	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eders for the 5th of May 2022.
	I'm I am joined by Carl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the Ultra Maga Agenda.
	They are already coming for Elon Musk, and yes, I am a groomer, says...
	Clip that.
	One leftist.
	I feel like I should always have the leftist part in the middle so that it can't be clipped, but oh well.
	So we'll start off with the Ultra Maga Agenda, I suppose.
	Yeah, I think that's the best way to frame it.
	Ultra MAGA agenda is a phrase that Joe Biden used, and I think it's a fantastic phrase that makes it sound awesome, that we really should be going for.
	And I just wanted to frame this around an article that Hugo wrote a while back now.
	Called How to Build a Successful Non-Left-Wing Movement.
	Because of course, that is the problem that the right has.
	It's really outflanked in almost every respect by the industriousness of left-wing activists and their forward planning.
	They've been doing this for a long time now, thinking about how they can take over.
	And they have.
	And so any successful non-left-wing movement really needs to go back to basics and actually follow their pattern, follow their game plan.
	And Hugo lays that out in this article.
	It's really, really good, worth a read.
	But anyway, so Biden appears to have coined the term ultra-maga, and I think he meant it to be like, well, this is bad, but it sounds absolutely awesome.
	Let's play the clip in it.
	That's in sharp contrast to what today's Republican Party is offering.
	And if they hadn't put this in print, you'd think I was making it up.
	Senator Rick Scott of Florida, United States Senator, who's leading the Republican National Senatorial Campaign Committee, released what he calls the ultra MAGA agenda.
	It's a MAGA agenda, all right.
	Let me tell you about this ultra MAGA agenda.
	It's extreme, as most MAGA things are.
	It will actually raise taxes on 75 million American families, over 95 percent of whom make less than $100,000 a year.
	Can you imagine the Democrats coming out and going, oh, they're going to raise your taxes?
	Yeah, look who's talking.
	But also just the fact that it's ultra-maga, oh god, that must be terrible.
	It's extreme.
	It's the Third Reich or something, they've got to raise taxes.
	I was kind of let down there.
	They're going to do what we've done.
	We'll get into this in a bit, actually.
	Anyway, so CNN put an article talking about this, and I just find this really amusing.
	He said, look, my moderate conservative Democrat policies of raising your taxes compared to their extreme ultra-magic agenda, because they think they're going to get whacked in the midterms, obviously.
	And it's interesting how this is the thing that they've taken out of this, right?
	The ultramagra agenda.
	That's all we know about it so far.
	And it's like, okay, so what?
	They're going to raise taxes, right?
	Okay, why?
	Like, are they going to do anything else?
	That's the entire ultramagra agenda, is it?
	It's going to raise your taxes, right?
	That doesn't sound like the Republicans, really.
	State of the right.
	The only idea they've got, raise taxes, I'm going to leave.
	Even if that was their only idea, how are you against this?
	And so anyway, the Democrat propaganda machine has roared into life from this, as you can imagine.
	They've taken this one line, if you can get to the next one.
	Sorry, no, the one after this, sorry.
	So you've got the Democrat propaganda organization.
	And just literally, Rick Scott and Republicans want to raise taxes on Americans.
	Really?
	That's all he cares about?
	That's all we're going to say?
	But again, with the damn logo next to him.
	Sorry, are you the party of low taxes now?
	I mean, I... We're all drowning in low taxes.
	The problem with America is the taxes are just too damn low.
	Anyway, so this comes, and it took me a long time to actually find out what the hell they were talking about because of the way this is laid.
	Again, you don't know what the actual proposal is called yet.
	Like, none of the reporting has actually mentioned it yet.
	That's a title, Ultramag is not bad.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's why that has been the thing that stuck.
	And to be honest with you, I'm kind of glad it did, because it's incredibly mimetic.
	But anyway, so they say in here, one week ago, Florida Senator and National Republican Senator Committee Chair Rick Scott rolled out Republicans' plan, which calls for raising income taxes for over half of Americans.
	And that's it.
	All the information you need.
	What's the plan called so I can go look it up myself, please?
	And apparently a new study has confirmed the Republican plan would actually raise taxes on middle-income households by an average of $450.
	Excuse me, that sounds terrible.
	I mean, in stark contrast with President Biden and the Democrats who are fighting to lower costs for families.
	Just terrible.
	And so they link to something...
	Sorry, can we just wait for a minute?
	Does anyone take that seriously?
	No, of course not.
	I mean, it's just such utterly delusional Clamwell backwardsness.
	So they link something here called the Tax Policy Centre with that Scott's skin-in-the-game plan could raise taxes by $100 billion in 2022.
	It's like, what...
	What the hell are you talking about?
	Okay, so let's go on to the next one, right?
	So this is the Brookings Institute have done this.
	So, of course, it's left-wing propaganda, as you might imagine.
	And I love the framing of this.
	Again, when I was researching this, I was just like, okay, I have no idea what the plan is.
	And so finally, we get to a link to the plan, right?
	And they've got this quote.
	The 11-point plan to rescue America includes all Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount.
	Currently, over half Americans pay no income tax.
	And so the tax policy center decided, right, we're just going to make up some numbers then.
	That's fair.
	That's how this works.
	The Tax Policy Centre estimates that achieving Scott's goal could increase federal income taxes by more than $100 billion in 2022.
	I would have thought they would have been totally in favour of that, frankly.
	More than 80% of the tax increase would be paid by households making $54,000 or less, and 97% being paid by those making less than $100,000.
	Ooh, that sounds terrible.
	If you're making $54,000, surely you're paying income tax.
	Apparently not.
	What?
	Fun to them.
	I mean, I don't know.
	They are literally making up the numbers, right?
	Because this is the next paragraph.
	Because Scott has not said how his plan would work.
	We've written one for him.
	Yes, that's exactly right.
	TPC analyzed a simple version consistent with this idea, which would create a minimum tax of $100 for unmarried filers.
	So you've just made up a number for him.
	Yeah, and so extrapolating from this, look at that, he's taxing black people!
	What?
	You just made this up!
	But thankfully, they actually did link to his 11-point Ultra MAGA agenda.
	So I thought we'd actually go through it, see if it's actually any good, and whether it makes any sense.
	Instead of just making up the news and writing ourselves.
	And then giving it to the president to read.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because there's no way Joe Biden read any of this.
	He doesn't know what's going on.
	Oh, God.
	Can you imagine going to your desk and being like, I'm just going to make something up today.
	I mean, literally...
	Look at you what they did.
	It's made up some numbers.
	Anyway, so the 11-point MAGA Ultra MAGA plan is, number one, education.
	And this is not hard to disagree, hard to agree with.
	Our kids will say the Pledge of Allegiance, salute the flag, and learn that America is a great country and will choose the school that best fits them.
	We will inspire patriotism and stop teaching the revisionist history of the radical left.
	Our kids will learn about the wisdom of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Founding Fathers.
	Public schools will focus on the three R's, not indoctrinate children with critical race theory or any other political ideology.
	Yeah?
	I mean, indoctrinate them with American political ideology.
	I mean, you are America.
	It's kind of what we expect you to do.
	Seems sane.
	Like religions and all that.
	That's fine.
	I don't see why any American would disagree with that.
	Number two is colorblind equality.
	You see where this is going?
	I'm not going to be telling the white kids they're bad because they're white, or the black kids that they're oppressed because they're black.
	Government will never again ask American citizens to disclose their race, ethnicity, or skin colour, or any government form.
	If that's what you wanted, if you want a race-neutral society, that's how you'd get it.
	And this is the thing that is upsetting to them?
	Yes, the critical racers are furious about this.
	All of these things, but this one would be particularly upsetting, or at least coping and seething for those.
	We are going to eliminate racial politics in America.
	No government policy will be based on race.
	Radical racist white supremacist thinking from the Republican Party once again.
	Ultramaga strikes once more.
	What if we weren't racist?
	That's a radical idea.
	We can't know.
	People will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.
	Some white supremacist said that.
	Anyway, number three, safety and crime.
	The soft on crime days of coddling and criminal behavior will end.
	California's just like, look, it's working so well for us.
	What are you talking about?
	Ultra MAGA guys want to stop the shoplifters from just walking out with the goods.
	They're not in favour of just random gun battles in the street.
	It's crazy.
	We will refund and respect...
	These are just extreme policies.
	We will refund and respect the police because they are not the criminals, they are the good guys.
	We will enforce our laws, all of them.
	This is just an unbelievable agenda.
	And increase the penalties for theft and violent crime.
	Okay, we will clean up our cities and stop pretending that crime is okay.
	We'll have zero tolerance for mostly peaceful protests that attack police officers, loot businesses and burn down our cities.
	I love how he actually uses mostly peaceful protests.
	Number four, immigration.
	We will secure our border, finish building the wall and name it after President Donald Trump.
	The Great Wall of Trump on the southern border.
	Love it.
	Love everything about it.
	Have it in glowing neon lights.
	That would be the best and most American way of doing it.
	With, obviously, American flags.
	Nations have borders.
	We should give that a try.
	Yeah.
	Trump's plan to build a wall was right.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	And, yeah, agree.
	So, number five.
	Growth slash economy.
	We will grow America's economy, starve Washington's economy, and stop socialism.
	Socialism is un-American and it always leads to poverty and oppression.
	Anything to disagree with here?
	Nope.
	We will stop it.
	We will shrink federal government, reduce the government workforce by 25% in five years, sell government buildings and assets, and get rid of the old, slow, closed-down, top-down, government-run everything system we have today.
	Brilliant idea.
	I also just found one the other day.
	I was looking through Walt Disney's history on communism, and there's him giving evidence before the Committee on Un-American Activities, which he just says, yes, well, communism is un-American, and I should employ no communists in my company.
	Compare that to today's Disney as well.
	Well, look how subverted Disney is.
	But I mean, it's an intrinsic philosophical truth that socialism is un-American.
	100%.
	America being founded on the concept of private property rights.
	I think actually the quote is, do you have any communist or fascists working for you?
	And he says, no, the people who work for me are all American.
	And that's great framing.
	Anyway, number six is government reform and debt.
	We will eliminate all federal programs that can be done locally and enact term limits for federal bureaucrats in Congress.
	That's a good idea.
	Term limits for federal bureaucrats?
	I'd love to have civil servant term limits.
	Wouldn't that be useful?
	It would.
	Interesting.
	Many government agencies should be either moved out of Washington or shuttered entirely.
	I love the way this is going.
	Yesterday's old government is fundamentally incompatible with the digital era.
	The permanent ruling class in Washington is bankrupting us with inflation and debt, so they must be removed.
	Clear them out!
	Yeah, exactly!
	That's just such a fantastic summary of it.
	Number seven is fair and fraud-free elections.
	I actually didn't think I can read this out on YouTube.
	No, he has said these things.
	I think that's about as much as we can do.
	Yes, he has said that we will, quote, protect the integrity of American democracy and stop left-wing efforts to rig elections.
	right wing efforts apparently okay I think just any efforts to rig elections is something we can No, he's very much on it.
	He's got a night job.
	Very much the Overton window shifting back here.
	Bit of repressive tolerance.
	Anyway, obviously everyone's in favour of...
	8.
	Family.
	We will protect, defend and promote the American family at all costs.
	The nuclear family is crucial to civilization.
	It is God's design for humanity and must be protected and celebrated.
	Say otherwise is to deny science.
	The fanatical left seeks to devalue and redefine the traditional family as they undermine parents and attempt to replace them with government programs.
	We will not allow socialism to place the needs of the state ahead of the family.
	That's fine.
	I'm happy with that.
	Could have been harder, actually.
	But anyway, moving on.
	Number nine.
	Gender, life, and science.
	Men are men, women are women, and unborn babies are babies.
	We believe in science.
	Men and women are biologically different.
	And then they give us a quote from the Bible.
	Male and female...
	I love the religious.
	As someone who isn't one, they're all wonderful.
	And in the Bible, in the Quran, you've got, you know, God made a man and a woman.
	I don't think we need to appeal to the holy books to be able to make this point.
	No, me either.
	Male and female, he created them.
	Anyway, modern technology is confirmed, but abortion takes human life.
	Do we need modern technology to confirm that?
	Again, yeah.
	Also, what a sign of the times.
	Like, I was reading Anne-Marie Waters' manifesto the other day for Britain, and they just have a huge section on transgenderism.
	And she's like, could you imagine going back 10 years and saying, yeah, I want to insert this into a party manifesto?
	It would look mad.
	People would just think you're weird.
	But no, it's actually needed now as well.
	This is where we are.
	But of course, you know, this is the stock Republican position on abortion and gender.
	Anyway, number 10 is religious liberty and big tech.
	Americans will be free to welcome God into all aspects of our lives.
	We will stop government efforts to deny our religious freedom and freedom of speech.
	Muslims of America are thrilled, I'm sure.
	The Democrat Party and their big tech allies?
	Well, they didn't say which god, did they?
	You know?
	The Democrat Party and their big tech allies are not merely secular.
	They have virtually created a new religion of wokeness that is increasingly hostile towards people of faith, particularly Christians and Jews.
	They are determined to drive all mention of God out of public view and will not be silence cancelled or told what words to use by the politically correct crowd.
	I mean...
	I'm not particularly for theocracy, but I am for telling the woke to get pissed.
	Well, I'm against suppressing them.
	You can see, I mean, with people like Ryan Hartwick, who give you whistleblowing aspects of Facebook's moderation, you can see they do have an active hatred of Christianity and any Western philosophy.
	Whereas when it comes to, say, Islam, the barriers aren't as tight on what is censored.
	Assuming there even are barriers.
	Anyway, number 11 is America first.
	We are Americans, not globalists.
	America will be dependent on no other country.
	We will conduct no trade that takes away jobs or displaces American workers.
	Countries who oppose us at the UN will get zero financial help from us.
	We'll be energy independent and build supply chains that will never rely on our adversaries.
	We will only help countries that are willing to defend themselves like Israel.
	They had to, didn't they?
	They had to, yeah.
	Isn't that amusing?
	Although I do like the if the countries don't support us at the UN, then we're just not giving them money, because very often there'll be UN votes in which the US and Israel are the only ones voting with each other because of their relationship, in which case they just stop throwing money at the rest of the world for no reason, which will be good.
	I'll teach them a lesson.
	Anyway, so the claims on tax raising come from 0.5 on the economy.
	I think if we actually explore this slightly, we don't even need to put numbers to it to understand that people are going to pay fewer taxes.
	Because, of course, taxes are what pays for the government.
	And if you've got a massive, bloated government, then you've got to pay loads and loads of taxes.
	So the Democrat claim is probably going to be false.
	Anyway, so of course this is framed around socialism being un-American.
	We will stop it.
	We will shrink the federal government and reduce the government workforce 25% in five years.
	Socialism will be treated as a foreign combatant.
	Heavily based.
	Love it!
	Which aims to destroy our prosperity and freedom.
	That's true.
	Other essential core functions.
	Government should not be doing anything the private sector can do better and cheaper.
	We will apply the do-it-better test if American businesses can serve the American people better and cheaper than the government and the work goes to them.
	Sorry, just the wording made me laugh.
	It's like, what if we could just do good instead of this?
	The do-gooder bill.
	I like this though.
	No government assistance unless you are disabled or aggressively seeking work.
	If you can work but refuse to work, you cannot live off the hard work and sweat to be frail at Americans.
	Which is something completely anathema to Joe Biden.
	We will require truth in governing.
	If government passes a law that does not achieve what it promised, the program will be shut down.
	We'll balance the federal budget.
	It can be done.
	States do it all the time.
	If Congress does not pass a budget, the members of Congress do not get paid.
	Full stop.
	I'm loving where this is going.
	That's gold.
	Yeah, these are a lot of meme suggestions that have come off the internet.
	They're making it into this plan.
	But they're also just hugely true.
	It's just that when there's shutdowns, all the congressmen still get paid.
	No, they shouldn't be getting paid either.
	In fact, they shouldn't even get it back after the government reopens.
	Should have been for the federal, the COVID lockdowns as well.
	It's like, okay, you're locking down businesses, right?
	I'm going to get paid for a while, I guess.
	Anyway, eliminate truly non-essential government employee positions because they are non-essential.
	Good.
	I like that reasoning.
	Non-essential, that means gone.
	Implement a line item veto.
	It works in state capitals.
	It will work in Washington.
	Expedite all federal permit applications to be granted or denied within 30 days.
	Prohibit debt ceiling increases absent a declaration of war.
	Wow, this is a very aggressive economic policy.
	It's going to really ruin the expensive power of the federal government.
	And finally, and this is the part, out of all of this, this is the part that Biden's like, oh, they're going to raise your taxes.
	All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount.
	Currently, half Americans pay no income tax.
	And so this is the contentious issue that's been blown out of all proportion because, yes, you may, oh no, I have to pay $100 income tax.
	Yes, but everyone's taxes are going to go down if there are fewer and fewer things to pay for.
	That's what he said.
	Everything's better off.
	Yes.
	So...
	I mean, I'm not...
	I can see both sides of the tax argument on whether or not people on such a low income should pay any, because it's easier to just do a threshold.
	There probably would be a threshold.
	But he's saying no.
	He's saying no.
	You've got to have skin in the game.
	They won't get Thatcher position, which is that even if you're just paying a pound, at least you understand the process, and it's not just something that you never think about instead.
	So there's a psychological aspect to it as well.
	Yeah.
	But I mean, if there's just fewer things to pay for, then less tax will have to be paid.
	So the Democrats being, like, hyperbolic about this?
	Well, understandably.
	It seems to be a misrepresentation.
	Well, yes, because you can see the tagline.
	Stop socialism, full stop.
	And the Dems are sweating bullets.
	I love the Starve Washington's economy as well.
	That's exactly right.
	Yeah, Starve Washington.
	This is, don't feed the beast.
	But yeah, so basically what I'm saying is the ultra-magic agenda looks awesome.
	Thanks to Joe Biden for promoting it.
	That's good to know.
	I love how you have, you know, Dark Maga, Ultra Maga.
	Ultra Dark Maga is going to be fun.
	We shall move on to Elon.
	So, they are already coming for Elon Musk.
	I remember we did a lot of segments on Elon and his purchasing power.
	And the fact that, well, the prediction was that all of the left-wing apparatus are going to immediately come for him and try and smear him endlessly.
	And I thought we'd start off with just some memes because I enjoy them.
	So we'll start with this one.
	Of course, being Elon making the point, the elites don't want you to know this, but Twitter is a public company.
	You can buy it.
	I have 700 million, sorry, 700,000 shares.
	No, 700 million shares.
	You have a billion shares.
	Why not?
	If you own the whole thing, just keep doubling it until you want it.
	So anyway, we'll move forward because he's also just having fun, as you can see with CatTurd.
	That's a real account.
	I've seen it before, I wasn't too familiar.
	Yeah, it's a pro-Republican parody or meme account, basically, isn't it?
	Yeah, so CatTurd here says, Twitter is back to shadow banning and removing followers of conservative accounts, in case you're wondering, Elon.
	And Elon responds, saw you trending as Twitter CEO. So, cool.
	We keep going, we can see CatTurd seems to be a very good boy as well.
	Reporting here, a lady who's out protesting about abortion, saying, I wish my mum had aborted me.
	Same here.
	Let's go to the next one, so we can also see some good memes about CatTurd.
	I thought we'd enjoy.
	Let's play this one.
	Makes you think you can decide to put a cat in charge of Twitter.
	I shall answer that, sir, if I may.
	Master Elon purchased the remaining shares of Twitter this morning, and he would rather have a cat rat, he thinks, than a nest of bloody snakes.
	Didn't you get the memo?
	Part of me actually thinks Elon might do that.
	That'd be good.
	He might actually make a position and just put a horse in charge, like Rome.
	What, like Caligula?
	Yeah, here's my new chief executive officer.
	There you are.
	There's the new head of diversity and it's a beaver.
	Just to have fun.
	And we can see some of this in the fact that he's continued his crusade.
	I suppose he's taken his mask off a little bit more and just been like, hey, yeah, the left are terrible.
	Here's a tweet from him saying that.
	The far left hates everyone, themselves included.
	I mean, literally, the girl was like, I wish my mum had aborted.
	Yeah.
	How much more self-hatred can you get?
	That's just so awful.
	That's just so unbelievably awful that your child...
	I'm left-wing and worthless.
	We know.
	What a failure as a parent you are if your child has actually got to that point.
	But he also couches this with a statement there saying, but I'm no fan of the far right either.
	Let's have less hate and more love.
	Which, this is why I'm a little bit, I don't know.
	He has to say that, because everyone's going to be like, oh, you're a fascist then.
	But will the attacks have an impact?
	And we can see some of the attacks coming in.
	Because if we go to the next one here, we can have the fact that the British Parliament is inviting him to come and be grilled.
	Why would he do that?
	Why on earth would he indeed?
	There's just no point.
	So Julian Knight, the chairman of the Digital Culture and Media and Sport Committee, has invited the billionaire boss to London to be grilled over his takeover.
	MPs want to interrogate him over his plans for the site, including how he proposed to balance free speech with protecting users from online harms.
	Mr.
	Knight said the committee was keen to learn more about how Mr.
	Musk will balance his commitments with the new obligations to protect Twitter users from online harm.
	This because Britain has run like a nanny state half the time.
	Yeah.
	And this is one of them.
	It's just like, but don't you know the Twitter users?
	I mean, I hope he just tweets out, I'm not, go away.
	And if you don't like it, ban Twitter.
	Go for it.
	Yeah.
	I mean, banning Twitter would be a net good for our country, so do it.
	Also fix the MPs.
	Yeah.
	He also says appearing before the committee will give Mr.
	Musk the ideal opportunity to set out his proposals for Twitter in more depth and we would look forward to welcoming him.
	As if he needs a platform.
	I literally brought a platform for 35 billion or whatever it is.
	But do you want to go for the parliament and give a platform there?
	Do you want to be grilled by a bunch of Labour MPs in parliament, Elon?
	I mean, only if you didn't take it seriously, I suppose.
	Although he does have some proposals, as they say, the committee has noted your proposed acquisition of Twitter and we are interested in the developments you propose.
	In particular, your intention to roll out verification for all users echoes our calls on the UK government as part of proposed legislation, which we hope will restore UK's public trust.
	Yeah.
	It should just be a verified badge because you are who you say you are.
	Whereas the UK government wants it to be instead that they can control every aspect of your online life.
	And if you dare leak anything that makes government look bad, they want to know.
	But if we keep going, we can also see the attacks coming in all of a sudden, as Elon notes here, a bunch of brands came together.
	Who controls the media, Elon?
	A bunch of nobodies came together and insisted that he implement essentially hate speech policies and continue to run Twitter as a left-wing echo chamber.
	Or what?
	You're not going to use Twitter?
	You're the one who's addicted to it.
	This is all he's got to do.
	All he's got to do is go, no.
	Yeah.
	Nothing they can do.
	That's why I'm hoping he keeps strong.
	And you can see here, he decides to respond with, who funds these organizations that they want to control your access to information?
	Let's investigate.
	Well, if we move to the next one, we can see Disco's DP telling us it's George Soros, Clinton Obama staffers, and the European Union governments behind the anti-Musk campaign.
	Ah, the mysterious they that Tucker Carlson keeps referring to.
	I love that.
	Did you see our segment on it?
	Yes, I did watch your segment.
	It was very good.
	There's that bit where they load up all the pictures.
	They keep saying they.
	Who's they?
	These people are they.
	Yes, those people.
	Here's the 50 people.
	Their names, their addresses.
	Okay, New York Times.
	So here's more of the they, as you can see.
	Clinton, Obama, staffers, and George Soros, and the European Union governments.
	Because, of course, they are.
	What's there behind trying to shut down Elon Musk?
	You can see the Daily Mail reporting on this, which is the fact that a group of 26 activist organizations and non-governmental organizations signed a letter to companies who advertise on Twitter, warning them to reconsider if Elon makes changes.
	So they're very...
	Warning them to reconsider.
	So it's a threat.
	So, Coca-Cola wants to sell sugar water, so makes advert on Twitter.
	And then random nobody front groups turn up and say, you better stop.
	Well, they're not nobodies, they're the elites.
	I know, but it's a front group, that's the thing.
	It's not a direct, it's just, this is a warning from me, who's a happy nobody.
	But, you know who's behind me?
	Yeah, you do.
	It is the elites instead, as well.
	The letter writes that Musk will further toxify our information ecosphere...
	Good.
	And be a direct threat to public safety.
	He's out on the streets stalking women.
	How is Twitter anything to do with public safety?
	Means nothing whatsoever.
	Oh no.
	I was cyberbullied on the Twitter.
	I was called an S-word.
	Musk replied, wanting to know who was behind the 26 groups, saying that sunlight is the best disinfectant.
	That's very true.
	I love it.
	It's all the right little phrases.
	You can see where he's coming from.
	Oh, look at that.
	Sorry?
	Sorry, go down a bit on that.
	Black Lives Matter Global Foundation, Centre for Countering Digital Hate, GLAAD. Oh, look at this.
	Just come on.
	The rest of them being funded by wealthy Democrat donors and their family foundations, labour unions and the governments of the European Union.
	Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter will further detoxify our ecosystem and it will also bring a threat to public safety, especially among those who are most vulnerable and marginalised.
	Media Matters for America at number 15.
	Hmm.
	They also warned that advertising on Twitter would see their company risks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, and health misinformation and conspiracy theorists.
	On the plus side, though, the platform's doubtless going to grow and you'll make more money.
	Choose wisely.
	That's the thing, though.
	You can obviously see this is the power dynamics behind the smoke and mirrors that is these front organizations.
	What are these names?
	Delete them.
	Just write Cathedral.
	That's all they are.
	And as you can see, they have gone directly to the people spending money on advertisements and said, this is a threat.
	This is a polite warning.
	Stop, or else.
	And, well, what's the or else?
	It's not that they're going to take Twitter down, but they're going to go after the people who continue.
	I wonder if Elon's going to take MyPillow adverts instead.
	He should.
	He should also unban the guy.
	That's code POSO for MyPillow.com.
	We're not funded.
	I don't get a share of that.
	It's a POSO code, but I just think it's funny.
	Have you seen our POSO? Occasionally he'll just write the word pillow, and that's it.
	That's his advertising done for the day.
	They say your ad dollars can either fund Musk's vanity project...
	If it's a vanity project.
	Or hold him to account.
	We would call on you to demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety and to pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.
	So Elon Musk has to make sure that Twitter is a left-wing propaganda outlet or else we will bully you into pulling out your advertising.
	They can't bully him directly, so they've started bullying all the advertisers to try and hurt him that way.
	This is what I mean.
	This is what they did with GB News.
	But it's the same tactic.
	But this is what I mean by I'm a little bit worried.
	I'm not saying he's secretly a commie.
	No, of course not.
	But the worry is that the pressure might get to him over time, because they've got a lot of tools, as you can see.
	It's a huge, huge cathedral of activists.
	And Front Organizations, as you mentioned, that list there.
	I mean, some of them I'm just going to read.
	So Black Lives Matter Foundation Organization, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, the Gender Equity Policy Institute.
	Just Communist Organizations.
	Stop Online Violence Against Women, Inc.
	That's the funniest one.
	You know, Conservative, Inc.
	Like, it's a joke that you're just conservative for the money.
	Stop Violence Against Women, Inc., What I love about this is online violence.
	It doesn't exist.
	Carry on.
	It's not a thing.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	It's just a global project against hate and extremism.
	It's good that you're against hate.
	I thought you were for hate.
	Global project for hate.
	You oppose us, you must be pro-hate.
	And if you ask the next link, we can see, I'll do a shill here for a book club I did with you, which is about active measures, as you can see here, Thomas Ryds.
	And the reason I mention this is it is very poignant to this, because all of those are front organizations, as you can see, for the cathedral and its, you know, given people, the mysterious they, who we can all name, such as George Soros and Hillary Clinton and Obama.
	And if we get to the next one, we can see an example of this.
	This is the Generals for Peace, which the Stasi set up.
	As a front organization for peace, of course.
	And this is just one of a myriad of ridiculously stupid front organizations for the Soviet Union that were taking place at the time.
	And it's exactly the same tactics, which is just that, you know, here's our front organizations who are against hate.
	Yeah.
	We're just for peace.
	And the funny thing was, back in the day, the generals for peace weren't given the time of day.
	Why would they be?
	Everyone in NATO was just like, well, that's obviously Soviet propaganda.
	Yeah.
	Not engaging in that.
	Whereas this Democrat, like, alliance, obviously Soviet propaganda, and everyone's like, ooh.
	Like, these socialist front organizations, and people are like, well, we've got to take them seriously.
	No, no, we shouldn't.
	If we go back to the list, we can see in here as well, they say, well, they will give us some examples, and I thought we'd just go through them, just take a look at the kind of people who are directly attacking Elon.
	Accountable Tech is a Washington, D.C.-based group led by Nicole Gill, a political campaigner and founder of the 2017 Tax March.
	And Jesse Lirich, a former foreign policy spokesman for Hillary Clinton's campaign and nephew of David Axelrod, former senior advisor to Barack Obama.
	Again, completely...
	Defund Washington, man.
	Yeah, the Washington economy.
	It's a great term.
	I mean, as you can see, these people just sit around in cash.
	They say social media giants are eroding our consensus reality...
	What?
	...and pushing democracy to the brink on their website.
	I mean, yeah, they are.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Elon taking over Twitter and purging it of the extreme leftists so it is a free place for everyone to speak instead of being tightly controlled.
	Our left-wing consensus reality is being eroded if Elon Musk takes a part of that away.
	I mean, yeah, but we didn't think you'd just say it.
	Like, Chad, yes, thank you for saying it.
	I mean, this is why I want to go over their direct words here.
	They say accountability tech is fighting back to keep their consensus reality.
	To keep the propaganda clown world going.
	That's the whole reason for existing.
	Founded in May 2020, the group is a 501c4, which means it does not have to disclose its donor list, and does not have to say on its website who funds it.
	Very interesting.
	Very handy, isn't it?
	Lots of dark money there.
	Media Matters for America, David Brock, founder and chairman there.
	Tim Paul has, I believe, said he was there for the founding of this, and they just openly said we're going to be a propaganda outlet for the Dems.
	Well, I mean, that's all they do.
	So even if they didn't say that, you wouldn't be able to infer anything else from it.
	Yeah, not going to spend too much time on this one.
	It's literally like they said it at the founding of the organization.
	Described by Polisco as the Democrats a tag dog.
	I mean, that's a generous way of describing it.
	Yeah.
	Media Matter is funded by a coalition of donors, including the National Education Association, America's largest union, representing teachers and other school staff.
	Fantastic, so the groom isn't chief.
	And several Jewish groups, such as the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston and the Community Foundation of the United Jewish Federation of San Diego.
	Don't know what that's all about, but I imagine Ben Shapiro has some things to say about that.
	There's also Ultra-Violent...
	Sorry, Ultra-Violent...
	I didn't just slip of the tongue there.
	I'm sure they would never endorse violence.
	Ultraviolet is a powerful and rapidly growing community of people mobilized to fight sexism and create a more inclusive world that would accurately represent all women, from politics and government to media and pop culture.
	What's the point in that?
	Just as a written statement.
	Could you get any more of a front organization?
	I don't know, but I'm just naturally in opposition to this.
	We want more women in pop culture.
	What?
	If only women could go into pop culture.
	I know they've been kept out.
	I know WAP was never made.
	And the world's been far worse off.
	WAP was the entry of women into pop culture.
	There's your achievement, Ultraviolet.
	So, the group is also backed by several unions, of course they are, among the American Federation of Labor, Congress of Industrial Organizations, and the American Federation of Teachers.
	Musk is famously anti-union and has been excluded from the White House electronic vehicle manufacturing events due to the fact that Tesla's workforce is not unionized.
	Ultraviolet, backed by numerous family foundations also, including that founded by Warren Buffett's son, Peter, Novo Foundation.
	So, Novo described themselves as helping marginalize in the press groups of society.
	The good thing about this is, it literally is the elites declaring their colors.
	Like, this is...
	Name by name.
	Yeah, rank by rank.
	You know, these are all of the people that are the problem.
	This is just their generals for peace.
	There are 26 organisations here, just open-front Stasi groups.
	It's magnificent, actually.
	But of course, it's all public, because we live in a...
	Yeah, but normally it's difficult to draw this information together and say, look, these are provably working together for a particular political end.
	And Elon Musk, again, has done many favours for us in this culture war, I suppose.
	But this is one of the best ones, so we can know exactly who's ranged in what way.
	Exactly.
	And you notice how he's not part of it either.
	Him and Bill Gates really don't get along because of the fact that Bill Gates is still shorting Tesla.
	And Elon Musk was like, bye then.
	Go to hell, fatso.
	There's also FairVoteUK.
	This is a weird one.
	They declare all donations over £500, because you have to in the UK, and only confirm five such donations on their site.
	Right, so a completely pointless front organisation, again.
	Centre for Countering Digital Hate, led by a former...
	Sorry, that's such a token donation.
	It's like, we want to be part of the cool club, but we're only going to give you, what, two and a half grand.
	Yeah, but also, again, obviously just a front, not really doing anything.
	So there's also got the Centre for Digital Hate, led by a former advisor.
	I think it's the Centre for Countering Digital Hate.
	I'm not going to say that.
	Centre for Digital Hate, I think it's called 4chan.
	Well, it's led by a former Labour Party advisor, Imran Ahmed.
	So I think his views on hate about the Jews and Islam's views on the Jews, that's why I think maybe he might be the digital centre of hate.
	We'll find out.
	He may get along with 4chan quite well.
	Although they say they're best known for working with Rachel Riley to remove controversial far-right commentators like Katie Hopkins, David Icke from Facebook and YouTube.
	What did David Icke do?
	Lizard people?
	Well, yeah, that's my point.
	It's like, what, is he racist against the lizard people?
	Well, he exposed them, didn't he?
	I enjoy lots of conspiracy theories.
	And I don't enjoy David Icke, because David Icke's conspiracy theories are so divorced from reality, I'm just like, I can't pretend to believe that.
	Exactly.
	And so to say, oh, David Icke's the problem.
	No, he's really not.
	He's the caricature.
	No.
	But also the fact that they are bragging that they are professional censors of dissidents as well.
	There's also Access Now, which is just European Union government's front organisation here, where they're all funding it here.
	They also say their largest donor, according to their last report, is the Swedish government's development agency, SIDA, followed by the Soros Open Society Foundation.
	Of course.
	The other government's funding it is Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands as well.
	Apparently also the Canadians, out of nowhere, decided they'd do it.
	All wanted to interfere with a private American company.
	Yeah, all of a sudden.
	I mean, again, it's good that we know now.
	We can directly point.
	Again, it is beautiful that you just have all the names.
	We also have Elon's response to this, which is, well, come on then.
	Bring it on.
	Let's go to the next link here so you can see him responding.
	Hey, George Soros, please side into my DMs here.
	Just go for it.
	Let's have a chat.
	Let's have a conversation about where else your money is.
	Find out.
	We also go to the next one, which is the old tweet that a lot of people brought up.
	Elon saying, who do you think owns the press?
	Well, I mean, Jeff Bezos.
	Exactly.
	Directly there as well.
	If we continue as well, we can also see him getting attacked by the media.
	Oh, maybe Hassan.
	It's not just all the front organisations.
	You also have the open organisations here for the establishment.
	The Islamo-leftist on MSNBC. Yeah, he went with Elon Musk's not-so-bright billionaire, casually brought one of the world's most influential messaging machines and just handed it to the far right.
	Far right being Mehdi here, that's the thing.
	Because for American viewers who may not know, I don't know how he has a show in America over here.
	He was a journalist, and then he became an international joke in the UK, because there was tape released of him calling all non-believers cows and animals.
	Including the Jews, of course, as well.
	Well, that's the thing.
	When I say Islamo-leftist, I'm not using that flippantly.
	He is radical far-left as a cover for deeply held conservative Islamic beliefs.
	Absolutely.
	If we go to the next one, there's also the very famous interaction he had with Richard Dawkins.
	He believed in a winged horse that flew Muhammad to heaven.
	He thought that was genuinely real, so he openly believed it.
	Dawkins was shocked because he was like, so are you saying you believe that Muhammad flew up to heaven on a winged horse?
	He's like, yeah.
	Well, he even says, I give you the courtesy of thinking that you don't.
	No, I believe that.
	What?
	We're on camera, mate.
	And if we go to the next one, we have, in case people don't know about the winged horse, there's an Islamic sculpture of it.
	I don't know why it's got a human face.
	Yeah, it's a centaur for people listening, except it has ducks for feet and a weird, like, I don't know, Indian t-boy face with a turban on and four wings, which you can look up for other artists' interpretations of the ruler's comical, frankly, and Mehdi honestly believes that's real.
	It's not a joke.
	And the Muhammad flew to heaven on it.
	Yeah, I love how in American society, though, people will laugh.
	Someone will say, oh, I genuinely believe that Noah built an ark and all the animals 10,000 years ago or whatever.
	And people just laugh because, you know, whatever.
	But to say that you believe in duck-shoe-winged horsemen...
	Let's give him the credit.
	A guy builds a big boat and brings lots of animals onto it because there's a flood.
	That's way more plausible than this!
	Also, I think the ark's meant to be based on, like, the river in Iraq getting flooded.
	Probably, yeah.
	It's meant to be an exaggeration of that story.
	Or flooding the Black Sea or something.
	Yeah, but it's just the...
	Whereas duck-shoed horseman being real and flying around...
	I just feel bad for Mehdi Hassan that on stage he had to publicly commit to this.
	It's like, well, yeah, I do believe that.
	It's like, do you?
	Jesus Christ.
	In your heart of hearts.
	Let's go to the next one because we can also see Elon's response to this, which is, huh, Mehdi Hassan, the same organisation that covered up Hunter Biden's laptop story, had Harvey Weinstein's story early but killed it, and built Matt Laurier his rape office.
	Lovely people.
	Shit.
	That's a hell of a put down.
	Just Elon Musk is coming up with the big guns.
	Yeah, not even going to hold bars.
	So if we go to the next one as well, we have some other bad news for NBC. As NBC calls Elon Musk a danger, their news director was busted trying to meet a child for sex.
	Surprise.
	Literally the day after as well.
	I am shook.
	Bear this story in mind, it'll be important for the next segment.
	Yeah, and we'll go for the last link here, which is just to mention, as Razorfish beautifully did here, George Soros funding everything as a meme.
	Neat.
	Who paid you to say that?
	George Soros.
	Nobody.
	Yeah, every time, every goddamn time, we'll look into who's behind the cathedral.
	We can name them, and his name pops up all the time, but so do.
	Well, that's because the Open Society Foundation funds everything.
	Yeah, but so do the Clintons, so do the Obamas, so does Bill Gates.
	Like, every single time, these people just throw around their money funding leftist organizations instead of spending it on good memes, like Elon here.
	I mean, you could start funding right-wing organizations, Elon, just saying.
	Nothing's stopping you.
	Otherwise, that is the news, and it's good to see him having fun, but I hope the pressure doesn't get to him.
	I guess we'll see.
	He seems to be enjoying himself, though.
	He seems to be like Trump.
	He enjoys the fight.
	George, DM me.
	That's for chat.
	Yeah, I know.
	You've got to have that kind of spirit for this game, I'm afraid.
	Anyway, so...
	There is a consistent pattern with every piece of activism that the left does.
	It begins with, that's not happening.
	Don't be stupid.
	You're a liar.
	That's definitely not happening.
	Well, everyone does it.
	Stop complaining about it.
	And yes, we are doing it, and that's why it's a good thing.
	It's a consistent pattern.
	And we have arrived at the...
	You were grooming?
	No, we're not grooming.
	Yes, you are.
	Oh, everyone grooms.
	You're still grooming?
	Yeah, well, it's good to be a groomer.
	We've arrived at the position now where people on the left, the sort of, the vanguard of the activist left are like, yeah, well, maybe grooming's a good thing.
	Anyway...
	I've seen the statement.
	I know what's coming.
	Yeah.
	So, for anyone who doesn't know, we've been covering this on Lotancies.com, and you can go and support us and check out our premium content, such as What the Leftists Are Actually Teaching Your Children in Schools, the sort of thing that we can't really put on YouTube.
	Obviously, they're priming them to be debauched by this.
	Anyway, so let's begin with the definition of what a groomer is, because, I mean, just go to the Oxford English Dictionary, if that's a legitimate source on definitions of things.
	There are two, obviously.
	The first one is the things you do to keep your clothes and hair neat and clean, or keep an animal's fur or hair clean.
	So, yeah, that's one definition, but not the one that we're really talking about when we call the left groomers, is it?
	The second one is the process in which an adult develops a friendship with a child, particularly through the internet, with the intention of having an illegal sexual relationship.
	They're not saying that you have very neat hair.
	They're saying that you're a bunch of pedos who want to meet children.
	If it was an MSNBC news director.
	NBC, yeah.
	NBC, sorry, news director.
	And, well, it happened at CNN as well, and it just keeps happening.
	But that's just at the major level.
	You also have at the schools, where they're not just wanting to do that and that happens.
	It's also grooming them into their ideology.
	Yes.
	Which is also now an illegal relationship with a child.
	At least in Florida.
	Anyway, so let's talk about the process of grooming.
	I think this will remind you of some political activism that's been going on.
	This is an Australian children's charity who are trying to prevent paedophiles from getting access to children.
	And so...
	The left hook was personally.
	The left hook was personally.
	And so they just give us a more expanded definition of what we're talking about.
	Grooming describes the preparation phase of child sexual assault and exploitation undertaken by a perpetrator to gain the trust of a child or young person and to establish secrecy and silence.
	Been a few of those, haven't there?
	I'm your parent now.
	Don't tell your parents that you're trans.
	We'll keep it just between us.
	It's pretty ominous.
	It is not always that the child or young person who is groomed.
	Parents and carers or other significant adults, including organizations, may also be groomed by someone intending to harm a child.
	Like Disney.
	Seriously.
	Or the entire school.
	Exactly.
	Or just the entire political wing of the left in politics.
	Grooming may cause a child to feel though they have an important or special relationship with the person who is harming them.
	I'm your parent now.
	You're special to me.
	Now let's go get the surgery.
	They may experience confusion of the nature of their relationship.
	And I tell you what, if there's one thing about left-wing politics these days, it's confusion.
	Come on, you can hardly say these kids are giving you informed consent.
	They internalize the abuse as their fault, feeling responsibility for any harm experienced and fear they will be blamed, punished, not believed.
	What are we talking about?
	Come on!
	That's just exactly...
	If I say I'm no longer trans, I get in trouble.
	You know?
	It's me.
	I'm the person with the confused feelings.
	If I go to the authorities and say I was raped, you have to keep that to yourself, because that'll harm the trans identity, such as in that school.
	Loudoun County, yeah.
	But it also is exactly the same with the Migrants of Peace, which...
	Yep.
	There was, um, what was it?
	The, uh, the Norwegian man who was raped by, a Norwegian politician who was raped by a Somali immigrant.
	Didn't want to say anything.
	I think it was his daughter.
	It was his daughter.
	If I remember correctly.
	It was him.
	It was from the Norwegian.
	I think it's happened a couple of times.
	But it's just a couple of times, yeah, it's happened in which someone in politics or their daughter has been raped and then they issued a statement saying, you know, I'm not going to take it to the police because I don't want him deported.
	I know there was a German activist who got raped and then moved to Poland and started speaking out about it.
	Well, where else are you going to move?
	If you're in Europe, you've got one place left, really.
	Anyway, so they fear that they'll be separated from their family or home if they speak out, or they believe that disclosure will harm someone or something they love, such as family members or pets.
	So, I mean, out of those five points, I'd say at least three or four of them are pretty...
	Descriptive of what the left is doing with children in a non-sexual way, just the LGBT activists.
	And so they go on and explain that grooming may take a number of forms.
	Building a child's trust, using presents, special attention, treats, spending time together and playing games.
	Have some rainbow cookies.
	Exactly.
	And special attention.
	Oh, look, you've come out as trans.
	Everyone's like, oh, stunning and brave.
	Favouritism.
	The offender treats the child as an adult.
	There we go.
	They can give informed consent.
	That's what Nadol gives.
	Treating them differently and making them feel like a unique friend, making the child feel more special than others.
	That's exactly what this is about.
	Gaining the trust of the child's carers.
	Careful to be seen as close, caring, and reliable relative or friend of the family.
	Put a pin in that one because that's going to come up later in this episode.
	Love is love.
	We're for love.
	We're about stopping hate.
	Don't worry, parents.
	And just think of the psychotic 35-year-old mothers.
	The Californian white mothers who are like, my daughter's definitely trans.
	Definitely trans.
	Even though she keeps saying she's not.
	This is for her own good.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Isolation, of course, ensures secrecy and lessens the chances of disclosure.
	Intimidation and secrecy.
	The offender may use coercion, such as threatening looks of body language, glares, stalking, and rules of secrecy.
	Testing the waters or boundary violation.
	Innocent touching, gradually developing into accidental sexual contact.
	Shaping the child's perceptions.
	The child is often confused as to what is acceptable and can take on self-blame for the situation as his or her viewpoint can be totally distorted.
	Yeah, that's another 100% true.
	Again, just left-wing activism when it comes to LGBT children fits a lot of these categories and that's quite concerning.
	But of course, that's not what grooming means.
	Got a redefinition of the term grooming from the Atlantic.
	We're going through the stages.
	Michelle Goldberg complains that, well, the right has been, the right has taken to accusing anyone who opposes it of wanting to expose young kids to explicit material in order to prime them for abuse.
	Hang on, hang on.
	Why has the right done that?
	Well, it's because of the teaching materials.
	Yes.
	They keep having explicit material they want to show to kids.
	Well, that's the thing.
	The QAnon idea that the right's political opposition is a cabal of pedophiles has gone mainstream.
	Why is that?
	I mean, again, lips of TikTok showing the reading materials or the class materials and going, hey, look at this.
	This explains, this includes sexually explicit material.
	I mean, there was literally...
	And the left was to show your kids it.
	There was literally like a pencil drawing of two men giving each other blowjobs.
	In one primary school piece.
	And the right keeps saying that they want to show that in primary schools.
	I mean, it might be a bit of a clue that's labelled primary school material.
	And how many of Epstein's associates have been revealed?
	Oh, that was all under lock and key.
	So, I mean, just saying, you look like a cabal of pedophiles.
	And if you didn't want to look like a cabal of pedophiles, you probably wouldn't have flags that say things like love is love.
	Because that sounds like the sort of thing a pedo would say.
	Yeah.
	Just saying.
	Age is just a number.
	I mean, that is what the conversation that you and your friends seem to have all the time.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, they say about the term groomers, it's usually used to describe pedophiles who are preparing innocent kids for sexual exploitation.
	And they're using it in the usual manner.
	Just saying.
	I think it is coming to have a somewhat broader meaning.
	No.
	No, that's what they mean when they call you a groomer.
	An adult who wants to separate children from a normative sexual and gender identity and inspire confusion within them and to turn them against their parents and all the normative traditions and institutions in society.
	Yeah, so you can debauch them because you're a bunch of pedos.
	Just saying.
	It may not specifically be to groom them for sexual activity, but it certainly is to groom them to take on a gender sexual identity at odds with the norm.
	Yeah, and also you're a bunch of pedos.
	But also, that is sexual activity.
	Like, I know it's not intercourse, but it is still you trying to sexualize a child.
	Sure.
	A non-sexual being.
	But they mean, like, direct physical...
	I understand, but it's just the sense, like, you hear people talk about the fact, oh, you know, I'm not sexualizing kids.
	If you're literally going to a being that is non-sexual and bringing sexual topics to them, yes, you are, by definition.
	Sure, but I also think they're doing it because they want to touch kids.
	Anyway, so moving on, we finally arrived at the, actually, yes, I'm a groomer and that's good, say the left.
	At least one left us here.
	Yes.
	Just to be clear, do not contact this person.
	This person is just an activist on the internet promoting grooming.
	That doesn't mean you should contact them.
	That just means you should be aware that this is the inevitable conclusion of left-wing philosophy, basically.
	They're going to say, well, yeah, we're doing this and we're doing this on purpose.
	And so it's just the bravest among them are like, well, I mean, that is what we're for, isn't it?
	It's like, yeah, but you can't say that.
	Well, I can, though.
	The most truthful leftist.
	Yes.
	So we should be thankful to this most honest leftist for telling us exactly what they think.
	So anyway, in this article that is entitled Everyone's a Groomer, I don't think they are.
	Maybe every leftist is a groomer.
	Everyone in your social circle is a groomer.
	But she says, the term groomer got me thinking.
	The word has been used for a few decades to refer to the process of acclimatizing children to sexual abuse and the uber-right drinkers of Florida government DeSantis' presidential campaign-flavored Kool-Aid have echo-chambered his speechwriter's appropriation of the term to refer to anyone who supports LGBTQI plus rights.
	The word has plenty of good, useful, and healthy meaning.
	I'm going to step up and take it back.
	No, it doesn't.
	Oh, God.
	What a weird thing to try and reclaim.
	Yeah, reclaim the word groomer.
	Yeah, but you're calling yourself a pedophile.
	Yeah, we're reclaiming it.
	Yeah, but we're going to turn it into a word that's not...
	Why are you bothering?
	It's got good, useful, and healthy meanings.
	Does it?
	Grooming dogs?
	That's about it.
	That's all I could have.
	But here's the argument.
	We all groom kids.
	Just a big self-report.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Anyone who has a beloved child in their life is a groomer.
	Every parent is a groomer.
	Preparing you for unwarranted sexual conduct.
	Everything we do has the power to influence young people.
	What we're going to do is redefine groomer.
	Everything we do has the power to influence young people and instruct them on what it means to be human, but that's not what grooming is.
	Every action of love or hate, every lesson of generosity or greed, every spoken instruction about privilege or superiority, the people yelling and waving hateful signs at Allendale UMC groomed the kids around them, hoping to shape and form them in their own angry images and likenesses.
	They were actively grooming.
	That's not what grooming is.
	Well, you can argue you can groom someone into an ideology, but that is also true of these people.
	It just so happens at the same time that your ideology is explicitly sexual.
	You're obsessed with queer theory and kids, and no one else is.
	You say hateful people, I don't know who the hell that is, but let's say you've got some hateful people, they don't generally talk about, well, even hetero theory in kids, it's not a thing.
	But even then, it's not grooming because it's not something that is for your personal good.
	What it is is for the good of the child.
	When you're raising a child, you're doing it in their best interest.
	And it's in their best interest that they get the best start in life.
	These people, they want to bring them into this ideology to make sure the ideology continues to grow and expand.
	It's a virus.
	Yes.
	It's for their personal benefit that lots of people around them support gays, accept gays, are gay.
	It's not for my personal benefit that my children are healthy and happy.
	But I don't think it's about accepting or support as well.
	It's obviously about coercion instead.
	We've made it many times, but again, the difference between gay and LGBT folks as the alphabet people as well.
	Those who are accepting of homosexuality and it's part of their lives.
	And then those who want to, well, queer your kids, as they put it themselves.
	I mean, they literally say, we're coming for your children.
	As in, I want the kid to end up just being an alphabet activist for the rest of their lives, and that's their entire identity, and frankly, that's sad.
	And I'm just going to say it.
	I just don't trust a bunch of queer Californian 20-something men who literally say, we're coming for your children.
	I just don't trust their intentions.
	And I don't see why I should.
	It's also just anyone you ever speak to who's gone to San Francisco Pride comes back being like, yeah, I'm Polish on this now.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm sorry, I just don't trust your intentions.
	I think these are the sort of people who would, given the opportunity, do something terrible to a child.
	And then call it love, frankly.
	And so they end this with, quote, yes, I'm a groomer, at least I strive to be.
	It's like, okay, I believe you.
	And so we've got some clips.
	When the enemy says you're evil.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Believe them when they say it.
	And so they put up a YouTube video about this.
	So again, don't contact these people or anything like that.
	But this is an argument.
	This is them presaging what you're about to hear from the left.
	If you keep up using the term groomer, they're going to eventually say, yeah, we're groomers and we love it.
	This will become mainstream left-wing talking points within, what, a year?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Within a few months, I think.
	Play the clip.
	This term groomer has been used for a few years.
	To refer to people who are preparing children to be sexually abused and to kind of get the kids used to it.
	And now it's being applied to queer people and those who advocate for things like gender affirming care for young people and being able to talk about LGBTQIA plus relationships in school settings and things like that.
	So, I wrote a blog about it, and I kind of want to take this term groomer back and grooming back and start a movement, a wave of people saying, yes, I am a groomer.
	Because everybody grooms children, anybody who has kids in their lives hopes to be grooming them in some way, informing them, whether they're intentionally teaching Or whether it's just through their role modeling and behaviors,
	every action of love or hate, every statement of kindness or hostility, all that stuff is shaping our kids.
	Did you want to say anything before I keep rolling?
	Odd and bad that they've taken a term that wasn't meant to be what they're using it for.
	I mean, if you look it up in Urban Dictionary, it doesn't look good.
	Webster, it's just about grooming dogs or shaping something.
	So it's not meant to be what they're using it to be.
	So I think the idea of taking it back and talking about grooming as something you do to shape someone in a good way is something that we should take back because that is what we do.
	We set a good example for children, not a bad example.
	And all of this malarkey is ridiculous.
	And we need to just take it back and say who we are and be seen in the world for who we are.
	Our kids.
	How many kids do you think this old lesbian couple has?
	Probably not that many.
	I have no idea.
	But just the...
	Steal of steelest mans for a minute.
	Just for a moment.
	If you were them, you could have done literally anything else that day and you would have done better.
	But I just can't get the idea of grooming off my mind, Callum.
	You could have just stared at paint for the last 24 hours and you would have done more for yourself.
	I also find it interesting that this is the...
	You remember there was a bit of a stab in the dark at this rhetoric before with the we're coming for your children.
	Like, would it reform that speech into being something positive?
	And then four other people in the choir turned out to be nonsense.
	But, you know, this rhetoric...
	Literally a choir of nonsense who are like, we're coming for your children.
	And this is...
	Well, it seems to be a pattern that this is where the left-wing ideology leaves, which is, we're going to do it and it's a good thing.
	And we're going to try and reclaim the word.
	And everyone just thinks, why are you trying to do that?
	Because they're a bunch of nonces.
	They want to nonce children.
	I'm at that position now.
	Left-wing ideology.
	Yeah.
	Left-wing ideologists.
	And then they're like, yeah, yeah, we're good.
	And we can see exactly how this is going to work.
	Let's go for the next clip.
	So, um...
	Are we groomers?
	Yes!
	I'll be a groomer as much as possible.
	What are we going to groom?
	We're going to groom in acceptance of self and others.
	We're going to groom in autonomous thinking, right?
	That these kids can think for themselves rather than evaluate information, rather than just swallowing whatever is fed to them, even if it's fed from us.
	We're going to groom issues like consent and standing up for yourself, and mostly we're going to groom the idea of the power and the belief in love and walking in that and standing in that.
	Yep, so we're going to groom.
	I mean, that just sounds like the formula a pedophile would use to justify what they're doing.
	I mean, yeah, again, even as a steelist man, they're like, oh, we're grooming for good, right?
	Yeah.
	Okay, I'll try to change the word because it sounds ridiculous in their wording.
	We're going to educate kids about consent.
	Okay, that's the steelest manaposition I can get from what they just said.
	The strongest point.
	And even then, why on earth are you talking to non-sexual beings about consent?
	Children can't consent.
	Exactly.
	I mean, we're going to teach them about acceptance, consent, and love.
	It's like...
	Okay, but the children, you don't need to get them to accept those things the adults around them are saying.
	They do anyway, the kids.
	You don't need to talk to them about consent because they can't.
	End of story.
	And not everything that happens to a child is love, especially when it's some weird foreign adult who's just like, you know, don't tell your parents.
	It's not love.
	I mean, this just sounds like the formula for what pedos would do.
	I couldn't even get their statement out to sound steel man unless I changed the wording.
	Yeah.
	And again, just do not contact these people, obviously.
	But this, I mean, I think that they are going to, the left in general, is going to continue doubling down on this.
	So keep calling them groomers, because I'm sure this will play well with the moderates.
	Yeah, we're a bunch of groomers.
	Hand over your kids.
	It's like, um, vote Republican?
	Ultra MAGA now?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Anyway, that's about that.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	So our friend Paul here on the left is teaching us a little bit about sparring.
	Note how he does these arrhythmic jabs as feints to try and throw you off.
	Then he's gonna do an overhead parry to the left, and then cut back behind your shield for a body blow.
	This move is called the Punto Reverso, and you can find it in Renaissance combat manuals.
	Paul has also done a longer video about hot plate combat, and here it is if you're interested.
	Punto Reverso.
	I don't think that was the original Greek.
	I was just thinking because it just sounds like a silly...
	Reverse punt.
	Yeah.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hey, Carl.
	So, Dad has got the cabinet doors stained and he's got the handles and the hinges painted.
	And he's got a door figured out for this fancy cabinet that he built.
	And over here in the bathroom, he has finished the vanity countertop and put the sink in, and he also has got the shower paneling all put in.
	That's looking amazing.
	Do you remember, because I was saying the other day, I remember when it was all stripped, when he was first showing it here, and it's starting to look more and more like a hotel.
	Speaking of it, have you seen Simon's van?
	Yeah, it's not that nice.
	He's getting there.
	I saw it the other day.
	A friend of ours, Simon Sideways on YouTube.
	We went and I was looking at his van.
	I was like, man, you should really get a woman and just start decorating it.
	It was a fairy lights or whatever.
	And it literally would just look like a two-star hotel or something at that point.
	Then it would be done.
	But I guess we'll see.
	He's got his own little...
	He's got a refrigerator in there.
	Oh, really?
	Fridge, microwave, kettle, stove, all in the van.
	You can see that.
	All right.
	Go to the next one.
	We should either have legal abortions, but also allow men the freedom of choice to refuse to pay child support, or have neither.
	Women have had their cake and have been able to eat it too for decades now.
	This is disgusting.
	It's definitely one of the causing factors in the destruction of the nuclear family.
	This has to be stopped.
	There has to be accountability and responsibility here.
	Because there are countless cases where men want the child, but the woman gets an abortion anyway.
	Because who cares what men think?
	My body, my choice.
	Am I right, girls?
	Yeah, that's a fair point.
	They're having it both ways at the moment.
	I have no idea what to make of it at that point, where you argue about the man giving support.
	Because, of course, if you're going to ban abortions and say, yeah, we're not doing that because that's killing kids, and therefore that's the case.
	You're going to force the men to give money.
	I mean, this is like, I would think the ideal conservative or at least right-wing position on it, right?
	Which is that you then strengthen the nuclear family by making them work together.
	Yeah, you gotta get married.
	But at the same time, like, he is right there about the fact that not giving someone money isn't really the same as killing a child.
	So...
	A little less.
	We can't really say that's a compromise because that's, you know, it's not really a trade.
	It's like, I'll stop killing kids if you give me money.
	Hang on!
	But I mean, it might be the only solution.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	Hey there, guys.
	Very long time, no comment.
	Just thought I'd let you know that I have resigned from the Labour Party, so exciting stuff here.
	In other news, back in London, back in the office, that's all very good, except for the fact that I've just paid £18.40 for two bloody coffees.
	£18.40.
	That's insane.
	Is that inflation or what?
	It's in London, mate.
	I mean, yeah.
	It probably is inflation.
	What the hell, man?
	Stay home.
	I don't know what else to say.
	Well, I suppose at least you're saving on your labour subscription now.
	Well, it was only £5 or something, wasn't it?
	Because Jeremy Corbyn.
	I think he paid more because we met him in the live event.
	He got ripped off.
	Oh, really?
	Bad luck.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hi.
	So...
	This is going to be one of my last video comments for a while because I'm bumping down from gold to silver.
	I just don't find the gold here to be worth it anymore because of the Zoom call, which is the main reason I'm there at least.
	Not enough of us get the time to speak.
	There are many who just stay short and just finish easy and bless them, but there are some who just keep hogging all the time, just several minutes, 10, 15.
	I think that maybe implementing an actual clock, a visible one, to just count down like two or three minutes per speaker, maybe enough of us can be able to talk.
	But that's for you to figure out and for me too much later.
	As for the time thing, we do actually have a physical clock.
	Like, for the last one, Michael sat there with a clock on screen to make sure that we were keeping this.
	No one went to 10 or 15 minutes.
	But this is a debate, and it's not really solvable in the sense of we could just lower the time or expand.
	That doesn't really work because there's just too many people.
	Like, it's not...
	What are we going to do about it?
	The proposal I came up with, I think it was last time I was on, was mentioning maybe we just start prioritizing people who are new, for example, because there are new people who turn up and don't get a chance.
	Maybe we should do some sort of ticket system.
	Well, that's what we're kind of doing already.
	Well, no, no.
	What I mean is like, you know, for a period of like six months or something, you know, you get a ticket and then in the third Zoom call in this period, then you get a time slot.
	Possible.
	Because then people can at least be sure that at some point they're going to be able to have their say.
	I mean, I don't know.
	Leave us comments.
	Let us know what you think.
	Yeah.
	But as for being able to do it per Zoom call, it isn't a physical possibility.
	I mean, we've already extended the Zoom call to include another half an hour and to put the time limit on so we could get three people.
	Didn't really expect that many people would join.
	But yeah, it's not something I'm unsympathetic to at all.
	So we'll see what we can do.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So, millennials are famous for only reading Harry Potter and the Handmaid's Tale.
	And I need money, so it's time that I start making some fanfiction of combining the two ideas.
	So, I think I've got a brilliant quote for you guys in the story of Harry Potter and the Chambers of the Handmaid Tales.
	You're a handmaid, Harry.
	It's so stupid, but it's exactly what the left-wing people read.
	And millennials, of course.
	I think it's perfect.
	I'm going to make lots of money off of this.
	I would like to see the result.
	Harry Potter and the Handmaid's Tale.
	Go to the next one.
	I disagree with your definition of politics, actually, Alex.
	I would say politics is the struggle for power.
	I must stand up against the propensity for people to blame politics for everything.
	David Freiheit is woefully wrong in his definition and shows no understanding that, when done right, politics is about careful negotiation.
	It is through the activism of postmodernists that politics has been poisoned.
	Activism has no time for discussion, only coercion.
	No time for compromise, only power.
	Which is why politics is not unique to politics.
	I think that's an interesting point, and it seems to be true, which is that you've got politics not just on the fight between two sides, but also negotiations sometimes.
	I mean, that's what international politics is.
	Which is eventually, you might actually find yourself actually going, okay, we'll have a deal.
	Like Trump.
	I think that politics is the management of power.
	I think the term management is the important part.
	Not the fight for power.
	Well, it could be a fight.
	How it is managed is the thing that matters.
	And that depends on the intention and goodwill.
	Or lack of the people involved.
	And so, yeah, I mean, the postmodernists here is right.
	The postmodernists are like making everything just a political fight.
	Unprepared to compromise.
	And they just want victory.
	So, okay, yeah, sure.
	You could have that from any faction, really.
	But I mean, in a democratic society, it used to be, oh, you know, we're the government, you're the loyal opposition, we will compromise.
	To get things done in order to have a synthesis of these positions going forward into whatever the next problems are.
	And that's the reason why you get like local politics.
	If you think like in a particular sphere, like you'll get, you know, office politics, you know, things like that.
	So there's a push and pull of people's varying demands and the power that is the sort of in the totality of the system that has to be shared among various agents.
	And so I think politics is accurately termed the management of this power.
	It's just how it's managed.
	And the problem is our ability to manage power has just been poisoned by left-wing ideology.
	Well, it's the good faith aspect, as you were saying.
	That's what's gone entirely.
	The opponents are evil, we're good, so we should win.
	But then also, the possibility of ever compromising or agreeing or making a deal cannot happen anymore.
	Well, why would you make a deal with Hitler?
	That's why you can't get into North Korea.
	Hey, would you nuclearize?
	This is the fifth time we've signed this, and every single time they've broken it, so we're just not going to sign another one?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, fair.
	And it's not saying there can't be irreconcilable political differences, that maybe a war has to be fought on, and that's what a war is, the continuation of politics by other means.
	But I do think it is the management of power.
	I think that's fair.
	And that's, you know, I think Viva Frye is not entirely wrong with it.
	Well, I thought he was saying to fight for power.
	He wasn't saying to just the fighting aspect.
	Right, yeah.
	Sorry, yeah.
	So, yeah, I mean, he's got one aspect of power, of politics, understood.
	But I think it's the broader conversation of just how it's managed more generally, and there are multiple different ways of doing it.
	Maybe I should do a video on this.
	Go to the next one.
	They realize how much they were lied to and then they grieve their dead children and have PTSD meltdowns because no one told them their children were their children.
	We all deserve better than abortion.
	This is why I'm here today, not just for the children, but also for their mothers.
	Abortion is fascism.
	Abortion is patriarchal oppression.
	Abortion harms all.
	Absolutely.
	Okay.
	What is going on?
	This ain't right.
	No, no, let's hear them out.
	Abortion is fascism and patriarchal oppression.
	Yeah, okay.
	Don't need to know any more, actually.
	I'm just happy to roll with that.
	Next one.
	This is a net loss.
	Excuse the pun.
	No.
	You could frame abortion as patriarchal oppression, because what it is is keeping women from being mothers, and so keeping them in the workforce.
	So they're essentially Jeff Bezos' private harem.
	I was thinking about the fascism aspect.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Don't worry about it.
	That's just a word they used to mean bad.
	But patriarchal oppression actually has a definition that they can coherently lay out.
	And you could argue that, yeah, keeping mothers in the workforce and not being mothers, keeping women from being mothers, you could describe that as a form of patriarchal oppression.
	You know, 75% of CEOs are men, blah, blah, blah.
	What's the fascistic position on abortion, though?
	Because I would have thought it's banned because you want more kiddos to fund the war in the production.
	Although saying that, I mean, if you've got a particularly well-managed state, I could see that a fascist state could accept abortion.
	Which is that, you know, we have some harem of, you know, physically ideal people who do the actual birthing and the rest of it.
	Oh, in a eugenics fashion?
	Yeah, yeah, maybe.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	If you were going to...
	The fascists could accept that.
	I think they would probably demand it.
	Yeah.
	You've got a disabled baby, that needs to be aborting.
	Well, it's important to probably ask as well, because no one else seems to play Fallout New Vegas.
	So if anyone does, please contact me.
	Probably KitKat, because she said she enjoyed it.
	Just to check, but I'm writing the script for the Fallout New Vegas thing.
	And that was one of the problems I came across yesterday, because Caesar defining his legion as a fascist entity.
	And then I was thinking, well, how do I demonstrate that with the women and whatnot?
	But there is no abortion in Caesar's legion, it seems.
	Except when they just want to kill all the kids.
	They just do, because it's Caesar's legion.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	I need you and Little Joan with the top 10 pop culture references about the Jersey Devil.
	First, there's the PlayStation video game, the X-Files episode, the episode of Gravity Falls, the episode of The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie that had the Jersey Devil in it, Horror movies include The Thirteenth Child, The Barons, Carney, and The Last Broadcast.
	And finally, Bruce Springsteen did a song, A Night with the Jersey Devil.
	So what is the Jersey Devil meant to be?
	Is it like some goat fiend or something or what?
	I'm looking at PS1 footage right now and I have no idea.
	The devil, I guess.
	This is always fairly ill-defined, right?
	Because, I mean, Bigfoot is really well-defined.
	You know what you're supposed to expect.
	Well, yeah, but it's a giant, hairy ape-man, right?
	And, you know, it's like the Chupacabra.
	It's like, okay, but what's it meant to be?
	How am I going to recognize it when I see it?
	You know?
	Whereas man-bear-pig is really distinct.
	Half-man, half-bear, half-pig.
	How is that not self-explanatory?
	The Jersey Devil?
	That could be anything.
	In fact, John's got it up.
	It doesn't look like a PS1 at all.
	Exactly.
	There's a lack of canonical consistency around what the Jersey Devil is supposed to be that I'm unimpressed with.
	Thematically.
	Well, I'm very sorry.
	I guess we'll write to the Jersey Devil's address.
	I mean, look, that doesn't look at all like the previous picture.
	God.
	It actually looks like a weird tyrannid.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Just 3D print that, John.
	Henry says, It's a bold strategy to come out against making America great again, after you've made life significantly worse for America in under 18 months.
	Back in the run-up to 2016, there was an argument that America was never great.
	Not sure they'll wash this time.
	That's a good point.
	Like, Biden's like, oh, I'm going to make America better.
	Well, what, than you?
	Obviously.
	I remember it.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I was there.
	The pictures, like, you see them going around, like, social media of, like, just petrol prices, where it's like $2 a gallon, and people just, oh, my God.
	Bring back the orange, man.
	M1 Ping says, reducing the federal government by 25% in five years seems far too slow for something called Ultramaga.
	Good point.
	Should be reduced by...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Should be reduced by 25% every year in perpetuity.
	Yeah, I'm liking the way this Ultramaga is going.
	Let's get some really extreme demands.
	This is the way the left does things.
	They make a really extreme demand, and then they get like a third of it, and then they're like, okay, that's a start, but we've got an even more extreme demand, and we want a third more, and this is how the Overtum window keeps shifting.
	This is what Ultramaga needs to do.
	Every year, 50% of the government will be purged, until it's one guy, and it's just like, well, it's in the Constitution.
	I mean, at the end of the day, that would be good for everyone.
	Or do we hire a child instead?
	So we've got 50% of the government now.
	Oh god, no.
	I don't want groomer representation.
	No, no.
	You've got one civil servant.
	I mean, you can't cut him in half.
	That would be kind of cruel.
	So you just bring in a midget and he does the job instead.
	I think we can have a reasonable compromise on the civil service being composed of one person.
	I think that's reasonable.
	It's too big.
	And he can have extra holiday time, so he spends most of his time out of the office.
	Okay.
	We'll increase his holidays 50% every year.
	General Haiping says...
	General Haiping, Chinese Internet Battalion, says, Oh, things are going to get very interesting once the Ministry of Truth comes along.
	One person sliding a piece of paper over a table saying, here are the facts of the situation, to which a sinister veiled hand slides a different piece of paper back saying, cough, cough, I think you'll find these are the facts.
	What I love about this, oh no, in fact I don't love this, I hate this about this, right?
	I don't know why I said what I love about it.
	Right.
	You start seeing Republicans going, who would you like to be in charge of the Ministry of Information or whatever, Ministry of Truth?
	It's like, what are you talking about?
	I had to post about this on Guest or something.
	Shut up!
	Don't just accept the left's premise.
	You go, no, that's evil.
	But we say that a lot.
	Yeah.
	Usually it's, okay, I could say I could stumble, right?
	But Ministry of Information?
	Yeah.
	Well, that's valid.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the Conservatives have done exactly that.
	Liz Truss is going to be the Minister of Equalities.
	Really, you're making her the Minister of Communism, aren't you?
	Why?
	Why you, the Conservatives, not just abolishing this thing?
	Like Lukashenko's Conservatives, where we're conserving communism.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's exactly what they're doing.
	But the point is, the Conservatives just have no...
	It's not understanding or innovation within them at all.
	And so when the left are like, hey, we've got this new institution, because it's like, oh, thank you so much.
	I guess we'll use this then.
	It's like, don't be an idiot.
	I'm a conservative.
	Red Army Parade.
	Thank you, Lukashenko.
	Such a meme.
	Matthew says, extreme ultra-maga sounds so great.
	Who's writing Biden's teleprompter?
	Including an infiltrator.
	It's Trump.
	Chipotle Aristotle says, ultra-maga McCarthyism now.
	Please and thank you.
	It's a great meme.
	I'm loving this ultra-maga stuff.
	Andrew says, I'm not fond of arbitrary term limits, but then again, there are swamp creatures like Pelosi, Sanders, and Biden that have been in government forever.
	Maybe the loss of some good politicians due to term limits is worth expelling these government parasites.
	Yeah, I think if you're going to weigh up, I mean, like, who are the good politicians?
	But they can do other jobs as well.
	Yeah.
	Like Ron DeSantis being governor, he can then go to the Senate or the Congress or then, you know, become president.
	Like, there's a lot of other things you can do to bounce around.
	But also, that's you talking specifically about elected politicians whom, okay, they might be there for 50 years, but you at least every time have the option of being able to elect them out.
	What we're talking about is civil servants.
	The federal bureaucrats.
	That was where the term limits were posed.
	He was saying about Nancy Pelosi.
	I know, but in the segment, it was about federal bureaucrats.
	And they are the swamp creatures you never get to see, who have a lot of control of the way your government works.
	Well, the funniest thing is in Britain, we've institutionalized that.
	The fact that they're called permanent private secretaries, as in permanent to the department.
	Like, the minister can't fire them, he just has to ask them to resign.
	Yeah.
	And so Priti Patel managing to bully out Philip Pullman or whatever it was.
	Yeah, it was a good start.
	I know, it was a good start, yeah.
	One fewer swamp creature.
	Bleach Demon says...
	In my head, could you imagine literally schoolboy bully tactics?
	She just comes in and someone starts keeping their report and she goes, what?
	Just comes over to the desk and knocks something over.
	It's a picture of my family, Priti.
	Yeah, I'll deport them.
	They came over during the Norman Conquest!
	Precisely.
	Bleach Demon says, the Democrats are three hours of their own.
	Revision, racism, and re.
	Charlie says, Ultra Maga sounds mega-based.
	Ultra Chad, yes.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I want to get a cap with Ultramagron now.
	Student of History says, Term limits for the middle management class, the dissolution of pointless leftover departments, unfortified elections, schools teaching Americanism and actual skills, families above the state, basic biological facts, constitutional rights reaffirmed, targeted tax increases to make the health of your nation your problem, fiscal responsibility.
	I mean, there is definitely an argument for the skin in the game thing.
	Look, you want us to be fiscally responsible, then you're going to have to pay some taxes.
	You pay some taxes and suddenly you're like, yeah, we'd like lower taxes, please.
	Was that not the argument behind the poll tax in the UK? Yeah, but poll taxes are a bad idea in general because they tax people who don't earn money.
	You can't tax housewives.
	Whereas doing it on income, you can argue.
	Exactly.
	You are definitely earning money.
	And just historically, poll taxes...
	I'll try.
	I appreciate the effort, Margaret, but no, you can't.
	Margaret was like, I'm going to make them pay.
	It's the only thing that gets the English up in revolt, really, as well.
	Poll taxes.
	It's what caused the Peasants' Revolt.
	What, Tyler?
	700 years ago.
	What happened to poll tax?
	Oh, God.
	Should have learned a lesson.
	But anyway, the reinvigoration of anti-communist action and Americans are not global citizens based simple as.
	Yeah, I totally agree.
	Like this ultra-magic agenda is...
	Free Will says, unfortunately, the establishment and the cronies will close ranks to prevent anything resembling this agenda from being enacted into law.
	Yeah, but, you know, the point is, it's not going to be, you know, step one, you know, get selected day one, right, ultramaric agenda.
	It's going to be, in 20 years' time, like, slow erosion of left-wing, the democracy they have created.
	Yeah.
	Just slowly chipping off everything in service of this end goal is what you're looking for.
	In the same way that FMJ is in service of the end goal of communism.
	It's exactly the same.
	Longshank says, Step one, reduce the size of the government.
	Step two, promote family values.
	Step three, question mark.
	Step four, taxes are raised by a hundred billion.
	That's bad because we're not doing it.
	The cathedral trying to figure out how to make this plan look bad.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's just such a ridiculous...
	Oh, they're the party of high taxes.
	Please.
	I love the idea that Trump and all his mates just get blackout drunk after saving the family and then just accidentally raise taxes at $100 billion.
	That's what I'm like.
	It's going to happen.
	Comrade Starmer says, If Twitter were a car, the cathedral.
	Okay, Elon, if you insist on buying that car, you must put all of these bump stickers on it, drive under the speed limit, and give us all lifts to church.
	Elon, sorry, I can't hear you over the donuts I'm doing.
	Freewell says, the establishment are always criticizing people on the right for indulging in conspiracy theories, but when US political staffers, European governments and the media gang up to attack Elon Musk, who simply wants to allow freedom of speech, isn't that evidence of a conspiracy to silence free speech and bring down someone they cannot control?
	Yes, yes it is.
	I mean, I can't imagine there wasn't any organisation of this behind the scenes.
	It didn't just spring out of nowhere, fully formed like it is.
	S.H. Silver says, I suppose Elon will be testing to see if he's truly principled towards free speech or if he was simply rich enough to dabble in this endeavour while not being able to take the heat.
	Let's hope for our sake it's the former.
	Yeah, but I mean, I think that he really is into the fight.
	I think he enjoys it.
	I think it's also...
	Because he's kind of autistic.
	What's he got?
	Asperger's?
	Something like that.
	And he seems to not really understand a lot of social interactions in a good way.
	Like, it's a very good thing.
	Because it means when someone comes to him and is like, shouldn't you feel bad about all this?
	He just looks and goes...
	I don't know.
	He also seems quite genuine.
	I quite like him.
	He seems quite open about things.
	I like that.
	Charlie again says, funny how the left never went anywhere near as autistic when Bezos had bought the Washington Post.
	No, no, no.
	They put out articles saying this will be interesting.
	A brave new frontier in media ownership and things like this.
	What if the king owned the newspaper?
	Advancements.
	That's what they were saying.
	Lord Nerevar says, even if Elon falls to the Coalition, he has shown us the way to fight them.
	They have to fight a rearguard action from here on out, or we might just be winning that.
	Well, I don't want to get too optimistic about it, but it seems to be going quite well.
	XYNZ says, Abortion Girl.
	One has to ask if that's a failure on the part of the parents, or part of the result of rampant indoctrination, which is still a failure on behalf of the parents, not to find out she was learning.
	Yeah, it's just terrible, isn't it?
	It's just...
	So awful.
	Anyway, Alex says, the head of diversity at Twatter, sorry, Twitter, would have to be a seahorse Callum, the only animal that can appease the loony lefties as well as mock them.
	You know anything about seahorse biology?
	Don't they give birth to, like, loads of babies?
	Hardly unique to seahorses.
	Yeah, but, like, the way they do it is kind of gross.
	That's all I remember.
	I remember Zay Frank talking about them.
	Hold on, how do they do it?
	I can't remember now.
	The males give birth to them.
	Oh, yeah, that's it.
	That's why.
	Do you want to say Frank?
	No.
	Alright, I'm going to send you that.
	Harry says, this accountable tech story is another example of leftoids doing us a favour by consolidating all of the information we need.
	The Times article about the bipartisan effort to save the 2020 election, the New York Times pointing out who they are, and now this.
	Thanks leftoids, keep it up.
	Yeah, they're really doing everyone a favour, to be honest.
	Anyway.
	I can't believe you haven't watched Dave Frank.
	I've never heard of it.
	He's a guy, he just makes videos like true facts about this animal, and it'll just be the most disgusting thing you've never thought about.
	Like, that's how I found out ducks are just the worst beings on Earth.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	They're just massive rapists.
	Okay!
	Like, most animals are kind of rapists, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	But ducks are such rapists that they're having an evolutionary biological battle with female ducks as to who can make, like, new weapons on how to rape.
	Like, the female penis, the female vagina started going corkscrew, so they couldn't be raped.
	And then the duck's penis became corkscrew.
	And then it got barbs to wipe away other male's sperm.
	And then there's, like, dead ends in female duck's vaginas, so if it gets raped, it might not get pregnant by being raped.
	It's ridiculous, and it goes on, and it's just levels and levels of just, like, huh.
	Like, they're cute little animals, you feed bread, but actually, they're the worst things on Earth.
	Well, I was going to say, I take my kids to the park and feed the ducks at the pond.
	Yeah, well, you'd not need to know that.
	They're awful.
	They're awful beings.
	They're always so nice, and they look like they're being bullied by the geese.
	No, no, the geese are the good guys.
	What?
	The geese are awful.
	Oh, geese are lovely compared to ducks.
	Okay.
	A bit heartbreaking, really.
	This chat says the long rape war.
	Yeah.
	That's all it is.
	Every time you feed the ducks, that's all you're going to be able to think of.
	Oh no!
	I wish I hadn't known that.
	Well, no, you do.
	Sweden says...
	The long rape war.
	By the way, Sweden...
	Sweden says, I think she's mixing grooming with nurturing.
	Yes, because grooming is inherently selfish and nurturing is inherently altruistic.
	Baystate says, I've decided to start a right-wing globalist meme organization.
	We'll be collecting donations to fund our campaigns of entering the globalist elite space and form charity acts of general clowning and throwing spanners into the works of globalist plans.
	Please donate to our efforts at buildbackbutthurt.org.
	It should become a real thing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, radical.
	Absolutely radical.
	Ultramagra gender on display there.
	Can't even pervert your children.
	Oh, you're fascist.
	I'm moving to Canada.
	I'm moving to California.
	Student of History says, put this on perspective, my state raised the age of smoking to 21 and wants to raise the age of drinking to 25.
	But the party in charge also says 16-year-olds should vote and child sex changes are acceptable.
	It's awful.
	Kevin says, the LGBTQIA plus have to be groomers.
	Regardless of their idea that trans women can have periods, they cannot make children, so they have to steal them from elsewhere.
	That is true.
	No, go on.
	Student history raises a good point, though.
	Because you can see it.
	We have it here.
	Where they're actually arguing for the voting age to be dropped and whatnot.
	Because we can...
	I feel like the right can give a pretty good answer on what an adult is and just say 18, 21, or 25.
	It's going to be one of those three, right?
	Whereas the left, I think we really should start asking them at every conversation we have.
	So what is an adult?
	How do you define it?
	And just seeing what they can do?
	Yeah.
	Because as he points out, you know, you've got 16, you've got 25 or something, 21, and it's all just...
	Yeah, why those?
	But they even go even lower.
	I mean, remember, like, you can get a sex change at, what is it, 12, I think?
	Well, yeah, I mean...
	The Scottish government was arguing.
	It's healthcare, Callum.
	So...
	Do you want to deny children healthcare?
	Yes, if you define it like that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Um...
	Got to bring out the shaman.
	Yeah.
	Longshanks, you've left a really long comment.
	I don't think we'll have time for, so I'm going to have to skip it.
	Sorry.
	But he does make a good point.
	Go read it.
	George says, the Grimm label really did stick if they're trying to redefine it.
	Yeah, it did.
	It was a really savage attack on them that they weren't expecting.
	Funny how the people who treat kids like women's property when it comes to abortion want access to them to mould them to their perversions.
	Andrew says, how convenient that the left redefines language to suit their purposes.
	It's all they do, isn't it?
	It's just exactly what you'd expect.
	But I would find it...
	I mean, it's one thing redefining the word racism.
	I'm not in favour of racism.
	We've got a really elaborate definition of racism.
	Yeah, I'm not really in favour of that either.
	But it's like, groomer...
	I'm going to reclaim being a pedo as a positive...
	What?
	What are you doing?
	What on earth are you thinking of even doing that?
	Not sure that's going to be a successful strategy.
	Chris says, it's a requirement on the left to have been abused in order to know love.
	That's kind of what they're saying.
	Like, this is one of the things that Milo goes on about.
	It's like, well, a lot of gay men have been abused.
	I mean, he's one himself.
	A gay man who's abused as a child.
	Milo's a bit kooky, though.
	Yes.
	But apparently this is not an unusual...
	It's not to say every gay man has been abused or anything like that.
	Right, it's just not that unusual.
	Quite not the numbers, I suppose.
	Yeah.
	Comrade Starmer again says, will these people stop moving to the crosshairs?
	No, they won't.
	Uh...
	And Punk Gun says, ah, Carl and Callum, like the two old guys on the balcony in The Muppet Show.
	Thanks.
	Why is the Punk Gun here saying that?
	I don't know.
	The wrong podcast for you.
	That's basically true.
	Anyway, we're out of time.
	One last one from Kevin.
	Go ahead.
	That's not grooming.
	How compelling.
	Please face the wall.
	It's not even that.
	They just say, yes, I was a groomer.
	Yeah, we're not a groomer.
	Actually, we are a groomer.
	So, okay, I don't care either way.
	I felt bad about being the guy on the long green mile here, but...
	No, no, I feel pretty good about it now.
	Anyway, if you want more from us, bloodestheers.com.
	If you want to subscribe and get access to all the stuff, please do.
	And otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
