Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 26th of April 2022.
I'm joined by Harry.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about Elon Musk, Salt Mining Incorporated, also the climate activist making a fiery return, and just like that, all the boats disappeared, at least from the channel.
It's a miracle.
Hopefully it can stay that way.
He's a miracle.
What could have done this?
Anyway, I thought it should be a link for the Gold Tier Zoom call, John, if you can get that up, just so we can plug it first, which is that if you're a Gold Tier member or you'd like to become a Gold Tier member, we do a Zoom call every month, the end of the month, and we'll be doing one this coming Friday.
And as you can see there, this is the link to go find.
We start at 3.30 UK time, and we'll be hanging out there, taking questions, and just having fun.
Hanging out, really?
Yeah, usual.
Anyway.
But without further ado, we shall get into the salt mining, because there is an awful lot of salt mining, and I know a lot of people are looking forward to it, including me.
So, Elon Musk, Salt Mining Incorporated.
I think that's what we have to call ourselves today, as we will be mining the salts diligently as we go through the very, very upset fields.
My northern heritage has prepared me for this time in the mines.
Yeah.
Down in the coal mines, now you're in the salt mines.
So if you can get up the links here, John, we can start with what I wanted to mention, or at least some shilling I wanted to do first, which is the interview with Ryan Hartwig I'm going to mention, because it's Oh,
imagine my shark.
Yeah, so all the dirty, dirty deeds that have been going on for years now, that we all kind of knew about, but it's lovely to get an admission.
I'm sure Elon will be getting all of that data soon, so it'll be fun.
I think one of the most interesting things and best things that Elon could do is just release all of the documentation regarding shadow banning and whatnot.
I mean, the biggest fear, obviously, being here that the left is scared of Elon because, well, he's able to expose the Tumblr rights and also show for what they've been censoring and take that power away from them forever.
They're not getting it back.
But if we move forward, we shall start with the salt.
So I'll start with the memes becoming real.
As we can see here, if you can click on that one, this is just a Fallout New Vegas meme.
Mr.
Musk here saying, I would rule as a chief executive.
I would not answer to a board of directors or any other entity.
And he certainly won't be doing, apparently.
We move to the next one.
I also wanted to remind everyone of when he was just kidding.
I love Twitter.
You should buy it.
How much?
Back in 2017.
And now it's his.
100%.
The prophecy foretold.
Yeah, if we move forward, we can see some news, which is that apparently the code at twitter.com has had to be locked.
And this is DisclosureTV reporting here that they're trying to make sure that none of the Twitter staff decide to have a little bit of a meltdown and try and tamper with the whole thing.
So the whole thing is being locked as well.
Also, they're planning to release the algorithm, as you can see here as well.
If we go forward, we can also see some jokes about the board.
Will the board stay or go?
They're all going.
None of them are getting paid.
He did say specifically that if he owned it he would give himself a zero dollar salary on the board and that's what everyone else is getting.
Just him.
Because everyone's leaving.
If we go to the next one, we can see the question as well, at least from Elon here, being that, well, what should all your critics do?
Well, stay on Twitter.
That's what free speech means, you morons.
And it's the easiest place to get to Elon.
He's a very frequent responder to people.
He's always on there responding to his critics and anyone who's really atting him.
But I know it's such a simple thing here, him just pointing out what free speech is.
This conversation has never been had by a tech oligarch.
Ever.
I can't think of a single, you know, one of the Silicon Valley ones, the ones who own a billion dollar company, right?
Like, when have they ever spoken like this?
Even Zuckerberg will pay lip service to free speech occasionally.
Never like this.
They'll throw it out there and be like, oh, we care about free speech, except we don't actually.
Yeah, and as you can see, most popular opinion as well, with the 2.8 million like-a-roonies there.
If we move forward, we can go to the Twitter employee breakdown as well, which is wonderful to see.
I won't go on this too much.
There's some guys giving a rundown of what he's hearing from, as he says, inside the Slack rooms and the employee group texts.
People just being like, I'm going to throw up.
I really don't want to work for Elon Musk.
Who knew?
Oh, bleh.
The CEO is going to address everyone about it.
It being Elon, of course.
Quote, I hate him.
Why does he even want this?
I guess.
Well, it's because you guys have been awful.
I mean, they're really terrible.
You've done some terrible things.
I mean, like, the probably worst things are the treatment of Donald Trump and the Hunter Biden story, if nothing else.
Yes.
I mean, just demonstrably horrible.
And they have to know what they've done.
Yeah.
Or they're just...
Apocalyptically stupid.
I'm really hoping there's, because occasionally we get messages from, like, some guy who works for a big company.
He's like, I'm the only based one there.
Everyone else is cringe as hell.
And I'm really hoping there's one guy, maybe he's even just the janitor or the Twitter HQ, who's just like, finally, people get what they deserve.
So, if we go to the next one, we're going to see the biggest fear from them, according to Andy Ngo's sources, is the Don returning.
Oh, no!
Putting them in their place.
Do it!
Do it!
Biggest fear being Donald Trump being unbanned.
Many express strong hatred towards Elon Musk.
And say they're sick of hearing about free speech.
They're more concerned about their mental health.
Thoughts and prayers.
Elon, take it all back.
We've got to be concerned about the Twitter staff.
Yeah, their mental health.
Their mental health.
These individuals, their mental health.
Why is it her?
Are they in content moderation?
Are they looking at pictures of horrific things?
No.
These are the engineers who have been engineering shadow bans.
Their mental health is being told no.
That's not so damaging to them.
If we go to the next one, we can also see some of these losers, and I'm going to call them pronoun losers, because they all have their professional links there as well, and as you can see, hear him for this one.
And he won't even write Elon Musk, as you can see there, his tweet being like, you've asked me why Elon Musk with stars in his name?
Because I don't know how he's God.
And Twitter as well.
Yeah.
Doesn't like working there anymore, I suppose.
We go to the next one, we can see another pronoun loser who's very upset.
It's just very sad.
And I thought I just...
We're not going to dwell on them, but I just thought I'd put their faces here.
Because these are real people.
And they're unbearable people.
And they've done terrible things.
So them breaking down is probably the biggest moment of karma we've had for years.
I can't think of a better moment in which the worst people get what they deserve.
And the worry about the elections is just basically, oh no, we can't fortify the elections now.
It's just the biggest threat to the world is him owning all this.
We are so effed if that happens.
Who's we?
Who's we in particular?
The things that they're worried about are very telling.
The we here is the progressives.
The Tumblrites.
The ones who have taken over all of the tech spheres and have been sat there, illegitimately, just organising themselves like a mafia, controlling the world.
And, well, we'll just buy them.
We'll just buy them out, seems to be the solution.
All this conversation about 270 we had, reforming the world, about how to deal with these tech monopolies.
Apparently the solution is make loads of money and just buy them.
At least we have a route now.
I mean, it works.
Just build your own.
So if you'd like to subscribe to the Lotus Eaters so we can buy Facebook next.
God, we'd have some fun.
If we go to the next one, we can see that, as mentioned earlier, apparently the whole thing has been locked as well.
Because they're afraid that some activist employees will sabotage the whole thing as revenge for their power being taken away and instead of being a neutral platform.
Can't have that.
That's the bad thing.
If we move forward, we can see some responses here from the former Twitter CEO who knows he's being purged.
Bye-bye.
Well, we'll see what happens with Parag.
I mean, it would be a very, very limited stint on Twitter that he would have had overall if they do remove him.
But we'll see what happens.
Maybe he'll try and play nice with Elon.
I mean, this is the thing to keep in mind.
Elon hasn't actually done anything yet.
So we're waiting on, well, him actually doing the thing.
So him actually taking the board behind the bike sheds and going, thank you for your service.
I'm not sorry.
Yes, now get out of my office.
This is my place now.
Because these people, I don't see any value in them whatsoever.
I mean, like, the things they have done, the censorship they have imposed, just routinely, against anyone who is in the tumble right.
I mean, I wouldn't keep them on.
No?
Even their value is, like, tech people.
Elon probably has, like, 20 different tech people who are all better than any of them, anyway.
Yeah, we should wait for Elon to go around and unban all the people who are unjustly banned as well, of course, and...
In-state those laws.
But until then, if they start purging themselves, well, the streets are cleaning themselves.
No problem.
We move to the next one.
We can also see the conversations behind closed doors, presumably, that Parag is having.
I don't know if I can read much of this.
Effing bloody bastard Elon Musk.
I do enjoy the jokes.
If we go to the next one, we can see the media response to all this.
Which is, of course, the salt mining meme here, which many people will remember, which the walls are salt, the ground is salt, to some extent the air is salt.
Everything is salt.
My blood is salt.
So we'll have a look at some of that salt, firstly with the media, because they are very salty.
So we'll start with this one here.
We have USA Today who went with Elon Musk buying Twitter is good for free speech and a nightmare for progressives.
Despite warnings that censorship is necessary for democracy to survive, Elon Musk does not appear to be sufficiently terrified of free speech.
I just love that sentiment because it's such a summation of the left's opinion as well.
The warnings that censorship is necessary for democracy to survive.
Oh no, what if people tell me something I disagree with?
But also for democracy.
Our democracy to survive.
We need censorship.
Rabid censorship.
I mean, the deplatforming of the president, everyone who agrees with him, and any story that makes the opponent look bad.
That's the levels of censorship they're willing to go to.
That's just Twitter.
Of course they use the words our democracy as code for progressivism.
Yeah, for our rule, essentially.
If we move to the next one, we can also see some more media responses, which were funny.
You can see Mr.
Stelter here.
Very upset, very mad.
Him saying, if you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party?
Or are you going to decide to stay home?
It's not that.
Like, the law still applies.
It's a place in which, well, presumably, Elon's making where people can say things that disagree with CNN. Pointing out that CNN are open liars, for example.
I mean, even within the context of his bad example, I'd still be interested in that party, you know?
Just to see what happens, you know?
I'm sure Brian Starkler and Jeffrey Epstein will be there.
Oh, God.
If we move to the next one, we can also see the other media responses.
The Verge here, going with how to deactivate your Twitter account.
Because, again, the entire industry, all his Tumblr rights grew up.
And they took over various outlets, various industries...
And now the four channels of the world are just buying all their stuff because they didn't spend their lives learning how to study gender instead.
Well, I mean, The Verge, if they want, they can give us a practical demonstration, you know?
Yeah, delete it.
Also, how to move to Canada.
You're all moving to Canada, remember?
The bad man, the orange man, go in charge, you're all gonna go?
Go live with Trudeau?
No, you did.
Hmm, interesting.
Curious.
Move to the next one, because this is the bigger thing, I think, for Elon, which is, as you can see here, Variety saying, FX and the New York Times announced Elon Musk's expose documentary.
This is going to be a big thing, I reckon.
Not this documentary expose.
I don't know what this is.
But people trying to do things like this.
There is going to be just an endless river of smear pieces calling him a Nazi sympathiser or things like this constantly.
I've mentioned it before, but for a long time they've already been trying to do tactics like that when they've spoken about him being the beneficiary of blood emeralds from South Africa, which is just complete nonsense.
Never happened.
They'll make up anything.
They have in the past.
They will continue to.
It will be an open lie.
And they won't care.
They won't retract it.
They won't put an announcement saying, yes, it won't happen.
But this endless river of just smears that will go against him now will be an attempt to try and corral control again.
Because, okay, they've lost their control through the means they had before.
But what if they can try and just cower him into working for the progressives instead?
And this will be the test of Elon Musk, whether or not he shows strength and doesn't give them any weakness.
And if he does that, I think the river will eventually dry up.
They'll end up realizing, well, this doesn't work.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to have any real effect on him.
He seems like a guy who knows his principles, stands by his convictions.
He's got FU money.
Yeah, he's got the FU money.
And honestly, beyond even just showing strength in the face of it, he just doesn't seem like he cares.
No, which is really, I hope, how it goes.
But these kind of environments, the kind of pressure they can get to people, I really hope he doesn't end up buckling at any point.
Because if he buckles at any point, they'll smell weakness in the water.
Well, I mean, he's already the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and now he'll be owning Twitter and everything, so...
I'm just worried in case that happens.
It's a possibility.
I'm not saying it's going to happen.
It's a possibility.
If we go to the next one, we can see that river already starting up.
As you can see here, the ACLU, of course they had, and the Amnesty International raised concerns about hate speech on Twitter and the power that Elon Musk has self-described free speech absolutists would have.
Oh no.
Nope.
From what I'm aware, I think Elon's given a lot of money in the past to the ACLU. I think he's been praised by pretty much everyone.
Yeah, pretty much so.
So they're just pulling an et tu brute here, just sliding that knife into his back.
But there's also just that all of a sudden, as he demands free speech absolutism, everyone's like, no, no, this is hate.
This is not allowed.
Okay, so it's good to know the ACLU and Amstelian International stand against free speech absolutism.
It's good to know.
Human rights organizations.
We stand for human rights, but not them.
But why?
We disagree with them.
Not their human rights, because we don't consider them human.
Nope.
They certainly don't.
If we go to the next one here, we can see Binary Surfers' law of leftist projection.
This is an amazing clip, and let's just enjoy it.
This is the accusations they have against Elon.
Let's play.
If you own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you, you don't have to explain yourself.
You don't even have to be transparent.
You could secretly ban one party's candidate or all of its candidates, all of its nominees, or you could just secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else, and the rest of us might not even find out about it until after the election.
I mean, you could do that, couldn't you?
It's like he's speaking from experience.
It's unbelievable.
That level of projection there.
That's a fantastic clip.
It's just like, yeah, you could ban, I don't know, president.
Or, you know, him running for office.
Or even Carl.
When we ran for office, we got banned from Twitter.
He never had access to the account.
Too bad.
Banned.
The bad man, Robin Tomlinson.
He had a campaign account.
Gone.
Shouldn't be allowed to.
Suppressed them.
Also, censoring stories.
Yeah.
Hunter Biden laptop come to mind?
It's just endless.
It's ridiculous.
Not that we've done this, but you could.
It could be even worse.
Imagine if Elon then owned Facebook as well, with a friend of his who was also of the same political mind.
And Instagram.
And every other tech monopoly was owned by the same kind of people who could do that.
That would be terrible, wouldn't it?
That would be unbearable.
I mean, it would almost be an unfree society in which, well, something needed to be done.
Yeah, okay, and the thing that needed to be done was to buy it off you people because you did all of those things.
We've got the next one as well, just to mention the censorship.
I mean, we have an open admission, if nothing else, from Jack.
I mean, we don't have an open admission yet on the Hunter Biden stuff, even though we all know.
But this one I have to bring back up, because he's just said before Congress, after being asked about the fact that he was censoring Republicans, and he just says, quote, yes, that result was impartial, and that's why we corrected it.
Why did you do it at the beginning?
He was just censoring Republicans.
You only corrected it because you got caught.
Yeah.
This was about the fact that if you looked up Republican candidates' names, it just didn't turn up.
If you looked up Democrat candidates, it's fine.
No.
No one needs to know what they have to say.
If we go to the next one as well, of course, we'll just have the Don.
Still not there.
This is what I'm saying.
We'll wait for him to be back, I guess, to see how this goes, or at least to be on band.
I mean, if Elon's going to stand by his principles...
We'll see Donald back.
It needs to be done.
I don't know.
Oh, this is a real pickle for you, isn't it?
Oh, I imagine if this had happened before, it would have been terrible.
Imagine if it happened to half the country before.
What did they have to do?
They had to build their own from the ground up.
I mean, like Andrew Torber, just, you know, sat there with his servers, building Gab up.
Yeah, now it's your turn.
Go ahead, go and build something.
Go for it.
I've also not heard Musk in any part of this process say that he's planning on banning anybody.
No, you're banning yourselves at the moment, which is funny.
He just says the free market increasingly reflects the demands of big money.
Yeah, sure, free market my ass.
As if Robert Wright cares about a free market anyway.
No, but just to imply that the tech industry is anything like a free market.
Oh yeah, of course it is.
It's a left-wing mafia.
If you say anything, you get banned from one...
platform.
You end up getting banned from all of them.
Like Alex Jones or Ron Tomlinson.
Sometimes for just outright lies.
And they are in bed with the government anyway, because one of the...
I don't know if we'll get onto it, but I'm sure that there'll be some people who've had the...
They're a private company.
They can do what they want, thrown back at them now.
But that has often been used as the excuse for, you know, like, the Constitution only applies to the government, blah-de-blah-de-blah, but the government for a long time has been using these big tech companies as just an extended arm.
We saw it during COVID directly.
It wasn't even a myth anymore.
The Surgeon General just said, yeah, we have this list of people that are spreading dangerous misinformation.
We've given that to the tech companies.
And we've had Jen Psaki also say that the big tech companies need to do more to censor these people and it's just been directed...
Is a list?
Yeah, at the political opponents.
And if you don't enforce this list, what will happen to the tech companies?
Probably get antitrust thrown at them.
Exactly.
So no, they are just an open arm of the Democratic Party in this respect.
If you scroll down some more here as well, he also says it's called Platform Monopoly.
Yeah, been there.
Hasn't the right been complaining about this for a long time, actually?
The last five years.
It's bad for our democracy, as well as our economy.
Our democracy.
Keep that in mind.
We'll keep hearing that.
If we go to the next one, we can see Rose of Dawn making a great point.
It's just like, don't like it?
Build your own Twitter.
Yeah.
Stone toss.
Right on the money.
Every day.
Enjoy.
Enjoy making your own cartoons about all of this.
I don't care.
I have absolutely no care.
I mean, nothing has happened to them whatsoever.
And they're already like, this is the end of the world.
So you're banning yourselves.
So nothing just has happened to you.
I mean, if they can't speak in an echo chamber and have to actually be held accountable to argumentation from opposing views, well, it is the end of their world because none of their ideas can stand up.
They'll lose every time, just like they do.
So if we go to the next one as well, we can see some more responses here.
So we have a chap here saying, Elon Musk takes over Twitter.
He's a billionaire who doesn't even have a master's degree.
Is that who we are going to trust with the future of our democracy?
He's not even an expert.
How can you trust if he's not an expert?
Our democracy.
Also, I love it.
If he doesn't have a master's degree, his opinion is worthless.
If you don't have a PhD, you're instantly worthless as well.
Not interested.
It's been a good run, but I guess I can't be here.
You don't have your technical degrees to be able to say a thing.
This guy is memeing, so for people who don't know, it's not a leftist account, but he's putting the rhetoric there, obviously.
And he's memeing about a certain somebody, Talcom X. Love Talcum X. Let's go to the next one.
So we can see Talcum X has deleted himself.
Oh no!
Oh, he had a Masters and everything, but he's gone.
Yeah, deleted his account.
I wonder if he'll be back in a week.
Does he get like a week to un-deactivate it?
I think he might be.
Yeah, of course he will.
Because he'll realise, where else can I get the reach that I want?
And also, Elon's not banning anybody.
No, you've done this to yourself.
Which again, I mean, go for it.
No one cares.
We go to the next one.
There's also the fact that Talcom X decided to...
There should be another link in there, John, if you can load it up.
Which is the fact that Talcom X decided to delete himself in response to him being retarded again.
Always.
Sean King.
It's a repeated pattern of behavior.
Yeah, so he decided to tweet out that the reason...
All of this is a disaster for the left.
Not because it's about the left versus the right, which kind of defeats your own argument to begin with, but it's because it's about white power.
You know, because Elon Musk is a member of the clan.
That's not the right link.
That's the wrong link, John.
Anyway, but it's a tweet from him in which he just says, this is about white power.
It's because Elon Musk grew up under...
Apartheid.
Apartheid South Africa.
Therefore, it's him doing that.
So he's upset that Twitter won't allow white nationalists to harass people, is his point.
Anyway, so we go to the...
Oh, have you got there?
There we have it.
So it's on checkmark L's as well, as you can see there.
At its root, Elon Musk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about leftists, it writes about white power.
The man was raised in apartheid by a white nationalist.
He's upset that Twitter won't allow white nationalists to target and harass people.
You know, like, the way that people have said, like, oh, free speech, free speech, free...
Does that count as defamation?
Calling his dad a white nationalist?
I... Maybe that's why he's deleted his account.
It might be.
Because that's not a good look.
Elon's got FU money.
He probably could sue.
He'd be fine.
Yeah?
You have to pay Sean King $400,000 because you lose...
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Nothing to him.
If we move forward, we can see some other accusations of apartheidism.
Wonder if Elon will copy the apartheid rules of his home country, South Africa, and give us checkmarks based on our skin color.
The whiter the checkmark, the more rights you have on Twitter asking for a friend.
This is a weird thing that they've all jumped on, in which they're just like, he's going to do an apartheid.
Is this real?
What?
No, is this a real tweet?
This is a real tweet.
And the amazing thing is, because of course...
You did this.
Do you remember?
You progressives, you Tumblrites, you all did this once.
If we go forward, we can see some examples of that.
Here you have.
There's Google.
There's Google giving you a little apartheid sticker.
Oh, yes.
Black-owned business, women-led business.
There we are.
They labelled the businesses.
Black-owned is specifically different from highly rated, I see.
Whoops!
Women-led and are highly rated different subjects.
They can't be the same.
That's Google.
Okay?
Like, this was a real thing.
None of you complained, because of course, well, racial segregation's good when you don't.
If we move forward as well, we can also see some other examples of how this might work.
I love this article just saying, look out for the badge.
Like it's a threat.
The tagline there, just look out for it.
Okay.
Yikes.
Let's go to the next one so we can see some other examples.
Black-owned.
Did you see this was some, I think it was some superstore chain that we covered at the time.
It's just like, yeah, you guys literally did this in the name of progressivism.
Not new.
We move forward as well.
We can see some more stuff.
So we see, oh, a certain harasser.
Professional harasser.
Taylor Lawrence, the doxer of libs of TikTok, going, let's all go back to Tumblr.
And then prayer emoji.
Okay, bye-bye.
Yeah.
Do it.
Get lost.
No one cares.
People like you over at Tumblr.
This really, like...
Maybe.
It was a lightbulb moment for me, because I realised it's totally true.
The Tumblrites.
The cringiest, memiest, left-wing weirdos of the internet.
I mean, I remember them just being a complete joke.
They all grew up and overtook all these spaces.
They overtook all these institutions.
And it's not just the university.
Tumblr is probably the best one because of just how cringe it is as well.
Yep.
I was saying earlier, we covered it on the podcast a few months back, there was a big article talking about somebody on Tumblr who was saying, like, all this woke stuff came from Glee, and she gave quite a good explanation as to how it all came from Glee, which sounded very believable, and then all of these Tumblrites, the actual person who wrote the Tumblr post explaining it all, turned out to have gone on from being just a Tumblrite to a relatively high-ranking Hollywood executive.
Yeah, so they really did infiltrate all of the institutions.
Every single one of them.
And I'm just reminded of Internet Historian's video about the Tumblr versus 4chan war that happened.
It's got the little models on a game board for a laugh.
And I think there is something to be said of this, which is it definitely is.
4chan and Tumblr.
For all the weirdness that they are.
That's like pitting Conan the Barbarian against a baby.
Yeah, it didn't go well for Tom.
No, it really didn't.
So, for all the weirdness that they both have, both on free speech have a distinct view, which is one is for free speech, and one is for ban everything that triggers me.
And, well, the Ban Everything That Triggers Me Brigade have been taking place in taking boardrooms all over the country in every single position, all over the world even.
I remember there was some tweet of some guy being like, this is Twitter's HQ in Brazil.
Elon, make sure to take them out on the street.
You just slide the footage in, you know, when you see it.
And this is why I'm loving this and seeing the reality there, which is that all of these people, again...
These people should be selling pencils in the streets, screaming at people, because they're insane folks.
They should not be anywhere near any lever of power.
And I love this meme here.
You're going to go back to Tumblr?
You will.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
We'll move to the next one.
More salt.
We have Pocahontas, who is very mad.
This deal is dangerous for our democracy.
Billionaires like Elon Musk play by a different set of rules than everyone else, accumulating power for their own gain.
Oh no.
Oh, imagine if another tech billionaire did that.
This must be internalised white supremacy from Mrs.
Warren here, given that it was her ancestors that were killed for this democracy, surely.
What are you doing, Elizabeth?
Our democracy, again.
If we move on, we can see someone whining about him being controlled by the Russians.
I don't think he needs Russian money.
I don't think the richest man in the world needs that.
I think he'll be fine without it.
We've got the next one.
We also have someone screeching about apartheid again, who also deleted their account after this.
So maybe that's also right about the suing aspect.
I won't go through this, but he's just like, yeah, it's because of Nazis.
And we're going to have to deal with the Nazis the way our grandparents did.
So, okay, that's an open threat.
That's a breach of the TOS. Yeah.
Threat of violence.
Yeah.
He describes himself as an anti-racism educator, and his book's called Dispatches from the Race War.
Pfft.
When you're literally saying, yeah, I'm giving you dispatches from the race war, I think, yeah, you're not someone anyone should ever talk to.
You're the equivalent of the clan.
A former member of the Manson family cult, then?
Yes.
If we go to the long-term effects, we'll end this off with the long-term effects.
And we start off with some communists being like, yeah, we're going to kill Elon Musk, because, okay, I imagine they're all going to get banned, if nothing else.
And then we move to the next one, we can see C-SPAN reporting on the White House, who are very disturbed.
Why are they disturbed?
Their power base has just been shattered.
I mean, this is one of these central pillars that's upholding Biden.
And as you can see, the press secretary being very mad here and going out with a statement.
The president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms.
Has he, bugger?
Well, no, no.
Let's be fair.
He has.
He's been concerned about the power staying in his hands.
Yes, that's true.
One of the interesting things I think I saw AA point out was that obviously they've been using Twitter and other branches of social media as just an extra arm of the government.
Now that Twitter's not going to be in their hands anymore, they're just going to have to do it themselves and be even more transparent about it.
So it'll be very interesting to see where they go from here.
Yeah.
If we go to the next one, we have her talking about the fact that she wants to overturn, well, sorry, reform, as she puts it, Section 230.
All of a sudden, the antitrust reforms, because she's very mad about the fact that all of a sudden, I have a bit of a worry about the fact that these tech billionaires...
Has it ever been clearer that government antitrust and anti-monopoly regulation is just a way for government to extend power over these companies?
Yeah.
It's over companies that don't play ball.
She's not interested in doing any of this to Facebook or all the rest of it.
They're not a threat.
Whereas someone who believes in free speech is a threat because they might let a certain story in the next election just freely spread and people can read the news instead of it being tightly controlled by the party paper.
I mean, that is really how they look at this.
We move to the next one.
There's also the news here.
Oh, well, the point being made by this chap here.
It's like, oh no, imagine if they undermine this diversity of opinion that we have in tech.
You just look at it.
It's embarrassing.
No antitrust stuff will be ever put against any of these companies because they'll play ball.
But the one that has a chap, who might actually not be a far leftist, yeah, he has to be dealt with.
If we go to the next one, we have the news that apparently Trump has said he won't return to Twitter, even if he's unbanned.
He's going to instead go with Truth Social instead, his social media platform he's setting up.
I understand that he wants to maintain loyalty to his own brand, but please, Donald.
I don't know.
I imagine he'll probably end up being back on there at least posting news or something.
Come on.
If we go to the next one, the bad man, Romlyn Tomlinson, was back for all of...
Like five minutes?
Yeah.
And then he's been suspended again, so anyone who is suspended is still suspended, as you can see.
The evil bad bad man, as we are informed to call him.
If we go to the next one...
This is the dying gasps of the previous regime enacting this right now.
Yeah, if you go to the next one, it's just Ann Coulter giving us a big old list of just all the people that have been attacked in this way.
She's like, why don't you just build your own?
Well...
Yeah, after you banned literally everyone, yeah, you kind of did, and now that's happening to you, you're like, well, this is unjust.
It was never unjust when it happened to you, did it?
Sorry, it happened to other people.
Move to the next one.
We also have, of course, Tim Pool saying here, where are my manners?
Cole Benjamin, aka Sargon, needs to be reinstated.
Tip of the beanie to old Tim as well.
It's very nice of you.
But also, I imagine it will be fun as well.
I imagine Cole will have some fun there.
We're upsetting certain people.
And in other Musk news, there are some more links here, John, if you can load them up.
Which is that there's the fact that, well, apparently Elon Musk had a chat with Bill Gates.
Which I think is incredibly funny.
Apparently Bill Gates reached out to him and was like, hey, let's do some philanthropy work together.
And Musk just wrote back, hey, do you still have a half a billion dollar short position against Tesla?
And Gates was like, well, yeah, I haven't closed it yet.
So Elon was just like, okay, bye, get stuffed.
Not interested.
Not going to talk to you.
Not going to have a chat with someone who's literally trying to destroy my company.
Fair enough.
Good to know.
Good to know that the Gates man himself is not going to be part of the Cabal and Elon is not going to work with them.
Elon, in terms of all of the progressive causes, he seems to agree with at least some of them, like the climate change stuff, except he just realises that maybe private business is what's going to solve this, not governments.
His approach is, I'm going to solve it.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
And if threatening that, we'll just make a new place on our next planet.
And then we'll see this last one here, we have Elon Musk saying, he responded and said, yeah, that's completely true, that leak.
However, he didn't leak it, some friend did.
If we go to the next one, he also says, if you need to lose a boner, there you have it.
There's Gates's gut.
And I thought I'd end this off on Mr.
Musk's final evolution, as I see it, or at least I hope to see it, which he will turn into Mr.
House and Capistan Lands.
So I thought I'd end this off, because someone took some speeches from Fallout New Vegas, Mr.
House, talking about how he'd rule New Vegas, and I don't know, maybe Elon will end up here.
Let's play.
I prefer the term autocrat.
I would rule as a chief executive.
I would not answer to a board of directors or any other entity.
Nothing to impede progress.
If you want to see the fate of democracies, look out the windows.
My judgment.
I have no interest in abusing others, just as I have no interest in legislating or otherwise dictating what people do in their private time.
Nor have I any interest in being worshipped as some kind of machine god messiah.
I am impervious to such corrupting ambitions.
But autocracy?
Firm control in the hands of a technological and economic visionary?
Yes.
That Vegas shall have.
This is just reminding me why I sided with House all those years ago.
I saw you there, I thought, is that Thomas Sowell coming in you?
Well, I've been reading some Rothbard as well recently, and Hopper, and they're full-on Ancapistan.
Yeah, and well, Mr.
House makes a good point, doesn't he?
And I hope Elon ends up there.
She'll be good for humanity, if nothing else.
I love how Mr.
House in Fallout New Vegas also wants to go to the stars and set up their colony ships.
Why not?
Literally what Elon is planning to do.
I mean, if your whole idea is the Earth is screwed as it is, it's like, well, why not just make somewhere better up there?
Yeah.
There you go.
The one place that hasn't been corrupted by communism.
Space!
Let's go to the next segment.
Alright!
Speaking of people who think the Earth is screwed, the climate alarmists are back.
That is right.
The rhetoric is ramping back up.
The protests are starting.
Roads are being blocked.
And people are making a general nuisance of themselves yet again.
That's right.
It's climate alarmist season, everybody.
And these people are just as nutty as ever.
So they've mainly popped up back in time for Earth Day, which is a day that I don't think anybody but the climate nutters celebrate.
Their holy day.
It is their holy day, so we must respect them for that, but that was Friday, and today is Tuesday, so I can go back to insulting them.
I love the idea that for their holy day they drink water and eat the bugs.
And they pick up the ants off them, ooh, a delicacy.
Yeah, Earth Day, for anyone who's not aware, has been around since 1970, is to promote awareness of environmental destruction.
So to be fair, a decent thing to be concerned about, because I don't think even those who, because I'm not going to say much about climate change itself, but even those who are skeptics of that whole movement can still say, well, I don't want, like, all the lovely forests and fields and everything nice about nature destroyed.
We all still care about the environment.
Some people are just more sceptical on certain issues than others.
But I just wanted to point out before we go any further that there is this article by John from January called Where Science Becomes Faith, where he discusses how certain people, like the climate activist movements, take scientific calculations and turn them into a religion.
So, for instance, the climate activists always take the IPCC and then they look at the absolute worst scenario that's listed out in that, take that as faith, and then sort of go out and proselytize to everybody else.
So I thought that was quite relevant to that.
Go check out that article if you're interested.
But let's start...
So I thought I would just sort of, like, collect...
A lot of the stuff that's been going on, because I noticed recently that it's starting to ramp back up again, as I've stated.
And so the first thing was that Extinction Rebellion seemed to have noticed that a lot of the climate activists, well, alarmists, had been getting some bad press since Insulate Britain later on last year, were known for blocking ambulances and just blocking any kind of emergency services.
So Extinction Rebellion has specifically gone out and said, we've We don't stop ambulances, guys.
We swear, we're good.
We always step aside for the ambulances.
How do you know?
Sorry, but you guys glued yourself to trains.
Entire streets were blocked off.
An ambulance needs to go down that street.
They can't move you.
So yes, you do.
But they posted this video, Callum.
This one video!
Showing this one ambulance.
Showing this one ambulance going past.
So I have to believe them.
The funny thing is as well, if they do this for an ambulance, all you have to do if you want to get past is just wait for the ambulance to show up and then just follow them.
What are they going to do?
Throw themselves between the ambulance and you?
Maybe.
I mean, they are completely stupid.
Where's that mum with the SUV and she rammed them a little bit just to bug her off and then she ended up getting charged in court?
Yeah, absolutely ridiculous.
But they are obviously trying to do better with their optics, because I think the person was Roger Hallam, who incidentally actually helped to form Extinction Rebellion, and then they kicked him out because his optics were too bad, because he was saying some rather dodgy things about the Holocaust.
Yes!
He'd said a few things about the Holocaust that got him kicked out of the organisation.
He went on to partake and insulate Britain, and in an interview they were just sort of like, well, if you were sat in front of an ambulance, would you move?
And he was like, no.
I'd let them die.
For the environment!
And for Mao!
Yeah, but they are blocking bridges again, so we've got Talk TV, Extinction Rebellion's blocked off both Vauxhall and Lambeth Bridge.
This is from a few weeks ago.
Extinction Rebellion themselves responded to this by saying,"...tell the truth, this is us moving out of the way this afternoon, and you've seen it many times before, yet your pinned tweet right now prompts driving people into people standing on pavements." You!
You are the extremists!
XR are non-violent and move for emergency services.
Oh, bless them.
I think we should all give them a little round of applause.
But I love the reframing there, like, ah, you don't want us to block ambulances?
What, you want people to drive into people in the pavement, you terrible extremists?
It's obvious, just like, once again, they're just trying to change the tactics, change the rhetoric, and say, no, you don't care about humanity, so you're evil.
When you've reduced your movement to having to argue about, yeah, we don't want people to die, we trust us, we don't...
It's a pretty low bar for activist movements, isn't it?
You're in defence territory, which you really should have never got into.
It's like forming a party, a political party, called the No Murder Party.
We stand strongly against murder.
We think it's very bad.
Trust us.
And then they also decided to hang off of the side of Tower Bridge.
So they've got that banner up saying, end fossil fuels now, and you can see they're just hanging off the side of the bridge for some reason.
Lift the bridge.
Do it.
Do it.
We'll see what happens.
The question of, like, oh, we let ambulances pass.
Okay, well, the police have had to close off the bridge.
For you guys, hanging off the side of the bridge, how does the ambulance pass?
In that scenario, they're going to have to take a detour, which could, if you're in an emergency situation, be the difference between life and death.
So you might want to optically throw it out there, but no, you're still a menace and you're still a massive nuisance and potentially causing people harm.
And honestly, I just like it when they come out and be like, no, we hate people, I think we should kill them, because every so often one of the more honest ones does that.
Like this person, an Extinction Rebellion rabble rouser who said we need to euthanise baby boomers.
Yeah, that sounds like the kind of people who hate humans.
Yes, because these people are very anti-human in their rhetoric.
Environmental radical Jessica Townsend, 59, said rich boomers would be the first to go under her sick purge because the Daily Mail has to be a bit melodramatic about it.
Is she not a boomer, though?
Well, that's the thing.
Even though she herself is a so-called boomer, Townsend told senior eco-warriors, how about euthanizing boomers as they cause the problem as such a big part of the population?
First goes to the rich boomers.
Purple-haired grandmother, who was found guilty of criminal damage for an eco-process in 2020, surprise, surprise, added, if they start with the rich, they'll never get to me.
Hell of a dunk on yourself.
That's right.
I'm so poor, you'll never reach me.
But also, it's just obviously not true.
I mean, we've gone through the Maoist books.
What happens every time the poor end up dead first?
Well, yeah, because the elites are the ones in charge, and oftentimes those elites tend to be in sort of like the upper middle class, and they always end up going, well, we can just get rid of all of these people who helped us get to where we are, because it's easy.
And she has also claimed people who oppose Extinction Rebellion will be referred to in the same way as those who oppose the abolition of slavery, the enfranchisement of the working classes, and the suffragettes, because, of course, they always have to refer back to those specific examples, don't they?
Because they can never actually point to any examples where the climate alarmists have been right.
They can never point to where they've had the point and made it and won the victory.
So they have to point to slavery.
I mean, you could say the ozone layer, but then that was actually led by scientists and not weirdos.
It wasn't people blocking buses, it was people going, oh, I have a solution if we just stop making these fridges.
And speaking of the managerial elite, which do need to be cleared out, The Guardian here talking about the environment pushing the World Economic Forum ESG agenda.
I'm sure you've heard of the ESG thing, are you?
I haven't, actually.
Oh, okay.
We probably need to do a premium podcast on it at some point.
I was doing research, but then...
Got away from me.
It's environmental, social, and governance, and it's basically new standards that the World Economic Forum and the organizations related to them, like BlackRock and Vanguard, are pushing, where to be able to get investment from those massive hedge funds like BlackRock, you need to show that you have a certain dedication to environmental, social, and government concerns.
Guess what those are?
Ideological commitments to being a leftist.
Yes, exactly that, and that's why you get a lot of wokeism, and that's probably also why a lot of these companies that go woke don't actually go broke like you'd expect them to, despite their goods and services performing terribly, because they're being propped up by these massive trillion-dollar hedge funds, because they're pushing the right message.
And The Guardian wants to let you know they're absolutely for that.
Stakeholder capitalism for the win.
The environment ranks low in polls of the public's fears.
That's because most people on the street really don't care, to be perfectly honest.
We also just know you guys are exaggerating.
Yeah.
I mean, what is AOC's preposition that we were going to die?
Don't we have like four years left until the world ends, according to her now?
Probably two, given that when she was talking, her Green New Deal was the idea that you needed to, the only way to solve climate change was basically to give all of America back to the indigenous peoples, and then they would solve it.
We would also kill all the cows and build a train to Hawaii, which...
Ah, yes.
Killing farm animals from pure compassion.
Train to Hawaii, from the mainland.
Good luck with that one.
I'm sure there's going to be no carbon emissions whatsoever.
Trade in the ocean.
How's that going to work?
I don't know, man.
I mean, we've got the channel tunnel, you know, just extend it for a few thousand miles, they'll be fine.
So, while sickness ranks on top, yet we all get more ill as the planet...
Heats.
So, of course, they always ignore that it's improvements in efficiency and productive capabilities that improve emissions from companies and countries, not top-down state control like these activists want.
I mean, I've been over before how Extinction Rebellion literally want there to be a green council that Parliament has to answer for, in the same way that Ibram X. Kendi has his anti-racist council for Congress in America, which is basically, I think you've said before, green fascism.
Yeah, I mean, Soviet in Russian means council, so it would be a green Soviet.
So we would have a green Soviet state.
Fantastic.
And these people all hate and protest against capitalism whenever they're doing these protests as well.
So they don't recognize that socialist governments tend to be the worst offenders when it comes to emissions in the entire world.
Like, how's China doing?
Distinction Rebellion.
They aren't white for now.
We've not decided yet.
They're white when they're in the earnings reports or education, but when it's emissions are not white.
So it's okay.
And they carry on.
This suggests that if climate action can be linked to well-being, the campaign to reduce emissions is onto a winner.
That's not to say economics cannot play a role in convincing households that the way we make and sell goods and services needs to change.
One important reform would be to the way the state and economists report on success of economic policies and especially economic growth.
And they just go on to basically say we need to reform GDP so that instead of looking at gross domestic product, we're just looking at the emissions taken to make money, which doesn't seem particularly useful if you're trying to measure the economy North Korea's GDP going through the roof now.
China, not doing so good.
But yeah, I think I'd just like to say that the best people generally suited to protecting the environment are individuals and not big government or organizations like the World Economic Forum, which this is, in my eyes, hate to use the term, silently dog-whistling to.
They're giving the old nudge-nudge, wink-wink in their direction.
We all have to live here, and if you want to make money continuously, you have to keep things sustainable.
Otherwise, you get the tragedy of the commons.
Do you know what that is?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So for anybody unaware, Tragedy of the Commons is basically if everything is publicly owned, there's no incentive to keep hold of it because you're never going to know if somebody else is going to take something away before you get to use it.
So everybody just goes for a massive grab.
Whereas if you've got private ownership of something, you have a built-in incentive to sustain it.
Otherwise, you won't be able to make money off it anymore.
John Stossel has a neat experiment you can do with your kids, actually.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Which is that you get some coins and a big circle.
If you put your coin in the middle and leave it, it'll double, but anyone can take it.
Nobody leaves their coin.
No, everyone takes their coins.
But then if you plot off and say, this is your plot of land, that's their plot of land, and if you leave it in your plot of land, no one can take it and it'll double.
What do you do?
Everyone just leaves it.
Let's it double and double and double.
Then you get more money.
It's a very simple sort of logic, but leftists don't understand that.
Private ownership actually works.
There's an interesting example as well, which is in Mongolia, and this relates to environmental issues as well.
In Mongolia, they used to have public ownership of the bison, so they only had a very strict population of bison throughout the entire country, and then they gave it over from state control to private control, and within a year, I think the population of bison had doubled, because it was like, well, they're useful to me, they're mine.
I actually have an incentive Yeah, I have an incentive to breed them rather than just let them start to die off slowly.
But these people never understand these sorts of basic human incentives.
My point was, literally, you could do it with a child, and a child will get it.
Yeah, but no, leftists are below the intelligence of children, as we know.
If we move along, so Extinction Rebellion in Cambridge, we're just being, let's be really clear and logical, if countries cannot even stop burning coal, they're never going to stop burning oil and gas.
A revolution is required, that's now beyond doubt.
So just saying it outright, I assume.
Would this revolution be peaceful?
And no deaths?
Imagine going to the Chinese government and saying, yeah, we need a revolution to get rid of you.
We really did that.
And we're going to kill you.
The permanent revolution carries on and on and on.
And that's what Extinction Rebellion are looking for.
And then over in America, we had...
NASA scientists, who I think is potentially an actual NASA scientist, probably one of the offshoot nutters, gluing himself to Chase Bank in Los Angeles with a sign next to him that says, we are nature defending itself.
The scientists of the world have been saying this for decades and it's got to stop.
Yes, for decades the scientists of the world have been saying the world will end in 20 years.
20 years comes later.
No, no, no.
It'll be 5 years from now.
5 years comes later.
No, no.
Seriously, we're absolutely super serious this time.
10 years from now, okay?
ManBearPig is going to show up one of these days.
I'm super serial, guys.
And this was mirrored in Britain where there was a bunch of Extinction Rebellion protesters as well who were wearing jackets that literally had a label on them saying, I'm a scientist.
And they were gluing themselves to businesses because this is what the scientists would do.
It's honestly beyond parody at this point.
A little Billy in art class.
I'm a scientist.
Takes the Pritch stick and just goes...
Sure you are, little Billy.
And we had something similar where PETA activists glued hands to a Starbucks counter because vegan milk costs too much, apparently.
Because once again, they do not understand economics.
They're like, ah, they're just trying to price gouge us because they know that they can't.
No, it's supply and demand, you morons.
There's not much demand and...
I don't even want to explain it.
But yeah, it is showing that there is a certain...
...organic influence from one of these organisations to another, because I don't remember Peter ever really gluing themselves to things before Extinction Rebellion started doing it a few years ago.
So these activist organisations are all influencing one another.
And then we've got the most extreme example yet, which was on Earth Day, in celebration of the Earth, a man decided to release a lot of carbon into the atmosphere by burning himself alive.
Jesus.
Yeah, which is honestly really shocking, and I don't know if I really want to joke about this, because it's really awful.
Well, hang on, because there was that person earlier saying that we basically need to get rid of all the boomers, euthanise them.
Oh, this guy is just an early starter.
Yeah, at least he's got the conviction.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll give him props for that.
that he's got more conviction than that lady yeah so this guy is win alan bruce who ran a portrait photo studio in boulder his social media account was filled with posts about the environment and buddhism he left a cryptic post on his facebook with a fire emoji and the date of his death which was 22nd of april 2022 the post appears to have been edited a few days before his death dr k kritty a buddhist priest from boulder wrote on twitter that mr bruce had been planning to self-formal 8 for at least a year perfectly fine with this you know
i'm not going to refer you to a therapist or anything i'm just gonna yeah sounds good man this guy was my friend he meditated with our sangha this act is not suicide this is a deeply fearless act of compassion I bet his family are thrilled.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
If he's got any children, they're going to be like, oh, I'm so proud, Dad.
We are piecing together the info, but you've been planning to do it for at least one year.
Hashtag win, Bruce.
I am so moved.
That's creepy as hell.
This is suicide, and he's got a fan club clapping him along.
So there's...
I just imagine him setting himself on fire.
He started to scream and they're all still around going, yes!
Yes!
Do it for the environment!
Yes!
But yeah, the climate derangement is literally driving some people to set themselves on fire to make a political message.
So, as far as I'm concerned, honestly, climate rhetoric has just gone way too far at this point.
I mean, Jesus...
Really?
Now?
Yeah.
I know, it's a shock it took this long, but when people start setting themselves on fire, maybe we need to calm down a little bit.
And there's just a little bit extra.
Andy Ngo was posting about the fact that there was Canada, there were protests where people inspired by Insulate Britain were sitting in the road, and like what happened over here, drivers weren't taking that.
Drivers got pissed and decided to try and drag them off the road.
Fair play to you.
Good Canadians.
And there are some new starts.
There are some upstarts.
There are new kids on the block in climate activism with the incredibly childishly named organization Just Stop Oil.
Just stop, guys.
Seriously.
Mum, just stop, okay?
You're really hurting my feelings.
It's such a petulant name, isn't it?
Just stop.
I've seen these guys hanging up banners across some of the motorways in England as well.
It never fails to get a laugh out of me when I see it, because I just imagine a little four-year-old just...
Just like throwing all the toys out of the pram or something.
And they've got a little quote.
What we do over the next three to four years is going to determine the future of humanity from Sir David King, February 2021.
And I'm sure he's been saying that for the past 20 years.
They're saying these guys are saying that we need no new projects involving oil and other fossil fuels to be greenlit from this year onwards in the UK because that's going to help with the cost of living crisis, isn't it?
They don't care about that.
They don't care about humans even living.
Because Net Zero has led us so well so far, we just need to go even further into it.
And they've also started, as well as gluing themselves to things, all the other things, locking their necks to things with zip ties.
And you can see why they do this.
It's the same as glue.
It's to make it so that if you try and remove them from private property that they're trespassing on, you might have a chance of injuring them, and therefore they can play the victim card.
No, I'm not even concerned with what they're...
What they're doing to themselves in that sense.
What I'm concerned about is people getting dragged into this now.
Because this obviously comes off as some kind of suicide cult.
It is.
It has been for a long time.
But to be fair, these people have been standing outside Kingsbury Oil Depot, which is contravening Warwickshire's council court injunction.
They're risking arrest, prison and fines simply for doing this.
And to be fair...
Simply for doing this.
Yeah, but if the most that they are doing is standing outside of the fence, not causing any harm, not blocking any vehicles or anything like that, I don't think the law should get involved in it, because they're just basically just being annoying.
As long as they're not actually, you know, physically intruding on the premises or coercing anyone into stuff.
Sending their friends on fire.
Setting their friends on fire, you know, then people should be allowed to do these sorts of protests where it's just a generally peaceful protest.
But if you want just a full summation of the kind of attitude that these sorts of people, the climate alarmists, the death cultists have, there was a recent interview on GB News where Darren Grimes interviewed a Just Stop Oil protester where it ended like this, if you want to play the clip.
Look, Darren, Darren, you want to know how to bring the country together?
GB News needs to tell the truth about the climate crisis.
The best thing you could do is tell your audience...
This is your moment!
This is your moment, Graham.
You've got your moment here.
GB News are giving you that platform.
Come on, make the case.
I'm not going to talk on a show with a climate denier.
Thank you for having me on here, and I'm off now.
Bye.
Here's your opportunity.
Just tell everybody what you want.
No.
Goodbye.
I don't know about you, I'm convinced.
Yeah, I know, right?
I'm going to sell myself tomorrow.
These people are children, and they resort to childish tactics and childish rhetoric.
These are not people interested in conversation or reasonable debate.
You do not have to listen to them.
And if they block your car, drag them off the road.
I loved seeing that.
Great, guys.
Anyway, we don't have much time, so I suppose we'll just get straight into the fact that the boats have stopped.
All of them.
Yeah.
All the sea people from the channel.
It's gone.
I thought it was impossible.
It's impossible.
It would never happen.
It's not like the Rwandan plan would help with that, in the slightest.
No, it's gone.
It's over.
And I'll start this off just by mentioning, doing a bit of a shill here, for the Russo's The Social Contract Book Club, the Call of Me Dead.
Which he explained to me, well, Rousseau's philosophy.
And one of the points in here is about the general will, and the fact that he believes that all societies should just conform to the general will, whatever that is, except when it's wrong, in which case we should ignore it.
Mad.
Explains a lot.
If you're interested in seeing Callum's soul get progressively destroyed, check it out.
Yeah, taking a look at left-wing ideology and its roots, and then you just realise, holy bugger, is this based on nothing?
It's the fact that it's based on a conception of a fantasy land that even the author said, well, this isn't real, but here's what would happen if it was real.
All left-wing theory.
Anyway, but we will come back to that because I'll mention it in a bit as well.
If we go to the next one, we can start seeing the results of the Rwandan plan.
This is something I have been a bit obsessed with, I will admit.
But it's because it's the biggest policy change in regards to immigration.
And, you know, all of the problems we've had for immigration, the crisis of 2016, the endless rapes, cologne, just unbelievable amounts of problems.
I mean, if you haven't read it, Douglas Murray's Strange Death of Europe, perfect thing to read.
And this is something that has really changed and has seemingly worked.
And we'll start off here just as you can see the Guardian documenting the screeching of the time the thing was announced.
If we go to the next one, we can see some...
Well, there should be another link in there, John, in which there's a guy complaining about the fact that he used to work for the Home Office, and he used to block stuff like this, and now it's happening, and that's terrible.
Yes, thank you for exposing yourself as corrupt, and part of the, I don't know what you call them, the deep state that have been destroying this country from within.
As you can see here, former Home Secretary, permanent Secretary, Sir David Norrington, the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda is inhumane, it's morally reprehensible, unlawful, it may well be unworkable.
What's so bad about Rwanda?
It's like he's almost saying it's an asshole country or something.
Racist.
We go to the next one.
We can see the trip itself being mapped here.
As you can see, you've got the RAF base there.
We're going to be shipping them from all the way to Rwanda there.
We go to the next one.
There's a rendition.
I saw people making snakes and ladders comparisons.
There we have it.
It's that last square right before you win, straight back to the start.
So you're not even going back to the start, are you?
You're not going back to...
You're being thrown off the board.
You're not going back to Iran, instead you're going to Africa, which is especially funny considering how racist much of the Middle East is.
We're going to enjoy that.
If we go to the next one, we can see the reality of the situation.
Should be a different link in there, John.
So the reality of the situation from Migration Watch, in which they mention the fact that, well, here's the facts of the situation.
Number one, most of them destroy their documents.
Number two, many were already rejected for asylum in Europe.
Number three, lack of ability to vet those coming means a public safety nightmare.
100% true.
Evidently true.
How can I make such a claim that they destroy their documents?
Because they film it.
They film it and put it on TikTok.
Let's go to the next one.
This is a video I made a while back.
We're not going to play the audio.
There's just a segment in here.
Let's play it without the audio.
All my fans are going to love this one.
Look, here's my ID. And into the sea it goes.
Bye.
We can stop that.
Wait, what?
There's a whole other joke.
Wait, what?
What was that after that?
It's a joke about Biden and the Dems, but...
Oh, okay.
All right.
But the point there is just that's the only place I could find the clip again, in which the guy's just like, yeah, well there's my ID. Yeah, in the sea.
He's a genuine refugee.
He genuinely wants you to know his story, doesn't he?
He's going to come over here and integrate and be a proper British man.
Filming themselves destroying their documents.
Good to know.
And then we have the media reporting on this, in which they're whining that it'll never work.
Can't happen.
We've got the Mirror here, who previously published a completely fake news story, you may remember.
They said they interviewed a guy from the hotel, and then the guy retweeted it, saying, I've never spoken to you.
Pfft.
I don't think I did see that, actually.
100% fake news.
That's amazing.
We spoke to Emmanuel, and then Emmanuel just reached me and goes, no, I didn't.
You learn nothing with me and my work.
Anyway, there's another fake news story from here, which is like, nasty Rwanda asylum seeker scheme exposed.
What it will cost and why it will fail.
Home office claims it is legal due to new rules being pushed through last year in a post-Brexit shake-up.
God bless Brexit.
God bless the Brexiteers.
You have made my dreams come true.
They say it will be easier to deem people inadmissible to claim asylum if they pass through a safe third country on the way here.
That cuts off their bid for UK refugee status at the first hurdle.
yeah so what's the problem Seems pretty sensible.
Works.
God bless Brexit.
What's the complaint?
And then they have a section called Why It Won't Work.
The policy may only send a small proportion of people who arrive in Britain to Rwanda, so it won't solve the refugee crisis.
So what?
It's about sending a message.
And they're getting the message.
And I'll prove to you they've gotten the message in a minute.
It's understood the numbers will be in the thousands over the first few years, compared to the 5,000 who arrived on small boats in January alone.
So okay, we're going to start shipping out the January lot, and then the February lot, and then the market, move on.
And they say, while Boris Johnson's claims will deter others, he admitted the number on small boats arrivals is unlikely to fall to zero soon.
It's unlikely to fall to zero.
Keep that in mind.
Can you guess what the number is?
We'll go to the next one, which we have the Tory MPs whining about this, or at least some cucks.
So, Conservative MP says a safe route would clearly kill the evil traffic of people smuggling in a stroke.
That's one way of dealing with it.
Why, we just make it easier for them to get in?
No, this is a stupid complaint you get from Labour, which is there are no safe routes.
There are no safe legal routes.
It's impossible.
What about just applying for asylum?
That's not possible.
It is possible.
Like, they're just openly lying.
And apparently some Conservative MPs are silly enough to just fall for open lies.
Including this one.
He says, I fail to see how moving people to Rwanda is going to, in any way, disrupt this money-making scheme with these people traffickers.
And he says, they're just going to use different routes to land people on our shores.
I'm just not getting it.
I'm afraid.
Well, keep being afraid.
I'm so scared, guys.
They were all going to dash to the future and solve the problem and you can sit there and have a cry.
Mm-hmm.
Not one else's problem.
Let's be fair, let's be honest, you've said it many times, there is a large contingency of the Conservative Party, which are not Conservative, and are just Labour in disguise.
Conservative former minister Sir Bob Neill suggested investing the money intended for the Rwandan immigration deal in improving the UK's cases for handling the asylum cases.
No, making it easier to get here will not stop the trade.
Make the trade worse.
Yes.
You are incentivizing people to come here.
Simple things.
If we go to the next one, you can see this is a video I made a long time ago in which you see, well, one of these safe schemes, and there are loads of them.
This is just the one for Syrians, because at the time they were whining that there was no schemes for Syrians to come here, except the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme, which they didn't know about, presumably, or were just lying.
They had no idea and didn't want to say it.
There's also just the fact that the conservative NPCs seem to be falling for the George Floyd effect that we've mentioned previously.
And I thought I'd insert this just because I think it's really funny.
Let's go to the next one.
I know I've been showing you her.
So this is a lady who represents the George Floyd effect really well.
I don't think this lady's ever been conservative.
Let's be honest.
Come on.
No, but the Conservative MPs are falling for the same thing.
Oh, no.
They're arguing there's no safe legal rules.
So the George Floyd effect is when your NPC friends in your life go along with the current thing, which is the general will, as Rousseau called it.
Not because they've thought about it.
Not because they have any information on it.
It's just, you know, they've never spoken about that issue before, but all of a sudden they definitely know what the right thing is to do.
Well, it's groupthink, and I know this is kind of cringe to use this term for some people, but they are just like sheep.
They see the general direction that people are going in, and they just tag along because they're afraid of going against the crowd.
Here's an individual.
Let's see if she's a sheep.
This is a female bishop in the United States.
She went with We Are All Muslims.
Bishop of Christianity.
Okay.
Right.
Not you then, presumably.
There's also her here.
Of course, she's into the mask mandate after they got rid of it.
She's like, I'm going to continue to wear the mask.
COVID isn't over.
I mean, that's allowed.
Go to the next one.
We have Black Lives Matter.
Okay.
Yeah.
Literal George Floyd right there.
If we go to the next one as well, we have some statements from her, which she says, we have a black and Asian woman as vice president.
I'm letting that sink in and the tears are flying.
Comes off one way or another.
Okay.
I mean, oh no, a black woman is a vice president?
No!
She also goes with, Black Christians use faith to survive.
White Christians use it to oppress.
Says the bishop.
Says the white Christian.
Okay.
I can't get it over enough.
These people do exist.
We've got the next one just to represent.
There's also some other whining.
We have the Daily Mail here saying only 2% of the channel migrants are set to go to Rwanda.
Fewer than 200 a year expected to qualify for the scheme.
Like it's a work placement scheme.
You put it in your application form.
I love that.
If we scroll down, we can see they say, the new analysis is by the Refugee Council, which has opposed the scheme, found that only 172 of the migrants are deemed inadmissible last year.
Who cares what they think?
Like, I'm not going to believe the literal open border schmucks.
Like, they're not important to this conversation.
If we go to the next one, we have the smear merchants also whining that they don't get to go on a trip to Rwanda themselves, which is funny.
So they don't get to go with Priti Patel.
And if we go to the next couple here, we can see the reactions from the migrants.
Some here, the sun went with, they're still going to come.
We go to the next one, we have the data mail saying that, no, I'm not going to Rwanda, screw that.
And which one do you think it was?
Which one do you think is the reality?
Are they going to come or are they going to stop?
I think they might stop.
Yeah, let's go to the next link.
See the reality of the numbers.
There you have it.
Love my zeros.
Love my zeros!
That's beautiful.
That's the most beautiful piece of data I've ever seen.
It's very telling, isn't it?
It paints a picture.
People listening, we have the dates, migrants detected and boats detected.
18th of April, 88 migrants, 2 boats.
19th of April, 263 migrants, 7 boats.
20th of April, nothing.
21st.
Nada.
22nd.
Absolutely nobody.
23rd.
Again, just all you can hear is the wind.
No calls of refugees welcome, not happening.
24th.
There's just a tumbleweed going across the channel.
24th.
Nothing.
Nada.
Absolutely nothing.
That's beautiful.
Brilliant.
Beautiful British thing I've ever seen.
You solve the problem.
It's done.
There's the data for you there, which is, if you want to solve the problem, well, do the Israeli solution, which is send them to Rwanda.
Well, we will see if the numbers continue to be this glorious, but for the time being, it's looking good.
Looking pretty good, boys.
If the numbers go back up to one, I don't know, we'll pick the Congo next.
There you go.
Whatever has to be done.
We'll just send them deeper and deeper into Africa.
Enjoy the Civil War.
Have a gun.
We go to the next one, we can see the cope from this as well.
This is a BBC journo who is very upset that these numbers are what they are.
He says, for those asking, I haven't seen any Channel Crossing since last Tuesday.
This is likely due to the windy weather, not the Rwanda deterrent.
Trust me, it's the weather.
It's windy.
The migrants won't brave windy weather.
Oh, what was that, huh?
Must have been the wind.
Yeah, if we go to the next one, we have our locals who are just like, talking bollocks.
Here's me at the seaside.
It's fine.
It's about normal.
And it's just fake news.
And even if it wasn't fake news, let's say the winds are unbelievable.
There's tornadoes in the channel right now.
It's in humans.
Tidal waves, tsunamis, earthquakes, I don't know.
And they still come.
Yeah.
If we go to the next one, we can see the data.
We just have the data over the last few years.
If you scroll down, John, there's a bunch of graphs, and it just shows them coming every month of the year, constantly.
The wind didn't stop them.
I mean, even in December, you're getting people coming at the worst time.
Yeah, and we've had actual storms in that time when they've been coming, and it didn't stop them.
Nope.
Still turned up.
So no, it is the Rwandan deterrent by the looks of it.
And of course the Home Office is doing something wonderful at the same time, and whoever runs the Home Office Twitter is having fun.
I think they're still tweeting out like, hey look, this guy's doing very well in Rwanda, everything's fine!
This country protects human beings!
There's a direct quote, unlike England, who is, uh, ah, it's not safe for you here, you need to go to Rwanda.
El Ghur, or however you say it, is a French teacher in Rwanda, And another example of how the country is successfully integrating migrants, unlike us who fail to integrate them, which is a weird dunk on yourself, Home Office.
He is using his skills to teach and inspire the next generation.
No, no, Callum, I don't think you understand.
If we just advertise ourselves as well, if you come over here, you're never going to integrate.
Why would you even want to come here?
Look at how great it is over in Rwanda, guys.
We're a very intolerant country.
We won't integrate you.
You won't be able to get a job like this, guys.
Have you seen this Romy Tomlinson guy?
We don't even protect human beings in this country.
It's awful.
Lord of the Flies.
Rwanda.
Inclusive.
Diverse.
100% diverse.
And you'll get along.
And then we go to the next one.
I love how they've used this guy twice now.
A refugee to software engineer.
Software engineer emoji.
A guy on a laptop with a smiley face.
This could be you in Rwanda.
See that emoji?
That could be you.
Smiling.
Rwanda has given Sami the chance to fulfill his dreams, and now it's the country he calls home.
Rwanda's resettlement scheme means people like Sami can build a sublime future free from conflict and war.
Well, that's the thing.
If this is true, and if it is giving these people opportunities, then surely all of the refugee activists should be happy.
Because they don't need to come over here to be safe.
I mean, look at how good that Sami has it in Rwanda.
But that's the thing.
This is actually true of increasingly the majority of the world.
I mean, it used to be most of the world is an absolutely horrible place, and compared to heaven it is, of course.
But compared to a Syrian civil war, ISIS-controlled town...
Rwanda looks pretty good.
Pretty nice.
You can get along if you just work and integrate, and I'm sure the Rwandan viewers will agree.
All two of you.
God bless.
Send us a message.
You can organise a trip, it'll be fun.
But yeah, you can see, well, people settling in, and there is no given reason.
If you just want more money, that's not a reason to break into someone's country.
It's not good enough.
You can't just break into the United States if you're British, because...
I don't know, bored.
Dude, I only robbed the bank because I needed more money, okay?
It's fine.
It's a fair ride.
Are you gonna judge me?
But there we have it.
There's the new plan for immigration.
The beautiful, inclusive, diverse country that is Rwanda.
And, uh, yeah, all the boats.
Love my zeros.
Dominic Tajinsky has that completely right.
Let's go to the video comments.
Hey, Lotus Eaters.
So, I just had, uh, COVID. And, uh...
It was extremely mild.
In fact, I didn't even know I had COVID until I got tested.
The usual symptoms was a headache, a running nose, a sore throat, and a little bit of fatigue, but not a massive amount.
Of course, this was Omicron, but since Omicron is more contagious than Delta, which is far worse, people have nothing to really worry about.
Yeah, completely agree.
I've had Omicron like twice since the beginning of the year.
It's fine.
I also love how you're essentially vaccinated well as well.
Yeah.
Well, the first time I had it, I had symptoms for maybe three days, and one of the only symptoms that actually bothered me was the fact my hips were aching a bit.
And then the second time I had it, it was literally just a headache and a bit of a cold, and then it was done after a day.
So...
Sorry for getting your name, Rob.
I think it was Chet who was explaining to us that if you actually get the Omicron variant, this is the best possible option because you get such effective vaccine protection that you don't get from the vaccine itself because you're actually getting the virus properly in the same sense, even though it can help.
And so, yeah, not only that, you're actually better off by the end of it.
I mean, I'd much rather and have obviously had Omicron.
I mean, not going to say too much about it, but over the weekend, I did meet somebody who had got cancer from getting their second jab, and it was confirmed by the doctors that they'd spoken to.
And they were really young, going through chemotherapy now.
It was not pleasant.
So if there is even a slight chance that you could get cancer from getting the jab...
Or, you know, just get the actual Omicron variant and then you're fine.
Just to clarify as well, for no other reason, it's just that that's one of the statistics that will be in like the NHS reported side effects.
Yeah.
There's a whole list, go check it out because it's eye-opening what some people have gotten.
But yeah, apparently it kind of happened.
The funniest one was, what was it?
I think you and me were both looking at it, it was like there was 50 cases of syphilis or something.
It made me laugh because I'm like, what do you want to bet that's just people cheating?
Yeah, one of the documents that I went through, yeah, one of the...
It was HIV. Just a load of people just randomly got HIV from it.
I was like, oh, okay.
Alright.
Sorry, honey.
I swear it was the jab.
Yeah.
Although, well, I think we're allowed to talk about that here.
You remember there was an early video, I don't know if you've seen it, where the guy is talking about how he developed the vaccine?
He was like, yeah, so we took a part of the HIV... Yeah, that was in Australia.
They took a bit of the HIV as a clamp for the protein, for the spike protein in it, and it's like, this is not a good start.
I mean, the meme magic was too real.
How do we start by fixing COVID? Well, if we just give everyone AIDS, they won't have to worry.
LAUGHTER If everyone dies at 20, they don't have to worry about COVID. Yeah.
Let's go to the next one.
Dad's gotten a whole bunch more work done on the bus.
He's got the cabinet doors put up inside of the kitchen, and he put a door on the bathroom, and also inside the bathroom here, he has started working on the vanity cabinet.
Due to the panels not sticking to silicone very well, he has had to redo sticking on the shower panels.
And it looks like he's gotten started on that too.
Things are coming along pretty nice.
I remember when that bus was bare and there was nothing in it.
So I'm really impressed.
One of the things I am really envious of in America is the fact that they've got that RV culture.
I would love to be able to just take a month driving around somewhere like America just in an RV so I can go in comfort and just do and see whatever I want.
Be awesome.
If you're anywhere near where we end up doing a thing in America after we're back in, bring the bus.
I want to see it.
Yeah, let us go joyriding in the bus.
I wonder if I can drive the bus.
Yeah, we can cook some meth in it.
No.
Let's go to the next one.
We really need to start framing the social justice activists for what they are.
Lame.
Most of them are these men and women who are way past their prime who just want to be so cool and hip with the young kids.
But they are lame.
Make the kids aware that these people are lame and you don't want to be lame like them.
Be like the larger seekers who are...
Less lame.
Yes!
Thanks for the compliment, I suppose.
Throughout all of that, I had the old English definition of lame in my head when she was saying it.
Oh, they just limp everywhere.
They're all disabled.
They're all lame, you know?
Well, yeah, yeah, up there.
No, she is right, though.
You said, obviously, people pass their prime, but it's amazing how a lot of these people pass their prime nowadays or also still in their early 20s.
Yeah.
Because that's just how pathetic they are.
Quickly they went down.
Yep.
But anyway, good to see you again as well.
Let's go to the next one.
I got back from my midnight errand drive from my old apartment doing some last minute cleaning before delivering the place.
And now I'm back to my new apartment.
And on the way, I discovered that Elon Musk had bought Twitter for $44 billion.
Ain't that just beautiful?
And according to the grapevine...
He announced this by just tweeting a big fat N. God, I love you one most.
I wish.
I wish to start the Twitter train.
Nothing can stop him, though.
No, they can't.
If the moderator team bans him for doing it.
Well, no, no.
Even if he didn't just post N, if he just tweeted the word out, what are people going to do?
I own him!
And what?
I brought the pass.
It was quite expensive.
I give them out to you all now, my people.
Hey, he is African-American, so I guess he's allowed.
Most successful African-American in all of, well, human history.
The next one.
You got it, brother.
Hello, sir.
Woo!
Yeah.
If you are the hot club alone, if you feel like the one without a room, Because I'm happy, I'm lonely if you feel like happiness is true.
Because I'm happy, I'm lonely if you feel like happiness is true.
Because I'm happy, I'm lonely if you feel like that's what you want to do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Uh, yeah.
Actually, if you haven't already, tweet that at Elon.
I reckon he'd enjoy it.
He'd probably see it as well.
I could probably put it on social media as well.
I was listening to Power Defense Monkey Balloons music, which is, there's like a dance remix, which is just really meme-y for this, and in my head I was just imagining, like, I need to Photoshop Musk dancing, so the fact that you've done it for me as well already, that's perfect.
So, it's great.
You're in sync.
Cody D and little Joan here.
Just wanted to take mild exception to your characterization of Italians as the author of F U I'm Italian, Why We Italians Are Awesome.
I just wanted to remind you that although we have the Cuomo brothers, we also invented the jacuzzi, the blood pressure cuff, the cappuccino machine, and radio.
Yeah, sure, we also invented fascism, but, you know, much like the Godfather 3, we ignore that.
Hey, that whole fascism thing, Tony, you know, water under the bridge.
I'll forgive you.
The country that's so bad at war just seems to win and yet lose every time.
Like, every war they win, they seem to lose at the same time.
It's like a man in a fight tripping over himself and headbutting the opponent and knocking himself out while he's at it.
We landed in Turkey, we just ended up with Rhodes.
We lost all the territory we took.
You do bring a good point, Tony, which is without Italians we wouldn't have gangster films, which are one of my favourite genres, so I've got to thank you for that one.
Just like invade Turkey after the First World War and end up losing all that territory.
First World War, you also kind of win, but yeah, lose.
And then Ethiopia, we win, but we also kind of lose.
Second World War, big lose.
Big L. And then the switch sides, so we still won, but we lost.
I play all the sides.
Masters of winning, and yet somehow coming out of it, just looking like, I don't know why I do this.
But yeah, the Italian comments, I believe there was actually someone else making the point about the Italian...
What do you call them?
Characteristics?
Stereotypes!
Yeah, stereotypes, so...
Anyway, it's good to see you.
The facts of Italians.
Let's go to the next one.
I forgot.
Oh, man.
Frozen's so close.
Jesus.
This is like that scene you showed me with the boog bars.
I'm never going to Thailand, the hell with that.
Would you eat the boogs?
We support you, but I don't support your diets.
Would you eat the boog bar?
Well, I have protein bars, which you have nicely called boog bars.
Look like boog bugs to me.
If you watch Snowpiercer, you'll get what I mean.
Basically, in Snowpiercer, it's this big train, and the whole world is frozen, and the only humans are left on this train.
And in third class, they feed them these black blocks, and it doesn't look great, and then they end up revolting, find out how the black blocks are made, and the guy looks in, and it's just a load of cockroaches and bad CGI being carved.
And he looks over, and there's all the third class passengers shoving it down their throats.
Ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure that's not how protein bars are made, although don't quote me on that, just in case.
In my mind, that's how protein bars are made, so how else do you get that much protein?
Klaus Schwab is in charge of the protein bar industry.
Yeah, he's trying to subvert the right by being like, yes, get swallowed by eating the bug bar.
Let's go to the red comments on the site.
So on the salt mining, Harry Watkinson says all the leftists are seething.
Sorry, all the leftists are seething.
See keeps pointing back to what Vosch said.
I don't care about principles.
I care about effing winning.
All of this is literally because they're losing for once.
That's true.
A mild thing.
It's just like, oh no, what if he oppresses us?
Not even.
Not even banned.
None of them banned.
No changes in policy have even been done.
And they are on suicide.
Well, given that these people all adhere to the general will, they are having to interact with those who go against the general will, which, by Rousseau's own definition, is oppressing them.
They should just change their minds as well.
Yeah, yeah, obviously.
I guess you were just wrong, Tumblr writes.
I also love how the general will is not even a vote now.
It's how much money have you got.
Hopper would be happy.
Yep.
Silly mid-on, a free Twitter under Musk being claimed as the greatest threat to the US elections is a huge self-report.
definitely is Shaker Silver says I hope that Conservative Inc doesn't go back to sleep and consider free speech fixed because of the buyouts the battle for free speech must go on it's not enough that the Babylon Bee is restored not even that Trump and MTG are restored we need the true populist dissents like Alex Jones restored I also really want to see Milo turn back up Yes.
Because, as Carl has mentioned, it's kind of true.
Him being an exile, and exiling someone from all these platforms certainly does do something to them.
It narrows the kind of people that you're able to spend time with.
Yeah, and Milo's been spending a hell of a lot of time with some strange people, and I think he's going to come back and probably just tweet the F-word or something, I don't know.
Milo's got a lovely bust of the Virgin Mary that he can sell you.
Yeah, he's got good friends in the Westboro Baraptist Church now, which is...
Hell of a switch!
You know, that's a hell of a character arc.
Don't talk to me of my boyfriend or my homophobic church ever again.
Titch Potato says, the salt must flow.
He who controls Twitter controls the salt, and he who controls the salt controls the universe.
All is mine, all mine.
Baron Elon Hark-Conomusk.
Taffy Duck says, I cannot wait for the fact-checking and misleading tweet notices to be applied to lying left-stiffed commie filth.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I don't think any of the other instruments of the cathedral are going to switch.
Just because Twitter's been brought.
Even so, I don't think that we should stoop to that.
No, because it was all dumb anyway.
It was all a thing of control.
I'd rather just have the open platform because we win every time.
It's not a risk to have the open platform to us.
We're fine with that.
We just win.
If it's down to a battle between ideas and which ones work and are more logically consistent, ours will win every time.
M1Ping says to increase the seething, Twitter should start applying for every government program imaginable as an African-American owned business.
God bless.
Alright.
Am I not a brother?
On to the climate alarmist.
So, Teach Potato says, Revenge purge for the climate tells you everything you need to know.
There's no rationalism, thought, or logic.
No understanding of how history has played out before.
They're immature children in their mid-40s.
Idiots.
Well, a lot of them are older than their mid-40s and still, yes, immature children.
Small L Libertarian.
We move for emergency services.
Yeah, but what happens when you create a traffic jam and the ambo is stuck in the jam?
Good point.
They're not going to know, are they?
Joseph Smith, Erg, here in Winnipeg, we had a particularly bad winter, and as a result, a lot of our roads have broken up, covered in massive potholes, etc.
I bet that the tree-huggers will start complaining about how this is the real impact of climate change, even though it really is because the city hasn't maintained the roads properly, and so during the winter water got into the roads and expanded and contracted repeatedly as the temperature changed.
They do the same thing when we have a thunderstorm, which is a totally normal thing, but of course these people have no idea about such things.
Very true.
From what I'm aware a lot of the sort of...
Climate alarmists like to throw out the, oh, everything's getting worse.
Look how many forest fires and blah-de-blah.
We've got so much damage being caused by this.
And a lot of that is mainly just due to the fact that there's more people in those areas to observe it now, as far as I'm aware.
And also, like, worse infrastructure in places like California.
Like, Donald Trump pointed out, well, if you want to stop the wildfires in California, maybe clean up all of, like, the branches and stuff that causes kindling for when it gets really hot.
And they just didn't.
And they were like, no!
No!
You don't understand!
I believe there was also the fact that you need some small fires to clean out the place every now and again in environments like that.
And so they started stopping those fires from naturally occurring.
So it just gets bigger and bigger.
Yeah, the problem just builds up and then they had that episode where I'm sure you remember the photos of Los Angeles looking like hell.
More so than hell.
Than usual, of course.
Free Will says, China burns coal, so why don't Extinction Rebellion start their revolution there?
Good luck with that.
Well, we've pointed out that's not going to end well for them if they gave that a try.
I mean, referring to an unspecified date, which never happened, that might happen to them.
Robert Longshore says, Before climate change, it was global warming.
Climate scientists were worried about the upcoming mini-ice age.
Yes, and they still are.
They still are, and the logic is very confusing, because the logic is if it warms up, then it will melt all of the ice caps, we will be flooded, and then due to that, we will be cold again.
So really, we were right in the first place, we just didn't know how we were right in the first place.
I haven't really understood this.
It's like going, I know that 2 plus 2 is 4, because if I take 3 plus 3 equals 6, times it by 5 gets 30, and then minus 16, I get, well, 26.
I get 9, 11.
Oh my god, I should have known.
Andrew Narog says, Watermelons, the whole lot of them.
Green on the outside, red on the inside.
Every single time.
They do hate capitalism, after all.
Ignacio Junqueira says, I'm all for ritual depopulation for the environment.
Activists first.
They must set the example.
Formal!
And let's go on to the boat people.
For people who don't know what we're mentioning with the Formal stuff, go and watch the book club we did.
Which one was it?
What was it called?
Mao's Cultural Revolution by Frank Dicotta.
We've got it right over there.
Yeah, because the Great Famine is great, but it'll...
Depressing!
But it'll make you sad.
The Cultural Revolution is just almost funny, because there's this moment, which is brilliant, where this girl just screams, For Mao!
And then just jumps out the window to her death, because she doesn't want to be captured by the anti-Maoists, who are also representing Mao, according to them.
It's very confusing.
The amount humans will confuse themselves is unbelievable.
Sweden has something to say.
Do you?
Rwanda isn't a bad place.
In fact, it's remarkable how well the...
I know, because my wife's...
I'm sorry, Sweden, but it's remarkable how well the country has done after one of the worst genocides of the 20th century.
One major reason for the genocide was forced democracy.
They now live under a prosperous Christian dictatorship that has given them the title of the Singapore of Africa in only a few decades.
If you were to be sent anywhere in Africa, Rwanda should be at the top of your wish list.
That's quite interesting, actually, because that is kind of the Hopper libertarian king sort of argument.
Like, you look over at Singapore, you go, yeah, they've got a bit of an authoritarian government, but everyone's doing well over there, everyone's pretty well off, you know?
Mr.
House legalised prostitution, what's the problem?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I wonder if Miles is bored, because I know he's had some problems.
Oh, I get a Rwanda, just film that for a laugh.
No, interestingly, I do think it would be quite interesting if we could go over to Rwanda and just interview some of the people who were sent there from England and just be like, so how's it been going then?
And they'll just be like, oh, it's been fine, it's a lovely country.
How you doing, Bob?
I'm Iranian.
Yeah.
It's funny, isn't it?
We'll just film ourselves pointing and laughing at them.
Oh, the Iranians, yeah.
Sorry, you came from a safe country, went to another safe country, and then five more, and then went, oh, this isn't fun.
Too bad.
Benjamin Charles says, since the opponents of the Rwandan plan have decided that the main point of attack will be the cost of it, I propose that the Home Office send the migrants back to France using the most economical means possible.
Trebuchet.
That'll require coordination with France for a big net to catch them.
Catch them?
Never mind!
I think it's much more humane to sense for Rwanda.
Freewell2112.
Many COE, vicars, and pastors are naive to the point of idiocy.
She was American.
She wasn't even COE, which is mad.
And student of history says, see people, we will come to Britain, Brits, alright?
And you'll get a free flight to Rwanda, bruv.
See people, literally puff off dust.
I'm not going here anymore.
Mr.
Spaniard says, it's almost like deterrence work on spineless coward chances.
Who would have thought that?
Now all that is left is to prosecute every worker that blocked changes or facilitates the entrance.
That's a fair point.
I am really annoyed how every time we have this kind of crisis.
No one ever goes to prison.
I don't even care if it's just some civil servants.
I would like to see at least half of the English and American bureaucracies be put in prison for COVID lockdowns.
Because I think they deserve it.
What are you going to give them?
Like, ten years?
Anything?
I'm okay.
Whenever I think about it, I'll just figure out.
When it comes to it, I'll let them out, you know?
When I think it's alright.
Robert Longshore says, Read the article about the Rwandan plan will fail.
The writer has basically said CCTV doesn't stop crime.
Of course it doesn't stop crime, but increases the risk of capture for criminals, thus having effect of prevention.
Yes.
And Rwanda, God bless you.
You are our CCTV. Anyways, we're out of time.
We'll end the show there.
If you'd like to get more from us, go over to LettersEast.com.
Do check out the stuff we mentioned.
And I guess go and check out the book club on Mal's Cultural Revolution as well.
And gold tier subscribers, don't forget about that call on Friday.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, I almost forgot that.
So come and join us on Friday as well.
Otherwise, see you tomorrow, 1 o'clock.
