	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Loat Seeders for the 4th of November 2021.
	I'm I'm joined by Leo.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the human NPC that is Claudia Webb and is getting her sentence in today, so good luck Claudia, we're all rooting for you.
	Anyway, also Terry Gilliam getting cancelled at the- Gilliam.
	Gilliam, sorry, getting cancelled at the old pick.
	Not my story, that'll be yours.
	Yeah, yeah.
	As you can tell.
	And also the Virginia fallout.
	So I wanted to look at the corporate media's response to the Virginia election, which is really funny.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, the media, well, we shouldn't get into it now, but the media were really pushing the, you know, the stuff, even though they knew the, you know, the fake, the Jussie Smollett rally that they had, the fake rally, the media were pushing that as a real thing, even though they knew it was fake.
	Yeah, even the Lincoln Project said it's fake and we've done it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay, this isn't real then.
	Why is everyone reporting it anyway?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, some of the things I mentioned first on the website.
	So, first thing here being the live event in which this is your set actually here.
	So, this is Leo Kersk, which you can find on LotusEaters.com, giving your set at, I think this was day two of the live event.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I don't know if you wanted to talk about it a little bit or not, or...
	Yeah, basically it's a condensed version of my show Cancel Culture, which you can see at Top Secret Comedy in London on the 6th of December, live and direct.
	It's being filmed on a multiple camera setup, so I'm going to do the full hour show and you can give me money.
	So yeah, if you're around in London on the 6th of December, come and see it.
	If you want to watch it on Lotus Eaters, there's a short version, like 20 minutes.
	Yeah.
	So if we go to the next one here, we have a new article.
	This is from Brian.
	I'm going to butcher the name.
	Drury.
	This is the Glass Blind Spot on YouTube.
	People may know who's a good guy.
	So this is an article from him.
	Legacy Media's Award on Dads and what to do about it.
	Because, of course, well, there is hatred of dads.
	And also you can see that the audio track for Silver and Gold Tier members to listen instead of reading because reading is a pain.
	And if we go to the last one here, this is a new video from, I believe, Carl.
	So this is a direct video, The Politics of Dave Chappelle's The Closer.
	So going through his...
	Closer.
	Closer, sorry.
	I wasn't part of the filming, so unfamiliar, so I can't really say anything, but I'm sure it's great to go and check that out.
	I believe that's going...
	Is that live?
	Yeah, that is live at 3pm today, so go and check that out.
	Anyway, otherwise, let's get to the human NPC that is Claudia Webb.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, boy.
	Why do you call it the human NPC? Because she...
	Well, explain.
	So Claudia Webb, the human NPC, is up for trial.
	She's up for sentencing today because she was found guilty.
	And the reason I call her an NPC is because I really think she is.
	And she is a perfect stock suit politician type.
	Right.
	And you'll see it through her tweets.
	So this is just the first thing here, the Crown Prosecution Service.
	She seems to go a bit rogue.
	Yeah.
	NPC characters are supposed to blend into the background, not threaten acid attacks on people.
	Blends in the Labour Party perfectly.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So this is the CPS reporting on what took place with her.
	And in here they mention that her sentence is up for today, November 4th.
	So she'll be in the court today, deciding whether or not she gets up to 10 years in jail.
	Jeez.
	Which is, well, probably deserved, because for people who don't remember, we'll go into the story, so we'll go to the next one on this.
	This is just the independent reporting on it, because, sorry, the standard.
	And they say in here, in one call Webb made to the woman she abused...
	So, Webb called Mrs Merritt a slag.
	Okay.
	Threatened her with acid and warned she would send naked pictures and videos to her daughters.
	Jesus.
	So there we are.
	This is the left-wing advocate for women's rights and women's safety in public life.
	Tolerance and diversity.
	Yes.
	Calling a lady down the phone a slag, and she was going to send acid to her face and naked videos.
	And had the woman been sleeping with her boyfriend, her partner?
	So that's the accusation, is that I think her ex, or her current boyfriend, God knows what's going on there, man.
	They turn up to the court holding hands as well.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	So she thinks that he was sleeping with her or something, and quite frankly, I don't care.
	But I mean, if they turned up to court holding hands, it clearly worked.
	Clearly, if you want a woman out of your boyfriend's life, you might go to jail for ten years.
	I'm going to disavow that legal advice right there.
	Some legal advice.
	Relationship advice, I suppose, from you, isn't it?
	You'll get ten years, but at least you'll get to keep your boyfriend's hand as you go to court together.
	Write him letters from jail.
	Well, apparently that's going to happen.
	So, uh, in another call recorded by the complainant, Webb repeatedly warned the victim to, quote, get out of my relationship with partner Lester Thomas.
	Webb from Islington, North London, denied harassment, claiming she only made courtesy calls to warn...
	To warn Miss Merritt not to breach coronavirus regulations by meeting Mr Thomas.
	That's amazing!
	That's amazing.
	You shouldn't have sex with my boyfriend because COVID! That's what I was doing, Judge.
	I mean, surely the judge has got to take a couple of years off just for the sheer hilarity of that.
	Could you imagine if they play the recording?
	Because they've got the recordings, as they say.
	And she's like, you're in slag.
	And she's like, well, I'll just make it a courtesy call.
	That's how I speak to all my female friends.
	Okay, yeah.
	So, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, ex-Shadow Chancellor John MacDonald, and former Home Secretary Diane Abbott, Shadow Home Secretary, were among those providing character witnesses for Webb.
	Oh, man, yeah.
	That's when you know you're a great person, when you've got Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott standing up for you.
	The hoi four.
	I mean, you're literally scraping the barrel at that point.
	I need some people to give statements about how I'm a good person.
	Let's call up Corbyn, Abbott and McDonald.
	International jokes, but okay.
	So she faces up to 10 years in jail for this harassment charge, which she has been found guilty of.
	And if she gets 12 months or more of suspended sentence or a custodial sentence, then she'll have an automatic election.
	Right.
	So the seat will run up.
	Oh yeah, because if she goes to jail, does she automatically forfeit the seat?
	So if she gets 12 months, she's given 12 months either suspended or actually going to jail, which we're all hoping and desperately hoping that that's what happens, then there will be an election.
	Right.
	But less than 12 months, you can still keep the seat.
	I take it there's going to be a lot of pressure to resign.
	If there's less than 12 months, the pressure's already there.
	She doesn't seem to care.
	So there's a petition you can sign.
	If you live in Leicester East, and if it gets 10% of your electorate, then there's a re-election.
	So that's the rules.
	That's how that works.
	Which I'm sure there will be a re-election either way.
	But Claudia doesn't care for some reason.
	She's clearly insane.
	An insane person wouldn't, would they?
	So this is what she's been up to, and I'm blocked, because everyone got blocked after she got found guilty.
	She went on a blocking spree if anyone ever had interacted with her, except leftists.
	And this is some of the stuff she's been doing since, which is just like rando leftist nonsense.
	And this is why I say the human NPC, because she just does NPC things, just things my leftist base will like.
	So you see her posting here.
	18 years ago, it was my absolute privilege to connect with Malcolm X's beautiful daughter, Atala Shabazz.
	Malcolm taught us all so much that still resonates today.
	And then there's her with some dress and hanging out with Malcolm X's daughter.
	Okay.
	You even found guilty for harassment?
	Are you not?
	No?
	Okay, so we move on.
	There's loads of this that's just weird.
	This one?
	So this is stuff she's tweeting to sort of...
	This is her public production since being found guilty.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	What's she been up to?
	Renationalise water and sewage services for the common good of all.
	No response is allowed.
	Just as you can see there.
	No one is allowed to reply to that.
	If we go on to the next one, it's just her, again, leftist NPC talking points.
	Government warns schools not to treat white privilege.
	In doing so, they prove our very point.
	No one can reply.
	Right?
	Are you...
	Hello?
	You were found guilty of harassment?
	Yeah.
	Just actual NPC. We'll carry on.
	And there's more of these weird tweets that just don't make sense.
	Africa has 17% of the world's population, but so far has received 2.6% of the world's vaccines.
	This is vaccine apartheid.
	It's not vaccine apartheid, though.
	You know what I mean?
	Like the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine.
	It was developed in Oxford.
	So, I mean, I don't know, maybe...
	People in Oxford should get it first, because that's where they made it.
	If you pay for a thing, you should own it.
	And if you don't pay for the thing, you don't own it, then you get what you're given.
	It's like Africa's got 98% of the world's zebra population, but Scotland doesn't get any zebras.
	I don't know where I'm going with this.
	It's zebra apartheid, because Scotland's not getting any zebras.
	Yeah, it's not the Harare, uh, Seneca vaccine.
	It's the Oxford Seneca vaccine.
	Anyway, so there's, again, just more, like, leftist talking points that don't make any sense.
	I mean, none of these.
	None of these make any, like, rational sense.
	There's no argument put forward.
	It's just, yeah, left-wingers are like this, okay?
	Yeah.
	And we'll continue because it gets even weirder.
	So if you get the next one, this is her saying, if you don't, sorry, if you export bombs, don't complain about importing refugees.
	Uh, only her followers can reply.
	This was the day before David Amess was stabbed to death by a refugee.
	Really?
	Ugh.
	Yeah, so we'll go to the next one here.
	She issued an apology, they'd say.
	Absolutely shocked and saddened to the census loss of David Amess.
	Who did it?
	Who did it, Claudia?
	Refugee.
	We're not allowed to talk about it.
	It's nice to mention it.
	We have again, just the next day, restored the whip to Jeremy Corbyn.
	Kinky!
	Just back to this.
	Just back to this.
	This is what I mean.
	MPC. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	And wasn't Jeremy Corbyn actually suspended from the party for a brief time because of anti-Semitism?
	He's still suspended.
	Is he still suspended?
	Yeah.
	But she wants to bring him back in.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	He's still out.
	I think she's out too.
	I think they kicked her out.
	Just they were like, please resign, for the love of Christ.
	So is she now basically, she's still sitting in her seat, but as an independent now?
	Officially, yes.
	Same as Jeremy Corbyn.
	But that doesn't seem to matter at all.
	We'll get to that in a minute.
	But also, what else has she been up to apart from being an MC? Fighting with randos for some reason.
	So we go to the next one here.
	We just have her writing the race card because she's a victim of racism, don't you know?
	This is not an appropriate way to speak to a person of colour.
	No idea what the person said because no one saved it, but whatever.
	I've seen her past of playing the race card.
	If we carry on, we have someone else saying to her, just shut up.
	Essentially, she's on about, like, renationalizing water and sewage again because, you know, new update.
	And she's like, please be quiet.
	And her response, of course, is, well, that's white privilege.
	So we go to the next one here.
	We have a responding to that guy.
	White privilege.
	Don't get to decide who has allowed a voice.
	Right, okay.
	And the reason the race...
	Oh man, this is like, it's woke judo because you can't, there's no way.
	Like with the critical race theory stuff, you know, if you're, man, if you think you're racist, then you're racist.
	And if you don't think you're racist, then you're racist and you've got white fragility that doesn't let you recognise your racism.
	It's like there's no way out of this sort of arm lock.
	But also, he's essentially just saying, criminal MP, shut up.
	Yeah.
	In the same way of, like, corporate Twitter account.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right?
	And she's just like, yeah, white privilege.
	And the reason this is also relevant to the court case is she's playing the same thing in court.
	Right.
	I'm not joking.
	So we've got the next one here.
	This is a reporting on her response to being found guilty of harassment.
	Claudia Webb MP, who threatened to throw acid over somebody, has stated that she is, quote, a black woman in a white court.
	Yeah.
	The court was white.
	She's not a criminal.
	Yeah.
	Court's racist.
	Yeah.
	Court's trying to keep her brother down.
	Right.
	So you threatened to throw acid in a woman's face.
	We find you guilty.
	That's racism.
	Why?
	Because it affects brown people like me, says Collier.
	And what was the ethnicity of the woman she threatened?
	Do we know?
	I don't know, actually.
	I assume why.
	Right.
	It was also a very weird situation in which I think it was either her partner or her ex-partner that was brought into the court case that the police had been alerted that she was screaming, like Claudia was screaming one night.
	Right.
	And they were like, oh, what's going on?
	So the next door neighbours call up the police.
	The police come round.
	And apparently her partner was beating her.
	Jesus.
	So, domestic abuse.
	She refused to hand him over to the police or dob him into the police.
	Right.
	And her justification in the court was because the police are racist and therefore will not treat my abuser very well.
	Right.
	And therefore, I'm not handing him over.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Again, I mean, we've covered this in the intersectionality podcast we did on Lotases.com, which people should check out.
	But the...
	The intersectionality really does come through, which is that their argument is that black women should just take the beating and also if they're ever found guilty in court of anything.
	That's individual justice.
	Not racial justice.
	What happened to her racial justice?
	She got individual justice.
	Did the thing wrong, got found guilty.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's what she's complaining about.
	Which is what the criminal justice system is based on.
	Exactly.
	That's the white system.
	Yeah.
	Well, no, seriously, that is what the complaint is.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That it's not a racial justice system, which is this voodoo nonsense, which essentially means that, well, I may have committed the crime, Your Honor, but I am black.
	I was like, At least I had the decency for that.
	Well, fair enough.
	Off you go.
	Enjoy yourself.
	Here, take this bottle of bleach with you.
	That's what she's arguing for.
	Anyway, so this has all taken place, and she's going to be in the court today, being given her sentence.
	And since then, the Labour Party doesn't care.
	Right.
	Doesn't give a job.
	Yeah.
	It's not just her who's a hypocrite saying, you know, women and all that, and then being like, hey, acid.
	Yeah.
	No, she's hanging out with the Labour Party, as we can see here from the Spectator.
	If we can scroll down on this one, you can see Labour MPs posed with convicted harasser.
	And there she is!
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right next to David Lammy.
	Right, yeah.
	And Jeremy Corbyn.
	Yeah.
	And you can see in the centre Keir Starmer, or off to the left, I think the Shadow Home Secretary is there.
	You can see Diane Abbott on the far left there.
	Yeah.
	In her place as usual.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, all of them.
	And funnily enough, the previous politician in her seat was Keith Vaz, who was no stranger to controversy himself.
	Male prostitutes.
	Yeah, yeah, male prostitutes.
	I think he wanted to buy them cocaine as well.
	There was other stuff as well.
	He was suspended for some sort of false allegation.
	There were quite a few controversies.
	But this is why the court case with her is so interesting and that election, which I mentioned.
	Because, well, that seat has suffered with Labour MPs who have been unbelievably bad.
	Is it like a super safe Labour seat?
	Used to be.
	A lot of seats used to be.
	A lot of seats used to be, so I'm really hoping that they'll actually flip on this one.
	I don't even care who to, just not Labour, for crud's sake.
	Anyway, you can see them all hanging out here.
	No problem whatsoever.
	She's been found guilty and they're like, yeah, my buddy, my comrade.
	If we carry on from this, so if we go to the next one, I just caught, of course, there are more images of this because they will proudly post them on social media.
	If you just scroll down on this one, so we don't need the image.
	Was that picture taken on a Nintendo gaming watch?
	No, I just had to take a screenshot.
	I mean, that is like four pixels.
	Well, you know, it's the image they provided, but it's just that you've got Apsana Begum there, and then a whole bunch below as well, of MPs who are all proudly posting photos with her.
	Yep, this Labour MP who's not a Labour MP because we kicked her out because we wanted to leave.
	We actually don't care.
	Yeah.
	That's by their actions.
	They do not give a toss about what she's been fixed of.
	Yeah.
	And what she'll be sentenced for.
	Anyway, so that's Claudia Webb.
	That's one.
	NPC. I thought we'd mention one more NPC. Yep.
	Because I love these people.
	Yeah.
	And as you can see, I've got a bit of a thing for just watching Labour MPs because it's like car crashes or something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know, house fires or something like that.
	It's just like, well, you know, you can't really look away.
	It's that awful.
	So if we carry on, we go to Zahra Sultana, who was out there as well, in between this, with the refugees are welcome here placards.
	Again, five days after David Amess was murdered by a refugee.
	I don't think that's coincidental, but what do I know?
	Anyway.
	But man, this is what the left are like.
	I remember after the truck attack in, was it Nice?
	It was somewhere in the south coast of France.
	Basically, an Islamist drove a truck and killed.
	There's all these families picnicking and stuff for some event.
	And he drove a truck and killed loads of them, like 50 of them or so.
	Just a horrific, horrific attack.
	I know Islamist attacks are never nice, but this was particularly horrific.
	And I was coming back from a gig in Bournemouth and we were listening on the radio.
	The news was just breaking.
	And I was looking on Twitter as well.
	And a left-wing comedian, which doesn't narrow it down.
	It could be any comedian apart from me.
	But a left-wing comedian tweeted...
	She's since deleted the tweet.
	Tweeted that we mustn't forget the real victims of this tragedy.
	Refugees trying to get into Britain.
	And it's like...
	How are you making that?
	I think the real victims of the tragedy are the actual victims.
	No, no, no, no.
	The racism those refugees trying to make it to Britain from France, safe country, will suffer is just way worse than being killed by a truck.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I mean, do you know, what is it, Norm MacDonald?
	Yeah.
	I think the chap who died, he has the best joke on this, and he told it straight, which is, he had a friend in the FBI, and his biggest fear is that some Islamists will get hold of a dirty bomb, and they'll let it off in New York, killing millions and millions of people.
	Because then the blow black against innocent Muslims living in the West will be so dire that we won't be able to control it.
	I mean, it'll be the worst thing ever.
	And the two people next to him went, yeah, that's right.
	That's right.
	And I can't tell to this day whether or not she and the guy next to him were joking or not.
	I was just like, oh, crap.
	The ideology is so strong in some people on the left that genuinely wouldn't understand that satire.
	No, they wouldn't get it.
	And I think this NPC is also one of them, Zahra Sultana, because there's also a clip that's gone viral recently, which is great, which is her going on Politics Live and talking about how incredibly unsafe she feels in the chamber, in parliament, because remember, they're all wearing masks, the Conservatives aren't.
	They weren't a week ago.
	They weren't a day from now when they're in the bar.
	They want to make a big deal about it because, of course, left-wing politicians want to do that.
	It's safetyism.
	I mean, I'm going to talk about safetyism in my segment as well, because it's the new sort of, I'm offended, or you've done something, but it's really difficult.
	It's harder to defend yourself against.
	But there's a wonderful segment in here, because Julia Hartley Brewer calls her out, but the best part is, is she just blurts out that yes, it is ideological.
	They don't give a toss about safety.
	So let's play this clip and enjoy.
	dangerous message to send to the rest of the country.
	Is it about a message?
	Because, I mean, Julia's point, Julia's point anecdotally, but Julia's point that people weren't, Labour MPs weren't wearing them at party conference.
	Should they have been?
	I think when we look at the case rate now, when we look at the issues in Parliament, when we look at the messaging that's coming out of the Speaker's office, this is dangerous to other people's public health.
	I think MPs should be wearing it in the Chamber and around the estate as well.
	Why are you wearing one now?
	Because we're in the studio, we're socially distanced.
	Have you seen how much phobic you can get in there?
	Hang on, you two.
	It is ideological.
	Hang on, let me just come back to the issue in the Chamber.
	It's ideological.
	Just blurts out at the end there.
	It is ideological.
	I love how happy with herself.
	Julia, before she said anything, she just knew she had a total slam dunk.
	It's great.
	I really, really enjoy Julia's stuff.
	She doesn't take any prisoners.
	But also, there is, of course, the point, as Chris Rose points out here, there's just the images, you dullards, because you all took photos of yourselves and posted them online because you people can't get off social media.
	And here's you hanging out, incidentally, with the lady on the left.
	I don't know if you recognise her in the Orange.
	She was the one who was heckling Keir Starmer in the middle of his speech when he was talking about a dead mum.
	Keir Starmer was like, "Yeah, so my dead mum." And she was like, "Well, this is my moment." And I've got to start heckling it.
	I've got to be honest, those Labour Party conference delegates, they look like they've got more communicable diseases than the Tories in the Chamber.
	Anyway.
	I want a mask on them.
	I mean, I wouldn't want to hang around them without it if you could help us.
	So yeah, that's two NPCs here, and there are many more, because that's all the left is made of these days.
	And I thought we'd just enjoy that.
	We don't have the news currently about what the sentencing says for Claudia Webb.
	If we do, I guess we'll put it in the comments or something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Either way, I'm going to be a happy bunny.
	Try not to enjoy it too much.
	Yeah.
	I mean, is there any sort of forecast?
	Like the Tyson Fury fight?
	Do we know?
	I don't know.
	I don't know if the bookies are taking on.
	I might look it up, actually.
	I bet they are.
	They'll take a bet on anything.
	Yeah, yeah.
	How many years is a Claudia Webb game?
	I don't think you can bet on the outcome of convictions because that would influence...
	That would ruin the fun.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, that's that.
	Yeah, so my section I'm going to be talking about, I've got some news of cancellations in comedy.
	It's a shame that every week there's new cancellations.
	I'd hope it was a sort of biannual thing, cancellations in comedy.
	Instead, it's like there's loads every week.
	But the big cancellation, it's not quite comedy.
	Terry Gilliam, so he was due to co-direct a play, Stephen Sondham's Into the Woods, the old Vic Theatre in London.
	And it's been cancelled by the theatre because staff complained.
	They said they felt unsafe because of Terry Gilliam's comments.
	So Terry Gilliam, just for a bit of context, he was one of the creative geniuses behind Monty Python.
	So you know all the animations, like the big foot coming down, all that really mind-blowing stuff.
	And in the films, the huge sets and all the fantasy stuff, he's behind all that.
	He's an incredible visionary director as well.
	So he's directed loads of films like The Fisher King, Twelve Monkeys...
	And Brazil, which is what's up on the screen here, which is a fantasy, a film set in a dystopian, polluted, hyper-consumerist, overbearing, bureaucratic, totalitarian future somewhere in the 20th century.
	So, like I say, definitely a fantasy.
	No bearing at all in reality.
	It's quite Orwellian.
	You know what's funny about that though?
	I wanted to mention, I don't know if you noticed, but there was like a week ago, TFL put out a new advert for like, come and visit London, and they used the intro music from Brazil.
	No way!
	You know the...
	Yeah, that's hilarious.
	Amazing.
	So yeah, it's a great film.
	Very, what do you call it, when something inspires other people.
	It had a big impact.
	Influential.
	Influential, that's the word I'm looking for.
	So yeah, we've got a couple of pictures from it if we click through the tabs.
	So that's it being filmed.
	So you can see, you know, it's all about, you know, state, sort of Stasi.
	And it was made in 1985, so it's more leaning on the Cold War than, you know, what we've got now with social media and everything.
	But yeah, in the next picture, you can see more it's all, you know, mind control and people being re-educated.
	So yeah, the Chinese government might have taken it as a blueprint.
	So Terry Gilliam was due to co-direct a production of the Stephen Sondham play, Into the Woods, but staff at the Old Vic said that they felt unsafe because of Terry Gilliam's comments around Me Too.
	I mean, unsafe is...
	This is what I was talking about before.
	You know, people say, I feel unsafe.
	What they mean is, I'm offended.
	But you can't really say, I'm offended, because then people can say, well, you know, just feel offended.
	Just deal with that, you know?
	I mean, this isn't for you, just feel offended.
	But if you say, oh, I'm unsafe, then it means it's a health and safety issue and it has to be fixed or, you know, or you're not complying with health and safety.
	But the idea that Terry Gilliam, he's 80 years old, he doesn't have a history of violence.
	The thought that he's going to suddenly just storm into the theatre, like swinging punches at the fucking ice cream ushers.
	No women and tratties on my set.
	Getting people in a chokehold and stuff.
	It's not going to happen.
	The people are safe.
	They're working at the Old Vic.
	Now that Kevin Spacey's gone, they're probably the safest they've ever been.
	So Kevin Spacey, maybe this is why the theatre reacted so quickly and so harshly is because Kevin Spacey, he had a long tenure as the head of the old Vic and was abusing loads of people.
	Funnily enough, a friend of mine as well.
	He's actually a big burly Caribbean guy.
	So the guy from the House of Cards, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Not the big burly Caribbean guy, but Cameron Spacey, yeah, from Usual Suspect and House of Cards.
	And so yeah, he was, man, he was just, apparently he was just like, man, just grabbing everything that walked past him.
	I mean, he got accused of like pedo stuff, didn't he?
	Yeah, he's been accused of a whole bunch of stuff.
	I don't know how evidenced it is, but there were allegations that he was involved in a pedo ring in Hollywood as well.
	Quite a famous one.
	I better not start saying names because I'll get the wrong ones.
	Imagine my shock.
	What an allegation.
	Where could this have come from?
	There's a lot of child actors from the 80s.
	A few of them have committed suicide and stuff.
	So all the Corys and people like that, I can't remember their names, Corrie Hayne.
	But yeah, so the theatres had a knee-jerk reaction.
	So the previous guy in charge is a suspected nonce, therefore this guy?
	Terry Gilliam's not...
	He's not staff at the Old Vic.
	He was just going to co-direct this play.
	And he wasn't going to...
	The play's already written.
	So he wasn't going to introduce new...
	Oh, we're going to have a new section where he's racist.
	We're going to have some racist songs or transphobic monologues.
	I was thinking of blacking up while I direct it.
	Yeah, like...
	None of that's going to happen.
	There's no safety issue here, but they said they felt unsafe.
	And the comments that have offended people are mostly just, I mean this might shock you, but they're mostly just what most people think.
	So he said he's tired of white men being blamed for everything that's wrong with the world.
	I mean, there's a few of us.
	I think that's not an objectionable opinion.
	That's a fair opinion, even though it's not one that you're allowed to publicly say.
	But I guess the great thing about being an 80-year-old former Python is you've already achieved everything, so you can say it.
	They can't destroy him.
	He also publicly supported Dave Chappelle, like most people did.
	He's vastly more popular than Hannah Gadsby.
	I loved it when Hannah Gadsby came out.
	She'd I had this dig at Netflix and she was like, I wasn't paid as much.
	You didn't pay me enough.
	And it's like, well, people didn't want to watch your show because it was rubbish.
	It wasn't funny.
	And it was just shit.
	So people want to watch Dave Chappelle because he's funny.
	And he's edgy and he's saying what people want to say.
	So that's just how the free market works.
	It's like women's football.
	If you want women's footballers to be paid more, buy a season ticket to watch women's football.
	Like, it's just the market.
	The marketplace decides the fee.
	So Terry Gilliam also mocked identity politics.
	He described himself as a black lesbian in transition.
	And, you know, this got people's backs up.
	I'm liking him already.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But he had a point when he said that, because why is some identifying good and seen as completely perfect and noble and virtuous, and then him identifying as seen as despicable mocking of this thing?
	I mean, if identity politics wasn't so full of just disingenuousness and logical dissonances and fallacies, It wouldn't be so mockable.
	I think if you can mock something, it reveals the weakness in that thing.
	And that's why people hate...
	The left hate comedians who mock them.
	Totalitarians hate comedy the most.
	Yeah, it reveals the weaknesses, the Emperor's new clothes.
	He also made some comments about Me Too that people didn't like.
	So we've got a picture of Harvey...
	So this is Harvey Weinstein.
	He looks like he's been played by an actor here.
	But this is Harvey Weinstein going into court.
	He's been sentenced to jail.
	Don't think it's the same jail as Claudio Webb, but he's gone down and He's probably going to spend the rest of his life in jail.
	I mean, don't get me wrong, Harvey Weinstein, total monster, you know what I mean?
	But there's a whole industry looking the other way and enabling him.
	That's how deep it is in Hollywood.
	Yeah, yeah.
	This is the thing that everyone knew and then, well, became public record.
	Yeah, exactly like Saville.
	You know, these people get into a position of power, they abuse that power.
	So Terry Gilliam said that while he hates Harvey Weinstein and feels sympathy for his victims, the Me Too movement got a bit out of hand, decent people were getting hammered, and Hollywood is full of very ambitious people who are adults and they make choices.
	And that's just obviously kind of true.
	There's a word for it, the casting couch.
	It's horrible that it happens, but because you've got incredibly powerful people acting as gatekeepers to the industry, and it's an industry, it's not like rocket science or something.
	To be a rocket scientist, you've got to really study, you've got to be really smart, study, work really hard, and there's only a few rocket scientists, whereas everybody can be an actor, and everybody wants to be an actor.
	So then the gatekeeper can be like, well...
	I'm only taking people who suck my dick.
	You know what I mean?
	That's literally, that's how it works.
	And all these women are like, oh, I just suck Harvey Weinstein's dick.
	It's like, no, you could have been a waitress.
	You know what I mean?
	But you wanted to be an actress and you wanted to get all that money and that fame and that adulation.
	So they're willing to do it.
	I mean, still wrong that Harvey Weinstein made them do it.
	But, you know, this is the reality of what was happening.
	The whole industry was based on this.
	The correct response being to record them saying that and then report it to the police.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But I mean, obviously, if you do that, you know, at the time, I mean, the first people who came forward were blacklisted by Hollywood.
	Nobody would work with them.
	So, you know, so if you do want to make it in Hollywood, and it's other careers as well.
	I was talking to somebody who is a barrister or was a criminal barrister.
	And even in that world, you know, she was saying there's an expectation, a pressure...
	So you get taken on as a junior or something, and then it's all older males, and they sort of hit on you, and there's a strong pressure and suggestion that if you sleep with them or whatever, it's going to advance your career.
	So it happens in a lot of industries, and I think it's always horrible, it's always despicable, but it was happening.
	And also...
	I mean, also from another point of view, Harvey Weinstein's dick was a pretty good one to suck.
	I mean, I would suck Harvey Weinstein's dick.
	This is one of the ways I'm discriminated against, because I don't get to suck Harvey Weinstein's dick to get ahead in show business.
	If I want to get ahead in show business, I've got to get ahead in merit.
	And I think we all know how difficult that's going to be.
	I would be on Harvey's dick in a second, working the balls.
	Because man, the people who suck this dick got Hollywood careers, got millions of dollars, got that fame, adulation.
	And then, later on, 20 years later, they get to get more fame and more money by suing him and complaining about it.
	You know what I mean?
	There's people sucking dick for like $50.
	They're the ones I feel sorry for.
	Not these fucking actors getting all this stuff.
	They're getting the best.
	That's the best dick sucking you'll ever get.
	You know what I mean?
	I'm sorry you've been cheated in this regard and instead you ended up here.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Don't ask what I had to do to Carl to get this.
	You know the funny thing?
	I don't know if you remember the court documents about all this, but there was a one point where I remember him in the courtroom arguing that he didn't really have a dick.
	I don't know if you remember.
	Somebody was telling me about this.
	So apparently he's got a really weird dick.
	Apparently he has a bit of both.
	There's a bit missing or something.
	Yeah.
	And it's scarred.
	I don't really want to get into this.
	I just remember one of the victims saying that it tasted like a woman.
	Put it that way.
	Where it's like the whole thing was like he's intersex or something.
	Oh man, I just...
	If you can bring up a page...
	Don't do an image of that.
	Oh no, there's no image, but there's quite a graphic.
	Just the headline is Harvey Weinstein's Deformed Penis Explained.
	And so that's my reading sorted for the train back.
	Is it still worth sucking in your mind?
	So apparently he suffered from an acute infection that gave him a deformed penis.
	And yeah, so bacteria can enter through a cut or scratch in the genitals and spread through the bloodstream.
	Some patients require skin grafts, but more extreme cases, such as Weinstein's, require an operation to remove the testicles.
	What on earth?
	Oh my God!
	This guy's a monster!
	This guy's...
	Yeah, here we go!
	Here we go!
	That's not a penis, that is his face.
	Wow, he is a penis.
	Yeah, Jesus Christ!
	So, Jessica Mann, one of Weinstein's accusers, said she felt compassion for Weinstein after she saw his deformed genitalia, which appeared to have scarring as if from burns in his nether region, according to writer Phoebe Eaton.
	Eaton?
	That's an interesting name for this.
	LAUGHTER Her first impression was that Weinstein might be intersex when she saw the deformity.
	Fucking hell, he's already in jail.
	Don't kill him.
	This is, ah, man.
	They're going to put this in his tombstone?
	Fucking hell.
	I feel sorry for this guy now.
	You know what I mean?
	Although, I feel less like sucking his penis.
	Yeah, that was your mouth failing.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, who's the top dog in Hollywood now?
	Like, George Clooney?
	He's probably got a better dig than this, surely.
	I mean, could he go lower than this?
	Eaton described how Weinstein's hapless assistants were often dispatched to secure caverject, a drug that is directly injected into the penis before intercourse that causes an erection.
	They use that in porn.
	So yeah, that is not...
	I can't believe I've only just found this out.
	This makes everything he's done so much worse, though.
	Because if he's like, you know, a normal...
	Oh, where's this going?
	You're about to justify sexual assault for people with normal penises.
	No, if I was...
	I feel like I would rather have to be abused by someone with a normal physiology than having to stab some chemical into his privates.
	They're not really sure which privates are male or female, or god knows what, and it smells like death.
	And then having to ride it or put it in your mouth.
	I mean...
	I mean, come on, which one would you rather be?
	Oh, God, yeah.
	I mean, yeah.
	The caverject thing is basically just like Viagra, but direct, you know, all porn stars use it.
	Because you've got to, like, be hard.
	They don't have fluffers anymore in porn.
	So they just inject their dick with caverject.
	Well, at least I've known what to Google.
	Cverject.
	Not sponsored.
	Yeah, getting away from Harvey's dick.
	So, you know, Gilliam said, you know, he was saying fairly reasonable comments.
	You know, the Me Too movement did get a bit out of hand.
	I remember somebody accused Dustin Hoffman of asking her for a blowjob like 20 years ago or whatever, and she said, you know, it made her feel uncomfortable, which is terrible, but...
	That's how we get blowjobs.
	You've got to ask people for blowjobs.
	You can't just wait for them to happen.
	I can't remember which feminist it was.
	I think it might be Julie Bindle or something.
	She said that one of the unexpected consequences of Me Too was that basically no one was hiring women anymore.
	It's just like, the risk.
	I'm not having that around.
	Yeah, well, and also probably because they couldn't pressure them for sex anymore.
	Maybe.
	So, yeah, yeah.
	But, yeah, I mean, and I think that's happening with some of the, you know how all the people who complain, like the Netflix walkout and stuff?
	So it's all the people with pronouns in their bio and green hair and all the rest.
	The people who complain, the staff that complained about Terry Gilliam, they're all going to be that kind of person.
	So, you know, if I was hiring people, I'd be like...
	Man, this person's got a septum piercing.
	They're not going to work very hard and they're going to be looking for anything at all to complain about so they can down tools and wave a placard and have the day off work.
	Yeah, I don't know why you hire these people.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	They're not going to work very hard.
	And also, man, so staff complained.
	Why have staff somehow, you know, you're on minimum wage, you sell ice cream, why have you got the right to decide what a theatre shows and doesn't show?
	There should be a minimum pay grade you've got to attain before, you know, you can complain about something.
	These are editorial decisions that should be taken by the board, not by...
	The guy selling popcorn.
	Yeah, exactly, exactly.
	You're qualified to sell popcorn, not like commissioned theatre works.
	So yeah, and the play had already sold thousands of tickets.
	I know sometimes people say, like with the Roy Chubby Brown thing, they're like, oh, it only sold a few hundred tickets, which is actually really good considering it was so far in advance.
	But people say, you know, oh, it wasn't going to do very well, so they're just using this as an excuse to pull it.
	No, this is going to happen in April 2022.
	Already sold thousands of tickets, so obviously going to be hugely...
	And this is a trend.
	Oh yeah, so I just included some pictures of Harvey Weinstein with all the great and the good of Hollywood.
	So there he is with Oprah Winfrey.
	She's giving him a big kiss on his face.
	And yeah, there he is with Meryl Streep.
	So yeah, everybody was happy to enable him and look the other way when it was happening.
	It's a lot like Saville.
	It's a lot like the Catholic Church.
	You know, when people have got power, they abuse it.
	It's one of the reasons I'm desperate for power.
	So if we move on to the next one.
	Yeah, the Netflix.
	Yeah, look at all those people.
	Pronouns in bio.
	Hashtag BeKind.
	Hashtag FBP. It's all those people.
	It's not funny.
	Just hire people who dress like it's the 50s, I think is the answer here.
	Jordan Peterson as well, next tab.
	So staff at Penguin Random House, so I guess they merged and now they've got a really clunky title.
	So the staff confronted the publisher about his new book.
	Why would you, man, if you don't like a book?
	Just don't read it.
	I don't go down and protest against Jack Munro bringing out a new recipe book.
	And I'm like, oh, this is a left-wing person bringing out a book.
	I don't like this.
	Jeremy Corbyn's memoirs.
	I don't care.
	I'm just not going to read it.
	I'm not going to spend my...
	£12 Waterston's voucher on Jeremy Corbyn's memoirs.
	So I don't know why the left can't do this instead of having to cancel everything.
	Look, right-wing stuff is just that good.
	They just need it.
	Yeah.
	And it's mad.
	So they'll cancel all this stuff.
	They cancel J.K. Rowling's books and stuff.
	You can still get Mein Kampf in bookshops.
	You know what I mean?
	There's places selling Mein Kampf, but you can't get J.K. Rowling's books.
	Next Tab actually is about J.K. Rowling's books.
	The staff at Hachette, which is our publisher, threatened to strike because of her transphobic views.
	And she's writing a children's book, so it obviously wasn't going to be a transphobic book.
	It's for kids.
	Could you imagine?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It was a kid's book, why I hate trannies.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, I'd make a change from all the kids' books that are like, why you should be a tranny.
	So yeah, this is happening more and more.
	Staff are pressurizing companies to do it.
	It's happening in tech a lot as well.
	So as everywhere becomes systemically woke, this is going to happen more and more.
	So I think it needs to stop.
	I think that's me done.
	That's me got to the end of that.
	I was going to talk about some other stuff, but have we got time?
	Because that's me done 20 minutes.
	I could go for a little bit more if you want.
	Shall we talk about Darius Davies getting...
	There's been some comedy news.
	So Chappelle and Rogan have defended themselves.
	Chappelle did a brilliant defence.
	I'm not actually sure.
	Exist.
	But the Chappelle defence, man, it was amazing.
	He was like, you know, I'll meet anyone to debate, to discuss anybody from the transgender community.
	And obviously he's got a lot of friends in the transgender community.
	So he's talking about, you know, the transgender community that complained, which probably isn't very many.
	I think most of the people who complained aren't transgender.
	They're just getting offended on behalf of other people.
	I've noticed, you know, the ones who complain are never the sort of convincing ones.
	But he said, yeah, I'll meet you, but there are a few conditions.
	There was like, you know, I'll meet wherever you want.
	And one of the conditions was, you've got to admit, Hannah Gadsby's not funny.
	And I just, I mean, I've been saying it.
	I've been saying it for years.
	She's shit.
	But for Chappelle to say it was great.
	So, yeah, Netflix has been firing people, apparently, and has been accused of retaliation and threats against trans and non-binary people.
	Dan Aykroyd wants offensive comedy cancelled.
	Now that he's had his decades of doing offensive comedy, he used to do James Brown's voice, all that kind of stuff.
	He did all kinds of stuff in the 80s.
	Dan Aykroyd now wants to cancel offensive comedy.
	It's a few tabs along if you want to find it.
	So along one more and along one more.
	Yeah, so Dan Aykroyd, here he is, dressed up.
	That's probably offensive to somebody.
	Yeah, and I used to live in Vancouver, Dan Aykroyd's Canadian, and he was always, man, he was always with, like, drunk and with young women.
	So, he's not, man, I hate it when these people come out and they're like, oh, I'm the moral arbiter, I'm the Dalai Lama.
	It's like, no, Dan, you're an alcoholic, you like...
	Well, he's the guy who plays Borat.
	You're like Poon Poon, and no, no, this is somebody else.
	No, no, no, do you know the guy who plays Borat?
	Oh, yeah, Sasha Baron Cohen.
	Do you remember when he came out with the ADL and was like, it's not funny.
	Jokes that are offensive need to be stopped.
	And it's like, you're borer.
	Was he serious?
	Yeah, yeah.
	He went and got an award from the ADL for being like, yes, I stand up against unfunny, offensive jokes, unlike mine, that are very good.
	And it's like, taking the piss.
	That's insane.
	That's insane.
	I thought he'd have more self-awareness.
	So the next tab is a friend of the show, Darius Davies.
	He was a judge on the Ding Dong Comedy Show at Vauxhall Comedy Club, which is a great night out.
	It's a great club.
	I love that club.
	I'm going to be a judge on the Ding Dong Comedy Show next Sunday.
	And, yeah, it's a great show.
	I mean, you sort of know what you're getting when you go into it.
	It's a gong show, so there's going to be a rowdy atmosphere, people getting gonged off.
	Also, it's advertised with, like, dildos.
	So I think you get dildos thrown at you or something instead of, you know, so you know it's not going to be...
	You do with your Saturday Sundays?
	Yeah.
	It's how you catch them.
	Yeah, so you know you're not going to get a TED Talk from the Women's Institute.
	It's going to be a fun, rowdy, bawdy show.
	And Darius was a judge.
	There's a group, a table of women, who are chatting all the way through the show.
	It's not like new acts coming up.
	It's a gong show.
	You've got new acts coming up.
	They're nervous.
	So it's really disrespectful and really distracting to the comedians to be chatting.
	And the MC apparently didn't, you know, contain the situation and didn't, you know, set the room up.
	No offence, Vittoria, but that's what I heard.
	And so Darius just addressed these women.
	He called them like dumb bitches for talking.
	And yeah, just said whatever he was saying.
	And then somebody has left the first ever one-star review for Voxel Comedy Club.
	And yeah, it's just...
	This guy was so aggressive towards the audience and trust me, he was not part of the show.
	He's called some girls dumb bitches because they're too chatty apparently.
	He made multiple offensive comments.
	You obviously were, you dumb bitch.
	Yeah, and the show would have been great without him.
	But she also wrote in...
	Actually, I wonder if I should be sharing this.
	It's a bit late now.
	Yeah, it's a bit late now.
	Well, maybe we won't show the actual...
	Should we end up there?
	Yeah, let's not show the actual letter.
	But she said that the comedian should have been...
	Security should have removed the comedian.
	Instead of removing the chatty people who weren't actually removed, they calmed down.
	It's not one of the women who was chatty and got told off for it that complained.
	It's somebody sitting on the back who turns out just wanted a free pizza.
	I love that you think you can get away with that.
	Go to a studio recording with a recording special and chat through that.
	See how that goes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then the entitlement to be like, oh, well, the comedian should be thrown out of the comedy club instead of distracting the comedian.
	You know what I mean?
	We're seeing more entitlement and more, you know, people really feel that, you know, it's about them rather than the comedy.
	All these people, they came up to hear me and my friends talk ass.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I mean, why would you go to a comedy club and talk?
	It's like going to a brothel and having a wank.
	LAUGHTER Hack MC in line, but it's totally true.
	So yeah, I'll leave that there.
	That's a beautiful ending.
	Oh, and the next, so if we go on a few more, skip the next couple.
	One more, one more, one more.
	So this one, so comedians are getting dumped from shows for liking Dave Chappelle.
	A woman shared a meme.
	It was the meme, it was basically saying, you know, Netflix staff were fine with cuties.
	Remember that sort of POS? Yeah, they were fine with the nonce stuff.
	Yeah, they're fine with the nonce stuff, but they down tools and walk out with Chappelle.
	And it's, you know, it's ridiculous.
	So the meme was just pointing that out.
	It wasn't, you know, transphobic in any way, shape or form.
	It was just, you know, a meme pointing out the dissonance there.
	And so a woman got dumped from a comedy show for sharing that meme.
	And I saw the thread.
	The guy who books it, it's late stage comedy, which is quite an apt title, but the guy who books it said that the person was disagreeable or aggressive.
	And I looked through the whole thread.
	She wasn't being disagreeable or aggressive.
	He was being disagreeable and aggressive and really barracking her into saying the right opinion.
	And she just wasn't getting pulled in it.
	So she's like, hey...
	Netflix is nonceflix.
	And this guy was like, I feel personally attacked by that.
	No!
	Jumps in front and is like, you can't perform at this comedy club and say such things.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, basically.
	And she obviously wasn't going to say.
	She has a completely different comedy.
	This is a meme she shared.
	It's not her comedy.
	How much are Netflix playing you, my friend?
	Yeah.
	For what?
	And again, it was the safetyism.
	So he said, you know, members of his staff wouldn't feel safe with somebody who shared this meme.
	I mean, what?!
	My staff wouldn't feel safe around someone who dislikes noncery.
	But there's a real undercurrent of misogyny with it as well.
	Because the woman who got cancelled is a woman.
	I spoke to her briefly.
	She seems very nice.
	She's certainly not transphobic.
	In the thread that he found so much objection with, one of her transgender friends came out and spoke in support, in defence of her.
	But this guy, who's the man, the gatekeeper, the white male gatekeeper...
	Has misogynistically kicked her off the show and still thinks that he's a hero.
	So yeah, that's all my news from the world of comedy cancellations.
	We'll have to get an intro and an outro for this because it feels like it's going to be literally every week.
	Who's cancelled today?
	I've got a new list.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, I mean, it's crazy how, you know, this stuff, it seems to, every week it seems to reach a new peak.
	And, you know, I always think, it's like London house prices.
	I'm like, when's it going to, when's it going to hit?
	Like nuclear war, no, house prices still keep going up.
	Pandemic house prices go up.
	We can all hope for it.
	No.
	Anyway, so we'll move on to Virginia.
	I guess, otherwise I'm going to say something about London.
	Oh, this is great.
	This is great.
	Learn new things about Harvey Weinstein every day.
	There was an election in Virginia and the Republicans won Team Red 1 over Team Blue and the media fallout from it is something that I think is beautiful and I thought we'd go through because it's just good fun.
	Because we're talking about here the corporate press, the mainstream press, whatever the hell you want to call them.
	These guys who are paid and bought for to sit there and tell you, Dem's good.
	And of course, Fox News exists, and no one else claims to be the left-wing version of Fox News.
	CNN here, for example, the neutral and objective CNN, who are totally not just blue Fox News.
	No, of course.
	Nah, except when they admit it live on TV, because every time they lose an election, they forget themselves.
	So let's play this first clip of Van Jones admitting that CNN is just democratic Fox News.
	This is a big deal.
	These numbers are bad.
	These are our voters.
	These are voters that came to us in 2018, came to us in 2020, and have abandoned us in droves in two states that should be in our column.
	That's a big deal.
	That is a five-alarm fire.
	I mean, could you get any more nakedly partisan at admission?
	I mean, we all knew, but it's very good to have it, quite frankly.
	I mean, him saying, our party.
	These are our voters.
	Left us.
	Who's the us?
	CNN. He's supposed to be a newsreader.
	Well, I mean, he is a newsreader.
	He's a host as well.
	He's one of the main faces of CNN. So, Van Jones saying all that.
	They also continue arguing in which they go on to talk about critical race theory in that segment, in the full thing, and they argue that Republicans just hate black people.
	Ergo...
	That's why they hate black nationalism?
	I'm not sure that works.
	I don't think hating white nationalism means you hate white people.
	But okay, apparently in reverse, that's the position.
	And to demonstrate this, we have Grabian who does a great job of scouring the news and collecting all the bits, because I know how mind-numbing that can be at times, especially when dealing with corporate stuff.
	And they did a good submission up here that we cut down and I thought we'd enjoy that, which is that loads of different press outlets just saying, "Yeah, well, we lost.
	Why?
	Why?
	What are the reasons?
	What did we learn?
	America's racist, that's why." So they lost because they kept banging on about, you know, racism.
	All white people are racist.
	That didn't work.
	Well, okay.
	Well, the reason we lost is because all white people are racist.
	Yeah.
	And bear in mind, this is a seat that was won by the Democrats.
	Or this, whatever place.
	This was won by 10 points by Joe Biden.
	And it's already...
	So they had a double-digit lead.
	And now it's flipped.
	And they managed to flip that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So let's play this.
	He did stoke white grievance politics to mobilize the Republican base.
	He's laundered Trump's really sort of disgusting, flagrant out-racism.
	He's wrapped it in education.
	Education, which is code for white parents don't like the idea of teaching about race.
	That's the fundamental problem for these parents and this anti-CRT movement.
	They don't like the way whiteness is being portrayed in these new, more inclusive lessons.
	The subtext of all this was, we can't let these black and brown people run the country.
	I think all the CRT stuff is trumped up dog whistling.
	Some of it was dog whistle racism.
	The dog whistle messaging that you saw Yunkin engage in during the course of the campaign.
	This is about the fact that a good chunk of voters out there are okay with white supremacy.
	That's the narrative.
	That's insane.
	I mean, the people who are, you know, they say a dog whistle around racism.
	That's not coming from the Republicans.
	That's coming from the Democrats.
	The Democrats are constantly banging on about, you know, using racist as a pejorative to attack people when they're not racist.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it couldn't get...
	Like, this is typical shtick, right?
	Just call the Reds racist because Republicans racist.
	And that's the wealthy.
	That's the campaign strategy.
	What I love is just this specific series of campaigns, though, of course.
	If we get this one up here, I mean, we just have the, let's say, Republican propaganda here.
	America choose wisely.
	If we click on this, Judd, you can get the Republican candidate versus the Democratic candidate.
	This is the decision in one of the races.
	I mean, this is the decision you've got.
	You've got the Republican there on the left with the gun, and then you've got the Democrat on the right with his blackface in Klanhood, and this is him at Halloween party, apparently.
	They held it just in Trudeau's house by the looks of it.
	I know, right?
	But you could not get a worse campaign to try and just argue racism, racism, racism, racism, and then we lost.
	Wow, racism, racism, racism.
	Ha ha ha!
	What are you talking about?
	She won.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No duh, she won.
	I mean, you know, it's unbelievable that they would try that tactic.
	But then the left would say she's like got internalized whiteness or something.
	Yeah, she is white because she...
	I mean, that's the funny thing.
	They mentioned in that segment in there.
	That they were saying that white people can't handle the fact the way whiteness is being portrayed in these new and inclusive spaces in which we live.
	The way whiteness is portrayed in critical race theory is like some demigod of an institution.
	I mean, they define whiteness as like hard work, speaking properly, being wealthy, having power.
	And it's like, right, okay, so white is basically just being successful in their view.
	It's like, I think black people can do that too, which is why they end up calling people like her, you know, the poster ladies of white supremacy, or Larry Elder, the poster boy of white supremacy, or the blackface of white supremacy, because he's successful.
	And that's why the Democrats are losing the voters of colour.
	the Hispanic vote, which the Democrat strategy has been for...
	So you've got a lot of young voters, you know, a growing young voting population.
	They thought that was going to carry them.
	And in particular, the growing Hispanic vote, they thought that was going to carry the Democrat vote.
	Basically white.
	They switch way away from the Democrats.
	Because they identify...
	A lot of Hispanic people have got traditional family values.
	They work hard.
	They own businesses.
	So, you know, those are fairly right-wing values.
	But also, this particular race was along the lines of critical race theory specifically.
	And we'll demonstrate that in a minute.
	Which is hugely unpopular with a lot of...
	What's the argument to brown people?
	It's that you're inferior.
	You're victims of the system.
	Therefore, come with us.
	And it's like, I'm not inferior.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Get stuffed.
	And coming up with terms like, so they came up with Latinx.
	So this is a gender-neutral term for Hispanic people who are, you know, Latina or Latino.
	And it turns out that Latina and Latino people, perfectly happy with Latina and Latino.
	They didn't want some, like, white, like, gender studies graduate coming in and being like, oh, no, no, no, no, you're Latinx.
	You're gender-neutral.
	You know what I mean?
	We're helping you.
	We're giving you this gender-neutral term.
	So it wasn't as popular.
	So the thing with critical race theory as well, as I mentioned, it being the primary issue on this election, by the looks of it, by the polling at least, is we actually have a nice little bee fight going on here as well.
	Tulsi Gabbard versus the Young Turks, which I was not expecting.
	So Tulsi Gabbard here, and you can see her typing out that the loss is a victory for all Americans, the Democratic loss.
	Why?
	She's a Democrat, remember?
	Yeah.
	Because it was a resounding rejection of efforts to divide us by race, the stripping of parental rights, and the arrogant deaf leaders.
	This benefits us all, and then massive support for her for making the obvious point that, yeah, the promotion of critical race theory within my party is destroying it.
	It's why we're unpopular.
	People can't stand us the way we talk about race, never mind the fact that we bleed them over the head with it every two minutes.
	And yeah, quite frankly, if we lose elections, in which that's the big issue, and we're on the side of promoting it, good, because I want it out of the party.
	Yeah, I mean, all glory to her.
	What's the response?
	Basically, a right-winger now.
	That's what she is.
	So we go to the House of Republicans, pointing out that, yes, she's right to say that it is the main issue, just by the polling, as we have talked about previously.
	You can see here, just Fox analysis showing that it was the top fact of a quarter of voters, 72% saying it was important.
	I mean, you think, you know, usually the economy is the thing that gets that kind of polling.
	No, this got that kind of polling.
	If we carry on, we have, of course, the Democratic candidate who decided to come out and say that you had no rights to what your kids were being taught in the classroom, and then insisting that everyone clap that, which, well, they ain't clapping now, are they?
	So if we carry on, so if we go to the last one here, we have MSNBC responding to all this as well.
	I don't know if I did throw in Schenck or not.
	I assume later on I did.
	I did, so we'll get to that in a minute.
	But anyway, so this is MSNBC responding to the whole situation.
	So we have Tulsi making the point, which is that this election was about critical race theory.
	People can't stand that.
	You can see it just by the response as well.
	What was the problem?
	Well, people just hate us because they're racist.
	No, they just oppose your race nonsense.
	MSNBC responded by saying that critical race theory wasn't real.
	So let's play this.
	I think we know the answer to some of this.
	I watched Glenn Youngkin's interviews on Fox News, and he did nothing.
	He did not...
	I mean, he worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump on Fox News.
	He flew an insurrection flag at his rallies.
	He simply didn't...
	He played dumb about a Zoom rally.
	He did not really put much distance between himself and Donald Trump on the big lie or the deadly insurrection in which police officers were maimed by flagpoles.
	So I think that the real ominous thing is that critical race theory Which isn't real.
	Turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican.
	What do Democrats do about that?
	I love it.
	It's not real.
	Okay, that's going to be convincing.
	I mean, the fact that you people were coming for people's kids turned the suburbs 15 points, as she's saying.
	But if we just say it's not real, we'll get them back.
	Not a strategy.
	But of course, we have that.
	We also have the rest of MSNBC being the left-wing outlet for this.
	And of course, you have Joy Reid, who has spent all her time trying to jump in the front of Critical Racer to defend its honour whenever it gets pointed out that it's absurd.
	And we'll play this next clip of her trying to defend that.
	Do you adjust with this new propaganda disinformation, barely veiled dog whistle race stuff?
	Or do you keep trying to fight on, you know, policy?
	This is the problem with Democrats.
	They want to do the latter.
	They seem to believe that if they just Google good government policy, that somehow people will understand that they are better for them.
	It's better for you to be with us because we're going to give you this policy, this policy, and this policy, while the Republicans are fighting with a sledgehammer.
	They're using like a blowtorch and Democrats are coming out with like a fork.
	They don't understand.
	And Democrats also, I hate to say this, and it may sound mean, but the Democratic Party has not developed the reflex of defending black voters.
	They don't know how to do it.
	Even though African American voters overwhelmingly, and brown voters, and all voters who are in a minority, they don't know how to openly defend them because they're so afraid of offending that suburban white voter who might be uncomfortable on race, and they're so desperate to get back To be able to win white voters again, they don't have the reflex and truly don't have the language to robustly defend their core voter.
	They haven't been able to defend them on civil rights legislation.
	They prefer to just drop the entire attempt to pass voting rights and really defend it.
	And on critical race theory, you have to come back with something and have an answer.
	They haven't figured out how to answer this racist truth.
	I mean, I love that.
	It's a weird admission.
	It's essentially, look, we get hammered on critical race theory.
	This election, we got hammered on this thing.
	And we need a response to that.
	And when the Republicans turn up and say, hey, this is evil.
	Stop teaching in classrooms.
	Stop trying to push it on kids.
	Stop trying to push it in the workplace.
	And the response from the Democrats is, you know, you don't really know what to do.
	They can double down, which makes everyone hate them.
	Well, that doesn't work.
	And then Joy Reid noticing, Yeah, so I've spent my career for the last four years, whatever it is for her, just promoting her stuff, defending it, and they're slowly realizing that, yeah, actually, publicly, when we try and defend this stuff to voters, it don't work, and the Republicans have really got us.
	I mean, this election being the prime example, as she points out herself, which...
	I mean, amazing that they have that level of self-awareness at least, but they don't have an answer.
	They don't have an answer at all on how they're going to defend themselves on that basis.
	I also love how she tries to put it in the words of defending the black community.
	Black nationalism doesn't defend anyone.
	In the same way white nationalism doesn't defend anyone.
	It's a waste of time.
	Anyway, so if you want an insight into critical race theory as well, of course, we have this premium podcast from Carl.
	He's been going through the Bible.
	I'm sure he's shown you it.
	And this is just an overview of all the essays in there, so go check that out.
	But if we get to Cenk Uygur, which I was mentioning, Cenk Uygur responded to Tulsi pointing out that, yes, we need to reform if the left is ever going to mean anything ever again.
	Cenk Uygur responds, Tulsi Gabbard is obvious, obvious right-winger now.
	And so anyone who is still a fanboy of hers, turncoats like this, who are clearly doing it for the money and attention, are truly sickening.
	Critical racer isn't taught in any school in Virginia, you effing obvious liar.
	Daring to say that, hey, you know this thing that the parts of the left keep promoting, and I'm still here because I'm a Democrat, says Tulsi?
	I think we should get rid of that so the Democratic Party could be popular or useful or do anything good.
	And the response is, ah, right-wing, I get lost.
	And of course, he's obviously just lying.
	We have Nuance Bro pointing this out, which is good, so we've got the next one on this.
	Nuance Bro pointing out that, well, yes, in 2015, you have the documents because people keep leaking that you keep saying things such as we need to embrace critical race theory in order to re-engineer attitudes and belief systems.
	You can see in these, if you scroll down a little bit more, the highlighted parts there of the document.
	So, yeah.
	Anyway, that's enough of that.
	I thought we'd enjoy some fan fiction real quick.
	Yeah.
	So there's a lot of fan fiction coming out of CNN as well.
	So Brian Stelter specifically, who decided to respond to all of this by saying it was an assault on democracy.
	As in, they lost, therefore democracy ends, because this is the game that American politics lives in, which is, you know, that game.
	Anyway, so let's go through his clip here, in which he says that what Trump is going to do, turning up.
	Well, one way to do it is by mapping out the road ahead.
	So let's take a look at the stops along the way, because so much of what might happen in the next three years is sadly predictable.
	Imagine it's 2022.
	Right-wing media keeps pummeling President Biden, weakening him, calling him a tyrant one minute and senile the next.
	Donald Trump is in complete control of the GOP, and his entire political existence is premised on the big lie.
	He launches his own version of Twitter, and he streams a talk show on the web.
	And to, quote, save America, red states continue to place new restrictions on voting rights.
	Now imagine it's 2023.
	Trump officially announces he is running again.
	New fan groups organize in private Facebook groups.
	They call themselves the Trumpets.
	They pledge to share only real news about the candidate to get around the CNNs of the world.
	Of course, their real news is largely misinformation.
	Beatings at rallies, bombs at newsrooms.
	The bombs don't explode, but that's beside the point.
	Fear is the point.
	They start to publish explicit enemies' lists.
	Landlords board up downtown windows.
	Maybe looting starts.
	Shooting starts.
	I'm not saying that all of this will happen, but I'm saying it could.
	We know it could happen because it has all happened before.
	Almost everything I have described has already happened.
	Yeah, it has, Brian.
	Yeah, but not by Republicans.
	It happened in 2020.
	I don't know if you remember, when the looting starts, the shooting starts, is a quote from Donald Trump talking about the riots that the BLM types and the Antifa types were doing across the country.
	I mean, he's saying it could happen.
	I'm not saying it's gonna, but remember, it might.
	And he's like, yeah, it did.
	2020.
	And in 2016.
	You do this every single time.
	It's like clockwork at this point.
	The only other part in that that doesn't seem to be the case is him saying that reporters are going to get sent bombs and beat up.
	I love how he's sort of like, you know that meme where the guy sets up a bunch of paper fire and then sits in the corner going, ah, help me.
	That's it.
	He's just like, yeah, but what if people start sending bombs to my office?
	Teehee.
	It hasn't happened.
	I don't know what you're doing, but okay.
	Yeah, and this sort of fantasizing, like everybody said when Trump got elected, it was, you know, he was a fascist leader and it was going to be, you know, and it just didn't happen like that, you know what I mean?
	He was quite an entertaining leader.
	Yeah, I mean, actually competent as well, which is the best thing.
	I don't know if competent is the word I'd go for.
	Compared to what?
	Compared to what though?
	Compared to Joe Biden's performance?
	Yeah, I mean, like, well, if you're talking about performance, I mean, what he did was...
	That's what I'd get to.
	Yeah, he freed the market and gave loads of tax breaks.
	So it wasn't, you know, it wasn't him.
	It wasn't his policy so much as his lack of...
	I think it showed that government works best when it's not doing anything.
	When it's not getting involved.
	Largely, yes, but it's also, there are a lot of decisions you have to make at the executive level, regardless of your...
	Ideology.
	Ideology, that's easy to say.
	So instead of, regardless of that, so for example, the Keystone XL pipeline or all the rest of it, I mean, the energy independence that he got for America, which had been working on for a while, but he was the one who finally got it there, Biden killed overnight.
	I mean, just de facto did.
	I mean, that's an achievement you can point to that has been destroyed.
	And that's one version of fan fiction.
	But there was also another bit in there that I found funny, which is he mentions that Republicans are going to change the laws at state levels to try and, like, rake the election or something.
	He's like, okay, we've heard that before.
	And I remembered it was actually a segment from Bill Maher, which we can't play because of copyright concerns, but I'll go through just his thinking in here.
	It's his dark prediction for 2024.
	Ooh.
	What are the Republicans going to do?
	Here's how he moves.
	So he says...
	There's a slow-moving coup going on, he argues.
	First thing is that Trump is purging all the anti-Trump conservatives, such as Liz Cheney, and then he's going to fix the elections at the state level by changing the election laws, right?
	What was the accusation against the Dems?
	We'll leave that there.
	And also then that Kamala Harris will be in the position that Mike Pence was in, and she should overturn the election because, quote...
	The difference being, this time the results really are phony.
	I like Bill Maher, he's an interesting character, he's able to pull out BS on the left, but I couldn't go over how in this segment, people really should go watch the full thing, it's a shame we can't play it because it's copyright.
	He literally just argues, he goes through and he's like, yeah, so the Republicans are going to do these things that they accused us of last time, and then what we should do is what Mike Pence didn't do.
	We should just overthrow it because we believe it's phony.
	Yeah.
	The level of like, I don't care.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Okay, okay, Bill.
	I mean, that's where you're going with this.
	And Trump's the one destroying democracy?
	Yeah, remember, Trump was trying to overthrow the country and the glory of Mike Pence saved the republic.
	But if it was our guy, sorry, lass, we should just do it.
	We should just ignore the result.
	Okay, rightio.
	And that's the slow-moving coup by Bill Maher.
	I love the fan fiction.
	Anyway, we'll end this with an interview which Donald Trump gave in regards to the election going on.
	A couple million of paintings.
	He was talking about Hunter Biden's getting paid ridiculous.
	So he's just going to take up painting and then charge a couple million of painting just to make a point.
	He's like, yeah, go for it.
	Why not?
	A couple million views on this.
	I'd like one.
	Yeah, so anyway, Trump's been giving his interviews about this.
	I'm looking forward to the Hunter Biden film.
	So Lawrence Fox is playing Hunter Biden in a fourth film.
	Yeah, it's going to be amazing.
	I thought it was just a Halloween piece.
	I've seen some pictures from the set, and it looks hilarious.
	I'm looking forward to that.
	It looks brilliant.
	Anyway, but I'll give you the summation of this interview, because again, we'll probably get copyright strike if we do, which is, my expectations were low, but holy F. Everything's gone to hell.
	Anyway, that's the fallout from the Virginia.
	You can see the corporate press, and also Donald Trump having a good time again, which seems to be having a good time these days.
	Yeah!
	Enjoying retirement.
	Send that there.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Interesting view.
	Glad you're enjoying it, Joe.
	You're in the rain.
	A Soviet scientist, Shafarinich, who has nothing to do with religion, he's a computer scientist, did a very intensive research on the history of socialist countries.
	He calls socialist or communist any country with a centralized economy and the pyramidal style of power structure.
	Shafarevich goes back to Egypt, South America, China and even medieval Europe and reaches a stunning conclusion about what socialism truly is.
	I'm going to write that down.
	Socialist phenomenon.
	There's a...
	I've got a bit of a rule, which is that I'm trying to not say the word communist, because there's just...
	Especially when describing socialist countries, you should just use the term socialist.
	Right.
	Because if we don't, I feel like it lets people, especially Owen Jones or Ash Sharker types, get away from the situation.
	They're like, I'm a socialist, that's totally different.
	Shut up.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I'm not wasting my time with these people.
	No, it's the same ideology, same camp.
	Yeah.
	Let's get to the next one.
	As you might know, we here in Denmark are very, very concerned about climate change, so much so that we insist the rest of the world must have windmills, and I assure you, I assure you, we have no ulterior motives at all.
	I'm just gonna leave this here.
	This is the thing with Scotland.
	Scotland was supposed to have 130,000.
	The SNP promised 130,000 new jobs from clean, green energy tech.
	And there's hardly any because they're being made in Denmark and France and places.
	That's interesting, though, because I see that's ranked by total capacity.
	I assume it's of sales or something like that.
	But you've got China at number three there.
	Yeah.
	I mean, great.
	And at number five.
	God damn it.
	Of course you do.
	Right.
	So if you combine them, they're probably, what, second, first?
	So when you're buying all this stuff, you're also buying it from China.
	Yeah.
	So the place where all the emissions are coming from.
	Yeah, and flying over China, you see a lot of wind farms.
	Fantastic.
	Let's go to the next one.
	My Canadian Hospital Experience Part 2.
	What I now know to be a sizable gallstone is what was causing me pain in the waiting room after the ambulance brought me to the hospital so when my name was called I was huffing and puffing basically hyperventilating and I have minor asthma too so I don't wear a mask at the best of times but when I get up to go Struggling for air.
	What do they tell me?
	The attendee says, put on your mask.
	And the nurse says, put on your mask.
	It's not, how are you doing?
	Do you need help?
	Just put on your mask.
	That's the only thing that...
	And I just stared at them with a death stare.
	Like, really?
	I mean, I don't know.
	I mean, that guy's got to be exempt.
	That's, you know, medically, that's got to be a medical exemption right there.
	I assume he got surgery as well, gallbladder surgery or whatever.
	He said he was causing pain in the waiting area.
	Is that what he refers to his genitals as?
	My understanding is that getting stones in your gallbladder is apparently worse than pregnancy.
	Yeah, I heard, like, my dad had, well, he had a kidney stone, not a gallstone.
	Is it the same thing?
	Different thing.
	Different thing.
	Yeah, like, agony.
	Like a red-hot poker.
	Yeah, I've heard kidney stones are terrible as well, but there's stories of, like, women who went through childbirth and then had to go through a gallbladder surgery, and their response is, I'd rather go through the childbirth again than the surgery.
	You know why that is?
	Because childbirth is a piece of piss.
	especially compared to the gulp so you can definitely say that you've done worse than your wife in terms of pain in your life there this is a response to Tucker Education is actually an end of itself.
	The failure is our society's insistence that so many jobs and pay raises are tied to educational level.
	The majority of technical degrees would be better earned via high school or secondary education prep and two to four years of apprenticeship.
	We're using university as a trade school because someone correlated higher education with material success and inferred causation.
	Yeah, that's probably true.
	Yeah.
	Something I noticed doing STEM at university, it felt like if you actually wanted to get a job in STEM in industry, apprenticeship would be the best way to organise that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	There is no reason to go to university.
	I know, because I studied film and media at university, completely pointless degree, and I learned more.
	So I had four years at university, and I learned more in two weeks working at a radio station.
	And then I learned in four years because it was just, you know, there was very little practical stuff.
	And, you know, when you're actually working on the job, you're learning the tech that they're actually using and you're using it.
	So, you know, you learn a lot a lot more.
	I mean, why do we trade all these people?
	It's so they can go into those jobs or replace people who are getting old, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So why not just give the old guy a huge grant and say, look, here's a boy, trade him up to do your job, and then when you have to leave, we've got the boy.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Anyway.
	Hmm.
	That's a good system.
	Who are we sponsored by?
	Evan Durston.
	So, I'm staying in the apartment of someone I know, and, uh...
	Having looked through her kitchen, I have realized that's a bit of a mess.
	So for the next half hour, however long it takes for me to clean all of this up, I'm going to be listening to some British people talk about politics.
	Cheers, lads.
	Well, I mean, I guess thank you.
	We should probably make them do it.
	I mean, they'll leave you that kind of mess and you're doing it.
	Yeah, I like how Lotus Eaters is popular in the free world, in the new world, like America and stuff.
	I feel like they're kind of laughing at us sometimes.
	Especially with the guns, where they're just like, yeah, so we have all these freedoms, and they're showing it off.
	Although my dad used to have a gun so big it's banned in America.
	We're legal here.
	Is it called a punt gun?
	Punt gun, yeah.
	I might have mentioned it.
	Let's go to the next one.
	The Republicans are right about everything.
	Don't defund the police, don't muzzle kids, and I have a need for religion.
	I half agree with that.
	Well, yeah, and if you're not with them, you're against them.
	I mean, I don't know, it's just a theory.
	Let me know what you think.
	Disgrateful.
	He doesn't offer anything productive.
	What?
	I mean...
	LMAO. I have some cope now, though.
	F you, you know, LMAO. Don't be surprised when you get shot.
	No, quite.
	Goodbye.
	Freudio.
	I enjoy those jump cuts.
	Although I have some problems with Republican platforms, but there's never anything that's interfering with your life or existentially evil.
	Yeah.
	Like, oh, they've got these things that are wrong or just stupid.
	I was like, oh, okay.
	Yeah, but they're not going to try and change a kid into something abominable.
	Yeah.
	Let's go to the next one.
	He sends in video comments.
	He hasn't for a while, actually.
	Where have you been, Craig?
	Here I am.
	Unintelligible Australian claptrap.
	Australians all let hearts rejoice.
	And Cooper, all right.
	All right.
	I'll buy your freaking book!
	She's brilliant.
	You've got to get her on the show.
	Yeah, she's good fun.
	Also, cscooper.com.au because it's burned into my mind.
	I can go away and still come back and remember that.
	Also, Helen Dale hates the Australian National Anthem.
	I don't know what the Australian's subscribed view on it is.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Tom, I think you're right.
	There are chronic cases I didn't cover, but unfortunately, given that 30-second time restriction, I have to cut out a lot of the nuance I wish I could add to meet that.
	Not that I'm demeaning you, Tom, but Carl, you understood my point perfectly in absence of that nuance.
	And while my prescriptive statement may seem to be targeting everyone, I didn't intend it that way.
	I just think in a majority of cases, more people need to be interrogated whether they need the degree and whether it is worth the investment, but so many people believe that they will just be better off with a degree when that is just a gross oversimplification on the value of higher education.
	Don't really have anything to say about that.
	We talked about the apprenticeship thing earlier, so let's go to the next one.
	The medium is the message.
	They're saying it's about the climate, sustainability, and saving the world.
	But that is just the red meat there to distract us from the medium.
	So what medium are they using?
	They're using the medium of fear.
	They're using the medium of panic.
	That's all you really need to know.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Totally true.
	I wonder, have you been following the COP26 stuff?
	Yeah, yeah, I have a bit.
	I'm going up to Glasgow, hopefully, today.
	I'm supposed to get the train, but I think I might have screwed my timings up.
	But I'm going up to Glasgow to make a film about it.
	I wonder, like, is...
	I don't know, like, how long are your friends in Scotland?
	Because down here it feels like it's been bombasted into every media outlet constantly because they want people to look at it.
	I imagine in Scotland it's even worse.
	Like, you just can't escape it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And the S&P, you know, it's very much a sort of, you know, one-party state, like a mini sort of North Korea.
	So, yeah, they've really taken over.
	Glasgow...
	And it's causing problems for people.
	I've got friends who are supposed to be going to Edinburgh this weekend, and they can't get accommodation.
	All the accommodation prices, Uber prices, everything like that has gone sky high.
	And, you know, people can't get, you know, there's a ring of steel and all the roads are blocked and stuff, so people can't get from the bouquets to the pub.
	Life's ruined.
	What's the point in it now?
	Let's go to the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan pulling a C.S. Cooper today, thanks to Sophie, talking about my books, The Pioneers, books 1 through 7, Comedy, Horror in South Jersey, my political satire books, Woke a Standard Novel, and Holly Woke, another novel, Because All Wokeness Turns to S. Check out my Amazon page for all my other books, and if you like comics, check out my webcomic site, The Web Comic Factory, at thewebcomicfactory.com, superfrat at superfrat.com, and videos four times a day at YouTube, Bitshoot, and Rumble.
	Alright, cool.
	Well, there you go.
	Let's want to meet him.
	Do we know whether the jury in the Rittenhouse trial has been or will be sequestered?
	I ask because I remember what happened with the Chauvin trial.
	And I suspect the Rittenhouse trial will not be fair unless the jury is sequestered, despite how base the judge appears.
	And it's not just Kyle that needs this trial to be fair.
	I have no idea.
	I'm unaware.
	Have you been following the Rittenhouse trial?
	No, not yet.
	I saw some of it.
	I saw some.
	They couldn't refer to him as a shooter or something.
	I think they couldn't refer to the people he shot as victims.
	That's right.
	That's what it was.
	That's what they decided.
	Prejudices the jury.
	To be honest, that does make sense in a court case because you've got to keep those things those way.
	But I would have thought they would have done the same for him, like a certain word you can't call him or something like that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I don't know.
	I mean, I guess Shooter would be allowed because he did shoot.
	Yeah, that's demonstrable.
	Yeah, but it's an interesting case.
	You know, it's going to be like big ramifications.
	Yeah, I'm enjoying the memes coming out of it.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if you've seen that.
	It's just like, I think it was a New York Post or something.
	We're posting like angrily being like, Kyle Rittenhouse yawns in his court case.
	Yeah.
	Like, four pictures of him going, oh!
	Yeah, yeah.
	When they bring up the cross-state lines, oh!
	He's like, don't care.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And also, he's there all day.
	He's going to yawn sometimes.
	I mean, you can't constantly be alert.
	I mean, what's his name?
	The cop in the Floyd case just wore a mask the whole time he sat there.
	So if he was yawning, no one knew.
	Yeah.
	There are some good memes coming out of that, especially ones which we can't talk about thanks to British criminal law.
	So let's move on.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Okay, right.
	I just got back from a bacon grease break, you know.
	Yesterday was a little difficult.
	Okay, right.
	We lost Virginia.
	You know, Virginia, they got it wrong, and Kyle Rittenhouse is on trial.
	Now, is Kyle Rittenhouse guilty?
	Of course he's guilty.
	Okay, right.
	No straight white male needs an AK-15.
	Okay, people will be like, oh, but what about the Founding Fathers?
	No, okay, no, that's not what they meant.
	I don't know if you get the reference.
	He does impressions all the time.
	Oh, right, right.
	So that's Cenk Yuga.
	I don't know if you're familiar with Cenk.
	Right, right.
	I'll check it out.
	Check it out!
	They've been freaking out about Kyle Rittenhouse as well, especially his co-host Anna Kasparian, who's obsessed with, like, he crossed state lines.
	Right, yeah, yeah.
	Don't care!
	It's like 30 minutes crossing an imaginary line in the ground.
	I thought left-wing people were all for people crossing imaginary lines in the ground.
	It's not like he went to Canada or something, though.
	He crossed the state line.
	That's not crime.
	Not relevant.
	What's wrong with you?
	I don't know why they got stuck on that point.
	You would have thought they'd be arguing that the guys who got shot did nothing wrong, but they did, and then got shot.
	I don't know if you know one of them's a pedo.
	One of them was a pedo, and the other one was clearly about to attack him.
	Skateboard.
	Yeah, skateboard.
	I don't know why you'd bring a skateboard to an AK-47 fight.
	The other guy brought a pistol and got shot in the...
	Yeah, yeah, saw that, man.
	That was brutal.
	I mean, I would have thought it's open shop, but I don't know if there's some technicalities in there or some footage I haven't seen.
	Let's go to the next one.
	First, thank you for the response to my previous question.
	I appreciate the thoroughness.
	You slightly touched on this in the previous episode, but Glenn Youngkin notably ran and won without invoking Trump often and actually avoided appearing on stage with him entirely.
	Jack Tittarelli did the same in New Jersey and almost won in an upset as well.
	What, if any, are the implications of a conservative movement without Trump?
	And do you think the strategy of avoiding the cult of personality might spread internationally?
	Thank you and I hope you're well.
	It's a good question.
	First thing on my mind was actually, is that PewDiePie chair?
	But that's a relevant point.
	Movement without Trump.
	I mean, it's strange because he's making the point, and it seems to be true, which is that some of the Republicans who have won recently haven't made a huge deal of I'm the Trump guy, although they have got endorsed by Trump.
	And Trump's response before and after the election, especially with this one, was, you know, don't you forget it.
	Like, he literally issued a statement afterwards being like, you know, and the guy I endorsed won, and he should remember that I endorsed him in my movement.
	Yeah, yeah.
	What's this about?
	Yeah.
	Well, he's sort of, yeah, I mean, he's trying to claim, I mean, who would have thought Trump would try to claim?
	I mean, you would if you hit him, right?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, absolutely, man.
	Trump thinks the sun rises in the morning because of him.
	But I think, yeah, Trump is a divisive figure.
	Shocking to say.
	I think Republicans really need a Tulsi Gabbard type.
	Well, let's just recruit her.
	Oh my god.
	Could you imagine if he made her her VP for the next run?
	She should just be the P. And he can be the VP. I can't imagine him going for that.
	But yeah, if Tulsi Gabbard jumped ship to the...
	You feel like you could trust Tulsi Gabbard to not F it up?
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	100%.
	She's amazing.
	Well, there we are.
	I mean, that's not my recommendation.
	That movement without Trump, I mean, put Tulsi in charge.
	Although I do wonder, because they may end up with the same problem the Dems have got now.
	I mean, who do you replace it with?
	I mean, you've got Ronda Sanchez, who's doing a great job, so I guess he's the next in line for a conservative in the conservative movement to do that thing.
	But I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Hey, guys.
	I just wanted to apologize for giving some unlicensed financial advice in my last video comment.
	But I do think it's important that we talk about prudent financial management.
	It's really no surprise that we've got so many young communists disillusioned with capitalism when our education system does such a piss poor job of teaching financial management.
	I think it's also an important part of dadism to be able to manage your resources effectively.
	Yeah, they teach it in schools.
	They actually did start rolling that out when I was at second level school.
	Alright, cool.
	There were some classes we took, I think it was like year 11.
	It was very small.
	That's why you're richer than me.
	Damn I. I don't know.
	Anyway, but the classes were mostly just like, hey, taxes exist, and this is why they do them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	This is why you should pay them.
	Yeah.
	The guy, luckily, the guy, he was from South Africa, and he was just like, it's a scam!
	The whole thing's a scam!
	It's like...
	He's a good guy.
	He's a math teacher as well.
	So, I mean, yeah, they do need to roll that out.
	We should talk about financial stuff.
	I mean, we have on occasion spoken about, like, Lysa in the UK. I don't know if there's an offer on them, but it's just free money.
	I mean, it's your tax money getting back.
	I don't know if you know what a Lysa is.
	Lifetime ISA? Yeah, so in the UK, I don't know if they've changed them now, but when I got it, so I've got mine, you put in a grand and you get...
	Sorry, you put in a pound and you get 25p back up to 4,000.
	So if you put in four grand over a year, you get a grand back for free.
	Free money!
	It's just like, well, okay.
	And the catch is that you have to spend it on a house.
	I'm like...
	Yeah, but I kind of want one of them, so it's not really a catch.
	Yeah, although one grand towards a house in London, that's like...
	Yeah, sure, if you're going for London...
	A grain of sand, you know what I mean?
	You can start at 18, and if you get your parents to pay into it or something, instead of you...
	Oh, can you do it every year?
	Yeah, so every year.
	So you start at 18, and by the time you're 24 or something, you've got a stack of cash in there, which will do the deposit.
	It's like, well, there we go.
	That's advice we can give, if it's still there.
	I don't know if the government's deleted it, because, you know, money...
	Anyway, let's go to the written comments on the site real quick, because we've got five minutes left.
	So, on the human NPC, let's try everyone here.
	So, HR Slave says, every single Conservative MP should be banging on about Claudia's conviction right now.
	Just like with David and Mess killing, they're missing another opportunity to shine a light on how awful Labour and its ministers are.
	Yeah, I don't get what's wrong with them.
	Like, just campaigning-wise.
	Like, real politic.
	You know...
	The Labour Party does not wait a minute to try and make an advantage of anything.
	It could be the killing of an MP, such as Joe Cox, or anything else.
	They have no shame because politics is a dirty, dirty game.
	And the Conservative Party just doesn't.
	Sorry, what are you...
	Okay, whatever.
	So, Marcus Millennial says Claudia is the mental health diversity hire of the Labour Party.
	Sure is.
	She's also a great advert against diversity hires.
	She literally was a diversity hire.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, there's your results.
	Threatening woman with acid.
	Jimbo G says Claudia Webb is the final boss of a social media progressive grifters.
	The fact that she's so used to it to get into a position of power is funded by the taxpayer and can never be criticized for her actions ever is a disgrace.
	It being so blatantly might be a good thing in the long run since she's playing the same game as many.
	She's really just about hiding it.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That's why I like her, to be honest.
	I mentioned before, she's my favourite MP because it's so transparent.
	There's no pretense.
	There's no secretly I'm fighting for the cause or workers.
	No, it's just me.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Alright, fine.
	Good.
	Someone said it, finally.
	The MP I can point to and be like, this is what Labour MPs are like.
	Yeah.
	So Baron Von Warhawk.
	What?
	I can't threaten and kill and mutilate people if I don't like.
	You must be a bigot.
	Probably Claudia Webb.
	So let's go on to the Terry Gillum stuff, so questions for you here.
	A student of history says comedy is harmful authoritarians most affected.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so comedy is harming the authoritarians.
	Yeah.
	No, it does.
	You know, any dictator that gets into power, they first...
	Like the Taliban.
	They first came after, they executed the comedians.
	They go after the comedians, the journalists, and lawyers and judges as well.
	Anybody that can, like, reveal the truth.
	The Nazis did the same way people were mocking them.
	They just went around the clubs and just killed them all.
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's a joke that I found out.
	It's not true.
	It's a lovely story, which is that when the Nazis invaded the Soviets, the first person they killed at the border was a clown.
	It's not true, but it's a lovely story.
	Well, not lovely.
	It's a lovely story to make the point.
	Soviet clowns.
	Alfred the Bader, the old Vic turned the blind eyed Kevin Spacey's sexual assaults for 11 years.
	He was an artistic director, but Terry Gillum liking Dave Chappelle as a bridge too far.
	These people are the worst subverted and demoralised soulless husks.
	Strong words, Yeah.
	I mean, you know, the same goes for the BBC. Anyone ever getting interviewed by the BBC, just bring up, you know, if you don't like them, just bring up Jimmy Savile.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's the end of the interview, isn't it?
	I'm not getting invited back.
	So, Paul Newbar, the left stole the words safe, harm, and violence and transmogrified them into weapons.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Robert Longshore says the worst part of the Weinstein situation is everyone knows that one woman who would position themselves forcibly, if required, to suck a D to get ahead in their chosen profession.
	Now remember, those same mercenary women will have no qualms over destroying the lives of men whose Ds were sucked.
	If it furthers their careers again, two paychecks, one suck.
	I don't know, but there are some awful women out there who have made just false allegations.
	So the fact that that could happen, a person would be soulless.
	I mean, it's possible, isn't it?
	Yeah, and also we're seeing, you know, so women, lesbians that are coming forward and complaining they're being pressured into sex with transgender women who identify as lesbians or whatever.
	Basically, you know, transgender women.
	So people are saying, oh no, you're being transphobic.
	And it's like, well, why?
	Well, you're being a rape Yeah, why can't we...
	Why do we believe all women apart from these women?
	You know what I mean?
	Do you see the BBC article?
	You know the BBC article that blew up?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I just love that there were some protests afterwards where some people were holding signs.
	I don't know if you saw them.
	There was literally like a trans person, right?
	Holding a sign.
	Not passable.
	Yeah.
	Quincidental.
	Saying that, suck my D, you transphobic C-word.
	And it was like, why is that not really like a rape threat?
	Well, yeah, yeah, I mean, the misogyny in that is mental, you know?
	Like, that's just, yeah, that's crazy.
	You're a bunch of C's if you don't want to suck this D. Yeah, exactly, yeah.
	I'm a lesbian.
	Yeah.
	It's like, you're just a rapist.
	Like, you're literally just a rapist.
	You have to have sex with me, or what?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Or what?
	Yeah.
	I'm like, well, there's got to be violence, isn't there?
	Right, that's what a rapist is!
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Anyway, sorry.
	I'm just mad.
	I just can't believe they actually held that sign.
	Last comment here, and then we're out of time.
	So Avatar says, deal a reminder that if you can hear the whistle, you're the dog.
	That's a quote from Douglas Murray.
	That's very good.
	I like Douglas.
	Otherwise, we're out of time.
