	intro music Hello and welcome to the podcast L'Otzitas for the 29th of March 2022.
	I'm joined by Leo.
	Hello!
	And today we're talking about Today in Alphabet, another episode of that.
	Also, Victoria Cohen calling Leo a racist.
	She called me racist.
	Oh no.
	And then tried to justify it because I obviously hadn't been racist.
	Because if I was racist, I'd get arrested or Ofcom would have taken the clip of television down.
	Also, you have a card that says I'm officially not a racist.
	I do, yeah, yeah, that I can show to anyone, including Victoria Cohen.
	Yeah.
	Also, Florida man BTFOing the groomers, because he actually signed the bill a couple days ago, so I thought we'd go through the hoes who are mad about that as well.
	Anyway, let's mention the first things that are on the website, so the new stuff.
	So one of the new things here being the Rudyard Kipping Collection, number five now, Tommy.
	So this is on the poem about British Tommy, of course, and this is John going through all the different poems in their collection, so there's that.
	If you go to the next one, we have the Epoch series, Vive l'Empereur.
	So this is the life of Napoleon, and Carl and Beau decided to do a big old series looking at Napoleon's life and everything he'll get up to.
	So if you want to go and check that out, do subscribe to get access to that one.
	If you go to the next one, we have another premium video, this one being The Pfizer Documents They Don't Want You To See by Harry Robinson.
	So you can go and see what they're keeping.
	I remember when they got their documents leaked by the Albanians.
	Do you remember that?
	It got snuffed.
	You couldn't even report it on YouTube.
	So everyone got sent a document from Pfizer saying, here's the contract for it.
	And the Albanian government were the only ones who went, this is ridiculous, and then rejected it.
	And they just publicly leaked the whole thing.
	And in there, it was just Pfizer saying that we don't actually have to deliver a vaccine.
	There's no time period in which we have to deliver it.
	Also, you have to pay up front.
	And it's just like, no sane human would ever sign a contract like this for anything else.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But okay.
	And not absolving them of any responsibility for any unforeseen, which I guess I can understand because they rushed it through.
	It's like, if you want to wait eight years to end the pandemic, or you could just wait for Omicron to come along to it for you.
	But then just the agreement was just so one-sided.
	It was like, okay, no, like...
	No one would sign this under any normal conditions ever.
	I would have signed it.
	I'm always signing contracts that turn out to be terrible contracts.
	I had an agent and he wanted money.
	Apparently I'd signed a contract that meant I had to give him money for stuff that he hadn't got me.
	And I was in Australia doing the festivals and he phoned me up and he's like, "Leo, you've got to give me like, what, five grand or something for these shows?" And I'm like, "I'm not giving you five grand for these shows.
	I got these shows myself.
	You had nothing to do with it." He's like, "Yeah, but you signed a contract." I was like, "Well, obviously I didn't read the contract before I signed it." And he couldn't argue with that.
	He couldn't argue.
	So yeah, I kept all the money.
	Do you have a better agent now?
	Yeah, he actually fired me, even though, as my agent, he hadn't hired me.
	I was hiring him.
	He was like, Leo, Leo, Leo, Leo.
	You know what, Leo?
	I couldn't give a flying F anymore.
	F off, you're fired.
	It was Piers Morgan.
	Jacob Howe Douglas from HD Management.
	Oh, there we are.
	He's got his little dog.
	Name and shame.
	Yeah, named and shamed.
	And if we go to the last one here, we have also the premium hangout, How Has London Changed, that I believe we'll be doing after the podcast today.
	So that'll be 3.30 UK time today as well.
	So come and join us for that one.
	Otherwise, we'll get into the news and name and shame more agents, I suppose.
	Big year, people, to name and shame.
	Today in alphabet, don't really know what to call this, but just alphabet news, like pink news, seems to just endlessly happen, and I thought we'd go through some of it because it's totally true.
	If we load up this image, this is a meme from David here, and it's a bit tongue-in-cheek of course, it's just like, you know, LGBT propaganda, me trying to live my life.
	Some of it's kind of true, and we can see some of that being kind of true in nobody's little names, you know, subjects that don't matter, such as the Labour Party.
	If we go forwards, we can see Keir Starmer decided to do an interview on LBC, and he got to ask the question, so a woman can have a penis?
	Oh, the deadly question that nobody on the left can answer.
	He wasn't happy about this.
	I can answer it.
	Yes, they can have a penis.
	Let's play the clip.
	A woman can have a penis.
	Speaking of two penises.
	Nick, I'm not...
	I don't think we can conduct this debate with, you know...
	Sorry, have I offended you in some way?
	No, no, no, I just...
	A woman can't have a penis.
	I don't think that discussing this issue in this way helps anyone in the long run.
	What I want to see is a reform of the law as it is...
	But I also am an advocate of safe spaces for women.
	And I want to have a discussion that is...
	Anybody who genuinely wants to find a way through this, I want to discuss that with.
	I do find that...
	Too many people, in my view, retreat or hold a position which is intolerant of others.
	And that's not picking on any individual at all.
	But I don't like intolerance.
	I like open discussion.
	It was a yes or no question.
	Yeah.
	And what did you learn from that?
	Well, he's trying to have his cake and eat it.
	He's like, yeah, I want everybody to be able to self-identify, but I also want safe spaces for women.
	But those are two intractable positions.
	And obviously, there's times when people being able to self-identify and use whichever toilets they want is going to be the right thing.
	Because if you've got...
	Tets and you look like a woman, it'd be weird if you go into the gents.
	You know what I mean?
	So, even if you've got a penis.
	I don't know, in the UK we actually have a, maybe foreign countries don't, we have laws on the books that you have to have a separate toilet for disabled access, and if you go at least to universities in this country, especially at mine it was, every disabled access toilet is also labelled as a gender neutral toilet for these issues.
	But then there's going to be, because like 40% of Generation Z people now identify as transgender or queer or whatever, So now there's going to be a huge queue for, you know, all these people in wheelchairs.
	The disabled is going to be unique.
	They're going to be like, well, what on earth?
	Well, double up the disabled.
	You can walk.
	You can walk.
	You can walk to either of the other two toilets.
	This is my special toilet.
	But either way, it's a discussion of policy.
	Well, this is a discussion of philosophy in which he was just asked, can a woman have a penis?
	And his response was, I like tolerance and open discussion, which is why he was deadly afraid to answer that question.
	Yeah.
	The right answer is, depends how hot she is.
	That's your answer.
	That certainly is.
	And then he also says that we can't conduct this debate because it doesn't help, as if it's improper to even ask the question, because it points out a contradiction in the left-wing worldview, which is women's rights, but we don't know what a woman is.
	Yeah, and literally can't even have an attempt at answering the question.
	No, I mean, I think you're, as you call it, a compromise, that woman is an adult human female, and trans women are trans women, was a way of dealing with this, but Keir Starmer did not.
	I mean, that's the only solution to, you know, intractable problem.
	And also that, you know, there has to be some sort of, you can't just self-identify and have a big beard.
	You've got to have somebody come along from, like, the lads organization.
	Gets even worse than a big beard.
	Says you're, you know, yeah, you look like, you put some effort in.
	You look like a woman.
	You can be a woman.
	There's the argument there.
	But if we go to the next one, that was your answer to this situation.
	I should be shadow.
	What, woman's minister for labor?
	Yeah!
	Well, I'm a woman.
	If we get to the next link, please, John, then we can actually see that Keir Starmer did try this before.
	We featured this before because Carl mentioned it.
	I don't know if you can get this up, John.
	It's not appearing on the screen here.
	Yeah, there we go.
	Then this is Keir Starmer being asked to find a woman.
	Starmer replied, a woman is an adult or female, and in addition to that, trans women are women.
	So trans women are adult human females, meaning no male to female, trans women are trans women.
	Makes as much sense as you would guess.
	Yeah, I'm not playing that yet, don't worry.
	But the fact that he's then said that a trans woman is an adult human female who identifies as a trans woman, that doesn't make any sense.
	So again, just completely failed the situation.
	But we can compare this to the Conservatives, who were asked this question, or at least one Conservative list trusts.
	She was asked the same question in a roundabout way, which is, do women have vaginas?
	Is it fair to say that a woman has a vagina?
	Women do have vaginas Nick.
	That's that.
	Oh, I can't believe that's where we're at as a society.
	That's British politics.
	We're asking top-ranking politicians, do women have vaginas?
	And it's like a controversial thing if they say, yes, women have vaginas, or if they say women have penises.
	It's so weird.
	I believe she is actually, or at least meant to be, the women's minister as well.
	So it is good that she can at least say that a woman has a vagina, but the leader of the Labour Party, not so much.
	Not that again, no one in the Labour Party.
	I mean, obviously we're all for transgender rights and people being accepted and living the life they want to live, but a good balance is, you know, so women are adult human females and trans women are trans women.
	I'm for the tolerance approach to these matters, which is, you know, do as you wish, but there is a definition of a woman and adult human female is the right way to go about it, rather than saying...
	I don't know.
	It's improper to ask.
	Also, it can be anything formless, timeless, endless.
	Because if you can't define what a woman is, then the word loses all meaning.
	Yeah.
	Wherefore, women's rights.
	What is a woman?
	Yeah.
	And when it loses all meaning, then we have to use another word for adult human female.
	But there we are.
	We also have Sakir Starmer here saying that he also continues to claim for women's rights.
	As you can see, he hits back at J.K. Rowling's claims that Labour can no longer be counted upon to defend women's rights because he doesn't know what a woman is.
	It's a very good observation by J.K. Rowling.
	He responded, his hitting back here was, quote, Of course we can still stand for women's rights.
	Hitting back hard.
	Really, really changing the...
	No, there's nothing.
	Just, okay.
	I don't know what it is with Keir Star, but he really is just like a beige man.
	As in, there is so replaceable with anyone.
	I don't know what he does that brings anything to the table.
	It feels like everything he says has been carefully worked through focus groups rather than as a belief that he holds himself.
	But also just doesn't...
	If you take...
	Just have an opinion.
	Like, people want leadership.
	They're actually...
	Voters...
	This has been shown in studies.
	Voters...
	Aren't too concerned about what you stand for.
	I mean, obviously it matters, but as long as you stand for it, as long as you believe in it and put your weight behind it.
	That's the problem for the left, though, because you've got that opinion, which is like you need someone who stands for something rather than the corporate...
	suit man, right?
	However, if you watch Labour Party Conference, you can see some people who believe things genuinely.
	Like, it's not funny, even.
	So if we go to the next link, we can see just this is some of the compilations I made.
	Jimmy Savile.
	From the Labour Party Conference, this is day number four.
	And this was an individual who decided to say that trans comrades are under attack, just like our BAME colleagues, as if it's all the...
	Trans and being black are basically the same thing as well, but also this is the floor as it is.
	If we move forward, we can also see a lady who decides to then, after that, come up and call for tolerance.
	So this was a TERF back in the day.
	It used to exist amongst the left still for some reason.
	I hope you've left, lady, because good luck if you're still there being sane.
	I mean, it is quite nice to see all the feminists being slammed now.
	Yeah, when I was growing up, the feminists were all the right-on people.
	They were the equivalent of the trans rights activists.
	They're all in the garden being like, you're evil because you're a man.
	It's like, well, now you're evil because you're a feminist.
	How do you like that?
	How does it feel?
	That's what we've been...
	You've dug your own grave.
	Yeah.
	Do not call it a grave.
	It's the future you chose.
	Anyway, so she came up and tried to call for tolerance of Rosie Duffield existing and not being, you know, deleted from the party.
	And yeah, that went down well.
	As in, like, there were a whole two people that clapped and the rest of the lobby were all booing, of course, because it is what it is.
	They left.
	If we go to the next one, we can also see the next day.
	So this is the final day in which Kiyosama was about to give his speech.
	And this person came up and decided to denounce the whole conference and the party as being weak on transphobia by trans comrades.
	Why?
	Can we watch the clip?
	Or is it not enough time?
	I haven't clipped it.
	I don't know.
	But we won't bother because I can go find it.
	You can find it easily.
	Labour conference abridged day five and you'll find it.
	But it's just...
	I've done this before.
	I've shown it all before.
	But I wanted to put it up again just to make the point.
	This is the state of his party, right?
	Which kind of explains why he sat there.
	Crapping himself.
	I really don't want to answer this question.
	I really want to be anywhere else than being asked, do women have penises?
	Because he knows politically, regardless of philosophy, he is so screwed.
	It's something that's causing a rift in his party.
	It's the Europe.
	It's the Brexit of Labour, which caused a rift in the Tories for so long.
	And then David Cameron thought, well, I'll settle this by having a referendum that will obviously get rejected.
	Yeah.
	I love how the right had an issue, which was, we've divided the party, what, on the issue of joining the European Union or leaving it?
	You know, big stuff.
	What are the left-wing party debating?
	Do women have penises?
	Okay.
	Speaking of conservatives, though, I think...
	And I think a better, you know, liberal left-wing leader would say to his party, look, we need unity on this.
	Like, you know, like Tony Blair did, you know, back in the day.
	There is no unity on this issue.
	There's a correct position and a heretic position.
	If you ever want to have the Tories out of power and want to have a Labour government, you're going to have to compromise on some of your absolutist ideologies.
	I implore you to watch the conference.
	You will never find unity in this place.
	But speaking of trans-conservatives as well, I thought we'd mention one, which is Tom Harwood, who decided to have a crack at this himself as well, because most of the Conservative Party have all just said, yeah, women don't have penises.
	End of.
	Tom decided to go with, you either live your life authentically as a woman, or you do not.
	It's as clear as day, as in that's his definition of what a woman is.
	Do you live your life authentically as a woman?
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	So there's the airbrushed image there.
	Can I see the original?
	So if we scroll down, you might be able to find it, John.
	She's got a beard in the original one.
	That's the original one at the top there.
	And the quotes in here are the things that they touched up in this particular photo.
	Touched up.
	The touched up photo removed facial lines, skin decolorations, notable red impressions on her face caused by the goggles, and blurred the Adam's apple.
	I love how they say...
	They blurred the Adam's apple!
	The Adam's apple.
	Not his or hers Adam's apple.
	The Adam's apple.
	Why did they not say her Adam's apple?
	Adam's a gender-neutral name.
	I know, but think about it, though.
	Why did they not say her Adam's apple?
	Yeah.
	What's that about?
	Why don't you want to do that?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The media decided to blur it all.
	I'll call it an Anna's apple.
	If we go to the next one, we can also see someone pointing out that this is a photo...
	Oh, this was hilarious.
	...of the event.
	Can you guess which one is Thomas?
	Thomas.
	For people listening.
	I mean, the Independent actually, a couple of days ago, came out with this big long thing.
	They crunched all the data that explained why Lea Thomas does not have an advantage.
	And, man, you're going to tell me?
	Look at this photo!
	Don't worry, I've got a study.
	A study shows that she has an advantage.
	She's like two foot taller.
	She's way stronger.
	She's like, I mean, the one thing disadvantage she's got is that she's got external genitals, which must cause, create some drag in the water.
	But, I mean, apart from that, she's, you know, she's got almost masculine physique for a woman.
	Some would say, but for people listening, there's literally, like, all the girls around her have all jumped in, and they're within, like, what?
	Like, maybe 10 centimetres of each other diving into the pool, and Thomas over here is, like, what is that, half a metre in front?
	She's landing, like, halfway.
	Ridiculous.
	Halfway to the finish line.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	If we go to the next one, we can also see that it will keep happening until women revolt.
	It's up to the women in this case.
	Ah, they'll never do that.
	It's up to them.
	If they don't want to, and they want men to dominate the sport, fine.
	If they want to get some...
	Because the women are doing a terrible job of campaigning against trans women in sport.
	What they need is some men to transition to be women, and then stand up for them.
	Yeah.
	Because we're not just better at sport, we're better at getting ourselves out of sport.
	I don't know, maybe all the leadership positions of all the different female sports should be held by men, and then those men would gatekeep women's sport successfully, unlike the women who are not succeeding.
	Absolutely.
	This is a job for a man!
	Can I speak to the man in charge, please?
	So this is British Cycling has confirmed that men's cyclist Emily Bridge, whose boys' time for riding 25 miles in 2018 is two minutes faster than the current adult woman's record, can now compete at the elite level against women because Bridge identifies as a woman.
	Totally does.
	She's made an effort.
	She's got her earrings on.
	That's not good enough for me.
	If we go to the next one, we can see the article itself to be an actual one.
	And we have the evidence in here as well, which is just kind of depressing.
	But also, I know part of me is very much on Bridges' side of almost like, screw it.
	Like, if this is going to be the world you live in, screw it.
	No one's going to stop you.
	Like, this is the women's fault.
	As in, like, all of women's sport is controlled by women.
	The competitors, the leadership, blah, blah, blah.
	It's up to you to solve this, and if you cannot even gatekeep something this basic, then do you even deserve to have it, frankly?
	So Emily Bridge has continued to race against men for the past year whilst undergoing hormone therapy, and her successes include a gold medal at the recent university championships in Nottingham, because of course.
	However, her testosterone levels are now low enough to meet the criteria set out by British Cycling, the sport's governing body, for her to compete against women.
	Don't worry, I've got a study.
	I've got a study and a statistic that shows that it's fine.
	Not reality of your own eyes.
	Before coming out as trans, Miss Bridge set the junior men's national record for 25 miles in 2018 with a time just over 47 minutes.
	Two minutes faster than the current national record for adult women.
	Whilst Miss Bridge told Cycling Weekly that there was a drop in her stamina levels since taking the hormones, she had seen a drop back in men's endurance events.
	However, last month she won the bronze in the men's team pursuit at the University Championships in Nottingham and an individual gold in the men's points race.
	So even, you know, she's transitioning, but she's still competing against men and beating them.
	Yeah, she sat there going, uh, she, she...
	Bridge is saying that it's fine because I'm only getting bronze against the men.
	Basically a woman.
	I mean, I'm doing crap against men.
	I'm basically a woman.
	I can basically compete at the same level as any average woman, being only bronze and one gold as well.
	That's their position.
	Great.
	I mean, how upfront do you need it to be, women in sport, to do something?
	I mean, how much more can you even ask for to be shown that you are just being taken the piss out of, frankly, in this example?
	I mean, the dude literally won a gold, like, last month against the men.
	You're like, yeah, it could be against women.
	It's fine.
	Don't worry.
	I've got a study.
	Shows he's got enough testosterone.
	Or at least lack of it.
	Anyway, I thought we'd end this one last...
	It made women's sports more interesting.
	It certainly has.
	We'll go to the last section here.
	I mean, when was the last time you ever even gave a toss about women's sports until all this happened, frankly?
	I like the volleyball.
	I'm sure you do.
	And I thought we'd end this on one last story here, which John sent me.
	I don't even know what the make of it, but it is what it is.
	Woman sues IVF clinic for wrongly implanting male, not female embryo, from her wife during IVF, gave birth to son, and liked it to having a male fetus inside her to rape.
	But are you allowed to choose the gender during IVF? I thought that was a sort of banned thing.
	I don't know.
	This is in the United States.
	Ah, right, so it might be different.
	I think it's illegal over there.
	It might be illegal here.
	A sex assault survivor is suing New York IVF clinic after it allegedly broke an agreement to insert a female embryo inside her, and she gave birth to a boy.
	First question, how do you know?
	Remember?
	Have you asked a biologist to make sure?
	It's just been assigned male.
	I'm not just being rude to the individuals in this because of their situation.
	No, one of them is literally a diversity officer for a university.
	Who the person given birth?
	One of them, yeah.
	So, assistant dean for new student transitions at CUNY Casino Heather Williamsburg-Rotenburg.
	Her wife, Robbie, who also works at the university as a chief diversity officer, are suing CNY Fertility Albany in Latham on 11 counts, including breach of contract, medical malpractice, and battery.
	So, the wife, the one who's not been pregnant, is the diversity officer.
	Diversity officers...
	I would...
	What...
	What concrete benefits do diversity officers bring to society?
	They're only interested in certain types of diversity.
	There's parts of society that are sneered at and looked down on, like Brexit voters.
	And there's never a diversity officer making sure there's enough Brexit voters represented in their university.
	Diversity of thought is not important to a university.
	Get that in your head.
	Anyway, so they opted to implement each other's embryos into each other, meaning Robbie was given one of Heather's and Heather received one of Robbie's after their first miscarriage.
	The couple say they were assured the embryos implanted would all be female.
	And then 15 weeks passed, they go to the doctor and the doctor's like, wait, do you want to know what the sex is?
	And Heather replied, we're having a girl.
	As in, we already know.
	It's very important to me to have a girl, she added.
	But the couple were horrified to discover they were actually having a boy.
	With Heather since saying, learning that she had a male fetus inside her, and equating it to being, quote, just like rape.
	Which, oh boy.
	Oh boy, oh boy.
	They initially feared that another person's embryo had been implanted by mistake, rather than Robbie's, but subsequent testing revealed that the embryo did indeed belong to Robbie, the diversity officer.
	So, no, it certainly was not someone else's.
	I'll skip over some of this for the sake of time.
	The lady who was pregnant, Heather here, said, I had wanted skin-to-skin connection, but I ended up wearing things so he wouldn't touch my chest.
	When he did, it sent electric shockwaves through me.
	I started experiencing extreme anxiety.
	Plugged in.
	I don't know.
	I don't...
	I've never been pregnant, sorry.
	I mean, this is a mental health problem on her part.
	This isn't, you know, and also...
	Postnatal depression or whatever?
	And also it's very discriminatory because, you know, this baby has a particular biological sex.
	So we don't know if it's a man or a woman yet.
	So she's projecting all this onto...
	I mean, this is open discrimination.
	I thought this is a child welfare issue and, you know, maybe social services should be involved.
	I'll go back a bit because her reasoning as well just is really weird.
	So prior to her pregnancy, Heather had suffered trauma from being a victim of sexual assault after she left college, carried out by two men on two separate occasions.
	She told the Post that she never considered having a baby boy due to the assaults and because of the stigma in today's society about what it means to be a real man.
	I don't follow that at all.
	Like, therefore you don't want a boy because of weird gender ideology and because you were sexually assaulted by some men.
	Like, maybe?
	What a weird thing.
	But then she even goes on to say later that she started feeling anxiety.
	She would look at the baby and it would contort into the faces of all these grown men that I know.
	It was so creepy.
	Whenever that happened, I had to give the baby to Robbie.
	This is so sad.
	This is a poor baby.
	The babies are nothing wrong.
	I mean, I know maybe you're having some post-pregnancy mental health problems, if nothing else, by the looks of it.
	Yeah, this is a vulnerable baby.
	This is surely an issue for social services.
	I'm not being flippant at all.
	This is like a serious...
	You've got her that's clearly having some problems, and then you've got the partner there, Robbie, who is a diversity officer, so I don't trust them with anything.
	And, yeah, part of me is thinking, should you just call CPS and get the kid out?
	I don't know.
	Anyway, but then she goes on.
	Heather says that she has now bonded with Robbie.
	quote i feel immense guilt and shame because i wasn't able to emotionally present for him i don't want to play the victim that's the reason i'm doing this because i love my kids so much we think our son deserved that bond from the very start so she's suing the ivf clinic for as she thinks not informing them there's like a one percent chance it may be the other sex which presumably she's going to lose yeah because presumably that's in the small print somewhere you would have thought but anyway don't want to make that story just thought i'd end it off because it's insane
	and also again makes me wonder for the kind of people or at least some of them who are having kids uh Anyway, that's the end of Today in Alphabet.
	Maybe we'll be tomorrow in Alphabet some other time.
	Let's move on.
	Okay.
	Let's move on to me.
	So basically, last week I was called racist.
	Not for the first time.
	I mean, every time I've been called racist, I haven't actually been racist.
	But this is Victoria Corrin.
	So she's the daughter of BBC comedian Alan Corrin.
	And she overcame that difficult start in life to become a BBC comedian.
	Definitely no Tory-style nepotism going on there.
	She's also the wife of David Mitchell, the fat one from Peep Show.
	Do you know him?
	Oh, yeah.
	No chin.
	He's in that meme, you know, Are We The Bad Guys?
	Which is quite appropriate.
	So, basically, to give a bit of context, Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe is an Iranian-British dual citizenship person who has been imprisoned in Iran.
	She went to Iran against the advice of the Foreign Office, went to Iran, and was imprisoned for six years for allegations of spying, I think it was.
	But also because she's a national of Iran, like citizenship of Iran, it's not really our problem.
	At least this is a perspective a lot of people have because it's like, well, she's their citizen and that's her decision.
	Therefore, she only she only gained dual citizenship in 2013.
	I think it was because you told me that.
	And basically Britain had to pay 400 million pounds to get her back.
	And then she was released and her husband as well campaigned tirelessly for her releases.
	He went on hunger strike and stuff.
	So when she was released, after the government paid £400 million to Iran to get her back, she had this press conference, and she was a bit...
	Snide to her husband, I thought.
	And also she criticised the UK government a lot.
	She slammed us because we didn't get her out sooner.
	Yes, but the other side of your citizenship imprisoned you.
	And she didn't criticise the Iranian government at all.
	Apparently she's got family in Iran, so she can't.
	But we can see.
	So anyway, I discussed her release earlier.
	On this show, Headliners, which we do on GB News at 11pm every night, and it's just a fun show.
	We just zip through about 20 news stories in an hour from the next morning's headlines.
	So if you want to just play this from the start, I do my joke right at the start.
	Nazanin Zaghari-Rackliffe had some rather pointed words for the government at her first press conference back in the UK. A little bit of a marital dispute, in fact.
	Yeah, so this is reported in the Daily Mail and the Independent.
	So Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, which is Iranian for ungrateful.
	She's certainly split the room, hasn't she?
	Yeah, she has.
	She has.
	And, you know, so she had this press conference.
	Had a right-all-go at the British government for spending, like, what was it, £400 million to get her back?
	She's supposed to be a charity worker.
	Could you not think how much we could have done with that £400 million?
	Imagine how many sponsored walks that would have covered.
	I'd rather buy some Stinger missiles for Ukraine than...
	I mean, I think we can see why Rand...
	In a way, I can understand why she doesn't feel grateful because she probably recognises that it wasn't done as an act of generosity.
	We'd probably stop that instead of watching the whole thing.
	But yeah, so Victoria Corrin, Mitchell, tweeted saying, My word...
	It's not this...
	It's not that video.
	My word...
	I'm not one to criticise other people's attempts at TV. Oh, that's good.
	She's not one to criticise other people's attempts at TV. But if this stumbly, cackling, racist incompetence is what GB News puts out as a trailer, what on earth is the rest of it like?
	So, oh, well, turns out she does criticise other people's attempts at TV. So I tweeted back to her asking her to explain why she called me racist.
	She called the joke racist.
	So I said, according to Victoria Coren, my comments about Nazanin Zagari, I called her Markle, Nazanin Zagari Markle, which again was seized on as being racist, but actually it's about ingratitude.
	Yeah, but also the fundamental joke has nothing to do with race, it has to do with language.
	Oh yeah, yeah, we'll get on to that.
	So my comments about Nazanin Zagari Markle are racist.
	Could anyone explain this?
	Even put myself in the mindset of an overthinking, self-loathing white saviour.
	Wokest, I can't stretch to find the racism.
	And then she wrote a 5,000 word social scientist dissertation about why it's racist.
	So, I mean, brevity is wet.
	And she says, I'm about to post a long, possibly boring thread.
	It was boring, and I had to read it because it was about me, and I feel like I've been robbed.
	I didn't even count towards my class mark.
	I would have just clicked off.
	I didn't even...
	It was honestly like reading somebody's university course.
	But let's...
	I mean, there's a reason Twitter's got a character limit.
	But let's...
	If we scroll down, we can see the relevant bits.
	Basically, she says, Hi, Leo.
	Okay, look, I'm going to take it at face value that you genuinely don't see what I mean.
	It seemed patronizing to explain when you first asked.
	I was being sincere when I said you're obviously bright.
	Oh, she thinks I'm bright.
	I am.
	I'm dead smart.
	And I assume you get it.
	Also, tweets are limited, so it'll take a lot of blah, blah, blah.
	And where is it?
	So she says, again, that's not racist, you know, Jesus.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	She goes, oh yeah, so in it you say Nazanin Zagari Ratcliffe is Iranian for ungrateful, but Iranian isn't a language.
	The language is Farsi.
	Oh no, oh no, oh no.
	But the thing is, Farsi.
	But also who cares?
	We refer to languages all the time by different words if we need to.
	For a start, Farsi isn't the only language spoken in Iran.
	Iran is a multi-ethnic country.
	The Armenians in the north and whatnot.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So Farsi is spoken by, like, half the population.
	Also, you know, one of my best mates, Darius, is Iranian.
	I know all this stuff.
	I've dated Iranian women.
	Like, I know about Farsi, but the joke wouldn't be as accessible and wouldn't be as funny if I'd said Farsi.
	Like, saying Iranian is, you know, you're sort of...
	When you're telling a joke, you're sort of getting into the...
	I'm getting into the mindset of, you know, the sort of man in the pub.
	Yeah, it's Iranian.
	It's Iranian.
	It's like the objective is to make people laugh.
	Yeah, it's Iranian.
	You speak Iranian.
	You know what I mean?
	It's not funny if I'm like, well, actually, they speak...
	You're like, whatever.
	It's definitely funnier if you say Iranian.
	And like, all right, there's going to be some people saying, oh, but it's not funny if you have to explain it.
	I shouldn't have to explain it.
	You know what I mean?
	And also, like, not everything is to be funny for everybody.
	But anyway, so Victoria continues, you're saying her name or she stands for something Iranian as a sort of concept.
	And...
	No, I'm saying...
	I'm basically saying she's ungrateful.
	And she says, and it's a negative concept.
	It's nasty.
	It's ungrateful.
	In your joke, when you mix an unpleasant quality with the nature of being Iranian, you get this woman...
	No!
	That's absolutely...
	Where is she pulling this from?
	What madness is this?
	That extension of you can never say anything negative about anything Iranian, because that means you're saying everything Iranian is negative.
	Yeah, I'm not...
	It's insane.
	I'm not criticizing Iran.
	I am absolutely not criticizing...
	Glory to Iran!
	I think Iran's a wonderful country.
	I love their approach to LGBTQ rights.
	I love their approach to women's rights.
	You know, I love the vicious racism and terrorism that's funded and supported by the government.
	What's not to love about Iran?
	You know, I think Iran's a wonderful...
	Rest in peace, Soleimani.
	He was a good boy.
	He didn't do nothing.
	In case Victoria Corrin is watching this, I'm being sarcastic.
	That's what comedians do sometimes.
	We're not always speaking the absolute literal truth.
	Anyway...
	But also, Iran isn't a race.
	If I criticise Iran, I'm not being racist.
	I'm being, at worst, xenophobic against a particular country.
	But I wasn't...
	You can do worse than Iran.
	Iran's a multi-ethnic country, so I wasn't criticising a particular race.
	I wasn't criticising Iran anyway, so I wasn't even being xenophobic.
	And I was criticising one specific person, and that person was Nazanin Zagari Ratcliffe.
	Victoria's very certain that Iran did nothing wrong ever.
	And you dare say anything negative about anything Iranian that might besperge the good name of Iran.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And also, I'm not saying she eats babies.
	I'm saying she's a bit ungrateful to her husband and to the country that got her out.
	And also isn't mentioning anything about the country that locked her up for six years and does terrible things.
	I mean, the Iranian regime...
	So, yeah.
	So, you know, fair enough.
	She thinks it's a bad joke.
	You can say it's a bad joke.
	I personally think for a joke to be truly funny, some people have to find it completely unfunny.
	It's like, you know, when you're in school and somebody cracks a joke.
	I mean, I know when you were in school.
	I'm assuming you don't get into school now.
	But somebody makes a joke and the teacher says that's absolutely not funny.
	It makes it funnier.
	Yes.
	You know what I mean?
	It just does.
	I don't know how it works.
	But calling it racist is something else.
	And our explanation of it is incoherent and doesn't match any sort of recognised definition of racism.
	You know, it's nonsense.
	So, and also she previously defended Jimmy Carr for his joke about gypsies.
	So he said that, he basically made a joke saying the thousands of, the hundreds of thousands of gypsies, Roma gypsies and stuff that were killed in the Holocaust was a positive.
	Obviously he wasn't being serious.
	He didn't mean, because he was making a joke.
	Yeah, no, well known for promoting Holocaust against the Gypsies, Jimmy Carr.
	I mean, it's all he talks about.
	I mean, this joke was a long line of statements in which he unironically was just like, you know what, some more camps would be good.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He definitely didn't do a comedy gig or anything.
	No, on stage, filming, a comedy gig.
	But like, but anyway, Jimmy's joke, you know, is objectively, you know, there's no, like, you'd have, you have to go through so many mental gymnastics to see my joke is racist.
	Jimmy's joke, much more straightforwardly, you know, objectively can be seen as racist if you take it to literal value.
	There's actually an ethnic group there.
	The implied, yeah, there's, and even, even the sort of implied, you know, it hinges on, you know, society recognition of society looking down on this group or, you know, this group not being welcome in society.
	So, although obviously he's using a hyperbole to, you know, to say, like, the Holocaust was positive.
	But, you know, she tweeted in support of Jimmy Carr with his joke about the Holocaust and gypsies.
	So, I mean, that's definitely...
	If you scroll down, you can actually see her tweet.
	So she...
	I love Jimmy Carr.
	Friend has made a thousand jokes I wouldn't make myself.
	He's a properly decent cherson.
	I mean, well, yeah, that's great that, you know, you can see him as wonderful.
	We should extend that to other people.
	And she also criticized my colleague, Diane Spencer, for forgetting her lines.
	So this is interesting.
	This is quite revealing about what she says.
	It's genuinely worth watching the GB News clip for the bit where the inexplicably guffawing woman forgets her lines and just says so.
	Now, inexplicably guffawing.
	She's not inexplicably guffawing.
	She's laughing because I've said a joke and she finds it funny.
	And, like, Victoria doesn't find it funny.
	You know, I'm sure everything Victoria says is found hilarious by everybody.
	But what she says is the woman doesn't name her or anything, just, you know, minimizes her, dehumanizes her by calling her a woman, forgets her lines.
	I don't know.
	But it shows that Victoria Corrin, when she's doing a show, she's got writers, she's got a script.
	So that's what's revealing about that.
	Victoria, sorry, I write my own jokes.
	I write my own jokes and I come up with that show's ad-libbed.
	So we're constantly running out of line.
	I think it's a lot better than some of your scripted stuff.
	I'm sorry.
	But hey, if she wants to come on and prove that wrong...
	Well, funny enough, Darius, who's Iranian, that I do the three-speech podcast with, invited her on and she didn't reply.
	She's racist against Iranians, so she snubbed him.
	So, yeah, so she...
	I mean, it's good to see sisters supporting each other, but...
	Yeah, I'm proud of the show and I'm proud of that segment.
	I think the show, you know, works as a concept.
	You know, in that segment about Nazanin Zagari Ratcliffe, we didn't just, you know, all right, I'll make some crass jokes because I love making crass jokes.
	My favorite kind of joke.
	But we cover the real politic of, you know, shifting geopolitical loyalties and, you know, energy due to the Ukraine invasion.
	So, you know, we're having to butter up and get cozy up to Iran a bit more because we can't get our oil and gas from Russia.
	And Simon made a comment about the prayer mat.
	And Nazanin, we mentioned Nazanin might have been radicalised while she was in jail.
	But it was a jokey reference to Homeland.
	Because that's what happened in Homeland.
	And there's no way that's racist either.
	And regardless of whether, you know, Victoria agrees with my joke or not, it's a valid comment that represents the opinions of people who aren't typically seen or heard in mainstream comedy on the BBC. Like, that joke wouldn't have been cracked on any BBC thing.
	They would have just, you know, gone with it.
	No, they would have cut it.
	The stale, like, lame, you know, oh, the British government's racist, Britain's racist, everybody have a go at Britain.
	And it worked as a joke because people found it funny.
	A lot of people find it funny.
	Not everybody has to find a joke funny for it to be funny.
	And, you know, if you pick it apart, you know, it might not seem as funny because you're seeing it shorn of delivery, context, nuance, character and irony.
	I mean, Victoria takes the joke at literal face value and leaves no room for the concept that, you know, I might have been joking.
	And Victoria has said worse things than me or even Jimmy Carr, such as in this clip where she, well, let you see what she does.
	Victoria's Dictionary.
	Is it my own dictionary?
	No way.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Includes all rude words.
	I've customised the cover.
	You can see it's got, I've done this over the years, various sort of creatures.
	It did have a Nike tick on it, but they said you can't have brand names, so I've just changed it into a swastika.
	So she's drawn a swastika on her book.
	I can't believe she's joined the Nazi party.
	That's the only inference I can conclude.
	She can't be making a joke.
	She must be a Nazi.
	Even if she's not a Nazi, what she's doing is minimizing the death of 8 million Jews in the Holocaust.
	I'm genuinely offended and disgusted.
	I imagine Taskmaster the next time she goes on is going to be a bit awkward.
	She's probably going to have to build a concentration camp.
	Dressed as a bunny rabbit or something.
	So Victoria herself is openly a Nazi.
	Now we know.
	And what's interesting, she's also classist as well.
	In some of the other tweets, I couldn't find them, but she was talking about me as if I wasn't as intelligent and educated as...
	And all that sort of stuff.
	And I see this a lot with, you know, the BBC. Because everybody that does BBC comedy, most of them were Oxbridge educated.
	And, you know, they see me with, you know, my rough calloused hands and my provincial accent.
	They assume that I'm some oik.
	Actually, I'm middle class.
	I go up to Scotland, I'm totally middle class.
	I had to come to England to be working class.
	You get that with Yorkshire men as well.
	No matter how upper class they are in Yorkshire, they could be the richest guy in all of Yorkshire, but they come down to the south and it's like, man, you must have had a rough life.
	Do you know how to use cutlery?
	You know what I mean?
	It's like, yeah, I'm posh.
	I'm posh.
	Like in Scotland, I'm literally posh.
	I've got credit cards, everything.
	Anyway...
	I've got two cows.
	Yeah.
	And is Victoria even correct, and Nazarene Zagari Ratcliffe even correct to blame the current government?
	The £400 million debt for tanks is for tanks that Iran ordered from the UK, 1,500, I think, from the Labour government in the 70s.
	But they weren't delivered after the UK-friendly Shah of Iran was deposed in the Islamic Revolution and replaced with a sort of less UK-friendly death-to-the-west type regime.
	So we owed this money for the tanks we didn't give them, but the debt couldn't be paid while we were in the EU because EU sanctions against Iran stopped it.
	So by taking us out of the EU, the current Tory government enabled the release of a prisoner who's being held for ransom for money stolen from Iran by Labour.
	So she owes her release to Brexit?
	She owes a release to Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, and the woman who put the cat in the bin.
	And the person responsible for her is the Labour Party.
	The person responsible for Nazeem Zagari Radcliffe.
	What do you make of this rumour?
	Because I've seen people rumouring around that she's actually trying to cosy up with Labour by blaming the government to then have a position as a Labour Party MP and run in the next election.
	Oh god.
	That's true.
	I would not be surprised.
	What has happened to the Labour Party?
	Their next logo, their next emblem...
	Should just be like, we hate our former white British, like, indigenous working class base.
	We absolutely loathe and detest you.
	We see you as the absolute underclass and we'll do anything in our power to destroy you.
	Hashtag Palestine.
	Hashtag women have got penises.
	Do you know what I mean?
	It's absolutely nonsense.
	They really need to recapture this idea that Britain's this horrible racist place.
	It's just not true.
	It's absolutely not true.
	Alright, there's some racism somewhere.
	But this is why I think calling someone racist should be a hate crime.
	So at the moment, if you, you know, if you commit a crime, if you, you know, shout racist abuse at someone, then that's a hate crime.
	But I think calling someone racist without any evidence or justification should also be a hate crime because it stirs up hatred.
	It's far more hatred than abuse.
	It's grounds for defamation or libel.
	Man, if you go out in the street and shout racist abuse at someone, everybody's going to turn around at you and be like, what on earth are you doing?
	Because people aren't horrible.
	Whereas if you go out in the street and shout, oh, he's a racist, people are going to be like, oh, he's a racist.
	You see it on Twitter every day.
	You know what I mean?
	See it with Victoria Corrin calling me a racist.
	All her little acolytes piling on me, directing all this hate towards me.
	It's a hate crime.
	And it's clear that the word racist has been completely decoupled from its original definition and is now as meaningful as screaming witch.
	I mean, Victoria, of all people should know this, her brother Giles was cancelled from his TV show after being accused of being a racist, incidentally by Syma Ferdows, who just calls everybody a racist.
	She called me a racist and got me in loads of trouble.
	That's why I've got the letter, the certificate of non-racism.
	It's just a thing that people do these days.
	And it's completely devalued the word racist.
	So now when I see somebody being called racist on Twitter, my first thought isn't, are they a racist?
	It's like, oh, that person wants to smear that person.
	That person wants to get that person shunned and cast them out.
	And the reasons for calling people racist have nothing to do with racism.
	So Simon Ferdows called me racist because I'm right-wing, even though the Tories have got the most ethnically diverse cabinet in UK political history, proving that ethnicity is no barrier to forming a terrible government.
	So, you know, being right-wing isn't racist in and of itself.
	Victoria Corrin calls me racist because I've criticised one person who I didn't actually know.
	I didn't even know she was black.
	You know what I mean?
	She's a radio.
	No, she's a radio.
	You know what I mean?
	Literally the Aryan race.
	I didn't know.
	I didn't know she was Aryan until she spoke at the press conference.
	You don't assume.
	I don't know why the left always have to jump.
	They take identities so seriously.
	I've got to find out who this person is, where they're from.
	I just thought she was...
	Lots of people in Britain have got names like...
	She's part of the Aryan race, so I mean, denounce for being a Nazi anyway.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, there isn't as much racism as there was back in the 70s or whatever.
	Certainly, you know, white on BAME racism.
	So, you know, now calling people racist is the number one way of showing, you know, hey, look, everybody, I'm not a racist, but that person is.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, now, you know, racism directed at white people is completely accepted and, you know, cheered on in the popular media.
	So we've got a video here of Sophie Duker.
	She tells a joke about killing white people.
	Like, white power is Trump Tower.
	Like, these things are put against each other.
	But when we say we want to kill whitey, we don't really mean we want to kill whitey.
	We do.
	But when we say we want to kill whitey, it's like...
	It's a capitalist...
	Not today.
	You've got to finish the show.
	But when people react to people saying that white privilege, whiteness is a capitalist structure.
	It benefits itself.
	It hurts white people.
	It hurts non-black people.
	It hurts black people.
	But still, this kind of...
	Fear of a black alternative.
	And it's these sort of rhetorics battled against each other.
	These extreme capitalist rhetorics of supremacy.
	Tell me more.
	Yeah, that's comedy.
	That's good comedy.
	And it's just the obvious question, of course.
	Would the BBC broadcast Jimmy Carr's joke about gypsies?
	No, it's racist, can't be shown, blah, blah, blah.
	A joke about killing white people, that's fine because it agrees with progressive ideology.
	But this is openly, you know, she openly states she wants to kill white people, which is, man, like, Jimmy Carr didn't do anything that bad.
	That's, you know, an open call to violence against white people.
	And it's not like she's speaking from a position of, you know, no privilege.
	She's immensely privileged.
	She's wealthy, privately educated.
	On state media.
	Yeah, Oxbridge educated, had a You know, easy route into comedy and all the rest of it.
	And obviously being, you know, ethnic is an absolute benefit, you know, in contemporary times.
	And being a woman.
	And also being queer.
	So she's queer.
	Is she queer?
	It's one of these things.
	Everybody just says they're queer now.
	But it doesn't mean anything.
	Well, you can be bisexual and do nothing, can't you?
	Well, they say they're queer.
	Quite a few comedians have come in and said, oh, I'm queer.
	I've never had any same-sex experience.
	I'm like, man, come on!
	At least have some...
	You know, like, if you lick one out, I will respect you.
	You can't be hijacking!
	You can't be hijacking that, like, you know...
	Sorry, is this you being like, this is our word?
	This is our word.
	Don't take this from me.
	You know what I mean?
	So, anyway, I got married.
	My best man was Iranian.
	I don't know if we've got a picture of him.
	There he is.
	The bad lad, the global jihad himself, Mr.
	Darius Davies.
	Average Iranian male.
	Yeah, that's how he dresses every day.
	He is, yeah, that's him.
	And you can listen to us on, we do a podcast together, it's called Three Speech Podcast, which is very funny.
	And yeah, he's Iranian.
	And he praises Iran every episode?
	Just a laugh.
	I'm not going to lie.
	But yeah, he's my best mate.
	Some of my friends are black.
	Honestly, my best mate is Iranian.
	Yeah, I don't get that.
	People are like, that's a pathetic racist response.
	It's like, no, the Klan don't have black friends.
	You dummy.
	It's not a pathetic response.
	It's a statement of reality.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's mental.
	And I guarantee all these people who point the finger about racism are all uptight as anything, have a real stick up their ass when they're around people of colour.
	I also woke people are the most racist.
	During Black Lives Matter, they're all posting pictures of 58 books they read on how to not be a racist.
	I think most people can not be a racist by not being a racist.
	If you have to read 58 books on how to not be a racist, you might be a bit of a racist.
	But anyway, to play this out, I know we've gone over time, sorry about that, but I've got some video of Victoria Corrin's stand-up.
	And obviously, she had a real tough time coming from a mining town and working as a dishwasher to save up to get the bus down to London.
	No, Dad's BBC comedian.
	She's the most gilded, easy path in the media of anyone.
	She's the most privileged, the latest, condescending, hypocritical.
	It's disgusting.
	The privilege that just reeks off these people.
	You can see when they actually get these opportunities, they absolutely, man, just crap the bed.
	So let's just play this out on a bit of Victoria Curran.
	I don't like growing up.
	I think you know you're getting old when your favorite day of the week is Sunday.
	Because you know how when you're a kid they're really boring, but now my idea of a good time is getting a glass of sherry and lying in front of the Waltons trying to figure out what their poll tax bill would be.
	I am getting old.
	I was 19 a few weeks ago.
	Now I can't walk 200 yards in a straight line without suggesting we stop for a cup of tea and a bit of apple strudel, which I can spew out all over the table while shouting about how when I was young, you could have a night on the town, a fish supper and still have change out of a hen.
	But I'm not violently ageist.
	I'm not one of these people that thinks it's funny just to see an old person fall over in the street or something.
	Unless they can't get up again, of course.
	Well, they brought it on themselves.
	I had nothing against old people at all till a couple of years ago, but they weren't content, were they?
	Not happy to just sit in their sheltered housing and eat walnut cake, they had to start going on blind date.
	I used to love that programme.
	I'd lie there every week, did they, didn't they, when it's 92-year-old Mavis and Ken from Bournemouth?
	I don't think so.
	Did they, didn't they, make it through the morning without coughing up phlegm and talking about the first time they saw a banana would be more to the point.
	Yeah, I'm British and even I'm just like, okay.
	There are going to be foreigners watching that being like, what the hell?
	You've seen me do comedy.
	It's better.
	Was it better?
	It's much better.
	And that's your objective opinion.
	That's not just because of politics.
	No, but also, what the hell were any of those jokes?
	Yeah, I agree.
	I think I'm better at comedy than Victoria Corrin.
	Talking about being privileged, I can't remember the name of the show, but there's one she does where it's like multiple things and you've got to get the clues.
	Yeah, would I lie to you?
	I think it's that one.
	Where they covered it up with Greek symbols and then someone wrote in and said it was pretentious, so then they changed it for hieroglyphs.
	It's just like, okay.
	Yeah, and also, yeah, like John says, she hates old people.
	It's funny when old people fall over and can't get up.
	So that means she hates old people and she wants them dead.
	Well, she is a member of the Nazi party.
	Well, yeah, yeah.
	She's obviously trying to cleanse society.
	Anyway, moving to Florida Man.
	So Florida Man is now BTFO-ing the groomers, and this is the Don't Say Gay Bill, as it was dubbed by the left, or the Anti-Groomer Bill, as dubbed by the right.
	And of course, we can have a look at this.
	This is AP News reporting here that the, quote, Don't Say Gay Bill passed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
	Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law on Monday that forbids the instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
	Sane.
	Yes.
	What are you doing trying to sexualise three-year-olds and four-year-olds?
	They're not sexual creatures.
	Unless you're a nonce.
	A policy that has drawn immense national scrutiny from critics who argue it marginalises LGBTQ people.
	Interesting.
	Interesting criticism.
	Why are they making that link?
	If you want to sexualise kids, you must be LGBTQ. Says the left.
	I'm not even joking.
	This has been the Democratic Party response entirely to that quote.
	What's interesting is all the LGBTQ people I know want children away from their parades.
	They don't want children because they're like, this is our space.
	I can't let go if there's children watching.
	Obviously.
	That's the difference, as you see.
	But we'll move forward to the hoes who are mad about all this because there has been this debate.
	Well, not really a debate.
	Screeching.
	And it's finally passed.
	So we have George Takei, who is, of course, screeching.
	Ron DeSantis just signed the Florida Don't Say Gay slash Don't Say Trans bill into law.
	Ron DeSantis is garbage.
	Cope and seethe, Mr.
	Takei.
	You lose.
	Nice ad hominem.
	I mean, it doesn't really explain to me why it's a bad bill.
	No, even though...
	Well, because it's not.
	I mean, that's why...
	We move forward.
	We can also see a democratic strategist here.
	So I believe this guy describes himself as a democratic digital strategist, and he, him.
	So his opinion is completely worthless as well.
	Absolutely disregarded.
	But then we go to Miss Schumer.
	Comedian of the year.
	The best comedian of all time.
	Well, she certainly steals jokes from a lot of good comedians.
	Yeah, well, just tells crap once, and then is fat, and that's the joke.
	Okay.
	Well, she decided to go on the Oscars and also try to, I don't even want to call it virtue signal, like vice signal about all of this, that she wants to sexualize children.
	Let's play her very convincing, deep thoughts on this topic.
	For you people in Florida, we're going to have a gay night.
	Just the state of these people.
	And I'm sorry, but could their worldview really be more incapable of any serious thought?
	I mean, just look at them.
	Just say the word gay.
	BTFO'd the right.
	That's it.
	I mean, could you find a more simplistic people than the people in that room?
	I mean, frankly, on politics, I don't know who is dumber than people who actually believe that kind of thing.
	But we're going to go forward, we can see this graph as well, which has been through that in response to Amy Schooner being simple.
	And obviously people pointing out that, hmm, curious that people are moving to Florida.
	What is this?
	En masse.
	This is people leaving California.
	Oh, so people are leaving California and moving to other states.
	Yeah, so this is people fleeing California en masse, like hundreds of thousands of people.
	Is this because like property prices and also just my mate was over, so he's a film producer, he was over in LA and he said it's the first time he's been to America and not enjoyed it.
	He said it was, everyone's really expensive now, they've had huge inflation.
	But also, just everywhere in LA. All the places that used to be really cool.
	It's covered in tents.
	There's so many homeless people around.
	It was really not a nice thing.
	It looks horrible.
	From some of the short documentaries we've seen of just Americans visiting LA for a day.
	It's just like, row of tents and then racial pride flag.
	That's the symbol of the whole place.
	That's all it is.
	And as you can see, people leaving en masse.
	Also including Florida there.
	Quite a lot going there.
	I believe Florida had, what was it, like 300,000 net immigrants into Florida from other states in the United States who are just fleeing there.
	And as you can see, going to Texas and anywhere else.
	Texas?
	Usually.
	Arizona?
	Is Arizona the one next to...
	I believe that is Arizona, yeah.
	I may be wrong.
	My American geography can be useless at times if it's not about New Vegas.
	It's a big country.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, but people fleeing en masse from California because they don't want to stay next to these simpletons who screech gay because they think that's an argument.
	Anyway, let's just hope that the fleeing people from California at least learn the same lesson that the people fleeing to Hong Kong did, which is leftism bad.
	Hopefully.
	Well, maybe they won't.
	Let's move forward.
	I think in Hong Kong they're having that drilled out of them.
	Yeah.
	No, but it's just like, you know, Hong Kong was a city essentially largely built on refugees from the mainland at one point.
	Which is just like, loads of people being like, yeah, communism sucks, I'm leaving.
	So hopefully these people fleeing California learn the same lesson.
	Then communism got back in.
	If we move forward, we can see some other activism from the left here, which was to buy a huge sign that just says the word gay.
	That was always allowed.
	It's still allowed.
	Yeah, yeah.
	None of this has anything to do with the bill.
	Like, you guys are all just jacking each other off being like, aren't we so good because we're saying the word gay?
	No.
	No one cares.
	Also, for your odds, don't read billboards.
	So, it doesn't even matter.
	Like, you've done nothing here.
	If you go to the next one, we can see some memes about this response.
	There's just, like, libs.
	Just when nobody does anything, of course.
	Just holding a big sign that just says the word gay.
	I was like, okay.
	Okay.
	No one cares.
	It's got nothing to do with the bill.
	We move forward, we can see some schools that have decided to prove that they are not highly politicized indoctrination camps by staging huge protests against this, or at least organizing the defenseless children to protest against it.
	And of course, they don't know what the hell they're protesting, let's be frank.
	As you can see, they're all just saying gay, and that's it.
	That's the end of the conversation.
	Because they're children.
	Yeah.
	Shouldn't be engaged in political discussion, at least not being politicized by their teachers, if nothing else.
	Also, this proves that the bill is actually a good thing, because we need to get these kind of groomers of kindergartners or politicizing kids out of schools, especially in the United States.
	It's gone ridiculous.
	Yeah.
	Move forward, we can see another one of these.
	This is in Louisiana, which, of course, has all the students with their racial pride flags as well.
	Do you know what the racial pride flag is?
	No.
	So you know you've got the pride flag, the traditional conservative one on the right there, with the rainbow.
	Right.
	Oh, it's just the one with a big sort of triangle in it.
	Yeah, but it's also got black and brown stripes, which keeps black and brown people separate but equal.
	The rainbow stripes in the original Pride flag didn't include black people because the rainbow stripes exactly correlated with white people's skin colour.
	Yes, it obviously did.
	But I love how the new one, they're literally just like, yes, so we've segregated off the black and brown stripes, so they're separate but equal.
	Right, right.
	Interesting.
	Segregation.
	A big thing for the new left.
	Yeah, but there's also just the point there that a society that cannot protect its children has no future.
	And for the American who watch us, I mean, yes, if there is one thing that the United States needs, it's to depoliticize your schools, because what the hell is going on?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And if we go to the next one, we can see Oregon lady, so the governor of Oregon being very mad, and she's like, haha, I said the word gay.
	Again, no one cares.
	It means nothing.
	But all the responses to this are just people posting content from Libs of TikTok.
	So the next link here is someone doing exactly that, because you can't hide this.
	This is all out in the open now.
	Lips of TikTok has done more influential work in American politics than anyone I could name in the last couple of years.
	Just exposing, not even having to do anything, you know, sly onto one.
	None of the sort.
	No backroom dealings like all the lobbyists in Washington to get things done.
	All those influential people.
	No, one of the most influential people in American politics is someone just posting screenshots of what's being taught in American schools.
	And just being like, look at this.
	Look at the state of it.
	It's ridiculous.
	Yeah.
	If we move on, we can also see the fact that apparently OK Groomer trended in response to the bill passing as well, because all the groomers came out in force being like, no, this is terrible, gay, it was like, whatever, groomer, not gonna deal with that.
	And if we move forward, we can see Ron DeSantis having a message for Hollywood degenerates, as he says.
	I love how he just has fun.
	Like, he's past it.
	He doesn't even care at this point.
	The quote in there, parents have every right to be informed about services offered to their child at school and shouldn't be protected from schools using classrooms instruction to sexualize their kids as young as five years old.
	You shouldn't be allowed to do that.
	Without any consultation with the parents and also- Illegally.
	You're meant to give consultation in the United States.
	And they're just ignoring the law.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Because that's what pedophiles do.
	They say, oh, this is just between you and me.
	Don't tell your parents.
	You know what I mean?
	Grumor.
	Moving on, we can see a bunch of randos just keep running across the text of the bill as well.
	As you can see here, someone being like, wait, this is what the Don't Say Gay bill is about?
	If you scroll down, John, we can just see the quote.
	Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade three or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate in accordance with school standards.
	So common sense.
	So simple.
	Rather than, yeah.
	Because literally, stop being a groomer.
	If there's a groomer in the school, get them out.
	Yeah, they're not like, you know, you're allowed to talk about this stuff.
	It's just, you know, like...
	Not with four-year-olds, you creeps?
	Like, why are you doing that?
	It actually seems pretty progressive.
	Yeah, it's like, you know, when you get to a developmental age in which it may be appropriate, they can have that discussion.
	But four-year-olds, five-year-olds, what are you doing?
	Why are you trying to sexualise five-year-olds?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	What's that about?
	Yeah, why are you putting ideas into their head?
	It's like if, you know, the heterosexual equivalent would be like teaching kids about the missionary position and doggy style.
	That's the same thing.
	Even teaching people about...
	Sexual orientations includes heterosexual as well.
	This isn't appropriate for a five-year-old.
	Five-year-olds aren't sexual beings.
	It's that simple.
	Leftists.
	We can agree on one thing.
	Gender identity doesn't...
	A lot of gender identity is linked to hormonal changes that come about through puberty.
	So a four-year-old isn't going to...
	No.
	If we move forward, we can obviously say that Biden was very mad that he can no longer groom kids, as well, in which he denounces the whole thing here.
	I'm not going to bother reading it, because you already know what he's got to say.
	And if we move to Ron DeSantis' response, and we're going to play some clips of Ron DeSantis' response, because Florida Man done good.
	Florida Man is a good politician in my mind, as in, like, actually articulate on his points.
	So let's play this clip.
	These leftist politicians, corporate media outlets, some of these activist groups, they actually have read the bill.
	And they're sloganeering because they don't want to admit that they support a lot of the things that we're providing protections against.
	For example, they support sexualizing kids in kindergarten.
	They support injecting woke gender ideology into second grade classrooms.
	They support enabling schools to, quote, transition students to a, quote, different gender without the knowledge of the parent, much less without the parent's consent.
	And so what they're doing with these slogans and these narratives is they are trying to camouflage their true intentions.
	100% true.
	Right on the money.
	I have nothing to add to Ron's speech there, because that was brilliant.
	If we get to the next one, we can also see Joe Rogan has seen through this as well.
	It's just like he referenced it on the show, and he was just like, yeah, this is obvious.
	Like, cope from leftists trying to cover up that they do endorse these things in schools, and we can show that they're in schools, thanks to lives of TikTok.
	But if we continue, we can see more of Ron's response, which is also just fantastic, in which he just says, I'm not backing down.
	Go to hell, all of you.
	Not interested in your criticisms, you bunch of nonces.
	Let's play.
	We will continue to recognize that in the state of Florida, parents have a fundamental role in the education, health care, and well-being of their children.
	We will not move from that.
	I don't care what corporate media outlets say.
	I don't care what Hollywood says.
	I don't care what big corporations say.
	Here I stand.
	I'm not backing down.
	Good on him.
	And good on Florida, thankfully, for having a governor like that.
	I know a lot of people are very jealous, and I know some Floridians who keep messaging me just being like, God, I love living here.
	Can't blame you.
	You've got a decent politician in that stance.
	But also we can see some horror stories as well, because the press conference wasn't without them.
	And this is one in which a lady just lists the reason she ended up having to work with Ron DeSantis, which is that, well, there was a groomer in her school trying to groom her child into being trans, and she didn't buy it, because it's like a four-year-old, five-year-old.
	What the hell are you doing?
	So, let's play.
	In September of 2020, my daughter told me after school she had a meeting with school officials that was held behind closed doors where they asked her which restroom she wanted to use.
	I immediately contacted the school and was told by the guidance counselor and assistant principal that I could not be given any information regarding the meeting and that by law, my daughter had to be the one to authorize my notification of the meeting or attendance to the meeting.
	In other words, school officials asked my 13-year-old child her permission as to whether or not my parental rights would be honored.
	After many weeks of going back and forth with the district, we learned the middle school had created a transgender, gender non-conforming support plan with our 13-year-old daughter without our knowledge or consent.
	The plan was a six-page document completed with my daughter behind closed doors with three school officials that included the guidance counselor, the assistant principal, and a social worker I had never met.
	The plan also directed school staff to use my daughter's birth name when speaking to us, her parents, And to use a different name in school with teachers, staff, and students.
	This plan directed school staff to conceal from us that this meeting and plan had ever taken place.
	This created a huge wedge between our daughter and us because it sent the message that she needed to be protected from us, not by us.
	Social transition is a medical and mental health intervention that can lead to significant decisions that will impact the child's mental and physical well-being.
	Often social transition is the first step toward medical transition and schools are grossly unqualified to be taking these steps without parental involvement.
	100% true.
	Yeah.
	Like, what are you doing?
	But she does, she seems like quite annoying.
	She seems like quite annoying.
	Well, therefore she has to have her children taken from her by the schools.
	I mean, 13 years old, you know what I mean?
	Maybe.
	In the 80s, 13 year olds, you know, were having sex with David Bowie and John Lennon.
	That wasn't good either.
	Marrying Bill Wyman.
	Ugh.
	So, yeah, I don't know, like, I think a 13 year old, you know.
	That's sort of a, like, that's not as bad.
	I thought she was going to be like, my kid's like four.
	Well, that's as young as it's going.
	I mean, that's why the bill had to go down that low.
	Right, yeah, yeah.
	But she's just one example of a mother who came in and was like, yeah, the school decided that I shouldn't be given any information on this.
	Yeah, I mean, that's terrible.
	Why?
	At the same time, she's got one of those voices.
	Oh, God.
	Well, that doesn't change the reality that she's a parent and deserves the rights of her kids.
	And I'd be like, listen, listen, lady, all right, whatever.
	Home school your daughter.
	I agree.
	Let's go to the next image, which is just a meme about this whole situation.
	And as you can see, Ron DeSantis, BCFA, groomer, teachers.
	Good job, bro.
	Florida man.
	Go to the video comments.
	To answer your question, Callan, this is what was making all the noise of my dogs and the neighbors' dogs.
	And then referring to Carl's question, I am, where I live is 4,500 feet above sea level.
	Then we have the mountains in the background.
	So anyway, bye.
	Where is that?
	That looks amazing.
	Oh man, I want to live in America.
	It looks amazing.
	Man, like, honestly...
	Go live in the Rockies.
	Huh?
	Go live in the Rockies.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Man, I've been through the Rockies when I... I used to live in Canada, but, man, in America, all the houses are huge.
	I lived in Indiana for a bit, and all the houses were huge.
	Like, huge!
	Like, you know, like...
	Like, regular people lived in huge houses.
	Same in Australia.
	And the standard of living's so good.
	And like, oh man, it's just the perfect world.
	I can't believe there's people who move from Australia and from America to the UK. And it's like, they've got stuff in America, like the parking spaces are actually bigger than the cars.
	It's, you know, just simple concepts like that.
	They just make it so much...
	Why would you do that?
	It's like, man, you try and park a car in the UK, it's like you're trying to...
	Anyway.
	Yeah.
	It is certainly true.
	The thing I'm probably most highly jealous of is just the size of homes in the United States.
	Oh, it's amazing.
	Standard 11.
	Go to the next one.
	Hey, Callum.
	I thought I'd make a video about this because you had talked about it the other day.
	I have a semi-automatic 9mm conversion of it.
	Unfortunately, the stock is fixed in place permanently.
	But yeah, everything I hear about the PPSH is that the very high fire rate makes it a bit uncontrollable.
	They used to call it the burp gun because you would have to fire it in bursts.
	I have gotten to shoot a full-auto version of this, and the fire rate is nice and slow.
	You can keep it on target.
	Same with the MP40. This fit the Soviet's production philosophy a bit better.
	It was about a third the production time and cost, and there's no wood, which there's kind of a worldwide shortage of.
	Funny how World Wars would do that.
	Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it?
	It's interesting that wood would be harder to get hold of than metal.
	We're in the middle of the war, so when you move all the factories out to the urals and then you're drastically just trying to make things, you can't say anything to get out.
	Like, if you can cut down on anything, it's...
	Yeah.
	One of the strengths the Soviets had in World War II, when they finally got their act together and weren't trying to come up against a blitzkrieg with hay forks, But one of the things that was in their advantage was just very simplified lines of weapons and ammo and all that, whereas Germany, very high-tech and very sort of over-engineered.
	They had so many different kinds of ammo and all the rest of it, and so many different kinds of vehicle and weapon and stuff that the supply lines were sort of screwed by having to have all this really difficult logistical supply chain coming through.
	This is, from what I can see, a completely true representation of the Germans' version of war in the Soviets, but it can go too far as well.
	I don't know if you've seen it, you should.
	For people who aren't, go and check out LaserPig's video on the T-34, because he did a series going through all the different tanks, and yeah, one of the problems every time with the Germans is just like, simplify this.
	But with the Soviets, so the massive tank factory, whose number I can't remember, made like half of all the T-34s in the entire war.
	And so it started off as the product as written with the blueprint.
	So then they tried to cut as many corners as possible to get as many as possible out.
	But they started doing stupid things like, oh, they just wouldn't make the hatcher So then it would actually close the hatch.
	So then it would just rain, and it would fry the electronics.
	And it's like, great, that's perfect.
	They got rid of all the lights, because they don't need those.
	And it's like, okay, so then crews were just hanging lanterns in the tanks to be able to see.
	But then they couldn't even identify who were their guys at one point.
	There's a story of a T-34 following some German tanks for a while, thinking it's their friends, until they realized.
	And it's just...
	Yeah, you can take it to such an extreme that, frankly, it's not even worth cutting down.
	Yeah, and right now you can see the extent to which corruption has just completely eroded the Soviet military machine.
	Because they've taken any opportunity they can, for example, with their field radios.
	So any money, they get like 180 million to get some radios or whatever, and a third of that gets sequestered away as corrupt embezzlement.
	Same with, you know, they're putting like cheap Chinese tires on the vehicles and then they're getting chewed up in the mud.
	But the problem with the Soviets during the war wasn't corruption necessarily.
	It was just pressure from above to produce more tanks.
	So the guys in the factories were just like, okay, we'll cut this, we'll cut that.
	It still worked, but then it would collapse and then Stalin blamed all the breakdowns on cruel sabotage.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah, anything goes wrong!
	That's why nobody wanted...
	You couldn't come to Stalin.
	You couldn't come to your hierarchy in the Soviet Union and say, we've got a problem with this.
	You had to hide the problem.
	And if there was a problem, everybody was focused on finding somebody to blame rather than fixing the problem.
	You wanted to find somebody to blame so it wasn't you getting executed.
	So go and check out LaserPig's video on the T-34.
	I much enjoy it.
	And try and avoid communism.
	It's a bad system.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I like watching YouTube videos of people playing Cities Skylines, but the game has a very American feel that doesn't adapt well to British infrastructure.
	I think the key reason is that America was founded on a few major railways with many more large roads, whereas Britain was crisscrossed with railways before road traffic really became popular.
	The ealing comedy The Titfield Thunderbolt captures that change in a charming way, with a village of eccentric characters fighting to keep a railway open despite commercial pressures.
	It's a window onto the idyll of English rural life still to be found in some corners of the country.
	Absolutely agree.
	I also, one of the things I hate about City Skylines is there are a bunch of mods to add like British stores and whatnot, but just with the road system, it really does always come out kind of American from above.
	What game is it?
	City Skylines.
	Is it fun?
	Yes.
	If you like city builders.
	It's much better than SimCity.
	The last SimCity came out, it got such terrible reviews that Paradox released Cities Skylines.
	Now everyone just plays Cities Skylines.
	No one plays anything to do with SimCity anymore.
	It's just not as good.
	I used to love SimCity in the old days on the Atari ST. You should really get Cities Skylines.
	I just want to sit on my ass and play computer games sometimes.
	Maybe I'll get a PlayStation.
	How much is a PlayStation 5?
	I don't know.
	I don't buy consoles.
	What do you play on?
	PC. Oh, so have you got to build your own PC and stuff?
	No, I have a laptop.
	You just buy a laptop?
	I've got a laptop.
	This is a laptop.
	Yeah, well, I don't know how good that one is.
	It's dead good.
	I got it for video editing.
	It's got the best screen, the brightest screen.
	It's a Dell XPS 15.
	What's the graphics card?
	I can't remember.
	NVIDIA something.
	All right.
	That's the important part for this.
	But it's got a good graphics card and good...
	I need to upgrade the RAM. It's only got 16 gigabytes of RAM, but I'd use it for video editing 4K, so it's all right.
	The screen's amazing.
	Download City Skylines.
	Give it a go.
	It's got a UHD screen.
	Brightest screen.
	Sharpest.
	Of any laptop.
	You work for Dell?
	No, but actually the only problem with it is it lets the fans go on all the time and it chugs away like a blooming steam train.
	So it's a noisy laptop.
	Don't buy Dell.
	No, do buy Dell.
	Also, it's expensive.
	Let's go to the next video.
	This cat's going to hang itself.
	No.
	Oh man.
	That's pretty funny.
	Just put my ladder there and then the customer's cats jumped all over it.
	Usually cats run and hide once you get started on work.
	This person's cat.
	It's got to be a good day on the job.
	Play with a kiddie.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Hey, Andy Noosebook.
	My job is to make these very nice bookshelves, alright?
	This is Russian Birchwood.
	Guess what we're not getting anymore?
	Russian Birchwood.
	Why?
	The Ukrainian conflict.
	What do I not care about?
	The Ukrainian conflict.
	Well, you should...
	Let the false kill each other for all I care.
	However, I was at a college recently, and people were out there kicking and, like, crapping their pants over this country that they've never heard of and never planned on going to.
	It's just...
	Life's funny.
	Well, you should care about the Ukrainian conflict because it's a battle between liberty and freedom and Western democracy and evil dictatorships and totalitarianism.
	And for all the people who say, but there's some people who have a funny flag for their genders.
	It's like, man, nobody cares.
	And also, you've got the freedom to make fun of those people.
	In Russia, you don't have the freedom to make fun of Putin.
	I don't know if you even had those freedoms in Ukraine beforehand.
	Because, I mean, LGBT rights, as it's been called in Ukraine, is just as bad before as well.
	Yeah!
	But I want to see that butterfly knife, because I think that's what I saw on your table.
	Can you do any of the meet the spy tricks?
	Yeah, do those tricks.
	Go to the next one.
	The Woodlawn Sports Complex in Mapleshade, New Jersey.
	Residents here report seeing a ghost, a ghostly apparition of a girl who supposedly committed suicide after a bad breakup with her boyfriend.
	People report temperature changes, swings swinging back and forth violently, and most creepily of all, the voice of the girl reciting a poem.
	Even in the afterlife, there's a lot of teenage angst.
	All righty then.
	Although, looking at that Google map, I'm reminded of one of the other aspects I don't like about American city planning that pisses me off on city skylines.
	The car park spaces.
	Endless, endless car park spaces.
	Right, right.
	It's a very car-oriented country.
	Yeah.
	Like, you couldn't, where I was living, you couldn't really exist.
	When I lived in Canada, it was fine, you didn't need a car, but in America, you totally needed a car for everything.
	Everything was a driveway.
	Is it just bad planning?
	The roads weren't even walkable, downable, but also the distances are so far to get to where you want to go.
	But is it just bad planning or what?
	It's because it's a very spread out country, so they don't have the population density that you have in the UK. But sure, if you're saying in Canada that you can still get around, there's going to be some planning there that's made it that way, surely.
	Well, I was living in a city.
	I was living in Vancouver rather than, you know, out in the burbs.
	Fair enough.
	But when I was in Indiana, I was in Hobart.
	And, yeah, I mean, I did get around, you know, sometimes by walking.
	But I was out there selling aerial photographs.
	I was only 19.
	But I was too young to drive the higher cars that we had.
	So we had to buy a car.
	So I had this 5-litre Thunderbird.
	I totally clapped out one.
	We got it for 400 bucks.
	But it was a 5-litre Thunderbird.
	And this thing was huge.
	It was like the size of this room.
	It was like taxiing a jumbo jet.
	It was insane.
	It was so exciting.
	Like being 19 years old and driving us and the power of it because it's got this like 5 litre engine.
	It was just amazing.
	I always wanted to own one of those up.
	I don't know what they're called but like the American cars that are all just square.
	Absolute square in the back.
	You think the wheels are going to be square almost.
	They're always just so wide as well.
	Yeah, a lot of American cars don't handle so well compared to...
	I've got an Audi now and it's the most beautiful car on the road.
	But the Thunderbird would just sway around.
	It was like a boat.
	Yeah, going around a corner was horrible.
	Next one.
	Okay, nobody leave!
	Nobody leave!
	Lock the doors!
	Lock those doors!
	If you wouldn't mind just taking your seats again, please, that would be fantastic.
	Take your seats.
	Take your seats.
	Don't worry.
	Nobody's gonna get killed.
	Sit down!
	Do not defy me!
	Sit your arses down!
	What do you think?
	Well, half the audience have gone.
	The acoustics are gonna be very lively.
	Go and get some more people in off the street.
	They were giving away tickets for free to random passers-by, she says.
	They were just going around being like, would you please come?
	Well, so then they don't have to tell Biden that, yeah, no one likes it.
	Do give Death of Stalin a watch if you haven't.
	Yeah, great film.
	I was really surprised how good it was.
	Because I thought, oh man, this is going to be terrible.
	And it was great.
	No, it was fantastic.
	I really love the human aspect of the people at the top as well.
	The fact that you can imagine them all being that Like people!
	Almost like children.
	The power structures were so much like, just get everyone on the side and just kill the guy that's...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Very, it did deserve it.
	Normally when you'd see stuff like that, it's played out very, very seriously.
	And actually when it's serious, that's not how people are.
	This was much more like cracking jokes and you can see all the alliances and all this sort of stuff.
	It's the same with every party political system today as well.
	Yeah, but under Stalin, there's much more purging.
	The human aspect, like sending each other's jokes and whatnot.
	There was two MPs, I heard a story once, that apparently they were such good friends, they would answer the phone to each other in Nigerian accents, just for a laugh.
	Yeah, yeah.
	These people are human.
	But anyway, let's go to the written comments on the site.
	It's on Today in Alphabet.
	Freewill2112 says, given that the theory of permanent revolution is a core principle for many leftists, and that the acceptance of biological men in women's sports points to a trans lobby victory, the ever-expanding frontier of change will no doubt be pushed further.
	What will the next piece of accepted reality to be overturned?
	How long before our world resembles some kind of erroneous Bosch version of hell?
	Sorry, I don't got to reference that, but...
	Hieronymus Bosch was an artist, wasn't he?
	I'm not familiar.
	What will be the next thing, you think, if it's not going to be, if they win the trans in sports?
	I mean, transracialism would seem to be the next thing.
	You know, Rachel Dolezal will be pardoned.
	I think if we actually do accept transgenderism as in, like, you know, that you can just become a woman, self-ID is all that's needed, then transracialism just has to follow.
	Like, I don't know how anyone in the leftist movement can resist it.
	There's no sort of logical consistency with a lot of the arguments, though.
	So transracialism is seeing anybody who, you know, says, who lives as somebody who's a different ethnicity to what they are.
	Is seen as evil.
	But what's interesting is what about people who don't know that they're raised as a different ethnicity so they grow up thinking they're a different ethnicity.
	Are they bad?
	I don't know.
	We'll have to ask the leftists.
	We'll have to ask the left.
	So student of history says horrified to be having a boy.
	First of all she can F right off.
	Second, I hope this young boy becomes an absolute giga chad.
	Yeah, second one.
	People do tend to push back and react against their parents, so hopefully.
	But man, I feel so sorry for that kid.
	Man, babies and children are so vulnerable.
	You've got to nurture them, love them, and look after them.
	It sounds like an obvious thing to say.
	But this woman, she's so poisoned by her ideology, she thinks she isn't just being horrible to this child.
	She's telling everyone she's being horrible to this child.
	I think he's essentially my rapist.
	Yeah, and she's saying it as if everybody's going to be like, oh yeah, well done you.
	So what on earth?
	Student of History says once again, ma'am, what a large penis you have.
	All the better to, no.
	Lord Nerevar, I'm really happy about the define woman trend.
	It's become far too long since we on the right have had a real talking point or tactic with which to resist the left.
	This one is working, now let's get more.
	That's certainly true.
	Justin B, the only way this trans in sport issue is going to be resolved is to create two major leagues, one for trans men and one for trans women.
	That would be fun, but I feel like the trans men one might not.
	It's going to become the women's sport of the trans world.
	Yeah.
	I mean, they're saying an option is to have an open category, which is, you know, men.
	And then trans women can also compete in that.
	I think it was a Frankie Boyle joke, actually, where he was just like, I just want to see a completely open Olympics where people can even take drugs.
	Just take as many steroids as you want and just watch someone throw a javelin three kilometers.
	Why not?
	It'd be good fun.
	Well, and also, the Olympics, you know, they're saying, oh, we want it to be inclusive and stuff, but sport, elite sport, is, by its very nature, exclusive.
	If you're not good at the sport, then you're not getting in.
	Ben Shapiro is not a basketball player.
	Yeah, you know what I mean?
	So I want the Olympics to be open to people like me.
	I should be able to turn up and just have a go.
	Anyway, if we want to move on to Leo's racist, some more comments.
	So this is some comments here.
	So BaldEagle1787 says, Well put, she does steal a lot of jokes from other comedians.
	Rhys Sims says, how could anybody call Leo racist?
	Even got the paperwork to prove there's no racism here.
	Victoria Korn, on the other hand, I mean, just saying she hasn't shown her I'm not racist documentation.
	So, yeah, maybe...
	She's going to need I'm not a member of the Nazi Party documentation.
	Chris Wolfe says, dual citizenship isn't supposed to give you a safe zone to escape crime, but it ends up working like that when we have dual citizens in an Islamic country and in Iran.
	Lord Nerevar says, I've never heard of Victoria Corrine before, but I might just go and follow her for some hilarious nuclear takes.
	No, don't follow me!
	This wasn't supposed to, like, get her more followers.
	It's supposed to get me more followers.
	That's why I made a big fuss about being called racist.
	I want attention.
	Do you want hate-watchers, though?
	Follow me on Twitter.
	Yeah, I do.
	Follow me on Twitter, Leo Kearse.
	And you can see my hilarious...
	I hate-watch you there.
	And don't follow Victoria Corrin.
	David Shipton says, I'm half convinced she may well be an Iranian spy playing 4D chess.
	She should fit right in at Labour.
	Great joke, by the way, Leo.
	I laughed out loud.
	See?
	Some people find it funny.
	You know what I mean?
	Robert Longshaw says, what's the black alternative to capitalism?
	I've no idea.
	I've no idea.
	Capitalism is another word that's been decoupled from any meaning.
	It now just means something bad that I want to talk about and sound smart.
	Well, presumably it'll be what the black nationalists did come up with.
	We did a segment on what was it, a black hammer fist or whatever the hell they were called, but there's loads of groups that do this.
	They're just like, yeah, black nationalism, but also we're all going to be socialists or something.
	Right, so this is just going to be black Nazism.
	That's what this is.
	Because the white people can't be in our nation.
	So what are you going to do with the ones who have lived there?
	Oh, we'll deport them.
	If they don't want to leave...
	Same response you always get from the far right.
	Anyway, on the BTFOing of groomers, Shaker Silver says, the fact that they construe a bill that really just says don't talk about sexuality to actual infants and have manufactured absolute hysteria over it shows how much their ideology is put in risk if they can't push sexuality on minors.
	Certainly does, with a lot of this.
	I mean, the queer theorists, absolutely.
	I mean, we've gone through it before, but if you go back to the central text of queer theory, like the founding...
	What would you call them?
	I don't even want to call them philosophers.
	Founding theorists of queer theory?
	Like, just all of their initial texts are just trying to justify non-series as well.
	I'm not even joking.
	I can't remember the lady, but Nolan knows the Oxford's...
	Sorry, no, the Eaton professor went through it, and then we covered it as well.
	And it's just her just being like, yeah, no, they've made a choice.
	And it's like, no, they haven't.
	Get in the gulag.
	Not dealing with this.
	Rick Archer says the groomers can hear the rumbling of wood chippers on the horizon, so they scream out in pain as they lash out with the laws passed by their ideology.
	Good means we can see who's who.
	Certainly can.
	BoldEagle1787 says Florida Man does it yet again.
	It's hilarious watching a small subsection speaking for the entire group.
	I doubt any sane LGBT person is upset at being more involved in their child's life.
	The ones screeching about this are people that are militant in their belief that anything that is not on their side is wrong.
	They also happen to be on the side that doesn't have children or care about children's safety.
	Coincidence?
	I think not.
	Yeah, I would correct her, or at least I would say that's an error to call such people LGBT.
	From what I found, I really think there is the Douglas Murray distinction to be made here, which is queers, gays, or alphabet people and gays, which is just that there are people who are conservatives, bricklayers, office workers, and gay.
	And then there are queers, and that's it.
	That's their life.
	That's all it is.
	Ask them anything about them and they're just like, yeah, so my queerness.
	It's an identity and it's not actually linked to anything they do with their genitals or anybody else's genitals.
	It's an identity, it's a profession, it's an ideological system in which they live their lives.
	It's totalitarian in its view of themselves.
	Something wrong with totalitarian systems.
	Lord Nerva says California exodus is both good and bad.
	On the one hand, California is clearly collapsing in on itself, and it's only a matter of time until it flips red.
	On the other, most of the fleeing people are probably going to vote blue and ruin their new homes.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Maybe the red refugees will have to keep moving on.
	It's the blue...
	No, I can't make that joke.
	Comrade Starmus says to quote Ted, there's no such thing as chicks with dicks, there's just dudes with tits.
	I can't remember who is that.
	Oh no, yeah, Ted, the movie with the bear.
	Baron Von Warhawk says part two of Ron's bill will dictate that all groomers will be fed to the alligators and the crackheads of Southern Florida.
	I love the alligators.
	Uh, Chuli...
	Mr.
	Sloan.
	Of course the political ABD Hollywood elites are angry about this bill.
	They're all nonces, so this just makes it much harder for them to nonce kids.
	Well, I mean, we have the evidence of that.
	So, yeah.
	Good point.
	I wonder how you pronounce that name.
	I think it's C-U-H-L-A-I-N-N. I'm not even going to try it.
	But it's interesting, man, if Dr.
	Shola Mog, I can't remember her full name, but Dr.
	Shola, she forces people to try and pronounce her name and then criticises them if they can't pronounce her name.
	And it's like, man, we've also got some, like, you know, British names that are quite difficult to pronounce or Irish names that are difficult to pronounce.
	Do you have a, is there a, can you find like a Scots translation of your name or something that just messes it up so much that it's really hard to pronounce?
	Because that's what you should do.
	I think it's English.
	Damn.
	Okay, well, you should, you should, you should.
	Oh yeah, but one of those ones where the L's are all P's and all that.
	Go back to your roots.
	Change your name at the office.
	It's like spelt Siobhan, but you pronounce it Siobhan.
	Yeah, so redo your name to something incomprehensible Celtic gibberish.
	And then go on and be like, yeah, sure, say my name.
	Yeah.
	You can't do it.
	Say it again.
	And I'll go on Nigerian TV and accuse everybody of being racist.
	How dare you not speak Celtic?
	Anyway, that's enough from us.
	If you want more from us, of course, go to thelotuses.com.
	Please do subscribe to get access to the premier content and also help fund the show.
	To those who have, thank you very much.
	Where do they find you?
	Yeah, I'm on YouTube.
	I'm on YouTube, Leo Kearse.
	So you can see my videos on there.
	And I'm also on Twitter, Leo Kearse.
	Same name.
	I stuck with the same name.
	And you can also watch me on the Three Speech Podcast, which comes out every Friday.
	Otherwise, that's enough from us.
	We'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
	I'm in Dublin this weekend.
	I'm performing in Dublin this weekend, so come and see it.
	Also, we'll be back in literally 3.30 to do the live hangout, I should say.
	Not tomorrow.
	We'll be back tomorrow as well, but the next thing we're doing is at 3.30, so we'll be back then.
	Thank you and goodbye.
