	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 16th of June 2022.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the right-wing backlash to the drag schools, the demented old man who's destroying America, and also Amber Heard's dumbass interview that she decided to do.
	I thought we'd have some fun.
	I don't know why she did the stupidest thing.
	I love that interview so much.
	I didn't even watch all of that.
	I just watched a few clips and it was just like, wow.
	Why did you bother?
	Yeah.
	But anyway, without further ado, we shall start off with the right-wing backlash to drag school.
	So the right-wingers have finally, well, done something, which is a huge backlash against the drag queen story hour.
	Hats on the back lads.
	Drag queen story time, drag queen genitals out for Harambe time, I don't know.
	I mean, there's all these different kinds that we've seen prop up on TikTok, if nowhere else.
	And I thought we'd go through some of the backlash that's happened and assess whether or not it's good or bad, I suppose.
	There's some moral debate around that.
	Oh, is there?
	No moral debate around drag queen story time.
	Some moral debate about objecting to drag queen The right-wing backlash.
	I don't know.
	There's a debate to be had.
	But we'll start off with a plug here being the cultural revolution that I did with Harry, because a lot of this is obviously relevant to the modern United States, which seems to be undergoing its own kind of cultural revolution.
	And any of the right-wingers who, well, have any backlash towards this, well, they get disappeared, don't they?
	So if we go to the next one here, we can start off with a story, which is Michigan Attorney General wants drag queens in every school.
	Ha!
	They make everything better, apparently.
	Like every man a king.
	Every man a drag queen, apparently.
	So if we get to the next one, we can see the full story here in which they say...
	The Huey Long agenda for the 2020s.
	Nessel, who was the first openly gay person elected to the statewide office in Michigan, made the comments during a civil rights conference while speaking out against what she describes as efforts to divide Americans.
	On the one hand, you have drag queens, and on the other hand, you have civil rights, and these mesh together perfectly.
	I also just hate how they endlessly talk about, don't you know the right-wingers are trying to divide Americans by saying that maybe kids shouldn't be interacting with grown adults with their genitals out for Harambe?
	She says, quote, Drag queens make everything better.
	Drag queens are fun.
	Drag queen for every school, she added.
	That's an amazing speech.
	What a speech.
	40 acres and a mule for everyone has turned into a drag queen for every school.
	Look at the next one as well.
	We can also see this has just been propping up.
	I mean, I know a lot of people looked at LA Pride, San Francisco Pride, and there's plenty of these clips going around.
	Again, where you look, and the biggest story for me here is not that you've got, you know, what's going on there and then kids.
	It's the parents.
	The human beings who have got kids and brought them here and are like, come on, engage, wear this shirt that says equality.
	Isn't this fantastic?
	The kids just standing there like, why am I here?
	Hmm.
	And, well, what's that kid going to grow up into as well?
	Why are you so obsessed with making sure your kid gets a front row seat at these sort of things, is the bigger question for me.
	And if we go to the next one, this is where the main story comes into it, where the debate around, well, is the right-wing evil?
	What have they done?
	So, a small group of protesters confronted drag queen and ex-vice reporter Kyle Chu at a drag queen story hour event in San Lorenz, California, near San Francisco.
	The drag queen is called a paedophile, And the parents are slammed for bringing their kids to the event by the right-wing protesters.
	I suppose we'll play it and we'll just see what they did.
	Who brought the pedophile?
	Hold on.
	No, thank you.
	Who brought the pedophile?
	We want to know.
	We want to know.
	Oh, we're medically exempt.
	Thank you, though.
	Who brought the pedophile?
	I just want to know.
	Well, then why is the pedophile here?
	Why did you?
	No, no, no.
	We want to know why there's a pedophile here.
	We saw videos of what that thing does.
	Yeah.
	Why did you?
	Hey.
	It's got videos talking about what it wants to do to little children.
	Yeah.
	Why did you bring the pedophile?
	I don't understand.
	I don't understand.
	Get out of here, you pedophile.
	Get out of here.
	You're not safe here.
	Get out of here.
	Yeah, just disgusting.
	Look, no, this is sick.
	You are sick.
	You are sick.
	Look at these poor children.
	These poor children.
	These poor children.
	How dare you guys?
	You godless whores.
	You guys are sick.
	I can't help but laugh.
	He's a very entertaining guy in the way that he just calls them out like that.
	I think the official term is direct action.
	Yeah, direct action that he's taking.
	That's what the left would call this.
	In such enemy territory as well.
	Remember, this is in San Francisco.
	So I haven't seen this right.
	If there's anyone who doesn't live in San Francisco watching this, no one in Britain is wearing masks.
	Zero.
	No one.
	Like, literally zero people in this country.
	You can walk around, you will see zero masks.
	There is no medical reason to wear the mask anymore.
	It's not mandated by, like, the World Health Organization.
	It's not recommended by anyone.
	Although I must interrupt and say, for some reason, YouTube requires us to say that it still can play a role in combating the virus.
	But it can still play a role in combating the virus, apparently.
	Or be shot.
	So...
	But the point is, no one in Britain is wearing masks, and so this is quite clearly a virtue signal.
	And the fact that they're making the kids wear the masks just seems atrocious to me.
	But it gives you such a picture, doesn't it?
	And you're right to pick up on that, because it's not just the fact that, well, this local place has decided to have Drag Queen Story Hour, in which they've invited an individual to come up and do this, and the big question is why, before we get to anything else.
	And then we have the fact that the kids are masked, the parents are masked.
	I mean, this is the kind of place you would see where there would be a parents' evening, Where they would debate which number of Black Lives Matter flags and progress flags should they have in the classrooms.
	Not whether or not it's right to propagandize defenseless children, but how much should be acceptable in our department?
	I can't help but notice that also it's a very feminine space that the men are entering into.
	It's women and feminized men who are conducting Drag Queen Story Hour, and then it's The embodiments of the patriarchy coming in and saying, no, this is wrong.
	You're a pedo.
	I must say that I don't know if there's any evidence to suggest that individual is people, so not defaming that individual.
	I am merely repeating the allegation that was made by the man to explain that this is very clearly a conflict of masculine and feminine values.
	Yeah, I mean, you can see it in black and white there.
	And also the fact that it's such a hostile environment.
	And like, I'm getting at the point that this is probably one of the most extreme places in the West, frankly, San Francisco.
	So the fact that it's like this is not really a surprise, but then you start to wonder whether or not you should write off these kind of places.
	But there's also the fact that Andy Ngo mentions that the individual, Kyle there, a drag queen storytime performer, now says that he fears for his life.
	I think that's the right pronouns, or I'll be shot again.
	Who knows?
	Double bullets.
	And if we go to the clip here, you can see that the parents are then shown a video by the men who have turned up, the men's men.
	Who are like, hey, by the way, you don't know who this is, presumably, so watch this video.
	Do you have a guess what the video might contain?
	I don't make any guesses about this.
	Not the most flattering thing.
	So if we go to the next one, we have the Postmillennial who reported on this.
	I think Andy Poe wrote this as well.
	Drag queen who sings, all the kids who look up to me can suck my D, hosts story time at San Francisco area library.
	So I'm starting to think that the allegation of them being a pedo isn't ill-founded.
	Well, there is a video, which they demonstrated, which SNL paid for to put on their show, where you have the Satanist imagery throughout, in which the drag queen tells you about the fact that they can do what they want, and also if there's any kids that look up to them, they should suck their D. That's a real thing.
	I mean, how are the protesters wrong?
	I mean, they've got an argument there, or at least some reasons as to why they might have their opinions.
	Drag queen won't be suing for defamation anytime soon.
	We'll see.
	But if we go to the next one here, we then have the police response, which is to investigate the evil men.
	Of course, you have here the sheriffs have opened a hate crime investigation into the protest event at the Drag Queen Storytime for this man, presumably, and his other fellow men who turned up.
	Apparently there were quite a few of them.
	Not very feminised men, I happen to note.
	If you scroll down here, there is one argument here, which is of course that there might be a threat, because he's wearing a t-shirt that says kill your local pedophile, and is then shouting at an individual that they are a pedophile for doing this.
	Which, okay, there may be a claim there of criminal wrongdoing, you could argue.
	Make a note, don't kill anyone.
	That's without the law being the case.
	Just don't kill anyone.
	Of course.
	But there we have it.
	That's the events and that's where the debate comes in because there's no debate about whether or not you should have those kind of environments for children endlessly.
	In fact, go further.
	Why not have the kids put money into their clothes and have them dance with them?
	As we've seen previously.
	But people objecting has to be talked about.
	If we go to the next one, we then have the school's response, which is, quote, The incident happened on Saturday, June 11th, where drag queen Panda Dulse was set to read to a group of children.
	She told KTVUV, the Proud Boys...
	Sorry to interrupt, is Panda Dulse the one who is singing The Kids Can Suck My D? Yes.
	Right, so that's the same drag queen.
	It's the same individual.
	Right, so actually a paedophile, right.
	Well, that's part of the rap.
	The person would probably argue that it is, you know, satire or something like that.
	I don't care.
	You can argue that all you want, but I don't believe you.
	It's meant to be a comedic rap, but at the same time, I can see why the lads would have their opinions.
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	I just think that might be a tad inappropriate.
	But that individual said that it was the Proud Boys who interrupted the start of the story hour.
	That's the only source I can find for claiming that these guys are Proud Boys, is the individual who's being called a nonce.
	It's like, the Proud Boys did this, but none of the men have been identified by anyone else as Proud Boys, as far as I am aware from the evidence.
	It just seems to be they made this up, and everyone else in the media has reprinted it.
	Sue Granzilla, a former elementary school teacher, said, It's appalling to me that anyone can come out and attack other people in front of children just for being who they are.
	What?
	I mean, that's the problem here, is it?
	That's the problem.
	Not the fact that it's become the norm in American society that you have drag queen storiel or drag queen, well, dance clubs?
	Not that you're divorcing children.
	It's not that you're actively divorcing children.
	I mean, I heard the guys there saying, this is built on sexuality, and that's completely true.
	Why are you presenting it to children?
	What else could it be for?
	Yeah.
	Why else does this then progress to, as we've seen in Texas, of all places, kids putting dollar notes into the drag queen's underwear.
	Purple state.
	Yeah, and the mothers looking on and cheering and taking pictures.
	I mean, that's the most worrying part, frankly, is the parents here.
	Yeah.
	What the hell is wrong with you?
	Well, it's the mothers in control and the feminized men who are just accepting it and going along with it.
	The patriarchy needs to make a return, in my opinion.
	And I'm going to keep saying purple state until the Texans make it a red state again.
	There is one individual who is very mad about all of this.
	Taylor Lorenz, of all people, is very salty.
	If we go to the next one here, we have Libs of TikTok, who was documenting all this and pointing out that this takes place and, well, is bad, if nothing else.
	And then you have Taylor Lorenz saying that LGBTQ activists have called out Libs of TikTok escalating attacks on the community in recent weeks.
	How dare she?
	Whenever I hear Taylor Lorenz's name, all I picture is a woman of about 50.
	And the sort of soft, sweeping sounds of the Sahara Desert in the background.
	Wasted life.
	Yeah.
	The wasted half century.
	The barrenness that comes out of Taylor Lorenz is just palpable to me.
	So Taylor is also continually upset.
	If we go to the next one, she then decides to just make stuff up about all this.
	Because what else is a barren woman going to do?
	Yeah, she's got nothing else to do this evening.
	She's got kids to take care of.
	So Libs at TikTok got a response.
	She's not going to have dinner with her husband or anything.
	Elon responded to Libs at TikTok, promoting all this and showing it had taken place.
	And then Libs at TikTok got a bunch of death threats and was like, I reported all these as nothing has happened.
	And Elon Musk, obviously being the new owner of the Libs, I decided to say why, and got a response, and then Taylor Rance decided to come out with, as I reported, the Babylon Bee, which Musk has close ties to, invested in libs of TikTok.
	Has close ties to, yeah.
	Elon Musk reads the Babylon Bee, yeah.
	That's the close tie.
	Yeah, we know.
	The investment part?
	Apparently 100% made up.
	Okay.
	Just on the dot, just made that up for a story.
	But, okay, hang on a second.
	Let's assume that she isn't a lying, barren old husk of a woman, and that was true.
	So...
	Well, don't you know Libs of TikTok is exposing the left and therefore causing attacks against the left because people are upset about what the left is doing, which means showing them it is the problem, not what the left is doing.
	Like, sorry, there's nothing wrong with the Babylon Bee investing in Libs of TikTok or whatever, even if they wanted to, even if they did.
	But 100% apparently, no.
	As you can see, Seth Dillon's saying here, which is, you probably should have reached out to me before reporting fake news.
	We don't invest in anything.
	That's With the exception of a third joke, because the lefties are going, oh, the Babylon Bee only has two jokes.
	And he's like, yeah, well, we're working on our third.
	We're going to get there by 2024.
	Scheduled for release in the summer of 2024.
	Yeah, it's completely coming up.
	We'll go to the next one as well.
	We're going to see Taylor's response, which is she took it very well.
	If you scroll down there, auto-blocked by Twitter.
	What?
	Twitter hasn't auto-blocked?
	Apparently?
	I have no idea how this works.
	This is presumably a new thing then?
	Which is Taylor reported him for being spam.
	Custom made for Taylor Lorenz.
	And her hurt feels.
	We'll go to the next one as well.
	This is the accusation made by people like that because what happened here?
	Well, a local library in San Francisco, one of the most slashy areas of the country, decided they would host Drag Queen Story Hour, as they usually do every Tuesday, presumably.
	Why else would they be doing?
	And lifted TikTok, picked up on it, and publicly made it known that was taking place.
	And quote from their play series, you can see there, this story time is designed for preschool-aged children.
	And said, yeah, that's bad.
	And also it's funded by the taxpayer.
	Of course it is.
	And some people turned up and said, well, that's nonce, leave nonce.
	And there's the debate.
	Who's in the wrong here?
	Well, clearly for the people debauching children, you shouldn't be engaging in that regardless of the allegations made against that individual.
	Especially if someone sings lyrics like, the children who look up to me can suck my D. It's pretty weird, to say the least.
	But then we have the fact that this person here says today eight to ten Proud Boys stormed the area.
	Again, Proud Boys, there's no evidence of that.
	They weren't wearing Proud Boys.
	I mean, the Proud Boys have, like, a uniform, that black and gold trim shirt, right?
	So that's usually how they identify themselves.
	It's a joke uniform.
	Is it?
	I don't know.
	The whole thing's a joke, isn't it?
	Well, I suppose it probably is.
	But, like, why weren't they wearing the uniform, you know, to identify themselves?
	Presumably, this is the interesting thing.
	Why did the leftists say these guys are Proud Boys when there's no evidence?
	Well, the evidence is that- Ooh, they say a lot of things on that evidence, Calum.
	The evidence is that they're men, they're masculine, they oppose noncery, therefore must be members of the far right.
	That is really how their thought process went, and then they just went, Proud Boys.
	Proud Boys have really expanded their reach recently, haven't they?
	Are you a man?
	You're a Proud Boy.
	Okay, Proud Boys.
	Man who's not prepared to become a pedo-enabler.
	Wow, look at that typical Proud Boy.
	You ever seen Gavin McGinnis talk about the origins of the Proud Boys?
	I probably have, but go on, remind me.
	The funniest thing, the Proud Boy thing, it's like a song for some Disney song or something, apparently, they're made up.
	It's like, you're a Proud Boy, I'm loving Proud Boy, or some crap like that.
	Like, the initiation program is they punch you and you have to name three breakfast cereals.
	Like, the whole thing is just a meme that then, like, blew up.
	And then the police were like, well, these are neo-Nazis.
	And now, even if you're just a man with a beard, you're a proud boy.
	It's got a bit out of hand.
	Yeah, like, it's a complete joke.
	And I love it.
	I love that just the left are like, well, they're proud boys!
	What did they do?
	They're post-noncery.
	Okay, that's enough.
	So they also go on to say that this account has gone from posting cringe compilations to target selection for domestic terrorists in these last three months flat.
	And she is still hard at work making sure these far-right militias have their next target.
	What target?
	What far-right militias?
	I mean, number one, yeah.
	That doesn't exist.
	But also, pointing out the left engage in, well, some kind of noncy stuff.
	That's helping the far right.
	But also, there was an attempted assassination on Kavanaugh the other day.
	Do you think you might be doing exactly what you're accusing them of doing?
	Like, why did you name...
	Sorry, let's go back up there, because she names the woman who runs Libs of TikTok, right?
	Yeah, I can't remember her name.
	Chaya Raychikawa.
	Why are you naming her like that, as if you think you're not painting a target on them, like they did with Kavanaugh?
	They know, they just don't care.
	Because it's the opposition, and therefore they can die.
	Anything that happens to us is wrong.
	Yes, exactly.
	Even name-calling.
	So she says, we get a lot of, what are you talking about?
	All they're doing is posting libs in their own words.
	Which is, again, still happening.
	That's all she's done, which is posting libs in their own words.
	Which is, we want to set up drag queen events.
	Some more lewd than others, let's say.
	And preschool kids invited, please.
	What?
	The Libs' own words.
	And Libs of TikTok exposes that.
	There's also the funny response to this, which I saw Taylor Lawrence trying to claim that she's a working-class hero.
	Can you think why?
	No.
	She's from a working class background, don't you know?
	Well, what's her working class background?
	Being in a Swiss boarding school that costs quite a lot of money.
	Oh, really?
	Swiss boarding school.
	Typical of the working class background that I came from, incidentally.
	If we go to the next one here, you can see Taylor defending herself.
	If we click on the first one, there's just her being like, don't you know, I went to public school my entire life, but I do one short study abroad programming for US kids, and I'm a member of the European elite.
	Whoa.
	You do write, or you did write for the New York Times, or no, Washington Post.
	I still does.
	And if you go to the next image here...
	I thought she...
	Oh no, someone else had quit.
	We can see the fact...
	What is that study abroad that she did?
	Before you Google, I went to a small private Swiss boarding school.
	Tuition is $90,000.
	What?
	Being surrounded by privilege only highlighted the immense disparity between what I grew up with and what others didn't.
	It's why it's so important to understand the personal experiences are not universal.
	How did you end up getting to the small private Swiss boarding school?
	90 grand.
	This is like a small loan of a million dollars.
	Yeah.
	I only went to a small private boarding school in Switzerland for my childhood.
	Like Kim Jong-un.
	Yeah.
	Incidentally.
	We probably met him, actually.
	Oh, how are you doing?
	I'm also a member of the working class.
	Ridiculous.
	Well, that's the joke.
	Yeah, and then we have the final smear I wanted to demonstrate that the leftists have been up to in regards to lots of TikToks.
	They're trying to get her killed, presumably.
	She's had to flee her home for people who might not know.
	Yeah.
	Safe location.
	And this smear here is strange.
	As you can see from Media Matters, an openly, well, harassment organization, frankly, they say, Right-wing media are fear-mongering about Title IX protections for LGBTQ students that have been fortified under the Biden administration.
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, it sounds like they're mocking us, using the term fortified.
	Yes, it does.
	The right-wing fury towards Title IX protections has led to threats of violence, including a bomb threat that shut down a Wisconsin middle school, forcing students to complete the year virtually.
	I mean, isn't that horrible?
	It does sound terrible, yeah.
	How could the right-wing do this?
	I mean, the right-wing, seeing us trying to protect the holy left, just protect innocent homosexual people, and then they just start sending in bomb threats to the school.
	I mean...
	Incidentally, when I was at the Mythicist event in 2018, it got temporarily put out because of a bomb threat there.
	It's as if these bomb threats didn't go one way, but okay, fine.
	Yeah, but there's also just the fact of, there we go, how can the right wing do this?
	Again, the right wing keeps shutting down these horrible, no, wonderful events in which we only do virtuous things.
	If we go to the next link here, we can see why the public was so upset, and it shouldn't have just been the right wing that were upset in regards to this.
	A Wisconsin school district filed a Title IX complaint against three middle school students, accusing them of sexual harassment for using the incorrect pronouns when addressing another student.
	But it's not sexual harassment when some nonce drag queen is like, by the way, you're going to have to sit here while I read your story and sing about how you're going to suck my D. No, no, that's not sexual harassment.
	That's propriety.
	Getting your children to put tenors in a drag queen's thong is also not sexual harassment.
	It's nothing wrong with that.
	It's child abuse.
	That's progression, as we are told.
	Whereas what happened here, I mean, we won't play the clip, but what happened is there was a 13-year-old boy, who's that daughter's boy there, and he was being screamed at by one of the other students who insisted they were non-binary, and the 13-year-old boy was like, What are you, stupid?
	And the non-binary student was like, call me they, them.
	And the 13-year-old was like, it's my constitutional right to not go to hell.
	Smart 13-year-old.
	Apparently that is all true.
	So that's the funny thing.
	But then the fact the school responded by charging the student, the 13-year-old boy, with sexual harassment because of that.
	Because he said it's my constitutional right, including two other boys.
	Call me they or you're raping me.
	Yes, and the school did that, and then the story blew up because the school is obviously in the wrong, and people like Lives of TikTok told people that this had happened, and then people who are not connected, or even told to do so by the evil right, send apparently bomb threats to this school, and it gets shut down.
	It's like, how could the right-wing do this?
	I mean, again, number one, no one in the right called for that.
	So, right out of the gate, didn't happen.
	And as for what caused this to blow up, well, that's the left-wing ideology at play.
	Which is the gender ideology of saying that, call me the right pronouns or you're a rapist.
	I mean, I would have thought the fact that this is an obvious injustice is what caused this to blow up.
	The three 13-year-old boys.
	Yeah.
	I mean, clearly members of the patriarchal elite, presumably.
	And also clearly, you know, the person going, use my pronouns or else, is someone who has been groomed by the left.
	But there we have it.
	That is, uh, what I, summing up there, is the right-wing backlash to the drag schools.
	And it has been good.
	We've also seen a lot of, uh, well, legislators bring forth bills to get rid of that.
	Yeah.
	And make it illegal, so.
	But, I mean.
	Right in the future, perhaps.
	I, well, maybe.
	But I've seen this, it's like, well, maybe we should make these child drag shows illegal.
	It's like, aren't they already illegal?
	I would have thought so.
	Yeah.
	Don't you already have laws that say you can't show sexual content to children?
	I guess we'll find out in the courts.
	Yeah, I suppose you will.
	Anyway.
	So there is a demented old man who is currently destroying the greatest country on Earth.
	And I just thought we'd go through some of it, because why not?
	Why not just have a look at how our greatest and closest ally is cratering as fast as they can straight into the floor, just like his approval ratings are.
	And just see just how bad it is and how weak the lies in his defense have become.
	Because it is remarkable just how paper-thin the narratives that are trying to defend him are.
	But before we start, if you want to support us, go to lowseas.com and enjoy this new book club that we've done of The A-Human Manifesto by Patricia McCormick.
	I had a lot of fun doing this because this is absolutely bonkers.
	Basically, it's a manifesto.
	It's 192 pages that can be summarized in the words, kill yourself.
	And that's addressed not to any individual.
	That's addressed to humanity collectively.
	Was it like working in a psych ward?
	Oh no, it's way worse than that.
	This is a very calm and reasoned manifesto as to why you should in fact kill yourself as a species.
	And the reason this matters though, the reason this is pertinent to what we're talking about now, is because Biden's entire agenda is based on this philosophy.
	That human beings are the problem for the planet, for nature, for the universe itself.
	And so really, wouldn't it be better for all life if we're going to do a moral calculus of like, you know, the grand total of suffering in the universe?
	Well, humans are causing all of this suffering, you see.
	And so many, since all suffering in the universe is confined to the Earth, we can just use that as our basic metric of consideration.
	So the Earth is suffering because, you know, Climate change, global warming, pollution, and then you've got wars and violence, and then you've got the vegan agenda, the enslaved animals that are suffering every day so you can eat a juicy steak.
	It's like, look, it's just right that for the collective suffering of the earth, mankind just die.
	That's the point of this book, and it is glorious to read.
	It is so funny.
	I can't recommend it highly enough.
	But that's Biden's position.
	And so this is basically why Biden's like, right, the US has got to die, because the US, being the most successful country on the earth, well, that's the pinnacle of human achievement so far, as someone who is anti-human might say.
	And they'd be like, well, this needs to go.
	Look at this industrial powerhouse that's consuming the world's resources at the very top of this pyramid.
	If we can take out that, then the whole thing crumbles and mankind will eventually die out and it'll be glorious.
	So the first thing to do is, of course, punish people who are doing the right thing.
	Let's go through a few of these.
	So you remember a couple of years ago, the border agents at the Texas border were intercepting illegal immigrants from Haiti and how they arrived there.
	Long swam.
	Yeah, long swim.
	The Texan coastline they arrived at?
	Yeah.
	But I don't know why they're fleeing from Haiti either.
	I mean, this is the glorious revolution against the white oppressor.
	Why do you want to end up in a country that's a white supremacy?
	I have been reliably informed by left-wing activists.
	They don't even have dirt cookies in the United States.
	No, exactly.
	Why are you going there?
	But anyway, the evil board patrol were like brilliant black people.
	We can treat them as slaves and went around whipping them, according to the media.
	Now, that's not what happened, but that doesn't matter.
	Someone clearly in New York just made that up.
	Yeah, as if people in Texas don't know what a black person is.
	I bet the guys in Texas are just whipping them.
	It's like, should we print that?
	What?
	That's literally what was alleged.
	I mean, it's like a Babylon Bee article, where they just sat around in the boardroom, made something up, and the Border Patrol agents started shouting just like my grandpoppy used to do, presumably.
	And he broke out the switch, and that was it.
	And Joe Biden heard about this, and was like, well, they're going to have to pay.
	And the Border Patrol agent was like, what?
	Because, I mean, if you can go back up to the pictures, you can see that it was the horse's reins that was being misrepresented as a whip.
	That's not a cat and nine tails?
	That's not, no.
	That's actually not.
	And you can see he's not actually lassoing him.
	He's reaching out to grab him.
	And he is an illegal immigrant, so he should be detained.
	I imagine leftist thing, the border is essentially Red Dead Redemption 2.
	Just people running around, lassoing them.
	That's exactly it.
	Not people, black people.
	White agents are lassoing black people and therefore racism, right?
	And so the border agents had been investigated, cleared of any wrongdoing, because they didn't do anything wrong, but that didn't matter because Joe Biden had committed.
	I mean, Maxine Waters, the most sane Democrat in America, said, quote, this was worse than what we'd witnessed in slavery.
	Do we need to say anything to that?
	I feel like that does itself.
	I think that says everything.
	And after hearing this, I suppose, Joe Biden was like, well, those people will pay.
	And so without any evidence or due process, Joe Biden was like, yeah, I'm going to get those Border Patrol agents.
	Like, mate, they're your Border Patrol agents.
	They're yours.
	They are part of the United States' governmental apparatus.
	You know, you pay for them.
	Imagine Maxine Waters.
	She spills her drink and she's like, well, this is the Holocaust.
	But the journalist who took the pictures that were being misrepresented is a man called Paul Rache.
	And he had to come out and say, look, there was no one whipping anyone.
	I didn't see them whip anyone with anything.
	Nor did you.
	And I was taking the photos that you were using to claim that people were being whipped.
	It's obviously not true.
	But anyway, so you think, okay, well, that obviously got dropped after they were investigated, found they did nothing wrong.
	The person who took the photos, they're claiming being whipped.
	And the people, is the person exonerating them?
	No, not at all.
	Biden's going to carry on with this for some reason.
	Who's he going to punish?
	The people who didn't whip anyone.
	That's who he's going to punish.
	What, every American?
	Biden's Department of Homeland Security is preparing to discipline the Border Patrol agents involved in the purported whipping accident incident last year on the Rio Grande, which Nevada's newly minted Republican Senate nominee called a despicable failure to acknowledge reality.
	I mean, it is.
	You should have been whipping them, damn it.
	Yeah, but look at this insane person who is in charge.
	But now he's committed to the virtue signal, even though that wasn't true, and so now you are going to have to get in trouble, right?
	So, this is just incredible, right?
	So, I mean, the former Nevada State Attorney General, Adam Laxalt, was like, this is absolutely despicable that they would do this.
	We all know that we have an open border, and I can tell you that in Nevada, it's one of our top issues.
	People cannot believe this administration is doing such a terrible job.
	They are fed up with these kind of lies.
	And that's probably true.
	I imagine there are a lot of people who are fed up with these kinds of lies because this is an open lie.
	And Biden's committing to punishing people for nothing, right?
	But the worst part is, when they file their lawsuit against this, if you can get to the next one, in this lawsuit, the Biden administration lawyers, quote, argue the agents did not treat the Haitians any differently to any other group of immigrants.
	In their own lawsuit about this, they're not even arguing that they did anything wrong.
	In its motion to dismiss, the Biden administration said the Haitian migrants could not prove they sustained any actual or imminent injury as a result of the Border Patrol's actions.
	Biden's counsel also rebuked claims of discrimination, saying the administration had not treated plaintiffs differently on the basis of race or nationality.
	So when Biden was like, oh, they're going to pay for this, so he gets his lawyers to file something.
	And they're like, yeah, well, they didn't whip them and they didn't discriminate against them because of their race.
	Do you reckon the lawyers are just doing it because he's told them to, so they're like, we've got to do it.
	We've got to file something.
	But we'll make it as bad as possible, because there's nothing that's happened.
	The lawyers have got to be like, well, I can't just lie.
	I'm not the president.
	I can't just go on TV and lie about it.
	What is it, de-barred or whatever?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Nothing will happen to Joe Biden over these lies.
	So, understandably, the patrol agents are just not happy about this at all.
	I mean, you can go to the next one.
	Furious is the term that's being used in multiple news sources to describe this.
	But they're probably also furious that there just isn't a southern border anymore.
	There just isn't one, right?
	If you go to the next one, 239,000 migrants crossed the southwest border into the U.S. in May.
	One month.
	You can see it by month.
	It's somewhere, you know, like in 2019, it's like 50k to 100k, 150k.
	But then this year, you can see it's just like going up to 250k roughly a month.
	And it's just like, it's hundreds of thousands per month coming over the US border because Biden has basically been like, yeah, screw your border.
	The Border Patrol agents are racist.
	We're going to punish them for not whipping the Haitians.
	I mean, you've said it before.
	You can see it in real time, though.
	Just the moment Biden is inaugurated, that January on the blue line there, it spikes and it just keeps going.
	Yeah.
	Keeps going.
	Yeah.
	And it's now at record levels.
	And so there isn't the Southern Border now.
	But anyway, so then moving on, what else is Biden doing to ruin the United States other than just allowing everyone on Earth to live there?
	Well, he's lying about the petrol prices, obviously.
	Gas prices, as Americans would call it.
	There's been a big rearguard action by, we'll just call it the left-wing media, the mainstream media, the establishment media on this.
	And it's embarrassing because everyone can see that this is a consequence of Biden.
	As CNN, quote, one professor of business administration and public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, So not someone from a red state to get their opinion on this.
	No, no, no.
	We go to the Californian universities.
	At this point, there is no plausible connection between Biden becoming president and increasing gasoline prices, says Severin Borenstein.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Borenstein.
	Thank you for that brilliant input.
	I mean, there is, what the New York Post have compiled for us, a quick and dirty list of, well, maybe it's something that Biden has done, and maybe Biden just keeps saying he's going to do this as well while he does it.
	He did it on the campaign trail.
	Yes.
	This is a promise made and a promise kept, friends.
	That is exactly true.
	You can't say that he's not fulfilling his promises.
	When Biden was running for president, he promised to shut down oil producers.
	No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, he pledged.
	And he pledged to put the country on an irreversible path to doing away with fossil fuels.
	You're going quite far down that road, Biden.
	I mean, like you say, at the end of the day, you might have been lying about the other thing, but you're at least, you know, you've got the courage of your convictions on day one.
	Well, no, it's actually somewhat.
	I am a little, you know, as terrible as it is, I am slightly pleased that the people who are obsessed with this ideological perspective on energy, like they don't do it because of serious cares about how the world should work, but instead an ideological perspective.
	I'm kind of glad they're getting their comeuppance here.
	The fact that you are getting the payment that you so desperately want.
	Absolutely.
	But notice the perspective.
	It's not for what is good for the American people.
	What is good for human beings?
	No.
	And, you know, low oil prices is good for human beings.
	For Gaia.
	It's for Gaia.
	That's exactly the right way of framing it.
	Anyway, they say, on day one as president, Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, sending the message of no new pipelines anywhere, period.
	In the months that followed, he stopped all sales of leases to drill on federal lands or offshore, meaning zero new leases allowing oil to be brought out of the ground.
	And this is what Jen Psaki was lying about before she left the position of perpetual permanent liar to the media.
	And in September, House Democrats introduced legislation to stop banks from lending money or investing capital for new or expanded fossil fuel production.
	That legislation hasn't passed, but it sent a clear message.
	The oil industry is being shut down.
	Biden actually confessed his plan six weeks ago, when gas was already $4 a gallon.
	He marveled at the incredible transition of the US economy away from fossil fuels.
	God willing, when it's over, we'll be less reliant on fossil fuels.
	Whose fault is this?
	I mean, people should start making fake adverts with the Democratic Party.
	You know, promises made, promises kept, and it's just like, we destroyed the oil industry.
	We said we were going to, and there we are.
	There you have it.
	And the FTC has concluded several times that gas prices are a result of market conditions, not illegalities.
	Rising demand and inadequate supply.
	CNN like, well, there's just no proof there.
	And of course, you've got Biden basically threatening the oil companies as well, with the use of emergency powers.
	American oil companies don't increase output of their refineries.
	It's like, well, maybe if you weren't so fixed on whittling the industry down to nothing, they would have been able to do that, like they were under Trump.
	It's like, for some reason, he thinks they hate profit.
	I mean, I did see him arguing about this on, what is it, the Jimmy Kimmel show, and his argument was that...
	How embarrassing.
	Yeah, they're actually, the oil companies are trying to keep the price high on purpose to try and screw over the American people, so they're doing it to harm me, and it's like, what?
	Like, why would they not want to make more money?
	It's like he doesn't understand that if you sell 1,000 units at $10 or 100,000 units at $3, you make a lot more money selling the 100,000 units.
	Well, I don't see why he would.
	He's a bloody Democrat.
	But anyway, as you say, he blames the oil companies for this.
	And I've got a great quote because he sent a series of letters to oil CEOs on Wednesday demanding they increase output.
	It's like, well, you could sign more drilling.
	Off if you wanted.
	But no, you're placing all of the blame on these oil CEOs who I'm sure are like, no, I don't want to drill for oil.
	You think I do run an oil company?
	You know, like my passion is an origami.
	It'd be bad for the environment, wouldn't it, Joe?
	but he says this quote there is no question that vladimir putin is principally responsible for the intense financial pain the american people and their families are bearing biden wrote but amid a war that has raised gasoline prices more than 1.70 per gallon historically high refinery profit marginings are worsening that pain that's right Vladimir Putin is responsible for this.
	I mean, it just hurts to listen to, doesn't it?
	It's such a transparent lie.
	Why didn't Vladimir Putin do it when Trump was in charge?
	Putin has been in charge of Russia for decades now.
	Why didn't he do it at any other point until you got into office and shut down all the oil drilling?
	Like, why didn't he do it before then?
	Why was it contingent on you shutting down all this stuff?
	Anyway, let's get into the Putin price hike, because this is, of course, what Joe Biden has loved to call this.
	And even Yahoo, like, you know, mainstream, like, you know, usually cooperative sources are like, well, that's kind of not true, is it?
	Vladimir Putin isn't the one responsible for printing dollars, Joe.
	I mean, you probably would outsource it to him if you could.
	When Joe Biden took the oath of office in January 2021, the consumer price index was 1.4% higher than it had been 12 months earlier.
	Because of COVID and lockdowns.
	A month later, inflation had bumped that to 1.7.
	By April, it was above 4% and then 5% in June, 6% in October, 7% in December.
	Not good.
	By January 20th, 2022, it was 7.5%.
	So Biden's first anniversary as president.
	More than a month later, so there we go, right?
	So Biden's first year of presidency, it literally is like six times higher than when he came in, okay?
	Then Vladimir Putin launches his invasion of Ukraine.
	In February.
	How do you explain the Putin price hike before the invasion?
	Joe?
	Just out of interest?
	It's pre-Putin.
	You know, like COVID, you've got post-COVID, you've got pre-Putin as well.
	I guess you do!
	And so, inflation is now in America 8.5%, a 40-year high.
	As the dispatch observed on Thursday, Mahalud Ali was still boxing the last time a CPI report was this bad.
	The White House blames the cost of soaring goods and services in the war in Ukraine.
	Putin's price hike...
	The President and his spokespeople call it.
	Again, it's so transparently not true.
	I mean, I remember, I think it was with Nick, we went through just the specific things that United States Federal Reserve or the United States government did.
	They print all the dollary dues.
	We'll go through that in a second.
	The specific ones, but it's just the idea that if you say that Putin is in charge of that, I mean, I know that all the memes about Putin hacking every election on Earth, but then he's also controlling the Senate and the House and everyone else.
	Why did you give him the keys to the Federal Reserve?
	I mean, he didn't take that, right?
	But anyway, so they say, but inflation has been accelerating through Biden's presidency.
	It was already his highest level in more than a generation when the Ukraine invasion began.
	Russia's dictator is guilty of many crimes, but the dwindling purchase power of the American dollar is one outrage that can't be laid at his feet.
	Duh.
	And Fox Business just give us the details on this.
	Inflation, as we learned from our elementary school economics textbooks, is too many dollars chasing too few goods.
	And so they just explain what Biden has done.
	Firstly, the three massive spending bills flushed the economy this year already, and mostly financed with debt.
	The $1.9 trillion blue state bailout bill, the $1.2 trillion infrastructure green energy bill, and then the $1 trillion COVID relief bill.
	Where's this inflation coming from?
	New idea.
	As an economist called Larry Summers, who served in both Clinton and Obama administrations, accurately predicted, so this would be a far-right, Republican, evil economist, that Fox would quote, these trillions of extra dollars sloshing around in the economy would raise inflation much more than President Biden or the Fed.
	Print money.
	Money worth less.
	Don't know why I have to explain that.
	Again, it's just basic supply and demand value.
	If I have five things, and people are like, oh, that sounds really good, I'll pay you $50 for those things, and then I have 500 of those things, people are like, why am I going to have to pay $50?
	I'm not going to do it.
	I'm going to have to pay...
	Anyway, moving on.
	Biden himself, though, as I said, he was a demented old man, and I mean it.
	There are so many examples at this point of Biden just being unable to finish sentences.
	Now, I appreciate that there are a lot of people like, well, Trump isn't exactly the greatest speaker.
	Ooh, that's true.
	Everyone messes up every now and again.
	Yep.
	But it's, you know, multiple times per minute is worse.
	And literally just to end on, like, long pauses and then go, no, I've lost that train of thought.
	It's just gone.
	It's just gone.
	And, I mean, this just...
	It keeps happening.
	Like, over and over.
	If you go to the next one, again, this has been happening for the last...
	Well, his entire time in office, incidentally.
	Even, like, 2021, where he just keeps flubbing stuff over and over, and he just can't pronounce things.
	And, like, if you go to the next one, the Kleptocracy one was hilarious as well.
	I mean, I could play you a collection of these, because there are loads of compilations of him literally not being able to speak, and blubbering something for, like, you know, 30 seconds.
	He's just like...
	I don't understand a word of what he said there, but he's degenerating in real time, and it's genuinely embarrassing.
	But then you get, like, is he even walking around properly?
	He keeps standing around, like, lost and then falling upstairs.
	This is the one in 2021.
	It happened again the other day in 2022, where he's just stumbling around.
	It's like, okay, look, this degenerating old man with a crazy agenda, an anti-human agenda, is genuinely driving this country into the ground.
	And so, okay, well...
	If you are a Biden partisan in the media, what do you do?
	What do you do?
	Don't worry, he'll be gone soon.
	No, exactly.
	No, because he's vowed to run in 2024.
	Well, that's the thing.
	If he was seven years in...
	81 million votes, folks.
	If he's seven years in and you start fumbling every word you ever say and you can't walk, you'd be like, he's going soon.
	Don't worry about it.
	Just vote Democrat, right?
	But when you're a couple of years in and it's transparent...
	A couple of years in the first term and he's promised to be there for the second term.
	We go to the next one.
	You see, it's literally leave Joe Biden alone meme.
	I mean, this isn't a fake article.
	This is a real article.
	Is the image real?
	No, the image isn't real.
	That's John's meme.
	But that's basically what this is.
	If you can go to the article, let's get this quote.
	I think he's done a pretty good job, especially given the fact that he's dealing with a pandemic.
	Revelations about an American attempted coup d'etat and an economic slowdown over which he had no control.
	Nothing he could have done.
	If only there was someone who could have done something to influence legislation in the United States.
	Anyone!
	Superman, presumably!
	If only someone hadn't spent all that time trying to stop oil production in the United States.
	Or stop signing those bills that printed trillions and trillions of dollars.
	Don't worry, that's got Putin's signature, not his.
	Just can't believe him.
	But thankfully, the one upshot of all of this, the American public are becoming very, very aware who is the problem in the United States.
	And they know that it's Joe Biden.
	And so he is now finally, despite having North Korean levels of media support, Finally, less popular than Donald Trump, who had the opposite of North Korean levels of popular support in the media.
	Joe Biden's ratings are now only at 39.7%.
	39.7% of America think he's doing a good job.
	I mean, frankly, I'm amazed it's that high.
	Yes.
	I mean, like, literally, over a third of the country are like, yeah, he's going pretty well.
	It's like, really?
	What planet do you live on?
	I mean, imagine the little dog just sat there with fire all around with a Joe Biden shirt and a cap on.
	Exactly.
	And this is fine.
	And so, but I mean, as these things, because I mean, America's got this vast partisan divide between two thirds of the country.
	And so like the third of the, it's whittling down to just the partisan Democrats who are just like, no, everything's great.
	Shut up.
	You know, really gritting their teeth as they say it.
	It's something like 54% are against as well.
	So it's quite bad.
	It's not even like there's a large portion of people like that.
	I just don't care.
	No, everyone thinks it sucks.
	Bring back the orange man, basically.
	But that's how Joe Biden is just destroying America.
	There's no question of it.
	Just love the idea.
	It was 2024.
	Old man or orange man?
	Just bring back the mean tweets, for Christ's sake!
	Anyway, we shall move on to Amber Heard's dumbass interview.
	I don't know why she did this, but she took the big L and then decided to leave and go and, well, do one interview.
	And presumably she thought it would be a softball, nice, easy, friendly media who care about wahmen's opinions, that they are always the victims.
	And then she got some of that.
	But even with that, she came off as a lying, deceiving piece of S. And it was even worse than you might expect.
	So we'll start off just with a plug on the website here, being the analyzing what is a woman from Matt Walsh there that you and Harry did together, which I think we have to keep in mind, women's rights and their place in all this as well.
	Well, I'd like to know what Amber Heard thinks a woman is at this point, to be honest.
	That'd be another good interview.
	That'd be a good question, actually, just in the middle of it.
	So you just lost your case.
	How about we get you into more S? If you go to the next one here, you can see the original piece in which she was, well, slandering, sorry, libeling Johnny Depp here.
	Officially.
	Legally.
	And they have an editor's note now on this article that says, A jury found Amber Heard liable on three counts for the following statements, which Depp claimed were false or defamatory.
	The first one being, I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture's wrath.
	This has to change.
	It's just not true.
	And the third one being the most interesting there as well, saying, I had the rare vantage point of seeing in real time how institutions protect men accused of abuse by asking for the evidence.
	And when it's not produced, saying that the woman might have been lying.
	Yeah, so she's a lying abuser, as the Washington Post had to admit.
	And for anyone who's been living under a rock for some reason, you might not know, Depp abused me, sued for libel, and lost.
	That's her story.
	So she decides to go for the accepting of the one weakest possible interview she could possibly get, presumably to try and take her shattered reputation and get something out of it.
	You know, her and the six Amber Heard stans are, well, fellow abusers, are not enough to rebuild her career, presumably.
	So she went on NBC here, and, well, it was weird.
	And we'll start off with just a viral clip.
	Before we start off though, I mean, I have seen in my long life more than enough women who realise that the gig is up and they have to put on the sad face to try and get sympathy and that is the expression it is.
	Yes.
	She looks very much like she is desperately trying to claw something back from this colossal owl.
	I mean, what options do you have less if you're her?
	Admit defeat.
	Admit you were wrong.
	Admit you were lying.
	Admit you were abusing them.
	You know, you like actually have a sort of moment of redemption there and say, you know, I was wrong.
	I did the wrong thing.
	I mean, for legal reasons, you couldn't say that all my testimony was bull.
	But you could say that, okay, I know I've done some wrong and I need to atone for that.
	Yeah, I need to change.
	Or, you know, loose, broad language that gives off the appearance of you learnt a thing.
	Yeah.
	Well, we'll start off with one of the clips that went viral out of all this, which was weird, to say the least, but let's play it.
	In the closing arguments, the depth lawyer said, called your testimony the performance of a lifetime, and said you were acting.
	What do you say to that?
	Says the lawyer.
	For the man who convinced the world he had scissors for fingers?
	I saw that.
	I don't know.
	Four other million people saw that.
	I presumably thought it was bad editing or something to misrepresent.
	She really comes off as that crazy in this interview.
	But the little nod afterwards.
	I said it.
	That's what I mean.
	You're going to have to stand by that if you want to stand by women.
	It's like...
	Because that's what it means, you know?
	Like, you have to accept that.
	And it's like, but...
	I mean...
	Okay, Amber, right?
	Edward Scissorhands was a movie, right?
	No one thinks it was real.
	No one thinks he has scissors for fingers or whatever it was.
	Why would you say that?
	She's trying to argue that he's bad at acting, which...
	Doesn't work.
	But even then, it's not sort of...
	Says the lawyer for the man who persuaded the world he had scissors for hands.
	Or whatever he said.
	I mean, it's incomprehensible on its own, isn't it?
	That's not...
	That's not an allegation...
	That's not a response to...
	You were acting...
	Well, yeah, he's an actor.
	Yeah, okay, but maybe that's how he knows you were acting.
	He's a rather good actor, actually.
	I'm not sure he would know.
	Exactly.
	What an embarrassing foot-in-mouth moment.
	Yeah, so here's a link I found with just much of the interview I could, and we're going to go through some of the clips, because of staff, they decided that they could go for the...
	God, that's so stupid.
	We'll start off with the tough questions presumably NBC were coming out with being like, you know, we're going to do the right thing and try and nail her down and be like, look, just say sorry for Christ's sake.
	So they started off with a very tough question like, do you stand by your testimony?
	As if she was going to say no.
	So let's play that.
	It's been about more than a week since the verdict.
	As you sit here with me now, has it sunk in?
	How could it?
	Surreal and difficult, in part, yes.
	This has been a long time coming.
	Do you stand by your testimony and your accusations against Johnny Depp about abuse?
	Of course.
	I mean, I don't know what they were expecting, frankly, just to be a bit on the nose there, which is just like, do you stand by what you said?
	And if she was going to go, nah, it was all bollocks.
	Look how inauthentic she is.
	Yes.
	Come on, you look like a child.
	I try not to read the body language too much, but in her case, it's very evident.
	Totally fair.
	She thinks she's going to be able to ride this out.
	Yeah, this was going to be a nice interview where she could rebuild, like, don't you know I'm actually a victim of the court system?
	Yeah.
	And she goes on to argue many of the reasons why she has her excuses for losing, and why she is a victim, again, this time of the court system, because North of Domestic Amuse, that one's been settled.
	Yeah.
	And we'll play.
	I think the vast majority of this trial was played out on social media.
	I think that this trial is an example of that gone...
	Haywire gone amok.
	And the jury is not immune to that.
	You think the jury saw it?
	How could they not?
	I think even the most well-intentioned juror, it would have been impossible to avoid this.
	He says he never hit you.
	Never.
	Is that a lie?
	Yes, it is.
	What about the witnesses who said they have seen you Instigate physical violence.
	I've seen firsthand how people will file rank and support a person they depend on.
	Did they all come in and lie in court?
	I am not here to call any of his witnesses any names.
	There was another trial handled with the same, dealt with the same substantive issues that had even more evidence in.
	In fact, mine My evidence was largely kept out, really important pieces of evidence, kept out.
	Done differently, handled differently by a judge instead of a jury.
	Some evidence is admissible in a UK court that is not admissible in a US court.
	Do you think that maybe he just had better lawyers?
	I will say his lawyers did certainly a better job of distracting the jury from the real issues.
	That is amazing.
	So there's just a small compilation of the excuses as to why she lost.
	I'm not going to say they're all lying, but they were all lying.
	No.
	Yeah, so everyone else was lying.
	Everyone on the planet, presumably.
	Except for me.
	She then says that social media is to blame for why she lost.
	Not because of the evidence, but because people misrepresented her with the audio of her speaking.
	And also that the UK court system is more corrupt than the American one, and she won in the UK courts, dammit!
	The UK courts, there was evidence from Johnny Depp's side that they didn't have.
	They also could not put it there, but then she argues that in the UK court she was able to win.
	I mean, the amount of things we've covered in the UK court system.
	I'm not going to be frank, but I feel like our system is probably worse in this regards for finding the truth, and the truth was evident to anyone with ears.
	But I mean, why wouldn't her lawyers have been able to submit her evidence?
	They argued that there's some things you can't admit in different courts.
	I don't know the procedures there, but the evidence, which is all publicly available...
	Didn't get leaked to the internet or anything.
	No, but even if she couldn't admit...
	You know, if she couldn't give something over to the American court system, just publish it, you idiot.
	Yeah.
	And you don't, because bollocks.
	Like, what can you see as bollocks?
	Such an obvious cavalcade of lies.
	And then the last excuse being that, well, Johnny Depp's lawyers were just better.
	Which is true.
	Yeah.
	Okay, it's the one true thing you've said.
	Hang on, hang on.
	I don't actually undersell Amber Heard's lawyers here.
	They were given a really difficult case.
	Yeah.
	And especially when she called out Kate Moss on the stand, it was just like, oh, you see the lawyers just like, I mean, they were trying to polish a turd with an enormous amount of glitter.
	Yeah.
	And it just ran out of glitter, frankly.
	Oh, no, you've opened the door for Kate Moss to come out and beat her for us now as well.
	Jesus.
	Yeah, there's also the other defence, so if you're wondering in case you learnt a thing, she continued...
	I remember you spoke about her Instagram post in which she said, I thought this was America.
	Yeah.
	And then she decided to continue the Randy Marsh Brigade by arguing that, I thought it was America.
	This is the price for speaking the truth in a free country country.
	What people don't understand is it's actually so much bigger than that.
	This is not only about our First Amendment rights to speak.
	But here's the thing about the First Amendment.
	The First Amendment protects free speech.
	It doesn't protect lies that amount to defamation, and that was the issue in the case.
	Yes, exactly.
	Free speech does not protect you if you go into a crowded theater and you scream fire.
	We get the concept of free speech from the Greeks.
	My understanding of what that means is not just the freedom to speak.
	It's the freedom to speak truth to power.
	Freedom to lie about him.
	The truth is the word.
	Yes.
	And that was the issue.
	And that's all I spoke.
	And I spoke it to power and I paid the price.
	No one is buying that.
	I love that answer so much, because you can see it's such a moment of, oh my god, people in Hollywood are airheads.
	Like, you see her bringing out just statements that she's heard someone else say about free speech, and be like, well, if I just pitch them together, then I've got a sentence that's a defense.
	Does a woman not have a right to falsely accuse a man of rape?
	Yeah, that is obviously one aspect, but just when she brings up...
	It's a crime, Amber!
	You know, my understanding from the Greeks is like, what?
	As if anyone believes you've ever sat around and thought about free speech originating from the Greek republics or something like that.
	Socrates would have been in favour of my lies.
	She just brings out, what about fire in a crowded theatre?
	That's just not true.
	Yeah, that's not true either.
	This balls the crap out of me.
	I mean, every single American celebrity brings this up in some conversation.
	They have no idea what they're talking about.
	But I just love, what is it, Christopher Hitchens is the best one.
	He just goes to his crowded theatres where he used to give speeches and scream fire.
	To make the point, it's not illegal.
	Yeah.
	No, it's not.
	It's just bollocks.
	People just made this up because of that Supreme Court justice giving an example of a thing that he thought should be unconstitutional.
	But then, well, in his example, it was nonsense anyway because it was about the draft.
	Yeah.
	It's like, okay, well, that ends up getting...
	But for some reason, this has been adopted into popular culture saying, well, you can't scream fire without a crowd of theatre.
	It's like...
	You can.
	Go for it.
	No one dies, no one cares.
	And that's the point, again, that she just hasn't thought through her own argument.
	She's just bringing up things to try and sound smart.
	But Plato...
	Yes, don't you know?
	I paid the price for speaking truth to power.
	But that is kind of what she's appealing to, actually.
	It's the kind of platonic form of the oppressed woman by the patriarchal...
	Oh, come on.
	Like, she was thinking of that.
	Of course she wasn't.
	She stumbled into that.
	Of course she wasn't thinking of that.
	But that is what she's trying to appeal to with this.
	No, she's been thinking about the platonic forms of oppressed women.
	I'm not saying that she knows any of this, but that is what she's appealing to, and it is genuinely funny.
	Appealing to it.
	She's doing it when she says, oh, speaking truth to power on the male patriarchy.
	Yeah, I mean, she's a moron who's walked into an argument but doesn't know the argument.
	That's just not true.
	Something Plato said was wrong.
	The truth to power part, though.
	I mean, who's got the power?
	It was her.
	Evidently, she was the one who ruined Depp's reputation.
	She made the allegations.
	She got in de-platformed from Pirates of the Caribbean.
	Who can do that?
	Yeah.
	How could I get Johnny Depp to platform Pirates of the Caribbean?
	Swanning around for years afterwards like she did nothing wrong.
	I mean, got away with it.
	And she'd already got millions from him.
	Got away with it in the UK court system, even though the evidence is overwhelming.
	Apparently the judge had been eating too many crayons.
	And then continues to swan about as if she's done nothing wrong.
	It's unbelievable.
	She's like, well, don't you know I don't have power?
	The privilege of these women.
	Shocking, isn't it?
	But also, just if you can't shout fire in a crowd of theatre, but should you be able to libel?
	Anyway, let's go to the next one, which we have her insisting that the op-ed she wrote wasn't about Johnny Depp now.
	Ah, and the draft that it was, though.
	In the initial draft, it literally named him, and they took it out.
	Yeah, and even though that evidence is public, she now publicly insists that it was never about him.
	Presumably it was about Joe Biden or someone.
	Someone else rammed a glass bottle in your foof then, did they?
	Yeah.
	Trump, when he was grabbing me by the...
	Let's play.
	I took for granted what I assume was my right to speak.
	Do you feel like you could be sued again by him for defamation?
	I'm scared that no matter what I do, no matter what I say or how I say it, every step that I take will present another opportunity for this sort of silencing, which is what I guess a defamation lawsuit is meant to do.
	It's meant to...
	Stop you lying!
	To take your voice.
	It was important for me not to make it about Him or to do anything like defame him.
	I had lawyers, teams of lawyers review all the drafts of this.
	When you wrote this op-ed, it was the height of Me Too.
	Legions of powerful men being canceled, losing their jobs.
	Did you want that to happen to Johnny Depp?
	Of course not.
	Of course not.
	It wasn't about him.
	That is just...
	I mean, it staggers me how she continues to just publicly lie still.
	As if nothing has happened.
	I'm worried that he's going to sue me again for defamation.
	Is it because you're still lying about him assaulting you, Abba?
	Yeah.
	And you go on the news and you're like, yeah, so Johnny did beat me and rape me and all of the people who supported him and said they'd never seen it, they were all lying too.
	So everyone is lying and this is exactly the same set of defamatory lies that I told that got me sued in the first place that were proven to be lies that I'm going to tell again.
	And yes, I am worried that I'm going to get in trouble for this again.
	So yeah, big brain time, Amber.
	I mean, even Akilah Hughes wasn't this brazen.
	I'm just going to continue to, well, provably break the law in this regard.
	Once the judgment comes down, she at least shuts her mouth.
	Yeah, did Jolly Death beat you?
	Yes, he did.
	Okay, we're going to court.
	No, he didn't.
	Okay, well, yes, he did again.
	We'll go back to court then.
	I really hope he sees her again.
	This interview would be the funniest thing.
	She'd deserve it.
	Why is she going to hug you as well?
	There's more evidence somewhere by Fufu, presumably.
	Put it out!
	I want to see it!
	Yeah, don't you know defamation law is meant to stop you lying?
	How horrible is that?
	That's kind of the point of the whole thing.
	But also, the op-ed was not about Johnny Depp.
	As you say, even though publicly, first draft named him.
	Hordes of lawyers overlooked the damn thing.
	Bollocks that up, clearly.
	This should be fine, Amber.
	Trust us.
	Don't worry, when we get to court, we'll win for you.
	We get paid either way, so...
	Good lawyers.
	Good lawyers who did the good thing, which is bankrupt a horrible woman, frankly.
	And if we go to the next one, there's also just...
	She continues to lie in this goddamn interview over things that even the interviewer, who's obviously somewhat sympathetic and not asking the hardball questions, is just calling her out on it and just being like, what?
	I've got the transcript, you dumbo.
	Let's play.
	You were the abuser.
	That you instigated physical violence.
	Did you?
	I never had to instigate it.
	I responded to it.
	You say you were responding, but there is evidence.
	There are tapes in which you acknowledge hitting.
	There are tapes in which you say, I started the fight.
	I know much has been made of these audio tapes.
	They were first leaked online after being edited.
	What you would hear in those clips are not evidence of what was happening.
	It was evidence of a negotiation of how to talk about that with But I am looking at a transcript that says, he says, you start physical fights and you say, I did start a physical fight.
	I can't promise you I won't get physical again.
	I mean, this is in black and white.
	I understand context.
	But you're testifying and you're just telling me today, I never started a physical fight.
	And here you are on tape saying you did.
	As I testified on the stand about this, is that when your life is at risk, Not only will you take the blame for things that you shouldn't take the blame for, but when you're in an abusive dynamic psychologically, emotionally, and physically, you don't have the resources that, say, you or I do with the luxury of saying, hey, this is black and white, because it's anything but when you're living in it.
	But then there are other times, there's another tape where you're taunting him and saying, oh, tell the world, Johnny Depp, I, a man, am the victim of domestic violence.
	The 20-second clips or the transcripts of them are not representative of even the two hours or the three hours that those clips are excerpt from.
	Could your side have just put the whole three hours in then?
	I'm not a lawyer.
	She goes on to peddle about how she doesn't know what she's doing, and it's like, obviously.
	But I love that.
	It's just like the transcripts say that you're obviously an awful person who did this.
	You were saying to him that you hit him, and no one would believe that you hit him, so go ahead and tell everyone, because you look like an idiot.
	But what about the context?
	It's like, okay, why don't you just give us the full context?
	Well, I can't, because I don't know what I'm doing.
	That'd be devastating to my case, Your Honour.
	It's embarrassing.
	My own words are not representative of my word.
	She's so obviously the abuser.
	And this also continues.
	I mean, it's obvious in just that sequence there.
	But later on, again, with the donations thing, she just continues to lie to the interviewer, who's just looking at her like, are you serious?
	We're trying to help you clean up your act here, and even you're bungling this.
	Let's play.
	You had promised to donate the $7 million of your divorce settlement to charity.
	Pledged.
	It was revealed at trial that you haven't done so yet.
	However, they played a tape where you stayed on the air that you have donated it.
	Do you think that raised questions as to your credibility with the jury?
	I made a pledge and that pledge It's made over time by its nature.
	When you say, I donated, you know that everybody thinks that you've donated it, not that you've pledged it.
	So, for the jurors sitting there, do you think they felt like that was you getting caught in a lie?
	I don't know, because so much of the, I feel like so much of the trial was meant to Cast aspersions on who I am as a human, my credibility, to call me a liar in every way you can.
	That was the trial.
	It was a credibility contest.
	And that was a lie!
	That was it.
	This is another one of the examples where if you pull back and you think about it, I shouldn't have to have...
	Donated it in an effort to be believed.
	I shouldn't have had to earmark the entirety of that in order to have...
	You shouldn't have, but once you said you did.
	Right, which is where it was intended to go.
	Heard says she still plans to honor that pledge.
	Is a woman not entitled to lie about donating money to charity?
	Without having her character smeared, when it turns out she didn't.
	The whole case was about whether or not Amber Heard is a liar, and they showed in court that you were a liar.
	And it was like, well, shouldn't I be able to get away with lies?
	And it was like...
	No.
	That's what the court case is about, love.
	What is wrong with her?
	And then at the end, I mean, presumably they don't show us the bit of footage because it's, you know, cut up a bit.
	But they say that she then said she was going to continue to pay that money.
	With what money?
	Yeah, where do you get the money from, Amber?
	We went through her finances the other day.
	You haven't got any money.
	Well, she pledged.
	I think it was $7 million or something that she donated but didn't.
	How dare Johnny Depp's lawyer show publicly that I am a public liar?
	About a case in which the sole question is, is Amber Heard a liar?
	And that I'm terrible with money.
	Yeah.
	And then we'll end this off.
	So the next clip here is just that scissors hands bit, which was pretty weird.
	So I thought I'd play the full context just so you can see it.
	Yeah, it definitely is as weird as it looks.
	Let's play.
	In the closing arguments, the depth lawyer said, called your testimony the performance of a lifetime and said you were acting.
	What do you say to that?
	Says the lawyer...
	For the man who convinced the world he had scissors for fingers, I'm the performer.
	I had listened to weeks of testimony insinuating that or saying quite directly that, you know, I'm a terrible actress.
	So I'm a bit confused how I could be both.
	What, acting and a terrible actress?
	Yeah, that's the argument.
	How can I be putting on a performance if I'm bad at performing?
	That's how we know you're putting on a performance.
	That's how we know if you're a bad performer.
	Because we can tell you're performing, you friggin' moron!
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, it's ridiculous.
	So there is one moment, finally, at the end, in which there is some moment of responsibility.
	And it's because the interviewer, who has clearly just had enough with her S, even for herself...
	He just openly says, take some goddamn responsibility in much nicer way.
	Let's play.
	I asked his lawyers, why do you think you won?
	And the answer I got was, because she never took responsibility for anything she did in the marriage.
	I did do and say horrible.
	Regrettable things throughout my relationship.
	I behaved in horrible, almost unrecognizable to myself ways.
	I have so much regret.
	I freely and openly and voluntarily talked about what I did.
	I talked about the horrible language.
	I talked about being pushed to the extent where I didn't even know the difference between right and wrong.
	I will always Continue to feel like I was a part of this, like I was the other half of this relationship because I was.
	And it was ugly.
	And could be very beautiful.
	It was very, very toxic.
	We were awful to each other.
	You know, I made a lot of...
	A lot of mistakes.
	A lot of mistakes.
	But I've always told the truth.
	Oh, for God's sake.
	I mean, we're so close to some personal growth.
	I mean, she got to the point of, yeah, maybe I did something wrong, I don't know.
	But still can't I was awful in every way.
	I couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong.
	I did horrible things.
	I was toxic.
	But I always told the truth.
	In this very interview two minutes ago, lady, I've just listened to you lie to my face.
	I mean, it is unbelievable how little personal growth there is.
	The fact that she came afterwards and said, yeah, but I still love him.
	It's like, yeah, you're a liar.
	You're an abuser.
	That's what you are.
	We know you're the one who's abusing.
	It was toxic but beautiful.
	And he's the one who's trying to get away from it.
	Clearly.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But the victim would never say, you know, oh, it was toxic but beautiful.
	I loved being beat.
	Yeah, it's just not a thing.
	No, don't believe you.
	Ridiculously transparent there.
	But there you have it.
	There's her trying to defend her own reputation after all that.
	I thought it was fun to go through, if nothing else, and see that, well, there was a minuscule amount of personal growth, which is that maybe Amber Heard did something wrong, according to Amber Heard, after being found guilty of libel.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	I want to thank Callum for his insight about J.K. Rowling, how there is now a wrong type of woman, politically speaking.
	I also really enjoyed your episode with Zuby.
	Hope he comes back.
	Wanted to tell you, too, that the amendments in our Bill of Rights are absolute.
	They are explications of rights implicit in our Constitution.
	Finally, I believe I have found evidence of CCP agents in our entertainment media.
	I've posted that for free on an essay about Squid Game on Substack.
	Well, there you have it.
	Go check it out.
	The only thing I have in regards to the woman thing that I can remember, I've been reading a lot more of Douglas Murray, and I think it is true that we just need to start saying there are political women, political blacks, political whites.
	Like the progressive mindset, you know, with the capital thing and all that.
	I mean, it is just when we're talking about their worldview, that is how they see the world.
	Yeah, that is.
	To accurately describe it, it's not just being politically black anymore.
	Yeah.
	Politically all the identities.
	Yep.
	Well, 4 hours per week is indeed bullshit, coding 15 hours is as well, at least if you're Yes, we all do it sometimes, but if you develop software on a professional level, it is difficult on taxing, because you're not just hacking your way through a problem, but you actually have to properly design the system.
	In this regard, it is very similar to writing.
	If you're a professional developer, actually coding 4 hours per day is more realistic.
	There was a debate a while back.
	It seems kind of old now, to be honest.
	Which is about how long should Twitter employees be working, frankly.
	There was a guy who did, what was it, four hours a week?
	Something like that.
	He still got paid.
	Lucky him.
	That's Twitter for you.
	Yeah.
	- Okay, let's go next one. - So I took about a seven hour drive to Western Ohio to El Dora Speedway to walk some dirt light models with a friend of mine from Ohio.
	And quite honestly, it was one of the most fun experiences I've had in a while.
	Dirt Late Models are one of my favorite cars to watch and yes, we are standing right next to the fence and yes, they are driving right next to the wall.
	You can almost touch them as they're going by.
	How is it that people don't die watching that?
	It's dangerous.
	Maybe there's steel fencing or whatever the hell is there.
	Oh, those fences are not going to stop a car.
	Not those bits, I meant the bottom bits.
	But if it flips, then rip-a-roo, I guess.
	Yeah.
	Otherwise, turning left has never looked so good, frankly.
	I do like that versus NASCAR, for sure.
	Okay, next one.
	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
	Welcome to the podcast of The Lotus Thesis for Wednesday, the 15th of June, 2022.
	I'm Carl, and today I have the pleasure of being joined by Stan and Dan, the hosts of voiceofwales.com.
	Giant Carl.
	Hey, is that a new meme format?
	New meme format!
	Well, apparently it was because we're not set up to have three people yet, and the guys came in, we didn't want to leave them out, so they and the guys came in, we didn't want to leave them out, so they I thought they still had a restraining order against each other as well, so I didn't know they were both...
	Ah, no, they got around that, actually.
	Did they?
	Yeah, because Dan is Stan's carer.
	Oh, is he now?
	For people who have no idea what the hell we're talking about, it was the police put in an order that they couldn't be together, but now he's caring for the other ones.
	Yeah, but that's because they're being persecuted by the Welsh government.
	Yeah, it's unbelievable.
	See you next time.
	It's actually surprisingly boring making power armor and giant robots, mostly because it's all, you know, technical fiddly bits that, unless you're in the know, it's really confusing and, well, boring.
	But, you know, if you are interested in the process, I do have a video more or less detailing it on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash 9mechworks.
	You said this part I think is interesting, so...
	He's made his own waifu.
	Kiri.
	Why not?
	What the hell?
	What the hell is that?
	Where's he got a top hat?
	Where's he got a camera on the top hat as well?
	Why are you misgendering it?
	What?
	You said he.
	No, I didn't.
	So there's a waifu.
	Yeah, but then you said, why's he got a waifu?
	Oh, right, yeah.
	Well, who cares about what the progressives do?
	You know what's weird?
	You probably never would have noticed it before in humanity, and now gendering is something you constantly think about talking to people.
	Yeah, it's a pathology purely of the progressive left.
	No one else in all of human history cared about this.
	Apart from Elagabalus.
	See you next time.
	There you are.
	Took you long enough.
	No, man!
	Whoa, what happened to you?
	Hey, f* you, n*a!
	Alright, first of all, only I'm allowed to say that.
	You're not allowed to say that.
	You're so Caucasian, your hair is white.
	A, yes I can say that, I'm a black albino.
	You're a black albino?!
	What am I watching?
	I have no idea.
	Okay.
	Don't know what to say to that, but let's go to the next one.
	...of this crowd.
	That's biology professor Brett Weinstein, whose class was taken over last month by a group of students from the Evergreen State College.
	I was immensely disappointed with the students who obstructed his class.
	The president of the college, Dr.
	George Bridges.
	Tony D's ghost stories are hugely entertaining, but his book Wokistan is a true delight as it captures in a fictionalized campus what may have been behind the college and university uprisings over the last few years and wittily guesses at the possible motivations of those inciting the unrest.
	I just started to enjoy that old section clip there, because you can tell that whoever was speaking, like, you know, administrator or whoever it was, was sort of appealing to the fact there should be some kind of professional standards at university.
	Maybe.
	How quaint is that?
	Yeah.
	Maybe the student shouldn't have been obstructing class.
	You know, they did a survey a while ago, the other day, that something like half of university students think it's right to shout down people if they don't agree with them.
	That's disgusting.
	It's absolutely disgusting.
	It's okay, well there we go.
	You know, not only is that the norm, that's been the norm for years now.
	Yeah.
	That's the thing.
	Yeah, but literally all the students are like, well yeah.
	Wes is dead, man.
	Yeah.
	I found there's a website called, what is it, like 2000s TV, and you can go back and it's like a TV from the 2000s.
	You can change channel and check out what's going on.
	I just watched the news for a couple of hours.
	That's totally different.
	I never understood when people used to say, don't you remember when the news used to tell you the news?
	I had no idea what that meant.
	I sat there and watched some TV from like 9-11 and 2002 just watching them tell me what had happened and that was it.
	I was like, no.
	That's not what that means.
	They weren't telling me who was evil.
	But it's as soon as that as well.
	You don't have to go back to the 90s or 80s.
	Oh yeah, it's all very new.
	Still existed in the mid-2000s.
	You'll have to send me a link to that.
	It sounds really fascinating.
	The bizarre history of Ancora Psychiatric Hospital is nuts.
	And the only thing I can think of that's more nuts, the only other place, is a place called Gotham City.
	According to the DC Atlas, Gotham City is actually located in the Pine Barrens.
	Gotham City has Batman, we have the Jersey Devil.
	Gotham City has Arkham Asylum, we have the Ancora Psychiatric Hospital.
	Is life imitating art or is art imitating life?
	I'm guessing art is imitating life here.
	Probably, I guess too.
	Yeah, but that's fascinating.
	Okay.
	I didn't realize Gotham City was real.
	Go to the next one.
	Now that TT's over and done with, people have all gone home.
	It's time to get back to a bit of normality.
	I'm currently helping out with a charity called Heroes on the Water.
	It gets injured servicemen and blue light people out into kayaks.
	Really, it's meant to help out with mental issues and it seems to work.
	Is that alrighty?
	Good things.
	Always good to see good things.
	Go to the next one.
	Exercise is wholesome.
	So the thing about Corvus Korrax is that most of the interesting stuff for him is in the heresy itself.
	His entire legion gets its absolute shit pushed in.
	So he retreats to terror, and he wants to get back into the fight, but all his men are dead.
	So he clones them, and they all come out as horrific mutants.
	But they do the job well enough.
	After the heresy is over, he takes the personal responsibility of putting them all down.
	And after this, he flies off into the warp to hunt demons.
	He still hasn't popped out since.
	I didn't know anything about him.
	No, I didn't.
	Cool.
	Good to learn.
	Let's go to the written comments.
	Itachi of KonOa says, I just joined yesterday.
	I'm very excited to be here.
	Thank you for all your hard work.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Hope you're enjoying the proven content.
	Carbohydrate Crusader says, Christ, I hope all this drag queen stuff can cease from our schools before my kid ends up there.
	The lack of say we have over these things, being taught to children, is one of my greatest concerns as an expectant father.
	Have you had this experience with any of your kids at schools, Carl?
	Not drag queens, thank God.
	Bloody furiating.
	But there's a general woke, progressive overlay on top of it, but it's kind of thin, and you can see the kids are just like, yeah, okay, I'm not doing that.
	Like, my daughter came home one day, she said she's bye, then a few months later, she's like, I'm not doing that.
	And then now she's got a boyfriend.
	So there we go.
	Nature is healing.
	Robert says, regarding the right-wing backlash, in his classic book, How Should We Then Live?, Christine theologian Francis Schaeffer quotes from an 18th century English historian who wrote in the fall of the Roman Empire.
	I assume he's Gibbon.
	He lists the five main reasons why it collapsed.
	Love of show and luxury, widening gap between rich and poor, obsession with sex, freakishness in the arts, masquerading as originality, and increased desire to live off the state.
	Keep up the good work, Cloud, but it's over.
	The West is done for.
	Oh, is this the thing?
	I found you the TV. Oh, okay.
	Well, let's watch the news quickly.
	Just kidding, John, to set it up, because you also might have to flip a couple of channels, because a lot of them are filled with adverts, which are also, you know, wholesome, but the same thing.
	Go on, then.
	Let's see.
	...filed the $3 million lawsuit naming Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and its Zeta Iota chapter at ODU, as well as 17 members of the fraternity...
	ODU is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
	Hinson, who was a sophomore at the university, had no comment to 13 News, but his suit alleges he was hurt during a hazing incident at a Norfolk graveyard last year when he was thrown over a rope suspended about five feet above the ground.
	2003, sorry.
	Seems to agree.
	Nina Edwards.
	And the amount of times that video has been ripped off and repacked.
	If you skipped through the channels, you should find.
	Johnny's always right.
	The neurologist Justin Bruce.
	They're so weird.
	Looking back, it's almost, it's very forceful in a weird way.
	Oh, yeah.
	It was a different time.
	The world was insanely politicized.
	The Schultz family unveiled statues in St. Paul.
	Paul destined for sidewalks, plazas and parks of the city for the duration of the summer.
	We'll watch some of this later.
	So those are a lot of local ones, but if you flip through, you can get, you know, proper CNN and Fox News.
	Yeah, we'll find them.
	And it is, again, even on the national scale, just, here's what happened.
	It's weird to watch.
	Anyway, Brandon says, who brought the nonce?
	Can you put on a mask?
	Clown world priorities.
	That's a great point.
	I wonder if she's like, this is an event for children.
	You've got someone there who sings about children sucking their dick.
	It's like, yeah, but you're not wearing a mask.
	So...
	Mon Ping says, at least Lineshi cultists probably complain less about being attacked than the current crop of leftist pedos.
	Probably true.
	Edward the Rabbit Mage says, it's really upsetting that people don't seem to make the connection of, if you don't want people to know I'm doing this, perhaps I shouldn't be doing this.
	If you fear exposure for what you're doing, then you are doing something wrong.
	If this was harmless and even virtuous, this would not be the case, exactly.
	There are so many zealots in the culture war, and unfortunately, rather than an attempt to de-radicalise these people by presenting them with opposing views, Twister sees fit to also block dissenting opinions, so the narrative of this view of being reasonable is maintained.
	Baron von Warhawk says, Call me the right pronouns, you're a rapist, while the left is also allowing costumed paedophiles around children.
	Kevin M says, Parents exist.
	Libtards.
	It's a far-right militia.
	Yeah, I know, that was the thing.
	These seem like concerned parents to me.
	So it was a group of men, and I don't know if they had kids there or not, but it's entirely believable they could be, and if it is, well then good parents.
	Again, I... But that's the thing, it was men, some of them had beards, far right.
	Proud boys.
	I mean, that's the extent of the knowledge, the extent of the investigation, isn't it?
	The enemy, what more do you need?
	Men, with beards, obviously the enemy, concerned about the sanctity of children, evil.
	Longshanks, in fact, has got a comment on this.
	They realise that far-right was too vague in a general term and, like, racist it was before it.
	It wasn't having the same punch anymore, so they've moved on to Proud Boys as a pejorative.
	They're hoping it scares you this time, since it's an actual organisation and not just a spooky term.
	It might just make it really popular.
	It's also just really funny, because I just have...
	I'm going to find that clip of Gavin McGinnis just singing the Proud Boys song, because it's the funniest thing.
	Supreme Duck says...
	Oh, sorry, I'm going to York so well up later.
	Sorry.
	The right needs to start using words differently, just like the left is.
	A woman is still a woman, but a real woman is now expression for her nonce.
	Is it illogical?
	Do we need logic anymore?
	The left seems not to need it.
	Lord Nerevar.
	Chad Dads.
	Drag Queen's story hour is sexualising and inappropriate for children.
	Drag Queen apologists.
	But some kids get taken to Hooters band that too.
	Chad Dads.
	Your terms are acceptable.
	You know what?
	I agree that that would be an acceptable thing to do.
	But as a part of me, it's just like, nah.
	Nah, we banned Drag Queen Story Hour, and we don't care about Hooters, and that's how it's going to be.
	Don't care.
	But that's not fair.
	No, it's not.
	Neither are you.
	Deal with it.
	It's an easy deal to be made.
	I mean, I saw loads of people responding, just deal.
	The left could never make that deal.
	I mean, yeah, I would agree to it if I was feeling about being fair.
	But I'm not.
	No, we're not going to ban Hooters.
	And we are going to ban Drag Queen Story Hour.
	And you can go and cry about it.
	Lord Nerevan says, while I agree with pretty much everything you said here, I do disagree slightly with the framing.
	This is a fair point.
	Biden is clearly being propped up as a straw man to be abused while the real culprits of all of these problems get away incognito.
	Yes, I've made this point before.
	But ultimately it is Biden who has to take the responsibility for being the person the Biden administration is named after.
	You are right that he's clearly not running this absolute S-show by himself, and there's clearly an organization around him that's using him as a frontman.
	But I think we can also say that he's in some way responsible.
	But you are correct on that, of course.
	Omar says Biden isn't destroying America.
	He's being used to destroying America.
	Okay, you know what I'm saying.
	Biden and everything connected to him is being used.
	He did his destroying for 40 plus years prior to being installed, but now he's passed on his legacy to the next generation of corrupt, self-interested quizlings.
	Yes, that's totally true.
	John says, has anyone pointed out if Jan 6 was an attempted coup, then Congress will give up this country to a few hundred drunk retards?
	I mean, that's a great point, you know?
	If they just issued us a list of demands, we would have actually just signed over.
	Yeah, I mean, if that was the case, they should have gone better prepared.
	So close, it turns out.
	Amon Bing says, until another form of energy can get an airliner off the ground, we'll be extremely dependent on fossil fuels.
	Yes.
	That's, yeah, exactly it.
	Unless Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez manages to get her trans-oceanic railways done.
	Did you see the new, what was it...
	Green energy ships that they've invented.
	Oh, they've got sails on them.
	They have reinvented the sail.
	What if we had our cargo go by sails?
	I was just joking, actually.
	It's a real redesign.
	I've seen, like, five of them.
	Like, real companies are like, what if we redesign cargo ships to have sails?
	Look, we can capture wind energy.
	Oh, God.
	That's so stupid.
	Anyway, Itachi says, Biden's policies are literally killing people, human trafficking, drugs, etc.
	The Hispanic vote turned out in Texas in response, electing a Republican Mexican immigrant to a 100-year Democrat seat in Congress.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's like, it's so palpable.
	Like, someone 10,000 miles away across an ocean could be like, look, this guy and the people surrounding him, they are literally ruining your country.
	Literally destroying it.
	Like, I don't, like, if it's incredibly apparent to us, it must be really palpable on the ground.
	It's really apparent to the Chinese as well, who are having a field day.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do you remember when, what was it, that meeting in Alaska early on between, what was it, Anthony Blinken and the Chinese?
	The Chinese just spent 18 minutes talking about George Floyd and being like, well, the United States is clearly an asshole because you engage in racism against black people because of George Floyd, am I right?
	And if there's one thing China doesn't like, it's racism against black people.
	Yeah, and they just have to sit there and agree.
	Yeah.
	And it's just like, I can't believe they're buying this.
	Well, yeah, it's just beaten with their own...
	It must be so unbelievably obvious how badly things are going in America right now.
	Radcheck was right, says 30% of Americans are so emotionally attached to their choice in candidate, they're afraid to admit they were wrong or deceived about who they voted for.
	Or they think that Amber Heard is telling the truth.
	That kind of person.
	Kevin says, sooner or later, this is all going to really blow up in Biden's face, and he and Hunter will have to rush off to hide in their DACA on the Black Sea.
	Bet there's a fair chance they have one.
	Probably.
	But you are right.
	Like, I mean, you can't fortify to the extent that Biden is going to need it fortified for the next election.
	It's not going to happen.
	There's no amount of fortification that's going to save Biden at this point, I think.
	They're meant to be DACA. I don't know.
	I think you said DACA. It's making me think there's a bunch of orcs in the Black Sea just roaming about.
	Hakalit says, Demented Biden.
	Boris Johnson is obviously controlled by Biden.
	He uses the same technique.
	Keep lying to everyone with the intention of destroying the whole country, and hopefully the world, at least he's a slightly more articulate idiot.
	A slightly more articulate idiot.
	Yeah, it is embarrassing, isn't it?
	Generally.
	Bald Eagle says, The Democrats are now actively sabotaging the economy and energy sector.
	Yes.
	And self-avowedly.
	Like, we're literally, we're going to destroy the oil industry.
	So that might be a problem.
	Um...
	That was a campaign promise.
	I mean, that's the...
	To be honest, I'm not really that bothered about it.
	No, promises made, promises kept.
	The Democrats deserve everything they can get.
	The fact that they're poisoning the other half of the country is, you know, just evil.
	But to do it to themselves, I mean, frankly, maybe there should be some oil rationing?
	Because you know how he's releasing another 25 million barrels or whatever?
	Oh yeah, from the Strategic Reserve Trump filled up.
	That should be banned from California.
	I feel like they shouldn't get any of that.
	Yeah, but Biden's not.
	But that's the thing.
	That's how it should work.
	And I feel like if the Republicans get back in and there's another oil crisis, in future they should just not release it to blue states and be like, well, no, you guys can deal with this because you've got green energy, right, folks?
	And then just ignore them.
	Anyway, moving on to the Amber Heard case, Nicholas says, But as they always keep saying, there are no bad tactics, just bad targets or bad people.
	And their need to shape and control narrative outweighs all else.
	Yeah, but this is, again, one of those things where it's like, you know, trying to paper over Biden's failures.
	But you can't paper over Amber Heard's obvious lies.
	It's fantastic.
	Just keep reinforcing the lies.
	Just keep doing it, because everyone can actually see that you're lying at this point.
	Brandon says, Amber Heard sounds like she's been listening to Vaush's definition of free speech.
	Jonathan says, The Amber Heard interview proves only one thing to me, and that's that she's a textbook narcissist through and through, and she will never admit any wrongdoing at all.
	All I hope is that her name becomes mud in the industry once all these vulture natalists finish pecking the corpse of her trial for their interview clickbait.
	Yeah, I mean, let's hope.
	She'll probably get it in the film.
	Nah, she's probably too toxic.
	What she'll probably do is be some sort of feminist ambassador.
	Well, that's the thing.
	It's a defining moment for our culture, frankly.
	What happens to Amber Heard?
	Yeah.
	I mean, the right and just thing is that she becomes George Zimmerman.
	She just disappears off the face of the earth.
	She starts an only thing.
	Maybe.
	That's got to be your only option now.
	Yeah.
	But Amber, you're going to have to prostitute yourself at this point because you have ruined yourself so thoroughly, no one else is going to give you money for any other reason.
	Breaking the bookies will take that bet.
	I know that OnlyFans did tweet at her saying it.
	Did they?
	Yeah, OnlyFans tweeted her and just...
	That's a bit vulture-like, isn't it?
	Praying on a woman who's just going bankrupt.
	They just at Amber Heard with, now's the time.
	Okay, whoever manages...
	She's got to pay off that judgment!
	They've got good bands, but I'm imagining, you know, it's the same as them just search for tweets that, like, oh my god, I've got to pay my rent and just been tagging themselves.
	Well, yeah.
	Well, everyone's got to do what she's got to do.
