	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 24th of March 2022.
	I'm I'm joined by Leo.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about harsher punishments for white kids in the name of equity, Supreme Court justice, supporting critical race theory and child porn.
	If that's the hill the left wants to die on, fine.
	And also, real videos are Russian disinformation, at least according to the Ministry of Defence, which I think we're going to enjoy because a funny prank call that happened.
	But without further ado, new stuff on the website we should mention first, of course.
	So if we get this up, this is the first thing here being Why Property Matters by Thomas Dowling, which is an analysis piece here.
	I believe this one is free as well on letishis.com, so do go and check that out.
	Here's the next one.
	We have our rolling coverage of Ukraine still, of course, from John, who has been keeping up with the details on the ground, extreme detail about where everything is and what's going on.
	So do go and check that out.
	We're on day 27 now.
	I know you're hearing anything from a friend of the pod, Miles, is it Rutledge?
	Miles Rutledge.
	Yeah, the mad lad himself.
	Yeah.
	Last I asked of him, he was going to go and check out that suspected biolab in Odessa to confirm if it's real or not.
	So we don't know, but I'm sure he's up to some hijinks either way.
	So do go and check that out.
	If we go to the next one, there is a premium hangout here that we did yesterday, me and Carl.
	What is Britishness?
	The difference between British and British and English.
	It's funny.
	The left is essentially, well, has been, and as we demonstrated here, trying to carve off Britishness as something separate from the English.
	I was like, that's interesting.
	So they're two distinct categories in which the English are not part of the British instead.
	And Britishness is usually seen as negative.
	It's working class, it's nationalistic, it's patriotic.
	Well, in this context, it was actually about the difference between Imperial Britain and England and the Britons, as in the people who live on these islands.
	This is the Imperial Empire and whatnot.
	At least that's the narrative that we were going through there.
	Anyway, so go and check that one out.
	That one's premium, so you'll have to sign up, of course, to get access to that one.
	And the last thing to mention, which you definitely have to sign up for, is the Gold Tier Zoom call as well.
	So come and join us.
	I believe this is tomorrow at 3.30 UK time, in which we'll be hanging out with the Gold Tier subscribers and just having fun, taking questions, as we usually do.
	So do come and enjoy.
	Otherwise, no further ado.
	Let's get into the US schools using RapeLogic.
	So American schools have decided they're going to use rape gang logic within their own schools.
	Use what logic?
	Rape gang logic.
	What's this?
	I've never been in a rape gang.
	So we had the rape gang.
	I've always been a solo operator.
	No, I'm joking.
	We've had the rape gang crisis throughout the UK, endlessly, and the logic was always, don't speak out because that'll harm diversity.
	This reference that, well, it's their culture, therefore we'll let them do it.
	Right.
	Well, that logic is now being implemented within at least Washington schools.
	Right.
	So, let's go through this.
	This first article here, Washington states to implement race-based school discipline.
	White students should receive harsher punishments in the name of equity.
	So tolerant, so progressive.
	While many states have adopted legislation to push back against critical race theory and its application in education, Washington state is going in the opposite direction.
	A new education policy seeks to establish educational equity and dismantle institutional racism.
	The aim of that policy is to ensure equal outcome across racial and cultural lines, meaning that race would determine the severity of the school's discipline.
	This policy, as well as a similar measure that promotes cultural competence for educators, was passed by a Democrat-controlled legislator and governor in what is a deep blue state.
	the point we made there.
	The article there that, of course, this only happens in extreme blue areas because the red areas right now are all going nuts trying to get rid of critical race theory because, well, stuff like this.
	Well, yeah, and also, I mean, I think it's been Kemi Badenoch, you know, has basically almost illegalized critical race theory in UK institutions, but it's still being pursued and it's still informing a lot of HR practices, education practices.
	So in the UK, Kemi Baden-Ock, the equalities minister, has outlawed it for schools, but within our society we still have these problems as well.
	It's not just the Americans.
	But this one is directly in a school in which if you're a white kid and you do something wrong, you're going to get worse punishment because weird textbook says so.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	What did he do specifically?
	He was born four years ago.
	He's born in 2018.
	Right.
	But he has to be punished worse because of historical slavery.
	Because of the structural privileges that he enjoys because of his whiteness, which break down on an individual level, obviously.
	Because on an individual level, many other factors can be more important and have more of an influence over somebody's life than just their race.
	There's class, there's money, there's all kinds of things.
	What happens if they're Asian as well?
	Because then they're super white.
	Because they're doing even better than the white kids.
	So they're like uber-white.
	Yeah.
	Gotta take that into account as well.
	Anyway, the Washington State School Directors Association provided training to the state school boards for enforcing the new bill, which is ESSB 5044.
	The bill is described as an act relating to equity, cultural competence, and dismantling institutional racism in the public school system.
	And of course, Libs of TikTok, doing great work, she does.
	She has a clip in which we can actually see the discussion and vote on this in a local school board here at Clover Park.
	So, let's play this, because it's mind-boggling.
	Can I ask the question, too, of cultural discipline, if we could get an example of what that might look like?
	Essentially, they're referring there that you look at, are you dispersing discipline across the ethnicities, the racial groups, equitably, right?
	So are you disciplining African American boys more than you're disciplining white boys, right?
	Are you paying attention to all of that in your data?
	Disaggregating your data and they're looking at it.
	So they're looking for that kind of review of data, not just the numbers, right?
	You put out 80 kids today.
	No, that's not what they're asking.
	Of those 80 kids, what are their backgrounds, ethnicity, that sort of thing, and being competent in that way about it.
	Do you need me to clarify?
	Could you please clarify?
	Okay so yes would be that you're accepting the policies and no would be that you're not accepting the policies.
	Yes please.
	David Anderson?
	No.
	Paul Wagner?
	No.
	Carol Jacobs?
	Yes.
	Alyssa Anderson Pearson?
	Yes.
	So that's the vote there.
	The two white men over there said no, the one white man and the two women voted four.
	That's how that went as well.
	I literally just described to them, yes, okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to get the data of who you've disciplined and then break it down by race and culture and decide if you've done a good job.
	Not based on has the child done anything wrong worthy of discipline, but just what was their race.
	Yeah.
	And certainly a million miles away from what Martin Luther King spoke about when he said people should be judging the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.
	This is explicitly judging people in the colour of their skin.
	Yeah.
	Which is something that used to be considered racist.
	Well, it's actually something the critical racers implicitly say they don't want, is Martin Luther King's vision of the future.
	Yeah.
	I mean, they throw him under the bus completely and say, no, no, no, back to segregation vote.
	Well, yeah, and there's also a lot of rationalisation that goes on that says, well, Martin Luther King said other things in other speeches and, you know, that's not what he meant at that point.
	But, I mean, that's certainly the...
	That's how his world will be remembered.
	Yeah, that's certainly the, you know, the point that seemed to resonate with people because it made sense and it was fair and it was a good vision for the future.
	It was liberal, wasn't it?
	Yeah.
	You can even call it conservative as well.
	You can have a conservative view on race that also accepts that.
	Not a socialist one, because you get unequal outcomes, such as more kids getting disciplined who are not white or white, and therefore there's a disparity that needs to be quote-unquote fixed.
	So if we go to the next one, we can see another article reporting on this.
	So Washington schools adopt race-based discipline.
	Wonderful.
	The culturally responsive policy...
	Impacts every Washington school district after Democrats passed a law institutionalizing critical race theory in student discipline.
	Again, not in schools.
	It's not in schools, folks.
	It's just in the discipline procedure and in the classroom and in all the teacher training.
	But okay, it's not in schools.
	At times, the meeting was contentious as two board members argued it's wrong to use race to determine punishment.
	I mean, I don't know why that deserves a clap these days, but apparently it does, because the opposite is so prevalent in these areas, at least.
	The district is majority-minority as well, with 28% of the students being white, apparently.
	So I don't know if that also impacted why they decided to do this.
	According to the policy, disruptive students may face exclusionary as well as positive and supportive forms of discipline.
	I don't know what that means.
	What's a positive form of discipline?
	I presume he's saying that.
	We're going to exclude the white kid, but then I'm going to give the black kid who did it a cookie because he's culturally meant to be able to do these things?
	Yeah.
	I mean, again, not my words.
	These guys' words.
	I don't know.
	Mad.
	Okay.
	To make student discipline outcomes more equitable, the policy must meet individual student needs in a culturally responsive manner via culturally responsive discipline.
	Very fancy way of saying, yeah, but he is black.
	Therefore, we won't discipline that student.
	I mean, it's not just blacks, of course, as well.
	It's all other students except, presumably, Asians, because they're super white.
	They're not allowed in Harvard because they're too white.
	So, that makes sense.
	If we go to the next one, we can see a definition of cultural competence, at least within, as you can see, Washington State's legislature now.
	1.
	Cultural competence includes knowledge of a student's cultural histories and contexts, as well as family norms and values in different cultures, knowledge and skills in accessing community resources and parent outreach, and skills in adapting instruction to students' experiences and identifying cultural contexts for individual students.
	This is, I mean, when I was at school, there was a craze of doing poos in places that were visible from the classroom.
	What?
	So people, somebody did a poo on top of a fire hydrant.
	You mean you took a dump?
	Yeah, took a dump.
	But we call it a poo.
	Right.
	Because it's YouTube.
	Just wanted to make sure.
	Yeah, so pooing, you know what pooing is, right?
	Yeah, but just, I didn't do that in school, in public places, but alright.
	Well, yeah, not in public, but we do it so the poo would be visible.
	How?
	How is this a bizarre concept to you?
	We were at school.
	You're supposed to do stuff like that at school.
	But anyway, so we got in trouble for it because we were pooing around the school doing poos on the roof and stuff where you could look out, you know, you looked out at chemistry and you could see this poo.
	It was very funny.
	Honestly, it was funny.
	Right, so under this policy, we would have said, well, you're Scottish.
	Therefore, we shan't punish you for that because it's sort of expected.
	Yeah, under this policy, they would have looked at the ethnicity of...
	I mean, bear in mind, this is a secondary school in southwest Scotland, so everyone was white.
	No, there were some...
	We were an ethnic minority within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
	The original.
	The original ethnic minority.
	But yeah, it's just weird that you're going to punish children differently or teenagers differently for pooing on a school roof based on their cultural background.
	I mean, if they can't be helped...
	They did a poo on a school roof!
	You know what I mean?
	Why are you overcomplicating this by looking at their cultural histories and contexts?
	Well, because if you don't, then apparently, in Washington at least, you end up punishing students of colour more than the white students.
	The white students also including Asians.
	So, again, no logic here.
	But then, literally, yes, they're going to say that it's okay for that student to break the rules, because in his culture, he's allowed to break the rules.
	Right.
	What?
	Doesn't make any sense.
	That's so racist!
	That's mad!
	That is so racist!
	It's also just like, he's black, he's going to commit crime, what are you going to do?
	That is so, it's so racist!
	I mean, apply it to the law.
	Yeah!
	I mean, literally, if you get some guy, you know, the black guy's a murderer, the cops are meant to go, well, he is black, so we'll give him that, though.
	I mean, I guess this is creeping into policing.
	All this woke legislation and also guidance.
	Yeah, this is for schools.
	But, you know, CRT, we're seeing it creep into HR guidance.
	So people in HR now get official guidance that is about recognising racist facial expressions.
	So, you know, if you sneeze, you know, if you look at somebody the wrong way, you can be hauled before a tribunal for your racism.
	But, like, you know, sometimes our faces, you know, what if you've got Bell's palsy?
	You know, you can't, there's no objective way of measuring racistness.
	So this is going to creep, it's creeping throughout, you know, especially the public sector, it's going to creep into policing.
	Well, that's why I say it's exactly what happened with the rape gangs here.
	I mean, the subject of, well, it's their culture.
	Yeah.
	Therefore, let them carry on.
	Yeah.
	Okay, well, now we're going to do that in schools.
	And the great defense that woke has put out there is that, you know, wokeism is just about, you know, trying not to be racist and, you know, trying to, you know, make people feel accepted, which are noble intentions.
	We can agree that they're noble intentions, but what that translates into...
	Some of us can agree that they're noble intentions, but what that translates into is a fear of looking racist.
	So then the rape gangs were allowed to go unmolested, if that's not an inappropriate word to use, but they were allowed to continue operating because the authorities were scared of looking racist by apprehending them.
	I've always decided to define wokeness as class, gender, and racial socialism along all these characteristics and so forth.
	And you can see it there with the racial socialism.
	It's like, well, we've got unequal outcomes along the races.
	Therefore, we need racial socialism.
	We need equity and equality along these lines.
	Therefore, well, we'll punish the white ones, not the ones who aren't white.
	And then with the rape gangs, we'll let them carry on doing it because otherwise it might look a bit racist, mate.
	Right.
	Okay.
	That's the argument.
	We would have unequal statistics at the end of the day.
	Good.
	Unequal statistics are the results of Yeah, and equality.
	Well, equal treatment.
	Yeah.
	So, if we go to the next one, we can see there's also...
	There should be a link in there to the school board again.
	I don't know if you can get it up, John.
	In which the professional learning days are also going to be devoted to this.
	So, point to A. In the 2021-2022 school year, school districts must use one of the professional learning days, teacher training days...
	Funded by the state to train school district staff in one or more of the following topics, cultural competence, diversity, equity, or inclusion.
	And then from then on, every year after as well.
	The state-mandated re-education.
	Great.
	Let's go to the next one because we can see this also happening across the United States.
	Libs and TikTok are having it on the money again here.
	This is just some education as well, as you can see.
	15 characteristics of white supremacy culture.
	What are they?
	Individualism.
	Does that characterize the Germans, Leo?
	Individualism?
	Those fellow whites.
	I mean, individualism, certainly communism, seem to catch on in some pretty white places.
	Yeah, it's not a white thing, it's an English thing.
	Objectivity?
	Does that sound like the French?
	No?
	Not really?
	Again, fellow whites.
	Perfectionism.
	Does that describe the Spaniards?
	This is incredibly racist.
	Again, but it's not even white.
	And also they're listing a lot of positive traits and associating them with white people, which is very racist.
	I think there's a lot of, I mean, certainly a lot of my black friends are very paternal.
	Also a sense of urgency.
	They're very individualistic.
	Yeah, this is ridiculous.
	No, but what is it actually saying here?
	It's saying white supremacy.
	Well, none of these things are white.
	The Germans are not individualistic.
	The Italians don't turn up on time.
	So, I mean, both of them are officially white as well.
	So, no, it's not about white supremacy.
	It is, again, because American leftists have no idea what the hell they're talking about beyond their own borders.
	Anglos.
	The Anglo people.
	They're describing just sort of general right-wing traits.
	Sure, but also individualism is an Anglo thing, not a German thing.
	Right.
	The Germans are very collectivist.
	Right, right.
	Which is why you end up with national socialism and socialism coming from these people.
	Right.
	We had momentum.
	Yeah, but they never took over the country.
	Yeah, they didn't get any momentum.
	That's good.
	That's a good point.
	Let's go to the next one, so we can see more from those at TikTok documenting this.
	Of course, when they're not teaching critical race theory, they're having the pride parades with the kids, forcing them to do it.
	Defenseless children.
	So this is Doss Elementary School in Texas, amazingly.
	Held another pride parade today.
	They barred parents' access after a video of their last parade went viral.
	Here are two images from the parade today.
	If we go to the next one, we can see an image of just the kid's face, which...
	Yeah, I don't think she wants to be there.
	I don't think she wants to be masked up, forced to parade for these parents' pleasure.
	Oh wait, not the parents, the teachers, sorry.
	For the teachers' pleasure she is being forced to parade for.
	Let's go to the next one, because you can see the original parade also went viral, which the school then deleted, or at least the teachers then deleted, once they were shown to be weird and creepy.
	And let's play this.
	Why not?
	So they're having a pride parade for like little children.
	The teachers are having a pride parade with the children.
	Yeah.
	Is how I'm going to phrase that, because that's what's really happening.
	The kids didn't come up with this idea.
	It's, you know, it's fine, like, you know, but I think pride parades are for adults.
	They're also not a place for publicly funded schools.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Because those are places of education and learning, not for re-education.
	If you want to take your kids to a Pride Parade, I mean, you know, feel free to if you want.
	But also, you know, there's people in the Pride Parade that don't really want children around.
	If I'm dressed up in my leathers, which I might do at the next one, if I'm dressed up with, you know, my ass on display...
	Kink Pride.
	Yeah.
	I've been, you know, dressed as a puppy with, like, a big dildo coming off my forehead.
	I don't want little kids around getting, you know, like, harshing my buzz.
	You see this at every single Pride Parade, or at least every one I've attended, having a look at.
	And, yeah, it's not kosher.
	Yeah.
	Go to the next one, we can see more of this as well.
	And you're usually dancing on the float.
	You can see her mentioning here as well, this Pride Award was the same, sorry, Pride Parade was the same school that set to start Pride Week, in which they told students not to tell anyone about what they learnt.
	Quote, That was a message to the kids by the totally above board teachers.
	Let's go to the next one, because you can also see that there was a teacher boasting that she managed to get all the boys to paint their nails.
	And you'll notice in here, this isn't, like, recess.
	This is scheduled events for the Pride Week they've set up, and that includes scheduled sessions of nail painting and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
	Of course.
	Remember schools?
	Remember how you went to school and you watched Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for a whole week?
	No.
	No.
	Something has happened.
	This isn't normal.
	We go to the next one.
	There's Austin's Attorney General pointing out that this is all illegal, as well, under American law, at least in Texas.
	So, because it is a taxpayer-funded school, not a Democrat-funded re-education camp.
	The Texas legislature has made it clear that when it comes to sex education, parents, not school districts, are in charge.
	Before a student may be provided with human sexuality instruction, a school district must obtain the written consent of the student's parent.
	The Attorney General writes, he continues, You are breaking state law!
	Objecting parents can file grievances with your school board pursuant to the presence policy of your district and that district's policy which is required to be maintained under the education code.
	Additionally, parents may file complaints with the Texas Education Agency on the basis that your event violates the law.
	I encourage you to take immediate action to rectify the situation, he writes.
	And then he ends this with, for parents, as in like yours sincerely, Ken Paxton.
	Which is an awesome sign off there, because it's just like, yes, this is against the law.
	What the hell are you doing?
	Sort yourselves out.
	Did they?
	No.
	As you can see, the superintendent there decided she wasn't going to heed his warning, and instead decided to say, I want all our LGBTQIA plus students to take that we are proud of them, and we will protect them from these political attacks.
	No, it's a legal attack.
	You don't.
	This is why, clearly, you should have spent more time in school.
	Yourself.
	Not at the pride parade.
	It's not a political attack, it's a legal one.
	If you focus less on the nail painting and watching Queer Eye and more on the difference between politics and the courts.
	There's also an end-off there with the Postmillennial article, which was funny.
	At the very end, they write, DOS Elementary Media Relations Specialist Eddie Villa, who noted in his email signature that his pronouns are he, him, his, because of course he did, replied to a request for comments to the Postmillennial saying, please see our superintendents tweet on this and reference the tweet above as well, in which he just said, yeah, I'm going to continue breaking the law.
	Okay.
	See you in court.
	To all of the parents who have any of the kids there, take the complaints to the relevant place as listed by your Attorney General.
	He is doing the Lord's work.
	Help him in that regard.
	And I'll end this off by saying this shouldn't really be a surprise, frankly, given the state of the teachers that we see.
	Yeah.
	Let's play this clip and enjoy one of them.
	A four-year-old in my class today was naming all the girls in class.
	And then she said my name.
	And I had to tell her, I'm not a girl.
	Don't include me.
	And then another four-year-old whipped around like, mixed kid is a people.
	And another four-year-old at a different table looks at her and goes, they're a they.
	Made my non-binary teacher heart very happy today.
	I suppose we can all hope that that non-binary heart doesn't give in to the McDonald's she's been eating.
	But anyway, there we are.
	I mean, yeah, to be fair, there is enough of her to be a few people's worth.
	But then the four-year-olds, yeah, the four-year-olds had those ideas, did they?
	Yeah, they came up with those on their own.
	It wasn't you, you groomer.
	I'm sorry, but why are you grooming people into your weird ideologies?
	Yeah, like there's going to be any benefit in your life of learning about all this like, you know, endless, there's hundreds and hundreds of different genders now.
	You're going to get to, you're going to leave school, going to get a job, going to get to like, you know, fill in your tax return.
	And it's all complicated.
	You're like, man, all I know is genders.
	I can really fill in the name and gender part.
	That's it.
	Yeah, I can tell you what each gender means, but I can't do algebra or whatever you need for tax returns.
	I don't know.
	There we are.
	American education continues to be an international embarrassment for the United States.
	Okay, so moving on, we've got the Supreme Court Justice.
	I think we can skip this one and go to the Reuters story.
	So basically, I remember a few months ago, Joe Biden said he was going to nominate a black woman to be the U.S. Supreme Court judge.
	But he openly said, I mean, fair enough, fair enough, you know, he wants to make the US Supreme Court more diverse and more representative of the population of America, which, you know, there shouldn't be barriers to black women being Supreme Court judges.
	But there aren't.
	But, I mean, arguably, there aren't.
	You know, now, in 2022, there definitely aren't.
	I mean, there's definitely not any barriers to, you know, people of colour being in adverts.
	Or, you know, I mean...
	Anything else they want to do.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I wish I could do this.
	That was always allowed.
	I haven't seen a white couple in an advert in...
	It's been about 18 months.
	Yeah.
	But, I mean, I might be joking before anybody, oh, before Victoria Corrin attacks me on Twitter again for being racist, there's a possibility I might have been joking.
	I might have seen some white couples in adverts.
	It may be true that the comedian was telling the truth.
	I'm hyperbolising to make a point.
	But anyway, so, but yeah, Biden, so, you know, he needs a new Supreme Court justice.
	And instead of just quietly, you know, bringing in, you know, he's got the list of all the people and then he picks the black woman.
	He makes it, he says up front, I'm going to pick the black woman.
	I'm going to pick a black woman.
	You know, people are like, what's her name?
	He's like, I don't know yet.
	Doesn't matter.
	He could have just been like, I'm going to go for the best person for another job and it happens to be her.
	Yeah.
	Instead he was like, no, I want a blackest womanist.
	So instead, he's created all this resentment.
	He's done this sort of racially and socially divisive thing by saying, you know, she is getting nominated purely based on her identity, on her protected characteristics.
	And, you know, I've no doubt she's capable of doing the job.
	But, you know, why would you destroy her credibility by saying this before you've even appointed her?
	But anyway, let's see who he's appointed if we move on to the next little tab.
	So here we go.
	So she can't, this is her being asked to define a woman, which, I mean, it is complicated these days.
	You know what I mean?
	But if we play this.
	Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
	Can I provide a definition?
	Yeah.
	I can't.
	You can't?
	Not in this context.
	I'm not a biologist.
	The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can't give me a definition?
	Adult, human, female.
	Whoa, that's transphobic!
	No, I'd say a definition of a woman is somebody with tits who gives me a boner.
	Slaanesh.
	What's that?
	Slaanesh.
	What's Slaanesh?
	It's a god from 40k, the god of deviancy and degeneracy.
	Sounds hot.
	He, she...
	Is it a he?
	It's a they!
	It's a they!
	Apparently, officially, it's a prince.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, anyway, she's saying she can't define a woman because she's not a biologist, which, I don't know, that doesn't bode well for, you know, dealing with more complicated questions such as any other question in the universe.
	Like, how do you cross this road?
	I don't know!
	I'm not a civil engineer!
	How long is this piece of string?
	I don't know.
	I'm not a stringologist.
	A string theory.
	But she can't define a woman.
	I mean, she could at least have a go.
	Like, they've mostly got texts.
	It's going to be probably like me.
	Yeah!
	I'm a woman!
	Yeah!
	Actually, I'm a woman as well.
	Because you can just say you're a woman.
	Which Ted Cruz actually did.
	He raised the point that...
	In fact, I think it's in the next clip.
	But the question was...
	But let me ask, under the modern leftist sensibilities, if...
	I decide right now that I'm a woman, then apparently I'm a woman.
	Does that mean that I would have Article III standing to challenge a gender-based restriction?
	Senator, to the extent that you are asking me about who has the ability to bring lawsuits based on gender, those kinds of issues are working their way through the courts, and I'm not able to comment on them.
	Okay, if I can...
	Change my gender if I can be a woman, and then an hour later, if I decide I'm not a woman anymore, I guess I would lose Article III standing.
	Tell me, does that same principle apply to other protected characteristics?
	For example, I'm an Hispanic man.
	Could I decide I was an Asian man?
	Would I have the ability to be an Asian man and challenge Harvard's discrimination because I made that decision?
	Senator, I'm not able to answer your question.
	You're Asking me about hypotheticals and...
	I'm asking how you would assess standing if I came in and said, I have decided I identify as an Asian man.
	I would assess standing the way I assess other legal issues, which is to listen to the arguments made by the parties, consider the relevant precedents, and the constitutional principles involved, and make a determination.
	She can't do that now.
	But you were just given the arguments.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	She knows the constitutional principles because she's being elected, she's being placed in the Supreme Court.
	So, yeah, I mean, it exposes the sort of mania and the fallacies at the heart of a lot of wokeism.
	The fact that you can self-identify according to woke logic.
	So I'm a woman, and I'm a woman.
	I'm back.
	Obviously these things break down on an individual level because then you get, you know, like the Karen, the guy in Scotland who was being sent to jail for sexual offences and he said, I'm a woman.
	And then they sent him to a woman's jail.
	In which he then sexually assaulted the female inmates.
	In which he then sexually assaulted the female inmates.
	And they extended his sentence.
	So then that's exactly what he wanted.
	So he could do it more.
	So, yeah, it's ridiculous.
	Can't silence reality.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Can't be done.
	Yeah, and, you know, alright, maybe an absolutist approach where you say, like, a woman is an adult human female.
	That excludes trans women.
	But what about, as a compromise, trans women are trans women?
	I think the adult human female still implies that.
	Yeah.
	So it's not necessarily transphobic.
	I mean, this is actually officially the prison system here for people wondering.
	That's the solution we came to in government, was that we need to set up trans women prisons and trans male prisons, because we just can't mix them with general population.
	Yeah.
	Like, there are too many concerns.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, that was the solution.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because obviously there's issues if you send a trans woman who's put some effort in, send her to a male prison.
	That's going to be bad.
	Yeah, how do you think that's going to go as well?
	It's going to go badly.
	I mean, unless she's into that kind of thing.
	But anyway, so that's...
	So, you know, she's falling, stumbling at some of these hurdles.
	And this is her confirmation hearing.
	So it's a kind of...
	It's to rubber stamp her entry to the US Supreme Court.
	But it seems to be exposing some failings.
	of course it's not meant to be political but it obviously is yeah so what happens is remember the last few i mean remember kavanaugh is the most good example of this in which they'll have him on and because he's a republican the democrats will literally just make stuff up or just lie or just try and grill him on things that didn't happen yeah and these became a meme it was like whoever gets picked is just going to get roasted for things they haven't done yeah but in this case i find it interesting because these are things she just genuinely believes like this isn't concocted There is no way that she does not believe in woke ideology, otherwise she'd be able to answer the questions.
	And instead she's keeping to herself because she knows, actually, my opinions are mad.
	And if I broadcast that in my confirmation, it's not going to go well.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay, the next clip is, this should be the babies are racist one.
	So, Judge Jackson, all of us will agree that no one should be discriminated against because of race.
	When you just testified a minute ago that you didn't know if critical race theory was taught in K-12, I will confess, I find that statement a little hard to reconcile with the public record, because if you look at the Georgetown Day School's curriculum, it is filled and overflowing with critical race theory.
	That among the books that are either assigned or recommended, they include Critical Race Theory, an introduction.
	They include The End of Policing, an advocacy for abolishing police.
	They include How to Be an Anti-Racist by Ibram Kendi.
	They include literally stacks and stacks of books, and I'll tell you two of the ones that were most stunning.
	They include a book called Anti-Racist Baby by Ibram Kendi.
	And there are portions of this book...
	That I find really quite remarkable.
	One portion of the book says babies are taught to be racist or anti-racist.
	There is no neutrality.
	Another portion of the book they recommend to babies confess when being racist.
	Now this is a book that is taught at Georgetown Day School To students in pre-K through second grade, so four through seven years old.
	Do you agree with this book that is being taught with kids that babies are racist?
	Senator, I do not believe that any child should be made to feel As though they are racist, or though they are not valued, or though they are less than, that they are victims, that they are oppressors.
	I don't believe in any of that.
	But what I will say is that when you asked me whether or not this was taught in schools, critical race theory, My understanding is that critical race theory as an academic theory is taught in law schools and to the extent that you were asking the question, I understood you to be addressing public schools.
	Georgetown Day School, just like the religious school that Justice Barrett was on the board of is a private school.
	So you agree critical race theory is taught at Georgetown Day School?
	I don't know because the board does not control the curriculum.
	The board does not focus on that.
	That's not what we do as board members, so I'm actually not sure.
	So she's on the board of this school and she doesn't know if critical race theory is being taught.
	I just gave you the reading list.
	She seems to be unsure about the origins of critical race theory and seems to think it's just something that exists in academia, in law school.
	And it originated at Harvard Law School where she and Ted Cruz studied.
	So, you know, you'd think she'd have a pretty good understanding of it.
	I love that I was like, a huge pause there.
	We just laid out, look, isn't this horrible?
	And she was like, fuck it.
	She was like, oh my God, he's got me.
	I'm going to have to default to it.
	Yeah, maybe we shouldn't do that to kids because it's evil.
	You all know it's evil.
	Yeah, forcing babies to confess the racism.
	Like, that's insanity.
	But, yeah, so she's on the board of this school and she says that, you know, she doesn't know if they teach critical race theory.
	Obviously, they do.
	And that was, you know, books that Ted Cruz had, you know, taken from that school.
	So, well, he hadn't taken them.
	He's not a member of the library.
	But she also made some pretty bizarre claims around some radical groups, some radical leftist groups.
	So in the next one, she makes a pretty weird claim about the black Israelites.
	But what I will say is that when you asked me whether or not this was taught in schools, critical race theory...
	My understanding is that critical race theory as an academic theory is taught in law schools, and to the extent that you were asking the question, I understood you to be addressing public schools.
	Georgetown Day School, just like...
	We can skip to the next one.
	Sorry.
	Well, we'll get to the next one and find out what it is.
	So I believe you, and I've actually read your sentencing hearing in each one of these cases for which we have transcripts, and there are several of which we don't have.
	Let me pause this just for a second.
	So this is actually about our child porn sentencing record.
	So Ted Cruz has dug through and got the stats on her sentencing, which seems to be much lighter than the state's average and much lighter, much more lenient than the recommended sentencing.
	So judges, so she's been a judge in child porn cases and they've got recommended sentences to hand out for certain crimes.
	The person's found guilty and she's given them much lighter.
	I think it works out around 50%, 50% more lenient.
	So you serve 50% less time.
	So if any of you have got a Gary Glitter hard drive, if you get hauled in front of the courts, make sure you get her.
	She's definitely one of the more lenient ones.
	And these are, you know, these are some pretty horrific offenses.
	We'll hear Ted Cruz talk about the sentence.
	So in each of these cases, you read from the same script.
	So in each of these cases, you say that the distribution of child pornography is an extremely serious federal crime.
	And you point out that the crime involves people who are taking pictures and videos of real children while the children are being sexually abused.
	In Hess, you pointed out that he had hundreds, hundreds of images of children in sexually compromised position.
	Some of them engaged in sadomasochistic acts.
	All of this I'm reading from you on the bench.
	And most importantly, the children in these pictures are not knowing and willing participants in the degrading conduct that was being depicted.
	They were being forced, forced by someone offscreen, to commit unspeakable acts of sexual violence for the pleasure of the people filming them And for the gratification of people everywhere.
	And what concerns me is that many of those people have absolutely no shred of empathy for what that conduct does for the children who were being abused in this way.
	And you read this script in every one of these cases.
	So you talk about that these are terrible, terrible crimes.
	Divisively the worst crimes.
	But you also, and in Hess you said, I have to say that what I found particularly disturbing about your offense...
	Was that, quote, you apparently concocted a story about having photographed your own daughter who you purportedly were willing to take pictures of to trade with other people.
	I know from your comments and from those who know you that you are unlikely to ever harm a child, which I find remarkable that you've got a child predator in your court who says, I'm unlikely to harm a child.
	And you say, well, you told me that, so clearly you're unlikely.
	But you say, but in the context of the crime, You represented that you would.
	That in and of itself is astonishing.
	So you talk about it as astonishing.
	You nonetheless sentenced him to the very lowest possible sentence allowed under law.
	And what's striking is in these cases, and half of them in five, you sentenced the defendant to the absolute lowest sentence under law.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, absolutely shocking.
	So she's handing out very lenient sentences and doesn't seem to have...
	You know, she's making excuses for the defendant where...
	She's not recognising the harm that's done by consuming.
	She's saying they're consuming the pornography, they're not committing the harm themselves, but a consumer of pornography is causing the pornography to be created.
	It's like if you eat a steak, you're not killing the cow yourself, but it's killed for your steak.
	So, yeah, horrific.
	And then this guy...
	To think about it overnight, this is a case where you had an 18-year-old who possessed and distributed hundreds of images of 8-year-olds and 9-year-olds and 10-year-olds, and you gave him, frankly, a slap on the wrist of three months.
	Senator, I don't remember whether it was distribution or possession in the law.
	It was both.
	Do you regret it?
	In the law, there are different...
	You gave him three months.
	My question is, do you regret it or not?
	Senator, what I regret is that in a hearing about my qualifications to be a justice on the Supreme Court, we've spent a lot of time...
	I'm focusing on this small subset of my sentences, and I've tried to explain...
	You regret that we're focusing on your cases?
	I don't understand...
	No, no, no.
	I'm talking about the fact that you're talking about seven very serious cases.
	I'm glad we agree on that.
	Some of which involve...
	Conduct that I sentence people to 25, 30 years.
	Three months in this case, Judge.
	Do you regret it?
	You haven't answered my question yet.
	Do you regret this sentence?
	Senator, I would have to look at the circumstances.
	What I'm telling you...
	You know the circumstances.
	We discussed it for half an hour yesterday.
	There's a 55-page transcript, which I'm sure you've read.
	You lived it.
	As you've emphasized to this committee over and over, you've lived it, right?
	You said that You've been through all of this.
	You've looked at all of the images.
	You're the one who's had to endure all of it.
	You gave him a three-month sentence.
	I just wonder if you regret it or if you stand by it.
	I mean, do you stand by that sentence?
	Senator, in every case, I followed what Congress authorized me to do in looking, to the best of my ability, at all of the various factors that apply, that constrain judges, that give us discretion, but also tell us how to sentence.
	And I ruled in every case based on all of the relevant factors.
	So you don't regret it?
	No one case Right, yeah.
	She already said no as well.
	I was expecting a deflection there, and instead she says, you know, why are you judging me?
	Why are you judging my abilities as a judge on my history as a judge?
	She said no immediately, because he asked, do you regret it?
	And she said no.
	Well, I regret what she said.
	It's being asked about it.
	I regret being asked about it.
	Right, so that's a no.
	That's an implicit no in the statement.
	And in the full interview with Ted Cruz, who's the other guy interviewing at the congressional hearing, she says that a lot of child porn collectors, child porn users, are curating collections and not causing significant harm, and they're just interested in the technology, which seems the most...
	Bizarre get-around to try and minimise what's one of the most horrific crimes.
	It's so weird.
	Transparent.
	You know, I remember Amy Conan Barrett.
	You remember when she was getting put up for the position?
	The criticism of her from the left was she was too hard on abortion.
	Yeah.
	That was it.
	That was as deep as they could get as, like, why she's a bad person.
	Yeah.
	Whereas this is just, yeah.
	Abortion is a sort of quite a strong issue for the Supreme Court because, you know, they...
	But there's a debate to be had.
	There is no debate to be had on her subject.
	Yeah, yeah, there's a final, you know, the Supreme Court has a final say on, you know, weighing up where reproductive rights, you know, where the balance is to be struck, because, I mean, it is pretty mad at, like, you know, 15 weeks, 16 weeks, which I think is the...
	As I say, that's the difference.
	There's a debate to be had.
	There's a debate to be had.
	There's no debate to be had with what she is discussing.
	But there is a debate to be had as to whether child porn with the proliferation of internet and with the easier accessibility to it than in the 80s where you'd have to probably know a criminal gang or whatever it is.
	But should they get three months?
	But there's certainly a debate to be had that's very relevant to the Democratic Party and the modern left because they seem to be, as we saw in your segment, they're bringing sexuality into schools.
	They're bringing children.
	They're making them more aware and they're almost grooming them in sexualized matters, whether that's the pride parades or whether that's something else.
	Stuff that generally...
	We don't even have to go there.
	We don't even have to go there at all.
	We can literally look at their left-wing ideology on nonces and they're just like, well, society made them do it.
	And that's why you end up with such light sentences.
	No.
	No, they did it.
	That's why they get the sentence and it should be big.
	It should not be three months.
	So it's something that, you know, as a society, we need to keep an eye on this sort of creeping noncery in the left.
	We should hurry up because of time.
	Yeah, we should hurry up.
	But yeah, watch out for nonces.
	Check under your bed.
	The Diversity Hour might be there.
	You know, we were calling her the Diversity Hour, at least I still am as well, because she was picked for being a black woman, and it's just like, screw her name then.
	Like, Biden didn't even care about her name, he just wanted the Diversity Hour.
	Yeah, and to put it, to signal, to signpost so much that you're just openly...
	Doing it as a tokenistic measure.
	It just reduces her credibility because, you know, she might be a perfectly excellent judge.
	She might be the right person for the job, but we'll never know because Biden has openly said...
	I think we know now.
	Anyway, let's do the last segment.
	This is less of a black pill.
	Hopefully she should be struck down, but we'll see what happens.
	So, real videos are Russian disinformation, or at least this is according to the Ministry of Defence today, because they got caught being incompetent, and so they're trying to cover it up, and it's kind of embarrassing in my view.
	So, this story is about prank calls, of all things.
	So, this is an account.
	I don't know if you can scroll down on this, John, just so we can show the YouTube channel.
	These are two Russian pranksters, they're based in Russia, and they really enjoy, for the last several years, calling up rich and important people, pretending to be someone else, they don't even change their voice, and just the rich, important person falls for it because they're an idiot.
	And this one here is with Monica Lewinsky, who they called up and pranked.
	If you go to the next one, I believe it's Greta Thunberg, I think this one, I know, it's Bernie Sanders, sorry, in which they called him up and he gave a big old speech about- I don't know.
	But it's just they've been calling up, like, everyone.
	Like, they called up Lukashenko at one point and just trolled him for, like, 20 minutes because that was fun.
	Of course, being Russian, they've done a lot on Russian oligarchs and whatnot as well.
	But then people in the West, because that's more funny.
	And if we go to the next one, there's another one here.
	What was this one?
	The President of Poland.
	This one has 2.6 million views.
	Just a prank call.
	Who you just talked to is idiot.
	That's it.
	And that's where it should end, right?
	You know, oh, rich person or important person gets fooled.
	Haha.
	The important person brushes it off and goes, whoopsie doopsie.
	And that's the end of the conversation.
	However, now they decided to do it to the Ministry of Defence, at least in the UK. So this is Ben Wallace, who is the Secretary for Defence in the UK, and he got caught in this.
	They called him up and he fell for it because he's an idiot, like everyone else who got caught.
	I don't know who else to call you, but you got caught by a prank call, bruv.
	What was the response to that?
	Haha, okay, yeah, stupid move on.
	No.
	No, it wasn't, because he didn't take this well.
	If we go to the next one, we have ITV reporting on the response here.
	The police are coming for us already.
	Videos released after Ben Wallace targeted by Russian pranksters.
	The Ministry of Defence has dismissed the video as Russian propaganda.
	Right.
	Being fed out to obscure and manipulate the truth and urge people to be very sceptical about the accepting of the doctored contents as real.
	So they're saying the call didn't take place?
	I don't know.
	Like a deep fake or something?
	It's not.
	That's the thing, because the pranksters released the video.
	Yeah.
	So it's like, no, it's not fake.
	And if they're phoning Lukashenko, it doesn't sound like they're doing it on behalf of Putin.
	That's not Russian propaganda.
	Lukashenko's the president of Belarus, which is in the Russian Federation.
	He's a close ally of Putin.
	Might actually be joining the war against Ukraine.
	Exactly.
	So if you're making fun of him, you're not working for the Russian state, I would presume.
	Otherwise, they'd be quite mad, presumably.
	So the idea that it's propaganda, I mean, they say it's not true.
	It's trying to manipulate the truth.
	I mean, that is what a prank channel is, you morons.
	But then also that it's all fake.
	Everything said that was fake.
	Well, then why would Ben Wallace decide to spew lies on a call with what he thought was the Ukrainian prime minister?
	If you're saying what Ben Wallace was saying was all lies, why would he do that?
	If he genuinely thought he was talking to the Prime Minister of Ukraine?
	Yeah.
	Doesn't make any sense.
	And then they say it's doctored.
	And the closest thing I can get to this is there are a few cuts in here, but you can see why there are a few cuts when you watch the thing, which is just the, well, the conversation kind of gets a bit boring, especially when he's just mentioning like, oh, do you stand with Ukraine?
	And Ben's like, yes, we stand with Ukraine.
	And they do that for like two minutes solid.
	Which is like, right, skip this.
	This isn't fun.
	So, Home Secretary Preeti Patel could also be bracing for a video to be released after revealing she has also been targeted this week.
	Oh great, so there's another one there.
	A Ministry of Defence source said the video was garbage.
	Okay.
	I don't know if that's a criticism of the video, just being low tier, or because it's fake again?
	It's a doctored clip.
	What you don't hear is the Defence Secretary also saying that the UK can't have anything to do with alleged Ukrainian nuclear ambitions.
	What?
	I would assume he would have said that.
	Okay.
	Because the UK is committed to the Treaty on Non-Peripheral of Nuclear Weapons.
	Now the funny thing is, I actually did see the full thing after they released it, and he does have that clip in there.
	So, again, I don't know what they're thinking there.
	He said he terminated the call after becoming suspicious about a number of misleading questions.
	However, the pranksters on their YouTube page said the call lasted 22 minutes and did not end abruptly, but on benevolent mutual farewell.
	Which, it did.
	Because they released the full video.
	And you can watch it yourself.
	And it's like, right, so you were lying about that as well.
	As in the Ministry of Defence were just lying for no reason.
	You didn't have to.
	You could have just said, yeah, we were pranked.
	Stuff happens.
	If we go to the next link, we can't play it because I'm somewhat worried we'll be put on a terrorism act.
	I'm not joking.
	The way they're responding to this is insane.
	So in here I'm just going to say the interesting things that he said that you could argue are about national defense or whatever.
	So he says in there that they're sending new anti-air missiles, which are better than Stinger missiles to the Ukrainians.
	He says there are talks of sending anti-ship missiles to the Ukrainians.
	Okay, I expect all this.
	This is not a concern in the slightest.
	He then says that British ships are heading into the Black Sea to test the Russians, but won't fire on Russian ships.
	Hmm.
	Bit strange, but whatever.
	This is actually pretty typical for militaries in the time of war.
	It's a bit strange, but okay.
	He says he's happy to then move British troops into Ukraine in the event of a peace deal.
	Again, you could say that's strange, but then also it's kind of what's expected.
	Like, if Ukraine gets independence and continues to be independent, yes.
	Part of any peace deal would surely involve, you know, allied countries going in there to make it impossible to, you know, because obviously Russia can't attack if there's UK troops in there, because then they'll be fighting the UK! We'll totally destroy you, Putin!
	That's the offer he says that he has there.
	He then says that we've said...
	I literally cannot overemphasize how much the UK would totally destroy Russia in a war.
	Not by ourselves.
	No, we totally would.
	Are you joking?
	I'm not to say Ukraine isn't a powerful country with a large military.
	Look, they're bogged down.
	We rely on the Americans.
	Like a month in.
	A month in.
	They're still bogged down.
	Anyway, so he then says that we sent 4,000 N-laws and we are running out of our own.
	We should send some M-laws.
	They're mother-in-law.
	Okay.
	So these are the anti-tank weapons.
	Nag the Russian 16-year-old boys to death.
	That's the interesting bit because he says we're running out of our own, which suggests that we're not in a position to actually have our own stockpiles full.
	And the Canadians said the same thing, except they said it publicly.
	And then the Ministry of Defence is denying that this is happening.
	Which, why should I trust you?
	You're the government, you have an incentive to lie.
	Whereas a leaked phone call of you actually saying it seems more realistic, so that's good to know.
	We've already given thousands of these weapons to Ukraine because they're great.
	They're great!
	You don't need a particularly large amount of training to use them.
	Just point them at a tank and fire it.
	Even a child can use it, and they often do.
	Yeah, and it blows the tank up!
	Yeah.
	So then all the little Russians and they go, oh, she'd risen up against Putin and overthrown him when I had a chance instead of now cooking to death in this tank.
	Like a Hot dog.
	Gonna say something worse.
	So then the Ukrainians asked for, or at least the fake Ukrainian guy, asked for a nuclear program.
	Of course the British guy just says, no, I'm gonna go speak to the PM. Also, we don't advise that.
	Also, we can't be seen to be doing that.
	So again, it's not even compromising.
	And then he says, in case of a peace deal, we would have to have to reduce weapons.
	So he asks if the British could store secret weapons for the Ukrainians in Poland, and then the clip cuts.
	Right.
	Like, there's a big old cut, and there's a sign saying, due to UK national security, we cut this clip.
	Because, presumably, he was receiving...
	Is that the doctoring that they're talking about?
	Presumably.
	They doctored it in our favour.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Which is strange.
	So, then, they end up saying, thank you for talking, bye-bye.
	And it's like, yeah, okay, so the Ministry of Defence were lying about that.
	Good to know.
	And this is where the story should have just ended, right?
	They released the full clip, the Ministry of Defence were lying, and they got caught with their trousers down for being incompetent.
	Okay, take the L. Move on with your life.
	You know, redo any of the defense procurements that you have to.
	No.
	The Ministry of Defense is losing their minds.
	If we go to the next one, we can see a tweet by the Ministry of Defense calling on YouTube to censor the video because they're unhappy they got caught being incompetent.
	So, they're saying here, I mean, you could argue as well, they got their way with RT and Sputnik, so why shouldn't they have the expectation to remove anything embarrassing to the government from the internet?
	They say, Dear XXXXX, Okay, someone was clearly in a rush.
	Didn't feel like filling in a name at all, right?
	This happened with Lauren Southern, if you may remember.
	They were just spelling mistakes throughout her deportation letter because they woke up at 3 in the morning and couldn't be bothered to do their job.
	The latest Russian disinformation presented in this video creates a substantial risk to the UK's national security and our defence commitments to NATO and our international partners, they write.
	But I thought it was doctored.
	If it's doctored, then we'd have to worry.
	Oh, they do say later on, they say it's doctored.
	I know, but they said before...
	In fairness to them, the guys, the Russian pranksters, could very well be working in cohort with the Russian security apparatus.
	This is an argument, but if you just go...
	Because Russia is a police state now, and you can't do anything...
	You can't even hold up.
	People have been getting arrested for holding up a blank sign.
	We featured it.
	It was a funny clip.
	But the thing is, there's no actual evidence of this.
	There's just claims.
	Because I looked at the only claims I've had against these two particular pranksters.
	The only person who's claimed it is the Ministry of Defence.
	They probably don't publish it on the Kremlin website.
	Here are our secret assets.
	Why have the Americans not done it?
	Well, Americans, they've been paying TikTokers.
	And in China, they do a lot of astroturfing.
	Why are the pranksters still targeting Russian-backed individuals?
	It's very strange, this claim.
	To give plausible deniability.
	Okay, but this is the claim.
	It's all out there.
	You can go and see yourselves.
	I don't know the truth, of course, but the only evidence online so far is a claim from the Ministry of Defence, who just got caught with their trousers down by the people they're claiming to be spies.
	But also, if the information isn't reliable within, why would we have any risk to defence of the realm?
	No, no, because it is reliable.
	Because you've got a call with your trousers down.
	No, you're trying to cover it up.
	Quote, What policy?
	Prank calls.
	Like, anyone in Britain could have done this.
	It just happens that the Russian guys did it.
	And they've done it to a lot of other people in the past, but all of a sudden, you're very scared.
	The doctored clip asserts that the UK supply of N-laws to Ukraine have often failed.
	Our end laws have not failed.
	This is factually incorrect.
	Okay, so then lies or mistakes are not allowed on YouTube.
	Presumably that's the British government's policy.
	We're just not allowed to be said anywhere, or the British government will come and get you.
	I don't know what that...
	I don't know what they're on about.
	But also, I've seen the clip in which that happens, and it's just the fake Ukrainians saying they've failed, and then Ben saying, no, they haven't.
	Right.
	So then it's not even effective, because obviously the guy lying is lying.
	That's the point of the prank.
	Hmm.
	They then continue.
	This disinformation seeks to undermine the technical manufacturing capability of the UK's specialised weaponry and disintegrate the UK's reputation as a leading NATO partner and defence contributor.
	And?
	Like, anyone in the UK can say the same thing.
	We could also all lie and be like, did you know British N-laws don't work?
	never should i be sent to the gulag for this should i be arrested should all the videos of me ever saying this be scrubbed from the internet no it doesn't matter because what does it matter they the end laws work well who cares who cares what some weirdo on the internet says about the end laws if the end laws work so strange any perceived failure of our lethal aid supplied to support Ukraine will provide an immediate detrimental effect upon the mal of on the morale of Ukrainian forces so do our alphabet police
	All the woke stuff in the West does transfer over to the East.
	We see our stuff and then the Western, sorry, the Eastern Liberals are not able to make the case because of our failures.
	So we'll ban that too.
	The doctored clip also purports to show the Defence Secretary saying that the UK is running out of our own supplied.
	This is, again, factually inaccurate.
	We have no supply shortages in regards to end laws.
	Well, why do you say it then?
	I mean, again, I know you are a government department, so you have an incentive to just tell us a lie, whereas him talking to the Ukrainian Prime Minister, as he thought, has an incentive to tell the truth, in which we can't send you more, or he was lying to what he thought was the Ukrainian Prime Minister because he doesn't want to send as many as he could.
	But yeah, I think it's like when your mate asks to borrow 20 quid, and you say, I've given you already 30.
	And you say, yeah, and I've only got 20 quid to keep me going till Thursday, when you know you've got loads of money.
	Yeah, so either we're lying to the Ukrainians, or he was lying to what he thought was the Ukrainians, which seems likely, or, again, he was lying in the call.
	I don't know.
	It's just weird.
	Again, why can't you just brush this off?
	Yeah.
	Why are you just like, oh, you got me, Beedle?
	Yeah, like, ha-ha, yeah, we were caught a prank.
	Yeah.
	And move on, like everyone else did, but they were caught by these guys.
	I always wondered, you know when they've got those hidden camera things and Noel's house party and stuff where like everybody goes out and leaves the guy in the living room and they've got like a hidden camera in the TV that's just filming, secretly filming him and he never just cracks one off.
	You know what I mean?
	He never just flicks over at a babe station and cracks one off.
	No.
	It must have happened though.
	The amount of years they did that.
	They had secret cameras in people's TVs.
	They probably got something.
	I bet they were like, oh man, we can't use this one.
	But to end this off, they do have one concern in here.
	Maybe they have somebody just shout through the window, you're taking part in a hidden camera prank show!
	Put it back in your trousers!
	Just throw things at the window.
	I don't know.
	But they end this off with one concern, which is, on two occasions now, these modified and edited clips, all clips are edited, even though they uploaded the form on there, but whatever, have risked being used by the Russian state as a premise for more attacks outside of international law and to inflict further human rights abuses.
	They don't say why in this article here, because it's about the nukes, in which, in the clip, our guy literally says, yeah, we're not going to do that.
	So again, we're not down here.
	Like, why are you freaking out?
	Like, we come off good in the clip.
	Dunces.
	We know that other content providers have acted responsibly and denied the distribution of this material.
	Thank you, XXXX, Ministry of Defence, as a message to you.
	Well, it's kisses.
	That's nice.
	Just kisses.
	Yeah.
	Kisses with the Defence Ministry.
	But yeah, I mean, this should really be seen as an opportunity, a learning experience.
	A teachable moment for the Ministry of Defence.
	Maybe have some sort of screening method.
	Well, that's the thing.
	They didn't have the phone image on for the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
	Do that in future.
	That's number one.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so you don't get caught on a prank.
	Next, if you do get caught on a prank, Don't try and censor the whole country because you got caught being incompetent.
	Take the L and move on.
	Reform your procedures.
	Don't start freaking out.
	I mean, again, if they don't reform anything in which they find themselves talking to the wrong people, but instead just censor it from the internet, okay, great, we're worse off.
	The best thing to do is to let it be aired and then fix the problem.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	This guy'll get suckered in by the Tinder swindler.
	Ben Wallace.
	Yeah.
	But also, I just love the end there, where they're just like, yeah, everyone else has denied the distribution of this material, so you should too, Google.
	Do as we say, because dammit, we never make mistakes.
	We're the Ministry of Defence.
	Yeah, no, you made a mistake.
	Live with it.
	Take the L. Jesus Christ.
	Go to the video comments haha Oh,
	thank you for thank you for that.
	I do enjoy the PPSH, especially the older ones.
	The new design they made in the middle of the war.
	You know, loads of big guns.
	Just some Russian ones, because I think they're cool.
	But there's also the...
	Have you seen the PPSH before?
	No.
	Okay, so it's usually got this round drum mag that you can use, but then that was complex, and they made a straight mag.
	And then they reworked the whole thing, and the new design they had in the middle of the war is so wartime that it just looks like crap.
	Like, all the wooden parts have been replaced.
	There's just this stock that's clearly, like, welded together by Syria.
	It just sucks.
	It's always nice to see the older ones that look great.
	Russians also use them a lot to kill the Soviets, which is also cool.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	I feel your frustration, Callum, when you mentioned having unsteady hands.
	I've never had steady hands as long as I can remember.
	I was a keen model maker in my teenage years, but never put much effort into it.
	More recently, and especially with the unnecessarily long lockdowns in Canada, I've started again with military models that are highly detailed, but the painting is highly segregated and there is fun in the research.
	The larger model here is HMS Dreadnought from 1907, the dark colour revealed by the archaeology of a British cruiser of the time, which had a paint strip back to reveal that shade, rather than the lighter of HMS Heard lower.
	That's awesome.
	I believe it's in Gibraltar.
	They have the Gibraltarian Museum there.
	And there's a section where they have a layer of all these different models of every vessel that was in the British fleet at its peak.
	And it looks beautiful because you've just got this huge row of ships.
	Yeah.
	Are they in chronological order?
	No, it's just at peak.
	Like, what did we have?
	Oh, right, right.
	I think it's after either the First or Second World War.
	Right, right.
	And maybe it was at its largest.
	Yeah.
	And you're just saying, damn, I wish we had that now.
	Anyway, thank you.
	In the Black Sea.
	In the next one.
	I hope you'll indulge me as I explicate a deeper syndrome at the heart of the mainstream media complex and all incumbent cuckery from which it flows.
	Propaganda.
	Alongside words like racist, fascist, comprehensive, Nazi, and systemic, I'd say at this point the dreaded P word has all the intellectual potency of the lyrics to Dancing Queen.
	The very fact that they need to author such obvious propaganda is proof positive that you possess the power to ruin absolutely everything.
	Okay, weird advert for Razor Fist there.
	Thanks, I guess I don't know what to say.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Alright, so my Discord server got together, and the Plebs of Shadow Lake podcast is officially a thing for Sundays.
	Shadow, we're not doing it on Saturdays.
	That's...
	no, I'm not having a fight with us on the Shadow Lake.
	It's dumb.
	That's immature.
	Knock it off.
	Anyway, we're not doing next Sunday because Mother's Day is coming up, and family is more important than just political podcasts on YouTube.
	So, that being said, if you ever want to be a part of the Shadow Lake community, come on down, description link, Discord, chat with whoever you like, or as...
	Well, Zenshin has made me aware that the live chat hates me.
	Call me an artist to my face if you want to.
	Alrighty then.
	Go to the next one.
	The 60s were an optimistic time.
	One of the most optimistic inventions was a pedipulator.
	It was a study in giant robot bipedal walking motion.
	Specifically in balancing.
	Looks kind of like a chicken walker from Star Wars.
	But obviously it didn't really get far.
	But hey, it looks cool.
	And hard to believe the US military was seriously considering giant robots.
	It's kind of sad.
	I always love looking back at the old experiments the Americans or the Germans or even the British did.
	Weird technology.
	And we don't seem to do that anymore, presumably because the money's not there.
	Yeah, and also we sort of, I guess we've got, we can simulate stuff on computers so we sort of know what's going to work and what's not going to work.
	There's no prototypes.
	Yeah, I think the big walkers could come back.
	Maybe not big walkers, but autonomous, you know, battlefield, you know, scamperers.
	Could come back.
	You know when you get the creepy little four-legged robots?
	I mean the ones from Boston Dynamics?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	They can walk upstairs and stuff.
	I think there's a place for them.
	I think they actually might be moving forward with that.
	Because it's meant to carry supplies, so you don't have to carry them, it all just goes on the robot.
	Right, yeah.
	Could also carry a bomb.
	You'll be carrying everything, and the robot will be carrying more, is how it'll really go.
	You'll be carrying a robot repairman.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan with another Legend of the Pines from New JerseyHauntedHouses.com comes the story of the Seven Stars Tavern in Piles Grove, New Jersey.
	The tavern was the home of several ghosts, including that of a man who buried his valuables during the Revolutionary War and returns at night to try to find them, a Tory spy who got hung in the attic, and Bluebeard the pirate, whose body was found in a and Bluebeard the pirate, whose body was found in a nearby creek.
	Geez.
	Bluebeard?
	Yeah, Bluebeard the pirate and like a spy in the attic.
	This is just one little corner of the hauntedness of New Jersey.
	It seems to be the most haunted place in the world.
	It certainly is.
	Yeah.
	At least on this show, it definitely is.
	Bluebeard.
	Go to the next one.
	I just want to recommend for a book club in the future, Hired by James Bloodworth, He's a commie, but he makes good points.
	And he talks shit about modern leftists a lot.
	It's great.
	For my Romanian co-workers, England is a country where there are two types of people.
	Those who want you to go home and those who write letters to liberal newspapers, waxing colourfully about how hardworking you are.
	Full of great quotes, and I'll read more of them to you on Friday's Zoom call.
	Yeah, there's a very good insight to England there.
	I always do enjoy when foreigners write about England.
	It's the best stuff.
	Yeah, yeah.
	My mate Radu's Romanian.
	He's a comedian.
	He's very funny.
	Radu Isaac, if you get a chance to check him out.
	But he's got this great line about how he doesn't really want to be in the UK, but he couldn't get into America.
	And nobody ever heard of the British Dream.
	And also, like, you know, they showed a lot of, like, Western...
	They showed a lot of British TV on the TV in Romania.
	And he's like, yeah, Britain looked better on TV. Listen, it's funny when he does it.
	Okay.
	It's funny when he says it.
	Well, also, I love that we didn't have a dream.
	I mean, yeah, because we made it reality.
	Found a quarter of the Earth.
	It was pretty good.
	Man, we didn't aim very high.
	Only a quarter.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hey, guys.
	Sorry about the last post.
	I know it was a bit doom and gloom.
	So, I thought I, um...
	Make a more uplifting post about guns.
	So during the lockdowns, there were these adverts about relinquishing firearms to the authorities, and I couldn't help but think that these commercials were put up because the authorities were scared of an insurrection of some kind or a national revolt.
	I imagine some of those conversations did take place.
	Otherwise, on your Command and Conqueror, I love this screen as well.
	Good faction.
	Go to the next one.
	I am wondering what is the legality of that.
	Because if it's a public pot, if I get a little cage, you just take some ducks home and just have them as pets.
	Like, is that illegal or not?
	In England and Wales, you're generally allowed to domesticate wild animals on unowned land, but you're not allowed to do this if there is a substantial claim already existing on either the animal or the land.
	Birds in particular are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act in 1981, so sorry lads, no stealing the ducks from the ponds I'm afraid.
	That's poaching.
	We had a couple of ducks when I was growing up because I think they got injured and so my dad took them in and we had them in this big chicken wire thing.
	Quite cool having a couple of ducks.
	We used to have a couple of ducks that would come up every summer to lay their eggs right outside our house and then it never worked.
	So they just came back every single year, no ducklings.
	Oh no!
	But then, I wonder if we just took them.
	Because once the ducks come to you, and you just go like, here's some food, I'm walking to my house.
	But then I think if you take the eggs, they'll be fertilised, and then we'll have a little duck inside.
	Which can be off-putting when you're trying to make a pancake.
	Well, no, I just grow more ducks and then have a duck empire.
	Oh, right.
	And then you have pancakes later.
	Those ducks have started laying eggs.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, that's my ideas for, well, duck husbandry?
	I don't know what you call it.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Duck husbandry, that's the next stage of wokeness.
	Marrying a duck.
	So the written comment's on the website.
	Alexander P says, The child who knows his dad and believes...
	Sorry.
	The child who knows his dad and believes crime is always bad must be punished.
	That's what these school boards are actually doing.
	Not sure I understand the one.
	L2112 says the insanity of different laws of different groups will fragment society and lead to balkanization.
	And finally, what happened in Rwanda?
	One cannot help but think that some kind of violent purge is the desired end result of the people pushing this ideology, given the vitriol and double standards they're so keen on pushing.
	It cannot be simply incompetence.
	Yeah, I mean, the progressives genuinely want a race war.
	I mean, they talk about this on the regular as well, whenever they talk about, like, racial justice.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, you guys literally do just want a race war, okay.
	Yeah, and it seems...
	It's insane.
	It seems less good for society than encouraging people to not...
	To not race war?
	Yeah, to not race war.
	Race war is generally a bad thing.
	If you're going to be Jussie Smollett about the whole thing, you know what I mean?
	Podcast of the lowest is stand against the Democrats and stand for no race war.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Man, the right have changed.
	In the 30s, I think it was the right trying to foment the race war.
	And now here's the conservatives, well, the liberals.
	I'm not for race war.
	That's right, I'm a conservative.
	Race war is bad.
	That's the controversial message.
	They'll get us cancelled.
	The Dems are banging the table going, no!
	Robert Longshaw says, it's nice to see that the Democrats have come to the conclusion that negative racial stereotypes are fully represented the entire race of misbehaving individual.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no.
	He writes...
	Omar Awad says the biggest obstacle to equality for minorities is denying them meritocratic outcomes.
	equity is a self-fulfilling prophecy where the harder you try to force it into happening, the worse the effects on all involved very true, Omar Baron von Vorhock says remember those right-wing Christian groups that claimed the alphabet people would corrupt students and brainwash them into being gay remember how we used to call them crazy and dismiss them right now I had to admit to my redneck uncle that he was right all along and trust me there's nothing smugger than a conspiracy theorist who's proven right I mean, yeah.
	I mean, I don't know if you saw the clip a while back.
	Some LGBT activists got together, I think it was in San Francisco, and made a song called We're Coming For Your Children.
	Yeah!
	And it was sort of, it was a bit, you know, it was tongue-in-cheek.
	It was, like, supposed to be mocking the idea that they're coming for the children.
	But they sort of mocked it by openly saying that's what they were going to do, which only really works if, you know, I don't know, that's a difficult sort of satire to pull off.
	But then people looked into who was in the music video.
	And it was all people.
	Three people were nonces.
	Oh, no!
	See, that's when, like, nonsense, like, that's when satire saying, like, oh, it's ridiculous that you're accusing us of being nonces doesn't work when you're actually nonces.
	You can't...
	Say that it's wrong to call you nonsense when you're nonsense.
	The Christian right did look good that day.
	Let's put it that way.
	So, Simplicitus Simplacid Simus?
	If black kids aren't punished as harshly as white kids, could it not lead to them misbehaving more because they know they'll get away with it?
	Also, it just reinforces the racist CRT worldview and denies black kids an agency or responsibility for their actions.
	It wasn't your fault, buddy.
	It was white supremacy that did it.
	Absolutely correct.
	This is why meritocracy is good compared to racial laws.
	Re-Sim.
	So Washington State School is going to punish some students harder than others because of the colour of their skin and not the content of their character for equity.
	Time for Jim Crow 2.
	Back, but this time for the black.
	Zen Chan says she is a people.
	Well, we can tell she's not an English teacher.
	Or at least not a good one.
	So, yeah, that's also true.
	Blend on this.
	Student of history.
	Imagine basically saying, non-white culture is behaving like demons, and then saying with a straight face, I'm helping.
	Certainly aren't.
	You're moving to the Supreme Court Justice comments.
	Okay, so Supreme Court Justice Baron Von Warhawk...
	Fantastic name.
	Raises a good point.
	You know what's the best part about her thing, though?
	Because even if she gets through, there's a case coming up, mentioned by Ted Cruz, the Harvard one, which is going to decide whether or not diversity hires are constitutional or unconstitutional.
	And because of the way the court's stacked, it's almost certainly going to be made unconstitutional, but she is only there because of diversity hires.
	So she's going to have to sit there whilst the court makes her position and how she got there illegal, which is just beautiful irony there.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And again, could have been avoided if Joe Biden just hadn't been like, oh, next one's going to be a black woman.
	You know, just hire the black woman without saying, let the white males waste their time applying and then secretly give it to them.
	Look what happened.
	Don't openly state you're going to be racist.
	We could do the right thing instead, but of course that's not going to happen with Joe, so at least on that one.
	Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
	George Hap says, why would Biden's handler pick a Supreme Court nominee that's lenient to pedophiles just as the Ghislaine Maxwell trial is going on?
	I guess we'll never know.
	So yeah, all those powerful Democrats being caught up in that, like Bill Clinton, I mean, you've got to feel sorry for Prince Andrew.
	He got to that island and he was like, man, there's a lot of teenage girls here.
	Is this all legit?
	And then he looks around, there's Bill Gates, there's Bill Clinton.
	He's like, man, I'll be safe.
	And yeah, then it turns out he's not.
	Well, except he is because his mum's got seven million quid to give him.
	What else?
	John Wade says, she admits the definition is biological and I agree.
	well that's deeply transphobic John.
	Rhys Sims says seems that Judge Jackson needs to go back to kindergarten if she believes you need a biology degree to define what a woman is however we all know that she knows a woman is an adult human female but doesn't want to anger the democrat base before the supreme court nominee is chosen and I think that's you know we're seeing that a lot with the gender ideology stuff like the
	So the swimmers that swam against Leah Thomas wrote a letter to the NCAA, you know, complaining that, you know, they said she's got every right to, you know, we respect her pronouns and we respect her identifying as a woman.
	But just not in the swimming competition.
	Like, come on, there's like a lot of advantages you get if you've been through, you know, biological male puberty.
	Which, you know, is fair enough.
	But none of them wanted to sign it.
	And they stated, we're worried about our future employment prospects.
	Because it's basically a hate crime!
	Sometimes you've got to do the right thing.
	Yeah, Grizzly says, with how Wokies can't define a woman, I'd love to hear them try and define what a man is!
	Well, yeah, Grizzly, with a name like Grizzly, automatically a man.
	But there's a lot of things, because people say, oh, you can transition to being a man.
	No, you can't.
	You've got to buy a fridge.
	You've got to have been in many fights.
	You've got to drink scotch.
	No one is born a man.
	No one is born a man.
	You've got to walk down a lot of roads, like Bob Dylan said.
	How many roads?
	Nobody knows.
	The answer's blown in the wind.
	Somebody said something about that.
	Bald Eagle, 1787, says, I doubt this MAP sympathizer.
	That's a minor attracted person.
	That's the word they're trying to use for...
	Fancy a word for nonce.
	Fancy word, fancy leftist word for nonce.
	I doubt this minor attractive person sympathiser will be nominated.
	Dems can't afford to have any more horrible crap thrown at them, especially when it comes to making children venerable, I think he means vulnerable, to predatory practices.
	So yeah.
	I think we'll do it.
	What I always wondered is why if you're an applicant for this, and you're in before that, because they always do the same thing, or at least it's the tradition now, that you just say, oh I don't know, you try and avoid the questions, because you don't want to seem partisan at all.
	I always thought, screw it, go partisan in the other direction.
	Yeah, it worked for Trump.
	If you're the Supreme Court Justice candidate, just endorse the other side's policies and then just get all the votes.
	I don't know why they don't do that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Maybe we'll see one day.
	Yeah.
	Shall we do another one?
	Sure.
	So Kevin Fox says, Biden, the next Supreme Court justice will be a black woman.
	That's from the same man who filibusted the S out of the Republican black female candidate for the Supreme Court when he was a senator.
	So apparently stopped a Republican.
	I don't remember this happening.
	It stopped a Republican candidate for the Supreme Court getting in who's a black female.
	I also love who's like, quick, give me a diversity hire and the best they could do was a non-sympathiser.
	It's almost as if they wanted one.
	This is why you don't do diversity hiring.
	Do best for the job.
	Yeah.
	I mean, just to provide balance, maybe, you know, I don't know.
	No, I can't find a way of providing any balance.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	I was going to try.
	Well, I can with MOD, but with noncing, you know, there's just no balance.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	So yeah, do you want to do the real videos of Russian disinformation?
	Sure, I didn't know if you were finished.
	Anthony S says, History books in the future.
	It turns out World War III was actually started by Russian pranksters.
	Maybe.
	Free will 2112.
	The British Navy is more powerful than the Russian Navy.
	We don't have to tow our aircraft carriers around and our economy is much larger, meaning our forces could potentially be more powerful.
	They do, however, have a bigger population and lots of tanks and artillery.
	I am not sure Crimean War II would...
	The rematch would be a good idea.
	Yeah, this is obviously the debate with the British, because we've made so many cutbacks on our land army as well, it's kind of getting a bit of a problem.
	Kakarinova, who was a...
	I don't know who it was.
	I think it might have been Nigel Farage that pointed out the number of migrants, illegal migrants who come over is actually now larger than the British Army.
	It's just like, okay.
	The British Army has just been cut and cut and cut for reserves, which I'm sure is ideal.
	Patrick Blackadder said it's embarrassing for the government to be a prank call victim, but it's okay to have pronouns at the RAF. Yes, they're not embarrassed about that.
	Remember how many pronouns as well.
	It wasn't he, him, her, she, her, they.
	No, it wasn't even just the non-binary ones.
	Yeah.
	It was just like, that's normal.
	It's going to cause problems when they're coming over the intercom, you know?
	Yeah.
	But at the same time, like, if Zerper fires a sidewinder into some, like, Russian communist face...
	Still going to blow his head off.
	Yeah, but then we're going to go, good job, lad.
	We're not going to say, good job, Zerper.
	Good job, Zerper.
	So, Chris Wolfe says, the UK would definitely beat Russia in a land war because Leo's dad has a...
	That's right, Chris!
	That is right!
	So big it's banned!
	Alex L says...
	Oh my god.
	This is true.
	This is a great story.
	Whilst on board, they inspected the fleet.
	To show their appreciation, they communicated in a gibberish made-up words drawn from Latin and Greek.
	They bestowed fake military badges and repeatedly showed amazement or appreciation by exclaiming, If you want to read more, go and see The Dreadnought Hoax.
	That is completely true and is one of my favourite stories of British students having fun.
	Oliver Barlow says, I see this idea about Taiwan, I'm not convinced that it's serious.
	Well, I think China's looked at the reaction to...
	Well, number one, it's looked at the reaction from America and from the West.
	Because remember, the West is an enormous market for China.
	So China can't really economically function without selling all their nonsense in the West.
	And the West has responded incredibly...
	In terms of sanctions, incredibly punitive and really unified as well.
	And also militarily, although we haven't stepped in, we're obviously primed and ready.
	If a Russian foot steps over into Poland, it's all going to kick off.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So, I think China would like an orderly, like they want to take over the world, but in an orderly fashion.
	So they're not going to storm into Taiwan, creating chaos and conflict.
	I think they're going to quietly dock with it.
	Like, you know, like they've started taking over Hong Kong in a way.
	Maybe.
	I always hear this argument, and you get the rhetoric every six months from China.
	It's like, we will retake Taiwan.
	In six months' time, we will retake Taiwan.
	From what I've seen, or at least just from a purely military perspective, it doesn't seem that they have the capabilities to even do it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Taiwan's a pretty big island, pretty big country, and has a pretty motivated military and a motivated population who don't really want to be ruled by the Chinese communists.
	People have been thinking about this problem for a long time.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	They're a bit like Ukraine in that sense.
	Honourable mentions, Marcus Melville says, My secondary school also had alpha cutisase.
	No.
	Chris Wolfe, Thank you, Leo.
	It's insane how obvious the advertisements are with this woke crap.
	Almost always a gay couple.
	If not, they are interracial.
	If not, one is clearly non-binary.
	And if they are playing to the black crowd, a black straight couple.
	If they are playing to kids, some non-binary human.
	Next ad that comes on, pay attention to who is present.
	Everything is intentional in commercials.
	Ask why they made these choices and how they want you to see the world.
	Interesting.
	It's a fair point, because I know a lot of advertising agencies in England seem to be based in London, and therefore they all have this in mind, but it's just if you based your view on demographics of the UK by advertisements on UK television, I think it's 40-50% of the population should be black.
	There's some organization that studies this stuff, because they just find it funny.
	by people saying that you know people of color or discriminate against in tv were not represented on the tv so then someone did a study and just like well here's the percentage yeah you're actually overrepresented yeah it's just like quite a lot if you live in london you assume that you know the uk is a lot more ethnically um diverse or you know heavily ethnic than it than it is but if you get outside london and get inside the big population centers you know the uk is still The last sentence, it was 86% or 87% white.
	That's probably...
	That's come down substantially, but it's still going to be...
	Even according to London's demographics, though, the TV is still completely distorted because of obvious decisions.
	Yeah, my mate Darius, he's a comedian.
	He's also a person of colour, so he can investigate these things without being called a racist.
	No, he's Iranian.
	Oh, okay.
	But he did a...
	Well, apparently not, according to Victoria Corrin.
	I'm racist for criticising Nazeem Zagari Ratcliffe or whatever she's called.
	I think I pronounced her name right.
	But it's hard to pronounce some names.
	I wouldn't expect somebody from overseas to be able to pronounce...
	A Welsh name or a Scottish name perfectly.
	It's literally a foreign tongue.
	My tongue doesn't do those sounds.
	This is why you can't pronounce Russian words perfectly as an English speaker.
	Diaries went through adverts, did a study of adverts for a comedy bit.
	All the people of colour were...
	It was always white guys with the gambling problem.
	I know this actually did happen.
	I think it was the grooming gang scandal.
	It was in Yorkshire.
	The Yorkshire police wanted to put together an advert to warn children to basically be like, you know, be careful of grooming gangs.
	They filmed the whole thing.
	Perpetrators were Pakistani, so it was rejected.
	On that basis, they promoted racial stereotypes.
	They were like, yeah, but the stereotype's true, and we're talking about girls getting raped, and still...
	What sort of...
	What's...
	The left in this country, in the UK, to put fear of looking racist above the worst, the absolute worst crimes in humanity.
	To look the other way for two decades while these things are going on a huge scale, on an industrialised scale.
	It's so petty as well.
	Something like that.
	Can we show the people who are doing the raping in Yorkshire to be doing the raping on the TV in Yorkshire?
	No.
	And even, you know, the BBC did that show, the series Three Girls.
	It was a really, like, you know, and it doesn't even look at the worst excesses of the grooming gangs, but it's still, it's a heart-wrenching, just a horrible, you know, really well done, amazing show.
	But it was criticised for fomenting racial division.
	The thing that foments the racial division, the thing that foments the division is ignoring the problem.
	If you dealt with the problem, then you wouldn't be feeding Tommy Robinson and whoever else.
	They wouldn't have any ammunition.
	I've made a TV show about how the Nazis killed loads of Jews.
	Well, you know, that TV show has caused the Holocaust.
	No, it was the Nazis, mate.
	Yeah.
	What?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	M1Ping says, curious how the judge nominated for being a black woman can't define what a woman is.
	Let's ask her what black is next.
	That's actually a great idea.
	Ted Cruz, if you're listening.
	No, ask her.
	I want to hear.
	I want to hear why Ted Cruz isn't black.
	And why plenty of black people also aren't black.
	Because they didn't vote for Donald Trump.
	We'll end on this one.
	So Kevin Fox says, There we are.
	It's a nice, relaxing joke there.
	I've got a note from John here saying, remind them, this weekend, Sunday, the clock go forwards one hour to BST in the UK as well.
	So, we will...
	Our clock's changed.
	I've been getting rid of that nonsense because it's stupid.
	It is a nonsense.
	It's so stupid.
	I'm not a fan.
	Why do we, like, apparently it's because of farmers in Scotland that don't get enough sun, that don't get enough daylight in the morning.
	It's like, just get up when you want!
	I know I can get up when I want as well, but it's not the same.
	So, in China, you've got the one time zone.
	Yeah.
	Everything goes through Beijing time.
	Right.
	The guys in Xinjiang just get up at five in the morning.
	Right.
	Because it's eight o'clock.
	And the guys on the other side get up at, like, you know, what, 11am or something?
	It's close enough that it's not a problem.
	Oh, right.
	But it's just like, yeah, just live with it.
	Like, you don't need your weird daylight.
	And changing.
	Changing.
	Twice a year.
	Makes no sense.
	Suicides go up every time it happens as well.
	That's how annoyed people are at setting clocks.
	They can't set the clock.
	Thanks for work again!
	Yeah.
	It does happen.
	Smashing an alarm clock off their face.
	Anyway, we're out of time.
