Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 6th of, what was it, March?
May.
May.
You get that wrong.
Yeah, oh well.
Anyway, 6th of May.
Welcome.
I'm joined by Rory.
Thanks for having me.
It's good to be here.
We're going to be talking about the wokest trying to deny that the CIA is on their side after the CIA endorsed wokism.
The fact that there's now the BLM for Chauvin movement by the looks of it.
There is.
At least by one juror.
And the 31st Anglo-French war is upon us.
Good God.
I didn't know there were 30 of them, but I'm proud of that.
Anyway, so just a little few things first.
So first, we have a new premium article on the website.
This is written by Lauren Southern, the political activist and documentary filmmaker on the rise of systemic tabloidism.
So go and give that watch if you're a premium member.
Also, we have coming up the Hannah the Navigator history podcast, which Carl did with Bo Dade.
So for people who might not know, I knew nothing about this.
was there's a guy who started in Carthage and then decided to sail all the way around to like West Africa. - Right. - And they're not too sure on like some of the locations.
But that's amazing.
Like he's the first guy to ever do it.
He did it in like the era of Carthage, not the age of exploration or anything.
And he found some gorillas and brought them back to Carthage.
It's just really funny.
Like, hell of a story.
Anyway, that should be up this afternoon, hopefully 5pm.
So if you're around then, go and watch that on LotusEaters.com.
But without further ado, let's get right into it.
So we covered yesterday the story of the CIA recruitment adverts and MI5 being unbelievably woke.
And some people have not taken this well, and they've tried to deny that the CIA are on their side because it makes them look bad, which, I mean, yeah, it does.
Likewise, the CIA making woke as propaganda.
We are the resistance.
Not sure.
And some of the Mickey's I've seen, so this is the Babylon Bee reporting here.
CIA replaces waterboarding with 12-hour lectures on intersectional feminism.
Maybe I shouldn't call it reporting.
It's sort of Babylon Bee's prophecies.
Yeah.
Like, if they're already endorsing wokeism, why would they not bring this into the interrogation room?
Indeed.
I mean, if you're Al-Qaeda.
Anyway, so, the original video that we showed, we showed someone who just, like, quoted it off, you know, they've taken a clip of it on Twitter.
But just so people can know, it's actually on the CIA's YouTube channel.
The CIA has a YouTube channel.
Of all things.
240,000 views.
Doing well, I guess.
10,000 dislikes.
Not so well, I guess.
But this is not like a one-time thing either.
You can see here they call it Humans of the CIA. And this is like a running series.
Weird phrasing.
Yeah.
We are humans, don't you?
Yeah.
We might torture and kidnap, but at least we're human.
Anyway, this is one of the best things I've ever seen in this particular video.
In case someone hasn't watched it, go and give it a watch.
Because you had some of the best stuff in there.
Such bangers as, I'm an intersectional, cisgendered, millennial woman of colour, and I have a mental disorder.
Like, hmm, okay.
Wonderful.
Like, protect the USA with that, I guess.
So there's the fact that they also posted on Twitter, in case you don't believe me and you think the CIA YouTube channel is a spook or something.
The CIA also has a Twitter account, which you can see the same clip from the advert here that links to the YouTube channel.
I still find it weird that the intelligence agencies have social media accounts, but whatever.
So there's loads of these.
It's not just a one-off.
So if we go to the next link, we can see here there's another video called Humans of CIA, and this one has a much lower number of views, but also equally a large number of dislikes.
What do these ladies do in the CIA? So these are all just different recruitment videos.
So they started to do like a series of videos called Humans of CIA for each different one.
It's a different person celebrating wokeism or diversity and inclusion or some and such.
And of course, she was the worst, the one with the 200,000 views.
You know, I'm an intersectional woman of color, cisgendered millennial.
Yeah.
God.
But some of the other stuff is also got flavors of that kind of language.
And I want to play a small compilation of some of the stuff I found just so you can, you know, see some of the other things.
So let's play this.
Then adding to that are the social challenges both women and people of color face, so it really just became a balancing act from there.
I struggled to feel included, but I was lucky to have a senior analyst recognize others' sometimes exclusive behavior.
And as an ally and genuine mentor, she encouraged me to pursue new opportunities, and every day I feel more empowered to speak up.
There are people here who recognize that and are holding CIA as an institution accountable for the diversity and inclusion that it champions.
Growing up gay in a small southern town, I was lucky to have a wonderful and accepting family.
I always struggled with the idea that I might not be able to discuss my personal life at work.
Imagine my surprise when I was taking my oath at CIA and I noticed a rainbow on then-director Brennan's lanyard.
I remember being stunned.
Inclusion is a core value here.
Whatever their gender, gender identity, race, disability, or sexual orientation can bring their entire self to work every day.
So it's kind of mind-numbing, but of course there's the worst one, there's just the other parts.
Although you can see some of the language in there, like the term ally she uses, for example.
I did think that.
You can see its intersectional terms.
The sorts of people you want fighting the Pablo Escobars of the world.
So totally prepared.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to bore him to death.
Okay.
So this isn't even a surprise.
I don't know why anyone would doubt that this is the situation of the United States' upper echelons when you've had decades upon decades of indoctrination.
And now these people, of course, have got jobs.
And many of them have got jobs within intelligence agencies, in the military, so on and so forth.
And this particular tweet, just as a summation, there's a whole bunch of different woke stuff that's come out of different branches of the US military since Biden took office.
But this one, I think, capulated just the stupidity of it.
I mean, so this guy.
History was made on Friday with the first ever all-gay US Navy helicopter crew.
Wow.
What do you mean history is made?
Like, there's some guys who are talented, they can operate a helicopter, and that's what's interesting about them, and now they're gay.
That's what's super interesting.
But also the absurdity, it's like the literal memes of Trump bombs you, it's a plane, you know, Biden bombs you, it's a plane, but it's got Black Lives Matter and a rainbow flag.
Like, they're literally in the helicopter with the rainbow flag.
Yes, America and tolerance.
I'm sure the Taliban would be terrified.
I mean, it would be a good strategy for terrifying the Taliban, actually.
It's like, you bring them in, you lock them down, we're going to interrogate you.
We'll never crack.
Just bring in, like, five guys who start, like, dancing in front of them.
Could you make a martyr out of someone who was killed by that crew?
Oh, I don't know.
I wanted to go on.
So the response, as I said, is there are types in the left trying to neglect that this has anything to do with their movement, because it looks bad that the left are now endorsed by the CIA. So this is a Vice article, Vice being a woke outlet.
The CIA's woke ad is an absurd psyop.
Hmm.
That's melting people's brains.
It's a psyop.
The CIA are playing 4D chess.
They're trying to convince you that we like wokeism just to get in there or something.
There's no reason that the coup-plotting agency...
There's no reason to take the coup-plotting agency at face value.
But many commenters have done so just for that in the past week.
It's like, well...
What do you mean?
Like, that's their recruitment ads putting at you.
And there's not just one, there's loads of them.
And as we've seen in Britain, this isn't even a surprise.
Like, the MI5, MI6, and GCHQ have also done the same thing.
Internal documents show the same thing.
The leaks we've had to the LCS website that we put up from the administrative events have had the same thing.
There's no reason not to believe that it's the case that a bunch of people who have been indoctrinated at a university, quite frankly, have then gone to the workforce and have taken positions in the agency.
Yeah.
It's a pretty simple line to draw there.
Like, it's not hard.
But for some reason, the vice have got to deny that they have anything to do with the CIA, or at least that ideology does.
No, no, no, the CIA hate us, which was.
Like, well, what happens when they endorse you?
So he says something here.
For a while now, the Central Intelligence Agency has been rolling out a rebrand to attract diverse operatives with roots in countries they've terrorized with coups, rigged elections, death squads, and assassination plots.
All of the things the wokers would happily do to Americans en masse if they get their way.
It's not clear whether this agent actually exists.
Huh.
Not a surprise given the agency's history, or is a creation of a marketing firm well-versed in these sorts of campaigns.
So I love how he's like, this agent's not even real.
She's an actor.
It's like...
Huh, okay.
Remember when Alex Jones used to say stuff like this?
Yeah.
Like, you know, they're all actors.
It's like, okay, well now Vice says it about the CIA. They're all just play actors or something.
I mean, as I showed, there's not just one.
There's a whole bunch of those videos.
And they're all play acting as well, I guess.
And I assume Vice will be banned from every social media for saying so.
They continue.
But it is clear that the narrative has been finely calibrated to distort the meaning of intersectionality to apply to any set of interlocking symbols...
A nod to, quote, imposter syndrome here, a raised feminist fist icon there, the ad, it seems, was also finely calibrated to break the minds of everyone who gazed upon it.
They're saying that the narrative has been finely calibrated to distort the meaning of intersectionality.
Right.
Don't think it's distorting it, I think it's propagating it.
And can be applied to any set of interlocking symbols.
Any set.
Any set at all.
There's no particular kinds of symbols.
That's the point of intersectionality.
But the idea that there's no symbols of intersectionality.
The raised feminist fist.
No, no, no, no.
Come on.
Those are just spooks.
Okay, well, let's go to the Google search of it here.
All these symbols, they're symbols of intersectionality now.
Glad how that works.
Just any set of symbols.
I'm sure the CIA could have used these symbols.
You know, some bold guy standing as a skinhead with these kind of symbols all over him.
Just as valid as an intersectional agent.
Why not?
So, just going back to the article for a minute, there's one more quote.
So he says that, he takes a quote from Glenn Greenwald, who gives his opinion on this.
He says, I'm sorry to say Glenn Greenwald, because I quite like the guy.
His tweets are usually on point.
You're just wrong.
You're just absolutely wrong.
And Carl made a pretty good video about this called What is Woke Culture?
In which he takes quotes from Ash Sarkar defining what woke culture is after denying that woke culture exists.
And then just, you know, takes her word for it.
So she says in here that she wants on a political level redistributive goals, whether that's power, wealth, land, in order to pursue aims of social justice along class, gender and race lines.
Doesn't sound familiar at all.
Socialism.
Take the class bit.
If you wanted a political system which would redistribute land, power, and wealth on class lines, you've got yourself socialism.
She defines woke culture as doing that on, as well as class lines, gender and race lines.
We're going to redistribute land, power, and wealth on race and gender lines.
It's just race and gender socialism as well.
You've got the class socialism, then you've got the gender socialism, and the race socialism.
Fantastic.
I mean, that is what world culture is.
Thank you, Ash Sharkart, for defining it.
And if Glenn Greenwald wants to know, you can go give the video a watch, which everyone should.
It's a great video.
And of course, this violates the liberal principles of any liberal society.
I mean, fundamentally, the group identity should not be primary.
It should be the individual identity.
But also on the land and wealth part, you've got the point that, well, of course, it should not be that the state comes and just takes your property.
No, the state should protect your property rights if you're living in a liberal society, which is why the whole ideology, if it wasn't clear already, is completely antithetical to a liberal society and therefore repugnant.
So, he goes on, the author, to complain about Greenwald's argument that he thinks that wokeness is in the CIA. And he says, it conflates the left with wokeness, as if the CIA's development of this language should be taken at face value.
Conflates the left with wokeness.
What is the left?
Wow.
How could you define the left without socialism here?
I mean, do you think socialism's a right-wing ideology?
Like, race socialism, that's what the right-wingers are arguing for.
I'd say it was.
Why not?
Black Panthers, well-known right-wingers.
Anyway, so, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you say, it matters what you do.
Every corporation and government agency can adopt the anti-racist rhetoric or inclusive language it wants, but who cares?
Who cares?
So they're just saying it.
They're never going to actually do it.
And it's like, well, that's BS, and you know it.
As we covered yesterday, just hop across the pond to see where this goes.
And you can see that, for example, MI5, MI6, offering internships on the basis of your race.
You had to be black to apply.
If you're white, you could not get the internship.
And then when you go to the GCHQ, they had the same thing, in which there was an IT and customer support role we showed in this episode, and they said that you could only apply if you have BAME skin.
You know, Brown-skinned people can get the job, but whites can't.
I mean, if that's not a good enough reason to care, I don't know what is.
I mean, open racial discrimination.
And we're only there because our clock on this whole thing seems to tick faster with the French getting even faster.
But the Americans are just behind us.
So, I mean, look forward to that.
I mean, that's why you should care.
So, he goes on for the last line here, which I just found funny.
What it says in public simply does not matter, and turning propaganda into a week-long discourse cycle helps no one.
She's like, right, okay, so what that means is, please don't point out that the CIA has endorsed our ideology.
That is all this article is.
It's just like, the CIA comes out and endorses the woke left, and he's like, crap.
Don't let people know the feds support us.
Yeah, we are just feds.
I used the term last week, woke in the dark.
I quite like the term.
Woke in the dark.
In case you think I'm talking S and this guy, I don't know, maybe he's a secret right winger or something, just go to his Twitter account and just check out his bio.
like a terrorist attacking an innocent family, some quote, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, he, him.
He, him.
Pronouns in the bio.
Every single time.
It's something about it.
So, that's the left-wing response, which is to deny that this exists or is some kind of like 4D chess to try and undermine the woke movement or something.
And not just that these people have been to university and then got a job, which seems more reasonable.
So, then there's the right-wing response.
The right-wing response I find more based in reality.
So this is Mike Pompeo here.
"When I was director of the CIA, we valued individuals based on their talent and skill, not their race or sexuality." Shock horror.
"I'll never forget one of those female analysts who said to me, 'Thank you for valuing my work.
I want my abilities and achievements to define me, not my sexuality.'" Well, she's stuck in the past.
Get with the times, I guess.
What's wrong with that?
Tell me what is wrong with that.
I mean, this is literally MLK's dream, and the Republican Party and the Republicans here and the right in America are embodying that through and through, and the left is just like, no, no, no, we need to choose entirely people on race, and I just can't get over how they take themselves seriously in the world.
But there's also Ted Cruz.
So Ted Cruz had a good response to this as well, in which he saw the video.
If you're a Chinese communist or an Iranian mullah or Kim Jong-un, would this scare you?
To be honest, kind of yes.
Like, because one of the interesting things, I have like a bit of an obsession with North Korea.
One of the interesting things about their state ideology, when they're writing to the North Korean people in their newspapers or whatever...
They try and big up the degeneracy of America and South Korea that's been infected by Yankee nonsense.
I'm just like, well, on this point, this is Yankee nonsense that nobody needs, so they're not wrong about that.
This is what your country could become.
But one of the interesting things, I saw Tucker Carlson's response being half-joking, but of course that this is 4D chess.
This is 4D chess.
Actually, the CIA is on our side, guys.
They've got to recruit WOKUS to infect WOKUS movements and then bring them down from the inside.
So let's play this.
So maybe the CIA actually does know this.
Maybe they really have figured it out.
Maybe the intersectional lady with the emotional problems is in fact a deep cover operative.
Think about that.
It makes sense, actually.
When defeating ISIS was the goal, we recruited Arabic speakers.
Why wouldn't we?
Now that our own professional class is obviously the real threat, we need people who can blend in at McKinsey.
In the Middle East and here, we need agents who understand the enemy, who speak his language, who understand his customs, who can break bread with tribal leaders in a yurt in the mountains, or for that matter, in Napa, or on the Quad.
For a mission like that, we're going to need a brand new kind of spy.
The old kind will not do.
Imagine this guy trying to infiltrate the queer dance collective at Brown.
Bond.
James Bond.
Yeah, good luck, pal.
Good luck on the Brown campus.
Yes, those were cigarettes without filters, but not the right kind.
That guy was smoking testosterone-enhancing tobacco.
Think the enemy wouldn't notice that?
I love Tiger.
He did a whole great segment on this, but that was the best part.
You know, I want to believe, I really want to believe, Tiger, that it's 4D chest and the CIA and MI5 and GCHQ really have our backs here.
And they're trying to take down the greatest threat to Western civilization, which comes from within, which is embarrassing.
It's just socialist activists.
But no, I don't think it's true.
And the best example I have for this is probably some of the leaks we got, and I just want to demonstrate them again because they're so unbelievable.
So this was, uh, someone sent us this from the Royal Air Force, in which you can see here, this is an internal memo to all forces within the Royal Air Force.
You must, uh, you must now use common pronouns, which include they, she, he, ze, per, them, her, him, her, per, their, her, his, her, and pers.
You must learn all of these pronouns and then use them as appropriate at all times.
And I love some of the language in here.
It really sounds like something that come out of, like, China or the Soviet Union.
What does that even mean?
Total inclusivity.
I mean, if you want total inclusivity...
Okay, so inclusivity is you're accepting more things and therefore more tolerant.
But total inclusivity, like absolute inclusivity...
I mean, this is what the Prelef promotes when they're like, no, we need to be more inclusive, more inclusive, more inclusive.
What does that mean?
What it means is getting rid of exclusivity.
In which case, as Cole points out, when you get to the end point of this...
Well, how do you say that pedos shouldn't be legal and part of society, leftists?
Exactly.
If you've got total inclusivity, well, the pedophiles have an opinion, and therefore you need to be inclusive and tolerant and accept their sexual...
No.
No.
There are standards.
Get in the woodchipper.
Just get a flying pedo squadron in the air force.
Is that where the Royal Air Force wants to go?
Of course not.
In which case, start thinking, for Christ's sake.
Like, total inclusivity, or inclusivity for inclusivity's sake, is not a virtue.
It is entirely nonsense.
And you need exclusivity.
I mean, why do you have standards to join the Royal Air Force, then?
Why are you so exclusive?
Why do you have fitness standards?
Fat pride, you know?
No, of course not.
It was at one time the greatest flying force in the world, but...
I thought you were going to say that there was at one time a standard that you had to be a certain level of fat or something.
I don't have to be below a certain height.
Yeah.
Like, I know the RAF get bullied in the military.
Yeah, they do.
Every Air Force gets bullied because it's like, you're not real fighters going to sleep in your five-star hotels.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah, that's why I find the leftist response so absurd, because it doesn't reflect reality.
I mean, the leaks we get within the British military and the public stuff from the Secret Services is entirely woke.
It's like, well, okay, fine.
That's...
I've written some similar articles on what Canada learned, their armed forces.
Same thing.
Yeah.
It's really quite strange.
You see similar stuff in Australia, in New Zealand.
In which case, why would the Americans be immune from exactly the same thing?
Vice?
Why would they?
Why would they need a PSYOP to try and convince people that they're trying to undermine wokeness or something?
It's utter nonsense and they know it.
Anyway.
It is.
Let's move on.
So tell me about the BLM activist who's desperately trying to save Derek Chauvin from prison.
Yeah, so one of the jurors in the Chauvin trial, he's come out.
I think he's the first to come out and actually do interviews and things.
He's basically going to save Derek Chauvin's life.
LAUGHTER So this is the juror.
I think we covered a little bit of him previously, but he's sort of going out of his way to help Chauvin get the appeal done.
I think it was yesterday.
Derek Chauvin's lawyer, Eric Nelson, sent a transcript to the judge, whose name is Peter Cahill, requesting a retrial.
This was on the grounds of breaches in the interest of justice, abuse of discretion that deprive the defendant of a fair trial, prosecutorial and jury misconduct, and errors of law at trial.
So, this was over a range of things.
I'll start with some more details.
So, if we go to...
Sorry.
It's a cumulative evidence.
Throughout the entire trial, there was 48 witnesses over the entire three weeks.
I think of those three weeks, there was only three days that the actual defence brought witnesses to be questioned.
Yeah, it was almost entirely the prosecution defending their witnesses.
So...
The prosecution basically hammered down the youth force experts, which were from a variety of different skills.
You had Donald Williams II, who was just a bystander, but he said he was a Jiu-Jitsu expert.
So this is the MMA guy.
Yeah, the MMA guy, who basically was swearing at the officers the entire time.
He said that Derek Sherman was initiating a blood choke on George Floyd, which would constitute his...
Lethal use of force.
They then had police lieutenants, police sergeants, multiple trainees, trainers, sorry, all of which are leading questions to try and swing it in a certain way.
Admittedly, none of them were very helpful for their prosecution.
As soon as Eric Nelson stepped up the question, He was basically able to say, well, would this be justified in an actual situation?
Also, the number of them got them in trouble with the judge.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, he chastised a firefighter who was there and she was holding an abuser and basically every time Eric would question her, she would kick off.
So there was that.
There was also the issue of the venue change.
So...
I wrote an article about this.
So, prior to the trial, we had the news that George Floyd's family had been paid $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit.
So the city paid out the money to him, and this was obviously kind of biasing the jury.
Absolutely massive in the media.
The city already says that he's guilty.
Absolutely huge in the media.
Basically, Nelson argued that it came under suspicious timing.
It could be highly prejudicial against his client.
The judge, he conceded that it was unfortunate.
He said it was a pain that it was all over the media when we're in the midst of jury selection, basically.
And he called it a legitimate concern.
But then he basically granted a motion saying that he would question the jurors to make sure that they hadn't been tainted by anything they'd seen in the media.
And he effectively said he wished people would stop talking about it, about the case, because it was so massive.
Before the trial, you had George Floyd's family outside the courthouse calling for justice.
I think we've got a link of that.
And yeah, it's just there was a lot of media pressure to have him indicted with murder.
Then we had the issue of Maurice Hall, who was George Floyd's best friend, and also a drug dealer who was in the car with him on the day of his death.
Like, dealing him with drugs that he never took.
Yeah.
He pleaded the fifth, which, in fact, is his right not to self-incriminate, so he stepped away from being able to be trialled, from appearing in the trial, but...
They could have forced him to come in because he was an essential witness who could have provided essential information on George Floyd's sort of state before he was taken out of the car.
How acknowledged did you say that?
Effectively, yeah.
You then had, during the trial, Maxine Waters, the congressman, congresswoman even, who was telling their protesters to get more confrontational and stay on the streets to fight for justice.
The judge called this abhorrent.
Even...
Even though she, as a Congresswoman, should not be making comments.
It didn't end there either, like Bernie Sanders chimed in, Joe Biden chimed in.
Exactly.
So Joe Biden called George Floyd's family during the jury's decision.
So I think we've got a clip of that.
He was just calling.
He knows how it is to lose a family member, and he knows the process of what we're going through, so he was just letting us know that he was praying for us and hoping that everything will come out to be okay.
That's basically it.
So there was a bit of a cock-up there as well, which is that apparently he called first and thought the jury had already been sequestered, and they hadn't, so the news broke that he called them before they were even sequestered, and then called them afterwards after the guilty verdict.
Basically, the whole issue was sequestration for the trial.
It was one of the things that Eric Nelson was talking about.
He said...
That the trial should have been moved, really, because obviously the area was so...
Everyone was so opinionated about it in the area.
It's hard to get a fair trial with a jury who comes from that area around there.
And then you have things like Joe Biden getting involved, Congresswoman getting involved.
You have all the media pressure all calling for what they call justice.
And he said...
Basically, if we can't get it moved, we should at least sequester the jury for the entirety of the trial.
So they'd have absolutely no outside influence, which the judge declined to do.
So then we come to Brandon Mitchell, who is this juror, juror number 52.
So this is the guy who, I'm sort of just going to say, is the BLM activist who's trying to get Derek Chauvin off with his own actions, which...
So this would count as the jury misconduct.
I think this is what Eric Nelson's talking about.
So he's got all these previous complaints that the jury misconduct is based on this guy.
Although he doesn't expressly mention his name.
I mean, who else could be?
Exactly.
So in this clip here, we hear him speak to Erica Campbell on a show called Get Up on April 27th.
Let's start with this process of you becoming a juror, number 52.
How did you become a juror?
So, they kind of summons you, then they send you a questionnaire, and they give you an interview, and it's really just the lawyers decide based off the interview who's the least biased.
Why do you think they picked you to be a juror?
For me, it was like, I think because I was so mild-mannered, I didn't get too emotional while I was being interviewed.
I didn't answer any questions that were...
Then it got me riled up, so I kind of kept it even-tempered the entire time.
So it didn't seem like I was too biased either way.
Prior to the case, how much did you know about George Floyd and how he was killed?
I mean, I had seen like a little portion of the video, but I couldn't really watch the video like that just because it wasn't something that I wanted to see so much of, of black men being killed.
I was like, I can't watch it.
So I clicked on it on accident one time and turned it right off.
That was all I knew really.
So that's interesting.
It is.
Because this is obvious BS. Obvious BS, as we will probably show in a minute.
It is.
The fact that also, previously, he was asked this by the judge, I recall.
And to the judge, he said he knew nothing.
Yep.
And yet on the show, he's like, oh, I'd seen a bit, but not the whole thing.
Yeah, absolutely nothing about the case.
Never seen it in his life.
So his story changes.
Yep.
And there's a reason for that.
Exactly.
Because on...
I'm not sure what day it was.
On May 2nd, sorry, the Postmillennial posted a picture of Mr.
Mitchell.
If we go down a bit.
Just so you can see a show.
There's a full picture towards the bottom.
There he is.
So that was on August the 31st, 2020, at a protest in Washington, D.C. So if you see it...
I assume it was a protest about, I don't know, 9-11 veterans' rights or something?
Oh, yeah.
Totally unrelated.
And he wore this shirt that says, keep your knee off our next BLM with two red fists for no reason.
I don't know, it's just wash day.
Last shirt in the drawer.
He knew nothing.
He knew nothing.
But yeah, so, in reference to this protest, he said, the opportunity to go to DC, the opportunity to be around thousands and thousands of black people, I just thought it was a good opportunity to be part of something.
Part what?
Part of what?
Part of what?
You're part of the BLM movement.
That's what you are.
What's the BLM movement arguing about?
Oh, and he's also wearing the hat.
Yep.
What were they doing?
They were campaigning on George Floyd's.
George Floyd's death.
Which, you said you just hadn't seen anything.
And now, after the trial, you're saying, I saw a small bit of the video and nothing else.
Yeah.
Innocent governor.
And then, today, Andy Ngo released this.
So he was featured in a podcast called The Wholesome Podcast last year.
So I believe that's his podcast that he runs.
Is it his one, is it?
Yeah.
Right.
And he's wearing the same t-shirt.
So it seems to be that he's lied to the judge about his...
And as Andy Noe points out in this interview, he says that he does not recall wearing or owning the shirt after being asked about the shirt.
But it's like, yeah, but on your podcast you're wearing the bloody shirt.
On your Facebook page, you're wearing the bloody shirt.
You say that the reason you're wearing it is because you're going to a BLM protest.
But I've never worn it.
I don't own it.
Oh, boy.
He's blind.
So it seems that he's not unbiased and he must have had some sort of influence over the jury.
No, it seems like he definitely isn't unbiased.
I mean, he's lied to the judge in his statement that he didn't know much about the George Floyd case or knew nothing about it.
Didn't know nothing, mate.
So I just can't go over it.
Like, he's clearly a BLM activist.
And that's okay.
That's one thing.
You're allowed to do it.
Blah, blah, blah.
I think BLM's organization is full of ass.
But, you know, whatever.
And fine.
Okay.
But then you get called for jury duty, you lie to the judge, you get on the jury, and you think, you know, jury nullification, right?
Yeah.
So CGP Grey's made a video about this that's great.
Yeah.
People want to know about that.
But essentially, you get on a jury, and you know that the guy's guilty, but you're going to hold your ground and get him nullified.
And instead, no, he's even worse.
He's actively going to be an activist on there.
But then, you'd shut your mouth.
I mean, if you were on a jury as an activist, and you were trying to subvert justice...
Yeah.
Would you spend the few days afterwards gloating about it?
Exactly.
Or would you shut your mouth and be like...
He's now come out and he's...
I think he said in that interview we just listened to, he's basically encouraging people to...
Like testifying, not testifying, to sit on the jury.
He said about making a difference.
He's talked about how important it is to be a black man and sit on a jury like that.
Like, there was another clip we played in the previous episode from that exact podcast in which he said, you know, what's the reason you should get on a jury, sir?
And he's like, oh, so you can affect change and change society.
And it's like, that's not the reason for a jury.
So, it's a problem for the entire trial, really.
It's a huge problem for the prosecution.
It's a huge problem for the state.
Yeah.
But it's wonderful for Derek Chauvin and Nelson Deloitte.
Yeah, because Eric Nelson put in an appeal a few weeks ago.
So this just gives them extra ammunition, really.
As well as the congresswoman who came out and was on top of everything else, this is basically icing on the cake.
So Andrew Branker, who I've been following throughout Australia, he's a self-defense expert.
He's been in the business for about 30 years.
He's also close with people in the case.
He said in this article here, the defence moved for what's called a Schwartz hearing.
I'm not a law expert.
I'm not sure what that is.
This guy is, so we're taking his blood for it.
He's basically said the verdict could be impeached, i.e.
shown to be invalid, on the grounds of jury misconduct from this man here.
He said this hearing would involve direct question of the jurors, i.e.
Mr Mitchell, by the judge and the defence counsel.
The outcome of this could either be a retrial or even a mistrial, depending on how the judge and the defence talk about it.
But it also brings a whole bunch of other stuff into question, because of course they asked him, you know, this one lied.
Okay, we don't know about the rest of the jury, but this one lied, for sure.
But there were two instances.
I mean, as you said, when they started off, they asked them, do you know about the money they'd given to his family?
And they all said no.
Well, obviously he was one bloody liar, so...
How many of the rest of them were lying?
But also, there was the instance, as you said, when Maxine Waters came down.
I remember seeing it.
Nelson was like, oh, come on.
This is obviously going to take them.
And the judge said, look, I've asked them if they've watched the news and none of them said they know anything about it.
What's the thing?
There was all these sidebars as well during the...
Because I watched basically every single day of the trials.
A sidebar is like, someone says it and then they...
So effectively, if there's something that's been said that's really against the code of law, the defence attorney or prosecutor or whoever will call a sidebar to speak to the judge.
Apparently the judge didn't record any of the sidebars.
So they've got no record of what was spoken about in the sidebars.
Seems weird.
Yeah, which is another issue.
Just one of many, including this man here.
So it's not looking good.
But I can't get over the absurdity of the BLM activist here being the one that's giving the best evidence.
Because, of course, Nelson can make these claims on, you know, not sequestered, so on and so forth.
But if the jury were legit and they were just like, look, we know nothing about the case, we listed the evidence, we just thought overwhelmingly it showed Derek Chauvin was guilty, he'd kind of be without a limb.
He's like, well, I can't actually show that the jury were tainted.
Yeah, exactly.
But if the jurors are just going to come out and say, hey, we were tainted, I mean, particularly this one, not even like...
This is your CIA side-up, I think.
Yeah, I mean, not even like, I watch the news, but I'm a BLM activist, and I'm going to get him off.
It's like, okay.
It's not even small, it's huge.
You'd think they would learn their lesson with Maxine Waters, because she nearly, very nearly, had it.
Um...
Screwed up.
Yeah.
But, you know, it wasn't just her, as we said.
I mean, in response to the judge saying, shut up.
I mean, Bernie Sanders said something.
Yeah.
You know, the president said something.
The leader of the Democratic Party.
But, I mean, as I said, I've never really had an interest in this case in the sense of, I don't really care if Derek Shervin gets, you know, death penalty, if that's the law.
But the absurdities in the process are just so strange.
I know.
Like, there are a lot of weird things within the trial itself.
I mean, the media reporting was the most interesting thing.
The fact that they denied one side.
Yeah.
But a BLM activist being the one that's probably going to get him off.
God, there really is some mean magic to the whole thing.
The irony of it.
Anyway, I thought we'd go for the media reactions.
So with Daily Mail, pretty sort of standard, basically saying that the guys could jeopardise the entire trial, the entire verdict.
And then I went to CNN. Their coverage was quite weird.
They called it a phony pretext, the fact that he was wearing this t-shirt.
Upsetting the verdict.
Yeah.
Further on down, if you go a bit further, the author of this article...
A bit further, sorry.
Back up.
About there, yeah.
Give me a break.
A black man wearing an MLK t-shirt should not be regarded as some kind of professional revolutionary.
No one said that.
You're the one who said that.
I mean, I didn't even point out the MLK part, because who cares?
That's not the bit that's absurd.
The fact that he's saying, get your knee off our necks.
I mean, what is that a reference to?
That's not a reference to Selma, Alabama or something.
No, it's not.
What are you talking about?
I don't think Martin Luther King said that on the steps of the Arkansas school.
One of the hallmarks of our nation's Jim Crow system of racial segregation and white supremacy has been the historic exclusion of blacks from serving on integrated juries.
I'm not sure what they're talking about in this article.
What's this going to do with Derek Chauvin?
Exactly.
What's this got to do with the juror?
That's obviously a BLM activist.
Yeah.
You can see it's just obvious cope.
It's just grasping at straws.
It is.
Anyway, the BBC, they basically decided that Derek Schroeder is a killer now, even though he hasn't been sentenced yet.
The ever-neutral BBC. Oh, yeah.
I mean, they're not...
This is the irritating part, because they're not entirely wrong in that framing, and I've got to be fair to them, which is, the guy's been convicted, therefore it's justified to say he is the killer.
Yeah.
But, I mean, the fact that it is so highly contested, you would have thought they'd be a bit more...
And on the precedent that there could be another trial.
There's an ongoing appeal.
It's probably not a good idea to call him a killer.
The reasons he's asking for the retrial they probably list, which includes the fact that the jury have been, well, at least one of the jurors has been shown to be completely tainted.
Yeah.
I mean, it just seems wrong to frame it like that.
Yeah.
But anyway, we'll see.
We'll see how it goes from now.
See if he gets it or not, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it'd be really weird if they don't give him the appeal.
I mean, just for the sense of to see justice served.
It's the fact that it could be potentially be a mistrial, I think.
Can you imagine?
Did the law expert explain how likely that was, or?
No, he didn't.
But I reckon Eric will probably go for it because he did call for a mischarger in the closing arguments because the prosecution said some quite leading things.
So we'll see.
Alright.
Okay, so the last thing I wanted to talk about was the 31st Anglo-French War.
Looking this up, I thought I was going to call it the 8th Anglo-French War.
I didn't realise how based we were.
So apparently we've been at war with France 30 times in our history.
Good God.
Good God, that's cool.
So then there's this one, the one that's being declared currently, is the 31st by the looks of it.
Wow.
Yeah, so the first thing I wanted to mention was how this came about.
So what's happening is that the French have threatened to carve electricity to Jersey, as Josh reports on LotusEaters.com.
It's that they have some disputes about fishing licenses or something, because the Norman authority for this, you know, Normandy, has fishing licenses to fish in Jersey's waters, and they're having a dispute because, you know, Brexit, and therefore things change.
And the French are salty that things have changed.
So they say in here, So,
as Josh points out...
They're quite far away from the UK. Yeah, so as Josh points out, it's 95% of all Jersey's electricity comes from France, from undersea cables.
So the External Relations Minister for Jersey issued a statement in response to this saying, it would seem disproportionate to cut off electricity for the sake of needing to provide extra details so we can refine the licenses.
I mean, he's not wrong.
No.
Like, hey, we think your licensing system's a bit wrong.
Okay, well, let's have a conversation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, how dare you?
We'll kind of cut off the electricity.
Screw you.
Let your children freeze to death.
It's like...
Okay.
Okay, France, being totally normal.
So, there's another quote here.
So, Jersey's is a self-governing crown dependency.
The UK Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs issued a statement which said, we are clear that Jersey is responsible for its own territorial waters.
So, the idea being that it's their territorial waters.
If they want to set the limits for when you can fish, it's up to them.
And what are you going to do?
Argue with that?
That's...
Completely coherent, totally legal, totally makes sense.
So what was the French response?
The French, what was it, the guy from Normandy issued a response saying that this is absolutely unacceptable, where the ships can go and where they can't go.
If we accept this for Jersey, we would be in peril, sorry, we would imperil our access everywhere.
Yeah?
Everywhere.
But, like, they're asking you, hey, play by our rules in our waters, and you're like, no, we can't accept this.
This would screw us over everywhere else.
I'm like, well, what are you doing everywhere else?
Like, sure, you should be playing by the rules.
I don't know what kind of response that is to the statement that you should just respect whatever Jersey wants in their waters.
So...
In response, a bunch of salty French fishermen decided they would stage a protest, as they called it, outside the port at Jersey.
This quickly got pointed out that it kind of looked like a blockade, because they were saying they were going to stop people coming in and out of the port.
So if you get the Reuters up...
So the Reuters article, they go down and they ask the salty French fishermen why they're so salty and what they're doing.
And he's like, well...
Why are you doing this blockade?
And the Frenchman responds with, this is not a blockade.
It's not our objective to smash stuff up.
Are these the guys with the red smoke?
Yeah, why are you forming a huge crowd around the port then?
I mean, it kind of looks like a blockade.
I don't know what else you'd call that.
We're just saying that you're going to stop people going out because you're salty about the fact that things change, and therefore your licenses have changed, and you have no right to these waters.
They're not yours.
They're Jersey's waters.
So this is French fishermen doing this?
Yeah, French fishermen.
It's not the French government.
It's individuals who decide to do this.
So, as the British, I mean, when the French start saying they're going to blockade ports, the British government have done the right thing and decided to send a few gunboats down there to just keep an eye on things.
So, Downing Street has said that these naval vessels are going there to monitor the situation.
The operation is also known as keep an eye on the Frenchies.
So, these are two gunboats that are going to go down there and just stare at them, and if they do anything wrong, I assume, blow them to smithereens as they should.
So the response from this is interesting because you see a bunch of EU files in the UK freaking out and they're like, how can you do this?
How can you dare defend Britain?
So there's one guy I just found who summed it up perfectly.
So if you can get the Adam Toner Radkin status tweet up.
So he's a guy complaining about the fact that we're using gunboat diplomacy.
Should be the next one, John.
No, I think you're missing a link.
You've got to go to the gunboat diplomacy section.
So this is some EU-euro file complaining about the whole thing.
So...
Just so I can read it, because I didn't write the whole thing down.
So...
Oh, is that the wrong tweet?
Oh, I put the wrong tweet in there.
That's my bad.
Okay, anyway, it's some Europhile complaining that we've gone back to gunboat diplomacy and why are we back at the Empire?
And it's like, and?
Like, that's a bad thing.
No.
Like, French turn up, blockade your port, so you go down there, send the gunboats.
Yeah.
What are you meant to do?
Send the Royal Marines armed with longbows to the beaches as well, I'd say.
Yeah.
So one of the funny responses is apparently the British have responded by being totally mature and totally standard, which is to say that Macron has small dick energy.
If you get the next thing up, this is politics for all reporting that a government official has said that French President Emmanuel Macron has small dick energy.
For being so angry about this.
And the reason for saying that was that the French have decided to send warships of their own to go and monitor their fishermen.
I love how it's sort of undermining their own protests.
Like, you guys can't be trusted.
So if you get the next link up, this is the French saying that they're going to send two boats.
So they've sent two boats out there to also keep an eye on the situation.
But who are they keeping an eye on?
The island of Jersey?
No, they're keeping an eye on the French fishermen, so they're also participating in Operation Keep an Eye on the French.
So, good for the French for joining the British.
I think they're scared of our own people at the moment anyway, aren't they?
Yeah, but also the idea that all the British are totally in the wrong for sending warships to keep an eye on them is like...
Yeah, but the French are also doing it.
So what's the problem?
No one seems at fault here.
Just gotta keep an eye on these fishy fishermen.
So...
The responses from the fishy fishermen, or at least their port authority in Normandy, has been perfectly normal as well.
So we go to the next one, Disclosed TV. Quote from him.
We are ready for war.
We can bring Jersey to its knees.
Like, the guy in charge of Normandy is like, yeah, war time!
War!
Like, I want to declare war on England.
I imagine Macron sitting there like, I've got Islam I left this to deal with, and you're bringing this stuff up.
I want to declare war on some islands because some fishermen are mad about the fact that they can't steal fish.
Oh, God.
So, in response, of course, the hashtag that was trending was war with France, which, yeah, why not, I guess?
I couldn't come at a better time.
I mean, we're having a local election today, so a bit of nationalist sentiment.
Why not?
Why not?
Of course, if it harms the Labour Party, it's good in my mind, so let's go with that.
And it seems some of the guys on the island agree.
Yeah, why not?
Let's have a laugh.
So this is some re-enactor on the island who decides to dress up as a militiaman and fire off a musket at the French.
Good man.
I just love the idea that he's just some, like, 60-year-old or something, and he's just like, yeah, such a fucking Frenchie.
Death to Napoleon.
I got that musket.
It's quite interesting that France seems to be on the brink of revolution and they're trying to take potshots at us.
Yeah, I mean, it seems like it's more just a local thing.
The locals are pissed off, but the fact that they're...
This thing is quite poetic.
The guy in charge of Normandy is backing them up with, we'll declare war on England.
Will you?
Will you now?
But the only other thing I've seen that which was kind of interesting was, if you can go to the next link, which is that the government have...
I had a couple of leaks out of this.
So if you don't know, when the Germans took France over, they also took the islands.
And it's a weird parallel world you can look back into if the Germans conquered England.
They built a lot of fortifications there.
Yeah, but it's an example of if the Germans conquered England, what would it look like?
What would Nazi Britain look like?
In which the police turn into agents of the state.
I think they stole some Jews from there and killed them as well.
I think they had quite a lot of Jewish slaves on Jersey.
Did they?
Yeah.
Anyway, so the government source here who was talking about the whole thing is quoted as saying, at least when the Germans invaded, they kept the lights on.
Because, of course, the French are trying to get rid of the electricity.
And I just think the whole thing's really funny.
I don't think this is going to go anywhere.
They'll have their stupid protests.
They'll be salty about it, as they always are.
And then they'll be told, no, this is the law.
Shut off.
We're not the French government.
We're not going to buckle to you.
And then they'll go home, they'll renegotiate licenses, and the warships will go home.
I don't think this is going to turn into a full-scale war.
No, no.
God, it's weird that they want it to.
Like, the Normans saying, we're ready to declare war on Jersey.
We're going to take it.
Like, we're going to storm the beaches, lads, or something.
It would be interesting to see it, winning the naval war.
I've seen, um, there's a guy called Binkov.
Yeah, I know you.
He did a few examples of Britain versus France.
If there's no nukes, no one wins.
If there's nukes, everyone loses.
That's how that works.
I think we're pretty much equally matched.
Yeah, but because we're more densely populated, if a bunch of nukes go off here, it's worse for us.
At least in the Frenchies, but...
Yeah, yeah.
Probably survive nuclear radiation, damn frogs.
So, one of the things...
We did an episode with Baudet in which we did a bit of a white pill, and, you know, I felt like we might as well end this on a bit of a white pill.
I mean, if War with France isn't a white pill enough, I don't know what's wrong with you, but in case you want to, let's go to the jet suits.
So, this is something I found people posting in response, like, let's just get the jet suits and go down there.
I didn't know this was real.
Like, this is a thing that was invented a few years ago.
I've seen these things.
If we can play clip three, just to demonstrate what these are.
How cool is that?
Like, for people who are listening, it's like he's taking off from these boats behind a Royal Navy warship.
And he just, like, floats off.
It's like an Iron Man suit.
Yeah, like an old Iron Man suit.
Yeah, it's not actually a rule.
Do you know how I'm actually training these guys?
Let's do this.
What do you mean?
Then...
Yeah, I mean, this was posted on the Twitter page, the Royal Navy's.
So the idea is, essentially, this is like pirate battles.
Ah, so...
How cool is that?
There's a similar video.
I don't know if you've seen it.
It's another Royal Navy guy.
And I think they're somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.
And he goes up alongside this American diplomatic ship.
They've got this big party going on.
There's just a British guy zooming around this boat with all these American senators and things on.
It's quite funny.
What, in a gravity suit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I didn't know anything about these, so I started to look up the company and whatnot.
I assumed some American company made these, and then we bought a few or something.
It turns out apparently not.
So the founder of the company is a British ex-Royal Marine reservist, so he used to be in the Royal Marines as a reservist, and then was like, hey, this would be interesting.
So, he decided to invent these jet suits, and then he's selling them to the British military.
Apparently you can buy them on the website, at least you can apply to buy one, because it's like a luxury product.
So, you know, like Porsche or something, you apply and then maybe you get it, because they're difficult.
But also, he's based his company in Salisbury.
Salisbury?
Yeah, it's just cute.
I like it.
This little historic city.
Not so far from us.
For people who may be foreign, you most likely know it for the poisoning.
The Russian tourists.
We are here to see the Salisbury Spire.
Exactly, 150 meter tall.
We are here to see this.
You clearly just poison these guys, but whatever.
So, that's that.
And I just think it's really nice.
Like, hey, we don't do enough white pills, so I mean, why not?
Yeah, yeah.
So, that's awesome.
It'd be interesting to see if they're using combat.
Yeah.
So, I see John's just loaded up a story here.
So, apparently, the situation, because it's developing as we do this podcast.
So, a French trawler has decided to ram a UK boat and then chased off as a standoff on the channel.
It gets worse.
Chased-off isn't particularly...
I don't know.
Does it say that it tried to ram the British warship, or did it just try to ram some British fisherman ship?
It's a fishing ship.
Okay.
So the French salty fishermen have decided to start ramming British fishermen who tried to leave.
So, I mean, that's a blockade.
What else do you call that?
Are they just trying to stop people from leaving?
In which case, Royal Navy, do your duty, load shells, get rid of them!
Warning shots over the bow.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
But I do wonder, I see some people have been saying, like, how's this going to affect the local elections?
Because it's, you know, obviously nationalistic and whatnot.
I mean, I don't know if it'll have much impact, but, I mean, it couldn't come at a better timing, anyway.
Anyway, so that's all from us.
So, let's go to the video comments so we can see them.
A server's guaranteed citizenship when servers become as diluted as citizens and shippers.
If service guarantees citizenship, wouldn't service become as diluted as citizenship has?
Not really, because we have no real-world examples of this that I'm aware of for people actually trying, highlighting democracy.
But in the book, for example, when Rico goes for his admission, he's talking to the people who do the whole thing.
He's like, hey, why doesn't everyone just sign up?
And he's like, well, no, because it's extremely hard.
Like, we make it really hard on purpose.
And if you come in here, for example, as someone who clearly can't be in the mobile infantry, I mean, I saw people pointing out those jet suits, that's the real version of the mobile infantry.
It's meant to be these power armor suits that you can just jump off.
If you're not able to do that, if you're not physically capable, we'll come up with any old job that'll be the most disgusting, most grueling thing you've ever done.
And therefore, if you earn your citizenship, sure, because everyone has the right to try, but you will remember that you earned it.
And we will do everything in our power to make sure you don't want to be there and you want to quit, so that when you get it, you really, really earned it.
So if it was service-guaranteed citizenship in the Highline-ian sense, and it was the same parameters of the book, it wouldn't become diluted because it was just made extremely hard to get to keep it a franchise worth having.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
Dr. Fauci.
Give us vaccines.
Help all the people who have been quarantined.
We'll wear our masks and we'll have to stay distant.
We'll wash our hands and we'll be more resistant.
Callum, I know you usually enjoy these.
I'm sorry, man.
No, that one's been stuck in my head for days.
Like, I'm sort of in my mind, like, you know what, let's just chant that at the pub or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it's so bad.
It's one of those things that is so bad, it's almost good.
Yeah.
Like, as a way of making fun of all the vaccine Nazis, she starts chanting that song.
Like, this is how you look.
Anyway, so let's go to the next one.
Hi, guys.
Do you know what?
I sometimes feel as if, you know...
My world view is kind of warped by what I watch, right?
So I sometimes kind of think, oh, I'm in my bubble.
Maybe it's not as bad as I think.
And then a story comes out about the CIA putting out that advert they put out the other day, or MI5 literally hiring on the basis of race.
And then I'm like, oh, actually, I'm not the insane one.
So There you go.
As well, thanks for keeping everybody sane throughout the winter lockdown here.
That was quite horrible, but So your weekday show really helped.
So thanks very much.
Thanks for the compliment, man.
You are right, we do really live in the clown hell world.
It's not fake.
I think there's a growing number of people that feel the same way.
Nothing's adding up anymore.
I'm more optimistic than some, I think.
One of the things I don't get is, like, take the MI5 semi-diversity internship, or as he says that, CIA effort.
Like, they're so absurd on the face of it.
Like, I could show that to any, you know, boomer I could think of who pays no attention to politics, and they would just stare at it and be like, what?
Like, why would they do that?
In which case, I don't understand how the people in these institutions don't lose their minds, or are at least able to see how disgusting and awful this stuff is.
It's a strange phenomenon.
I think it's just the metropolitan culture.
I think they must be so saturated and all of that.
There's no one who dissents.
Plus, I think it's fair as well.
I did get sent...
There's a friend of ours who I have on Discord who works in the civil service, so I won't mention his name.
He messaged me about something the other day.
He made the point that literally everyone in the civil service, for example, and by extension everyone in government management, will be playing the woke game to some extent.
Because it just is the ideology of the state at this point.
It's the politically correct view.
And therefore, it's...
It's horrible, but you are playing that game where you've got to try and get to the top, because that's what you're doing, right?
You're trying to get the promotion to go up, in which case you've got to fight to get there, and if you just out yourself immediately as not a wokest, it might harm your...
Well, I suppose when you get to the top, you can actually start making a difference, but if you're just a lowly grunt, then...
Yeah.
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine who works at, I'm not going to mention where, actually.
He works at a car company, let's say that.
And here's the same problem where he's just like, he's sitting in the room and everyone is spouting off some nonsense.
And he's just like, am I going mad?
I'm like, what is going on?
And we said to him, why don't you say something?
And he's like, look, mate, I control nothing.
So even if I was to make a big fuss, I don't get any promotion and therefore there's nothing to be gained from it.
In fact, I might lose my job.
And then where am I? I'm like, eh, okay.
I can see that point of view at least.
That's true.
Let's go to the next video.
Check this out.
I asked the legislature in this legislative session, we need to do bonuses for law enforcement.
Some want to defund...
Some want to defund the police.
We're funding the police and then some.
Biggest Florida governor.
Real like where this is going.
You know, brighter things ahead.
Based man is the most based man.
Like, I love that, because we were chatting about this, me and Carl, I think...
I don't know if it was on the show or after the show, but you know the whole Florida Man meme?
Like, Florida Man, you know, is found with 50 stacks of meth or something.
Like, he's...
But the joke is, partly, like, the Florida Man is a single man, and he's done all of these things, and therefore...
He's like the Bigfoot.
Yeah, but I sort of like the redemption arc.
Like, Florida Man has been seen, you know, running naked with alligators.
He's been dealing meth.
He punched, you know, like 50 people to death or something.
And now he's the most based man running for president.
Yeah.
Like, I love if Ron DeSantis does run and just every headline is like, Florida Man.
President Florida Man.
Yeah.
Anyway.
That is good as well.
In spite of the fact that Polkia Alexandrovna This is from Crime and Punishment from Dostoevsky,
a condemnation of nihilism.
And it's very much true.
If you wish to remain beautiful, then don't be nihilistic.
Not that I disagree with that.
I don't know what, but the same response.
Based on Skirsky, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go to the next one.
Hi guys, I've just been on the BBC, and aside from finding out that black people making their own choices is racist, I also found this article about the troubles in Sweden.
Now they've got this graph that shows the sexual assaults against women with this dramatic rise since 2014 and then trailing off at 2017.
If we compare that to Sweden's immigration statistics, we'll also see that that has been rising since 2014 and trailing off since 2017.
Could these two things be related?
Well, the Swedish Gender and Equalities Minister says no.
But wait, there's more.
When Nigel Farage says that Sweden had become the rape capital of Europe due to migrants, the BBC did a fact-check article where they said that the sexual offence figures peaked in 2014 and actually went down in 2015 when they took in more migrants and asylum seekers.
But, but BBC, these are...
It's not true!
They sent us that video.
I want to upload that to social media.
I love some of the stuff we get sent in these video comments.
It's so good.
Like that one as well.
I just want to show people.
I'm like, come on, look at the numbers.
Look at the...
Better arguing than I can.
BBC's unbelievable.
I can't get over how obvious it is with Sweden as well.
Everyone who goes to Sweden seems to come back with the same story, which is, yeah, there's a lot of bad stuff there.
And the bad stuff...
Even Swedish, well, some Swedish people don't know about it.
They say, yeah, it's just part and parcel.
I haven't been to Sweden.
I really want to.
I've never got around to it.
What I get told is it's a similar thing with, say, France.
You've got the people who live in central Paris and they think everything's lovely and blah, blah, blah.
And then you've got the suburbs and the suburbs is where they send all the migrants they bought so they can be virtuous.
It's like, yeah, why don't you go live there then?
There was one thing, I don't know who did this, so I'm not endorsing the group that did it, but they brought like a truck, put loads of speakers on it, and then went to like this really rich neighbourhood in Stockholm, and just started blasting the call to prayer at 6am.
Wake up, it's time for diversity!
Wow.
You had these neighbours be like, what are you doing?
It's like, well you voted for it.
Oh boy.
Anyway, let's go to the comments section.
On the CIA spooks, Chad Kuala says, I'll believe the feds and the woke aren't on the same side when the feds crack down on people burning down cities.
Yep.
That does give a new dimension to it, actually.
You remember seeing some of these random people with hoodies walking around lighting the fires inside and people saying they were feds?
I do wonder.
Well, I heard rumours that even the wildfires in California were either Antifa or feds, and they were doing it to sort of try and start some sort of war or something.
I have no idea about that, but none of this is fact, by the way.
No, no.
YouTube.
Just thinking aloud, how dare I? So Brad P says, if the RAF wants total inclusivity, such a juche term, what's their argument for keeping out ISIS? Why no Russian F-35 type pilots?
Why no Chinese spies in the AWACS? Don't be racist, let them in.
Probably Chinese spies already there.
That's one thing.
They have got total inclusivity, they just don't know it yet.
Peter, long name.
Imagine having the balls to dislike a CIA YouTube video.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Everyone's getting on a watch list.
Nobody's flying anymore.
Everyone's on the no-fly list.
Radical centrist god.
Just look at the first bits of the source for each talking point, and oh my god, our lads are becoming storm boys.
We're gonna crump everything from the skies.
Now we just need to paint it red and it'll go faster.
Daka daka daka daka daka.
Okay.
I assume you're talking about the RAF there?
I mean, what happens if you walk in?
Because they were like, here's a bunch of made-up pronouns, obviously.
Like, why can't you just walk in and just be like, yeah, my pronouns are Ork and Ork.
You know, His Majesty and whatnot.
What are they going to do?
Flight Lieutenant Ork.
It is their job to accept total inclusivity.
The green skins need their position.
Anyway.
Yeah, I don't know.
It doesn't seem like him, to be honest.
It seems like it's the local people causing a mess.
mess i mean it might be some uh backroom dealings uh every time argentina kick off about the falklands or spain about gibraltar it's because they're flat broke and everything has gone wrong at home that's certainly true I mean We'll get back to the Falklands.
You've done this.
No one cares.
It's obviously just because you're broke.
Dylan Tucker.
Here at the CIA, we pride ourselves on talking...
Sorry.
Here at the CIA, we pride ourselves on taking people hailing from all over the world, training them and using them to destabilize their home countries in a diverse and inclusive way.
Yeah, I do wonder.
You remember those $10 million that were spent on Pakistani gender programs?
Yeah.
What if that's CIA money?
What if it's 4D chest and they're actually recruiting Wokas to send them to Pakistan?
And then when the whole civilization is effed over there, they'll stop bombing everyone else.
It's interesting, isn't it?
I mean, I'd fund it.
I mean, that would actually be a justification for the $10 million.
I mean, go for it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, it just bothers me that they keep saying, at CIA, we.
It's grammatically incorrect.
It's the CIA, not just CIA. That's...
I don't know if it's true or not that you're meant to say it one way or another.
In every video I saw, they kept saying, at CIA. But it's at Central Intelligence Agency, which does sound weird.
Yeah.
Surely you'd say, at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Yeah.
Matthew Hammond.
Maybe we need to defund the national security apparatus in the US, and maybe Britain too, to be honest, if they have enough resources to push woke ideology amongst their ranks.
Sure.
I mean, there's the thing.
You don't have to defund the whole organisation.
No.
But you can take the HR or whatever the hell you want.
Yeah, just take that.
You're fine.
Take anyone with a sociology degree out of that.
Yeah, but just don't hire for them.
Because they get tons of money just in their salaries.
Never mind the time they waste.
So, Amy Plea Fireboy.
I think we should all get ourselves to pull harbour after the stream, commandeer a few boats, and go out all A-team at them, and hunt down the froggies.
Rule the waves again.
I mean, not a bad idea.
Be like Dunkirk.
Yeah, like Dunkirk style.
We're going to liberate Jersey or whatever.
For the French menace.
And what are the government going to do?
Are the French warships going to start blowing us up if we try and sail over to Jersey?
It's got air rifles and...
Anyone who's listening who's in a boat in Southampton or Portsmouth or whatever and's got a free day, go for it.
Henry Ashman.
I wonder if Biden's administration is encouraging the military to be so woke that they can spend a fortune on widening the tank hatches, strengthening submarine bulkheads and getting more powerful aircraft guns...
Sorry, more powerful aircraft engines fitted to accommodate the fatties.
Yeah.
The contracts on the tubby tanks and the pedo plants and the slacker subs will probably net the big guy a nice 10% cut.
It is true.
I see, like, the US military standards for, like, fitness seem terrible.
And then you see some of those soldiers sometimes, and you're just like...
Well, Biden got rid of the, um...
There was definitions you had to have.
Basically, Trump got rid of the male-female divide, didn't he?
He's just like, this is standard.
Don't care if you're a man or a woman.
Biden's now, like, scaled that back again.
But also just American standards in general.
I mean, of course, I'm no bulking guy or anything, but...
I look at some pictures of American guys in uniform and some of them are quite large.
Yeah.
A lot less difficult, sorry.
I could certainly get 10.
I'd love to get the tubby tanks.
At least it's not as bad as the pregnant women tanks in Germany.
You know about that?
So we went over to the AFD and they were telling us that their minister had spent a lot of money and complained that the German military tanks weren't wide enough and not comfortable enough for a pregnant woman.
Why would you put pregnant women in a tank and send them to war?
You moron.
Crazy.
so Chet Christholm hey Callum you mentioned in the previous episode that you weren't totally convinced of Chauvin's non-innocence in the Floyd death is there anything in particular presented in the trial that makes you feel this way I've worked the last 10 years as a paramedic so I may be able to help shed some further light on some of the evidence that was presented at the trial I upgraded to gold so I will start going through it next week give a few quick lessons on cardiology and most importantly to point out where Dr. Toad Tobin lied in his testimony.
Hopefully this will help you...
Lied?
Yeah, apparently you lied.
Hopefully this will help you prep as we get ready to do this whole trial all over again.
Oh god, yeah.
If they do get an appeal, we're going to have to cover the whole goddamn thing again.
It might be interesting to see that.
Also, did you see...
I assume it's Games Workshop previewed new models for the Tanith Thirst and Only Este.
I don't know what Tanith Thirst faction is.
I don't know which race that is.
To be honest, I don't pay too much attention to Games Workshop.
What convinced me that he wasn't entirely innocent?
So, the homicide charges seemed complete bunk.
There was no question of that.
Homicide is defined differently in law.
Yeah, it was unintentional homicide as well.
It doesn't have to be an actual murder to be a homicide.
But the arguments there for the standard seemed way too high.
Manslaughter?
Because it was the case of, like, I thought, looking at it...
There's an argument to be made.
I mean, if I was on the jury, I probably would have said there's reasonable doubt about the whole thing because of the drug and the fact that he took so much fentanyl.
Yeah.
Kind of worsens the whole thing.
I probably would have voted not guilty just on, look, I'd rather let him go free than put an innocent man in jail.
Yeah, exactly.
But, on the manslaughter charge, I can see a reasonable argument, and I can see that people can see that as being true.
I'd agree.
I'd say even third degree, potentially, could have been justified.
I don't think second degree.
The main thing for me, as he asked, was actually Dr Tobin's testimony, so if he has been lying a bunch, please send us some video comments and tell us where he lied.
Because, again, we're not experts.
The main point of contention in the whole case was between Tobin and the other...
I can't remember what his name was, the other physician.
But basically, it wasn't...
They both agreed that he had a cardiac arrest, but it was the mechanism they disagreed on.
Yeah.
So Tobin was saying it was showing his knee.
The other guy was saying it was...
It's a combination of his health, it's the drugs, blah, blah, blah.
All of these make things worse.
I mean, that's a good argument.
Yeah, yeah.
It's enough to put reasonable doubt in your head, surely.
Mm-hmm.
Apparently not.
Apparently a threat from BLM gets rid of those dirty thoughts.
Anyway, Henry Ashman.
That juror has just torched the entirety of Minnesota with his activism.
BLM are going to kick the F off when the appeal gets upheld.
There's him, the senator and Biden, who are actively getting involved.
Then there's the woman juror who had to drive home through the Dante White protest.
That's something, yeah.
How could they not know what was going on if they're driving through the mob?
Totally true.
I mean, it's another point I imagine Nelson has brought up, which is one of the jurors lived in where the Dante White protests were taking place.
Burning things as a protest.
But...
Yeah.
I'd love to interview him afterwards and be like, hey, so now all this stuff is burnt down, how do you feel?
Now that he's been there free, how do you feel?
I was doing my bit.
Maybe he wants the riots, I guess.
Good for his podcast.
So on Macron's small member energy, Craig Gorman, just to say that the French can bring it anytime they want, I personally have been preparing since they tried to teach me French in high school.
This comment was sponsored by Mr.
Kipling.
Yeah.
Should we start doing bread sponsorships once the goal's gone?
But I did see there were a couple of comments underneath the article Josh wrote about the electricity situation.
And there were some people who said they were from the island.
They were just like, bring it.
Bring it.
Shoot it down.
Maybe one of them is the guy with the musket.
If you're watching Guy with the Musket, good job.
That was great.
Harry Geeman.
Here we go, boys.
Get ready to fight for the glory of the British Empire.
Hoorah!
Hoorah!
James Lee.
How many times do we need to sink a French fleet before they get the message?
Once more, my dear friends.
Sugar Supremacist.
Oh man, just when we started to like the base French, they had to start a war with us.
Any chance the new generals can take our side?
God, I hope so.
They weren't.
Of course they weren't.
We can agree on Islamo-leftism.
I see what Carl meant by the anti-baguette propaganda now.
Yeah.
Tyler Williamson.
You see baguettes are the food of the enemy now.
The keto prophecy is unfolding.
I didn't touch the baguettes.
Josh got the baguette.
I got a nice English loaf.
Josh is just like, I'm regretting getting up again now.
Joseph Woodland.
And to think, France haven't got their new aircraft carriers or planes yet.
Their rifle is better than CQC than ours, though.
To put this into perspective, if this heats up, as horrible as it would be, we would likely see the solution to the problem such as cold fusion harnessing lattice.
What?
Problems such as a cold fusion harnessing lattice, the faster integration of the FIST future soldier program, and the medical gains we are on the cusp of.
Gotta look on the bright side as though it may seem dark.
I mean, yeah, that's not a bad point.
I mean, if we do have a war, there's always technological development.
Yeah.
And we're not having one right now, so...
Make it go faster.
More war, more faster!
Paint the scientists red.
If the frog fishermen want to keep waving their baguettes and blockade one of our islands, then of course the reasonable response is to start patrolling our waters and maybe go back to the good old days of having our monarchy invade France for the tradition's sake.
Yeah, we'd like to see the...
What's his name?
I'm forgetting the guy now.
Prince William?
The one who's not a traitor?
Yeah.
Give him a sword.
Come on, dress him up.
Send him over.
Mad Jack, didn't they, in the war?
Yeah.
It's a Scottish man.
One of the funny things as well is I learned that one of the traditions...
Well, it wasn't much of a tradition, but I think it was Henry VIII decided he wanted to celebrate peace between England and France.
And the way he celebrated it was he challenged the French king to a boxing match.
And then they went over and had this boxing match.
But I just love the idea that you could do that, like let's challenge Macron, like Boris versus Macron.
Who would win?
Yeah.
Who do you think would win?
Boris.
Macron's probably not good at boxing.
Gordon of Carter.
Musket Man isn't the hero we need, but he's the hero we want.
He's the hero we deserve.
Alistair Crowley.
Britain.
Muffish.
Sends out the warships.
Illegals coming through the...
I don't think I can say that part.
Illegals coming through to Britain.
Britain.
Nothing to see here, all else.
Yeah, that's true.
I don't know why we don't send out the warships to the small fishing vessels trying to blockade Dover.
Someone here calling it Operation Frogwatch.
Maybe we should make a video like a jingle.
Operation Frogwatch.
The frog's up to you now.
General questions.
I've got to take a drink.
Any birthday wishes for Tony Blair?
Thanks and enjoy all the bread.
I hope you die.
That's my one.
I don't know.
I really hope he just sets up a new party that's just like death to everything I've done.
He just goes around campaigning about the Supreme Court was terrible, mass immigration is terrible, millions of Muslims are incompatible with the West, Tony Blair's words, not mine, YouTube.
And just goes around and keeps saying this.
Because he's doing a good job on that front, at least, but God, it's embarrassing that it's now, not 1997.
Yeah.
Alex Ogle.
As we learned from the Second World War, there were three socialisms fought each other.
Fascism is socialism of the state, communism is socialism of the classes, and Nazism is socialism of the race.
What would be the one for socialism of the gender?
We could wait for someone on the woke side to coin the term, but the real term of today's socialism is intersectionalism, the socialism of feelings about immutable characteristics.
By the way, it doesn't matter how you pronounce my name, just say what you say with confidence so it doesn't sound like you second-guess yourself.
I'm not going to get offended.
Okay, Eli Krugel.
So, calling it intersectionalism, and we've had this debate in the office, which is, do you call them wokists, intersectionalists, neo-Marxists, which I'm a fan of, Hugo came up with that one, which is...
I do like intersexualism, just call them that.
But either way, we all know what we're talking about.
It's the race and gender communists who do this sort of thing.
I suppose you could say, actually, yeah, the Nazis are the race communists.
Yeah, that's true.
We were having a big debate about this yesterday.
Some people think the Nazis were right-wing, some don't.
Some think they were socialists, some don't.
Obviously socialists.
Josh took the opposing view that the Soviet Union was right-wing.
Brittany Johns.
So this is 100% off topic, but I'm going to say it anyway.
So I know the different countries view us Americans with certain stereotypes, especially when it comes to women.
I've always wanted to know what some of those may be.
So stereotypes of American women.
Because I promise you we're not all like that.
Those next questions are specifically for Callum.
They are, are you single?
The questions, they are.
Are you single and would you ever go on a date with an American girl like myself?
I am much more intelligent than my counterparts, I swear.
If you're intelligent, sure.
It's the dumb Americans that everyone wants to gouge their eyes out at.
Is Europe a country?
Get the gulag.
Just can't be dealing with that.
Antifa just means anti-fascist.
Getting the gulag.
What about you?
What do you think?
Stereotypical American women.
Yeah, squeaking.
Squeaking.
Whiny.
Is that not just women?
What we call Karen here.
I thought it was women.
I don't know.
It's the accent, really.
I don't know.
There's something weird about the Yankee accent.
It's a nasally part, I think.
Like AOC. You'd think the British would sound more nasally than the Americans.
Maybe we do to them.
Let us know, I suppose.
But...
Yeah, I mean, intelligent people, really.
I don't want to deal with...
When I say intelligent, I just mean not dumb.
That's really it.
Vacuous.
Yeah.
Jonathan Crowe.
The BBC keeps scaremongering and peddling how bad the pandemic in India is still.
So let's look at this realistically and relatively.
India's population is 1.366 billion.
COVID-19 cases are currently at 21.1 million.
Deaths at 230,000.
Therefore, at this scale, the pandemic in India, cases are equivalent to 1.545% of the population.
Deaths are equivalent to 0.017% of the population.
Worldwide, there has been 3.24 million deaths from COVID-19, assuming reported figures are accurate.
So far, India's deaths, 230K, accounts for 7.099% of all recorded deaths in the world.
For further comparison, in 2018, India's population was 1.3 billion, with roughly 9.7 million deaths estimated for that year.
Perspective is important.
Yeah, so I mean, what are they, like, there must be at least like 10% of the world's population with over a billion odd people, and then 4% of the deaths from COVID. But it's also, I did see, if you compare it to Britain, so per capita, how many cases have they got?
And per capita, how many deaths?
I can't remember off the top of my head.
It's probably changed a little bit now.
But their death rate needs to increase by 10% before they get to our peak.
Yeah.
So...
I'm not denying that it's a problem and all that, but it does seem that there's a lot of worry when it doesn't seem proportionate per capita.
But again, I don't know anything about COVID. That's why I don't usually talk about it.
So, is that a Spanish name?
Callum, I decree that you have committed a sin of racismus.
How dare you think my Spanish name is Mexican, you bigot, because you're all Castilians and you know it.
Getting serious again, I understand your weariness of the party Vox, but they are real conservatives and patriots in Spain.
For you to understand, they are basically the Spanish version of the North FC mean, based.
PP is basically, yeah, I'm a conservative party most of the time.
Yeah, I imagine that's how it was.
I mean, again, it's difficult to gauge with foreign parties, but there always seems to be the, yeah, I'm a conservative, and then there's the party that's, you know, the dissident right there, and they're actual conservatives, traditionalists, usually.
But with Vox, I mean, like, we don't have any territorial disputes with Poland, for example.
So, like...
I remember about Corvus Miki and his Confederation party.
Poland's a different world in politics, but they seem kind of cool.
But we don't have any debates about, oh, you need to return Gdansk to Poland or something.
Whereas with Vox, they want Gibraltar back, and it ain't happening.
Never happening.
I don't know why they think that's ever happening.
Are you guys ever going to return?
Get a French fisherman's going to help him out.
Again, return.
What do you mean return?
Just because it's geographically next to Spain, it belongs to Spain.
Like, how does that work?
Like, all the people there are English.
In the same way that the, what is it, Ceuta and whatever the other one is in Morocco.
Like, they're all Spaniards.
If you want it, fair and square, you should keep it.
You should have won.
That's what you should have done.
But you lost the war.
It was given to us in a treaty anyway, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was like the War of Spanish Succession or something.
We landed with the Dutch and then we took it.
Dutch don't get nothing.
I think they got something.
Who cares?
Homosexuality and dope smoking, but it looks...
It's a joke.
Rhys, voted today in the Scottish elections, went for the Conservatives.
I didn't have many local choices.
And the Scottish Libertarian Party.
Thank you.
If you're from Scotland, I recommend voting.
Hopefully we'll reduce the S&P's choke on Scottish democracy.
Hold your laughter.
Yeah, good god I don't know what to do with Scotland.
I mean, we mentioned it before.
The more I think about it, and I hate to be this way, but if the majority of the Scottish population keep voting SNP, and you want independence, you're going to have to deal with the National Socialists, and we'll be down in England, where the left will never form a government again.
I think what you see is what they call a brain drain.
You'll have all the educated, more wealthy Scots just come down here.
Sensible people.
Yeah.
Because who wants to deal with the SNP? Yeah.
Apparently the Scottish public, which...
Oh man, I can't get over it.
But thank you for voting for Dankulus Party.
That's always great to hear, because Dank's doing a good job.
It's a good boy.
Andy D off topic today I had a 30 day Facebook ban for something I posted 18 months ago that back sorry 18 months ago that back then was spicy but still was within the Everton window this begs the question at what point does your history make you unpunishable because of a moving goal post if everything is haram in 18 months surely this can be sustained surely this can't be sustained and should we have recourse against the media companies yeah
I mean you look at the post from like 2003 there's the stuff in there talking about Islam that couldn't be posted these days um I mean, the funniest example, as I've mentioned before, was John when he had this profile picture with British Voldemort and then like, you know, silhouetted him out.
I think, I remember now, he put in the little teeth.
His teeth because they're all fake because he's got them all bludgeoned out of him.
Yeah.
But there is no recourse, that's true.
Is there any way you can counter that?
Not really.
Just things change, I guess.
It just sucks that the internet's forever.
Henry Ashman.
On the jetsuits thing.
They're using them in the Lake District to allow mountain rescue and paramedics to help climbers or hikers in trouble.
Cuts the response time from 30 minutes to 90 seconds.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
It's an amazing invention.
They've come out of nowhere, those things.
Like, I read the Wikipedia page on it, and they were apparently invented in, like, 2016, like the company formed, and then in 2018 they were, you know, done.
But, good God, I didn't think I'd ever see that.
I know.
It's awesome.
I don't know how long they last.
I imagine they have like, you know, 90 seconds, 2 minutes or something, and they're out of power.
Douglas Fraser.
As cool as the mobile infantry sounds, I'm not sure how practical those jet suits would be in combat.
Like, how are the soldiers supposed to protect themselves from bullets while they're in the air?
That's true.
This is when you said about pirates.
Yeah.
I can't imagine someone just flying past us, just sitting up, really.
My understanding is, because it would be a huge tanker, the idea is you're meant to get on there to throw the ladder down.
Oh, a tanker.
I thought you meant little thingies.
Yeah.
Right.
I see.
Don't show it, John.
Don't know.
So you would have the huge tanker, and one guy would jump on with the jet, and then he would throw a ladder over, and then he would jump back off and get into a boat, so he's not shot, presumably.
That's kosher?
Pretty sure that...
Isn't that the one that got you the ban?
No.
What?
Okay.
Alright.
Anyway, so let's go for the next question.
Andy Johns.
An idea.
Feds overly...
Sorry.
Feds are overly populated with Wocus equals late Roman army overly populated with barbarians.
Your thoughts?
True.
Yeah.
I don't know about the barbarians would say more just the self-indulgent hedonists of the late Roman Empire.
Yeah.
That sort of brought their own demise on it.
I don't like comparing everything to Rome.
It seems more like it's like if Cold War America decides to starve everyone with communists at the top.
Yeah.
So...
Joseph Woodland.
I do love a bayonet charge.
So I've got a factoid that's quite upsetting really.
The last bayonet charge was by a French unit.
Like a proper...
Yeah, I think it's in Algeria.
In 96.
Yeah, a proper charge.
In which there's hundreds of men doing it.
I imagine there are still like, you know, your squad does a bayonet charge.
Yeah.
That happens in war.
But yeah, there is nothing more terrifying.
I remember watching a Korean War documentary about this as well.
The guys they were interviewing were Americans.
The Chinese had invaded, so they sit down in the trenches and they just gunned them down.
They couldn't get over how many they were gunning down.
And apparently the other side, they heard word that the other side were upset with the Americans and considered them not real soldiers because they wouldn't do bayonet charges and things like this.
They'd just call an airstrike and bomb them all.
And the American guy they were interviewing was like, right, next assault we're doing, we're doing a bayonet charge then.
And he got his whole unit to be like, right, there's bayonets, and they ran out.
And apparently the Chinese were so, you know, surprised that they actually did a bayonet charge, they all ran away.
So it worked out, which is good to hear.
So, uh...
Complex name again.
Don't worry, Callum.
I don't give an S about Gibraltar.
Thank you.
Because, I mean, you can keep the Spanish things in Morocco as well.
What I do care about is getting relations down there better and maybe patrol the waters from surprise immigrants.
And if we better...
Sorry.
And if we become even more based, bully the rest of Europe with our strait of supremacy.
Yeah, that's totally true.
I mean, that would be a good thing to see.
Sharon Chamberlain.
Yankee accents.
That's probably comical to Americans as some of us cannot understand some regional accents.
We're a pretty big place.
It's a fun game to pull up videos and try and decipher what they're saying.
That's true.
There are a lot of regional accents in the US, but there is a general Yankee tone to all of them.
And when I say Yankee, it's just British.
There is that little tiny enclave of English-sounding people, isn't there?
Yeah, what is that?
Up near New York?
Is it New England?
New England, yeah.
It's like they've basically not changed in 200-300 years.
Yeah, I'm an American friend.
He really wanted to take me out there and just see the interaction to listen to them.
It must be really cool.
Anyway, she continues.
I've never subbed to the content site before.
I enjoy your cast stuff usually, as I live in Portland.
Oh, good God, I'm sorry.
And I'm just getting off the porch and putting my rifle away when he won.
So we're on one o'clock every workday here on the website.
But I'm sad to hear you live in Portland.
Good luck living with that.
I mean, if you see stuff, just send us it.
I've done multiple videos talking about Poland at this point, and I just can't believe that that's reality in an American city.
Awful.
We have a comment from, what is this, Rubble?
Yay.
So, Odyssey, Odyssey, sorry.
Bagface.
I am officially declaring for conscription if war does break out.
I'll never get the opportunity to fight the French in my lifetime.
Yeah.
There's something glorious about that.
I think you just have to, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
You were going to war with France.
Yeah, sure.
Like...
You can say to the next generation, you'll never know what it's like to bayonet charge the French.
I will.
Joseph Woodland.
Here's an Empire white belt.
Mali has asked the British Army to be the sole foreign military base to have camps in their country.
Huh?
That's weird.
Mali's a French colony, isn't it?
I used to be.
I think so, yeah.
They speak French, so they want the British there.
Okay.
There's still quite a lot of ex-colonies that sort of want the British back.
I think Jamaica voted like 70% would rejoin the Empire.
Yeah.
I thought the best example I've ever seen was, I think it was in, it might have been in one of those books on China, but there was a meeting in China to discuss international communism and so forth, and they had delegates from every world government that they could get their hands on.
Most people didn't want to go in the West, obviously.
But the Fijian government sent a delegate, and the Fijian government delegate got there, and they were discussing how bad the empire was and the damn imperialists and all this.
And the Fijian guy got really upset about this.
It was his time to speak, and he spoke to him.
He said, actually, one of the criticisms we had of the British is they didn't govern us more.
I was like, oh, okay.
And all the communists got really upset about this whole thing.
Still a massive...
Loads of Fijians come here to join the army.
And we like them.
But we're out of time, so we're going to head off because we do 1 till 2...
Yeah, 1 till 2.30.
Sorry, my brain is a bit fried.
But if you want more content, go over to loadofseeders.com.
We have loads of premium content up there.
As I said, this afternoon we will have the history podcast that Karl did with Bodade if you want some of Karl's content.
If you're wondering where the heck Karl is, he's on holiday.
He's on holiday for the next week and a bit.
So he'll be back when he's back.
