	Hello and welcome to the podcast of Hello to see this for you.
	Sorry, we were joking about fatness before we went on.
	There's going to be a good segment in the middle of the podcast.
	You want to stick around for it.
	Yeah, so 4th of January 2021, joined by Carl.
	Hello.
	Today we're going to be talking about the bad man getting his car firebombed.
	That'll be Romlin Tomlinson, whatever his name is these days.
	COVID is racist against fat people and de-platform white parents.
	That is the new mantra of BuzzFeed.
	Which I shouldn't really be surprised about, but at least they just come out and say it finally, that white parents are their enemy.
	Some things to mention first on the website.
	Just imagine white parents and the enemies.
	How did you get to that position?
	But I guess we'll find out.
	Intersectionality, yeah.
	So some things to mention first on the website.
	First one being here.
	IQ in the aggressive left.
	This is from John Tangney, and there is an audio track for silver and gold tier members.
	You have to subscribe to get access to this on bronze.
	And, yeah, I assume it's not as spicy as IQ and race, but...
	No, no, no, it's not.
	It's an older article that's been given an audio track, because we're going back and giving the old ones audio tracks.
	I can't remember exactly the point he was making with this, though.
	It's been a while since I've read it.
	You'll have to go back and listen, won't you?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will.
	Moving on.
	So let's go to the next one, which is How We Are Failing Our Children from Luna Salinas.
	I always butcher these names.
	Salinas?
	Luna?
	Luna published this.
	So check that one out.
	I believe that's free as well.
	So you'll have to subscribe for that one.
	And then the last article to mention being A War With Russia from John Tangney again.
	And this one also being free, which you can go check out.
	There was an interesting point here that I never really thought about, because there's the argument that the Russian Federation gets along better with Republican presidents, and the reasons for this being that they're not autistic about the whole situation.
	It's like, what can we get done and actually agree on and just move on with our lives, instead of just screeching each other about the Cold War?
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, go and check that out.
	That one's free as well.
	Pragmatic compromise.
	Yes.
	And then the last thing to mention being getter.com, of course.
	So, lotuseaters underscore com being the ad there to follow us on Getter.
	I can't even notice that we're nearly at 40,000 followers.
	Getter.
	That's very good.
	Yeah.
	I actually found out...
	I don't know why I didn't know this sooner, but apparently Getter means get together.
	Oh yeah.
	In my head it'd always just been get her done for some reason.
	Yeah, I had no idea either.
	Yeah, well there we are.
	Good to know.
	Last thing to mention as well, if you're sending in video comments, please do not include copyright material because we can't buy it.
	I've been asked to say about the editor because a number of people have done that again.
	So, don't do that.
	Let's get into the stories.
	So...
	Romy Tomlinson, as I think I am forced at gunpoint to say.
	By the algorithm, yeah.
	Yes, the real name being a band name, at least on Facebook, for sure.
	So, don't know what I'm going to do except try and call him Romy Tomlinson.
	Well, his car got firebombed the other night, and as we can see here, I'm not...
	Exactly sure when it got firebombed.
	I've seen the reportings are yesterday or something like that.
	But as you can see from his Getter account here, he posts a story saying, what a difference a few hours make, an amazing coincidence.
	Two cars randomly combust in Telford, and neither are linked.
	And you have the Shropshire Star here reporting- It's a very Swedish problem, this, isn't it?
	Yeah, it's just a person behind the crime.
	So the first story being that two cars were set on fire, not to be linked, and then the shoppers are having to update themselves and say, actually, they are.
	And the police say they are.
	It's just all these grenade attacks.
	No idea where that's coming from.
	And if we go to the next link, you have Cassandra Fairbanks reporting on here, his car was firebombed after releasing his documentary trailer on grooming gangs in Telford.
	The Rape of Britain, the Telford edition.
	Yeah.
	So, if we go to the next links of the Gateway Pundit, being literally the only source I can find reporting on this from, like, mainstream press.
	Yeah, apart from the Shropshire Star.
	Although they didn't mention it was his.
	They were just like, car burns.
	Man's car set on fire by other person.
	I can't remember if they said other persons.
	Yeah, good point.
	Spontaneously combust.
	Anyway, so British journalist and free speech activist, Romy Tomlinson, a car was set on fire on Sunday, one day after he released his trailer for his upcoming documentary exposing Muslim grooming gangs.
	Tomlinson's new documentary, The Rape of Britain, will expose the names and faces of those involved with the gangs of migrants raping young British girls in Telford and other towns.
	So this is his accusations that he's bringing forward and will be making his delight in Telford.
	And we'll get the date when everyone can come down in a minute.
	So, speaking to the Gateway Pundit on Monday, Romlinson explains that he was on his way to the police station where he would be live-streaming about what had happened.
	Quote, He said.
	I like his gusto.
	I always do.
	Robinson said that there has been several arson attacks, at least one of which was against a survivor that he knows of in Telford in the last week.
	At least two of them were also arson attacks on vehicles.
	Just random arson attacks all taking place in Telford.
	For no reason at all.
	And connected, except that it's all involved with, well, this documentary.
	And it just seems to happen to be occurring right now for some reason.
	If we go to the next link, we can also see his getter posts updating us on the situation on the ground.
	So he's been there for weeks upon weeks, and he's done loads of, as you can see in the promos, undercover footage, and just recording them, tracking their cars, finding out where people are going.
	All the kind of investigative journalism stuff you would expect from an investigative journalist.
	And, well, a hell of a lot more than 99% of journalists in existence.
	Well, it's the kind of thing that journalists used to do for political correctness.
	I mean, high-quality stuff.
	But, of course, he's doing lots of interviews with people who are saying they are survivors of this situation and are naming their accusers, and he's collected all of it, handed it on to the police to some extent, and then the police are refusing to cooperate because...
	At least at the police.
	Yeah.
	And we have the response here, breaking.
	I was like, oh, I actually...
	This video you've got up, I actually watched this.
	So this woman and her husband were just walking their dog, and there was a gang of like 10 or 12 apparently Muslim men who'd gathered, who are armed, and they had attacked them for just walking past, on the assumption that they were somehow connected to Mr.
	Tomlinson.
	Because he's about...
	Just any white woman, I suppose, is a fair game to be attacked.
	And her husband.
	So it appears to be a racist attack.
	It would be an anti-white hate crime if the police would do their jobs and lug such things.
	And as you can see, he mentions about what's happening, and then him saying that this is the police's fault for not willing to protect.
	Apparently they hit her head with a bat.
	Yeah, I mean, you can see the car there, the damage.
	Yeah, smashed up the car.
	Just perfectly normal things.
	Because they're white.
	Cars being set on fire, cars being smashed up, you know.
	Specifically because they're English, I guess.
	Anyway.
	If we go to the next link, you can see apparently there is blood on the car as well, so from whoever did it, they have DNA evidence of the perpetrator, which is good.
	I'm sure the police will take due care and attention.
	Oh yeah, I'm sure they're going to be all over this.
	If we go to the next link, we can see his conversations with the police.
	So, he says here, So, him...
	He put out a call saying, if there are any lads nearby, please come to Telford.
	I need help.
	And then got a bunch of lads to just protect several witnesses as he relocates them to another location.
	Good for them.
	They're on speed.
	I mean, just doing the police's job.
	Because the police haven't for years.
	You know why the police don't want to get involved with this?
	Because this is political.
	It's the bad man.
	Well, it's not just the bad man, but the whole situation is a political situation.
	And anything the police do, they're going to get accused of X, Y, or Z-isms, and they don't want to have a part of that.
	They'd rather just not do it.
	They'd rather continue the situation.
	Telford police are an absolute disgrace.
	They couldn't give an S about the family living in fear after grooming gang members smashed up their home to intimidate them into silence.
	We've protected their home, we've moved them out of that house, and we've removed them from danger.
	The police couldn't be bothered.
	No wonder Telford is in the mess that it is.
	Meh.
	I mean, we are familiar with the story, me and John, because I remember we covered in detail, and you may remember as well, there was a documentary which we covered, of the family that were killed there in Telford.
	This is not just a story of victims or survivors.
	Oh, was this where a house was on fire?
	Yeah, so there was one girl who was groomed years ago and the perpetrator got her pregnant and then went round and set fire to her house with his, you know, the baby had been born.
	The mother, so the survivor in this case, threw the baby out of the window and she and the rest of the family perished in the fire.
	He was done for the fire but not for the grooming.
	has grown up to full age and is now making documentaries about how all this happened and no one made any inroads into the grooming here.
	Even though it was like, well this girl's underage and she's pregnant with your child and you're a 30 year old man.
	British things.
	Just an absolute mess.
	I mean, Telford really is one of those towns or cities throughout this country that has a really horrid history on this.
	Oh, it's been totally left to the wolves, isn't it?
	If we go to the next link, you can see, I believe this is the second promo he's produced here, so you may remember he would He produced the first promo, which has something like 200,000 views now, and then this one with almost 90,000 views there on Get Her Alone.
	Good.
	I mean, it's nice to see that if you make these accusations, you can get traction again, which you can't on mainstream social media, especially the bad man, because he's banned.
	Well, he's banned from all, yeah.
	And he mentions in here that Saturday, 29th of January, 2pm, he will be live-streaming the documentary in full in Telford, so everyone can just come and see it for free.
	Oh, on his big bus.
	Yeah, the big battle bus.
	Yeah, excellent.
	Presumably.
	For anyone who doesn't know, he's got a bus with a giant screen on the side of it.
	Which is really useful.
	Yeah, it's awesome.
	I remember, I mean, last time I spoke to him, so he did the Russian speech, the Ring of Britain, which I also recommend people go and watch.
	And so after that, his plan was basically to go town to town and just expose in the specific towns the problems that specific town has.
	And presumably this is the start of many he will be doing.
	And, well, just this one has already caused enough You know, fuss for them to come after him and his car, apparently.
	Because the next link, you would think this is a huge story.
	I mean, his name was trending all night on every social media.
	Everyone was paying attention to this.
	This is the only story I found on my news tab of British media reporting on this, which is that they didn't.
	Even in here, the only reference to Romlin Tomlinson is that the town spawns such world-class denizens as him.
	And in the story about Luton being rated the worst place to live in England.
	Nothing else.
	Not the Times, not the Guardian.
	Nada.
	I couldn't find any.
	It's called the Conspiracy of Silence.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I saw the Guardian.
	You want to know what some of the front page stories they had?
	Some rare flowers have been found in Yorkshire.
	Oh, wow.
	Yes.
	I mean, that is important.
	I mean, anti-Islam activists get cars set on fire.
	Not as important as the rare flowers of Yorkshire, I'm sure.
	Is that news?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	That's the question.
	It's not the kind of news they want to report on.
	And if we go to the next link, we can see that they didn't have any excuse because they all live on Twitter.
	And as you can see in making the point here, well, Arrest and his name were trending on Twitter.
	So, not like they didn't see.
	They all just had an excuse not to.
	So I thought I'd check out on Twitter and see what are the highest rated posts with his name attached.
	If we go to the next one, we can see David here, who's fairly supportive of the idea of getting rid of grooming gangs.
	As you see, saying, If you're not aware, Romlan Tomlinson's car was firebombed last night.
	It's viewed this as intimidation to stop him showing his film on Pakistani heritage grooming gangs.
	One of the victims had their home attacked and car torched.
	Where is the police?
	Hmm.
	This was the most highly rated tweet about the situation.
	If we go to the next one, we get a left-wing example.
	The most highly rated left-wing example of the response to his car being firebombed.
	Romlan Tomlinson has never been motivated by helping rape victims.
	Good.
	Yeah, it's mind-reading.
	That's what this is.
	We're going to plumb his motivations with our magic left-wing mind-reading abilities.
	Let me gaze into the orb of Ronnie Tomlinson's mind, as Seb Brownlow clearly can.
	He callously exploits them to pursue his campaign of preaching hate against Muslims and stigmatizing a community for the crimes of a few.
	At least he knows the composition of the grooming gangs.
	I mean, no one else mentioned that composition.
	We went with Asian heritage, as David said.
	Oh boy, Seb, that's very Islamophobic if you'd bring Muslims into this.
	Could have been Christian, Asians.
	If you support him, you're ignorant and a racist.
	It's that simple.
	Oh god, it's 2022 and someone's called me a racist.
	What will we do?
	Oh, shut it down, boys, you know?
	Even if we...
	Okay, we'll even...
	Just imagine being like, yeah, so, that's that done.
	That's the end of my day.
	Yeah, Seb walks off.
	Are we worried about the rape victims, Seb?
	You know, the children who are being raped?
	No, because that would be racist.
	I know it's completely undue because it's so just obviously partisan, but even if we steeled man Seb's position here and said that this journalist is actually a cold-hearted, evil individual who just wants a story, nothing else...
	That's still not bad.
	If you go to an area where there's a huge amount of corruption and crimes and expose the corruption and crimes for publicity, even if you say he has, you know, a heart of stone that doesn't care about the rape victims, that's not bad.
	That's good.
	That's a good thing.
	That's a public service because no one else is doing it.
	Yeah, I mean, it's not like, oh, stigmatizing a community for the crimes of the few.
	Well, I mean, it is in every Muslim community and the police are doing nothing about it.
	So now what?
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	So do we just ignore those rape victims?
	Are you not much of a feminist, Seb?
	Well, we call them racist, as Seb did.
	And the problem's gone.
	Yeah.
	If you don't see it, it's not happening.
	That's the solution.
	That's a good point.
	Well, it has been the solution of the British police force for decades.
	That has.
	Or if we just recategorise them as to be making informed life choices at 13 years old, sleeping with 30-year-old men.
	I still feel good over how that's a thing.
	Because for me, the Blair era is a bit young for me.
	And I go back and read some of the documents or some of the speeches and people refer to the girls as child prostitutes.
	Yes.
	There's no such thing as a child prostitute.
	It's like rich peasant.
	Well, some peasants actually were rich, but like...
	But like you're still a peasant, you know?
	Compared to what?
	And it's like child prostitute.
	No, a child cannot be a prostitute.
	Yeah, that's a rape victim.
	Anyway.
	So let's move on.
	Let's go to the next link here, which is him updating, of course, why we're not naming his name and cannot name his name by threat of being shot in the head, presumably, at least digitally.
	Facebook has some community standards.
	Those community standards, as you can see from this image, are that you can mention the name of the bad man, the evil bad man, but you cannot say anything positive about him.
	He has to be always condemned.
	Like ISIS. If you say that ISIS good, you're gone.
	And if you say ISIS bad, you're allowed to stay up.
	So investigative journalists, you're only allowed to say he is bad.
	And this is an example here of someone who has been unable to go live or advertise for 30 days because they dare to say that Quote, he has the balls to stand up for what's right.
	Well, Facebook doesn't want you standing up for what's right.
	No, that's not Facebook.
	I am okay to say that ISIS exists on Facebook.
	I hope, John.
	I can see John.
	Oh, apparently you can say ISIS is good on Facebook.
	I'm sure that's not true.
	To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised.
	Do you remember we did that interview with Ryan Hartwig and he showed us the documents of what you're allowed to say?
	You're allowed to deny the Holodomor, for example.
	That's fine.
	Stalin didn't do nothing.
	It was not a left-wing bugbear, is it?
	They don't care about that.
	That was a specific exemption.
	That's a specific exemption?
	Yeah, yeah.
	yeah like in the documents the moderators are given they're like no this one's specifically allowed what about the armenian genocide i don't know about that depends on what the young turks are saying about it yeah so let's go to the next link because there's also the story of marjorie taylor green also getting banned from twitter of course that is much ado about the getter explosion and she has also been censored on facebook apparently Why?
	Has she said something?
	I don't even know.
	She could have said nothing.
	And we know the outcome of this, which is that Twitter and Facebook are the same entity when it comes to censorship.
	And as she points out, well, okay, I represent hundreds of thousands of Americans, but F me, I guess.
	I'm only an elected representative.
	Who's she to get to speak?
	Why should she have any ability to speak to her representatives?
	Nah.
	Constituents.
	Sorry, constituents.
	She should only be able to, what, write down physical letters?
	Like, if you're a Republican, you're not allowed to send emails anymore.
	I mean, why not?
	I saw a post by Rand Paul earlier saying that he's not going to be posting his videos to YouTube anymore and just posting them to Rumble because they took down Dr.
	Malone's clips from Joe Rogan.
	I think a bunch of his stuff has also been taken down.
	Quite possibly, yeah, because he's been giving Fauci a hard time.
	Yeah.
	And I thought we'd end this on the last update on this, which sort of happened before we went live, which is apparently that the situation on the ground is, of course, getting even worse.
	So, this is a friend of Robin Tomlinson here saying, over the past 24 hours, three separate notice of threat to personal safety have been issued by the Mercia police to families in Telford.
	The police have called in CID, but it's clear that they are losing control of the situation.
	Groomers and their associates are raining terror on the streets.
	God damn it.
	Not worth a Guardian article.
	Not worth a Times article, apparently.
	Yeah, where's the Daily Mail on this?
	I mean, what do you want to call it?
	Green Terror?
	Green Terror?
	Allahu Akbar.
	Oh, yeah, good point.
	Okay, yeah.
	Well, the Green situation in Telford seems to be getting worse.
	Yeah.
	I mean, literally.
	Notice of threat to personal safety to families in Telford.
	You're not safe in this town.
	Said by the police.
	I mean, if there's literally, like, terrorists running around the streets threatening families in the city or the town.
	Firebobbing cars.
	Firebobbing cars.
	I mean, maybe a curfew would be something the police would do?
	At least a story?
	Like, I would at least have expected any of the British press to perk up and think, hang on, why is there, like, you know, a terrorist group running Telford right now?
	Does the government have anything to say about this?
	Like, the Conservatives got any comment at all?
	Yeah, and it doesn't matter what you think of the bad man.
	You can think he's a bad man, and he's got a heart of stone, as Seb does, for example.
	That's not important, really.
	What's important is the crime that's going on, and the ignoring of that is a sin.
	I don't know what else to say.
	This is terrible.
	Yeah, it's our country.
	It's just where we live.
	Let's go to the next story.
	Difficult to get...
	There's a bit of a change of pace from that one.
	Wait a minute.
	Yeah.
	So tell me about the fatties.
	Okay.
	So COVID has set the destruction, the total destruction, set the stage for the total destruction of the body positive movement, which is great, because I hate the body positive movement.
	So this is fat shows for being fat.
	Yeah.
	So you might remember, like, go back a year or so ago, Such as this article in NBC News in April 2020.
	How dare you post diet memes about COVID? Because it came out that, of course, overweight people were suffering more from the coronavirus than people who weren't overweight.
	And so you get progressive think pieces like this.
	COVID-19 diet memes aren't funny and coronavirus fat shaming hurts everyone.
	Does it?
	You know when someone says X joke isn't funny?
	Yeah.
	It's always funny.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And then they're like, well, explain to me how it's funny.
	It's like, yeah, but if I do that, it won't be funny, so I'm not going to.
	Diet culture is so ingrained in how we view ourselves and others that even when we're alone with no one to impress, we're measuring our bodies.
	Coronavirus doesn't care if you're alone.
	As we attempt to cope with this new normal, sharing fatphobic memes that do nothing more than highlight how diet culture has permeated every facet of our society is in dangerously poor taste.
	Got a top hat?
	Got your monocle?
	Some poor taste share that fat meme.
	Claire Misko, the CEO of National Eating Disorders Association, said, Weight gain memes and comments are damaging to all of us, and particularly to people who are personally affected by eating disorders.
	This is a period of heightened anxiety when our community is working to find new ways of staying connected.
	Our community?
	Our community.
	The community of fat people.
	The facts, yeah.
	The race of fatos.
	Well, yes, the fat race is under attack from COVID memes.
	This is why I like the term fatphobic there, because you remember, I think it was Christopher Hitchens' point, that the term Islamophobia was always used as an accusation of racial hatred.
	Yes.
	Again, here, it's just the fat race is under attack.
	Well, when they say community, they mean race, because they'll say the black community, but that means everyone who is black.
	So you may as well say the black race.
	So the term community is just a kind of soft, modern way of saying race.
	The Islam race and the fat race are also under attack.
	Yes.
	It just means every single member.
	Anyway, negative body talk and weight gain jokes have long been default modes of commiseration in our culture.
	But in fact, these messages don't bring us close together.
	They stoke fear.
	They keep us from exploring health from a holistic perspective.
	And they are outright harmful.
	Fat is standing there.
	Mia O'Malley, a plus size activist, has come across many fat phobic memes.
	I hate that term.
	Plus size.
	I know.
	And more people are staying at home.
	It's particularly hurtful, hurt by those accompanying images.
	She says, I think the visuals are most harmful.
	Same here.
	There's somebody whose body looks like mine, and you're stating that a body like mine is the worst possible scenario.
	It's so old-fashioned, she explains.
	It's so ingrained in a patriarchal society to be like, keep me away from those donuts.
	It's misogynistic and fatphobic.
	How's it misogynistic also?
	Fat men don't eat donuts?
	What are we talking about?
	People think it's okay to hate themselves for gaining weight.
	They think it doesn't affect people around them, but it does.
	And this lingering misogyny and fatphobia has real consequences.
	Just ask Bethany C. Myers, the founder of the Become Project, a body-neutral fitness site.
	She says, I've been so anxious that my stomach is tight and it's harder to eat right now.
	I'm trying not to slip into past behaviours of starvation.
	I've had to do a lot of self-talk about food, and childhood cravings seem to be coming at me hard.
	These people are mad, right?
	But CNN is, of course, on board with this because, you know, you find lots of pro-body positivity stuff on CNN. This is just this one example where I published this article a little while ago talking about how a body positivity website created a Don't Weigh Me series of cards for patients who find it stressful to be weighed The doctors.
	Is this like a warning that they'll break the machine?
	No, it's one of those, it's like a blood organ donor card.
	Except it says don't weigh me because I'm embarrassed because I'm fat.
	My religious beliefs.
	Yes.
	I'm massive.
	And I don't need to know how much I weigh.
	We know how much you weigh.
	Yeah.
	Too much.
	Yeah.
	And so this is the sort of context into which the New York Times has stepped in and said, actually, fatty, coronavirus has something to say about all this.
	Okay.
	It's quite an aggressive attack on fat people.
	So, published this article, coronavirus attacks fat tissue, scientists find.
	Because scientists are also racist against fat people.
	Are we going to get to the point of being like, the coronavirus is fatphobic?
	Cancel the coronavirus?
	Yeah.
	Maybe.
	Okay.
	The research may help explain why people who are overweight and obese have been at higher risk of severe illness and death from COVID. Do you really need research?
	No, but when you come from the paradigm that there is literally no difference between a thin person and a fat person, then I guess a bit of science might help out.
	So they say from the start of the pandemic, the coronavirus seemed to target people carrying extra pounds.
	Oh no, you can't say that.
	Patients who are overweight or obese were more likely to develop severe COVID-19 and more likely to die.
	though these patients often have health conditions like diabetes that compound their risk scientists have become increasingly convinced their vulnerability has something to do with obesity itself my god This is the most un-progressive thing I've ever heard.
	The very nature of you being fat makes you vulnerable to coronavirus.
	This reminds me, I mentioned the other day, you know, Andrew Clavin said that he was so sick of the right.
	He's like, I'm so sick of you right-wingers.
	And he's surrounded by the Daily Wire guys.
	They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's all this about?
	And he says, look, you guys get all excited and start banging the table saying, base, when someone says a woman is a woman.
	And this is what this feels like to me, where progressive politics has got to the point that even pointing out that being obese bad is something that's like, oh no, shock.
	But the only reason they can say this is because coronavirus also bad.
	So the coronavirus narrative is directly attacking the body positivity narrative.
	I suppose our precious fat people.
	We can't weigh them, but we can take care of them.
	Anyway, so the researchers have found that coronavirus infects both fat cells and certain immune cells within body fat, prompting a damaging defensive response in the body.
	The bottom line is, oh my god, indeed, the virus can infect fat cells directly.
	So Dr.
	Philip Schrerer, a scientist who studies fat cells at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
	Imagine your job being studying fat cells.
	At every party, that's going to get boiled down to you.
	Look at fat people all day, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	How's the fat today, Dr.
	Schreier?
	Well, you know.
	But whatever happens in fat doesn't stay in fat, he added.
	It affects the neighbouring tissues as well.
	So if these findings hold up, they may shed light on not just why patients with excess pounds are vulnerable to the virus, but also on why certain young adults with no other risks become so ill.
	Again, we know all of this.
	Young people with no such other risks.
	You mean fat young people?
	Yeah.
	Why do we have this weird language where you just can't say the fatsoes?
	Do you remember the articles that go around?
	It's like, perfectly healthy young person arrived in hospital, and it's this literal whale who's on the mask.
	It's like, yeah, perfectly healthy young person.
	I think there was an ITV one like that, where it was this person with no other health conditions.
	Yeah.
	And just, I mean, come on.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But it's nice that the official narrative is coming back around to something that's not crazy.
	So they say, an ideal man whose weight is 170 pounds but weighs 250 pounds is carrying substantial amounts of fat in which the virus may hang out, replicate and trigger a destructive immune system response.
	If you are really very obese, fat is the single biggest organ in your body.
	Interesting.
	Anyway, so that put fat activists on suicide watch because CNN decided, well, we've kind of got to admit that that's the case.
	We'll go to the next article.
	Lose weight to save the NHS. Yeah.
	Literally, can weight loss help protect against COVID-19?
	What do you mean can?
	What's the question mark?
	But just imagine taking this as a fat activist.
	CNN have turned on us.
	The New York Times have turned on us.
	All of those years of demanding that just, you know, fatphobia is a social construct.
	Kelvin Klein onto a sidewatch too.
	Exactly.
	What I love about this is they're directly connecting being fat as a biological trait to consequences from that, as in this is completely off the grid for the progressive narrative.
	They have to live with this.
	It is a physical part of you.
	Your fat, if you're morbidly obese, is your single biggest organ, and the coronavirus lives in it and will kill you in it.
	It's a really tough way of putting it, isn't it?
	Tough!
	Tough but true.
	I was going to swear that, but I'm not going to.
	And so, yeah.
	So CNN is just like, people who are overweight or obese are at much higher risk of more severe disease and even death from coronavirus, one study says.
	And Losing that weight can reduce the risk.
	We actually have a live picture of the fat acceptance movement as a response.
	Returning to the article...
	Is that food on his face?
	Of course it is.
	After I lost some weight, I feel much better about these fat jokes.
	LAUGHTER The obesity epidemic has been a threat to Americans' health for years.
	The second leading cause of preventable death after smoking.
	With COVID-19, it becomes even more dangerous.
	One study found that 30% of COVID-19 hospitalisations were in people with obesity.
	And the obesity clinic where Dr.
	Fatima Cody Stanford...
	Her name's Dr.
	Fatima.
	Yeah.
	What a coincidence.
	Me magic at work.
	Works in Boston has a thousand plus person waiting lists that grew a lot longer with the pandemic.
	Even with more than a dozen specialists and staffers, it's not enough to meet the demand.
	She says, we were overwhelmed with the volume of patients that really made that connection between obesity and COVID and the need for them to get appropriate care.
	I'm imagining Fatima over here, like, watching patients come through the hospital on the beds, you know, on ventilators or whatever, and just be like, you know, there's something about all these.
	Can we get a fat scientist in studying this?
	I imagine that Fatima's not overweight as well.
	I didn't look her up, I should have known.
	But yeah, people with obesity are 46% more likely at risk of getting COVID-19, according to a study from August.
	It found that there are also more risk of getting really sick, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
	And dozens of studies have shown similar results.
	So if we carry down the article, you get the headline, does losing weight reduce COVID-19 risk?
	Can we just look for a minute in the fact that someone in an article actually had to write and look up studies for why being fat is bad and not just state it as a categorical truth and move on?
	Well, science completely endorses that perspective.
	You may as well use it if it's there.
	I don't know why you have to convince people.
	You know there's a 40% higher chance of heart disease.
	You don't have to tell people.
	People know.
	You've literally got stacks of studies and constant repetition of these studies saying, look, being obese is really bad for you.
	But there are Twitter activists who say the opposite.
	So, you know, who are you going to believe?
	But anyway, they get to the point, does losing weight reduce COVID-19 risk?
	Which you can just hear the overweight screeching in the background.
	Yeah, with a question mark.
	I know, as if this is in question, right?
	There's no question, in controlled trials with people who are obese and have heart failure, that if they go through a weight reduction or an exercise program or combination, and we look at this marker of how they're doing, the answers to that are yes, there is evidence that weight loss is a good thing.
	Oh, praise the Lord.
	Did they have to use a picture of Christy?
	I don't know.
	Yes.
	Just in the bottom there.
	No, that's actually a related article, but it's strangely appropriate.
	Can we go down a little bit, John?
	Has he lost weight?
	I just think the rumour about him being bigger.
	No.
	Chris Christie speaks out about the relentless attacks on his weight.
	I think he's made it tougher.
	Made me tougher.
	Well, CNN, doing no job.
	Anyway, so why is obesity a threat?
	If we scroll down a bit more to the next headline.
	Obesity is a problem with COVID-19 for a variety of biological reasons.
	Oh, no.
	Biological truths.
	The entire narrative about progressivism is destroyed by CNN right here.
	Fat cells are living cells, and as soon as you start to accumulate them, they're essentially impacting your immune system negatively, says one scientist.
	It's like when you're lying down and breathing.
	If I sat on top of your chest and tried to breathe, it's much harder to catch your breath when your lungs are smashed.
	If you're already starting with a compromised respiratory system, and this is a respiratory disease, you're already at a disadvantage, says one fatphobic doctor.
	Stop being so fat.
	That's literally these doctors' advice, right?
	And so, what are the progressives going to do to cope about this?
	Well, you could go to this article and declare that BMI is racist.
	I don't care.
	It's basically phrenology, Callum.
	Did you see the name of the author there?
	Your Fat Friend.
	Yes.
	This isn't in response to this, it's just, you know, the way that they look at this.
	But science has disproved many common myths about size, health, and weight loss for years.
	You say it's not a response, but I can see the date there.
	I mean, they're publishing this in the middle of a pandemic, isn't it?
	Well, it's 2019, October, so it's just before it.
	Just before.
	Just before the pandemic.
	Just before the pandemic.
	Being fat is good for you, we swear.
	Science says, well, it's disproved many common myths about size, health, and weight loss for years.
	And then COVID arrived.
	Yeah, instead of recognizing the evolving and increasingly complex science around fatness, people stick stubbornly to the truisms that allow them to freely marginalize fat people.
	And they finish this with, like phrenology...
	Ah, yes.
	Fat studies is basically the new phrenology.
	The body mass index is a product of its social context.
	Even according to its biggest champions, it's not an effective measure of fatness, much less overall health.
	Massive cope.
	But even bigger cope is the point that...
	I know there are exemptions, like rugby players or all the rest of it, but most people aren't rugby players.
	And your fat friend, the author of this article, probably isn't a rugby player either.
	No.
	About half of Americans are obese, basically.
	So, for about half of them, this is definitely applicable.
	But anyway, moving on.
	The next cope, that was from a white, fat woman.
	Where's this going?
	For black Americans, COVID-19 is a reminder of racism in the US healthcare system.
	Next Cope.
	For black Americans, the brutal reminder of the racist legacy of the American healthcare system is a disproportionate number of the 500,000 Americans who have died of coronavirus are black.
	I see where you got the headline for this segment.
	Yep.
	Yeah, African Americans and other people of colour have struggled to access vaccines.
	Ah yeah, that was the reason.
	Racism corrupts every facet of the US healthcare system.
	We're doing practices, practices, bar the entry of black candidates into medical, nursing, dental, pharmacy and other healthcare professional programs.
	Yeah, but that's not, that's not patients!
	But they're making it out, like a black guy turns up at the hospital and they're just like, ah, come on, no, no.
	They just tap the sign that says, no blacks, no dogs, no Irish.
	It's like, what do they do?
	Obviously, that's, you know, mad.
	Segregated medical facilities and unjust treatment of medical facilities continue to plague black patients.
	The experience of COVID-19 is another reminder why we can't tolerate these dynamics.
	We must hold systems accountable and reimagine a healthcare system that results in healing justice rather than perpetuating injustice.
	This is a massive cope because it turns out the CDC is racist as well, right?
	Let's go to the CDC. What would What do they mean by justice here?
	Would you, like, prioritise ventilators for only black patients?
	Equality in deaths.
	I mean, you know, the other day we coloured a story in which New York State actually did roll out that they had some pills, which apparently help you with if you've got COVID, and they're rationing them only for people of colour.
	If you're a white applicant, you won't get the pills.
	Well, that's healing justice, Callum.
	That's justice.
	According to them.
	But anyway, the point of all of this is that the CDC is racist as well.
	Obesity, as they say, is a serious, common, and chronic disease.
	Having obesity puts people at risk for many other chronic diseases and increases the risk of severe illness with COVID-19.
	Which appears to be true.
	And racist.
	Everyone has a role to play in turning the tide against obesity and its disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minority groups.
	What am I supposed to do?
	What's that happening?
	Other than fat shame with memes on Twitter, what am I supposed to do?
	Look at the language there.
	The obesity is having a disproportionate impact on people of colour.
	The fat cells are conglomerating into a movement of their own.
	It's a person in a clanhood that goes around killing black people.
	Well, it's a series of fat cells in a clanhood.
	Little clown heads.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it's like the fatbergs in the sewers.
	I'm going to say the word.
	Yeah, saying the N-word on Twitter.
	But the point is, I love this.
	Everyone has a role in turning the tide.
	It's like, what do I have to do about fat black people in America?
	Do you a bit?
	What am I supposed to do?
	Like, what are your options?
	But anyway, they obviously point out that, look, obesity worsens outcomes from COVID-19.
	Non-Hispanic black adults have the highest prevalence of self-reported obesity at 40%.
	Non-Hispanic adults are 35, non-Hispanic white adults are 30, and non-Hispanic Asians are 11.
	Have you worked out why coronavirus is racist yet?
	I'm always annoyed that Asians just BTFO everyone in the statistics every time.
	Yeah.
	But this is why coronavirus is racist.
	Because blacks are the fattest people in America.
	But I noticed they didn't say white supremacist.
	Or at least they haven't done that yet.
	Not yet.
	Because, you know, you're not the Asians there who are always beating us on this regard.
	And every other group under the sun.
	And, well...
	But coronavirus is racist against blacks.
	Yes.
	Because it attacks fat cells.
	Well, the fat cells are racist against blacks, too.
	That's a good point!
	Is sugar racist against blacks?
	Yeah, Dunkin' Donuts is hella racist, if that's the case.
	Can we start burning down?
	No, we won't.
	But I love that you've scrolled down to the bottom here, right?
	You can see that they've got this like, no, we're not racist section at the bottom, right?
	Hispanic and non-Hispanic black adults have a higher prevalence of obesity and are more likely to suffer worse outcomes from COVID-19, which is racism, because of racial disparity.
	Racial and ethnic minority groups have historically not had broad opportunities for economic, physical and emotional health, and these inequities have increased the risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19 for other groups.
	There we go.
	Yeah, massive code.
	Every other, like, if you want to argue, oh, America, racial supremacist society in the day, yeah, and every other race just, I don't know, got along, apart from black people.
	They're the only ones who were discriminated against back in the day.
	Yep, but they just state outright, many of these factors are contributing to the higher level of obesity in some racial and ethnic minority groups.
	So, the black people are fat because of racism.
	Hmm.
	Not because of easy access to sugar.
	But also historic racism.
	Historic racism, yeah.
	So, I mean, you would think then that would mean that literally slaves on plantations would have been massive, right?
	The epigenetics.
	Yeah, but that's literally peak racism, right?
	Because, I mean, America, if you can measure racism in some way, it's got to be less racist now than it was at the height of slavery.
	So the blacks then must have been massive, you know?
	80% obesity.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And that's that 40% and that's because of historic epigenetic racism, as you said.
	But yeah, so COVID, racism against fat people.
	Do you remember that image?
	I think they did actually burn down a Wendy's.
	Do you remember the guy who...
	No, do you remember during the BLM riots?
	There was that guy who was drunk driving.
	So they took him out.
	He tried to run or take the cop's taser or something.
	So they shot him.
	And then the next day, a bunch of BLM activists came down and burned down the Wendy's as if the Wendy's had anything to do with this.
	But there's an image of a guy doing a fist and the Wendy's sign behind him with flames.
	I was just thinking in my head, that whole brings a new meaning to that image in my mind.
	It's racial justice.
	It's fat justice too.
	Yeah.
	Let's go to the next link.
	Sorry, next story.
	Racist against fat people.
	You're right, that was a good one.
	Sorry.
	Before we start, I was like, I've got a grey headline.
	When I first thought, I just sat there chuckling to myself.
	This is going to be so good.
	Speaking of which, let's talk about de-platforming white people, or at least white parents, specifically.
	This is BuzzFeed News.
	I can't believe that they carry on using the word news in their headline.
	Well, news is a flexible term.
	It just means things that are new.
	Yeah, I mean, being a propaganda outlet, they decided to go with a specific headline.
	I don't know if you can scroll down on this, John.
	So this is an archive link, and you might wonder why it's an archive link, and that's because the headline here, if we keep going, deplatform white parents.
	Oh!
	That's the headline.
	That's the thing about it.
	They want to deplatform white parents.
	What from?
	The news...
	Parents' meetings?
	Their neighbourhoods?
	I don't think there is a limit?
	Well, if we're just discussing who should be deplatformed, wouldn't it just be quicker for us to deplatform BuzzFeed?
	Yes.
	I mean, there are millions of white parents.
	This is going to take ages.
	We also have less Pissgate stories.
	That's true.
	But BuzzFeed's all concentrated in one toxic sludge.
	It'd be much easier to drain that.
	So if we go to the next link, this is the new headline, which they changed it to, because they're covering their tracks here.
	The culture wars aren't real.
	The people they hurt are.
	Which, again, is also nonsensical.
	It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
	What?
	That is so backwards.
	They're not real, but they're hurting people.
	How does that make any sense?
	That doesn't.
	At least the previous headline made some sense as in, you know, it's just BuzzFeed being racist.
	We hate white people, get rid of them.
	You know, okay, fine, we get you BuzzFeed, we believe you.
	Take you on your word.
	Got it in one, chief.
	Yeah.
	But listen, the cult wars aren't real, the people they hurt are, but how could that be the case?
	Like, you are...
	Presumably they just, like, piss themselves after getting the backlash from the open anti-white racism and just write any old crap.
	But they're just relying on the fact that their audience are really, really stupid.
	Yeah.
	You'd have to be really stupid to read that and go, yeah, that's true.
	It's BuzzFeed.
	Let's go back to the old headline, because I prefer that one.
	It's more honest.
	It at least makes coherent sense, rather than literally zero logic, because one is before the other.
	They say in here, earlier this month, British media once again platformed a talking point pushed by anti-trans activists.
	What?
	Platforming talking points.
	That's not even people.
	It's talking points.
	Even a talking point.
	That's fascinating.
	Even one jot of ink in the newspaper being anti-party has to go.
	The Sunday Times, among other outlets, reported, reported in quotes, on a backlash...
	They didn't really report it.
	I mean, it was a report, you know.
	Okay.
	I don't know what that means.
	What did they do instead?
	I don't know.
	On a backlash to a hypothetical scenario in which a sex offender might choose to identify as a woman.
	Oh, that's never happened before.
	Hypothetical scenario.
	Amazing.
	That an imaginary notion was elevated into a news item speaks to the entrenched anti-transness of British media.
	It's amazing.
	Amazing that they can say that this is just purely imaginary.
	Imaginary scenario.
	Hypothetical scenario.
	I mean, if we just go to the next link for anyone...
	We can literally name them.
	Who is a BuzzFeed reader?
	Hello.
	Stop drooling.
	And pay attention for a minute.
	We can name the names.
	And this is an example here of...
	Is this Miss White?
	Karen White.
	I am forced at gunpoint to say.
	A woman.
	If we scroll down, we can get the image.
	A woman, by the new legal definition.
	Yeah, official woman.
	A transgender prisoner who sexually assaulted two inmates at a woman's jail and had previously raped two other women has been given a life sentence.
	So this individual...
	This imaginary individual.
	Yeah, not real, was done for rape and being a menace to children and animals, apparently, as well.
	I just...
	I just got a checklist.
	Well, I've done women and children.
	Come here, Fido.
	I mean, I don't know if it can get worse.
	And then they moved them to a woman's prison.
	And, well, they sexually assaulted the inmates.
	Because, well, what were you expecting?
	Yes.
	And, yeah, so they got a life sentence for that.
	So if we go back to the S piece, because I don't even want to call it a hit piece here.
	But then Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling tweeted the article...
	Yep.
	Further elevating the narrative, she became a trending topic on Twitter, promoting a link between transness and sexual violence.
	Just a quick aside, how long is it until J.K. Rowling gets banned from Twitter and opens a guest account?
	Come on, JK. I'm going to give it a month.
	I'll go two months.
	We'll see who wins.
	She's better.
	She became a trending topic on Twitter, promoting the links between transness and sexual violence.
	No, she said, what was it, freedom is slavery, all the rest of it, and then the penis individual who raped you is a woman.
	Yes.
	That's not making a link between transness and being a rapist, that's making a link between being a rapist and being a rapist, which needs to be made.
	Well, she's also making a link between being forced by the party to tell a lie.
	Yes, because the...
	The person with the penis who raped you was a man.
	The country we live in, and presumably the United States given what happened in Virginia as well, are forced to believe that a male with a penis who says he's a woman who then goes into a woman's only space and rapes a female is a woman.
	And you have to accept that.
	Are women not exempt from the category of rape in UK law?
	Yeah, so...
	Women can't actually rape someone.
	Not rapists, but they are rapists.
	So, of course, J.T. Rowling made the point that no.
	So I guess UK law has to change, because now some women can have penises.
	It was the penis that was doing the raping.
	It's only trans women who can do this.
	Cis women can't.
	Well, you're saying as if some cis women don't have penises.
	It's also not really true.
	I remember there was a story from Russia a while back in which some old grandma had a burglar break into his house and then tied him up, fed him Viagra.
	She got a sentence for that.
	I've seen a couple of them.
	There was another Russian woman who had a gun and just forced this guy at gunpoint to have sex with her.
	Russian women.
	I know, right?
	She wasn't even hideous looking either.
	It was really weird.
	She was alright looking.
	It was like, well, Russian was different.
	Yeah, I bet it bloody is.
	Significantly.
	They continue.
	US media covered her tweet as a controversy that implied there might be a real threat posed by trans self-determination.
	I've never heard of this statement.
	Trans self-determination, as if there's the transgender state or trans ethno state that needs to be set up, in which you just have transgender, presumably just transgender women.
	I don't know if transgender men are allowed.
	Well, why wouldn't they be?
	I feel the progressives might be embarrassed.
	No, no, no.
	Transgender men are vagina owners.
	Yes.
	So...
	I don't know, but I feel like we could, if anyone wants to sponsor that experiment on the Isle of Man...
	To quote Tom Harwood, there's no difference.
	None.
	Zero difference.
	You have to understand.
	A trans woman is a woman, and a trans man is a man.
	Dave Chappelle's point, that it tastes different?
	No?
	Nope.
	Okay, yeah, sure.
	Right.
	But I'm just saying, if anyone wants to set up a Lord of the Flies experiment...
	But this trans self-determination, what they're saying is the ability for someone to just identify how they like, whenever they like, and have that recognised by everyone around them.
	Without question.
	Without question.
	And if you do question, you've got to pay for that question.
	It might be too obvious to state, the author says, but there isn't.
	There is no link between, you know, the certain current situation that JK Rowling points out that rapists can be rapists, even if they're trans women.
	Isn't it weird, though, how there's been like a 300% rise in women raping in Britain recently?
	No, just, you know...
	Just women just getting rapey.
	Women were always rapists, and now we're just finding out.
	Oh, right, okay, yeah.
	Good point, good point, yeah.
	Better tracking of the data, I'm sure.
	In fact, there is actually an ongoing epidemic of violence against trans women, and no such pattern of trans women committing violence against cis women or anyone else.
	Good to know.
	No pattern.
	As you say, the increase in female rape is not a pattern.
	The violence against trans women, I know Rose of Dawn has debunked this a million times, which is, you know, the trans genocide is just not true.
	In the UK, what was it?
	One trans person has been killed in the last 50 years?
	If that's genocide, it's a pretty tame genocide.
	Yes.
	Let's go to the next link, though, which is...
	You can see them saying that there is no evidence.
	I mean, just if you can click on that second image.
	It's the second image.
	In which we get the first stage of grief.
	Denial.
	We're at the denial stage.
	Moving on.
	Let's go back to the S piece.
	Just last year, she publicly targeted clinics where trans youth receive life-saving gender-reaffirming treatment...
	Turning trans-bodily self-determination into a story about supposedly threatening safety of cis children.
	What was the name of the young lady who sued?
	Oh, I can't remember.
	Who was told that she was definitely a woman.
	Yes.
	Sorry, a man.
	And within a very short period of time had her breasts removed at like 16 years old.
	Grew a beard and then was like, hang on a minute.
	Why can't I remember her name?
	Can you remember her name, John?
	I don't know.
	I can't remember either, but I'm sure people will be able to find her.
	Yeah, but we've covered her before.
	She went to the High Court in the UK and won.
	But then it got appealed, didn't it?
	Yeah.
	And it's still currently going through the system, so who knows?
	I don't know what kind of logic that is.
	But we can also just, them saying there is no threat to cis children at all, we can look to Brighton, can't we?
	The progressive hellhole of the UK, and just have a check-up on what's going on in Brighton.
	So if you can go to the next link, please, we can see, well, there was an example of this a while back, you may remember.
	A school in Brighton has 76 students who identify as transgender.
	76.
	All in one score.
	That's nothing to do with grooming by activists.
	Always been this way.
	40 children don't identify with their gender, they were assigned at birth.
	36 say they are gender fluid.
	And then you've got the person who said the white race is the most destructive force of nature ever, saying this is totally normal.
	On mainstream media.
	This is a result of society being liberal.
	Kirabel, that was the young lady who was groomed into it.
	And yeah, this is definitely not the result of grooming.
	Could you imagine showing this tweet to Soviet agents in the 60s?
	Just for a minute.
	Just like, how could we make the West look even more ridiculous?
	Okay, we have an international racist, Margaret Burndoff here, saying on mainstream TV to the British public that, do not worry about this one school that suddenly has 76 transgender students.
	This is perfectly normal.
	And it's weird that it's not like somewhere in the north, you know, that's like socially conservative.
	It's in Brighton.
	Exactly.
	It's in Brighton.
	The gay capital of the country.
	I should say the queer capital of the country.
	Sorry, yeah, good point.
	The place where the Greens have their one seat, isn't it?
	Yes.
	It's that progressive.
	That left wing.
	It's like, I mean, it's literally like our San Francisco.
	I met a mate who lives there, and one time the Green Council even banned, what was it, red meat from the, what was it, council canteens?
	You couldn't get red meat?
	So the bin men just went on strike because they wanted bacon sandwiches.
	Good!
	It was like, I'm getting up, I'm flying in the morning.
	Yeah, I'm having my bacon sandwich.
	Anyway, back to the S piece.
	So if we, I don't know what else, but let's go back to the piece in which she says, she has also mocked evolving public health language.
	Again, there's so sneaky language in here, but I suppose we're used to it.
	That includes trans men and non-binary people hijacking that recognition to create a story about the supposed erasure of cis women.
	I didn't know what the hell she was talking about at first, and then remembered.
	Oh wait, chest feeding people.
	Remember that?
	Remember the pregnant men?
	Yep.
	Pregnant men, chest feeders.
	Well, I mean, it literally is erasing cis women by not calling them women anymore.
	They're not part of the gang.
	No.
	And instead, I think the NHS ended up backing down on the chess-feeding one.
	Yeah, they did, yeah.
	So, you know, good job turfs there, I suppose.
	Yeah.
	But then, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, she doesn't like reality.
	What's the white people got to do with this?
	What do the white parents have to do with this?
	Great question.
	So we'll skip along, and she says, This scenario comes into play whenever powerful people, institutions, or political organisations raise public concerns about the protection of majority groups, especially white women and children.
	Right.
	The first question is, why do the majority groups need defending?
	Yeah.
	And who from?
	Why are they under attack?
	Hmm.
	It's not normal.
	Why are the minorities attacking the majority?
	Never used to have this, ever, but okay.
	And is that correct?
	Is it that society should allow a sort of aristocracy of minorities to rule over and continually needle and attack the majority?
	I'm pretty sure that's not very democratic.
	Hmm.
	In fact, two of the biggest seemingly unrelated culture war stories this year were propelled by a similar free framing of misinformation as legitimate debate.
	Please, tell me more about your 76 transgender pupils as you accuse me of misinformation.
	What gender are they?
	I mean, like, 50 of them are non-binary or something, so, you know, they're going to lecture us about misinformation.
	Gender fluid.
	These so-called controversies were supposedly about trans people, especially trans girls and women, and teaching history known as critical race theory in debate.
	Both were part of a political backlash that came in response to increased visibility for minority groups, increased representation of trans people in media.
	Is that what they came in response to?
	Was it the visibility?
	Or was it the fact that critical race theory was being taught as some sort of factual interpretation of history?
	Kids were being segregated on the basis of their race in public schools.
	Talked about white people bad, black people oppressed.
	There was the black communism school in Florida that DeSantis has quoted many a time.
	Yep.
	No, just because we saw more black people, therefore, I don't know, white people can't stand it.
	I mean, critical race theory is Nazism for black people, just so you know.
	And then it goes on to whine about the fact that it's just more visibility of BLM. Yeah, it's not the visibility that's the problem.
	No.
	First-person opinion pieces by mothers of cis athletes.
	I love how they use the word cis and it just sounds like they're sort of mad every time they say it.
	As if there's something wrong with first-person opinion pieces.
	Of course there's a first-person opinion.
	Raising fears about trans inclusion or human interest reports featuring on-the-ground stories of white mums airing complaints about supposed radical ideas being introduced into schools.
	And here's where the racial hatred gets in.
	The white mums are the enemy.
	But they're supposedly radical.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, they are radical.
	You call yourselves radicals.
	Segregating kids on the basis of their...
	We got rid of that, for example.
	Well, the communists of the critical race theory were very disappointed by that.
	Yeah, they were like, well, this was a mistake.
	We're going back to tradition.
	If you please.
	So the white mums are the enemy.
	Why?
	Because they're giving first-hand accounts of the awful treatment that kids are getting.
	There was a black mum as well who was furious about this because she was like, well, why can't my children sit in a classroom with white children just because they're black?
	It's obviously not just white mums who are upset about this.
	And the school was like, because they're black.
	And she was like, what?
	Yeah.
	Is this cool being run by the Klan?
	Because that was the only reason.
	That was literally the only reason.
	Burning cross behind the principle.
	Yeah, no, no, no.
	This is diversity and inclusion.
	Whatever the content of the reports or articles in platforming these issues through the concerns, concerns in quotes again, you segregate my kids, that's not a real concern, of cis and white people, mainstream media is manipulating, distorting what constitutes legitimate perspectives for coverage.
	You went to the primary source, a parent in the school who was discriminated against.
	That's a misaligned version of what you should do as a journalist.
	Instead, you should ignore the mumps.
	one why because they're white and in doing so sideline the actual difficulties of experienced and marginalized communities including black and trans youth white people cannot complain why because they oppose intersectionality that is the actual argument this author is making amazing and they should be deplatformed and There is a long history in the US of setting the terms of debate by centering media narratives around the well-being of white women and children.
	I love how white women and children have been tack-feared from the aggressive stack as well.
	Oh, absolutely.
	But that wasn't going to last for long, was it?
	It's usually associated with the anti-black, anti-gay right-wing activism and can be traced back to anti-school integration campaigns of the 60s.
	Right, I'm not going to take anything from these people who are like, you know, did you know they opposed integration?
	Critical race there is due.
	That is their opening gambit.
	Yeah.
	The opening shot across the bow is integration was a mistake.
	Yeah.
	I preferred when we didn't integrate.
	I preferred black-only schools.
	We should have just given them more money.
	That was the argument from Derek Bell.
	And you can know that this person is an absolute moral on this topic because they say right-wing activists use similar framing to introduce the so-called controversy over critical race theory.
	attempts to eradicate histories of race in the u.s are nothing new as recently as 2011 activists attempted to ban ethnic studies and mexican-american studies curricula in arizona but ethnic studies simply doesn't have the polarizing or concerning ring necessary to stoke a national panic about existing curricula offering like studying civil rights leader martin luther king jr that's right and Unless you've got Marxism in your classrooms, you'll never know who Martin Luther King Jr.
	is.
	But this moron just defines all of the critical race theory stuff as studying Martin Luther King Jr.
	You don't know what you're talking about.
	No, no.
	They're openly lying about this.
	You can go check out loads of stuff that we've done on this at LotusEast.com.
	The term critical race theory was perfect for right-wing campaigners, though because...
	You named it that!
	We didn't do anything.
	It's on the textbook.
	You know that Derrick Bell wrote a paper in it called Racial Realism?
	I'm going to get to that.
	That'll be fun.
	Because as one activist told the New Yorker this summer, to most Americans, it connotes hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American sentiments.
	Accurately so.
	Chad, yes.
	Yes, it does.
	And that is why you should hate it, if nothing else.
	I mean, that's...
	Okay, let's be very clear, right?
	That's exactly correct, because they are literally angry at the United States for not fulfilling what they consider to be the liberal promise.
	And they're like, right, so we can use Marxism to get to that end goal.
	And that means that America is, of course, bad.
	It's a racist, white supremacist country.
	This is deeply elitist.
	And the critical race theorists even have an essay about their own elitism, because they're like, hang on a second...
	We're like, you know, powdered, wig-wearing, soft-handed academics.
	Do we actually represent the on-the-street view of black people?
	I've been on a law campus for the last 30 years.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Subsidised accommodation, subsidised food.
	So they are self-consciously elitist, right?
	It's poisonous because they're constantly citing Gramsci.
	It's in Gramsci's attack on the civil society itself, and they recognise what they're doing as a part of Gramsci's attack.
	In fact, they call Martin Luther King...
	One of Gramsci's organic intellectuals, and they seek to engage in what Gramsci called a war of position against society, right?
	So poisonous, yes.
	Race-obsessed, I mean, definitionally.
	Divisive, of course.
	You're literally trying to divide society up into a series of categories.
	Academic, it comes from the law academies.
	I think it was Harvard Law School it first began.
	And hostile, well, yeah, they describe themselves as fighting a war against the American Republic that they didn't think was going to come to fruition in their lifetime.
	So they must be thrilled that, like, Kimberley Crenshaw is still in her 60s or something.
	So this is, you know, 30 years on, they've got their success.
	Anti-American.
	Obviously, naturally anti-American.
	So the whole thing is completely true, and I can explain exactly why.
	In here, they also say, this year, right-wing activists expanded their concern, again, concerning quotes, And it wasn't an accident they set that arena as a location to invent debates.
	They're inventing the debate here as well.
	The right-wingers are doing this, not anyone else.
	Right, so all the questions are answered, is what they're saying.
	Sports.
	They're inventing a debate on whether or not trans women should be able to demolish the women.
	Like classrooms, sports are imagined by white Americans as a neutral space of meritocracy.
	Right.
	I don't...
	What else could it be?
	It's just who's the best at the thing, whether it's basketball or running or whatever else.
	But you're not thinking in systems, Callum, because...
	Well, hang on.
	No, wait.
	Black people win loads of running competitions.
	I'm...
	Black people are really good at sports.
	But they're not trans.
	So...
	Women are being held down by systems?
	Usain Bolt's holding down the women?
	I don't really.
	Again, the idea it could be anything else but a meritocratic place.
	The right-wing think tanks purposely promotes that setting for human interest stories about fairness.
	Why?
	Because they're right, you would have thought.
	Well, is it fair that women's sports gets abolished and becomes penis owner's sports?
	I'm going to move over a bunch of it because I wrote a bunch down but we don't have time and I'll skip to the end here for the best part.
	Some news organisations are questioning the uncritical use of police sources when ascertaining the truth of events.
	Of course they are.
	Okay, so insane leftists have decided the police cannot be used as a source to even find out what's gone on.
	- Oh, FBI crime statistics are racist. - "Cis and white concerned parents," in quotes, "might be less obviously identifiable as a problematic sources, but it is a powerful category of people due for a similar reckoning." They are due for a reckoning The reckoning being that we don't list white parents at all as ever having any concerns.
	They're not allowed to be in media.
	They're not allowed to be part of the conversation.
	Ever.
	That's amazing because what it is is, you know, the police aren't giving us the results we want.
	The FBI crime statistics are not giving us the results we want.
	Therefore, they're gone.
	The white people?
	I'll get rid of them.
	Yep.
	What about the, what is it, black people who are white as well?
	Oh, Larry Elders of the world.
	We're going with the white people, surely.
	They may as well just come out and say, look, give us exactly what we want and we're not going to argue about it.
	tellingly after a backlash to the white framing of its white framing of its how young is too young a critical race theory story CBS changed the headline not to say white parents are finally having to grapple with the questions others routinely do instead it replaced it with a non clickbaity mouthful documentary explores debate over how and when race should be taught in schools I love how she's complaining about headlines being changed Did it?
	The non-clickbaity headline.
	Oh, so sorry that this isn't clickbait.
	BuzzFeed can't think outside of clickbait.
	De-platform white parents.
	You remember that headline?
	No, you don't, because you changed it for culture wars aren't real, but they hurt people somehow.
	Like, the monster in your closet isn't real.
	Unbelievable.
	Kills people at night.
	It's not a real debate, is it?
	Because we don't allow debates, do we?
	There's only the right answer.
	Our answer is the customary way mainstream media dodges any pressure about taking sides, but platforming both sides implies we live in an already equal world.
	We don't, and that's a fact.
	Good.
	And I don't care.
	Platforming both sides is about fairness, not equality.
	No one wants equality.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And why do you think it implies we live in an already equal world?
	No.
	It implies that both sides deserve to be heard because they're both people.
	Anyway, this is Budsby's opinion, which is now the mainstream media or any journalist's responsibility is to never talk to white parents ever again for a story because they can't be relied upon because they'll disagree with intersectional nonsense.
	And we can expect that to be in the CNN editorial room presumably by next month as standard.
	Oh yeah.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Hi guys, long time no see.
	I'm glad to be back at the gold tier again.
	I'm just wondering, it's a question for Carol mainly, do you have any specific place that you think people should start trying to learn about leftism?
	Be that history books of specific movements or specific theory books, just because a lot of them are quite intimidatingly big or difficult to read.
	Thanks.
	It would depend on what kind of leftism, obviously.
	Because, you know, you want to learn about class socialism or intersectionality or racial socialism or whatever else.
	I'm not a huge fan of reading in general, to be frank.
	Which is why I make you do book clubs, Callum.
	Yes, and I'm sure it's evident to everyone who's ever watched a podcast of me mispronouncing nonsense.
	I'm a huge fan of videos, so I would highly just recommend video content instead.
	If you want to learn about racial socialism, I've said before, Tix video on this.
	There are timestamps.
	You'd have to watch the whole thing.
	Just go for the bits that are interesting.
	And I think that's a great starting point, frankly.
	Learning about the connection between socialism and Nazism and how it's running along the same lines.
	Because then a lot more of the other stuff, like the intersectional stuff, will make sense, in my view.
	Personally, I think people should start with the French Revolution, because essentially it all comes from there.
	We're doing a book club on that later, aren't we?
	Well, kind of.
	It's more about conservatism.
	We'll be doing Burke's Reflections on the French Revolution.
	And the thing is, he was writing very early in.
	He was writing before the king had even been executed, and the terror had started.
	But he was like, look, you guys are going to go mad, and then they went mad.
	But if you go through the events of the French Revolution, there are lots of good lectures on Audible and things like that about just the series of events, but the ideology that informs the series of events, because that's what's really important, because essentially it's just leftism that is taking over France and then causing all of these problems, and you can see the same thing happening now.
	It's all identical.
	I love someone in the chat was just like, no, Callum just has the Bronze Age mindset.
	Like, reading is too advanced.
	That's industrial revolution nonsense.
	Oral tradition is king.
	But also, good to see you again.
	And indeed, French is a gay language.
	Let's go to the next video, comment.
	Do itch.
	Tos en allem go val tu g'maf.
	Anyway, I have almost finished listening to Bo and Carl's Bear Osiris series, and I do have a couple of ideas for you guys, if you like.
	One is about the political life of Margaret Thatcher, because I wanted to hear your opinions about her, and another about the nation of Rhodesia.
	The latter of which I know a little bit about because I've actually met people from Rhodesia.
	Well, one person anyway.
	What version of Total War is this?
	I was enjoying it.
	I don't want to tell her.
	Surely you want to do Rhodesia?
	Yeah, probably.
	I mean, it's a difficult topic to cover.
	I only know one...
	So, the guy from Voice of Wales, Stan, I believe his name was, he's actually met Ian Smith.
	Oh, really?
	I was very mad.
	I was so jealous.
	He actually met him and got to ask him a whole bunch of questions about the whole thing.
	And...
	We've also met one other person who I've mentioned before, and I'll tell the story again because I think it's funny, which is the guy we met at the AA conference who is, heritage is Indian, let's say.
	Both of his parents were like, born in Bombay, Mrs.
	Chakrabarti, Mr.
	Chambali, or whatever, and yet on their official Rhodesian certificates of who they are, their ethnicity is white, because the Rhodesians towards the end were just like, we need more white people, so make the Indians white.
	Well, they were part of the British Empire administration.
	Officially white.
	Legally white.
	Well, that's how these things work.
	Eventually, but it's a big topic.
	I'll speak to Beau about doing the Margaret Thatcher thing.
	He's from Essex, so he probably loves Thatcher.
	I'll speak to him.
	Hey, so I just wanted to ask a question to Carl mainly.
	Why is everybody so complacent as if everything's just going to work out and just magically fix itself?
	Even though all the indicators are showing that that is not going to happen.
	That's a really good question.
	I would suggest that it's the same reason that the communist revolution didn't happen and it's the abundance of material prosperity.
	Usually these things that occur in principle don't get people motivated on their own and it comes with Actual change is a product of genuine lack of material standards.
	And so when people get hungry or are actually being beaten by the cops and things like that, that's when I think things will change.
	What do you think?
	So some of this has to come from the fact that there is still some trust.
	I mean, it's a broad question, to say the least.
	But let's take the UK and the various problems we have.
	There's some trust that the system can still rectify itself and can be influenced.
	And if we didn't have that trust, the one that you'd end up with, like, you know, the Welsh Taliban.
	Well, yeah, I mean, you'd have no choice.
	So, I mean, I don't know what he means by complacency.
	It could be the guys who just want to grill, because they just want to grill.
	Yeah, and I think that's what he's speaking to.
	And the reason that they don't do anything is because they can grill.
	When they're stopped from grilling, then you'll see the Welsh Taliban springing up.
	Spatulas or death.
	Go to the next one.
	I came across this image yesterday while browsing Facebook, and rather than point out all the ways in which it's wrong, I'd like to focus on the kind of wider implication of this is how progressives tend to think.
	It's presented as being, men just want this, our society just wants this, and we just want this, our goals are incompatible.
	They don't stop to think, this is a direct response to what you've asked for.
	You've laid out a principle, laid out demands, the other side has said, well, on the same principle, we want this.
	They see it as a zero-sum game, and society is their perpetual enemy.
	Yes.
	Until society represents their calculus of politics, then they will always do this.
	And the principle that they're laying down is not for you.
	That's how this works.
	Good commentary.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Otherwise, yeah.
	Hey guys, a lot of people are going to be thinking new year, new me this time of year, and they're going to want to start going to the gym.
	So with that in mind, here are a few pieces of advice.
	Number one.
	Number one rule is, look cool while you're lifting.
	Get the right gear.
	Don't be the guy who shows up with blue jeans and cowboy boots and spends all his time on the Stairmaster.
	Rule number two.
	If everybody in the gym's looking at you, you're probably wrong.
	Stop what you're doing.
	I imagine asking for help is not verboten either.
	No.
	I imagine Jim Burrows are pretty welcoming.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, good advice.
	Be less fat.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So, Callum, in your response to later wanting to elect normal MPs, and you're wondering if there's any sane people in Wigan, there isn't many of us, myself included, Lisa Nandy is just awful.
	North FC rise up.
	Is Lisa Nandy popular in Wigan?
	I really want to know, man.
	She's still elected.
	Come the next election, is she looking at some trouble?
	I can't remember.
	Let me check her constituency real quick.
	I want to hear from the voice on the ground in Wigan, though.
	What's going on there?
	Can it swing by 20 points or what?
	It's always important as well.
	What is it about Lisa Nandy that people are looking at and going, yeah, she's our girl?
	I like Keir Starmer right now.
	She occasionally says something like, we need a patriotic progressivism or something like that.
	What does that mean?
	I have no idea.
	But if you're a lifelong labour family or something, maybe you're seeing some stuff in there that's like, oh yeah, patriotism.
	It's old labour, therefore we're getting back to our roots or something like that.
	The whole thing doesn't make sense because with progressivism it's like we need a patriotic progressivism.
	But progressivism starts from the premise that there's something wrong with our civilisation and it needs to change.
	She's got a majority of 15%, and last election she lost 15%.
	Oh, right, okay.
	You're looking for something to do, chap.
	Come on, Wigan, come on!
	We love you, Wigan.
	We do.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So, for the guy who's going to bring up anime and manga, I kind of want to bring up his point and do it faster, because we spoke about this on the Sultans of Chatelay, because I want to cuck him.
	So, basically, he's going to bring up how Carl constantly complained that media in the West subverted promotes people not being responsible, and he wishes that there's a form of media that would do the opposite.
	And then My Hero Academia is literally the textbook definition of what he wants, but he cringes and reels in pain away from it because it's weebery.
	And so the problem then becomes, you just want to complain, you don't want a solution.
	No, anime's gay.
	That's what.
	You can quote me on that.
	I'm very much North FC on this topic now, which is just, I don't care, don't like it.
	Don't like it, it's foreign.
	Yeah, there we go.
	It's not like I just want to complain.
	How did this happen?
	Apparently the audio was muted because of copyright.
	I watch the show.
	I don't collect the actual manga.
	This is the spin-off.
	Anyway, Carl, you say you don't want to watch anime, but you also talk about how modern media is subverting culture and giving bad messages.
	So for the next few weeks, I will be educating you on why this show is your daddest anime.
	Welcome, Carl.
	This is your Hero Academia.
	What did I do to deserve this?
	I don't know.
	And how is this religious proselytization?
	Yeah, that's how it comes off.
	You know, the Christians in the Gold Tears who mention Christ, they're less pushy.
	The thing is, I'm not saying it's not good.
	I'm saying it's gay, okay?
	I'm saying I don't care.
	I'm not interested.
	On the topic of sending you stuff as well, I mentioned last time that you're not here every day for the podcast, so it just seems like a bad idea to try and do a series in video comments.
	I mean, I guess we can hold them until the days are not.
	Maybe, but it's not really what video comments are for.
	Sure, but I'm not against the idea.
	Yeah, but then we limit it to one per day for a reason, and if we're building up four or something, it doesn't.
	Then he'll just have to wait for four different days.
	It's going to take forever.
	Just my advice.
	Good, I mean...
	Go to the next one.
	So if we just pull this random person off the street, they've got a better chance than most of our candidates.
	I'm not even joking, that's where this article is going.
	That just doesn't seem to be the choice these days.
	Anyway, my name's Richard Head.
	Hello.
	And my motto is, vote for Dick Head.
	So you don't get a Dick Head for president.
	He's got my vote.
	Yeah.
	We were talking about the Democratic primaries.
	Yeah.
	Just literally, a random person off the street would have a higher approval rating.
	That is what the insiders in the Democratic Progressive Party were saying.
	Well, that's true.
	Because the American public's had lots of experience of all of these politicians and they just generally hate them.
	So, like, Kamala Harris dropped out on, like, 5% of the primary.
	It's like...
	You know, the primary star, I don't know, I don't care who the progress is, but I might even buy that merch or something.
	Just be like, yeah, whatever, just destroy your own pie.
	Go for it.
	John is pointing out that we do know Richard Head as well, who did run in UK politics.
	Well, it was Richard Brain.
	Yeah, that's still that.
	I hope Richard's okay, he's a good guy.
	Yeah, he is.
	Happy New Year, gents.
	And for my New Year's resolution, sell a ton of books so I can save up a ton of cash and then buy another property.
	Also, really looking forward to collabs.
	What's this?
	Merry Showmas?
	Happy New Show?
	Time for a collab.
	Hey, TF, do you want to do a collab?
	Over to Mr.
	the heart.
	That's horrible.
	laughs Okay.
	This is becoming a sort of deep lore here.
	Yeah, there's a community that is forming and they're all collaborating with each other on various projects.
	Some of them more wholesome than others.
	Some of them just memes.
	Yes.
	I enjoy the ball.
	Let's go to the next one.
	It's been a while since I made any sort of video comments or anything.
	My boyfriend was here and he's visiting.
	He just left today and then I was off work for like 12 days.
	I went shooting and so I have like a little bit of a year of that.
	Woo!
	exciting it's good fun that .
	I told you about me and Michael were joking a while back about, like, the monkey mindset of just, like, reducing all the society to just, like, you know, monkey make friends, monkey with friends, stronger together, or something like that.
	And it's like, um, there's something about guns that really brings that out, I think.
	Just, like, big boomstick.
	Big boomstick kill people.
	They have big boomstick, therefore they call something like that.
	Oh no, shooting guns is great fun.
	That's all my mind was doing when I was looking at it.
	I was just like, ooh, bang.
	But anyway, good to see you again.
	Nothing to do with your video comment.
	I'm a sponsor, but let's go to the next one.
	The last quarter was a nightmare, but I'm back now.
	I've wanted to talk about this ethics and computer science course that I took for my undergraduate because it was surprisingly good.
	I thought it was going to be a lot like the diversity courses I took during my pre-major, but it was actually about ethics and moral theory.
	The best part about it was this book, which covered different systems of ethics, such as utilitarianism, deontology, contract-based and Aristotelian, and then gave us technological scenarios on which we had to apply them.
	Unfortunately, I don't think a quarter is enough, and I would like to see more of these courses in technological disciplines.
	Joel?
	Sorry, yeah, come on.
	Utilitarianism is trash, but sure.
	I don't know what to say about it, but see the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan with another Legend of the Pines, the Burlington County Prison Museum in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
	Originally built in 1811, it was in continuous use as a prison up until 1966.
	It held such infamous luminaries as Albert DeSalvio, the Boston Strangler.
	It has many ghosts, but in particular, there is the Death Room.
	I can only imagine.
	I love these.
	I wonder about the kind of jokes you can make.
	There are some sensitive places in the world, for example, in which you have a big brief before where they're like, be very serious, don't do anything silly, and then someone always does.
	There's probably like...
	I mean, the atmosphere of the room is not exactly going to be jolly, is it?
	Like, you know...
	The room itself is probably going to be depressing to be in.
	Go on trick-and-treat, dressed as a boss and a strangler, I don't know.
	I'm just thinking about what you can do with it.
	There's got to be some sort of psychic residue in the room of all those people who died.
	Sorry, I just reminded me, did you ever see when Obama came to Stonehenge?
	No.
	He actually woke me up, because I was sleeping and he flew over in the Ospreys.
	Anyway, personal story.
	Obama at Stonehenge?
	Yeah, he flew to Boscombe Down, the military base there, landed with his Ospreys, got taken out to Stonehenge.
	And there's some lady who, you know, helps run the places, showing them around, like, yes, stones, sheep over there.
	So she's very blasé about it.
	And Obama does this really fake thing, where you can see he's obviously being fake, and she's like, you can really feel the energy from this stone circle.
	Can I be on my own for a minute?
	And he just walks around, like, pondering to himself, and he looks like such a ponce.
	He's just Justin Trudeau'd us.
	Yeah, he just walked around the stone circle for a while.
	I should have just stood there like, yeah, whatever.
	You can.
	Got another one over at A3, by the way, you know.
	He's got a few.
	Want to go see Woodhenge while you're here?
	And then he got back in his car, got his ospreys and buggered off.
	The ancient energy.
	Yeah, that's all that reminds me of when people walk in and they're like, all the energy of the ghosts.
	It just seems like a poncy thing to do.
	It is, that's why.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Okay, Carl, I agree with a lot of your recent takes regarding science, but I strongly disagree with your framing, and I think that's why you're losing people who otherwise basically agree with you.
	It magnifies less significant differences that then overshadow the extensive common ground.
	This is probably gonna take several video comments.
	I don't want to do a full reaction video to your Adam and Stitch stream, but I feel like I might end up having to.
	Definitions.
	The radical left understands how important definitions are.
	One of their predominant and most sinister tactics is to redefine terms.
	That's their vanguard.
	Are you against fascism?
	Then you must be Antifa.
	Do you believe that black people's lives have intrinsic value?
	Well, then you must support Black Lives Matter.
	Capital S Science is not science.
	Don't concede to their redefinition.
	I made my point.
	I stand by it.
	Okay, thank you.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Greetings, Lotus Eaters.
	I would like to submit an open request to everyone.
	This isn't professional medical advice.
	Due to lower levels of sunlight, we have lower levels of vitamin D in our bodies.
	Thanks to my family members who specialize in blood analysis, I know that its deficiency can increase chances of developing depression or other mental disorders.
	Additionally, it has been noted that most people that required hospitalization due to recent illness were vitamin D deficient.
	Please supplement vitamin D. At best, you will be safe and feeling better than ever.
	If not, then you will be couple pounds poorer.
	With love, just some random guy.
	Good point, though.
	Yeah, we were talking about it, but I also mentioned Michael the other day came with some vitamin D tablets after watching one of these podcasts, and he was like, yeah, you know, it's important, all this.
	And then we sort of took it to extremes, and he was just passing around pills in the office, like, nah, I'm immune to everything.
	I don't know if there's any downsides, are there?
	You just piss out.
	Well, I mean, I imagine taking too much of anything is bad for you.
	Can you overdose on vitamin D? Yeah, I'm sure you can.
	I'm sure I can try.
	You can overdose on any chemical.
	You can overdose on water.
	But like, I'm sure that like taking, you know, one a day is not going to hurt you or anything.
	But there was a, there was back, it was in, must have been near the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic or something like that.
	I remember reading about vitamin D levels in black people in Britain and how they're like 40 or 50% lower than white people because of the skin tone.
	As in, you know, because vitamin D is created when the sun hits the skin.
	And if the melanin is preventing the sun, like, penetrating the skin, so it doesn't metabolize and create vitamin D or whatever it is, then that's a real problem.
	And that apparently was due to latitude.
	If your genetics are used to Nigerian latitude and then you move to Scotland, well...
	Well, yeah, because in Europe, and in Britain especially, we get a lot less sun than they do in Africa.
	We're not just pasty because we're all mayo monkeys or something.
	No.
	Apparently you can overdose on vitamin D, at least according to the Mayo Clinic, which is meme magic, but yeah, I don't know what else to say.
	How much do you have to take?
	I don't know.
	They don't really say.
	They just say apparently, what is it, 60,000 international units?
	I don't know what that is.
	International unit?
	I don't know why I wouldn't just say 10 pills or something, like a human would.
	Absolutely.
	Michael says that's an unbelievable amount.
	I mean, how many international units are in one of your pills?
	So there's 1,000 international units in one of my pills.
	So don't eat 60 of those pills.
	Don't eat 60,000 vitamin D tablets a day.
	No, there's 1,000 in one tablet, so it's 60 tablets.
	Oh, sorry.
	So, yeah.
	Still, one a day should do fine.
	Yeah.
	Vitamin D, good for you.
	This is not medical advice.
	Is it not?
	No!
	Because we don't know anything about medicine.
	Well, just don't be vitamin D deficient.
	I can say that.
	That seems like a reasonable thing to say.
	Right.
	That's the peak of medical knowledge here.
	Yeah.
	Try not to get Ricketts.
	Rick says, every time I hear something about Tommy, it just makes me feel so bad for him.
	I still to this day use his Oxford Union speech to show that he isn't a racist Nazi overlord, that the media and the left try to paint him as.
	All he wants to do is expose the corruption of the police, politicians, journalists and Islamic fig heads are using to allow some of the worst crime that's gone on for the last half decade without recompense.
	Hashtag justice for Tommy.
	I agree.
	It's funny how that Oxford Union speech is the only one that's allowed up still.
	Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it?
	I have a personal soft spot for him in regards to the fact that he's got some things to criticize him for and some things he's done wrong.
	Personal traits, that's not hard.
	But the thing I found most egregious that makes me want to make sure he's still in the public eye as he is...
	It's because of the way he was deplatformed, it was so obviously corrupt, and we have the receipts.
	Like, we have Mohammed Shafiq tweeting at, like, four in the morning, just had a meeting with Facebook to talk about Tommy Robinson and how he's radicalising people, and then Facebook deleted him from Facebook and Instagram, and said it was because of him radicalising people into terrorism.
	Well, no, they said it was because he claimed...
	...heading followers of Islam, radicalism, and it's just like...
	Right, so literally this snake of a man goes and gets a meeting with you at four in the morning, or whatever it was, and just somehow says, he's bad, delete him, and they do it.
	But then don't forget the Danish Facebook representative was on Danish TV talking about it when Tommy went over there, and he said, well, there wasn't any one post, and it's because that's because that post didn't exist.
	They directly claimed he'd posted something to Facebook calling for people to behead, quote, the followers of Mohammed, That's not true.
	But they did this the morning after Muhammad Shafiq had that meeting with them.
	So there is no one else except Muhammad Shafiq, a personal enemy of Tommy because they don't get along, because Muhammad Shafiq thinks the Quran is perfect and doesn't justify slightly.
	Well, Muhammad Shafiq's in defence of grooming gangs.
	Yeah, and so he went and just lobbied on his own behalf to delete Tommy, and now Tommy is deleted from everything, even from mainstream press, on that.
	And it's just like, right, if this isn't a human rights abuse, if the CCP did it, I don't know what it is.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Dick says, The Guardian, TR's car went up in flames after it collided with another unsuspecting motorless road user.
	The BBC, black victim of PTTSD through milkshake at TR's radicalizing hateful car in self-defense.
	BuzzFeed, man babies need to grow up as just a milkshake.
	Vox, unbelievable what milkshakes are able to do to a car.
	CNN, should milkshakes be banned or is there danger all blown up far right fear mongering?
	Vice, how to make spicy milkshakes.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Tyler says, the inaction silence of the police and the media is evidence that support child rape.
	I wish they could prove me wrong.
	Well, that is true.
	I mean, they're tacitly in support of it by literally doing nothing about it.
	For time, should we move on from this?
	Yeah, yeah, okay.
	That's a good point.
	Although me and John will be going up to see the documentary when it comes out.
	I don't know if you want to come or if you've got the time.
	Well, I don't know when it is.
	But if you're there, we'll have fun.
	Yeah.
	Edward says, speaking as a man who's struggled with his weight for most of his life, I have to say the greatest issue we face is people being told that being fat is fine.
	It's not fine.
	The greatest thing I've ever done is become more active.
	Yeah, you and me both, man, I'm telling you.
	Some of my friends have been like, oh, you were fine, but if you feel like there's something you need to do, and he says, no, I wasn't fine.
	I hated how I looked.
	I didn't need to come to terms with it.
	I need to do something about it.
	There is nothing better than having a problem that you know you're slowly solving.
	Dude, this is honestly speaking to me on so many levels.
	Charlie says, the left, trust the science.
	Do what the scientists say.
	Also the left, no, being fat is perfectly healthy and good for you.
	Science is wrong.
	Yeah, exactly.
	M1 Ping says, COVID being worse for fat people can be simplified to women most affected.
	Which women?
	Moving on.
	White parents.
	Chris Wolf says, This is what I was getting at in my Adam and Stitch podcast.
	And this is why essentially the sort of left-wing view of these things, that the science, can go hang.
	I regret nothing.
	Robert says, if they think white mums are the problem, just wait until they meet the Muslim dads.
	Yeah, that's great, isn't it?
	Omar says, I think it might have been a Jordan Peterson lecture or something, but I remember an experiment where half the class of students were given a picture of the other half and could choose anyone they wanted.
	At any point, the second group could choose to exchange their picture for a different one, and most of them did.
	At the end of the experiment, they rated their happiness with the picture they had.
	The group that didn't choose had much higher happiness than the group that could choose and changed their choice.
	Now imagine doing that with names and gender.
	Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it?
	You just come to terms with what you are and what you have.
	Snowdog says, Unfortunately, it's been everywhere, as I said last week, my daughter being influenced into becoming bi.
	After becoming friends with my friend's daughter, this has been strengthened by her school, and I have to ask how many children at her school are now identifying like this.
	She said she knows at least ten schools, at least ten the schools are wrecking our young people.
	They should be educating our kids, not indoctrinating into the LGBT cult.
	The same has happened with my daughter, Matt.
	Literally, she's had a girlfriend.
	It's like, no you haven't.
	Did she snap out of it?
	Yeah, yeah, she did.
	Callum says...
	You know, I remember, actually, there was...
	I used to be friends with some girls at an all-girls school.
	Yeah.
	At a different town.
	And I noticed the difference because that was a private school and ours was public.
	And we never really had any much of this stuff.
	And one day I went over and I met them and they just had loads of, like, badges and all this crap and I was just endlessly talking about it.
	I was just like...
	Who's come in and indoctrinated you?
	Even as a kid who didn't know anything about politics, I was just like, someone's turned up.
	You look like a cult.
	Yeah, it wasn't normal.
	So Callum says, here's a funny question.
	Which is more important to the progressives?
	Fat people, black people, coronavirus, Islam, women, or transgenders?
	The answer to that is transgenders.
	More of less.
	Which narrative and group is the most important in the hierarchy of progressive politics?
	Love to see the Muppets squirm.
	Well, the answer is transgenders.
	The thinnest margin is the most oppressed by their calculus.
	And so there are the least a number of transgender people in the country, and therefore they're the most oppressed.
	And it explains the Doctor Who meme.
	It's like, who's going to be the next Doctor Who?
	It's always a picture of a woman of colour who is disabled and trans and gay somehow as well.
	I saw Pink News speculating on the next James Bond, and they were like, oh, these trans actors would be great.
	One of them was Ellen Page, and I'm like, yes, five foot one James Bond.
	Built like a manlet.
	Like, yeah, I mean, I want it.
	I'm...
	Burn it all down.
	Is it ER who does, like, series on superhero movies sometimes?
	I know he did the Star Wars one as well.
	He hasn't made a video in bloody years.
	Yeah, but I always remember...
	It's insufferable.
	There was a criticism I never cottoned on until I watched his stuff, in which he points out that just a lot of movies are really hard to take when you start realising, like, why is this five-foot thin woman being able to overthrow these chunky men?
	Yeah.
	And it's just like...
	Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
	Could you imagine Ellen Page beating up guys?
	Look at Elijah Wood, right?
	Have you ever seen Sin City?
	Yes.
	So his character works because he's like a ninja, right?
	And he can't be hit.
	But as soon as he gets grabbed, he just gets broken in half, right?
	And that's basically what it should be like with these things.
	And if you're not like a ninja, then why are these 5'3", 100lb girls beating up these 6'6 guys?
	But it's like when, in the Star Wars series, where the guy who plays Han Solo, I can't remember his name, he came back, and he's really old, and you can tell in the footage that you've got a scene with him running, and it's clearly just like they've slowed a lot of it down, because he can't run very fast.
	It's going to be that kind of fighting, where you just go, ha-ha, and they just move.
	That's crap.
	Anyway, we're out of time.
	Sorry.
	Sorry, whining about Ellen Page.
	But if you'd like more from us, go to lotushears.com.

	And we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
