1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to another episode of the Buck Sexton

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Show with me now, the indefatigable, the formidable, the one

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: and only Raheem Kassam. He is the editor in chief

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: of the National Pulse and the host of Raheim Kassam Podcast,

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: a man whose knowledge and talents spans from global affairs

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: all the way down to the proper way to tie

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: a windsor not. Mister Raheem Kassam, good to have you on, sir.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: What an introduction, and not least because you know from

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: a from a very arcane perspective, indefatigable is how the

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: British parliamentarian George Galloway of the far left once described

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein. So I'm delighted. I think the word existed

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: and was used in many other contexts for a long time.

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Isn't it like an hms indefatigable or maybe it's a

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: long once or maybe that's a bit probably too long

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: to it to paint on the side of of a

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: boat of a battleship. But Raheem, you know, we've been

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: doing these conversations and the audience response has been great

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: because we're just getting really interesting people on to talk

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: about whatever is top of mind. So one way I like,

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: I like to start is just to get you to

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: tell me, right now, what in the world of politics.

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: We're going to cover a whole range of things here.

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: One of the world of politics gets you the most

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: fired up, Like what are you focused on? Yet? I

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: don't know about focus. Um, that's a word that escapes me.

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a scatter brain in politics. Um, it's

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: like books as well. I'm reading fifty at a time

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: and I never finished any of them. But something that

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: has occurred to me, you know, there are several things

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: that have occurred to me a lot recently, especially in

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, with the Biden classified documents thing going on

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: in the background is the is the like I still

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: can't put my finger on who got Biden elected? Right,

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: and that and that bothers me as a as a

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: as a point, like when you look at Trump, people

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: say Bannon. You look at Obama, people say Jim Messner

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: and David Plath and David Axel, Rod Bush col Rove.

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: But there isn't one in Biden world. And I that

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: bothers me because of you know, so many different things,

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: so many different big question marks that were over the

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election in general. But for there not to

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: be somebody out there doing ted talks and being on

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: the front cover of Time magazine being called the you know,

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: the man who got the most votes for a presidential

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: candidate in American history, is a pretty big thing that

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: you want to claim and and you know, a big,

47
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: big medallion that you want to wear around your neck,

48
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: but nobody seems to want to claim it, and that

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: bothers me. Yeah, well, there's certainly something going on right

50
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: now with his chief of staff is on the way

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: out there. There have just been news reports about that

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: that you're not going to have Ryan Clain anymore because

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: people have been It's really I think it an addenda

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: in many ways to your to your point here, which

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: is not only who's who's responsible for getting him elected,

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: but who is the person who's really calling the shots,

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: who's really running things, you know, behind the scenes. A

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: lot of people have said ron Klain the White House

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: chief of Staff now White House chief of staff, depending

60
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: on who it is. I think can matter a lot

61
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: or a little for an administration. Does any even really

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: remember the Trump White House chiefs of staff? I don't

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: think that you know, no one said, oh my gosh,

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: the days of Ryan's previous and uh and the you

65
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: know the guy with the Irish name who was you

66
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: know omb yeah, omb budget guy before that. Um, But

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: so you have Clain on the way out and this

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: guy's zigns I'm not sure how to say his name

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: even who was the COVID czar that we never heard about?

70
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Really he's going to be taking over, so who actually

71
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: calls the shots for Biden? As he's leaving all the

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: classified all over the place and looking like he's constantly

73
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: confused Barack Obama and Susan Rice. I mean, that's kind

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: of one of the least well kept secrets here in Washington, DC,

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: is that most of most of what this regime is

76
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: currently doing comes from his previous boss that I think

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: you know. And Susan Rice was one of the names

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: that was floated. Now they're saying it's going to be

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Jeff Zience. Jeff Ziens, by the way, an important character

80
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: to note, not just because of his World Economic Forum

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: billionaire credentials, but also because of, as you say this,

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: this covidsar who was a COVID zar but really quietly

83
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: and you have to understand this point in time. In

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, the United States is still one of

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: the only countries in the world that doesn't allow non

86
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: citizens in if they're not vaccinated. So Zience is still

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: doing the bidding of Big Covid behind the scenes, very quietly.

88
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: And the fact that he's being elevated now to this

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: this prestige position in America in politics, it's honestly, it's

90
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: like a It's like a pas on the back and

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: a thank you for continuing to do that on behalf

92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: of you know, big farmer, big government, whatever you want to,

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you want to, you know, daub thepara

94
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: any human time, interrrational, reasonable world, where heim shouldn't the

95
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: guy who was the covids are who said that a

96
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: winter of death was coming for anybody who didn't get vaccinated.

97
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: That's a quote that you were going to overrun the

98
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: hospitals if you didn't get vaccinated. These were things that

99
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: he was saying in twenty twenty one, going into the

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: winter period. You would think that he should not only

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: be fired, but honestly shamed and and and removed ignominiously

102
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: from the public square. And yet he's now White House

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: chef of staff. It's a promotion which I think says

104
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: a lot about how the Democrat apparatus views COVID, even

105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: at this stage. Yeah, but I'll go you one further.

106
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, again, as I say, this is

107
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: a this is a slap on the back for and

108
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: well done, old boy um for doing that. But is

109
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: it's worse than that? Right in any rational world? You

110
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: said in any rational world, Well, in any rational world,

111
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: the the person who put together the original COVID task

112
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: force should be susceptible to class action lawsuits from all

113
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: the people who lost their businesses, all the people who

114
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: lost their loved ones as a result of all of that.

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: And that person was Mike Pence. So you know, there's

116
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: blame to go around on all sides on this, especially

117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: for those who got the ball rolling at that, you know,

118
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: the opening days of COVID. Let me ask and Jeff Zience.

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: Just just to conclude on the Jeff Zions point, you know,

120
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 1: this for him is very much an opportunity to take

121
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: that kind of totalitarian mindset and run the Oval Office

122
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, No, absolutely, I mean it's it's like

123
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: they got there their trial run of communism. Now they're saying, Oh,

124
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: you're ready for the big leagues of being a Kami

125
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: at the highest level. Yeah, Raheem. You mentioned the Trump

126
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: or rather Pence, the Trump administration and COVID. I really

127
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: want to dive into your feelings about where Trump is

128
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: right now and that whole conversation. You have very interesting

129
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: views on this and I want to get into that

130
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: in a second. But first, my friends, if you've ever

Speaker 1: as you know, comfortable feet, comfortable clothing where he might

135
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: not always approve because you know, sometimes you have to

136
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,720

155
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: on the Trump issue, do you think that Trump is

156
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: running into a real problem here with his base, with

157
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: his people, his voters, with the continued discussion of how

158
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: great Operation Warp Speed is. I mean, I heard him

159
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: recently say that the vaccine saved hundreds of millions of lives.

160
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: I have been a huge Trump supporter. I like the

161
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: guy very much personally. I think he did phenomenal things

162
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: for our country as resident. The vaccine did not save

163
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of lives. So how do we deal

164
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: with this? What's going on? Yeah? So typically there has

165
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: been one critical area where you know, even Trump, even

166
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: the most ardent Trump supporters, will say, Okay, he has

167
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: a he has a blind spot on that. But given

168
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: that it's you know, his only massive blind spot, we're

169
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: willing to to not overlook it, but at least at

170
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: least forgive elements of it. And that was personnel, right,

171
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: The personnel choices that both the Trump administration made and

172
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: the Trumpet operation as it has been since after its presidency,

173
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: remain curious to a lot of people. And again, most

174
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: people understand that when they when they choose somebody, when

175
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: they go to bat for somebody, when they put their

176
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: eggs in the basket of a presidential candidate, that they're

177
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: not looking for perfection. That they're willing to say. You know,

178
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: no man is perfect, no woman is perfect. No candidate

179
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: will therefore be perfect. But in doing what he's been

180
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: doing over the last you know, a couple of years

181
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: now as it regards the big farmer vacciness, he's opening

182
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: up an unnecessary second weak spot as far as his

183
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: base is concerned. And there are major complaints about it now.

184
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: I do think, however, that a lot of people are

185
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: overestimating what that if impact is, and I think especially

186
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people who want other candidates to be

187
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: the president Republican president next time around, are certainly overestimating

188
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: the impact of that. But you're right to say that

189
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's doing Trump any good at all,

190
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: and it is in fact putting off some of his supporters.

191
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: The important part of this actually is what Ron de

192
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Santis himself did. Since I alluded to it, I'll say it,

193
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: which is a course correction, and there's no reason that

194
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump can't make a course correction on this as well.

195
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Early days of of COVID, the governor of Florida was

196
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: doing very similar things to a lot of the other

197
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the governors. But but with you know, the end of

198
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: the thirty days to slow the spread, as a lot

199
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: of the rest of us did. And I hold my

200
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: hand up and say myself included here, we course corrected, right.

201
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: We realized what this thing was being used for. We

202
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: realized that, you know, European countries may want to do this,

203
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: the Chinese may certainly want to do this, but frankly,

204
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: it's not the American way, and you know RDS to

205
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: his credit course corrected. People with any level of I

206
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: might vote Trump next time around, will still forgive him

207
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: if he course corrects on this, and he's going to

208
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: have to. We all know he's going to We all

209
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: know he's going to turn around at some point and say, look,

210
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: I did what I was told was that it was

211
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: in the interest of the public. It was the time

212
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: when my administration came together the best. We delivered the

213
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: things that were expected to be delivered of us, even

214
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: though people said we weren't able to do it. We

215
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,479
Speaker 1: then saw collusion even between the health industry and pharmaceutical

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: lobby to delay the rollout of the vaccine itself. And

217
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: yet I still get no credit. Well, you know that's

218
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: all well and good, but he's going to come out,

219
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to come out, and I

220
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: think he will come out at some point and say,

221
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, well I was tricked just like the rest

222
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: of you. Where do you come down at this point

223
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: on the looming showdown that you know, everyone is expecting

224
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Trump and De Santis in a primary. Now, I know

225
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: Trump has announced De Santis has not. Who knows, I'm

226
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: a big proponent of saying nobody can predict the future,

227
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: and all you can do is look back at people's predictions,

228
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: and you know that nobody can predict the future. They

229
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: can get it right. They can get binaries meaning a

230
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: yes or no or you know, A or B right

231
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: about fifty percent of the time, which makes sense, right,

232
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: people will get it as often as they don't when

233
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to predict events. For the most part. That

234
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: all said, with all that throat clearing in place, are

235
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: you already determined that it's one or the other in

236
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: terms of what you think is best for the Republican

237
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: Party or are you in wait and see mode? Yeah,

238
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: I feel like the zen Master. It's that moment from

239
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: Charlie Wilson's wool, you know, the zen moster says, we'll see,

240
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: we'll see. But but you know that the foundation is

241
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: clearly obviously there for Rhonda Santists. It's there amongst the

242
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: people around him, it's there amongst the donor class that

243
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: have clearly said that they're on his side. It's there

244
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: in terms of a level of the grassroots support now

245
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: who say they want him to run. It's it's it's

246
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: visible to me that everything that you would want in

247
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: place for a presidential run, Rhonda Santist has seems to

248
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: have in place. Whether or not that's of his doing

249
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: is another concern there are. I'm currently reading a book

250
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: by Rhonda Santists. Not many people have read it or

251
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: even know that he wrote a book, but he did.

252
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: This was before he was a public figure at all, really,

253
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: and it was during the Obama administration. And he goes

254
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: into quite a lot of detail about constitutional law, the founders,

255
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: the Federalist papers, and it's it's so clear that he's

256
00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: a genuinely like brilliant constitutional mind that the the writing

257
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: is excellent for somebody who hadn't written a book before.

258
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: The framing is excellent. The points he makes throughout the

259
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: book a point and not talking points, you know. And

260
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: I remember once interviewing him back and I think it

261
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: was twenty fifteen or sixteen, and saying to him at

262
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: the time, look, I hope you don't mind me saying,

263
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: but I think you've got it, you know, the look,

264
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: the family, the experience, the awards and the military, so

265
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: on and so forth. The problem I have here is

266
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: almost like Trump as well, is the people around him.

267
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Ronda Santis has a team around

268
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: him that a lot of people will find palatable. He

269
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't have a lot of donuts, big donors that

270
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people will find palatable. And so when

271
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: I said in the last conversation that we were having

272
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: on the last topic about what can be forgiven and

273
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: what can't be I think a lot of Republicans will

274
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: air on the side if it's between Trump and DeSantis

275
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: with better the devil you know than the de the

276
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: devil you don't. And they will also be asking a

277
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: lot of questions about, well, you know, who is advising

278
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: him on foreign policy? He's been He's saber rattled a

279
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: lot on the Middle East and Iran and Israel and

280
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: all of these things. Is he going to be another Bush?

281
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: He will have as many questions to answer on those

282
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: debate stages as Donald Trump will, and I think people

283
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: should rejoice about that. I think the Republican base deserves

284
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: a full and rough and hard and difficult primary because

285
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: for two reasons, not just because it allows for those

286
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: arguments to be had and those what might seem to

287
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: be sort of niche issues to come out, but also

288
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: it trains that person up whoever you know becomes the nominee.

289
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: It trains them up for the bigger occasions, the presidential debates,

290
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: the campaign itself. And I think if Trump lacked anything

291
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: last time in his campaign, it was that he didn't

292
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: go through a primary, right, he didn't get to warm

293
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: up before the big fight. Yeah, and if you're a boxer,

294
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: if you're any sport, really you don't want to go

295
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: out there for the championship and not have actually done

296
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: your thing for weeks or even even months beforehand. So

297
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: I can see. I think you're right by the way

298
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: that it's almost a stone upon which the blade can

299
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: be sharpened for any politician. But on our side, we're

300
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: certainly going to need that given the media reality that

301
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: we're up against. I want to ask you about the

302
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: royal family Rahem, which I will do in just a

303
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: second in case anyone couldn't figure it out from his accent,

304
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: which I know many of us are jealous off because

305
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: it is super fancy and adds a level of gravitass

306
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: to everything that he says. Raheem is from the United Kingdom,

307
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and I have some questions about this. There's this book

308
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: out there's an obsession in the media with the author

309
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: of this book, and what is this whole thing with monarchy.

310
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it in a second. But

311
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, there are data breaches that are happening all

312
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: the time, and the big ones can be huge, like

313
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: two million email addresses that got out there from a

314
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: Twitter hack. It ends up on the dark web, and

315
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: then your personal information can be used by cyber thieves.

316
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: See the cyber hackers get it, and the cyber thieves

317
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: buy it, take it, find it on the dark web,

318
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: pay for it and bitcoin whatever they do, and then

319
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: they take out loans or credit cards in your name.

320
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: This happens all the time, and unless you have somebody

321
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: watching your back, you may not find out about it

322
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: until it's too late. That's why you need the LifeLock

323
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: identity theft protection because as often as your personal info

324
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: gets exposed, LifeLock has a twenty four seven watch on

325
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: online transactions and new account openings. LifeLock to texts and

326
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: alerts you to potential identity threats you may not spot

327
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: on your own, like loans take it out in your

328
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: name if you do become a victim of identity theft.

329
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: A dedicated US based LifeLock restoration specialist will work to

330
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: fix it. No one can prevent all identity theft or

331
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: monitor all transactions at all businesses, but it's easy to

332
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: help protect yourself with LifeLock. I've relied on them for

333
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: years and I've actually had to work with the restoration specialist.

341
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: You could be a big fan of the monarchy. You

342
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: could be like I just think to myself, I don't

343
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: understand how anyone can see this as as anything other

344
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: than I don't know, I viewed as as entirely ridiculous.

345
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: Why why do people care so much, both in the

346
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: UK and here at home about say the spare Prince

347
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: Harry biography and the Meghan Markel back and forth, all

348
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. I look at this and I'm like, these

349
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: are these are celebrities basically like this, I might as

350
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: well be watching, you know, the latest on the Kardashians,

351
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: you know who they're dating or something. I just don't care.

352
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Am I missing something? Please explain to me, because you

353
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: actually come from Great Britain. Go ahead, well I do,

354
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: and I actually come from a historic county called Middlesex.

355
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: And I just saw that your your American Giant hoodies

356
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: are made in Middlesex, North Carolina, so we have a

357
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: we have a link there. I am a monarchist, and

358
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm a proud one. I believe in the institution of monarchy.

359
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: I believe in having a part of your government being

360
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: there for the long haul, and therefore having the nation's

361
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: interests at heart, rather than re election or fundraising or

362
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: anything like that at heart. I don't believe in a

363
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: in a tyrannical or dictatorship. I don't believe in a

364
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: in a vast amounts of executive authority being vested in

365
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: the crown. But there is a difference. There is a

366
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: difference between the crown right, the monarchy is an institution,

367
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: and the royal family. The royal family, like you say,

368
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: can become very much like watching reality television and the

369
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: tabloid papers love to make it that right. Megan Markel

370
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: is really the reason that we're having this conversation here,

371
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: and I'll remind you where she comes from, and it

372
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: is not the United Kingdom, so so so thank you

373
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: for that. And of course the last big blow up

374
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: that we had really, I mean, you know, if you

375
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: exclude Diana from it in and of herself, was you know,

376
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: Wallace Simpson another American who got embroiled in the royal

377
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: family and caused the king to abdicate. This is amazing

378
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: blaming America for the British royal families mess ups. Look,

379
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: I will take responsibility for Christopher Steele if you take

380
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: responsibility for Megan Markle. That's all I'm saying, right, unbelievable, unbelievable.

381
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: But so you think that there is a role for it, Oh, massive,

382
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: I mean massive, I mean this is this is actually

383
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: you asked me what you know what really sort of

384
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: is bugging me politically at the moment and maybe even

385
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: keeping me up at night a little bit. It is

386
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: the incoming constitutional vandalism that we were about to see

387
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: because the Labor Party, which is which is our left

388
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: wing party in the United Kingdom looks like it's going

389
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: to take the reins of government next time around after

390
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: there is an election, and they have promised to abolish

391
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: the House of Laws that is our upper chamber. They

392
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: will replace it with an elected Senate. And my position

393
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: on this is that what is the point of bicamerality, right,

394
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: two chambers in your Congress, parliament, whatever, if they're both

395
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: chosen in the same way. I think you guys had

396
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: a constitutional amendment that reflected from number seventeen or something

397
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: like that that changed the nature of what your set,

398
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: how your Senate was chosen, and it basically ruined the Senate.

399
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: The Senate was never supposed to be just another democratic

400
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: body full of politicians, and they're going to do that

401
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: to our House of Lords. So here's the thing. So

402
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: we're going to have two democratic chambers in our parliament.

403
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: The executive branch in the United Kingdom is also chosen

404
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: from the Parliament, and then you're basically saying there shouldn't

405
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: be a monarchy either. So at that point you've got

406
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: a tyranny of the majority system. It doesn't work. There

407
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: has to be something more than just politicians who push

408
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: that stuff around, and it's really interesting to me because

409
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: Kars Starmer, Circus Starmer, who is the leader of the

410
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: Labor Party right now, who will become the prime minister

411
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: if the polls remain the same, went to Davos, went

412
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: to the World Economic Forum and he was asked by

413
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: a reporter, Emily Maitliss, if you had to choose between

414
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Westminster and Davos, which would it be, And he said Davos. Well,

415
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: it's interesting, isn't it that he is the one that's

416
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: charging head first with constitutional vandalism and at the same

417
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: time he thinks the unelected other way to get things done.

418
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't hold. The argument doesn't hold. And

419
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: so I think you do need somebody who has the

420
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: long term interest in the nation at heart. So even

421
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: if they don't have real power, right like, it's a

422
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: symbolism that's supposed to be. I don't even know what

423
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: authority is still vested in the monarch, well, the very

424
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: It's interesting because in my book Enoch was right, I

425
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: talk about this right in nineteen forty eight, when the

426
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Canadians effectively created their own form of nationality and said

427
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: we're not subjects anymore, we have Canadian citizenship. It changed

428
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: everything for the entire British Empire, and so we went

429
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: from subjects to citizens within the same period of time.

430
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: But but what are you citizens? Off is the question?

431
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: Because of course we have England, we have Wales, we

432
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: have Northern Ireland, we have Scotland. Several of those make

433
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: up Great Britain. Several more of those together make up

434
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom. You know, we have this kind of

435
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: grand union of different countries and entities that voluntarily come together,

436
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: much like your states. Right, and they say, okay, we

437
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: are going to vest our power in the nation, but

438
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: what is the nation? Well, the nation has to be

439
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: more than the sum of its politicians, right, it can't

440
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: just be some some texts that are scribble down. Because

441
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, you have a constitution. Remember we don't have

442
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: a written constitution. We have an evolving constitution, right. Our

443
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: primary law is our constitution. It's it's it gets very complicated,

444
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: but it's not dull. I assure you that I know

445
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people get sort of think, oh, you know,

446
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: what do I know about constitutional you know, import and

447
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: all of this stuff as it relates to politics. It's everything.

448
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: If you don't understand the way your country works, then

449
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: you can't really complain about how it works. And at

450
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: the end of all of the all of the questions

451
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: that are raised about what makes Britain Britain is the crown,

452
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: because the crown is the connection between the nation and God.

453
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: That's why, as you'll see when Charles is crowned formally

454
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: that they will touch his head with anointing oil, and

455
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: that is the head of the Church of mind. Isn't

456
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: the crown? That the head of the Church of England

457
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: technically that's that's how that is what signifies, which I

458
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: think not the man that really has the power, think

459
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Odds that has the power. I think Hitchens, Hitchens, who

460
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: is just a poor man's Raheem Kassam. Christopher Hitchins used

461
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: to say that, yes, the Church of England built on

462
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: the family values of Henry the Eighth, which I think

463
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny, but anyway, it was a Hitchens line. Um.

464
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: But yes, back to back to the crown. Probably by

465
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not sure that Christopher Hitchens can can

466
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: can wax moral um about anybody else's exploits. Well, he's

467
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: certainly not here anymore to defend himself, so there's that.

468
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: But but tell me this. Um uh, well, I was

469
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: actually gonna ask you something kind of silly for a second,

470
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: just to take us in a different direction. Do you

471
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: do you watch The Crown like every because I tried

472
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: to fight it as long as I can, But you know,

473
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: you have a girlfriend, I have a fiance. The ladies

474
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: love that show man. I don't know. I couldn't fight

475
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: it off anymore. I was like, all right, fine, honey,

476
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: we'll watch The Crown. And it's pretty engrossing for what

477
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah. Actually my girlfriend doesn't like the Crown,

478
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: and I think because she's just like a very red

479
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: blooded American patriot and finds it all very stuffy and boring.

480
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: And and he did fight a war, elevant aren't that

481
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: long ago, so we would pretty much never have to

482
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: pay any attention to that royal family ever. Again here

483
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: that that is the thing. So for Americans, this is

484
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: why I ask you, as a brit why do you

485
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: care as an Americans? I do not want to hear

486
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: it from people. It's bizarre the fixation they have with

487
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: the the British royal family. It makes no sense to

488
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: me at all. But for British people, I understand. Um,

489
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: so that's that's one air. So we've we've well, look,

490
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean The Crown is a good show. It's not

491
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: particularly true to real life, but it's it's it's it's

492
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: very entertaining. The interest in it, however, speaks to something broader,

493
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: I think, And I know you're not going to like

494
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: what I'm about to say, but I do think Americans

495
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of miss something. They miss this this institution almost.

496
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they want to be ruled from London, right,

497
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: You maybe want your own monarchy, um, but people want

498
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: something that's aspirational. And in a country where we have

499
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: the Founding Fathers being torn down all the time, and

500
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: there's there, I think there is something that, look, we

501
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: all love, like I'm there were. Of course, there's British

502
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Republicans who want the an end to the monarchy and

503
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: so on and so forth and that and that is

504
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: only unfortunately going to grow and grow with with Charles

505
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: at the helm Um. But everyone basically loved her Majesty

506
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: the Queen. They understood that her life was yes, she

507
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: gets to live in nice, big palaces, but they understood

508
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: that her life was really service. And I was lucky

509
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: enough to be able to go to Windsor Castle and

510
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: pay my respects at her tomb recently. And and and

511
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: we had as a nation we could come together and celebrate.

512
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: Um that that person doing such great things. Um. I

513
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: just offhand referred to her as as in terms of popularity,

514
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: the dolly partner of the of the United Kingdom, which

515
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: Clay thought. He was like, you're you're crazy. You're gonna

516
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: get so so bashed or attorney. There was like a

517
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: big Tennessee newspaper that picked that up, or you know

518
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: that they took that line. I don't they heard it

519
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: from me, or they just went with it. But she

520
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: was she was like the dialing partner of the United Kingdom.

521
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: Everybody loved her, which I thought was pretty funny. Um. Okay,

522
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: So we had Vera Lynn during that the Second World War,

523
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 1: we had Viri Lynn and Viri Lynn. People will know

524
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: the song We'll Meet Again and actually We'll Meet Again

525
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: was one of the last songs that was ever played

526
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: on one of the Queen's Christmas addresses. And so that

527
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: I feel like Viri Lynn was kind of our Dolly parton.

528
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: I feel like the reason you don't have a comparison

529
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: is because of the very short term nature of both

530
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: your politics and your celebrity life. And again it's hard

531
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: to explain because I understand that constitutionally you guys are

532
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: reversed to it, but from an institutional perspective, a lot

533
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: of a lot of Britons, like myself look at it

534
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: and go, I'm so comforted by that. So this, this turns,

535
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: this turns into the next. I think it's an easy

536
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: way to transition into something that to me is related.

537
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: And you can take this ever you want, which is

538
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: I remember I think it was actually Andrew Tade before

539
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: he was held in prison. He has UK citizenship as

540
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: well as American citizenship. I think he said that England

541
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: is a country that no longer stands for anything and

542
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: that won't and that won't defend its values in as

543
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: effectively in terminal decline as a society. Do you agree

544
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: with that diagnosis? And I asked because as an American,

545
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people look at Canada, look

546
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: at the UK, look at Australia. I was living in

547
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: and now I've never been there, and I don't profess

548
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: to be an Australia expert. I thought it was kind

549
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: of like the United Kingdom. With nicer people in kangaroos.

550
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: But turns out they're a bunch of socialists who will

551
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: do whatever they're told and embrace authoritarianism, embrace the most

552
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: insane COVID lunacy. And that really worries me in a

553
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: society that it can't actually be nimble and adapt to

554
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: reality as it happens, that it could be overtaken by

555
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: a mass hysteria. Same thing in Canada under Trudeau. Is

556
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: the UK a country, and so we think that those

557
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: places are just further ahead of America. You know, they're

558
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: warning signs of what we will turn into if we

559
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: don't stand for certain values freedom, liberty, individuality. Is the

560
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: UK in terminal decline. What do you make of then, surfdom?

561
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, what you're talking about is serfdom, right, and

562
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's the worst part of it is almost

563
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: the choice to be a serf, to be a slave

564
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: to your government, your bureaucrats, your politicians, and forget that

565
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: they are the ones who are either supposed to represent

566
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: your interests or as you guys once did you know,

567
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: they'll get tarred and feathered and tossed overboard. And serfdom

568
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: is a very difficult thing in a world that is

569
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: increasingly relativistic morally and is increasingly secularized, because because government

570
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: has become the religion. You know, in the United Kingdom,

571
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: the National Health Service, which is failing, I mean failing.

572
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: They're having to set up temporary morgues and mortuaries across

573
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: the country simply because the National Health Service is killing people.

574
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: It is killing people by not showing up in time

575
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: when ambulances are called. It is killing people because it

576
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: is spending got gantu in sums of money. You know,

577
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: the National Health Services budget has doubled in the last

578
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: I think it's ten, ten to fifteen years. The health

579
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: has doubled. Do you think we have seen commensurate rises

580
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: in care as a result of that budget doubling. No,

581
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: we haven't. We've actually seen a worsening in care over

582
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: the last decade in the United Kingdom and the National

583
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: Health Service, you know, they call it the envy of

584
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: the world. I have never met anybody anywhere in the

585
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: world who envies our healthcare system. I've never met anybody

586
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world who looks at my teeth and goes, well,

587
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. I want to use the dentists that you're using.

588
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: And and you know, we've we've placed God with government

589
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: in our societies. We've replaced you know this, this this

590
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: appeal to something greater than us and greater than the little,

591
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: particular particularisms of the lives, the small little lives we

592
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: lead with bureaucracy and the boring nature of the things

593
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: that they tell us are moral, which are oftentimes while

594
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: immoral things. Right, I think of transgender you know, library

595
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: drag queen our or whatever they're calling it nowadays, is

596
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: one of the great examples of what is being deified.

597
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: So it's like a bathtub, right where where we know

598
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: that we have to keep that tub full of warm water,

599
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: that that that that cleanses us, that nourishes us, that

600
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: protects us, that keeps us warm. Meanwhile our Davos elite

601
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: are constantly pulling the plug and we're just constantly trying

602
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: to trying to plug that hole with with all manner

603
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: of things. Brexit as a good example of that, right

604
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: that that was the United Kingdoms electorate slamming their hand

605
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: on the drain and saying, well, well, well, well we

606
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: need our own, you know, system of government to keep

607
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: us independent, to keep us sovereign, to keep us safe,

608
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: and to hold our belief in something. But the problem

609
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: with that is sorry, I know, I'm just because you're

610
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: very close to it and know Nigel, and so I

611
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: want to put a pin in that. But keep going.

612
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: But just in conclusion of all of that point, you know,

613
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: you ask about terminal decline, it's not that. It's not

614
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: that we the people of any of these western countries

615
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: necessarily believe in the terminal decline of our nations. Yes,

616
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: of course, some silly Marxists you know, have bought into it,

617
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: but they we can overcome those people. We are stronger

618
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: than them in very many ways. But but it's that

619
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: every time we get anywhere close to not just stopping that,

620
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: but actually turning the taps on and refilling the bathtub,

621
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: it's the it's the you know, we call them the

622
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Davos Elite. Today, it's it's Davos one day, it's Brussels another,

623
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: it's Capitol Hill another. All of those people and all

624
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: of those institutions are still just tugging away at that

625
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: at that drain. Now, you did have a decline particular, right, right,

626
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: you did have a particular view of Brexit. Somebody who

627
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: you were on Nigel Farage's staff, you know Nigel very well,

628
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: you know the Brexiteers personally, uh and and and in

629
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: a close way, we were told, I mean, if you

630
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: were somebody who was reading you know, the Economist or

631
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: the editorial page of the New York Times, that Brexit

632
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: was going to lead to calamity. Right, I'm not sure

633
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: if it was going to be that all the Brits

634
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: would be starving, but you know, bad things were going

635
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: to happen from it, and then it was madness. What

636
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: has been the report card since Brexit? I mean, what

637
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: has gone on? How would you view it now that

638
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: some years have passed since that event that seemed to

639
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: shock the international elites and create this moment of maybe

640
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: we're not all going to be taking orders from bureaucrats

641
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: in Brussels. Actually, now this is where it gets really

642
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: interesting because I talked earlier about how Kirs Stamol wants

643
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: to replace the House of Lords with a Senate. Well,

644
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: why does he really want to do that? Because what

645
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: he intends to do is pass primary legislation in the

646
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: House of Commons to rejoin the European Union, and he

647
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: knows it will be easier to pass in an elected

648
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: Senate to rejoin the European Union than it would pass

649
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: through the House of Lords in our current constitutional format.

650
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: So right now in the British press on an almost

651
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: daily basis, and I go through it on an almost

652
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: daily base. Well now I go through it on a

653
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: daily basis. You see, you know, when are we going

654
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: to rejoin the EU? Should Britain rejoin the EU? Brexit

655
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: is least you, less popular than ever before. And as

656
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: the older generation that predominantly voted for Brexit is dying

657
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: out unfortunately, and as the Conservative part Conservative Party continues

658
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: to govern as a center left party, Brexit is being

659
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: watered down, it is being neutralized. There are all sorts

660
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: of things that are blamed nowadays on Brexit that that

661
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with Brexit. But the British public

662
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: sort of looks at it, and they're told it by

663
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: the Sun newspaper and the Times newspaper and the Murdoch

664
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: Press and and Sky News and the BBC, and they're

665
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: told it and they go, oh, yeah, I guess it

666
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: must have been Brexit. What a bad idea? So I think, unfortunately,

667
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: we're looking at a campaign now to return to the

668
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: European Union within the next five years, and and they

669
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: may well win that campaign. Is Britain salvageable as a

670
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: great country with a great tradition and a great people, Well,

671
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: you've described almost no longer exist. There is no one,

672
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, one British people anymore. In a lot of ways.

673
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: I am evidence of that. You know, my parents were well,

674
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: my father was born in Tanzania, my mother was born

675
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: in India. My lineage goes back to India. And a

676
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of people who are of my ilk chose not

677
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: to assimilate, and they chose not to you know, have

678
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: traditional British values, and they chose not to learn the

679
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: language as as as fluently as I did, and they

680
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: chose to kind of not have I wouldn't say like

681
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: a dual loyalty, but certainly like a dualism right inside

682
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: themselves that that, you know. And I don't like this.

683
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't like I just I meant the American people,

684
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, the American people as one people exist. It's

685
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: not about any racial, ethnic or religious identity. It's about

686
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: your identity as an American. Bama constitution and our culture

687
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: are shared history, so right so is the UK salvageable

688
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: in as that or is it breaking apart? I'm leading

689
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: up to Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. Sorry, I just

690
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: I like to flesh those things out, you know. And

691
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: you the reason I say that, it's because you do

692
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: it too, right African American, Asian American, and everybody gets

693
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: sort of segmented into these little identity groups, and we've

694
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: done that as well. Unless there is a minister, a

695
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: real sort of philosopher king that comes along and reminds

696
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: the country that it is one country in a very

697
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Disraelian sense, right, one nation. Conservatism was was the longest

698
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: running strain of conservative thought in the United Kingdom. Ever,

699
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: unless somebody comes along and reminds the general public of

700
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: that and indeed forces them to believe in it, right

701
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: like I don't mean, I don't mean through coercion, I

702
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: mean through argument, you know, gets them to believe in

703
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: that goal, then then no, there isn't a United Kingdom anymore,

704
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: and nor should we pretend that they will be. You

705
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: cannot have a cohesive nation if everybody is taught that

706
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: they are part of a different group than their next

707
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: door neighbors. Is it more left wing as a country

708
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: now in its totality than the US. I mean, you

709
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: have a means of comparison here. You know, one thing

710
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: that I think people have recognized about Canada is if

711
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: you take the most you know, beta male low t

712
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Marxist leadership in America, that's actually much more common and

713
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: much more powerful in the context of Canada and Trudeau

714
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: and Trudeauism. Right, So is that also true about the UK?

715
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: Right now? Are they even? Are they more awoke? I

716
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: don't even know how much that term is used over

717
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: there than we are here. Oh it's used. It's used

718
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: way too much over there, and it's it's used in

719
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: a really cringe way. So so they don't say, like

720
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: somebody goes, you know, woke in the UK, woke is

721
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: the is the adjective that describes the movement. So there'll

722
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: be like editorials in the Telegraph that says we must

723
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: end woke, you know, as if that's like antifa um

724
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: and it gets up, it gets on my nerves. Just

725
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: from a from a from a linguistic perspective, to answer

726
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: your question, I think governmentally, bureaucratically, we are far more

727
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: of a left wing country and you should look to

728
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: us as a warning of how not to run your country. Culturally.

729
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've been here for six years now. Culturally,

730
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: I think America is more left wing. People in the

731
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: United Kingdom are more you know, more inclined to say, okay, well,

732
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: let's let's take a beat on that and think about that,

733
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: and think about its implications to our culture, to our neighbors,

734
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: to our society. The America seems every time somebody comes

735
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: up with a you know, a progressive new thing, seems

736
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: to just slam its foot on the accelerator and go, yeah,

737
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: that's the new thing, and that's what we're going for now,

738
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: whether it's BLM or what have you, or the transgender stuff.

739
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, America, we have to we have to accept this.

740
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: America is the single largest exporter of cultural Marxism in

741
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: the world today, and that is a deeply, deeply shocking thing.

742
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: And of course, when you guys sneeze, we all catch

743
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: a cold. That stuff is now in Britain, it is

744
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: now in Australia, it is now in Canada, it is

745
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: all across Europe. You know. The French actually have the

746
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: lowest tolerance for this stuff of almost any European nation,

747
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, apart from the deeply social conservative nations like

748
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: Poland and Hungary. The French look at American political culture

749
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: as they do most as they do look at most

750
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: things American right going to say a political culture, but yeah,

751
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: they look at a lot of it. But but but on

752
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,959
Speaker 1: this one they're right. You know, on this thing, they're

753
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: not just being French about it. They're actually being smart

754
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: about it. And so you've got to know that when

755
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: the French are right about something in critique of you,

756
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: you've really got a problem. May we be in, sir,

757
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: We'll come back with Raheem. Here on a second, I

758
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: want to ask you what's the craziest thing that's happening

759
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: in America today? So you can think about that one, Raheem. Well,

760
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: I remind everybody, by the way, do you sleep on

761
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: my pillow? This should be you do? Yeah, I figured

762
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: I do too, because my pillow is amazing. Mike Lindell

763
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: has built this incredible company that helps millions of Americans

764
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,520

785
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: in America today. The craziest thing happening in America in

786
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: America today is that is that the right has not

787
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: managed cultural hegemony yet, like that is like, Yeah, I

788
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: find that utterly, utterly baffling. To be honest with you, Um,

789
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: that there is so much cultural rot and disease coming

790
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: out of Hollywood and New York, as you know, UM,

791
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: but that we haven't, that we haven't really truly cut

792
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: through that yet, really embarrasses me. Um. It speaks to

793
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: our lack of creative at it speaks to our lack

794
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: of Honestly, for people who regard themselves as I do,

795
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: and I don't, I don't profess to speak for you

796
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: in this regard, but I regard myself as a populist.

797
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: For people who regard themselves as populists, we're not very

798
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: good at being popular in the things that we promote culturally.

799
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: So that's why this year, I'm pleased to say, and

800
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: I think you may be getting the exclusive here on

801
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: this right now, that the National Pulse is going to

802
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: be moving into that territory. We are going to be

803
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: moving into print magazine territory. We are going to be

804
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: moving into documentary territory. We are we are just widening

805
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: the scope of the things that we present to as

806
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: many people as possible. Because because I was reading this

807
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: Michael Anton essay actually, I think it was in I

808
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: Am seventeen seventy six magazine, which is a great magazine

809
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: about about Tom Wolfe and about the the the vacuums

810
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: that he saw around him culturally, and how he he

811
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: just chose to fill them, right, He just told the

812
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: stories that he saw before him him that he knew

813
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: weren't being told anywhere else. On fire of the vanities,

814
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. And we've got we've got

815
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: real bonfires of the vanities going on in Washington, DC

816
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: right now. We've got we've got neighborhoods, predominantly black neighborhoods,

817
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: by the way, which are being totally left to rack

818
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: and ruin by a black mayor of Washington, d C.

819
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: But nobody's telling those stories for the sake of history.

820
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: Nobody's telling them for the sake of the next generation

821
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: learning from the mistakes. And so that is the thing

822
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: that really really baffles me constantly, how we are not

823
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: better at this yet. So, for example, because I think

824
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: this comes up a lot on the right in the

825
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: context of how is it that we thought the outcome

826
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: here would be any different when we've been playing for

827
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: this make believe neutral space and a lot of institutions

828
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 1: for a long time, and for example, even in classrooms,

829
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, well, there you're pushing your right wing

830
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: conservative values. Someone's values are going to be in the classroom.

831
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: I think the right has at least woken up to

832
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: that reality because of you know, transgender drag, Queen Story Hour,

833
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: and all these things that have become a CRT which

834
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: is explicitly in many context anti white, explicitly racist in

835
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: the way that it's presented in classrooms. People have realized

836
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: that there's not this oh, we're just gonna have neutral space,

837
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: neutral space. When you have a left wing that says

838
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: that you know, algebra and higher math class being taught

839
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: as racist, you're going to you have to address the

840
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: battle as it is and not as you wish it were.

841
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: So there are some places colleges, universities, for example Rheim,

842
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: that the the left will not allow there to be

843
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: any who do not think like them. But given the

844
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: creative areas right, So you know, if you're in the

845
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: political science department at a lot of different universities, you're

846
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: never going to get hired as an associate professor. You're

847
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: never going to get a ten year for sure. If

848
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: you're a conservative, So they operate it like a country

849
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: club that won't allow in the you know, the undesirables,

850
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: the conservatives. In the creative side, though, why don't we have?

851
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: You brenchtioned Tom Wolf? By the way, Bonfire the Vanity

852
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite novels of all time. Took

853
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: place in the Upper East Side where I grew up,

854
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: and I read Tom Wolf when I was in the

855
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: eighth grade. I've read that book in the eighth grade.

856
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: Why don't we produce great novels? Why don't we have

857
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: It's amazing? People will say that show is conservative, or

858
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: people will say the Top Gun Maverick is conservative. I'd

859
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: say it's not conservative. It's just a movie the way

860
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: movies used to be entertaining, good guys, bad guys, and

861
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: not a lot of radical political theory thrown in there.

862
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: Why can't we Why aren't we capable of teams of

863
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: doing more of that? Are we capable of doing more

864
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: of that? Yeah? And it's like every single time that

865
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: a left wing celebrity or a journalist comes out on

866
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: our side just a little bit, we all go nuts

867
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: and hand them the football and say, right, you're you're

868
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Now, whether it's whether it's Barry Wise or

869
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: Ricky Gervais or your lawn musk or whatever. You know,

870
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: we leave the people who have been fighting on our side,

871
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: and we hand the ball of the control of the

872
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: game over to somebody very recently on our side. And

873
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: then and then when they when they turn and asshole,

874
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: when they you know, express that they weren't quite signed

875
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: up for the entire thing, then we go, oh my goodness.

876
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: Some of us were warning about about the Kanye situation

877
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: before Kanye went totally you know, whacko, right, and and

878
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: and here's look, here's a message to people who, because

879
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: it's Jermaine to your question, is not you and I

880
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean we we do this on a daily basis, right,

881
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: We are literally creating content every single day that millions

882
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: of people see. But but there's there's a lot more

883
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: to the conservative cultural movement than the podcast as, the

884
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: talking heads, the political strategists, all of that. It actually

885
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: really behooves the ordinary American to step into this space

886
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: because only you, who is not living in DC, who

887
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: is not living in New York, who is not living

888
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: in Miami, who is not living in in in these

889
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: big cities can talk about the experiences that you're having

890
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: in your states, in your counties, in your towns, in

891
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 1: your villages, in your you know, I don't care whether

892
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: you live in a in a relatively new suburban district,

893
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: whether you live in a you know, in the desert.

894
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: If you're not putting pen to paper and memorializing the

895
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: experiences that you're having, then why do you suppose that

896
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: anybody will do that for you? Right? And here's the thing.

897
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: A lot of those people were not great writers, they

898
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: were not great thinkers. What they were able to do

899
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 1: is observe the world around them and just write enough

900
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: down so that somebody somewhere could pick over it at

901
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: some point in the future and go, ah, this is

902
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: what was going on in these areas. It wasn't all Biden,

903
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: and it wasn't all LGBT, and it wasn't all this.

904
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: We need historians to be able to see that stuff.

905
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: And it is completely completely on the shoulders of ordinary

906
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: Americans to make sure that stuff stays in the historical record.

907
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: The second part of this is um you talked about

908
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: in somebody's values is going to be in the classroom,

909
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: right and that and that's so called that fake neutral space. Well,

910
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: that fake neutral space comes from comes from secularism, it

911
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: comes from science, and it comes from the expert class.

912
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: The expert class that we all know were the people

913
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: behind COVID, were the people saying that there'll be a

914
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: third World War if, if you know, Britain leaves the

915
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: European Union. They were all saying that Donald Trump would

916
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: would you know, accidentally press the nuclear button instead of

917
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: the diet coke Buttonum, these are the people who need

918
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: challenging and we should. You know, the you know the

919
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: Chad meme where it's just you know, the guy and

920
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: he just says, you know, yes, that's it. Yes. Well,

921
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: when the left accuses us of oh, well you just

922
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: want your philosophy in the classrooms, Yes, oh you just

923
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: want you know, anti abortion measures, Yes, you just don't

924
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: want me you know, a man dressed up in a

925
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: skirt going into the girl's locker room. Yes, you know.

926
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: Those are the answers. It's you don't have to equivocate

927
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: about those things. And we spend too much time equivocating.

928
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: We want to be liked too much. Forget about it.

929
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: We're not going to be liked by the other side.

930
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna be liked by your own side. I think

931
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: personally that I am going to use twenty twenty three

932
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: to write more than I've ever written before because there

933
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: are so many things going on out there. I am

934
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: going to do a tour of the United States and

935
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: document in documentary format what is going on out there

936
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: in the real United States, because very few people are

937
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: telling the stories of ordinary Americans, and I think these

938
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: are the times especially that those stories need to be told.

939
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: And and you know, history is not written by the victors.

940
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: History is written by those who bother to write it.

941
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: So let's write it. Rahem Kasalm. Everybody check out the

942
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: Raheem Kassam podcast and also go to the National Pulse

943
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: and keep an eye out for all these projects that

944
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: he's talking. Raheem, you're promising some cool stuff that people

945
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: are going to be looking for it. So thank you,

946
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: my friend, for coming and hanging out. And we'll have

947
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: to do like a podcast after dark session at some

948
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: point with some booze, some lifestyle tips. What's the one

949
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: what is the one thing Raheem that the American that

950
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: American men listening to this, if you could get them

951
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: to either do more of or less of one thing,

952
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: what would it be. Well, you know, every year is

953
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: dry January for me, and it's it's a real it's

954
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: it's a hardship for thirty one days and I'm going

955
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: through that. It's the tail end of it right now.

956
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm going through it. But you know, for me, I've

957
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: undertaken a lot of different things in the last couple

958
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 1: of years. I was, I was about forty pounds heavier,

959
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: um not, but twenty four months ago, I've I've lost

960
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: all that way. I've changed a lot of the things

961
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: in my life. Um. Honestly, the things that that's made

962
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: the world of difference to me from a from a

963
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: physical perspective is deadlifting, running and the stair master. Quite

964
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: frankly that it sort of shed all of the weight

965
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: for me. And the other part of it for me

966
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 1: is um, you know, I've very much switched. I used

967
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: to be a seven eight nine points of beer and

968
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: night kind of guy. You know, no dinner, It was

969
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: just beer for me, and I very much switched that

970
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: out from martinis a little bit more sophisticated, a little

971
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: you can you can drink fewer of them and still

972
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, have that little buzz I actually think they

973
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: are far better a measure of a man than a

974
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: than a than a cores light as well. And then

975
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: the other thing is ignore the advice from the nutrition

976
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: experts who are trying to get you to eat crickets

977
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: and all of that nonsense. The best breakfast you can

978
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: have is steaking eggs, and frankly, the best every meal

979
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: you can have your steak and eggs. So get on

980
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: that trade. I actually totally agree. So there you go, everybody.

981
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: Raheem my friend, thanks for being with us, thanks for

982
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: giving us your time, and we'll have you back soon.

983
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Just thank you. Puck
