Welcome to the Tucker Carlson Show. We bring you stories that have not been showcased anywhere else.
And they're not censored, of course, because we're not gatekeepers.
Speaker 4
We are honest brokers here to tell you what we think you need to know and do it honestly. Check out all of our content at tuckercarlson.com.
Here's the episode.
Speaker 5 I find it really strange that people aren't able to make the distinction between regimes and populations.
Speaker 5 Why is that insane? If you're angry with the Putin regime, okay. But why would that automatically make you say that you hate Russians? But also compared to 140 million of them.
Speaker 5 You can dislike Macron and like French people. Why can't people make the distinction? Why do you have to be at war with an entire population just because you don't like the regime? It's insane.
Speaker 4 But moreover, I can like or dislike anyone I want because I'm an adult adult man and I'm not a slave. So I can have any opinion I want.
Speaker 5 We discriminate by nature. It's in our nature to discriminate.
Speaker 4 But also, it's my birthright.
Speaker 5 Like,
Speaker 4 you can't tell me who I have to like and dislike.
Speaker 4 And I'm not going to submit to that.
Speaker 4 Last night we were talking at dinner and you expressed some views. And I thought to myself, I'm eating with a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 5 Well, I think if you're not a conspiracy theorist by now, you're not paying attention.
Speaker 5 You are often described that way.
Speaker 5 Does it rattle you?
Speaker 5 Well, there was probably a time when it would have done, but
Speaker 5 I've gone through this process in the last four years
Speaker 5 of realizing that I spent the first 50-some years of my life
Speaker 5 believing and trusting a certain worldview.
Speaker 4 Yes.
Speaker 5
with COVID and everything thereafter, all of that fell apart. It's like picking a thread on a tapestry.
The whole thing just fell away into...
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 once you lose all of the things that you had taken for granted and trusted, then I suppose almost by definition you're in territory that others who aren't on the same path as you would call conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 5 But it's really just, you think, well, if I think now that they were lying to me about that and that and that, were they telling me the truth about anything at all? Yes.
Speaker 5 And you're aware that some of it must be true, but
Speaker 5 it's early yet. I've only been in this revelatory process.
Speaker 5 The scales have only fallen from my eyes. My naïve trust that I placed in the establishment and in the institutions that I placed in them without really thinking about it terribly much.
Speaker 4 Well, you were part of the establishment, you worked for BBC.
Speaker 5 Well, I worked for BBC inasmuch as I was doing contract work for BBC. Yeah, so but I was never directly employed by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Speaker 5 I was, you know, I'd be brought in to do a project and I would be a production company would pitch a project.
Speaker 5 I would be the presenter that was associated with that project and I would be paid by the day for the duration of the project. And then I wouldn't be working for the BBC.
Speaker 4 I'm just saying that people watched you on BBC.
Speaker 5 Yeah, I'm sure they did. I wrote a column for the Sunday Times in Scotland.
Speaker 5 I had been for a while the president of the National Trust for Scotland.
Speaker 5 I was at one stage I was a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. So I was certainly associated with and part of
Speaker 5
the infrastructure of the establishment. That's absolutely the case.
But I did all of it.
Speaker 5 I hold my hands up and say I did it in a naive way without really interrogating the integrity of those institutions. It was just...
Speaker 4 Oh, I'm not judging you. I've been there.
Speaker 5 I just trusted that.
Speaker 5 I've always been a political atheist,
Speaker 5 struggling to vote in general elections, but usually trying to vote for someone to to to make plain that I was taking part in the democratic process.
Speaker 5 But I never I never had a st I've never been affiliated to any political p party, any ideology.
Speaker 5 But
Speaker 5 I think I thought that the the powers that be
Speaker 5 had mine and my family's interests at heart, whether they were red or blue
Speaker 5 or or or whatever.
Speaker 5 I thought basically they're going to keep the lights on, they're going to make sure there's food in the supermarkets, they'll maintain the roads, there'll be schools open, there'll be a hospital if my family needs it,
Speaker 5 regardless. But now I just don't feel,
Speaker 5 well, I now know that the establishment doesn't have mine or my family's interests at heart, and that's hard, it's like a grieving process, I think.
Speaker 5 Yes, the analogy I would make with that, you know, the five stages of grief that we're supposed to go through, the shock, the denial, the
Speaker 5 bargaining, you know, the anger, the various stages that you're supposed to go through. I'm still, I'm probably probably four years in,
Speaker 5 just coming to that point where I'm making peace with the fact that
Speaker 5 it's my responsibility that I didn't see the reality.
Speaker 5 That's me. So for a while, I was angry with them, and I still am angry with them.
Speaker 5
But baddies are just baddies. You know, baddies do what baddies do.
My problem is that I feel, oh, it's my fault. I should have seen that.
I should have. I'm with you on that.
Speaker 5 I should have understood that.
Speaker 4 How could I have been so stupid?
Speaker 4 So I just think it's really interesting that there's an overwhelming amount of evidence to support what you just said, that the people in charge do not have your or your family's interests at heart at all.
Speaker 4 In fact, they're working against those interests day and night for whatever reason. I don't think any honest person can deny that at this point, four years in.
Speaker 4 Why?
Speaker 4 Well, compound question.
Speaker 4 What percentage of your friends in 2020 arrived at the same conclusions you have arrived at? And what's the difference between you and those who didn't admit what was happening?
Speaker 5 I would say I've lost touch with
Speaker 5 everyone
Speaker 5 from before really everyone. Well, you know, I'm still, obviously, I'm still my family, and that's the family into which I was born, and also my married family,
Speaker 5
my in-laws. We've all remained as close as we ever were.
Although, you know, there were differences of opinion about whatever, what COVID was,
Speaker 5 about the products, the jabs, and so on. So there were differences of opinion, but it didn't cause any ill feeling or
Speaker 5 any schisms there. So those people are still fully, we're still, it's all very loving and close.
Speaker 5 But
Speaker 5 work colleagues, friends, you know, people that I'd known in some instances from university days, people that I'd worked beside,
Speaker 5 broadly, broadly, I've lost touch with all of them.
Speaker 5 There's a handful of people, there's literally, you know, count on the fingers of one-handed people that, as it turns out, ended up with all of the same suspicions and have ended up every bit as conspiracist as me.
Speaker 5 But as I'm sure you would testify, well, I don't know, I'm not going to put, I'm not going to, you know, prejudge your experience, but
Speaker 5 those people that that
Speaker 5 I parted company with,
Speaker 5 that void has been filled, that vacuum drew into it a whole other caste of people, in many cases very unlikely and unexpected.
Speaker 5 It was very, it was, Trudy and I, my wife and I, we would laugh about, you know, who are you on the phone? Who have you just come off the phone from now?
Speaker 5 And I would say, and it would seem so bizarre and so unlikely.
Speaker 5 People that a few years ago I'd never have imagined I would ever have a conversation with, not for any particular reason, but I just didn't expect to be pulled into their orbit or them into mine.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 I've been through this process of shedding one carapace,
Speaker 5 feeling very exposed, I suppose, like something that has cast out, like a crab without its shell until the shell hardens again.
Speaker 5 You know, so very raw, nerves jangling, but now that it's forming again, and I would say, I suppose to torture that analogy a little bit, I feel a little bit bigger.
Speaker 5 You know, I feel as if I have grown because I wouldn't go back if I could press a button and make the COVID debacle not have happened, I wouldn't because
Speaker 5 what I've learned and what I feel I now understand, or at least that which I think I now have enough wit to ask the relevant questions to better understand,
Speaker 5 I wouldn't exchange where I was for where I am now.
Speaker 4 Back to a shallow, dishonest life.
Speaker 5 And I did, I lost all those affiliations that I had, you know, because of the kind of
Speaker 5 television persona that I had when I was making soft history and archaeology documentaries, you get invited to be patron of this representative of that, you know, just people want affiliation with you.
Speaker 5 So, you know, I was connected to Combat Stress, which was a veterans charity. And I was connected to,
Speaker 5 you know, the Association of Lighthouse Keepers.
Speaker 4 Is that a big one in Scotland?
Speaker 5
No, it's a very fringe little group, people that look after the lighthouse group. Yeah, the lighthouse keepers.
And
Speaker 5 as I say, you know,
Speaker 5 I had an agent and
Speaker 5
I had a column in the Sunday Times. I had been the president of the National Trust.
I was a fellow of the Royal Society. And all of that's, I'm not anymore.
I'm not any of those things anymore.
Speaker 5 They all distance themselves from me one by one, like
Speaker 5
Domino's toppling. And it hurts at the time, or the first one does, like the first punch in the face.
You know, you never get, you know,
Speaker 5 every punch you get thereafter is sore, but it doesn't have the shock value of the of the first one uh and so once i parted company with the one
Speaker 5 oh yeah yeah oh yeah i can see that coming
Speaker 5 and it's just a it's just a process that i'm glad to be on for me for us my family
Speaker 4 i've been this is i think of this as the great sorting
Speaker 4 i mean under this immense downward pressure exerted on the West over the last four years, people sort of wound up on one side or the other and it's not a clean political divide.
Speaker 4 It's not even a political divide, as you've pointed out. It's not left, right,
Speaker 4 you know, laboratory, whatever.
Speaker 4 But I've never figured out, and I've thought about it a lot, what is it
Speaker 4 in people that
Speaker 4 compelled them to move to one side or the other, particularly to the side you're on? You said it's unlikely people that you never thought you'd been talking to.
Speaker 5 Like, what do they all have in common? It's a question that, you know, Trudy and I and others in a small group of
Speaker 5 like-minded people, that is the $64,000.
Speaker 5 as they used to say.
Speaker 5 What's the common denominator? What's the unifying feature? I don't really know.
Speaker 5 I think
Speaker 5 there has been a great sorting.
Speaker 5 I think this, what happened in 2020, 2021,
Speaker 5 the choices that we were invited to make, you know, pick a side, are you going to be with us? or not
Speaker 5 and a large number of people decided to be with the
Speaker 5 part to remain part of the main
Speaker 5 and other people pulled back from it this was the great sorting of our generation yes the first big sorting like that that there has been for decades
Speaker 5 and i think in part some of it i think was simply down to people's natural you know amygdala fight or flight response to threat I think some people, you know, people, you don't know until whatever the gunfire starts.
Speaker 5 That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 whether you you can't predict it until you think you're brave yeah you know and you know people like you know people like jordan peterson you know have articulated it very well that the the culture of movies that we were all invited to watch growing up you're invited to think in in world war ii you'd have you'd have been with the french resistance of course you would have you would have you would have hidden your neighbors because the black band was outside going to take them away that's how that's how people people are invited to think that they would be the maverick
Speaker 5 you would be the one that that stands in the face of
Speaker 5 the tide.
Speaker 5 And then it happened. Before people realized what had happened, they had been
Speaker 5 sorted in that way. And
Speaker 5 I think the really part of what's really difficult now is that there's no going back.
Speaker 5 And yet we're all still living together.
Speaker 5 All the people are broadly still there.
Speaker 5 Those that jumped one way and those that jumped the other.
Speaker 5 And we have to find this way to go on because
Speaker 5 we were invited to see what some
Speaker 5 what a lot of people were prepared to do.
Speaker 5 One of the most
Speaker 5 difficult parts of it, it sounds silly now because it's really a detail, but
Speaker 5 quite early on when the mask mandate was still very much, everyone had to wear a face mask, and I was I was having to go up and down to London for work.
Speaker 5 I was flying home every Sunday morning, and it would be, I don't know, British Airways flight or whoever.
Speaker 5 And I wasn't wearing a face mask
Speaker 5 under any circumstances. And I would go through the airport, which was difficult enough.
Speaker 4 Wait, if I can just ask you to pause, why weren't you wearing a face mask? Would it just be easier to do what everyone else does and be obedient?
Speaker 5 Yeah, why are you so disobedient?
Speaker 5 Well, again,
Speaker 5
I was always a rule keeper, a law abider. I've always had, you know, I'm not, I've never, I've never been a protester, I've never been an activist, anything.
I'm very much a, I'm a, you know,
Speaker 5
I just was always, I wasn't really paying attention. That's the truth of it.
I just wasn't really watching what was going on.
Speaker 4 Well, you were making archaeology documentaries.
Speaker 5 Yeah, well, exactly.
Speaker 5 I had more things going on, but to get back to the planes, so it'd be awkward enough, people watching you in the airport, but then I would go up the steps of the plane, the crew, the cabin crew would be masked, and they would say, you're not wearing a face mask.
Speaker 5 And I would say, no, I'm not wearing a face mask.
Speaker 5
Are you exempt? Some of them would say. And I would just say, yeah, I'm exempt.
Because in my head, I was.
Speaker 5
As a human being, I'm definitely exempt from this nonsense. So I wasn't even lying in my own head.
I thought, no, I am exempt because there's no point in this.
Speaker 4 I'm not a slave. Yeah, I'm exempt.
Speaker 5 You turn right down into the body of the plane and be 299 people with face masks on glaring, glaring at me. And I would think,
Speaker 5
it's this close. You know, if someone gave the signal to, you know, let's pin this guy down in the aisle.
Let's eat him. Yeah, you could see suddenly
Speaker 5 you could see I am actually at risk here, not from the establishment necessarily, not from the government in this moment. I'm just, I'm just,
Speaker 5
because I have made myself conspicuous. Yes.
I have stood out from the norm. And anything could happen in the next five minutes.
And I'd have to do the long walk down to my seat.
Speaker 5
It'd be 27e or something, some middle seat. I have to get into it.
And sometimes people either side of me would ring the service bell, put the light on, ask to be moved to get away from me.
Speaker 5 And of course, they couldn't because it was a full flight. And then I would have to sit for the hour and 15 minutes or whatever of the flight back up to Edinburgh as pariah and then get off the plane.
Speaker 5 And I, and then rinse and repeat, do it next week, do it next week, do it next week. Didn't, it just, and it's just like I say, that's a silly anecdote.
Speaker 4 It's not silly at all, it's totally real.
Speaker 5 But suddenly, you suddenly I saw people, and you think, gosh, it's you could suddenly see how things happen. Questions, you had thought, I wonder how they got that to happen in Germany in the 30s.
Speaker 5 I wonder how they got that to happen in the terror in France in the, you know,
Speaker 5
1909, yeah, the 18th century. I wonder how they got that to happen in Russia.
Well, I don't ask myself that anymore because you think, how?

Speaker 4 So you said that in public. You said famously something close to what you just said, which is, oh, now I understand how totalitarian movements, you know, sort of move downward into the population.
Speaker 4 And the population, by and large, supports some genocidal agenda that normal people wouldn't support, but they do support it. And you said that, and you were attacked as a bigot for saying that.
Speaker 5 Oh, yeah. But
Speaker 5 you must have been on the same...
Speaker 5 Surely you were getting the, you know, that was your experience.
Speaker 4 Don't pay any attention at all. So I'm sure I've been called every name.
Speaker 5 I don't care, you know, at all.
Speaker 4 But I had checked out mentally
Speaker 5 for sure. But what is it about why, you know, you've clearly been more
Speaker 5 sort of, I suppose, bullheaded, stubborn about things and been prepared to stand in the face of things for longer than me. So what's, you know, what's it in,
Speaker 5 when you were asking me, what did I think was the common, what was in, what was the common denominator, what was uniting all of the people that were refusing to go along with it.
Speaker 5 What's it in, what do you think?
Speaker 4
Well, I just grew up in a different way. So I just knew that, you know, the majority opinion was not always right.
I always felt that. And
Speaker 4 I knew that I didn't care what people thought of me except the people I love just because of the way I grew up. And
Speaker 4
so it was not hard for me at all to take a position that is different from everyone else's. I only care about, you know, the people directly around me.
So that's just my temperament.
Speaker 5 What about then the plight of a concept like democracy? We talk a lot. We're brought up in in the West to talk about democracy and liberty and freedom and rights.
Speaker 5 What's your take on the reality of what democracy even means now? Because for me,
Speaker 5 I have been forced through a process of thinking about what democracy even is
Speaker 5 and wondering.
Speaker 5 what it is that we had that we called democracy and certainly wondering what it is that we have now, if anything, of that which we used to call it.
Speaker 4 Well, democracy, at least in my view, I mean, it's been redefined to mean democracy is a system of government in which the people in charge, whether the elected officials, the agency heads, the people who run well-funded NGOs, when their views are represented, even though they may constitute 2% of the population's views, when those views are represented, when they're fully in charge and can do whatever they want, that's democracy.
Speaker 4 That's not my view of democracy. My view of democracy is much more primitive, kind of the peasant view of democracy, which is it's a species of private property, it's ownership.
Speaker 4 I am a citizen of this country, I was born here, so are my parents, and I therefore have a share in this. I'm a shareholder in the country, like I own part of this mine, actually.
Speaker 4 Now, I own one 350 millionth of it, but it's still ownership, it's still a share. And you can't treat me like a slave or even your servant because
Speaker 4
this is my place. And that's what I think democracy is.
It's almost like a temperamental,
Speaker 4 it's a description of the certain worldview that you have about your government and your relationship to that government. So that's how I feel about it.
Speaker 4 It doesn't mean that if 51% of the population wants something, it gets it every time. We have a representative democracy, a constitutional republic, as I'm often reminded.
Speaker 4 But basically, if you have a system where the people in charge don't care at all about what the population thinks, we know for sure that's not democracy. I mean, what did you think it was?
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 as you just said, I,
Speaker 5 you know,
Speaker 5 in a state of semi-slumber, just imagined that I was represented
Speaker 5 in the places of power
Speaker 5 by,
Speaker 5
you know, by the fact that I was able to vote. And I now realise that voting once every four or five years is...
is nothing at all.
Speaker 5
That's a completely meaningless transaction to me now. It always was.
I mean, I see now why I was, oh, God, it's a general election, I better vote for somebody. I was always very disconnected from it.
Speaker 5 But now I partly think that that may have been some kind of semi-instinctive realization that it was meaningless anyway.
Speaker 5 But I worry now about quite a lot of people
Speaker 5 around me talk about direct democracy
Speaker 5 as a solution to our problems.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 it's always the Swiss model that's quoted:
Speaker 5 referenda about this, that, and everything. You sort out everything by having a referendum about it.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 having gone through the last four years, that worries me because
Speaker 5 if there had been a referendum about face masks or lockdown or,
Speaker 5 God forbid, mandatory jobs, we'd have got all of them.
Speaker 5 The majority vote would have enacted all of those things, mandated jabs, longer, tighter lockdowns,
Speaker 5 face masks, and all of the rest of it, would have been enacted by direct democracy. So now I think
Speaker 5 the problem you've got there is
Speaker 5 the majority,
Speaker 5 you better hope they come to your conclusion. Well, I mean, because otherwise, otherwise, you've just,
Speaker 5 if we take the step of thinking that direct democracy is the way to get us out of these problems, well,
Speaker 5 in short, I I live in fear of direct democracy.
Speaker 4 So why do you think they're saying that? I mean, what people leave out, I'm very familiar with Switzerland. I have ancestors from Switzerland, spent a lot, went to school in Switzerland,
Speaker 4 was there twice this year. I'm not an expert on Switzerland, but I know it well enough to say conclusively their political system works because they have a Swiss population.
Speaker 4 with certain attitudes that have evolved over a thousand years and um and it works for them and they vote twice a year and all this stuff and the cantons have a lot of independent power
Speaker 4 very weak central government et cetera etc but that works with Swiss people
Speaker 4 they're changing the population of the West and particularly of Europe
Speaker 4 so fast that you sort of wonder like what is that
Speaker 4 I mean the idea that you know there is a thing called a Briton or a Spaniard or a Frenchman or Portuguese people or Belgians or people from Liechtenstein or whatever, that there are sort of populations, indigenous populations in these countries that have a certain national character and language and shared history.
Speaker 4 All of that is being obliterated
Speaker 4 by mass immigration.
Speaker 4
It's on purpose. It's against the will of the populations, existing populations of those countries.
And it's clearly tied to political power. I mean, am I missing something?
Speaker 4 I mean, look, this is my view from 3,000 miles away.
Speaker 5 No,
Speaker 5 without a shadow of a doubt, I think the same thing is happening. Well,
Speaker 5 it's happening right here
Speaker 4 it's obliterating the united states but it's harder for the for americans to fight back against it because there's no i mean our indigenous population you know or the american indians who aren't even really the indigenous population but whatever they were here before the europeans arrived they replaced another population was here before them but whatever the point is we don't have kind of the we don't feel we have the moral standing that say the scots would have
Speaker 4 scotland was never or has not been in a very long time an a colonial Identity.
Speaker 4 Why are they doing this to Scotland?
Speaker 5 Identity is a sense of identity, personal identity, the sovereign individual,
Speaker 5 and then that coming together to be
Speaker 5 maybe a sense of community in your town,
Speaker 5 and it broadens out to national identity is problematic.
Speaker 5 I'm utterly convinced that there's just a huge centralization of power going on.
Speaker 5 There's an anonymous faceless cabal of people whose names we don't know whose faces we wouldn't recognize who are centralizing power and for the first time the technology is enabling that to be global and people have tried it in the past you know whatever people have have tried to be have been totalitarian in the past but it's the technology and the and the reach
Speaker 5 has never enabled a tyrant to control the whole world, but that is there now.
Speaker 5 And I think that's what we are what we are hurtling towards and you know people like eric hoffer and the true believer and so on you know he he wrote so so effectively about how every mass movement has sought to take away people's national identity and their personal identity so they want you to they want you to they want each individual to turn their back on their parents and on their family as being, you know, you can do better than these people.
Speaker 5 Their ideas are outmoded. You know,
Speaker 5 they've messed you up and you'd be better off without that influence. And likewise, they want to cut people away from their national roots, their sense of belonging in a place,
Speaker 5 and their sense that they are British or that they are French. Because once you get people de-eracinated in that way, cut away from their roots,
Speaker 5 and the process is also about making people ashamed of their history.
Speaker 5 be it their own family history or their national history,
Speaker 5 so that there's nothing in the past but things to be ashamed of so you get people to disavow the past to disavow their parents to disavow the family to disabow the the nation as it's been understood and then those people are just dots on a spreadsheet they're just they're just flickering dots on a screen that can be put anywhere and you have and now you have a global population that don't belong or feel connected to anywhere.
Speaker 5 And so you can put them anywhere because they have no roots.
Speaker 5 And that's been tried over and over again all the great faiths have done something attempted something similar all the great ideologies all the isms fascism communism whatever you they all seek to do the to to as hoffer explains it in true believer they all apply the same tools to get people disconnected until you're just a a lone individual that's ready to don a uniform and do something new in the face of utopia, you know, the nowhere place that is the ideal future that's easy to sell people because it doesn't actually exist.
Speaker 4
But what it means is total destruction. I mean, I see mass immigration in Europe as a form of warfare against the indigenous population.
They're being destroyed and degraded.
Speaker 4 Very obvious to me as a serial visitor to that continent over 50 years. And it gets worse every time I go there.
Speaker 4 But I noticed that the people who are from there, whose parents were born there, whose ancestors were there a thousand years ago, in your case, wearing like face paint and skirts with spears or whatever,
Speaker 4 scary
Speaker 4 highland tribes. Like none of those people feel free to stand up and say, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 Like, no, you can't flood my country with people from another place because they're not Scottish and I am and you're wrecking my country. Why can't that's not racist?
Speaker 5
That's just obvious. Yeah, and it's also, I mean, it's also important to remember all the time that these people are being uprooted and moved.
in their turn as well. Oh, I agree.
Speaker 5 Everyone. And so, you know, so what happens is, yes,
Speaker 5 indigenous populations are being flooded by people from elsewhere, but those people have been uprooted by
Speaker 5
the same forces of chaos and disruption. You know, the West has done god-awful things to one country of the Middle East and elsewhere, one after another, African countries.
And those people
Speaker 5
have been cut away from the roots, and they're on the move as well. So everyone's victim in this.
Everyone.
Speaker 5 And where people turn up in large numbers, where they, you know, from a from an ethnic and cultural and heritage point of view, don't belong, but that's also not their fault.
Speaker 5 You know, they're, they're pawns on the board as well. And of course, what happens is that the people,
Speaker 5 you know, the resident, the incumbent population feel threatened by the arrival of the new and they get angry with the incomers when really
Speaker 5 we should all link arms, everyone should link arms and say, who did this?
Speaker 5 Calm down, everyone, just for, let's let's sort out exactly how this has happened to us.
Speaker 4 How are we being manipulated?
Speaker 5 Why are you, why are you, who's moved you here?
Speaker 5 You know, so it's important because
Speaker 5 you fall so readily into the conversation. I agree.
Speaker 4 But do you have that conversation in Scotland specifically?
Speaker 5 It's very difficult because, of course, everything,
Speaker 5 any kind of dissent, any kind of raising a voice in that way brings out the same predictable tools from the toolbox. So you get...
Speaker 5 you just get called you know i've i've long ago you know i've been described as anti-semitic for one reason and another i've been described as white supremacist for one reason and another you know i've had i've had all the labels and and you know you said right at the beginning uh you're you're now known as a conspiracy theorist they're almost badges of honor why i grow on the horse if you haven't if you're not being tarred with those brushes then you're not you're not doing your bit Because if you you can
Speaker 5 immediately, that old line about you know that you're over the target when you're taking flack,
Speaker 5 if you're being, if they've got to go, if they've got nothing better than to call you anti-semitic white supremacist whatever then you think oh i must be i must be doing something right because that's just the same old uh box of clumsy blunt tools that get brought out to shout down anyone who's actually asking important pertinent questions but we're not going to answer them because we're not going to give them the answer because the answer will expose us the baddies even further so let's just let's just dismiss them as does it racist or whatever in scotland in the uk well i think as i say because many people
Speaker 5 are now finding that it's a badge of honour to be,
Speaker 5
you know, I've been a Putin apologist. I've had that one flung at me.
I've been all sorts of things just because
Speaker 5 I've said, you know, we're jumping into all of these stories at the moment in the third act was actually the expression that Jimmy Doord used to me when I had him on my show the other week.
Speaker 5 And he said, you know, everyone was invited to join the Ukraine story in the third act.
Speaker 5
But, you know, there's pages and pages of of this play before you get to the Russian tanks trundling across the Ukrainian border. You're coming in late.
You've joined the cinema in the last year.
Speaker 4 Well, there have been a war in progress for eight years.
Speaker 5 And now
Speaker 5 it's Israel-Gaza, and everyone's invited to that all started on October the 7th. Oh, it did? No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 it's all obvious stuff.
Speaker 5 And because those turn spotlights onto places and stories and backstories that the troublemakers, the original troublemakers, do not want to be confronted with, then hence, you know, shutting everything down, censorship, labeling, you know, dismissing people as
Speaker 5 well, whatever bad name they can think of.
Speaker 4 How long did it actually take you to get to decide you didn't care what they called you?
Speaker 5 Again,
Speaker 5 it's that thing about, you know, the first time you get punched, it hurts, but worse than the pain, it's the shock. But then the next time you get punched, you think, oh, yeah, that's that again
Speaker 5 and
Speaker 5 I suppose
Speaker 5 uh around the time because I I came into all of this I suppose or I was seen to come into all of this around COVID and lockdowns and vaccines for children and all of the rest of it but then
Speaker 5 as I say once I picked that that threat and then everything started to then the the big tapestry all started to fray and unfurl the next thing that came up then was Ukraine
Speaker 5 and suddenly people who had there was this loose coalition, I suppose, this fragile thing of people coming together around the COVID debacle and asking the right questions and being militant enough and saying no.
Speaker 5 There was a cohesion there. But the Ukraine, it was as though the powers that be right,
Speaker 5 we've been rumbled on COVID. Let's get a war going.
Speaker 5 Wars are great. And then, and so Ukraine started, and a lot of the people that had been, that had brief,
Speaker 5 it was like an awakening, you know, the Oliver Sachs Robert De Niro movie, people that had briefly come awake
Speaker 5 just
Speaker 5 when the Ukraine war started, they all just went back to where they had been before, listening to the propaganda, just taking the official line, accepting the official narrative.
Speaker 5 And so I suppose it was when I started being accused of being an apologist for Putin, I thought,
Speaker 5 I've already been
Speaker 5 an aluminium tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer, you know, granny killer. Now I'm a Putin apologist.
Speaker 5
Well, fair enough. I've seen the way this works.
And now that I've collected that badge, like a scout, I can put that one on my sleeve as well. Now I'm a Putin apologist.
Speaker 5 And I definitely don't, I really don't care now.
Speaker 5 Because
Speaker 5 if you're not being accused of being a
Speaker 5 whatever label, then you're not in the debate.
Speaker 4 I just reject the whole premise, which is that some group of people who really kind of hate you or have contempt for you at the very least can decide who your enemies are and then require you to agree with them.
Speaker 4
I've never had really strong feelings about Russia. I certainly wasn't mad at Russia.
Why would I be? They never did anything to me.
Speaker 4
But like Toria Newland in our State Department decides, well, they're our main enemy for whatever weird reason she has for deciding that. And now I have to sign on to that.
Like I'm an adult man.
Speaker 4 I can decide who I like and who I don't like. I don't, the whole idea of it.
Speaker 5
Well, get on board. Well, I don't know.
Maybe I don't want to.
Speaker 4 Like, what? Who would go along with that? How could any adult allow some faraway office holder or agency head or NGO director to decide what their opinions should be?
Speaker 4 What your opinions as a father of three, a married man with a job, like what you have to believe? Does that seem weird to you?
Speaker 5 It does seem, well, it does seem weird to me. I think people are frightened.
Speaker 4 Of what?
Speaker 5 Of
Speaker 5 well, you know, I've, as I was talking about that experience on the plane
Speaker 5 with my barefaced, literally,
Speaker 5 you know, defiance of that diktat, it's extremely uncomfortable
Speaker 5 to stick out, to put your head up, to be noticed.
Speaker 5 I suppose, you know, actually, in answer to your earlier question about what would be a unifying
Speaker 5 characteristic of people that said, no,
Speaker 5 I suppose
Speaker 5 I had already had
Speaker 5 a long time of being recognisable to some people because of the kind of television, a low-level familiarity, celebrity, whatever.
Speaker 5 Some people would recognise me from television documentaries that I had made. And so I had grown a kind of a harder shell about being looked at and, you know, whispered about, noticed.
Speaker 5 So sticking out in that way, I was already slightly familiar with.
Speaker 5 Whereas I think for people
Speaker 5 who had enjoyed complete anonymity and then it came to, say, the COVID thing and not wearing a face mask or asking questions about
Speaker 5 what their children should or shouldn't put in their bodies, it's very uncomfortable to stand up and be noticed, to be visible.
Speaker 5 And so because I had a little bit of, a little bit of, I'd grown a little bit of a callous, a little bit of hard skin about being noticed because I was a face from television, I suppose, made it that little bit less uncomfortable for me to then be spotlit about,
Speaker 5 for the first time in my life, controversial issues. I'd never been controversial in my life,
Speaker 5 but at least I was slightly, you know, slightly familiar with being noticed.
Speaker 4 When you started to get attacked as a bigot, a crazy person, white supremacist, whatever that is,
Speaker 4 how did the people you love react? Like, how did your wife react?
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 you know, Trudy's here. And
Speaker 5 Trudy's in this room. And we've been 100%
Speaker 5 together on all of it. She's never blinked, you know, from it all, from it all began.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 so I've always had that absolute
Speaker 5
for so many people with a split happened between partners over some of this. I can't imagine how awful that must be.
because it's hard enough. I can't imagine.
I can't imagine it.
Speaker 5 But we've always been 100% together on it. And even where in our wider families, you know, where people
Speaker 5 took the jabs and whatever, there's never been any, never been any trouble,
Speaker 5 differences of opinion and people thinking what was the right thing to do, what was the wrong thing to do. But no rancor, no,
Speaker 5 no, no shouting, nothing like that.
Speaker 5 And so I've always, I've mercifully, thankfully, I've never been more grateful in my life for,
Speaker 5 you know, know for Trudy because of the way that she responded
Speaker 4 I mean if you're you know if you're married to someone who's on television and who's famous for I don't know his views on the Vikings and everyone kind of likes you for that and all of a sudden he's being called you know a white supremacist that's a that's a big change
Speaker 5 yes it is but
Speaker 5 as I say she just never blinked you know she didn't blink well you are blessed in the game of chicken she just didn't
Speaker 5 blink.
Speaker 5
She knows me. She's known me since I was 19.
And
Speaker 5 when it comes to being called things like anti-Semitic or racist or misogynist or whatever, whatever, reputing apologists, she knows me. So she doesn't have to wonder, is he?
Speaker 5 You know, because she just, she just
Speaker 4 smiling, so I, you know, no, you're just really, really for so fortunate to have.
Speaker 5 Well, well, yes, yes,
Speaker 5 fortunate, but we also, I suppose, you know, you have to kind of think, well, we,
Speaker 5 we, we probably, you know, chose one another and and stayed for reasons and then you think well this as it turns out you know this being you know this being a testing situation this would be part of why I chose this person because yes one way or another I think I probably
Speaker 5 knew that she'd be like this in a situation like this you know and me for her you know we would just would just back each other up which does make you very invulnerable because this whole this whole process has absolutely in a way that's cliched you do get confronted with what matters
Speaker 5 you know and we've uh
Speaker 5 uh you know when it you know we've i mean we're just we're very we've been thrust into this from really a very recognizable and ordinary lifestyle you know we've got a mortgage and we've got you know and we depend on a on a regular income to keep the wheels on the wagon like like like like everybody else you know like the vast majority of people and and so we so we identify and have that commonality with, you know, that's why I think a lot of people write letters to me from all over the world and they stop me in the street to talk to me because
Speaker 5 I think they instinctively realize that I'm not
Speaker 5 a credentialed academic and I'm not an expert on this, that, or the other. I'm very much just a regular
Speaker 5 person
Speaker 5 with all of the same concerns that they've got. Kids at school,
Speaker 5 all of it
Speaker 5 that people were, you know,
Speaker 5 were able to identify with but when i say that i've been confronted with what really matters you think all that stuff about you know whether you have could afford a whatever i don't know you know a second home or or or luxury cars or all of that all that cliched stuff that that people are encouraged to think about you think god no what really what really matters is spending uh 24 hours a day with somebody that backs you up
Speaker 5 and my kids are the same you know the kids were they came through the whole they were under pressure at the time to take jabs.
Speaker 5 You know, you won't be able to go to the gym or you won't be able to go to, you know, you won't be able to have your social lives, you won't be able to travel.
Speaker 5 And they were rattled by that. They were, you know, younger then, you know, they were teenagers when all of that happened, very, you know, impressionable and vulnerable.
Speaker 5
But, but we got them through that. But they didn't.
You know, they didn't, they didn't, they, they ended up choosing not to take the, you know, take the jabs either.
Speaker 5 And I cannot put into words how much that means to me that they didn't get polluted with that
Speaker 5 product.
Speaker 5
That's everything to me. Never mind the fact that Trudy and I didn't.
The fact that it didn't go into them,
Speaker 5 there's no salary you could give me.
Speaker 5 There's no bonus you could bung me that
Speaker 5 would make any difference.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 it's all of that. And so it's been, it's hard to talk about it in many ways
Speaker 5 without sounding almost like you're patronising people. but
Speaker 5 the extent to which I've been reminded about what's important in life
Speaker 5 is
Speaker 5 worth all of it. You call me any name you want because I know who I am, and my family know who I am, and I can look at my kids and my wife in the eye, and she and mine, and think,
Speaker 5 no matter what, literally no matter what happens,
Speaker 5 we
Speaker 5 made the right calls.
Speaker 1
You may have noticed this is a great country with bad food. Our food supply is rotten.
It didn't used to be this way. Take chips, for example.
Speaker 1 You may recall a time when crushing a bag of chips didn't make you feel hungover, like you couldn't get out of bed the next day. And the change, of course, is chemicals.
Speaker 1 There's all kinds of crap they're putting in this food that should not be in your body. Seed oils, for example.
Speaker 1 Now, even one serving of your standard American chip brand can make you feel bloated, fat,
Speaker 1
totally passive and out of it. But there is a better way.
It's called masa chips. They're delicious.
I've got a whole garage full of them.
Speaker 1
They're healthy, they taste great, and they have three simple ingredients, corn, salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. No garbage, no seed oils.
What a relief.
Speaker 1 And you feel the difference when you eat them, as we often do. Snacking on masa chips is not like eating the garbage that you buy at convenience stores.
Speaker 1
You feel satisfied, light, energetic, not sluggish. Tens of thousands of happy people eat masa chips.
It's endorsed by people who understand health. It's well worth a try.

Speaker 4 It does seem like, obviously, you're from a different, slightly different culture
Speaker 4 than we're from here in the United States.
Speaker 4 It's a much smaller country. It's an island in the middle of a freezing sea.
Speaker 4 And there does seem to be a greater level of conformity in the UK than there is in the the United States.
Speaker 5 Do you think so? Is that how it strikes you?
Speaker 4
It does. I mean, it's a more obedient culture.
You know, you never had a Wild West. You didn't have gunfights or you haven't, you know, since Christianity showed up, et cetera.
But
Speaker 4 it does seem like, and I'm judging this from your media landscape, it seems like you and Russell Brand, maybe there's somebody else, George Galloway, there don't seem to be many dissenters.
Speaker 4 Describe the media in the UK right now.
Speaker 5
Oh, my goodness. I have to be careful with my flowery language.
Go crazy.
Speaker 5 Well, I'm appalled. I'm just simply appalled
Speaker 5 that we don't have anything that passes for in the same way that we don't have any representation in Parliament.
Speaker 5 We don't have any representation in the mainstream media. That was
Speaker 5 absolutely that was another aspect of what was so unbelievable and so discombobulating and stressful about all of this because in the early weeks and months of what was going on from 2019 2020 onwards there was that period of waiting for the the people the silverbacks of the media world to stand up and do what was required to be done which was ask some questions don't don't propagandize don't just give us the the the government line and the and the pharmaceutical line on all of this yeah stop lying
Speaker 5 challenge it who's so that peep that incredible period of wait and every single one of them failed the test
Speaker 5 All the mainstream channels, all the big titles, you know, the Telegraph, the Times, the Daily Mail, the works,
Speaker 5 they all swallowed it and pumped it back out again.
Speaker 5 So that the media is, we don't have them, well, we don't have a media worth its name and journalism,
Speaker 5
you know, Scotland, for example, had a proud, proud, proud history of journalism. Dundee, what truly studied to be a journalist.
D.C.
Speaker 5 Thompson, you know, an iconic publishing name in Scottish journalism. Duke Jam and journalism was the cry from Dundee.
Speaker 5 And a proud, proud history of being ready to hold to the fire the feet of those in authority. And
Speaker 5 overnight,
Speaker 5 either it had slipped away and we hadn't noticed, it was only exposed by COVID, or it or it slipped away as soon as the COVID debacle started. And then, and then
Speaker 5 realizing, you're part of that process of casting around, looking for, God, we can't be the only people that think this is bonkers and bollocks. There must be other people like this.
Speaker 5 And then that process of going online. And as you say, Russell Brand, God bless him,
Speaker 5 he was an established podcaster.
Speaker 5 He was already there doing other things. And when all this started, he was suddenly to the fore.
Speaker 4 All those things is an understatement. I mean, he was from a completely different
Speaker 4 incentive to get involved in that.
Speaker 5 But when it was when it was required, he was suddenly there, and we were watching, we were consuming Russell Brand as much of it as we could get, and we were watching you, and we were watching George Galloway on the mother of all talk shows.
Speaker 5 And, you know,
Speaker 5 these funny things, these
Speaker 5 constellations, you know, all the other stars went out in the night sky, and a few suddenly all these new constellations appeared. And you're looking at, you're looking, thank God, right?
Speaker 5 We can listen, who can we listen to today
Speaker 5 who may have many points of view that in other subjects and other concerns I might not agree with, but they're certainly asking some of the right questions about this.
Speaker 5 And, you know, so the new media
Speaker 5 stepped into the fray.
Speaker 5 And if anyone, and they are, if people were surprised to see me, a guy that used to make documentaries about Stonehenge and the white cliffs of Dover and you know, and waterfalls and Purple Mountain Majesty and all of that.
Speaker 5 If they were surprised to see me suddenly, you know, spotlit on live television,
Speaker 5 asking questions about and refusing to comply with this, that, and the next thing, if people were surprised to see me cast in that role, well, not half as surprised as I was, or Trudy was, you know, looking at me going, how did this happen to you?
Speaker 5 How have you ended up doing this? Well, that's a very good question. I really don't know.
Speaker 5 But it's like the bit in the bit in the airplane, you know, where the pilot's dead with food poisoning and the co-pilot's dead and all the aircraft. And some,
Speaker 5 you know, schmuck has to come from the back of of the plane and sit but because nobody else is going to do it. You know, see
Speaker 5 a lot of people were suddenly cast into that unlikely into that unlikely role and have taken the dog's abuse for having done so.
Speaker 5 And their only crime has been to say,
Speaker 5 hang on,
Speaker 5 I've got a question.
Speaker 5 Before we all leap into the abyss of all of this totalitarian regime, I I'd I'd quite like to ask a couple of questions just before we all go.
Speaker 5 And some of the hardest criticism has come from people that you would have thought ostensibly would have been on your side.
Speaker 4 I mean, you live in a place where there are, I really don't think the American might, we often complain about our media, which is Stalinist, completely Stalinist. They serve the people in power.
Speaker 4 They'll tell any lie. It doesn't matter to them at all.
Speaker 4 But I think it's much worse in the UK. That's just my observation.
Speaker 5 I mean, I did watch some of your guys, you know, eating hamburgers and saying you get a free one of these if you get your jab.
Speaker 5 Oh, it was totalitarian.
Speaker 5 And dancing alongside you know you know people dressed up as hypodermic needles and I mean I remember all of that but so so yes it's it's um but it doesn't seem like any dissent is allowed in your country for example tell us about the Scottish hate speech law
Speaker 5 oh well that I would say that's part and parcel of something that seems to be happening around the world in a certain kind of Western country, which is to say either small countries with small populations or quite large land masses but small populations.
Speaker 5 So, you know, Canada, Australia, but places like New Zealand, the Anglosphere, the English-speaking world.
Speaker 5 But then something equally sinister also happened in Israel, you know, where Netanyahu said,
Speaker 5 make my people the petri dish of the world.
Speaker 5 Experiment on these here lab rats.
Speaker 5 So again, a small population with with without with a with an with an authoritarian leader that just offhand just decided to do what he wanted. But that that was true of all of them.
Speaker 5 So, and yes, but Britain, but then Scotland obviously has a devolved
Speaker 5 administration based in Edinburgh,
Speaker 5 empowered to take a certain amount of decisions separate from Westminster in London. And we've been under the thrall of
Speaker 5 an administration in Edinburgh led by the Scottish National Party for what seems like a thousand years. It's been like an SNP Reich.
Speaker 4 It doesn't seem very Scottish to me at all.
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 I first put my head above the parapet and got into trouble as a contrarian all the way back in 2014, actually, because that was the time of the referendum on whether or not Scotland would remain part of the United Kingdom or would strike out
Speaker 5 as a separate entity. And
Speaker 5 God forgive me, I had kind of been keeping out of it.
Speaker 5 I was just, I had my opinions, but I was keeping out of it Relatively late in the day, coming up to the vote, I think it was the Telegraph, but one of the big broadsheet newspapers asked me for, what do you think?
Speaker 5 Would you write us, you know, a thousand words about what you think? And I wrote that, well, to cut a long story short, that I preferred to stay part of the United Kingdom.
Speaker 5 Cue the opprobrium from the nationalists, those who...
Speaker 5 And because of it, I had made television like the history of Scotland and I had been seen as a certain kind of Scottish TV presenter.
Speaker 5 I think a lot of people made the broad assumption that I was probably nationalist in my politics which I never have been
Speaker 5 and you know never will be but but but none so I got I got into I got into trouble then and so I've been on the I've been under attack from the SNP and its little wizards ever since then.
Speaker 5 So I have it,
Speaker 5 it's important probably in the context of this conversation to make plain that it actually wasn't COVID that I first got into trouble. it was the independence referendum.
Speaker 5 And so Scotland is run by
Speaker 5 low-caliber
Speaker 5 people,
Speaker 5 low-caliber cacistocracy, you know, government by the worst of people.
Speaker 4 Yes.
Speaker 5 And, you know, the SNP started, you know, started out famously. Well, not it.
Speaker 5 didn't start out but at the time of the referendum it was led by alex salmon who at least was a you know he was an able sure-footed politician and a good orator.
Speaker 5 You know, so
Speaker 5 he had some game, but subsequently it's been Nicola Sturgeon, and it was Nicola, then more recently Hamza Yousuf, and now he's
Speaker 5 fallen over his own feet and he's been replaced by another one, another, you know, another non-entity. But it was Nicola Sturgeon through the COVID debacle.
Speaker 5 And they just seemed to,
Speaker 5 they reveled in, she revelled in the power.
Speaker 5 She revelled in, you know, appearing every day to count death tolls and insist on the continuation of lockdown and cutting the six inches off the bottoms of doors and in school classrooms to let air circulate and insane is she a pretty smart happy well-balanced person uh i would say no no and no
Speaker 5 uh
Speaker 5 no totally but anyway anyway she's gone but um but so you have in the snp in scotland people who are drunk with the idea of power.
Speaker 5 You know, they really, I mean, the very idea that
Speaker 5 a majority would have put that bunch actually in control of an independent country makes my blood run cold because it was a close-run thing for a while. But it's gone now.
Speaker 5 The threat's gone for a generation, if not forever.
Speaker 5 But so
Speaker 5 they're inept, they're cacistocratic,
Speaker 5 and when it came to the the hate crime legislation,
Speaker 5 they just seem to go for one offensive,
Speaker 5 irritating policy after another.
Speaker 5 They attempted a named persons
Speaker 5 bill in recent history where they were trying to insinuate between every child and their parents a named person.
Speaker 5 Now, that could be a teacher, it could be any figure.
Speaker 5 that person would have been encouraged and the child would have been encouraged to establish a relationship with that named person.
Speaker 5 If there are things you don't want to talk to mum and dad about,
Speaker 5 you could talk to this named person.
Speaker 5
And your parents would never need to know that those conversations had taken place. This was the named persons bill.
It was eventually knocked back at the supervisor.
Speaker 4 But this is an attempt to destroy the family.
Speaker 5 Yeah, well, that would certainly be, that was my interpretation of it.
Speaker 4 And what's the other interpretation?
Speaker 5 Well, it was supposed to be...
Speaker 4 The government has more authority in your home.
Speaker 5 It's the same reason for clamping down on the internet.
Speaker 5
It's for the safety of children. They always say this.
It's about protecting children from this, that, and the other. And of course, we know it's got nothing to do with that.
Speaker 5 It's just about taking control of the internet. So the Named Persons Act was, yes, but
Speaker 5 in line with that idea of if you want to lead a popular movement, you have to separate the children from their parents.
Speaker 5 You've got to put pressure on the family until the family fractures.
Speaker 5 It took the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, to finally turn back and stop the Named Persons bill. But it'll be in someone's drawer somewhere.
Speaker 5 Still under consideration. The hate crime legislation was just, so it's important you know, not to come in on the SNP in the Third Act, so to speak.
Speaker 5 They've got a long history of this kind of behavior.
Speaker 5 And when it came to the, you know, the hate crime legislation, you know, that was a pet project of Hamza Youssef, who was the sometime justice minister.
Speaker 5 He always failed in every post, but fell upwards.
Speaker 5 You know, so he was, you know, he was justice and failed and got promoted up to health and failed and was promoted up to whatever, you know, one inappropriate appointment after another.
Speaker 5 And the hate crime legislation was his, was very much something that he championed.
Speaker 4 And what was it?
Speaker 5 It was, well, you see a manifestation of it. In Canada, Trudeau has brought in similar,
Speaker 5
has brought in similar legislation. I don't know if it's called the hate crime.
It's almost the same name.
Speaker 5 But you see it all over. The same thing is happening in Australia.
Speaker 5 The attempt by these would-be, these tinpot dictatorial
Speaker 5 politicians to have control of what people say and what people think. Hamza used to have wanted to criminalise what people were saying in the privacy of their own homes.
Speaker 5 So the idea was that if mum and dad were having a conversation in front of the television one evening and dad said something,
Speaker 5 if the child inadvertently repeated it in school the next day, let's say, my dad said so-and-so,
Speaker 5 the police could come to the house hypothetically and say to the father,
Speaker 5 What was that you were saying in this house last night? We've got, you know, your child's, you know, that was the level of of it.
Speaker 4 So is Ham's, I mean, that's totally North Korean. I don't even think that happens in North Korea, actually.
Speaker 5 He's gone now.
Speaker 4 He's, he's, but is he considered, I mean, he should be expelled from your country for doing that, in my opinion. But what is he considered a villain? I mean, how can he.
Speaker 5
That's so evil. Yes, yes, you would, you would think that any rational person would respond to that kind of notion in the same way.
But look at the way it's happening all over.
Speaker 5 It's not just happening in Scotland. It's happening all over.
Speaker 5 It's part of a pattern of behavior of a certain kind of controlled leader in one Western country after another, who are demonstrably working from the same script.
Speaker 5 It's no coincidence that all of these Western
Speaker 5 regimes in these countries are taking similar steps at the same time.
Speaker 5 They're not acting independently of one another. They're not all having these dreadful ideas independently at the same time.
Speaker 5 This stuff is being, it's part of the same pattern that we saw during lockdown, where suddenly it was everyone was saying build back better, everyone was saying narrow window of opportunity, you know, everyone was saying safe and effective.
Speaker 5 Clearly centralized scriptures.
Speaker 4 It was a pandemic of the unvaccinated, I think we can agree.
Speaker 5 Yes, absolutely. That was a favorite.
Speaker 4 So, but what is that? What are we looking at? Who's coming up with these ideas, these talking points? What's the point of it all? Like, I don't want to be a conspiracy nut,
Speaker 5 but the level of coordination suggests that there is you know some sort of body atop all of this controlling everything i mean what else does it feel it feels as though i i think it's getting harder and harder to overlook what seems like the certainty that we're on the cusp of change yeah
Speaker 5 a paradigm change
Speaker 5 i would say that we're being that we're being herded towards feudalism
Speaker 5 you know most people for for most of 5,000 years of human history, most people pretty much lived
Speaker 5 in serfdom.
Speaker 5 In a feudal state.
Speaker 5 You can describe it any way you like, but it's a narrow, very, very small group at the top with everything, with all the castles, ownership of everything, and everyone else
Speaker 5 is so far beneath them as to be at insect level.
Speaker 5 and treated accordingly. You know, that is what we're going back to.
Speaker 4 Really up until the 19th century.
Speaker 5 It was the way of it for everyone, everywhere.
Speaker 5 The kind of way of life that has been possible for some of us, a relative handful in the scheme of things, a blinking of an eye in the great story of human civilization, a tiny, tiny lucky group for a couple of hundred years in the West were able to live lives of unbelievable liberty and opportunity and equality and aspiration and you know if you if you wanted to you could you know you know get whatever you were capable of achieving for yourself yes and enough generations have taken that for granted that now
Speaker 5 it's it has fallen and people think that you know food in the supermarkets lights on in the dark you know police on the street that actually care about the people rather than being in enforcers for the establishment they think that there's been a misconception that somehow is just in the natural order of things that society works like that.
Speaker 5 And just the merest glance at the rest of the world at the moment, nevertheless, never mind 5,000 years of history, will show that the possibility of living the kind of lives that some of us have been able to live for a very brief period of time is vanishingly, it's impossibly unlikely what we've had.
Speaker 5 But too many people have finally have been taking it for granted one after another that now that now
Speaker 5 those who would return us to feudalism
Speaker 5 have saw the opportunity and have been working towards it.
Speaker 5 And populations all over the West, taking it for granted, being tolerant, being nice, keeping their heads down in return for safety and convenience,
Speaker 5 have laid themselves open.
Speaker 5 They're not in a fit state to defend themselves against a well-organized, well-motivated small group that wants to return the whole thing to some sort of neo-feudalism.
Speaker 5 But I mean, that's not to say it's too late. You know,
Speaker 5
I don't want to be completely negative here, that I do think it's still possible. I think enough people have realized, are realizing all the time.
And I would say, I think...
Speaker 4 Wait, may I assess one thing? So are you suggesting, it sounds like you are, and you probably are right, but that some kind of feudalism is the natural state of man.
Speaker 4 Radically hierarchical societies are just natural.
Speaker 5
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
People enslaved. You know, slavery
Speaker 5
is a natural state. Of course.
It just is.
Speaker 5 You know, it's been a reality for so many, for such a large part of everyone who's ever lived or died
Speaker 5 through history. But I think, you know, when
Speaker 5 in 2016, you know, when we had Trump elected here
Speaker 5 and Britain voted Brexit
Speaker 5 Subsequent to that, we got COVID and goodness knows what all.
Speaker 5 Trudy said,
Speaker 5 perhaps she wasn't alone, but she was the person that I heard say it. She said
Speaker 5
those two things were not supposed to happen. They were not in the script.
Somebody took their eye off the ball and allowed a figure like Donald Trump to be elected in America. That's right.
Speaker 5 And for the population of Britain, by a narrow margin, but nonetheless, by a majority, to leave the European Union. And said, everything we've had since has been a sustained punishment beating
Speaker 5 to put those populations back in their box. So everything that's happened, including the evaporation of your southern border,
Speaker 5 all of that that's happened has been a panicky response by
Speaker 5
a narrow group. that saw two things happening off script that were of great significance because it was democratic.
You know,
Speaker 5 those were popular votes.
Speaker 5 And now populism is being stamped on all over the, all over the world.
Speaker 5 The tractors, the truckers' revolt, the farmers' protests all across Europe, all of these things are being mischaracterized by the authorities as far-right, as extremist, as, you know,
Speaker 5 all of the same labels. And in both cases, the voters
Speaker 4 didn't get what they voted for. I mean, Trump was not able to govern
Speaker 4 very effectively. couldn't build the wall that he promised,
Speaker 4
was investigated and spied on from, you know, the very first day. And I don't think you guys got Brexit.
We voted for Brexit, right?
Speaker 5 Absolutely 52%,
Speaker 5 I think it was 52, yeah, 52 to 48% in favor of leaving the European Union. And from the moment the ink dried on that decision,
Speaker 5 all of the powers that be in the establishment, in the civil service,
Speaker 5 across the political parties, moved heaven and earth to thwart
Speaker 5 that decision. And so it's been Brexit in name only, Brino,
Speaker 5 they've called it, because it's now worse. I would say that the situation for those people that aspired to Brexit, they've got less now than they had
Speaker 5 before the vote happened, because they've been so comprehensively punished. And Brexit has been so eviscerated, the very concept of it has been so hollowed out.
Speaker 5 that the people that wanted it have got less than nothing from it because it was because it was it was populist And notice also that in the last four or five years, populist has become a pejorative.
Speaker 1 Where do you keep your most valuable possessions? Not your necktie or a pair of socks, but things you wouldn't want to replace or maybe couldn't.
Speaker 1 Heirlooms from your parents, your birth certificate, your firearms, your grandfather's shotgun. Where do you store those? Under the bed? The back of a closet?
Speaker 1
That's unwise and maybe unsafe. Liberty Safe is the place to store them.
I would know I have a colonial safe from Liberty Safe. It's in my garage.
It's the best. I keep everything in there.

Speaker 4 How can people use the word democracy to describe your country?
Speaker 5
Well, we don't. That's why I have these fundamental problems about we certainly don't have democracy.
I wonder when democracy went away.
Speaker 5 I wonder for how long it's been standing.
Speaker 4 What's your guess?
Speaker 5 I really,
Speaker 5 gosh, I mean, in my most conspiratorial moments, I think something began to happen all across the West
Speaker 5 after the Second World War.
Speaker 5 Clearly.
Speaker 5 Really, from the middle, from the mid during the war and after the war, I think the moves go.
Speaker 5 I don't know if it started then, but I think there was a gear shift. Have you been to Tokyo? Have you been to Japan?
Speaker 5 I have filmed in Tokyo.
Speaker 4 So then you sort of wonder when you go to Japan, if you go from London to Tokyo,
Speaker 4
there's no evidence that one side, that the side that won actually won. and the side that lost actually lost.
Like, if you didn't know the history, you would think, well, obviously Japan won the war.
Speaker 5 Look at it.
Speaker 4 Obviously England lost it.
Speaker 5
Look at England. Yes.
What is that? Yes. I mean there are all sorts of things that are that are confusing.
I'm not a historian. I love history.
I'm fascinated by history.
Speaker 5 My shelves are full of history books. But
Speaker 4 so I how many books have you written?
Speaker 5 Well written? Oh
Speaker 5 12 or 13?
Speaker 5
I think it's fair to call you a historian. Well, but I'm not an academic.
I don't
Speaker 5 nor do I want to be. I never really have had that.
Speaker 5
It's not in my nature. I'm not really.
Anyway,
Speaker 5 so it means that I'm prepared. I'm perfectly happy to be at home to
Speaker 5 unorthodox ideas about history because I don't have any academic position. I don't have a professorship to defend.
Speaker 4 Maybe that's why you can see the world clearly.
Speaker 5
Well, I sometimes wonder if I have a unique... a USP, you know, a unique selling point.
I think it may be that
Speaker 5 the things that I have said over the last few years,
Speaker 5 everyone knows they're true.
Speaker 5 It's just that for whatever reason, I've said them and
Speaker 5 I've had the opportunity and the platform from which to say them.
Speaker 5 And because I am just a regular person saying what every other regular person knows is true, that's my,
Speaker 5 but
Speaker 5 we've wandered off.
Speaker 5 I think that's a great, that's you're qualified enough.
Speaker 4 You're not an Oxford Don.
Speaker 2 But you've been right about a lot of things.
Speaker 5 I've got basic questions about the Second World War. Okay, well, what are they?
Speaker 4 Like, clearly, something important changed in the West in 1945. What was that?
Speaker 5 What's very interesting to me is that, you know,
Speaker 5 Hitler and Stalin were together at the beginning
Speaker 5
of it. And when Poland was invaded, Britain said, we will do whatever it takes to restore.
freedom and democracy to the people from whom it's been denied, stolen. And then what happened?
Speaker 5 Keal Oliver.
Speaker 5 And then, you know,
Speaker 5 you've only got to read any coverage of the
Speaker 5 Second World War to know that at the end of the Second World War, Poland was left swallowed whole by...
Speaker 4 Well, they handed it to Stalin.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 the stated objective... What is that? The stated objective of Britain declaring war
Speaker 5 at the time was, well, you didn't do it.
Speaker 5 You didn't do that.
Speaker 5 You didn't even try.
Speaker 4 And in our country, it's illegal to criticize Winston Churchill. He's the greatest hero in
Speaker 5 world history. And when you look at the murkiness that happened at Yalta, you know,
Speaker 5 between Roosevelt and Stalin and Churchill, and the fact that
Speaker 5 agreements were arrived at somehow where
Speaker 5 many people who wanted
Speaker 5 whatever you would call West, the West, they wanted to be the West, they were just allowed to be swallowed whole by the communist bloc.
Speaker 4
Yeah, to the most violent totalitarian in history. So they handed these countries.
They went to war to protect the sovereignty of these countries that they then handed.
Speaker 5 And people were being chased back
Speaker 5 across specified lines back into that country.
Speaker 4 So what is that? Clearly, clearly.
Speaker 5 There's lying here.
Speaker 4 So what's the truth?
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 we started there because we were speculating about when
Speaker 5 it all started to go wrong.
Speaker 5 When the slide towards
Speaker 5 neo anything that ends in ism is the same.
Speaker 5 You know, whether it's fascism or communism or any of these things end up with piles of corpses.
Speaker 5 You can't get a cigarette paper between these between any of these ideologies. So it's important not to be distracted by whether or not it's national socialism or communism or whatever.
Speaker 5 They're all the same. They're good for a handful of people and they're catastrophic for everybody else.
Speaker 5 And so clearly, clearly something shifted up a gear in the West
Speaker 5 in the middle of the
Speaker 5 in the during the Second World War and after
Speaker 5 and has been moving faster and faster ever since.
Speaker 5 But I think
Speaker 5 there's been an extraordinary gamble taken now
Speaker 5 because
Speaker 5 even people who are in a state of semi-slumber like myself were aware of notions like a social contract,
Speaker 5 you know, that
Speaker 5 we
Speaker 5 as citizens
Speaker 5 would be represented, you know, no taxation without representation, you know,
Speaker 5 we would have our views represented, we would have our liberty defended,
Speaker 5 we would be safe in peaceful countries, and in return for that we would pay tax and we would submit to certain otherwise you know onerous restrictions on you can't do anything, you've got to agree to be policed by consent and so on and so on.
Speaker 5
And that's okay. So there's now a social contract.
There's a quid pro quo there for people. There's a reason for people to
Speaker 5 comply because there's something in it for them. Liberty, aspiration, hope, all of that being protected by legislation and a constitution and all of that.
Speaker 5 The gamble that's been taken now is that all of that is supposed to is being taken away.
Speaker 5 Everything that the people all of the all of the inducements to be law-abiding peaceful citizens is being taken away for and and and and what do I get in return nothing you're going to get a digital id you're going to get central bank digital currencies you're going to live in 15-minute cities you know you're going to have your we'll tell you what to eat your your currency will be programmable so we'll have complete moment to moment in real-time control of everything you do everything you want to do
Speaker 5 Now, that's a heck of a gamble
Speaker 5 for a very narrow group of people to take with billions of people because there's nothing in it for the people.
Speaker 5 There's nothing in it for them. And
Speaker 5 I think
Speaker 5 they have fumbled the ball. I think that's where there's hope because
Speaker 5 not 50%, not 51% of the people have realized that and would do anything about it, but history shows that
Speaker 5 it never requires, it only takes 5% or 10% of people to cotton on and do something about it and make the difference.
Speaker 5 And I think that in the final moves towards this kind of neo-feudalism, they have exposed themselves.
Speaker 5 They've gone galloping towards the finishing line too early, in the wrong way, and too many people have seen it. And I think in there somewhere is hope, and it's probably enough hope.
Speaker 4 I wonder, though, I mean, it does seem two things.
Speaker 4 It seems like they're pushing the population, not just of your country or mine, but really of most Western countries, right to the point of revolution.
Speaker 4 Like, how about we give you nothing and you shut up and take it?
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 4 And erase all hope for a future for your children or grandchildren, even having children or grandchildren.
Speaker 5 It's quite a gamble to take.
Speaker 4 But the gamble is that
Speaker 4 the technology is evolving so quickly that it'll allow them to harness, you know, the surveillance state and various tools of violence that are so overwhelming that there's nothing the population can do anything, could do about it.
Speaker 4 You know, drones and AI are going to be enough to sort of force people to accept this. That's how I read it.
Speaker 5
It's possible. Yes, of course it's possible.
But I think it's incumbent upon us to be
Speaker 5 optimistic that that's not what happens. You know, I think there's an absolute, there's an absolute obligation.
Speaker 5 It's beyond a right.
Speaker 5
it's it's an absolute obligation to be positive. I struggle with it.
I mean,
Speaker 5 I have to be yanked back onto the path of righteousness by Trudy all the time because she is by inclination more positive than I am.
Speaker 5 But nonetheless, you know,
Speaker 5 I lean to the dark side all the time. Well, Scots have dark souls, don't they? Yes,
Speaker 5 it's never difficult to tell the difference between a Scotsman and a ray of sunshine,
Speaker 5 as the saying goes.
Speaker 5 But you have to,
Speaker 5 When we spoke earlier about
Speaker 5 being brought to terms with being made to confront what really matters,
Speaker 5 and it is difficult to talk about it in many ways,
Speaker 5 it almost makes a person blush because of the things that you find yourself having to say. But
Speaker 5 the Constitution of the United States, you know, the First Amendment,
Speaker 5 at times like this, that these things are suddenly, a light comes on inside them and suddenly everyone sees them as though for the first time
Speaker 5 it's only because they're being threatened that people see them you know the and the very you know that the language you know the inalienable right
Speaker 5 is so important
Speaker 5 you know that you know this you get this at school but you know that the inalienable is is to say that your freedom is not you're born with it it's there it's from God It certainly isn't given to you by any person, and it can't be taken from you by any person.
Speaker 5 But the third and most important bit about inalienable, I only really began to contemplate in recent years, is that even if you want to surrender your freedom, you can't.
Speaker 5 Because it's inalienable. You are lumbered with it.
Speaker 5
You're stuck with it. It's like your leg.
You can't.
Speaker 5
It's part of you, your freedom. And it's when it's challenged in this way, and it's under freedom, And people talk about freedoms as though it's plural.
It's only freedom, it's a single thing.
Speaker 5 And because it's inalienable, it's at the moment when it's being threatened that people, none of us has any, we have an obligation to defend it.
Speaker 5 You don't get the choice. If someone offers you slavery, will you be my slave? You can't.
Speaker 5
Because it's your inalienable right to be free. You can't surrender to slavery.
It's not your thing to give away.
Speaker 5
And that's it. So that's why some of this, I suppose, had to happen.
People need to see the freedom of speech being taken away by hate crime legislation, hate speech legislation or whatever.
Speaker 5 They need these things to happen
Speaker 5 before you look again at what freedom is, what democracy might be, what it is to have inalienable rights.
Speaker 5 You know, and
Speaker 5 we don't have the option to give these things up,
Speaker 5 even if we're broken and we want to.
Speaker 5 And these are, I think these are profound verities.
Speaker 4 What's the tipping point? What's the point at which you won't have optimism? What's the point at which...
Speaker 5
Never, you can't. Good, well, good.
Well, you can't, because that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 Because
Speaker 5 you're not allowed.
Speaker 5 You're not entitled. to give up because it's in the nature of inalienable rights that you even if unto death
Speaker 5 you know they can you know well you know you may take our lives but you'll never take our freedom you know the oft-quoted line from brave heart i mean that is just it so there's there's nothing to be pessimistic about essentially because the option to give up is not there
Speaker 5 you don't get to give it up do you think that totalitarians will win honestly no no they won't because because i believe i also think a lot nowadays about natural law
Speaker 5 you know i've read i read about common law, which has become an obsession,
Speaker 5 and I read about natural law. And whether you're religious or not,
Speaker 5 let's say you just, if you accept an intelligent universe,
Speaker 5 and then natural law says that the intelligent universe does want the best for you, unlike our regimes and our establishments and our powers that be. The universe is there
Speaker 5 for you to be the best expression of yourself and consciousness that there can be. And
Speaker 5 all of that can be subverted by evil.
Speaker 5 A bit like if you can hold a ball under the surface of water for as long as you've got the strength to do it, but the ball wants to be somewhere else because
Speaker 5 that's in the natural order of things.
Speaker 5 And eventually the totalitarians will run out of the strength to subvert
Speaker 5 the way that things are supposed to be.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 it's difficult to put a timeline on these things. You know, I wouldn't say that we're going to see the end of it in our lifetimes, you and me.
Speaker 5 And it might be for our children to see the end of it. But it will end
Speaker 5 because
Speaker 5 the natural law
Speaker 5 will
Speaker 5 reassert itself. I didn't, I didn't, another of the things that I was sort of sleepy about and in a state of slumber about, I didn't really think about
Speaker 5 faith.
Speaker 5 I've always been a person of faith quietly. I don't go to church, but I believe in a transcendent,
Speaker 5 intelligent
Speaker 5 entity.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 I think that was brought home to me and the light came on in it for me during this time as well because so many people wrote to me. Thousands of people wrote to me from all over the world.
Speaker 5 This game started where people,
Speaker 5 one woman wrote a letter to me and addressed it to Neil Oliver
Speaker 5
near Sterling Castle, Sterling, Scotland. And the letter came to me and I thought, oh that's impressive.
The postman managed to get that to me. And I put a picture of it on social media
Speaker 5
without thinking. And it opened floodgates.
And now I've had thousands of letters like these. And so people were writing to me without knowing my address.
Speaker 5 And the vast majority of the letters were about this is a fight between good and evil.
Speaker 5 This is a fight between right and wrong. This is about light and dark.
Speaker 5 It was as fundamental as that
Speaker 5 for most of those people that were writing to me. And perversely,
Speaker 5 in an upside-down way,
Speaker 5 it was becoming aware of evil in the world around me that made me think,
Speaker 5 what's the opposite of evil?
Speaker 5
There must be good. There must be good because I see the evil.
And every you know, every
Speaker 5 force has its equal and opposite.
Speaker 5 So there must be good. There must be God.
Speaker 5
There must be, because I've seen the alternative. I've seen the adversary.
Because
Speaker 5 it's stalking the land at the moment. The badness is visible.
Speaker 5
And that was, you know, that's part of the sort of profound realignment that I've been going through. Or it really is just an awakening.
I mean, that's a hackneyed term now, about being awakened.
Speaker 4 But you see it happening to others around you?
Speaker 5 Yes, yes, absolutely. More and more, more and more
Speaker 5 are saying it and it doesn't you know
Speaker 5 differences are never made by the majority not really
Speaker 5 it's that's not how it works you know that this the signal the crucial thing is invariably done by the one or just a few people who are right
Speaker 5 you know when you know when um
Speaker 5 you know how when you when you sometimes you'll be sitting at a dinner table with
Speaker 5 friends and family and whatever and you say something and the and the whole place just breaks up. A great, perfect line you just say something and everyone laughs
Speaker 5 and if you think often most often you didn't you didn't even think of the line you didn't compose it it's just there and you said it
Speaker 5 and everyone laughs because what you said in it's not just funny it's also true right
Speaker 5 you people can instantly
Speaker 5 true runs through people you know like lightning through a lightning conductor it just oh it runs through you and you feel it
Speaker 5 and that I think that's what's happened for a lot of people a lot of people are able to identify very readily with with what's wrong here which is simply an inversion of natural law that that evil is is trying to assert itself
Speaker 5 freedom is being taken from people from whom it cannot be taken but with but with the ending of those people themselves These fundamentals are happening and I do genuinely hand on heart think enough people think that.
Speaker 5 Don't just think it they know it because it's true it's it's true and people feel it
Speaker 4 it's a I think you're what you're saying is absolutely right true things are that they resonate there's like a tuning fork inside you that starts to hum when you hear something that you know to be true it almost doesn't need to be explained the second you hear it you know it but I think there's a step from that experience to using the word God in public in the in the secular West.
Speaker 4 Are you hearing that more?
Speaker 5
Yeah, definitely. I am.
Definitely. And I feel good about it.
And
Speaker 5 I think part of why I feel good about it is because it's coming at me in various shades. You know,
Speaker 5 I'm being,
Speaker 5 you know, people of Christian and
Speaker 5 Islamic faith are talking to me. And
Speaker 5 inter alia,
Speaker 5 they mention, they talk about everything, but they talk about faith and good and evil.
Speaker 5 And I hear within the within the Christian community, I I hear from Catholic and Protestant and and they're all saying the same thing because the
Speaker 5 the only important bits of any of those messages are the same anyway
Speaker 5 and they're all they're all
Speaker 5 again it's the truth so it it's it's it's striking it's chiming with me it's I can you know I can feel it because it's evidently true And so
Speaker 5 I don't have any qualm about invoking God
Speaker 5 because, you know, I'm pretty sure I've caught sight of the devil.
Speaker 5 It's so interesting.
Speaker 4 Like everything, not everything, but a lot of things that I thought 20 years ago were completely ridiculous. Now I was utterly wrong.
Speaker 4
And one of them, we were told for so long that Muslims are your enemy. And I want to say I'm not a Muslim and I'm completely opposed to mass migration, period.
I don't care of anybody.
Speaker 4 I'm just against it.
Speaker 5 But
Speaker 4 it hasn't turned out that way. And I have to say, you, Galloway, of course, Russell Brand, it feels like the people who hate you the most in the UK are educated white liberals.
Speaker 4 And it feels like a lot of Muslim immigrants are open to what you're saying and agree with you. That's my impression as a foreigner.
Speaker 5 Do you feel that?
Speaker 5 Yes, they are because, you know, I think it's often, it's much more important just to see a person first.
Speaker 5 Of course that's, I know you know that, but that's, that's the thing. And so I don't, I don't always think about this information is coming at me from a Christian or from a Muslim.
Speaker 4 Well, in our country, I mean, it's a different experience, but after 9-11, and I'm not, again, I'm not Muslim, I'm not going to become Muslim. I don't agree with Islam.
Speaker 4 But we were told again and again, and everybody in the world I lived in seemed to agree with it, that Muslims is Islam, that's our enemy. I don't know if you had that experience in the UK.
Speaker 4 We definitely had that here.
Speaker 4 And it's just interesting.
Speaker 5
But again, that's all part of that divide and conquer. You're absolutely right.
I just did not perceive that at the time.
Speaker 5
I mean, stupid. Well, you've made me think about it.
You know, you spent years in Washington, D.C.
Speaker 4 Only 35, not a big deal.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 I hold my hand up and say I absolutely grew up with absolute certainty that America were the good guys. I watched the West Wing,
Speaker 5 almost all of it, and I thought that, you know, as long as there's Democrats in the West Wing,
Speaker 5 you know,
Speaker 5
the white-hatted cowboys are out there making sure everything's going to be all right. Good God, God help me.
You know, that I went, I went, oh, Jed Bartlett, whoa, fantastic. And
Speaker 5 now I think, oh, how,
Speaker 5 why did I ever, why did I ever think that?
Speaker 5 Now you were in the belly of the beast. What is it?
Speaker 5 What is it with these people? You know, these people that, you know, I'm not going to, why name any names?
Speaker 5 You know, these people that have gone in skinny and come out fat with money, with lobbying and
Speaker 5 goodness and insider trading and all of the rest of it. So they've got more money than Croesus and they're still there in their dotage,
Speaker 5 still at it. What drives it? What makes these children actually missing schools get out of their beds?
Speaker 4 I didn't grow up worrying about money and just being as honest as I can be. So I never really thought of money as a huge motivator in people's behavior because it never was for me.
Speaker 5 What's motivating these people?
Speaker 4
Well, clearly money is part of it. I was just late to that understanding.
You know, we all have blind spots and failures and that was definitely one of mine.
Speaker 4 I just didn't, I didn't see how corrupt it was because I couldn't imagine, like, I would never say something I, I don't believe for money. I just would never do that.
Speaker 4 It would never even occur to me to do that. So
Speaker 4 I didn't grow up like that. So the idea that other people were saying things they knew to be untrue for money, that like I never, I was shocked.
Speaker 4
It took me decades to figure out that that was going on. And you would hear people say, oh, it's all about the money.
And I'd be like, that's bullshit.
Speaker 4
It's not, you know, we just have different views, different ideologies, different worldviews. No, a lot of it was just about the money.
And I just did not perceive that.
Speaker 5 How much money can a, can a multi-multi-millionaire have? Well, I agree.
Speaker 4
I mean, I've never been that. Well, that is absolutely right.
First of all, you know, getting out of debt, I do think is a massive blessing.
Speaker 4
And if you can get out of debt, it just means you're not controlled. And there is a inherent freedom in that.
And debt is slavery. We love debt in the United States.
Speaker 4
We have a debt-based society, you know, lending money and interest. That's like the main thing that we do in the United States.
I think it's disgusting. I've I've always thought that.
Speaker 4 So if you can get out of that, it's clearly liberation. But beyond that, like, is it going to make you happy? No.
Speaker 4 I mean, I've just lived around rich people my whole life, so I know that that does not make you happy.
Speaker 5 So if we accept, but if we accept that money is part of it, but it must be more than that. So
Speaker 5 what is the, what is the, because,
Speaker 5 you know, you, one does end up
Speaker 5 with fewer and fewer options when it comes to explaining what's going on. And it just feels like it, you know, it does begin to feel as if it's in the service of some kind of darkness.
Speaker 5 That's what it feels like. Well, I mean, it is.
Speaker 4
It is in this, in the service of darkness. There's no kind of rational explanation for transgenderism.
You know, that's just you're sterilizing kids. There's no upside that could ever justify that.
Speaker 4 You're doing it for killing people, as
Speaker 4
the U.S. government has.
I hate to say it as a patriotic American, but it's been a force for killing for a long time. What is that?
Speaker 4
And again, there's only a spiritual answer, I think, to that question. I don't see a rational one for sure.
But I also think it's recognizable in a temporal framework as hubris.
Speaker 4 It's the belief that you are God, that you have greater powers than any man actually possesses, greater foresight, greater wisdom, greater power.
Speaker 4
And that is like the oldest trap there is. Like that is the story of history is people, you know, convincing themselves that they're more than human.
And
Speaker 4 that's how you destroy yourself and the society that you lead for sure.
Speaker 5 And so what happens?
Speaker 5 Has the American Republic fallen?
Speaker 4 And is it not? Well, the Republic is long gone.
Speaker 4 I mean, the second you allow an intel agency to murder your democratically elected president, as we did 62 years ago, and then sort of ignore that it happened and be like, I don't think that's really what happened.
Speaker 4 Shut up.
Speaker 5 No, it's not a republic.
Speaker 4 If you allow unelected bureaucrats to murder the guy guy that the majority elected like just by definition the system is not what they say it is obviously so but i do think i agree with you a hundred percent and i agree with our
Speaker 4 you know long-departed president dwight eisenhower that it really was the end the second world war in ways that i don't understand but it's demonstrable changed the nature of the country changed the relationship
Speaker 4 between the population and its government. Can I just ask you a question that I always think about, but
Speaker 4 uk specific questions so 1914
Speaker 4 the uk england britain whatever we're calling it you know is running the world
Speaker 4 you know and and doing i would say a pretty good job not perfect job pretty good job putting in railways and spreading christianity and being kind of pompous but basically being a fairly benign colonial power as colonial powers go There's a war, four years.
Speaker 4
The smartest people in the country are all killed for no obvious reason. The country's country's really weakened by that war.
The United States becomes a preeminent power in the world
Speaker 4 by 1919.
Speaker 4
So it's a huge loss for Great Britain. I would say the First World War, again, for no real reason.
20 years later, your leaders tell you, got to do it again for reasons that are clearly fake.
Speaker 4
Liberate Poland and then hand it to Stalin. That's not the reason, obviously.
Democracy is not the reason. And then the country is really like wrecked and the empire collapses and it becomes sad.
Speaker 5 Is there bitterness about that?
Speaker 4 Like, why wouldn't that be the bitterest thing that ever happened in the history of your country? Are people still, do they talk about that? They brought us into two wars that just destroyed us?
Speaker 4 All these cool things that we had, this great society that we had, we made the...
Speaker 5 I think there is
Speaker 5 a lingering sadness.
Speaker 5 But what about anger?
Speaker 4 Like, your leaders did that. There was no reason to join either war.
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 the people, obviously, in my lifetime, your lifetime, the veterans of of the First World War, they're all gone. Oh, of course.
Speaker 5 And the veterans of the Second World War, you know, are the endangered species that they are.
Speaker 5 They're almost all on the way out.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 once the people to whom it happened are gone, then that takes something
Speaker 5 with them.
Speaker 5 We're only
Speaker 5 angry with what happened at one remove, in a sense, because the people who really suffered it are gone but but i hear what you're saying about i was born 25 years after the war but i mean obviously you could say i mean you could say that britain only became a second-rate power after suz you know which wasn't until 50
Speaker 5 so so you you could say that we were for what for whatever had happened to us courtesy of the first world war and then the second world war it was it was that it was that
Speaker 5 shit show in in Suez and and that humiliation you know
Speaker 5 by America that that Britain became a city only then so it's yeah but it was dead it was dead after you know I would say it's much I think
Speaker 5 you do make me think about something that's not unconnected I do think that what's happening at the moment we will not understand
Speaker 5 what has actually happened here maybe in 50 years time people look back maybe in a hundred years time
Speaker 5 in the same way that I would say you know someone who went through the First World War even if they were experiencing it even if they were in the Western front or whatever, with the bullets flying and seeing all of the horror of it, they couldn't possibly conceptualize the impact and the consequences and the significance
Speaker 5 and the way in which
Speaker 5 you don't live through a period and know that you might suspect that the world might be changed forever as a result of the period that you're living through, but to actually predict what will be the
Speaker 5 real consequences in 10,
Speaker 5
in 50 years' time is beyond all of us. I think it's impossible.
I think part of why people won't waken up to this at the moment and won't confront it is because
Speaker 5 it's so big,
Speaker 5
what's happening. I think it is going to be like a First World War.
Of course.
Speaker 5 You know, someone said that the First World War was a set of iron railings between
Speaker 5 the past and everything else because you could see the past, but you could never reach it again. And I think, but that wouldn't have been a parent right at the time.
Speaker 5 You know, that wouldn't have been a parent, even as the men were dying.
Speaker 4 It was not.
Speaker 4
My wife's great-grandfather, whose picture is right over there, wrote a book about it, his service in France. And I've read it.
Pretty great book. And it's the most cheerful book ever written.
Speaker 4
You know, sort of like he was a successful guy in the United States and went over there to fight for something. He didn't understand what he was fighting for.
And he was in a good mood the whole time.
Speaker 5 You have no idea. I think at some point, at some point, again, in the same time frame that we're talking about, Second World War, thereafter, I think the world fell finally into the grip of the banks.
Speaker 5 It fell finally into the grip of
Speaker 5 those unelected, unaccountable, for-profit
Speaker 5 groups for whom everything was only about money, money and power.
Speaker 5 And for them, they became anywheres at that point. They didn't care about,
Speaker 5 they didn't care about Britain, didn't care about America, they just cared about money.
Speaker 5 You know, and I think that has been has been, I think we lost
Speaker 5 in that slow
Speaker 5 motion consequence of the 20th century or the first half of the twentieth century, uh that all of all of what had been before
Speaker 5 that kind of love of country, that kind of patriotism,
Speaker 5 that
Speaker 5 kind of identity, I think that was un unmoored, unhitched at that point.
Speaker 5 And something very large and slow moving just began to drift like a great liner that you know was no longer on its safe anchorage. And it's just and it's only and it's only now that with our kind of
Speaker 5 20-20 vision of hindsight that we're able to look back and see that that happened.
Speaker 13
October brings it all. Halloween parties, game day tailgates, crisp fall nights.

Speaker 1
So you probably got Verizon, AT ⁇ T, T-Mobile. That means you are definitely way overpaying for wireless service.
And we're not just saying that. It happens for a reason.
Speaker 1 When you join a massive cell phone company, you get charters to support everything that their operation is doing, and that's a lot.
Speaker 1 Big corporate programs, huge HR departments, thousands of retail stores you're never going to visit. You think your money is going toward getting better cell service, 5G service, but it's not.
Speaker 1 So, the wireless company we use, PureTalk, is very different. They use the exact same cell network as the companies we just mentioned, but they don't do any of the other garbage.
Speaker 1 And for you, that means $25 a month for your phone's data plans. Actually, $25 a month.
Speaker 1
You'll be amazed. Switch to Pure Talk.
It's super easy. Visit puretalk.com slash Tucker and you save an additional 50% off your first month.
PureTalk.com slash Tucker. It literally takes minutes.
Speaker 1 It's America's wireless company.
Speaker 4 When was the last time Britain had a leader who believed the country was more more important than the banks?
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 you probably have to go back to pre-1694 and the establishment of the Bank of England. I mean, that's when the Bank of England was set up, and
Speaker 5 that became the model for the Fed
Speaker 5 in 1913, and
Speaker 5 the creature of Jekyll Island.
Speaker 5 But then where do you start? You know, the city of London was established by, you know, the time of William the Conqueror, of course. And is a state within a state that's like the Vatican.
Speaker 5 It's a separate entity.
Speaker 5 People don't fully appreciate the extent to which the city of London is not
Speaker 5 Britain.
Speaker 5 It's a separate, it's even got its own police force.
Speaker 5 The monarch has to seek permission to enter the city of London.
Speaker 5 There's a nominated person in Parliament,
Speaker 5 the city remembrancer, who most people don't notice, who's there all the time to make sure that the the the the unique rights of the city of london are maintained and not compromised by any subsequent legislation you know so there's there's there's been a long period of that so to get back to a time before the banks had thrall
Speaker 5 you you'd have to be before the the banks were given the bank of england was given that magical power to create fiat money
Speaker 5 that's when all the
Speaker 5 you know that that that's when the trouble started you know about the bradbury pound that's a no the great story Well, you know about, you know, the, what do you call it, that Abe Lincoln had, constitutional script, the Greenbacks.
Speaker 4 Yes.
Speaker 5 During the Civil War, obviously,
Speaker 5 you know, to get himself out of a financial hole. Well, the Bradbury Pound came about in 1914 because there was a run on the banks.
Speaker 5 War was declared and people panicked.
Speaker 5 And people were going to the banks with their bits of paper, their big bank notes. I promised to pay the bearer on demand, the sum of £5, £10, whatever.
Speaker 5 and in those days you could actually get that transformed into gold you'd you could get the commensurate the the you know the relevant bit of gold yeah it was transferable had value and and so the banks had a run-on now they they they closed the banks but the there was an extended bank holiday the the the bank went scuttling to the treasury uh david lloyd george was the the the was the uh was the was the was the was the person they sought out the the the treasury the government must have had an inkling that was happening because
Speaker 5
within three days, legislation was rushed through Parliament. So they must have had something kind of ready to go.
And they created Treasury notes.
Speaker 5 And the first Lord of the Treasury was a man called, I think it's John Bradbury, Bradbury, anyway. And his signature was on these notes, and they became, their nickname was the Bradbury Pounds.
Speaker 5 And so the banks reopened. The people were still queuing up, wanting to transfer their bank notes into gold, they were persuaded to take these treasury notes instead.
Speaker 5 And people said, well, what's the value of these? And they were debt-free and interest-free, and they were underwritten by the notional value of Britain.
Speaker 5
everything that Britain was or is, its creativity, its people, its labour force, its industry, everything. That's what underwrote the Bradbury pound.
And for whatever reason, people accepted it.
Speaker 5 Okay, I'll take these Bradbury pounds. I'll take these Treasury notes, not bank notes, Treasury notes, interest-free, debt-free.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5
that saved the day. The run on the bank was averted.
Now, almost at once, the banks said or realised, we can't have this.
Speaker 5 This is debt-free, interest-free mode of exchange.
Speaker 5 What's in it for us? And so very quickly, they went back to the government, said, withdraw these Bradbury pounds, let's go back to the old days.
Speaker 5 We'll buy government bonds, we'll give you banknotes, we'll call it 3%.
Speaker 5 3% interest sounds fair.
Speaker 5 The Bradbury pounds were great. I think the last one actually didn't come out of circulation until maybe in the late
Speaker 5 many years later. I can't remember exactly when the last one came out of circulation.
Speaker 5 Britain's national debt in 1914, before the war, was about £650 million.
Speaker 5 By 1918
Speaker 5 it was 7.5 billion
Speaker 5 because the bankers had regained control.
Speaker 5 But for a moment, for a moment,
Speaker 5 with the advent of this debt-free, interest-free treasury note underwritten by the notional or real value of Britain,
Speaker 5 there was a currency went out into general circulation that could have changed everything.
Speaker 5 Imagine if people, imagine if the banks had been disempowered because they didn't have the power of debt, they didn't have the power of usury, interest, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 5 But they realized we're not having this. So, having been got out of the hole of the run on the gold,
Speaker 5 the Bradbury pounds were taken away. Nobody noticed there's a war on, and the national debt that
Speaker 5 began its cycling up.
Speaker 4 Could crypto be a Bradbury pound?
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 I host, I seek to host conversations about
Speaker 5 Bitcoin and crypto from time to time.
Speaker 5 I'll make no bones about it. I'm not really sure that
Speaker 5 I properly
Speaker 5
an expert in a position to say whether I think it's the freedom of humanity or not. I hear very strong voices on either side.
People say it's a Ponzi scheme and a con, and don't go near it.
Speaker 5 Other people say, no, this is the foundation upon which we will rebuild society. And somewhere between those two
Speaker 5 polar
Speaker 5 extremes
Speaker 5 must lie the truth.
Speaker 5 I think there are elements about it,
Speaker 5 distributed ledger, blockchain. I think somewhere within there are profound solutions.
Speaker 5 Because I have asked and had a vague yes whether or not you could use the blockchain protocol to have, say, a news channel that couldn't be shut down.
Speaker 5 Because it's peer-to-peer. You know, the currency exchange with Bitcoin is peer-to-peer, person to person,
Speaker 5 without the intercedence of a bank. And hypothetically, they say, yes,
Speaker 5 you could distribute information.
Speaker 5 You could transact.
Speaker 5 Bitcoin essentially is a transaction of information. So therefore, you could hypothetically, you could exchange news
Speaker 5 in that way, and people couldn't.
Speaker 5 The baddies couldn't get at it, hypothetically.
Speaker 5 The cryptocurrency or Bitcoin and blockchain interests me for that reason.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 although I listen to very strong voices saying, don't go anywhere near Bitcoin, it's been hacked.
Speaker 5 The banks have got control of it and so on and so on. I think somewhere within that thinking,
Speaker 5 there might be some of the answer.
Speaker 4 How long till you get pulled off the air?
Speaker 5 Oh.
Speaker 5 Oh,
Speaker 5 I don't know. I mean, I do genuinely.
Speaker 4 I mean, if you're living in a country that is trying to criminalize conversations at your dinner table between between you and your kids, send you to prison for seven years for having the wrong opinions.
Speaker 5 I think it's a bold, not me, I mean I'm a small fry in these things, but you know, I'm a minnow swimming in these waters.
Speaker 5 But nonetheless,
Speaker 5 these are bold moves because I think the people that are seeking the control with everything, with digital currency, with with digital IDs, with all of it, are
Speaker 5 cowardly, frightened people.
Speaker 5 I think we're dealing with, I think we have created an ecosystem that has enabled to thrive the most frightened, psychopathic, parasitic, cacistocratic leadership the world has yet seen.
Speaker 5
We have created the conditions for them and it's we've got to take responsibility for the fact that they are our fault. You know, you get the government you deserve.
That's true.
Speaker 5
So we can't wash our hands of it. Nonetheless, I think they're scared.
Very, very, very frightened people. And what they're most frightened of is everyone else.
Speaker 5 They're probably frightened of each other.
Speaker 5 And I think there's a line that do they want to, do they have the, will they cross it and do the wet work that would be required?
Speaker 5 They're operating at one remove from really hurting people physically,
Speaker 5 really going the lengths of throwing people into
Speaker 5
you know, gulags and concentration camps. They're not there yet.
And, you know, are they ready? Do they have the backbone to actually start, not so much people like me, but you know, but bigger fish?
Speaker 5 Are they really going to do that? I don't know if they've really got it in them.
Speaker 5 As long as people can't.
Speaker 4 Well, if they're proposing jail time for people who criticise them, that suggests they do have it in them.
Speaker 5 Let's see what actually happens.
Speaker 5 I think some of it is
Speaker 5 brinkmanship. And
Speaker 5 I'm not persuaded that they've got the cojones
Speaker 5 to be the authoritarians that they fantasize about being.
Speaker 4 Well, I mean, it depends on circumstance, right? I mean, once the virus, intentionally or not, got out of the lab in Wuhan,
Speaker 5 the
Speaker 4
COVID virus, then, you know, they moved immediately to institute totalitarian rule. That will happen again.
They're still doing gain of function research, as you well know.
Speaker 4 But don't you, don't you think they'll... And there'll be a real virus that escapes.
Speaker 5
I don't think so. I'm not sure there ever was anything.
I don't think there, I'm not persuaded that there ever was anything novel called COVID.
Speaker 5
I'm not. COVID came and influenza vanished.
That's a bit, really?
Speaker 5
Now, all the people that would traditionally tends that in their tens or hundreds of thousands every winter would die of the flu. Yes.
Nobody's dying of flu.
Speaker 5
Well, this is now COVID. That's kind of convenient.
So I'm not entirely sure there was anything new. There was no pandemic.
Speaker 5 You know, the average age of death was 82, 83, which is beyond life expectancy. You know, you look at the stats, the official government stats for a country like Germany
Speaker 5 in
Speaker 5 2019, 2020, hospital bed occupancy was at an all-time low.
Speaker 5
There was nothing clinically observable that would have given any clinician any cause for alarm in terms of we're dealing with something here. People are dropping like flies.
It's simply.
Speaker 4 Did you have a lot of friends who died of COVID?
Speaker 5 No, I don't know anyone who died of COVID.
Speaker 4 What do you mean you don't know anyone?
Speaker 5 I don't know anyone directly.
Speaker 4 Millions and millions and millions of people.
Speaker 5
No, I know that. No one connected to to me.
None of my people died of COVID. But I know plenty of people that have died subsequently of heart attacks and
Speaker 5 stroke or all the other things that, you know, that happened once that...
Speaker 4 Do you know anyone who knows anyone who's died of COVID?
Speaker 5 Well, I must do.
Speaker 5
I must do. I can't think of anyone off that.
But I do not know anyone who died of COVID. It's kind of crazy if you think about it.
It's like, I don't know.
Speaker 5
I don't know that. I'm not persuaded that there was anything new circulating.
There may have been, but it doesn't matter. Even if there was,
Speaker 5 the facts remain, the data makes clear that there was no, the people weren't dying in large numbers before, well, not before the rollout of the jabs. But in 2019, 2020,
Speaker 5 there was nothing to see here.
Speaker 5 What we ended up with was a pandemic of testing with the misapplication of PCR tests that were never designed, according to their designer, to be used as diagnostic tools.
Speaker 5 They're forensic, they're not diagnostic.
Speaker 5 Everything about it was hinky. The whole thing was obviously,
Speaker 5 they they simply took an opportunity to do something that they were planning to do anyway, which was to use a pandemic to seize control of people's freedom and their money.
Speaker 5
The biggest transfer of wealth in history. Job done.
All of that was achieved. But if we had a pandemic of anything, it was a pandemic of propaganda, a pandemic of lies, and a pandemic of testing.
Speaker 5 That's it.
Speaker 4 Well, it is pretty remarkable that for a pandemic that supposedly killed 10 million people or whatever the number they were signing you don't know anyone who died from it only people who died from the vax that is absolutely true in my case too and in fact i don't know anyone who knows anyone who died of it i possibly don't either i just couldn't quite as contradict no but that's pretty i mean we're both in our 50s sort of know a lot of people you don't know anybody who died of covet i i know no a number of people who died or were injured from the vax so um
Speaker 4 But at some point, I mean, the Spanish flu was real.
Speaker 5
Millions of people died, including relatives of ours. Let's revisit that.
I mean,
Speaker 5 lies down lies in statistics. I mean, numbers are always problematic.
Speaker 5 When I was at school, when I was at school, and I studied history at school, I remember being told that Stalin said that
Speaker 5 4 million Russians, Soviet, had died conquering Germany, beating Germany.
Speaker 5
It's now routinely quoted as 20. Yes.
So the numbers just, whatever the numbers are, they go up. And so likewise with the Spanish flu,
Speaker 5 now I read sometimes that maybe 200, maybe more 200 million people died of Spanish flu. But the number keeps going up with the passage of time.
Speaker 5
And there's quite good. There are grounds for thinking that what people died of was aspirin overdose.
Because aspirin was very new at the time of the Spanish flu pandemic.
Speaker 5 And the doctors or the medical establishment, they kind of knew they had their hands on a useful drug, but they hadn't worked out the dosage.
Speaker 5
They didn't know how best to administer it and at what level. And people were literally eating handfuls of aspirin.
Seriously? They were taking handfuls of aspirin.
Speaker 5 And people, when they were dying of Spanish flu,
Speaker 5 their symptoms are not what you would expect from flu, influenza. People had bloody froth at their noses, in their mouths, bluing of the lips, which is symptomatic of oxygen, starvation.
Speaker 5 But those are symptoms of aspirin overdose.
Speaker 5 Aspirin overdose will cause your blood to have less oxygen in it, hence the bluing of lips.
Speaker 5 And then the damage to lungs will. Are you listening to this, Trudy?
Speaker 5 I've never heard this. And then the damage to lungs
Speaker 5 will create this frothing. Now, people were dying of, well, people were dying,
Speaker 5 but this far out from 1914, 1918, and given the complication of the misuse on a colossal scale of aspirin. And it's interesting, the parallel.
Speaker 5 Doctors were encouraged to push aspirin on their patients, you know, and they were, and they were in league with government and physicians were all working together with big pharma to push aspirin as the wonder cure, as the wonder treatment.
Speaker 5
And you've got, well, you end up with many, many dead. Like I say, that lies, damn, lies, and statistics.
It's hard to know how many people died, certainly not. But a lot of people died.
Speaker 5 But then sometimes a lot of people die with
Speaker 5 an influenza.
Speaker 5 but the way that things got out of control, you've got this complicating factor of people eating fistfuls of aspirin, and it was cheap. People
Speaker 5 could get their hands on it. So it's hard to know if people were dying of influenza or if they were dying of aspirin overdose.
Speaker 4 That's an amazing story.
Speaker 5
So the Spanish flu pandemic is always quoted as the pandemic. That's happened before, it'll happen again.
Well,
Speaker 5 let's revisit.
Speaker 5 Let's find out. Let's have a clearer eyed view of exactly what did happen.
Speaker 4 So, knowing that and turning down the vax and successfully fending off the attempts to inject your kids with whatever that was, mRNA vax,
Speaker 4 how wary are you of taking any drugs?
Speaker 5 What's your most powerful adjective, Tucker?
Speaker 5 I worry about,
Speaker 5 you know, I lie in bed and I think, God, what could I do if if I was injured and I needed a blood transfusion or if I or if I needed injections of whatever how confident would I be of what was in the injections
Speaker 5 I could be being told one thing and and the reality being another and it might not even be the fault or the or the or the action of the person administering it right that's right what exactly is in that vial oh well it says
Speaker 5 I worry about I worry about exactly because
Speaker 5 clearly the AstraZeneca product, which was not an mRNA,
Speaker 5 a deenoviral, yada dada, different,
Speaker 5 that's been thrown under the bus. But the mRNA products are still there.
Speaker 5 Pfizer, Moderna. And we know that my government
Speaker 5 have invested hugely in mRNA technology. This is going to be the platform for
Speaker 5 you know, for the future of all sorts, pharmaceuticals,
Speaker 5 you know, included so I'm very very anxious about what's going to be out there and if I as I say if I if I required as I'm sure I will and you know between now and you know popping my clogs I'll need I'll need medical intervention and I would be
Speaker 5 I would be I would be anxious and I tell you I've travelled extensively as have you and in the years before I've had everything going and I've had bad reactions to things.
Speaker 5
I remember being really very unwell after my yellow fever. Me too.
I was and I, you you know, typhoid, yeah, no. To the point where I thought, God, I was away.
Speaker 5
I was away from home when the effects of it started to hit me. I thought, oh my God, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to work.
This is dire.
Speaker 5 So I've had, you know, I've had my stories to tell about, but I've had everything. I've had Japanese encephalitis jabs and hep this and hep that.
Speaker 5 You name it. I was an enthusiastic.
Speaker 4 Well, yeah, you show up at the doctor before heading to Africa or wherever, and they give you a lot of volume.
Speaker 5 Again, I thought
Speaker 5 I thought vaccination was the way to go. And then, of course, they were only able to apply these products by changing the definition of vaccine.
Speaker 4 So the mRNA technology specifically
Speaker 4 is a...
Speaker 5
I don't want that anywhere near me. Well, ever.
Of course not.
Speaker 4 But one of the things when the conspiracy theorists started talking about these drugs, you know, really at the end of 2020, early 2021, they said, well, they could breach the blood.
Speaker 4 brain barrier and they could change people permanently.
Speaker 5
They're gene therapies. Exactly.
That used to be, you weren't allowed to say that.
Speaker 5 I was putting that in monologues and having it taken out, but now I can say it because it's...
Speaker 4 It's literally true, and they admit that it is gene therapy, mRNA.
Speaker 5 Imagine if they had gone out to the general population in 2020 and said, we've got an experimental product.
Speaker 5 It will have some sort of effect on your DNA, but we can't honestly tell you how much, if any.
Speaker 5 It's not safe because previously pharmaceutical would never,
Speaker 5 by their own industry standards, they would not have applied the word safe to
Speaker 5
cream that you put on a baby's bottom for an happy rash. That's right.
You can't call it safe. That's a dangerous word, safe.
Speaker 5 Effective, no.
Speaker 5 They knew going out that it wouldn't stop transmission because they hadn't tested to see it would stop transmission.
Speaker 5 So the whole safe and effective, and take this not for you, but to make sure you don't kill loved ones, was a lie.
Speaker 5 That was lie after lie. after lie
Speaker 5 and and it was only as we know all this it was only released under emergency use authorization,
Speaker 5 probably involving the DOD rather than big pharma in any meaningful sense.
Speaker 5 They knew going in that there would be an adverse reaction for every 800 doses of, every 800th dose would see an adverse reaction.
Speaker 5 They've got pages and pages of what the adverse reactions were going to be that Pfizer tried to bury for 75 years, but wasn't able to do. We were lied to and lied to and lied to.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 people were almost being thrown in jail for knowing and saying that it was lies.
Speaker 4 Well, in Australia, they were.
Speaker 4 But the question is, why? And you sort of wonder, like, if
Speaker 4 does it change your DNA? Do you notice a difference in people who took it?
Speaker 5 Well, we'll find out. Because
Speaker 5
the biggest human test in history has been carried out. It's longitudinal.
That's right. We're waiting for the results now.
But what do you think?
Speaker 4 What's your instinct?
Speaker 5 You were right before. Well, I listened very early on to the likes of
Speaker 5 the German Thai doctor,
Speaker 5 Sucharat Bhaktadi, I think his name.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 he frightened the living daylights out of me three, four years ago.
Speaker 5 And he was saying then,
Speaker 5 anyone applying RNA, anyone putting a product like this into people is taking part in the biggest crime against humanity
Speaker 5
in the history of humanity. And for the sake of your honour, for the sake of your family name, you must walk away from having anything to do with applying this product to anyone.
You must, because
Speaker 5 if you do this, you will be taking part in the biggest crime against humanity. I was thinking, my God, who is this guy? But it was something very,
Speaker 5 he was a credentialed, serious clinician,
Speaker 5 research, you know, scientist person.
Speaker 5 Why would he be saying these things? He must have reasons for saying these things.
Speaker 5
And so he was very early on saying, this is gene therapy. This is going, this could change the DNA of the cells in people's bodies.
And we already think we're seeing that happening.
Speaker 4 Well, human behavior changed after
Speaker 4
the inoculation campaign. I mean, it did change.
Human behavior changed. People started living differently.
Their attitudes changed.
Speaker 5 What do you think people have been modified already?
Speaker 4 Yes, I do. I have no evidence for that other than what I see.
Speaker 5 And specifically, how is it manifesting?
Speaker 4
I think people seem much more compliant, actually. And I think they seem broken.
Now, how to disaggregate all the different factors is beyond my capability. I'm not God.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 But
Speaker 4 being locked indoors for a year,
Speaker 4
bereft of human contact. And there are lots of different factors.
Drinking and drug use went way up. Screen time went way up.
Speaker 4 But there's no denying that people changed the way they lived and their attitudes really changed.
Speaker 4 And if you have a drug that could potentially change people's DNA, and I think there's evidence that it can. I mean, it can.
Speaker 4 Why wouldn't you see changes in behavior?
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 again, I say I would simply wait and see. I would just, we'll see.
Speaker 5 We will see. But when it comes to what people...
Speaker 4 That's the biggest thing that's ever happened in human beings.
Speaker 5 It is the biggest thing that's ever happened in human. It would be the biggest crime against humanity.
Speaker 5 And in terms of changed behavior, I think you also, yes, I believe, I absolutely accept that we may well be seeing genetic
Speaker 5 change.
Speaker 5 But people, that part of our conversation earlier, that thing about a test, a sorting of people in a fairly binary
Speaker 5 choice,
Speaker 5 to find out that
Speaker 5 you got the biggest test of humanity wrong,
Speaker 5
the big one. Here's the one.
You don't know it's coming, but it turned out that that was the test. And to know that you, or to suspect,
Speaker 5 I'm pretty sure I called that wrong. I did that, and people have seen that in themselves, and that's a lot to live with.
Speaker 5 You know, if you, if you, I don't know, let's say you're lying in your bed at night, family asleep, mum and dad,
Speaker 5 three, four kids, and the smoke alarm goes off,
Speaker 5 and as dad, you suddenly find yourself standing out in the street, having fled the house. Without even before you even had time to think, you realise that your instinct
Speaker 5
It turns out it's a false alarm anyway. There's nothing to worry about.
But nonetheless, imagine if, how would, and then you go back into the house, Dad,
Speaker 5 you didn't come for us, you ran out into the street, and we were still in the house with the smoke.
Speaker 5 That's the kind of analogy I would draw.
Speaker 5 So, yes, people may, maybe the RNA component of what happened would alter people, but I think people are altered by self-realization, which is a pretty powerful draw.
Speaker 4 I completely agree with that. And by the way, in a society that literally sends women to war to defend us,
Speaker 4 I mean, it's like so degraded. At this point, the concept of honor is sort of missing.
Speaker 4 I mean, the male survivors of the Titanic live with shame.
Speaker 4 Of course, you know, you're a man. How did you survive that? Like, women drowned and you lived.
Speaker 5 Like, really?
Speaker 4
But I think we've lost touch with a lot of that. But that is a feature of nature, of the natural law that you referred to earlier.
And so it's real whether we acknowledge it or not.
Speaker 4 And I, you know, guys who are raped in prison are referred to as bitches. You know what I mean? There's something once you submit or allow yourself to be treated as something less than human,
Speaker 4
it changes you. And of course, being forced to take a drug into your body whose effects you don't know that you don't want is an act of true submit.
It is like getting raped.
Speaker 5 It is profound. I mean, we know
Speaker 5 Freud and the archetypes
Speaker 5 and the hero journey. I mean, all these things that we know about
Speaker 5 that are the basis for so much of our understanding of the human psyche. That every man, every person, let's say, but every man
Speaker 5 is supposed to go down into the belly of the beast
Speaker 5 in pursuit of the lost father and rescue, much like Pinocchio does in the whale, goes and gets Geppetto back out and becomes a real boy.
Speaker 5 That's the hero journey. And
Speaker 5 we know
Speaker 5 what we're supposed to do,
Speaker 5 in order to justify our
Speaker 5 three score and ten
Speaker 5 in this incarnated moment in time,
Speaker 5 we should go on the hero journey and emerge as
Speaker 5 fathers in our own right, able to fulfil that role. We know that's the hero journey, and
Speaker 5 it's right there, woven into us.
Speaker 5 It's in the DNA.
Speaker 5 And to have had your shot
Speaker 5 and not
Speaker 5 gone into the belly of the beast in pursuit of, you know, you're taking up your role.
Speaker 4 You've emasculated a lot of the population.
Speaker 5 So whether or not their genetics have been altered, which they may have been, that kind of self-realization is a damned hard bullet to chew.
Speaker 4 So does it strike you that
Speaker 4 the way that you think about
Speaker 5 people
Speaker 4 is influenced by Freud and by people who think about human behavior in non-chemical terms, in moral, spiritual terms? That whole way of thinking has kind of disappeared.
Speaker 4
I mean, that was a feature of our childhoods where people would say, well, you have unresolved issues, guilt, whatever. You didn't live up to your own standards.
You take that with you.
Speaker 4 Now it's like you've got a chemical imbalance. Like, we can't even, I don't think young people can even analyze human behavior in those terms.
Speaker 5 I think it's part and parcel of an anti-human agenda. Yes.
Speaker 5 That what has been done fundamentally is anti-human. And it's being done to people who see no inherent, they don't know what it means to be human and alive.
Speaker 5 And therefore they can be casual and contemptuous of people
Speaker 5 in a count of billions
Speaker 5 because they have got away from the sovereign human being.
Speaker 5 That's right. And
Speaker 5 what it means. You know, we don't have the...
Speaker 5 barely, barely floated a dugout canoe onto the Pacific Ocean of the unknown as the human consciousness.
Speaker 5 But we've already got the transhumanists, not the transgender, the transhumanists, who are already preaching that the human being Mark I is sub-optimal and needs an upgrade via
Speaker 5 technology.
Speaker 5 They want to blend humans with tech, digitized you know, Erzatz human beings because the time of the biological human is partly over.
Speaker 4 but that is a that's a product of of the wrong kind of people not even asking what it means to be human and alive right well it's a rebellion against god too i mean if you know as christians certainly but i i think muslims and jews also certainly jews do believe that human beings are created in god's image
Speaker 4 you know, to deface that image is to attack God, right? And so to change, to declare people inherently inadequate,
Speaker 4 you know, that's
Speaker 5 a theological concept, I think.
Speaker 5 It's bound up with many, as I say, it's going to be a hundred years or more. But, you know, obviously, you're like
Speaker 5 in 1968, Paul Ehrlich wrote The Population.
Speaker 5
And at the same time, actually, Garrett Hardin wrote The Tragedy of the Commons. And they both speculated about the basic crapness and rubbishness of...
people in large numbers.
Speaker 5 You know, they'll just make a mess of everything. And it was that return of that neo-Malthusian approach to people.
Speaker 5 there's too many of them and they're not worth having anyway so this is going to be the ending of us and the predictions of Ehrlich and so on were wrong you got it completely wrong and we
Speaker 5 I I talk to people I interview people all the time who are saying and you'll be across this that birth rates are plummeting across the West. It's not just in the West.
Speaker 5 Japan is poised to disappear in 100 years. The
Speaker 5 South Japanese people.
Speaker 5 So it's not even a Western phenomenon.
Speaker 5
Swathes of populations are not producing enough people to keep themselves going. It's true in Britain and France, all across Europe.
It's true in America. It's really bad in America.
Speaker 5 People are having like 1.4, 1.5 children on average, which is not enough to sustain.
Speaker 5 And people are not appreciating that they are sitting in the cheap seats on a plane that is in a tailspin.
Speaker 5 that may not may not be possible even if you could get to the controls to pull the plane back into level flight.
Speaker 5 It may have gone beyond that point. And And you've got that information out there at the same time as people like Bill Gates and others are saying, we've got to check the human population.
Speaker 5 We've got too many people.
Speaker 5
And in 100 years' time, there's not going to be anybody here. Well, I'm using hyperbole, but populations are in steep decline.
And the explanations for it are existential.
Speaker 5 You know, it has to do with maybe possibly falling fertility. And God knows what we've done to fertility with these products that we've jammed into several billion people.
Speaker 5 We'll see what the fertility consequences of all that are in due course.
Speaker 4 I think we know.
Speaker 5 I think we know.
Speaker 5 But in any event, there's also people delaying having children and then when you know so many women, when they do reach a point where they do want to have children, they're now in maybe their mid-30s, their late 30s, the relevant partner is not there at the right time and so they miss that.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 there's all sorts of existential reasons, societal reasons for the plummeting.
Speaker 4 But they got to work at a consulting firm in the ensuing years. That's not enough.
Speaker 5 But what I'm saying is that we know this, and yet the Malthusians are still out there banging the drum for fewer people.
Speaker 5 They can't get rid of people fast enough. They can't quickly enough deter people from having more people.
Speaker 4 Isn't that genocide? Like, isn't that what that is?
Speaker 5 Yeah, it's anti-species. And again, again, it's coming down to people, I think,
Speaker 5 who are not properly invested in the future. And they're certainly not invested in the future of humankind.
Speaker 5 They're not giving
Speaker 5 their last measure of devotion. But there's like a gut-level hate.
Speaker 4 So there's a football player, you probably haven't followed this, but in the United States, kicker, who gave a college commencement speech the other day.
Speaker 5
And in it, he said, Trudy and I watched it this morning. Oh, by chance.
We watched it online.
Speaker 4 And you're deeply steeped in the politics of the United States, but then you saw how moderate it was.
Speaker 4 He's like, you know, as you grow older, you might want to have kids because that's a source of enduring joy.
Speaker 4 And all these politicians and cultural figures and I can't remember that chick's name, but Taylor Swift, some sort of fake entertainer, like gets out there and, you know, denounces the guy as
Speaker 4 a Neanderthal and as evil because he suggests that having children may be more rewarding than your stupid career.
Speaker 4 Like, what is that impulse? Like, why would you be mad at someone for encouraging young people to have children? Like, that's very weird to me.
Speaker 5
I was listening to Jordan Peterson years ago. I mean, I'm not claiming that as a badge of honor or anything, just a fact.
I was listening way before everything that's happening at the moment.
Speaker 5
I came across him years and years ago. I think it was courtesy of, you know, the Joe Rogan experience.
He was part of that. the intellectual dark web.
Remember the Sam Harris,
Speaker 5 Brett Weinstein, Heather Haying, and Jordan Peterson, and so on. And I remember being really, very profoundly struck by a lot of the things that
Speaker 5 Peterson had to say about children and parenthood.
Speaker 5 And for example, I really remember him saying that, you know, so many people say they don't want to have a baby because it's going to interfere with their lifestyle.
Speaker 5 And he said, I really have to ask, what kind of lifestyle is it that you can't take a baby with you? And I thought,
Speaker 5 yeah,
Speaker 5 because we, Trudy and I, from we had our first and then we've got three,
Speaker 5 they always came with us.
Speaker 5
They just were there. They were just, then there were two of them, and now there were three of them.
And they just went everywhere. We just,
Speaker 5 it didn't impinge on anything. And obviously, it goes without saying that it made our lives
Speaker 5 by inexpressible orders of magnitude richer. And, and yet, you know, but the abiding message out there is that, oh, no, there's better things to do than be families.
Speaker 5 That's anti-human at the basal level.
Speaker 4 Well, so then I want to ask you just finally about one of the great trends in the West,
Speaker 4 and it is only in the West,
Speaker 4 is the climate hysteria.
Speaker 4 How do you assess that?
Speaker 5 That seems part of this larger whole. It's a hoax.
Speaker 4 It's a hoax in what sense?
Speaker 5 Well,
Speaker 5 it's multifaceted.
Speaker 5
The climate is changing, because that's what the climate does. Yep.
Like weather.
Speaker 5 The climate changes.
Speaker 4 We did have glaciers at one point.
Speaker 5 Yeah.
Speaker 5 When they started measuring temperature, we were just coming out of the little ice age, which had lasted for hundreds of years.
Speaker 5 And temperatures were as low on planet Earth as they'd been for thousands of years at that point.
Speaker 5 So, when it comes to measuring temperature, there was only really one way for, unless we were going to go extinct or go straight into another full ice age, there was only one way for the temperatures to go, which was up.
Speaker 5 And so, the fact that there has been sustained increase in temperature, well, it would be because it was coming from the bottom of the well.
Speaker 5 The only way was up.
Speaker 5 Also,
Speaker 5 it used to be
Speaker 5 an accepted fact that increasing carbon dioxide follows a rise in temperature. It doesn't cause it.
Speaker 5 As the world gets warmer,
Speaker 5 there's a kind of a several hundred-year lag, and then there's more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a consequence of that warming.
Speaker 5 And so
Speaker 5 to tell people that carbon dioxide is causing the increase in temperature would be like seeing a horse and cart on a road from space and imagining that the cart was pushing the horse because you could see it moving.
Speaker 5 That would be how wrong you are. It's the horse pulling the car.
Speaker 5 And likewise, CO2,
Speaker 5 there's more of it once the planet's warmer. By I think it's 800 years is the lag.
Speaker 5 So there are all sorts of reasons for
Speaker 5 being aware that this way in which people are being frightened into thinking that there's a catastrophic apocalypse coming because they've got gas central heating and they drive fossil fuel cars is a hoax.
Speaker 5 There's a big complicated picture to do with the the the the climate changing. It used to be called in the 70s.
Speaker 5
I remember the documentary with Leonard Nimoy very well talking about you know we were going into an ice age. That was just the 70s.
And then it became global warming.
Speaker 5
But then because that isn't holding up, it's become climate change. Well, yeah, of course climate changes.
And then in any event,
Speaker 5 what's been done in in response to it is is not green and it's anti-human.
Speaker 5 You know, as advocates of fossil fuels say, if we are, if we are, let's say we are going into a time of climate uncertainty and instability, that would be the very time you wouldn't want to do away with the ability to cheaply and readily heat homes or air condition them.
Speaker 5
That would be true. As appropriate.
I mean, if something's going to happen, this would be the, you know, you do not throw away your matches, you know,
Speaker 5 at the time when you might need to light a fire.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 also the,
Speaker 5 you know, the wind turbines that now are at the end of their life cycle and they're just being landfilled. These vast, unrecyclable plastic things are just being buried in the ground.
Speaker 5
They are being made in any event using fossil fuels. They can't be recycled.
Electric cars, that's just a means to get people out of their cars and back onto, I don't know, horses or
Speaker 5 Shanks' pony or whatever.
Speaker 5 So
Speaker 5 it's not green, what is being done.
Speaker 5 The planet, we're making a mess.
Speaker 5 you know look what happens in the extraction of the the lithiums and other rare earth metals are required for electric batteries look at the the child slavery that that entails look at the look at the scarification of the planet that's involved in the extraction of those things the destruction of ecosystems and habitats in pursuit of green energy really seriously
Speaker 5 and the one you know the one clean green energy that is available, which is nuclear, is strictly verboten because, well, because we've been told that you can't have nuclear energy.
Speaker 4
So in Europe, you've seen a spade of climate cultists destroying medieval art. You know, it's never modern art.
It's always Christian art, but I've noticed.
Speaker 4 But they've gone into museums and spray-painted or slash paintings. I don't think you've seen any vandalism of private planes at all.
Speaker 4 So if you believe in the kind of schematic, if you believe in the story of climate change as an existential threat,
Speaker 4
you know, the first thing you would do is get rid of private air travel. but that doesn't occur to anybody.
I don't understand, like, what is that? What are we watching?
Speaker 5 Well, you've got that, you've got that bizarre situation where the rich at the World Economic Forum in Davos and other places are openly saying that because of carbon credits, us rich people will buy the carbon credits of poor people that can't afford to go on holiday anyway.
Speaker 5 And that will offset our private jets and private yachts. You're not using your carbon credits anyway because you can barely afford to feed yourself or your family.
Speaker 5 So you're definitely not going on holiday this year. So
Speaker 5 I'll take credit, your carbon credits off your hand, and I'll use that to legitimize the perpetuation of my luxurious lifestyle.
Speaker 5 The hypocrisy of it, the rubbing of people's noses in it is off the scale.
Speaker 5 And again, it's anti-human.
Speaker 5 For want of the kind of farming techniques
Speaker 5 and the fertilizers that we have,
Speaker 5 there's very good reason for thinking that half the world's population will starve to death for want of the kind of fertilizers that are made from oil.
Speaker 5 So they just stop oil.
Speaker 4
So we're going to see famines. I don't think there's any doubt about that soon.
And when that happens,
Speaker 4 will people blame each other as they've been instructed to do? Or will they finally figure out that this is all manufactured?
Speaker 5 I think, again,
Speaker 5 being absolutely, being an inalienable
Speaker 5
responsibility to be positive, I would have to answer yes to that question. That more, more people do see it.
Well, I can say for one, I see it now, and I didn't used to.
Speaker 5 So i've added to the count by one and trudy sees it and she didn't use to so that's two and our kids do so that's five you know so just in my immediate circle i'm seeing people waking up on a very personal level so so yes i do i do think that that enough people are seeing the
Speaker 5 the way in which we are being played we are being an attempt, a galactic scale attempt to pull the wool over our eyes
Speaker 5 is going on and more and more people are seeing it and they're seeing that people are being uprooted from their their homelands and have been for generations
Speaker 5 and they are turning up where they you know maybe oughtn't to be and instead of people
Speaker 5 in
Speaker 5 you know
Speaker 5 pausing for a moment to think why is this disruption happening
Speaker 5 they just get angry with the victims of it.
Speaker 5 And I'm not saying, I'm not saying
Speaker 5 I'm sure there are bad bad lads and
Speaker 5 criminals and absolutely the sort of people of whatever creed and colour that you wouldn't want in your communities. I do, I see, I get that, absolutely.
Speaker 4 But they wouldn't be here if the governments and NGOs hadn't brought them.
Speaker 5 But the bigger picture is, I mean, look at the, you know, they're building a bridge in the Darien Gap to make it easier for the NGOs and the WHO and the UN and the rest of them to drive people into the United States from the south.
Speaker 5 If you can't,
Speaker 5 as I say,
Speaker 5
I'm seeing it and more and more people are seeing it. And all it really takes is for people to realize that the trouble is not beside you, it's above you.
And
Speaker 5 it's not a big group. And actually, their techniques are old, worn out, and transparent from overuse.
Speaker 5 And
Speaker 5 there's nothing to fear but the fear they sow, I would say.
Speaker 4 I can't believe that I am more pessimistic than a Scot.
Speaker 5 Well, you've probably got Scottish genes. I do.
Speaker 5 But there's no, but that's a zero-sum game, Tucker. You can't,
Speaker 5 you've got to be, you've got to, you've got to, it's like, it's like taking your castor oil.
Speaker 5 It's like taking your, you've got to, you've got to, you've got to be optimistic because it's your, it's your obligation. It's nothing less than your obligation to force yourself to be optimistic.
Speaker 5
You can't, you cannot go to the, to the dark side. until it's all over, in which case it won't matter anyway.
But I don't think, I don't don't think so.
Speaker 4 Neil Oliver, thank you on that.
Speaker 5 I appreciate it. Thank you, Tucker Carlson.
