Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seeders for the 22nd of November 2021.
I'm joined by Carl.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about the Carl Rittenhouse meltdown that took place after he got found not guilty and didn't do nothing by the jury.
Goodest boy.
The media coverage in response and the fact that that is what is driving America apart in racial lines, of course, and also the BLM truck-o-peace.
Breaking news.
Yes, we're going to get into that, which I'm sure is not actually going to be that fun, I'll be honest.
No, it's quite depressing, to be honest.
Anyway.
So, some things to mention first on the website.
So, first thing here being an article from Hugo, The Great Narrative, White Pill.
I assume this is premium, I'm not actually sure.
It is premium, and it's got an audio track, and the good thing about this is he's pointing out, well, hang on, the great COVID narrative is kind of coming apart at the seams, and it's wearing very thin, and so it's probably not going to last.
Fingers crossed.
Yeah.
That's the only positive I'm seeing.
Have you seen all the protests?
Like the one in Rome, Japan?
It's ridiculous.
People got shot in Rotterdam.
Yeah.
It's mad.
We'll cover it at some point this week.
It's just, you know, got all the people out there, I guess.
Oh, yeah.
Heroes.
Anyway, so let's go to the next one.
So the next one is the Contemplation.
So this is Free Will is an Illusion.
So this is you and Josh fighting.
Yeah, I was debating Josh and Free Will.
And I think I BTF-o'd him.
Right.
Just for...
Other hosts may have a different interpretation.
Other hosts may have a different interpretation of that.
But it's an old and complex debate, but we go through it.
Yeah, so enjoy that one.
And the next thing is the epochs.
So this is Belisarius.
So if we can get the next one up here.
So Belisarius marching into...
Well, this is Belisarius' rise to glory.
Because in the beginning, in the first one, we talk about his early life and how he begins his career in the East, defeating the Sassanids.
And then he is tasked by Justinian to go west and reconquer the Roman Empire.
And he's given a shoestring budget to do it.
And then he ends up in Rome.
And Justinian's like, oh, okay, I better send you some reinforcements then.
He didn't die?
Yeah, well, exactly.
It looked like a suicide mission, but Belsaris manages it.
And yeah, and so this is him at his zenith, and part three will come next week, which will be his fall, which is sad.
It's a genuine tragedy.
I remember some of it, because I watched the Extra Credits episodes on it back when they used to do things that weren't calling orcs black people, but, you know...
These days, not so much.
Belisarius, he's a really good character.
He seems to be a very loyal soldier and a decent man.
And it's very sad that he ends up in tragedy.
So we're setting up for that nice tragedy to enjoy.
Anyway, next thing to mention is also the gold-tier Zoom call.
So for gold-tier subscribers, we have a Zoom call every month.
The last Friday of the month, I think, is the tradition.
And it'll be at 4pm UK time, so please do be there.
Is this on Friday?
I saw it listed for Thursday.
Oh, is it Thursday?
It might be Thursday.
Can we scroll up a little bit, John?
I might be wrong.
It's Friday.
Oh, it is Friday.
Okay.
Friday, Friday, Friday.
It's me.
Not Thursday.
So I hope that's clear.
So yeah, in four days we'll be doing that.
So you can see the timer on there.
There should be a link for Gold Tears to be able to come and join us on Zoom, in which we just hang out, ask questions, and just chat.
It's good fun.
Yeah.
So next thing to mention is Getter.
Follow us on Getter.
We're doing very well on Getter.
Getter.com.
Getter done.
Anyway, so that's the official account there.
You can also find everyone else, of course.
And if we have the next one, this is the event you will be speaking at.
Yeah, the Counter Conference in the O2 in London on December the 8th.
Definitely come down.
I'll be there.
Other people of note will be there, like Lawrence Fox, Jason Miller, the CEO. I think Nigel Farage is going to be there as well.
So it's going to be huge.
And we're going to be talking about the current state of affairs, as I understand it.
So definitely come down to that.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get into the good fun.
So Carl Rittenhouse did nothing wrong, unironically and approvably, in court.
Legally.
Yes, he actually did it, the mad lad.
Anyway, so this is just the first thing I want to get up, which is a nice meme from Nuance Pro, whoever made this, saying good ending, recommend film 10 out of 10, because of course the good ending being that Carl Rittenhouse found not guilty, and therefore we can run the credits and everyone can hear Eye of the Tiger or whatever else.
So he gets thrown his AR-15.
But the thing I found really interesting about all of this is, and the reason I didn't really follow the court case as much as, say, Harry did, for example, as we did with Mr. Floyd.
Floyd, is it just seemed obvious.
Sure.
It seemed really obvious.
This guy did nothing wrong.
He was going to win.
Which is why I find it strange, or at least I think we should talk about, why on earth the left decided to make this political, and why on earth they decided to make an argument, and also what was there?
Because, I mean, Vosch had an argument.
One.
Submit to the mob.
That was quickly laughed at, because it was ridiculous.
Yes.
And ignored.
And you even have Destiny, of course, being like, stop being an idiot.
Yes.
And, well, Destiny's right.
And then, well, it really just comes down to, perhaps, arguing that you just can't shoot our guys.
Yeah.
It's good to know those are your guys.
Pedo, wife Peter, and whatever the arse that was.
Guys, Antifa.
Yes.
But, I mean, you made the point we were discussing before, which is, well, the point fundamentally for them is they wanted the right, or at least the public perception, that they could go out and riot, destroy your business, kill people if need to be, and get away with it.
And if you tried to defend yourself, you would be found guilty.
Yes, you'd be the one in trouble.
So essentially, this is an attempt to abolish the right to self-defense, which is the first natural right.
it's enshrined in the u.s constitution and it's widely accepted that if someone attacks you you've got a right to defend yourself and the left like hey yeah but but it's the only thing that was protecting everyone from the blm riots fundamentally yes you could fight back and that's what they were going after which explains a lot of this reaction i think so i thought we'd do that first and then to mention here just something funny that i saw david posting is uh if we go on that first image apparently carl rittenhouse legally is hispanic he's listed as hispanic so he's not white
according to the u.s legal system which i found funny because i remember i told you that story about the black guy went to france then all the black guys were like you're not black enough to be here And they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, in the US, I'm legally black.
Well, Carl Rittenhouse, legally Hispanic.
Anyway, moving on.
So let's get into the politician's response.
So first and foremost would be Joe Biden, because, of course, he decided to make this political, and he sided with the idea that you should be able to just be killed by rioters, and there's nothing you can do about it.
it he says in here while the verdict in kenosha will leave many americans feeling angry and concerned myself included i'm sure he's weeping we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken i urge everyone to express their views peacefully consistent with the rule of law oh really violence and destruction of property have no place in the case of the law So he's actively denouncing the rioters who were killed by Kyle.
Yes.
And, well, the reason he was there was because a lot of other people turned up and started burning the place down.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
I mean, that's why he's there.
That's why he ended up defending himself.
But he called Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist.
Yes.
And denounced him earlier, previously.
So why did he not do it then?
Yeah.
I'm very irritated to learn that apparently you can't sue a president for libel.
Yeah, that's what I've heard, which is annoying.
No, because he deserves it.
Yes, he does.
It would be good fun, wouldn't it?
Trump, the other guy, made a statement about this, and it was more true and funnier.
So he says in here, Congratulations to Carl Rittenhouse for being found innocent of all charges.
It's being found not guilty!
And by the way, if that's not self-defense, nothing is.
Love it.
I mean, just the exclamation points, the caps.
It feels very Trumpian.
Yeah, it's just, I miss him.
Yeah, I do too.
It's so much better.
Anyway, so we'll get into the Democratic politicians who decided to jump in on this, and I would have thought the politicians would have been a little bit smarter, and just be like, ah, just shut up.
Oh no, this is a weird cult that they've all found themselves in, where they all have to toe the line on a narrative that is provably untrue.
Yeah.
I mean, if it was just the Hassan Paikers of the world, then, you know, retards are just retards.
But the fact that this has gone so mainstream to the point that you had the Democratic president, and then, well, all his means backing him up.
People who you wouldn't have thought were radical leftists are just revealing themselves to be radical leftists.
Okay, well...
Representative Nadler, I don't know how you say it, but I've recognised him before because he was also the one that said the riots in Portland were a myth, even though they were going on with video events.
I mean, charges to prove it, courthouses burned down to prove it, police stations burned down to prove it.
What the hell is he talking about?
So he decides to say in response to the court case, this heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent, which justifies federal review by the Department of Justice.
Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in first permit.
Build a wall, says Nadler.
I love this cross-state lines narrative.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of immigrants crossing state lines at the southern border, and you don't care at all.
Between two states.
But when one citizen goes from one state to another, suddenly it's a problem.
It just comes across as screaming states' rights and refusing to elaborate or something.
Anyway, so we go to Representative Corey Bursher, of course, who is a big advocate of moral.
She's the fifth member of the squad.
She's a lunatic.
Yeah, she says, the judge, the jury, the defendant, it's white supremacy in action.
Thank you, Corey, thank you.
No one had said that before.
Insightful.
This system isn't built to hold white supremacists accountable.
It's why black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free.
Honest.
I'm hurt.
I'm angry.
I'm heartbroken.
54,000 likes.
I know.
I mean, this is the thing.
Part of me was kind of running up to doing this.
Most people are going to get this.
I looked at some polling.
It was like 70% of registered Democrats believe that honestly he's guilty.
Wow.
What?
But that's the thing.
Like I was saying, they're committed to a narrative that they know isn't true, but have to repeat it anyway at this point.
If they don't, then their entire base is just going to chew them out going, oh, you've joined the white supremacists now.
I know, but when you're that deluded from the facts on the ground, you would have thought when they'd be shown the facts, they would think, who's been lying to me?
Well, they're the ones who are propagating the lies, so...
You know, hopefully some people have an opinion on this.
But it's delusional.
Absolutely delusional.
We also have Mayor Bill de Blasio, who decided to say something retarded.
Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims.
No, they're not.
They're perpetrators.
They're literally legally perpetrators.
They're literally adult men who are trying to beat to death a 17-year-old in the street, and they got what they deserved.
Yes.
Why are you saying that?
They should be alive today.
They have victims.
There are victims of Anthony Huber, which are his immediate family, who he threatened to kill, and, of course, whoever he domestically abused.
And Joseph Rosenbaum raped five children.
I think he abused more, but he angrily raped five.
Yeah, but the...
The list of victims is there.
Literally, there are dozens of victims between these two, and they wanted to create another victim in the person of Carl Rittenhouse, and they couldn't.
So, the mayor continues, the only reason they're not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people.
Ha!
That is just not an accurate description of events, though, is it?
I love that the idea is literally just like, he's bored at home, Kyle, and he's just like, I want to go on a shooting spree.
And just goes out and just shoots random people and happens to hit a pedo, a wife beater, and another guy trying to kill him.
And it's just like, right, okay.
An attempted murderer, all three.
Yeah, this is a miscarriage of justice.
To call it a miscarriage of justice is another statement.
I like the fact that that's ratioed, though.
That's good.
It's just so untrue.
That is demonstrable lies.
I mean, this is the thing.
They honestly live in a parallel universe and we're just staring at them being like, you're joking, right?
Honestly?
No, they're just lying.
They're just lies.
So we go for another one.
We have just another one of a damn politician who wrote on to this.
Carrying a loaded gun into community 20 miles from your home and shooting unarmed citizens is fundamentally wrong.
And if that had been what happened, I'd agree with you, Governor Pritzkin.
It's just, no.
And again, I mean, just dem after dem after dem.
You know, mainstream politicians.
Yeah, yeah.
This is the left-wing movement.
I mean, you've got Corey, though, as a member of the squad, you could say is kind of a bit of the fringe.
But I mean, the president...
But they're all parroting her narrative.
The VP, several governors, mayor of, what is it, New York?
Yeah.
Whatever.
You know, it's ridiculous.
But this is fundamentally a mischaracterisation of what happened.
Yeah, exactly.
He was armed.
For a start, they were armed.
It wasn't by the end of it.
But that's the point.
They were armed.
This is just a lie.
This is not an accurate characterization of what happened.
And he's completely abstracted it from the fact that they were attacking him.
I mean, this is why I look at this, and hopefully this is a waking up moment for a lot of normal people.
Oh god, if it's not.
But I don't know what else to say, because, I mean, they're just wrong.
Like, by the facts.
I mean, John was saying earlier, it's a great example.
There are two Americas, the guys who watched the trial, and the people who didn't.
Yes.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Anyway, so let's go to the commentators, because the commentators, of course, are brainlets, and one brainlet is Hassan Piker.
Welp, there it is, the Rittenhouse precedent.
Good.
You can defend yourself.
Excellent.
A love-tailed feature there.
Cry more.
I saw Cope was trying to restore this.
No, no, that's good, because what he's saying is he wanted the precedent to be against your right to defend yourself from communist criminals who are burning down a city, right?
And Hassan Piker's just sat there weeping.
And I posted something that one of his subscribers had posted.
They got on Reddit and were like, look, I'm a massive fan of Hassan, but his take on this is nonsense, and he's wrong on everything, and he's lying to everyone.
It's like, yes, he is lying to everyone.
But it's also the obvious kind of people you could never build a country with.
Like with Destiny, he can recognise that there's...
Yeah, yeah.
These are communist lunatics who want revolution, who want innocent citizens to be victimised by violent revolutionaries.
That's what Hassan is advocating.
But you could live in the same neighbourhood in Destiny and build something.
Of course.
It'd be quite adversarial, but you couldn't with someone like this.
It's just like, no, you should just submit to the mob and get shot.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a brainlit take from a brainlit man.
Another brain luck.
Let's go for BLM. Literally BLM. Like, they decided to have a tweet.
What's this got to do with you?
Carl Rittenhouse is found not guilty on all counts.
This is how the system conspires to entrench white supremacy.
Right.
So what they're saying is white supremacy is the ability to defend yourself from a mob.
Yes.
In which case, well, that...
Well done rehabilitating the term, I guess.
Like, no one wants to use the term white supremacy, but you sit there and ascribe to it things that are positive.
It's got all the good things.
Okay, well, I love all the responses again.
This one got really shit as well.
Just done Sinatra at the bottom.
Haha!
Losers.
Utter losers.
Anyway, so the ACLU also decided to throw themselves down the rabbit hole even more.
You can see here, so the ACLU... Oh good, the American Civil Liberties Union doesn't believe in the right to self-defense.
No, they sided with the attempted murderers, and it looked like morons for it.
But you can see ACLU of Maryland, so this is where the wrath is even worse, is in the local chapters.
And you can see they decided to respond with dangerous, disgusting, unacceptable white supremacy in the Rittenhouse verdict.
It's like, the dude's not even white.
That's what I love about all this.
Legally, he's a Hispanic.
Yeah, legally he's not.
But again, unacceptable white supremacy.
It's just defence.
Everyone has the right to self-defence.
And as you can see, they continue whining.
White supremacy is a system of oppression.
Self-defence is a system of oppression.
Do not ever help them.
Anyway, so Colin Kaepernick also had a response, because of course he did.
We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.
Oh my god, I hope Karl Rittenhouse sues the face off of him.
Yeah.
Just hand over your afro, Colin, because you owe Karl Rittenhouse this.
Calling him a terrorist when it was himself defending himself against literal terrorists.
Give me your shoes made in Sichuan or something.
The only further validates the need to abolish the current system, white supremacy cannot be reformed.
89,000 likes.
Lunatics.
Absolutely lunatics.
The level of morons online is ridiculous.
We also have Dr.
Schola.
God bless Gadsad and reply there.
Oh good, Dr.
Schola.
Sorry, carry on.
I look forward to seeing what Dr.
Schola has to say about this.
Carl Rittenhouse acquittal is because he's white.
He's guilty as hell.
A black boy in the exact circumstances would have been killed by police or sentenced to life slash death.
I like Destiny's response to that idea, which is, no, it would have looked like a link gen.
We would have let him go immediately.
There would have been no trial.
It's like, what did Destiny get so based?
You don't want a good question.
By this judge, practically white, again with a capital white there, jury and systemic racist justice system in his favour, white privilege stinks.
It's ridiculous.
He's not white.
Legally.
He's as white as many African Americans are black.
But let's just assume for the sake of argument that he is white, right?
Look, this is not true.
There was a chap, we should have got this in addition for this.
I did have the link to it, but there was a black guy who was acquitted of self-defense on exactly the same sort of charges that happened literally days afterwards.
And so she's sat there going, a black boy wouldn't have done?
Yeah, well, they did.
You know, you're lying.
You're a liar.
You're a lunatic and you're a liar.
We also have some more, which I thought we enjoyed, so we just go through this.
Again, all the checkmarks, because you've got to go for the checkmarks, because that's where they live.
Klu Klux Kyle has been found not guilty on all charges by the jury.
A case of white privilege.
Vigilante justice.
Again, the vigilantes were the guys out there.
Yeah, attacking him.
Burning down the place, trying to kill him.
But I mean, they literally said, well, we thought he was an active shooter, so we attacked him.
It's like, okay, well, let's assume that's your defense.
You're a vigilante now.
And now you're dead.
Justified.
Anyway, moving on.
So we have some more.
So this person here decided to go with a sorry great meme.
Carl Rittenhouse is the equivalent of someone jumping into the lion's den at a zoo and then shooting the animals in self-defense.
He had no reason to be in Kenosha that day.
No reason at all.
It's like...
A bit of a racist.
BLM protesters.
Basically animals from a zoo who cannot be trusted to have any kind of self-control and will just attack anyone they see.
Why were they in Kenosha burning the place down, Richard?
The kid who's putting out fires and protecting a business is the one who's in trouble, whereas the people burning down the city, who had, again, no place to be there, weren't from there, were outside agitators who had come in further than Kyle Rittenhouse, incidentally, in the case of Gage Grosskraut.
They had no reason either, but, you know, Kyle's the problem, is it?
I love a way of justice, whether or not someone should go to jail.
Well, how far did you travel?
You burned down your neighbour's house, that's alright.
You had no reason to be there.
Well, none did any of the rest of them who were committing crimes already.
Anyway.
And then, Kyle, the one person who didn't commit a crime, you're the one going, oh, well, he's the problem.
Get out.
Honestly.
So let's move on to Kimberley Crenshaw in a response.
Quitted.
All effing charges.
Understand what this means.
White supremacy, presumably.
This means you've failed to overthrow the United States, Kimberley.
Yeah, and you see Ben Shapiro putting her in a place, rightfully, which is that self-defence still applies, and that you're a bad lawyer and a worse thinker.
Well, I mean, that's...
The person who, in the world of theory, is what spawns the current lawyer.
Yeah, she's the person who coined the term intersectionality.
She's not a worse thinker, she's a revolutionary.
She's trying to overthrow the United States, and she's gutted that you can still defend yourself from her mobs.
Yes.
So then we have one other which I found funny, which is a guy saying that this is basically the Holocaust now.
The Rittenhouse verdict will be remembered as the moment American fascism turned into Nazism proper.
See, I was going to use this in my segment.
No turning back from the past of the Holocaust.
Lunatic.
We're on the rails.
Verified checkmark.
I don't know.
Charlottesville?
Well, this is what happened, you know.
Well, maybe it's something similar, actually.
Mobs of communists probably were attacking people in the streets.
There was a really funny one, which is Rage Against the Machine had something to say.
Were they raging with Khan?
No.
They were saying Kyle is the bad guy.
Tamiya Rice was executed for playing with a toy.
Okay.
He wasn't.
Anyone watch the footage in that?
He's literally pointing at a bystanders after he pulled the cap off.
Right.
And it's like, right, so the police turn up, think it's a gun, and shoot him.
Right.
As they would with anyone else.
So, sorry.
But even then, this is not the same circumstance at all.
But I used to think they had a point with Tamiya Rice, and I saw the footage, and it's BS. Right.
So nobody was charged.
Ahmaud Arbery was jogging and was then murdered in broad daylight.
Rittenhouse armed himself and killed people who were fighting for racial justice.
Wow.
With their skateboards and pistols and trying to beat him to death.
That's racial justice.
Racial justice by setting fire to a dumpster that they were going to push into a gas station.
And then beating up some white people.
This is for racial justice!
I guess so.
Why?
I mean, I remember the best part of the Kenosha thing is that billboard with the cars.
And then just Black Lives Matter.
Flames.
Exactly.
I mean, that's racial justice right there.
Goddammit.
So then we move on, and we have some other guy who did a...
You know, this is a joke, right?
This is a joke.
4chan Greentex, okay?
BLMB-like, and then it's some made-up poster of Black Fist and Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, they're the heroes of Kenosha.
Yeah, this actually happened, though.
And they're black.
Yeah, for some reason.
So we go to the next one.
We have someone who actually...
Yeah, so Pedro Pascal.
Ah, yes.
Joseph Rudd.
Mandalorian himself.
Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 27, murdered.
Rest in peace.
Heroes of Kenosha here.
Remember, he's a Hollywood celebrity.
He may really be a...
Like, relating to Rosenbaum.
One of us.
Yes.
Which I wouldn't be surprised by, with these people.
And there was a post, we can't verify it, of course, but if we go to the next one, we have a Reddit post about someone saying that they're sick of their brother's rapist being praised because, of course, he raped five kids.
And all those kids are alive.
They're all out there.
They've all got their families.
They've all got trauma.
And they've all got to listen to, oh, he's just an innocent soul.
Pedro Pascal going, oh, he was such an angel.
Rest in peace.
Of course, we can't prove it, but I mean, these families are real anyway.
So the person says in here, for example, that Pedro Pascal is a good actor, but somehow he saw fit to call this POS a hero.
You know, feel you.
And also, finally, what made me lose it is Mark Ruffalo's Rip Jojo.
What the actual F? Literally pet naming him.
My brother is acting like he's okay through this whole thing.
He has been on a media blackout.
You know, we can't verify this, but if it is true, it's horrifying.
If it's not true, well, that is taking place as well.
But even then, you could call this an artist's representation of what they're going through?
Sure, yeah.
Also, there's a thing to mention on GoFundMe, because GoFundMe, of course, got rid of the fund, because they didn't like that Carl Rittenhouse was getting money to fight.
GoFundMe are like, yeah, so we assume the guilt of the accused.
But they don't do that for, what was it, Riot Kitchen, for example.
That's correct.
Because that's there, guys.
Anyway, let's carry on, get to the next one here.
And we have Andy Ngo pointing out that, of course, Riot Kitchen, they even donated.
So you can see that the GoFundMe team donated $500 to Riot Squad.
So you can see where the bias lies there.
Yeah, so that's why.
They got rid of his GoFundMe.
It's as partisan as it gets.
Anyway, moving on.
So if we go to the next one, we have some more responses, which I thought were funny.
In this country, you can't even kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for black lives.
This is the legacy of 1619.
Oh, right, yeah.
Of course, she's the author of the 1619 Project, isn't she?
You can kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for black lives.
Right.
I love how they're trying to rationalise away because the whole time they didn't want to talk about the race because they wanted to think they were black.
And then all of a sudden when people point out they're white, it's like, yeah, basically, they're politically black.
But she's acting like the South won the Civil War.
I guess.
You can kill a black guy just as you want.
I mean, lynching, basically legal.
No?
No, we can talk about it.
Unbelievable, right?
Not the world we live in.
Anyway, so let's carry on.
So if we go to the next one, we also have, I think, what is it, the New York Times lady?
So if we get the next one up, we have, oh no, it's Tucker Carlson, sorry, making the point that he did an interview with Carl Rittenhouse in the end of all this, and Carl says in here that the case has nothing to do with race, never had anything to do with race, it has to do with the right to self-defense.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, everyone involved was white.
Except Carl, who's a spank.
So, just a point that gets by by the by.
If we're going to talk about race, well, he's not a white guy.
Anyway, so there's also the cool part about all this.
Tucker Carlson just being a genuinely good guy.
I don't think he's ever done anything wrong.
I know of.
Anyway, so we go to the next one.
We have him who has been doing a documentary with Rittenhouse's family behind the scenes the whole time.
I don't know, Tucker Carlson Originals.
That's slick.
Anyway, look forward to seeing that when that comes up.
So, there's that.
But there's also what happened in Portland, of course.
So, in Portland, they decided because, you know, it's a day ending in Y, let's have a riot.
Well, that's the thing, isn't it?
Because everyone, like, on the anticipation, the jury deliberated for days, and we heard reports from rumours of, well, the jury are worried about violence breaking out.
So, yeah.
But nothing happened in Kenosha.
The violence broke out in leftist hovels like Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco.
The usual places.
Yeah.
I mean, as you can see here, I think in here they say, as Andy points, Portland, Oregon, say his name, Joseph Rosenbaum.
BLM protesters chanced for support of Rosenbaum, the convicted serial child sex offender.
I mean...
They choose their martyrs, don't they?
They really do.
They're like, yeah, this is our trophy guy.
The pedo.
Well, I thought George Floyd was bad enough.
Oh, the guy who robbed a pregnant woman.
Yeah.
And died of a drug overdose.
Hmm, okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
We've got a pedo now.
Right.
Brilliant.
Say his name.
Is it going to get worse?
Can it get worse?
Yeah, what's worse?
I don't know where they're going to go with this.
Oh, boy.
Anyway, so that's...
In the end, they're like, yeah, that Adolf Hitler guy.
So this is the state of just the...
I mean, just the optics alone.
It blows my mind that they actually decided to make this a case that we're going to fight.
Anyway, so there's that.
And then we go to the next one.
We have, of course, that they had to declare a riot because there was a riot.
Yeah.
So, yes.
I mean, the police literally declared a riot after they decided to start burning down All cops are killers.
What's that got to do with any of this?
It's just, you know, it's a day ending in Y and you live in Portland, so enjoy the hell you have created.
But as for Kyle, he's having a much better time.
He's down in Florida.
Oh, good.
So we go to the next one.
I love this.
So this is the lady who works for Ron DeSantis.
She's the press secretary.
I love just the energy around the way she does social media, I love.
The whole thing looks very wholesome too.
I know.
So Kyle turns up in Florida to have dinner or whatever else.
She's like, Kyle and his family are visiting the great state of Florida.
Welcome to our free state and enjoy your time here at Sunshine.
Love it.
You know, it's great.
Everything about it is just like, yeah, Ron DeSantis and our team, we stand with Kyle because he literally did nothing wrong.
DeSantis is crushing in the polls in Florida as well.
He's got like a disapproval rate of 21% and approval rate of like 63% or something like that.
King.
Yeah, exactly.
He's doing a great job in Florida.
And the other king, of course, being Carl and his lawyer.
So we've got the last one here.
I just Louis Levi's meme on this.
Little Burger King outfits.
It's good.
And just the last thing to mention, I guess, is a weird white pill about Kenosha is apparently someone ordered pizza and Americans being Americans, they decide to put politics aside and just eat pizza together.
As in, literally, the BLM supporters and the Carl Rittenhouse supporters outside the courthouse will be like, hmm, food.
I mean, I do like pizza.
Yes.
Anyway, so that's that.
That's the meltdown and the S show that, well, is the parallel universe in which they live.
They do.
Right, so it is the media that is causing the racial divisions in the United States.
You can see it in their framing, in the way they do anything, in all of their reporting.
And we're going to go through some of it now because it's awful.
It is the most awful and most racist thing that you can imagine.
Now, I hate saying the word racist now because it's been so debauched and like, oh, this race, that was racist, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But I mean, it's just hard not to describe it like that.
It really is that bad.
Unironic racial bigotry.
Yes.
Yes.
And a hatred of a particular race.
And that's...
It comes through very clear.
And of course this is because of the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.
So let's just begin with a random verified checkmark.
Do you know who this guy is?
Nope.
Nope, but he's a verified checkmark on Twitter.
The fix was in for the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
Judge Bruce Schroeder did everything in his power to ensure the acquittal of a murderer.
A murderer who will now powerlay this fame into a career as a right-wing rock star.
It only cost him three black lives.
No?
They were politically black.
Apparently, according to Ida Bay Wells, they were politically black.
But he got chewed out on this, and he had to post a mea culpa, which he did, and fingered in the next one.
You can see he's like, I removed a factually inaccurate tweet.
And the thing is, there were people saying, and Lauren Chen here, like, why were you so quick to give your opinion about a case you so clearly knew nothing about, right?
This dude is a content strategist at PlayStation.
What are you doing?
PlayStation has an opinion on Carl Rittenhouse.
Shut up and make video games.
Who are you?
I'm sorry, but I removed a factually inaccurate tweet as if he got a decimal point wrong or something.
This is like thinking Thomas Jefferson is the current president.
Yeah.
Level of inaccurate.
Yeah, it's just he knows nothing about what's going on, and yet he decided, oh, I must virtue signal about this on Twitter anyway, right?
That's just one example, because what you can infer from this is that he's existing in a media environment that has been lying to him.
He was led to believe that Carl Rittenhouse had killed three black people.
Now, he had killed two white people and wounded a third.
But who cares?
You know, what matters is what was going on, not the race of the people involved.
Because, I mean, even if it was three black people who were attacking Carl Rittenhouse, he would have been justified in self-defense.
Look, the facts of the case might be important to someone who cares about issue politics.
Well, yeah.
Someone who only cares about race politics.
If you're not a racist, then you might care about this stuff.
But anyway, yeah.
And so we've got an example of this.
Here's The Independent.
This is archived because they did change it afterwards after people pointed out A year!
And then the independents are like, oh, we've been a typo.
We shot three black men.
You can watch the footage and see you didn't shoot three black men.
You obviously haven't watched the footage.
You obviously don't know what you're talking about, and you're lying to the public.
Just one example.
I mean, huge media outlet in the UK. Exactly.
Massive.
I mean, this is like CNN or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he killed black men.
Yeah, exactly.
And CNN, I think, had implied that with their coverage, but I don't think they directly said it.
But anyway, so you've got Glenn Greenwald pointing out that from the view from Brazil, well, all of them Pictures of the guys who got shot?
Well, yeah, I mean...
Well, no, they're pasty, obviously.
But the point is, they could have watched the footage, but they didn't.
They didn't do any due diligence on this issue and just parroted the narrative that they assumed was true that they'd been, as I said, cultivated by the US media outlets.
And so let's just go through some of the responses now about how the media is framing this.
Carl Rittenhouse has walked free.
Now, it's open season on protesters, say The Guardian.
Oh, really?
God, I wish.
I do not want to...
Joking.
I do not want to discuss the legal particulars of the verdict.
Yeah, I bet, because it's going to destroy your entire narrative if you did, right?
Of course you don't want to.
Why would you want that?
Well, I'm not here to discuss the facts.
However...
That's exactly right, right?
In essence, the Rittenhouse ruling has created a kind of stand-your-ground law for the whole country.
Yeah!
That was already there.
Yes!
Exactly!
You already, in the United States, had the right to self-defense.
You already had that.
That's what this is about.
But as you can see, they're like, well, now people are just going to think they can defend themselves from any mob that are coming after them that want to kill them.
Yes!
So when all these evil right-wingers you keep telling us about turn up and try and murder you, Mr.
Leftist...
Exactly.
You get to defend yourself.
But they know that that's not going to happen.
No.
They know that mobs of right-wingers are not going to turn up to attack them, but mobs of left-wingers will turn up to attack right-wingers, and now those right-wingers can defend themselves.
That's terrible for the Communist Revolution.
Right?
White people now have the apparent right to travel around the country, yeah, heavily armed, yeah, and use violence to protect the country from whatever and whoever they believe to be threatening it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's getting very Martin Luther there.
White people shouldn't be able to travel.
Get to the back of the bus, white person.
Right, but white people can travel around and use violence to protect the country.
Yes.
That's good for everyone, isn't it?
Why would you...
I mean, you say white people.
I mean, you don't have to specify white people.
You just say people.
Black people can do it too.
Yeah, literally any shade of people, yeah exactly, literally any shade of person can be armed and protect themselves in America.
That's one of the good things about that country.
Given the feverish paranoia and racism that has captured a sizable minority of white people in the US these days, this is a recipe for disaster.
She's not calling her anti-father, but it really sounds like she is.
The most worrying effect of this verdict may be giving right-wing vigilantes a legal precedent to take up arms against anyone they consider a threat, which runs from anti-fascists to so-called rhinos and includes almost all people of colour, meant it's now open hunting season on progressive protesters.
Don't say based.
Don't say based.
Well, no.
Legally speaking, true, because if they do perceive them as a threat, and they're correct, they will be found not guilty.
Yes, but what she's also saying here, if it's open season on progressive protesters, then progressive protesters are violent psychopaths who are trying to kill you.
Yes.
Because it's only legal in self-defense.
As mentioned, they have to perceive the progressive protester as a threat and be correct.
And if they're literally approaching you with guns and they're firebombing your cities and stuff like that, well, maybe that is a threat.
So maybe the protesters who are progressive could be less violent.
I mean, in Portland, I think the worst example, ignoring the courthouse, was there was a Starbucks, and these guys threw Molotov cocktails and stuff and fireworks into the Starbucks.
Above the Starbucks is literally just a block of apartments with families in, and they didn't give a toss.
I was like, right, yeah, you do have a right to defend yourself against such people.
Yes, and that's good, because these people are breaking the law.
They will burn you and your families alive.
And they're going to kill you.
In your apartments.
I mean, these aren't good people.
No, I don't know why the progressives are like, look, they're our guys.
How could you say it's okay to shoot these people?
Don't get me wrong, this ruling alone did not start this kind of lopsided law and order.
It is just the latest in centuries-old American tradition of protecting white terror and vigilantism.
Can you not stop yourselves from attacking people?
Is that what you're saying?
You just can't stop from hurting people.
And it's like, oh no, they're going to be able to shoot us back now.
Boohoo.
Anyway, moving on to MSNBC. Well, again, they say it like it's a bad thing.
Like, our centuries-old tradition of being able to shoot violent people who attack us with deadly force.
Yes.
No, that's great.
Yeah.
It's literally one of the things that makes America great.
Yeah, but this is the constituent...
These are the politicians, essentially, who represent the violent constituencies.
Yes.
They're like, okay, so look, we're...
You know those criminals?
They're ours.
It's like debating the IRA. Yes.
It's like, there isn't a debate to be had.
Very much, yeah, yeah.
It's literally up the IRA saying, well, you're not going to shoot our terrorists, are you?
Yes, we are.
That's a dangerous precedent.
That's what it is!
That's literally where we're at!
Can't even fertilize bomb people!
Terrible accent!
Can't even firebomb a city!
What are you going to do?
I'm going to bomb Thatcher in my spare time.
What's the point?
MSNBC complained that this is going to embolden white vigilantism.
Again, all of the vigilantes were white, but they weren't Republicans.
The Rittenhouse verdict easily reads like a referendum on the nation's ongoing clashes over the state of racism in American life.
What are you talking about?
This is not an expression of mercy towards Rittenhouse, but white vigilantism.
Ultimately, I do believe that Rittenhouse behaved irresponsibly and endangered people recklessly.
Really?
Really?
So the people burning down the city weren't endangering people and behaving irresponsibly, but it was Kyle Rittenhouse that was behaving irresponsibly.
Why?
Because he's white.
That's why.
You should let them burn it down, record it, and then take them to court.
That's right.
The British policing, which is so much better.
We just let everything burn down and then deal with it afterwards.
They believe that the tragic outcome of his behaviour merits some kind of punishment.
Why?
What, like, I don't know, a laurel wreath?
A little medal that says Hero of the Republic?
I mean, what sort of punishment are you asking for?
Lifetime supply of beer?
I can't, which he's going to get.
I mean, let's be fair, when he's 21 and he can go to bars, man, he is not going to have to pay for his own beers, is he?
Also, any rifle companies out there really need to give him, like, unlimited AR-15 ammo.
And at the end of the day, he's probably going to sue a lot of people.
So he's going to end up like Nicola...
Because, I mean, Nicola Sandman got it bad, but he got it worse.
I mean, that's the best thing about all this media reporting.
Ultimately, yeah, yeah.
So, you know, they carry on and say, look, more than this Rittenhouse, I fear the future Rittenhouse is to come.
So you fear more people who are totally within a line of the law, defending themselves from the violent mobs that you gin up with your reporting.
You know that meme of Alex Jones walking down a corridor and there's loads of him behind him?
Like, that's what I've got in mind.
Just all got AR-15s.
Okay, I mean, yes.
But that's what they're afraid of.
They're afraid that other people are like, hang on, I don't have to be killed in the street by a bunch of communist mobs who are following a narrative of lies that are created by reporters.
I can defend myself and the law will be on my side.
It's like, yes.
The Ruth Koreans did nothing wrong.
Exactly.
That's how it should be.
Anyway, moving on, it gets more racist.
MSNBC, the law was designed to protect white conservatives who kill.
In this article, this article is like 700 words, and they mention the word white 12 times.
Right?
Rittenhouse, who is white, was 17 when he travelled from his homeland in northeast Illinois to the process of Kenosha.
Why did you say that?
Rittenhouse is a white teen who abides by white rules, and white people are empathetic to those rules, seem to poise to insulate him from repercussions.
So the kid who did nothing wrong is going to be insulated from repercussions, which is more terrorism.
Could you imagine talking about the BLM martyrs in that language?
God, no.
It was a black teen who abided by black rules.
George Floyd, who is black.
I was 39 and, you know, whatever.
Exactly.
White teen who abides by white rules.
Yeah, but they're also, like, you know, rules for black people, too.
They're the same rules.
Yeah, exactly.
They're not different.
But mad.
The day he pleaded not guilty to felony homicide, Rittenhouse flashed a white supremacist symbol.
He did the OK sign.
That's right.
And was loudly serenaded by a group of men at the bar who belted out the anthem of the Proud Boys.
I assume that's the American anthem.
I don't know what the anthem was.
Chanting about dildos or something.
Just singing, you know, proud to be an American or something.
And conservatives are encouraging white vigilantes like Rittenhouse to police progressive spaces by all means.
As one Slate article put it last year, Own the Libs is gradually morphing into Kill the Libs.
Well, if the Libs start trying to kill us, then...
You have the right to self-defense.
Yeah.
I also love the idea of him going into progressive spaces.
It's like, this is our riot.
This is a safe space for rioting or something like that.
A bunch of heavily armed Carl Rittenhouse is just smiling pleasantly at the rioters.
Not in this neighborhood.
Which sounds great, actually.
Anyway, moving on to CNN. CNN, again, just some of the awful takes.
There's nothing more frightening in America today than an angry white man.
Phew.
Is there any evidence at all that Kyle Rittenhouse was angry?
He didn't look angry.
Does the Daily Stormer have an article with the same words except black?
Probably.
I mean, I don't read much of the Daily Stormer, so I can't tell you.
Too busy reading CNN. Yeah, exactly.
I'm too busy reading that bizarro world opposite that says exactly the same thing.
I mean, they're going to have loads of articles that are basically the same, right?
The angry white man.
The brute, the buck, and of course, the thug.
Yeah, well, what they're doing here is framing it, saying, well, look, the specter of the angry black man has been evoked in politics and popular culture to convince white folks that a big black man, capital B black, by the way, is coming to get them and their daughters.
It's like, where are we talking?
Like, I remember watching Chris Rock, like...
Most of us didn't grow up watching, like, Ku Klux Klan films, especially when your parents didn't watch Triumph of the Will or whatever it was, or...
No, what's the other one?
What's that KKK one that was?
Birth of a Nation?
Birth of a Nation, yeah.
I didn't actually watch that, so I don't know.
It's only on your DVD shelf.
I watched Eddie Murphy.
But anyway, as I've watched three separate trials about white male violence unfold across the US in the past weeks, the Rittenhouse trial, the Armoured Arbery death trial, and the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, I've come to the sobering conclusion.
There's nothing more frightening in America today than an angry white man.
It's not the radical Islamic terrorist that I fear the most, nor is it the brown immigrant or the fiery Black Lives Matter protester.
Fiery?
I mean, at least they admit that, like, I've been burning things down.
Okay.
It's encountering an armed white man in public who has been inspired by the white men on trial in these three cases.
And so, I love this, as if I can't stop myself from attacking a white man I see in public.
It's like, okay, well, don't.
You know, the question in the Carl Rittenhouse Trace is one of self-defense.
But no, it's they're literally trying to program their readers to hate white men and be afraid of white men.
You show them a picture of a white man, they clasp out or something.
Yeah, exactly.
There is nothing inherently violent about white men or any human being.
And one of the things as well, they capitalise white all the way through this.
This is what the white nationalists wanted.
There is doubtless an article on the Daily Storm saying, we need to get them to capitalise white.
They capitalise black, we want them to capitalise white, because this implies they're two separate nations that don't coexist, they don't co-mingle.
Can't.
Can't, yes, exactly.
And so, yeah, they say, he says, What are you talking about?
You just hate white people, don't you?
Let's be honest, this is what this is.
You just hate white people.
One New York Times columnist, under the headline, The Angry White Male Caucus, said this anger is driven by white men who fear a changing America, in which the privilege of being a white man isn't what it used to be.
Well, why is that?
Because you've been actively attacking them.
Because you hate them.
Honestly, this whole thing goes on, but I'm not going to carry on.
But also the idea that white privilege didn't exist.
Exactly.
But you can see them stoking the racial division.
This is where it's coming from.
It's in their framing.
It's in their reporting.
They even use capital W, white.
And they're sat there going, look, be afraid of white men.
That's the argument.
That's what I find with the white privilege thing.
White men are privileged, which is why I can openly write articles on CNN calling them disgusting subhumans.
Exactly.
I hate to do the, well, you'd never find this about a black person on CNN. Of course you wouldn't.
You'd only find that on the most virulent white supremacist sites on the internet.
But that point instantly disproves the privilege part.
Exactly.
Well, there is no privilege in having that privilege, is there?
Yeah.
And so, I mean, you know, you get TV clips.
Let's watch MSNBC talking about this.
I find these people disgusting, Ellie.
I'm disgusted at what I'm seeing.
It's not just this trial, it's other trials.
But this in particular, the fact that white supremacists roam the halls of Congress freely and celebrate this little murderous white supremacist, and the fact that he gets to walk the streets freely, it lets you know these people have access to instituting laws.
They represent the legislative branch of this country.
What are we to make of that?
Welcome to the modern Republican Party.
This is what these people want.
And this is what a majority of white people vote for.
When I say that a majority of white people are in favor of this kind of violence, it is because a majority of white people consistently vote Republican.
Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, A majority of white people have voted Republican, right?
So, like, this is the party that they're supporting.
A majority of white people pick judges like Bruce Schrader, the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
A majority of white people do not support policies that would unpack and unroll and reform this system of justice.
This is what they want.
Matt Gaetz is giving the white folks what they want.
Look at it.
Look at yourselves.
It's gross.
But until a majority of you stop voting for this, this will keep happening.
If that was, again, this is, you know, the majority of people keep voting for what black folks want.
It's gross.
Look at yourselves.
It would be, okay, well, you hate black people, and understandably so.
Also another place for Carl to sue.
Yes.
Because they just call him a white supremacist.
I mean, a murderous white supremacist terrorist.
Yeah.
It's unreal, and it's just because he's white.
And again, they're acting as if he shot a bunch of black people.
And, in fact, this Amber Ruffin, just, you know, one of those late-night talk show hosts, seems to be totally under the belief that he shot a bunch of black people.
Let's watch.
This is gold.
It's not okay for a man to grab a rifle, travel across state lines, shoot free people, and then walk free.
It's not okay for the judicial system to be blatantly and obviously stacked against people of color.
It's not okay for there to be an entirely different set of rules for white people, but I don't care about Kyle Rittenhouse.
I don't care about that racist judge.
The judge racist now?
I don't care about how up that jury must be.
White people have been getting away with murder since time began.
I don't care about that.
I care about you.
And I can't believe I have to say this, but you matter.
You matter.
Every time one of these verdicts come out, it's easy to feel like you don't, but I'm here to tell you that you do.
You matter.
You matter so much that the second you start to get a sense that you do, a man will grab a gun he shouldn't have in the first place and travel all the way to another state just to quiet you.
That's the power you have.
He didn't shoot a black person.
So don't forget it.
No people of colour were harmed in the making of the Carl Rittenhouse film.
No, they weren't!
What delusional nonsense is that?
Many people have been killing since time immemorial.
Oh yeah, as if there's been, like literally, all of Asia and Africa was just daisy picking and, you know, Kumbaya chanting.
No one was ever killed in Africa before the White Manor.
With his devil horns.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just call us white devils.
Yeah, exactly.
But what a delusional statement that was, right?
Detached of any context.
No black people involved.
Why is she acting like this?
Why is she deliberately lying to her audience?
Like, why should they feel anything and then, oh, right, I can defend myself when the communist mob comes to my house?
But that's what I mean.
You've got the good point, which is, well, it's about trying to make it acceptable that we have to just submit to the mob.
Yeah.
They were never going to win that.
Come on, they're never going to win that argument.
That's why I don't get why they bother with it.
There are a lot of arguments that they've won I didn't think they were ever going to win as well.
So, you know, at the end of the day...
And they went all in on this, too.
And, like, it's not just the media, of course.
There are, of course, radical left-wing politicians who are playing into this absurd narrative as well.
Let's go for the squad.
Let's have a listen to what the squad have to say.
What we're witnessing is a system functioning as designed and protecting those who it was designed for, said Ocasio-Cortez.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter.
My heart still breaks for the communities and families whose grief now compounds, and the countless others who will be denied and deprived in similar scenes across the country.
Look how vague that is, right?
A, it's good to know that the system that's designed to protect the innocent against the guilty is working as intended.
It's protecting those who harm is being done against.
Yes.
It is literally designed to protect the victims against the victimizers, and it did, and Ocasio-Cortez is just like, well, my heart breaks because the system's functioning is intended, and my evil communist revolutionaries weren't able to murder a boy in cold blood in the street.
Boo-hoo.
Instead she's like, yeah, my boys got killed.
Yeah.
Your boys.
The wife beater and the pedo.
Yeah.
Right.
And the gross crowd's got a bunch of charges against them as well.
Sorry, AAC, that your evil constituency was unable to murder someone this time.
Cori Bush, of course, she says the system isn't built to hold white supremacists accountable.
Accountable for what?
It's why black and brown folks are brutalised and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free.
All the way to Burger King.
Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib had things to say.
Pressley said, racism and white supremacy was the bedrock of our legal system.
Right?
It's racism when a white man protects himself from three other white men.
Well, he's not white.
That's the thing.
It was a person of colour protecting themselves from three white men trying to kill him.
Sure, but nobody sees it that way.
Yeah, but legally...
My heart breaks for the family and loved ones and for those whose lives were stolen and the trauma our communities face today and every day.
The struggle for accountability, justice, and healing goes on.
Yeah, well, justice seems to have been delivered in this particular case.
Tlaib says that the justice system is broken and protects white supremacy.
Two people who were killed deserve justice, and so did our communities who continue to be targeted with violence like this.
Honestly, I think the two people who killed got justice, frankly.
Like...
Unbelievable.
But anyway, what they're doing is deliberately inciting by deliberately lying about what has happened here.
They're taking everything out of context.
They're removing a bunch of pertinent information because, of course, the justice system works on actions.
If you attack someone and they defend themselves from you, then that's lawful.
And that's good.
The NBA decided to chime in on this.
I don't know why.
The basketball has something to say.
Sorry, what were you saying?
Anyway, our thoughts are with the families of those whose lives are taking the tragedy.
The right to peacefully protest is a bedrock of our democracy.
Okay, but where's the connection there?
The people who were killed were not peacefully protesting.
Why did you even chime in?
This tragic day in which a pedo was shot trying to kill someone.
Our thoughts are with him.
What?
Any forms of vigilantism in our society are unacceptable.
Okay, well, now you've condemned the rioters.
What now?
This is pro-Kyle Rittenhouse post, is it?
Accidentally.
And then we get to the insane conclusion of all of this, which you covered earlier, but we'll go through again.
The Rittenhouse verdict will be remembered as the moment American fascism turned into Nazis improper, and there was no turning back from the path of the Holocaust.
What are you talking about?
He's going to be holocausted.
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, the people who continue to attack Carl Rittenhouse, I suppose.
He'll be walking around with his AR-50.
Yeah, exactly.
He'll just keep me low.
He's like, wow, they're really determined.
At the age of 90, he's still at the courthouse being like, well, here's the 90th, Keith.
Yeah, I know.
Why are you doing this?
Why don't you just stop trying to kill him?
Anyway, so that's the media.
They're stoking these racial divisions and they're really salty that in this case they lost.
I look forward to getting sued.
Yeah.
So in the wake of the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, there has been a Black Lives Matter truck of peace attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
So not far, something like 50 miles away from Kenosha.
And...
It's very early days, as this only happened last night, but it does appear that the person involved was politically motivated and seemed to harbor a hatred of white people.
He followed the news cycle, so he bought into the news cycle lies, and it seems that it's a product of that.
But again, all up in the air because it's all very new, so it may be subject to change, but for the information we have at the moment, as you can see, a car ploughed through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, and as many as 30 people are reportedly injured, and you can see the car, look at the little girl there dancing, right?
She doesn't get hit, of course.
We're not going to show anything, but you can see the car right by it.
She could have been easily hit.
It's a family event that's going on here.
It's like really wholesome community stuff, and some lunatic has come in.
So we can go to the next one.
He hit a parade filled with families, young people and children engaged in a Christmas parade.
Again, it's another, like, more children.
Just people doing...
Yeah, like toddlers galore, standing around watching the parade.
Exactly.
It's awful, right?
If we go to the next one, you can see this one.
They drive through a bunch of barriers, and they're firing rifles out.
If you want to turn the audio on on this, you can hear the gunshots.
John?
So, like, the dude's got a gun in the car?
Yes.
So you can hear them firing from the car.
Apparently it's bystanders.
No, it's not.
It's not.
I watched it.
The things are not timed.
But anyway, so we'll go on to a local news report.
We'll go for the next one.
So, there are multiple people dead and several injured after an F2V drove through this holiday parade.
More than 20 people, including children, were taken to six area hospitals.
Authorities did not indicate the exact number of deaths.
but I think we actually have that now.
According to a statement from the Milwaukee Archdiocese, one of their Catholic priests, as well as multiple parishioners, and their Catholic schoolchildren are among the injured, and the person of interest is in custody.
If we can go to the next one, we've got a bit more information.
Around 4.39pm, an SUV went through a barricade at Gasper Avenue on Main Street and then headed to barrel into the crowd that gathered there for the parade.
According to the Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson, at least 11 adults and 12 children have been injured.
The city of Milwaukee apparently has a Twitter account, but it's not verified, so I don't know if it's theirs or not.
We'll go to the next one.
At this time, we can confirm five people are deceased and over 40 injured.
These numbers may change so they collect additional information.
But, as I said, they've got the person of interest, and we can see the pictures of the SUV. That's pretty significant damage.
Or did they ram it into a building?
No, rammed it.
That's what happens when you go through a crowd of people.
That's just from the people?
Yes.
People are quite heavy and they hit a lot of people.
Like 40 people or something.
So, yeah.
So who was this person who's imitating ISIS tactics?
Who is it?
Well, it's a chap called Daryl E. Brooks, a black male in his late 30s who is the suspect in custody in Waukesha.
According to his court history, he was released from jail two days ago after posting a $1,000 bail for three misdemeanours and two felonies.
He is a career criminal.
And remember that Carl Rittenhouse's bail was $2 million.
It was paid for by the MyPillow guy.
Heroically.
But anyway, more details of him emerge.
We can get to the next one.
He has two open criminal cases against him at the moment.
He posted bond for two felonies and misdemeanors.
He did the same thing for three felonies in March.
He's also a registered sex offender and has dozens of mug shots from different states.
Do we know what the crimes he was being held on were?
Because I can...
Oh yeah, yeah, if we can go down.
Resisting or obstructing an officer, bail jumping, second degree reckless endangering of safety, disorderly conduct, battery, domestic abuse, all that sort of stuff.
Jesus Christ.
He's a total piece of ass.
Yeah.
So he's a typical Black Lives Matter supporter.
He's also a sex offender, child trafficker, incidentally.
Go to the next one.
Here's a video of him admitting that he was pimping out a 16-year-old, and his defense was, well, I didn't know she was 16.
So it'd have been fine if she was 18.
The pimping's fine?
Yes.
The pimping isn't the problem.
It's the fact that she was 16.
He just didn't know.
He's a good guy.
Didn't do nothing.
You've got to understand.
His social media handle was MathBoyFly.
And as you can see, there's loads and loads of mugshots of this guy.
Career criminal has been doing this for years.
And there's lots and lots of this particular thread has got lots of information on him.
He seems to have been a black nationalist.
He keeps posting about Kemet and stuff like that.
Posting Malcolm X quotes about Africa becoming world power.
Before-- until Africa becomes world power, the black man won't be respected.
I was like-- Obama's just like, yeah, so if only Africa were royal power, I'd be respected.
And he posts, you know, calling the police.
Yeah, one day.
Posts stuff calling the police a gang, as you can see, you know, F-America-KK-R, stuff like this.
Loads and loads of just radical leftist stuff.
Supporting Colin Kaepernick.
Can we get the second one down, up, where you can see it properly?
This is from the next one, sorry.
So he's like, you know, complaining about Colin Kaepernick being erased from resolution recognising Black History Month.
If we go to the next one...
Sorry, the next image on that slide.
No, the previous one, sorry, the one before it.
He's complaining about, like, Colin Kaepernick says it's a time for revolution in the wake of George Floyd's death, and he's like, yeah, dat.
Okay.
Didn't take any responsibility for this radicalization, Colin.
I mean, you have been saying lies about everything.
Racial lies all over the place.
Trying to incite a revolution, apparently.
And this guy's like, yeah, that's a good idea.
Let me get my keys.
Yeah.
Anyway, going to the next one.
Again, you can see loads of very political memes.
If we can get these up just so you can see what's going on.
So Jeremy Corbyn had to apologise for posting this image.
So this is considered an anti-Semitic meme, and Jeremy Corbyn had to apologise, as you mentioned, and he's sharing it as well.
So America is the land of the stolen and home of the slave.
That's how you see the United States.
Yep, go to the next one.
Of course, he's posting about George Floyd.
Yes, the man who didn't die of overdose of drugs.
Yep, next one.
And of course, police are never held accountable for anything and white people can just kill black people at will.
He definitely supported Black Lives Matter in the most embarrassing fashion, frankly.
Go to the next one, John.
What the fuck?
It's a BLM watermelon.
Oh, no!
Oh, God.
Oh, you remember when, what was it, like, David Guetta, whoever the hell it was, played, like, a remix on the top of a building in New York, and they had, like, Martin Luther King speech playing throughout it, and he called it, like, the BLM anthem or something, and it was the cringiest thing.
There's just this white guy at the top of the sword being like, yeah, I stand for BLM. If a white guy had done this...
It would be called racist.
He would be de-personed.
Yes, it would be called very racist.
But no, it's a black chap posting the BLM Watermelon.
He's got some BLM Kool-Aid as well.
Yeah.
And he, of course, supports the Black Panthers, because why wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Posting about ancient Kemet.
I love the myths about ancient Kemet in the black nationalist circles.
They're hilarious and totally false.
There's nothing that they say about Egypt.
Kemet means Egypt.
And there's nothing about it that's true.
Have you seen the inscriptions from the Egyptians describing the different peoples of the world?
No, I haven't.
There's a wonderful hieroglyph in which they've got the Assyrians, the Libyans, and then themselves, and then they've got the Sudanese.
And you can see how they see the Sudanese as black and themselves as kind of brown.
And it's like, yeah, that's enough.
This black nationalist pantomime is ridiculous.
Egypt is not full of black people.
It's full of Middle Easterners.
Again, most of the slaves are from West Africa as well.
You guys are so far away from this.
It's like me claiming to be, I don't know, Iranian or something.
But my favourite thing that he'd posted was this next one about Hitler.
Do you want to get that out, Joe?
No, no, no.
Get out of it.
It's gold.
Can we read it?
Yeah, yeah.
We can read it.
We can read it.
This chap had an opinion.
So, no, no, no.
This is a false quote that's attributed to Hitler.
But it's strangely romantic.
Right.
Where Adolf Hitler's like, no, no, no, no, no.
The Jews are evil, obviously.
But the real Jews, who have been kidnapped by the evil Americans, were the blacks.
And so Adolf Hitler was pro-black.
He's our guy.
He so says BLM's war.
Hitler knew who the real Jews were, right?
And this is a prophecy that's being ascribed to Hitler, that basically when people find out that the blacks are the real Jews, then the world will fall into the hands of Satan, and World War III will begin.
What?
It's Hitler talking to a soldier, apparently.
The soldier asked, America has stolen the Jews, the Jews of God, his jewellery, the Negroes, they are the true Hebrews.
What a foolish move and a direct challenge to God.
Hitler was just a pious man, you see, a pious Black Lives Matter activist according to Math Boy Fly.
Yeah.
Hashtag research 100 gas.
Yeah.
What?
Yep.
He probably was a fan of Louis Farrakhan, let's be fair.
So, you know, anti-Semitic Hebrew nationalist.
And of course, this means that he hates white people.
There are lots of these posts, but here's a good example of one.
We'll go to the next one, John.
Just loads of his posts.
One of them was, you know, let's knock out white people.
If you can get those pictures up so you can see the content of them.
You can find these endlessly online if you just search up the term white person or white people.
Yeah, exactly.
We start knocking out white people.
Some more ebonics that I can't really read.
Knock them the F out.
Period.
Exclamation.
Sorry.
Middle finger.
Angry face.
And so, yeah, just lots of this kind of stuff on his social media presence.
So he appears to be a black nationalist terrorist.
And this coming directly in the wake of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict that has been totally misrepresented as white supremacy by the media and the entire left-wing movement at this point seems that this is a consequence of that, I would guess.
But again, I can't prove that.
However, it just looks that way.
And it seems too closely timed to be a coincidence.
It's not beyond the...
It wouldn't be the first, either.
No, it certainly wouldn't be the first.
I mean, you remember the Dallas shooter being the most famous one of BLM, in which that was the thing that sort of killed BLM in 2016.
If you look at the charts, where they fall out of popularity, is right after a guy who supports them and is an African nationalist or black nationalist goes out with a rifle and just starts shooting cops.
So he's like, well, you know, that's the thing to do, isn't it?
That's what the media's telling me to do.
Because otherwise I'm trapped in an evil white supremacist society and this guy seems to be of the same mould.
Anyway, let's go to the video comments.
So here, you're going to be able to see a more traditional shelf.
Very simple.
It's got two support beams underneath it.
Alright, so to properly explain what I actually built...
It's a shelf.
It goes onto the wall.
It's a floating shelf because the brackets are on the inside.
Like you can see here.
To answer something Callum said a while ago, yes, you can actually glue or nail them to the wall so you can't pull them off, but I find that they actually make great hiding spots for things because no one suspects to look inside of a shelf.
Great point.
great idea so you know you want to hide some stuff do you know about FPS Russia when he got raided no so he does streams about it and they're the best thing I can't remember the channel but anyway he says like he got raided by the FBI so they found like the bit of weed that he was using it was enough for them to claim that he was dealing it to his girlfriend which didn't make sense whatever but they took all his But the thing is, like, they searched his place and they were so lazy.
Like, he had guns under his bed, like, you know, handguns in the drawers where the food is and whatnot.
Because it's FPS Russia, of course he does.
So they're, like, taking all these guns, but apparently if you just leave it at a bit of a difficult location, they won't bother.
You just got to keep loads of them.
It was like, yeah, I had to hand them back in because, of course, you know, he's filming himself.
Yeah.
If you need to keep something.
They won't even look under a bed.
They definitely won't look in a drawer.
I think a secret shelf.
Regarding social justice warriors, they are in a constant mode of high alert or what we also call survival mode.
When you are constantly told something, you'll start believing it's true.
It becomes your reality.
So they have now become so used to be in this mode of constant alert that they are incapable of switching us off.
This Yeah, I think that's probably an accurate representation of what's going on.
And again, like, primarily because they've been lying to one another for such a long time, they've got a totally distorted view of reality.
I don't really have anything to say about that.
Except, why subtitles, all of a sudden?
I don't know, but I hate subtitles, right?
Because, like, normally, when I'm watching a program, I'll look at the face of the people or the action, whatever's going on.
But in the subtitle, because it's just, you know, glaring white, I find myself drawn to it and reading it, and I can't help it.
Yeah, you can't look at the film.
Yeah, it annoys me.
Anyway.
I wonder if it's because I made fun of her accent.
I said the Danish people said they got potato in their throat.
So I'm wondering if it's a joke like that, but let's go to the next one.
This comment is for Carl.
First, a reminder to get James Lezé on as a guest if you can.
It would also be interesting to see you speak with Curtis Yarvin or Mitch Smallbuck.
He's a monarchist and generally very interesting, although not sure he would agree to come on.
I'd like to see you defend your position against near-actionary, anti-democracy, and anti-enlightenment liberalism guests.
Maybe you could formulate a good pro-democracy argument that I haven't already heard.
The problem I think the neo-reactionaries have is that ultimately the pro-democracy arguments that were used back then, in the 18th centuries, are still valid now because they essentially want to restore the previous system.
But the thing is, they do have strong points against what has happened since.
And so it would be an interesting conversation.
But, I mean, is he very controversial?
I've heard that he's controversial.
Maltbug?
Yeah.
I'm trying to avoid controversy.
Yeah.
The ideas about monarchy, though...
Well, no, I mean...
I kind of get annoyed by this type of politics where people discuss democracy versus monarchy as just an idea.
And it's like, depending on the country.
Because, I mean, our system, for example, is both.
And while the history has shown, apparently, that's the best way we work.
This is Edmund Burke's position.
He's like, well, look, the adherents of absolute democracy are as lunatic as the adherents of absolute monarchy and can't conceive of a middle way between the two.
And he points out as well that it's easier to add democratic institutions to a monarchy than it is to add monarchical institutions to a republic.
Although we could use some more monarchical ones, in my opinion.
Possibly, because we don't really have many left.
Ministers should be appointed like the Queen.
Sick of bad ministers.
Let's go to the next one.
Hey, Tilly.
So, doubling down on my last video comment, if a woman approaches you with Jimmy you've never met before, just honestly say no to her, especially if she's an entitled bitch who's never been told no before.
Seriously, you've never met that person, and you don't know where they've been before, and you want to say yes to their advances?
What's wrong with you?
You don't know where they've been.
No matter how much they insult you, never back down.
And when they say, "Oh, you'll never get laid that way," just say, "I don't want to get laid of you.
I don't know where you've been." You should never say yes to these types of people ever.
Waits before toes every time.
I love the idea that women are like rats or something.
I don't know where you've been.
I don't understand where this line of thought has come from, but okay, moving on.
But I would have thought, I mean, surely that's an argument against meeting strangers ever.
Yeah, it literally is, yeah.
Like, I don't know why that wouldn't stand.
Although I do find it funny just being like, well, you know, I don't know where you've been.
If you're not familiar with the spat between Chris Christie and Donald Trump, I'll sum it up for you quickly.
Donald Trump says we can't forget about the election fortifying of the past.
We need to pass laws to make sure that doesn't happen.
Otherwise, what's the point of even participating in elections?
Chris Christie points out that telling people that their vote in an election doesn't really matter makes them not come out and vote, and then you don't win elections, like what happened with the Senate race in Georgia.
Glenn Youngkin in Virginia didn't focus on election fraud.
He focused on cultural issues, and he won big, and I think that's what Republicans should do going forward.
I think that's a good point.
I mean, they're not mutually exclusive.
No, but there's a kind of weakness that comes from it, right?
Because, I mean, you know, I agree that the Democrats fortified the 2016 election, but that does come at an expensive cost of political capital.
It takes a lot of work.
You can't just do that every single time.
And so, like, the Republicans have got other avenues to victory, as Youngkin showed in, what was it, Virginia or whatever it was.
So, like, and it feels kind of weak and, like, whiny.
It's like, eh, they fixed the election.
Yeah, I know they did.
And, you know, you've got, you know, next time you have to either go big or just accept it, right?
Because, like, why...
If the Republicans all genuinely believe that the election was falsified, and again, I'm one of those people...
Why are you cooperating with them at all?
Like, there should be no government.
You should be like, no.
You know, you prevented our poll watchers from going into the vote count.
The Republic ends until you accept that was unacceptable.
You know, but instead they didn't and they carried on and said, okay, well then stop whining about it.
If you're going to carry on as if you're living in a legitimate republic now, then don't whine.
Do something.
Rescind your consent or think about how you're going to win next time.
They're doing number two.
Sure, they are.
Yeah, exactly.
Which, I mean, fine.
But don't whine about it.
I agree.
It's weak.
It seems like you're a pushover.
I don't like that.
I kind of agree, but the reason I said it wasn't mutually exclusive is you can – so I get that the point being made is primary issues.
So, you know, do you have that as a primary issue?
Oh, yeah, I agree.
But, I mean, you don't have to, as he said with Youngkin, but you can still have it there as being like, no, election integrity is important.
And this isn't new either.
Like, the Republicans have always campaigned on election integrity for as long as I can remember, at least.
Because the Democrats are a bunch of cheats.
Yeah, so it's not new to say that our elections, you know, as an American candidate who's a Republican being like, our elections have problems, things fix them, this way, this way, this way.
And that's what I want done.
The political wing whose constituency is criminals are also a bunch of cheats in elections.
Who could have known?
Moving on.
This is a question specifically for Carl.
Given that businesses almost seem to have a tipping point where they get so big that they just...
Become part of the establishment and dissociated from the average person, treating them like human beings.
What safeguard are you placing on your own business so that never happens, so it doesn't become a big piece of crap like CNN? Or is there any way to avoid that?
After you retire, do you care?
Well, I mean, obviously I don't want my business...
We don't want Lotuses.com becoming like CNN, obviously.
I mean, the only safeguard I'm using at the moment is by ruling with an iron fist, like an absolute monarch.
Well, it's not just that.
It's the fact that it's...
It's that and.
But also just the human aspect.
One of the problems I think he's getting on there perfectly is when you have a CEO who never meets anyone on the floor.
You don't know anyone.
I mean, no one knows anyone.
But the thing is, he is right.
When a business gets to a certain size, this is probably a difficult thing to avoid, right?
Yeah.
So there's not really much you can do about it.
I mean, on the plus side, I don't suspect we're ever going to get so big that it becomes that much of a problem.
Yeah.
But were that to happen, I don't know.
I'd just have a set of rules and cultural norms within the business towards telling the truth.
Yeah.
And if you hired ten liars, will you fire the ten liars?
Yeah, exactly.
I'd put in some sort of procedure if people were deliberately lying.
But again, I... Literally not doing their jobs.
Yeah, exactly.
But I don't think that the culture at CNN and MSNBC and all that is an accident.
It's not an accident.
They're deliberately doing this.
They know what they're doing.
And like Jeff Zucker has been instrumental in this.
The culture does flow from the top down in these institutions.
Do you remember the Project Veritas leaks where they were selling him, they called him up and be like, get the numbers back on screen, it's not engaging enough.
Yes, exactly.
That kind of lying?
Yeah.
What is that?
Is that just ideological, we're playing a game and we've got to win our party?
I think...
Or is that they actually just have no morals whatsoever?
Well, I don't think it's either or.
I think it's a combination of the two.
I mean, they're a private business, so they are constrained to market forces.
But they also have an ideological agenda they're trying to achieve.
And so these play into each other.
Yeah.
I just wanted to show you my little treasure trove of antique books.
I've got a few things here that might interest you.
Right here is Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Manus of Crowds, which is the namesake of Douglas Murray's book.
We've also got these.
First two volumes, first edition of The Gulag Archipelago.
Once I get the third, I want to do you a trade.
I'll send them to you if you're doing epochs on General Charles Gordon.
General Charles Gordon.
I'm not familiar with those.
I thought he was going to threaten us and now you have to do the book club on them.
I was just going to go, no.
It's such a huge amount of work.
I'll send you the dude's Wikipedia.
Yeah, send me across.
If he's interesting, I've got no doubt that Bo and I would love to do an epox on him.
Because I'm always up for doing interesting epox.
Also, you have to explain all Soviet stuff.
We'll get to that next time.
Let's go to the next one.
Determinism is the idea that each instantaneous response a human has, or event in general, is the result of the projection of a background set of priming conditions onto a particular circumstance.
As for output choice, you suggest that you could have made the other choice, but you never could have arrived at decision B because you arrived at decision A first.
Metacognition is non-linear.
Linear causality is simply insufficient when considering internal, self-referential dynamic systems.
All moral considerations trivially reduce to metacognitive manifold potential mediation factors.
Well, I'm glad someone finally understands the determinist thesis.
So one of the problems that we had to go through in the contemplations is that, like, philosophically it's difficult to understand what the determinists are even trying to ask for.
Because the thing is, they're essentially saying, well, we live in a world.
And it's like, yeah, okay.
And therefore everything is predictable, but it's not.
And even science will say it's not predictable.
And even if you think it is...
Technically or theoretically predictable.
Well, we don't.
Well, to be fair to them, they weren't wrong until, like, the 1940s and 50s and whatever.
Because, well, like, on the physics side of this, everything could be predicted, and then all of a sudden it couldn't.
And everyone was like, oh, crap.
Because of the quantum level, things can't be.
But the thing is, this doesn't address the fact that even if we didn't have a choice in anything, we still have to act like we have a choice in anything, and we don't really have a choice to act in any other way, because that would essentially mean we abnegate all moral agency from human beings, and that's just not going to happen.
Yeah, I don't really get the point in that analysis, really.
Even if we were, who cares?
The determinist thesis just seems to be we live in a universe.
And it's just like, well, yeah.
Joker face.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Sorry, I only watched that once and it was very quick, so I'll have to go through it in detail.
But essentially, I do think we have the choice to make certain moral actions, even if, underlying that, there is a material universe that is atoms and molecules still at play.
I think we still get to make that choice.
There's a point of rational determination.
I believe that we have a choice.
Why?
Because I am programmed to believe we have a choice.
Well, that's the other point.
Well, yeah, but we are, and if we don't, then none of this works, and suddenly you end up as a Democrat.
You've seen the Future Armor episode, right?
Yes.
The robot being like, I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe.
Yes.
And it's like, yeah, we'll actually live in his life.
But yeah, but at the end of the day, then how could you ever claim to be a moral agent, and why would you think you make any decisions at all?
But also, who kind of cares?
Even if we are all determinants, then it's like, well...
But again, the determinants thesis is very...
I don't think it's solid at all.
And I think what they're trying to do is connect science to something that is actually in the realm of morality.
Well, the science is now as well, at least on the quantum level.
Well, yeah, the science is not settled or anything.
They don't know.
And they're trying to establish a coherent thesis.
If it's something that isn't even a scientific question, it's a moral question.
Well, no, it is kind of settled.
Like, when you observe stuff on a quantum level, you change its outcomes, or you can't really predict what state it's going to be in, you can only guess.
Okay, determinism BTFO'd.
Well, yeah, kind of, on that level.
Mr.
Physicist.
Anyway, it's only if you're making the argument that you can calculate every atom and everything, and therefore every outcome is like...
Even if that is theoretically possible, you can't do it, so get over it.
It's physically not.
So let's move the next one.
They're at it again.
They're at it again!
Yeah, I can't wait for the lawsuits.
I hope he gets, like, a billion dollars.
Like, some ridiculous amount.
I honestly do hope he ends up with enough money in order to buy CNN. Which is CNN worse.
Probably not that much these days.
The ratings are terrible.
Let's get to the next one.
The whole truth and the footage is to help it out.
Are you serious?
Exhibit number 69.
Nice.
You'd agree it says, sometime during the incident, my Glock 27 fell off my waist.
Correct.
Okay, that's a lie.
I wouldn't say that's a lie, no.
So it didn't fall off your waist, it was in your hand.
That's correct.
So you would say that's not a lie?
No, I would say it isn't.
It wasn't until you pointed your gun at him that he fired.
Correct.
Bruh.
That's fantastic.
That is great, yeah.
Thanks to God on social media.
John, put that in the shared drive so I can post that.
That's brilliant, by the way.
Best point of the trial.
I love the fact that even...
Didn't he have a friend, and his friend posted on Facebook what his thoughts were?
The only wish you'd got him, yeah.
Yeah, it was...
I don't know what on earth...
Some witnesses go into trials and they come out as morons.
I mean, Grosscraft is literally in the trial being like, yeah, I'm an evil villain and I was trying to kill him.
But also, you were lying.
Yeah.
It's just like you painfully are.
Yes.
I'm an evil villain.
It's basically all I took away from that.
Let's go to the next one.
So a friend was telling me that his kid had a question in school.
Do violent video games cause violent behaviour?
The kid is a Call of Duty fan and knows they don't, of course.
But the correct answer to get a pass is yes.
So he had to write that.
Ah, Seattle.
Dusting off a classic.
Except that, didn't it used to be the conservative religious right, but now it's the liberal atheist left demonizing games?
Man, that looks awesome, by the way.
And I love being as like, Mr.
Rittenhouse, do you play Call of Duty?
Really?
Really?
We're here, are we?
We're here.
Oh, God.
Did your dad ever buy you toy guns?
Yeah.
But I mean...
Did you go play Cowboys and Indians with other kids and shoot them?
So the very obvious question is, well, what caused violence before video games?
Video games have been around like 30, 40 years.
People have been murdering themselves for literally thousands of years.
What now?
People used to play army as a kid.
Crusades, jihads, you know, what caused violence?
Oh, that's so cute.
I can't imagine living in the middle ages like the kids are playing jihad.
Well, they probably would, yeah.
Okay, next one.
Hey there, it's your favorite daddison Oklahoma again.
Say, what do you call a chapter leader in daddism?
Priest?
Bishop?
Patriot.
I don't know.
Anyways, judging by how you guys talk about anime, I take it you aren't a big fan of weebs, huh?
Well, if you think that's bad, do you know that a good number of your watchers and subscribers are... are... furries?
You are?
That's a great expression, by the way.
I have no proof of this, and I don't want to see proof of this, so we'll just pretend that's not true, and we'll move on.
Yep.
They're going to kill you if you don't watch out, and I can see now that you are not going to watch out.
Why don't you use some sense and try to be more like me?
You might live to be 107, too.
Because it's better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knee, Nately retorted with triumphant and lofty conviction.
I guess you've heard that saying before.
Yes, I certainly have, mused the treacherous old man smiling again, but I'm afraid that you have it backwards.
It is better to live on one's feet than die on one's knees.
That is the way the saying goes.
Hmm.
I didn't listen to any of that.
I was just listening to a voice.
I don't know if that makes any sense.
Very nice reading voice.
Yeah, I was just like, damn, she's got a good voice.
Sorry, I missed the whole context.
Sorry.
Let's go to the next one.
Sunday night, 51 degrees and a light breeze as I walk little Joan around my empty South Jersey town so she can sniff and pee on everything.
The leaves are accumulating in the gutters and the shallow impressions in the street and on the sidewalk in my town.
It's after 9 and it's just the two of us walking off dinner under the light of my cell phone and the odd street lamp.
Passing by the Whitman Stafford house, I head home promising Joan a treat.
The air and earth are fresh after a rain, but we are done for the night.
Time to return home and make a video comment for the Lotus Eaters.
Tomorrow the week is new and full of promise.
That was nice.
I like that.
I love you, little Joan, with the feet up as well.
Yeah, absolutely.
I like the picture as well.
It's a very, very beautiful picture.
You ever watch Zee Frank?
Zee Frank?
Anyway, he's a guy who does true facts about the duck, for example.
The main theme is basically ducks are rapists.
That's true, yeah.
Anyway, he did another video which is about thoughts of a dog, which is like what the dog thinks about what's going on, and he's like, well, I tried to help my human by shouting at everything that came to the house, and he wasn't appreciative of it.
That's what it reminded me of.
There's some kind of insight into Joan's mind.
Anyway.
love it Chad I mean, yes, but what kind of looks are you getting bringing a Crusader helmet into a gym?
I am curious, like, did you get any weird responses, or was everyone like, oh, look at that guy?
Have you seen the gifs?
There was, like, two guys who got full suits of armor and are doing that?
Yeah.
I imagine the same, where it's just like, well, okay, here to film.
Let's hope so.
To the people who say that you can trust the corporate news media because they are well-funded, I would probably ask, why would you assume that people are honest just because they have money?
If so many people are going to just assume that what the media tells them is the truth, then why wouldn't they say what's in their own best interest and not in yours?
I've actually never heard anyone make that argument.
No, it's a terrible argument as well.
I looked up CNN's net worth, apparently it's 22 mil, so Sandman could fight.
Apparently.
So...
Sandman literally could buy it.
CNN. Which also, I mean, they don't have that much money.
I expect them to have more.
How much is the Washington Post worth?
I don't know, that's a good question.
Oh my god, we could...
Imagine Rittenhouse and Sandman getting together, setting up a corporation and just go, like, get bent.
And they just buy everything.
And then just shut them down.
Yeah.
The Washington Post.
Just buy it, decommission it, done.
I mean, why wouldn't you?
If you're Sandman and you've got $250 million, what am I going to do with this money?
Goddammit, Jeff Bezos owns it.
He purchased it for $250 million.
Yeah.
But CNN? 20 million.
Unless that's wrong.
That's just the first link that popped up.
I mean, maybe.
Who knows?
Anyway, let's go for the next one.
Hello, Lotus Eaters.
I am currently reading former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's recently published book, Radical Nation, discussing the lead-up and everything that's happened ever since Joe Biden became president.
It's been endorsed by Trump and other former allies, supporters of the, well, Trump agenda.
And it's a really interesting read for those not in the know.
Definitely recommend it.
Hmm.
Cool.
I don't really trust Sean Spicer after he went on, like, some talk show.
The name doesn't ring a bell.
Well, he was the White House press secretary, and he quit because it was tough, because the entire media had turned on him.
But then he was trying to integrate himself with the sort of leftist media, and it's like...
What's he doing?
So I don't really think I trust him.
Apparently the second link and the third link here say it's like five, six bill.
So the first link when you Google it is just wrong, I guess.
Right, okay.
Sorry, how much was it?
Six bill.
Six billion?
Yeah.
But it means, you know, if you sue him, you can get some money.
Well, yeah, obviously rinse him for as much as you can.
Alfred Bates says, The Rittenhouse verdict is justice, but this is antithetical to what the left want.
That's correct.
They want social justice.
Social justice is collective.
Justice can only ever be individual.
This is a great comment, by the way.
A social justice verdict would be a kangaroo court version of justice, where the individual's personal guilt or innocence is framed through a racial lens, 400 years of slavery and white supremacy.
The left would say whatever it needs to say or do to support this narrative, not because it's true, but because it deconstructs the current system.
It's another front in the information war, which is another front in the colour revolution.
That is a fantastic summary of why this is something that they're sticking in their craw.
Why, as you were saying, why are they doing this?
Well, that's...
Yeah, that's a fantastic answer.
Yeah.
No getting around it.
Biden's weird earlobes says...
Does he?
I've never looked.
Can we get a picture of Biden's earlobes?
John Leap's interaction.
Did you see the White House account on Flickr?
Like, Flickr's a place where you get...
Yeah, yeah, I haven't seen it.
The White House account up there, they start uploading pictures of Jen Psaki's feet.
Yes.
Yes.
No, no, no.
I don't know.
It's Biden's Weird Earlobes.
That's just the name of the person who posted this.
It's the first thing that comes up as well.
Yeah.
Any weirdness of it?
Oh, is this the meme where it's like they changed faces because the earlobes are different?
I mean...
And it's secretly Trump wearing a Biden face mask?
Do you remember that?
Yeah, I've heard the conspiracy theory.
The notorious hacker known as 4chan is attempting to hack Joe Biden.
Okay, anyway.
But anyway, Biden's weirdy lobe says, it's pretty funny that the day Kyle got acquitted and Biden got anal probed for a colonoscopy on the same day, it's funny that it was International Men's Day based.
Yeah, I know, it's great, isn't it?
So it's a nice confluence of memes.
Chris says, Congratulations, goodest boy Kyle!
My strategy when people are outraged by the verdict is to ask them why Kyle shouldn't be able to defend himself.
They say he shouldn't have been out that night.
Why not?
What was dangerous about peaceful protest?
People start to think that when you remind them that the rows of burning cars don't count as a candlelight vigil.
Great point.
Again, like this, oh, he shouldn't have been out that night.
Yeah, but neither should have the other people, so why is he uniquely bad?
Callum says, Regardless of all the cack being thrown at Rittenhouse, despite his clear innocence...
I'm going to raise a pint here to the kid in Scotland and wish him good fortune in his future.
I might order a takeaway as well.
Yeah, honestly, go nuts.
You know, why not?
By the way, do you have munch boxes in Scotland?
I keep hearing about them.
I've never seen one.
What's a munch box?
It's like a box just filled with, like, deep-fried trash, and it's like 10 quid or something.
And, you know, if you're drunk...
Sounds pretty good, actually.
Yeah, it sounds amazing.
When you look at it from, like, the day after in the morning, you're just like, well, why would you eat that?
I mean, that sounds pretty good.
Anyway, on to the media.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, who knows?
Yeah.
That'd be nice.
No, no, they actually have a case there, I think.
Oh, really?
Why?
Well, just the law I studied for the UK on this.
I mean, like, if you have caused some emotional trauma and you have been telling lies, well, then the ingredients are there.
And it is very personal.
I mean, you were raped by the dude.
I mean, it's pretty personal.
Proximity is all that.
Pedro, why are you supporting a child rapist?
Simon says, on the media lies, feel and share your anger.
I bet the restrictions will be one line somewhere never to be seen.
A retraction, sorry.
That's a good question.
Jimbo says, they should stop putting people's race in headlines.
They should stop framing everything through race unless it's explicitly a race-related news story.
I'm looking at you, BBC. Yes, I'm looking at you, all of them.
Some of them have tried that, but they only tried it in certain instances.
Well, they only do it when it looks bad towards a certain race.
Yeah.
I mean, British man, Abu al-Bakar daddy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yes.
Charles says the judge was voted in by Democrats, by the way.
Yes, I remember hearing about that.
Because they're all going, ah, well, he's a racist judge.
And it's like, well, you chose him.
I mean, A, what's racist about him?
He's not presiding in anything racial in this thing.
Long Talks on Leach says, if they don't tell the readers Carl was white every sentence, they might lose sympathy for the pedo martyrs.
Yes.
Thomas says, the trucker peace attack will swiftly vanish from the headlines.
That's correct.
You chaps were talking the other week about the media killing stories.
Remember the Capitol shooter from April?
Yeah, exactly.
Who was he?
Well, he was a Black Lives Matter terrorist, wasn't he?
Oh, the taxi just the other week.
I mean, that's out of the headlines.
Yeah.
Gone.
The media went all in for gun control.
Once they discovered he was a black nationalist, the story disappeared.
There we go.
So fast it made your head spin, nobody ever remembers it as an example.
Yeah, I know, it's amazing, isn't it?
But this is how you can see it's the media causing the controversies.
You know the taxi thing as well?
See you in Asylum Seeker.
Oh, the Liverpool one.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
And he was rejected like four times or something.
Yeah, because I got the statistic.
It was like since 2010 or something of successful terrorist attacks, what is it like?
40% have been asylum seekers now?
And with him, it's going to go up even more.
And for some reason, a failed asylum seeker was left in the country for seven years.
Deport?
Why is he here?
Anyway, Buck says, to be fair to these reporters, they assume that anyone screaming the N-word at a BLM riot was going to be black.
It's a good point.
Fair point.
Maybe that exonerates them all.
And Ignacio says, I hope the Rittenhouse verdict makes communists think twice before rioting.
Well, that's the point, isn't it?
I think it will.
And I think the general underlying tone of the messaging is, oh no, the evil white Republicans are going to be able to defend themselves.
Just remember that.
You know, they're going to be armed and they have a legal right to defend themselves on their property.
So, you know, be careful.
They're going to have someone to shop in the morning.
The inner cities won't.
Yes.
But it's kind of like a dog whistle to the communist mobs that they've been puppeteering with their false narratives.
It's like, you know, they're going to shoot you.
But it's also interesting because it keeps the riots in the, let's say, leftist areas.
So it's just left on left violence.
And notice in Kenosha, when the 500 Republican Guard were deployed, no rioting.
No outside agitators, which they were.
But in Portland and Seattle and best of other places, left-wing shitholes, sorry, they got their rights.
So there we go.
But yeah, keep them there.
And I suppose that's the edge.
I was only going to mention it because I was listening to a thing on Thomas Sowell and him writing about the fact that when he was a kid...
His brother went out there with some race rioters and just asked them, like, where are you going to shop tomorrow?
They didn't have an answer.
And then the entire high street was just gone.
I mean, afterwards, all of them left as well, so they had to travel in cars to go and shop.
Amazing.
And it's now led to a situation where, on average, black Americans and poor Americans have to pay more for the same groceries because of the travel expenses and whatnot.
And it's like, well, who did this?
Have a thought.
White supremacy strikes again!
Yeah, no, here's the community activist, as Sowell calls it.
Yes.
That's a generous way of calling it, is our community activist.
So we'll end that there, but if you want more from us, go to loadseeds.com, of course, and you get access to all the premium content by signing up, or all the free content, or everything else.
Yeah, we've got loads.
Also, that's how we fund the show.
But if you want to see us again, we'll be here tomorrow, one o'clock.
