	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 29th of April 2021.
	I'm joined by Carl, and today we're going to be talking about Joe Biden's speech about his first 100 days in office, the Republican response to it, which is that wokeness is cancer and needs to die, and the Democrat response to it, which is that wokeness is cancer and needs to die, which I wasn't expecting, that kind of bipartisan support.
	But okay, good.
	Good to see.
	So, before we get into it, I just want to shill some of the stuff we have on the website.
	So, first thing here is just the March for Freedom, which me and Johnny went down to and filmed.
	And we've put together just a short, abridged version of the march so people can see what went on, what the people there's opinions were, because the mainstream didn't cover it at all.
	I mean, they actively suppressed it.
	So, that's on the site.
	Go and check that out.
	We also have loads of premium content coming out at the moment.
	We've got quite a few interviews coming up.
	The Calvin Robinson...
	So we've done interviews with Calvin Robinson, Richard Tice, and Sebastian Gorka, which will all be premium, apart from the Richard Tice one, I believe, but we'll put clips out on the various social media platforms so you can see whether you like the sound of those and you want to hear more.
	Myself and Bo Dade have also begun the History with the Lotus Eater series, but it's just a personal fetish of mine, just talking about history for an hour or two and then putting it up on YouTube and then So it's an excuse, really, but it's going to be really good content.
	The first one is going to be exploring the journey of Hanno the Navigator.
	Who began at Carthage, which is Tunisia, and sailed all the way around until he got to the Congo.
	And the story of his epic adventure, it's awesome.
	I love it.
	Yeah, like 200 BC or something?
	No, 600 BC. Yeah, ridiculously early for his time.
	Yeah, it takes 30,000 people and goes 10,000 miles.
	It's amazing.
	It's absolutely an amazing story.
	And it'll be up in the next few days, I imagine.
	And yeah, it's just great stuff.
	I'm looking forward to it.
	Yeah.
	So loads of content cards.
	And we've got an interview with David Curtin this afternoon, so, you know, we've got loads going on.
	Yeah, anyway, without further ado, let's get right...
	No, I can't...
	I've got to stop stealing the meme, but...
	The meme!
	It's Keemstar's intro that you keep stealing.
	It's a funny intro.
	It is a funny intro.
	But that's why it's his and not ours.
	Anyway, let's begin the news.
	See, that's not as good.
	Anyway, let's get on with it.
	That's Joe Biden's speech.
	Tell me about what he had to say, because I had no interest.
	Yeah, well, this...
	I would call Joe Biden's speech his we the government speech.
	And I would strongly recommend that all of the Republicans and conservatives call it that as well, because that's exactly what it is.
	And so the whole point of this speech is to mark his first hundred days and essentially lay out what he views as the kind of ethos of government, right?
	And this is, as you will see, the complete opposite ethos of the Republican view of government.
	As in, government should be the neutral, night watchman arbiter of society that enforces contracts, protects property, and secures the borders.
	Instead, Joe Biden thinks that he should have an ethical government.
	And I'm using that word specifically to harken back to Giovanni Gentili slash Benito Mussolini's view of government, which is that they should have an ethical state that deals with all aspects of a person's life.
	Joe Biden is really not very different in this particular view.
	I guess he's just a little more progressive than Mussolini was.
	Anyway, let's begin with the first clip.
	A mass vaccination center in Glendale, Arizona.
	I asked the nurse, I said, what's it like?
	She looked at me and she said, it's like every shot is giving a dose of hope, was her phrase, a dose of hope.
	Every vaccine is a dose of hope.
	Such cringe.
	I hate it.
	I hate everything about it.
	It's such fake idealism.
	No one said that.
	No one believes that.
	It's just, here's a vaccine.
	You need to have one.
	Get on with it.
	But instead, no, it's a dose of hope.
	There's nothing romantic about this.
	But anyway, it's good that half of Americans have been vaccinated.
	Well done.
	He picked up Trump's vaccination program and continued it.
	Yeah, taking credit for it.
	He is completely taking credit for the fact that a million doses a day.
	Well, just like Trump was doing when he left office.
	Interesting.
	Anyway.
	So what's the next clip?
	We kept our commitment, Democrats and Republicans, of sending $1,400 rescue checks to 85% of American households.
	We're already sent more than 160 million checks out the door.
	We're making one of the largest one-time ever investments, ever, in improving healthcare for veterans.
	Critical investments to address the opioid crisis.
	And maybe most importantly, thanks to the American Rescue Plan, we're on track to cut child poverty in America in half.
	Right, so this is his American investment plan.
	He thinks that he can just essentially spend money to solve problems, even if these problems may well be caused by simply Gibbs.
	It doesn't matter.
	He's just going to continue to pour money into the hands of everyone in the United States, which includes illegal immigrants, of course.
	So what you have is the US government just giving people money, and this is guaranteed by the labour of non-immigrant Americans.
	So enjoy that.
	And this wouldn't have been a problem anyway if the states hadn't been forced to lock down, obviously.
	So if people have been allowed to live their lives and operate their businesses, none of this would be necessary.
	But as you can see, this is the very obvious ethos of the Biden administration.
	I was going to say regime, but I'll say administration, is just bribe you with your own money.
	This is your money.
	Yes, I mean, it solves nothing.
	It solves nothing.
	It's a very temporary measure, and it's just going to be...
	Who is it?
	Benjamin Franklin or something like that.
	One of the founding fathers said, you know, we'll have a republic until they realize they can vote themselves money.
	And here we are, the Democrats just literally pouring gold into everyone's pockets.
	This isn't going to make things cheaper.
	This isn't going to improve things.
	It doesn't help stuff.
	I mean, the thing that would help things is opening back up and getting people back to work.
	So then you have jobs and prosperity and all the rest of it and you can grow.
	Not just surviving on whatever the government gives you back from your paycheck that it took.
	Yeah.
	But not only that, it's going to be one of those things where it's like people become dependent on the source of revenue.
	And if the source of revenue becomes the government, then people become dependent on the government, which creates a mandate for the government to take care of its new wards.
	You know, who else is going to look after them?
	No one else is going to look after them.
	We've got to look after them.
	And you've got to pay for it.
	Let's go for the next clip.
	I will not impose any tax increase on people making less than $400,000.
	But it's time for corporate America.
	And the wealthiest 1% of Americans have just begun to pay their fair share.
	A recent study shows that 55 of the nation's biggest corporations paid zero federal tax last year.
	Those 55 corporations Made in excess of $40 billion in profit.
	We're only going to affect three-tenths of 1% of all Americans by that action.
	Three-tenths of 1%.
	And the IRS is going to crack down on millionaires and billionaires who cheat on their taxes.
	When you hear someone say they don't want to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% or corporate America, ask them whose taxes you want to raise.
	Nobody's?
	I'd like to lower taxes, generally, across the board, and then correspondingly, lower public spending would be nice.
	But this is the way that Joe Biden...
	Whose taxes are you going to raise?
	We're going to raise someone's taxes, because this all has to, of course, be paid for.
	Now, corporations paying zero federal tax, well, okay, but they still pay local and state taxes.
	And it's not good to tax people.
	Taxing things doesn't create prosperity.
	This is just an eternal economic truth.
	So you can see there from the rhetoric he wants them to pay their fair share, a term that no one's ever able to find because it doesn't make any sense.
	But the point there of them saying, okay, these guys should be paying 16 or whatever it is in the United States, and then they're paying zero.
	Well, this isn't a problem with the Republicans or the Democrats.
	It's a problem with both of them, actually.
	So the fact that they will pay zero last year, they will pay zero the next year, the next year, the next year, because they have clever accountants and an unwieldy tax system the United States has.
	And they have loopholes.
	But more importantly, as California and New York have shown, if you punitively raise taxes on a specific rich demographic, they'll just leave.
	That's certainly true if you can actually get to tax them, but because of the situation in the United States, the criticism I have there is him saying, oh, we'll just tax the rich corporations who are paying zero.
	They'll pay zero next year as well.
	They'll find a way to do it.
	So you won't be able to tax them.
	You'll have to tax the middle class.
	Or they'll leave.
	They will take the business they have there and outsource it somewhere else, and you won't get any of that money.
	They'll put the HQ in Ireland or something.
	Exactly.
	That's exactly why...
	But the middle class won't be able to do that.
	Exactly.
	So the money that they're expecting to raise from the top 1%...
	Now, I'm no particular defender of billionaires or anything.
	I don't care.
	You know, tax them as much as you want.
	But there are consequences to this, as left-wingers have found out over and over and over throughout history as this has been done.
	And it's currently being done in places like California and New York.
	And yet Joe Biden is still here going well.
	We're just going to persecute the 1% with their taxes.
	That's not going to work.
	They're going to do something.
	You know they're going to do something.
	The evidence is all there.
	They'll say to you that they'll leave.
	Why do you think Joe Rogan left California?
	This is just one of those things.
	Why is the governor of New York saying that's what's happened to his state?
	Exactly.
	Why is he begging them to stay and he'll take them out to dinner?
	It's pie-in-the-sky nonsense that does not work.
	But, as far as Joe's concerned, he's in control of the entire system.
	He controls everything.
	He's going after the corporations.
	Again, exactly like the fascists did.
	We're coming after you.
	We have an ethical agenda against you.
	I don't actually think that Amazon and Google have done anything wrong by their success.
	I don't think that's the thing they've done wrong.
	The thing they've done wrong is censoring people and oppressing...
	working against the unionization of their own workforce and stuff like that.
	I think you're allowed to accuse them of that sort of thing.
	Well, we'll still call it a fortification because I think it's good.
	But the thing is, in comparison to this, Trump's tax policy was cut taxes, and that seemed to make everything good and make people have more money.
	But Biden was like, yeah, but that increased our deficit.
	Well, why did that increase the deficit?
	Because obviously public spending was not cut in line with the tax reductions.
	That's why.
	But, of course, public spending now is just the name of the game, which is, in fact, what the next clip is.
	Am I pro-union?
	Well, kind of.
	I'm not anti-union.
	I'm anti-socialists being in control of the unions.
	And unions used to be a Republican policy.
	Unions used to be Republican-controlled, and they probably, well, they weren't great, admittedly.
	That's why I proposed the American Jobs Plan, a once-in-a-generation investment in America itself.
	This is the largest jobs plan since World War II. It creates jobs to upgrade our transportation infrastructure.
	Jobs modernizing our roads, bridges, highways.
	Jobs building ports and airports, rail corridors, transit lines — will help millions of people get back to their jobs and back to their careers.
	Two million women have dropped out of the workforce during this pandemic — two million.
	And too often because they couldn't get the care they needed to care for their child or care for an elderly parent who needs help.
	Why is that bad?
	Why is women dropping out of the workforce bad?
	Well, Joe will explain to us in a bit.
	But he also goes on to promise a $15 an hour minimum wage and buying products made in America.
	Yeah, not likely.
	Most that won't require a degree so all the poor people can work for the state in these huge state infrastructure projects.
	Is there any country that reminds you of?
	I mean, the Autobahn?
	Or China?
	Building big empty cities in the middle of nowhere just to be spending and employing and making sure people are doing something.
	This is what Joe Biden's plan very much resembles to me.
	And I think that this is concerning because, again, these people who don't require a degree, low education, working class people, They're going to be employed by the state.
	They're going to be reliant on the state.
	You know, getting women back into work.
	To do what?
	Build infrastructure?
	No.
	To do boring admin in offices.
	Okay, well, what's going to go on with their three-year-olds?
	What are their children going to do?
	Let's watch the next clip.
	Twelve years is no longer enough today to compete with the rest of the world in the 21st century.
	That's why my American Families Plan guarantees four additional years of public education for every person in America, starting as early as we can.
	The great universities in this country have conducted studies for the last ten years.
	It shows that adding two years of universal high-quality preschool for every three-year-old and four-year-old, no matter what background they come from, puts them in the position to be able to compete When you add two years of free community college on top of that, you begin to change the dynamic.
	Three years old, and they should be at school.
	Three.
	They're just learning to speak at that age.
	They're just forming sentences at that age.
	My son's six.
	I don't want him being at school at three.
	But more importantly, I think that's more time away from his family.
	And what happens when the children are away from their family?
	Well, Biden, of course, wants to include quality, affordable childcare.
	So women can presumably keep working because you've got to keep those numbers up, bro.
	You know, graph goes brr.
	You know, it's got to go up.
	The GDP, my holy GDP. It doesn't matter the fact that literally he's saying that all these poor people can work for the state.
	All of these families can be essentially constantly at work and the children can constantly be away from their parents in either school or childcare.
	And that means that numbers go up.
	That means that our graphs on the charts look great.
	You know, our numbers on the charts look really, really good.
	Who is this good for, though?
	Like, who is that good for?
	Putting the earliest years of a child into the hands of the state so the mothers can work sounds like, again, another step on breaking apart families.
	I mean, why not just remove them at birth?
	Why not just have them raised by the state at birth so the mothers don't have to spend any time away from the workplace?
	Why not do that?
	They're going to be really effective.
	They're going to be really competitive.
	You know, they're going to be ultra, ultra well-trained, like, state-raised individuals who'll be able to out-compete China in the GDP. They're going to be doing amazing work.
	But, like, the cloying hand of government is just all over this entire speech, essentially promising to regiment your entire life.
	You'll get this, you'll get that, you'll get the other.
	You'll get what we give you because there won't be any other options.
	You'll learn to love your servitude, though, because you'll be given loads of, you know, loads of money.
	You'll get all these nice benefits and things like that, so don't worry, this will be good for you.
	And it's all sounding a bit Brave New World, isn't it?
	I mean, I don't think I'd describe having your child taken away and forced to go to school at that age as a benefit.
	No, I wouldn't.
	But guaranteed.
	Guaranteed for all.
	Again, totalitarian.
	It's sounding incredibly fascist.
	But let's get to the progressive bit.
	Let's get to the next clip.
	We've all seen the knee of injustice on the neck of black Americans.
	Now's our opportunity to make some real progress.
	We have a real chance to root out systemic racism that plagues America and American lives in other ways.
	That's a weird way of phrasing it, isn't it?
	We've all seen the knee of injustice on the necks of black America.
	I mean, what a formulation.
	But systemic racism can't be solved with more government gibbs, Joe.
	It's why you're in the position that you're in in the first place, in fact.
	But anyway, we can't talk about the problem there, so let's move on to the LGBT solutions.
	I also hope, Congressman, get to my desk the Equality Act to protect LGBTQ Americans.
	For all transgender Americans watching at home, especially young people, you're so brave.
	I want you to know your president has your back.
	Okay, so that's less than 1% of the population placated, but 90% of Twitter.
	And so, yeah, I mean, I don't even know what he plans to do with that, to be honest, but you can imagine where this is going to go.
	It's going to be mandating that there are no gendered spaces anymore.
	There's not going to be anything that men and women have to be separated from.
	I mean, what we did in the UK was we...
	Actually, I don't think we did it here, but in Canada, for example, we will protect trans people.
	How will we do that?
	Well, we'll force people to use their pronouns.
	That's what that means, which is compelled speech.
	That's not protection.
	That's persecution.
	But it's going to be ensuring that men and women can be in each other's spaces, in each other's competitions, in each other's professions.
	And this is surely not going to end with any problems.
	I mean, it's not like we did this in the UK and now have a transgender-only prison because of all the rape that went on.
	Yep.
	That's not going to happen in the United States.
	It's not.
	It's all going to be roses and light and shining glory from the God Emperor Biden.
	What's he going to say about guns?
	Let's have a watch.
	And I'll do everything in my power to protect the American people from this epidemic of gun violence, but it's time for Congress to act as well. but it's time for Congress to act as well.
	I love his expression.
	Look at his face.
	Ted Cruz is so utterly unimpressed.
	Basically, he's going to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, saying things like, a deer wearing Kevlar vests.
	That's not why you have guns, Joe.
	The stormtroopers of the newly born progressive fascist state might have Kevlar vests, which is why people want to be armed, because it looks like you actually have a plan to take over every aspect of life in the United States.
	And it's kind of concerning to me.
	And I'm not even in the United States.
	I'm concerned about this anyway.
	So I can imagine that there are many Americans who are like, hmm, I don't trust this.
	I don't think government is actually the answer to all of my problems.
	It's nice that he's announcing it, though, because if I was an American, great investment advice right now would be to buy an assault weapon.
	Oh, yeah.
	In the same way as semi- what is it?
	Fully autos.
	Yeah.
	They now collect his items worth 30,000 each.
	I bet the stocks in gun manufacturing have just gone straight up in the past couple of years.
	Yeah.
	But, right, so, let's get his opinion on immigration.
	Over 11 million undocumented folks, the vast majority of here, overstaying visas.
	Pass it.
	We can actually — if you actually want to solve a problem, I've sent a bill to take a close look at it.
	We also have to get at the root problem of why people are fleeing, particularly to our southern border from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador — the violence, the corruption, the gangs, the political instability, hunger, hurricanes, earthquakes, natural disasters.
	When I was president, My president, when I was vice president, the president asked me to focus on providing help needed to address the root causes of migration.
	Okay, but the root causes of migration aren't actually acts of God.
	They're not, like, South America is not just a constant roiling battle of thunderstorms and volcanoes and, you know, just murderous gangs.
	I mean, there are obviously those things.
	But, like, the reason that they come, and we know because they were interviewed and they were asked, is because you said that you would let them in.
	And why are they coming?
	Well, as he says elsewhere in the speech, America is an idea.
	It's an idea.
	Yes, it's an English idea.
	And they're coming for those Anglo-Saxon political traditions because they think that Joe will let them in.
	It's not because of natural disasters or climate change or any of this other nonsense.
	And they tell us as much, you know, when they're phoning on their iPhones to the people back home saying, I've made it, you know, they're not like, I mean, Joe Biden seems to think of them as just savages.
	Who are just in the rainforest and there's a volcano explodes and the dinosaurs come out of the foliage and it's like, God, run to America!
	It's the only place we'll be safe!
	It's like, Joe, you have a really condescending view of, like, the lost world of South America.
	Anyway, so why is he doing all of this?
	And he lays this out very, very clearly in this clip.
	America's moving.
	Moving forward.
	But we can't stop now.
	We're in competition with China and other countries to win the 21st century.
	We're at a great inflection point in history.
	We have to do more than just build back better.
	We have to build back better.
	We have to compete more strenuously than we have.
	So, he sounds like a fascist version of Elmer Fudd, who is engaging in this Darwinian competition of nations, and...
	I mean, what else is there?
	I mean, this is exactly how this sounds, isn't it?
	I mean, we have to build back better.
	No, no, we have to build back better.
	Okay.
	A little bit better, folks.
	But he's espousing exactly the same philosophy as Hitler and Mussolini when he says these things.
	And in fact, he spent a lot of time with fascist dictators, as he brags about in the speech.
	And this is one of the things.
	You can see that all of this is because of the philosophical influence of Xi Jinping, as we see.
	We can't be so busy competing with one another that we forget the competition that we have with the rest of the world to win the 21st century.
	As Secretary Blinken can tell you, I spent a lot of time with President Xi.
	Traveled over 17,000 miles with him.
	Spent, they tell me, over 24 hours in private discussions with him.
	When he called to congratulate him, we had a two-hour discussion.
	He's deadly earnest about becoming the most significant consequential nation in the world.
	He and others — autocrats — think that democracy can't compete in the 21st century with autocracies because it takes too long to get consensus.
	And there we go.
	That's why he's doing this.
	He thinks that democracy can't compete.
	He wants to prove that democracy can compete.
	A well-fortified democracy, presumably, can compete with the sort of speed that autocracies can change their opinions on.
	And he's expanding the reach of the government across the entirety of American society to be able to do this.
	And he talks about this a lot.
	Let's watch the next one.
	I've made it known that America's back.
	Do you know what they say?
	The comments I hear most of all from them, they say, we see America's back, but for how long?
	But for how long?
	My fellow Americans, we have to show not just that we're back, but that we're back to stay.
	Presumably for the next thousand years or so?
	Oh, that was funny.
	He also claims he's leaving Afghanistan and that he's going to stand up to China, which I find particularly unbelievable.
	America will stand up to unfair trade practices and undercut American workers and American industries like subsidies from state to state-owned operations and enterprises and the theft of American technology and intellectual property.
	I also told President Xi that we'll maintain a strong military presence in the Indo-Pacific just as we do for NATO in Europe.
	Not to start a conflict, but to prevent one.
	Do you have faith in Biden's ability to make sure that China doesn't undercut American workers by enslaving them?
	Well, he's referencing Taiwan there.
	I assume so.
	Well, I don't know.
	He's not entirely clear.
	I mean, he says he was speaking to Xi Jinping.
	Well, no, at the point that he wants the navy and the thick presence in China.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it's about Xi Jinping's expansionist policies that he's referring to.
	But the question of labor, I think, is an important one because this is the problem with doing business with China is that they don't care about their people.
	They don't have human rights.
	And so they will be forced to work for, you know, a dollar a day or whatever it is.
	There are accusations in the northeast of literally slave plantations picking cotton.
	Literal slave, and of course slave factories as well.
	Yeah.
	And so it's like, okay, what are you going to do, Joe?
	You know, I mean, like Pompeo said that there was a genocide going on.
	Do you co-sign that?
	You know, are you going to do something?
	You could presumably put a ban on American companies trading and manufacturing in China, presumably.
	I mean, you've taken over everything else.
	What's stopping you?
	And will you do it?
	Because that would be the thing you would do in line with that statement.
	Of course, he's never going to do anything like this.
	But this is where it all comes together in this next part, where he explains, again, how he views the United States and its people.
	We have to prove democracy still works, that our government still works, and we can deliver for our people.
	In our first hundred days together, we've acted to restore people's faith in democracy to deliver.
	We're vaccinating the nation.
	We're creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
	We're delivering real results to people.
	They can see it, feel it in their own lives.
	Opening doors of opportunity, guaranteeing some more fairness and justice.
	That's the essence of America.
	That's democracy in action.
	Our Constitution opens with the words, as straight as it sounds, we the people.
	Well, it's time to remember that we, the people, are the government.
	You and I. Not some force in the distant capital.
	Not some powerful force that we have no control over.
	It's us.
	It's we, the people.
	Told you he's a fascist.
	Jesus Christ.
	I told you.
	We the people is the government.
	Yeah.
	This is why every Republican, every conservative should be calling this his we the government speech.
	Because that's what he said.
	We the people is us the government.
	Could you get a more fascist statement than this?
	No.
	Italian fascism through and through.
	Exactly.
	This is exactly the ethos of fascism.
	He's got an ethical agenda to remake the society.
	He appears to have nothing outside the state.
	Everything within the state and nothing against the state.
	We the people are the government.
	You know, we're not in a distant capital.
	It's like, you are the distant capital that's currently surrounded by razor-wide fencing and armed guards.
	You know, but we're not some distant capital.
	You are it!
	God.
	Saying that we are the people.
	The border around the capital does make more sense now, because, I mean, if there's no border on the country, but there is one around the capital of the government, yeah, well, we the people is the government.
	Yes.
	I mean, as Mussolini said in the Doctrine of Fascism, if liberalism spells individualism, fascism spells government.
	What more do you need?
	And I love, I love these career politicians.
	I mean, he's been in the Senate 50 years, something like that, while he wasn't being the Vice President and the President.
	And he's like, yeah, I'm one of the people.
	You are a career politician.
	You are a professional.
	You have done nothing else with your life in the sort of Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn way.
	And you guys are like, yeah, so we the people.
	You're not the people.
	You're not one of them.
	You're very, very distinct.
	And this is obvious.
	And this is how he ends it.
	We've stared into the abyss of insurrection and autocracy, pandemic and pain, and we the people did not flinch.
	The very moment our adversaries were certain we'd pull apart and fail.
	We came together, we united.
	With light and hope, we summoned a new strength, new resolve to position us to win the competition of the 21st century.
	Right.
	Could that be any more fascist?
	I mean, if he defined it as we the people being we the people, the people, then that statement would have been fine.
	The fact that he's defined it as the government.
	Yes.
	We the government did not flinch.
	And I love this.
	And what's the point of it?
	The point is to engage in a competition, a war between nations, to make sure that they, in a Darwinian fashion, are the most superior.
	And it's like, God, this is actually exactly the same as fascism.
	I've got to hurry up a bit.
	But like, so this is just, you know, what Orwell's view of doublethink was.
	And I just want to frame this, the media response, or at least CNN's response, in this way.
	So, for Orwell, doublethink was the act of holding simultaneously to opposite, individually exclusive ideas or opinions, and believing both simultaneously and absolutely, and it requires using logic against logic or suspending disbelief in the contradiction.
	Yeah, and that's a good summary of what Orwell defined doublethink as, which, again, we the people means us the government.
	That's a good example of this, right?
	But an even better example of this is this CNN article here, right?
	Look at this headline.
	Joe Biden showcased his moderate radicalism.
	In his big congressional address.
	The hell does moderate radicalism mean?
	It's a meme.
	I mean, radical centrism is a meme.
	It's ridiculous.
	But again, you cannot have moderate radicalism.
	Moderate means, you know, without great distinction from the norm.
	And radical is obviously a systemic change.
	So what are you talking about?
	But this is CNN. They want you to engage in doublethink now.
	They are going to use Ingsoc's policies of propaganda to make you and make Biden supporters believe that this is the case.
	We won't go through this article because we're running a long time.
	But essentially, they summarize it as Reaganomics in reverse.
	When Reagan said, you know, the government is not the solution to our problem.
	Government is the problem.
	Joe Biden has reversed this.
	So government is not the problem.
	Government is the solution to the problem.
	I'm not a fascist, says Joe Biden.
	We the people is the government.
	That's what we the people is.
	And, of course, government is the solution.
	And they have an ethical agenda to remould, remake society, to make sure that the American who now is in school and laboring, essentially, from the age of three till they finish their degrees, before they go into a job working for the state, in order to make sure that American GDP is higher than China's GDP. Because I saw some clips floating about, but I'm really surprised we didn't see that clip being the main clip.
	I mean, that should be in front of everyone's faces.
	It's insufferable.
	I hope Tucker Carlson does a segment where he's essentially saying the same thing.
	Because the Americans, all of them, all of the Republicans, need to have this singular narrative.
	Biden has declared himself to be a fascist.
	I mean, we the people, I the government.
	Yes.
	That is an unreal thing to say.
	That should never have been said by an American president.
	I mean, the left gets accused of state worship.
	But now they're just like, yeah, we do worship the state.
	Yeah.
	The people is us in our fortification where you can't come.
	And if you try and come, we'll treat you like terrorists.
	Okay, well, let's get into the response to all this.
	So the Republicans get to issue a response to these kind of speeches, and they did, in which they had this chap here, Tim Scott.
	And as you can see, Conservative Dinesh D'Souza bringing up his explosive Democrat race narrative.
	So he gives a response to all of this, in which he accuses the Democrats of using race as a weapon.
	But just before we go into this, this is the problem, right?
	Why are you talking about the race narrative?
	That's literally like two minutes of Biden's speech.
	Well, this was all pre-prepared, so I don't think it's direct response.
	It's they plan this and they release it afterwards.
	So this is just the section of his speech that I find the most interesting, so I'll play this.
	Nowhere do we need common ground more desperately than in our discussions of race.
	I have experienced the pain of discrimination.
	I know what it feels like to be pulled over for no reason, to be followed around a store, While I'm shopping, I've also experienced a different kind of intolerance.
	I get called Uncle Tom and the N-word by progressives, by liberals.
	When America comes together, we've made tremendous progress, but powerful forces want to pull us apart.
	A hundred years ago, kids in classrooms were taught the color of their skin was their most important characteristic.
	And if they looked a certain way, They were inferior.
	Today, cues are being taught that the color of their skin defines them again.
	And if they look a certain way, they're an oppressor.
	From colleges to corporations to our culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending we haven't made any progress at all.
	By doubling down on the divisions we've worked so hard to heal.
	You know this stuff is wrong.
	Hear me clearly.
	America is not a racist country.
	It's backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination.
	And it's wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.
	That's a good response, actually.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't disagree with anything.
	As I say, pre-approved to go about what he thought the speech was going to be.
	I think anyone expected Biden to come out and be like, hey, the government is the people, but good God.
	So he's going after them on the fact that they try and heavily push race as a weapon to fight the Republicans with endlessly.
	It's good that he approached it in a moral dispension.
	You know it's wrong.
	You do know it's wrong.
	It is wrong to be This white kid is applying for a job, therefore we're not going to give it to him because he's white.
	You know that's wrong.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Don't give me any BS about representation.
	Yeah, historic oppression or anything like this.
	It's just wrong to do that.
	This kid born in the year 2000.
	He's guilty of Jim Crow.
	Yeah, it's BS. And he then goes on to argue about the Georgia voting law that's been passed and saying it's actually still easier than New York.
	And the White House had denounced that bill as being worse than Jim Crow for him saying that you need ID to vote.
	Yeah.
	Jesus Christ, this is worse than literal laws preventing black people from doing things.
	That's worse, is it?
	Rosa Parks was exaggerating, I guess, is the White House's position.
	This Jim Crow's bad, but at least I don't have to get an ID to vote.
	Oh, God.
	Anyway, so you can see this chap here, he's very proud of the fact that we've managed to get critical race theory on the mainstream, the fact that they're pointing out that this ideology is bloody evil, and it certainly is, certainly agree with that, and we'll get into the fact that the Democrats agree that that's the case at this point now, or at least the strategists do in a minute.
	So the response to this was that this is, you know, pretty good, if we can get the next one up.
	So you can see the press reporting on this speech was also kind of down the line, because, I mean, there wasn't much way of attacking it.
	So just saying that he suggests that Dems use race as a political weapon, but he didn't suggest...
	Not exactly a hot take, that, is it?
	He said they did, like they do.
	But that's not exactly a hot take, and not something we really need to spend much time substantiating, because it's like 90% of our content.
	But the point I was getting at there was just that the media response, which I saw, was largely just, I don't want to engage with this, because we know we can't win that battle.
	Black guys calling us a bunch of racists, and we resemble that remark, so...
	So what do they do instead?
	So what do the Twitter activists do instead?
	Well, they decide to get Uncle Tim trending.
	I'm not joking.
	Oh my god!
	Yeah, trending in the United States, Uncle Tim.
	Oh my god.
	Well done for proving his point.
	Well done for proving his point.
	You could not have proved it faster.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You may as well have just called him the N-word.
	That would have just been quicker.
	Get the N-word trending on Twitter because that would have been just as impactful.
	I mean, in his speech, they call me an Uncle Tom in the N-word.
	Progressives.
	And progressives are like, yeah, sure, why not?
	Yes, we do!
	So let's just get the next one up.
	So I just put together a bunch of checkmarks.
	So this is one checkmark.
	So it's Uncle Tim.
	It's just like, who's this Negro speaking out of line?
	That's their opinion.
	That's their opinion.
	That's the Democrat opinion.
	Oh, God.
	Good God.
	So the next one, if we get the next one up, there's this guy saying, I'd totally be unsurprised to learn that Stephen Miller wrote that BS speech for Uncle Tim.
	What?
	Oh yeah, Stephen Miller would be like, yeah, maybe we shouldn't be racist, guys.
	And you're like...
	Oh boy, but just openly using the phrase, good God.
	So you get the next one.
	So this is some guy, Tim Scott complained about being called an Uncle Tom and then 60 seconds later said America is not a racist country.
	Wow, he was wrong, wasn't he?
	You're kind of proving his point here.
	I love it.
	He's like, you know, America isn't a racist country and the Democrats are like, yes we are.
	It's also just like, well, the racism comes from the West in this country, and they're just like, yeah, yeah, yep.
	When hasn't it?
	This is going to be my favorite response here.
	How can calling Tim Scott Uncle Tim be racist when he just told everyone that the United States isn't a racist country?
	He's like, yeah, I mean, maybe he's wrong.
	Maybe half the country is racist.
	He's like, I get called Uncle Tom, and you're like, yes, yes, yes, you are an Uncle Tim.
	The level of self-awareness.
	Like, literally, he's like, this isn't a racist country, and like, literally, we don't agree because we're racist.
	Like, that's her response.
	Like, progressivism to the rescue, to bring the racism to the party.
	Yeah, sorry, if we're not included, then you might not be racist, so we want representation!
	Oh, boy.
	And there's someone pointing out in the next one here that when you look up...
	Tim Scott suddenly becomes Stormfront on Twitter.
	So the first one is just him calling him a clown, which is not great, but let's go to the next.
	Okay, that's fine.
	His ancestors should be ashamed of him.
	That's fine.
	That's not racist.
	You can call someone a clown and say that your ancestors are ashamed.
	That's fine.
	I mean, it's a little bit like you're a race traitor.
	No, no, no.
	I don't agree.
	I don't agree that you're a race traitor.
	You could replace that with anyone.
	Don't worry, I've got a better example later.
	Let's go to the next image.
	So this guy here, Scott Nevis.
	Senator Tim Scott is Uncle Tomming for his life.
	So sad, South Carolina should be ashamed.
	Oh, good.
	White man, come and put the black man in his place.
	Because he's chosen the wrong one, clearly.
	He's the only checkmark I've seen that's apologised for this, so I've been like, ah, I messed up.
	Well, he's white, isn't he?
	Which is just him apologising.
	Tonight I tried to do an ironic joke about Senator Tim Scott by using the term Uncle Tom in his rebuttal.
	Whilst I was shocked by his lack of self-awareness, I should not have used the term myself, even in reference.
	You're too white to use the term Uncle Tom.
	That's what it is.
	But if you go to the next one, people point out, this isn't the first time you've used this, buddy.
	Like, you use this all the time!
	So, when Ben Carson gives a speech on anything ever, you're just like, Uncle Tom.
	Oh my god.
	Let's go through the images, just so you can see.
	Like, this isn't just a one-off.
	Like, some other guy's calling Uncle Tom for not taking the knee.
	We go to the next one.
	Yeah, Ben Carson again, giving a speech about something.
	He's an Uncle Tom.
	Ben Carson again.
	So whenever Ben Carson speaks, he's an Uncle Tom, and you were fine with doing that, but now you're being called out on Tim Scott, you're like, no, no, please, I'm not the racist.
	I mean, this extremely pasty-looking guy is just shouting racial slurs at black people on Twitter, and I mean, I guess that actually does undermine Tim's case.
	I mean, could this Tim Scott guy be proved faster?
	Anyhow, like I say, I don't really know anything about Tim Scott, the individual, so if he's a bad Republican senator or something, but I don't really care, because in this instance...
	Well, I've heard he's an Uncle Tom.
	That's all I've heard so far.
	That's the progressive description.
	God, that is just so awful.
	It's so awful!
	Then the next one, this is my example of this guy calling him a race traitor.
	So Tim Scott does not represent black people.
	Tim Scott represents a, quote, If you can't beat them, join them.
	Age is an old trope of black person that bows down gleefully to the white supremacy for self-interest while eschewing the plight for cultural shift inclusivity of all black Americans.
	I mean, just, you are a race traitor.
	You're siding with whitey and the white supremacists here.
	Oh, boy.
	Yeah, and there's no shortage of these.
	These are just a bunch of checkmarks I found.
	I mean, again, they're proud of it.
	They've got a checkmark in their account.
	This is definitely me, and I'm going to say it.
	I mean, I suppose, after all of these years, are we surprised to find the Democrat Party's full of racists?
	I mean, where haven't they been?
	What era are we looking at, you know?
	Anyway, so the next thing here I just want to show is Tim Scott's been talking about this for a little while, so this is like a month ago.
	He said that woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy.
	It's exactly the same.
	In response, he had the same response that he had to this speech, which is people accusing him of being some kind of...
	Yeah, I feel bad for the guy.
	He can't say anything.
	About race people being called a race traitor.
	So we go to the Washington Post opinion piece here.
	Diversity matters, but actions and values just as much.
	They say in here, they are living proof, the guys who are black Republicans, neither racial nor gender diversity is a guarantor of progressive, inclusive, and broad-minded thinking.
	Diversity, much in vogue, has its limits.
	The fact that they're brown and women doesn't mean they're progressives.
	Diversity has its limits.
	As in, the black people who don't agree with us are no longer diverse.
	Know your limits.
	Stop thinking.
	But they're not diverse.
	The limit of diversity stops at black people who don't agree with us.
	Now you're outside, you Uncle Tom.
	This is genuine, old-school left-wing racism.
	Yeah, it's in a major newspaper.
	What the heck?
	It's the Washington Post.
	I mean, it's all of the verified check marks.
	Yeah, he's not diverse.
	The last thing I just wanted to mention here is he actually wrote an opinion piece in response to this.
	Again, on the Washington Post, which is really funny.
	They settled for him being able to do this.
	So he wrote down that they were accusing him of being neither racial or gender diversity guarantor because he's not progressive.
	And he responded by saying, that is woke supremacy.
	It is the tolerant left's intolerance for dissent.
	And I'm not going to go through the full thing here just for the sake of time, but he's totally right.
	He goes on to say things like the fact that it's not even a partisan issue.
	He mentions that he has a friend in the government who's a Democrat, and she'd received many death threats from progressives because she wouldn't use the right terms.
	And then he himself has had a, quote, woke black man be sentenced to a month in jail for threatening to gut him like a fish and blow me away with his rifle.
	Jesus Christ.
	Like, this progressive black guy is like, yeah, BLM, but also this guy, I'm going to gut him like a fish.
	What do they think the KKK used to say to black people?
	You couldn't ask for worse.
	It's literally the same thing.
	Yeah.
	There's a couple more things I want to say here, actually.
	So, he says in here, woke culture is spreading, sorry, is speeding our country towards ideological and literal segregation.
	Already, Columbia University has decided to host segregated graduation celebrations based on race or socioeconomic factors.
	Oh, God.
	Leaders of the woke movement are attempting to codify discrimination in law, including by Democrats setting aside funding exclusively for non-white farmers in their recent stimulus package.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, totally true.
	And how horrible is that?
	I mean, I can't think of anything worse than the Democrats just openly saying, yeah, we're just going to give money to non-whites.
	Why?
	Because of their race.
	Now, get back on the plantation.
	But also if you dare disagree.
	Democrats 2021.
	I mean, I imagine that they're going to define black people in law now in the same way that their activists are, which is like, yes, people of colour, except the people of colour who go beyond their limits.
	Know your limits.
	I mean, honestly, I can't get over this.
	I just can't get over this.
	So that was the planned response.
	So, I mean, that was what they, you know, his speech that presumably he prescripted for the response to Biden's speech.
	And the response to that was just, Uncle Tom, Uncle Tom, Uncle Tom.
	I just want to say, I would feel...
	Like, such a bad person, if that were my response.
	I would feel gross and disgusting.
	I'd want to go and have a shower.
	It's the progressive version of just shouting the N-word.
	Yeah.
	Like, this guy's like, yeah, racism, you know, America's not a racist country, we can work together.
	And all the Democrats are sitting in their chairs being like, and then they just shout it.
	But I just can't get over it.
	Like, I totally agree with Tim Scott.
	You know it's wrong to do this.
	And they're just like, no, we don't.
	No, we don't N-word, you know?
	You're not even black, you know?
	It's comical, but it's...
	So, in response to the Wokarati doing that, I want to talk about a Democrat's response to the whole thing.
	And a Democrat's response to the whole thing was quite interesting because he completely agreed with Republican Tim Scott that wokeness is the problem and wokeness needs to die.
	So this guy here, I don't know how he says his name, James Carville, he's a political consultant.
	He was the main strategist for Bill Clinton's campaign back in the 90s in which he got him elected to president.
	He went on to go around the world and help different leaders in different countries and He helped Tony Blair in 2001, for example.
	I love his quote for why he did this.
	If you help elect a president and then you get involved in a governor's race in the United States and you lose, it's going to be a bit of a damage to your reputation.
	But if you go to Peru and you run a presidential race and you lose, no one cares!
	So why go to New Jersey and lose for a hundred grand when you could go to Peru and lose for a million dollars?
	He literally, like, you look at his Wikipedia list, I mean, the number of places, like, just scroll down a tiny bit.
	Kind of base, to be honest.
	Yeah, stop.
	So we got Brazil, Honduras, Ecuador, Panama, Israel, Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Colombia, Argentina.
	Again, like, for all of them, he got paid.
	He got paid good money, and a bunch of them he lost.
	And he's just like, I don't care.
	I love the capitalism in this guy.
	Great.
	Anyway, so I wanted to see the Democrat perspective on this, of the types who are not woke, but are still in the Democratic Party and trying to push what they believe.
	So he gave an interview to Vox, which I do not think they were expecting the response he gave, which is, wokeness is a problem and we all know it, as the title says.
	So the interviewer, because Vox is a woke outlet, the interviewer here was expecting to have a nice little chat about Biden's 100 days in office, and so he says it called up James Calville to get his thoughts on President Joe Biden's first 100 days in office.
	He obliged.
	Then, one question in, brushed aside the exercise to talk instead about why the Democrats might be poised to squander their political advantage against the damaged GOP. Wokeness is a problem, he told me, and we all know it.
	According to Carville, Democrats are in power for now, but they also only narrowly defeated Donald Trump, a, quote, world historical buffoon, and they lost congressional seats and failed to pick up state legislators.
	The reason is very simple.
	They've got a messaging problem.
	The messaging problem being calling everyone an Uncle Tom, for example.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, screeching Uncle Tom of Republican black people is probably slightly on that.
	Yeah, so some of the quotes are like him calling Donald Trump a buffoon and whatnot.
	I mean, we're looking at this from a democratic perspective, so I'm not going to spend every time nitpicking things like that, because I think their perspective in total is more interesting.
	So the interviewer asked him, what do you make of Biden's first 100 days?
	And his response was, honestly, if we're talking about Biden, it's very difficult to find something to complain about.
	And to me, his biggest attribute is that he's not into, quote, faculty lounge politics.
	And the interviewer was like, what the hell does that mean?
	What's faculty lounge politics?
	And he responds, you ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges, faculty lounges, in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people?
	Yeah.
	They come up with words like Latinx that no one else uses, or they use a phrase like communities of colour.
	I don't even know anyone who speaks like that.
	I don't know anyone who lives in a community of colour.
	I know lots of white and black and brown people, but they all live in neighbourhoods.
	I love it.
	It's just like, because you remember, we did a segment a while ago in which the Church of England and the Guardian have redefined brown-skinned people as yuckamagamers, because that's dignified.
	And he's got the same thing here.
	It's like, well, you keep saying, like, community of colour, person of colour, all these disgusting terms.
	I can't just call them people.
	Hola, my fellow Latinxs!
	But why can't they just live in neighbourhoods?
	Why do they have to live in communities of colour?
	Why can't they just be people instead of Yucma Gamers?
	Wow, because the reason they do this is because of bureaucracy.
	It's much easier to categorise people and create these kind of firm categories in which they can suddenly number people and think of them as a spreadsheet that can be shuffled around on rather than as actual people living in actual communities called neighbourhoods and having real lives.
	That's why.
	I mean, he's really hit the nail on the head there, this Democrat strategist.
	But of course he's a Democrat, so his follow-up to that was, there's nothing inherently wrong with these phrases.
	Yes, there is.
	Yeah, there is.
	But this is not how people talk.
	This is not how voters talk.
	And doing it anyway is a signal that you're talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language.
	This stuff is harmless in the one sense, but in the other sense it's not.
	And he's totally right.
	I mean, the way progressives speak is disgusting.
	Dehumanizing.
	I mean, when they're not just using racial slurs and whatnot, the dehumanization of people, which they just cut you down to your pure identities, and then you've got to think a certain way.
	But I mean, think about it, right?
	Community of colour, what does that mean?
	The black community just appears to be any black person, right?
	So just the state of being black is enough to make you a part of the black community, which makes it a very thin concept.
	It's literally one aspect of it, that's all.
	But a neighbourhood...
	It's a thick concept.
	There's a location.
	There's a specific kind of people in there.
	They have specific relations.
	And if you go there, you will have local ethical knowledge about how you should behave there.
	Everyone always makes sure that they give Mr.
	Smith, who runs the corner shop, a couple of extra pence because his wife's sick and he needs a bit of extra.
	And these sort of thick community relational concepts are what he's speaking to there.
	But community of color, what?
	Black.
	That's it.
	And again, it's an amorphous, abstract term.
	Exactly.
	It means very, very little to any of the people that it's trying to describe.
	I'm guilty of this as well, and I'm sure you are, which is using the terms like the Pakistani community and things like this.
	Yeah, we shouldn't.
	They're all largely meaningless, like utterly worthless terms that are used by politicians.
	And as he says, it's this different language that is used by people, but it's not used by anyone on the ground.
	I mean, anyone on the ground would just say the neighbourhood here.
	Yeah.
	What's the neighbourhood like here?
	You know, that kind of thing.
	Yeah.
	You would not...
	What's the Pakistani community like around here?
	I mean, we've done a bunch of podcasts leading up to the Brave New World book club that deal exactly with the question that he's asking here.
	He hasn't gone into depth on these things.
	I wouldn't have expected him to.
	But the fact that he's identified that, hang on, there's a problem with the language that you're using here.
	It means that you can see this guy's a savvy actor.
	He's like, hmm, I've been watching this for a long time and there's something weird about this.
	I mean, like I say, he's been in politics for like 50 years.
	He really knows the ropes on the political side, but he's a strategist.
	He's not a theorist, so he's not coming up with the thought leaders of the party.
	But he's obviously a very intelligent chap to be able to identify this problem, because it's a very subtle problem.
	Yeah.
	So we're going to go through a little bit more, because it's great to see.
	So the interviewer asks, Is the problem the language or the fact that there are lots of voters who just don't want to hear about race and racial injustice?
	And he responds with...
	We have to talk about race.
	We should talk about racial injustice.
	What I'm saying is we need to do it without using jargon language that's unrecognizable to most people, including most black people, by the way, because it signals that you're trying to talk around them.
	This, quote, too cool for school S doesn't work, and we have to stop it.
	Totally true.
	It's unbearable when you interact with a politics student.
	Or even, I mean, myself, and many people who are obsessed with politics, when you interact with someone who isn't, you know you come off a bit weird.
	Because they're just kind of like, I don't know half the terms you're using.
	What's the thin language of elite bureaucracy?
	Yeah, and also the jargon-esque things that you have to learn to interact with progressive politics, for example.
	Yeah, these sort of shibboleths.
	Try and explain woke ideology to someone who's never interacted with Western politics.
	Yeah, it sounds really racist.
	It's really hard to explain as well because it's so nonsensical.
	But he continues, There may be a group within the Democratic Party that likes this, but it ain't the majority.
	And beyond that, if Democrats want power, they'll have to win in a country where 18% of the population controls 52% of the Senate seats.
	That's a fact.
	That's not changing.
	And that's what the whole damn thing is about.
	I mean, I don't know about his opinion that it's not the majority, but it certainly is the case that the woke types, they're able to massively clamp onto power, whether or not they're right now.
	It's the authority, that's the thing.
	How much power in the party do they have?
	Well, the advantage to this kind of academic, bureaucratic talk is that it sounds like you are an intellectual legislator.
	I have...
	Establish something about reality and therefore I can draw a deductively true conclusion about this thing.
	And this means that I'm right and you're wrong and you have to agree with me.
	That's essentially the power that's manufactured from this process.
	But the entire point of these kind of abstractions is literally to delete information.
	Like we were saying about the neighbourhoods and communities.
	What do the black community do and say?
	Well, you don't know because you're not talking about anyone.
	Yeah, but I'm not just getting at that point.
	I'll just take his assumption for true that maybe it's 15% of the Democratic Party are woke activists.
	It doesn't really matter if they're able to take control of the apparatus and the culture of the place.
	I mean, cancellation for example.
	Yeah, but the question is how does that work?
	And it works because they have more authority than the sort of...
	Human Democrat activists who are just like talking, well, I just want to really help my local community.
	And, you know, Uncle Frank has got a problem and I really want to help him and things like this.
	These are not universal problems.
	They can be clamped out of line.
	Exactly.
	So it's just you and your little thing.
	Well, we're doing something big and systemic here.
	We've included all black people, a community of color.
	And it's like you're speaking these grand universal terms that sound like they come with And it allows them to win these arguments.
	And it's really insufferable because they do nothing good.
	Yeah, and it's totally true that they have the power.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Because, I mean, why is everyone in the Democratic Party afraid of getting cancelled?
	Exactly, because they've established that if they have this orthodoxy, and like you say, they've got their sets of shibboleths, they've got their words that they use to speak, and other people of like mind recognize these and go, right, he's one of us.
	And this is why you know that certain people will never be cancelled because they speak the woke, like, you know, orthodoxy.
	And it's that.
	They network using this sort of pattern of language.
	And Republicans, honestly, you're going to have to, MAGA folks, you're going to have to kind of figure out your own one.
	You are honestly going to have to be able to know who's reliable and who's not by just hearing what they say.
	And the left can do this with social justice language.
	You've got to have some sort of, you know, MAGA language that you can do it in.
	It has to.
	It's going to be the case.
	Anyway, so he continues in here.
	So the interviewer sort of like is upset about what he's saying.
	And you can hear the offense, even though it's written down.
	Sounds like you've got a problem with wokeness, James.
	It's like, how dare you?
	And he's like, yeah, wokeness is a problem and everyone knows it.
	It's hard to talk to anybody today.
	And I talked to lots of people in the Democratic Party who don't say this, but they don't want to say it out loud.
	Why not?
	We know why.
	We know exactly why.
	Because you're running a reign of terror in the Democratic Party using this Ingsoc woke ideology, this radical left-wing view of how society should be run, and it should be run with the intention of amassing power alone.
	Because power is the god of woke ideology.
	And as we see, as we were saying about being cancelled, he says, well, why not?
	And James responds, because they'll get clobbered or cancelled.
	Told you.
	And look, part of the problem is that lots of Democrats will say that they have to listen to everybody and we have to include every perspective or that we don't have to run ruthless messaging campaigns.
	Well, you kind of do, and it really matters.
	And he goes on to talk about the fact that you need to stop speaking Hebrew and speaking Yiddish, because it's a reference.
	But anyway, I want to skip through this because of time.
	So he gets asked a question later.
	What does that mean?
	And him talking about all that.
	And he says, take someone like Democratic congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
	She's obviously very bright.
	She knows how to draw a headline.
	I like how he's sort of dodging a bullet there.
	He's like, ideology is not bright, but she can draw a headline.
	Yeah, that's true at least.
	In my opinion, some of her political aspirations are impractical and probably not going to happen, but that's probably the worst thing you could say about her.
	I think there's a lot of worst things you could say.
	And then he says, now take someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, the new Republican congresswoman from Georgia.
	She's absolutely lunier than a tune.
	We all know it.
	And yet, for some reason, the Democrats pay a bigger political price for AOC than Republicans pay for Green.
	That's the problem in a nutshell, and it's ridiculous because AOC and Green are not comparable in any way.
	They're exactly the same.
	They're exactly the same.
	They are female ideologues for their political persuasion.
	They are exactly the same in every single respect.
	The only thing is that AOC is actually just better at it than Green, because Green is very new, and AOC has been doing this for years now.
	She knows exactly what to do, and she's got some natural advantages.
	She's more attractive.
	She's completely embedded within the superstructure of the Democrat Party.
	You know, they can't get rid of her.
	Whereas the Republicans, it is conceivable they would do something against Green because the left-wing media would persecute her enough where they're like, okay, well...
	But here's the thing, like Green, what has she actually done that's crazy?
	Well, the America First Caucus.
	Which is saying that we should have Anglo-Saxon political traditions.
	It's not even we should have, we should respect Anglo-Saxon political traditions.
	Yeah, because they do have Anglo-Saxon political traditions, whether they like it or not.
	It's tangible, you can point to it, it's a thing.
	Whereas with AOC, it's like, we're all going to die in 12 years because of global warming, you know, we need to kill the cows, and I'm just like...
	These things aren't like each other.
	We need to abandon air travel.
	I'm sure Hawaii's thrilled with that suggestion.
	Marjorie is based in reality.
	There's no idealism about some perfect state she wants to create that I've seen.
	AOC has been proposing bills like that for a long time.
	Giving the uncharitable read of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and I don't know much about her, but I would imagine that the Democrats can't really distinguish her from QAnon.
	Sure, but by the looks of it, they'd just be wrong.
	I don't know.
	I don't know whether she does, but they would see the ethos and see the general thrust in which she's going and be like, okay, that's basically QAnon.
	Anyway, so he continues in here.
	So, I hear versions of this argument about language and perception all the time, James.
	It's an old problem.
	What's the solution?
	And he responds.
	of you lots of smart people are going to read it and hopefully they can figure out uh figure out that which i can't but if you're asking me i think it's because lots of parts of this country view us as urban coastal arrogant party and lots of us don't be sorry and a lot gets passed through that filter that's the real thing i don't give a damn what anyone thinks about it it's a real phenomenon and it's damaging the party brand certainly is It's only because you so obviously are coastal elites who think you can remake society in your own image.
	That's why that comes out.
	It's not some quirk of the system.
	It's why it happens.
	So I'm going to skip past a bit here just against the last bit here.
	He asks him, so what do you think Democrats can do differently besides not having to peddle politically toxic ideas like abolishing the police?
	It goes to show how in a hole you are.
	And he talks about Jim Jordan apparently knowing some paedophile, but I don't want to get involved in that because I don't know what the case is.
	Imagine being like, well, this Republican knew a paedophile.
	Okay, well, let's talk about Democratic presidents.
	Who flew on pedophile jets.
	Well, I think the Republican here was the House leader for the Republicans and then admitted to doing it later.
	Sure, okay.
	So I think that's true, but also I don't want to get into it because I don't know what the facts of it are and I don't want to get into it.
	Okay, let's just assume it's true, though.
	Bill Clinton was the President of the United States and brought Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the White House.
	He flew on Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express at least 26 times.
	He's not claiming that all Republicans are pedophiles.
	I know, I know.
	I've got time.
	He's just saying that you should use that to hit them in that point, but...
	But they can't.
	That's what I'm saying.
	They can't.
	Hey, your guy's a pedo.
	Bitch!
	You know, look at you!
	So anyway, the thing I wanted to get to is him saying, look at Florida.
	You have Democrats saying Florida is a lost cause.
	Really?
	In 2018 in Florida, giving felons the right to vote got 64%.
	And in 2020, a $15 minimum wage, which passed with 67% of approval.
	if you give me an environment in which the majority of voters want to expand the franchise to felons and raise the minimum wage i should be able to win that that's certainly not a political environment i'm destined to lose in but in miami-dade all they talked about was defunding the police and kamala harris being the most liberal senator in the united states and if you look across the rio grande valley we've lost all kinds of solidly blue voters and the faculty lounge bs is a big part of it yeah He's totally right.
	I mean, that is the major issue the Democrats have with their messaging, if we just want to look at that from Machiavellian's standpoint, without getting into whether or not anything's true and blah blah blah.
	And this is why, if you can get up Tim Scott's speech where he's denouncing critical race theory and saying this is evil, yeah, I mean, this is the thing the Republicans can hit you on, and they can hit you so solidly that even the media won't defend you, because there is no defence.
	There is absolutely no defense to, yeah, the Democrats are all calling him essentially the N-word, and that's our position as Democrats.
	I mean, you look awful, and this Democratic strategist is pointing that out.
	And I don't know why the Democratic Party, the responsible thing to do would be to say, I don't care if they're a minority or a majority.
	All of this wokeness, it's essentially the clan, kick it out, because it just harms you as well.
	It doesn't thank you at all.
	But that's the problem.
	This guy's the strategist, he's just looking at the facts of the matter.
	And they're not going to listen to him.
	And he's not a theorist.
	They'll just turn around and say, well, you're a straight white man, not interested in your opinion.
	But I like the way you frame it, this woke stuff, it's essentially the clan, kick it out.
	That's correct.
	That's exactly correct.
	And they're already yelling the N-word at the Negro who decided he would like to be a Republican.
	I mean, unironically, that used to be Democrat propaganda, go back 100 years.
	Like, the Republican Party is for the Negro, the Democrat Party is for the white man.
	Yeah, I mean, Google that.
	You can see the leaflets.
	It's awful.
	And here we are again.
	The Republican Party is...
	But it's interesting to see that a bunch of the Democrats are recognizing that as a problem.
	But without further ado, let's go to the video questions.
	Carl, allow me to explain to you how ridiculous you sound with this whole water nonsense, right?
	Do you see this?
	Okay, this is why both me and Callum do not respect any of this nonsense.
	That isn't hot, and it's not burning.
	It's just the medium of which the burn and the heat travel.
	I know it's fire, but you're too stupid to understand.
	Now, that's how ridiculous you sound.
	Okay, none of us respects this.
	Okay.
	That's not really the same.
	And I don't know why you're taking it so personally.
	But in physics, heat is not the same as water being wet, because it's the amount of energy the molecules have.
	But it's philosophically not sound either, because the heat is an impression in your own mind.
	I just hate the water is wet whole debate.
	Because it's so pedantry and so philosophical, I just don't even care.
	That's why I like it.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Yeah.
	Okay, I hope you find that funny, but essentially my schedule makes it so I have to send video messages that'll turn up as a reply to something like a day or two later after the actual thing I'm replying to.
	But, um, Bonga, Bonga, Bonga, Bonga!
	If Bonga's watching this, you're a chad, okay?
	Dump that girl!
	Dude, never take her back, just say, no, you've made your bed, sleep in it, deal with the consequences.
	Twitter is not a good thing, just get off of it.
	To be honest with you, Bonga didn't really do anything.
	That was the thing.
	Yeah, Bonga got dumped, so he's certainly free.
	She went on Twitter, she got radicalised, I guess, in a way, and then dumped Bonga, and Bonga was just like, alright.
	But yeah, I'm team Bonga.
	I love the chat.
	When we started, I could see people being like, Bonga, Bonga, Bonga, every day.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Hi Carl, my best friend made a very good point about Bigfoot to me one day.
	He said everyone keeps saying how, oh, if he existed we'd have found him by now, but what they don't realise is the scale that's involved.
	Where you're supposed to live, you can go from a town and walk 200 miles before you get to the next civilised point.
	That's the same as walking from Trafalgar Square all the way up to Leeds without seeing a single person, a house or even crossing a road.
	Well, we're going to have to get that Bigfoot podcast done, aren't we?
	Yeah.
	Oh, God, the next one's about Bigfoot.
	Because that's one of the points I made.
	Yeah.
	Go on.
	So, what am I getting in my Bigfoot video?
	Why is this so popular?
	Is that it?
	That's all you asked.
	It's just what are we getting in the Bigfoot video?
	I guess we'll record it, like, I don't know, tomorrow or Monday or something.
	I don't know.
	Sorry, the studio this week has been booked for literally everything.
	We've done so many interviews and things, but we'll get it done as soon as we can.
	I'm just wondering what you think of this.
	I've been piecing this together.
	You know how the BLM people, after Chauvin was charged, or convicted rather, they all said that George Floyd, that justice would have been George Floyd going home to his family.
	They're saying that there will never be peace.
	So yeah, that's what I meant to say.
	So I only uploaded half of the clip.
	But until Sauron comes along and raises him from the dead, it looks like we're pretty screwed.
	Hi there, Carl.
	I don't know if you remember, but back in 2017, you had some fat guy on your Thinkery channel, and he said...
	Absolutely nothing.
	I honestly think we can shitpost our way into real life with this.
	I do.
	I mean, definitely when the census comes around, we can put Kekestani on there.
	I mean, literally, I think if we've got like 10,000 people doing this, they would probably have to have some kind of information on their computers.
	You know, they'd have to register it as something.
	So the question is, where was the call to memes?
	Oh, we did do it.
	I don't know if you saw.
	Like, we did the video about the census.
	Yeah, but I felt it was a bit of a dead meme at this point.
	The census was too far away, unfortunately.
	There was also some more funny memes at the time, like the super straight.
	Yeah.
	That was the main thing.
	Yeah.
	But, yeah, I just felt that the moment had passed, to be honest.
	Alrighty.
	To Carl's point about the school system right now, I have two learning disorders, so I have an IQ of 137 but couldn't read till I was 10.
	And how my public school teachers addressed this was to take me out of normal class and put me in a room in front of a computer to play word games unsupervised.
	So both my parents worked full-time to homeschool me.
	And sure I ended up eccentric, but I mean that's why I'm here, aren't I? So I was wondering what your thoughts were on that, because I think that that's what a lot more people are going to have to do with this current situation.
	Like with anything, people who fall outside of the norm in these ways to fully reach their potential require some sort of individual care, and that's what homeschooling would be for.
	I mean, you couldn't expect a curriculum that would be suitable for her to be suitable for your average 100 IQ person.
	And that's what you've got to make public schooling for.
	So you've unfortunately got to go to the lowest common denominator, don't you?
	I'm not against homeschooling.
	Nothing wrong with it.
	I don't really have an opinion on it because I haven't had enough life experience.
	Okay, gang, the idea that Makia Bryant died because of American racism is just absolutely asinine, folks.
	You know, this expectation that the cops should be, like, an action movie hero and, like, roll to the side and shoot the knife out of her hands is just absolute nonsense.
	I'll tell you more about that in just one second.
	But first, you're bad at predicting the future, which is why my friends over at Policy Genius can help you find a life insurance policy that works for you.
	Type in policygenius.com slash Ben for 20% off.
	That's brilliant.
	But I mean, Mr.
	Shapiro is correct.
	It is ridiculous that they could have shot the knife out of her hand.
	So, you know, can't argue with him.
	Oof.
	A little bit to get through.
	Mr.
	Burton, it lasted three days.
	Carl, people that ejaculate include women.
	You're no Chad.
	And French coup?
	Yeah, that sounds good to me.
	Um...
	Let's let them clean their place up and then we can pop over, they can surrender, we can get some nice beachfront properties.
	Sounds good.
	Plans coming together, to be honest.
	The female ejaculation part, I mean, not in the Queen's country, governor.
	Thanks to Theresa May, actually.
	What?
	Oh, yeah.
	Good point.
	She banned female ejaculation in all British porn, so not accepted.
	I love the idea that this is like keeping Theresa May up at night.
	Her husband's like, what's wrong, darling?
	What's wrong?
	You've got entire countries.
	There are women ejaculating in porn made in this country, and that actually is wrong.
	They were also banning, what did they ban?
	They banned spanking, caning, and all sorts of petty nonsense.
	Yeah, why are you worrying about this, Teresa?
	Yeah, nice.
	God knows why.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Hi Callum, you asked if the sun has a surface and as you can see here the answer is yes.
	Regarding the silver subscription perk, I think the answer is obvious.
	With a bronze subscription you can upload a written comment and with the gold subscription you can upload a video comment.
	So with the silver subscription you should be able to upload a picture comment.
	And for that, I would like to submit my first non-advert advert, and I hope you enjoy it and it's not too spicy.
	Oh god!
	Gillette, come on, when are you going to announce this?
	I would agree with that, but the thing is, the question is of time, because we'd have more silver subscribers than gold subscribers, and then we'd have to go through loads of different pictures, and it would take forever, wouldn't it?
	If we had them on the show.
	But...
	Oh, for people who are listening, there's an image of Michaela Bryant with a knife about to stab the black girl, and it's sponsored by Gillette, because girls will be girls.
	I mean, come on, what's Gillette going to do if they were showed this and asked to denounce it?
	Because if they denounce it, then they're throwing the narrative of girls will be girls under the bus that the Democrats are pushing.
	And if they endorse it...
	Ugh!
	Like...
	Honestly, I'm just glad that there was a heroic cop, a good guy with a gun present to save the life of that black woman who was under attack.
	And I mean that sincerely.
	People should screenshot this and just stop posting it underneath Gillette's Twitter feed.
	Come on, come on, let's see what you have to say about it.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Hey Callum, so you're going to want to start by treating the dog rubbing in between their eyes and if you get a small set of clippers you can do that While you're running the clippers so that the dog gets used to the vibrations.
	Next you'll take your clippers and you'll just shave out the corners of the eyes like I'm doing here once the dog is used to it.
	Some dogs are really really skittish about the clippers so what you're going to want to do is to get a pair of curve shears.
	You could buy a cheap pair and Like this and just cut the fur in between the eyes like that.
	Finally, to get the fur on top of the head, you're going to want to comb forward like that and then take the curved shears and just go around the front of the dog.
	Also, I'm not saying be mean to dogs.
	I'm saying I can't have empathy when I'm holding a dog's paw and it's screaming at the top of its lungs even though I haven't done anything yet.
	Hope this helps.
	bye yeah that's perfect though i the you know the dog in question it's uh it's from romania and it has a leg missing so it's it's had a rough life and it doesn't like clippers at all but i'm sure some some shears would work perfectly so yeah thank you we need more wholesome things like that yeah that was nice uh daniel y says war is peace freedom of slavery ignorance of strength people is government uh white hot peppers hey dude she says
	i was so angry watching this last night especially when he said we have to respect our men and women in uniform and badges and the camera cuts and maxine waters standing and clapping with all those other slimy scumball politicians I was literally screaming at the TV when he said he was going to start another cancer organization, because his last one was caught laundering money, and none went to help find a cure for cancer.
	F all of them.
	I hated being a human meat shield for these...
	Not very nice people.
	These Jeffrey Epstein friends and connoisseurs.
	And so did every other soldier there.
	My biggest regret is not telling them all off when I was in the chamber with them while I was there.
	Yeah, it's pretty awful.
	Yeah, I mean, we stand up for our, what was it, we respect men and women in uniform.
	I mean, they literally got fed non-cooked food when they were defending you in the capital.
	Yeah, and you literally had scorn for them.
	Yeah, but also the cancer thing.
	I mean, that's totally true.
	I've kind of forgotten about that, even though we did an episode on it.
	He started a cancer organization to help cure cancer.
	I mean, it's a perfectly normal thing to do.
	Raised millions of dollars and then spent 98% of it on salaries.
	Yeah.
	It's disgusting.
	They're the most corrupt, untrustworthy people.
	The salaries as well, of course, people who were close to him.
	So he was just laundering money back to his supporters.
	Yeah.
	I mean, much like a fascist does, actually.
	It's exactly what the Nazis did.
	Like, oh, this is the canard that the left...
	Oh, the fascists privatized loads of things.
	You don't privatize anything in a totalitarian state, one, but look who they gave it to.
	Party members.
	Party members.
	So it's not private.
	It is owned by literal members of the government.
	This is what we call corruption.
	Like, God, the narrative is just such obvious lies when it comes to all of these things.
	Well, we're not putting that on YouTube.
	Disavow that comment.
	Yep, disavow.
	Peter Trumbull.
	People are seriously underestimating the malicious intent of the current US administration.
	I'm not.
	They want to run an autocracy modelled on China and believe democracy will leave the US far behind.
	Biden says as much last night.
	That's exactly what I said.
	Exactly what I said.
	They want to become a fascist state to compete with another fascist state.
	Because they're worried that the fascists will out-compete them.
	Again, Joe Biden, we've said, you could very easily present the moral case for China currently undergoing a genocide, China currently enslaving its own population, China currently being an expansionist, imperialist power, and say, look, if you're an American company, you don't get to do business with this regime.
	This regime is illegitimate, and we don't recognize it, and it has to go.
	And we're not going to allow you to feed it, because that's what's happened with the commerce that's happened.
	I mean, they literally have ethnic minorities as slaves who are picking cotton.
	I mean, you would have thought this would be an easy-peasy case.
	Yeah, I mean, you could make this case in one line like I did.
	He's a Democrat, so...
	Yes, exactly.
	He is indeed a Democrat.
	As God intended, says Joe Biden.
	All right, so don't tell him that bit.
	But yeah, but this is the point.
	If you can't make a moral case against China, which Joe Biden seems to be unable to do, then I guess the only solution is to become China.
	You're completely right.
	Core Wizard says, I made it very clear to Putin we're not going to seek escalation so very clear.
	Everything he says sounds so condescending.
	When, like, Al Gore is explaining Man Bear Pig and nobody believes him.
	Yeah, well, there's the thing, like...
	No one thinks that Joe Biden is not bought and paid for, do they?
	No one believes that he's an American patriot, do they?
	No one believes that he's America first or anything like this.
	So it's just embarrassing.
	Zen Chan.
	I can't take this seriously when they're all wearing those ridiculous nappies on their faces.
	What I love is Pelosi's look behind her, because Kamala looked like she was kind of imperial, to be honest.
	She's holding herself well.
	And Nancy Pelosi is like...
	What is she, like 65?
	82.
	Oh, God, okay.
	She's ancient.
	She's as old as the bloody hills, probably as old as the republic itself, from the English perspective.
	And so, yeah, I mean, I'm amazed that she stayed awake for the whole thing.
	Civic Nationalist says, once this is all over, all of the people who supported lockdowns will change their opinion on them later, but the same as the collaborators of the Nazis, they should be called out and told that they're responsible for all of these issues later on.
	Yes.
	Biden...
	No, I can't tell the joke, never mind.
	Biden's mention to reduce travel poverty harkens back to Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson, who put in place welfare for the black population to make them dependent on the government so that, in his words, those N-words will vote for us for 200 years.
	Well, again, I mean, Democrats don't really change very much, do they, apparently?
	But this is what I was saying.
	You're just going to make more people, more and more people dependent on the state.
	This is untenable.
	And eventually, you will have to have, like, and he said, you know, we're going to have things, you know, bought in America, made in America.
	It's like, okay, so what are you going to do?
	Are you going to set up just government-owned workshops?
	And you're going to pay people $15 now to work in these workshops?
	And eventually, just everyone will be working for the state?
	The children separated from their parents at three years old so they can get their education, so they can work in the work factories, just so Joe Biden can defeat China in GDP? This is awful.
	I hate it.
	I don't think you could draw a better analogy there as well, the fact that he takes the quote from Lyndon B. Johnson saying, we'll have those N-words voting for us for 200 years.
	And then the Washington Post being like, yeah, these black Republicans are going beyond their limits.
	Yeah, these Uncle Tims.
	Democrats have entrapped the black population.
	Now they're lining their sights on children.
	Yes.
	The documentary maker Martin Durkin was interviewed on the New Culture Forum about his new documentary, The Great American Race Game, that was available online for a small fee.
	Very interesting.
	I haven't heard of that.
	Henry Ashman, those big companies are big because everyone uses their services and buys their goods.
	If Biden stuck a 5% tax on, say, Amazon, guess what?
	Amazon jacks up the prices 5% to cover that.
	Or they cut the wages of their workers.
	Or they cut the wages of the workers.
	Or they find workers who will do the job cheaper elsewhere.
	HR Slave says, one of the cringiest parts of Biden's speech for me was when he made a commitment to cure cancer.
	Can you imagine the ridicule that would have ensued if Trump had made a statement like that?
	Yeah, I know.
	Like, Biden's magical cancer-curing scrofula touch.
	Didn't he do this before?
	Yeah, yeah, he did.
	And it was ridiculous then.
	And it's ridiculous.
	LAUGHTER It's just whenever he's walking around, I'll cure cancer.
	Yeah, okay, mate.
	Donate to my cancer charity.
	That's the thing.
	So, yeah, it's...
	I mean, Trump would have just been ridiculed to high heaven and back saying, well, look, if curing cancer was just that easy, we would have done it already.
	But anyway...
	Media just, no word.
	Joey saying, corporations will never pay tax.
	They'll offset their expenses to their customers.
	Democrats know this, but the voters are too stupid to see the sleight of hand.
	The Democrats are voting to tax themselves while thinking they're sticking it to the evil corporations.
	Yeah, and have you noticed that the price of everything is going up in Joe Biden's America as well?
	I saw a Fox News graphic that was going around Parler or something the other day that was just talking about the price of lumber, and this is what Ben Shapiro's been going on about.
	The price of lumber is like four times what it was a year ago.
	That's ridiculous.
	Just raw materials.
	The price of raw materials is going up through the roof.
	Why?
	Because of Biden.
	I've seen a lot of, what is it, that account?
	Biden voters online posting their L's?
	Whatever.
	Just all of it now is just people taking pictures of their gas prices.
	I'd like to re-vote, please.
	Yes.
	Yes, you would.
	But unfortunately, you don't get that option.
	Truth is that they want to take our children away from us and minimise the parents' influence.
	That's correct.
	We're just incubators for the state financially supporting the next generation of debt slaves, our overlords with their blood, sweat and tears.
	That's exactly right.
	They think they own your children.
	They think they own black people.
	They think they own you.
	And eventually, when they have criminalized the way that you can run your own business and forced you to shut down and offered the only, you know, the government factories become open and $15 now, what are you going to do?
	Turn that down?
	You need that food.
	You need that work.
	You need that money.
	And you're going to end up as everyone is going to end up as the atomized ward of the state.
	You have no particular relationship, no particular family.
	Everyone will be in government-run care.
	And this will be the true apotheosis of fascism.
	This is what they want.
	This is what they're getting.
	And Joe Biden laid it all out.
	If there is a single conservative who doesn't agree, let me know.
	I want to hear from you.
	I want to know why you are blind to Joe Biden's plans for the United States.
	Because they're terrifying.
	It's awful.
	Awful.
	And totally un-American, in essence.
	It's very French, frankly.
	Anyway.
	Problem Child says, there are two reasons I want Biden to stay in office, and it's almost like they were strategically placed behind him during the speech to remind everyone it can get worse.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	Let them get worse.
	Let them get worse.
	Because that's the only way this is going to get any better.
	Call the accelerationist.
	Well...
	Yeah.
	What options have you got?
	You know?
	No, let Joe Biden implement his plan and see how bad he gets.
	Racial discrimination in the law.
	Okay, fine.
	Yeah, let's take it further.
	Let's build the water fountains again.
	And apparently everyone voted for this.
	Everyone was like, yeah, Joe Biden, bring back segregation.
	You know, like what?
	Did you see the point where he said, what was it?
	Constitutional amendments aren't permanent?
	Yeah.
	And he's like, wait, wait, wait.
	Jim Crow Joe suddenly takes on a new meaning.
	Sounds a bit misogynist, Joe.
	Got to get rid of women's voting rights, huh?
	Yeah.
	Women's voting rights, anti-segregation.
	The South shall rise again.
	I mean, God, Joe, where's this going?
	You know?
	We the people is the government.
	Is the new government is just the word for what we do together.
	These people replace Christianity with state worship, which is why the cathedral term is so accurate.
	Yes.
	This is why BLM and Antifa are burning down people's businesses is okay, but people wandering through the Capitol building is so offensive and unacceptable.
	Yeah, I hate that so much, right?
	The sacred democracy.
	It's only sacred if it is the power that is your God.
	I mean, personally, I viewed the people's rights as being sacred, inviolable, imbued by their creator, whatever you think that is.
	This is what I thought we were supposed to be viewing sacred, at least by America's founding documents.
	But no, now if it's the Capitol building, fuck the Capitol building.
	The hell with it.
	You know, I would burn down a million Capitol buildings before one person's shop.
	That's how I view it.
	And so they're like, oh, don't care.
	Literally don't care.
	Washington, D.C. Downtown Washington, D.C. is on fire because of Black Lives Matter.
	But some old people went into the Capitol.
	Oh, God.
	Look at QAnon's shaman.
	Doesn't he look kooky?
	Yeah, but what did he do?
	Didn't burn anything down.
	Yeah, but it really upset Nancy Pelosi, you see.
	Well, he blessed our seat.
	Yeah, exactly, you know.
	The Democrats complained about the Civil War, saying it was a bad thing.
	The war that freed the slaves is now being painted as bad.
	Why are people missing that?
	Good point.
	Because they lost.
	That's why.
	It's funny to me that the Democrats keep harping on about institutional racism as if they don't currently control all the institutions.
	It's like an arsonist screaming about houses on fire and it's the homeowner's fault.
	Yeah, it's mad, isn't it?
	It was like the Church of England where they were like, yes, the Church of England is racist, so says the leader of the Church of England.
	Wait, so what does that make you?
	Yeah.
	You're the one in charge of all the institutions.
	Racist in chief.
	And then he was like, no, we're going to join BLM and be with our fellow racists.
	But I mean, literally, if Biden's like, yeah, America's systemically racist, well, who's in charge?
	Just saying.
	The left admits they are too woke.
	Since when did pigs fly?
	Well, when you say the left, what it is, is, you know, one old school, you know, this guy comes out like unionist politics, you know, from the 70s and 60s and stuff.
	So he's, you know, Democrat, but not...
	All the old Democrats.
	Yeah, he's one of the old Democrats.
	Pre-2010, 2012, whatever it would be.
	And he's just looking at this going, look, we've messed up.
	Woke will always be worse than supremacist, because supremacist is just racist, but woke is racist and smug.
	That's a great point.
	Laurenton says, the line between socialism and sociopathy grows thinner every day and at this point is barely observable.
	Yes.
	From Odyssey.
	Yeah, yeah, because we're streaming on Odyssey.
	So hello to everyone on Odyssey.
	Thank you for checking us out.
	So Woot Woot says, it's great to have you live here.
	More people need to get on board with this.
	Well, as I understand it, the Odyssey, it's a beta.
	And it's working all right?
	It's useful.
	Great.
	So yeah, we were invited to help beta test Odyssey's live streaming services and apparently it's going great, which is good.
	James Lee says, I've just finished your podcast on ethical companies with collectivist ends.
	Brilliant podcast.
	We do a book club on Gramsci's prison notebooks.
	A lot of Marxist thought in the universities now relies heavily on Gramsci since the discrediting of Marxist Leninism in the 20th century.
	Maybe worth covering, since his ideas of cultural hegemony links to your discussions on taking back the institutions.
	Yes, but not in the immediate future.
	But basically, we're going to be essentially doing like an intellectual arc with these things, and we will get to all of this.
	So we'll begin with like...
	At some point, we'll start with the French Revolution, because that's really where all of this comes from.
	And then we'll go through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, going through all of this.
	Because, I mean, I really want to do one on the Communist Manifesto, just because, like, before I started studying all of this stuff, it seemed like it was intellectual.
	And now afterwards, I'm just like, there is nothing about this that's true, and we can knock it all down.
	But yes, we will get to Gramsci eventually.
	Next time someone asks, do you want to kill Granny?
	You should encounter with, I thought that is how we could save the NHS. All jokes aside, what should we reply with?
	I'd reply with, well, Granny voted for Brexit.
	I mean, there would be the left's position on this.
	The British left is just like, well, why do you want to save Granny?
	Like, they hate the elderly.
	Yeah, they hate the elderly.
	They're all bigots.
	Granny's a racist.
	Granny doesn't think that David Lammy's English.
	Moving on.
	We actually have a premium podcast on that.
	Yeah, this is a really good one as well.
	Dean says, Nothing I can summarise now, I'm afraid.
	But we will continue to work on it.
	We will.
	I really hate that term, though.
	You've been radicalised by the internet.
	Like, the internet is just a medium.
	But it's not even like you've been radicalised by Fox News.
	You've been radicalised by the internet.
	It's like saying you've been radicalised by books.
	Yes.
	Like, and what?
	It doesn't tell you if it's wrong or not.
	No.
	Well, that's exactly the point.
	You've been radicalized by the internet.
	But the medium of exchange.
	Like, I've been radicalized by people speaking.
	I've been radicalized by interpretive dance.
	I mean, how far do you take this?
	Exactly.
	No.
	The correct response, I think, would be, I've been radicalized by the government taking full control over society in the way that the fascists did.
	I like the phrase radicalized by reality.
	Yeah, radicalized by your behavior.
	Mike Luth says, I've come here today to rebuke the keto bros.
	My arms are wide, my stomach is small, and I did it all with sugar and bread on the menu.
	I don't care, I'm getting my shame back.
	Now excuse me why I enjoyed my pulled pork sandwich with a slice of milkshake in my glorious house of gains.
	I call this the first of my 95 theses keto Catholics.
	It's not on.
	It's not on.
	It is written in the one true book of keto that you're not allowed to do these things, even if they give good results.
	The water is wet discussion is post-modernism.
	Stop it!
	No!
	Annie K says, That's a good question, and I guess I would suggest by approaching it with emotional sensitivity, not saying that she's going to mutilate herself, even though that's technically a true description of what she's going to do.
	Yeah, emotional sensitivity and the difficulty is by kind of pulling a Diogenes on her.
	And say, well, what's a woman?
	And she'll say, well, it's someone who wears a dress.
	It's someone who has long hair and wears makeup.
	And you'll essentially have to go, well, behold a man.
	You know, with the plucked chicken example.
	And essentially point out, look, that's not going to make you a man.
	Or it's not going to make you a woman.
	If that's the argument you're trying to make.
	But I don't think it'll be accepted very well.
	I mean, you'll be very offended by this.
	And you will probably lose a friend if you do that.
	So...
	I'm never a big fan of telling people to break up with their friends.
	Ah, John's got a good point.
	Would it be an idea to show her regret stories from people like her?
	That's brilliant.
	Thank God we've got someone smart in the office.
	Yeah, no, that's great.
	We should do like a podcast with a bunch of transgender regret stories because they're really, really awful.
	Really awful.
	And unless you are absolutely certain that this is the solution for you, if there's any shred and hint of doubt in your mind, don't do it.
	Because some of the stories I've read are just the worst things in the world.
	A sex reassignment surgery, or what a gender reassignment surgery it's sometimes called.
	That surgery is not...
	Deeply experimental.
	That's what it is.
	It literally can't make you a woman.
	No.
	It doesn't happen.
	Just look it up.
	Show her a video of it.
	It's pretty extreme.
	And you'll notice at the end that the person isn't a woman, they're a wounded person.
	They have a wound that tries to heal.
	And that's also something I quite like about our country is that the NHS does recognize the three-year wait.
	I know a lot of progressives want to eliminate all of that.
	Of course it does.
	It's because it makes you actually consider these things and make sure you're not running into it.
	So there's a process.
	You have to take the hormone therapy.
	I think it's like counseling therapy, things like this.
	And if you're still having problems with gender dysphoria, then the government says they legalize the sex replacement therapy.
	Yeah.
	Good God, I mean, just look at it.
	I mean, I think anyone who just watches a video of it taking place couldn't decide.
	I actually couldn't steal myself to watch a video of it taking place.
	I just read the accounts of it afterwards, and that was enough.
	Anyway, on that bombshell, we're going to end the show.
	So we will be back.
	I should do some shilling before we end, actually.
	So we've got the interview with Richard Tice and Calvin Robinson we'll be putting up soon.
	We've got the interview with David Curtin we're going to do immediately after this, which is in case anyone's wondering why we run out of time, because we have other things to do.
	But otherwise, we will be back at 1 o'clock tomorrow.
	Thank you very much.
