later, but those things about the images he looked up and the videos he watched.
	I mean, that's all a bit more circumstantial.
	Although, well, we'll get to that towards the end when we talk about him and his possible motives and things.
	But whether he started it seems to be just absolutely the case.
	One other little data point is that he seems to have at some point afterwards searched for on his phone something like, are you responsible for a fire if you accidentally set one with your cigarette by accident?
	Sort of thing.
	And the FBI or the cops or whatever are saying he's just trying to fabricate, fabricate a little bit of evidence after the fact.
	That's bullshit.
	That's sort of nonsense.
	But okay, yeah, so again, just before we move on to other details, just how big the fire was.
	Oh, wow, yeah.
	So look, well, if it's superimposed onto New York or London, from Greenwich out to Clapham is the area, if you know London well.
	Like a giant, giant area.
	Again, LA is a bit more sprawling than most cities, but nonetheless.
	And so look, the different fires.
	This place called Eton was a massive one.
	A massive one.
	Manabo, I mean, a lot of these properties, you know, down by the coast, very, very, very exclusive and expensive.
	And so one thing to say, the fact there are multiple fires, it seems like it's almost certainly the case that there are multiple things going on.
	Like wild, spontaneous, real wildfires don't really break out in four different places like that.
	Most probably it's arson.
	Well, yeah.
	Well, certainly the Palisades fire is arson.
	It seems just completely does it seem at this point.
	I mean, the guy isn't convicted yet.
	We'll talk about that just before we came on.
	It's usually best to wait till a court case is finished and someone's convicted, and then you can say with 100% certainty this person is guilty.
	But just from what the FBI released, it seems it's like there's no question it was this dude.
	We said it's arson.
	We didn't say who did it.
	Right.
	Maybe this guy was asking for a friend.
	Say, are you accidentally responsible for accidentally setting up a fire?
	Asking for a friend.
	Yeah, asking for a friend.
	In Minecraft, did you burn down LA in Minecraft?
	Yes or no?
	So again, the areas of Altadina.
	I mean, look how big.
	It was, yeah, again, once again, just to stress the point, for us, it's something like, oh, look, that terrible thing happened in LA.
	Two days later, you're like, next thing, you sort of forget about it if you're not from there, I suppose.
	But yeah, like a huge.
	Yeah, huge, huge area, huge devastation.
	And a lot of these people, they're not all sort super, super rich people in Malibu that can afford to lose one of their many homes and were insured anyway.
	A lot of these people were just normal working-class people, even poor, and weren't necessarily insured.
	Or it turns out after the case, classic insurance company thing, they say, oh, yeah, no, your insurance doesn't cover this.
	So that's it.
	You've just lost everything.
	That's the case for a lot of these poor people.
	Yeah, just a little bit more.
	Maybe we not play the.
	I don't think there's much audio on this.
	But yeah, it was a big thing.
	It was a big thing.
	Anyway.
	It's also, I don't know, but it seems to me that it's weird that it happened in January.
	Maybe I'm completely wrong about this because I judge it from Greece where we have wildfires almost every summer.
	I think that, you know, on the usually you have wildfires when it's very hot.
	I don't know if January is that hot in California.
	Maybe people from California can correct me, but.
	I don't know.
	It is weird and suspicious.
	Yeah, so usually, most places in the world, yeah, it's when it's summer.
	Yeah.
	When all the brush and well, the wildfires, it's like tinder dryer.
	Natural wildfires are, of course, absolutely a real thing and happen all the time, every year, all over the place.
	But it's the climate change lobby, the climate change people that try and make out that there's wildfires in Greece or in Australia or something.
	Again, it's the climate.
	No, they happen every single year.
	It's like loads of people are dying of COVID.
	Well, you mean flu?
	Yeah, millions of people die of the old people, sick people die of the flu every single year.
	Yeah, that's what that's the world.
	So don't try and make out now that it's something new and weird and bizarre and unexplainable or anything.
	But yeah, the fact it was in December, well, it seems like this guy, at least the Palisades fire, he went up this certain trail and deliberately did it.
	Just deliberately did it.
	Yeah, on like New Year's Eve or minutes into the new year.
	Actually, there is a small detail.
	It seems like the fire didn't just immediately blaze into some giant inferno.
	It sort of smoldered for it's just totally a thing.
	It sort of just smoldered for ages, like days.
	Even burning underground, that's a thing that can happen quite often in forests and things.
	Like the undergrowth can smolder for a very, very long time and then burst out into a new fire again.
	And anyway, something like that seems like it happened there.
	There has to be a wind for it to become massive.
	Right, yeah.
	Also, yeah, in the report I'll get to in a moment, they said it was like a it was like a perfect storm of bad sort of bad conditions that made it series of unfortunate events as bad as it was, yeah.
	Again, places that uh it should be absolutely fine are now just like a um a wasteland and um you know they wouldn't have been if it wasn't for that guy John John Rinder Jonathan Rindernecht So actually let's watch a few seconds let's watch the first minute or so of this of this video.
	I think it's quite revealing says that that is complete the removal of hazardous materials from this site is complete mission accomplished that Looks like there's a lot left to do.
	But I don't know, you tell me in the comment section what you think about that.
	This was the building where my grandpa got his hair cut for like 50 years.
	This is eight months after the fire.
	Look at this.
	Melted.
	So that's the thing I think that's interesting.
	We're now eight months down the line.
	Nine months down the line.
	And it's still sort of like that.
	You think that one of the greatest nation, arguably the greatest nation on the earth, one of the richest, would have sort of begun to clean it up properly by now.
	The state of California should have.
	Why does it still look like that?
	You could have easily...
	I mean, how long are we down the road now?
	It happened in January.
	But when was it put out?
	Was it put out in January?
	Oh, no, it took weeks and weeks to put it out.
	So yeah, maybe it is more like eight months.
	But still.
	That could all be cleared and you could lay the framework ready to go.
	That's absurd, isn't it?
	I don't know if...
	Bandits, man.
	Standards are slipping across the board.
	Yeah, come on.
	It's an embarrassment, California.
	I don't think Gavin Newsom is particularly doing a good job.
	Oh, no, sure.
	Like, the internal economy of California is bigger than most countries in the whole world.
	If they've got the resources, if they really, really wanted, if Gavin, or maybe it's the mayor of LA, I actually don't know, but if they really, really wanted to have cleaned it up and started rebuilding it by now, they would have done.
	It seems like they don't want to.
	I remember Trump was saying that he would withhold federal funding for this if Newsom was putting up a fight against him.
	But I don't think it's just an issue of Trump on this one.
	They are trying to present it as if this is Trump's fault.
	Most probably, if we are not fixing it, it's because Trump doesn't give us the money to.
	It's the classic thing quite a lot of lefties do, isn't it, is cut off their own nose to spike their face.
	We'll ruin our own city if it means we can rhetorically jab at Trump.
	Good one.
	Yeah, well done.
	Good one.
	Yeah.
	Like Portland, we'll allow that sort of, do you remember that chazz?
	Yeah.
	That chaz thing.
	We'll sort of ruin a bit of our own city just so we can virtually signal against Trump in some way.
	Back at the Republicans, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well done.
	Yeah, brilliant.
	Okay, so the little thing I want to read out is actually from a BBC article.
	It said, hours after Mr. Rinderneck's arrest, that's that 29-year-old dude that is accused of starting at least the Palisades of fire, not necessarily all of them.
	The City of Los Angeles Fire Department released its long-awaited after-action review report on the Palisades fire, which detailed the first 36 hours of the department's response.
	The report, meant to identify lessons learned from the response and to enhance preparedness and response for future wildfires, found firefighters did not have enough resources for the red flag weather conditions and hurricane force winds that fueled the fire.
	So there was particular wind conditions which made it like terrible.
	The LAFD, the fire department, listed nearly 100 challenges that firefighters faced during the Palisades fire, which burned for 25 days and forced many fire responders to work for 36 to 48 hours straight.
	And a quote directly from the report says, responders were faced with the inevitable consequences of a perfect storm, dry vegetation, unrelenting and unusual wind activity, significant ember cast, a landscape packed with combustible vegetation, large vulnerable structures, a diminishing water supply, and a loss of aerial suppression support.
	End quote.
	So it's a number of things.
	Again, you would have hoped that LA or California would have had everything in place for exactly this sort of thing.
	And it seems like, at least after the initial few days, it sort of ran out and it just...
	Well, it's priorities, isn't it?
	I mean, you know, it never ceases to amaze me that here in the UK, there is a point to this.
	Is that every year we get like the tiniest bit of snow and everything grinds to a halt and you're like, right.
	I'd understand that if that was a freak event.
	But if it's year on year, you should have something in place to mitigate that and you don't.
	Therefore, you're like, you failed.
	It's the same thing with this.
	No first world country should have a water supply issue, especially when they're in a state that has wildfires.
	That's nonsense.
	Like, that's intentional or just a willful slip of standards where people just don't care and their directions are elsewhere on other things.
	It's madness to me.
	It's madness.
	No, you're quite right.
	In Britain, yeah, a little bit of snow.
	And it's like, there's snow on the line, all the trains are cancelled.
	It's like, well, what do they do in Norway and Canada then?
	Oh, they deal with it.
	They know that's going to come and they've got stuff in place.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Or in autumn when the leaves fall, there's like there's leaves on the track.
	All the trains are stopped.
	Come on.
	Are our leftists particularly known for planning for the future and for long-term thinking?
	Not really.
	They do love a five-year plan.
	Don't they?
	But yeah.
	Look how successful those were.
	They do love a command economy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But their plans always fail because they're absurd.
	Okay, alright.
	So they're the facts.
	Hopefully, they're the facts.
	That's what happened back in January.
	Terrible thing.
	30-plus people died.
	Loads of people lost everything.
	And untold amounts of animals would have died as well.
	Yeah, I'm sure, yeah.
	Yeah, an actual environmental disaster on some level.
	Yeah, of course.
	So at the time, if anyone remembers, we were told by the corporate legacy mainstream media, or liars, as I like to call them, it's a climate change issue.
	This was a climate change issue.
	And unless you don't remember or you don't believe me, I've just got a few headlines from a few different places just showing that it's climate change.
	Climate change was the problem.
	Time magazine.
	It's the Palisades fire.
	Maybe the rising heat is making people more likely to start a fire.
	Maybe there's a kind of correlation there.
	Causation.
	Actually, I was going to put this article a bit later.
	It makes you go ape.
	Well, the thing is, they do try and, they're trying to paint this guy as just a fire bug.
	I've seen that thrown around loads.
	I.e.
	an arsonist, i.e.
	like a pyromaniac.
	He just loves fires.
	There's nothing more to that.
	I mean, that's mad enough when it's an incident and bad enough on its own.
	But there's not much more to see here other than he's just a fire bug.
	He's just a pyromaniac.
	He's just obsessed with setting fires.
	Don't worry about anything else, any of his other views or anything.
	But we'll get to that towards the end.
	Actually, I'm already going for time.
	But so, yeah, there's just loads and loads and loads of articles at the time saying it was BBC, climate change, whiplash.
	That was the thing they kept saying for some reason.
	There's climate whiplash in LA.
	That's what caused the fires.
	Yeah.
	Oh, the Council for Foreign Relations chipping in.
	Don't know if anyone knows anything about the Council for Foreign Relations.
	Sorry, Council on Foreign Relations.
	Yeah, absolute globalist scumbags.
	Of course they chipped in.
	Like fires in Malibu have got anything to do with foreign policy.
	Council on foreign relations.
	NPR?
	Yeah, cool.
	Of course they did.
	Yeah, of course they did.
	They chipped in.
	NBC, yep, yep.
	Oh, yep.
	It's climate change, climate change.
	Al Jazeera.
	Consume narrative.
	Regurgitate.
	The Guardian.
	The line.
	The Guardian are saying it.
	Yeah, ABC News, Climate Change.
	CNN, Climate Change.
	Who is this?
	PBS.
	PBS, it's Climate Change.
	The Independent, Climate Change.
	You get the picture.
	I'm labouring the point.
	Oh, the LA Times themselves.
	There you go.
	It's climate change.
	Alright.
	Well, since now, it's broken.
	It was a few days ago, actually, the news broke that the police had got their guy.
	It's Jonathan Rindeneck, or whatever his name is.
	And so surprisingly little is being said about really what his motive was.
	Nonetheless, it doesn't stop sort of lefty news from saying, oh, even though we've got, even though it seems to have been arson, at least the Palisades one, even though it's sort of almost certainly is definitely deliberate arson, it still doesn't mean that climate change wasn't a factor.
	It's still climate change.
	Our narrative's still good.
	It's still good.
	Yeah.
	Media Matters.
	This scumbag, Alison Fisher, never heard of her, but still trying to...
	There are loads and loads of arguments of why.
	Still climate change, though.
	It's still climate change.
	It's just right-wing, just right-wing commentators jumping on the bandwagon.
	Look, right-wing media personalities seize on the arson charge.
	What you mean, the truth?
	Of falsely denying the role of climate change in Palisades fire.
	What are you talking about?
	What role?
	What are you talking about, Alex?
	gets convicted there is no role of climate change in the fire the point is what yeah if it Even if you agree that both sides do this, there is one side that never does the job it's supposed to do.
	So, yeah, I mean, they're constantly talking about right-wing media personalities.
	Are you doing the job you're supposed to do?
	Are you protecting the common good?
	They never do.
	Yeah, yeah, right.
	That's really right.
	So, finally, let's just fight on to finish up.
	Let's just talk about what may have been his actual motivation if dare I suggest it.
	It wasn't simply pyromania.
	So, on this on CBS here, they actually ask the police, the head of the investigation, they did like an eight-nine-month investigation to catch this guy.
	He fled from the west coast to the east coast.
	They caught it, arrested him in Florida.
	So, he tried to get away with it.
	Anyway, in the police press conference, they didn't say what his motivation was at all.
	They even just said, it's not for us to speculate what's in people's minds.
	It is.
	Well, it kind of is, yeah.
	It's a job, actually.
	It's part of your job.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Are they covering up for something?
	Yeah, obviously that.
	Anyway, this is what she's looking at.
	Yes, it is an incinerary fire.
	He wanted to see the Palisades burn.
	I'm not going to go into his motive and what he was trying to do with that.
	Other than we know he started that fire.
	Oh, brilliant.
	Oh, cheers for that.
	Cheers for that.
	A wealth of information there.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate that.
	It's funny, isn't it?
	He almost looks like he knew he let something slip that he shouldn't have done there.
	Yeah.
	He's like, oh, so he wanted to see it, Bern.
	Yeah.
	I won't go into that no, no, no, no.
	Oh, you begin to even touch on motive, so I'll just turtle up and I can't say, I don't know.
	Yeah, it's...
	Suspicious.
	It screams suspicious.
	The way the...
	Cover up.
	The way the media, certainly the left-leaning media, will just liar by omission.
	I call it sort of like a Damalola syndrome, maybe, or Benazir Bhutto syndrome, where the second the narrative isn't what they want, they just don't talk about it.
	As simple as that.
	It's just not talked about.
	Let's move on.
	Yeah.
	It was an interesting little clip here I've got to sort of finish up on with it more or less.
	Is that he was an Uber driver, this guy.
	And it was New Year's Eve, New Year's Day.
	And he'd given people a lift like fairly quite soon before he actually did it.
	He did it about midnight or just after.
	And Fox News interviewed one of the people that he actually gave a lift to.
	And this is what the guy said.
	I couldn't believe it.
	I felt like I was witnessing in the middle of history on accident.
	Brennan White showing me the receipt for an Uber ride with a driver named John on New Year's Eve.
	Right before investigators believe Uber driver Jonathan Rinderneck started a fire that eventually erupted into the Palisades fire.
	We got an Uber ride and it was late at night and the Uber driver was acting super crazy.
	He was going on, we weren't even really talking to him.
	He was just ranting, going on rants about Trump and how he hated Trump so much and how he can't find a girlfriend.
	There's no good girls out here.
	Really just mad at the world.
	Dropped us off.
	Didn't think anything of it.
	And then on February 27th, I got a phone call.
	You know, fires had ended.
	I got a phone call from a detective, LAPD detective.
	Actually, this guy, other than that, is a bit of a bit of a drip.
	But anyway, what it has emerged is this one article from the New York Post, which is slightly revealing.
	Well, there we go.
	Seems like this guy is really, really anti-Trump.
	Really, really pro-climate change agenda.
	Pro-Kamala, pro-Biotin.
	He's like a vegan.
	all those different types of things he's like the classic now i'm not going to say he's like a full-blown antifa or something We don't know yet.
	We just don't know yet.
	But there is lots and lots of suggestions and indications that he's absolutely like a climate change bro, anti-Trump bro.
	All that stuff.
	All that stuff.
	Climate change bro, so I'm going to set everything on fire.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well done, mate.
	Well done.
	The climate change agenda and the alibi.
	Well done mate.
	It's the alibi.
	Perfect alibi.
	So we'll see what emerges sort of at his trial, I suppose, whether that is definitely the case.
	Whether he was one of those people that, you know, deliberately tries to make it look like the climate crisis is much worse than it is.
	Certainly the mainstream legacy corporate media helped him along with that, didn't they?
	Yeah.
	They just immediately jumped on it.
	So, well, anyway, my heart does still go out to all those people that lost everything and those that lost their lives in that fire.
	It was a really, really dreadful thing.
	Right.
	So Sketch Therapy says they delay rebuilding to force sale of lots cheap.
	Dreadnought Logan says California resident here, they still haven't let us rebuild and had to fight for the cleanup.
	The city has been trying to seize all the property.
	Steely Fang says climate change is just a fancy way of saying it's Democrats' fault.
	The Engaged Hughes says conservative actor James Woods lives in the fire zone.
	Left-wing X wished his house would burn.
	He posted pictures of his neighborhood and his house was the only one that didn't burn.
	The Engaged Hugh also says the fire chief who said that a man who needed to be carried from a fire is to blame.
	Right.
	Let's go to right.
	Okay.
	I think that the Democrat Party is in a bit of a disarray.
	They are in an internal meltdown.
	Fair.
	The last year, perhaps actually the last decade, I haven't heard them making particular sense.
	Not good for them, is it?
	They don't have a clear leading voice at the moment.
	Yeah, but it seems to me that the BS is rising exponentially.
	Regale me, Stelios.
	Regale me.
	At the exact moment they probably should have got real and serious.
	Yeah.
	They've gone bananas.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	But we actually did say that.
	Of course they have.
	We actually did say that they would go bananas.
	I remember we were doing the election live stream.
	There were some people who were saying that the left is going to go in an inward mode and they're going to become a bit more serious, both after the UK elections last year and after the US elections.
	I think we were firmly of the opinion that they wouldn't.
	Just double down.
	Yeah.
	We were basically left to lose.
	That's all they've got.
	All that their worldview is based on a foundation of sand.
	Yeah.
	And they've got no other option.
	Yeah, and just look at how they reacted to the non-cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel.
	They basically started portraying themselves as the defenders of free speech and the First Amendment, and basically no one is buying it.
	Now we have something that I didn't expect because at some point, you know, you want to see there has to be an end to the BS.
	But no, they're going to go with more.
	So I want to show you how they have reacted in the last few days because it seems that what Trump did in the Middle East has definitely contributed to them losing their minds even more.
	What little sanity they had.
	So basically Trump, what he did was that he helped to achieve at least a temporary peace into the Middle East.
	Now, a temporary ceasefire.
	Now, these ceasefires don't last very long in the Middle East, but we have to give credit where it's due.
	So he did do a good job.
	But as Bo was saying in the previous segment, when the left doesn't get its way, it changes the subject.
	When they can't ask, they change the subject.
	So now Gavin Newsom is changing the subject.
	And he says, the only thing Donald Trump can keep open these days is an umbrella.
	Wasn't that even mean?
	So you're talking about the government shutdown?
	Maybe.
	Is that a reference to that?
	Maybe he can't keep the government open.
	Is that what you mean?
	I don't even know.
	It could mean all sorts of things.
	It's on October the 13th, which was the day when Trump was in the Middle East.
	And that was a day that, I mean, you have to, if you want to be sort of serious, you have to say that this is at least something that is good.
	But no, all Gavin Newsome had to say was that the only thing Trump can keep up with these days is an umbrella.
	Now, speaking of California, Gavin Newsom is someone who I think will want to become president in 2028.
	And there's a question of to whose capable hands will the California governorship be left to.
	And one of the Democratic candidates who will run for the governorship of California is Katie Porter.
	Do you know Katie Porter?
	No, this is new to me.
	I've only become aware of her over the last couple of days.
	So she says something that is a bit correct, that after a while, the Democrats have to ask, who are they as Democrats?
	And that they have to be very much against Trump.
	And here I want to show you a very good clip about who she is.
	Could we play the Samson?
	She is talking and someone is behind her on the shot.
	Let's play this.
	Air pollution and other problems.
	And the state that loses out of my shop.
	I want to tell you that that's actually incorrect.
	It's not that it's a lot of money cause.
	It's that if we don't need a commitment, I know the power is.
	Okay, okay.
	It does.
	Okay, okay.
	You also were in my shop before that.
	Not only does she lose.
	Out of my shop.
	Is that on Fox News?
	They played it on Fox News.
	I think that was from Politico on a podcast.
	But not only did she lose completely her temper, did she completely lose her temper, but she was also corrected by the person.
	Yeah.
	You don't speak to people like that.
	If anyone spoke to me like that, I'd be like, no, wait, stop everything.
	Who do you think you're talking to?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Get out of your shot.
	You don't speak to me.
	You don't speak to another adult like that.
	Right.
	I've genuinely.
	Yeah.
	I'm kind of speechless at that, to be fair.
	What the hell?
	Right.
	So after Gavin Newsome and Katie Porter, we are going to Kamala Harris and see what she's up to these days.
	October the 13th, she had a rant against Columbus Day.
	And basically she said, European explorers ushered in a wave of devastation, violence, stealing land and disease.
	They stop also the ASDAC parties.
	Yeah.
	So this could have been us today.
	Is she making an argument against illegal migration?
	We don't want them people coming from overseas.
	They bring diseases with them.
	They're fine.
	Those ones are all right.
	It's just the Europeans, the white Europeans she's got an issue with.
	They didn't bring anything else.
	They didn't bring any benefits of civilization.
	She's sober for this one, is she?
	Yeah, I was going to say, is she still on the source?
	She's still sloshed out of her mind.
	Yeah, and now the Democrats, the Democrats are going the Democratic socialist way, which is a way of them saying basically that they're socialists, but they try to sugarcoat it somehow.
	And one of the big names now is Zoran Mamdani.
	Oh, I hate this picture.
	Let's look at what he said about Christopher Columbus.
	Here he is in front of a statue of Christopher and he says, take it down.
	And this is from August.
	No, it's from June 18th, 2020.
	It's a port, mate.
	Yeah, and he is basically giving a middle finger to Columbus.
	Go back to Uganda.
	Just a quick word.
	Christopher Columbus got more guts and balls and tenacity than that man could ever dream of.
	He couldn't even comprehend the amount of daring do that Christopher Columbus undertook.
	And he doesn't eat with his hands.
	So civilized as well.
	Christopher Columbus did an unbelievable feat to cross the Atlantic, at least for the first time.
	I mean, he did do some other things when he was governor that were questionable, but still.
	It's like the Europeans brought nothing good to the North American continent.
	That's it, because you can definitely...
	What obvious nonsense?
	Exactly, because it's basically anti-European propaganda and anti-Western civilization propaganda.
	Because if you just look at the talking points of democratic socialism, that's exactly where it's going.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's the Europeans that made the United States the most powerful country in the world to win, to end up winning World War II on two fronts at the same time and then the Cold War becoming the world's only hyperpower.
	That was European culture and civilization that did that.
	You're welcome.
	Yeah.
	You're welcome.
	Yeah, but Mamdani hates we propagated the West.
	This is one of the reasons why Mamdani hates it.
	But he has a tough time.
	He has a tough time now because they are saying that basically he received illegal foreign donations.
	Oh, I didn't think you were allowed to foreign donations.
	But they were against foreign interference.
	Brown politician corrupt?
	Surely not.
	And they say mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani has taken almost 13,000 in potentially illegal foreign donations to fund his campaign, according to New York Post.
	Well, they say potentially here.
	Let me just rephrase what I said before for caution's sake.
	And basically they're saying one donation comes from Mamdani's mother-in-law in Dubai.
	Well, $2,100 came from James Furlude, an environmental scientist at Australia's University of Tasmania.
	Another $2,800 $100 came from Dubai-based investor Ada Diaz Ahmed and $250 from June Dai Bates Kobashigawa, according to the New York City Campaign Finance Board records seen by the Post.
	Now, I will say, when I heard this, I expected there to be greater sums, but still, there's the ethical issue of the matter as to whether you are basically correct when you're saying that you're going to fight corruption.
	You're going to fight illegality when you're accepting illegal foreign donations.
	Whatever the sum, it looks like this seems to be a foreign interference.
	Now, I'm not the one to judge it.
	I'm not a judge, but few activist judges, please.
	That's odd, isn't it?
	From Dubai to Tasmania.
	Yeah, because it's weird.
	Like, what's a guy in Tasmania giving him money for?
	But okay, whatever.
	Whatever.
	Right.
	So, do you know Letitia James?
	Hey, do you know Letitia James?
	Rings a bell.
	She's Attorney General of New York.
	She's one of the main people who prosecuted Trump.
	Oh, yeah.
	And she was saying essentially she accused Trump of inflating his assets in order to get favorable loans and engage in economic relations with favorable conditions.
	There's a clip from her saying, I think it was just, I think maybe it was before he got in.
	It must have been before he got in.
	There's just a clip of her just explicitly saying, we'll do anything it takes to get him.
	We're essentially saying any old Trumped up charge, pun not intended actually.
	Any old Trumped up charge, anything we can do to get him, we will do.
	Like, that's exactly the wrong attitude for like a DA or whatever she is.
	But it's totally consistent with a Democrat mindset to say something like this and then wonder why people think that, you know, why would this actually help Trump?
	Because if they're blatantly saying we're going to weaponize justice against Trump, then how can they accuse Trump of weaponized justice against them?
	They're losing the moral ground.
	She's a true scumbag.
	That's the face of someone that is wounding the Republic.
	If the Republic spirals down into oblivion and death, it's people like her that did it.
	So she is also accused of committing federal fraud.
	She was indicted.
	Really?
	And the mainstream media is with her in saying that this was entirely something that is Trump's retaliations.
	But let us see what the accusations are and what's going on.
	So they're saying she has been criminally indicted on federal bank fraud charges over a property she purchased in Virginia.
	Trump has pushed his officials to legally pursue James among other political opponents of his.
	She denies any wrongdoing, calling the case a desperate weaponization on our justice system.
	Wait, what?
	How can you say that with a straight face?
	Yeah, but desperate weaponization, is it?
	Pretty certain saying, well, we'll stop at nothing.
	We'll do everything it takes to get him.
	Pretty certain that sounds quite desperate.
	Isn't it okay when they do it?
	Well, this is what they say, isn't it?
	It's like a classic case of effing around and finding out.
	Yeah, let's see.
	She hasn't been found guilty yet by court.
	But let's see how this will evolve.
	But there is some interesting issues about the case, which I'm going to briefly tell you right now.
	Basically, what happened is that what the accusation is, is that she basically gave false evidence and statements to the federal bank in order to secure a loan with favorable conditions.
	Now, again, the sum they're talking about isn't that big.
	It's $18,933, close to £14k pounds, and that she misrepresented this in order to portray a property she got as a rental investment property.
	And no, she basically said that that was going to be her secondary residence.
	And it looks like she used it as a rental investment property.
	But if that, let's see what else happened, because it looks like she was harboring someone.
	She was giving shelter to one of her grandnieces in that house.
	Let's see here, a guardian and Letitia and the political.
	They're basically framing this as being Tramp's attack.
	And let us see this here.
	There was an article by the Daily Mail saying that there's a tenant living in their house who's her grandniece called Nakia Thompson along with her children who is basically an absconder and she's living in their house.
	Like the US Marshals want her to or she failed to come to court or something.
	Well, maybe she she fled the I think she fled North Carolina.
	They're saying an absconder is considered a fugitive.
	Thompson faces arrest if she's located in North Carolina.
	He said her crimes of assault and trespass are considered non-extraditable due to their low level.
	But it seems like there is the moral issue.
	And this is something that is sort of contributing to the Democrats losing their, the alleged moral ground they think they occupy.
	I don't think they do, but.
	He was harboring a fugitive.
	Yeah.
	Pan Bondi wants every in-house, outhouse, henhouse, and doghouse searched in that area.
	Yeah.
	We can't be having fugitives.
	Wow.
	Just get lunch, please.
	Nakia Thompson stay to that.
	Right.
	So basically, I don't know if I'll be honest.
	I don't know what's going to happen out of it, if she's going to be found guilty or not.
	But we'll see what happens.
	It's going to be an interesting case.
	But one thing I will say, because I do want to be very fair with my reporting, is that I don't know if what's the case going to be precisely here.
	Because if she said it's going to be a primary residence and she was renting the house, but then she had her grannies, they were living for free, it's going to be weird.
	But it does look like it's suspicious, at least to the sheltering and absconder on your house.
	Right.
	Now, you know that the Democrats have an issue with law enforcement.
	I don't understand how they think that they can have a country without a border policy and without law enforcement.
	It looks like they are trying to prepare the ground for anarcho-tyranny.
	I mean, I'm not happy for saying this, but who is against law enforcement?
	Who is against deporting people who are in a country legally?
	And here we have Governor Pretzka who is threatening to prosecute people working on ICE for enforcing the law and saying that let's listen to what he says.
	Samson, could you please play this video?
	The tables will turn someday.
	These people should recognize that maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although we're looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things that they did because the statute of limitations won't have run.
	Oh, no.
	I don't know.
	It's a mad thing.
	To turn against ICE or to defund the police, anything like that is madness.
	It's absolute madness.
	All it means is that you want anarchy.
	That's all that means.
	On the side of the country.
	That means you want to destroy the country.
	That's all it means every time.
	On the side of violent criminals.
	I mean, it shouldn't be in the country.
	Aren't they the ones who have activist mayors and activists inside several institutions who are constantly pushing for giving criminals and sometimes really hardcore criminals many more chances and they're releasing them all the time, like the Carlos Brown Jr. who murdered Irina Zarutska in 13 times.
	Yeah, 14 times released.
	Because basically they have activists who don't care about the common good but care just about their agenda.
	And here, just like the Chicago mayor, who was outraged in 2023 about Texas busying illegal aliens to his city.
	And today he is basically outraged against ICE.
	They don't have any moral.
	Morals, do they?
	They actually have no morals at all.
	Do you remember the previous mayor of Chicago, that female black woman, you remember her?
	I can't remember her name now, but she was all over the news all the time.
	And you thought that the new guy coming in would be better.
	He made a few noises that he wouldn't be as insane as her.
	And he's absolutely as insane as her, if not worse, actually.
	Every time we think that things can get worse, they get worse.
	Just whatever's in favor of gangs and violence and anarchy and stuff, he's in favor for.
	Anything that even tries, even tries to address the issue, he's got an issue with and the problem with and will fight against.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if that's what the people of Chicago vote for, right?
	I mean, if you, for years and years and years, I know it's the same in Britain.
	We voted the Labour Party in, okay, it's, but still, like, I don't know, isn't it?
	It's client classes, you know, like he's appealing to people that are going to keep him in power.
	Criminals, violent thugs.
	Yeah, they've got the right to vote.
	So, yeah, they'll vote for him, I guess.
	I mean, yeah.
	Your best bet is just to leave.
	Just leave those places.
	Let them rot.
	And then take them back afterwards.
	It's as if they are waging war against standards.
	But someone is going to make the difference.
	Actor Martin Sheen.
	He actually has high standards for a change.
	And Donald Trump doesn't meet his standards.
	And he said the day where Trump was in the Middle East, he said, you're the biggest nothing in the world.
	Stop listening to all these people around you, the sycophants, who are encouraging you to be your non-human self.
	You contributed to temporary ceasefire into the Middle East, but what have you done about social media posts?
	What?
	So that was my reading between the lines.
	No, none of this makes any sense.
	Martin Sheen is so obnoxious.
	He thinks he's actually Josiah Bartlett, President Bartlett.
	Don't know if you remember the West Wing.
	It's quite a 90s thing.
	There was a long-running show, The West Wing, where Martin Sheen played the president.
	Yeah.
	Josiah Bartlett.
	He thinks he's actually like an important voice in politics.
	And he's like one of the most left-wing anti-Trump Trump derangement syndrome, like Robert De Niro.
	He's that far gone.
	If you can't agree anything positive from your sort of political, you're just an ideologue.
	Right?
	Like, just a straight-up ideologue.
	How can you not acknowledge that Trump's achieved something positive?
	Like, it's there.
	Plain to see.
	Even if you hate him, yeah, sure, fine, hate him.
	It's fine, whatever.
	But at least acknowledge that he's done something good.
	And if you can't do that, you're just out on yourself as a freak.
	You're discrediting your voice, basically.
	But I do respect the fact that he has high standards and he focuses on the character gap on the left and says, let's raise things.
	We need to do more than what Trump did.
	Now, speaking of character, we have a new course out, ancient Greek virtue ethics.
	Let's raise the standards upwards.
	Let's raise the standards.
	Sorry.
	And discuss about timeless wisdom about the good life.
	I'm having this course.
	We're releasing it where we're talking about the ancient wisdom of ancient Greek ethics and how we should raise ourselves, raise ourselves from the gutter that contemporary society is trying to plunge us in.
	Right.
	So do consider by this course and also sign up for a webinar tomorrow at 6 p.m.
	It's going to be me and Bo.
	We're going to discuss about what this course is.
	What is most probably a course that's going to help you?
	Who is it for?
	And we're going to ask Q ⁇ A that is course related.
	Right.
	So let's go back to the other celebrity.
	Mark Ruffalo.
	A nothing of a human being.
	Absolutely nothing going on in your brain, Mark.
	You're a moron.
	But aren't you a bit harsh?
	Imbecile.
	No.
	Aren't you a bit harsh now?
	I'm being tame.
	I'm being super tame.
	I hate this guy.
	He's such a clown.
	Completely insufferable every time.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but isn't he a good guy?
	He is advocating.
	He wants fairness and equality and justice.
	No, he wants equity.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's all double speak for destroy America.
	Yeah.
	That's all double speak for communism.
	Yeah.
	Destroy white people.
	And white people, yeah.
	Whose legacy is it?
	Because it seems to me that Obama was the one who took it out of the universities and basically mainstreamed it.
	It's Obama who brought it on the mainstream.
	I blame Obama.
	Karen Hill.
	Obama is worried here.
	Obama is worried here because he says that on a podcast that a lot of what he and Michelle represented and try to push forward Trump is undoing.
	Great.
	You're good.
	Brilliant.
	Excellent.
	Let's go.
	Team Mega.
	I don't see how this is against Trump because it seems to me that Obama is the person who basically popularized all these victimhood narratives that are insanely divisive and try to make all kinds of lunatics saying that they're justified in to using violence because they're just happy because they're just faced with existential threats and they have to do it because they're in self-defense.
	That's not a legacy to be proud of to right now.
	We're going to go to the next Democrat, Mrs. Freeze.
	What is this?
	Sorry, I don't.
	Who is it?
	Mrs. Freeze, you don't know?
	No.
	What's this?
	It's the Democrat candidate for Virginia governor.
	What is this?
	She's Abigail Spanberger.
	She's.
	What's she got on her head?
	She's Mrs. Freeze, I said.
	Looks like one of the scientists from 12 Monkeys.
	Ever see 12 monkeys?
	Yeah, what is that?
	What was she?
	All right, everyone.
	Chill.
	Let's look at this here because she had a very bad debate appearance and she was leading the polls, but now I think that's going to change because she refused to condemn someone who was openly either calling for or being completely fine with political violence against a Republican and his two children.
	And there was a debate here, and we have the Republican candidate who was basically telling her that, are you fine with this political violence?
	You have nothing to say.
	And I want us to look at how, I want you to see how she reacted.
	Would it take him pulling the trigger?
	Is that what would do it?
	And then you would say he needs to get out of the race, Abigail?
	You have nothing to say?
	Abigail.
	What if he said it about your two children, your three children?
	Is that when you would say you should get out of the race, Abigail?
	You're running to be governor, Miss Earl Sears.
	I mean, we're talking about murder.
	We're talking about someone's life being taken from them.
	Have you nothing to say about that?
	Are you not going to address it?
	Really, you can't go any further.
	You're a governor.
	You're supposed to stand up for all the people.
	Are you saying political murder is all right?
	Have some political courage.
	What you have done is you are taking political calculations about your future as governor.
	Well, as governor, you have to make hard choices, and that means telling Jay Jones to leave the race.
	Wow.
	That was actually disturbing.
	Yeah.
	It was a little bit disturbing.
	Kept smirking, little stupid delight, little corner of the mouth starting to come up.
	That's real bad.
	Yeah, I'm afraid.
	Disgusting.
	I'm afraid her condition has left a cold to her pleas of mercy.
	Right.
	So, and that was, that was, that was actually.
	I've not seen that before.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	They say here, I see the action of woke them governatorial hopeful asked to condemn child murder text by her prospective AG.
	It's really not hard just to be like, yeah, that's gross.
	Yeah, I'm against political murder.
	It's not that hard.
	No one should get murdered.
	Right.
	The point I made a little earlier about Latise James, this is the face of someone.
	This is someone you can point to, an individual who helped undermine and perhaps ultimately destroy the Republic.
	Someone like her.
	I think basically this shows us that the Dems are basically rising in BS exponentially.
	Their rhetoric is just more BS.
	The more time goes by, the worse it becomes.
	And actually, it frequently tries to conceal the moral corruption that we see in the justification of political violence or the refusal to condemn it.
	Right.
	Let's go to the comments.
	Easy E says actively incriminating yourself as public servant to spite your president is insanity.
	Trump's time in office is short.
	Federal prison time is not.
	Luke Stewart says, good day all.
	Maybe we should take away the European man's gift modern civilization from non-Europeans.
	You don't know how good you got until it's gone.
	Anne Jurissus anger rises.
	Sorry.
	As an American, thanks for the dominance blueprint.
	Easy E, his auntie Trump in California and still couldn't find a girlfriend.
	The left is the party of virgins confirmed.
	Maybe he'll find love in prison.
	That's for yours.
	I thought Katy Perry said that California girls were the best, didn't she?
	I guess it was propaganda.
	We're going to hear them roar.
	Maybe they're hot and cold a bit.
	Right.
	Okay.
	i think they used to say you very bad yeah now they're on the cool one yeah i'm judging All right, so speaking English is racist.
	Why not?
	Yeah, well, apparently, apparently.
	So for those that don't know, as if you didn't know, we have been flooded with foreign imports, people that barely string a sentence together.
	We have entire signs in like Urdu, completely different languages.
	There's MPs that campaign in different languages.
	There are entire enclaves where people can't speak English.
	obviously.
	And we've never really made it a thing that if you come to this country and we give you citizenships at a British passport, like any stringent test to sort of quantify the fact that you're going to be a fantastic member of society.
	And obviously, one of those things you'd think a really integral part of that would be being able to speak the language.
	It's pretty important.
	And in fact, actually, the English language is one of those languages that most of the world wants to learn.
	And yet we don't impose it on people that come to this country.
	Baffling, really.
	Absolutely baffling.
	Really, really, really, really shocking.
	There are thousands, perhaps even millions of people now in this country that don't speak any English or hardly any English.
	Certainly couldn't get by, certainly couldn't read or write.
	So fill out any sort of forms or anything like that.
	Like, how often now do you go into a shop and there's someone and they need to interact with the person behind the counter and they can't because they haven't got any English.
	Yeah.
	They just hold out the money they've got in their hands and let the person take them.
	They don't even know the money.
	They don't know.
	I was in a boots the other day and both the parties were that.
	Both the parties were sub-Saharan Africans.
	Amazing.
	And both trying to speak broken English terribly and couldn't get the interaction to just buy a few toiletries.
	It wasn't working.
	They couldn't do it.
	Because both the employee and the customer was like, what?
	What madness?
	We also get it on the phone.
	There's people that you deal with on the phone.
	They've outsourced most call centers to whether they're here or not.
	It's an English company and they've outsourced the call center to either India or a call center in this country, but it is populated by Indians.
	And you cannot convey anything across with us.
	It's just another level of difficulty.
	I've had this very recently.
	Came back from a flight.
	It was delayed.
	And I started phoning the parking company.
	I had my car.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And someone came there and I couldn't understand what they were saying.
	They responded 40 minutes after my first call.
	And I couldn't understand what he was saying.
	And then there was another voice behind that.
	I started Med Maxing and screaming F you.
	Yeah.
	After a while, sorry, I couldn't do it.
	They have the cheek to get angry with you because they don't understand you.
	It's like, you're in my country.
	This is my country, my language.
	If you can't speak it, that's your fault.
	Anyway, anyway, I digress.
	You can definitely go to certain places in this country, in sort of inner city, certain places in a city London, Birmingham, Moldham, Manchester, Leeds, Blackburn, whatever, and get by, and your first language, your only language is Arabic or something, or Urdu or Hindi or something.
	And you can get by in the black economy.
	You don't need to be able to speak English because that's how big the enclaves are.
	It's tragic.
	It's absolutely tragic.
	But Shabana Mahmoud has decreed that migrants will need an A-level, an A-level standard English to work in the UK.
	This is a new thing that just came out yesterday.
	Pretty soon it was just yesterday.
	Yeah, yesterday.
	And why do you find that so funny?
	I was just thinking about my A-level English.
	Oh, they need to read Philip Larkin, do they?
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, which A-level English?
	Which A-levels?
	Because standards have slipped massively when it comes to education these days.
	But this is a new thing that they brought in, right?
	And I think good.
	This is a good thing to bring in.
	It's essentially for skilled workers.
	Primarily, that's what it's supposed to be aimed at.
	To enhance their linguistic skills.
	Yeah, so you can actually, I don't know, be a skilled worker.
	Because you think being a skilled worker in the UK would mean that you would have to speak English, but.
	You need to be able to read D.H. Lawrence flawlessly, otherwise you can't come in.
	Well, you know.
	It's good that A standard is better.
	No, I'm mucking about.
	You're absolutely right.
	No, it's better than nothing.
	Absolutely better than nothing.
	I'll take it, right?
	At last, finally.
	Something.
	Something where you and they state the most obvious, painfully obvious statement you could ever make.
	If you come to this country, you must learn our language and play your part.
	Right, yeah.
	Be nice, wouldn't it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not much to ask, honestly.
	It's not much to ask.
	English is not one of the hardest languages just to learn.
	Isn't it?
	Isn't it?
	I've heard it was among the more difficult ones, is it not?
	I don't think so.
	Okay.
	It's difficult for the nuance of the English language.
	Vocabulary is very, very big, I understand.
	It is, yeah.
	Yeah, but you don't need that massive vocabulary in order to be able to talk and speak on the phone.
	The nuances of the language that are more difficult, like authors and things like that, like to write in English because it conveys different things.
	You can convey a lot with the language.
	But that's a much deeper element of our sort of linguistic structure, basically.
	So, yeah, I mean, it continues and says, this country has always welcomed those who come to this country and contribute.
	Well, that's terrible English, just as an FYI.
	Someone talking about English and how people need migrants, foreigners need to have good English.
	Oh, that is terrible English.
	You don't repeat the same word, the same descriptive word for something in the same sentence.
	That's quite that's it's just bad English.
	Me being nitpicky, but it's bad English, right?
	This country has always welcomed those who come to this country and contribute.
	But it is unacceptable for migrants to come here without learning our language.
	It's my language, thank you.
	You're a Pakistani.
	Unable to contribute to our national life.
	Yeah, good, fine.
	That's kind of standard, right?
	Oh, people aren't taking it so well, guys.
	What types of people?
	Well, imagine natives haven't got a problem with it.
	Why not?
	Why not?
	Does Owen Jones have a problem with it?
	Oh, I actually haven't checked Owen Jones.
	He's a bit preoccupied with Palestine at the moment, to be fair.
	There's a lot of people preoccupied with Palestine.
	But we get our sort of usual sort.
	So here's, again, just one statement.
	This is from the Home Office.
	If people want to settle in the UK, they must be able to integrate and contribute to society.
	So just repeating the statement.
	And even just a brief look through this.
	We're not going to go through this massively.
	But some of the comments which were right at the top were very worthwhile.
	I mean, oh, lodacities.com there.
	Sorry.
	Alfred, the mid also is known.
	Yeah.
	It's too late.
	They're already here.
	Mass deportations.
	So you'll be deporting all those already here without that standard, right?
	So, yeah.
	So are you going to retroactively enforce that?
	You'd think that you would if that's going to be the new norm.
	But yeah.
	And we'll just continue through this.
	If you come to this country, you must learn our language and play your part.
	It's my language, but all right.
	And again, people just aren't taking it so well.
	They really aren't.
	Again, just getting roasted.
	Absolutely roasted.
	Roasted.
	Destroyed.
	And this is the thing: that they've in doing so, we spoke about this, is that they're completely destroying whatever goodwill they had with the left, Labour, specifically.
	And so this is all just lefties, lefties and foreigners, basically.
	Just ripping them.
	And the right is just ripping them apart as well.
	Because why not?
	It's just easy pickings, isn't it?
	But again, most people are just saying, no, this isn't enough.
	You know, it isn't enough.
	And then we get to, of course.
	It needs to be to undergrad level, not A-level.
	Needs to be undergrad English.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Fair.
	Need to be able to analyse a doll's house in Hamlet.
	Otherwise, you can't come in.
	Anyway, streetcard name desire.
	If you can't read that, understand it and analyse the nuance, then no citizenship for you.
	Get out.
	Blare about.
	And then the usual sorts.
	So the usual sorts have dropped in here.
	Adnan Hussein.
	MP, typical British name.
	Typical British name says migrants are now expected to have better English language skills than the average Brit.
	Well, Adnan.
	You're foreign.
	You don't have a right to be here.
	And by decree, we can set whatever standard we want, actually.
	Thank you.
	Sorry, bro.
	Plus, I actually did an A-level in English language and English lit.
	And your average Brit, I'm sure, could get a C. It's not that difficult.
	It's not that difficult.
	An A-level English language, like maybe to get an A or an A star, yeah, you'd have to work at it, but to just get an A-level in it, get a C in it.
	It's not, yeah, your average, your average Brit, I'm sure, could get a C in an A-level English.
	I think this shows the basically the problem with multiculturalism is because if you're going to a foreign language and you don't speak the language, that means that you can't form connections with people there.
	But diversity, you are in a ghetto, diversity is a strength.
	You are in a ghetto, and not only this, but race strength.
	It looks like people are entering the country, and the country the state is telling them you should hate the culture.
	Yeah, yeah, because multiculturalism is the exact opposite of assimilationism.
	It says don't assimilate, keep your culture, keep your ghetto, just trash on the natives and westerners.
	And what I wanted to say before and add to it is that it isn't much to ask from people to learn the language of the country they're going to live in.
	No, and also, I will say this: that it's you really need to be a piece of work if you can't sort of coexist within this country.
	Why would you want to be here and not be able to speak to anyone?
	How is that good for you?
	Yeah, that's awful.
	But also, it's not like a culture that says you that gives you 10 obligations per week and says you have to do ABC D E F G etc.
	Otherwise, wrong.
	It's just can you stop raping and killing people?
	Yeah, and speak English.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's mad.
	It's mad.
	I mean, if I ever emigrated to another country, a non-English speaking country, of course, it would be among my highest priorities in my life to be to get to a conversable level in that language as quickly as possible.
	Obviously, sure.
	You wouldn't, well, yeah, I would never emigrate to a non-English-speaking country.
	But if I did, yeah, of course.
	If I decided to move to Italy, yeah, learning Italian to a passable level would absolutely be you would like to read Livy and Tacitus on the original in the original, yeah, but it is comical.
	So, this is Adnan Hussein, obviously.
	Um, and I just thought I'd chime in there.
	That's that quite based chapter on uh Twitter mistakes reviews says, You shouldn't even be here.
	This is tame.
	This is the thing, everyone up in arms about this.
	This is this is ultra-tame.
	This is the most tamest of tame things, and you're throwing a toy pran.
	You should be like, Yeah, okay, yeah, like what a bad hill to die on.
	Yeah, you've now got to explain to me why it's okay to have people here that can barely speak the language.
	Like, that's what a terrible argument to make for yourself.
	Well, none, it really is.
	Some people come here and they've got no English, none like again, they're trying to pay for something in a shop and they don't understand like someone says 50p or 10p or £1, or they don't understand any numbers.
	Some of these people don't understand any English, and yeah, you're quite right to point out that, like, um, it's like the most tamest thing ever.
	Um, it's in absolutely everyone's interest, not that I really care about their interests, but it's in absolutely every party's interest that they can speak English properly.
	Yeah, so what argument has someone like Adnan got?
	What really is their argument?
	Well, again, it's just it's racist, I guess.
	That's the argument, yeah.
	That's how pathetic it is.
	And you know, this is the rod that they're making for their own back.
	It's like you didn't have to stand in opposition to this, yeah.
	Pretty tame request.
	Hey, guys, you should probably speak some English.
	No, what?
	Yeah, that's a bad, bad fight to pick.
	It's a really bad one because the implication is we want to destroy your language, yeah.
	We want to replace your language with our languages, yeah, we don't care about your language, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Your language can take a long walk off a shop here for a weekend.
	That's what he's saying, yeah, and the culture, well, yeah, and everything, yeah, and the whole country and a race ultimately, yeah.
	Yeah, I had a very weird experience the other day because I was on in Waterstones and I was looking at the history section, and there was a book about another country in the Middle East somewhere, and it was written by an English uh author, and they're saying you know, a perspective on the Middle East.
	And there were people from there saying, Why would I care reading about an Englishman's perspective on the Middle East?
	So, no, says it, get the usual sort.
	So, this actually precedes the statement.
	So Rupert Lowe was like, you know, if a foreign national living in England is unable to speak English, they should not be able to continue living in England.
	Yeah, fine.
	That's a perfectly reasonable statement to make.
	And then Bushwhacker said, seriously, F off, the English integrate the least anywhere they go.
	Well, that's interesting because you call yourself.
	You claim to be part of this country, but your statement is predicated on the fact that there are English which are separate from you, and those people don't integrate.
	So that's an interesting point of context, just to say, like, I spit in your arguments phase there.
	But then also, yeah, that's fine.
	If people don't integrate and you want them to leave that country, yeah, fine.
	No one's saying they must be there.
	No one's saying the Spanish must have English enclaves there.
	No, if the Spanish don't want us there, that's absolutely fine.
	Well within their right.
	Well within their right.
	If I was a Lord Protector of this country and did like a mass deportation thing and other countries as a tit for tat thing said, well, you're the English enclave in our cities.
	We're sending them all back.
	I'd be like, fine, brilliant.
	Yeah, we'll have them back.
	Yeah, fine then.
	That's okay.
	We'll take their money as well, though.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Plus, also, just to point out to Bushra, that there is a long, long tradition, particularly in the imperial years, of Brits going native wherever they went around the world and absolutely assimilating as much as they possibly could with foreign cultures and religions.
	None of this would be possible without that.
	Forget about it.
	A regrettably strong out-group preference.
	None of this conversation would be had.
	Yeah, true.
	Yeah, the entire, yeah, the entire argument that they have, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then, of course, of course, this is like the greatest hits of leftist Twitter.
	Narinda.
	Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
	So tell me, sister, what?
	What?
	Did your mother learn English to even GCSE level, let alone A-level when she arrived in this country?
	Don't worry, Narinda, mate.
	Don't worry.
	We must keep doing the same thing for the eternity because it's been done before.
	We can't change anything.
	We're not allowed to change things.
	The status quo must remain.
	Idiot.
	Well, the thing about Narinda is that she's Sikh, isn't she?
	Oh, I don't know.
	So she's actually got a beef with Muslims.
	Oh, right.
	She should be thanking us anyway.
	What could?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We ended.
	What was it?
	Sati?
	Indians burning their wives alive.
	Oh, right.
	Yeah.
	You're welcome.
	You're welcome, Narinda.
	You're welcome.
	You're welcome for that.
	Chances are, I'm not going to get into it.
	But yeah, you're welcome.
	Compare and contrast the themes of Love and Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 and John Don's The Good Morrow highlighting the differences in their portrayal of love's endurance.
	Shut up, love.
	Honestly, just shut up.
	Oh, there's more as well.
	For a second, I thought reform had come into power.
	I like Narinda's tweets are a gold mine of leftist meltdown.
	This policy is that disgraceful.
	Why is it disgraceful?
	You can't articulate yourself.
	And the articulation that she gives, the argument that she gives, is expecting migrants to have A-level English whilst the domestic population have barely passed English GCSE is pure discrimination.
	Well, yeah, IQs have been on the decline, but if you flood the country with random third worlders, the IQ will eventually decline.
	That's just a fact.
	But also, this isn't the argument that you think it is because that just means that, yeah, okay, well, yeah, we should.
	Our education system needs a bit of reform.
	Okay, that's fine.
	So you're saying that people in power are failing English kids as well then?
	Like, it's not an argument.
	This is not an argument.
	It's pure discrimination.
	Yeah, sure.
	Okay.
	That's fine.
	Are we not allowed?
	We're not.
	So you must be able to speak a foreign language in this country?
	Like what?
	One, if you're a native to these islands, you don't need to prove anything.
	Two, I suspect the vast majority of everyone in this country could pass, could get a C at GCSE English.
	That's really not hard to do.
	Yeah.
	Like most people pass through secondary school with getting an A to C in English.
	The most people.
	So what are you even talking about?
	What is she talking about?
	These people, these fifth columnists, these cuckoos in the nest, aliens, foreigners.
	Just endless, just endlessly trying to undermine us at every possible angle, at every possible opportunity at all times.
	Like Narinda Kerr.
	It's a disgusting thing to do.
	What do you think you're doing, Narinda?
	What do you think you're doing?
	There's no way anyone can say there's a reasonable ask.
	Haven't you read The Last Pit, Bo?
	It's not reasonable.
	It's racist to speak English in England.
	Speaking English is racist because it discriminates against people that can't speak English in England.
	Jesus Christ.
	That's the argument that they're making.
	Right?
	That's the entire...
	That's their entire argument is that it's racist to speak English in England.
	It's racist.
	Everyone's a racist.
	Discrimination.
	Yeah, being able to speak English is actually exclusive.
	It is like not everyone can do it, so it's an inclusive thing.
	I can't speak Japanese.
	Right, yeah.
	So you're outside of that group.
	I know.
	Man.
	I know.
	I can speak a little bit of Afrikaans, though.
	A little bit.
	Can you?
	Yeah.
	It's interesting.
	Disney Bayamoini.
	How about that?
	Something you hear every day.
	A little bit, a little bit.
	Anyway.
	So yeah, it is exclusive.
	Yeah, well, what do you expect?
	We're in England.
	Would you expect?
	But also, any language is exclusive.
	Yeah.
	Maybe Urdu isn't.
	No, well.
	Well.
	So speaking English is racist in England.
	But wait.
	But wait.
	We thought we had a bit of a win with this.
	Because in all of these things, there's always something hidden.
	And I spotted this today.
	And I thought I would end this segment on a bit of a bad note.
	I do apologise.
	I do apologize.
	But it does say, as we scroll all the way down, all the way down, all the way down.
	The government aims to double the number of highly skilled people coming to the UK.
	So yes, speaking English in England is racist, and they're going to demand you must speak English to an A-level.
	And, you know, we all thought that was really, really good.
	And it is good.
	But it is now still a way for them to double it.
	To double the people coming here.
	Mental.
	Yeah, it's just crazy.
	That's what it always boils down to.
	That's what it nearly always boils down to.
	Whatever scheme they're coming up with, any new policy, it's ultimately to cram more in faster.
	Nearly always.
	Nearly always, that's the case.
	Yeah.
	Sorry about that, guys.
	Right, so we have some comments.
	Mark H. says, Bo, you should interview Raymond Ibrahim on why the Crusades were totally justified.
	Also really enjoying Magellan's series.
	Thank you very much.
	That's why I said you should be.
	Who's it again?
	What's that?
	Raymond Ibrahim.
	Question.
	Raymond.
	Okay.
	Was the Crusades good?
	Sorry.
	It's a fight club.
	It's a fight club reference.
	A drunk changeling.
	I think this means we need the South Asians to do all the jobs the locals are too stupid to do.
	But expecting them to know high school English is too much.
	Schrodinger's skilled worker.
	Right, I think we have two videos to play before we go to the comments.
	You can be sure that if it should have been otherwise, the gods would have made it otherwise.
	Because if that were right, it would also have been possible.
	And if in accordance with nature, nature would have brought it up.
	Don't hope that events will turn out the way you want.
	Welcome events in whichever way they happen.
	This is the path to peace.
	From the start of nature.
	Samson has.
	Apple Jesus cracking up.
	Having a heart attack.
	Laughter, yeah.
	So let for you.
	Yeah, right.
	Thank you very much.
	What is that?
	Yeah.
	He's actually breaking down with laughter.
	Right.
	Okay, let's go to the next one.
	By Zasta King.
	Hey, Lord, Ceters.
	I'm on a university campus and I'm going to see whatever the woke stuff I can find.
	Net zero, eh?
	You can't get away from it.
	Wow.
	Wow!
	Look at that yeah.
	I mean, I know it's almost like a cliche.
	Thanks for that, Celestia King.
	It's almost a cliche that...
	Oh, it's still going, is it?
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	Spicy goathead.
	at university there's like there's hard lefties there that goes back to whatever It goes back to the fucking 1920s or 30s.
	Now it just feels like it's like uh like a LARPing thing.
	It's now like a fourth or fifth generation thing almost like it's like a silly little laughing like a revolution festival with a photoshopped picture of Marx or something.
	It's like these are these are like super lame uh what's what's the newest generation they call it beyond gen alpha?
	Is that the newest one?
	No, no, most people, but they're like it's barely even LARPing at it.
	Samsung, do you require an ambulance?
	Samsung still hasn't recovered from the FARP.
	That was incredibly funny though.
	Okay.
	Good.
	Right, so let's go to the comments.
	Binary Surfer says, I would bet money this kid regarding the fire turns out to be an T4 affiliated.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	We just don't know yet, but I absolutely wouldn't be surprised.
	Kevin Fox says, since the 2023 Maui fires, only 290 out of 2,000 properties have been rebuilt.
	Americans are slower at building homes than labor.
	They're not building back better.
	They're not building back at all, looks like.
	They're buying back.
	That's what they're trying to do.
	Buy back plots.
	Gloria Inquisitor, Hector Rex.
	California is so up its own ass with permitting and zoning laws that it takes years for something as installing a toilet.
	They're so bureaucratically bogged down that billions are wasted and nothing ever gets done remotely in time.
	Yeah.
	Very much like this country.
	Yeah.
	I'm all for protecting the land, like absolutely.
	But there's so much bureaucracy and red tape.
	That's beautiful media.
	You can't do stuff.
	Yeah.
	George Hap says, since they're blaming climate change, LA is obviously not doing enough to confront that.
	I suggest that they stop using electricity altogether, go North Korean style.
	They almost had to.
	They were having blackouts, remember?
	Henry Ashman said, sorry, Bo, you wanted to say something?
	Just real quick, I was going to say, maybe this is an odd thing, an odd history nerd thing to think about.
	But it quite often passes my mind.
	What the world was like before power.
	Now it's not that long ago.
	It's not all that long ago.
	If you go back to sort of the mid-19th century, that's the world before power.
	Very, very, very, very different to the world we live in.
	And it may be, if there is some sort of systems collapse, some sort of giant financial crisis, or ever been even a world war or anything like that, we may well be plunged back into a sort of a pre-modern world where there's no power.
	So think about, get your ducks in a row.
	Think about what life is like with no power.
	Your ducks.
	When the sun goes down, it's dark.
	And cold.
	And cold.
	You haven't even got a fridge, let alone a cooker.
	Get a wood burner.
	Let alone a phone or a TV.
	A world without power, I think we moderns can almost barely really comprehend.
	But that may be in our future.
	They want to send us back to the cooler.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Henry Ashman says, I remember the Australian wildfires back in 2020.
	They were a little unusual and so large because it was areas that don't normally catch light, but also that some Greens initiatives made it illegal to do some fire prevention actions.
	Clearing brush and cutting down trees to make fires break wasn't allowed.
	Yeah, that's nonsense.
	Grant Gibson says, I'm not sure the snow issue in the UK is a fall.
	I live in Canada and the amount of snow clearing equipment and the cost is exorbitant.
	We have snow for five months, so it's worth having it.
	But for a few days, massive capital and upkeep cost.
	Better just to ride it out, even with our massive.
	That's the point.
	We don't ride out.
	We literally don't ride.
	The trains stop.
	I remember I went to Calgary and there was a massive block of ice and it was end of May and they told me it's basically melting since January or something.
	Right.
	Kevin Fox says, so she was misleading about a property deal to get a favorable loan from a bank and chasing her is wrong.
	Wasn't she prosecuting Trump for misleading a bank to get a loan he later paid back with interest?
	Arizona Desert Rat says, see, the last time the federal government shut down, the Republican governor of Arizona kept federal parks open by doing in the state budget to pay their salaries.
	That greatly decreased the impact of the government shutdown in Arizona.
	That's good.
	Interesting.
	And wait, Sam Wesson, Stelios, are you aware of the video with Katie Porter dressed up as a bat girl while she's in Congress?
	Some guy ended up trolling her, and that may give you a good laugh.
	Yes, I know of it.
	It's just that there were so many links to include, and we had a conversation that I didn't include every one of them.
	Right, Major.
	I won't be googling that.
	Yeah.
	Do you want me to read the comments about your segment?
	Yeah, sure.
	Or right, okay.
	Sophie Liv.
	She's a bit naughty with her comments.
	I'll be extra cautious.
	If you lived in England for more than a year and can't speak English, deport.
	If you're a citizen and don't speak English, strip of citizenship and deport.
	That's right.
	There was no sexual innuendo this time in her comment.
	Zesta King says early.
	She's a good girl.
	I like her flat.
	She's excellent.
	It's just there was this one time where we had this hangout and I misread a comment of hers.
	It was just hilarious.
	Very embarrassing.
	Right, Zesta King says, earlier this year I went to Leicester and I saw in the city center a council building with a sign in six different languages.
	If you don't understand English, you have no place in England.
	Yeah.
	Michael Dreibelbis says English is actually ranked on par with Mandarin Chinese in terms of learning it to fluency.
	That's the nuancy that I was talking about.
	How different words mean different things and how you can be literal but figurative and yeah.
	There's definitely a difference between being able to get by and being fluent or even being able to just rift.
	You know, like I know for a fact that English is a lot more expressive than Italian, Russian, and quite a few languages, even French.
	You can do more in English.
	Yeah.
	You just can do more.
	It's a more sophisticated language.
	It reminds me of pop fiction.
	We know English, mofo, do you speak it?
	Just not hard to ask.
	Justin B says she'll require migrants to have an A-level skill in English, but the requirements won't cover asylum seekers.
	This will just stop some people who might be productive and do nothing against the primary issue.
	Again, design to just a bit of red meat.
	We're doing something immigration filibustering.
	Right.
	And Baron von Warhock says, remember, lads, your education and immigration system is infested with migrants and leftists, meaning that nine out of ten times they're going to just give each immigrant that takes the test an A plus no matter what.
	There'll be loads of ways to just let people bypass Google Translate and fake it and get right.
	So Samson, could you load the first segment, please?
	Yeah.
	Okay, so we have finished our podcast for today.
	Thank you very much, Nate.
	Thank you, Bo.
	Thank you.
	And definitely subscribe to the state of politics.
	State of politics.
	Super based.
	Listen to Bo and Nate chatting about things with their characteristic style.
	And also buy our course about ancient Greek virtue ethics.
	Let's raise the standards.
	Let's recapture classical education as opposed to just have our standards plummeting and us being in the level of whether we're contemplating whether people in England should be able to speak English.
	And also join Bo and myself for tomorrow's webinar at 6 p.m., October 16th of 2025.
	We're going to talk about what the course involves, who is it for, why it's helpful for most people.
	And, well, you have to speak English, to be fair, to understand it.
	Subscribe, it's a free webinar and we will ask course-related questions.
	So do join and see you tomorrow.
	Tomorrow, the podcast will start at 1 p.m. and the webinar at 6.
