	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Teators for the 22nd of October 2021.
	I'm I'm joined by Harry.
	Hello.
	Today we're going to be talking about why trans activists are going to lose, the NBA stars promoting natural immunity and de facto getting put into a position of vaccine segregation.
	Yep.
	Enjoying that.
	Also the leftist mask political theatre, which is sort of blown up again because it always does, because fear-mongering, therefore mask mandates, except for us, because we're holier than thou or something.
	Absolutely, and thank you for getting my name right this time.
	One of many, hopefully.
	Some stuff to mention first on the website.
	The first thing here being an article from John Tangney, Sally Rooney, and the New Left Clericy.
	I'm going to get that word right.
	I don't know if this is premium.
	If we can scroll down, I can't remember.
	Yes, it is, because I can see the audio track, which is also available for Silver and Gold Tier members to listen instead of having to read.
	Because reading can be a pain.
	But other than that, sign up to get access to that one.
	If we go to the next one here, we have another premium video.
	So this is Critical Race Theory, an overview.
	So Carl has finally finished his big old Bible of Critical Race Theory.
	Jesus Christ.
	And this is the overview.
	So this is like the first episode here in which he just has an overview of the whole thing.
	Very much worth your time to save you from reading the big old Bible.
	Yeah, which looks like a Sisyphean task.
	Yeah, going to take a hell of a lot longer than watching this for 57 minutes.
	But that's the first part.
	Of course, here we'll be going into more depth of the specifics of different sections and essays and whatnot, because there are some certainties in there that are worth the time.
	Yeah, I'm sure it's quite eye-opening and illuminating to read some of that.
	I pored through a little bit of it myself when we were passing it over on the writing table, and it's...
	Quite dense.
	Yeah.
	Especially, he did the live event one in which he went through, was it Dorothy...
	I'm going to get the name wrong.
	It's Dorothy something.
	And she argues that essentially black women aren't human unless they can have crack babies.
	I think I actually saw that one.
	Freaking insane.
	Anyways, go check that out as well.
	We don't want to link up there for that, but that's something that's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're interested in critical race theory and why these people are friggin' mad.
	And the last thing here is I just want to mention about the Crown video I did.
	I wanted to respond a little bit to some of the comments because I apparently didn't do a good enough job in explaining this specifically.
	So some of the comments were arguing, well, why doesn't she fix this problem or that problem in society that we have?
	And we have plenty.
	And the response to that was, well, that's not her job.
	The ministers are meant to do that.
	They are elected through the system we have, and also they're her crown ministers to do that problem.
	She is there for constitutional matters.
	She is there to ensure the constitution functions as proper.
	And that's why she has such the powers, and therefore exercises them where needs be.
	But...
	Also, I'm half having fun with this, I probably should have made this more clear, but I was half making fun of the sense of like, yeah, absolute monarchy, to hell with it.
	So the idea that this is meant to be the ideal of what the monarchy should be doing, as described by the books and the evidence, not necessarily how I think it should work, because I don't have any opinions on reforming the monarchy or the constitution, because that's complex as heck, and getting into it is a hell of a problem.
	Plebs like us, it's not worth the headache, to be perfectly honest.
	Yeah, but there was a whole section in the book on constitutional matters and the reforms from different sides.
	Was that the book that described them as the longest-serving secular element of the state?
	Yes.
	There are a bunch of arguments in there from all the different parties of the different constitutional reforms you could do, and I couldn't make my head to tails with them.
	I was just like, this is just not my field, so I'm going to leave that there.
	But anyway, that's just some response there from some of the interesting comments I saw.
	But otherwise, let's get right...
	Let's talk about why trans activists are going to lose.
	And we've had this argument occasionally, which is the difference between the trans activists, who do not represent trans people, they make that clear, first and foremost, against the...
	By bullying other trans people.
	Very often.
	Against the TERFs.
	So the difference between self-ID, which will be able to identify our gender, sex, because we say it is, and the people who say, no, these things are scientific.
	Yes, there is.
	That's the divide.
	It's pretty difficult, but I am pretty sure there is some kind of mild consensus on the fact that gender dysphoria is a thing, and these people just want to throw that aside.
	It's very, very difficult to quantify.
	But that's the fundamental level of what it's about.
	Is this a scientific matter, or is this something just in your head?
	And, well, the answer's obvious.
	Scientific, because we can see it in the dimorphism of humans and all other species.
	But, you know, you could join...
	But more exceptions.
	You could join the...
	But more exceptions, though.
	...of it's all in your head.
	So we thought I'd go through some of this to prove that I think the trans activists are just gonna lose.
	And the first thing we have up here is an article from The National, which is an S&P-supporting newspaper.
	LGB Alliance Conference, Joanna Cherry joins Rosie Duffield for free speech, in quotes, panel...
	So this is Labour Party MP and a SNP MP, both left-wingers in left-wing parties, and yet are united on the point of, yeah, I think women exist.
	I think it's probably biological that women exist.
	The fact that it's come down to such a simplistic concept, uniting everybody.
	Meh.
	I mean, it shows you something about the enemy, doesn't it?
	Yeah.
	So I quote from that.
	A Labour MP has branded her party an absolute embarrassment on women's rights and gender identity.
	I think it was there already.
	I mean, we've all watched the Labour conference, but okay.
	Also, the thing in here of it being a free speech panel, I don't know where they stand on this album, but the idea that, ah, free speech, I'm not sure, probably hate speech.
	Well...
	You know, we've been through this a million times, but if we just look at the next one here, we have an individual who is allegedly part of the Free LGB Alliance, and yeah, they're under attack by the police in the UK. Not a free speech matter.
	I mean, they're literally being called in for interviews with the police, but again, free speech, I don't know.
	You know, questionable.
	I've just been called by the police in Mlogan.
	I have been informed that I am to be interviewed under caution regarding my tweets following a complaint about me.
	If I don't go to the station voluntarily, I will be arrested for tweets.
	They won't tell me which tweets until I get there.
	Sounds fair.
	It's like a totally reasonable way of running the country, arresting people for tweets, and also not telling them what they're being arrested for unless they come down to the station for a voluntary interview, which they'll be arrested for if they don't attend.
	Doesn't make any sense.
	Right, so she says in here, plan, I'm getting a lawyer, I'm taking their advice, I'm calling the policeman's bluff, he can come and arrest me if he wants, I'm no commenting on everything, I'm not locking down, I stand by my truths, I have spoken, and I am unafraid.
	So very good for her standing up to this.
	And if we go to the next one on here, she has an update on this.
	So update, my solicitor has contacted the police, they want to interview me for offensive under the Militious Communications Act, homophobic hate crime, transphobic hate crime.
	Because it calls for this.
	For saying that women exist.
	Yes, for saying women are women, presumably.
	And presumably if they're part of the LGB alliance saying that there is no such thing as a female penis.
	Yeah, and if you're a lesbian, you want to have sex with biological women.
	Yeah.
	Not people who think they're women, because suck my D isn't a lesbian argument.
	Suck it, bigot.
	Yes.
	So she says, I know which tweets, none of them violate Twitter's terms of service, or even referenced to the complaint.
	So, I mean the complainant.
	So, doesn't even reference the person who complained, because it doesn't have to in British law.
	But also, nothing even spicy enough for Twitters to be upset.
	But for the British police...
	Much more strict than Twitter.com.
	I mean, that's what we're dealing with.
	So they had their conference recently.
	So if we go to the next one on this, you can see them in Westminster with their flags flying, which is kind of cute.
	I'm actually getting some flags up with your logo on.
	I don't know why.
	I just find it appealing.
	Anyway, so there's that.
	And if we go to the next one, they also invited Boris.
	Which was cool.
	And Boris wrote back, or at least his head of comms wrote back, and he said he couldn't come because of his diary, which, understandable.
	Whatever.
	But you remember, he was at Tory party conference, and him and his girlfriend went and supported the LGBT conservatives.
	Was his girlfriend the one who organised part of that as well?
	She gave a speech.
	Yeah.
	Which she seemed to be endorsing then.
	But Boris did write to the LGBT alliance saying some complimentary things, which is interesting.
	I wonder how that went down at home, eh?
	The Prime Minister is delighted to learn of this groundbreaking event and is aware of the truly momentous occasion this will be.
	I would like to thank the LGB Alliance for their incredible hard work and send my best wishes for a successful conference.
	I mean, that reads like an endorsement of the movement.
	It does.
	To me.
	And, yeah, a lot of hoes were mad about that.
	Of course they were.
	Because of course they were.
	This is Boris just flexing his conservative credentials.
	I mean...
	LGBT. No, no, no.
	It's his comms director.
	He didn't go to it at the conference, so...
	The suspicions, I think, are warranted, and I still have them, about the sincerity of all this.
	But they did write something complimentary, and in response, Pink News, very mad.
	As you can see, one ho, mad.
	Very many hoes were mad, but this is just the one I find most funny.
	Pink News is always mad about everything.
	Yes, the intersectionists are mad.
	And if we go back to the tweet underneath this, you can see LGB Alliance celebrating it.
	It's not often we feel able to share the headline from Pink News.
	Now, I imagine it isn't, because they're mad, but yeah, this one's nice.
	Boris Johnson thanks them for their incredible hard work.
	Nice.
	Anyway, so moving on.
	So if we go to the next thing here, we have a Ho Who Was Mad pre-conference.
	They now limited their account, but that's not how the internet works, so I just took screenshots out of our Discord and put them back up.
	So as you can see here, this is a person who was arguing...
	Daily reminder that the LGB Alliance is a transphobic, biphobic, against the law to ban conversion therapy and against gay marriage.
	Gays who support this charity, in quotes, the Alliance does not care about you.
	You and them will only contribute to the harm of LGBT people.
	They do understand what the LG and B stand for in this, correct?
	Yes, but there's no T. Therefore they also hate gays, lesbians and bisexuals.
	If we can't have the one, you're not having them all.
	Yes, so this is the argument against LGB, and we'll give them, you know, still man position.
	Okay, what are the complaints against the Alliance?
	What is the bad, bad things they've done?
	If you scroll down on this, there should be some pictures, which is what they provided, of the bad, bad, horrible things they've done.
	What did they say?
	So they said in this one, they said, to those people saying it's homophobic not to be in favour of gay marriage, and have a look at the stats.
	It seems it's rather a small minority who have made their wedding vows.
	And then just a graph of homosexuals who have decided to get married in the UK. And yeah, it's very low.
	Very, very low.
	There seems to be an overwhelming consensus among the LGBT community in terms of relationship status.
	I hate that term.
	I know, I know, I know.
	I don't want to use that term if I can help.
	Apologies.
	I'm going to say the gays of Britain.
	Yes, there you go.
	So the gays are Britain now getting married.
	Yeah, so that's a factual statement by them, and also a factual statement that, well, most gays haven't got married, so I don't know what they've done wrong here.
	I mean, they're not arguing against criminalizing it, presumably, because, well, it doesn't read like that to me, but whatever.
	So if we move on to the next one, they have another quote here, this time from the USA branch.
	Tell them.
	Which is factually true, because if you believe in sex, then yes, if you are bisexual, you want to have sex with the opposite sex and same sex.
	Not gender.
	Yes.
	Two different things.
	But also the fact that they're pulling out there telling me to suck Lady D is not exactly very progressive for being a lesbian.
	I mean, you've just got to hammer it home with these people, really.
	And if we move on to the next one here.
	It's absolutely fine to be bisexual, but lesbian means being exclusively attracted to other women.
	I don't see anything wrong with that.
	So sensible.
	This is the accusations against them.
	I'm trying to give them their day in court because this is what they brought to bear to be like, hey, look, bad people.
	Well, not really.
	And if we go to the last one here, this is the most spicy.
	They say on their website, Affirming a child as trans when they might otherwise grow up to be lesbian, gay, or bisexual is a form of conversion therapy.
	And it's Ooh, that stinks.
	Most of the time, these children will grow out of their gender dysphoria and often grow up to be lesbian, gay, or bisexual.
	This is...
	Sorry.
	Oh, no, that's just factually supported as well.
	There's studies, I think it's what, 85% of teenagers grow out of that phase?
	Yes.
	I mean, this is an accusation that has also been leveled against Stonewall by people like Douglas Murray or these chaps, which is essentially their position is there are no tomboys, there are no gay people anymore, there are just trans people.
	It's like, yeah, you're mad.
	You're dealing with a mad world.
	These things aren't just easily undoable.
	And how does that also not count as its own form of erasure, seeing as these people go on about this sort of stuff constantly?
	Absolutely!
	Which is why the conservative homosexuals in the world are like, yeah, you're kind of just erasing gay people from the earth, and we think you're doing it on purpose, because you don't like us anymore, because you're not part of the progressive stack.
	Isn't that what, what's his face, the guy who wrote black books and Father Ted got in trouble for?
	Graham Linehan.
	Yes, Graham Linehan.
	I imagine yes, and of course he's now part of the extreme right for thinking that sex exists, which, I don't know how that's extreme right, but okay.
	So if we go to the next one, we have the protests outside of the conference, and as you can see here, Pride in Surrey, so anyone in Surrey, hint, hint, John, go down to your local Pride.
	Sorry.
	We have them saying, today we are standing in protest outside the LGB Alliance conference in London.
	And they have two pictures.
	And presumably there were more people?
	Maybe?
	They must be behind the camera, surely?
	Let's go to the next one.
	Yeah.
	Eh.
	So this is Keep Prison Single Sex, who's a great lady I met at the Ideas Conference.
	She's actually the one who blew the whistle on the fact that women are getting longer prison sentences for misgendering rapists.
	Oh, really?
	So, good lady.
	But that's the protest.
	There you go.
	Just two people.
	And evidently whoever took those original two photos must have just got bored.
	Yeah.
	And left.
	So surely there's more.
	Apparently there was at some other period during the day someone else turned up to shout at a building because perfectly sane human beings and this person is screaming at the building.
	You don't understand human rights.
	Let's not spoil it.
	Let's play the clip right now.
	Pink creature!
	Pink creature!
	You're a bunch of hate creatures!
	You do not understand human rights!
	And that's why you're all there!
	Shame on you!
	Shame on you!
	Shame!
	You can smile all you like!
	Right rights are human rights!
	You are hate preachers!
	Wait for it.
	laughter laughter laughter You couldn't have written it to have better timing.
	No, you couldn't.
	Actually, we laughed over something there, which is some guy behind us shouting, LGB is a hate crime?
	Is it now?
	Rightio.
	This is truly some compelling fire and brimstone stuff going on right here.
	Yeah, so this is a...
	I don't know what the difference between drag and transsexuality even is at this point, so I don't even know.
	I'm just going to say this person here.
	So this person turns up and screams that you're hate preachers.
	The gay people in their little conference about gay rights, you're screaming at them that they're the hate preachers here, right?
	Okay.
	And also that you don't understand human rights.
	And if we go to the next link on here, just so we can get that image and look at it...
	You don't understand human rights, screams the person in the race-segregated flag on their chest, and also in some kind of a buyer or something?
	I'm not even sure.
	It's like the kind of thing you'd expect Muslim women to be wearing in the Middle East.
	I don't think this person understands fashion sense, to be perfectly honest.
	I mean, what is that monstrosity?
	I mean, presumably the fashion here is part of...
	Anti-fashion?
	That's what I assume drag is meant to be.
	I don't know if this person's drag or trans.
	Well, most of the...
	I mean, my...
	Whatever it is.
	My girlfriend has watched plenty of RuPaul's Drag Race in the past, and they seem to try and do the big, like, they try and beat fashion statements.
	I can't get over the flag.
	But...
	Sorry, it's just so ugly as well.
	It is.
	It is.
	Sorry, you were saying...
	I was just saying, they seem to try and go with something at least mildly aesthetically pleasing, rather than whatever that is.
	Here's the racially segregated pry flag.
	Okay, you're the hate preachers, are they?
	Not you, with the irregisterly segregated pride flag.
	Rightio, let's move on.
	So let's get to the next one here, which is just someone having a meme about it.
	There is no such thing as a coincidence.
	The fact that you're watching this video means you are energetically aligned with the cringe of the LGBTQ plus agenda.
	Love the reference.
	Let's move on from there.
	So there's also some male sexual threats being made against them, because totally normal.
	So as you can see here, someone tweeting, everyone at the LGB Alliance conference of BS can suck my trans D. And then the lady writing here, Agree or disagree, whatevs, but stop with the coercive, abusive, male pattern sexual threats.
	Not a good look.
	Why are there no adults in the room?
	I mean, that does come across quite shockingly like some toxic masculinity right there.
	Yeah, I mean, we've seen it before as well.
	And this is part of the reason I think the trans activists are going to lose this fight.
	Because look at it.
	Look at the optics of this situation, right?
	Yep.
	So let's go to the next one, just to make this even more stark.
	I mean, look at that.
	For people listening, it's a sign that says, Suck my D, you transphobic C-word.
	Right, okay, so you've got people in a conference, perfectly respectable, they've got the politics of respectability down, and they're there just having their conference talking about gay rights and things in law and all the rest of it.
	And then you've got you guys outskied screaming hate preachers with your signs that are essentially rape threats.
	I mean, you look like the Westboro Baptist Church of Gender.
	I mean, with the God hates F words.
	Yeah, that's not a bad term for it either.
	I mean, that's what these people look like.
	And as you can see the person posting here, a slogan go, this feels like a misjudged way of responding to people who have what you contend is misplaced, unjustified, philosophically confused and motivated by bad faith, fear of male violence.
	Yeah, suck my D, you transphobic C-words.
	Hmm, very progressive.
	It's coming off fantastic, I'm sure.
	If we go to the next one, we can actually see the person who made this sign, so you can get a representation of trans-right activists right there, and that's them.
	Is that man's face lopsided?
	Whoa.
	Oh, sorry.
	Man?
	Oh, sorry.
	Persons.
	That penis belongs to a woman, don't you know?
	You transphobic C-word.
	How very...
	How very conservative of me, I suppose.
	Anyway, I also wanted to mention that this protest was sponsored by Amnesty International, which...
	What?
	So Amnesty International sponsored an event where people turned up with...
	Signs that are essentially rape threats.
	I don't know what else to call that.
	It is literally, give me oral sex or you're a bad person and I'm going to call you some kind of phobe.
	And that's a hate crime in the UK. They can get you a prison sentence as well.
	Not these lads.
	Well, people presumably.
	Well, no, no.
	I mean, if you're arguing that that's a transphobic act, well, therefore combine that with criminal law as written.
	And, well, if you would refuse to suck the D, lesbian, well, you're going to jail.
	I mean, I can see that argument being made and also, well, legally, I mean, how are you going to stop it being made?
	So there's that.
	Also, I'm just the international applauding this.
	But I also wanted to mention this with another civil rights group that has been subverted by leftism.
	So we go to the next one.
	This isn't a premium podcast.
	Carl drew up the, I don't know how you say it, Lundon County School Board.
	So this was a situation in which a daughter of this man here went into a bathroom, ended up getting raped by a trans individual.
	And that's the accusation.
	And I think that's about where I have to end the story.
	And you can go and watch the premium one because we can't do all that on YouTube, apparently.
	And in response, the ACLU have got involved.
	And you think, okay, good.
	They're going to help the parents, right?
	ACLU of Virginia, verified checkmark, three teachers in Lunden County are going to court simply because they don't want to use trans and non-binary students' pronouns.
	Cool, ACLU's going to turn around and defend their rights to free speech.
	We don't have to buy into this ideology.
	You're not going to force us to.
	Great.
	No.
	We and partners filed an amicus brief to tell the court refusing to use a student's pronouns because of who they are is discrimination.
	They sided with compelled speech.
	Because compelled speech is free speech.
	They swear.
	I mean, that's where civil liberties are at in this world.
	Good God.
	Especially the ACLU. I mean, the way they've fallen is ridiculous.
	If we carry on from this, we can just see some more stuff before we wrap this up.
	So we've got the next one here.
	We can have Matt Walsh making the point that the ACLU thinks this is a civil liberty to be referred to by demon pronouns.
	This is libs of TikTok, of course.
	This is a person who insists that they have demon pronouns, demon self and demon and dame.
	What?
	You tell me.
	This is some immense LARPing right here, surely.
	It's not, though, because it's actually real.
	It always is.
	And the ACLU being like, yes, that's civil rights right there.
	You must call them the demon pronouns, you bigot.
	I mean, how do you identify as a demon when presumably these kinds of people typically aren't known for their religious beliefs?
	Yeah.
	So we carry on from this.
	I also wanted to mention the Associated Press denying realities.
	There's a story Carl covered yesterday, so I won't spend too much time on it.
	But this one here, if you can load up this image here, they say, Comedian and videographer Vito Gasolini screams profanities as he engages with peaceful protesters begging him to leave.
	Except this is obviously a lie.
	And as yesterday, we played the clip.
	But I'm going to play it again because it's just so obviously a lie by the footage.
	Remember, peaceful protesters who were just begging him to leave, and then him, who was screaming racial profanities or some kind of profanities at them.
	Let's play the clip.
	Why is he breaking my sign?
	Why is he breaking my sign?
	Don't have a free speech right.
	Don't have a free speech right.
	I'm going to call you.
	He's got a weapon.
	Uh-oh.
	He's got a weapon.
	What is she doing?
	Oh, do you want me to drop my weapon?
	Yes.
	There's my weapon.
	I'm not interrupting anything.
	I'm...
	Yeah, back to the rich shirt.
	Can we get them missed out?
	I'm just here to say that jokes are funny, people.
	Dave Chappelle is a funny guy!
	I love Dave!
	I don't know why all the violence!
	I don't know why all the hate!
	I just love James Chappelle!
	James Chappelle!
	What is she doing with his face?
	I need my poster for it!
	Anyway, yeah.
	So that dude's great.
	But you can see there, he's literally just like, I like Dave Chappelle.
	They took my stick.
	They're the ones who attack him.
	Destroy his property.
	And that woman, well, person...
	Screaming racial profanity.
	Sorry, just profanities.
	Screaming profanities in his face while they might as well have just been going, Repent!
	Repent, sinner!
	Yeah, so Stone Toss made a comic about this that's great.
	Jokes are funny, but that causes real-world harm.
	How?
	And then the SJW punching the guy with the sign.
	That is always the way it manifests.
	Yeah, that's it.
	And if we go to the last one here, apparently they did actually end up retracting this at the AP, which is just hilarious.
	It's like, just don't lie.
	Like, nothing of that was true, nor could you get to a reasonable interpretation of that being the case, unless you were just a liar and thought no one would check.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, that's it.
	There's nothing really more to say here other than the trans rights activists, they're gonna lose.
	Big time.
	And they're nuts.
	Let's carry on.
	Alright then, so carrying on, this next segment, just as a little disclaimer, we might not be able to put on YouTube because of the editorial guidelines being what they are.
	So you might have to check this out on our website.
	So if it doesn't end up being a full clip on YouTube, go to lotusseaters.com and check it out there.
	Or tech, I should say, as well.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	Alright, so, the NBA is supporting and implementing a form of vaccine segregation, it seems.
	So, over the past few months, I believe the NBA league is in season at the moment, so they have began to implement measures separating the vaccinated from the unvaccinated.
	So, this article that we've got here, yep, sounds a bit sketchy, and it is.
	So, this article here says that the League will not require players to receive their full COVID-19 vaccinations for the 2021-22 season.
	However, the NBA will have separate protocols for vaccinated and unvaccinated players in an effort to encourage individuals to receive their vaccination shots.
	Fully vaccinated players will avoid regular testing and can sit together in the locker room at team meals and during travel.
	They also don't have to quarantine when deemed a close contact unless they begin to show symptoms for COVID-19.
	Unvaccinated players, on the other hand, will be required to undergo testing on all days involving practice or travel and they can be tested multiple times on game days.
	Those without vaccines must maintain social distance and quarantine if they come in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19.
	And while the WNBA, I believe that's the Women's Association, announced in June 2021 that 99% of players were vaccinated against COVID-19, the NBA has had some recent public pushback from several stars, including Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins, and Bradley Beal.
	So, yeah, they are basically just going, if you're not vaccinated, don't sit with us.
	You don't get to sit on the cool table.
	They can't, by the sounds of it, it doesn't mention it specifically there, but the fact that it mentions that they can sit together in the locker room, tea meals, and during travel, the fact that it's specifying that for vaccinated players implies to me that the unvaccinated players will not get to enjoy those privileges.
	Which is all based on the idea that if you're vaccinated, you can't spread it.
	Which is demonstrably and empirically untrue.
	As every health agency will agree, that's not the case.
	Yes.
	Because the data from Gibraltar, Israel, or the UK proves that.
	Yes.
	And the Americans also agree.
	And it's another example of them saying, we need to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated, which is a little bit confusing to anybody.
	Riddle me that.
	Yes, exactly.
	Did they say what a percentage was for the male players who didn't take it?
	I couldn't find the information on that.
	I assume it's something similarly high, but there are a few pushing back.
	So this article is from a few weeks ago.
	So I believe that since then the player mentioned that Andrew Wiggins, I believe, has gotten vaccinated and it appears to have been because of pressure and pushback from the league so that he could participate in games.
	But that's just an example of what they're actually doing.
	They're saying, you don't need to be vaccinated.
	But you're going to make life hell until you do.
	Yes, similarly to all of the vaccine mandates in cities like New York and places like that.
	France.
	Yeah, and France, exactly.
	And so it carries on.
	However, Kiri Irving had to participate in the Nets Media Day, I believe he So even though the league as a whole is saying, well you don't need it the certain cities that they're playing in are basically just going
	no and it carries on, if Irving is not vaccinated by the Nets season start, he could potentially miss Brooklyn's 41 home games and the team does not have to pay him for missing those games due to his vaccination status according to Yahoo senior NBA writer Vincent Goodwill, league sources think that Irving will receive the vaccine citing influence he could potentially miss Brooklyn's 41 home games and the team does not have to pay him for missing those Absolutely.
	Pressure to carry on with it, and he can't play games in his own home city, by the sounds of it as well, due to the mandates.
	But one of the most notable stars that I've found who is pushing back against it is this man, Jonathan Isaac.
	We won't play the clip with audio, but just to go over some of the things that he says in here, this was done as part of a press conference.
	He states that the reason that he hasn't got the vaccine is because of the fact that he's already had COVID. Which, as we've mentioned, basically is much better, generally speaking, as a form of immunisation than the vaccination.
	Internationally, basically everyone agrees at this point that having the virus gives you more protection than the double vaccine.
	Well, yeah, it gives you a more comprehensive exposure to everything involved in the virus.
	Lower chance of dying from getting it a second time.
	Yeah.
	He also makes a note that the understanding of COVID and immunity towards it is still evolving, which is true.
	He states that he knows that the vaccine will make potential future infections that have milder symptoms, but he doesn't want to open himself up to the rare, admittedly rare, chances that Of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine, which is fair, because they do happen.
	Just ask Nicki Minaj, his cousin's boyfriend.
	And he also points out that you can still get and spread COVID with the vaccination, and says that being berated for your opinion doesn't exactly make you eager to get vaccinated.
	Being told that you're a bad person and that you're endangering the lives of, oh, think of your grandparents, though, is not exactly the greatest incentive, and being bullied into it is not the best incentive.
	If you skip over again, he put out this tweet for it, which is, we can fight COVID and defend freedom simultaneously, which is true.
	Yes, exactly.
	And it's a pretty American sort of stance on this whole thing, standing up for freedom.
	Yeah, you would have thought it'd be more global freedom flu going on, but no, it's very centralized in America, which is why it's at least good to see that it survives there.
	Yes, exactly.
	And I've looked into this, and it seems that this man, Jonathan Isaac, himself was actually, last year, during the season that they were doing last year, the only member of his team, Orlando Magic, to not take the knee for the national anthem and not wear a Black Lives Matter shirt.
	So, he seems to be, relatively speaking, an independent thinker in the NBA. And if you carry on, he's been on Fox News talking about the blatant miscarriage of vaccine information, and he's been asking some questions that people don't like.
	People don't like asking questions.
	So he's stated in here, Which is...
	A pretty common thing.
	It's a great question.
	It is a great question.
	Why do they have to do it?
	Yeah, and why does CNN have to continually lie and then double down on lies about Joe Rogan?
	Makes you wonder.
	And speaking of Rolling Stone, Jonathan Isaac is not actually the only person that Rolling Stone has been trying to smear in regards to certain beliefs about COVID-19 and the vaccinations, or not even beliefs, opinions and statements.
	Sorry, what is this graphic here?
	I know, it does look a little bit fear-mongery, doesn't it?
	Oh, okay, I thought it was going to be a V. Jesus, okay.
	I was getting vibes of 1984, though.
	No, the person behind that picture is Eric Clapton.
	I know you're not hugely into music.
	I don't think he's...
	You've heard of Eric Clapton, right?
	Mm-hmm.
	I'm bad with music.
	Everyone knows this.
	I mean, you could argue he's written some propaganda music recently.
	He's written some anti-lockdown music recently.
	So, Rolling Stone has been questioning and smearing Eric Clapton on his statements that he's made recently regarding the...
	vaccinations and as you can see there the headline, Eric Clapton isn't just spouting vaccine nonsense, he's bankrolling it because there is a musical association that's formed since last year called Jam for Freedom who have been holding charity concerts and other such things in protest of lockdown mandates, vaccination he's bankrolling it because there is a musical association that's formed since last year called and I believe Eric Clapton has himself put some money into those and gotten in touch and performed for them which is his right to do.
	That's misinformation as well.
	I assume they're just arguing against lockdowns and mandates, which is fine.
	Yeah.
	Nothing wrong with that.
	It should be their right to express themselves in that way, but that's not what the mainstream are enjoying.
	So this article states that in recent months, Clapton has himself become a leading vaccine skeptic, part of a community that Dr.
	Anthony Fauci...
	Because, of course, we have to take his world as gospel, has said is part of the problem, because you're allowing yourself to be a vehicle for a virus to be spreading to someone else.
	And while never explicitly condemning the lockdown, he said, This is Eric Clapton now, and joined Van Morrison for three songs that amount to lockdown protest anthems.
	By way of a friend's social media account, he's also detailed what he called his disastrous experience after receiving two AstraZeneca shots, which he stated propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everybody.
	So the incident I believe happened with that was earlier on this year, come January, February.
	He did actually have the first shot of the vaccine, and he had a terrible response to it.
	I believe he's had some neurological problems in the past that have caused the issue with His ability to move his hands and stuff, which as a guitarist is pretty important for him.
	And then he recovered, and against what he said was his better judgement, went for his second one.
	Hardly what you could describe as anti-vaxxer behaviour, for instance.
	And then the same thing happened.
	He had a terrible response to it, and I believe he's recovered now, but he was at the time in a position where he was worried that he could never play guitar again.
	He's pretty old, but if you've been playing an instrument as passionately and for as long as he has, that would be a pretty damning end result for the end of your life just to be left without the use of your hands and doing the thing that you love.
	So yeah, and it carries on here.
	It brings up some pretty bad stuff that's happened in Eric Clapton's past for some reason, because that's entirely related to his beliefs on vaccinations.
	Smear merchant's going to smear merchant.
	Exactly, smear merchant's going to smear.
	So it says in the summer of 76, Dave Wakeling thought he knew Clapton too.
	Wakeling, who'd gone on to found the English Beat, one of the UK's pioneering ska bands, went to see Eric Clapton at the Eric Clapton's band Blind Faith in Hyde Park.
	But when he saw Clapton at the Odeon Theatre in Birmingham in August 1976, Wakeling was gobsmacked.
	A clearly inebriated Clapton, who, unlike most of his rock brethren, hadn't weighed in on topics like the Vietnam War, began grousing about immigration.
	The concert was neither filmed nor recorded, but based on published accounts at the time and Wakeling's recollection, Clapton began making vile, racist comments from the stage in remarks he's never denied.
	He talked about how the influx of immigrants in the UK would result in the country being a colony within ten years.
	That's a racist remark, is it?
	Apparently so.
	Saying that if you bring in thousands and thousands upon thousands and thousands of people who are not from X land into an area, it becomes colonised.
	What happened to the Native Americans, my friends?
	Mr.
	Rolling Stones.
	Well, they don't like to point out their own contradictions.
	That's also racist commentary, is it?
	Maybe.
	Okay.
	But yeah, he also went on an extended jag about how foreigners should leave Great Britain, get the wogs out, get the coons out, is what he is reported to have said.
	That you could say as a racist statement.
	If in that speech he did say it, and did say other racist things, there are many variations on this speech that I've seen over the years, because of the fact it wasn't recorded, because of the fact it was mainly told second-hand by people who were there and heard about.
	So the whole thing is hearsay.
	Yeah, the whole thing is hearsay.
	It seems that he did make some kind of speech where he was saying about how he supported Enoch Powell, and supported the Rivers of Blood speech, and other such things like that, which is how you can see he ended up with the being a colony in ten years remarks.
	stuff, disavow.
	But it's very unclear as to what he exactly said.
	And once again, this is purely a case of smear merchantry where the only reason that they have brought this up is to say, well, he says this now, look at what he said in the past.
	Which is not relevant to what he's saying now about vaccines.
	I mean, immigration policy has nothing to do with vaccines.
	Exactly.
	But they bring it up anyway.
	So, yeah, that's what they've been saying about Eric Clapton.
	And once again, the Rolling Stone is a pretty rubbish publication nowadays anyway.
	I mean, they're the guys who literally ran the, what was it, the Mattress Girl story?
	Do you remember that?
	What was the Mattress Girl story?
	It was a girl walking around with a mattress on campus, claiming that she was gang-raped, and then, like, a bunch of guys ended up losing their position at the university because of it, and it turned out it was a complete bull.
	Well, of course.
	So, they're literal fake news.
	Yeah, fake news people.
	But yeah, so along those lines, along the lines of the segregation among vaccinations, excuse me, the Seattle Police and Fire Departments have recently fired almost 400 people for vaccine non-compliance.
	So, in this article from Fox News, the Seattle Police Department officers and firefighters who have been fired for not complying with the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate marched up the steps of City Hall to turn in their boots in a grand gesture of, well, go F yourselves.
	If this is what you're going to do to us.
	Footage taken from the Seattle City Hall and posted to social media shows dozens of people walking up the steps with boots in their hands, preparing to turn them in after they were let go for not complying with the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
	The scene comes after the city's deadline for the first responders to receive the vaccine expired at midnight on Tuesday, leaving many in the department without jobs after failing to comply.
	And the city has made the statement after having done this that it won't affect response times, we swear.
	And it's actually taken about, just like Southwest Airlines, it won't affect the flights, we swear.
	Yes.
	And after last year, after all the riots, and after wasn't Chaz in Seattle, do they really want to be getting rid of almost 10% of their police force?
	Honestly, they should probably just put some walls up around Seattle and just let it go at this point.
	Just go full escape from New York there.
	Yeah, so 91% of the police and 93% of the firefighters are jabbed and will retain their positions, but those are still some pretty hefty losses from what I can see.
	And once again, whether it'll affect response times, I guess we'll just have to see.
	And I think I can put a pretty good guess as to whether it will or not.
	And there is some...
	There is some silver lining to this, obviously not in terms of their job prospects, just in terms of the spirit of the people who were fired.
	They seem to be still dedicated to the public because what these people did, the firefighters and the police officers, they went out and you can see here, they went out and decided to feed the homeless, which is very nice of them.
	Damn anti-vaxxers.
	I know, exactly.
	Trying to destroy our society as we know it.
	Basically trying to kill us all.
	Yeah, so vaccine mandates are still massively affecting people.
	They're still massively negatively affecting people in all sorts of areas where you might not want, and it's causing segregation amongst the NBA. So yeah, not much more to say on that.
	Anyway, let's move on to the leftist hypocrisy on masks.
	Well, it's not even a proxy at this point.
	Like, you know.
	So, there's a huge amount of leftist...
	Let's do that again.
	Leftist.
	There's a huge amount of leftist political theatre around mask usage.
	So, I mean, the hypocrisy part, we've been over a million times, everyone's seen it.
	Politician, oh, we should wear masks, then doesn't give a toss, or goes to sleep with their...
	I mean, leftist philosophy is quite hypocritical in the first place.
	But they don't care about hypocrisy, so that's not a thing.
	So really, I'm looking at the political theatre of all this, and just the stupid, stupid decision, especially by the Labour Party in this particular instance, that I want to go through.
	So we mentioned this before, but we'll have it up again.
	A pictorial manifestation of the ethical differences between the left and the right...
	What do we have on the left?
	We have the first image there, the left being holy and pure and sacred, all wearing their masks in Parliament, very crowded.
	They want to save lives.
	Yes.
	Oh, the holy left.
	They have the evil, the satanic right over here.
	Oh my goodness.
	Not wearing masks.
	All of this in the context of them all standing for a moment's silence about a MP who was brutally murdered by an Islamist.
	Conversation about the Islamification of the UK or Islamism.
	Not happened yet.
	It's not going to happen next week or the week after or the year after.
	Not going to happen ever.
	So they're not going to talk about that.
	But they are going to have this big thing about masks that they want to do.
	So this is the political theatre as you can see.
	And if we go to the next one, I mention the fact that it's all about David's murder, because also this went on, I have to mention, I didn't know where else to put it, which is Zahra Sultana, the Islamo-leftist, standing outside.
	This evening, outside Parliament, I joined a rally to say, refugees are welcome here, with a sign saying, together with refugees.
	Five days.
	Timing.
	David was murdered by a refugee.
	Labour MP goes out, with a bunch of other Labour MPs as well, she's not the only one, to celebrate refugees are welcome here.
	I understand that you've got to virtue signal.
	You've got to win those political points, but...
	Virtue?
	Well...
	What's the virtue in this?
	Well, from the leftist perspective...
	I think they are not stupid, and I think that they are not as dumb in this case to know that nothing's going on here.
	I think they're proud of themselves.
	I honestly think they are that evil.
	But anyway, this is the holy perfect left who never do nothing.
	So let's go to the next one here.
	So we have a Labour MP talking about masks, so she's responding to that tweet about the holy left versus the evil right.
	It is so sad that this has become a platy political issue, with the stark photo showing the dividing lines.
	This is simply a public health issue, and with high rates of COVID, wearing masks in a confined space is a very sensible precaution.
	Is it?
	Is it though?
	Well, I mean, there is huge amounts of fear.
	Again, coming out of the Labour Party.
	The left-wing party.
	We've got the next one here.
	We have our Labour MP here, John Athworth.
	50,000 COVID cases yesterday.
	10,000 children infected every single day.
	The wall of defence is falling down.
	Get ready for the hell that is going to come.
	I don't know why he couldn't just tweet the graph of people going into hospital.
	You know, I think we care about because that's where you're going to end up dying or where we can see a holy NHS. The next one on this, just show the graph.
	You can scroll down on this one.
	Yeah, not going to tweet that.
	Never going to show that.
	Wouldn't be particularly politically expedient, would it?
	No, it wouldn't help his fear-mongering, so not interested in that one, is he?
	Or we could carry on, so let's go to the next one here, which is the projections that were given to the government to say, oh, what if we don't lock down?
	We're going to end up in this red line or the blue line.
	Here's the lowest projections there on the green line.
	You know, things get much worse.
	We might be on the lowest sections of the green line.
	Oh my god.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Everything could get so much worse and we'll end up being in what was predicted to be the safest scenario.
	The most optimistic, as this person points out.
	The unwashed masses might infect us.
	So if we move to the next one here, I just want to say, shut up.
	Just shut up, because we all know.
	This is actually responding to that Labour MP, and of course it's an image of the Labour Party conference.
	Of all of the frontbench MPs sat there, all with no masks, in their conference of several thousand, all with no masks, and then the more going to parties afterwards, all with no masks.
	They're not interested in any of this.
	It is just political theatre.
	And we know this because they live-streamed the f***ing thing.
	So if we go to the next one, you know, I watched the full thing.
	We clipped it.
	God bless you for doing so.
	For the amazing segments like this, in which a lady proclaims the fact, I think, what did she claim?
	She claimed that, what is it, her ADHD explains the fact that she's fat?
	Pfft.
	I don't think that's true, lady.
	It's got an overactive arm, it just keeps shoveling it straight into my mouth.
	And then does socialist fists.
	Yes, comrade.
	Yeah, again, I mean, we saw the whole thing.
	The whole thing is just a theatre, and they know it.
	This is not to say that masks cannot play a role in dealing with COVID-19, YouTube.
	But it's also just the fact that, well, if no one takes any of this seriously, well, the mass usage isn't doing what you're saying it's going to do, no, would it by definition?
	So they get criticised for this, rightfully, and one of them went on Julia Hartley Brewer's show to talk about this.
	I don't think he was prepared for it, but she demolished him, I believe.
	So if we go to the next one, we can see the interview on Talk Radio.
	And she decided to ask him, well, why do you, right now, arguing that everyone in Britain should be wearing masks 24-7 because COVID, and yet at your own conference, you don't give a toss?
	Let's play the clip.
	The Labour Party would support, you know, mandatory face masks in crowded public areas.
	Why was that not enforced at the Labour Party conference then?
	Because I was fascinated to see that Labour MPs, front bench included, all donned their masks for Prime Minister's questions.
	Indeed, on Monday, they returned for the tributes to Sir David Amos.
	You were, I mean, barely a face to be seen on the Labour benches.
	But two weeks ago, I was at Labour Party conference with you.
	Barely saw a mask there.
	People doing karaoke, hugging each other in crowded parties.
	No social distancing whatsoever and no good ventilation.
	People crowded on top of each other.
	Why does the Labour Party think that everyone else should wear masks but you don't unless you're putting on the theatre at PMQs?
	Well, it sounds like you had some more intimate interactions than I had at Labour Party Conference because I did have a mask on.
	Did you?
	Did you wear a mask all the time at Labour Party Conference?
	Because I didn't see any other front benches.
	I think Ed Miliband I spotted once in a restaurant wearing a mask.
	Well, I wouldn't say all the time, but I would say, of course, to get into the conference itself, you have to show clearly a double vaccination status or have a negative COVID test.
	Not after Sunday you didn't.
	Well, if you slip through, Julia, I won't report you to our own.
	No, no, Jonathan, no, I've still got...
	No, Jonathan, Jonathan.
	I still have the email from the Labour Party conference organisers stating that they were no longer from Monday onwards going to be checking whether anyone's vaccine status or whether they'd had a negative lateral flow.
	I don't show my vaccine status.
	That's my own personal business.
	I showed my lateral flow negative test on Sunday.
	I was not asked for after that.
	A negative lateral flow from Saturday ain't any use on a Wednesday when people are quite happy at the conference centre.
	And so there's no question at all that, you know, we saw the likes of Angela Rayner and others doing karaoke in a crowded nightclub on the Tuesday night.
	There were not COVID safe measures in place from Sunday onwards.
	Well, you perhaps have had a different experience to me, Julian, but what I would say is, is this whataboutry really that helpful?
	We've had a thousand people die in the last seven days.
	Got him.
	Got him.
	I fully got him there.
	Lie alive, hands on fire.
	Just kept walking it back.
	Yeah, and then having to default to, yeah, well, people are dying, Julian.
	Just throwing out whataboutisms.
	What are you on about?
	What about?
	What about what?
	Well, the fact that you're like, yes, mandate for everyone, and also when the cameras are on, a Prime Minister's questions will wear them.
	Any other time of the day, eh, we're not so inclined.
	We should be exempt.
	Why?
	Just you.
	Just Labour MPs, Labour members.
	I mean, again, the point being, and she found the images here of him at conference not wearing a mask in multiple places, because he's just a liar.
	Just caught.
	Just caught red-handed here.
	And also the point being that thousands of people gather at Labour Conference and it went on for a week and every time you spend all day there interacting with thousands of people and then you go off to your restaurants or pubs or bars or wherever the hell else as you would do and interact with other people in these other settings and then you meet up the next day and then the next day and they're not testing every day.
	Again, as a right-winger, I don't care!
	Don't give a toss!
	You know, hang out!
	Be free!
	That would be my position.
	Not your position, is it?
	Which is why you're demanding that we have a mandate across the entire country for everyone to constantly have their faces muzzled.
	For what reason?
	Well, one, you don't seem to care about.
	That's for sure.
	So if we carry on on this as well, we go to the next one.
	I can't remember what's up next, but I think it's more of him being a complete moron.
	So we go to the next one.
	I know, it's the Labour Conference frontbenches, as you can see.
	Julia making the point here that literally everyone was ignoring this.
	Scanning through that image, I don't see a single mask.
	I can see one woman surrounded by people not wearing masks.
	I was like, yep.
	There we are.
	That's two weeks ago.
	Didn't give a F. So, let's carry on.
	So, if we go to the next one as well, there's also the fact that they went out...
	I wanted to mention as well, he carried on with this interview.
	So, after doing that one and getting destroyed, he decided to go on Kay Burley's show, for God knows what reason, and double down, in which he's like, yes, but this water belter isn't very helpful, is it?
	Helpful for what?
	Just throwing out a stock term doesn't invalidate criticisms.
	Yeah, but also the fact that it's not very helpful.
	I mean, helpful to the Labour Party, no.
	Because you are awful and retarded and keep showing it.
	Has this man been watching internet debates and he's been getting his tactics from there?
	What if I just say, that's a fallacy and move away.
	Don't explain.
	No true Scotsman, sir.
	No true Scotsman.
	Those memes were making fun of you, calling you a Chad.
	Not literally.
	Anyway, so again, it's also absurdist to have him an interview with Kay Burley.
	Kay Burley.
	Remember this?
	Remember her?
	What about her?
	Remember she wasn't on Sky News for quite a long period?
	Remember what that was?
	No, I don't, actually.
	Because she's also a hypocrite.
	Oh, well...
	She had a big old pie...
	Oh, yes!
	...in the middle of the lockdown.
	I do remember this, actually.
	She was like, yeah, alright, come round to this event, and then they went out somewhere else, and then somewhere else, with all of their friends from Sky News, again with Beth Rigby and all the rest of the stupid, stupid political theatres.
	And there's that.
	So, of course, you know, one liar interviews another liar about being liars.
	Hooray!
	So let's carry on.
	So, we want to go to Jacob Rees-Mogg, who...
	So they make this argument.
	This guy goes and gets out these terrible interviews.
	And then back in the House, where they're meant to be continuing this, Jacob Rees-Mogg had them stand up and show him that, well, your minister recommends masks.
	I've got my mask, Mr.
	Mog.
	Why don't you?
	And he shuts him down brilliantly.
	Again, from the channel Parliamentarian who does a lot of these clips.
	I want to give a shout out to because he does a good job there.
	Because it's very boring to watch this stuff.
	Oh, yes.
	I know.
	So anyway, let's go to the clip on this.
	Health Secretary yesterday said, unfortunately not to this House, but to a press conference, that it's crucial for people to act responsibly, wear masks in crowded places to avoid future restrictions.
	I give the members opposite, including the Right Honourable Gentleman, the opportunity to see one can have a very nutty matching mask to go with one's outfit.
	The Right Honourable Gentleman may wish to talk to his tailor about what they can construct.
	I strongly urge him to do so, because we do seriously need to set the highest possible best example to the public if we are to avoid the winter crisis that none of us wants.
	Thank you, Madam Deputy.
	Leader of the House.
	Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, and I'm grateful to the Honourable Lady for the tribute she paid.
	Masks is a very interesting matter, Madam Deputy Speaker, because I may retweet after this session, you know how there's amazing modern technology on social media, a picture from the Socialists' Conference that took place recently.
	Ah!
	And do you know the most extraordinary thing?
	There are all these luminaries of the opposition, which is some of the most formidable figures in British political life.
	And their faces are naked and unadorned.
	And what I have heard about the drinks party sponsored by the Daily Mirror at the Socialist Party conference, well, I don't know that they were able to get the drinks through their masks.
	That may have been the reason why masks are worn more by socialists when there are television cameras around than when they are not going to be seen.
	I mean, absolutely correct.
	Yep.
	Alright, give them full props for that.
	At the same time, of course, this does elicit to the criticism of the Conservatives, which should not be ignored, which is the fact that they are the ones who did the lockdowns, they're the ones who mandated masks for quite some time within indoor buildings, but they've now gotten rid of them.
	It's also absurdist to see the little clerk there wearing a mask, and no one else is in the bloody building, but okay.
	Yeah, there's that.
	But not to forget, well, we're in a period now in which the only mask mandate I know of in Britain is currently on the London Underground by Mayor Sadiq Khan.
	Labour Party.
	What's he doing?
	Out clubbing with Labour MPs.
	Clubbing.
	He's out clubbing for Christ's sake.
	I mean, there was photo opportunities.
	Of course he was.
	Yes, why not?
	You can see he's bragging about it as well in this photo.
	The fact that he shared this on his own timeline.
	Yeah, so he says here, promises made, promises delivered, and it's in response to someone talking about him going clubbing with 80s music or something.
	He's bragging about the situation.
	If you scroll up on this, just to show the fact that...
	That's right, I can have fun!
	Yes, unlike you.
	Get lost!
	Anyway, so there's that.
	I mean, this is before we get into other stuff as well, so if we carry on with the next one here, you can see an MP also mocking someone for getting COVID, which was a weird thing to do, but okay.
	And then the response, of course, is that, yeah, well, you don't wear masks either, you moron.
	So if we go to the next link, we have, I think it's Guido Fork pointing out that, yeah, here's you at the conference.
	Having drinks.
	No one wear a mask.
	Because this is all political theatre for you, people.
	And it's just unbelievable, and it just keeps going and keeps going.
	And at least it now is at least one party that's doing it, rather than both.
	That's Silver Line.
	I'm sure for every single person who's said something like this, you can find innumerable photos of them, completely maskless, where they thought no one would be paying too much attention.
	Yes, such as these two.
	Yes.
	Anyway, he responds in this, underneath this tweet where he says, Well, I went to an event where everyone was required to either be double jabbed or have a negative test to gain access.
	And Guido rightfully just being like, Yeah, not only did they stop monitoring that after two days, that photo was taken in the Hilton Hotel, which did not ask for proof of vaccination on entry, because they can't, because that hasn't passed.
	It's not allowed to do such a thing.
	So just again, another liar caught out, and yet again, from a left-wing party.
	And then this is before we even get into, of course, Biden and AOC and all the rest of them.
	So the last link here, just to make the point as well, this is global.
	You have this one here, which he instituted the mass mandate and they just broke it because he doesn't care.
	It's not for him.
	It's not for them.
	It's for you.
	And again, not that they even argue that it seems to do much for their selves because they don't wear them.
	You'd think, given his age, that Biden would be very enthusiastic to wear the masks.
	At all places.
	You'd say that.
	I saw a picture recently with Her Majesty the Queen meeting Bill Gates, John Kerry, all the rest of it.
	None of them wear masks either.
	They're all in their 90s to 70s.
	The young bracket.
	The bracket not at risk, I'm sure.
	Yes.
	I wonder what the graphs have to say about them.
	Not very positive.
	Anyway, let's move on.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Okay, so I retract my apology from yesterday.
	It turns out you degenerates absolutely love this stuff.
	My subscriber count went up like 50% in like a day.
	So yeah, I guess I'm doing YouTube now.
	A huge thank you to the Lotus Ears community.
	You guys are the ones who made this happen.
	So, you know, I appreciate it very much.
	So if I'm going to do this seriously, I think I need a proper avatar.
	So is there anybody in the Lotus Ears community that's good with digital art that can make me a cool avatar or would happily pay whatever the going rate is?
	Reach out to me, let me know.
	Thank you.
	Cheers, guys.
	Bass Tape, yes.
	So, any graphic artist, you know where to contact.
	Bass Tape, go to Bass Tape on YouTube, presumably, and then his email in the About section there.
	I don't know, I just think it's cool.
	Also, I still issue my advice again, though, which is, mate, if you want that to stick around, you better be careful with...
	How long you keep those up and how many you have, because if you get three in a short period, your channel is gone and ain't coming back.
	Otherwise, keep them up because it's good fun.
	Also, look out for this weekend section.
	The link you sent in about the Guardian story did turn out to be very good fun.
	It's about femcells.
	Oh, I think I read that one as well.
	Yeah.
	Ooh.
	This is like, well, the incels, terrorists.
	Femcels, worthy of sympathy and support.
	Absolutely.
	Lookism is a horrible thing in our society.
	People born with bad looks are, especially the women, but they're men.
	The ugly, filthy men.
	I know, it's just...
	It was so unbelievably, just like, doesn't give a toss about how it looks.
	Lookism as well.
	Jesus.
	Lookism.
	Just take a word, ism.
	Yeah.
	Instant oppression.
	But no, lookism only harms women.
	Yes.
	Lookism never harms men.
	Ugly men don't exist.
	Just terrorists.
	Oh, I know a few that would argue differently.
	No, they're just terrorists, mate.
	Just levels of terrorism as well.
	Oh, I should probably get on the phone to some Prevent or something in that case.
	Just going 0 out of 10, just...
	I was going to make a joke.
	Don't!
	I can't make that joke now, I just realised!
	I'm sure people could guess.
	Let's go to the next video.
	What up, guys?
	I'm just out enjoying freedom with my niece.
	It's wonderful being at Ape.
	I was waiting for a Sucks to be you.
	Yeah, I feel like we're being dabbed on.
	We really are.
	I do want to go to Denmark at some point.
	I mentioned before, because we were talking about Christiania, and she was correcting me.
	I don't know if I told you about this.
	There's a section in the middle of Copenhagen, Christiania, which has a whole weird thing going on.
	Weird thing?
	People would just be able to buy weed there, and it's a whole strange situation.
	I'm not going to say for definite, because last time I did, I got told off getting it wrong.
	Oh, fairs.
	Love to go.
	Also, apparently the metro there is self-running.
	There's no people driving the trains.
	Cool.
	So as someone who had a...
	Hi.
	As someone who had flight lessons for one of my birthdays, I can tell you the exact reason why pilots would not actually want to have the vaccine.
	You see, one of the actual health complications is blood clots, which can require amputations in order to fix, so you don't end up just having the appendage just suffer from necrosis.
	Why is this an issue?
	You need both arms and both legs to fly a plane or helicopter, or else you're going to have a very difficult time very quickly.
	I like the kitty.
	Yes.
	What he was saying makes perfect sense to me.
	Yeah, I did read that.
	I can't remember if it was before or after we did the segment on Southwest Airlines, but of course the complication there being like, I didn't know, or for certain, nor can we say that without getting into trouble.
	Yeah.
	But thanks for letting us know for certain.
	Follow-up from yesterday.
	If you move to a different country, you should integrate.
	That's a given.
	We all know that.
	The thing on my mind is more that, even if you're born somewhere, live there for 18 to 20 years, it's not a given that you'll be integrated.
	Especially in these times, with ever-present internet access and an abundance of readily available international media, entertainment, food and culture to enjoy.
	Thus, immigration has failed once the first family of first-generation immigrants haven't fully integrated to the point where their children feel apart from the local culture.
	Oh, uh, speaking of international media, don't worry, I'm not about to cancel my gold to your membership or anything, even if you are all foreigners.
	Yeah.
	He's got us there.
	No, but there are some great points in there.
	I mean, integration is such a complex and difficult task to do to humans, and that's why I can't understand the EU's fourth point or third point or whatever it is, in which they want the free movement of people throughout the EU. They're not goods.
	You can't create and destroy these things at will, nor can they just be replaced with anything else and it be the same.
	Every single person has a life, every single person has baggage, and that includes cultural baggage from before, so they can't just easily just throw aside.
	I'm making the point, though, that essentially your argument has fell upon the first generation not integrating, and then they have their kids who are also growing up in their ethnic enclaves.
	Yeah, I mean, we've experienced that very much in Britain, and this is why I'd love to have some kind of debate in which we talk about how to de- I mean, that conversation essentially comes down to how do you destroy those ethnic enclaves?
	Because if you can spread these people throughout the country, let's say, of cultural group X, I mean, it doesn't even have to be Islamification, it could be Russification or Sinusization, depending on what country you're in.
	If you can take that group that you need to integrate, spread them out, have them be part, intermarry and whatnot, then you can get rid of that cultural group from being an enclave and instead integrate them into part of the whole.
	But the government doesn't seem ready to talk about that.
	No.
	So, we just keep going on with the stabbings.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So, I mean, I do have a bit of a black pill to dispense, and the one is that I don't think we're going to be getting out of this mess anytime soon, not for a while, because Jordan Peterson, the prophet Jordan Peterson, did say...
	That the highly intellectual types who obviously have to come to terms with their arrogance and fat chance of that happening.
	And this is a guy whose client at one point was Elon Musk's former roommate.
	So he has been around those upper echelons of people.
	Yeah.
	I don't really know what to say about that.
	There is a little bit of a problem with intellectuals.
	I hate them.
	Yeah, I forget.
	It was either Hayek or Conquest in Reflections on a Ravage Century.
	That was Conquest.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I think it was maybe Conquest who said that the problem with intellectuals is they overestimate their own intelligence.
	Yeah.
	Which is always true, and they overestimate the importance of intelligent-sounding ideas to society as a whole.
	You can put forward something that sounds very interesting and very intellectual, but it won't necessarily work.
	There is such a lack of pipeline there between people thinking about, like, okay, here's the theory, and then, you know, how does this work in application?
	What are all the other parts of it?
	They just give up, and they don't do any of that.
	It's like, well, how do you think this is going to work, you moron?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, yeah, I agree.
	Also, was that PPSH? Like an old-style one, in the sense of that?
	I couldn't quite make it out, but...
	I couldn't tell.
	Yeah, it would be good if people did good things, but because Hassan is spreading socialism, he doesn't have to actually live up to his principles.
	He's already utilitarianly positive, so it would be super erogatory for him to do anything else, and putting on my good faith goggles, anyone criticizing Hassan is basically a fascist.
	Sounds reasonable.
	What's the impression there?
	Is that Vosch?
	I don't think...
	It might be.
	I know that Vosch was apparently simping for Hassan on a debate recently.
	I think that was maybe just a more general valley girl.
	It might have just been more of a general valley girl.
	Like, well, actually, I need to tell you about the thing.
	No, I don't know if you're familiar, but this chap, he always does very good impersonations.
	Oh, okay.
	So I'm trying to guess what the impression is.
	I mean, to be fair, Vosch is, what, Beverly Hills?
	So maybe he's a bit valley...
	Yeah, but...
	I don't really know what else to say about that.
	I mean, the Hassan thing is...
	It's almost not even worth saying anything, is it?
	Because it's just so blatantly obvious what's wrong with that.
	It's like...
	Just move on.
	Do you want him to die?
	Do you want him to go homeless and die?
	I still can't remember how his house is, what was it?
	It was like less than 10% of his yearly earnings.
	I thought it was $3 million or something like that, but then again his Twitch earnings alone almost made up for that.
	Like $400,000, when you calculate what it possibly is with the merch sales on top of the Twitch and whatnot, it was like $400,000 a month.
	And when you add all that up, it's like, could you imagine buying a house for a tenth of your salary?
	No.
	It's not going to happen, is it?
	No.
	And not for us.
	No, because I'm not a socialist millionaire.
	Anyway, let's move on.
	Hey guys, I'm just in the middle of packing up for a house move, and I remember that Callum's always talking about chef's knives, and so I thought, I'll just show you mine.
	Get wrecked, boat chefs.
	I can always appreciate good knives.
	I never used to, like, my brother's, I don't know if he still has all his chef's knives or not, I should probably buy them off him if he does, because I could use some more.
	Anyway, we'll do the next one.
	So the most more sadistic part of me is saying that if we do bring back the death penalty instead of doing it the humane way we should do it by the standards of poetic justice so if a terrorist runs over a bunch of people with a car then he's sentenced to death by being run over by a car too or if Justin Trudeau were to say be sentenced to death to for persecuting his people by Vaccine mandate laws and he should be poked to death until he dies and gets
	gangrene.
	Something like that.
	Yeah, so I think it was Binary Surfer making the argument that, well, you could do that on terrorist grounds as well.
	Yeah.
	In a way that, so you would take the chap who killed David Amos and David Amos asked for the death penalty against such people.
	Yep.
	In accordance with his wishes.
	What do you do?
	I mean, the British thing is to just hang them by the neck until dead, and the American thing is to be shot, or whatever.
	But there was a binary surfers argument where it was like, well, could you not just do it against their religious beliefs, purposely?
	So in this case it would be a rope, I don't know, dipped in pig fat or something like that.
	Overfeed them pork?
	Yeah, so it's not only that they die, because with a terrorist, you've got the notions, usually in religious terrorists, that they're going to paradise or whatever.
	Like a form of martyrdom.
	Right, so you want to make sure that when they are killed, they end up, in their own minds, going to hell as well.
	Yes.
	That being the extra punishment.
	I like that.
	That's not a bad idea.
	It doesn't work for every kind of terrorist, of course.
	It only works for the religious kind.
	But, you know, it'd be a good disincentiviser as well, the idea, well, if we do catch you doing this, you're going to hell, and we'll make sure.
	Yes.
	I don't know how it would work as part of public policy as a deterrent, but I hope it would, because it makes sense.
	If we were to do that sort of symbolic justice, televise it, I wouldn't go that far, but anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Finally got my rifle.
	You get to see the neutered version for California.
	Look at this stupid thing.
	And then my little tiny magazine that you can barely see.
	Really nice.
	But I did get it a little later this night, which is kind of cool.
	And I can take this off, but you know, I won't do that because of legal reasons.
	For cats, you know, the Scottish foal is the one that has cute little folded ears.
	It's technically a genetic defect due to inbreeding, but there's less cartilage, and so the ear like folds down on itself, and so I'm guessing that has something to do with the way dogs' ears flop up and down, depending on their genetics.
	Yeah, okay.
	That's the best argument I've heard so far.
	What is that?
	You're saying I know what it is, but that little bit of plastic that's out there for no reason.
	Why?
	Surely that just makes it awkward to hold.
	I don't really know what...
	It looks like a defect from the manufacturer or something.
	Yeah, they forgot to break it off or something.
	Maybe it's got some utility, who knows.
	Well, no, she said it was a legal reason.
	Oh, okay.
	You don't want that there, presumably.
	So...
	Maybe it's to make it more difficult to use comfortably?
	I don't know.
	In our state, we allow terrorists, but not terrorists with comfort.
	Yes, exactly.
	We'll have the grips with little spikes on or something.
	A little knife on the trigger.
	Every time you pull the trigger, you have to cut yourself.
	Yeah, a little cut down on mass shootings.
	You know, a prediction in 10 years are going to do that.
	Also, I found the little mag kind of cute as well, a little dinky magazine.
	I imagine that's also a state requirement.
	Tony D and Little Joan here with another Legend of the Pines, Lucy the Elephant, a roadside attraction built in 1881 by James Lafferty as a gimmick to sell real estate in South Atlantic City, now known as Margate, New Jersey.
	Lucy survived all these years, including an attempt to tear her down in the 1970s.
	Now a historical landmark, she's currently under renovations again and will reopen Memorial Day weekend 2022.
	What's inside?
	Is it a restaurant?
	Or...
	Because he said it was to promote, um...
	Real estate.
	Real estate, but I assume that's the surrounding real estate.
	It did have windows on it, so...
	Is someone actually living there?
	Well, it can't be if it's having renovations and then can get visited.
	Well, he didn't say it could get visited, so...
	I don't know.
	I'd like to know if I could go and eat there, you know?
	Like eating the elephant.
	Hmm.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hey guys, my conversation about how social justice is evil went pretty well with my boss.
	But he obviously doesn't agree with me.
	He said he'd be interested to see some of my sources.
	So I'm probably going to recommend the Dave Rubin, Larry Elder interview.
	We talked about men's mental health and we talked about redlining.
	If you have any sources about any of those or how social justice is evil that I can send to a leftist that aren't too degrading, please recommend them.
	Thanks.
	Redlining, I know the actual Justice Warrior on YouTube has a few good videos about that.
	Other than that, I don't really know much about the men's health sources to send to her.
	On the Larry Elder interview, I don't know if he'll watch the full thing, but if he doesn't or he says, oh, it's not long or something, you should probably clip the bit in which Dave starts arguing about the black people are mistreated by the cops, and that's racism, but then Larry just takes his head and makes him look at it and goes, where is it?
	Like, where is the racism?
	You know the clip I'm talking about, where he's like, well, name it.
	And he's like, well, you know, mistreated by the cops.
	And he's like, no, name the situation.
	Like, come on, get specific.
	I think that was the beginning of Ruben's shift.
	Yeah, he says that's a big moment that changed his mind because he was like, ah, crap, I never actually thought about the specifics of this.
	It's just a thing I've had in my mind.
	And fair play to him that he actually went, maybe I should reconsider a few things.
	Yeah.
	That doesn't often happen.
	That's a great idea.
	I also love how it's, because it's always the, well, take the FBI statistics, for example, that black Americans make up 50% of the murders in the United States in any given year.
	This has happened for like five or ten years in a row now.
	And therefore racism?
	Okay, so name the innocent murderers, or name the thousands of white murderers that we've not found, and the evidence that they've done it.
	It's the classic question as well, if you care so much, who are they killing?
	Who are most of these murders killing?
	Sure, but I just wanted to stick on the thing of just, okay, you're saying that it's disproportionate, therefore racism.
	Okay, then find me the guilty white murderers and the evidence to prove it, which is what is required for all these cases, and we'll put them away.
	Or you can find me the miscarriages of justice of thousands of black men who are being done for murder in the United States, and we'll let them go.
	Yeah.
	They're not going to do that because they know the statistics are reflective of the crime.
	Of the ones that I've seen that try and characterize certain ones as miscarriages of justice, they tend to just be leaving out a lot of very pertinent details more than telling the full story.
	They must be innocent because of this.
	But it's always, you know, there are of course miscarriages of justice that happen, but it's always like one of five cases of them later, right?
	It's never the thousands you're going to have to do to get those proportions to where you need them to be.
	And it's like, well, okay, yeah, it's because crime is crime.
	It is not because police just hate black people.
	That's not why you end up with such a disproportionality.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Anyway, I know that's kind of got off topic from a question.
	I just don't...
	I can't do anything specific right now that I would say for someone like him.
	I'd like to see it here and, let's say, see his response to the Larry Elder one, because I think that really gets to the crux of the issue, which is quality of outcome doctrine.
	Let's get to the next one.
	In memoriam, Sir David Amis.
	Huh.
	Okay, that turned out incredibly wholesome.
	Yeah, that was really nice.
	That also brings me back to the Crown video, actually.
	The Bantz with the Catholics is what it is, which is Bantz.
	I'm sure you guys get it.
	Let's get to the written comments on the site.
	So on the trans activism stuff, Matthew Howan says, will the LGB kick everyone else out of the group?
	No.
	They accept members from wherever.
	They don't care.
	They just find the leftist cult objectionable, which is...
	I can sympathise.
	They have actually quite a few trans members and supporters as well, of course.
	Well, reality is reality.
	Trans people are not the same as trans activists.
	Yes.
	So Ross Diggle says, I've been joking since the late 90s that I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
	The fact that people think this is a reality is a worrying view of society.
	All you need to do is label yourself, so...
	I mean, we saw it.
	They've made, like, a flag now for lesbians who like men.
	I was like...
	Think about that.
	There's already words for those sorts of people.
	Usually called straight.
	I mean, is that straight pride?
	Oh, there's a flag.
	Okay.
	Hang on.
	Hang on.
	We could subvert this.
	We'll take those to the straight pride parade.
	Well, we could just have the super straight parade.
	Yeah, but that's what I mean.
	I think they're still doing it.
	I don't know.
	I still get their emails sometimes, but I never get a chance to read through them.
	So, George Happ says, The alphabet civil war has been a joy to watch.
	The only downside is that the probably conservatives, in quotes, will side with the man-hating feminists and will reinforce their politics of fear, not just against the T's, but all men.
	What they should do is sit back and enjoy the show, but white knighting is still a thing.
	Yeah, that's a worry I have in my mind, which is essentially the...
	Support for the TERF types, let's say, will lead conservatives to end up accepting feminist nonsensicals that were the kind of nonsensicals that led to the LGBT movement.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's something we're just going to have to deal with.
	Although those are far easier to deal with and deconstruct, because we already have, than some of the other stuff, let's say, in the public consciousness.
	Hopefully, anyway.
	Optimism here.
	Yeah.
	Alfred the Beta says the TERFs versus trans activist fight is second wave ideological subversion versus third wave ideological subversion.
	Certainly is.
	I'm looking forward to the fourth wave.
	I don't know what it has to be.
	I suppose it's the race nationalist stuff.
	So Lord Neva, the trans lobby, is probably one of the biggest threats to old-school liberalism.
	You get hefty fines for using the wrong pronoun and censored online for your trouble.
	I do hope you're right about them.
	P.S. Callum, it's pronounced Neva.
	I think Nereva.
	Nereva?
	Nereva.
	Sounds French.
	Nah, I'll be about it.
	You're getting anglicised.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, I hope I'm right too.
	But it's a little back and forth of how we call.
	I'm like, eh, I think the Turfs will probably win this.
	And he's not so confident.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Well, you don't have to agree.
	It's just the fact that you've got the argument of, well, women, and therefore all the privileges that come with that.
	But on top of that, your opposition...
	Don't seem to understand that point of you're attacking women, right?
	Yeah.
	Which will lead them to saying stuff like, suck my dear you transphobic sea, and they don't have a second thought.
	Optically, they don't exactly do themselves any favours, I will agree there.
	No, so I'm far less focused on theory than real politics.
	I do think when you get to the examples of trans women smacking the ever-loving S out of other people in UFC and stuff like that, that's when people start to take a step back and go, hmm.
	Sure, but that's still kind of carried on to some extent.
	It made Joe Rogan and whatnot wake up, that's for sure.
	It did not have an impact.
	But the politics of respectability and the real politic, I think, of how this is playing out.
	They've lost on theory.
	Come on.
	No one's buying into the idea that sex is just something in your head.
	It's something biological.
	It's just proven.
	Stop being a flat earther on this.
	But the real politic of it, the fact that they will come out and do those things and they do not understand how they look and they...
	They don't get that, and they never will.
	They're going to lose.
	They are just going to lose, in my opinion.
	We'll have to see.
	Charles Dickens says, Supporting the LGB Alliance, Boris will sleep on the couch tonight.
	I don't know how that went down.
	I've got no hope for that man, but if he does do something good, he's going to get praise for it.
	So Justin B, why should anyone be on Twitter anymore?
	Either they'll ban you or the police will come after you.
	It will not be long before you are punished for not liking a tweet for being progressive, even if you never saw it.
	Probably.
	I'm on there because the leftists are on there and the advanced search function is a glorious thing.
	Yep.
	I'm primarily a lurker.
	Yeah, you're there to go and look at the leftists.
	It's like visiting the zoo.
	Sort of, yeah.
	Go see the attractions.
	So Justin Beast says...
	Oh no, we just read that one.
	Kevin Fox, so let me get this straight.
	Sorry, are we allowed to use that word?
	The nutters in the LGBTQIA plus march in our streets chanting trans women are women...
	Then their pals at Stonewall convince government bodies that you must not use the word woman when dealing with pregnancy, etc.
	So by that logic, trans women can't be women because that's exclusionary.
	Therefore, we are back where we were 30 years ago, and trans women are just trans, not to be confused with a word I can't say, who are just men in a dress and behave like women.
	Yeah, I mean, that's a good question.
	I mean, if we're purging the word women from everything, why we're not purging it from the phrase trans women?
	The intersectionality argument is going to come in there and it'll work.
	So a student of history says, honest question, if the hose ain't mad, then are you even doing things right?
	True.
	It's a truism.
	If the hose ain't mad, you ain't doing nothing.
	And the hose is mad.
	And that's why I'm covering it.
	Because, yeah, God, they are up against the wall.
	In my opinion, if the hose ain't screeching, you ain't doing it, you are doing it wrong.
	Get good.
	Totally true.
	Robert Miller says, regarding transitioning being a form of conversion therapy, yes it probably is, as is grooming tomboys and convincing them that they are homosexual.
	It seems the chickens are coming home to roost in the alphabet funny soup farm.
	Yeah, I can see that argument being made as well.
	And Abigail Schreer has the argument that it's just a form of, I think you could call it social contagion with a lot of youngsters.
	They'll see one friend come out as trans and they'll see the big positive social aspect of everyone, like giving them a little round of applause for it and then they'll go, I want that.
	I'm trans too.
	I've seen it among the boomers, I won't mention what group, but I remember a group of boomers that I knew before all of this, in which one of their daughter's sons, one of them came out as trans, right?
	And then the other boomers were basically annoyed that they didn't have something as interesting as that.
	Oh no!
	That's how you view this.
	Really?
	Strange.
	Right.
	But it's not the boomer's fault.
	It's more telling of what is going on there, which is it's a...
	It's a party piece.
	Yeah, that's how it's treated.
	Yeah.
	So, in that situation.
	So, type effects, the LGBT +, is going to split into LGB versus TQ. I don't know.
	No, I can't say anything about that.
	Let's just carry on.
	George Winsor, the SCRU, setting themselves up to be replaced in much the same way as other Second Amendment groups were supplanted by the NRA in the public sphere.
	Yes, and they deserve it.
	Sorry.
	Americans, get on with it.
	They'll be doing a service.
	Robert Longshore, actually, trying to think of that.
	What is it?
	FIRE, I think, are a good organisation for stuff like this.
	I'm trying to remember some alternatives for people.
	I don't know.
	I've seen FIRE being pretty good on this, the group for civil rights there.
	Off the top of my head, I can't remember any others.
	Robert Longshaw says, if you end up being told to talk to a person, you need to use their pronouns, just ignore them in future.
	I don't think you are required by law to speak to these people full stop, unless you're in prison in the UK, in which case you are.
	Or if you're in Canada.
	Yes, so we do actually have to fight these things.
	Otherwise, they will just keep marching.
	Yep.
	So on to the NBA comments.
	Reece Sim, it's amazing to see how the slow creep of vaccination legislation.
	Firstly, they implement mandatory COVID vaccines for health workers to protect the elderly so people are on board with it.
	Then they extend it to encompass more and more people and eventually everyone will need the jab to work.
	I hope history remembers this as a tyrannical power grab and not as a solution to pandemics.
	I agree, for the most part.
	Yeah, people in the NBA, I would imagine, are very healthy.
	So it's not exactly like the unvaccinated are at any risk of harming the vaccinated in some way, when they're all towering, muscular men.
	I love how the way they were treating the vaccinated was that they can't spread it and they can't die, therefore they can all mix.
	So what risk are the unvaccinated?
	They're immortal now.
	Yeah, but then what risk are the unvaccinated players to them?
	They can't die, they can't spread it, that's how you're treating it.
	Well, it doesn't make sense.
	Yeah, so Alcibia...
	These nuts?
	I'll supply these, these nuts.
	Ah, okay.
	Every vaccine up to this point has worked by triggering your natural immunity.
	Why is it now being made out like natural immunity is inferior?
	It was the gold standard forever, and now you're some kind of crazy person if you don't think mRNA is the only thing that's ever worked.
	But I guess we've always been at war with East Asia.
	Well, I do think they got, was it The Who got caught changing the definition of natural immunity, like, a few times, and people called them out for it, so they had to change it back, but they're probably going to change it again at some point when they think no one's paying any attention.
	But yeah, natural immunity is a real thing.
	If you've caught COVID, you're probably fine.
	You've probably got natural immunity.
	Yeah, you've probably got natural immunity.
	SH Silver.
	So only the unvaccinated need testing or quarantines for positive contact.
	For some reason, the vaccinated need to be protected from the unvaccinated, but don't need any form of protection from people who have a positive case.
	If it wasn't any more clear with the contradictory stances, this is not about safety from the virus, but purely about control.
	Yeah, agree.
	Angelbrain, regarding the NBA vax nonsense, I, as an anarchist, love all this as the core of anarchism is simply that statehood cannot replace personhood.
	In short, the state doesn't make people, people make a state.
	all of this is hilarious to me as you now have overstretched statists actively sowing the seeds of their own downfall without the people you have no nation to rule so go ahead force people to actively disengage with the structures you need to keep picking up your paycheck well done that's like a farmer building fences out of his cattle's bones in order to keep wolves out fair play not Not an anarchist myself, but I can see where he's going with that.
	Michael, Malice, and Hugo have made me really start to enjoy anarchists, because there's something about the way they think that's fantastic.
	Yeah, fair play.
	Even though I'm not one, but...
	Yeah.
	Student of history.
	Carrot and stick.
	It's coercion.
	There's no other explanation.
	Absolutely.
	It seems to have already worked with...
	I've forgotten his name already.
	Andrew Wiggins, I think was his name.
	The guy who was unvaccinated and they were just sort of like, well, you can stay unvaccinated or play the game.
	You can't do both.
	So he just caved by the looks of it.
	So that's absolutely coercive.
	Well, will the NBA get the unvaccinated to sit at the back of the team bus and use separate water fountains to avoid possibly spreading COVID? Makes no sense.
	Vaccines only reduce effects if you get sick.
	Either test them all or test none of them.
	Maybe it will go that far.
	You never know.
	I'm kind of accelerationist at this point.
	Yeah, why not?
	If it helps people to see how ridiculous it all is.
	Adam Clayton.
	As a musician myself, I can't go back to playing gigs until I'm fully vaxxed because of my country, Australia, not allowing unvaccinated to do anything.
	This is allegedly supposed to change in December 1st, but with the state opening the door for segregation, I'm going to bet venues still enforce it, even when the state isn't enforcing it after December 1st.
	That is the worry as a musician myself.
	Thankfully, over in the UK, we don't have anything like that yet.
	But there is always the worry that venues might start implementing it on an individual venue-to-venue basis or that the government might start to cave in to the fact that we've got Wales and Scotland surrounding us doing the same thing and the Conservatives don't seem to be able to hold a stance for too long without just caving.
	They don't understand why they're there and therefore we'll just cave when the pressure is enough.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But hopefully it doesn't come to that, but sorry to hear about that in Australia, by the way.
	Zero, zero.
	Eric Clapton gets sick of the vaccine and then he tells about it and they call it misinformation.
	Also, he has struggled with addiction as if it is irrelevant for the issue smearers will smear.
	Oh yes, that is true from what I'm aware when he made that controversial speech back in the 70s.
	He was supposedly very drunk at the time and was also struggling with lots of addictions.
	I think he was into heroin at one point and other such things.
	I can never go to musicians like, I'm high on heroin, time to perform.
	Hey man, I've heard, I'm not speaking from experience here, I've heard that one or two beers before a set will help loosen things up a little bit.
	So one, two needles?
	No, no!
	I've not gone that far!
	I've not gone that far!
	It'll make your fingers loose, that's for sure, I bet.
	Fair play.
	Oh, sorry, sorry.
	On the masking.
	You're just thinking about the needles.
	No, it's just like, you know, if you take the idea that, well, you should get drunk before you do a gig because it'll loosen you up.
	It doesn't really make sense to me.
	Well, no, no, no.
	Not drunk.
	One or two.
	I've seen people get drunk at gigs and it does not help performances.
	I'll just put it that way.
	It's what was happening in my head.
	So Clayton Ross says that leftists accusing people of whataboutism.
	The jokes were right themselves.
	Yeah, they do.
	Charles...
	Dahl's Chickens says, mandate for thee, but not for me.
	Yep.
	Zero, zero.
	I firmly believe that making face masks mandatory by law has less to do with medical issues, the political issues, and I know a little about both.
	Yeah, so.
	See you, Willie.
	No, I just realised.
	For fat persons whom dieting has failed them, it makes sense that they might support communism when dieting isn't a matter of choice as a simple reality instead.
	The reality of no food being available will help the obese achieve their goals.
	I say this as someone who could afford to lose 30 pounds.
	Yeah.
	I just...
	You've got to watch...
	I don't know if you watched that particular one, but she's like, yeah, so if I got pronounced with ADHD, that would explain the fact that I'm obese, I'm addicted to alcohol, and it's like...
	No.
	They even had the health secretary come up at some point, the John Athquez man, and he said that...
	What was it?
	Smoking affects the most vulnerable in society the most.
	I was like...
	What it affects?
	I think it affects the smokers.
	I think it affects the fact that people take the choice to smoke, presumably.
	I mean, the idea that just smoking's the thing that happens, you know, just one day you're walking and then just smoke clouds appear or something.
	Yep.
	And then a cigarette was in my mouth.
	Yes.
	Couldn't help it.
	And I was like, no, shut up.
	The cigarette fairies just drop them in.
	Yeah.
	So again from Mr.
	Chickens, it's a real mask-off moment for Labour.
	David Shipton says, I'm honestly seeing all these socialists not wearing masks.
	It fills me with confidence.
	I have been extra right all along in not being worried about this 97% survivable virus.
	It's obvious that with all the extra information these political types are privy to, they do not fear the virus, and they're trying to make the public fear it.
	Yeah, I mean, that's the reveal preference, as AA would always say.
	The stated preference is not important.
	The reveal preference is that they do not care about the risk because they've assessed the risk, and they're not at risk, according to themselves.
	Even Durston says honestly with the way governments keep saying, quote, No, we must continue onward with masks and forcing everyone to get jabs.
	There's no other way.
	We mustn't let our healthcare system get overwhelmed.
	Whilst the data they presumably use to justify such policies often shows huge downturns in both cases and deaths, makes me wonder if they care more for grandma or controlling everyone who likes grandma.
	It's for the control.
	Yes.
	I don't know.
	That couldn't be seen at this point.
	Yeah.
	So Daniel Walrus says, Greetings from the land of 10,000 lakes, gents.
	10,000 lakes.
	What's that?
	I don't know.
	Norway, maybe?
	Maybe Canada.
	I don't know.
	We're going to look like morons now.
	Someone's going to know.
	So he says, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the work you do in keeping me informed on Clown World, Godspeed, gents.
	So, thanks.
	Also, tell us where the lakes are.
	I don't know why I don't know that.
	I feel like that's just something we should know.
	Well, we're men of the world.
	Evidently.
	Well, evidently not.
	Kevin Fox says, Callum, Copenhagen is worth a visit, but save up.
	I went there once, and a 330ml bottle of Turgborn was a quid.
	Sounds cheap, but that was in 1980.
	A pint of Guinness there was 60p.
	We soon discovered the US-UK brands of cigarettes were good for bartering.
	Yeah, I have heard it's expensive in Scandinavia.
	Norway especially.
	I had a friend there who told me his salary, and he was like, yeah, I'm on minimum wage, and I was like, yeah, that still seems ridiculously high.
	He was like, yeah, but here's how much everything costs.
	Yeah, Iceland is similarly expensive.
	Fair enough.
	But yeah, I want to go.
	I want to meet up with a friend, because I met him playing Payday 2 as well.
	I always wanted to meet him.
	How awesome.
	Yeah, he was a good guy.
	Yeah.
	Played Payday 2 well.
	How bad can he be?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, on that note, time to end the show!
	My advice, meet strangers on the internet.
