	Hello and welcome to the podcast The Lotus Seaters for the 16th of December 2021.
	I'm joined by Harry.
	Hello.
	And today we're going to be talking about how CNN is crashing and burning.
	Also, Florida Man decides to put in the Stop Woke Act.
	Yes, Florida Man fights racism.
	Again, Florida Man just being beautiful.
	I am actually very, very jealous.
	Florida Man's finally got to his final boss.
	Yeah, Floridians living the life we all want to.
	And also the COVID gas lighting, which you're going to be going through as well.
	Yeah.
	I'm smiling because we were talking about Burnt Face Man.
	I can't stop smiling now.
	And Tap Man.
	Tap Man.
	Some people will get that.
	Anyway, so some things to mention first on the website.
	There's some new stuff up here.
	So the first thing being a free video here, which is Critical Base Theory No.
	3.
	The Phenomenon of Rarefication.
	So this is a video Thomas did, because Thomas is doing a series.
	Don't point at me for Thomas.
	I'm Harry.
	I did that.
	Oh, okay.
	Anyway.
	People already have enough of a hard time distinguishing the two of us.
	He's doing the Critical Base Theory series, so go check that out.
	If we go to the next one, we have an article from John Tangney.
	Would the real racist please stand up?
	Invoking Eminem there.
	I believe that one's premium because it comes with a silver tier track for Silver and Gold Team members to listen to as well.
	Shots you know Eminem.
	You don't like reading.
	It's very weird.
	I've got, like, very patchy references to culture.
	I know, music!
	Yeah.
	Anyway, and the last thing to mention being Getter.
	So follow us on getter.com.
	So let's get into the show because we'll be able to cover.
	Alright then, so, it appears that CNN is crashing and burning.
	This is not unwelcome news, I will say, but it's kind of been going downhill for a while now, ever since the beginning of the year.
	In fact, ever since Trump was booted out of office...
	And I thought I'd just go through the timeline of stuff that's been going on recently.
	So the first thing we've got here is this Fox News article talking about how since the beginning of the year, CNN ratings have been crashing, specifically in October.
	I imagine they're probably not looking any better now in December.
	But let's take a look through what they have to say here.
	So the Liberal Network shot shed a whopping 76% of its audience since January.
	Three quarters of CNN watchers...
	Well, they were all just there for the Trump dunks, really, weren't they?
	That's all they were there for, and then he's out of office.
	It's like, well, it's not like they provide news coverage, so I'll go elsewhere.
	Actually, I mean, what do they provide, apart from Donald Trump dunks?
	Highly partisan reporting.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	So, during the month of October, nearly every single program failed to average 1 million viewers, according to Nielsen data.
	This marks historic lows for the so-called most trusted name in news.
	I'm sure they gave themselves that name.
	Yes.
	The only two exceptions during the 31 days were the 90-minute Bidentown Hall, which still came in third place behind Fox News and MSNPC, averaging only 1.2 million viewers.
	And the 30-minute Cuomo primetime that aired immediately after with 1.1 million.
	CNN averaged a devastating 480,000 in total day viewership in October, a whopping 76% drop, blah, blah, blah.
	Fox News averaged 1.4 million and maintained its total day viewership from earlier this year, while MSNBC did that.
	So Cuomo primetime was CNN's most watched program in October, which does not amount to much since its beleaguered anchored Chris Cuomo Recent average of just 807,000 viewers, losing 8% of his audience in September.
	So it seems, just in general, to have been going on a very, very downward slope for the past year or so.
	But they had that huge drop as well because, well, Donald Trump's not there, so...
	Yeah, what am I watching these guys for?
	And they've also had a few other hits, so if we move along, we've covered this earlier on in the year on the podcast, obviously.
	Project Veritas have been doing the Lord's work and exposing lots of liberal news media for being the propaganda that it is.
	We had this one.
	I want to see the salutes in the chats for Project Veritas.
	Actual kings.
	Yes, they are.
	Go ahead and catch them.
	Well, we'll be returning to Project Veritas before the end of this particular segment, so we'll see what else they've been doing.
	But obviously this one was more in particular.
	They were talking to the CNN technical director, Charlie Chester, who admitted, look at what we did.
	We, CNN, got Trump out.
	I'm going 100% to say it, and I 100% believe if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have gotten voted out.
	I came to CNN because I wanted to be part of that.
	Basically just saying that they are highly partisan propagandists, let's be perfectly honest.
	Which...
	It isn't a particularly good look when you're trying to advertise yourself as an objective news source.
	I would certainly think so.
	I mean, we've all known it for a long time, but it's lovely to have an admission.
	Oh, yeah.
	And if we move along, you may have remembered just a second ago I mentioned that Chris Cuomo was the highest viewed programme on CNN. Not anymore!
	Because he's been fired!
	For very specific reasons as well that don't really speak to much journalistic integrity.
	Is he also very Italian, as his brother put it?
	I imagine so, but I mean, that's not as important to this particular part of the story.
	So, yeah, we've got this BBC article.
	U.S. anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired by CNN for help that he gave his brother, ex-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, while he was battling harassment allegations.
	Obviously, you and Carl covered that earlier this year.
	Do you not get the Italian reference?
	Yeah, no, I know.
	It's because he got all of the allegations that he was touchy-feely, and he's just like, well, I'm just the It's just an Italian-American!
	Hey!
	What are you going to do about it?
	Wait, no.
	Hang on, no.
	Every Italian is not a serial harasser slash rapist or something?
	What the hell are you saying?
	Well, let's not go that far, but Europeans can be a bit weird, let's be fair.
	Let's be fair here.
	They kiss when they meet.
	That's gay, bro.
	The decision came after CNN said that additional information had emerged over the extent of Chris Cuomo's involvement in his older brother's defense.
	Andrew Cuomo resigned in August after prosecutors said that he had harassed staff.
	Chris Cuomo, 51, said in a statement that he was disappointed and it was not how I wanted my time at CNN to end, I bet.
	He had worked for the network since 2013 and became one of its most recognizable news presenters and most recently leading CNN's coverage of the 2020 US presidential election.
	Meaning, in effect, that he was the face of the propaganda machine along with other hacks like Don Lemon and the other presenters that they have on there.
	A CNN statement said that a respected law firm had been hired to investigate Chris Cuomo's efforts to help his politician brother fight allegations of sexual harassment.
	But while that review was happening, new information has come to light, leading to the network terminating his contract effective immediately.
	So they were already looking into him, and then some more stuff came out, and they were just like, okay, no, cut ties with this guy, get rid of him.
	He may turn out to be an Italian.
	Yeah.
	We've got access to his birth records.
	You'll never guess what.
	Keeps coming into the office and saying, Bobbity Boopy, I don't know.
	Bobbity Boopy!
	Sorry, Italians.
	It's not you.
	It's the Cuomo brothers who have done this.
	Yeah, we're just England.
	We're just English.
	We're just horribly xenophobic to everyone.
	Don't worry.
	Chris Cuomo had already been suspended by CNN on Tuesday after the extent of his behind-the-scenes efforts to help the scandal were revealed.
	So, once again, obviously, he probably seemed to have had more involvement.
	Documents released by the New York Attorney General Leticia James on Monday showed that the younger Cuomo continuously pressed the governor's staff to let him play a larger role in his brother's defence.
	You need to trust me, he texted Melissa DeRosa, his brother's secretary in March, adding, we are making mistakes we can't afford.
	He also pledged to contact Other US media outlets to try and learn of other allegations that were forthcoming.
	So, allegations that hadn't even come out yet, and he was like, hey, heard anything on the grapevine, guys?
	Got any info for me, lads?
	It might help my brother's case.
	So it doesn't really speak to much journalistic integrity, does it?
	What does that even sound like?
	Like, what's the conversation there?
	Hey, have you heard anything about this other woman my brother harassed?
	Sure would be a shame if others were to find out about that, wouldn't it?
	They'd be sleeping with the fishes who ever read.
	Yeah, but yeah, so he's using his industry connections to try and get insider information so that Andrew could potentially head off any further allegations before they got into the public eye.
	Not particularly ethical, I think we can all agree.
	I mean, I can understand that it's his brother, and obviously he cares about his brother, but if you're a journalist, Trying to claim to be objective.
	Sorry, I looked at the chat.
	It's-a me, molesterario!
	Got him!
	Chat's funny.
	But yeah, and these people are also constantly whining about Trump having been corrupt and colluding with other people.
	It's like, this isn't a good look if you're going to try and throw that out there.
	The Star Anchors dismissal will raise serious questions about journalistic standards in the US. More...
	Broadly, well, narrowly speaking, more about CNN, I would say.
	CNN's media correspondent Brian Stelter, another shining paragon of journalism, said that viewers need to be able to trust what they're hearing here on television, and when we're covering a sensitive story, even if it involves the family member of a colleague.
	I don't understand how they trust CNN to begin with, but okay.
	The Cuomo family has long been one of the most dominant dynasties in US politics.
	Andrew Cuomo, blah-de-blah-de-blah, just talking about the family history there.
	But as a result of this, Cuomo's decided that he might sue.
	Because that's a great tactic to go for.
	So a mate of mine mentioned to me, and it has to be done, someone in the right-wing book sphere needs to go to Cuomo and be like, book deal.
	Spill all the beans, CNN, and the left, and all the skeletons they've got in the closet, and you can have this book deal and a load of money.
	Well, that's the thing as well, is that he did lose a...
	I've not included it in here, but he did lose a book deal because of all this coming out.
	It's primed!
	So there you go!
	You know, any right-wing book publishers out there, I mean, there's a target for you right there.
	It's free money, guys.
	I'd read it.
	He must know where all the skeletons are buried.
	Absolutely.
	He's been in the organisation for that long, and obviously his brother and the family involvement, he knows a lot more than we know he does.
	But it says, Fired CNN host Chris Cuomo is set to sue the network if it balks at paying him the at least $18 million to cover what's left on his contract.
	If you ever wondered why people on CNN are just open shills...
	18 million dollars.
	Yeah, that's a lot of money, to be fair.
	Also, yeah, contracts should be legally binding and everything, but you kind of broke all of the, well, not that I imagine most of the other journalists there haven't, but you did break all of the ethics and their rules.
	You probably broke elements of the contractual agreement in trying to help your brother in such a way, so I don't know that they owe him that money.
	No.
	Let's be honest here.
	Yeah.
	He's hired lawyers and is preparing to file the lawsuit over the remainder of the four-year contract he signed last year.
	His contract was reportedly $6 million annually, leaving $18 million and $20 million that he would be owed, sources said, adding that Chris would also likely be to seeking damages.
	Sorry, I keep reading the chat.
	$18 million, that's a lot of pasta.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	Goddamn.
	CNN has no intention of paying Cuomo a penny, an insider said.
	Shock, I know.
	Pasta man will be very sad.
	He's going to be very sad indeed.
	Oh, my money!
	Alright.
	I'm just drunk.
	If he gets the settlement, there would be an uproar, the source added.
	Another source said that CNN has a standard morality clause in the contract that says if the employee does anything of disrepute, they can immediately be fired.
	The lawyer's stance even came ahead of a planned internal CNN probe into an unspecified Here's the Italian coming out.
	I am aware that there's also...
	I don't know if it's the same allegations, but apparently he might have squeezed someone's bottom back in 2005 when he's working for a different network, so that might be coming through as well.
	So...
	CNN obviously trying to distance themselves from him, but sadly for them, he was their top-rated and most-viewed anchor.
	He was their poster boy.
	Yeah, he was their poster boy.
	I even saw the cringiest thing ever the other day, which was Libs of TikTok posted it, where it was some guy who'd written a song about how his wife and his daughter love Chris Cuomo, and oh my goodness.
	Cuomo-sexuals.
	Yes, he goes, oh my goodness, I think I might love Chris Cuomo as well.
	I think we should do a welfare check on those guys, let's be honest.
	But it's not all bad for CNN, because if we move along...
	They've got a Fox News anchor moving to them.
	They're having to poach Fox talent to replace people.
	So Chris Wallace has announced...
	Oh, okay.
	I knew Chris Wallace had left Fox News, but he's joining CNN. Yeah, CNN Plus, apparently, yeah.
	Fox News anchor Chris Wallace.
	This is a CNN article, so you're going to be able to feel the cope coming through here.
	Written by two known liars.
	Oliver Darcy, a man who spends all his life trying to go after Alex Jones, and then Brian Stower, who just makes up conspiracies in his own head.
	Yeah, you and Kyle covered one of his things the other day, didn't you?
	Yeah, she was just like, just imagine if there's a coup.
	Therefore we need to do a coup.
	I was like, Brian, this doesn't follow, sir!
	Yeah, one of the few high-profile news personalities who retained a reputation of integrity as Fox leaned hard into right-wing and conspiratorial programming.
	Announced Saturday is departing the network and joining CNN Plus to host a weekday show.
	I know, right?
	It's pot calling the kettle black, isn't it, really?
	And you can feel the cope dripping off of it.
	Wallace made the stunning announcement of his departure at the end of a Fox News Sunday, the flagship weekly programme he'd done since 2003.
	It's the last time, and I say this with real sadness, we will meet like this.
	He described his time as Fox as a great ride and said he was ready for a new adventure.
	Apparently he'd also been very critical of Tucker Carlson and other such people in the more recent time, just because of the fact that he's not happy with all the stuff that they're saying, and it's like, I'm sorry mate, Tucker's doing good work.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, what are you going to do?
	I do think Chris Wallace is one of the, let's say, older Fox News types, like I know he's been there for a long time, so it might be the difference in the Trump movement coming up, and then people...
	Yeah, the difference between the establishment rhinos and the newer Trump...
	Perhaps, but that's just speculation.
	That is speculation on our part.
	But then, whatever goodwill or good fortune they might get from getting this guy is about to be obliterated, because all of a sudden, if we move along, we got this announcement on Twitter from the FBI. Albany Sack statement regarding the arrest of CT resident John Griffin.
	And this is where things might get a little bit difficult to listen to because of the subject matter, so just warning you right there.
	Yeah, the arrest of John Griffin was a senior producer for CNN on Chris Cuomo's show.
	Not looking great.
	It says here, the allegations are deeply disturbing.
	And let's go along to see what is going on.
	So if we move along, yeah, the FBI have arrested them, John Griffin, for allegedly inducing minors for sex and transporting them across state lines.
	So this is a senior CNN producer.
	Who worked for New Day, which was Chris Cuomo's flagship show.
	Is a nonce.
	Is a nonce.
	Allegedly.
	Right.
	So far, the FBI have arrested them, so CNN suspended one of its staffers following a federal indictment accusing him of coercing parents to allow their minor daughters to engage in sexual activity at his home.
	John Griffin, who according to his LinkedIn profile is a senior producer for CNN's flagship morning program New Day, was arrested by the FBI. And I will warn, just going on, it's going to go into a bit more description, this man is a degenerate, if this is all true.
	And it's absolutely disgusting.
	So, according to the indictment from April to July of 2020, Griffin utilised the messaging applications Kik and Google Hangouts to communicate with people purporting to be parents of minor daughters, conveying to them, among other ideas, that a woman is a woman regardless of her age, and that women should be sexually subservient and inferior to men.
	The US Attorney's Office in Vermont wrote in a statement on these communication programmes, Griffin sought to persuade parents to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive.
	In June of 2020, Griffin advised a mother of 9 and 13-year-old daughters that the mother's responsibility was to see that her older daughter was trained properly.
	Was he joining the Taliban?
	What is this?
	It's disgusting.
	Honestly, anyone who's familiar with Lost Prophets will understand this sounds a lot like the sort of stuff that Ian Watkins got arrested for.
	He was another guy who basically groomed the mothers to let him do whatever he wanted to the daughters and children.
	It's messed up stuff.
	Yeah, but his justification there, like him saying, I need to train them properly, sounds like the Taliban, where they think, oh no, they hit puberty, therefore it's fair game.
	Well, we've not checked if he's converted recently.
	Jesus Christ.
	But yeah, Griffin later transferred over three grand to the mother for plane tickets, so the mother and her nine-year-old daughter could fly from Nevada to Boston's Logan Airport.
	to the Holy Land the mother and child flew to Boston on July of 2020 where Griffin picked them up in his Tesla and drove them to his Ludlow house at the house the daughter was directed to engage in and did engage in unlawful sexual activity pretty gross stuff So it carries on, like, he was doing some really nasty stuff, and it was all mostly taking place at this, like, Ludlow ski house that he purchased through a LLC that he had with his wife.
	I don't know if she knows anything to do with all of this going on, but it's kind of weird that he has enough money to facilitate all of this sort of stuff.
	I mean, he's a senior producer, but it's kind of weird.
	He's probably getting paid a lot by CNN. Yeah, that's true.
	But yeah, it's all a bit weird.
	CNN themselves have an article about it if we move along.
	So they had an article basically just admitting that...
	Well, saying that they didn't know anything.
	He'd been working there with CNN for about eight years, since 2013.
	The charges against Mr.
	Griffin are deeply disturbing, a spokesperson for the network said in a statement on Saturday.
	CNN has not been able to identify an attorney for Griffin, why they would want to protect him with these allegations.
	I don't know.
	According to an indictment filed on Thursday, Griffin allegedly pled for, paid for and kept an online profile on a BDSM dating fetish and kink site, which I think is what that kick application was, for several years leading up to July 2020 when he allegedly wrote he was looking for women who were sexually submissive and open-minded.
	Pretty messed up stuff.
	And then if you go along, we've just got the Department of Justice report of it as well from the US Attorney's Office in the District of Vermont.
	So, the United States Attorney's Office emphasises that an indictment contains allegations only and that Griffin remains presumed innocent until and unless he is convicted of a crime.
	On each count, Griffin faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years of imprisonment and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
	The indictment includes a notice that states the federal government intends to seek the forfeiture of Griffin's Ludlow House, his Tesla, Mercedes, and other property that was used in the commission of the charged offences.
	So it's all pretty nasty stuff, but we do have to make sure as well that we say that he is innocent until proven guilty.
	But, knowing the left's track record on these things, I'm not holding out for an innocent verdict.
	I'm just not guilty verdict.
	I'm just saying that.
	Your prejudice is that.
	Yeah, that's my personal prejudice.
	You know, I've just looked into too much stuff to do with the left, so I'm not holding out much hope that he's innocent.
	I'm just going to say that.
	And if we move along, you can see as well, Jack Posobiec posting images of the two of them together, because obviously they did work together.
	It is important to point out with these sorts of things, this doesn't prove anything on Cuomo's part, because they worked together for a very long time in a professional capacity.
	That does not necessarily mean that he was aware of any indecent behaviour going on behind the scenes.
	I mean, if he is found guilty, I mean, you've got him, him trying to defend his brother who's doing gross stuff as well.
	Obviously, cumulatively, this does not look great on Chris's part.
	No.
	No, it really doesn't.
	If we move along again, we've got this tweet.
	People are also coming up with some relatively conspiratorial things, and like, how did he manage to afford all of this when he's got a second home that he paid $1.8 million for?
	But at the same time, is CNN... Apparently CNN is pissing money, so...
	I mean, if they're paying Chris that much, I can imagine they're paying him probably a good amount, seeing as he's like the senior producer on their flagship show.
	So I wouldn't be that surprised if it was just his pay.
	But if we move along, there's also some facts about him from heavy.com.
	He bought the $1.8 million Vermont house listed in court documents with his wife in 2020 using an LSC. And then it also talks about his children, which I do not want to get into.
	I don't know why it was they bought this in the first place.
	I don't know if it was so that he would have a particular place to be able to take his victims, but that's the facts of the matter right there.
	Yeah, if we move along as well, I also got up the average salary for a senior producer, typically 136 grand a year, but once again, he was the flagship senior producer, so who knows for certain.
	But, this is also not the only thing that's been going on with CNN, because it turns out they might be even more of a hive of noncery than was first revealed there, because Project Veritas, bringing it back around again, has revealed that another paedophilia scandal involving a CNN producer happened.
	Has just emerged.
	Wednesday night, Project Veritas published graphic texts and video of a CNN producer fantasizing about molesting his fiancee's daughter.
	I think your face sums it all up there.
	According to the outlet, one text exchange featured the producer telling the source how his fiancé's daughter was...
	And then it...
	You know, I'm not going to read that part.
	It's quite disgusting.
	CNN producer also allegedly solicited sexually explicit photos of the source's underage daughter.
	The messages and videos were allegedly obtained by a woman who was involved in a relationship with the CNN producer for over a decade, Janine Benani, a case manager for human trafficking victims as well as those of domestic violence and sexual assault.
	The source claimed to have obtained the information for authorities, but contacted Project Veritas when she was worried that action might not be taken.
	The source told the outlet that she felt disgusted and felt the need to come forward because these people with power seemed to get away with it, which...
	Generally speaking, holds up.
	Hang on, hang on.
	He's a nonce, right?
	Or alleged nonce.
	And he got a relationship with a woman who deals with human trafficking.
	By the sounds of it, I don't know if her career coincided with their relationship.
	Maybe the relationship with him is what led her into that career.
	I don't know, but what the...
	I don't know, but just to point out as well that to protect the children, Project Veritas is not yet releasing information about anyone involved in the story, including the producer.
	So, obvious reasons.
	So they'll just take it to the FBI or whatever instead.
	Yeah, presumably.
	Here you are, boys.
	Yeah, not that they've got a particularly great relationship with the FBI currently, but we'll see how all that goes.
	But generally, all in all, this whole picture is painting a very, very bad image of CNN at the moment, and they're crashing and burning, and to be honest, I'm more than happy to watch this den of potential pedos and misinformation die.
	Yeah, I mean, it's a terrible institution.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	The thing that reminds me most of it, because people remember back in the day when it was something else, there's a wonderful advert they published in the 2000s, when Bush was in office, of course they're opposing him, and it's like, this is an apple.
	Some people might tell you it's an orange, but this is an apple.
	Saying orange, orange, orange doesn't change that it's an apple.
	It's like, you compare that to their coverage of, let's say, trans rights.
	Oh yeah.
	And it's just like, yep, it's a short skip to the change they have come into.
	So it's not even like they, I don't know, have always been this way or something, but they've destroyed themselves and good.
	Yeah.
	They're Sideshow Bob walking into the Rakes over and over and over again, and they've set them for themselves.
	So, good job, CNN. Let's move on.
	So, let's get that up.
	Right, so let's go to the Florida Man.
	Sorry, Florida Man.
	Florida Man strong!
	I like calling him Florida Man, because it's just funny.
	So, Ron DeSantis, or Florida Man, as I like to call him, because Florida Man has done X, Y, Y, Z as a meme, and Florida Man, I think, is Ron DeSantis himself.
	I also love the arc of, like, Florida Man one day becomes president, being a headline in Florida.
	Yep.
	Anyway...
	So this is him producing the Stop Woke Act.
	So this is him saying that this should be passed.
	I presume it's in the Florida legislature where he wants it to be passed, not the federal government.
	And I think he should be able to do that because I think they're in charge there.
	Yeah, I'd be surprised if he got it federally.
	Yeah, so you can see here Breaking 911 and Getter posting that he wants parents to sue schools for teaching critical race theory.
	So you'll be able to actually sue a school if they are teaching your kids this crap in Florida.
	So let's move into one of the details.
	So if we go to the Federalist, Federalist is a big breakdown of apparently what he's proposing.
	So Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the introduction of the Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act on Wednesday in an effort to combat what he says is an overwhelming movement of corporate-sanctioned racism in his state.
	So this is the best part.
	He is going after the diversity industry directly and saying, if you are using...
	ever for kiddos or anything of the sort to indoctrinate them into this crap, banned, and you can be sued for it.
	But also, if your company, so if you're an employee at a company, and your company mandates you to go to this anti-racism training and teaches you about how you're evil for being white or inferior for having brown skin, then, well, that's an abuse.
	And we all kind of agree with that already in employment law when it comes to the fact that your employer can't just force you to take struggle sessions in regards to their ideology.
	I think most people would be a bit resistant to their employer trying to get them to sign up for Scientology.
	Yeah, or just making them sit there and learn about communism all day.
	Or being like, yeah, so new nationalism.
	There's some interesting points there, folks.
	Yeah, national socialism now, let me tell you.
	Yeah, not allowed.
	And yet this stuff is allowed.
	So he's like, no, we actually really have laws against this.
	I'm just enforcing them.
	So, in here, our legislation will defund any money for K-12 or higher ed going to critical race theory consultants, DeSantis said in a Thursday press conference where he was joined by the Manhattan Institute's Christopher Rufo.
	I do like the Rufos involved in this.
	This is a fantastic thing that our conservatives definitely don't do.
	No, absolutely not.
	Everyone who is fighting in these scenes should be regularly invited on by the, let's say, right-wing politicians to, well, educate them and guide them through what needs to be done, the reforms that are needed in this country.
	DeSantis, I imagine, is a very busy man, so it's not like he's like Rufo, who can just take all the time he needs to sit down and read through the garbage that comes out of the critical race theory canon.
	And Rufo's got a million examples, whereas, you know, DeSantis only has a few to mind because he's got a million other things going on, doesn't he?
	Anyway, so he says in here, we're also not going to allow the staff or employees or teachers in our education system to be subject to that kind of training where they're forced to sit and listen to it.
	This is not, sorry, this is wrong when it's done to our kids, but it's also wrong to force employees to have to go through that.
	And that's a point I really love he's picked up on, which is, well no, this is also an abuse of workers' rights.
	Well, yeah.
	And the left are like, no, we have nothing to say about the workers' rights, because workers' rights don't matter.
	Yeah, I will also say, once again with the involvement of Christopher Rufo, Christopher Rufo's been big on trying to use the term critical race theory to incorporate basically just most bad things that come from intersectionalism as well.
	But it's so overlapped at this point, I think it's fine.
	Well, that's the good thing, is that this isn't just potentially a way to fight back against the racism being taught in schools, but also toxic gender ideology and all that sort of stuff as well.
	Sure.
	But the diversity industry in general, let's say.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But quite frankly, them forcing...
	Because we get leaks endlessly from viewers, and I thank you for sending them in, are from every company, every part of, let's say, the economy, frankly.
	From finance, to video game making, to all sorts.
	And endlessly, employees are just being subject to this crap, where they're being taught that you are wrong or you're right based on your race.
	Yeah, they all seem to have bought into...
	This is an abuse of the employee.
	Yeah, they all seem to have bought into the Klaus Schwab patented stakeholder capitalism, where you're not a good company unless you're pushing some kind of message.
	So he says in here, God, I wish our conservatives spoke like this.
	Yeah, it's just so good.
	He also says, And if the media says it isn't happening, but it obviously is, and he gives some examples.
	So then we'll move on from this, because actually I realized that I have some clips, and the clips have a lot of those quotes in.
	So we'll go to the first clip instead.
	And I view the wokeness as a form of cultural Marxism.
	They want to tear...
	They want to just, it's not just, you know, people say, you know, they're leftist associates.
	It's not just like taxes and all that.
	Yeah, they do want that and that's not good, but they really want to tear at the fabric of our society and our culture and things that really we've taken for granted, like the ability of parents to direct the upbringing of their kids.
	I mean, I love it.
	Yeah, it's wonderful to hear.
	Before he says cultural Marxism as well, he explicitly says, you know, they're trying to subvert our institutions, they're trying to subvert our culture.
	Full-on talking point straight from the, I forget his name, the ex-KGB guy who came over.
	Oh, Yuri.
	Yeah, Yuri Bezmenov.
	Yeah, full-on Besmanov talking points right there.
	So he's getting the right information.
	It also is good to use the term, what does he say, cultural Marxism there, because some of the, let's say, older right-wing comrades in the culture wars will remember when cultural Marxism on Wikipedia wasn't listed as a conspiracy theory, and then the emphasis went in.
	It's a conspiracy theory now.
	Does this mean that Ron's an anti-Semite?
	Yes, apparently.
	But no, of course it's not.
	It is just a description of what the left do on a cultural basis, which they are fighting a culture war.
	Just like the right is.
	It's not a conspiracy theory, or even...
	It's basically their stated aims.
	Yes!
	That's what it is.
	If you want to double-check that information, just go on Wayback Machine and look for the cultural Marxism from 2014 on Wikipedia.
	But there's also the obvious point, okay, whatever, you know, some of the older right-wing comrades, as I say, might have known that term, but the modern version, and of course, as just laid out by Kimberley Crenshaw, you could refer to it as intersectionality or wokeism, it is the same thing, which is the demand for race, gender, class, socialism, so on and so forth along those lines.
	Yeah, basically just form a coalition of a particular special interest group, whether you want to classify LGBT, a particular race or anything, and you push for political change.
	It's equality along those lines, and, well, usually, primaracy for the outside group, as Crumbly Crenshaw would put it.
	The margins.
	Redistribution within the in-group.
	But anyway, we don't have time, as I say, to redefine wokeness, as we usually do.
	But for those who don't know, and may have joined us for the first time, usually define it as just socialism along class, gender, and racial lines.
	And that's why they are obsessed with such things.
	But anyway, we'll go to some examples of what Ron DeSantis is specifically pissed off about, and rightfully, let's play clip two.
	And a lot of the media would think, oh, it's not happening, it's not happening, and they would basically act like this is all just made up.
	Well, let me show you some of the things that have been done throughout our country just in the last couple of years.
	The Arizona Department of Education created a, quote, equity toolkit, claiming that babies show the first sign of racism at three months old and that white children become full racists, quote, strongly biased in favor of whiteness by age five.
	Santa Clara County Office of Education denounced the United States as a, quote, parasitic system based on, quote, the invasion of, quote, white male settlers And encourage teachers to cash in on kids' inherent empathy in order to recruit them into political activism.
	And a Philadelphia elementary school forced fifth graders to celebrate black communism and simulated a black power rally to, quote, free Angela Davis from prison.
	And at that particular school, 87% of students fail to achieve basic literacy by graduation.
	I mean, just insane.
	Jesus Christ.
	I mean, all white babies are proto-racists at three months, but then they graduate and become four racers for five years.
	All that sort of stuff is just complete pseudoscience that they refuse to acknowledge, because it's like, where did you get that information?
	Ah, the race god told me.
	He handed me down this sacred information.
	And once again, just saying the quiet part out loud, just black communism.
	Yeah, so we're in black communism.
	I was like, okay, so you're a bunch of Black Panthers.
	And you're trying to radicalise the kids.
	Yes.
	And not teaching them to read, apparently.
	Very simple.
	But of course, I mean, all of this, it kind of hits me at this point, and I don't really react anymore because we hear it so often doing this stuff, but every single point there is the kind of thing that should be a moment to entirely stop and review the entire system, or fire everybody involved and just get new people in because it's so corrupt.
	This is the sort of stuff that got the Democrats kicked out of Virginia recently.
	Because all this stuff was going on in the schools and it's the parents, specifically often the mums, pushing to get rid of the stuff.
	But it's fantastic from DeSantis there to make the point so clearly to anyone who wasn't paying attention.
	Maybe like, okay, it's just silly stuff, so who cares?
	But then, of course, this is taking up the time to the point that, what, 87%, as he says, of the kids involved in the black communism example could not achieve basic literacy.
	Couldn't read.
	87%.
	I mean, this is embarrassing to such an extent that that's that bad.
	I mean, why is that?
	Like, 1900s?
	Level of literacy?
	Probably worse, to be perfectly honest.
	When the initial schools in, like, America for black students like Dunbar High School were done, they would have much better literacy rates than most of the good white schools as well.
	So, complete failure.
	Anyway, but also he mentions the fact that it's a codish industry, like I said, and we'll play that.
	This has become a cottage industry, this CRT. There's people making huge amounts of money.
	They basically will get tens of thousands of dollars to go in and do a training, sometimes at schools, sometimes at businesses, you know, basically saying like, okay, pay me $50,000 so I can teach your employees How racist capitalism is or something like that.
	And I'm just thinking to myself, well, you're certainly charging a king's ransom to do that.
	You don't complain about capitalism when you're lining your own pocket.
	It's just when other people are doing well.
	Yeah, then they're upset.
	And if you want a specific example of this, I have a British one to hand over a new story.
	So, this is from Guido Fawkes here, which is the fact that the Workforce Race Equality Standards Scheme in the UK, in the NHS, no less, a programme which attempts to monitor and control diversity and equality in the health service, not health, no, no, no, we're going to monitor diversity, right, by setting diversity targets and turning it into an instrument of social justice.
	Wait, so they're trying to take the health system, which should be open to everybody who's paying the taxes, whatever.
	It should be a health system.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The health system.
	And they're trying to turn it into an instrument of social justice.
	So a political organisation.
	Yes.
	What does that mean?
	Does that mean...
	Oh, sorry, we got the colour swabs out.
	You're too white.
	Get out.
	It's a left-wing think tank slash, you know, struggle session generator instead of health service.
	Brilliant.
	As you can see, Gila writing there, yes, as opposed to an instrument of saving lives.
	Because that's not what the health service is for.
	It's not for saving lives.
	It's for social justice.
	Well, Boris has anything to do with it.
	Anyway, the research finds that despite an estimated £50 million to £60 million spent on the scheme in the last five years, eight of the scheme's nine diversity indicators have shown no significant improvement.
	Well, it's because they're not there to actually improve anything.
	They're there to line their own pockets.
	It's also just a wonderful thing in case you run a company or are in a position to talk to the HR staff who do such things and ask them, why am I paying you?
	What have you achieved?
	You set out these targets.
	Right, okay, we'll set these targets.
	What significant improvement have you made?
	None.
	You've made none.
	You're fired.
	And your scheme is banned.
	Save the money.
	No, no, no, that's not how government bureaucracy goes.
	So you've not achieved anything?
	Well, we'll just have to throw more money onto the fire.
	Clearly you need 60 million, because 30 million wasn't enough, perhaps.
	And that is what happened in the NHS. I mean, this being from a think tank here, who is critical of wasteful spending, has to go and find this.
	The government themselves.
	I mean, remember, Savid Javid, I'm going to crack that up.
	Fuck off.
	You love wokery.
	There's no way he'd crack that up, wokery.
	Piece of crap.
	Anyway, so they say in here, the scheme is the creation of a cohort of ideologically-minded individuals who benefit from the program whilst the costs are left to patients and the taxpayer.
	Ultimately, this means money is wasted and not spent on improving health.
	No S. Never was going to be.
	Anyway, the paper adds the NHS chief people's officer...
	Priyera Issa, who ultimately is responsible for all this, is on my £230,000 a year salary.
	That's more than Boris.
	More than Boris.
	Also, apparently more than the CEO who hired her at the NHS Trust.
	And you see, as they mentioned there, worth bearing in mind as Rishi whacks a health and social care levy on everyone's payslips.
	Everyone in this country has had a tax increase on their payslip to pay for this.
	Yep.
	This is what we're paying for.
	Because the Conservative Party is now the Socialist Party.
	God save the NHS. Yes, we will fund social justice for 60 million this year, just in this one scheme.
	Never mind her, never mind the hundreds of other CEOs and diversity officers we've listed in the past.
	But I've made my point.
	It's unbelievable how bad this is as a racket.
	Let's go to the next clip.
	The San Diego Public Schools did a training where they accused white teachers of being colonizers on stolen land and told them, quote, you are racist and, quote, you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.
	And they recommended that the teachers undergo, quote, anti-racist therapy.
	So this is wrong when it's done to our kids, but it's also wrong to force employees to have to go through that.
	So you are not going to have that in any school in the state of Florida, which is good.
	Bank of America has had training teaching that the United States is a system of, quote, white supremacy and encourages their employees to become woke at work.
	Verizon has taught employees that America is fundamentally racist and they've even promoted defunding the police.
	And a Google employee program claims that America is, quote, a system of white supremacy And that all Americans are, quote, raised to be racist.
	And so that is some of the stuff that we're seeing.
	You know, I think about it.
	If you're in a company and someone's telling, you know, dirty jokes or doing this, that could be considered a hostile work environment.
	Well, how is it not a hostile work environment to be attacking people based on their race or telling them that they're privileged or that they're part of oppressive systems when all they're doing is showing up to work and trying to earn a living?
	So we believe that this corporate CRT, it's basically corporate-sanctioned racism, and they're trying to shove it down these employees' throats.
	We believe that that violates the Florida civil rights laws, but if to the extent it doesn't, we're going to make sure that the law does include this into these laws so that employees have an ability to protect themselves against this kind of, really, which is harassment.
	Could not agree more.
	Good man.
	And the thing I'm loving there, everyone in that room, everyone there, I mean, especially Chris Rufo being a very, very famous activist on this basis, has made it a front-line issue by getting Donald Trump to jump in on it.
	And then, of course, everyone else.
	They are carving out the legal route to save the West from wokeism, essentially.
	Yes.
	On the legal path, the main thing that they have that keeps them afloat is money pouring in left, right, and centre for no work.
	They get paid so much to do so little, and, well, it just keeps propagating them.
	I mean, this is part of the reason they're so powerful.
	And the big corporate monopolies eat this up.
	Sure.
	But, of course, it's a violation of equality law.
	It's a violation of employment law.
	And it's also a violation of educational law when it comes to school.
	That's the best thing whenever you look into the new legislation that's been written up to, you know, break this sort of stuff up.
	When you actually look into it, especially when it comes into schools and other such things like that, you hear all the leftists being like, oh, they're trying to stop people from learning about, you know, slavery and all that sort of stuff.
	No, just read the laws and they say, we want to make sure there is...
	Fair and reasonable teaching of history, including but not limited to the KKK slavery.
	They're actually including all of that stuff that they say CRT is and saying, no, we want that.
	But they are breaking up the underlying stuff that people don't want you to know.
	But I'm sure many people watch it.
	I mean, we've been talking about this stuff for a long time.
	And the thing is, it is such a simple reform.
	It is just to simply enforce the law or to tweak it as needed so that the workers at a job are not forced into their boss's ideology, no matter how insane it is, that the kids in school are not indoctrinated into the elitist ideology of their radical teachers, and that also people are not just being, quite frankly, harassed at their workplace, as he puts it.
	That's why I really love the aspect there.
	Because it is good, of course, to focus on schools and to make sure the next generation isn't being indoctrinated with crap.
	But also, quite frankly, this is so ingrained in our society.
	And all those kids have gone to university and it's just on college campuses, bro.
	They've now got all the jobs.
	They've now run all these elite institutions.
	They're in the HR departments holding them hostage.
	They're holding a whole society and economy hostage.
	I mean, sure, they're not destroying the whole thing, but that little parasite there is sucking out so much cash for this ideology to propagate itself.
	And if there is a legalistic route to get rid of it, this is how it is done.
	This is a reform every Western nation needs at the minimum, anyway.
	So if we move from this, so if we go to the, I believe the next link we see here, Chris Rufo also posted this, of course, because he was quite excited to be there, as he should be.
	And also, hats off to him, done an outstanding job.
	Do we get to see the screeching now?
	We'll get to that in a minute with the hoes mad, but I thought we'd just first listen to another one of Rhonda Sanders' points, which is, of course, that this is an extremely elitist ideology.
	Let's go to the next clip.
	...country.
	Nobody wants this crap, okay?
	This is an elite-driven phenomenon being driven by bureaucratic elites, elites in universities, and elites in corporate America, and they're trying to shove it down the throats of the American people.
	You're not doing that here in the state of Florida.
	...
	Good man.
	People of Florida, you are blessed with something there.
	I mean, no other conservative movement has someone like that who is doing the right things and showing the way in which things are to be done.
	Can we borrow Ron for the weekends?
	I wish.
	Anyway, so people in Florida, you know, feel gifted, but also the rest of people outside of Florida, we need to work to make people like that in office and to put forward those reforms.
	Anyway, so you can also see Chris Rufa here who gave a speech.
	I believe everyone around him basically gave a speech.
	I only had a chance to watch the first like 30 odd minutes of the full video that Santa's put on his Facebook of the whole event.
	But anyway, of course, Ho's mad because Ho's always mad.
	So let's go to the Ho's mad.
	So first one here after Rufa gave a speech, Keith Olbermann being, I don't know, sick of talking about Russia or whatever else he's talking about these days.
	Isn't Keith Olbermann like a sports commentator?
	Yeah, I think...
	Why does he feel the need to shove his nose in this stuff?
	He started making, like, these really weird conspiracy theory videos about Donald Trump.
	I mean, if you believe critical race theory isn't in schools, then...
	Yeah.
	So Keith responded, there is no critical race theory taught in schools, you childish yokel.
	And Rufo's just like, huh?
	And then here's a bunch of examples, you dipshit.
	Sorry for swearing, but it's just so pathetic.
	Also, calling someone else childish, Oldham posted that video going, like, anyone who's not got the vaccine, you're afraid!
	You're afraid!
	But also, if it's not in schools, what's the problem?
	Why are you scared?
	Because they'll defund you.
	Because it is in the schools.
	Let's go to the next one here.
	So we have someone else who's pointing out, obviously, that it's in the schools.
	So James Lindsay doing the gods work there.
	And then we'll go to the next one, which is another home ad.
	So this is some verified checkmark.
	Responding to the speech.
	White supremacy never sleeps.
	That's right, boy.
	The conservatives are here.
	We never sleep.
	Anyway, Ron DeSantis proposed the Stop Woke Act is modeled after the Texas abortion law.
	It would allow parents to sue if they believe their children are being taught critical race theory in schools.
	Spoiler, they aren't.
	Then what's the problem?
	Again.
	Why are you so upset?
	Why are you so out of place?
	If you're like, no, it's not in schools, but we also can't pass this law because then we'll be able to sue if it is in schools.
	Because you know it is.
	And you'll get sued.
	I'm just trying to get the association that, oh, it's like the abortion law, guys.
	You all hate the abortion law, right?
	So you've got to hate this one, too.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so we'll go to the next one, so there's some other hoes mad here.
	And this one I just found amazing.
	So this person here being mad, and they're like, I look at Ron DeSantis' Stop Woke Act, and then it's an image of someone with, like, white paint covering up Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, and I can see Malcolm X there, who doesn't deserve to be in that category.
	I was going to say, yeah, I mean, if they just cover up Malcolm X, the black radical, maybe.
	Anyway...
	But this is someone who clearly knows nothing.
	And if you want to know what Critical Race Theory's views on, let's say, civil rights are, you can always check out Carl's video about it, because he did the reading.
	And of course, you can see here, Critical Race Theory explained part one, the problem with civil rights.
	And this is a video in which the Critical Race theorists, after desegregation came in, were like, well, this isn't very good.
	I preferred being segregated.
	How do we argue that segregation's good without sounding like a bunch of racists?
	So they just intellectualize their work.
	It's just as ridiculous as it sounds.
	If you shove it with jargon, then your average midwit's not going to be able to tell the difference.
	Yeah, as you can see in the title, Lamenting the Loss of Segregation.
	Yes, the very first essay in the textbook on Critical Race Theory is this guy being like, yeah, so things were better when we were segregated.
	I mean, literal Uncle Ruckus territory.
	At the back of the bus, I had so much room to stretch my legs.
	Anyway, so go and check that out.
	But that's that.
	Ron DeSantis, Flutteridian Man, and Hero of the West.
	God bless.
	Alright, let's move on to look at a compilation I've come up with over the morning of COVID gaslighting, just as a precursor.
	I'm going to be mentioning some stuff in this that may or may not be appropriate for YouTube, so just a little disclaimer, just in case, going forwards, there may be a cut-off point on this video on YouTube if they decide that it's a bit too spicy for them.
	I'm going to go with my scissors and...
	Yeah, yeah, get your scissors out, cut it all up.
	So, to start off with, we've got this thing from, well, everybody knows, obviously, the Omicron variant is supposedly rapidly spreading throughout the UK, although there has been some somewhat divergent figures given for that.
	For instance, I think the other day, was it Sajid Javid gave the 200,000 new cases per day, and then half an hour later walked it back immediately, because they were like, okay, that was just projections, guys, alright, we don't actually have any official figures.
	He said it would double every day as well, which if you ran those numbers by New Year, we would have 21 billion cases.
	Impressive.
	We're all going to get COVID 300 times, which is not bad.
	Fair play.
	You've got to spread that wealth there.
	So, the Politics for All have posted this the other day.
	An MP has said that they may have had Omicron last week.
	Cold symptoms, aches and pains for a few days.
	They didn't realise the virus symptoms had changed, they didn't get tested, and they came to Parliament.
	Now, I'm just going to say, obviously, just to be safe, if you get COVID, it can cause complications if you've got other health issues, and even if you are healthy, it could cause issues that can be dangerous to you.
	However, if you can get it and not realise that you've even got it, and just be like, I'll just...
	Felt like I had a cold and aches and pains.
	Doesn't sound that dangerous to me.
	That's not why anyone was ever concerned about the virus.
	The concern was, will you fill up the hospital beds, and therefore will you cause excess deaths?
	Yeah.
	But he came into Parliament, so it's obviously not restricted him from being able to go about his day-to-day life, if that is what he had.
	No, but remember that everyone in Parliament who voted for all these measures are all so scared, well, okay, that all of you need to start isolating from now on, because you've been in contact with us, man.
	Yeah, but you're not going to, are you?
	No.
	And if we move along, we've got this.
	This is where the gaslighting truly begins, which is Boris Johnson ended his recent Downing Street press conference with, I follow the rules.
	Everybody across politics should follow the rules.
	Is that why you definitely don't know about that party that allegedly took place at your flat?
	So, nine?
	Yeah, or nine.
	Well, I'm speaking more specifically about the one at his flat, because it's like, how do you not know that something's going on in your own home?
	Was Cary just super sneaky about it?
	Just keep the noise down, guys!
	He's with his team at CCHQ drinking, being like, hello lads, I'm following the rules.
	Yeah, the fact that all of this can come out and then he can just spout what are obviously bold-faced lies to the nation.
	And if you go down, you can just see people like Constantine Kissin just, like, mocking him, just like, haha, wait, you're serious?
	Okay.
	And then if we move along, you can see that the media, as always, is completely complicit in all of this because they support the lockdown.
	So, apparently, according to this article from The Independent, a majority of people in the UK support a two-week lockdown to combat Omicron in December.
	Which is what a recent poll has found.
	Yeah, basically.
	No, I agree, but let's carry on.
	The majority of UK adults support the idea of a two-week national lockdown starting in December to combat Omicron, new polling shows.
	Some 51%, surprise it's not 71, but okay, back the idea of lockdown over Christmas to halt the COVID variants' rapid spread across the country, according to the latest Cervantes Comres survey.
	Savanta Comrade survey, probably.
	One third of adults, 32%, remain opposed to a new lockdown, rising to almost two in five conservative voters, 38%, although almost half of Tory backers do support the idea, 48%, once again proving that the Tories are now socialists.
	Oh, I just don't believe any of this polling.
	Oh yeah, neither do I, but still.
	Downing Street insisted on Wednesday that Boris Johnson has no plans to go beyond current Plan B measures and impose tougher curbs.
	Extra doubt.
	Despite warnings from health chiefs that the NHS could soon be overwhelmed by Omicron hospitalisations, which, if you've seen anything that people like John have been posting recently, has been something that the NHS have worried about every single Christmas, going back as far as anyone can remember.
	Just look up the headlines from, like, The Guardian and The Independent from years before COVID, and every single Christmas it's like, will the NHS take it?
	Will we be able to survive?
	And we always have.
	But yes, pollsters at Cervantes Comres said the Prime Minister would appear to have the public on his side if he did bring up in further restrictions, which is why this does seem like, as you would imagine, something I don't believe.
	It seems like very controlled information being put through the press so the government can point to something if, or probably when...
	Yep, I've got more on that in a second, John.
	If or when they do decide to bring in new restrictions, probably within a week or so.
	Although no firm proposals for Plan C have yet been circulated to cabinet ministers, government officials are reportedly considering contingency plans for further restriction.
	And there you go.
	The media is actively, seemingly supporting this for the most part, as far as I can tell as well, especially when they're coming out with this sort of information.
	If we move along, I looked at the Cervanta Comres poll, and they were talking about other stuff as well as a two-week lockdown.
	They were talking about specific restrictions tested, closing of nightclubs got 63% support, stopping large crowds at sporting and entertainment events.
	Yes, I'd probably vote for that just because I hate nightclubs.
	That's fair, but you've got to let other people go.
	It can't be a spoiled sport for everyone.
	I'm joking, of course.
	Yeah, stopping large crowds at sporting and entertainment events, apparently got 64% in support, have the highest levels of support, with just one in five opposing each, 20% and 22% respectively.
	Other restrictions tested, such as the closing of pubs and restaurants, 44% support.
	No indoor mixing of different households, 44% support.
	Only allowing people to leave their home for essential shopping, exercise and work, 47% support.
	And the rule of six indoors, 55% report.
	all had high levels of support.
	So...
	That would be worrying to me that the general public feels that way.
	It would make me think that everybody is like those bots you see on a Politics for All post whenever they mention anything to do with it.
	Ah, no, actually, it should be a two-month lockdown, I'll have you know.
	But the polls that this is taken from, as John pointed out to us a second ago, was done with 1,004 people online.
	And if you do one of these polls, you have to sign up to do them yourself.
	So like YouGov, it's a self-selecting poll.
	But also, I just don't believe it at this point, even then.
	It's so unreflective of what you can see just in the streets of people being like, what are you doing?
	Yeah, I know.
	But this organisation as well.
	I can believe it with the audience that this place will attract because ComRes Global, I looked around their website, they have loads of stuff about BLM and lots of intersectional stuff.
	So the self-selection is even more biased in one particular direction who, let's just say, will be more than likely to support further government control and restriction.
	If we move along, we can see more media complicity where The Telegraph talking about records will be broken repeatedly as Omicron Surge's Chris Whitty warns.
	Because I care about what Chris Whitty has to say.
	If you scroll down, you can see they've got some notes here, the little bullet points.
	Expect staggering growth of Omicron, UK HSA chief says.
	France puts over 65s without COVID booster vaccines back in de facto lockdown.
	So France has just gone full on tyranny by the sounds of it there.
	I don't know if this matters.
	I keep reminding people because it gets lost in the conversation.
	The whole argument was not even that people may die of the virus.
	It was never that argument for any of these restrictions.
	It was the NHS may become overwhelmed and have excess deaths.
	And if that's the case...
	It is good to be reminded of that, especially when...
	It's not about getting the virus.
	That was never a concern for restrictions.
	Nor was it about people dying.
	Yes, especially when, on Sunday, in his address to the nation, Boris Johnson said that in administering the booster shots, all other appointments will be postponed.
	Which means...
	Those are excess deaths.
	Yes, those are excess deaths.
	If you have cancer and don't know and need to get checked up and then it has to be pushed back, if you have any other condition not related to COVID, you will be postponed and you could be...
	Affected by that.
	Very, very negatively.
	Sad as that is.
	So, like you say, it's not about protecting people.
	I would say it's about the control.
	Absolutely.
	The Omicron symptoms, it points out, are back pain and a scratchy throat.
	Now, people watching may not get this perspective right, but I am quite tall.
	I have pretty consistent back pain as a result of that.
	Does that mean you need to scoot a little bit further away from me?
	No, I actually feel lucky for being shorter now.
	Oh, there you go.
	I don't get the back pain.
	Do you not?
	Lucky bastard.
	Anyway.
	Chad.
	Chad Manley, yes.
	London Omicron cases are increasing rapidly.
	Politics latest.
	Boris Johnson, too weak to lead, claims Sir Keir Starmer.
	Because, as we all know, sadly, Labour have been going up in the polls recently in terms of the public's perception of them compared to the Conservatives, and I don't understand why.
	I mean, we've got some information on why in a moment, but if we just go back, because Keir Starmer, all of his proposals so far have been, I would do exactly what you're doing, Mr Johnson, but more.
	And that's it.
	That doesn't inspire much hope in me for people who might be wanting to get labour in later.
	But yes, if we move along as well, and also as well, just two weeks to lead from Starmer.
	The man who's demonstrated a lack of backbone.
	Yeah.
	I would very much doubt it.
	But yeah, it carries on.
	The chief medical officer for England said that the Britons need to be realistic and that records will be broken a lot in the next few weeks as rates continue to grow.
	It looks as if Delta, which has been with us for a while, is still flat and the growth is Omicron, he said.
	So we've got two epidemics, one on top of the other.
	An existing Delta epidemic, roughly flat, which, as far as I can tell, didn't really amount to anything...
	I mean, okay.
	And a very rapidly growing Omicron epidemic on top of it.
	So we've got Delta, which supposedly is more dangerous than the original virus, and then we've got Omicron, which experts say is 29% less dangerous than the original virus.
	So surely Omicron coming out more is going to be a good thing, relatively speaking.
	But, obviously, he doesn't really care about that.
	But yes, if we want to move on, we can see a reason for Labour's rising polls.
	It's nothing to do with people actually liking Labour.
	If we go down, just so we can see this graph, John...
	It's the fact that people just don't care about the Conservatives anymore.
	I love this.
	So for people listening, the chart is, where is Boris Johnson's base going?
	So 60% of Johnson's base are still saying, yeah, okay, I support the Conservatives.
	23.9% are just apathetic.
	And that's the largest amount of people disappearing from the party, with 8% going to Labour, 7% to Reform UK. So, I mean, 23%, sorry, 24%, essentially.
	I just don't care, because they're just messing stuff up.
	Yeah, this has just led to mass cynicism.
	So this is why Labour goes up in the polls.
	It's not because there is a movement to them of mass voters.
	It is because of an exodus of voters.
	Yeah, away from the Conservatives.
	Well, just from anyone.
	It's apathy.
	I mean, I don't particularly blame these people.
	The problem is, if it does give Labour a lead, Labour are just going to do everything that the Conservatives are doing just harder.
	But if the Conservatives win, the Conservatives will just do everything the Conservatives are doing.
	We're trapped!
	We don't have a second party, and we need one.
	Yeah, I mean, there is reform.
	You see reform.
	Those 24% apathetic just go to reform.
	Essentially, yeah, if you're looking for one.
	I mean, there are many good ones, as I mentioned, but that is the problem.
	There are many, and we would need a unification, quite frankly.
	Yes.
	But otherwise, reform, go for it.
	Why not?
	But if we move along, you can see here people have been pointing out other examples of media gaslighting going down.
	You can see here Wales Online.
	There have been huge queues with reports of people waiting up to five hours in England, for those not watching.
	It's an image of a very bright, leafy, green summer day with a massive queue of people queuing up to something that we can't really see.
	So, sure.
	And they're all wearing shorts as well.
	In the dead of winter.
	Hmm.
	I don't believe it personally.
	People pointing out that this is obviously just a lie.
	Or, well, lie by omission.
	Or misleading image, you could say.
	16th of December.
	Yeah, everybody out on a beautiful, green, sunny day in their shorts in English winter.
	I don't believe that.
	Sorry, if we move along.
	There's been something else that people may have seen on Twitter.
	Recently, Joe Rogan did an interview with a Dr.
	Peter McCullough.
	I've not watched it in full.
	I've seen a few clips from it.
	Obviously, they go into some spicy topics relating to the COVID pandemic and the lockdown measures and the vaccines.
	I can't really talk about any of that.
	I will say some of it does come across a little conspiratorial.
	I thought he came off like a quack, but either way, he should be able to have these conversations.
	Yeah, he should be able to have these conversations, but people are pointing out, this guy here, Momar, says it may be the best cited and best researched, most cerebral three hours of COVID information anyone in the world has ever heard from someone who has actually studied and treated patients, and YouTube took it down.
	Unsurprising.
	Is it still up on Spotify, I wonder?
	I've not checked, actually.
	So, check it out there if it is.
	Move along.
	But also we disavow, because we have to.
	Yes, because we have to.
	MythInformMike pointing out it's not just the YouTube video that's been taken down.
	If you share clips from the episode of the podcast on Twitter, like Melissa Tate did, Twitter will just suspend you.
	Fantastic.
	Move along again, we can also see here, there are people within the mainstream talking about this, and I've got this clip to show, just to show the level of cerebral conversation going on in the mainstream about this interview, if you want to play this clip, John.
	I don't know this guy very well, so I just looked up his Wikipedia page and he apparently has said things that are not true.
	He was saying hydroxychloroquine works.
	Here's a warning to people.
	Anytime somebody tells you how many citations there are in something, run very well.
	I agree completely.
	I don't know if we should be trusting necessarily Wikipedia when they label people misinformation.
	So I don't think that's fair.
	I think they've been labeling a lot of people who've been giving actual true information as misinformation.
	I think Wikipedia does that.
	I agree with you about, like, Twitter, and Wikipedia is generally pretty accurate.
	Full NPC attitude right there.
	Who is this dude?
	One, his voice sounds like evil alternate Ben Shapiro.
	Oh, God.
	Alternate universe Ben Shapiro is here to blue pill you.
	Yeah, I'm sorry, that accent.
	It's pretty, yeah, kill yourself.
	Anyway.
	Good on that woman for pushing back, but this guy just went, I looked at the first paragraph on Wikipedia, it says he's a liar, so I won't listen to anything he says.
	I'm joking about killing yourself, by the way, obviously.
	But still, it's just, what the hell is wrong with you?
	You're just like, I looked at the Wikipedia list, and that's my job.
	Yep.
	Journalism achieved!
	I take my job very seriously.
	I looked at Wikipedia and just went, yeah, that'll do.
	I'm not even going to look up...
	See, the thing is, if you want to know if someone's a quack, just watch what they say, and it's usually pretty evident.
	I mean, this is why I watched the guy, and I wasn't impressed with him, but fine.
	You know, other people want to listen to him.
	That's their prerogative.
	What's he going to do with me?
	It's his right to talk about what he has observed.
	But the weird thing I find as well with the annexation of YouTube and all the rest of them, I won't get into it too much, saying that we're going to police what's true.
	It's like, they also, what was it, a while back said they weren't going to allow conspiracy theory videos on YouTube anymore.
	It's like, sorry, I can't even just make up nonsense about 9-11 anymore for fun.
	That's not allowed.
	That's my weekend.
	Ruined!
	That's my hobby.
	Anyway, I presume that you can still find conspiracy theories about all sorts of nonsense, but this one, no, it's off limits because may cause harm.
	It's like, okay, prove that.
	Who's going to determine what may or may not cause harm?
	We have this problem in government.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, but then other people have noticed that Twitter's been updating their misleading information policy when it comes to COVID-19, so this is something that you may want to watch out for.
	Pointing out that here, they've got it highlighted on the image, false or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus, symptoms or immunity to unvaccinated people, despite the fact that's exactly what people like Boris have been saying the whole time, is one of the things.
	But then if you move along...
	You can see that ten minutes after they took that screenshot, they immediately edited it to say, false or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the vaccine or symptoms or immunity to unvaccinated people.
	Now, I don't know what that means.
	I'm going to spread the vaccine.
	I'm going to take the vaccine.
	Now, let me sneeze my vaccine onto you.
	Achoo!
	What?
	Did someone have a stroke?
	I know, it's really weird.
	Sorry.
	I don't know where the origin of this is, but I can only assume that they changed it very hastily.
	Very, very hastily.
	You're vaccinated, aren't you?
	No.
	Oh, you're not.
	I was going to say, stay away from it.
	You could spread it or something.
	I don't want your immunity.
	I also love the chat.
	It was just like, you know that guy?
	He was just like, oh, I read the Wikipedia article.
	We shouldn't call him a journal.
	We should call him a Wikipedia reader.
	Oh yeah, it's a Wikipedia Andy or something, isn't it?
	It's one of the readers on Wikipedia.
	And if we move along, I think it may be because of the fact that Twitter realised in their new misleading policy they might have to ban people like Boris Johnson for saying this clip.
	If you want to play the clip, John.
	"A lot of protection against serious illness and death, but it doesn't protect you against catching the disease, and it doesn't protect you against passing it on.
	So now is the time to get your booster." Yeah, so that would have been in direct contradiction to Twitter's new rules.
	You would have had to ban Boris Johnson.
	Also the CDC, as John was pointing out.
	Yeah, or also saying something.
	Is that still there, the vaccine?
	Yeah, the CDC, everyone has been giving this information.
	That has been, ever since they brought the vaccine out, the main point of getting it is that it won't stop you from getting it or spreading it, but it will reduce the severity of the symptoms.
	And Wikipedia's like, no, actually...
	No, not Wikipedia.
	Twitter's like, no, actually, you're wrong.
	Twitter's just making up medical misinformation whilst banning everyone else for medical misinformation.
	Including Boris Johnson, potentially.
	Is that thing still there, the vaccine?
	You can't spread it to other people.
	I need to double-check.
	Oh, it's so funny.
	Yeah.
	Sorry.
	It's not a great look for Twitter.
	So, the media and everything else is still gaslighting us, and if you wonder why some people seem a bit hesitant to go along with all of these measures, it's because from all corners of the media and the governmental bodies and institutions, we're just getting such contradictory information at this point, it's hard to keep up.
	That vaccine thing tickled me.
	Dear, you can't deny that you could spread the vaccine.
	What?
	I read that and I had to read it through like five times.
	I was like, I'm...
	Sorry, am I retarded?
	What's going on?
	Oh, that's going to be your comments.
	It's Charlie coming in from the socialist hellhole of his whales...
	Hoping you're all having a great week.
	I'm here to show you my band's album.
	The band is called Deliberate Miscarriage and our album is called Mortuary Melodies.
	We are death metal in the style of Candleport's Pestelence.
	Death.
	Hope you're all giving a listen if you like riffs and looking forward to meeting some more bass musicians.
	Cheers.
	Nice.
	I'm a metalhead, so I might have to check that out myself.
	Deliberate Miscarriage.
	I love death metal band names.
	They're so ridiculous.
	I've known so many bands in the past called Stupid Visions of Disfigurement and stuff like that.
	I was about to say, it's a video comment specifically made for you almost, but I feel weird.
	Pretty much.
	The Logistics is sponsored by Deliberate Miscarriage.
	This is going against Carl's wholesome message.
	Yeah, anyway, thanks from Wales.
	Callum won't be listening, I'm sorry, but I might check you out.
	Sorry you have to deal with the crap I see coming out of Mark Drakeford and Wales.
	Also, if you'd like to, I don't know if you know, but check out Voice of Wales as well, who operate there, and always look for Rush Sport, so let's go to the next one.
	So as you watch this, it's going to be my birthday!
	I want my birthday, I paid for it, give me!
	I really need a pick-me-up because our government and justice system has pretty much yet said that we acknowledge marriage to minors and we are going to protect it under the law.
	This is a disgrace.
	I am embarrassed and disgusted.
	I hate this and I stand with Inger Stoiberg.
	That is pretty gross.
	Yeah.
	I was not aware of any of that.
	That's disgusting.
	I think, considering...
	I said we wouldn't do it again, but considering you went through all that crap with your sister and did the good work of showing us all the books, I think she's earned a happy birthday song.
	All right.
	All right, chat, all together now.
	Happy birthday to you!
	Happy birthday to you!
	Happy birthday, dear Sophia!
	Happy birthday to you!
	God, I hope it was Sophia.
	Yeah.
	I was just going to say Danish lady, but...
	I think I read the name right, so hopefully that's well.
	Happy birthday.
	Good luck holding on in there.
	And I think she's recovering from the bookstore, so...
	Oh, God, yeah.
	Have fun.
	Also, didn't I just say, the left is really playing their hand with the whole pedo thing recently.
	They're not making it particularly subtle.
	Chat's being wholesome.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Okay, sorry if anything I say doesn't make any sense.
	I have a migraine at the moment, but a question popped into my mind.
	Do you guys think that we're ever going to not have this whole race-focused thing?
	I know we had it a little bit in the 90s.
	I'm too young to remember that, but I know it did happen.
	Do you think this whole race tribalism is just inevitable and that we're never going to get away from it, or do you think we'll actually eventually stamp it out?
	If we had more Ron DeSantis' out there, I would say happily that we could stamp it out.
	As it stands at the moment, I have no clue.
	So, first thing to be said always is you can never eliminate an idea, so that's never a goal.
	The goal is essentially to marginalise it.
	So, where does it come from?
	Specifically, especially being British, this is not our ballgame.
	This is a Yankee ballgame.
	Yeah, this is purely American import.
	Yeah.
	Specifically, leftist Yankee lunatics have made this a mainstream topic through the Democratic Party and through CNN and all the rest of it and their universities, and it has been exported to all of us to suffer.
	So essentially, we need to destroy that source in the sense of we need their funding to be gone, we need their airtime to be gone, and all the rest of it.
	I would also say...
	We can attack their funding, absolutely.
	As you say, we understand that.
	Yes.
	I would also say that they have also been quite successful at drawing a direct link between current CRT as a continuation of the 1960s liberal civil rights movements like Martin Luther King and other such people like that.
	So it would be good to get a distinct cut-off from those two movements.
	Well, it's kind of hilarious, isn't it?
	I know what you mean.
	In the public consciousness for people not paying attention.
	Oh, if you're just teaching about history of racism, that's what Martin Luther King cared about.
	Dude, every one of your essays is how it was better on the segregation.
	So the idea you have anything to do with the civil rights movement.
	In the opening paragraph, which we read many a time from Karl's textbook, they're just like, yeah, so the civil rights movement was bad.
	Why?
	Because it harmed black people, because now we have to be non-segregated.
	Now we have to be nice to white people.
	It's just insane.
	But yeah, we can absolutely have the funding.
	I don't know what we can do about the Dems.
	That's the Dems problem, quite frankly.
	And as for leftist media, we can just try and marginalize it, get rid of any privileges it has in society, and make people stop watching it.
	As in, you know, convince them that, come on, what are you waiting for?
	I mean, it's one of those ideologies, the more you actually learn about it, I think the more people will be put off by it.
	Yeah, so it's never going to be gone fully, of course, but we can marginalize it and make issue politics the thing again by, fundamentally, I think, the money.
	That's why I'm so pleased to see Ron DeSantis doing what he's doing, because that is the main vector of attack that will be successful.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So I haven't made a video comment in a little while.
	As of right now, I'm currently making a video for YouTube.
	Oh, hey, it's done.
	And the video was about five words that have had their definitions changed over time.
	And so I'm just wondering if you guys can think of any more that I missed.
	The five that I used are sexual preferences, court packing, anti-vaxxer, racism, and conversion therapy.
	Those are the five that I know have had their definitions changed in recent years.
	Can you guys think of any more that I missed?
	I mean, just going into critical theory, just random terms like colonizer, just those sorts of jargony critical theory terms.
	Colonizer, I mean, he mentioned racism, didn't he?
	You can go back further and look at the communist subversion of terms like freedom and other such things, liberation.
	Lots of movements nowadays looking to liberate various aspects of their own identities and other such things which basically just means take away responsibility from, whereas it's pointed out freedom and other such terms used to mean freedom from, like freedom from government, whereas now it's freedom to. like freedom from government, whereas now it's freedom to.
	Freedom to do whatever I want without the restraints of physical reality, for instance.
	I can't think of one that's not its definition changed, but I can think of one that's definitely And it's the distinction between equality and equity.
	So the dictionary definition of equality is, of course, things being equal, and equity is meant to be fair treatment, as dictionary defined, right?
	But these words are never used that way.
	They're used interchangeably with our language, and especially in diversity, inclusion, and equality departments in education, the dye department.
	Because they want you to die.
	So, that's all that comes to mind, really.
	Sorry I couldn't think of one better.
	So, let's go to the next one.
	Driving in this type of snow is downright terrifying.
	I have no idea how anyone else drives.
	I only know how well I can drive in the snow.
	I've seen three separate big trucks crashed, and I've only been driving for like...
	30 minutes.
	Oh boy.
	Sorry, did you just send that to us in a panic?
	Also, why are you using your phone while driving in these conditions?
	To be fair, I've driven in those conditions before, back from Liverpool one time, and it is pretty cool, I will say.
	It's kind of scary, but you feel like you're in the hyperspace in Star Wars.
	Like the danger as well.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Just responding to Joshua Moore, you guys can keep Boris because, quite frankly, Scott Morrison's been saying some good things.
	He's been going on the news quite often and saying, government needs to get out of people's lives.
	And I like Dominic Perrottet because he's lifted all the COVID restrictions.
	We're done.
	So if you want to enter that raffle, again, that's cscooper.com.
	Callum, don't make me come down there.
	You did it to yourself.
	CSCooper.au.com.
	Is that correct?
	No.
	Dotcom.au.
	Dotcom.au.
	We need to get our shills right.
	That is cscooper.com.au.
	Wait, no.
	Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's fine.
	You, C.S. Cooper.
	Burned into my memory and now it's confused me and now I don't know what's going on.
	I feel like Joe Biden.
	Anyways, on the point of Australia, I have one question about your parliament because I watched some clips from it.
	So you guys have the, it's a weird layout, but you guys have the opposition and the government, right?
	And the Prime Minister gets up and they seem to have like, how do I explain this?
	There's the main hall where we'd have the staff and the books and all that.
	And the Prime Minister will stand up, talk, and they'll like sit down and face the Speaker.
	But our guys obviously don't do that.
	They sit back on the bench and face each other.
	Like, what's that about?
	What's going on there?
	I don't know.
	Well, I'm asking the Australians.
	Maybe they sat down like a naughty child.
	Or a teacher.
	I was watching it, I was like, what's he doing?
	Is he disabled or something?
	Because it would just look strange.
	Maybe he's just staring down the speaker, trying to scare him.
	Yeah, but it's also kind of rude, because at least when you're facing each other, the opposition, they're all looking at each other and they can give some evil.
	I refuse to look at you, sir!
	Yeah, but they're just like, I'm not going to even look at him.
	He's not here.
	It's like you're giving him a silent treatment.
	If they start talking, do they just raise their hand up and say, I can't see you?
	No, no!
	Anyway, just a question.
	I might be completely wrong as well.
	I might be looking at him weird, but let's go to the next one.
	Art gains.
	So, we're all familiar with how leftists do not allow reality to inform their perspective, but I think a lot of right-wingers are guilty of pretty much the exact same thing.
	Nobody actually cares that you're not a racist.
	It's irrelevant.
	I mean, we're pretty much at the point right now where, if they could get away with it, the leftists would be hauling people away in cattle cars just for being normal.
	Yeah, I also hate that phrase, the real racists.
	It's like, okay, we're the pseudo-racists, but they're the real ones.
	It's like, what?
	What kind of self-own is that, you idiot?
	It's also just absurdist to have this discussion, especially with left-wing politics, and they start talking about minority rights, and it's like, okay, let me just get the list out of all the ones the Soviet Union killed.
	When we're done with that one, we'll get the one out of the nine Chinese genocides that you've...
	We don't even have to go to Nazi Germany and make that argument with them.
	Just list off all the different ethnic groups that the Soviet Union killed, then pull out the one for the Chinese Communist Party.
	Che Guevara has an interesting list of people.
	What's North Korea's opinion on race mixing?
	Let's ping that out and have that conversation, shall we?
	I don't know.
	Have I mentioned that before to you?
	It would not surprise me that North Korea does not want their pure blood being tainted.
	Well, it's interesting, though, because you don't usually get it from communists as overt as them.
	And the really...
	There's two great examples.
	I won't go into them too much, but a bunch of Eastern Europeans came down to help with the war, to be medics and whatnot, and they intermarried and had kids, and then the North Koreans annulled the marriages, sent the Eastern Europeans back to their Warsaw countries, and just took the kids into care.
	And they were just like, no, they're race-mixed.
	We're not having them in a society.
	Okay.
	Alright, fair.
	And that's the first instance that's a great example to lay out of their obsession with such things.
	But there's also, in like 2018 or something, the North Korean delegation and a South Korean delegation got together to talk about the sea border, because it's never really been defined that well.
	And there was a port nearby, and one of the South Korean guys cracks a joke about how, oh yeah, haha, we need the border to be here because we need access to the port, because, you know, a lot of South Korean men get married to Japanese women, am I right?
	And the North Korean guy, like, loses his shit...
	Like, it's really angry, and it's just like, no, there cannot be one drop of impure blood in the Han River.
	Oh my god.
	And even the South Koreans are like, alright, calm down.
	I didn't realise it was such a big deal, guys.
	Yeah, but anyway, we'll do a conversation about that some other time.
	It's one of my books I've got that I'm obsessed with.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Saturday's Ink, from what I've been told, I've not actually seen it, thank god.
	It's actually fascinating to me.
	It reminds me almost of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, in that as much as they're saying that it's going to be a progressive show, all the messages it gives makes it more seem anti-progressive.
	It's like reverse Poe's law.
	Santa's Inc.
	shows people being hired just for their race, and then shows them screwing up their job, and it shows the Jewish main character run over a reindeer, then just stare at him blankly, call him the reindeer N-word, and leave.
	Yeah, the reindeers in Santa Inc.
	are all supposed to be stand-ins for black stereotypes.
	So it's kind of weird that the seemingly sympathetic main Jewish character just runs one over and calls him...
	Like you said, just calls him the reindeer N-word and then drives off to leave him to die in the snow.
	What's going on, Seth?
	You okay, buddy?
	What's going on, man?
	Oh, man.
	You remember that?
	I can't remember the name, but there was a music video for some black rapper who, in the middle of the line, every word is the M-word.
	That's part of the song, right?
	And then he mentions, we need to start using our money in our communities like the Jews do.
	And his Jewish label cancelled him.
	His agent or whatever is Jewish.
	Oh, really?
	And didn't want anything to do with him after that.
	He got in huge trouble for it.
	But he was actually complimenting Jews as a group there, where he's saying, well, no, they're, as a group, financially smart with their money, that's why they do well, and we as blacks Americans aren't, and that's why our group does badly.
	There's a difference between cultural behaviours.
	Yeah, this was obviously his argument, but, you know, those two people should get together and have a chat.
	That's all I've got in my mind.
	It's really weird.
	Seth Rogen and him.
	Oh, boy.
	We'll leave that there.
	I'm sure people have their own views.
	So, hello to the viewers.
	I had this nice white post show up on my front door today.
	This post right here, I normally don't pay attention to it.
	It's just a show of Chinese culture.
	But they did add this to it though.
	So, it's very nice to see that maybe they can start pushing the narrative of bringing West Taiwan, their rebellious West Taiwan, to heel.
	What are your thoughts?
	I have seen there are various little cultural groups that try and promote Chinese culture before the commies ruined everything.
	It seemed like it had a really cool culture.
	It's not our fight because we're not them, but it's wholesome to see and how can you not love them and support them for it?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	They should take down West Taiwan.
	Certainly should.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hello, gentlemen.
	I just wanted to discuss a couple of bills up for January 5th legislative session in the state of New York.
	Number one, forced COVID shot mandates to attend school.
	The following one eliminates religious exemptions for work and college.
	The following one eliminates parents' consent to shots when a child reaches 14 years of age.
	The next one eliminates parents' right to consent for STD shots of any age.
	The following allows the governor to imprison without trial anyone she considers a threat to public health.
	And the last one eliminates unvaccinated people's access to health insurance.
	Shit gets fucking crazy out here.
	Like New York for you, isn't it?
	Yeah, that sounds messed up.
	Next time, slow down a little bit when you're reading it out.
	I assume he's trying to keep it within 30 seconds, and I do appreciate that, but it's probably better to try and cut down on the information.
	But, yeah, I don't really know what to say.
	It's New York, which apparently is a...
	A hellhole.
	A blue hellhole.
	There was a really cool, interesting video from Johnny Harris recently in which he took a look with the New York Times at the communities that are most blue, as in parts of California and New York, that the mayor's a Democrat, all of the city council are Democrats, senators are Democrats, governors are Democrats, everyone, right?
	I'm going to guess they've got pretty bad crime issues.
	Well, it wasn't that.
	It was more like, okay, in the manifesto they said they're going to do this, this, this.
	So what do they actually do when they have all the power?
	When there's no Republicans in their way blocking them from doing their stuff, what do they do?
	And he took an example of affordable housing.
	So this is like build loads of tower blocks with loads of flats and then it's all affordable, right?
	Yep.
	And at the local level, whenever a Democratic area is given that option, they always say no because they're incredibly conservative about the things most close to them.
	Oh, that's the Robert Conquest's rule right there.
	I know, but it's a neat example to look at.
	And Johnny Harris, being a sort of, like, left-leaning Democrat, he wanted to make a video being like, well, that's why we should be more radical.
	And it was like, no, you moron, you just proved why the Conservatives are right on this issue.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, if you wanted to get into the economics of it as well, the affordable housing never really works for a number of other reasons, but...
	If you want to make the price of housing more stable, you lower immigration, and you build more houses in a reasonable manner.
	The solution they had, which was let's build a huge block of flats in this town where everything's two stories tall.
	We have that in Swindon, and it's hideous.
	Yes, it looks awful.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan with another Legend of the Pines from Haunted Ocean County.
	It's the story of Georgian Court University.
	The campus used to be the home of robber baron Jay Gould and his wife Edith.
	But Jay had a wandering eye and had many mistresses apparently.
	His wife used to take solace in her rose garden which is now a large dorm.
	But they say you can still see the ghost of Edith wandering the campus with her broken heart and the smell of roses in the air.
	I like the idea she's got a little rose in her hand that's sad and falling down as well.
	Anyway, thanks for that.
	Hello, guys.
	Long time no see, even though I'm at sea.
	First of all, TF, I'm sorry about the seniority of your ass coming in October when I was going home and getting drunk.
	Also, I recommend everybody check out Joe Rogan's episode 1747 with Dr.
	Peter McCullough.
	That's the mind-blowing stuff about everything about this pandemic.
	Have a good day.
	I'm going to have to listen to this now when I'm on the way home or something, if it's still on Spotify.
	I mean, if not, there'll be an archive somewhere of it.
	I did listen to a fair few clips, I just wasn't impressed with them.
	But maybe I'm wrong.
	I imagine it probably builds more of a narrative through the whole thing if you listen to it in context.
	Sure, but it was specific things.
	Yeah, if it's specific claims.
	He was trying to make out that basically everything was planned, in a sense, so this whole thing is manufactured from the ground up.
	And I'm like, nah, that's usually not how these things work.
	He didn't convince me that that's the place.
	It's far more people taking advantage of the situation than planning the leak and all the rest of it.
	I always tend to lean on the side of don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
	Or just...
	Ambition as well.
	Yeah.
	Self-serving interests and whatnot.
	Well, let's move on to the written comments.
	I'll just read out some of mine.
	George Windsor said, CNN had to fire Cuomo.
	They're going to need to cut costs for the Rittenhouse payout.
	I mean...
	Wouldn't be surprised.
	It would be nice, because if no one's watching, and they're bleeding money left, right, and center, they might actually die.
	Yeah, and then maybe...
	We should buy the brand name.
	Hello, and welcome to the CNN podcast...
	Hosted by me and Callum.
	Yeah, we got Carl Rittenhouse in.
	How you doing, buddy?
	Oh, that'd be amazing.
	Sorry about everything they used to say about you, man.
	Jimbo G, low-hanging fruit but Christ, child noncing network, allegedly.
	Yeah, makes sense.
	Baron Von Warhawk, although I enjoy watching CNN fail, I don't think they will ever shut down like Hillary's CNN is an influshable turd.
	No matter how much money they lose, people like Soros, Pelosi and the Clintons will continue funneling money into it because they don't want to lose their propaganda channel.
	To quote the Joker, it's not about the money, it's about the message.
	P.S. Now that Cuomo's gotten the boot, I wonder what all those Cuomo-sexuals like Trevor Noah are doing right now.
	Coping.
	I see your point, and yeah, the brand name is incredibly powerful, so they won't want to let go of it if they can.
	At the same time, I think that if it gets that much bad press against it and becomes that devalued as a brand...
	If the non-stuff turns out to be real, frankly.
	Yeah, they could switch over their funding to a channel like MSNBC. I've always thought, why don't they do that?
	Yeah, I mean, they're more...
	Overly progressive.
	But then again, maybe it's that CNN present themselves as objective and they want more of a Trojan horse.
	Sure, but it's not like they don't have CBS or whatever else.
	It's just that you always see Fox News at the top, then MSNBC and CNN always competing for essentially the same audience.
	So you're kind of shooting yourselves in the foot, but whatever.
	Don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
	Maybe it is that MSNBC is more openly and overtly partisan.
	Whereas with CNN, it's still very obvious, but they try and say that they're objective.
	Anyway, Robert Miller says, CNN is crashing and burning.
	Alex was right, again!
	Good man.
	Rob Tao says, I don't think it's fair to paint CNN as a bunch of pedos because of one pedo producer.
	That's why Project Veritas revealed another one yesterday evening.
	Yeah, I mean, it seems like they're just coming rolling out with them, so see how it carries on.
	Once again, allegedly, but if they are, I would not be surprised.
	Yeah, but then with Cuomo being a guy who backed up his brother and tried to advise him on sexual harassment charges.
	And has his own sexual harassment charges coming up.
	Yeah, I mean, it's not even so much about them all being a bunch of nonsense.
	It's more about the fact that all of these people are the kind of scummiest people, by the sounds of it.
	And they're giving thousands of people their news every day.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I don't know if you'd find a couple of kidnappers in there as well.
	I mean, of the worst crimes, you could think.
	I mean, we're getting all of them.
	I mean, technically, the original guy, that John Griffin, has child trafficking across state lines, so right there.
	Omar Awad says, when 99% of CNN's views were from Trump hate, it feels like they kind of kicked themselves in the teeth by stopping his second term.
	Trump curse wins again.
	That's right, you can never stop Trump.
	He'll get you eventually.
	Actually, that's...
	Because if it dies before the next election, Trump can take, like, the trophy and be like, I killed CNN. He can take credit for it.
	The man who killed CNN. Vote for him.
	You have more?
	No, your search.
	Omar Awad again.
	Calling DeSantis Florida man makes it sound like he's going to take on the entire deep state in a drunken meth-filled rampage.
	As is his freedom to do so.
	His right is a God-given free American.
	I don't care how he does it, but if he can fix America and rid it of wokeness, the entertaining headlines are just an amazing bonus.
	Well, yeah, but his solution is eminently reasonable and even liberal, which is just that, no, we have workers' rights in this country.
	You can't abuse them.
	You can't abuse them on their racial basis either.
	We made that illegal during the civil rights era.
	And also, you can't do it to kids.
	What's wrong with you?
	For the love of God, guys.
	Yeah, I mean, it's on all three counts there.
	I really love that he brought up the workers' rights point, though, and no one ever really does, because, quite frankly, it is the most depressing part, and probably where most of the money comes from as well.
	Like you said, it's one thing we hear about a lot when people send us emails, and people feel like they're under hostage from their own jobs.
	I get that kiddos is a special case because they're defenceless, and also...
	Brainwashing from a very young age.
	Yeah, but it also tugs at your heartstrings a little bit, which I imagine is somewhat focused.
	But, you know, when you meet people who have to go through this crap, or even the chads who join the committee so they could subvert them that we met at the live event, you shouldn't have to.
	You should be out selling things and making money.
	Yeah, that's what a business is set up for.
	Yeah.
	I'll read one more on this, and then we'll have one from yours, and we'll end it there, because we're out of time.
	So, George Happ says, a based Florida man may be the guy to fight the lizard people in the deep state.
	At least the headline will be glorious.
	It certainly will.
	I want a comic book of that.
	Yeah, so let's go to COVID gaslighting.
	Henry Ashman says, without getting too flippant about it, the number of people that died with Omicron worldwide is currently the same as the number of people killed by Alec Baldwin.
	There really needs to be a sense of proportion with all this.
	Yes, they are currently tied, but with Omicron, once again, is a loaded term, as we've probably discussed before.
	With Omicron does not mean of Omicron.
	Yes.
	Boris Johnson shoving the pillow over the chap's face, as I mentioned.
	Yes.
