Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 24th of June 2021.
I'm joined by Josh.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about how McAfee has been Epsteined, pretty clearly.
I'm not suicidal and then dies.
Hmm.
By suicide.
Also, Biden is demanding that we refund the police.
Who could have seen this coming?
I mean, it's just embarrassing with BLM. This is just defund the police, massive crime wave, loads of people dying, refund the police.
I mean, it's so predictable.
Anyway, so also the critical race theory...
Can I say the B word?
Is that a swear word or not?
The female dog.
Bitch.
Yeah, we'll just, okay, we'll go with, yeah, bitch fight.
It's a bitch fight, because these two commentators decide to have a bitch fight, and it's really funny to look at, and I think we'll enjoy it.
Anyway, so, first things to mention is the new video that Carl's done the other day, which was about the quiet unraveling of the English civilization, so with respect especially to Magna Carta, and the fact the lockdowns have violated Article 39, which I took good care to try and make sure I found in the original land.
Anyway...
But going without a watch, it's on lotuseaters.com or the YouTube channel, lotuseaters.com.
Use the words to find the YouTube channel for that one.
And it's worthwhile, so go and watch that.
Also, the book club we've been mentioning, the Neither Right Nor Left book club.
I forget how you say the guy's name, because foreign name.
Difficult.
Mr.
Sternhelm.
There we go.
Let's go with that one.
So, Mr.
Right Nor Left.
This book is about the origins of fascism, and it just demonstrably proves the point that the liberals and the conservatives have been making forever, which is the fascists, Are just socialists.
They are just socialists with the mask off.
They say it themselves.
That is where fascism comes from.
It is the origins of it.
It is why they are such good bedfellows with each other.
And it's just beyond demonstrable.
So it was really fun to do.
That's going up at 3pm.
So after this podcast, go and check that out.
I believe that's premium, so you've got to sign up to the website for that.
But please do, because it keeps the show going and all the rest of it.
Also, last thing to mention is please don't re-upload video comments.
If you're a premium member who's, I think it's gold tier, get to upload video comments to the show.
If you've sent one, usually we've got it.
Vicky's got it.
If you upload multiple, then, you know, she has to go through and it wastes her time having to redo the same thing.
So please just send the, you know, the first one.
We'll get it.
Don't worry.
Also, Zoom call for gold tier members.
So on Friday at 4pm, we'll be doing a Zoom call with all gold tier members because it's just fun.
Me and Carl will just hang out here and just take questions and chill for an hour, which is always good fun.
So please come and join us.
Without further ado, let's get right into it.
So, McAfee getting Epstein'd.
Yeah, you have a personal fascination with McAfee, don't you?
I do indeed.
He's a very interesting character.
I mean, he was actually...
I was only thinking a few days ago, if I had to interview someone, it would have probably been him.
And then a few days later, he turns out to have committed suicide.
Yeah, so...
Yeah, go on.
But the first thing here is just a little bit of a background.
So, I mean, you know more about him as a person than I do.
I've just done some really very, you know, timelining of this.
So the first thing is in 2012, where this all sort of starts to crumble, is him getting suspected in a murder in Belize.
So this is after he moves to Belize, after making billions of dollars selling the McAfee software, I think it was to Intel, and then enjoying life like a good man.
I mean, if we scroll down here, just the first image...
Yep.
That's a hell of a life.
You can see him in the middle there with his top off.
The guys around him with guns and the ladies and dogs.
Yeah, alright.
So, in here they say, among the exotic episodes surrounding his career is in 2012, the death of his neighbour in Belize, where McAfee lived surrounded by dogs, guards and young women.
The neighbour died of a shot to the head, and when the police wanted to question the founder of the antivirus company to ask him if he knew what happened, he fled, claiming that the authorities would charge him with the crime or even kill him if they caught him.
I mean, not great luck to flee, but his accusation being that the cops would kill him.
I think he was, I don't know whether it's valid or not, he was worried that the authorities were out to get him because of some kind of persecution with some other unrelated thing, and he just thought that he would catch the rap anyway just because they wanted him gone.
So I read elsewhere that apparently leading up to this, the Belizean gang suppression unit had raided his house beforehand, and they found unlicensed drug manufacturing and possession of unlicensed weapons, which I believe.
There's no reason not to believe that.
I think even he would own up to that.
Yeah.
I also read that he claimed that they've seized his property there, at least after this, and they also tried to burn down his house, but I don't know the details of that.
I know that in the actual murder itself, leading up to that, I think his neighbour actually shot his dog or something like that as well, which kind of further suggested that it was him, but he denied it until the grave, so I don't know.
Obviously not taking him at his word, but there's certainly cause to believe that he was involved, but I don't know the full story.
It wasn't proved, so no evidence of it so far.
Anyway, but the guy is an absolute meme lord.
I mean, not just in his life.
I mean, the videos he made online, so this, in case people haven't seen it, is How to Uninstall McAfee Antivirus by John McAfee.
And he says in here that he hasn't been with the company for like 15 years, and he just doesn't know how to screw it.
And then just gets surrounded by women and drugs and guns for the rest of the video.
So let's play this first clip, in case people haven't seen it.
You know, something went wrong.
15 years ago I had some beautiful software and they took it over.
I don't know what they did.
It was like the time I hired that Bangkok prostitute.
To do my taxes while I f*** my accountant, it was terrible.
The same f*** thing is going on now.
But I know what to do.
I know exactly what to do.
Believe me, I've got a fucking solution right here.
I just love it.
Like, billionaire, what does he do?
Should we post on the internet?
Why not?
That video's great.
Fantastic.
I just love it.
So, the subsequent situation that's made everyone a bit suspicious about all this is he kept posting tweets and messages about how he believed he was going to be killed by the authorities.
You know, that's a similar way to Epstein, in the fact that you just suicide yourself.
So, this is the oldest tweet on this subject.
So, in June 9th, he says...
June 9th, 2019.
I've collected files on corruption in governments.
For the first time, I'm naming names and specifics.
I'll begin with a corrupt CIA agent and two...
Bahamian officials.
Bahamian.
Coming today, if I'm arrested or disappeared, 31 plus terabytes of incriminating data will be released to the press.
So, I guess we're looking for the 31 terabytes.
It's a lot of data.
Anyway, the next message from him that's a bit suspicious is him getting the word whacked, tattooed on his arm.
Like, just, okay.
And the explanation he gives, if you scroll back up there, is, if you scroll back up there, there's the message from him in which he says, getting subtle messages from US officials saying, in effect, we're coming for you, McAfee.
We're going to kill yourself.
I got a tattoo today just in case.
If I suicide myself, I didn't.
I was whacked.
Check my right arm.
Yeah, I mean, that casts a whole different light on what has just happened.
I'm assuming this is in response to Epstein's whacking, and then him being like, well, if I go the same way, I'm going to make sure people know that it's not suicide.
So we go to the next link.
This is a Facebook post in which he made a video talking about exactly this.
So if we play the next clip, this is him talking here.
The audio's a bit bad, but hopefully you'll hear.
If I am suicidal, then this will be the final word right here.
I will not suicide myself.
So if I have been, the truth is right here on my right arm, unless they cut it off after I've suicided myself.
And there you have it.
Yeah, so him saying explicitly, I'm putting this on my arm, because in case I suicide myself, it wasn't suicide.
Check my arm.
Hmm.
So then there's the next tweet here, in October 2020.
I am content in here.
I have friends.
The food is good, all is well.
Know that if I hang myself a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine.
This is him after being arrested for tax evasion, for crypto trading, and apparently the sales of his biography.
The IRS were complaining that they didn't get enough skips from all that.
So, he got arrested, he got sent to prison in Spain, pending discussions about extracting him to the US. And he's saying, I'm fine.
Food's good.
I'm going to go to prison.
It's alright.
It's not great.
But if I Epstein myself, I was Epsteined.
I didn't Epstein myself.
Yeah, I think the fact he's repeatedly said it again and again kind of suggests that he had no intention of killing himself.
I think that much is pretty evident.
I don't know whether his situation changed, but I'm kind of erring on the side of maybe not So on the 10th of June this year, there's another message, which is also, I think, relevant to this discussion.
So him saying, There is much sorrow in prison, disguised as hostility.
The sorrow is plainly visible even in the most angry faces.
I'm old and content with food and a bed, but for the young prison is a horror, a reflection of the minds of those who convinced them.
Conceived them.
So he's saying, yeah, I'm fine.
Food and a bed, I can deal with that.
Other people, probably horrible.
But this is the 10th of June.
This is this year, him saying this.
And then the next one here is from the 16th of June.
There should be a pinned tweet there in which he's...
Have I got it wrong?
No, okay, sorry.
15th of June, he's in court, the YouTube link.
Him saying to the court officials that if you send me to America, I'm going to be sent there for the rest of my life.
You know, he's 75 years old.
Therefore, this is the worst thing you can do to me.
Please don't do it.
And this is the only piece of evidence so far I've seen that points to his suicide being just suicide, which is him in this courtroom is having to translate to the judge.
And you can tell he's a bit exacerbated.
But I mean, with his other tweets, it's difficult.
But he is saying, you know, if I get sent to the US, that's the worst thing that could possibly happen to me.
So then he pins a tweet the next day on 16th of June.
And this is his pinned tweet on his account.
The US believes I have hidden crypto.
I wish I did, but it has been dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee.
your belief is not required and my many remaining assets are all seized my friends evaporated through fear of association I have nothing yet I regret nothing so I mean when you live a heck of a life like that guy I mean why not But he's saying I've got no money.
He doesn't take from me.
And then on the 20th of June, he retweets a message from Janice McAvee, in which she's thanking him and giving him a happy Father's Day, even though he's in prison.
And she says in here, Now the US authorities are determined to have John die in prison to make an example of him for speaking out against the corruption within their government agencies.
These eight months John has spent in prison in Spain have been especially hard on his overall health, both mentally and physically, as well as financially.
But he is undeterred from continuing to speak truth to power.
Happy Father's Day, John David.
So, wishing in the bed.
But there's two bits of that.
She's saying that they're convinced to have him die in prison.
But she's also saying that there's a huge hit on his mental health from all this.
So it's not like there's zero evidence for the claim that he could have just committed suicide.
But with all those tweets and all those messages and the tattoos and whatnot, certainly very, very suspicious.
And it'd be silly to say that, oh no, it's just suicide.
I know that this letter could be construed as the fact that, you know, he's 75 and they're saying, well, he could die in prison.
It just means that he's going to be in there for a long time rather than they're going to kill him.
To kind of play devil's advocate there.
Yeah.
So the next link is the Spanish press reporting that, yeah, committed suicide in there.
So this is in Spanish.
I've had to run it through Google Translate because I don't understand.
Sunken Armada.
So they say: "The founder of McAfee antivirus, John McAfee, commits suicide in a Barcelona prison after court agrees to extradite him.
The businessman was arrested at the El Prat Airport last October and was awaiting extradition to the United States for tax evasion.
Prison officials have found him hanging, according to police sources, who say they treat the event as suicide." Found him hanging.
They don't say "what on".
I presume like the bed sheets like Epstein or whatever the hell, you know, that took place.
I don't think he's on a suicide watch list.
You know, they have a separate area for suicidal prisoners in which different conditions, so they can't kill themselves, which Epstein was on, and they committed suicide.
I don't know if they moved him to that area.
It doesn't seem they did.
So, God knows.
But we're waiting on the autopsy.
I'm surprised that if he were actually to kill himself, why he would do it in Spain, maybe there would be opportunity to kind of hamper the process because it seemed like an ongoing legal process to extradite him to the US. You would expect him to at least wait out until he gets into the US if he were to do something like that.
Because at least then there's a chance that he could get out.
It's not a foregone conclusion.
So it's kind of like, hmm...
I would have thought someone like him as well, when they got to the US and they have the trial, he'd make a complete meme out of it, because why not?
Yeah, well, make a scene out of it, and also, if he's got all of this damaging stuff, surely a trial would be the perfect time for it.
Just like, well, actually I've got all this bad stuff about public officials.
Or just stand in the dock and they'd be like, you're guilty of tax evasion.
He's like, tax is theft!
Just shout at the judge.
I mean, why not?
I mean, he's a libertarian candidate for president back in the day, so...
Yeah.
So they say, pending the autopsy, the police have not found any evidence of criminality.
The Department of Justice assures that, quote, everything indicates that it could be a death by suicide.
The businessman has been incarcerated at the Catalan prison for eight months.
So, I mean, that's the other piece of evidence that's somewhat compelling to the fact that he's just suicide.
It's been for eight months.
It's no short period of time.
Been locked in there.
They say that he's had a huge impact on his mental health and he's about to be extradited to the US in which he says he will be in prison forever.
you know, for the rest of his life until he dies, because he's like 75.
They're all there, but at the same time he's publicly saying repeatedly, "I'm not going to commit suicide, I'm not going to commit suicide, anyone who, you know, kills me and tries to claim that I've committed suicide, don't believe them, you know, I've got the tattoo, I'm not committing suicide." Yeah, I actually remember him saying in an interview, like, "If I ever disappear, it's not actually my choice."
And just my, like, personal opinion, obviously I'm not a clinical psychologist, just like a regular psychologist, but I didn't get the impression that he was someone who kind of has the frame of mind to commit suicide.
Obviously I'm certainly no expert, but I just didn't get that impression from him, just...
Hearing him talk.
Sure things change, but you can kind of get a judge of someone's character.
Did you see the clip of him talking to the Spanish judge as well?
Laying out, you know, if you send me to the US, I'm going to die in prison.
Because it's not particularly emotional either.
Like, he's not making out, like, oh, I'm going to die.
It's, you know, so awful.
It's saying it matter-of-fact.
Him being straight as he is, just like, yeah, if you send me that, I'm going to die.
Don't do that.
You know, I'm going to end up rotting away in prison for ages.
It's not the...
He doesn't look like someone who's giving up on life or anything like that.
And this is the couple of days before he apparently commits suicide.
Hmm.
The only other piece of evidence for him definitely being legit is his lawyer is saying that it was suicide.
So, in the case of Epstein, there are immediately a bunch of questions from the people on, you know...
Well, actually, from Epstein's side and against Epstein's side being like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
Because it made no goddamn sense.
And in this case, the lawyer for McAfee is saying it was...
So McCarthy's lawyer, Javier Villabada, I don't know, said that the antivirus software pioneer died by hanging as his nine months in prison brought him to despair.
So his lawyer saying that, yeah, his mental health had just gone to that point.
He is tired of being in prison.
I imagine to kind of an old libertarian as well, being in prison is probably one of the worst things that could happen to you, especially when you've had the life that he has had.
Of extreme freedom.
Exactly.
I mean, that's in the chat.
I mean, you don't have to agree with the girl on a lot of stuff.
You have to appreciate the life he's lived, at least.
Like, just not giving a toss.
Yeah, he definitely lived his life on his own terms.
That's the one thing you can take away.
The only other thing about this that's really, really strange is the Q. So, this is Mike Rothschild here, posting that John McAfee's final Instagram post.
A giant Q. The post went up around 1.15 PST, meaning he was likely already dead.
But he or someone on his team knew exactly what to do to achieve maximum shitposting effect.
So just his Instagram account posting the letter Q. And then it got destroyed.
His Instagram account is deleted.
Presumably because I think QAnon posting is bad there now.
I think that's all we can really say about that.
Yeah.
Although I do love the idea that...
So the evidence so far, I mean, all the things in there for him to have actually killed himself do seem to be there.
A reasonable reason.
He's been there for nine months.
It's horrible for a guy like him.
All the rest of it.
There's reasons for him to commit suicide.
And there's the means.
Surely he's not in a suicide prevention area like Epstein was.
So I wonder whether or not there is a little bit of that kind of thing, trolling going on from his team, posting that queue.
But at the same time, with so many Facebook and Twitter posts being like, I'm not going to do it.
I'm never going to do it.
I'm never going to commit suicide.
And if I do, they've done it to me.
Yeah.
People who say that repeatedly and emphatically don't go out and then commit suicide, do they?
I think you can take them at their word.
Maybe at the time.
Unless he's like the highest IQ troll of all time.
And he's like, I'm going to do these posts over a series of years to make it show that...
So then when I actually do it, in two years' time, then it'll have maximum effect.
But, nah.
Don't buy that.
Yeah, I find that a bit hard to believe as well.
But there's no other real information on it at the moment.
We're kind of waiting for results, but if it is the case, I mean, I've seen Brett Weinstein's been posting about this, and he's like, look, this is ridiculous.
One of the things that was interesting for him as well was he had a message from John McAfee on his Twitter account.
John McAfee messaged him about Epstein, being like, you know, this is ridiculous.
I was like...
Well, that's strange, isn't it?
Well, I'm looking forward to...
Didn't he mention that he's going to release this huge dossier of files?
Yeah, I guess.
And unless he's bluffing, then...
Yeah, I look forward to 31 terabytes of information.
I'm not going through 31 terabytes.
Take all of us for weeks on end, I imagine, wouldn't it?
Anyway, that's basically all that.
So I wanted to talk about how Biden has mentioned about increasing police funding to levels well above what Trump had already kind of proposed, which is probably a surprise to many Black Lives Matter supporters, which is a great thing, really.
But I just wanted to talk about the actual problem itself, because crime in the United States at the minute is probably at the highest it's been in the past.
I don't know.
20-30 years.
So if we have a look at the picture here in this tweet, you can see that in Atlanta, for example, homicides up 58% from, this is 2020 figures, so from 2019.
Shootings up 40%.
In Portland, it's 533% for homicides, but of course, there were very few, so it's gone from like 1% to 8%.
So since all of our souls have been saved by BLM and repenting against whiteness, homicides have increased massively.
Yeah, and you've got things like New York City, 13% increase in homicides, 64% increase in shootings.
LA, 22% increase in homicides, 51% in shootings.
So that's like double and over double in some cases.
And in places like New York and LA, it was already relatively high.
And Chicago as well, where it's gone up 5% and the shootings up 20%.
That's not a small amount.
It's already a maximum anyway.
I mean, a small booth there is huge.
I know.
So it's obviously a huge issue and one that Biden clearly can't avoid because the crime rate going up this high when he's been the president now for about six months, it looks really bad on him.
Fundamentally, it's the cause of BLM and leftists across America calling for defunding the police and also just go out and commit terrorism.
I mean, that's their stance.
I mean, Portland, the best example there.
And you can label this, specifically Portland, at his feet and the Democratic Party's feet, I think.
Absolutely, yeah.
Of their response to Antifa calling it a myth, saying that that's just a myth in Washington, doesn't really take place, when we've got the footage of them attacking the government buildings in Portland, and then saying that Donald Trump trying to send in the police to put down these kind of homicides, that's stormtroopers, that's him being evil.
No, that's him saving lives.
Yeah, exactly.
I think the people of Portland have been betrayed by their elected officials because people like Ted Wheeler, who were kind of trying to get along with the Antifa and the Black Lives Matter.
Can you really say they're betrayed when they re-elect him, you know?
Well, even so, it's still not in their interest, even if they're voting for it.
Like, having a really high murder rate and having criminality on a daily basis is not good for anyone, other than maybe criminals.
A bunch of these other cities, I might agree, but in a specific situation of Portland, it's almost like you get what you deserve, in the instance of voters of Portland.
I think there are probably a lot of people that really don't like it, though.
And I feel very bad for them.
I remember seeing interviews with citizens and stuff like that, and they're like, yeah, it's awful.
What's happened to this lovely city?
That sort of thing.
And you know, also makes the fair point, there was no Republican candidate.
So who you're going to vote for anyway?
Yeah, you've got no alternative, really, do you?
It was him or the Maoist lady.
Yes.
Ted Wheeler or Chairwoman Mao.
I know which one I would have to pick there, begrudgingly.
But either way, national scale.
Thanks, BLM. Yeah, so supposedly it's been getting even worse.
So for the first quarter of this year, homicides were up 24% from 2020's already inflated figures.
And also it was up 50% from 2019.
So in two years, the homicide rate has doubled.
This isn't negligible, this is massive and a huge problem.
And although, you know, it's still half of that from the early 1990s, you still don't want to return to that sort of thing.
Yeah, homicide's bad.
Yes.
I hate to have this controversial position, but homicides are bad.
But I mean, you know when we made the meme shirts for the old store, in which we had to elect more Democrats, and it was just pictures of cars being burnt and people rioting?
Yeah, but it's actually real.
Like, demonstrably so.
I mean, the massive increase in homicides.
This is your fault.
Your policies.
And of course, the fall in actual police numbers is a massive thing as well.
And something I want to highlight that has kind of gone under the radar a little bit is lots of instances of the police being treated pretty poorly by elected officials.
And it's...
A good example is Portland's police, their kind of riot response unit, has completely disbanded after they all walked out after one of their members was prosecuted for something which just seemed ridiculous.
So I wanted to go through this quickly just to show why police are really demoralised by, rightly so I think, By their elected officials.
So all 50 members of the Portland Police Bureau's Rapid Response Team stepped down, and I've got an article about this on the website actually, after their colleague called Corey Budsworth was given a misdemeanour for an alleged assault on a rioter on the 18th of August 2020.
And something that really annoyed me actually is that the corporate press were saying that this person was a photographer And they really clearly weren't.
There was an anti-file member being arrested by another police officer.
They went over and interfered with the arrest.
And then...
This is all going on on the 75th consecutive night of rioting as well.
So these people have been out every day trying to stop Antifa and Black Lives Matter from burning things down.
And coincidentally, they had actually set fire to the Multnomah building, which is like a government administration building.
and there was a whole Molotov cocktail that had gone off, and they were trying to clear the area for the fire service to come in and put out the fire.
And while that was going on, they arrested some people.
And when this so-called photographer, who was really an anti-fire activist, interfered with someone being arrested, Budworth actually intervened by kind of baton pushing them.
So it's like the minimal amount of force you could possibly use with a baton, where you're just pushing people away.
You're not hitting them with it.
It's nothing like that.
He's just pushing her away and trying to keep her away from the officer conducting the arrest and then she fell over and he's trying to keep her on the ground to stop her interfering and as she went up he did like another push and accidentally hit her on the head but at the same time she was interfering with a police arrest and like a gentle bump on the head is the least of what you can expect when you're trying to do something like that.
And he was given a misdemeanor assault charge, which led to the entire people resigning.
So he did the bare minimum.
He did his job, and that's him getting punished for it.
So I mean, right on them for resigning.
Yeah, right on them for resigning, exactly.
And there is also a case of people coming across something that I think is...
Something you might say, you get what you deserve, but even so, this is really bad.
So there was a person who...
A counsellor who...
Defunded the police and there was an incident where he had his car stolen and was nearly dragged down an entire block while trying to stop them from stealing it.
So the Atlanta City Councillor Antonio Brown was dragged for a block by his car whilst he prevented a gang of youths from trying to steal his car.
However, earlier in the year he actually voted to withhold 73 million dollars from the Atlanta police budget.
And I know what you're thinking, but you know...
Same thing happened in Portland.
I don't know if you know about the councilwoman there.
So she was the one who was voting for defunding the police.
She was blaming all of the violence on white supremacists who had infiltrated our peaceful protest.
A complete nutjob.
And then she got carjacked and she was like, please help me.
Why is no one helping me?
I'm a councilwoman, don't you know?
Oh, it's insufferable.
But yeah, the thieves were actually children aged between the age of 6 and 12 as well, which makes it even worse, really.
I couldn't have imagined at six years old carrying out a carjacking Well, you weren't ambitious enough, were you?
Apparently not.
Oh, God.
So, he's done more than tried to defund the police.
He's also supported the creation of the Public Safety Commissioner position and non-emergency response units to deal with mental health calls.
So it's the community support rather than police stance that is just ridiculous.
Obviously, you need people to deal with violent criminals and diverting resources to...
People like that isn't helpful, but he's currently under federal indictment being accused of various different forms of fraud, so he's not exactly a particularly nice guy if defunding the police didn't already tell you that.
But I still don't think he deserves to have his car stolen and be dragged along the street.
Yeah, but I do wonder if he deserves to be called a pro-homicide advocate at this point.
I think that's fair enough, because that is the result of what has happened, right?
I mean, what are you guys?
You're pro-homicide advocates.
That's all you do.
You want the homicide rate to go up, as has already happened.
That's all that's going to happen, and it did.
And it will just keep happening if you keep advocating this.
Yeah, and it's a bit worse than that as well because the police numbers are actually dropping off.
So in Louisville, supposedly the police force have described themselves as being in dire straits amid loads of police walkouts.
So this is where I believe Breonna Taylor was shot originally, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Supposedly in 2020 190 police officers left the city's department and then again already in 2021 another 43 have left which means that the department's critically understaffed at the minute and of course this is not good for anyone that lives there that doesn't want to live in an anarchic criminal hellhole.
Sure but if your police officer would just stay?
No, I don't blame them for leaving.
I think if I were in their position, I would do the same thing too, because you're putting yourself in danger for the state to criminalise you.
And that's just ridiculous, yeah.
If the police act outside of the law, sure, they should be prosecuted, all the rest of it.
But if they're acting within the law and constantly being harassed by the ruling party, let's say, locally and at a federal level, and the activists on the ground endlessly, the job.
I mean, why would you stay?
It's not worth the money.
I'm amazed that there are still people that work for the police and, I mean, fair enough to them that they're sticking through it because if they weren't doing it, then it would just be chaos.
So Biden's solution, of course, is to increase police funding, which was obviously a huge surprise.
I didn't expect this considering how he surrounded himself.
With loads of defund the police people in his administration.
To be fair, this has happened on everything else, though.
He's also realised Trump was right about everything else, so why not this?
So, I can look at it that way.
It's just like, yeah, okay, I suppose he's going to be pushing for America first within the next two months.
Because he realised that's also the right thing to do.
It is strange that Biden's just done a quiet continuation of all of Trump's policies.
They're trying to make him out as this terrible guy.
Only some of them so far.
I suppose the education where they're promoting critical race theory and stuff like that is perhaps not.
On everything else bad, but on the few main things about Trump's candidacy, he seems to have come around on, let's say, just looking at the reality of it, so the border wall.
But at the same time, you've also got the number of people getting to the border spiking like a rocket, and that's his fault.
It's entirely his fault.
Yeah, well, he was saying it's safe to come here and then had to backtrack, didn't he?
So, yeah, absolutely.
So he's said that the COVID funding, or 350 billion of it, would be available to local governments to divert towards police funding, which would be well above the funding pre-pandemic and in kind of Trump's presidency as well.
So not only refund the police, but fund them more than they were?
It was exponentially more, if the local government wanted to.
That's amazing.
He's not necessarily forced it upon them, but he's saying...
He's dangling the carrot, being like, yeah, you know those homicides our party caused?
I have the solution if you want it.
But if you want to continue the homicides, go for it.
My kind of understanding might be that he's kind of hitting the ball out of his court.
He's like, well, we've offered the funding, so any kind of crime and homicides, it's local government's fault.
And also, if they defund the police, that's also their fault.
Exactly.
So you can placate everyone there and be like, I've got nothing to do, I've got no responsibility in all of this.
So, it's a somewhat savvy political move, but, I mean, at least the funding is there now.
And whether it's used or not...
Yeah, but if your local government's wrong with Democrats, move.
Too bad.
You don't get the money.
I don't know.
I think there will be more U-turns because people aren't going to re-elect people when they can just look outside and be like, yeah, it's chaos.
I don't want to be murdered.
It doesn't matter about politics.
I want to be able to feel safe walking down the street and not have a gun pointed in my face.
Okay, in marginal areas, I agree that that may be the case, but if it's in a solid Democrat area, like, you know, 60-70% Democrats as some of these areas have been, I reckon they will just bulldoze through it.
They just won't care.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm just too optimistic, but I think people will change their tune when they actually realise, wow, defunding the police is actually pretty bad.
I mean, it is common sense to most normal people, but clearly they're not normal people and they need to realise this.
So some of the other interesting things that Biden has mentioned is that he wants to crack down on illegal firearms dealers, which, I mean, is perfectly fine.
I think people would rather have legally registered guns on the street rather than ones that are untraceable.
What are you making that face for?
I agree, but the libertarian part of me is being like, no, write down guns, write down guns.
But, like, convicted murderer has a gun, I don't think.
Yeah, yeah, guns should be regulated, but I don't like it.
I know what you mean, yeah.
I mean, we're going to get to, I think, his statement on F-15s in a minute, aren't we?
Yeah, we are.
So yeah, he says, when talking about Second Amendment rights, he says that you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons to take on the government.
Yeah.
So Biden is advocating, start your nuclear programs.
Well, no, those should also be legal.
Those should be readily available to the American public.
It is their right, as given in the Constitution, to own suitcase nukes and also F-15s if they want them.
I don't think that was quite what he was going for, but that's how I want to interpret it.
Look, the second amendment is there to overthrow a tyrannical government, and Biden's like, yeah, well, to do that, you need an F-16 and a nuke.
Well, then it is the people's right to own an F-16 and a nuke, my buddy.
I imagine governments would listen to the people a lot more if you actually had nuclear weapons, just like, yes, well, you carry out our demands, or...
I suppose, I mean, what is it, the non-proliferation treaty was only signed by governments, not individuals, so my signature's not on there.
Make every nuclear program I want.
But his rationale for talking about the F-15s and the nuclear weapons is that he says there's always been some ability to rationally limit the types of weapons you can and can't own.
He uses the example of how when the Second Amendment was written you couldn't own a cannon.
You could.
I don't know whether it's true or not, but that's what he said.
A crowd has done great series on this, which is like some merchant came to, I think it was like Thomas Jefferson, and was like, hey buddy, I know you've written the Second Amendment, I have a ship, I'm scared of pirates, can I have cannons on my vessel?
And he was just like, go for it.
Like, I don't care.
You know, shall not be infringed.
That's the correct response.
And Biden talking BS there.
So, F-15s.
Shall not be infringed.
Have your F-15.
I mean, people do own tanks in America.
I don't know why you can't.
I mean, there's a lot of loopholes to get there, and those loopholes are BS. Everyone should own a tank.
It's your civic duty to own an F-15.
That's...
The Republican Party platform.
All citizens have compulsory jets.
So, as you can imagine, Black Lives Matter types are not too happy about this, and Black Lives Matter were already relatively upset with Biden.
About the bombing or the refunding of police?
Well, just Biden in general, apparently.
So they say Biden's first 100 days are up in 10 days.
This was from the 20th of April, so they weren't getting it wrong.
But they said by then we need him to end 1033, which transfers military equipment into the hands of police officers across the country, including schools and campus police.
Another example, the military you see out on the streets ahead of the Chauvin verdict.
So this was obviously pre-Chauvin verdict.
And then if you scroll down below there, Biden is currently sending more military equipment to our neighbourhoods than Trump did.
You read that right.
Our communities are being terrorised at a greater rate than they had been under Trump.
And it's only gotten worse by their point of view.
Terrorised by law and order.
Like Antifa come out and bomb the local courthouse with an IED. Throw explosives at police officers, blind them, throw molotovs at them.
And you're like, yeah, then the cops turn up with their clubs.
They're the ones terrorising the neighbourhood, are they?
Sure.
And the Republican reaction to this is, of course, to point out Biden's hypocrisy.
not that it's really going to have any impact i mean it's going to fall on deaf ears but i wanted to go through um what senator kennedy who is a republican said um he had an interview with sean hannity about biden's recent decision he says well sean i listened to the president's press conference today and there were times when i was confused uh he says let me speak substance
I don't hate anyone, but whoever is advising the President on crime, and I don't know who it is, but whoever it is, his Secret Service name ought to be Butthead.
I mean, why has Chicago become the world's largest outdoor shooting range?
Why is it safer to walk down the street of Mogadishu than New York City?
Crime is not up, as the President seems to indicate today, because of inadequate background checks.
Crime is up because many, not all, but many members of the President's own party believe in defunding the police.
And he's 100% right there.
It's obviously because of the treatment of the police.
Because of this skyrocketing crime rate.
I'm doubly laughing because of the idea of an advisor on crime.
Like, yeah, Biden, you can rob this store and that stuff.
Don't think it's how we can commit crimes.
I'm the advisor on crime.
It's BLM. That's who it is.
And he continued to say in many cities they've done it.
Crime is up because many members of the president's own party want him to turn cops into social workers.
Crime is up because many members of the president's own party think that all cops are racist, including apparently the African-American police officers.
Crime is up because many members of the president's own party think that when a cop shoots a criminal, it's always the cop's fault.
But when a criminal shoots a cop, it's always the gun's fault.
And he is 100% right.
Actually, it's not entirely true though, because when a criminal shoots a cop, as we saw with Claudia Webb, sometimes it's also the white man's fault.
Even if a black man shot the cop who's also black, it doesn't matter, white man did this.
I mean, white people are so dastardly, even when an innocent black man shoots a police officer, I mean, they've got their hand in everything.
Yeah.
Well, it's literally the American leftist version of race socialism, which one could call it, is exactly what the Germans used with race socialism and Hitlerism, in which you have the Aryans versus the non-Aryans, the Jews being the bad guys, and in the case of the US leftists, you've got whites versus non-whites, and the whitest are the bad guys.
They're the bad guys here.
I have to wonder, because it's literally the same, it's like, you know how the Nazis would talk about Jews like they're in everything?
Like, that's the white man.
It's like, the black guy shoots black guy, white man did this.
For Tree Falls in a Forest, which white man did it?
Yeah, essentially.
Anyway, I had a little bit more to go over, but I don't think I've got the time.
So you've got something to say about Critical Race Theory?
No, no, it's okay.
Why do you need a great big tome?
Because we're talking about critical race theory, so I need the critical race theory book.
Well, that's probably what I need.
Ugh.
Anyway.
Not touching that.
I need to wash my hands.
So, there's been a bit of a critical race theory bitch fight going on.
So the different media outlets are actually fighting about this because, of course, the parents are rising up against critical race theory in schools.
And the response from the right is, do more of it.
And the response from the left is, let's play word games and try and get out of this because we look bad promoting segregation.
So first thing is I want to start with this book, Critical Race Theory, edited by Kimberley Crenshaw, one of the people very much behind this.
The person who came up with the concept of intersectionality within lore as well.
And some quotes that Carl's been highlighting in here, which I think are extremely relevant.
So they say the critical race theorists.
This mainstream civil rights discourse on race relations was constructed this way partly as a defense against the more radical ideologies of racial liberation presented by the black nationalists and black consciousness movements of the 60s and the early 70s.
In the construction of racism as an irrational and backwards bias of believing that someone's race is important, the American cultural mainstream neatly linked the black left to the white racist right.
According to this, quickly concealed consensus because race consciousness characterized both white supremacists and black nationalists both as racists.
So the liberal tradition was...
Made sure by the civil rights movement, if you were arguing for racial consciousness, then you would be seen as a racist.
They correctly identify that, yes, the liberals and conservatives think all of you are racists who are trying to promote racial consciousness.
With its explicit embrace of race consciousness, Critical Race Theory aims to re-examine the terms by which race and racism have been negotiated in American consciousness.
And to recover and revitalize the traditional, sorry, the radical tradition of race consciousness among African Americans and other peoples of color, a tradition that was discarded when integration, assimilation, and the idea of colorblindness became the official norms of the racial enlightenment.
Right, so their words, they are literally like, we need to raise racial consciousness, which all of America considers racist, particularly the civil rights movement considered racist, and also the modern concept of we should be assimilating people, you know, we should be desegregating, all the rest of that.
Those people think we're racist for doing this, and yes we are.
We are the ones trying to raise racial consciousness.
I mean, if you don't want a better summation of why these people are bad people, they're trying to enforce in law racial segregation, we'll get to it in a minute.
The first essay written in here, the founder of critical race theory in law, is a guy called Derrick Bell.
His first essay is him arguing against Brown in Brown v Board of Education.
He's arguing with the segregationists that desegregation was bad for the black population.
It's absurd.
Why would anyone want to argue that?
Well, other than being a critical race theorist, of course.
That's the thing.
These people are absolutely nuts.
So, to get into the story, the B-fight, so this is the segment from Tucker Carlson in which he had a guy called Chris Rufo on, who's been attacking critical race theory throughout the country, and he's had a bit of a fight with a lady named Joy Reid.
And Joy Reid is a leftist who believes in all this, and therefore, I presume, believes in segregation, actually.
So let's play the first clip of her saying that if you oppose such things, if you oppose segregation, you're the racist folks.
We've seen a growing movement to reframe how American history is taught in public schools.
Well, some parents who are opposed to critical race theory as new curriculum aren't too pleased.
Just because I do not want critical race theory taught to my children in school does not mean that I'm a racist, dammit!
Actually, it does.
It's just another example of Republicans turning kids into a wedge issue, just like their politically motivated attacks on transgender youth who just want to play sports.
Immigrant parents come to this country, I'm sure they were nice people, send their daughter to Harvard, and that's what you get.
It really is.
Our system produces the worst people.
I love how condescending Taka can be to some awful people, and he's completely correct there.
I mean, nice lady at a meeting is saying, hey, these folks who have been advocating segregation is good.
Maybe don't teach that to my kids.
Maybe don't teach that the white kids are evil and the black kids are inferior.
Maybe just treat them as the civil rights movement wanted.
As all of us have come to the consensus on, the liberal tradition of the content of your character is important, not the color of your skin.
Yeah, they're the racist people, are they, Joy?
Jesus Christ.
So she accused Mark Ruffo of being a privileged white male for daring to criticize her on all this.
And that's the next clip, so let's play.
She went on to say that Chris Ruffo was only disagreeing with her because he wanted to get on her show.
Quote, This is a weirdly aggressive way to get yourself on TV, Christopher.
Why not just contact my booking producers like a normal person rather than going through with the white man demands option?
What a bigot she is and an unhappy person.
My word.
Chris Ruffo is in fact one of the most effective journalists and filmmakers in the country.
We're happy to have him on with us tonight.
He still remains.
So Chris Ruffo, I'm surprised you're not in hiding after the Washington Post and MSNBC have decided, you know, you should shut up.
Be quiet, Chris Ruffo.
Yeah, absolutely not.
No, I'm eating his pieces for breakfast.
It's really not phasing me at all.
I'm laser focused on my mission.
And the fact is that the Washington Post spent three weeks, they deployed two reporters trying to attack me, trying to undermine me.
It backfired spectacularly.
They had to retract or add six paragraphs in the story.
They had to reverse one of their key accusations against me.
They admitted to fabricating a timeline of events that was key to their story.
And then they really couldn't provide any evidence when I challenged them, claiming that they didn't have an audio recording or a transcript of the quotations they used and had falsified.
So it doesn't bother me one bit.
I think it really shows that we're having an impact.
We've woken up millions of parents to the dangers of critical race theory.
They're now starting to take action in school boards across the country.
And these neo-racist bigots are starting to get worried.
I mean, fantastic.
And these are the two protagonists we have here.
We have Joy Reid, MSNBC, the leftist organisation here, being like, if you oppose us, if you oppose critical race theory, you're a racist.
And you've got Mark Rufo over here, who's just like, yeah, don't teach us in schools, this is neo-racist nonsense.
And in their own words, the critical race theorists say that they are going to raise racial consciousness, that is their goal, in exactly the same way as the Klan.
Their words.
In the same way that the white racist right wanted to raise racial consciousness, the black nationalists wanted to do it, and therefore the public rightly saw them both as evil, and this is a problem because we quite like to help left racism, and therefore we've invented this way of theorizing it to get past that barrier.
Their words.
Their goddamn words.
If you want to read longer, go to page 14 for that one.
And that's the quotes.
So the character Joy Reid, she's most well known actually, at least from what I can see, is for some cover-ups she's tried to do of her own extremism.
So this is a clip from Dave Rubin in which he points out that MSNBC were caught stealth editing their own content.
So the show goes out, live on TV, and then they upload clips to the internet.
And for some reason they decide to delete the following clip, which they did not want to show.
So let's play the next clip here of what they didn't want to show.
And let's just listen to Louie Gomer.
And if he's claiming that he was being told by Capitol Police officers that there was going to be this influx of Antifa, who they've claimed were basically the devil, they're just anti-fascists, they don't really show up anywhere.
If we're seeing in some of these cases where Proud Boys and et cetera are saying that they anticipated that Antifa would come and fight them, that Black Lives Matter supporters would come and fight them so that Donald Trump could then impose the Insurrection Act.
The portion of the discussion is mysteriously not included in the segment that MSNBC uploaded online, but has been obtained by the Gateway Pundit.
That's what we just showed you.
The timestamp was also removed from the bottom right corner of the screen of their upload, possibly to cover up the edit it is present in the original clip.
So they deleted her saying that Antifa are just anti-fascists.
It's just the most pathetic brain-dead thing to say at this point.
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
They burnt down half of America.
And also her with this conspiracy theory that Trump wanted Antifa to turn up to fight his guys and therefore he could put the Insurrection Act into act.
But yeah, he gave a speech in which he said, peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
So there's no, you know, nonsense rambling.
And that's her.
That's what she's famous for.
That is her position on this.
So she invited Rufo on to have a discussion about this.
Discussion.
Kind of just to breathe.
And to be honest, when you watch the full clip, she doesn't want him speaking at all.
And we're going to play some of this because the catfight here is just totally worth it.
So let's play the first thing in which she just plays word games.
You say that Ibram Kendi, Dr.
Ibram Kendi, who's a college professor, you call him the guru of critical race theory.
We reached out to him.
We asked him if he's a critical race theorist.
He said, I admire critical race theory, but I don't identify as a critical race theorist.
I'm not a legal scholar, so I wasn't trained on critical race theory.
I'm a historian.
And Chris would know this if he actually read my work or understood that critical race theory is taught in law schools.
I didn't attend law school, which is where critical race theory is taught.
It's really the only place it's taught.
It's very interesting to me that so many people are now running away from the race of the label of critical race theory.
But hold on.
I'm going to quote two critical race theorists.
Barbara Applebaum with the book Being Good, Being White.
She says, quote, all white people are racist.
Robin DiAngelo, who's another critical whiteness studies scholar, says that, quote, No.
White identity is inherently racist.
No.
What you're doing is you're playing a series of word games.
You know that critical whiteness studies is a subfield of critical race theory?
No, it's not.
These things are all deeply interrelated.
No, they're not.
They're not.
And I'm not going to let you play word games.
And this is really, I think, the most essential thing.
Hold on.
Hold on.
No, no, no, no.
Let me respond at least once.
I haven't gotten a full sentence out.
Because I'm not going to let you...
See, one of the things that...
And I don't know, you probably never watched me on TV. Just, you know, we didn't know who each other were, you know, not so long ago.
But I don't allow people to just make up...
And say lies on the show.
Well, then you're going to have to ban yourself.
I mean, that's the problem there.
Wow, the lack of self-awareness there.
I don't allow people to say lies.
What?
Just everything about her demeanor, her attitude in this is horrible enough.
And then her argument is terrible as well.
So her essential argument, you'll hear this throughout, and it's demonstrated there, that she's like, well, there's critical race theory, and if everyone says that there's something else from that, even if it's derived from that, therefore they have no involvement with the original thing.
I mean, it's like saying the theory of gravity has nothing to do with physics, because it's not physics, it's gravity.
Like, that's not an argument.
There's just nothing.
So, for example, she talks about intersectionality, and she's later on, and she's like, yeah, intersectionality has nothing to do with critical race theory.
It's like, it's literally a subfield of that field.
But okay.
Therefore, you know, gravity mechanics, quantum mechanics, nothing to do with physics, because physics is a different thing.
Even if it doesn't have anything formally to do with it, just the fact that the kind of people who believe in it also believe in the other thing as well and they co-occur very often is surely an indication that they're related in some way.
Yeah, because, I mean, the fundamental thing here is the worldview.
The worldview in which you assess problems of race.
You have the liberal lens of race in which you say that you should be treated by the content of your character, not the colour of your skin, Martin Luther King there, and all the rest of it, in which you slightly look at the procedure, treat people the same.
That's the lens.
And then you've got the socialist lens of coming along and being like, yeah, white people are oppressing black people by their mere existence, and therefore we need to equalise the world on this basis.
And also, if we segregate the white kids away from the black kids, then the world will be better, because I've got a big brain, I can feel this out.
Why?
Because the black kids would be better off.
Okay.
So not even explain why they would be better off either.
Well, the first essay in here, which is the guy found in Critical Race Theory, Dendrick...
I forgot his name already.
Mr.
Bell.
His argument for why desegregation was bad and what they should have done was kept the black and white kids separate in America and instead just increased the level of educational quality in the black schools.
So he had no problem with the separate part.
He just had a problem with the equal part.
He was like, no moral caundry whatsoever with segregating kids on the basis of their race.
What I've got a problem with is just the schools in the black areas were lower quality.
If they were equal or higher quality, he had no problem.
No problem with the whole situation.
I mean, a horrible position to be in.
But that's the founder of critical race theory.
That's the founding essay of all this.
Anyway, so let's go on to the next clip here, in which he argues that whiteness was made in America to exclude Africans, which doesn't make any sense.
Whiteness is the idea that there is some kind of metaphysical category in the world, that all white people are reducible to this essence of whiteness.
And then what they do is they try to impose these reductive racial categories onto individuals.
Whiteness was actually formed in the United States.
Whiteness didn't even exist as a thing.
Europeans were all European.
They considered themselves Italian or Polish or whatever.
When the colonists came here, they actually created the idea of whiteness.
This is from the Switsonian.
I agree with that.
As a way to distinguish themselves from what they call the savages, the natives, and from black people, from Africans, who even if you had a little African in you, You know, if you're Plessy, who's seven-eighths white, if you are African in any aspect, that you are reduced of rights.
I mean, thanks for calling the Irish Africans then, I guess.
Because they're going to be excluded by the fact that they're not white according to the European standards there.
You know, remember that everyone's blah blah blah.
Like, the Irish weren't white for the longest time.
Still hard, to be honest, but never mind.
Wait, what?
I just love throwing hand grenades in that.
But also just the idea that Europeans have never interacted with Africa or Asia or anything.
The idea that they didn't have a concept of the fact that people in Europe were lighter skinned than, say, the sub-Saharan African area or Arabia, I find doubtful.
But anyway, she says, according to the Smithsonian, this is the case.
And everyone's seen the Smithsonian chart.
This is the chart in which they have aspects and assumptions of whiteness and white culture.
And the Smithsonian really made this.
And it's embarrassing because, of course, it just describes being British.
So, for example, they give some of the aspects of whiteness as individualism.
Does individualism describe the Germans?
They also say Protestant work ethic.
Is a Protestant work ethic really what comes to mind when you think of the Italians?
They also say about steak and potatoes, bland is best, is a feature.
Does that really describe the French?
No.
None of these things describe anything like that.
It wasn't clear enough.
They also have aspects in here.
History.
Heavy focus on the British Empire.
Justice.
Based on English common law.
Communication.
The king's English rules.
Yeah.
England.
Of course the continent focuses on the king's rules.
Referring to, of course, the UK. English common law.
Yeah.
It really defines Poland.
I wish France and Germany had followed English common law.
So it's pathetic.
Like, no, whiteness in the American terminology just means being English.
Everyone knows this because the 13 colonies and the foundation of the United States is an Anglo nation.
It is an Anglo place.
It is a place from the Anglo-Saxons, the Anglish, the English.
See how it works.
Anyway, let's go to her next clip in which she continues to avoid trying to admit what she is.
What I don't think is right is that forcing eight-year-olds in Cupertino, California to deconstruct their racial identities and then rank themselves according to power and privilege.
It's intersectionality theory, which was invented by Kimberly Crenshaw.
That's a separate thing.
Intersectionality is a separate thing.
No, it's not, dear.
You had her on your show.
You know this.
Yeah, she invented both things.
And here's the bottom line, Joy.
She invented both things.
What you've done in tonight's segment is exactly what I'm fighting against.
I'm fighting against the manipulation of language.
I'm fighting against language deconstruction.
You're fighting against wokeness and you don't like corporate wokeness.
And I'm trying to basically load all of these euphemistic terms with subversive content.
Because otherwise you just say whatever you want and then you back away from it and you dance around it.
It's not going to happen.
Parents all over this country, they know what's happening in schools.
They know what's happening in their public institutions.
And you're seeing people revolt against this divisive identity politics.
And you can dance all you want, but you're not going to stop people from understanding what's happening in their classrooms.
True.
Great, great way to end it for him there, making that point.
It was the only other part in that interview in which he was able to end his sentence.
But his point there, it doesn't matter how you keep jumping around it and keep trying to deny that, you know, quantum mechanics has anything to do with physics.
They're different things that, you know, intersectionality's got nothing to do with critical race theory, even though it's a subfield, but whatever.
Like, this is her position, and it's laughable.
When you start segregating kids in the classroom, the parents are going to notice.
Your position is indefensible.
And anyway, I just wanted to end on Tucker Carlson's summation of all this, because he sums it up rather well, I think.
I'm really realizing how deeply rooted racism is into like my everyday thought process.
A living embodied anti-racist culture does not exist among white people.
White people got to start getting together specifically around race.
White accountability groups are really helpful.
There's a period of deep shame for being white.
This is really sick and it's a complete dead end that will tank the country if we allow it to continue.
Everyone is created equal in the eyes of God and if you don't act that way and judge people based on who they are and what they do, the choices they make, and instead judge them on the colour of their skin, it's over.
Totally right.
I like how he was saying it like he was talking to a child as well, just like it's so obvious to him.
Well, that's what you're dealing with.
People deny what they have written, for example.
It's embarrassing.
But yeah, nothing else.
That's all.
Let's go to the video comments.
Something I have trouble articulating is how taking the knee or displaying the pride flag isn't just a human rights issue, it's a political one.
I believe it's a Trojan horse that is pushing forward this massive political ideas along with it that people are just agreeing with because they agree with the core message.
Same with the communist fist.
I believe this has had the same effect because people just believe the message that Black Lives Matter now.
I just want to get your thoughts on this because I have trouble kind of dividing the two when I'm having a conversation with people.
Well, it's politics 101, isn't it?
I mean, everyone does this, the right and the left.
They'll have their statement, and it's always couched in a way in which everyone could agree with it.
The abortion debate is probably the best way to illustrate this.
Pro-choice, pro-life.
Both of those statements are something no one wants to disagree with.
You want to be pro-choice and you want to be pro-life.
They sound like good things.
And you could get, you know, Boris Johnson standing there and be like, of course Black Lives Matter.
Like, that's the idiocy of it.
Of course choice is important.
Of course life is important.
Like, that's nothing.
The political ideas come along with it.
Are you for restricting the ability to do abortions, or are you for expanding the ability to do abortions into...
Late pregnancy or whatever.
That's the two things that come with it.
So to say that it's just a slogan or whatnot, hopefully that example of abortion works with your friends.
But it's something everyone does.
The idea that it's not happening in the case of BLM is just silly.
Yeah, I think in the example of talking to people about it, it's important to separate the slogan, say obviously no one's really disputing that Black Lives Matter.
It's what the Black Lives Matter group itself believes and advocates for, the actual politics of it, that is the objectionable part.
And I think that is the better thing to do.
Yeah, I mean, on their website, the breakup of the nuclear family.
Exactly.
It's got to do with Black Lives.
Nothing to do with it.
If you're asking a normie friend, they're going to be like, what?
Then you just show them the picture, and it's like...
This is on their official website, yeah.
Yeah, you tell me.
You can just go on their website and read off some of the stuff that they say, and it's bad enough sounding to just a normal person that they're going to be like, what?
Yeah, I mean, like, you know, I'm pro-segregation, probably not something that's going to convince the public, but that's why they have to do it by subversive means all the time, don't they?
Let's go to the next one.
Right now, in this culture war, it is the night before the Battle of Britain, the evacuation of Dunkirk, the fall of France.
Nearly all has befallen the leftists.
The only question is, are you Lord Halifax or Churchill?
Will you surrender and hope for favourable terms?
Or will you ride out the storm of war?
I like that.
Especially with the...
The only thing I would add is probably the Churchill quote.
You cannot negotiate with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.
I mean, that's how I see conservatives who will go on a debate with a leftist, and they'll give them some points and be like, well, of course you're right about racial equality and all that.
And then be like, but I've got some concerns about so and so forth.
And the reason it sounds so wet, I was asking Carl about this, because it's weird.
When you see a conservative on Question Time or whatever, and they just don't seem right.
They're saying things that sound like conservatives, but at the same time, there's just something that makes you think wet.
And what is it fundamentally?
And it's their inability to accept that the leftist position, nothing of it is salvageable.
Nada.
I mean, the people advocating that you should raise racial consciousness and enforce segregation because it's better for the black kids.
I've got no problem with segregation.
There is nothing salvable from that.
There is nothing you can agree on and be like, well, okay, we can give you this point.
No, the whole thing.
The whole thing is to be aptly rejected because it is entirely counter to your own worldview.
And when you see conservatives agreeing with that, that's Lord Halifax.
It makes my skin crawl when I hear conservatives talk about equality, and even worse when it's equity as well.
Inclusion.
Inclusion is the worst one.
It's like hierarchy is an inevitability of being a human being, and you can never get rid of it.
So in trying to impose any form of equality by the dictionary definition of the word, then you're just doing an injustice on the majority of people.
Yeah.
I mean, equality is a really good example because this is the primary communist value.
Socialism is all based on equality.
Liberalism, conservatives, none of that is based on equality.
All of that is based on freedom and duty and so on and so forth.
Nowhere in all of that founding ideology will you find equality.
And yet you hear conservatives talk about equality and it's just like, I want to kill myself.
Which is why I'm in agreement with Carl, just the Equality Department in the UK. Abolish it.
The whole thing.
Absolutely.
It was invented by Tony Blair.
We didn't need it before.
We don't need it now.
All it is is a socialist version of British politics.
I think people need to remember that meritocracy is just a hierarchy of competence.
And once you frame it in that way, people realise actually, no, equality is bad because we want competent people to be in the positions that they're qualified for.
And that's why merit is important, because it's not an equitable or equality-focused value.
I mean, not only is no one as competent as anyone else, we all have different levels of competence at different things, no one is even as competent as themselves on a different day.
Exactly.
You are more competent on some days than you are on others.
In which case, this entire thing, throw it in the trash.
Give them absolutely no ground, because they don't deserve it.
You can't even, as you said, have equality amongst just yourself.
Like, as you said, and that is a really good point, that the same person on the same day, and this is something that is hammered home in psychology all the time, that you're not the same person neurochemically, psychologically.
You are a different person, and there's even arguments to say that, you know...
You should view yourself as just a different person each day, almost.
Which is a bit of a stretch, but...
That's kind of true.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
Hey guys, just wanted to add something about the GB News stuff and what's going on there.
So, let me get this right.
The leftists try and cancel them with all of the boycott advertising stuff.
They fight back, and it looks like they're winning...
That's actually really big.
If corporations realize that they actually don't have to cancel all their advertising and succumb to the mob every time, that's a real turning point.
What do you think?
Yeah, absolutely true.
It's a proper L. That's why I had a particular focus on it with the fact that they lost and the fact that you had a proper leftist.
I mean, Nazarene Melech, proper leftist.
I mean, full-on extreme, opposition exists, shut it down.
And yet she's accepting, in The Guardian, we failed.
We lost.
We took an L here.
We've been screwed over.
And it's the thing of like, well, with the leftists and progressivism and the march of progress, you know, progress never ends.
It's almost like domino theory, you know, where the countries all fall to communism.
Like, the dominoes just keep going.
But if the dominoes stop...
And that's a win which you have in GB News.
Well, then why can't they fall the other way?
It's just hoping that we are able to get to that point.
Well, yeah, it's going to be like a good case study to use, just like, well, actually, you don't have to pull out all the advertisers.
And I imagine that lots of people in advertising agencies, particularly in the UK, are going to be looking at this and saying, actually, well, although we might get this pressure at first, it doesn't matter.
You can just Twitter your thumbs for 24 hours and it will evaporate.
And I still believe that there's probably a reasonable amount of motivation to earn money in some advertising agencies, and it's not purely ideological.
So I think they're going to be paying notice of that.
That's a great point, by the way.
It is, yes.
Speaker, sorry, I forgot your name.
Howdy, Captain Oldsburg here.
Did you ask if I was on a ship, Gal?
Well, actually, yes.
A coastal cruise.
Right now, we're in Smallback.
No way, seriously.
That looks lovely.
So, down in my much less windy cabin, what I tried to say was, yes, I'm in a coastal cruise.
We're currently in Svalvar, one of the prettiest places in Norway.
But to the question, there's one thing I always wondered.
Why do people keep falling for the intersectionals?
Why do they keep on always going for the word soup people?
Why do they always keep laying down for all these virtuous causes that are just hypocritical?
Why do everybody keep falling for it every single time?
Do you guys know?
So firstly, I thought you said Svalbard.
That's why I got all excited, because you know the islands that Norway has.
You ever been there, actually?
Do tell us.
As for people falling for intersectional word soup, I have to wonder if it's partly at least because it's like socialism.
It's a puzzle that can be solved.
All the intellectuals are like, oh, I can fix this.
And they say, no, it can't be fixed.
Everyone's tried.
It's garbage.
like, oh, I've got this great idea.
You run across intersectionism as a kid, teenager, and you think, oh yeah, I can fix this or I can solve it or this is the way or something like this.
That's got to be a motivating factor.
As for the social pressure element, watching Michael Malice talk to Carl about how people get their information on a broad scale rather than just individual actors, yeah, I mean, if you do pump something into a large group of people's heads endlessly, a bunch of them will end up buying into if you do pump something into a large group of people's
I just think for people who don't really follow politics very strongly and don't really understand the ins and outs, it seems, superficially to them at least, that it's on the side of being compassionate and empathetic.
Like, they just want to be a good person kind of thing, and then they kind of buy into this without really examining it close enough to see that actually it's really awful and the complete opposite of what they want.
Because I certainly know of people who have fallen for the intersectional worldview, and they're not horrible people, and they're actually very polite, but they just don't understand politics beyond a very superficial, emotionally reactive level, and I think that might be a part of it.
Is it also for those kind of people very theoretical?
No, not really.
It's more just emotional.
It kind of feels right.
Like, well, if they're anti-racist...
I mean, theoretical in the sense that they never really engaged on-the-ground politics and said it's always just, you know, from your university dorm.
Yeah, something along those lines maybe, where I think it wouldn't even be that far where they've looked at it at university.
It might just be that they've come across it in like some Facebook post or something like that.
Just really kind of cursory association with it maybe.
I think that's a good answer.
I'm going to show y'all a hammer.
It's actually a gun.
You have been tricked.
I have defeated all of you.
Get wrecked, far-right extremists.
There's something about that I love.
That's why I really, really like the Ben Shapiro mock memes.
It's like, you know, yeah, but what if milk is cereal that are leftist-owned?
There's something about that heavy level of irony that tickles me.
Let's go for the next one.
Hello, Lodos Eaters!
Today is the first of what I hope to be many contributions.
One thing I have been thinking a lot recently is about the relationship between socialism and slavery.
I would say that only through capitalism that slavery was abolished on the West.
And they think that socialism is anti-capitalist.
And the core of capitalism is the idea that you are the one that actually owns your own work.
And it is not actually owned by any type of master, any type of king, or any type of great leader.
Yeah, sure.
One of the things I'd probably add is that the socialists are just slavers.
I mean, everyone in the Soviet Union and DPRK is essentially a slave.
Rather than being owned by a citizen, you're owned by the state.
Well, if you don't own yourself, then you can't own your own stuff that you create.
And if you don't own yourself, then who owns you?
Well, it'd be the state.
Okay, then you're a slave.
I mean, everyone in the DPRK is a slave.
Absolutely, yeah.
I do believe that the socialists are sincere in their objections to conventional slavery.
As in, like, taking people and using them for, like, horrible manual labour.
I think they are genuine in opposing that.
Why are you making that face?
Because they do it all the time!
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
All the time!
They will just take people, depopulate them, move them somewhere else and make them forcefully work on whatever they want.
I mean, like, modern Western socialists, not, like...
Communist China.
I don't buy it with them either.
I think as soon as they get the opportunity, they'll do it like that.
Because remember, that's a transphobe, so who cares if he's a bloody slave?
Well, I think some might have their limits there.
I'm probably giving them way too much credit.
This is why I'm looking forward to doing the book club on Gulag Archipelago with you.
You need to read some more.
Remind yourself.
No, I couldn't get through it.
It was too depressing.
Exactly.
This is your problem and you came out with, oh, the socialists are opposed to slavery.
You need to finish it.
Well, some individuals inevitably are.
Socialists?
You can't just tar them all with the same brush.
I mean, I don't like them, obviously.
They literally don't think you have rights.
I mean, that's the pre-supposition of being a socialist.
So...
Yeah, no, I am.
In the same way that I tie with all Muslims for believing in Allah.
That's different, though.
Well, it's not different.
It's a fundamental belief.
Yeah, but they use things like slavery as, like, the ultimate, just like, yeah, the white man's basically relying on...
Because it's making profit for the capitalists.
So you're saying it's all a grift.
Yes.
Well, no, it's not all a grift.
It's not a grift.
So a grift would be someone who's just doing it for money, right?
Of course.
So I think the socialists genuinely believe what they're saying, but they oppose Western slavery, you know, feudal slavery, whatever the hell you call it, on the basis that it makes money for the rich capitalist landowner, the disgusting transphobe or whatever the hell else label they're coming up with these days.
But the act of enslaving a person and forcing him to work for someone else, the state, the collective or whatnot, they have no qualms with.
Absolutely none.
Especially if they can make that individual not worthy of rights.
So the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat.
The proletariat are the ones to be taken care of, therefore the bourgeoisie, they've got no rights.
Kulaks, kill them all.
So, if they had some kind of working class person who had enslaved loads of, I don't know, middle and upper class people...
They'd have no problem with that.
You reckon?
Absolutely none.
They've done it a million times.
I don't know.
I'm somewhat hesitant to say it.
I don't want to give them credit.
Okay, well, the Western ones.
I mean, we'll take a Western one, right?
So not the old type of socialist.
So let's take the BLM, Translized Matter, they, them pronoun, you know, moron from Twitter, right?
Put them in charge of the country.
Would they have any problem enslaving Ben Shapiro and so on and so forth?
Would they have any moral quandaries with that whatsoever?
I don't know.
It would depend on the individual in question.
I really think they wouldn't.
I think they'd be like, that's a transphobe, that's a racist, they've got no rights whatsoever.
Which is why when you see them treating racists, people who will say the liberal perspective on race, for example, they treat them awfully.
They obviously have no opposition to using violence against them, at least some of them.
Oppose violent measures, but obviously there are also other ones as well.
I just don't want to tar them all with the same brush.
I'm probably being far too charitable.
It's like tarring all Muslims with believing in Muhammad.
Well, that's a prerequisite.
Exactly, it's a prerequisite to being a socialist to say that the enemies don't have civil rights.
They don't have any rights.
Rights come from a state, and they're not part of our group.
They're the out-group.
I don't know.
Anyway.
Anyway, moving on.
I look forward to the book club on the Eligo that's coming in God knows where.
Well, I'll definitely agree with it there.
Let's go for the next video.
Hey guys, so it seems that you guys are covering some Perican-related news.
As you're resident Perican, I'm here to help you guys out a little bit with that.
I noticed that my local news have been covering this differently than the international one, and I'm probably going to have to make a YouTube video about that, but I'm not going to be able to explain everything in this video message.
I decided that to show how based my culture is, I am simply going to read some of the comments that was left in that article that I am speaking about.
Alright, so here we go.
Pensante says, we have to be very careful with those BLM over there in the States.
Carlos Paz says, another Democrat city.
What do you guys expect?
So this person over here starts talking about Alzheimer Joe going to accuse inanimated objects being the guns and how it's just leftist propaganda.
That's a weed of people who commented it.
And over here, it says there's so many.
It says by Madame M, BLM always painted as saints by the leftist propaganda.
But here is the reality.
Chicago is a very dangerous place and the tyrannical governor Betelgeuse continues inciting racism like all the leftist Democrats do while manipulating the stupids who decide to fight for racism.
That was great.
Thanks for translating.
I've forgotten her name.
The lady...
Was it White something?
White Hot Peppers.
There we go.
White Hot Peppers.
She's our roving reporter within the National Guard telling us about what's happening in DC. We get one for Puerto Rico and whatnot.
We could almost have it as being like, now it's our reporter and so on.
Anyway.
G'day Lotus Eagers, I'm doing another ad.
Because it's the end of financial year, I've put up a promotion for my ebooks, all my ebooks.
If you go on to Smashwords and use And if you go onto my website, cscooper.com.au, and use the promo code KETOKINGKARL, you'll get 15% off all my books and all my other merch on the store.
Go and check it out.
Have a nice year, guys.
You too.
I half expected them to be light, and that's the number of calories you'll lose on the keto diet.
Great, great.
Go and check out white.
About humorism, specifically overindulgence in digital media.
In reference to the Seven Deadly Sins, do you think it's closer to sloth or gluttony?
I think it depends on the context.
Games or TV to procrastinate is closer to sloth.
Spending all your free time on games is closer to gluttony.
It's also a bit complicated because some games are more mindless and indulgent than others.
Strategy, creative, or immersive sim-type games I think are less mindless than non-competitive action games.
Not sure I'd agree.
If somebody plays a lot of Hearts of Iron and EU4 and whatnot, it's kind of just as mindless when you get to know it.
There's so many menus, though.
It's overwhelming.
Yeah.
That's why I like Total War over the Paradox games, because it's battles.
I don't need to use that big brain, you know?
Just war.
Yeah.
I mean, sure, it's...
It's maybe using more of your mind than just playing Left 4 Dead and gunning down zombies, but at the same time, once you've got 100 hours buried into it, you know how everything works, so it doesn't really challenge you either.
But if you've got to the point of 100 hours, hasn't it kind of surpassed its life then?
Well, no.
You should look at how many hours I have on certain games.
I'm someone who's got like 600 hours on Rome Total War 2, so I should be ashamed of myself.
Although I love the reviews for Paradox Games, because it would be like Hearts of Iron, you know, 2,000 hours, and the guy with a review would be like, no, I didn't like it, wouldn't recommend it.
I remember seeing that myself, actually, it's so ridiculous.
But yeah, to answer your actual question, I think it's mainly kind of, I don't know, gluttony, it's indulgence, isn't it?
Rather than sloth, because sure, you're not moving around or doing anything.
Yeah.
But it's not doing completely nothing.
I think it's more indulging advice.
I think the best...
As you said.
I've got to mention, the reviews for EU4 are probably the best, in which they're just like, finally, now I can live out the leftist dream of becoming a white man and colonising the world.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
So my fiancé brought home a revolutionary activist pamphlet yesterday.
It's so amazing.
Who inform us that we should be baking with pride.
Yeah, but we might do it.
Now this chap here tells me that the LGBTQ plus community is far from having equal rights.
Right.
I don't get it.
Someone explain to me what rights they don't have.
It just boggles the mind.
I mean, what do you want, alphabet people?
Like, what are your terms?
You already have every legal protection is possible to afford you.
You have a month of parades in your honour, much like Julius Caesar.
And you have Tesco's baking cakes in your honour.
Where's the super straight cake?
Oh wait, no.
That guy was given thousands of death threats and totally unpersoned.
So, you sit on your rainbow throne and talk about equality.
Oh my god, there's no escape.
That was great.
I love it, because in your life, I hate it as well.
It's just like everything I use.
Goddamn users to tell me that.
But also the idea that the pride parades are just like Julius Caesar's tribes.
That's great.
I love that.
Who are they parading down and kill at the end?
That's the question.
They strangle at the end.
Straight white men, I guess.
Let's go for the next one.
Afternoon, gents.
Just a quick follow-up about what Sargon said yesterday about the CCP being in power for quite some time.
True, but think of it like this.
The Russian Revolution, 1917.
Soviet Union collapse, 1991.
74-year difference.
The Chinese Revolution, 1945 till the present day, 76 years.
Revolution has always seemed impossible until it occurred, after which everyone sagely agreed that it was inevitable.
In the years leading up to 1991, virtually no Western expert, scholar, official, or politician foresaw the impending collapse of the Soviet Union.
Neither with one exception did Soviet dissidents, nor, judging by their memoirs, did the future revolutionaries themselves.
It's a good point.
Very good point, yeah.
The only thing I think would be different would maybe be the fact that the Soviet Union was in a period of stagnation and China isn't.
Yeah.
Could be in 20 years or 10 years.
That's...
Well, I was only seeing something this morning of just the Chinese streets being completely flooded because they hadn't built them properly.
Like, they just rushed it.
Then you're seeing people on, like, motorbikes just half submerged in water.
And you're just like, well, if they've cut corners there, where else have they cut corners?
And if you build your empire in a house of cards, eventually it will come crashing down.
It's Chinese History 101, as John's an expert and has been teaching me.
It's essentially like the new ruling class comes about because the old ruling class was corrupt, and then they rule for ages, and then they're corrupt, and then they destroy everything, and then, you know, new revolution.
It's like a cycle.
It's very Buddhist.
Communists are very, very corrupt, so hopefully there's an accelerating force there.
Do you want to read the comments?
Sure.
So, Natalie Collier, tax evasion is a very common method of detaining people that the government otherwise don't have enough evidence to detain.
It's also often difficult to prove one way or the other.
If I were McAfee, I'd insist on my cell being surrounded by cameras that stream to a public streaming service 24-7 or hire a personal guard to stay by my cell.
Yeah, but if he was streaming it, he'd start having sex with the inmates on camera, wouldn't he?
If he's in an all-male prison, I don't think so.
Okay, well, he's not smuggling them in.
Come on, it's him.
He'd be smuggling in drugs, at least, and doing it on stream.
Tyler Williamson, the question with McAfee is, who did he have dirt on and why did she take so long?
I don't know who he's alluding to.
I do not have information that will lead to Hillary Clinton's arrest.
Please don't kill me.
Oh, right.
Samuel Kennedy.
McAfee tells people he's not suicidal and then kills himself to make it look like the government did it, like a boss.
Yeah, I mean, that's one theory.
And to be honest, if it is that, then that's still kind of a mad lab move.
If he's going to jail in the States, then we'll be there forever anyway.
Just do one last thing to spite the government.
It's a libertarian way to go, I think.
Military party.
Kill yourself.
Probably get elected on a platform like that more so than before.
I don't know what the slogan is now.
Where's it gone?
Harry Thornton apparently had depression.
It came as much as a shock to him as to us.
Ignacio Junqueira, to be honest, I could buy that our tyrannical government in Spain allowed Biden's hounds to Epstein McAfee as a gesture of goodwill to get Biden to give them some kickbacks.
It really seems easier to do this hit abroad rather than in US soil.
Don't trust anything Spanish officials or press say, especially if they are from Catalonia.
Okay.
I mean, you guys have got, what was it, a socialist prime minister or whatever at the moment, so, I mean...
My condolences.
Yeah.
Alexander H.W. Berry.
I'd probably mispronounce that.
What if McAfee built this narrative of being non-suicidal to further implicate the US government as whackers?
This really stokes a fire in conservative libertarian circles, i.e.
martyrs.
Yeah, that's why I said that.
I kind of want to believe that, because that's an absolute mad lad.
I don't know.
Like, don't kill yourself, but that is a mad lad thing for him to do.
And for a guy who's so nuts, I kind of wonder whether or not his whole life has been trying to big himself up in ways of taking himself further, you know?
And then I wonder if in his head he's like, right, I'm going to go with a bang.
Well, you often get that with kind of very hedonistic people.
They go out in a big way.
But he clearly cares about what he'll be remembered for, I think.
I don't know.
I was very resistant to the idea when I came to work this morning, but I've been slowly talked to it a little bit.
Do you want to skip over to defund the police because we don't have much time?
Sure.
To number nines, we should start calling him 180 Biden as he inevitably has to go back on every policy he's introduced as well as every radical thing he's ever endorsed.
I can honestly see him and Kamala playing the villains in a low-budget superhero movie.
Yeah.
We're doing it right now.
Yeah, he's already done it.
Matthew Hammond, the Biden admin, we're going to defund the police.
Biden admin, three weeks later, that was a disaster.
Refund the police, but try not to make any announcements about it.
It was also refund the police more than we ever did.
Exponentially more.
120%.
Why are we seeing so many reversals in policies in the first 100 days of the Biden admin?
Maybe Orange Man was right.
Yeah, Orange Man was right.
About almost everything, it seems.
Eventually he's going to become even more base than Trump himself.
Just give him enough time.
It's like the Saddam Hussein defence.
Talia Ciceronis.
The murder rate in my city has gone up by almost 60%, but the real problem is the police and the prosecutors are dropping charges left and right.
We just had a mass shooting here and the charges have been dropped for all but one of the individuals involved.
No justice.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's awful, isn't it?
Similar thing happened in Portland with all the rioters.
I mean, hardly any of them have actually been charged.
All of them seem to just get dropped.
Yes.
It's appalling.
That message just said, yeah, crime is legal.
There's all this sense.
This is a real dereliction of duty of all of the elected officials and the people in the justice system to allow this to happen, because it's the breakdown of civil society that they're bringing on, and it's not good.
Israel Hayes, wow, look at those crime rates.
Funny that those are all of America's left cities and have a high black population.
Can you make a guess at what a white South African would make of that?
I wouldn't want to make a guess, but I know what you're getting at.
No, thank you.
I mostly agree with you, but just keep objective.
I think you are missing a certain connection for consistency's sake.
Homicide bad.
More homicide means we need more government powers over citizens.
Disease deaths bad.
More disease deaths mean we need more...
Government power over citizens.
Laws should not be made more strict because law enforcement failed to uphold it.
The focus should be on upholding laws we already have.
I hate laws that are not upheld.
If you don't care, if someone breaks the law, remove the law.
Sure, that's a fair criticism of the point that the law not being enforced is part of the problem there, as the chap mentioned with charges being dropped.
But I disagree with the idea that the number of police officers doesn't have an impact.
Yeah, obviously it has an impact.
There's a fair criticism though, I think, in this argument about them being overly militarised.
And you can look back at the police force in these situations in the past, they don't look anywhere near as militarised as they are now.
I don't know.
I'm not entirely sure what you're actually referring to.
I haven't noticed any militarized equipment necessarily.
Well, the fact that they have more armored vehicles and they have more firearms and whatnot.
Swatting, for example.
The fact that you send the SWAT team to almost anything now, instead of just on very rare occasions.
There used to be a very elite force that you wouldn't send to much.
And now they get called out for just a phone call, for Christ's sake.
I mean, if the police had, I don't know, an APC, an air support, I might say, yeah, maybe it's getting out of hand.
Well, many American departments do have that kind of equipment.
It means to me.
It comes from, not all of them, obviously, but it comes from the Bush administration saying, well, we keep buying all this military equipment and then it's useless after it's run out of its time period.
We'll just give it to the cops.
I mean, they need armor equipment and whatnot.
And yeah, sure, they do on occasion, but I don't think they need as much as they get.
You could just sell a lot of that to South American dictators instead, if there are any left.
You're saying to sell weapons to dictators in South America.
Look, you sell weapons or you don't.
I'm very Humphrean on this.
If you're in the business of selling weapons, you will eventually sell weapons to those who have the money to buy them.
Do you not know about Sir Humphrey talking about this?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've actually watched that recently.
Yeah, he's like, what about the issue of safety?
We could put a government warning on the rifle.
That's to do with the Italian communists, isn't it?
Yeah.
I remember it now.
Jan Marcher, the response team did not resign, they're just not going to be volunteered members of the Riot Squad anymore.
That is what a resignation from the Riot Squad is, isn't it?
If they're not going to be on the team anymore, they've resigned.
I think that's a question of semantics, but I guess you're right.
Matthew Wilson, between Black Lives Matter supporting Councillor getting carjacked and Riot Cops quitting en masse, that you get what you effing deserve.
Joker meme is getting a workout this year.
I did try and warn against that with the carjacking.
They keep voting for it, though.
I know, but...
I'm just going to go on to a couple of questions from QuickRace.
Sure.
So, CRT is such an obvious grift.
Why can't any of these normies see it?
I don't think it's a grift.
I think a lot of people genuinely believe it.
They're just crazy people.
So, Matthew Wilson, it's only a matter of time before they come for Martin Luther King Jr.
He needs to be knocked off his perch as he's an effective counter to the racist CRT narrative.
Yikes.
Yeah, that's a good point.
He probably should start watching his back.
Yeah, I mean, it's interesting with her.
She's trying to run away from it.
Kehinde, trying to run away from it.
Why?
Why is it bad to be a critical race theorist?
No, it's just a law thing.
No, no, no, no.
Is it bad?
Get them to answer that question.
No, no, no, it's wonderful.
Well, okay, then you are.
And the fact that they try to run away from that is telling.
Kekestani Freedom Fighter, do you agree with my motto?
You might not be interested in race politics, but race politics is definitely interested in you.
That's true for all politics as well, as the mighty Gerard Batten would say.
I miss Gerard.
I miss Gerard.
He's a good politician.
Anyway.
So we're going to end there because we've run out of time.
We're going to go do some more recording.
As I mentioned, go and check out the book club that will be up at 3 o'clock after this stream.
So on looses.com about neither left nor right.
That's premium content.
So please do go and sign up to get access to that between me and Carl.
Mostly him talking about the books.
He's the one who read it.
But it's just amazing.
The historical steps of what made fascism was a bunch of socialists saying, yeah, Marx was wrong on this, this, this.
Therefore, we'll reform socialism away from Marxism and into a new doctrine and we'll call it fascism.
Like, okay, yeah, okay.
I mean, what more do you need to prove that, yes, fascism is just a form of socialism that comes from the left?
This is why I have an argument about you about what's extreme left and extreme right.
And I'm like, yeah, all the fascists are left-wingers.
And then the extreme right, I don't know if I told you, I came to the conclusion, it's Saudi Arabia.
That's based.
Anyway, just go and check that out.
Also, if you are not a premium member, go to the website or the YouTube channel, Oasis.com, to check out the video I did about the erosion of British civilization, really.
English civilization, specifically, with the fact that the Magna Carta now means nada.
But otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
