| 0:00.0 | Radlib for short, Radical liberation is my channel. |
| 0:21.7 | Cool. Thanks for coming in. Just to let people know, it is Monday the 4th of May in the year of our law, 2026. And it's been about four years since I was in England. Really? Good to be back, yeah. Okay, cool, yeah. You're recalling that you'd met me when I was here last time. Yeah, you spoke at a Witten or Shieldings once. |
| 0:37.9 | You was the only person to get a standing ovation, I remember. Yep. Yeah, I was kind of amazed. Remarkable. No, it was great. It was a really, really interesting talk. It was arguably, I would say, the best talk is. So if people who might not have heard of you, you're sort of one of the more, I would say one of the more eminent people and like the dissident right. |
| 0:39.6 | I've just been around, I think, is heard of you. You're sort of one of the more, I would say one of the more eminent people, like the dissident right? |
| 0:39.3 | I've just been around, I think, is part of it. |
| 0:41.3 | Tell us about you, yeah, a bit of your background, who you are, if people might not have ever heard of you. |
| 0:46.3 | Yeah, so I got interested in political matters 30 years ago or something like that, a friend got me interested in libertarian |
| 0:56.2 | ideas. And then I just kind of kept digging from there, reading history, reading political |
| 1:01.5 | philosophy, legal philosophy, I mean, all kinds of stuff, right? And then eventually, and I was |
| 1:06.2 | writing articles back then. But then I had eight children. That's the thing everybody needs to know |
| 1:10.3 | about me. Eight. |
| 1:11.6 | Eight. Yes, sir. |
| 1:12.6 | You didn't pronounce, like, it's eight. |
| 1:14.6 | I was just in Italy, Ocho. |
| 1:16.6 | Okay. Right. So we had eight children, so I kind of dropped out for a while. |
| 1:21.6 | So I feel like my political life has had two phases, you know. One, I was writing basically 20 years ago or whatever. And then I came |
| 1:29.9 | back, you know, the children got to the point where they weren't all babies. And I started to think |
| 1:34.2 | about getting re-engaged. And I was like, oh, YouTube's pretty interesting. I saw Carl Benjamin, for |
| 1:39.4 | example, et cetera. And I was like, oh, there's a really interesting conversation going on there. So I started a little channel with the help of academic agent. He had me on as a guest enough that people knew me so that when I started a channel, I solved the major problem with having a YouTube channel, which is having more than five followers. Right, yeah. Getting off the ground is the hardest bit of it. Anyone out there wants to do a channel, I'm going to do a channel one day. Right. Yeah, good luck getting to like the first thousand. Exactly. First 5,000. I got my first thousand like instantly. Right, cool, cool. So I have a small channel. And I, in fact, since you're kind of the history guy, right, I should say I a lot of what I do |
| 2:19.0 | really is history at this point it's more recent history sometimes for example |
| 2:24.6 | a recent series on my channel was about the US and Israel relationship |
| 2:28.6 | which it turns out now was very timely right everybody's thinking about it |
