	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 21st of May 2021.
	I'm joined by Carl and today we're going to be talking about Joe Biden and his F-ups over the last few weeks.
	The Spanish continuing to fight back and leading the way and knowing the way.
	And also, what was the last topic we were going to do?
	We're going to talk about the revolt of the comedians because comedians have decided that actually cancel culture and wokeness is too far and it's going to kill their careers and it's about time they realised this but we'll get into it then.
	Yeah, I mean, it's a shame you didn't realise it during the Ricky, sorry, that Count Dankula debacle.
	Or after, in the next one, in the next one, in the next one, but, you know, there we go.
	Well, they've got the end of their end, so that's good.
	Anyway, first some shilling, so the premium content we have on the podcast, sorry, on the website, everyone should go and check out lotuses.com to check out the premium content if you haven't.
	There's loads of stuff on there.
	We've got loads of stuff coming.
	The best thing on here that we've recently done, that I've done with you, is the ghost ship of Theseus, which I absolutely loved.
	It's just the ship that gets replaced.
	But also the epochs you've done with Bo about the different voyages around the world before world exploration was a thing.
	The Pythias' voyage and Hannah the Navigator's voyage.
	Both excellent.
	But we've got another epochs coming on Sunday, which is about the...
	Deep machinations of Alcibiades and how he nearly ruined Sparta in one political manoeuvre and it was amazing.
	You could probably make a great meme out of that as well.
	But that'll be up on Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it.
	We've got loads of great stuff.
	We also did an interview yesterday with Posey Parker.
	Yes, we did.
	I suppose, would you say feminist or not?
	I suppose because she's not a feminist anymore.
	Well, yeah, I mean...
	Kind of, but I mean, it's talking about feminism, wokeness, and the definition of what a woman is, as controversial as that apparently is these days.
	The woman that's been deplatformed for having the dictionary definition of a woman.
	It's ridiculous.
	God, I feel for her.
	Anyway, we also done the 1984 Book Club, which is now done, and we will have that out as soon as possible.
	So sign up if you want to see that.
	We're comparing it to Brave New World, as we've been alluding to.
	And also, we called to the video on Eat the Bugs, which is going to be coming out soon.
	But I don't think that's going to be premium.
	That's going to be free.
	That'll be a free one.
	But I just want to plug it because I think it's going to be good.
	So Eat the Bugs, sit in the pod, and why is that wrong?
	Yes.
	Anyway, without further ado, ciao Biden!
	Yeah, so Joe Biden tends to spend a lot of time simping for China, and no one else can seem to understand it, and I can't either.
	But, I mean, Joe Biden himself explains, look, I just love hanging out with Xi Jinping.
	He's a really smart guy, which is an actual direct quote.
	I mean, I'm of the opinion that Xi Jinping is what is essentially a fascist dictator.
	He has implemented, I guess, what we'll call state capitalism, which is...
	Just another synonym for fascism, really.
	He is operating concentration camps.
	He appears to be undertaking some kind of genocide.
	And he, not so long ago, changed the way that the Chinese political system works so he can hold office for life.
	So what's the difference?
	You know, any difference seems to be purely semantic.
	And so, I mean, you get quotes like this from Joe Biden.
	And this is a very recent quote, in fact.
	It was only last month or so, two months ago.
	Where he says, I've known Xi Jinping a long time.
	Allegedly, by the time I left office as vice president, I'd spent more time with him than any other world leader had.
	Which is a weird brag.
	Like, I'd hung out with Adolf Hitler more than any other world leader.
	I'm a Democrat.
	I don't know why you'd say that and think that this is something people are like, oh, well, he's got a good point.
	But of course, Joe Biden seems to be mimicking Xi Jinping's model of governance because he thinks that the Chinese model of governance is going to be what dominates the 21st century.
	And I guess with that attitude, it probably will.
	But anyway.
	It's almost like there is no fight.
	We've looked at your system.
	It's terrible.
	Let's do it.
	I guess it works for the people at the top.
	I remember that Joe Biden was like, we the government are the people.
	So that's probably what the Chinese Communist Party think of themselves.
	So it seems that he loves China for some reason.
	I just don't get it.
	I guess it's just satisfyingly corrupt and they keep sending him stacks, 10% for the big guy.
	I guess he's just been bought off.
	And that's just really how it looks.
	But it also looks embarrassing when he misquotes Mao and tries to sell Mao to the American public.
	I don't know why he has to do this.
	I just don't think he knows that this is wrong.
	I mean, he is senile.
	And I don't know.
	It's just so weird.
	I mean, he keeps...
	Obviously, he messes up the speech.
	But if we go to the next one, John, he says...
	There's a saying, used in a different context, a Chinese saying that says, women hold up half the world, he said in a commencement speech on Wednesday.
	It's an absolute stupid position to make sure they don't represent at least half of what we do, which, I mean, I guess, if people voted for you, however...
	But this, of course, is a quote from Chairman Mao, the founder of the Chinese Communist Party, and the Chinese Communist Party is not a different party, it's ancestrally, ship of Theseus style, it is the same party.
	And this was Mao's quote, women hold up half the sky.
	Maybe, I guess, I mean, if you want, but why are we quoting Mao?
	Again, genocidal dictator.
	Did more good than harm, I guess.
	Well, yeah, I guess he's on the Diane Abbott train when it comes to Mao, which is an actual quote from Diane Abbott.
	I mean, being charitable, I wonder, because he's such good buds with Xi Jinping, maybe he's hanging out with him, and Xi Jinping's just like, yeah, there's a Chinese saying, not there's a Mao saying.
	Undoubtedly.
	Yeah, I don't doubt that.
	That's exactly what's happened here.
	But I would suggest that possibly is inexcusable.
	Like, if you're hanging out with, well, there weren't any successors to Hitler, obviously, but if Hitler had had a successor, you're hanging out with him, and he was like, yeah, we've got an old German saying, and it's just one of Hitler's lines.
	Chamberlain hanging out with Hitler.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It just generally looks kind of terrible.
	Ronald Reagan's like, Stalin's saying.
	Exactly.
	You've got an old communist Russian expression.
	But yeah, so I mean, you know, this is...
	But the thing is, what this is based on, he'll just tell you this, right?
	He just wants women to be worker drones in exactly the same way that the Chinese Communist Party wanted women to be worker drones.
	He says there's no expression, women hold up half the sky, guess what?
	The reason no country will be able to compete for world economic prominence unless they fully engage the women in their society.
	Okay.
	Get back to work, ladies.
	I know you've been having some time off because of COVID, and you thought, oh, this is quite nice, not having to be a wage slave for some distant corporate overlord in a remote capital office somewhere that doesn't care about you whatsoever.
	But unfortunately, you need to get back to work, because otherwise, economic prominence is lost.
	As if that's something you should be...
	Fully engaged women?
	Yeah, fully engaged.
	Such a slippery statement.
	It's min-max women's productivity.
	Yes, and otherwise economic prominence is lost.
	Because I know you're going to lose a lot of sleep if you don't have economic prominence.
	You need to do your part, ladies.
	Get to work.
	What a statement as well.
	Imagine if the government came to you and said we need to fully engage men to min-max productivity.
	Would you see me as a drone or something like that?
	Yes, that's exactly how they see them.
	I would reply with that, I actually don't care what your spreadsheet says.
	Piss off.
	I'm just not interested.
	But this is the way they, of course, view you and China and the rest of the world.
	And I don't think that's going to change, to be honest.
	But anyway, going on, we'll just talk about a few of the things that Joe Biden's done recently, just to fill you in on what's been happening in case you haven't been following it.
	Hunter Biden still owns his stake in the Chinese firm that was giving him 10%.
	You know, where he's holding 10% for the big guy.
	I think it's the same firm.
	So he still has the stake in the Chinese private equity firm, despite the campaign pledge that neither he nor his family would maintain any foreign business interests.
	As if anyone believed that for a second.
	I mean, come on, you'd have to be pretty gullible, wouldn't you?
	So this is Bohai Harvest, RST, Equity Investment Fund Management Company, according to Fox News, which is co-owned by the Bank of China, the state-controlled central bank.
	I mean, none of this is getting out of the reach of the party, but then nothing in China is out of the reach of the party, and everything they do is at their liberty.
	So there we go.
	But of course, this is because in 2019, the reason this is important...
	It's not just the fact that the President of the United States is being bought off by China and, you know, before he was president, had been bought off by them for years before.
	I mean, that's their words.
	As if that's not important enough.
	I just want to emphasize the speech.
	Remember the one that's been taken down?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	This was Di Dongcheng.
	We literally said, well, we have friends in the White House when Trump was in.
	We don't have friends in the White House.
	But now Joe Biden's back in.
	We have friends.
	We just say, here's a stack of money.
	And if that's not enough, we just give them two stacks.
	And eventually the problems resolve themselves.
	It's not a Western criticism of Biden.
	It's a Chinese, you know...
	Admission that they puppeteer him with cash, which is presumably why he likes China so much.
	Let's be fair, this is not going to be the first time either, is it?
	It's not like, oh, in the last year I decided to do this.
	No, you've been hanging out with Xi Jinping for decades.
	He's been doubtless giving you kickbacks for decades.
	But anyway, the reason is that on the campaign trail in October 2019, Biden said, no one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in meetings as if they're a cabinet member, or will, in fact, have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country.
	I mean, just the balls to say such a barefaced lie.
	Like we know, we know that Hunter Biden does.
	We know he does.
	He's still on the board.
	And this is 100 days into his father's presidency.
	Hunter Biden is still on the board of, sorry, still investing in this Chinese bank, still has investments there.
	And it's not like he doesn't have a history of being on the board of foreign companies to funnel money.
	I just, the arrogance.
	They can just say, yeah, well, we're not going to, and then just do it, right?
	I'm going to ask about this.
	Jen Psaki, she says, well, he's been working to unwind his investment, but I would certainly point to you that he's a private citizen.
	No, he ain't.
	The son of the president is not a private citizen.
	And in fact, that's the problem, isn't it?
	Because if he was just a private citizen, we wouldn't have any of these conversations because no one would care if a private citizen was taking money from China.
	But the fact that he's the son of the president of the United States and has direct business dealings with China, and we have evidence to suggest that China, he is holding 10% for the big guy, and Tony Bobulinski came out and said, yeah, that means Biden and he's taking money from China for Biden.
	By the way, you should know this.
	Shows that this is actually something that is a conflict of interest for the President of the United States.
	It is not as simple as James Sacki Gank Lang as a private citizen.
	Shut up!
	It's not true.
	You're a liar.
	You're corrupt.
	Your administration is corrupt.
	There are many other questions to be asked about it, but who cares, right?
	No one, you're never going to be held to account.
	That's the problem.
	Never going to be held to account.
	Because the media refused to do their job.
	The media refused to do their job.
	I mean, like there are surely agencies within the United States, institutions within the United States that could turn around like the FBI or whatever and say, right, I think actually there is enough evidence to suggest that there's a connection between Joe Biden In fact, a direct linkage between Joe Biden, the Chinese Communist Party, and vast sums of cash that maybe it's our job to investigate.
	But of course, under Biden's administration, that's not going to happen.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	There will be no accountability.
	There will be no justice.
	This is the country you live in, my American friends.
	And I'm sad to say it.
	I'm honestly sad to say it.
	Didn't happen under Trump, did it?
	But, yeah, I mean, look, this...
	Where haven't they taken money from?
	Like, Hunter Biden's had business interests, of course, in Ukraine, China, Kazakhstan.
	He took three million from the mayor of Moscow's wife, etc., etc.
	And Joe Biden just came out and said, oh, I don't know anything about this, apart from the fact we've got the emails that show he did know exactly about this.
	So I don't...
	I don't know why I even bother talking about this, really.
	Because at the end of the day, like...
	I mean, Joe Biden may just come out and say, yeah, I do.
	Tough.
	Let's go back in.
	Go have a nap.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	Anyway...
	Moving on, we'll talk about Biden's hate crime bill.
	Do you want to talk about this?
	Because I actually didn't look into this.
	Yeah, so this, I just, I found it really funny because I saw loads of progressive media.
	I mean, this is Reuters here, but I saw like, now this, you know, Democrat outlets, the Democrat Party's on Facebook page like, ha ha, we've signed the hate crime bill that will stop Asian Americans being harassed for being Asian.
	It was like, nope.
	Nope, it doesn't change anything.
	So in the Reuters article here, they tell you what it does do.
	Designates a Justice Department employee to expedite a review of hate crimes reported to the police during the COVID-19 pandemic.
	It would also provide guidance for state and local law enforcement agencies to report hate crimes, expand public education campaigns, and increase guidance to combat discriminatory language in describing the pandemic.
	So he didn't propose a bill, he signed an executive order.
	It's just like guidance.
	Please do this.
	So no new law.
	Because there isn't any law to be passed.
	Asian hate crimes are already on the books.
	That's a thing the United States has.
	Something I disagree with being a thing, because it's antithetical to liberalism.
	I mean, why is it not just, you know, some random white supremacist in New York or LA or something beats up a poor old Asian lady?
	Why does it need to be like, oh, this is a hate crime or anything like that?
	Is that not enough of a crime?
	Yeah, but I don't want to get into an argument about hate crimes because that's another time.
	But the thing here also being that, the big no-no being that it's not mostly white supremacists doing this disproportionately.
	Of course.
	No, no, no.
	White supremacist is just a default assignment that anyone who commits a hate crime against an Asian gets.
	You have to understand.
	So they continue in here.
	The bill signing ceremony marks the first time a large group gathered unmasked inside the White House since the start of the Biden administration in January.
	Now, I don't actually know the answer to this because I didn't have time to look it up, but you remember when Biden came in and there was a mask mandate that he brought in and immediately broke?
	Yep.
	I wonder, is that still in effect or not?
	Because he's in federal land there.
	I don't know what the CDC said.
	What did Fauci say?
	God, like it would even matter though.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But that was exactly right.
	He literally comes in, signs this mandate and says anyone on government property has to wear a mask.
	And then he walks off into the White House garden without a mask.
	It's like, what are you doing?
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	So then there's also the fawning.
	So Vice President Kamala Harris, the first woman, the first African-American, and the first person of Asian descent to hold office, opened the ceremony.
	Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
	It's just so pathetic.
	All those boxes.
	All those boxes.
	Look at that.
	I'm not even going to say anything.
	Just how pathetic.
	Is this Reuters here saying this?
	It's not a quote.
	That's them writing that.
	Yeah.
	God, how sad it must be to be in that wing of politics.
	So then there's just, like, the fawning as well.
	So the next one is something I found.
	There's ceremonial pens for all.
	For this bill, there's nothing.
	There's really nada, there's just some advice.
	I would like a ceremonial pen, though.
	As you can see the guy there, the hate crimes act into law with ceremonial pens for all.
	As if all the people there are meant to be, well done, you've done a good job.
	I love me.
	I've done so good.
	What have you done?
	They've issued some guidance.
	It's just a nothing book.
	Ask them to do their jobs.
	Oh, really?
	But then the next one I found is also just the kind of fawning I saw, and I just saw this was really funny as well.
	Joe Bining signing the anti-Asian hate crimes bill with diversity surrounding him.
	That's how you do it.
	Hashtag human rights, hashtag compassion.
	The chyron here at MSNBC. Biden signs bill to combat anti-Asian hate crimes.
	Doesn't do anything.
	Issues some guidance, but okay.
	But just the diversity surrounding him.
	Oh boy.
	Yeah.
	That's such cringe.
	Look at his smile.
	He looks so pleased with himself.
	I've got my diversity.
	I've told people not to beat up Asians.
	Oh, brilliant.
	Stunning and brave.
	Nothing happens.
	We have issues of guidance.
	Everyone have a pen.
	Everyone have a clap.
	I don't know.
	Sometimes I look at government and I'm just like, you guys are pathetic.
	Kamala Harris looks at Joe Biden like she's about to eat him.
	I mean, this is the way I look at my favourite dinner when it's presented to me after a long day and I'm starving, you know?
	It's like, ah, yes!
	It doesn't comment around how she got the job, is it?
	Well, no.
	Anyway, moving on.
	Moving on.
	We may as well go into one of Biden's numerous gaffes because, of course, he's the oldest man on Earth and for some reason he's the President of the United States.
	So he thought, and what is nice about this, is that not only is this Biden looking like a prat and gaffing, as usual, but he's also doing what Biden does best, and that's stealing someone else's material.
	So Biden, he was giving a speech to the Coast Guard of the United States, and he decided to rip off a Ronald raging speech.
	It didn't go well.
	I guess we'll watch the clip.
	My Coast Guard aides have been excellent.
	One of them taught me that, and I quote, the Coast Guard is that hard nucleus about which the Navy forms in time of war.
	I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, the hard nucleus around the Navy forms in times of war.
	You are a really dull class.
	Oh, boy.
	Look, man, when your joke lands flat, don't insult the audience.
	Fully Nish Kumar there.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, he fluffed it up anyway, so it's not like he even got it right.
	But good God, what an attitude.
	Listen, peasants, laugh when I tell you to laugh.
	When I've stopped talking, that's your cue.
	God, if I was doing it as well, I'd insult them.
	Like, do you know the joke title for the Coast Guard?
	No.
	Puddle Pirates.
	Oh.
	Because compared to the Navy and the military and whatnot.
	Yeah, but that's such a cute name.
	Such an adorable name!
	Hello, Puddle Pirates!
	I can imagine there'd be a kids' show called that, right?
	I'm not sure the Coast Guard would be called it, though.
	No, but it's endearing.
	That's not bad.
	That's not a bad name.
	Daddy, what do you do for a living?
	But yeah, anyway, moving on to Biden's next set of lies.
	Why not?
	We get to the MSM1. So he apparently recently claimed that his grandfather was a coal miner.
	Which wasn't true.
	And what I hate about this, again, the fawning, right?
	It's the fawning.
	And I just can't stand the framing, right?
	So Joe Biden said that his great-grandfather was a coal miner, should you believe him?
	And according to a Washington Post fact-check, no, you shouldn't.
	He's lying, again.
	But I don't really want to go on...
	I don't want to make a huge deal about Joe Biden lying because he lies all the time.
	He's just like any other politician.
	And there does seem to be something slimy about when he does it.
	Trump just expands on what is really true.
	You know, so Trump, something true will happen and then Trump will take it up about five or six notches.
	But there was a kernel of truth there.
	But what Joe Biden says is just not true.
	Like when he says, oh, I graduated top of my class.
	No, you didn't.
	You graduated bottom of your class.
	Like, why did you say that?
	You know, that's a record that people can check.
	People found out.
	Why did you say that?
	And he sits there giving Neil Kinnick's speech.
	It's like, but this is my speech.
	No, it's not.
	It's Neil Kinnick's.
	It's literally word for word.
	We have it on video that you took this.
	You know, we know you took this.
	And he just does this over and over and over, right?
	And so this one...
	Should we care?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Like, I don't...
	Sorry, when Trump was lying, you just stayed home?
	Like, you didn't write 50 articles about the damn lie within 10 minutes?
	Well, yeah, no.
	I didn't write fawning, you know, well, I mean, we should take Trump's word for it or something like this.
	I was just like, whatever.
	And this is the thing.
	I don't even hate Joe Biden.
	I don't even hate Joe Biden.
	It's just like...
	How could you?
	Exactly.
	What's this hate?
	It's just this empty suit.
	It's like trying to find mustard gas.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's like he's beneath the contempt I would have to feel for me to hate him.
	He's just an obvious shill.
	But anyway, so Biden was lying about the claims of his family's coal mining history.
	The Post found there is little doubt that his great-grandfather was a politician and a mining engineer, but not a mine worker.
	It comes from a family of politicians.
	He lies.
	He's really good at being a politician.
	He's become President of the United States.
	I mean, you know, you've got to give him credit.
	He really knows how to lie his way to the top.
	But anyway, right, so this is not the first time, of course.
	We'll just go through a few of these lies.
	As the Washington Post said, right, this is not a repeat of 1988 when Biden lifted lines from the British politician Neil Kinnick's speech and when he falsely said that he had ancestors who worked 12 hours underground.
	Well, it kind of is.
	But this is just part of this history of plagiarism.
	I mean, last year he claimed that he was once arrested in South Africa while trying to visit Nelson Mandela in prison.
	Do you think that happened?
	Why would you?
	What actually happened, according to his campaign manager at the time, she said actually no, he was just separated from his party at the airport.
	This is very much like Hillary Clinton claiming that she arrived in Bosnia under sniper fire to CNN, who were the ones on the ground in Bosnia in like the 90s or whatever when she arrived.
	And then they just have the clip of her arriving, filmed from getting off the plane, going into wherever building, no sniper fire whatsoever.
	It's just like, why would you just say such obviously false things?
	I don't understand.
	But this is the point, right?
	So you get all these lies, and this is how this is being represented, right?
	Biden is not a dissembler whose minor lies betray a cold, dark soul lurking behind the mirrored aviators.
	He comes across as a vernacular, I don't even know what that means, corny and over-familiar, not because he's grasping for something that can't be obtained by legitimate means, but because that's who he is.
	What?!
	Like, he's not grasping at something that can't be obtained by legitimate means.
	Oh yeah, because there's no doubt in America about the legitimacy of Biden's presidency.
	But good God...
	So yeah, I just don't understand why everyone has to run defence for what is a known and proven liar and then be like, yeah, but he's not lying because he's a bad guy.
	He's not lying because he wants to get something from you he doesn't legitimately deserve.
	He's lying because that's just what he's like.
	There's legendary video footage of him chatting up senators' mothers and telling their prepubescent daughters no date until they're 30.
	And that's heartwarming.
	I don't think Joe Biden's interactions with children are actually very heartwarming.
	I wish I'd actually got some compilation clips up of Joe Biden's interactions with children and women, to be honest.
	And, oh God, you know, but heartwarming is not how I would describe it, right?
	But one thing it isn't is inauthentic.
	Career liar!
	Career liar!
	And they're like, yeah, well, he's not inauthentic.
	Just, well...
	What foreign universe do you live in that you think that's persuasive to anyone who follows politics in any way, shape, or form?
	I mean, this is why I called him mustard gas.
	Your point's totally on the money, which is just so hard to hate because it's so hard to give a toss.
	You think in 50 years he's got to be one of these pathetic caretaker presidents that no one remembers.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Just messed stuff up while he was in charge that was completely pointless.
	I'm just reminded of the anti-communist song, Ain't I Right?
	All the countries full of two-faced politicians.
	At least with Hillary, there was something more to hate there, because she was like, it's my turn.
	Just, I'm a woman, I deserve it.
	Whereas with Joe Biden, there's just, politician.
	She had an agenda that was sinister and beyond her own personal enrichment, because she's obviously rich.
	But with Joe Biden, it's hard to actually say that, because he looks like he just wants to have a nap.
	So he looks like he's someone else's agenda, and he's just like the front suit.
	Yeah, well, his own people said that, if you remember.
	We disavow Joe Biden's statements.
	The White House's position is not the same as the man who runs it.
	Yeah, so literally disavowing Joe Biden's statements.
	Based.
	I mean, based and revealing pills.
	Thank you for the mask slipping.
	So we covered yesterday the base border control in Spain that's doing a leonitis.
	But I wanted to go back to this, because it's getting even funnier, in my opinion.
	And it also ties into what's going on around the world.
	So, first thing here is just, I quoted this, I didn't think I had the link up, so we're going to do it again.
	So this is Douglas Murray's article for The Spectator, which is writing in 2016.
	EU officials find that most of the refugees are not refugees.
	What a mess.
	So he says in here, even EU officials are now finally admitting that a lot, or rather most, of the people who we have been calling refugees are not refugees.
	They are economic migrants with no more right to be called European citizens than anyone else in the world.
	Even Franz Timotson, vice president of the European Commission, made points this week.
	In his accounting, at least 60% of the people who are here are economic migrants who should not be here.
	They are from North African states, such as Morocco and Tunisia, he told Dutch Television.
	There are people that you can assume have no reason to apply for refugee status.
	They're people from practically the only stable Muslim countries in the world.
	Like North Africa there.
	The West North Africa part.
	The only parts of the Muslim world that aren't generally infested with jihadis or civil wars.
	And they're like, yeah, we're a refugee from that place.
	Well, they've still got jihadis.
	Well, of course they do.
	Part of the deal, I guess.
	I suppose it is, yeah.
	But 60% of those who came in 2016, 2016 being the year of the migrant crisis, utterly pointless.
	And it's exactly the same.
	So we go back to Spain for the next link, which is just them saying here, Spain sends troops as 8,000 migrants enter the enclave.
	Same situation.
	You know, probably a higher percentage of these folks, because there's no war to run from, like Syria.
	There's just them coming from all over Africa and the Middle East because they feel like it.
	They've been told that Europe's paved with gold and they're going to come.
	You know what's really interesting is, historically, it takes about 10,000 men to conquer Britain.
	So, just saying, 8,000 migrants is quite a large number.
	Yeah, which is why you've got to send the military in.
	It is.
	And look at the dude with the mask.
	Lessons are about to be learned.
	We're going to talk about that in a minute, because the framing of this is disgusting.
	So if we go to the next one, this is just like the BBC is reporting on it.
	So, Spain migrants.
	I said goodbye to my family and left them with nothing.
	That seems really irresponsible.
	Shut up.
	Hang on, hang on.
	No, no, no.
	Let's dally on this for a second.
	So you're a 25, 30-year-old man.
	30, Mohammed is.
	30 Mohammeds, right.
	So you're a 30-year-old man.
	You're living in a country where you're saying, oh, it's war-torn.
	It's rough.
	He's from Morocco.
	Oh, he's wrong.
	So there is no war.
	Okay, so there's no war.
	But you're like, even then, right?
	You're a 30-year-old man.
	You're just living your life.
	You're like, you know what?
	Bye.
	Bye.
	Where are you going?
	Where are you going?
	I'm just going to try and break into Spain.
	I'm off to Paris.
	Yeah.
	I just fancy it.
	What about us?
	Yeah, what about you?
	Good question.
	I don't know what you can do.
	Good luck.
	That quote there said, Mohamed, a 30-year-old from Morocco.
	No, no.
	Mohamed, an irresponsible bastard from Morocco.
	Carry on.
	Yeah.
	It's that simple.
	I don't care if you want a job in Spain.
	You have no right to be in Spain.
	Why does he think the Spanish owe him a job?
	They don't.
	If I can break into your country, you'll give me a job.
	No foreign country owes you anything.
	Yeah.
	That goes for everyone on this planet.
	You have no right to someone else's land.
	And it turns out that the Spanish are like, no, we're going to give you a beating.
	Yeah.
	That's the correct thing to do, though.
	They have borders, and to uphold your borders, you have to use force.
	If you say, we have borders, you cannot cross this without a good reason, and must go through the legal process, or else.
	Or else what?
	Or else you get a bee thing.
	Exactly.
	And thrown into the sea.
	We will use violence against you.
	And just, Mohammed here, bad guy.
	Just horrible bad guy.
	No, you cannot just break into someone else's country, because Gibbs job.
	This is Hispania!
	But seriously though, if you were acting effective, you'd apply through the legal channels.
	You'd be like, look, can I come and live in Spain?
	I'd like to work in there.
	Also, you quite like me.
	I've got these skills.
	I can do this.
	I have something to offer.
	Or you can break in.
	Like, you want a job, but your job's going to be a criminal.
	That's what it's going to be.
	Because that's how you're starting the relationship.
	That's how it's going to go on.
	Yeah, I don't see why anyone would expect any kind of good faith response.
	I wouldn't expect it.
	If I was literally, like, climbing over the fence for another country's border, and then they would call me, I'd be like, oh, I'm just here for a job.
	I wouldn't expect them to believe me.
	Here's my job application.
	Again, we have to take his word for it.
	So Mohamed told RTVE in Spanish that he had taken a taxi with his cousin and some friends before swimming the 30 minutes to reach Spain's territory.
	On the way to the border, they were stopped by Moroccan authorities, he said.
	But they let us continue.
	It was like a yes and a no.
	The Moroccan government minister has implied that his country relaxed border controls this week in retaliation after a top militant opposed to the Moroccan rule over Western Sahara was allowed hospital treatment in Spain last month.
	So for people who don't know, there's a conflict going on in Western...
	well, conflict, I don't know what it is at this point.
	But Western Sahara wants to be independent.
	The Polisadio Front are fighting for that.
	And the Moroccan government says, no, this is Moroccan territory.
	So one of the militants went to Spain, got hospital treatment, because what does Spain give a toss?
	Some foreign conflict.
	Injured man, we have a hospital.
	You know, that simple.
	And in response, Morocco's like, right, screw you.
	We're just going to send thousands of men to your border.
	Here's an army.
	Yeah.
	I mean, again, there's another foreign conflict I don't give a toss about on either side, but not really reason to effectively declare war on Spain here.
	But it is proof that weakness is provocation.
	So, there's an interesting interview they do in here with a Spanish lady.
	Mercedes, a woman in her 60s, explained that she felt sorry for the kids who didn't even have clothes, but she banged the table in anger when she told us that the migrants were let through the border every time Morocco wanted money or something from Spain.
	Base Mercedes, but what kids?
	What are you talking about kids?
	All of these adult men.
	You can see that chap there.
	If you can scroll up again, John, just get the other photo, the one above it.
	You can see, look at this, where are the kids?
	These are all 20 to 30-something men, and they're all just chances, obvious chances.
	I can't stand it.
	What's interesting is the European Union is backing Spain.
	Good.
	Funny how that happens.
	As soon as there's an actual threat, they're like, no, no, close the borders.
	It's almost as if Brexit had that point right.
	So European officials have supported Spain's response to the border crossings with the EU commissioner selling Spanish radio Europe that he will not be intimidated by anyone on the issue of migration.
	Moroccan Minister for State and Human Rights has quoted as saying, what did Spain expect from Morocco, which sees its neighbour hosting the head of a group which took up arms against the kingdom?
	There we go.
	So, you're just like, we're just going to stop and force the border.
	Hey, yeah, thousands of men invade Spain.
	Yeah, I don't think that's a proportional response.
	Sorry.
	So, we go to the footage.
	So, the first one here is just some footage, the next link.
	So, of them scaling the walls.
	So, if you scroll down just so we can see these.
	I'm not going to play the audio from these because, you know, I don't want to...
	It's just going to be Arabic noises anyway.
	So, you can see them scaling it there.
	The next one is just randos running through the streets.
	So, you scroll down here.
	It's just people running.
	I'm amazed there aren't militias of Spanish men armed with bats to just catch them and club them and throw them out.
	Well, if you're listening...
	Well, what's the problem?
	What are the military going to say?
	Bad job?
	They'll be like, thanks for that.
	How dare you defend your own homes?
	Yeah.
	So the next footage is of the chaps who didn't do nothing, throwing stones at the police, because they're just wonderful chaps who were here for a job.
	They're already throwing stones at the police.
	They've broken in, they've been here five seconds, and they're chucking stones at the police.
	Why would you want these people in your country?
	I'm just here for a job.
	Just a job.
	Honestly.
	And of course they're the fawning for these poor, poor refugees who've come from Wartorn, Stop throwing stones!
	It's so pathetic.
	The video evidence, this is what I love about the 21st century, the invention of the internet and there being cameras everywhere.
	Left this nonsense you find in the media just instantly gets destroyed.
	Pick up another stone.
	The police haven't had the message hard enough yet.
	Yeah, so if we go to the next one, this is the BBC's reporting on it, which is devoid of reality.
	Oh, yeah.
	Just the photos that captured Spain's attention.
	So the first photo here, one photo shows a volunteer from the Spanish Red Cross comforting a migrant above on a beach in Sueta.
	The young woman, identified as Luna, told Spanish TV she did not know the man's name, only that he came from Senegal.
	Is there a war in Senegal?
	No.
	It's also a democracy.
	So it's also one of the best places in Africa.
	Well, yeah.
	One of the best free elections, handovers of power.
	How's the economy?
	Communist?
	No, it's good.
	Oh.
	Anyway.
	Okay.
	But just before we move on from this, right, I watched this video and we should have got up.
	This video is massive cringe, right?
	Because he's just sat on this rock and she comes over and she feeds him some water.
	She's pouring it into his mouth.
	It's like he's an adult.
	He can literally...
	He can literally just...
	As if he's three.
	Yeah, I mean, he's just sat on this rock.
	He's not, you know, he's not incapable of feeding himself.
	And then she gives him a hug and starts stroking his hair, like I would for one of my children.
	She wants to be a white saviour.
	She wants to be a white saviour.
	She should be doing this to children, right?
	No, no, sorry, sorry.
	We are in the wrong here.
	Yeah.
	No, no, no, we are in the wrong.
	Because after the image of the encounter was shared widely online, the 20-year-old said that she had been bombarded by sexist and racist comments and decided to protect her social media accounts.
	Okay.
	I don't believe it for a second.
	I bet people were just like, no, this is obvious nonsense.
	Probably, yeah.
	Sorry.
	But he was crying.
	I held out my hand and he hugged me.
	And then he started caressing his hair.
	And it's like, oh my god, what are you doing?
	Yeah.
	Like, this is not an animal.
	Like, you're treating...
	I found this deer in the woods.
	The black guy's like, stop touching me.
	That is exactly how she treated him.
	Like, he was an injured child or an animal or something.
	She'd discovered and she was taking care of and petting.
	It was gross.
	Like, she was not treating him like he was a human being.
	So the Spanish left backed her.
	But news of the backlash prompted other users to thank her with the hashtag, hashtag GraciasLuna, which almost 50,000 times on Twitter.
	Hashtag GraciasLuna was representing the best values of our society, responded Spanish Economic Minister Nadia.
	Treating blacks like animals is the best values of Spanish society, is it?
	Well done, leftists.
	Boy.
	I'm pretty sure he's going to be a socialist minister as well because of the socialist prime minister in government.
	So, well, another minister described the photo as a symbol of hope and solidarity, and yet you still stand in the military there.
	Isn't that interesting?
	You're sat in Madrid with your little cups of teas and your nice...
	Well, no, they don't have cups of teas.
	Oh, sorry.
	I don't want a Spanish drink.
	I don't know, you're sleeping in Madrid.
	Morning?
	Your afternoon nap, and then your morning nap, and your lunch nap, and you're just enjoying it, occasionally waking up to tweet, oh, isn't that wonderful, and then you go back to sleep after sending the military to the border.
	Funny, isn't it?
	Isn't it funny?
	Not my problem.
	Therefore, I get to be as progressive as I like.
	Yeah, so we go to the next picture, which I think you showed.
	This is called The Rescue.
	Another photo which captured Spain's attention was Juan Francisco Valle, who had been hailed as a hero after rescuing a baby from the Waters Off sweater.
	Who threw a baby into the water?
	Are we really so fucking stupid that we're expected to believe that this child, this little baby here, that looks, I don't know, one, maybe?
	Well, crawled off and chucked herself into the sea.
	There's no way this baby can move unassisted.
	It's so stupid!
	Like, I'm sorry, I can't get over how the BBC puts this in front of you and is like, oh, look at this guy who saved the baby from the sea.
	Who put her in the sea?
	My son is about the same size as that baby.
	About five months old, I'd say.
	He can't crawl.
	That's still a couple of months off from crawling.
	There's no way that baby can move unassisted.
	Look at the description there.
	The child was completely soaked and very pale.
	Yeah, I wonder who did that.
	Yeah.
	Who throws a baby into the sea?
	God damn it.
	I hate it.
	I hate it.
	But I really wanted that job in Spain.
	Yeah, also the baby looks white.
	Yeah, John, you're right.
	The baby does look also white, which means it's not a Spanish baby.
	I'm here for a job.
	Let me throw my baby in the sea.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I just really want a job in Spain.
	How many babies do you have to chuck into the sea to get a job in Spain?
	That's the question, right?
	Sorry, John said it's probably Luna's.
	I've just got this image of Luna, like with her baby.
	Chucks that into the sea and then grabs the baby.
	What a mess.
	That is progressive moralism, isn't it?
	So the next image is called The Violence, and not all the photos from recent days were positive, says the BBC. How is this not positive?
	This image, taken after Spanish troops were deployed to the border area, shows a soldier hitting a migrant.
	How is that not positive?
	That is entirely positive.
	This guy's broken into your country, you know, or else, remember, or else what?
	Or else what?
	You have to use force.
	You have to use violence.
	Broken into your country, possibly throwing a baby into the ocean.
	I think he deserves this.
	You've got to be kicked out.
	Grab the man, hit him with a baton if he disobeys.
	We don't know the circumstances of this because there's no full footage, but you can see, like, the sand's moving there, so presumably he's coming quick.
	And it's like, no, no, no.
	I'm disgusted that the BBC presents this as being like, oh, they're disgusting Spaniards.
	How dare they do this?
	And then goes back to sleep as well, because the people working in Westminster.
	I'm disgusted that the BBC thinks that upholding law, order, and your national borders is not a positive thing.
	Awful.
	Awful people.
	So, just the fact that, you know, force is what enforces rules.
	Without force, you have no border.
	And the force here is this man saving Europe from having no border.
	Yeah.
	I mean, who knows what crimes this man has already committed?
	Who knows what crimes he would go on to commit?
	We don't know anything about him.
	Don't even know his name because, of course...
	That's a base take, John, but we're not going to read that out.
	But that's the thing.
	We know nothing about the guy, but now we're condemning the officer who's doing his job.
	Literally saving Europe here from having no borders.
	That's entirely his job.
	From an invading army of 8,000 men.
	Anyway, let's go to the next image.
	So the next image here is just something someone made, which we requested, and I thank you very much that you did make this.
	So it's Viva España, if we can get this up.
	So this is the border policy in Spain now.
	God, that's wonderful.
	North Sentinelese border policy, we salute you.
	Viva España!
	Oh, man.
	Consider yourselves learned.
	Very rarely do we get to praise the Spanish in England.
	There's not really much.
	We're usually too busy dunking on the French, but yeah, good chaps.
	Benvenido.
	Anyway, so if we go to the next one here, so just the hugging of the Sanderese migrants that we mentioned.
	So this is another image, so you can see it here.
	And it's, yeah, as you say, he's cringe.
	But Senegal, this chap's from.
	Senegal.
	I just love it.
	You know, what was your terrible oppression that you had to flee from?
	I just really wanted a job in Spain.
	Yeah, so if we go to the next one, it's just Freedom House because I don't know if it's Senegal.
	Let's just see how free Senegal is.
	They describe it in here.
	Senegal is one of Africa's most stable electoral democracies.
	It has undergone two peaceful transfers of power between rival parties since the year 2000.
	However, politically motivated prosecutions of opposition leaders and changes to the electoral laws have reduced the competitiveness of the opposition in recent years.
	I don't think that chap's a member of the opposition or an opposition leader.
	Just have a guess.
	I'm a refugee politician.
	Yeah.
	So, the country is known for its relatively independent media and free expression, though defamation laws continue to constrain press freedom.
	I don't think he's flaying that, either.
	Also, that sounds kind of based.
	Other ongoing challenges include corruption in government, weak rule of law, and inadequate protections for the rights of women and LGBT people.
	Well, those first two, that happened everywhere.
	And, okay, yeah, apparently it is illegal to be gay in Senegal, so maybe he's gay.
	In which case, if we just load the next map, you can see where Senegal is and where...
	Where Spain is over there, bloody miles away.
	So you could see below there, Guinea Bissau.
	You just go to the next one.
	Guinea Bissau.
	You could go there if you want.
	Being gay is legal there.
	How is it in Mauritania?
	Or Western Sahara?
	Or Morocco?
	Because you'd have to go through these three countries.
	Yes, exactly.
	So he decided to go for the three.
	So he's not gay.
	Or he went through the three most dangerous countries he could find to get to Spain.
	So it's just Gibb's job.
	That has to be the only motive.
	In which case, get lost.
	Get lost.
	You have no right to be here than anyone else.
	And if we're going to accept the premise that if someone wants Gibb's job, can be in Europe, well, congratulations!
	You've invited most of the planet.
	Is that what you want?
	No, of course not.
	So, sorry, if we go to the next one, which is just, if this could matter to you, so this is a lady here who, they went on holiday, and then when they got back to Calais, someone just got into her box.
	Again, someone from Sudan, so one of these chancers that has gone through several free countries, you know, non-war, and decided, nah, just Not a refugee.
	He's in France as well.
	And he's like, no, I want to go to Britain.
	Why?
	Give his job.
	A criminal, illegal immigrant smuggles himself in.
	Yeah, and this screws over British holidaymakers.
	The family drove through a holiday in Spain and found a migrant in their roof box and then were fined for bringing him back to the UK. Oh, God.
	Okay, yeah, that's just a cherry on top.
	Yeah, by the way, we're going to fine you for this.
	Yes, they were fine 200 quid.
	So, I mean, this is something in case you're wondering if you're British, yeah, this will affect you.
	We didn't want them there, you know.
	So, the next thing here, just going back to Britain, so the Sikh migrants that we spoke about.
	Oh, yes.
	Remember this?
	Remember, how could the Scottish government arrest these people on Eid, the Muslim holiday?
	They're brown, therefore they're Muslim.
	Not Muslim.
	They're Sikh.
	Don't care about Eid.
	But okay, SMP. Bunch of racists.
	You literally can't tell the difference, can you?
	They all look alike, don't they?
	Look, they're wearing turbans.
	They must be Muslims.
	Oh wait, Muslims don't wear turbans!
	Sorry.
	So both Sikhs originally from India were arrested on suspicion of immigration offences in Edinburgh, having lived there in the UK without leave to remain for 10 years.
	So they'd come over, their leave to remain had expired, and they just were like, meh, screw you.
	We're not going to go home.
	We're just going to break the law and live here illegally.
	I've got no sympathy.
	I'm sorry.
	No, not at all.
	I've met people like this, and I'm just like, you're awful.
	No, go and get the right to remain.
	It's that simple.
	You have no right to be here.
	Yeah, no, absolutely.
	Any illegal immigrant anywhere should be deported as soon as they are discovered to be an illegal immigrant.
	There's just no question of it.
	Go home.
	So one insider in the...
	Very quickly, there's in like a load of leftist Facebook groups I'm in, there's been a picture that's been going around in all of them where they're really offended because there was a bunch of illegal immigrants that were caught somewhere or other and Priti Patel was there at the arrest and they were like, I can't believe, why is she there watching?
	I'm like, maybe because she's based, I don't know.
	That's her fetish.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Maybe she gets off on it or maybe she's just, you know, having a photo opportunity showing that, look, we're doing the right thing.
	Yeah, but I also just love how she's smiling in all the images.
	There's something about it.
	Anyway, so one insider in the Home Office told the Times they will still be detained and deported at a later date.
	We will continue to tackle illegal immigration and the harm that it causes.
	Good.
	So they're still going to go after them.
	They just get lost.
	No amount of leftist objection will get around that, hopefully.
	In response, Scottish Justice Secretary Hamza Yusuf, the white man, has blamed the Home Office for its reckless action while First Minister Nicola Sturgeon attacked the appalling asylum and immigration policy.
	The policy here being sending illegals home.
	So they don't want Scotland to have any borders.
	We will rebuild Hadrian's Wall.
	We will force a border on Scotland.
	Unlike New Zealand, who have done base thing.
	So let's go to New Zealand.
	New Zealand to cut low-skilled immigration.
	Refocus on the wealthy.
	That's right.
	I'm a progressive.
	I love it.
	It's always the virtue thing.
	Get out, poor people!
	Get out!
	But for themselves, they're a completely different policy.
	You're not coming to our basically white ethnostate with your lack of money, lack of skills.
	Get out!
	So the last thing here is Biden's migration crisis as well.
	So this is just the newest data we have here.
	So if you can scroll down, there's a graph and you can see the blue line there being the highest one.
	That's the Biden administration coming into office in January and you're seeing the peak up there, bigger than anything else that has come previously.
	And...
	We know, as you have demonstrated, you asked them on the border why you're here.
	It's because of Biden.
	There's a change of administration.
	But if you scroll down some more, you can see the FY comparison by demographic at the bottom there.
	And you can see the big jump.
	The big jump there is not from the single minus.
	You can see that's pretty much going down over the years.
	The FMUA, so Family Migrant Unit of Aliens, so that's a family unit, that's gone down.
	It's adult singles.
	In your area.
	Sorry.
	It's the adult singles that are coming.
	Well, unfortunately they are going to be in your area if this carries on.
	So this is why you need a border policy, incidentally.
	It's just so basic as well, like why have you come because of Biden?
	Who's coming?
	It's a bunch of adult males who are single, because it's the same everywhere.
	Again, I stress...
	Adventurers.
	They're adventurers.
	That's exactly what it is.
	They think they're going to get something out of it.
	It'll be an exciting adventure.
	Who knows what will happen?
	It'll be fun.
	This is what young men sign up for.
	And they've always done this.
	From time immemorial, young men have always signed up to adventures.
	And it's always been this way, and it always will be this way.
	And this is just the modern manifestation of it.
	Because for some reason, the left is so unbelievably secure that they think that everyone else is just a good, kind soul.
	And, of course, it's not going to be my problem.
	I mean, I have these arguments with, like, leftists online.
	They're like, oh, well, we should definitely take in these refugees.
	And it's like, well, how many are you taking?
	What?
	None.
	It's like, well, there we go.
	Shut up.
	Or they'll be like, oh, well, we, the big, the royal we, are taking, like, 100,000 or whatever.
	It's like, no, we're not.
	You know, that's someone else's problem.
	It's not your problem.
	You live in Surrey, you know?
	I just wanted to end this with a message for the Conservative Party.
	You know that there's a lot of anger about the illegal immigration with the boats and whatnot.
	Send the military in.
	Just to send a message, if nothing else.
	Because messages work.
	The Danish learnt this the easy way of just saying we were going to do X, Y, and Z and then the migrants didn't come.
	And when the EU turns around and is like, oh, how could you do this?
	Point to Spain.
	Because they've already endorsed what Spain's doing.
	I thought you meant send the boats to the EU. But what about the migrants, you know?
	What are they going to say?
	What are they going to say?
	Oh, you can't do this.
	It's like, well, why is it happening in Spain?
	Spain's patrolling their borders.
	Why can't we patrol our own?
	Feel no guilt about this.
	It is the right thing to do.
	If you want a border, you have to use force.
	You'll have to use violence.
	Because without violence, there are no rules.
	And what's worse is, in Germany, when the migrant crisis was happening, Merkel brought them all in.
	Man, some of the stories you read, the statistics obviously went off the chart, and obviously these migrants just went around doing terrible things.
	Crimes just skyrocketed.
	But then when you read the individual cases, there's a real aspect of...
	Malice towards the crimes that are happening.
	It wasn't just like a crime of passion or something like this.
	Or in some cases, it wasn't like just, oh, it's a cultural confusion.
	In some cases, it seemed to really be like some of these migrants were being hateful, you know, really hateful.
	And I just can't stand it.
	So by having a secure border policy, you're protecting people from being victimized.
	That's what a secure border policy is for.
	And that's why it's good.
	Anyway.
	Very briefly, I guess, we've got 15 minutes, and we'll talk about the revolt of the comedians is happening, finally.
	I mean, it's only been that cancel culture and wokeness has been ruining comedy for the last, what, six years, seven years, something like this?
	But at least now the comedians are starting to wake up.
	So we'll go back chronologically backwards on this.
	Never mind cancel culture for the UK. It's the law.
	Oh, well, yeah, obviously.
	But...
	In America, where you have the First Amendment, you still have cancel culture because it's non-governmental.
	But anyway, so Chris Rock today, or probably yesterday, came out and said, well, cancel culture is creating an unfunny and boring source of materials from comedians.
	He was on the Breakfast Club radio show and he says, It's weird when you're a comedian because when you're a comedian, when the audience doesn't laugh, we get the message.
	You really don't have to cancel us because we get the message.
	They're not laughing.
	Our feelings hurt when we do something and people aren't laughing.
	We get it.
	I don't understand why people feel the need to go beyond that.
	You know what I mean?
	Honestly, to me, it's a disrespect.
	It's people disrespecting the audience.
	Like, oh, you think you know more than the audience.
	Well, these people definitely think they know more than the audience.
	The audience knows more than everyone, okay?
	But you know, hey, some things don't need to be said.
	Some people need to be looked out for, I definitely understand that, but not letting comedians work, you know, is what happens when everyone gets safe.
	When everyone gets safe, nobody tries anything, things get boring.
	Everyone's scared to make a move, said the person, oh no, said him, sorry.
	He carried on.
	That's not a place to be.
	You know, we should have the right to fail because failure is a part of art.
	Which is a great point, but he's sort of missing...
	There's a good surface point.
	But beneath that, you have the actual substance of it, and it's a vindictive mob on social media that are radically left-wing, have a really firm set of political orthodoxies, and are victimizing comedians that they think are...
	Breaking these boundaries.
	But these boundaries aren't something that people should have to adhere to because they weren't elected.
	No one, you know, there was no consensus to put these in place.
	This is just an angry mob on Twitter.
	It's no different, really, to a lynching.
	Anyway, so going back two weeks, Dave Chappelle said basically the same thing on Joe Rogan.
	Of course, Joe Rogan recently got in trouble saying all white men are going to be silenced.
	Yeah, well, that's what everyone's saying.
	It's not just Joe Rogan.
	But Dave Chappelle...
	The SJW is saying...
	The SJW is saying, yeah, we're going to silence white men.
	So Chappelle says, you know, I'm very lucky...
	When he was on Joe Rogan's podcast, incidentally, two weeks ago, I'm very lucky to be able to see people who are great up close, even on this podcast, blah, blah, blah.
	But artists and creators all struggle with these things and bellyache about decisions.
	I hope none of these people are contest winners.
	They all work very hard.
	I hope we all survive it.
	That's why Cancel Culture S bothers me.
	I'm not even opposed to the ideas behind some of these cancellations.
	I get it.
	And then Joe Rogan says, the inclination, all of it, is to make the world a better place, before adding that the power of social media and public shaming has gotten abused and misused by the wrong people, and bad actors, at the end of the day, think what they're trying to do is eliminate the bad aspects of our culture.
	Which, incidentally, is the moral reasoning for things like constitutional rights.
	The reason we have these rights, sure, you might have a dictator who's a wonderful dictator, like on Twitter, you know, Twitter dictator.
	He's a wonderful guy.
	He's benevolent.
	He goes around doing great things.
	But then he dies or is overthrown and is replaced by someone who is awful, who is evil, who goes around victimizing people, and that's what they're talking about.
	You know, it's all well and good saying, well, you know, they're trying to do good.
	Yeah, sure.
	Who cares?
	If they're hurting people in the process, you know, imagine something...
	I don't know, just a hero who tries to do good but constantly is killing people.
	It's like, well, okay, look, I appreciate the sentiment, but just stop.
	You know, just stop.
	And that's what they're getting to.
	I mean, I object to the idea that they're trying to do good.
	Well, me too, but, like, you know, these people are, you know, embedded in that kind of culture and so that's going to be the perspective that they have.
	Um...
	I think they're being very generous, but maybe they're kind of watching their words because, you know, how these things are going.
	But anyway, yeah, the point is, even Dave Chappelle's like, well, I hope we'll survive it.
	And he says, I'm not even opposed to the ideas behind them.
	So he admits that there is a set of ideas behind cancel culture, and it, of course, is wokeness.
	Let's carry on.
	Ricky Gervais, back in August 2020, said, you know, cancel culture is not good.
	Trying to get people fired because you don't like them is not cool.
	Everyone's got a different definition of cancel culture.
	If it's choosing not to watch a comedian because you don't like them, that's everyone's right.
	It's not cancel culture.
	But when people are trying to get someone fired because they don't like their opinion about something that's nothing to do with their job, that's what I call cancel culture, and that's not cool.
	And that's right.
	And it's not just being fired, it's obviously being deplatformed from various...
	Social media, from any kind of other, you know, back-end things, you know, getting a bank account eventually deleted like Trump got.
	You know, all of these things are part of cancel culture, basically erasing them from the public space.
	This is not acceptable, and at least someone has come out and said something.
	Again, you know, all of these massive big-name comedians are saying, look, cancel culture is ruining comedy.
	Maybe it's time to believe them.
	Who else is going to have a better own knowledge about this than these massive major comedians?
	I mean, special praise to Ricky Gervais, because he's been solid throughout this.
	He has.
	He backed Dank when this first happened, and he was one of the very few that did.
	Him and David Baddiel were the only notable comedians I could think of that had actually come out and said this.
	A load of the left-wing comedians rounded on Dank and were just saying, you're a bad person, you're a bad person, and abusing him on Twitter.
	But, of course, Dank lives to that kind of thing, so he enjoyed it.
	But this, again, it's no secret that it is left-wing ideology behind this.
	He says, I did a tweet a few months ago about freedom of speech, quoting Winston Churchill.
	Someone came back with, you know he was a white supremacist.
	Don't care.
	Well, A, don't care, but B, what political affiliation is saying that?
	It's not the Conservatives saying that.
	You know, it's not even the Maoists saying that.
	You know, it's the woke leftist idiots saying that on Twitter.
	And so we know that this is a product of wokeism.
	They're the only people who give a damn about white supremacy, because no one else defines it in the same way they do.
	But anyway, yeah, so at least Ricky Gervais was basically like, look, you're allowed to have things in common with bad people as long as they're not the bad things.
	I'm a vegetarian, and I love dogs, like Hitler.
	But the only thing I have in common with Hitler are the good bits.
	Ricky Gervais, Hitler had good bits.
	Obviously, he's not endorsing Hitler, and this is a fair point.
	It's just, they're going to take this the wrong way.
	But that's the point.
	It's a little trap for them to fall in and go, look how stupid they are.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But of course, you can see it's the wokest.
	And this can continue back to, say, 2015 with Jerry Seinfeld.
	He's been incredibly firm on this for years, and...
	This was, like, you know, what, six years ago now?
	Nearly seven years?
	Oh, yeah, six years ago.
	Where he had said that political correctness is destroying comedy.
	Again, it's not that we don't know what the source of this is.
	It's consistently the same ideology, the same type of people, using social media in exactly the same way.
	So this isn't new.
	It's continued.
	And now literally all of the comedians in America, like the big-name comedians, it's hard to think of a big-name comedian who is not, like, on Saturday Night Live, right?
	Just like an independent big-name comedian.
	So like, you know, Joe Rogan, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, those sort of, you know, big-name comedians.
	You know, Bill Burr, all of those.
	They're all against wokeness and cancel culture.
	You know, it's only the corporate ones, like the John Olivers, the, well, you know, the Saturday Night Live type hosts.
	Stephen Colbert.
	Yeah, Stephen Colbert and, you know, the...
	Trevor Noah.
	Yeah, and one of the really unfunny ones, Jimmy Kimmel.
	Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel.
	I love how that came to mind instantly.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He never told a joke in his life, basically.
	But you've got the corporately owned comedians who have their regular TV shows.
	They all agree with Wokeless.
	They all agree with cancer culture.
	They're completely controlled.
	And then you've got the, like, independent ones who are like, this is cancer.
	Why is this happening?
	It's also just the corporate nature of it.
	Like, you watch Bill Burr or you watch, you know, people doing stand-up like that.
	Yeah.
	And it's very much funny to everyone, but as a British person, there's a weirdness in the corporate comedy side, where you watch them giving jokes.
	Like, American comedy is strange at the best time to foreigners, but when you see them with their setups, where it's all very standardized, and the joke is essentially the same joke, done repeatedly, of just, like, make some ridiculous political statement, and then really unfunny, sort of, like, basic bitch observations.
	Yeah, or in some ways it's often a deflection, right?
	So they'll, Trump said, you know, something, but they'll fixate on something irrelevant about what he said and then blow that up into the story, you know.
	He said this, like the Rudy Giuliani stuff, right?
	Rudy Giuliani is saying that X happened with the election.
	Okay, well, is that relevant?
	No, I don't know, but he had hair dye here.
	Oh, let's talk about the hair dye, the hair dye, the hair dye.
	But anyway, Seinfeld in 2015 had said, And he asks, does this climate worry you now?
	And he says, well, I don't play colleges.
	I hear a lot of people tell me don't go near colleges.
	They're so PC. My daughter is 14.
	My wife says to her, well, you know, in the next couple of years, I think maybe you're going to want to hang out around in the city more on the weekend so you can see boys.
	And his daughter replies, that's sexist.
	Yes, I suppose it is.
	I mean, if that's how you view it.
	Young women probably want to hang out with young boys.
	They just want to use these words, that's racist, that's sexist, that's prejudice.
	They don't even know what they're talking about.
	Does it hurt comedy?
	He's asked.
	Yes, it does.
	He answered, seriously.
	To me, it's anti-comedy.
	It's more about PC nonsense.
	So again, there's absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind here, I think, that of course this is about wokeness.
	And so we can go very quickly, because we're running out of time, to the woke response, which is them saying, yeah, cancel culture's good and we like it.
	So these are transgender comedians.
	When they're not denying it.
	Yeah, no, they're not denying it.
	So they sit there beginning by, well, I mean, what is cancel culture?
	What is it?
	I mean, in this Guardian article, they're like, the stock leftist routine of it doesn't exist.
	Yeah.
	By the way, it does, and it's good.
	Yeah, it doesn't exist, but I'm for it.
	You know, it's like, okay.
	So, you know, they say, well, it's notoriously hard to define, which it's not, right?
	It's a mob of ideologically possessed activists on social media that harass venues and companies in order to deplatform people they view as problematic.
	End of story.
	Easy definition.
	Not hard.
	But anyway, yeah.
	So they claim, oh, there's no such thing.
	And they get, like, a comedy historian, as if such a thing ever needed to exist, called Cliff Nesteroff, who says the phrase cancel culture is useless.
	It lumps everything together, dismissing valid and invalid concerns.
	It's not.
	And then they're like, oh, well, you know, they're saying that someone with a Netflix special like Dave Chappelle is claiming to have been cancelled.
	No, Dave Chappelle is not claiming to have been cancelled.
	Joe Rogan is not claiming to have been silenced.
	This was when Joe Rogan was like, well, they're going to silence all white men.
	They were like, oh, you're a white man, you just got 100 million to talk.
	He didn't say I was being silenced.
	He said in the future, if we go along like this, you will silence white men because they're white.
	And all of you just had a deliberate misinterpretation and bad faith about this and saying, oh, you just got paid loads to talk.
	Yeah, he does.
	But eventually, he won't.
	Anyway.
	So, yeah, so anyway, we've got various other complaints from them going, white men are getting all this money to talk.
	I'm not even just white men, in fact, just men are getting all this money.
	And I deserve some of that money because I suck.
	They're getting money for being funny.
	I should get money for being unfunny.
	Yeah, no, no, that's exactly what they're saying, right?
	And it literally is...
	But then, then they get to a bit in this article, which is amazing, right?
	So they sit there going, well, you know, Chappelle can't complain.
	Shane Gillis was fired from SNL after his jokes on podcasts were deemed racist.
	Louis C.K. lost the Netflix special and movie distribution for his behavior with women.
	It's like, right, so actual examples of cancel culture.
	So cancel culture doesn't exist, and they're for it, and it's happening, but it's not happening.
	Sophie Connell, a trans comedian from Baltimore, said, but they've never given an award to the new Comedian of the Year to a woman, which is translating to give me an award, and some trans comics defend cancel culture, at least to a degree.
	Well, how can they do that if it doesn't exist?
	Sorry, I've really got to stop using the term trans comedy and transgender, sorry, trans comedian, because it sounds like it's half comedy, half torture or something.
	Not that it's a trans person doing comedy, but instead it's like, yeah, it's trans comedy, it's part comedy, but then we start killing you.
	It's like...
	Which is probably a fairly accurate description, actually.
	But some trans comics defend cancel culture, at least to a degree.
	How do they do that if it doesn't exist?
	I never once say that cancel culture is toxic because it's a tool of resistance for so many people who don't have any powers as D'Lo, a trans comedian and actor.
	So I would like to weaponize cancel culture in order to deplatform some of my competition.
	Why would I want that?
	Well, of course, that's going to open up the avenues for me, and perhaps I can advance, because I couldn't do it on merit.
	So I would like to resist their success and gain some of my own.
	It's a way of climbing the ladder.
	A trans comedian and actor as well.
	He's mostly an actor, but he sometimes has comedy.
	It's sort of like you're saying he's unfunny.
	Well, I mean, that is actually what everyone is saying to these people by not buying their things.
	A trans comedian and plumber.
	But then we get Katie Chatou, the executive director for the Center for Media and Social Impact at the American University.
	I've never even heard of this.
	If cancel culture means that comedians who have traditionally held all the cultural power in our society...
	What, black men?
	Like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle?
	Are we talking about this?
	I don't know.
	But if they can no longer use their comedy to dehumanize people, I think that's a social corrective.
	Who cares?
	Can we cancel this person?
	If you're pro-cancel culture, we're allowed to cancel you, Katie.
	Is that okay?
	Would you be upset if we canceled you just because we find your desire to deplatform a deplatformable offense?
	Would you find that bad?
	Would that be a corrective?
	Exactly.
	That would be a social corrective, in fact.
	What a horrible phrase.
	It sounds like something that they would have had in a camp in Mao's China.
	White heterosexual men are not the only ones who get the full spotlight in comedy anymore.
	So shut up, Dave Chappelle.
	Shut up, Seinfeld.
	Look at all these white heterosexual men who are getting deplatformed.
	It's mad.
	Like, it's all these ethnic minorities that are, like, comedians and funny because, not because they're black, but because they're funny.
	But anyway, they're not going to get the full spotlight.
	People are saying, we're not going to accept your rape jokes or your misogynistic jokes or your racist jokes, and we're really interested in hearing a broad array of diverse lived experiences.
	Yeah, who is saying this?
	Who goes to a comedy club for that?
	I want to hear a broad range of social perspectives.
	Let's go to a comedy club.
	No, I want to see something funny.
	Let's go to a comedy club.
	But it's all about justifying the lynching mob on social media.
	That's what it's about.
	And it's just like, well, there we go.
	So there is cancel culture against white men.
	Explicitly so.
	We don't want white men, white heterosexual men.
	They're going to get canceled.
	Joe Rogan was right.
	There was more, but we've run out of time, so I'll leave it there.
	But basically, to summarize, the people at the very bottom of the totem pole, the losers who are not funny and not famous, are jealous of those funny and famous people and want them cancelled to clear the way.
	End of story.
	And John asks, how does me speaking stop you listening to something else?
	Well, it's because the audience are not...
	There's only so much time in the day that the audience can watch comedy, and they'd like to watch comedy that made them laugh.
	And the inclusive comedy isn't funny.
	They'd like to watch comedians, not people who identify as comedians.
	Not activists, yeah.
	No, no, no, come on, right.
	Okay, let's go on.
	We've got the video comments.
	Yeah.
	So we've got loads of these apparently today.
	So we've established that the Beatles suck.
	What music do you like?
	Not the Beatles.
	See, if I commit to a position, then people are like, yeah, but that sucks.
	I'm behind it.
	Belinda Carlisle, fight me.
	You've seen my playlists.
	Yeah?
	Yeah, based.
	Just trying to make sure all the questions about that stay on you.
	I was just wondering if Sargon misses the days of Anita Sarkeesian.
	I remember back in Romania we had some annoying, you know, feminists, but not as annoying as the American variety of feminists.
	I also remember in Romania nobody wanted to get rid of me because we were all Romanian.
	But now I hop into a live stream and everyone wants to kick the gypsy.
	That's a very good impression.
	You need to get the word misogyny in there, the way he says it.
	Misogyny!
	Like something like that.
	Racismos.
	I love these little, like...
	Because it debases the conversation.
	Absolutely, it's brilliant.
	It's like, oh, racismos!
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, I guess I do, actually, if you look back.
	Life was just so much simpler when the platforms weren't like, right, okay, we're just going to have to start shooting people because the progressives on Twitter are giving us hell.
	You know, sorry, Stephen Crowder.
	You know, sorry, Ben Shapiro.
	Well, he's probably all right, actually.
	But, yeah.
	Good evening, Carl and Callum, or whatever time it is for you in Red Coat Land.
	This is a semi-serious question, but it's going to come out really funny.
	Who do you think did worse for Britain?
	Tony Blair or literally the Luftwaffe?
	Because, I mean, at least the Luftwaffe had the common decency to lose.
	I mean, at least the Luftwaffe weren't actually trying to destroy Britain.
	They just wanted to defeat us in a war.
	No, they wanted to destroy Britain afterwards.
	No, I don't agree.
	I think there's probably going to have been conciliatory concessions and surrender, right?
	A surrender of a country isn't the destruction of a country.
	No, but that wasn't the plan for the Nazis.
	Like, if they had actually got total capitulation, they would have changed us irrevocably.
	But Tony Blair did get total capitulation.
	Yes, he did.
	And he changed us irrevocably.
	Plus, I mean, when the Luftwaffe bombed us, we were just like, nah, screw you, and then built Britain back brick by brick, just as it had been.
	Just with all the same stupid roads and the same stupid ways that doesn't help anyone driving.
	Apart from Coventry Cathedral.
	Yeah, that's cool.
	Which was left bombed out.
	That's actually kind of cool.
	Have you seen it with the benches?
	Oh, I went to university there.
	Yeah, you can sit down and just see the whole place.
	Yeah.
	Awesome.
	Afternoon, gentlemen.
	As we gaze across the sea of multiracial faces that gleefully advocate for cultural diversity, I can't help but notice the lack of appreciation for European cultural diversity, presumably our similar melanin count being some ill of which we can't speak.
	But now Western academics have rammed into the empty-headed noggins of the university attending ilk a horrid concoction of Western oppression and collective white guilt, and to atone for their sins they adopt white saviorism, and tell the downshort and colored folks that without the benevolent white man bowing down they will never amount to anything.
	So I'd like to ask this arrogant lot a question.
	If all of Western civilization is terrible, if there is nothing worth salvaging in any way of its histories, what on earth gives them the idea that they are so uniquely equipped to come to every minority's rescue?
	That's a great question.
	Oh, and P.S. Those in the comments section that wanted to know, do I do a podcast or audiobooks?
	I do, actually, so if there's anything in particular you'd like to hear, do feel free to hit me up on Discord, or go and check out the sub-stack that I started yesterday.
	Links in the video for both.
	Cheers, gents!
	That's a good question.
	They will argue that they are sufficiently self-abased.
	They have shed their oppressive colonialist ways, and they have bowed down at the feet of literally everyone else.
	And by the way, Europe doesn't even have culture, so what are you talking about?
	White people have no culture.
	I mean, you hear it from Americans, and they forget that anywhere outside of their borders exist.
	There's leftists who say this.
	But it isn't even true for America.
	It's never true.
	White American culture is vastly diverse and also very rich.
	It is wonderful to live in it.
	I don't think there is such a thing as a people not having a culture.
	I don't think it's possible.
	No, no.
	Culture is just the term we use to describe the cumulative social expressions of what a group of people do.
	And the character of this is how we frame their culture.
	I mean, you could destroy culture.
	You can evacuate a people's culture.
	I don't think you could do it totally, but you could...
	You can destroy a culture, but something always replaces it, right?
	So, like, say the...
	I'm thinking of Brave New World, like if you destroyed all writing.
	Yeah, but then you still have the culture of the people in Brave New World, right?
	I mean, if you were to, like, drop people from Brave New World into, watch our book club, by the way, into a conversation, you would be very aware that they're from a foreign culture.
	In fact, they're from the Brave New World culture.
	Not quite what I mean.
	I'm saying if you were to go for a totalitarian system in which you purposely went for this goal, for God knows what reason, to destroy all culture.
	So you wouldn't build Brave New World's culture, but you purposely tried to destroy it.
	You'd have to prevent human activity.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but then, like, that would itself become their culture.
	Their culture is to not...
	To be empty shells.
	To be empty shells.
	But the point is, any amount of human activity is a culture, and therefore you can't have a people without a culture.
	Even if it's a culture of destruction, that's still a culture.
	Orcs, orcs, orcs.
	Right, next one.
	You have been deceived by a false god.
	He literally has the results.
	You drop the sugar, you become a better and healthier person.
	God rejects Keto Sharia.
	Shame.
	Cringe.
	Shame.
	Shame.
	So based.
	shame shame shame shame that is so basically chad pilled Oh.
	I bled on that bread as well.
	Even the bread's like, don't eat me.
	Because, you know, it's like the hard crust, so when I bled into it, it just cut my mouth, and I was just like, oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	The bread takes us revenge, I'm telling you, man.
	The bread taketh.
	Anyway.
	Hi guys, I was wondering if I could just send in a ton of Mormon Jihad videos and then you release them one a day in the order that I send them in?
	And second question, seeing as the Democrats are bringing in a ton of illegal immigrants and making it legal for them to vote, I was wondering why aren't we running ads to show peaceful protest areas and democratically controlled cities and what happens versus Republican controlled cities?
	Well, Trump did do this, actually.
	Yeah, I don't know why the Republicans aren't doing this on a daily basis.
	Well, they did.
	I mean, that was part of Trump's campaign.
	No, but it should be a long-running cultural campaign that the Republicans should have.
	Literally, in every Republican city, it's like, this is a picture of a Democrat city.
	If you want this here, vote Democrat.
	And then do it in the Democrat cities.
	This is your city on this date.
	If you don't want this, vote Republican.
	This should just be a constant rolling propaganda feed that the Republicans play.
	Look, we are for law and order and stability.
	They are for rioting, looting, and murder.
	Sure.
	Because it's true.
	I don't know if they have the money for that, that's all.
	But don't send us endless Mormon jihad videos.
	It wouldn't work in the system anyway.
	One a day is fine.
	Kentaro Miura, the creator of one of my favorite works of fiction, Berserk, apparently died on May 6th of an aortic dissection, which essentially means that his heart exploded.
	It's a good reminder that the night is long, or is it dark, and full of terrors.
	Anything could kill us at any time, and we need to make use of what limited time we have.
	Memento mori, right?
	I have been putting off creating my own works of art, my own stories.
	I feel like I have a long way to go, but we have such limited time, it's time to stop wasting it for me.
	Oh, Cosine.
	Completely agree.
	Well, F's in chat.
	I don't know who the chap is, though.
	I've seen people posting about him.
	Apparently he makes a comic called Berserk and he died recently and everyone's very sad about it because they really like the comic and it's always sad when someone of talent dies, of course.
	Yeah.
	I've found a way to make you hate bread more, Carl.
	If that's possible.
	It's French.
	Only joking.
	I don't actually speak French.
	That would be gay.
	Someone's going to clip that.
	I always look forward to the familiar names and faces in the comments, both video and written.
	That oil guy, I hope you get well soon.
	Also, just interestingly, my dad is like the only completely based member of my family.
	Some others have like some kind of lockdown scepticism and stuff like that, but I mean my dad came, he's very well read and he has his degree and stuff like that, but he He came to the conclusion about the thick concepts and the problems of universalisation on his own.
	It's very interesting that he would come to that and it's almost the same as what you guys said in your premium podcast.
	So it's very interesting.
	Disgusting.
	Yeah, well, at least I don't have a Beatles poster behind me.
	By the time I'm done, their name's going to be Mud.
	But no, I mean...
	Don't speak French, that would be gay.
	So good in a Scottish accent as well.
	Just makes me think of that, what is it, the Ugandan, why are you gay?
	Why are you gay?
	Bonjour.
	Why are you French?
	But you know, I agree with Jack.
	I really like...
	Well, the French is gay or...
	Well, obviously, but primarily it's nice to have the sort of communal aspect of the podcast.
	You get people running jokes and things like that.
	In jokes.
	I like it.
	It's always nice to see the familiar faces.
	I'm so proud of this community.
	yes hello carl sorry about the wind i really enjoyed your podcast so i thought i'd put you down to like this thud So when you describe the small coastal island off Cornwall you think exactly this is what you meant.
	About 30 miles to the east is the Great Flat Lode which was the largest tin deposit in the known world.
	Interestingly the Cornish name for this island is I think I could hear that.
	Someone pointed out as well, in fact a lot of people pointed out in the Pythias podcast, that myself and Beau didn't know what they meant by an area of the ocean that's just filled with seaweed, and we found that hard to understand.
	But apparently, in the mid-Atlantic, there's a confluence of currents that creates this massive web of, I can't remember what it's called now, this massive area, because the currents are always swirling around, loads of seaweed gathers, and now, in modern times, loads of plastic waste is gathered.
	But, you know, in pre-modern times, massive mats of seaweed would just be in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
	And the thing is, that's quite far out as well.
	Like, you know, it's clearly, you know, probably a thousand miles off the coast.
	So, you know, in the case, this guy went a very long way and then, I guess, went north from there.
	So, who knows how far he'd actually got.
	But, yeah, no, really appreciate that people filled us in on that, because I don't know anything about...
	Seaweed in the Atlantic.
	But apparently it's Saragossa or something.
	Sea.
	Saragossa.
	Yeah, people are typing in chat.
	Saragossa.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, I didn't know anything about that, so thank you very much.
	Have you ever heard the story of, it's always, probably, the story about how Jesus went to Britain?
	Well, what, from the song Jerusalem?
	No, from the tin in Cornwall.
	Oh, no.
	Because he was a carpenter.
	Probably bull.
	Probably.
	Just probably.
	Probably, yes.
	Definitely.
	Without a doubt.
	No, no, there is an argument for it.
	I can't remember who did it.
	I think it was someone on, like, you know, QI or something.
	They explain that, no, it is physically possible, because in the time he goes missing, like the Bible, that he could become a carpenter and then go on one of the ship journeys to get tin from England, but it's probably bull.
	Obviously.
	Like, there are also stories that he may have been in India.
	Yeah, I mean, it's physically possible that he could have gone to India, but there's just no way.
	There's actual motives for him to go and get the tin, because the tin's worth a lot of money.
	Why would he personally get the tin?
	Well, someone had to go get the bloody tin.
	There was a trade network.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Someone's got to work on it.
	Yeah, but there was an ancient trade network of local people passing tin down until it gets to wherever in the Mediterranean.
	Yeah, so anyway, I'm not advocating it.
	I think it's probably nonsense.
	The people from the Mediterranean didn't know where the tin actually came from.
	They just heard that it came from an island off the northwest coast of Europe.
	They didn't know because they didn't go there because it was a very long way.
	And Pythias was the first guy to go.
	But anyway, let's go to the next one.
	G'day Lotus Eaters.
	First things first, yes Callum, they're real and they're spectacular.
	And I am here at Melbourne Supernova.
	I've just gotten set up and I'm going to be selling my awesome books.
	You can see them there.
	I've got those coming in and I'm also going to be selling this t-shirt.
	And if you guys haven't set up your merch store yet, let me know because I built mine from scratch and I'd be happy to share my source code.
	See you next time.
	I'd appreciate the offer.
	And he does have just amazing teeth, doesn't he?
	Can't, can't, can't...
	Can't hold him, man.
	Good teeth.
	Take care of them.
	Something that should be out of the dadism, really.
	Brush your teeth.
	Oh yeah, good point.
	Brush your teeth.
	Then you know, Jordan Peterson.
	Yeah.
	And I... No, no, but I'm...
	Bring your room, brush your teeth.
	There we go.
	Well, it's not even that.
	Go to bed by eight.
	That's literally what I do every night, except by 7, because my son's only 6.
	But every night I'm the toothbrush patrol.
	He has to go and brush his teeth, and we've got a little timer, so he's got a minute that he has to brush for, and everything.
	You set rules when you're a dad.
	That's good.
	I like it.
	Hey, fellas.
	I've gotten a bit over the fact that I keep hearing people on the show talking badly about anime, which is something I love, and you should remember that Japan is one of the few places where the media are not going woke, and so you really should be enjoying anime.
	I can think of some classic ones that I've watched.
	I'm 43, and I've been watching anime for a very, very long time, since I was a little kid, frankly.
	So here's just a quick rundown off the top of my head of some anime, which I think is well worth your while, and you should be watching it.
	So let's see...
	So Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Robotech, Macross, Bubblegum Crisis, Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Knights of Cydonia, Wings of Hominays, all the Ghibli movies like Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle...
	Well, et cetera, et cetera.
	Kiki's Delivery Service.
	More newer ones, things like Little Witch Academia, Log Horizon, Re-Zero, the first season of Attack on Titan, but I know other people like the rest of it, I don't.
	Demon Slayer.
	And, of course, for your boy, Connor Suba, just because Kazuma is an extremely chad young man.
	All right, that's it.
	There's a lot more.
	Okay, I disavow all of that.
	Hey, is that all?
	I'm just teasing, by the way.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Hey, guys.
	Feeling a little better.
	I managed to hijack the urology department's day room and stream the podcast to it for all the guys.
	That was pretty good.
	Typically, my doctor has given me some dietary choices.
	Veganism.
	Yeah, so I guess I'm going keto.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	It's inevitable.
	Hey guys, I just wanted to talk a little bit about Israel's Iron Dome.
	I think a lot of people misunderstand what its actual purpose is.
	If it was just a matter of destroying incoming rockets from Gaza, the Israelis have access to a lot of American and British tech.
	They have General Dynamics phalanx systems more than capable of destroying those rockets without any problems at all.
	The issue is, shooting down those rockets would cause them to fall either into Gaza or into Israel, causing damage.
	The amazing thing about the Iron Dome is not that it intercepts the rockets, it's that when they detonate, they destroy the incoming rocket, And the Iron Dome missile itself in such a way is that there isn't shrapnel and debris that falls, injuring people below.
	Yeah, so that's really why it's so expensive.
	Also what a lot of people don't realise is that we've been tracking these rockets, nearly 4,000 have been fired now, and by Britain's own count we estimate 700 to 800 of those rockets fired from Gaza have landed within Gaza itself.
	So I just wanted to clear some of that out.
	That's a really interesting military point there.
	Iron Dome Mark II get the missiles to change the missiles' trajectory, because they don't have targeting systems, so all land in Gaza.
	And once you've got 99% of the Gazan missiles landing back in Gaza, surely they're going to stop.
	Maybe, but I think the real...
	It's really embarrassing.
	We're going to launch more missiles.
	You're just bombing us, you idiots.
	Well, yeah, but they do that already.
	But that's the thing, if you make it 99%.
	But I think the real important question here is, what percentage of those missiles are funded by BreadTube directly?
	When I looked it up, I don't know how reliable the statistic was, but it was $300 to $500 a missile.
	Right, so, okay, we'll do the calculations and get back to everyone on Monday, just how many missiles BreadTube has been funding.
	Let's go to the next one.
	As the greatest modern philosopher, as the only modern philosopher, I believe it is time to answer the age of question of whether or not water is wet.
	If I have followed the discussion correctly, there are those who argue that water makes other things wet but is unable to do the same to itself because water is just water.
	In a way, I see it as an attempt to describe objective reality by focusing solely on a singular aspect or a trait of a particular thing.
	Thus, it is really no different to a socialist making the argument that what distinguishes a member of the bourgeoisie from the proletariat is simply whether or not one happens to own property of some kind.
	In my opinion, it is a very flawed and error-prone way of trying to make sense of the world, and it will produce dangerous mistakes, if believed wholeheartedly.
	For example, being wet is not the sole property or function of water.
	If the water temperature is cold enough, the water will turn into ice, which will be cold to human touch and rather slippery if stepped upon.
	If water temperature is hot enough, any contact with it, with human skin, will not produce a sensation of wetness of any kind, as a boiling hot water simply inflicts first, second or third degree burns.
	So if one truly wishes to understand the nature of water, one has to accept that water has certain properties and qualities under specific conditions.
	The sensation of wetness is something inherent to the physical nature of water itself.
	And even if human beings would lose the ability to sense wetness, This physical property of water will still remain just the same.
	Therefore, water is wet.
	And any argument otherwise is nothing more than cultural Marxist subversion.
	Be better.
	Well, I think I can refute that because what we describe as being wet is the Event or occurrence of a thing having water on it.
	I don't think we're speaking to a specific actual property or texture or sensation.
	I think we are describing objectively an aspect of reality, and I guess we could call this the linguistic argument, not the sensory argument.
	But, you know, I might write something like this, because I find it really interesting, because there are threads that you can go through.
	Cold feels wet, that's fair.
	I don't agree that wet's necessarily a feeling.
	I think that something can be wet even if there was no one to experience it at all.
	So if water falls on a pile of rocks, then the rocks are wet, even if the rocks feel nothing and there's no one to observe it.
	We would still, from the universal conception, describe it as being wet.
	Fight me.
	Was that the last video, John?
	Great.
	I don't ever want to hear this argument again.
	Well, let me talk to you about light.
	No.
	Jesus Christ, I'm going to kill myself.
	How about we define avuncular?
	As someone who's kindly done, in the comments Alex has kindly done, kind and friendly towards younger or less experienced person having uncle-like qualities.
	I'd never heard that word before.
	Um...
	To add some info to Sueta, says Ignacio, it appears that some of the kids and teens that salted the border were bussed from the schools under the impression there was going to be a football match on Sueta and the border was open for that.
	Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Morocco and the idiotic government wants to take 2,000 of those kids slash teens.
	So the Moroccan government is actually bussing kids to Spanish territory, lying to them about what's going on in order to presumably breach the border through guilt.
	Also, if...
	I can't remember how you say his name, but that chap there, the Spanish one.
	Ignatius.
	If you could translate...
	I saw a bunch of people sharing an Arabic cartoon that's apparently been published in Morocco by state media mocking Spain with a bull with its horns cut off.
	But it's got Arabic writing on and I couldn't find an English translation.
	So I presume the Spanish media is translated into Spanish.
	If you could tell us what that meant, I'd love to hear.
	Right.
	I'm just going to go through a couple of these because we don't have much time.
	No, Edward of Woodstock.
	No, you don't understand.
	I was an utter tit and staked my entire life in breaking in here.
	Sorry, bud, but you bet on the wrong horse.
	You should have stayed with your family and looked to make a better life where you came from.
	We gave up our empire.
	It's not our job to fix the world anymore.
	The UK is enough.
	Hell, England is enough.
	Who'd want anything else?
	I love the way you came from as well.
	In the instance of Mohammed, it was over there.
	Yeah.
	Like, that's how close...
	Morocco is there.
	Go back.
	Yeah, I mean, what do you think you're going to find in Spain that's not in Morocco, resource-wise?
	Carl, you asked whether men in Spain were to defend their homes against the violent migrants rampaging through the streets.
	Your answer is in how the press represents the situation.
	It reflects the feminization of Western nations.
	The feminization emphasizes misguided compassion and kindness that results in the inane photos of women hugging migrants and feeding them with spoons.
	Yeah, again, it's embarrassing, because the guy, he's just sat on this rock.
	I mean, maybe he's been for a run or something, but he's not, like, laying out, like, oh, I can't move.
	He's just sat there...
	Probably quite tired or something.
	He could easily lift the bottle to his mouth.
	With the baby in the water as well.
	Oh, God, I know.
	It's ridiculous.
	She was spawned above it and dropped it.
	It's ridiculous.
	But, yeah, I mean, I agree.
	This is definitely the sort of feminization of society that we're seeing here.
	And we are definitely presenting a masculinized view of this.
	So, yeah, focus on masculine virtues and all this changes for the better.
	Yeah, it does.
	How many babies do you have to chuck in the sea to get a job in Spain, Carl 2021?
	Well, that's the question the Moroccans are asking.
	Maybe it's a mistranslation of throwing donkeys off roos or something.
	Josh says, what gets me with the comedians is like how you have people like Frankie Boyle moaning about Ricky Gervais making trans jokes when Frankie has made jokes about suicide and Harvey Price.
	Where was the line then, Frankie?
	Yeah, Frankie Boyle's history as a comedian was hilarious and the most offensive thing you've ever heard.
	And for him to be on his high horse going, well, don't punch down.
	Sorry, do you want to make some more jokes about Down syndrome kids?
	Frankie, is that what you want to do?
	Do you want everyone to shut up so you can tease Katie Price about her Down Syndrome kid?
	I've got rape jokes about them to tell.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And he did.
	He told a rape joke about this Down Syndrome kid.
	And I'm not someone who's been like, oh, you can't say that, Frankie.
	That's not very PC. But Frankie Boyle is that kind of person.
	And so when he starts flagellating himself in the street, maybe I'll pay attention to his moralizing on the subject.
	The real Bigfoot says, dude, don't do a podcast about me.
	Not cool.
	I don't even exist.
	Look, I'm building my stack of evidence.
	Stack of blurry footage.
	Sure!
	It's a form of evidence.
	It's not very good evidence, but it's a form of evidence.
	To be honest, I still think the strongest thing there is the ones you've got where they have huge norks.
	It's just like, why?
	Who would make a Bigfoot costume with massive boobs?
	Massive hairy boobs.
	People who live in the mountains are weird people.
	I guess they are.
	Now, you don't even know who you're talking about, but you're saying, these weirdos did this.
	They can't possibly be.
	I'm just triggering you because I know it's funny.
	I knew you were going to get mad at that.
	These poor backwards mountain folks with their Bigfoot costumes of massive norks.
	I will defend them.
	I will come to your defence, folks.
	I love the idea that if you go to Alaska, you know how you get grants sometimes for working in terrible places like Northern Norway?
	That's the grant from the US government.
	Here, have this costume with huge norks.
	Christopher says, I can confirm that keto does not cure multiple sclerosis, because the other chap yesterday claimed that he'd cured his.
	I'm not a doctor, I'm not going to say either way, but it did help me push past five stone lost.
	That's amazing.
	Losing five stone for the Americans...
	I don't know.
	Can you look up stone to pound conversion?
	And that's a lot.
	It's probably like 60, 70 pounds.
	70 pounds.
	There we go.
	So that's huge.
	Well done, Christopher.
	That's amazing.
	Six stone off now and pushing to increase the weight so I can lift.
	Dude, that's amazing.
	And last one, very quickly.
	No, that's asked me to discuss things, so I'm not going to read that one.
	All right, boys, you heard Carl yesterday.
	Start spreading the rumor that the purple stripe and the rainbow flag is the super straight one.
	Let's see how long it takes them to remove the purple from the flag.
	Side quest, could we rinse and repeat the process until the entire flag is listed as a hate symbol by the ADL, and nobody can accurately explain why?
	Yeah, there's got to be some way of implying that the colours are somehow anti-Semitic.
	That'll definitely trigger the ADL. People are saying in the chat about the term Norx.
	Funny story about this.
	There's a video game in which North Korea ends up invading America.
	In the video game, the developers, I think, are American or Canadian.
	And they come up with a slur for the North Koreans.
	They can't think of anything, so they go with Norks.
	So as a British person, your player's like, man, the Norks are around here.
	Anyway, that's enough from us.
	You're not going to be back on Monday because Carl's going on holiday for another week.
	He's going off with the missus, so just to let people know.
	But otherwise, go check out the premium content we have.
	We're going to be uploading content as we get it done.
	The 1984 Book Club, the Percy Parker interview, so on and so forth.
	New epochs, there's loads of stuff.
	But otherwise, we'll be back on Monday, 1 o'clock.
	If you want more content, go to Logistics.com.
	Thank you very much, and we will see you on Monday.
