	Good afternoon folks.
	Welcome to the podcast, The Load Seaters, for the 25th of January 2022, which makes me feel really old saying that.
	I'm joined by Leo.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about how the reality of Biden's failures is just undeniable.
	Leo is going to explain to us why GB News is currently getting a kicking for having a comedy show.
	How dare they?
	And we'll talk about The Great Reset Part Two, The Great Narrative.
	You're looking forward to that?
	Yeah.
	I'm looking forward to that.
	I'm looking forward to hearing about how our world controllers are going to have access to every little bit of our lives and will tell us exactly how we should live.
	Yeah, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
	Yeah, when has that ever gone wrong, apart from in the 20th century?
	You know, we only have a few dozen examples of that going wrong.
	But anyway, before we begin, we've got loads of great stuff on the website that you should go and check out, such as part two of John Wheatley's Reading the Future in Propaganda.
	I haven't read part two yet, but part one was absolutely fantastic, because basically what he's saying is, look, they've got a bunch of dog whistles, and when you see these dog whistles, you can directly infer what comes next.
	And it's almost 100% reliability that it comes next, because you know, you know, They're on that path and you know where they're going.
	And so this is part two of that.
	We also have the downfall of universities, which is a new article by Hugo.
	We've been talking about universities quite a lot for premium members.
	So if you're a silver member, you can listen to the audio of that and with John Wheatley's.
	But this has been a major problem.
	The universities are so unbelievably corrupt.
	That now they're essentially coasting on credibility and credit that other people had built up.
	And they're just using that down.
	It's the same effect that's happening in Silicon Valley, basically, where they're using a bunch of infrastructure that the people who now occupy those jobs couldn't build.
	And so it's not good.
	And also the sort of advantages, the benefits you get from studying a non-STEM subject are sort of dwindling and dwindling.
	I mean, the sort of only real advantage you've got now of getting a degree in the liberal arts is some job applications say you need to have a degree, you need to be educated to degree level.
	But while the sort of benefit is dwindling, the cost is rocketing.
	So the cost of university education is vastly outperformed inflation.
	It's staggering, isn't it?
	Especially when practically all of the university course material is available on the internet anyway.
	Yeah.
	So if you knew what to look for, you could just get it all for free.
	But anyway, the next one is the episode 5 of Critical Base Theory.
	I listened to this yesterday.
	This is really good.
	Really, really good.
	Thomas is discussing, like, what is it that really...
	What's the real crime of the heretic here?
	Why is the heretic so abominable?
	I'm not going to spoil it for you, but do go check that out.
	That's awesome.
	But then we'll move on to the last epochs that we did, which was myself and Beau talking about Solon, the great Athenian lawgiver.
	Now, we've been doing a bit of a series talking about ancient lawgivers and ancient founders of the famous cities of antiquity, right?
	So you've got Lycurgus, who's the founder of Sparta, who creates this paedophile slave state.
	Right.
	Not even joking.
	That's legit what it was, right?
	Sounds like he's in the SNP. He pretty much is, yeah.
	But everyone's like, oh, Lycurgus, the famous lawgiver.
	It's like, yeah, but he was actually a communist revolutionary.
	He set up a pedo slave state.
	It's actually really bad.
	And then the other one is like, oh, well, what about Romulus?
	Romulus, what, the actual bandit who founded Rome and then kidnapped and raped a bunch of women?
	He's not a good guy either.
	And the only half-decent one from the ancient world was Solon, who's the Athenian lawgiver.
	Who is basically like, look, we're laboring under these terrible laws of a guy called Draco, which is where we get the word draconian from.
	And he was like, look, I'm going to just try and put some fair laws in place, then I'm going to go away and see how they work, and then I'm going to come back and see if everything's alright.
	Really, like, the reforms that he puts in are really, really fascinating, I mean.
	I hope you enjoyed it.
	And of course, on Friday, we have our Gold Tier Zoom call.
	So if you're a Gold Tier member, you can come and join us.
	We're starting at 3.30 this time because we've decided now simply is not long enough because there are a lot more people joining than we expected.
	And that means that not everyone gets a chance to have a say on something.
	And so what people raise things that they've been, they can talk about anything.
	Yeah, we just talk about whatever we want.
	Right.
	You know, so as you know, Callum and I just sit there and talk to our Gold Tier members.
	But anyway, let's get into what's been going on.
	So even the mainstream media has been turning on Joe Biden at this point because his failures have become so manifest and palpable, they are actually undeniable.
	So there are some really great clips of this.
	Now, it's not just the couple of clips I'm going to show you.
	I've actually seen lots and lots of different ones.
	But I just think that one or two of them sum it up.
	Let's play the first clip.
	President Biden's news conference on Wednesday was designed to kick off a second-year reset of his presidency.
	Recapture his political identity, if you will.
	But our new NBC News poll suggests Mr.
	Biden does need a reset because he's lost his identity a bit.
	He's no longer seen as competent and effective.
	No longer seen as a good commander-in-chief or perhaps most damaging, as easygoing and likable.
	In fact, just 5% of adults say Mr.
	Biden has performed better than expected as president.
	One of the many lowest, firsts and fewest in our poll.
	And as we kick off our Meet the Midterms coverage heading into November, the NBC News political unit Developed what we're calling a midterm meter.
	It's based on previous election cycles.
	It's basically three poll numbers you need to know best.
	I'm going to start with perhaps the most important number to understand the direction of the midterms.
	It's job approval here.
	The president's job approval rating sitting at 43%.
	If you look at history, history shows that kind of presidential approval rating leads to a shellacking for the party in power.
	How about the mood of the nation?
	Well, let me show you this right now.
	Our wrong track, nation's on the wrong track number, sitting at 72%.
	Second poll in a row where we've been over 70%.
	This is only the third time in our poll's history over 30 years where we've had two tracks that off.
	That, again, would put you in shellacking territory for the party in power.
	I mean, this is MSNBC. This is a corporation that is institutionally Democrat.
	And so if they're like, look, you're going to get absolutely ruined come the midterms, let alone the next election.
	This is not good.
	And CNN, four days ago, had a commentator on to explain what they thought about Biden.
	And it was shockingly brutal.
	So we're going to watch it.
	Scott, I read a piece that you just wrote, essentially saying this is Joe Biden doing what Joe Biden does.
	Yeah, well, I never imagined how quickly this would all unfold.
	The person they sold on the campaign, the nice old moderate grandpa who just wanted to help everybody get along and compromise, is not what we got over the last year.
	He has no mandate really to do much of anything.
	It's amazing that he got a couple of things done.
	When the mandate was really Pretty clear.
	50-50 Senate, a near 50-50 House, and a pretty close presidential election.
	The mandate was simply replace Donald Trump and don't do anything drastic or stupid.
	And everything about this agenda is extremely drastic.
	And he's been angrier than I think people expected.
	He's been more divisive.
	He's been more partisan.
	You look at the issues.
	We built five years of coverage on Trump out of Russia, COVID, and democracy.
	The president at his press conference invites Russia to invade the Ukraine.
	We've got more deaths under Biden than Trump.
	And now we have the president and vice president and leading Democrats question the legitimacy of the 2022 election.
	Are we any better off on these three issues that we crucified Trump over?
	I think he has a lot of political problems.
	And an AP poll came out this morning.
	Only 28% of Americans want the sitting president to run for re-election in fewer than half of Democrats.
	This is a disaster.
	Wow.
	And again, CNN is also a really quite leftist news channel.
	Absolutely.
	And so you can tell that in the Biden camp, there must be some unbelievable levels of stress.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Because they've been projecting like this...
	This infallible aura out from Saki and her press briefings that go down to the press.
	And so it's all this glowing positive coverage, whereas everyone on the ground is like, wait, this is actually terrible.
	How has it got this terrible?
	And so you can see the tension in their faces.
	And this was actually, I thought, brilliantly exposed by Jen Saki when she went on The View.
	Now, again, they spend the first five minutes of this essentially going, oh, you're so perfect, you're so wonderful, I love your press briefings, blah, blah, blah.
	And she's just like, ha, ha, ha, ha, thank you.
	And then they're like, right, so what are you working on?
	They're trying to get rid of the filibuster.
	Now, the filibuster is actually not a part of the American Constitution.
	It's actually a tradition that is built up in the Senate.
	And this is one of those examples, actually, of how a tradition exposes wisdom that you wouldn't have rationally considered.
	The filibuster is when people delay bills going through as a political tool.
	Yeah, because of extreme opposition.
	And the thing is, what that means is you've got to stand there for hours talking.
	So it requires a huge amount of commitment on your part.
	So you must have a genuine investment on the part of the person doing the filibuster.
	In order to want to actually, you know, actually do this thing.
	So it speaks to like, look, you know, if we're going to have a country, we've got to have goodwill between both parties.
	And if we're prepared to stand here, I mean, the longest filibuster is literally like 24 hours, where someone's just stood there talking for an entire day.
	You're going to put that bloody effort in.
	You must have a really important reason to do this, right?
	And so this is one of those things that you wouldn't have planned out in advance, but as a necessary tool.
	And it's got a cost on both sides.
	And so they're trying to get rid of the filibuster, obviously.
	I mean, the Democrats use the filibuster loads against Trump.
	They don't care.
	They don't want them being used against themselves.
	So they're trying to get rid of it.
	And it's not working.
	They've just failed to get rid of it.
	And Psaki is unhappy with this.
	You can see the tension in her face.
	Let's watch this.
	Hey Jen, Lindsey Davis here.
	Of course, as you know, all too well earlier this week the Senate once again failed to pass voting rights protections with Democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joining all Republicans in rejecting changing the filibuster rules.
	The president has said that he was disappointed but not deterred.
	So where do you see a path forward at this point?
	Well, the path forward is we have to keep fighting.
	Look, I think this week has been frustrating, devastating, angering, all of those things.
	And everybody who's been fighting for this, there's so many activists across the country who have been so central to getting to this point.
	I mean, just a year ago, there were more people who were opposed to filibuster changes in the Senate.
	So we've made some progress on that front, but we've got to stay at it.
	So my advice to everyone out there who's frustrated, sad, angry, pissed off, Feel those emotions.
	Go to a kickboxing class.
	Have a margarita.
	Do whatever you need to do this weekend.
	And then wake up on Monday morning.
	We've got to keep fighting.
	Who the hell is she talking to?
	Like, the wine aunt demographic that watches The View.
	Like, have a margarita.
	Have you looked at the fuel prices?
	Like, what is wrong with you?
	And so, obviously, the memes were just golden.
	It's one of those memes that was going around that I particularly enjoyed.
	But it's like, who, what sort of detached, like, lunatic position is this?
	It's a real sort of modern version of let them eat cake.
	Yes.
	Revealing the sort of, the, just lack of association and connection with the sort of grim realities that are facing Americans right now as they face, like, spiralling inflation.
	Food costs going up, you know, COVID, like, draconian things being imposed on them.
	And that's if you can actually buy some food, because the ports are all...
	Yeah, yeah, we'll get into this.
	Because they're publicly managed, so, you know, food's not coming through.
	And Jen Psaki's just like, let them drink margaritas.
	Yeah.
	It's like, okay, Jen Antoinette.
	And so this is the point, though.
	It's just undeniable what's happening in the United States right now and how unbelievably catastrophic it is.
	For example, as the Daily Caller pointed out, the oil and gas productions, it's just ridiculous what's happened to them.
	But the thing is, it's Biden's policies that have done this.
	So this was Kathleen Zgama, president of the Colorado-based Western Energy Alliance, told the Daily Caller that basically it's, she says, the signal sent very early on, notably the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline and the federal leasing ban, so they can't drill for oil in particular federal lands, and they're cancelling the Keystone Pipeline would have gone from Canada to America.
	Which means that basically there's uncertainty in the industry.
	And so they've become not energy independent and relied on foreign oil imports.
	Because oil exploration and prospect, there's a huge run-up cost, leading cost.
	So it costs millions and millions to prospect for oil and then drill for it.
	So if you think, if there's even a suspicion of in five years' time or whenever it is, the regulations are going to change, so you're not going to be allowed to drill there...
	They're not going to invest in prospecting there and developing it.
	And this wouldn't maybe be such a remarkable thing if under Trump they weren't literally paying people to take the oil away.
	Oil prices became negative.
	So it's just interesting how it's directly linked to Biden's policies.
	And of course, inflation is out of control.
	If you can give the New York Post a link...
	This Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell said, well, basically, inflation is no longer a severe threat to the economy.
	Sorry, he called it a severe threat to the economy, and it's no longer just a transitory thing.
	Because they were saying, well, there is no inflation.
	Oh, inflation is just transitory.
	Oh, inflation is a good thing.
	They said it was just a recovery from COVID. Has everybody went out and spent their money?
	But no, what they did was they printed $1.7 trillion.
	And when they print money, it's very sort of addictive for the government.
	We saw this in Zimbabwe, we saw this in the Weimar Republic, anywhere that descends into absolute chaos.
	So they print money, they've suddenly got money to spend.
	But every pound, every dollar that they print devalues the dollars that already exist.
	They can't print resources.
	That's the problem, because that's what they think that they can do.
	Well, money is resources, and therefore if we print money, we're effectively printing resources.
	No, you're not.
	You're just literally making the money worth half or whatever it was it's actually worth.
	And destroying anybody who's been sensible and saved for the future, just destroying their savings.
	Absolutely.
	And it's disgusting, frankly, and totally irresponsible.
	And so the Washington Post point out that, I mean, this is costs are up for everything, food, energy, vehicles, shelter, transportation, clothing, and of course gasoline and fuel, 50% more than in December, with some stations literally, I mean, in California, it was something like $2 a gallon, and now it's like $6 a gallon in some places.
	And so that is unbelievable.
	You've doubled or tripled the price of fuel.
	And who is hardest hit by this?
	Well, not the margaritas drinking Californian white aunts, obviously.
	It's the working class people around the country who don't have lots of disposable income.
	Yeah, and don't have a Tesla.
	Yeah, don't have a Tesla.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Don't work at the White House.
	You know, those people who actually keep the country running.
	This is obviously just wild and out of control.
	And so Biden's like, yeah, this is everyone else's fault but mine.
	Yeah.
	Says The Hill.
	Like, again, another outlet that I would say has an institutional bias in favor of the Democrats and Biden.
	But even they have to say things like, you know, supply chain trouble started with the pandemic, but the Biden administration hasn't made anything better.
	In fact, their incompetence has made matters worse.
	So good.
	Even The Hill's calling your administration incompetent.
	I don't recall them calling Trump's administration incompetent.
	I remember them calling him evil and various other, you know, Variance on that.
	But at the end of the day, the economy was doing very well.
	I think quite a few people did call Trump incompetent.
	But the thing is, it was a different kind of incompetence.
	I mean, he didn't really sort of get involved.
	He didn't really enact too much.
	Biden's very interventionist in the economy and in business with regulations.
	And the Democrats just love sticking red tape in.
	And red tape never.
	I mean, occasionally it's a good idea.
	Obviously, certain things have to be done.
	If you've got cladding going on a building, it's great if it doesn't burn.
	But for a lot of things...
	It's a very specific reference, yes.
	Yeah, but there's a lot of places for regulation, but in general, regulation and also not knowing what the regulation is going to be is bad for business and bad for the economy.
	Whereas Trump, because his administration was sort of gunked up, it meant it didn't interfere.
	And that actually turned out to be great for the country.
	The best government is the government that does nothing.
	I agree.
	And they can sit there and go, you know, Trump's incompetent, Trump's incompetent.
	But if you looked at how things were working, I mean, prices were low, everyone had jobs, everyone had money, everything's going great.
	So you can call them incompetent all you want, but the proof is in the pudding.
	Everything's going brilliantly.
	And if it hadn't been for COVID, then Trump would have probably got re-elected.
	Without a doubt.
	If it hadn't been for COVID and manipulation.
	We can't talk about falsification.
	I meant manipulation in terms of...
	Media manipulation.
	Media manipulation.
	Yeah, so take it down to Hunter Biden's story.
	Yeah, algorithmic manipulation from Google, as Robert Epstein said.
	I think we got away with that.
	But again, they point out that, look, you axed the Keystone Pipeline, and they say they took no fewer than 24 other actions that raised energy prices.
	I don't want the government having that sort of level of interference in anything, right?
	And they say, and yet, President Biden won't fess up about the effects his policy has had on supply and energy prices.
	And again, it's just been everyone else's problem.
	And like, you know, complaining about the supply chain problem, They say Pete Butt Judge has been on a two-month paternity leave that amounted to no more than bad optics.
	Buttigieg was AWOL in the West Coast ports, were struggling with daunting bottlenecks.
	And despite this, the Biden regime is basically on nothing.
	But let's talk about the bottlenecks in the supply chain.
	It's always good when the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management are like, don't buy too much.
	You know, don't buy too much.
	There's nothing more American than saying, be restrained.
	It's not the Soviet Union, but it's close.
	You may have noticed empty shelves in some stores due to national supply chain issues.
	There'd be no need to buy more than you normally would.
	And if you scroll down on this, John, you probably see the first comment.
	Sorry, let's go to the next one.
	So there's a comment on this.
	From a verified check mark.
	The supply chain issues are global, not national.
	But look at all the people underneath.
	I live in Argentina.
	No supply chain issues.
	I live in the Philippines.
	No supply chain issues.
	We live in Britain.
	No supply chain issues.
	I live in London.
	Lots of stuff in the shops.
	Yeah, exactly.
	There's no global supply chain problem.
	The problem is California, actually.
	And we know this as well.
	If you go to this local reporting from a California newspaper, they just explain, just, you know, by the way, this is basically the fact that, like, something like 30-40% of all imports to the US go through Californian ports.
	Yeah.
	And the problem that they have are environmental regulations.
	And so this is not good news, basically.
	So government involvement.
	Anytime the government gets involved in a process, it becomes unnecessarily complicated and messed up.
	Yes.
	It's like throwing grit into the wheels instead of oil.
	You know, it's a terrible idea.
	And of course, Jen Psaki apparently laughed at a reporter when he asked her what's going on on the coast of Los Angeles, mockingly responding to him that she doesn't feel bad that his treadmill will be late.
	Just go and have a margarita.
	I just think that is a hint of the, like you say, communism.
	This is what you're allowed to buy.
	This is what's value.
	This is what we think is valuable to you, so your treadmill isn't valuable to you.
	Whereas, actually, his treadmill You don't know.
	He could have been told by his doctor to lose weight.
	But like that attitude stops there as well.
	Well, I mean, there's supply chain problems with the foods and the shelves.
	Okay, well, I don't care.
	Go and have a margarita.
	We're getting rid of the filibuster loser.
	It's like...
	What?
	I don't care about the filibuster.
	I care about the fact that I can't go and buy the food I want to eat.
	But anyway, so things aren't going well in other places either, like the stock market.
	Peter Doocy, who's a Fox News reporter and is not very popular with the White House at the moment, asked about whether President Biden thinks it's a big deal that the Dow Jones dipped more than 1,100 points.
	I don't know if that's a lot or not, but it sounds like it's bad.
	And Saki, the mouth of Biden, is just like, unlike his predecessor, the president does not look at the stock market as a means by which to judge the economy.
	What does he use?
	That's probably the best measure, the most direct measure of the economy and people's confidence in the economy.
	Okay, but let's take charitably.
	Okay, maybe, I don't know how the stock market works.
	I'm not an expert.
	Maybe that's not the best means.
	So what is?
	Is it inflation?
	Is it supply?
	Is it the food in the shops?
	The amount of money that people have made?
	Because another thing as well, right, is the fact that the wages are down as well in real terms.
	So wages dipped.
	There was one of the links, but I skipped over it by accident.
	But let me just find it.
	It was mad.
	It was like 2.4% down or something like this.
	And it's like, right, so people's wages are going down.
	And the inflation in the country and all the prices of everything are going up.
	That's assuming you can even get anything.
	The Homeland Security is like, don't buy too much, lads, because you know how things are.
	And she's just like, I don't care.
	On a wider level, wages are going up.
	This started under Trump, but it's continued just because of the shortage of people.
	So, I mean, that's one good thing is that, you know, wages over the years have been rising and sort of, you know, hopefully making up for the dip that they took due to offshoring and automation and all the rest of it.
	But, I mean, the trouble is then, like in the Weimar Republic, when wages went up and so working people were sort of insulated from a lot of the inflation, but then retired people and people dependent on savings weren't.
	Here we go.
	I found it.
	It's in the New York Post article.
	Take-home pay, because of inflation-adjusted hourly earnings, as in because of what inflation has done, they're 2.4% less than a year earlier in December.
	So it's inflation up, wages down, everything going badly.
	And Psaki's just like, I don't care.
	This is not my means of judging the economy.
	Well, what is?
	How would you judge the economy?
	I'm a foreigner, I'm no economic expert, and I'm looking at this thinking, good God, you guys are screwed.
	And it's not like, you know, Joe Biden has never used the stock market as a measure of, like, success.
	You know, for a fact, if it was going through the roof, he'd be like, hey, look at this!
	That's exactly what he did, like, a year ago!
	Look what I made happen!
	Yeah, that's exactly what he did.
	Go to the next one, John.
	Like, there he is, like, you know, the stock market's 20% higher than when my predecessor was there.
	Well, there we go.
	Like, of course he can, you know, because this is just anything that makes them look good.
	And how long?
	I mean, that's not that long after he'd taken over.
	Exactly.
	And so he's taking credit for essentially Trump's economy there.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay, but a year in, your economy sucks.
	Absolutely sucks.
	Almost everyone in the country.
	I mean, like, I can't imagine who the 43% of people who have a favourable view of Biden are at this point.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know, the why not demographic is getting out of control in America, it seems.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, you can tell that this is all getting to them.
	The Biden administration, they're now surrounded because before they had all these allies in various different institutions and all these institutions are going, no, you're screwing this up.
	Everyone can see you're screwing this up.
	Well, he presents an existential threat.
	Kamala Harris as well, his approval ratings are terrible as well.
	They present an existential threat to the Democrats' chances of survival and getting re-elected at the next election.
	Yeah.
	I mean, Biden, his big selling point was he's not Trump, so he's successfully delivered on not being Donald Trump.
	He is a different person.
	I mean, congratulations.
	Yeah, I mean, that's probably the easiest one to hit.
	But his other thing was, like, he's going to be competent.
	People just wanted some sort of stability and competence.
	Donald Trump, hugely entertaining, but a bit of a wild card, you know?
	We had a good crack at being president, but, you know, you're always like, yeesh!
	The glorious golden god in hindsight compared to this.
	I mean, good God, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'd rather than pay me to take the oil away.
	Yeah, competence is really not what he's delivered on, and it's really a shame, you know what I mean?
	And considering who they could have, they could have Tulsi Gabbard.
	Yeah.
	They could have Tulsi Gabbard as their candidate, and she would have been like a new Obama.
	She would have been sensible.
	She would have been sensible.
	She's crossed the party divide.
	She appeals to everybody.
	She's a former service woman.
	She's so smart and so on it.
	But they were like, no, she's a white supremacist.
	She's got to go.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And that was the problem.
	Even though she's a woman of colour.
	She's from Hawaii.
	Yeah.
	She's a normal person.
	But that's the point.
	Biden's got this radical regime and it's screwing everything up.
	And you can tell it's getting to them because of a hot mic moment with Peter Doocy, if I'm going to the next one.
	Ducey asked him, do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?
	And Biden said, it's a great asset, more inflation.
	What a stupid son of a bitch.
	And it's like, look, man, you caused this.
	You could undo it by just simply rolling back some of these environmental regulations, by not burrowing out the money.
	You're the one who's responsible for this.
	And you're going to have to take the credit.
	Anyway, let's talk about GB News.
	Okay, so GB News.
	Basically, GB News has launched a show called Headliners.
	It's now running seven days a week.
	It's 11pm to midnight, and there's a rotating panel of comedians going through the news stories.
	I did it last night, funnily enough, so we've got a clip of me doing it last night.
	We're going to play in a moment.
	But when it was announced, so they announced, they revealed, it's been running.
	It started off like four days a week.
	But now it's gone to seven days a week and they've released a sort of promo thing with all the comedians doing it.
	And so it got absolutely slaughtered.
	I don't know if you remember a couple of weeks back I was talking about a Radio 4 pilot that I recorded.
	That was recorded last Monday and Twitter just blew up with people slamming that before it had even been recorded.
	People were offended in advance, like Minority Report, like the pre-offence unit.
	Well, it's the same with Dankula.
	Dankula did, like, a thing with the BBC and they got them cancelled before it even aired because it was just him.
	Yeah.
	And it was just like, right, okay, well, he has to go.
	It's like, okay, well, brilliant.
	Yeah, and their rationality is almost like witchcraft.
	They're like, well, this person's a witch, so whatever they do is going to be bad.
	Divining the future, isn't it?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, so this thing in the future is going to be bad.
	But yeah, so a headliner has come out.
	Basically, we've got a really balanced panel.
	It's always presented by either Mark Dolan, Dominic Frisbee, or Simon Evans.
	And then the rotating panel, there's loads of lefties.
	There's some people that are right-wing, like myself.
	But, you know...
	We're pretty balanced.
	It's fairly diverse in opinion as well as in what way our tick-box demographics.
	But yeah, so here's a clip here so we can play it if you want to play it from the start.
	Now the Times is reporting there are more racist statues still lurking among us.
	Is this with you?
	This is somebody even predating William Coulson, I believe.
	There is.
	There's a memorial to Tobias Rustat.
	He was...
	He was a courtier to King Charles II, and he lived quite almost the entire stretch of the 17th century, quite wealthy, an investor and a director in the Royal African Company, which between 1663 and 1691 Moved, shipped more slaves across the Atlantic than any other business.
	They cornered the market, actually.
	The worry is that he also set up...
	I read that he created the first fund for purchasing books at Cambridge.
	Nice.
	And that's why that statue is there.
	Yeah.
	But Cambridge is worried, and the college where the statue is, is worried that the money that he procured...
	For the books was used by...
	It's changing somewhat.
	Yeah, of course.
	Yeah, well, it's, you know, that's how it goes, isn't it?
	Well, yes, it is how it goes.
	Most of these benefactors and philanthropists are, to some extent, cleansing their soul.
	Nobody got rich in the 17th century from, like, inventing a recycling system.
	It was all slavery.
	By making candles, I know, or by opening a yoga studio.
	I know it's true.
	And you don't want to know certain things about celebrities you follow.
	I read stories about Barbra Streisand.
	I'm like, oh, I can't read it anymore.
	Yeah.
	She has a museum to herself in her own house.
	She's crazy!
	Turn the music on!
	Every time a dog dies she clones it and has the same dog again.
	She does!
	She has two cloned dogs right now!
	The dog just wants to die!
	He's just there, just let me die!
	I'm 185 years old, please let me die!
	Don't play a film Moon!
	The dog discovers it's got to hear the...
	So yeah, basically, we talk about issues.
	You've seen this type of show on so many different programs, but it's fun.
	It's funny.
	And there you can see I'm on with Scott Capuro, who's a gay American comedian.
	So it's not just all straight white men going through stuff, being bad straight white men.
	But from the response it got on Twitter, Chortle, this terrible comedy blog, They announced it and everybody replied.
	It got like 780 replies and all by people who look like this.
	I don't know if you click on her.
	Click on her little face.
	I say little face.
	It's like one of the moons of Neptune.
	Pronouns of she and her.
	Click right on it so it opens up.
	Yeah, look, obviously, my pronouns are sheer...
	Oh, man, they all list their pronouns.
	They're all absolutely just, man, nobody would ever...
	Your dick would bend away from it like a magnet.
	You know what I mean?
	Just...
	Just her, the worst, the worst of humanity, and they're all like, you know, hashtag be kind and all that, because they're never kind.
	I saw a bunch of them being really cruel to Lee Hurst, because he wasn't on the line-up.
	He was trending just because they were like, haha, you suck, Lee, you're not even on, do you mean, so what?
	How do you know?
	How do you know he's not like, I don't want to do that job or whatever?
	Yeah, for Lee Hurst, he's not on GB News.
	He's retired.
	Well, there we go.
	Because he's a multi-multi-millionaire.
	Why would he want to come and do something?
	Like, man, that guy...
	And also, he's kind of involved in...
	He owns the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green, where Comedy Unleashed is, where we recorded the Radio 4 pilot.
	Yeah, I've been there many times.
	It's great.
	It's a great club.
	Yeah, but basically, man, the guy's super rich.
	Like, super rich.
	And he's retired.
	And he's retired, so yeah, he's not going to come on it.
	Look, you old man, you don't have a job.
	Yeah.
	Of course I don't.
	And people were saying, oh, Jim Davidson doesn't even get on this.
	It's like Jim Davidson is also...
	He's like 80 or something, isn't he?
	Yeah, he's a multi-multi-millionaire and he's got his own thing going on.
	You know, he doesn't want to come on this, but yeah.
	Lots of people showed their complete lack of comedy knowledge by saying they didn't recognise any of the comedians.
	I don't know if we can go on to...
	So yeah, here's the panel.
	So these...
	If you don't know who these comedians are, you're not much of a comedy aficionado.
	We've got Josh Howey, who's a fantastic comedian.
	Nick Dixon, Andrew Doyle, who, you know, is behind Titania McGrath, used to write for Jonathan Pye, you know, very, very well respected.
	Then Steve N. Allen, who's on The MASH Report, so that's, you know, big primetime BBC comedy show.
	Then Rona Cameron, who, she won Celebrity Big Brother or something, and she's had, you know, she's had her own sitcom and all the rest of it.
	So, you know, these aren't small fries.
	Simon Evans has had loads of BBC series.
	Dominic Frisbee is probably famous.
	Mark Dolan.
	He's a great guy.
	He's really funny.
	Mark Dolan has, you know, had sort of primetime Channel 4 shows and documentaries and all the rest of it.
	Sajila Kershi, she was involved in a Perry Award winning show.
	Ian Stone, circuit regular.
	I've done, you know...
	Comedy store headliner, like I used to when I still got booked by them.
	And, you know, he's a regular on TV and radio, doing sport and stuff.
	I do Times Radio with him a lot.
	And then there's me.
	Yeah, I've never heard of any of those people.
	And the guy that I did it with last night, Perry, award-winning.
	He's in Mrs.
	Doubtfire.
	He's in Star Wars.
	You know, this isn't...
	He's a loser.
	Yeah, and people are like, I've never heard of him.
	You know what I mean?
	Well, maybe...
	Get off Twitter.
	Yeah, maybe you should, like, learn it.
	It's like, you want Michael McIntyre?
	The only comedian recognises Michael McIntyre?
	Yeah, yeah.
	He's not gonna do it.
	But anyway, so we've got loads of abuse from comedians as well.
	So, yeah, if you go back to the one we were just on, this is Ian Fox.
	Who is he?
	He's always been knight.
	Well, exactly.
	No, I mean, legitimately, who is he?
	So he's a comedian.
	He's like a circuit comedian, but not a high-tier one.
	Right, right.
	He's a loser.
	Never heard of him.
	Middle spot.
	But I love the way he's making Twitter a really nice place there.
	Yeah, he's like, Siri, what does a gallery of...
	I mean, I can't say it.
	No, no, exactly.
	...look like C-words.
	Oh, I replied to this when it got my reply.
	If you scroll down.
	Siri, what does a comedian who makes £320 a month look like?
	I'd be surprised if he even makes that much.
	I don't know who he is, so I couldn't comment.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't know why he makes it.
	I think he's probably got a proper job now.
	But yeah, he's always been nice to me.
	And then tweets something like this.
	And then there's Ollie Horn, who's a comedian, just asking him, like, why are you bothering tweeting something like this?
	Who are you trying to impress?
	He's just being needlessly cruel.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay, why?
	Good point from Ollie Horn there.
	Here's another comedian, although, I mean, I've got to be honest, no good comedians seem to have an issue with it.
	It's all these terrible comedians who move on to the next tab.
	Joe Ross Williams.
	I thought Simon Evans had a bit more integrity than that.
	Oh, he didn't sign up to the Nazi party!
	Yeah, totally.
	What's wrong with you?
	Although people do reference the Nazis later on.
	People are absolutely mad.
	But Joe Ross-Williams, just terrible, open mic.
	It's like, where did you get the balls to address Simon Evans, who's had a long career with the BBC? Yeah, I don't know who this guy is either.
	Yeah, so he's actually...
	Joe Ross-Williams has quit now.
	Because comedy's hard, especially if you're terrible.
	If we move on to the next...
	He's now working for Halifax, I believe.
	And there's Mitch Benn, who is quite a successful comedian.
	But he always seems to have a go at stuff like this.
	He's a musical comedian, which doesn't count.
	Have you got a guitar?
	Can you use guitars?
	Doesn't that BTFO Dominic Frisbee?
	We can't.
	I apply this to Dominic.
	Dominic's feeling is that he uses a ukulele.
	I agree.
	Comedy with musical instruments doesn't get...
	Because it's just forcing people to applaud when you finish.
	That's all it's doing.
	There's a shade being thrown, I disavow.
	But Mitch Benn says, because they've all got this thing like, oh, you think you're the only right-wing comedian on the circuit?
	It's like, no, nobody's ever said that apart from you.
	You know what I mean?
	But he says that about everything.
	What they say is that there are hardly any right-wing conservative comedians on the BBC or Channel 4 or something like that.
	It's not that they don't exist, it's that you never platform them.
	That's what the objection is.
	Yeah, and more than half of the comedians there are probably left of centre.
	So, you know, it's ridiculous to say that they're all conservative comedians.
	They're just not woke.
	If you ask me, it's not right-wing enough.
	Yeah.
	But they're just not woke.
	That's the contention.
	Yeah, they're just not.
	Some of them are quite woke.
	Like, Rona Cameron is fairly woke.
	Stephen Allen is quite woke.
	Sajil is quite woke.
	Oh, God.
	So, yeah.
	Christian Talbot here.
	They have one joke!
	Like, literally.
	What the...
	Like, they say scabs.
	Scabs!
	Yeah, so this is Andrew O'Neill, who's a sort of, he was, you know, doing this sort of transgender thing before it was popular.
	But yeah, I mean, I've kicked with Andrew, and he's just, he's not a good comedian.
	But scabs, that's such a weird thing.
	And to say that we're scabs, like, we've crossed some sort of line, that comedians shouldn't be allowed to, like, perform.
	The comedy union has declared.
	Yeah, there's one opinion you're allowed to have.
	And how is this?
	You'd think the left used to be all for equality and representation and making sure everybody was treated fairly and equally.
	And now he's saying, no, you shouldn't be allowed to represent more than half of the electorate.
	Because, I don't know if you noticed, but the last election, we voted in a Tory government by quite a landslide.
	Britain's a far right country, they need to figure that out.
	But the point is, though, is he saying that he's unemployed and you having a job is you being a scab?
	He's probably not far.
	I mean, he probably doesn't make that much money, to be honest.
	I mean...
	Sounds like he's rough on the comedy set.
	I gig with him, and I've spoken to other comedians about it, and everybody says, you know, yeah, he's terrible.
	Christian Talbot is quit comedy.
	But he didn't quit comedy before perving and sleazing on a young female comedian.
	So, yeah, he's a disgusting, grubby old man who seems to have this, like, you know, this...
	He got four likes there, man.
	Four whole likes on one retweet.
	I mean, that was worth it.
	Well done.
	Well done, Christian Talbot.
	He was actually called out by Sajila Kershi, who...
	Sajila runs a gig, and here he is saying, like...
	The Death Star.
	GB News.
	Actually, the decor is quite similar to the Death Star.
	I love this.
	As if GB News is the Empire.
	It's not the BBC. Come on!
	We're the Ewoks.
	We're the tiny jungle planet fighting against the Empire.
	So, and yeah, here's this alleged BBC satirist.
	Having worked in political satire for nearly 40 years, I wish I'd known that at the start of my career, I would have tried harder not to be funny.
	It's like, don't worry, I think you achieved it, whoever you are, Diane Mesa.
	I've never, like, you work in satire, I've never heard of you.
	I've never heard of you.
	That's such an open goal, that comment, I would have tried harder not to be funny.
	It's like, look, you're just, you may as well just say, kick me in the face.
	You know, because that's what's going to happen with that comment.
	Yeah.
	As a satirist, couldn't you satirise GB News in some way?
	Could you be funny?
	Yeah.
	And here we get on to some of the more crazy comics.
	So Ian Stone, great guy, great comedian, well-respected, long-time circuit comedian and headliner.
	And also, he's Jewish.
	And so she's calling him out for being involved with GB News because she has extended Jewish family around North London who most of this channel would see harmed.
	What?
	And I've read the mission statement.
	So they literally think that GB News is essentially the Nazi broadcasting network.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And even though, you know...
	Look at all those people on GB News.
	They'd be supportive of gas chambers.
	Yeah, and even though GB News doesn't say it openly because, you know, we're restricted by Ofcom into not calling for genocide.
	You know, that is one of the things that's a no-no when it comes to broadcast regulation.
	If it wasn't for Ofcom...
	If it wasn't for Ofcom...
	I mean, this is just...
	It blows my mind that somebody can sit there and think that.
	I mean, unless...
	Unless they're just, you know, really in need of some medication.
	That is just insanity.
	Insanity.
	But it...
	The idea at GB News is like, God, I just love Hitler so much!
	And just with those Jews, they just went all around us all the time.
	It's so ridiculous.
	It's absolutely ridiculous.
	No wonder Andrew Neil left.
	Consider it.
	I guarantee you this person voted for Jeremy Corbyn.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Who probably does want to see...
	I mean, he certainly wants to see a lot of harm come to Israeli Jews.
	He's certainly trying to get a job at GB News now, isn't he?
	On a serious note, the Labour Party's attitude and the woke left's attitude to Israel, nobody even knows!
	My ex-girlfriend, she's Muslim, or ex-Muslim, so we're out for a meal with her friends, and one of her friends was just banging on about Israel and Zionism, and I was like, yeah, but...
	She was just discussing it as if Israel had just out of the blue suddenly decided to kick Palestinians out and take their land and all the rest of it.
	And I was like, yeah, but what about the history of Israel being attacked by the countries surrounding it?
	And she just looked at me blankly and I was like, you know, the Six Day War, for example.
	And she was like, what's the Six Day War?
	LAUGHTER So for somebody to have such insanely powerfully held opinions and be completely oblivious to something like that, because when you look at it from Israel's point of view, so all the countries around about Israel were like, we're going to wipe you out, we're going to drive you all into the sea, we're anti-Semitic, we're going to wipe out your race and all your people.
	So all the Palestinians, get out of Israel, because when we've wiped all the Israelis out, all the Israeli Jews out, you're going to return and it's going to be your land.
	And then they went in to wipe out all the Israeli Jews and the Israeli Jews kicked their ass.
	Yes.
	And one, you know, beat them in a war, fair and square.
	Thoroughly as well.
	And then all the Palestinians on the left were like, well, can we come back in now?
	This didn't go the way we expected, but, you know, I left some stuff.
	The arrogance and the gall of that.
	I've got massive sympathy for Palestine.
	I think a lot of what Israel's done is beyond the pale.
	There's terrible things being done on both sides.
	People are always like, why is criticizing Israel anti-Semitic?
	I can explain this very easily.
	There's...
	Human rights abuse is going on on a huge scale across the Middle East, and nobody on the left says anything about it.
	If they say anything about it, it's to defend it.
	The one country where women of equal rights, people of different races of equal rights, gay people of equal rights...
	Man, you're making me join the Palestinian cause with this.
	LAUGHTER I'll be on TV news before you know it.
	It's Israel.
	Israel is the one place for democracy and equality.
	And that's the one place that all the left and all the woke people target.
	And what's the one different thing about Israel?
	Well, it's Jews.
	So that's why it's obviously anti-Semitic.
	Zionism is often used as a dog whistle.
	Yeah.
	You know, in the Labour Party.
	You see it at their conferences.
	You see it as their activists are posting a lot of Twitter.
	It's a dog whistle.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Come on.
	Yeah, and, you know, anybody, you know, with their eyes open can see where the, you know, real hatred and racism in society is.
	Especially as Labour is the party of Islam.
	Like, 90% of British Muslims vote Labour.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right, okay.
	Yeah.
	And that's why the Labour establishment were complicit in covering up Rotherham and Rochdale, because they didn't want to rock the boat and lose any of those boats.
	Of course, what you can do, alienate one of your core constituencies.
	Incidentally, 75% of British Jews vote Conservative, unsurprisingly.
	So yeah, GB News, definitely the home of the genocide of the Jews.
	Yeah, yeah, bizarre.
	And if we go back to the tab we've just skipped.
	So this person has also tweeted at Ian Stone saying, what are you doing?
	You've just signed for a channel that celebrates dead black people.
	Which, I missed this.
	They had a George Floyd mural, did they?
	That's a dead black person that people celebrate.
	That's the thing.
	I mean, we do celebrate Martin Luther King.
	We celebrate Nelson Mandela.
	And they're dead.
	And they're dead.
	I mean, we do celebrate them, but I think they meant it in a different way.
	I know.
	But it just sounds like condemning all of George Floyd's supporters.
	It just blows my mind.
	The idea that people at GB News are going, oh, another black person's died.
	Fucking break out the champagne, guys.
	You know, we've got another one.
	I mean, what a ridiculous caricature these people are.
	Embarrassing.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, and there are other comedians like Ben van der Velde was banging on about it.
	But no good comedians.
	And I think we've sort of reached the point, because really credible comedians are on GB News, it's sort of reached the point where The comedians who are criticising it are really making themselves look quite partisan and lunatic.
	You want Jews and black people dead, do you?
	I knew that because you're on GB News.
	Yeah.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's completely dissociated with reality.
	So I don't actually know if we've got time to do the next bit.
	I should maybe save it for a proper session.
	Yeah, save it for another one.
	Let's get on to the great narrative.
	Cool.
	So, you probably remember the Great Reset that we're currently living through, because for some reason our technocratic masters have control of the entire world and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.
	I don't know why, but we do know what they're planning.
	In fact, let's just watch their propaganda piece.
	It's only about a minute long.
	Let's see.
	there are eight predictions for the world in 2030 and when they say predictions what they're saying is we're working on this and we'll get there in about eight years time so for anyone watching you'll earn nothing and you'll be happy - See?
	Whatever you want, you'll rent and it'll be delivered by drone.
	Brilliant.
	What am I from talking about sex toys?
	The US might be the world's leading superpower.
	A handful of countries will dominate.
	Look at that Turkish flag there.
	You won't die waiting for an organ donor.
	Because they're going to print organs rather than transplanting them.
	You'll eat much less meat.
	No, I won't.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I bloody won't.
	An occasional treat not a staple.
	For the good of the environment and for our health.
	The environment can suck my balls.
	A billion people will be displaced by climate change, which is a real shame for them, and will have to do a better job at welcoming and integrating refugees.
	Isn't that working just brilliantly?
	Polluters will have to pay to emit carbon dioxide, as if carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
	There will be a global price on carbon that will help fossil fuels history.
	And you could be preparing to go to Mars.
	Well, if this is what they are going to be like.
	Scientists have worked out how to keep you healthy in space.
	Why would I want to go to Mars?
	Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.
	How could?
	Checks and balances that underpin our democracies must not be forgotten.
	How about accountability?
	Like, that seems to be the primary value of Western democracies.
	Wait, is this...
	That's what the World Economic Forum put out?
	That's what they put out themselves.
	That wasn't a scary thing saying, this is what the World Economic Forum's going to do.
	No, that was...
	That's them saying it.
	That was their opening move.
	They were like, look, this is what we're going to do.
	Why?
	Why would they do that?
	Why would they?
	That's a great question!
	I mean, if I was going to do something terrible, I'd try and keep it quiet!
	Yes, but they were like, hey, this is a good idea.
	You'll enjoy this.
	It's like, no, I won't.
	You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
	You won't eat meat.
	You won't own anything.
	That is so sinister.
	You'll get rented sex toys from drones.
	Like, enjoy this brilliant future that the world controllers have planned out for you because it's going to be brilliant.
	It's going to be great.
	Drink your Soma.
	There's nothing wrong here.
	And that was their opening gambit a couple of years back.
	They've got a link on their website, of course.
	I'm going to go to the next one, John.
	There are many reasons to pursue a great reset, but the most urgent is COVID-19.
	Right.
	Never let a crisis go to waste.
	Which is, COVID-19 has unfortunately made all this redundant by evolving into Omicron, which is basically nature's vaccine.
	But I mean, how could you say that their plan isn't a kind of global technocratic communism?
	Yeah.
	You'll own nothing, we'll control everything, we're controlled down to what you eat, and it's for the good of you and the good of the environment, and you don't get a choice.
	It's the winnowing away of individual rights, because if you own property, then you're not beholden to anyone else.
	That's right.
	If you rent from someone, they control how much you pay, they can kick you out.
	Yep, exactly.
	There's a contract that you have to abide by.
	You're not the one in control of your own destiny, and that's good for the environment, apparently.
	And so they say the Great Reset Agenda's got three main components.
	The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes.
	Huh?
	You just told me you're going to take away all my property.
	The second would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability.
	Okay, it doesn't sound like something I'm going to be involved in, though.
	And the third and final priority is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	And so people were posting online like, wow, this sounds like an international communist conspiracy by a bunch of people who didn't elect to take over the entire world and take away everything we have.
	And so Reuters fact-check were like, no, debunked!
	What are you talking about?
	Despite the repeated misinformation being shared online about the Great Reset, this sustainability plan proposed by the World Economic Forum is not a secret plot to end private property or create a totalitarian state.
	Well, there we go.
	It's just debunked.
	I mean, they did just say that we're going to take away everything and you're not going to have any privacy or anything.
	But, like, don't worry about it.
	And you can go to this actual article by Reuters, where if you go down to the very bottom, right, this is the conclusion.
	They say this is misleading, this video they're referring to.
	The video includes various references to suggest the COVID-19 pandemic was devised to push forward a new world order envisaged by society's elite.
	There is no evidence this is true.
	Well, I guess if you frame it as the COVID-19 was devised and not simply taken advantage of, you could say that.
	But that's not what I think.
	Well, I mean, maybe this video they're talking about said it.
	I haven't seen that video.
	So they've created a straw man argument to destroy.
	Completely.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you can look at their own website.
	They actually deleted this, but as you can see, this is an archive of the World Economic Forum.
	Welcome to 2030.
	Welcome to my city, or should I say our city.
	I don't own anything.
	I don't own a car.
	I don't own a house.
	I don't own any appliances or clothes, says the author of this.
	I own nothing.
	I have no privacy.
	And terrifyingly, yeah, I have no privacy.
	And privacy is essential.
	And if you think the government, you know, the reason I don't trust the government with my personal information and, you know, knowing everything that I do is the government doesn't trust me.
	Look how they treated Julian Assange when he released all the information.
	If nobody needs any privacy...
	Why do you need any privacy?
	Yeah, why are you trying to arrest Julian Assange?
	Yeah, good question.
	And so this answer was great, right?
	It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense to us in this city.
	This city they've made up, by the way.
	Everything you considered a product has now become service.
	We have access to transportation, accommodation, food, and all the things we need in our daily lives.
	One by one, all these things became free, so it ended up not making much sense for us to own much.
	Once in a while I get annoyed by the fact that I have no real privacy.
	Nowhere can I go and not be registered.
	I know that somewhere everything I do, think or dream of is recorded.
	I just hope nobody will use that against me.
	And this isn't somebody arguing against this, this is somebody saying it's good.
	Because, I mean, history...
	I think we've spoken about this before, but the Netherlands did a census.
	Before the Nazis took control, they did a census of all the population just to provide better services, better targeted services, like the World Economic Forum are suggesting.
	But then when the Nazis came in, they had all the information about where all the Jews were, the gays, and all the rest of it.
	So their genocide was just far more...
	It was faster and more brutal, and they caught and killed more people.
	Modern and industrialised.
	Exactly, yeah.
	But yeah, as John's rightly pointing out, that's written by Ida Orkin, a Member of Parliament for Denmark.
	It's a Danish MP. Right, Jesus.
	Who's like, yeah, I'm going to owe nothing and I'll be happy.
	I'll have no privacy.
	It's like, okay, look, if you're going to have no privacy, just take your clothes off.
	I want to see what you look like.
	Why not?
	You've got no privacy.
	I thought life had never been better.
	Oh, you don't want to do that?
	Oh, you want some privacy?
	That's weird, isn't it?
	You know, it's weird that there's some human need to have some sort of privacy to ourselves.
	I've got no problem with other people giving up all their data and walking around naked in a greenhouse.
	Our society is based on not imposing our values on other people.
	We're our own individual autonomous people.
	We're allowed to have our own private thoughts and dreams and activities.
	Unless we're in Scotland where they've got a hate crime bill that criminalises private conversations in your own home.
	That's true, but thankfully we're not in England run by Hamza Yusuf.
	Anyway, but this is all stuff that's going on.
	So you've got the European e-identity for EU citizens that are coming in.
	So this is just what they're planning to do.
	Create an app or a website that is going to be like a universal digital ID that will do everything from paying your taxes to renting a bicycle.
	Renting a bicycle.
	Not owning a bicycle, renting it.
	But you still pay your goddamn taxes.
	And the UN is, of course, pushing digital IDs as well.
	This is Antonio Guterres, who's like a UN secretary.
	And he's, of course, doing the same thing.
	Well, we want everyone to have...
	We want it to be a digital world.
	Why do we want it to be a digital world?
	Because then the computers can run everything.
	We can have everything tallied.
	We'll know where everything is.
	We'll know where everyone is.
	We'll know what they're thinking.
	And this will deliver a sustainable peace.
	Yeah.
	Because no one will be allowed to do anything.
	If you look at how it is now, Twitter can remove people based on the whim of the oligarchs and the systemically woke systems running Twitter.
	Imagine how worse that would be if it was directly in the hands of the government.
	It's going to be the sort of demolition man brave new world future.
	Yeah.
	Where it's like, oh, anything that's harmful has got to be removed.
	And if there's a particular harmful person, I mean, what are they going to do?
	Liquidate them?
	Yeah.
	You know, this person is just going to be removed from everything.
	And this stuff is used as an excuse to, you know, pursue political ends.
	So...
	So, you know, the whole safety thing and equalities.
	So, Nicola Sturgeon had a rival on the front bench of the Scottish National Party called Joanna Cherry, who's a lesbian and a long-term LGBTQ campaigner.
	So, obviously, you know, quite a woke, decent person.
	Hang on now, we can't say woke and decent anymore.
	From her original meaning of the word.
	And Nicola Sturgeon accused her of transphobia, accused Joanna Cherry of transphobia, and used that as a lever to depose her from the front bench.
	And that was purely purging a political rival.
	That wasn't to make the world a better place.
	So all the politicians and everybody in the system just wants to pursue their own agenda.
	And that's why it's important that we're protecting.
	We have individual rights, and we're not beholden to the government.
	Moreover, the people who rule over us are accountable to us.
	I mean, how are you going to hold Klaus Schwab accountable?
	How are you going to hold this guy accountable?
	Yeah, if you question him, you're deleted.
	You can't even rent a bicycle.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But you've got literally no mechanism of removing from power if they turn into insane autocrats, which is what they are.
	Which is what always happens in any system like this.
	Absolute power does tend to corrupt absolutely.
	Communism takes like a generation or two generations to turn into an absolutely corrupt feudal system.
	I don't even know if it takes that long.
	But it's really bad, and this is where they're going with it.
	But anyway, the vegetarian agenda is in full swing, and you may have seen these adverts everywhere.
	If you can go to the next one, John, you can see that Burger King's got this new plant-based sandwich.
	McDonald's have plant-based burgers.
	KFC have plant-based chicken nuggets.
	Oh yeah, these chicken nuggets.
	Have they got a picture of the chicken nuggets?
	Because somebody posted a picture and they said they look like fried erasers.
	They look absolutely shocking.
	They haven't got the picture of them in here.
	Fuku, that's pretty much what I'd say to them.
	But the point is, you can see this sort of full spectrum agenda.
	All of the big popular fast food places where everyone goes to get their junk food fix, And now, oh, it's just, you know, it's a part of the menu now.
	And you know it's going to start growing until, you know, as they say, well, you know, having meat's a rare treat.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You shouldn't be having meat every day.
	It's bad for the environment.
	You know, you don't want to be a bad citizen, do you?
	Global citizen.
	But then capitalism might save us.
	Because I've noticed, like, going to the shops, going to Marks and Spencers and stuff, they've got all this, like, beyond meat, you know, the meat-free, the plant-based stuff.
	Because it's January and people want to do that in January.
	Nobody's buying it!
	Man, if you want to see full shelves that haven't been affected by the port blockages in California, you want to go to the vegan section of any supermarket.
	I was going to say that, actually.
	I saw floating around Twitter or Getter or somewhere a picture of literally the empty shelves except for the vegan bit, which is full!
	And it's just like, oh my god!
	The meme is real, you know?
	But the point is, why is it that places like Reuters would turn around and say, well, this is just a conspiracy theory.
	There is no grand plan to take away all your stuff and digitize the whole world and make sure that everything about you is completely seen by not just the government, but whatever power exists above the government.
	And that's because Reuters is partnered with the World Economic Forum.
	Go to the next one.
	Literally partnered with them.
	So if you say that this is an evil plan to take over the world, that's debunked.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Also, we're getting paid by the World Economic Forum.
	How can that even be, like, legal, if you know what I mean, for an independent news source to...
	Independent.
	To be partnered with.
	It's like, you know, The Guardian is, well, I think it was you that told me.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then they have this thing, the begging letter at the bottom saying, oh, please donate money because we don't have any, like, you know, big billionaire donors.
	I mean, apart from the one we've got, you know.
	Apart from the guy who was the richest man in all of human history until about 10 years ago.
	You know, apart from him, we're really struggling at The Guardian.
	But the thing is, that's the thing.
	We're not partnered with the World Economic Forum.
	We don't get sponsored by Bill Gates.
	Go sign up at lotuses.com if you'd like to support grassroots work here.
	Especially if you're Bill Gates.
	Especially if you're Bill Gates.
	Unfortunately, the highest tier we've got is £30 a month.
	If you want to see a radical turnaround in the editorial style...
	But we've got absolutely loads and loads of really great stuff on the Great Reset and World Economic Forum on LotusEater.com.
	The easiest way to find it is literally by just Googling LotusEater's World Economic Forum or Great Reset.
	I did it before preparing this and loads and loads.
	Google actually still brings up loads of our articles.
	It won't be long for this world, but there's loads of great stuff because Hugo has been on this really, really And so let's have a quick watch of Klaus Schwab, the Grand Wizard of the World Economic Forum.
	I'm not sure what his official title is.
	But let's see who he's working with, shall we?
	At this pivotal moment, I see several priorities for the global agenda.
	We must continue to fight against the global pandemic.
	We must revitalize the global economy and accelerate its transition to net zero.
	We must preserve biodiversity by deploying nature-based solutions and we must narrow the gap between the rich and the poor to achieve more sustainable global development.
	With these goals in mind, it is my distinct honor and great privilege to introduce His Excellency Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, to open the Davos agenda.
	Oh yeah, this is where Xi Jinping says, oh yeah, all countries should work together.
	And then on the lefties were saying, oh, it doesn't sound like he's a mad scientist.
	It's like, yeah, that's what he's saying.
	He's not going to be like, oh man, I love the smell of burning Uyghur Muslims in the morning.
	You know what I mean?
	He's not going to come out and say the bad stuff he's actually doing.
	He doesn't sound like an evil genocidal dictator.
	Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Hitler really sort of wrong-footed people.
	Like, since Hitler really did sound like an evil genocidal dictator, you know, you sort of watch and you're like, man, how do people vote for this guy?
	He clearly, you know, I mean, he's not even doing it in a fun way.
	But, yeah, like, Xi Jinping.
	With Xi Jinping, even the diktats to his party apparatchiks, they have to read between the lines.
	So the stuff that went out, it was very subtle.
	His instructions to actually commit the genocide against the Uyghurs was very subtly phrased.
	So I guess he wouldn't get...
	But that's the point though, isn't it?
	Klaus Schwab is quite happy to work with this guy.
	Yeah.
	And apparently now, so Xi Jinping is somehow directly connected, intimately connected with the World Economic Forum, which is making all of these radical systemic changes to our societies.
	Yeah.
	Who signed off on that?
	Yeah.
	Now, why are we having our lives completely altered by a genocidal maniac?
	Yeah.
	Somewhere on the other side of the earth.
	And this is coming through, it's not just coming through political means, this is coming through corporations and guidance that goes to corporations.
	Economic, social.
	It's going to be a full space, literally totalitarian.
	Yeah.
	Because the plan is that we own nothing.
	And the stuff that's really hard to stop is the guidance that goes to corporations.
	Because if laws are passed, then they have to be reviewed by Parliament and they're batted around and disgusted.
	Yeah, yeah, really scrutinised.
	Whereas advice, like the advice that goes to HR departments, who recently...
	HR departments and corporations in the UK recently received advice around how facial expressions can be racist.
	So, you know...
	So, I mean, if that had gone through Parliament, it would have been picked apart by smart people.
	My face is racist, oh God!
	It's just my face, man!
	You sneeze or you get a twitch or something and all of a sudden you're up in front of a tribunal for racism!
	How is that any way objectively measurable or policeable or practical?
	But, you know, this is the stuff that's coming through.
	I just had a bad curry last night, I swear to God.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Anyway, so the problem, though, is, as you said at the beginning, well, is that really, is that not like a hit job on The Great Reset?
	That's actually their opening gambit.
	That makes it look like a tyrannical conspiracy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they're like, yeah, it does.
	And so we need something that is going to persuade people that it's not a tyrannical conspiracy theory.
	And we're going to call this the Great Narrative.
	Yeah.
	This is going to be the great lie, the great way of controlling people by persuading them that actually everything's good.
	Is he calling it the great narrative?
	Yes.
	Oh my, what?
	Because he's a villain.
	What's he thinking?
	Like, don't call it a, like, something should be a truth.
	Something should be, like, it shouldn't be a narrative that we're trying to, like, tease and, you know, put into people's minds.
	It should just be facts.
	He's literally a Bond villain.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He doesn't understand that he's evil.
	Yeah, but at least Bond villains made their bases, their secret bases with the missiles look like volcanoes.
	He'd just make it look like an actual big nasty missile looking thing and he'd call it the big nasty missile launching thing.
	Welcome to the Fortress of Doom.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Klaus Schwab plans The Great Reset through The Great Narrative.
	Make sure you could see it on Google Maps.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, unbelievable.
	But anyway, so Klaus Schwab and Thierry Mallaret wrote a sequel to The Great Reset called The Great Narrative.
	And this is literally about how they're going to control the way people think about The Great Reset.
	And it's like, goddamn, you're just evil, aren't you?
	Just come out and just say, yeah, well, we are terrible.
	But thankfully, Hugo has done a fantastic article talking about this.
	It's a premium article and there's an audio track if you want to go and listen to it where he explains the detail of the plan of the great narrative because honestly we don't have time in this segment I'm afraid.
	I thought we would have but honestly it's just too villainous for words.
	But this is literally what they've been planning the whole time and they're just looking for a way to make this more palatable to the public through this great narrative rather than Telling you the truth.
	Because, I mean, they did come out and tell you the truth, and then you're just like, oh, that's an evil plan to take over the world then.
	It's like, okay, no, that's not the framing we were looking for.
	But that is what they're doing.
	So be aware that this is coming down the pipeline.
	You're probably seeing it all around you now.
	You've probably seen the advertisements for eco-friendly plant food and the fact that you don't need your privacy and your data is not yours and all that sort of stuff.
	And this is a plan that's in action right now, and they're doing it.
	So let's go to the video comments.
	To answer your question about why cancer is stigmatized historically, I do believe it's mostly because of the fact that it's a wasting disease.
	It was a mysterious disease.
	There wasn't any cause of effect, or there wasn't a vector that people could identify that would give you cancer.
	It was considered shameful because there was no explanation for it, and a lot of people attribute it to having done something sinister or evil.
	and you were being punished by God.
	Of course, it's probably more complicated than that, but I'm pretty sure that's the majority reason why people were ashamed of getting cancer. - That's good reasoning, actually.
	When he told us that cancer was historically stigmatized, I'm like, why?
	It's not transmissible or anything.
	But then I'm not thinking like someone from 700 years ago.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, this is a stigma from, you know, you've been cursed by God because you've obviously done something.
	It's like, dude.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, because people used to assign anything.
	You know, the milk and the cows goes sour, and it's like witches.
	Witches cast a spell in it.
	Yeah, but you don't know it wasn't witches.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah, everybody criticizes the burning of witches, but it did wonderful things for the levels of nagging.
	So just having that fear in the population.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	There's some unintended benefits.
	Let's go to the next one.
	We keep talking about English and French republicanism.
	However, is there a German republicanism?
	Some thinker may have thought of it.
	As for America, it is designed inside as a constitutional republic.
	On the outside, it is a monarchy.
	The nice thing about the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, which Robert Gouveia is summarizing, is that it retains the traditional element in the argumentations for it.
	Yeah, so this is quite a long...
	I've never heard of anything that approaches German republicanism and...
	I wouldn't want to.
	I suspect that they just imported someone else's republicanism into their republic.
	But, you know, I mean, it's quite a long subject.
	I don't want to go into it, like, now, because it'll take forever.
	But there is the view that, essentially, the American republic wasn't anything innovative, and that's why it looks like a republican gloss over essentially monarchical structures.
	I mean, they have, like, a sergeant-at-arms, as David Saki is fond of pointing out.
	In one of their houses, it's like, a sergeant at arms?
	What the hell's that?
	That's a medieval position where it's like a guard of the king.
	Why would you have that in a republic?
	Because you're not really a republic.
	What you are is a veneer.
	And so basically imposing like republican institutions, well, theoretically republican institutions on the American people is essentially like just imposing Englishness on the English.
	It's in their blood anyway.
	They already agree with it.
	It's what they already think.
	And so it was just essentially a way of setting up an independent state.
	But with no real difference.
	I mean, there's still common law.
	They're still, you know, they hold all of the sort of fundamental English values that they went over there with.
	And they argued for their rights as Englishmen against taxation without representation.
	It's like, you know, so it's not like in France where they're like, right, we need full spectrum changes of everything.
	It's like, God, you lunatics.
	So it was kind of a formality in a way.
	So what happened to the German royal family?
	They weren't, like, killed?
	I would have to ask Bo.
	I'd have to go and look it up.
	I'm not sure.
	But in fact, I'm pretty sure it's going to be Napoleon invades Germany and ends the Holy Roman Empire.
	I bet it's something around there.
	But I'm not an expert there, so I'll have to ask Bo.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Carl, in response to your monarchy discussion, if your claim is that a tradition-based monarchy is superior to a republic...
	How would you propose a government like that be started in the modern day?
	Or is it impossible given how thoroughly people have been conditioned in the West to reject a rule by a single ruler?
	I don't think I said it was superior.
	What I was arguing is that Americans generally mischaracterize monarchies because they think that the monarch is like some autocrat.
	Right, yeah, yeah.
	And that's just not true.
	Yeah.
	Constitutions and all that sort of thing.
	There is some political influence, but they're really there as a stable thing and an institution for people to look to.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But that does legitimately raise the question, how do you begin a monarchy?
	And the answer is war.
	Some guy with an army conquers somewhere and takes it over and says, I'm the king, and because no one can say any different or they get shot or stabbed or whatever, that's how the monarchy begins.
	That's how all monarchies begin.
	I'm not saying you can start a monarchy in the modern era.
	I mean, I suppose you could have an elected monarchy, but who's going to vote for someone to be the king?
	Well, this sounds weird, doesn't it?
	Yeah.
	Even though there have been elective monarchies in the past, but it's always because there's been an institution and you need someone to fill it.
	Right, yeah.
	But without the institution, it would be strange to construct it.
	But that's not to say that it doesn't have any value, because obviously, excuse me, it wouldn't have lasted so long if it didn't have value, etc., etc.
	So I'm not saying you can, really.
	Let's go to the next one.
	It's a dinosaur egg.
	The dinosaurs...
	Our breeding.
	They used frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps.
	They mutated the dinosaur genetic code and blended it with that of frogs.
	What am I watching?
	That's enough internet for to do.
	Yeah.
	I was expecting this to be something about transgender dinosaurs, which I've actually heard people are now starting to go for.
	Right.
	Yeah, they're trying to, like, Jurassic Park's a trans allegory.
	Because they're all supposed to be male or female or something.
	And then some of them transition to be able to breed.
	Because some amphibians do that, don't they?
	They use frog DNA. That was the justification in the story.
	Because in an environment where it's just female frogs, someone will just spontaneously transform.
	Well, genetic manipulation has become incredibly sophisticated.
	There's a guy who had a pig's heart transplanted into him recently and they altered the genes of the pig heart so it would have his DNA in it so it would be less likely to be rejected and they also removed genes that would cause it to be rejected so it reduces the amount of anti-rejection drugs he's got to take which obviously makes him healthier.
	Honestly, the only good thing about the Great Reset is printing of organs, I think.
	It takes on my DNA, print me one of my organs and then install it.
	That's actually a good idea.
	I want two new legs.
	I'd like a few organs.
	I've probably smoked a lot, probably drunk a lot.
	I want a couple of extra inches on my liver.
	Honestly, I'd like a few muscle replacements if we can do that.
	I've got a few aches and pains around that I wouldn't mind replaced.
	Well, they're bound to have super healthy steroids as well.
	Because steroids are just a hormonal thing and it's just when they go wrong that you get the ill effects so we could all get ripped.
	I'm not against that.
	I just don't want to be stopped eating meat and have the government spying on me when I'm taking a piss.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I'm always worried how much Alex is reading.
	I'm assuming there's stuff on his bookshelf, because if he's getting through these books so fast, I'm kind of scared.
	After Carl requested audience book clubs, I thought I'd struggle to keep one going, as I never considered myself much of a reader.
	But it turns out I have read quite a bit, and some of value.
	Instead of anime, I'd appreciate book reviews from other Lotus Eaters.
	I'll look forward to Callum's forthcoming review on Active Measures and shelve my own.
	But even if I have introduced a book you find particularly interesting, you should still do it justice with a full Lotus Eaters book club.
	We will.
	The next one I'm doing is Discourse on Inequality by Rousseau, because he's bonkers.
	Apparently, according to Rousseau, primitive man, we're all just running around in the woods, just alone, just with the animals.
	Obviously not.
	And he's like, I can't see why man would need another man in the state of nature.
	I mean, you don't see monkeys and wolves hanging out, do you?
	Apart from the fact that they're pack animals.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You can't find them not hanging out.
	What are you talking about, idiot?
	But yeah, so I'm going to do Rousseau's Discourses of Inequality.
	I just watched Marie Antoinette.
	It's a pretty terrible film, but she mentions, and I don't know if it's influenced by, if she's quoting Rousseau, but she mentions Primitive Man.
	She's got this idealised, because Marie Antoinette obviously had an idealised...
	A vision of the slums and everything.
	You had fake slums recreated in the grounds of the Versailles Palace.
	And early man as well.
	People always have this romanticised, especially romanticised visions of indigenous peoples or aboriginals.
	And quite obviously, aboriginals would do...
	Terrible things for each other.
	Or leave when people got too old to keep up with it.
	Leave them to die!
	So it wasn't this Avatar.
	It wasn't this perfect little Ferngully existence.
	This is the difference.
	Rousseau's like, no, no, no.
	He was not evil or anything.
	He was great.
	And that's the French view.
	And then you've got the English view, which is man is horrible.
	Man is brutal and he needs to be civilized.
	He needs to be whipped into obedience because otherwise he's a bad person.
	Which one was right?
	That's all I'm saying!
	It's a very pessimistic view from the English side, but that's true.
	Don't bullshit me.
	Don't BS me with you like, oh, but man was perfect.
	He sat around eating nuts under her, acorns under her.
	No, he didn't.
	He was cracking open skulls and sucking out the goop.
	He was awful.
	Don't give me this crap.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	So the first thing that I do when I tie in an electrical panel is try and lay out the wires in an orderly fashion so that I have a roughly even amount of wires on each side of the panel.
	Then I enter them all in in a tidy way and label them as necessary so that I can tell which wire is for which circuit after I have stripped them all.
	I can watch people just making stuff.
	Yeah, that was really satisfying.
	Yeah, right?
	Because it was a big mess at the beginning, and now it's not.
	Ugh.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Looks like a gun.
	I don't know how many of you lads are into 3D printing and stuff, but if you are, go check out Control Pew's latest file drop.
	You might find something a little fun.
	Turn your VPNs on.
	You don't want the ATFs and all that you're downloading canned bean holders.
	I think, legally, I think I might have to disavow that.
	But I have been tempted to get a 3D printer because of all the Warhammer stuff I've been buying.
	I'm thinking, okay, cost-wise.
	But the thing is, I'm a bit of an incompetent when it comes to technology, so I probably wouldn't get it right.
	I'm going to get a 3D printer and use it to print a 3D printer and then send back the one I bought and then I've got a free 3D printer!
	What prevents that?
	I don't know.
	Honestly, I mean, legit question.
	How do they stop that from happening?
	I don't know.
	Maybe it's an NFT. But yeah, it's also amusing that capitalism has allowed people to seize the means of production.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Hey guys, I hope Karl is present for this one actually because something's been sitting on me for a while and I think he would appreciate hearing this.
	The only sports I follow closely is MMA and I can probably name over the top of my head around 12 female MMA fighters who have OnlyFans accounts or some sort of analog of an OnlyFans account.
	And it just boggles my mind.
	At what point did it become so socially acceptable to have an OnlyFans account that professional athletes nowadays apparently have them?
	That's wild, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	I mean, I guess the thing is, when you're watching sports like volleyball or female MMA, you're sort of objectifying them.
	So it kind of makes sense for them to have only fans accounts.
	But it is wild how it's just like, yeah, well, you know, I'm an MMA fighter and part-time amateur pornographer.
	Yeah.
	You know, I make amateur porn films on the side, and it's just totally normal, and, you know, sign up to my OnlyFans.
	Yeah.
	It's just weird.
	Well, if people wanted to pay me 30 grand a month to look at my butthole, like, I would be on OnlyFans.
	I'm not saying I can't understand the temptation.
	It's just one of the ways men are discriminated against.
	One of the many ways.
	It just goes to show that equality is just a lie.
	It's not true that men and women are equal.
	Women have got so many more advantages.
	Equal wages.
	Equal wages across OnlyFans.
	Wealth redistribution, I think, is what we're talking about.
	Let's go to the next one.
	To answer Callum's question yesterday, short answer, no, I don't believe in ghosts, but it reminded me of a TV producer who contacted me years ago when I was doing the Jersey Devil comic.
	They were doing a documentary on the Jersey Devil, and I gave him my bona fides, I knew all the folklore, and he said, yeah, but have you seen the Jersey Devil?
	And I was like, no, but you believe in the Jersey Devil, right?
	And I was like, listen, I'm not crazy.
	Dude, I think that's a...
	Look, if you're in a business deal with some lunatic, and he's like, you believe in ghosts, you've seen the Jersey Devil, you go, yeah, of course I have.
	How do you think I know all this stuff?
	Let's go to the next one.
	Omicron!
	A new strain of coronavirus that has affected everybody, but has killed no one.
	Oh!
	He asked Dr.
	Fauci what he thinks, and his response was scary.
	The criticism of my vaccine has left me scarred.
	I and forth will silence all who divulges me for the safety of our society.
	Excellent.
	Right, so, Justin says...
	Honestly, it might.
	At this point, it probably is.
	Pirate Skeleton says, anyone who honestly thinks Biden is doing better than expected must have started with an extremely low opinion.
	At least he didn't crap himself and die.
	He's doing better than I expected.
	Yeah, that's 6% of people who think he's doing better.
	I mean, that's probably like the government.
	I think that falls within margin of error.
	That's just people who misread the question.
	Yeah.
	M1 Ping says the most popular man in human history suddenly has no mandate.
	Curious.
	Edward says, I love how they can't even pretend to be the party of the people.
	No, lay back, have a beer, watch the game, come back fighting.
	Jen Psaki, representative for Margaritaville.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's like upper class women.
	That's what they represent.
	I love it.
	Baron Von Moorcock says, I think it's quite jarring after such a complete disaster of a year.
	The only solution the Biden regime can come up with is to tell the American people to drink until they forget the disaster they've created.
	Also, I want to point out that most of us can't afford margaritas and have to make do with cheap gas station beers.
	It's a cruel joke without a punchline.
	I just find it amazing.
	And the Mary Antoinette thing, I think, is the most, you know, let them drink margaritas.
	So yeah, they would love to, Jen.
	They would love to.
	Harry says, most administrations with this level of public dislike would stop and rethink their options, but not this one.
	Well, that's interesting, isn't it?
	Well, they're talking about Hillary coming back to challenge Trump in, like, round two, like Deontay versus, you know, Fury.
	Why?
	Is there literally no one in the Democratic Party more likable than the least liked woman in all of human history?
	Yeah.
	Well, they've just dropped the ball.
	Previously, like Obama, like for all his flaws, he was incredibly charismatic and likeable and, you know, competent.
	And, you know, especially the sort of presenteeism side of being president.
	He's like the Tony Blair of American politics.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	So, they had the option this time around with Tulsi, but they didn't.
	They went with the sort of incumbent, the people who'd been pushed, so, you know, Clinton, and then the next time around...
	The sort of old money, isn't it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	The old families, you know, the Bushes and the Clintons, that sort of...
	And Biden as well.
	He'd been in the system for so many decades and still, you know, he'd never...
	I mean, alright, he was vice president, but, you know, the fact that...
	He'd been a senator for like 50 years or something.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's like, really, is there no one in America who has an idea that Democrats can be like, Yeah, okay.
	We'll go for that guy.
	No.
	Somebody who's young with some vigor.
	I mean, I'm not talking young, young, but Tulsi Cabra's what, mid-40s?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Just someone below 60.
	That's too much to ask.
	Somebody who I can imagine eyeballing Putin in a fight, in an actual physical fight between Putin and...
	You know what I mean?
	It's ridiculous.
	Chris says, why is the press secretary advocating for activism?
	Why is the government fueling its own self-flagellation?
	Well, that's a good question.
	Speak Ons Mind says, well, the media got what they wanted, the removal of Trump, and now they're throwing sleepy Brandon to the wolves.
	The media aren't waking up about Biden, but most likely changing their message and who they support.
	Yeah, but it's the fact that he's just so enrounded with opposition.
	Even his support structures are like, actually, you do suck.
	We couldn't keep up this grift forever.
	How did you mess this up?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And if the media have got themselves to blame, and big tech as well, suppressing the Hunter Biden stories, they really sort of enabled Biden to get into power.
	It should have been somebody with a cleaner slate.
	But the media's paid a high price as well.
	I mean, look at their ratings.
	They've just been tanking.
	Joe Rogan has just got his hairy nuts on all their faces.
	But how publicly humiliating is that?
	Joe Rogan got Dr.
	Malone on to talk about vaccines, and now we have to scramble and have every left-wing outlet pump out the same story about vaccines to get half of Joe Rogan's audience.
	And it's like, God, you losers.
	You're losing to just a guy who does a podcast because he thinks it's fun.
	How do you suck this badly?
	Anyway, my prediction, Speak One's Mind says, is give it a month or two and they might start doing praise pieces on Kamala while the Biden regime starts collapsing under the pressure of their cock-ups.
	You know, I hope they do because Kamala Harris is massively unpopular and has been.
	She's less popular than Joe Biden.
	So it's like, okay, yeah, do her.
	It's her turn.
	Go on.
	Let's see Kamala Harris go against Trump.
	Trump is going to demolish all of it.
	But anyway, Noodle Rich says, Headliners reminded me of Have I Got News For You.
	Extremely refreshing to see this and crazy that it's on a news channel.
	Yeah, it looks like fun.
	You know?
	You remember that?
	Fun?
	Yeah.
	You're allowed to make jokes about things.
	God, can you imagine?
	Edward said, Got a really great lineup, honestly.
	Simon Evans is quite a good choice.
	I love his stand-up.
	I loved his brief foray into doing an economic show on the BBC Radio.
	Honestly, I was quietly hoping he was based.
	Also, it's good to see Dominic Frisbee being brought in.
	Love his YouTube material.
	Robert says, The denizens of Twitter need to list their pronouns in their bio simply because you can't tell what kind of blob they are.
	No, that's...
	That's a legit point, actually.
	That's a legit point.
	I went through, like, especially the last one when I was getting slagged off of the Radio 4 thing, every single one, they were all so ugly.
	They were all so ugly.
	And, yeah, like, these fat blobs and, like, you know, all with the blue hair and the nose piercings and all the rest of it.
	But, yeah, and also, you know, they've got all that stuff.
	They think they're the kind people.
	And because they're the kind, virtuous people...
	It means that they're justified in being horrible to other people because the other people deserve the horribleness because they're not virtuous.
	So it's an ironic twist that justifies being horrible.
	But yeah, it's great they list their pronouns in their bio so you know exactly the gender of the person who's telling you to die in a grease fire.
	But he also has a great point there, because I actually do identify a person's gender or sex by looking at physical characteristics about them.
	If they're shaped like a woman, I think, well, that's a woman.
	If they're shaped like a man, I think that's a man.
	If they're an indiscernible blob, how am I supposed to know?
	It's a great point.
	Free Will says, a lot of these culture warriors know nothing about music, films, games, or comedy because they spend all their time criticizing stuff.
	And how could they like anything as the list of what they object to is so extensive?
	Absolutely.
	They don't know how to create, they only know how to destroy.
	Benjamin says, Klaus Schwab is a facial scar on a lap cat away from being a Bond villain.
	Why is anyone listening to him?
	That's a really great question.
	I have no idea why all of our world leaders have bent the knee to Klaus Schwab.
	And all of our corporations have bought into this forum and they're donating money to it, like it's an economic stonewall.
	It is an economic stonewall.
	I don't know how he's got this leverage over them.
	You know, what's he threatening you with, guys?
	Where's the orbital laser, is all I'm saying.
	Barrowman Walker again says, you'll learn nothing and you'll be happy.
	Do you know what we call someone who works but owns nothing?
	A slave.
	Good point.
	Good point.
	So what else do you call it?
	Yeah.
	Robert again says, it's not your city if you don't own anything there.
	This will allow you the freedom to move around with no attachments like a wage slave, moving around to where the work is.
	Remember, if you own nothing, if you rent everything, they own you.
	Yep.
	AlcibiadesNut says, this is not a secret ploy by the elite to take over the world.
	Correct.
	It's not a secret.
	That's a great point.
	It's completely out in the open.
	Chet says, the great reset.
	You'll learn nothing and you'll be happy.
	You'll have myocarditis and you'll be happy.
	You'll have kids with vaccine-invused autoimmune disorders which are attacking their internal organs and you'll be happy.
	You'll be fired for your job from refusing to have the forced medication upon you and you'll lose your ability to provide for yourself and your family and you'll be effing happy.
	Yeah, I know.
	It sounds more and more like a threat, isn't it?
	Like, you know, not happy?
	Well, we're going to inject you with something.
	It's already coming for NHS workers.
	My friend, she works for the NHS. She caught coronavirus before there were vaccines because she was working in a hospital, you know, keeping everybody safe.
	She then caught coronavirus again, and she's had long COVID from the first time.
	And she's concerned about conflicts.
	You know, there's problems with, if you've got long COVID, then having the vaccine, there can be problems.
	And also she's got natural immunity from having COVID twice, so she doesn't really need to be vaccinated, but she's going to be fired in April if she doesn't get the vaccine.
	What's the point?
	Exactly.
	You need a vaccine, why?
	So you've got antibodies against the disease you've already had?
	And what a way to thank people who risk their lives.
	Well, there are heroes, Leo.
	There are heroes.
	Now you're fired.
	Hell, stop being heroes.
	By just firing them.
	Probably Clapper on the way out, you know?
	As she's doing a TikTok video out of the door.
	Anon says, as part of the great future Switzerland is getting suicide booths.
	Reminds me of Futurama.
	Yeah, I mean, I saw that.
	Literally 3D printed suicide booths.
	Really?
	Yeah, because, I mean, if you're living in this wonderful utopia where you're happy all the time, you don't earn everything, at some point you're going to want to f***ing kill yourself, aren't you?
	Yeah, well, when the state tells you to.
	Yeah.
	When it's time.
	Well, I know.
	It could be voluntarily killing yourself, you know.
	It's just, look, we'll just make things so dire that you'll be like, do I need another soma injection or do I just want to die?
	Mm-hmm.
	You know, so this is the great, it's not going to be, you know, what wonderful thing am I going to do with my life?
	What business am I going to build?
	Am I going to have kids and live on a farm or something?
	No, it's how much summer are I going to eat or how am I going to die?
	You know, these are the future, the future choices of global man.
	Anyway, Speak One's Mind said, I showed a friend of mine the Great Reset video and they thought it seemed like a good idea.
	Your friend is part of the problem, mate.
	Your friend is part of the problem.
	My counsel to his opinion was, if we don't own any property, who are we renting the property from?
	Someone has to own something in order to rent out to the people.
	He suddenly realized the major flaws and concerns of the Great Reset.
	Yes, because you're going to be the slaves.
	You are literally going to be the serfs on the plantation.
	That's why nobody wanted to live under communism, even though it's great.
	Look, you get this free housing, you get this free whatever it is, you know?
	Well, you literally get free rationed food.
	I saw a post going around talking about the amount of rations the Poles got under communism.
	It's something like 2.5 kilograms of meat a month.
	I eat that a day.
	What are you talking about?
	I'm not eating that.
	And also to get the nice stuff, it instantly became this sort of feudal system with black markets where, you know, trading sex for whatever.
	So it turned, everybody had to become a criminal.
	To survive under it.
	So it broke that, you know, people had to lie to each other, had to lie to the state.
	So it broke, you know, almost deliberately broke a lot of social bonds.
	Absolutely.
	There's an economist who was living under Nazi Germany, but it's the same principle because it's still a command economy.
	Whereas, like, corruption becomes a liberating force.
	You know, you can actually do things when you become corrupt, and that forces everyone to become corrupt if they want to be free.
	It's like, can't we have it the other way around?
	You know, the corrupt people are the people who are doing something wrong when the free people are the ones who are going about their lives as normal.
	That would be much better, wouldn't it?
	Yeah.
	It's like in 1984 when he says, I want everyone corrupt.
	Yeah.
	When everyone's debauched, who's going to point the finger and say, you're a bad person?
	Well, you are too.
	Now we're all bad people.
	Brilliant.
	The Soviets did it, everyone's forced to live a lie.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And keeping everybody under fear.
	Apparently 42% of denunciation.
	So people used to denounce each other under the Nazis.
	Yeah.
	And 42% were fake.
	They were just, I don't like him.
	His hedge is too tall or whatever it is.
	Or he was looking at my wife, so I'm going to denounce him as a collaborator or whatever it was.
	Secret communist or Jew or something.
	The Nazis knew that this system of denunciation was flawed, but they kept it because it kept the population in line.
	Everybody was ruled by fear.
	Fear of each other and also fear of the authority and what the authority could do.
	Exactly.
	You don't want to be you next, do you?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I think that's all we've got time for, so thank you everyone for joining us.
