to about some husband's so
7:59
about by on our will have
8:01
more budgets in this life or
8:04
the max it was i think was the
8:06
i'm or as alastair campbell
8:08
podcast they were like what if
8:10
what if the prime minister had to swear
8:13
an oath on the ministerial code

8:17
of supply burrow to commit fucking sick
8:20
broker
8:21
i read or yes yeah i mean
8:23
that nice and and a demonstration
8:25
ssssss on my israeli my
8:27
to best said to him and with as i could salvage
8:30
assess assess assess the v
8:32
sort of
8:33
the absolute relentless dysfunction
8:35
of everybody involved the top level
8:37
here also the same thing right where the
8:40
french legislative elections have
8:42
like returned a i believe
8:44
like a minority government from across
8:46
as well right with a with
8:48
a beefed up left yes but also eighty
8:51
more seats for seat fucking or
8:53
nationality and fifty six of sixteen
8:55
one seats were there was a run off between
8:58
the far right the far left and
9:00
it's the and across her stay home
9:02
yet and white it just
9:05
it's it's it's genuinely the
9:07
were rose the hate socialist more the
9:09
fastest thing yet again you know what you can
9:11
do know it's really fun and free to do is
9:13
search from at ian
9:15
done left abstention
9:17
is him and see he had to say about the matter oh
9:21
yeah anyone who was so much from my news imperial
9:23
presidency that's the thing it's it's
9:25
less of a jupiter marion presidency and more
9:27
of a m how fast he and know
9:29
is that jupiter syrian presidency the sense
9:31
that he's going go to jupiter to get stupid
9:34
or another
9:36
, that the guys that uses a indiana
9:38
and the value is dunks of fourth
9:40
great thing about
9:42
recently as about recently of friends have kids are getting to be
9:44
early primary school age and i'm like it's so
9:46
annoying when they get one thing in their head and can't shut fuck
9:48
up new imagine what how awesome must be be
9:50
seven year old to hear go stupid and get
9:52
stupid for first time that must be like
9:54
discovering cold fusion for them absolutely
9:58
but i think the the when i'm driving at here right is
10:00
that there seems to be this manifest
10:03
inability and we've discussed various facets
10:05
of it whether it's a the inability of
10:07
the states to get billed
10:10
back better past or indeed to like
10:12
continue to safeguard anything approaching
10:14
civil rights even though it at the democrats
10:16
sort hold all all three all three
10:18
threw up of their whole that to the three major races
10:20
governments there is an inability to govern
10:23
their there is an inability to for
10:25
make for make government in france there's an
10:27
inability to get to attempt
10:29
to govern here there's it up dot met
10:31
the overton window has been restricted to won't
10:33
work year and that it
10:35
seems like of all of the countries
10:38
that kind of the great had consensus
10:40
neoliberalism kind of just bolted
10:42
into place from like the ninety nineties
10:45
it seems as though they are more or less
10:47
all completely failing to meet
10:49
the challenges of the day
10:51
maybe we can get an op ed from tony
10:53
blair to explain to us how we went wrong
10:55
or rare intervention the sonic those
10:57
milk yeah think saw tweet about that today this morning
11:00
twitter like yeah was you rarely i forgot what's
11:02
yes but know you're writing announcing our the
11:04
idea for the show with lie i do
11:06
think there's point there though that like you think about
11:08
the way in which
11:09
the consensus of sort of this is is
11:11
if anything besides this is
11:13
impossible the being
11:16
the dominant mode of politics in britain
11:18
and in america since the nineties the extent to
11:20
which sort of ninety is narrowing
11:22
of horizons has never really gone away
11:25
like there are other countries that to in
11:27
better in terms of like gil trying
11:29
different politics and here
11:31
in the uk and america if you're like there's
11:34
this idea that well this way
11:36
that wouldn't work anyway so we are going do it and it's
11:38
just it's wild to see how
11:40
many squandered opportunities there has been
11:43
the entered i think to me the
11:45
one that really has been bother me when i think about
11:47
it is when i think back to the the
11:49
over arching dominance
11:52
that
11:53
obama had in his first ministration
11:55
specifically yeah i'm here so i congrats to
11:57
years where he could have done any him
11:59
as saying
12:00
like the idea the right now the third
12:03
that the filibuster won't let segment of the filibuster
12:05
fuck you because done anything and they didn't
12:07
and it's like
12:09
i don't want to harp upon this idea
12:11
that simplest and most vulgar explanation
12:13
is that the truest but a sort of like it
12:15
you will probably be more accurate
12:18
or more or you would probably wind up being corrected
12:20
more instances if you looked at
12:22
why the democrats in america have
12:24
not done things when they were in power because
12:27
if you were to explain it as they want those
12:29
problems to exist like a sword of damocles
12:31
so they can fundraise that might be
12:33
a simplistic explanation but it's certainly
12:35
it's closer to accurate
12:37
my opinion and another then for vulgar
12:39
marxism j s the rest
12:41
it kills me because it just like if you look
12:43
at what's happening here you look at was happening in america
12:45
like right now mean joe biden
12:47
falling off his bike notwithstanding it's definitely
12:49
looking like ah they're going get their
12:51
fucking the much a during
12:54
the the midterm congressional elections
12:57
and you know once that happens
12:59
it doesn't matter how many zero ideas they ran
13:01
on is going to the left's fault because it always is
13:03
cause enough you're gonna have you're sort
13:05
of rare intervention practical it's it's because
13:07
they they because it's it's it's the
13:09
total disconnection
13:11
and get doesn't you can see this this is sort of this
13:13
is something that's occurring to me from just
13:16
seeing the sort of continued failure
13:18
of the gears to mesh together
13:21
in these consensus neoliberalism countries
13:23
to see the failure of the
13:25
failure of the centers project in france
13:27
on it's own terms the and
13:29
good much of have failure was again as you said
13:31
nate designed in sort of fucking the last
13:33
where they could the get beating
13:35
themselves i fucking the left's but also
13:38
finally the to sort
13:40
of to say that yet the iraq
13:42
we're looking at places that let's say
13:44
didn't have the or were that consensus
13:46
neoliberalism was never consensus where was always
13:48
one side of a conflict there there
13:50
had been another thing pushing against it
13:53
in south america for example there
13:55
are let's say transform
13:57
it there transformative elections actually
13:59
have
14:00
yeah any good he is from columbia yeah you
14:02
you have laughing president columbia you have
14:04
i'm you know eleven president july
14:06
you have left and governments in
14:09
mexico obviously a still nicaragua
14:11
honduras which is a rare rare one cassandras
14:13
was has been a right wing struggled for
14:15
a long time
14:17
i am don't crying now yeah exactly
14:19
what as well or don't worry free and dot guatemala
14:21
still run by right with military dictatorship
14:24
and everything but name so i'm but
14:26
or what i was gonna say is is that
14:28
when you look out for example i
14:30
was think about this earlier today yeah i was
14:32
like the new psu and it's also for that columbia
14:34
is good to see that was
14:36
when i thought about like
14:38
much like tony blair's rare interventions when hillary
14:40
clinton's rare intervention to basically try strong
14:42
arm the haitian government into not raising
14:44
their minimum wage more than a dot
14:46
up to more than a dollar an hour because us
14:49
fruit of the womb basically asked
14:51
her for a favor through the clinton global initiative
14:53
those i'm with her with shirts like
14:56
it's like it's like grew at all these people still
14:58
be whether they don't have have nice i want to look
15:00
at their own system or my nothing nothing's
15:02
going to work with nothing but consensus neoliberalism
15:04
is gonna were limited to any of feels like
15:06
huge the third weighs only way to do to as like
15:09
have potentially tried running someone
15:11
who didn't intercede
15:13
to block the raising of
15:15
the mineral wage in the poorest country the western
15:17
hemisphere on a personal
15:19
appeal from an underwear company like
15:22
there's just an element like a degree
15:24
of venality to that always makes me
15:26
laugh in dark with this like men spock
15:28
like viewer being told that the best
15:30
there is an eye hi i have story
15:33
was it spin class in new york
15:35
during this when sixteen election like and
15:37
i think it was after primary but before the general
15:39
election and member
15:42
hillary's campaign headquarters
15:44
was in brooklyn and says the
15:46
spin class and i guess like an entire fucking
15:48
group from hillary for america was there
15:51
like doing a group exercise class and
15:53
they had when they go low
15:55
we go high but it was the we go high
15:57
part was written in hebrew for some reason ads
16:00
the all exercising together and then
16:02
i just over thinking about them at all can think
16:04
of is like when jeff goldblum fucking
16:06
crew of twigs gets wiped out in the life
16:08
aquatic history process
16:13
of hillary poppy seed it sits
16:15
at like all those people with a skirt
16:17
of asserts that you wouldn't understand unless he received
16:19
it was at hebrew doing fucking
16:22
spin classes on classes weekday when they oughta
16:24
be fucking to a painting and
16:26
they lost they lost a layup elected
16:28
it's incredible all of those people were
16:30
the same ones whose jobs with order
16:32
lawn signs in michigan so
16:35
loud are signs of acts any all of them all and
16:38
hebrews hey what's up with and back
16:40
with i was reading some not both is blessing
16:42
is a to talk about that have been some for a sort of
16:44
get into some the stuff i have prepared as well
16:46
which is of course reuters as at your hot
16:48
on off the press of again like or
16:51
of
16:52
hot off of the off of the the of result
16:54
putting his double petro in power in colombia
16:57
has , following headlight against this
16:59
is in world in which the consensus
17:01
neoliberalism that much of what we've been trapped
17:03
in has been absolutely tapping
17:05
returns is just throwing
17:07
the world into a recession the things
17:09
that we did zero interest rates to like prop
17:12
up after the housing crisis should have discredited
17:14
it right that saying well
17:17
reuters has said that the bis break from
17:19
consensus neoliberalism artists neoliberalism sort of break
17:21
this move to different politics in colombia
17:24
this in colombia headlights colombia's first
17:26
leftist leader gustavo petro targets inequality
17:28
investors on edge he
17:30

17:32
again if if if you want understand
17:34
cap so read the fucking capitalists
17:36
faces that's now
17:39
yet so you know med so look look
17:42

17:44
works because i you know
17:46

17:48
i can think of boy is and people who
17:50
have like large financial commitments in colombia
17:53
specifically might quite on edge a lot of the
17:55
time has
17:58
passed since considering
18:00
in a small blaze resident confident but
18:02
, me though i point out to is that colombia's
18:05
vice president is a black colombian woman
18:07
who at one point her life was her life
18:09
like was domestic cleaner and like colombia's
18:12
politics has been for it he call
18:14
it pigment ah chrissy and ah lot of ways
18:16
to this is a lot of the do a lot of serve momentous
18:18
things for the movements
18:20
of people that like i think it completely
18:22
turns the advice of like anything that's not
18:25
for the guy had hard hottest the fringe
18:27
diversity issues that has colored alienate
18:29
white working class like you can't find
18:31
place wanted to jordan peterson for do as
18:33
as as and also every every fucking nerd who works
18:35
for the democratic party looks like there's
18:37
there's this you can't can't think
18:39
of countries that more like politics
18:41
fucking governed on racial lines and latin america
18:44
and here you have polish and winning like i
18:46
think when you look stuff like living standards living
18:48
wages you know what the government does
18:50
what it what can provide those kinds of things like
18:52
when you actually say you're gonna do things to fix people's
18:54
fucking living situation sucks it's amazing
18:56
what you can do and i feel like what ,
18:58
kills me is that we're always told know that's
19:00
that's that's that's us was one of the some eating
19:03
sometimes you possess what does that this i'm sick had
19:05
for like the wall street journal who when trump when they said
19:07
it was of be the fault of boutique sexuality
19:09
is over six over and find fucking
19:11
sexuality a goddamn stores like
19:14
a small store luxury but if they get lucky
19:16
lottery military police etc and it's like
19:18
nah man mean like blake have
19:21
you ever seen the way right wing lad american sucks
19:23
people who aren't white by their standard looks holy
19:25
fuck man like it needed maybe
19:28
it makes america look like fucking nordic
19:30
social democracy and that's and as saying
19:32
something yeah i'm and so i
19:34
look at stuff and i distinctly is the thing
19:36
is that people voting for this because they actually believe
19:39
that they are capable of improving their lives
19:41
and that they will actually do it and it's
19:43
like the democrats was like now we won't
19:45
do that and also it's illegal for you
19:47
to say that wanna do it and then when they
19:49
lose elected the left did this to us
19:52
why
19:52
did you define police we
19:54
have the infirm of the big rare and svensson
19:56
town so that i'm suggesting we put up because
19:59
hillary
20:00
has done another area intervention
20:02
yet what a what tony blair long at all
20:04
the mocking time and basically it's hillary clinton
20:06
said he would totally be as simple losses
20:09
yeah because what we're all sitting around asking
20:11
ourselves was we need advice
20:14
on how to win elections
20:16
from my son with proven
20:18
track record is my window
20:20
and i forgot to as if if if if
20:22
a cigarette i think it's though their bodies
20:24
measure that occurs is really good point like booklet actually
20:26
did when like bill clinton bucked the trend spot
20:28
goblin but he bucked trend of a
20:30
lotta people they have any tell your lap pile
20:34
as he bucks the trend of the southern
20:36
strategy in one as the democratic governor in
20:38
arkansas and then arkansas president twice you
20:40
know in the face of reaganism when was will
20:42
bring for governor and it's absolutely post post reagan
20:45
whereas hillary like yes you center for new
20:47
york but like sheath as senator to say that always
20:49
likes democrats were like once you win the primary was
20:51
his base a coronation you are going to win
20:54
and like and that she lost a way
20:56
to obama despite going full racists
20:58
and ah a me out if you remember this if you guys
21:00
were think it has the time but hillary clinton during
21:02
the two thousand eight primary when obama was cruelly
21:04
wedding people like why is he dropped out she's like
21:06
well bobby kennedy got killed and soon as
21:08
i remember that yeah wow
21:10
like it was you forgot my alibi the
21:12
f b i yeah exactly i
21:15
think with that but what i think that the thing that thing
21:17
want to sort of drive home here with comparison
21:19
case right of these of these election
21:22
that's it i'm remembering things which again
21:24
it's illegal to do apparently unless you're like
21:26
joe one of light and know if you tend that
21:28
i was listened hillary clinton's opinion is she had one
21:30
necessarily i'm trying to say and i find very funny that
21:32
we're byo as your as you're saying that were bases
21:34
people who cannot stop fucking loser like will
21:36
he do that gonna lose very very very quickly boyd
21:38
move on i think like bill clinton and tiny black
21:40
or examples like a slightly earlier stage
21:43
of neoliberalism where they would promise to do
21:45
stuff and then just not really do it whereas
21:47
arrogance is a lie as they dress like oh no
21:49
i'm not going to do anything and i am also that not
21:51
gonna add debt elsa they call themselves
21:53
the they the original island boys so
21:56
but via six feet the thing the thing started
21:58
trying to draw with this comparison and sort an
22:00
active memory is that
22:03
so much of the out limitations
22:05
drawn around politics now in
22:08
western europe and north america are
22:10
fake the are fake limits their
22:12
land their imposed largely by spectacle
22:15
because there is this because there is the
22:17
shadow place of people
22:19
asking hillary clinton what to do there
22:21
is the shadow play of our
22:24
have some say well the investors are going to be
22:26
on edge if you elect the left his presence at restaurants
22:29
that's would movies and window is right that's
22:31
what is originally designed describe that cinema
22:33
but when but was in think that it's it's
22:35
important to remind yourself as well that the overton
22:38
window isn't just this thing and is not
22:40
just a different one in colombia because of it's
22:42
closer to the equator it's a it's a
22:44
product of people in the southern hemisphere
22:47
the within went backwards jags
22:50
i however the policy to in l a x swell
22:52
and different darius that hitless but that what
22:54
it is is is is is this is a product
22:56
of ideology contest station and that's
22:59
where we have lost the ability to
23:01
do that no we didn't lose it where it was
23:03
taken away basically is
23:05
you is you nothing but
23:08
sort of dysfunction in disengagement mom
23:11
said it's my turn on the us that sony
23:13
like like it's just a little bit about
23:15
columbia me like columbia was always touted as example
23:17
of like says that that that the pinnacle of
23:19
why western hemisphere strong presidential by
23:21
camera states fucking suck because like it was
23:23
constantly and sort internecine conflict
23:26
between it's parties like then you have
23:28
yeah you know post war two era
23:30
you have drug war you have a civil war like
23:33
columbia has been governed by right wing tone
23:35
paramilitaries by right wing parties like
23:37
it's never had a lessening it's
23:39
like honduras was one the country like this but
23:41
but columbia i think was a much more violent
23:43
place in terms of the conflict that was taken place within
23:45
west's under was more like staging
23:47
area for other violent conflicts in central america
23:50
this is huge thing and part this is because
23:52
i see there's been a shift
23:56
in the electorate in latin
23:58
america like a lot more the
24:00
like i think that you don't
24:02
have the sort of the rumor
24:04
moneyed landed class the way that you
24:06
do in into the global
24:09
north in the sense that liked if you look
24:11
at chalet if you look at columbia if you look
24:13
at even it mexico like there just isn't
24:15
this bubble of wealth and sort
24:17
of status the weather is in britain the weather in
24:19
america from it as certainly as a fuckin pews
24:21
income inequality wealth inequality like dog iraq
24:24
but like it's not as generational because
24:26
if it's generation with multigenerational because people
24:28
have the money like have from think as from as much hours
24:30
not answer yeah exactly one
24:32
is mexican guy have a german surname anyone
24:35
has ever and also it's like you know it's
24:37
know it's think that's a link explanation rights
24:39
why do we have this sort of
24:41
this entire class where where
24:43
we have a people the generation
24:46
where that generation kind has class
24:48
element
24:49
because so much of the money
24:51
that was plundered from being able to create stable
24:53
middle class and these countries yeah was moved
24:55
here i had used to create permits or i thought was
24:57
really interesting what what exotic had her said recently
25:00
i think we'd last night he basically said for
25:02
people who were worried we're going overthrow capitalism
25:04
don't worry we still need to overthrow feudalism in
25:06
this country first like a
25:09
genuinely like a is this situation
25:11
me i think this is something specifically about
25:13
brazil and member seems comparison but it's
25:15
true of other countries of the only country
25:17
in latin america that doesn't have this enormous wealth
25:19
inequality disparity is costa rica
25:21
the reason for that is because reagan never had kind
25:23
of like masses plantation former
25:25
convict as it's it's super mountainous like that
25:27
it was poor so like oh the cosa
25:30
rica basically that what you described the earth
25:32
aristocracy that's one hundred percent the case
25:34
and sort of like landed families controlling everything
25:36
and alex has been kind of window dressing on that the
25:39
and i think in brazil particular but
25:41
the columbia similar in this regard like the people who are
25:43
in the upper classes people have a cult standard of living
25:45
comparable to someone living west in
25:47
the western part germany or and in north america
25:50
in mecca america canada but people
25:52
in that the lower class people the poorest services
25:54
as have a as poor conditions
25:56
as anywhere in global south put any were like places
25:58
like ah it's absurd after in
26:00
the poorer parts south asia like it's genuinely
26:02
the disparity brazil's like a rich person
26:04
live like be live in fucking berlin and a poor person lives
26:06
like they live in a like here i
26:08
genuinely it's that bad and so the
26:11
religion is about the only word can think of
26:13
to describe it
26:14
and a it's the to to
26:16
see this i mean it's it is to see
26:18
it you know be able
26:20
to be redressed guess just in
26:23
addition to being a a good thing in
26:25
itself it reminds you that the there
26:27
that so long as you can give you can discover
26:30
and channel your oppositional
26:32
isn't the into an actual
26:35
institution is the give you can
26:37
if you can actually do that than it
26:39
is not is not permissible to give
26:41
up it's just that you just have to you
26:44
just have to keep that flame burning somewhere
26:46
and then we'll have an order to say to that like
26:48
a single political party called the labour
26:50
party britain may not be the vehicle for that but it does suggest
26:53
because they've they've crossed
26:54
the left in britain electorally does not mean that like
26:56
all of us have gone away or that like what believe in his
26:58
gone away it's just that like that vehicle
27:01
has been slowed that vehicle
27:03
has been derailed for the time being
27:06
one one one one one one
27:09
, one one one one one
27:11
one one one
27:15
, one
27:17
one one
27:20
one one one one one one
27:22
one one one one
27:24
one one one one one
27:27
one one one one
27:29
one one one one one
27:32
one one one one
27:34
one one one one
27:36
one one one one one one one
27:38
one one one one
27:41
one one one you know
27:43
you do it look at like anti trans bills and
27:45
all the strands panic don't have a like like anti
27:48
basically a homophobe you just full bore
27:50
homeless the homophobia that i recall from
27:52
growing up in indiana basically like everywhere politics
27:54
now but also incidentally very funny
27:56
if you're one of the like assists
27:58
gay dude so that like
28:00
what if we can see to the
28:02
transfer of and that's just everything they want
28:04
yeah well it's not about the allergy be alliance
28:06
one as smart as they thought yeah
28:08
weird how that works but the the point that point was going
28:10
to make though is that like i also see lots of
28:12
news of a strike action
28:15
and unionization drives and things along those lines
28:17
happening in america and places where we were
28:19
told before that this was impossible and
28:21
companies like amazon and starbucks and
28:23
think that like you can see these counter current
28:25
second place i hope that that winds up being
28:27
the the story of this coming decade and not just like
28:29
capital winning then just fucking you know
28:31
floss dancing on us but like
28:34
i'd use also i don't think you can
28:36
be like will see they have it in latin america they've gotten there
28:38
but we will never get the i think we can
28:40
we went to think this as think we actually have i
28:42
set not we will hit we can i say i've
28:44
been i've the way i think that they get there is
28:46
the if you don't have the it
28:49
the opposition to what's going on kind of floating
28:51
around as an opinion little the
28:53
little sort of i'm a little perfect list
28:55
of opinions keeping your head
28:57
it's that were in is that where there was
28:59
an actual in our case very actual
29:01
conflict me that i have to fucking organize
29:04
while said about imposing the thing
29:06
is what we and what we have organizing
29:08
a what we what we have here more than posting
29:10
and hate posting law what
29:12
we have here in addition to like sued
29:14
unionization drives in the states
29:17
we have a a lot a strike wave
29:19
coming in britain as well
29:21
what appears to a strike waved the also even
29:24
there is there are still places
29:26
where that are
29:28
the opposite manichaean isn't
29:30
can take place where that fight
29:33
can be that direct if i had
29:35
the enemy that's like ontologically evil
29:37
so from i introduce you want to landlords
29:40
since i mean i was thinking about this recently
29:42
having i'm not somebody who typically
29:44
goes to demos i have i
29:46
i i have tommy eggs and anxiety problems
29:49
but got a message that they were there are some was there's
29:51
hundred afford some want to roll someone up you know not
29:54
too far from where live i was on train anyway so i gotta
29:56
train and much of that the action in peckham
29:58
and instead the or front
30:01
of the show and or yada was there we just stood
30:03
front of and with and large group of people of most the
30:05
people who are have there for while we're way further
30:07
ahead in crowd of us we were just there were like fuck ya
30:09
you can't you get you could say unless you can manifest
30:12
all of the cops that you would need to arrest all
30:14
three hundred people are here than fuck you
30:16
you're not giving up replicate pc samples
30:18
learns differently gotta make hundreds of
30:20
as you must become leads and nothing about the
30:22
thing about it is is that like is there were lots
30:24
of people who were there because of organ as campaigns
30:26
groups like lose some anti raids groups
30:28
like stop deportations
30:31
your lot of people who live in neighborhood as a gift
30:33
fuck the cops but what we've this guy alone
30:35
and i think that to me the thing
30:38
that was the biggest take away was the extent
30:40
to which it's just people
30:42
being activated because some it matters to
30:44
them the opportunity existing to be there so
30:46
like i'm not an organizer i
30:48
you hired it's door knocks see a probably
30:50
the wrong guy to do it with my us my beloved
30:52
accent here in america but art resident
30:54
but you can still for jeremy corbyn
30:56
just as much gonna have a proper that was me
30:58
on person into the nineteenth but i'm but
31:01
i using a but if the if the opportunity
31:04
exists if the opportunity involves and
31:06
exists and people feel so that there's a certain
31:08
degree love
31:09
they have confidence that the people that their concerns
31:11
would be addressing that people aren't pulling their leg at
31:13
not like owen smith bullshit you what
31:15
i mean like that genuinely
31:17
can kind of spark things of people and
31:20
most you that i saw that crowd like what is
31:22
locals are to people from around the neighbourhood like people
31:24
live that in that complex people from
31:26
nearby dollars and elsewhere in in in southern
31:28
burrow angela people who just
31:31
as as well as an activist group like just
31:33
didn't wanna fucking see cops with you
31:35
what i mean that he was the cause ruined some guy's life
31:37
or some bullshit and like
31:39
that was how to be suspicious simple flick it
31:41
was just it was such a small felix but
31:44
spa cared that do it and i guess to me it's like
31:46
it's very easy get black hills give us house
31:48
of things seem institutionally in america
31:50
and in britain but like that doesn't mean
31:52
that will is god that doesn't mean that desires gonna
31:54
the that critical mass he was gone it's just that you
31:57
will have to go against
31:59
the
32:00
our of a fucking insane
32:02
press who basically it move if i'm not mistaken
32:04
were on a tirade that the
32:06
older is going to therapy means they turned woke
32:08
up we're , we're gonna keep that in
32:10
or back pocket thou because i do have that
32:12
yeah know what what one thing that occurs to
32:14
me right as the as with the
32:16
as with rwanda's was cancelled
32:18
of the last minute mercilessly
32:21
no one thing ruining lot
32:23
people's holiday affect
32:25
our is a day i'll add lie the lie
32:28
weeded out to one family who were hoping
32:30
for the tip of lifetime to rwanda were
32:32
furious deserved up all
32:34
the coupons from all sun newspaper
32:36
the thing that actually still to the me and with the
32:39
last minute legal challenge to the legal
32:41
challenge courses human rights but there are
32:43
also people lying and road yeah
32:45
of vans and i still like
32:48
all of those things happening at once
32:51
is something that is gonna be a recurring
32:53
feature in said i'm i'm in a drop the lincoln the show
32:55
notes for the fundraising
32:57
for their legal fees because nine people were arrested
32:59
for that like when like was i was in peckham know and
33:01
gotta rest the cops as gave up them they more less
33:04
like some of them it even though they they came in and ruff
33:06
people up and kicked in need people and post woman the
33:08
face afterwards when realize how fucked
33:10
they were they actually like started laughing at taunts
33:12
and like the jokes like they realize how absurd the situation
33:14
they were in was to our whereas in oxford
33:17
like people got fuckin arrested and like are
33:19
being charged with bullshit for standing in front of the line
33:21
done for the van select that's it is is
33:23
that that as know point would make is that like i
33:26
think that eat one of the concerns
33:28
is it i'll offer a lot of people like if it's not
33:30
critical mass people they
33:32
can rounded up in arrested will be and
33:34
so like i kind of wanna help raise awareness
33:36
of that that like there are folks who are now facing
33:38
legal charges rubbing help stop that
33:41
it is it's diversity of tactics know
33:43
it's it's the classic lennon shit you
33:45
do illegal stasi the legal stuff so
33:47
it's he has the most respectable
33:49
from with activism you can have which is going cap
33:51
in hand to courts and saying this
33:53
, this did not like a fucking
33:55
fit with the expressed ah
33:58
purpose of the law know like lesser
34:00
law and also have lying in road that you
34:02
also have what eleanor and saw issues
34:04
are described as a cross punk first
34:06
stayed at demo were in between
34:08
taught in the cops they talked to another very very
34:11
openly and have of the about how hard they gonna suck each
34:13
other later that day and as you know what's
34:15
that i cannot describe a
34:17
thing i respect more than that smokes looking
34:19
like straight out of fucking extras from a frank
34:21
a pretense a movie in two thousand who are
34:24
you such as ready as soon as they could find
34:26
some put his to flock but also in and will only lady
34:28
in hockey clapping by sort ice and perfect
34:30
talking the cops
34:32
it was it was a beautiful thing say that of
34:34
ads on the other one day she right
34:36
you know it's this is this has been
34:38
subsumed into
34:40
them into something that i've
34:42
seen at least several british commentators
34:45
referred to as wedge week and
34:47
, where the tories do our dinner
34:49
i we got out of amusement every
34:51
i smell as sweet as were going put
34:53
old all of this real suffering into the hidden
34:55
that makes politics seem like sports sports
34:58
yes i like the big block of cheese in west
35:01
wing's everybody comes in has a
35:03
real a human social
35:05
issue we figure it out the sort of
35:07
like a interesting bartlett way
35:09
interesting then everything's over
35:11
and problem is pretty pretty but cells
35:13
comments about the chr judgment
35:15
why like you're drill less
35:17
he was like not only do i disagree
35:19
with his judgment by think and suggesting that
35:21
rwanda is not safe country to send people
35:24
to it isn't it's own way racists
35:26
new inside like looking back the crowd
35:28
vs amazon that was the one thing
35:30
is that like a between them between
35:32
all of these actions like i
35:34
don't remember have i
35:37
, secretary seizing and coping
35:39
this much in long one like all
35:41
and also in in the the the perfect the
35:43
perfect sort of horseshoe of this being professional
35:45
crying in my beer down the authenticity pubs
35:48
paul embry fucking was crying about
35:50
how like actually as racist to suggest that rwanda
35:52
yeah it also reflects what what real
35:54
working class communities don't have a tradition
35:56
of resisting the police make no inquiries
35:58
into any of that
36:00
the don't don't take a like the thing is
36:02
it's important to never take any of these people
36:04
at their word obviously because
36:06
what their their whole thing
36:08
there's just get his pay teachers are
36:10
creatures of this spectacle where
36:12
they know that they they know that their role
36:14
in pantomime there's to yeah
36:17
yeah and boo and to see any and
36:19
again to see same i'm it
36:21
but did that but that driving miss pantomime
36:23
is basically an engine that runs
36:26
on humans suffer
36:27
and i may want to drag you into pantomime
36:29
tooth that's why a cop for laugh when
36:31
you start roasting him when he knows he can't win
36:34
is because it's in the funds are now
36:36
pinata but also say that cost is
36:38
laugh at jokes also as having beaten
36:40
the fuck out people and the absolutely
36:42
would do not harder they thought they could have won like
36:44
so it was things was like yeah it's absurd
36:47
but also there is genuine suffering there
36:49
and yes i will say as as as much a throwback
36:51
com it is it is it does seem like pretty patel response
36:53
and this was i'm not mad i'm actually laughing
36:56
but like i firmly believe
36:58
that had had you done when i think the is
37:00
going be said here where they the to take the base
37:02
they're just trying to bait you let them to poor
37:04
people to rwanda like if people had
37:07
tried to enter to intervene be absolute to
37:09
deport people on apple area get still going
37:11
to assume that try any like look at overnight
37:13
producing of all rise i will we the cops and we're going
37:15
to be off we can but it's all still kind of queensberry
37:17
rules like ryokan all know i'm chuckle about
37:20
it in i i think that's what this is this
37:22
is what gets to why i sort of especially
37:24
be concept of wedge week really
37:27
i think up made me quite bit
37:29
angry or inside then sort
37:31
of any other bit of westminster drama
37:33
has because it is is
37:35
it is like like that so much of the
37:37
v westminster way viewing the world is
37:40
a great flattening a sort
37:42
of as of smoothing out into into
37:44
world where you used to be able to pull leavers
37:46
and cause lot more human misery and
37:48
now you can pull way fewer leavers but still
37:51
caused quite bit human misery and
37:53
to see that only in the context
37:55
of the little lights it lights up on your
37:57
console of who's happy and who's matt the
38:00
that the fucking disgusting confidence
38:02
of at like the assumption that none
38:04
of these wedges will ever affects you
38:06
right but it's you can just sit here your quality
38:09
of living is gonna remain exactly the same
38:11
and this goes on outside your window in your totally
38:14
insulated from it is as
38:16
and it's and it's i say that
38:19
all of all of these people the are everyone
38:22
behind wedge week all of politicians
38:24
all of the all of these auditory strategists
38:27
and their little friends in the media all
38:29
of them are going to go and visit oh cyrus
38:32
at the end their lives they're going to ask to cross
38:34
into the field of reads and then oh
38:36
cyrus is going to weigh their heart and are going
38:38
to be devoured by the crocodile yeah they're
38:40
going be on into crocodile there are
38:42
certainly more than a feather and they will
38:44
not be allowed go to heaven yeah that's that's
38:46
true if if you write one of these things about
38:49
a how you know awoke lefty
38:51
lawyers stuffing us from securing our borders
38:53
or whatever i'm at the devours coming
38:55
for your hearts re rally could you could you explain
38:57
what they mean by wage week i think i know
38:59
but like i just for our listeners and also for my
39:01
own clarity i presume they
39:04
mean that they're trying hail mary
39:06
shit that they are at with
39:08
the referring the idea of wedge issue
39:10
course yeah yeah the idea that so it's
39:12
the i'm it's way wedge week
39:14
is the plan which is to plan unilaterally
39:16
blake the break the northern ireland protocol to
39:19
send the deport deportation flight rwanda
39:21
ought to have the i'm so how to
39:23
sort of go to war against the union the
39:25
thing that that the to thirty percent
39:28
of of british people the who
39:30
have been condition to
39:32
shoot their own grandmother of the telegraph said
39:34
so those people this
39:36
is just if the idea is just red meat
39:38
for all of them so basically we're going to activate
39:40
the tory had bangers by doing bsc
39:43
thatcherism very quickly
39:45
yet it anytime anyone gets mad at us
39:47
boris johnson calls as alinsky yeah
39:51
, you can't you can't saw me i'm a dancing
39:53
i'm talking with the like he had be mad me and
39:57
so it it's but it's think it's the that
39:59
i just like this is this of the
40:01
me everything we've been talking about last forty minute all
40:03
sort of pies intimately together
40:06
right which is the experience of
40:08
politics as nothing but this
40:10
slot spectacle which
40:12
is sort of what we have been condemned
40:14
to in in western europe and north america
40:18
means that these the
40:20
actual be actual of things
40:22
that you are doing the the
40:24
deportation of some of the most don't your world's
40:27
most vulnerable people who can lay him for
40:29
what it's worth legally be here who have legal
40:31
claim to asylum the
40:33
rwanda they get in or intend
40:35
to say well this is humanitarians you can't
40:37
get mad at us because we're trying to start the people smugglers
40:39
and having a total inability
40:41
to have lies or in unwillingness metabolism
40:44
that to information that that is all a kind
40:46
of into deeply interconnected
40:48
with that flatness is the ability to do it me
40:50
ability to sell it and the ability to say that
40:52
anyone who says otherwise is being racist
40:55
because fundamentally it treats
40:57
these things is pretty unimportant and
40:59
what's more important is that i get my fancy job
41:01
for life or that i'm a newspaper
41:03
editor and that i make sure that i'm invited to the garden
41:05
parties and that it's all just this
41:08
it is it's i tip of the image that so keep
41:10
replaying in my head is the
41:13
it is that of a a
41:16
group of group of of friends who are meeting
41:19
anyhow and who are always going to what does this
41:21
houses for social events but the tires
41:23
on their cars are made of people only
41:26
so you're saying the a hot air balloon
41:28
shouldn't look like a black person
41:30
oh okay over ,
41:32
real equal opportunities of you may
41:34
arise and and see that i've this is
41:36
a this is sort of where have you contrast
41:39
the sort of v slackness of everything
41:41
is impossible so we're just going
41:43
to kind of have fun with have
41:45
fun per and and play the role
41:48
of politics will still doing actual
41:50
politics it's just all that can
41:52
happen is the things that cause
41:54
the dopa mean spike it
41:56
and it but nothing that ten hold
41:59
any kind of
42:00
the material transformation in the way
42:02
that living have live in illinois or
42:04
we can do the unthinkable i
42:06
also think that something that's interesting to me
42:08
as extent to which there's this incredible
42:10
timidity on part of the labour party under
42:12
his current leadership
42:14
by which mean that they are unwilling
42:16
even when it's you can look at polling
42:18
of everyone decides hardcore tory
42:21
voters who will never virgo
42:23
for you everyone else in polling
42:25
has reacted to the rwanda
42:27
deportation policy in negatively like
42:30
to large degree like ah
42:32
in most cases majorities in some cases throughout
42:34
his arm but like it's
42:37
very unpopular aside from with twenty
42:39
nineteen tory voters who you know we know are
42:41
you know the sort of fucking an
42:43
iron bloodless heart of particles
42:46
country so like you have activated
42:48
people vote to space is pretty low this country turn
42:50
us below this country if you are going electrodes and
42:52
routes you know there is and are you to
42:54
me that this part policy is unpopular
42:56
and one the reasons why some popular is because it's
42:58
so fundamentally on it's face
43:00
immoral is so obviously
43:02
wrong it's so obviously cruel for
43:04
no reason at all and think
43:06
the thing i think that committee is that labour party refuses
43:09
to ever address that there could be such
43:11
a thing is a moral dimension in politics
43:13
now they feel it feels to me like they've
43:16
gotten briefing advice from the dumbest mother
43:18
fucker on the planet basically said
43:20
like don't ever talk about stuff and moral dimensions
43:22
because that's woke something like you know the rebels
43:25
like deception the the only time
43:27
the zoc about morality is boris johnson
43:29
going to posses they should have gone
43:31
to that's dishonorable are you not
43:33
oil real i'll as much as i met this man
43:35
is this this isn't this isn't dishonorable
43:38
going to a party a dishonorable but nothing
43:40
they was it wasn't dishonorable he wasn't that was immoral
43:42
they never see didn't taught in my opinion they didn't
43:44
talk about immoral trump's they talked about terms
43:46
of that's not right broke
43:49
the rules like it was this fucking
43:51
hall monitor shit about less will the rules
43:53
the rules and that's how they set their own fucking traps
43:55
because they were breaking rules as as
43:57
anybody else was and think we're you
44:00
happened some of incredibly unfair and uneven
44:02
application to be of lockdown rules for example
44:04
people getting hundred two hundred five hundred pounds fine
44:06
for smoking cigarette outside can shit like some
44:08
lessons grazie stories that came out of be
44:10
has been fucking victimize for no reason
44:13
and
44:14
in what's are at work in consistently
44:17
apply the rule was across the country like
44:19
you would have some traction but but to basically
44:21
like what he broke the rules and that's the problems
44:23
like
44:24
who did you guys in you knew that you knew it was stupid
44:26
and you did it anyway elect whoever is briefly steeples a
44:28
fucking idiots and as regards rwanda
44:30
some these other the v or parker posey
44:32
total failure during the cost of living i
44:34
think this is it really drives nuts is that like they
44:37
could make headway they could a say
44:39
it's wrong and be say here's what we got we the thing
44:41
we will do to stop it and they refused
44:43
and that's the that isis is is well
44:45
i'm not associate that's gonna like this one weird
44:47
trick will fix the fucked up british media some i
44:49
still think that you can try you can
44:51
try to frame things that were people who believe
44:53
in you and there it seems like their argument like you
44:55
said this before the show rally
44:57
seems like they're end stage plan
44:59
is to make it so fucking
45:02
indistinguishable from anything else in
45:04
hopes it drives down voter
45:07
turnout so low that they can win the
45:09
election because two people vote labour in one person
45:11
vote tory like , it well
45:13
think the like both both parties in this country
45:15
so say populism because they both
45:17
sides of british public completely fucking insane
45:20
and i are talking to front of the sophie roy
45:22
about this the other night about how interesting figure
45:24
piers morgan is because he likes
45:27
weirdly popular but as he sought looking into
45:29
various views piers morgan as express
45:31
that all over the place he's like
45:33
dot he's got like some really react me right
45:35
wing views he doesn't weirdly leftwing
45:37
v sprinkled in math see like
45:39
piers morgan is the most populous
45:41
guy in britain and everyone says this by
45:44
baby with i honestly if someone ran for
45:46
of for him like for government on platform
45:48
of save the nhs hang the p those
45:50
they'd be prime minister for twenty five the his adding
45:53
that require an hour or so think countries
45:55
like the of our i do want to move
45:57
on from this on sec but think that the thing to
45:59
remember that because
46:01
his think this is a symptom in many ways
46:03
of our centralization it's something has happened in american
46:05
television over the last several years
46:07
the of us are several decades rather but
46:09
that's been sort so based in
46:11
to just the weights britain the geography
46:14
the rocks in dirt of this country
46:16
is the extreme centralization
46:18
of everything enlightened earth
46:21
yeah think that you can be and the fact
46:23
is in in the fact is that most
46:25
people's experience of living in britain is
46:27
filtered through some what
46:29
what someone in london thinks that they should
46:31
be thinking out there yorkshire into
46:33
there is this
46:34
there is this boomerang effect
46:36
that i think amplifies the madness
46:39
expert but when we say it you should thinking
46:41
about yorkshire yeah atlanta we were doing
46:43
we were they had that's different as difference not top down
46:45
this is imperfect a common sense because so
46:47
many of us aren't actually from britain that is yours
46:49
is decentralized on caused the design
46:51
kira name is on the block i hate speech necklace
46:53
and will take the gloves decentralized out of
46:55
london because of me he i'm taking
46:57
the average out of the out of london
46:59
i wanted wanted speak a little more about see centralization
47:02
though because if you if we think about you know well
47:04
what does seem what doesn't government do right
47:06
we've established so much of and
47:08
again just that's thrown so much into
47:11
in
47:11
him into great relief by sort of seeing
47:13
of events of a recent weeks
47:16
on fourth of but the
47:18
ads and then seeing what can and can't do
47:20
and then see also then other with way with
47:22
can have material impacts on the world
47:25
is of course with you give a comically
47:27
small amounts of money to a tory minister
47:29
and emphasize that they
47:31
owe you zero your zero your their lives
47:33
that if you give tory minister fifteen
47:36
pounds we take bullet for you access to
47:38
tiny room with very small furniture
47:40
and and designed for very small people from basically
47:42
this is this a all things that been revealed recently
47:45
but i saw this in an
47:47
investment week recently
47:49
is that the uae for wedge we've
47:52
the uk treasury
47:53
wants to like give
47:55
the bank of england authority to address
47:58
collapsed stable coins say register
48:00
the here
48:00
oh god i'm going
48:03
, decentralized currency be registered
48:05
in one country doesn't make any so
48:08
basically they're like look they're what
48:10
it
48:11
what if we can would have
48:13
the bank of england to take responsibility to
48:15
manage the orderly collapse of us
48:17
dying stable coins like how they did that
48:19
with banks in two thousand eight lads by
48:21
the business if there is one country it's
48:23
extremely good at man is decline
48:26
it is the united kingdom so i guess where world
48:28
beating in that regard the
48:30
bakery said look the failure of assists of a
48:33
they they they publish that this paper the treasure
48:35
this app failure of assist other systemically
48:37
important stable point suppose wide range
48:39
of financial stability as well as consumer protection
48:42
impact it means you course we should
48:44
a backstop it but here's here's the thing right like
48:46
i realize that the people been taken for i finish and
48:48
as sucks people got know they they bet the house in
48:50
last because like you know people buy
48:52
into scams of time there are human
48:54
stories this that very sad knife i've raised
48:56
that point on this show before that like
48:58
don't lose so the fact that there is a lot of suffering involved
49:00
but when it comes to the actual like fundamentals
49:03
keeping these coins solvent it's
49:06
nerds shit it's fucking nerd see
49:08
an abundant marks or a
49:10
bunch of fucking scammers like it's not
49:12
my problem leno willed none
49:14
because of if the bank of
49:16
england decides that well we
49:18
are now responsible for the orderly unwinding
49:20
of of the stable coin guess who's problem
49:22
at it a sort joy is the is it like that's why
49:24
i'm saying should not do this because for now
49:26
it just exists on some losers computers
49:29
but if it becomes real than it's my problem
49:31
here's the thing though that that this
49:33
is this does one way looking at it
49:36
but have you considered that christopher
49:38
har born who's a big clipped lobbyist
49:40
gave five hundred thousand pounds to the conservatives
49:43
are before they said that the database assume
49:45
i would see play
49:47
like i'd in political terms
49:49
that seems like it's nothing
49:51
jessica where it like
49:53
it and into thing is already right we
49:55
are living in one tiny
49:58
zaki chair and
50:00
this we have agreed to dynamite
50:02
or own economy the a buying
50:04
matt hancock and nine days and selling
50:06
and has a something nice about i mean like might
50:08
milo milo made the joke with me another lawyer
50:10
that if you if you break up with your partner
50:13
than you encounter them down the road they've gotten lot
50:15
hard hotter than it's same sensation is
50:17
the guy who had laptop full of thousand bitcoins
50:19
that he threw away it's in dumpster somewhere and
50:21
it's like but thousand bitcoin at peak would a
50:23
lot more money than what the sky was
50:25
being given my hundred percent that is the tories
50:28
this point they're not even getting bribed the getting
50:30
nonce to the gang ball on the zone or
50:33
or , want to go to the zoo as
50:35
out there like this except
50:37
for singer crypto guy in headlock
50:39
and then you know walking into the police
50:41
station but making observe the minutes silent
50:43
answer minutes have answer better respect right the
50:47
so you're going on a date with the conservative
50:49
party but you're actually on a date with
50:51
me and big day of can
50:54
walk into without is
50:56
a thing rights v rights v
50:58
the crypto crash right
51:01
essentially if you replace florida
51:04
real estate the bitcoin
51:06
it has been pretty much identical to
51:08
the two thousand eight thousand seven financial crisis
51:10
the
51:11
much as what happened is the entire
51:13
decentralized violence ecosystem basically
51:16
like a series of the
51:18
banks that could do interbank lending
51:20
is he various kinds like a good
51:22
stable coins of you that that had reserves
51:24
or didn't and then
51:26
a bunch of insurers that would ensure the various
51:29
like interbank transactions of these people
51:31
against losses what they did was they bill
51:33
pretty much from first prints from almost
51:35
first the the
51:37
just created organically pretty
51:40
much a one for one copy of
51:42
the financial system actually
51:44
the only difference was the it's tendrils
51:46
really didn't touch the real economy that
51:48
much they started to right
51:51
where we talked about before the show were like lots
51:53
of were the large
51:55
pension funds or in arcade at
51:57
will invest in in crypto or like
52:00
national banks will one a backstop a stable
52:02
coin projects after that the
52:04
whole thing is falling apart yeah mean got
52:06
i got little pop a better a
52:08
push notification from one of the
52:11
online banks that i use when i initially came to this
52:13
country and had to like registers a freelancer
52:15
and don't really use anymore but got my count open just
52:17
in case and they were like use our
52:19
app now to invest crypto and i was like yesterday
52:22
yeah don't think most of my now now
52:25
the moment you want to tell the
52:27
me ma'am like you're basically like guys
52:29
got a great deal of bear stearns in october
52:31
two thousand and eight it's like getting
52:33
around getting around scheme after
52:35
everyone has already declassify spiking
52:37
bear stearns physical stock certificates
52:39
two thousand and yeah exactly like hey either
52:42
the what good on this ponzi scheme is by a guy
52:44
whose last name is in my it is i
52:46
use gonna buy you gotta buy these certificates from
52:48
guy his last name is ponzi he's in jail
52:50
right now justify i go but
52:52
but the thing is right we created this system
52:54
of interbank lending entrance and like
52:57
it's at it and insurance and this rights that
52:59
all existed and all of these token
53:01
booth back and forth and providing liquidity and all sorts
53:03
in all sorts but really most of what
53:05
was to do they didn't invest
53:07
in bitcoin which wouldn't say we've got
53:09
some of so we have more collateral so we can
53:11
print more of our things comes pumping more
53:14
units into the system of interbank
53:16
lending then then
53:18
the value of bitcoin kept going up because bitcoin
53:20
is like the real estate this case the
53:22
just you know it no one can accidentally live
53:25
in it it's not a useful at all and
53:28
and then what happened was simpli
53:30
as that the rates go up little bit and
53:33
then all of a sudden some people start wanting
53:35
their money back and then once one
53:37
person too many as for their money back than all
53:39
of sudden everyone's all calling
53:41
in all their loans all at once and when
53:43
the value of the asset the of bitcoin
53:45
specifically goes down far enough just like
53:47
that when value florida real estate went down
53:49
far enough that's the music stopping
53:51
and that all of those loan coming due at
53:54
one and we end it's so strange
53:56
to see like the already big crypto
53:58
hedge funds that are completely falling apart like
54:00
three arrows capital right it at
54:02
the singapore based one that were that coined
54:04
the phrase super cycle because it's
54:06
have started by guy called out as you i
54:09
was really confused for second there but okay
54:11
the and then i came close
54:13
their burton butler it but that's that's
54:15
quite bit let's little bit like the bear stearns
54:18
collapse and then we enter the
54:20
collapse of the exchanges is if it is
54:22
is or a similar as well and the collapse the price bitcoin
54:24
is as goes down right the
54:27
valley the as it goes down value
54:29
they all of sudden if you got loans against
54:31
that you need post more collateral and so
54:33
all of the loans have all falling apart all
54:35
once have i find so amusing is we
54:37
went in a buried of about five years
54:40
or so the inventing
54:42
central banking to having
54:44
the two thousand and eight crisis
54:46
first as far as second this
54:48
fast but much quicker i
54:50
really really do enjoy nice
54:52
game of jenga but i don't wanna live in an
54:54
entire civilization jenga blocks
54:56
and it does feel that way sometimes that like
54:59
i just i would love to own a home that live
55:01
in ah way way way beyond jenga blocks
55:03
this is fully cup lungs thera little rods
55:05
were little balls balanced on the road is
55:07
one rotting where are thou yeah but
55:09
that's the us to figure out what i wonder
55:11
right is how much
55:14
for it to actual productive
55:17
how much productivity how much a p
55:19
m how much people's lives were saved
55:21
by the fact that this didn't last
55:23
another six months and wasn't
55:25
able to warm it's way further into the real
55:28
economy
55:29
what if what if this last another six months
55:31
what if the bank of england said will
55:33
handle the under the of the unwinding
55:35
of terror luna at how much worse
55:38
could it have been it is good for
55:40
this grenade oneself before we are able
55:42
throw ourselves on to it assign
55:45
yeah i it's as it's it's like thank
55:47
god thank god for the crypto crass because
55:50
it could have been the or at least
55:52
presumably could have been so
55:54
much worse because there
55:57
in in the all right now in
55:59
in the u s one one
56:01
one one one one one
56:03
one one one one one
56:06
one one one one one
56:08
one one one the uk
56:11
is just desperate to do it they can i think it goes
56:13
back to i think a lot of it
56:15
goes back to that slot because
56:17
when there's nothing else is
56:19
possible by the didn't have
56:21
the only thing that does anything which is
56:23
people doing things together by
56:25
the use of you by the direction of
56:27
their labor which is directed by politics the
56:31
only thing you can do is hope that
56:33
helpful wizard will com and just
56:35
kind of make everything better without you having
56:37
to do anything mr hancock why you wearing
56:39
that wizard hat and hr rarely can
56:41
i ask you a question is the the the or the oracle
56:43
the man who understands money yes do
56:46
you think that the central banks and
56:48
general and specifically in britain
56:50
you think that they want get in on this because
56:53
they think number one that they think you
56:55
could they could actually levers it for profit
56:57
they believe in it and do you think that
57:00
they do it because there's sense of sort
57:02
of the eating to keep up with the joneses
57:04
with every other fucking moron it just becomes like snowball
57:07
effect the you think that they do
57:09
because they know it's gonna fucking implode this
57:11
an excuse to austerity like
57:13
why do i did the mentality of people
57:15
who like have entire departments about fucking
57:17
risk management why do they offer
57:19
this stupid shit like it's
57:21
just seems as though is if anyone anyone
57:23
who knows anything about anything at all me
57:25
comic book is bliss but this doesn't have an actual
57:28
sparking use it's like stocks for
57:30
companies that don't exist stance
57:32
exists that to never exist purely
57:34
for the source going up with was nothing it's
57:36
fucking icon it's a
57:39
year and guy has way to pass swarthy
57:41
so much more than that i that i that
57:43
with her
57:44
the answer your question or it's not central
57:47
banks that love it central banks are very
57:49
are generally pretty skeptical of
57:51
the more usually a
57:53
it's that
57:54
for the treasury loves it okay
57:56
because to the to because to to
57:58
got to to sort of
58:00
three politicians what crypto represents is
58:02
way to materially in increase
58:04
the freedom and well being of
58:06
the people who they are supposed to dole out for
58:09
human well being to right without
58:11
them having to do anything it's like manna from
58:13
heaven to through still to me the only argument
58:15
could possibly see is typically like well we
58:17
know it's kind of they some bullshit that as long as the
58:19
musical chairs fucking moving up smoky buy
58:21
into the hype that that much more revenue we make
58:23
and capital gains taxes because people are up against
58:25
the pants other than that i cannot
58:27
see if you were because we'd like to instagram
58:29
store tories law these people are fundamentally
58:32
stupid like i just like this sounds
58:34
good disease fucking magic beans
58:36
like mississippi recipes could be a
58:38
been you could have a single
58:40
be it's this might sprout if you're lucky
58:42
if probably just a fucking navy been you might have
58:44
a speedo one one millionth of soup
58:47
when it fucking sprouts with that's more than
58:49
crypto but i what i'm hearing is as
58:51
these beans are magic night i've
58:53
i've never seen your relaxation vein
58:55
before ivanovic on
58:57
miliband on miliband reader the answer to
58:59
this is partly that the reason
59:01
that you're sitting here are at this
59:03
table and they're sitting in treasury
59:06
is that they believe the fundamental
59:08
theory
59:09
say crypto in bitcoin which is that
59:12
if only we get enough transactions
59:14
happening right to that's the prop member the promise
59:16
web three look and
59:19
oh you're engaging a lot transactions
59:21
when you go see browse the internet right twitter
59:23
is taking your personal information and you're getting to you
59:25
know that post what you had for lunch
59:27
the the thing we
59:29
want to make those transactions
59:32
much more front and center and much more obvious
59:34
because you're going have out any crypto
59:36
based world leaders three world
59:38
whatever or or whatever other aeration
59:40
of the crypto promise it was you're going to have
59:42
materially more freedom because
59:44
all the transactions you enter into
59:46
with other people are going be denominated in
59:48
kind of money so you can value
59:51
how much gonna pay to post your lunch how
59:54
much you're going to pay to post your lunch at peak time for
59:56
example and then the idea the and
59:58
this yet i think they have to really believe this
1:00:00
to get into that situation right that
1:00:02
they can say we're going to maximize
1:00:05
everybody's well being because everyone
1:00:07
will have agreed to to
1:00:09
extreme some kind of as a
1:00:12
medium of of of value right
1:00:14
in order to do everything that they're
1:00:16
doing there will be anything outside that
1:00:18
world
1:00:19
that into them that is a
1:00:21
state that it's like a freeway
1:00:24
the materially increase freedom and also
1:00:26
to decrease the role of institute
1:00:29
i think that a lot of the austerity freaks
1:00:32
love crypto because it says
1:00:34
we can finally get rid of everything
1:00:36
but the costs because all
1:00:38
of the other things won't have be administered by people
1:00:40
were just going to have the code and then you
1:00:43
can vote to change code base and how much money you
1:00:45
have an i simply after receiving
1:00:47
billions of dollars of what feels like the
1:00:49
world's most manic timeshare
1:00:51
pits simply can only respond
1:00:53
this by saying i think be doing that
1:00:56
like i cannot imagine
1:00:58
that imagine am the only person only planet earth he feels
1:01:00
that way for it so investors on edge
1:01:03
also trying some things that colombian investors
1:01:05
that i'm i'm not not not my thing
1:01:08
is right it's that there over
1:01:10
there was this mad dash to integrate
1:01:12
this into the state for couple of
1:01:14
reasons yeah partly the reason is i explained
1:01:17
that lot of the treasury people genuinely believe
1:01:19
that and the art the one
1:01:21
the other reasons as well is that
1:01:23
the last big sort of wave
1:01:26
or what felt like the last big wave tech
1:01:28
innovation suits against came out of the central
1:01:30
bank basic human rights that
1:01:32
last that that thing that that
1:01:34
were the appearance of say being
1:01:36
a consumer was visibly changed the
1:01:38
government has governments have been wrangling
1:01:40
with that for the last basically
1:01:43
twelve years and they've never really been able
1:01:45
try to capture what seemed to be the lightning
1:01:47
in the bottle that like uber and netflix
1:01:50
were able to capture right because
1:01:52
even now you know the m i t i believe
1:01:54
most recent version of this what it
1:01:56
was claimed that the nhs should
1:01:58
learn lessons from netflix
1:02:00
which i guess means they need to make spence
1:02:02
the confidential yeah that's what
1:02:04
i presume they mean by that one
1:02:06
that five , waiting
1:02:08
list my golden i'm surgery u
1:02:11
c l a h hospital pantomimes
1:02:13
spencer confidential christmas
1:02:15
why sorry we can't give you the
1:02:17
pussy but we can give you mark wahlberg
1:02:20
we can get chrissy teigen is here to consult
1:02:22
i was just trying to fucking transition i came
1:02:25
out of the hospital hospital
1:02:27
mean the mark wahlberg his ass know i'm
1:02:29
walking upstairs puck [unk] roulette
1:02:32
i really [unk] roulette want to see this netflix
1:02:34
by opening about bob mark wahlberg
1:02:36
cat or yeah oh
1:02:39
thanks , learn on the other even know
1:02:41
what what told the sexual
1:02:44
proclivities i'm not going
1:02:46
spend any more time on it isn't the gods
1:02:49
three people have been doing the bases by crocodiles
1:02:51
north queensland so this north queensland is what it
1:02:53
was such a download oh yeah
1:02:57
he's taken his blood go sajid javid
1:02:59
says the nhs is quote like blockbuster
1:03:01
in the age of netflix
1:03:04
what means is why catholics in the age
1:03:06
of never but what that actually
1:03:09
means right that
1:03:10
they're there it feels as though
1:03:12
there have been these massive changes
1:03:14
in how most people live their lives that
1:03:17
the state because of yeah i get
1:03:19
lot of reasons we discuss chronic underinvestment
1:03:21
it also just not no one in charge
1:03:23
really has good theory what the state should really
1:03:25
do the has been sort
1:03:27
of has felt unable to keep up if
1:03:29
will so whereas
1:03:32
whereas the spent from like gonna two thousand
1:03:34
and ten two thousand and
1:03:36
nineteen sort of humming and hiring
1:03:38
about how they're going to incorporate the insights
1:03:40
of cooper into like a
1:03:42
dwp or whatever the
1:03:45
crypto offers a offers them think
1:03:48
the chance to alberta government
1:03:50
much more directly involved and
1:03:52
to try to and to try to get
1:03:55
it's ready to try to get ahead of it but
1:03:57
the difference is is that no
1:04:00
i didn't the last version of the economy it did
1:04:02
the form of function now that
1:04:04
function was in many cases very bad
1:04:06
that function was in many cases to do
1:04:08
things like depressed wages strip rights
1:04:11
and so on and so on but they told me
1:04:13
whether or not you agree with it it did act
1:04:15
on the world in meaningful way and
1:04:17
deliver them vehicles is exactly
1:04:20
and the difference is is that what they're
1:04:22
trying to jump in front of and claim
1:04:32
the say oh this is the next wave of that
1:04:34
so they basically they
1:04:36
tried this and will we can get in on this time really
1:04:39
have you ever heard of game called drug course
1:04:42
i not alice have you heard of it
1:04:44
rings a bell the my lawyer me yeah
1:04:46
and impervious pleasant calculate yeah drug
1:04:48
wars as a gay attacks game you could play on the t i
1:04:50
eighty three calculator it somehow a graphing
1:04:53
calculator it it's it's been ported
1:04:55
to some sweaty on whole amount his plight but
1:04:57
for artists ha ha ha drug
1:05:00
wars posits a deranged
1:05:02
sort of fantasy version of new york city
1:05:04
which are you can take
1:05:06
the subway between that multiple boroughs
1:05:08
of york city which are the bronx
1:05:11
central park and hatton ghetto
1:05:14
brooklyn and queens i didn't realize
1:05:16
that ghetto a bureau
1:05:18
york city and the people live
1:05:20
in central park exactly mean you can
1:05:22
bought you can buy to even drugs the squirrels
1:05:24
in every in every a in every borough
1:05:26
a unofficial and otherwise you can
1:05:28
buy drugs or sell or different prices and you
1:05:30
can acquire them and their travels their boroughs
1:05:32
where prices maybe up or down depending on the situation
1:05:35
things like for example the pigs are selling
1:05:37
cheap speed is one of them for example you can buy
1:05:39
speed from the cops or you can turn around
1:05:41
and then sell really fast really somewhere else
1:05:43
similarly with cocaine heroin crack
1:05:46
marijuana etc however have
1:05:48
gotten it stop you does a random chance to suck
1:05:50
cause might stop you in your feet fight them with a gun
1:05:52
if you have one or you can run you get arrested use
1:05:54
all your drugs your money surface zero and
1:05:57
i feel as though that is
1:06:00
we use case i can think of because
1:06:02
drug wars posits a problem which
1:06:04
is if you're running around selling drugs and person
1:06:07
outside stop you might lose all your money whereas
1:06:09
if you can
1:06:10
anonymously sell drugs on dark web using crypto
1:06:13
and do small transactions cause i can't imagine
1:06:15
you want to risk shipping a kilogram
1:06:17
of cocaine through the post you know anonymously
1:06:19
if that'd make you very nervous to go up against
1:06:21
the federal law enforcement agency with the ninety
1:06:23
nine percent conviction rate exactly you don't
1:06:25
want do that but small small drug shipments
1:06:28
that makes sense that's the only use
1:06:30
case i can think of or crypto where i'm like i understand
1:06:33
why people use it anonymous currency
1:06:35
anonymous transactions
1:06:37
know cryptography to scramble your addresses
1:06:40
that makes sense the rest this it
1:06:42
genuinely feels like everyone
1:06:44
thinks theory and on a joke and no
1:06:46
one knows what the actual joke is what
1:06:48
the actual joke is that all
1:06:50
