	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 7th of July 2022.
	Today I'm joined by Nick.
	Hello.
	How you doing?
	You feeling better?
	Feeling great.
	All right, good.
	Pumped to be here.
	Today we're going to be talking about E-Page, or Idiot Page, I don't know what I'm going to do about that, but we're going to figure that one out.
	Also Jordan Peterson becoming a full-time culture warrior, and the Florida versus California info wars that are going on between the two of them.
	Just as a statement in case people are wondering, I know Boller has resigned as Conservative leader.
	I just don't care.
	So I'm going to ignore that until we've got at least something more to talk about in regards to who's replacing him, because I'm not into it, I'll be honest.
	You don't want to get into the details of the leadership race, Callum.
	You surprised me.
	When there's actually a leadership race, yeah.
	You're so jaded on the political process.
	Anyway, are you a member of the Conservative Party?
	You want to vote?
	I don't even vote for them.
	I feel like people should do the Jeremy Corbyn thing.
	You know, you pay £3, you join, and then you vote for whoever...
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I don't vote Tory, man.
	They're not far right enough for me.
	I vote...
	I don't mean vote Tory.
	Oh, a member.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then you can vote for the leader within the party?
	Oh, I see.
	Yes, of course.
	Yes, good point.
	Yeah, I should have done that.
	Maybe.
	I guess we'll see what happens.
	Usually you're allowed to join beforehand as well, so...
	I actually know Steve Baker a little bit, so I was saying before, if it's him, I'll have some sort of personal contact, potentially with the Prime Minister.
	And I thought that was quite exciting, but no one here was excited by that.
	You'll never get his number again.
	He'll just be busy all the time.
	Fair enough.
	Anyway, I suppose we should get into Idiot Page.
	So, I thought we'd talk about Idiot Page, because, well, I'm going to call it Idiot because it was John's idea, and it's a good idea, because I don't know which one of those names we're allowed to use.
	I think neither is the correct association.
	Surely we're allowed to use the new one.
	I don't know if that makes sense, though.
	I ain't risking it, that's for sure.
	We're definitely allowed to use it, because that is now that person's name.
	However, Idiot Page does work better.
	Okay, we'll go with that.
	However, so let's start off just for a promotion, in case you don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
	So this is the new book club we did yesterday, Douglas Murray's The War on the West, which you should go and check out because he documents a lot of this idiocy, of course.
	And also mentioning we've done Constantine Kissin's book club now as well, which will be out on the 14th, hopefully.
	But otherwise, we should get into Idiot Page herself.
	I need to really word my wording better.
	But we'll start off, as you can see here.
	BuzzFeed News, breaking a story.
	Elliot Page's dead name appeared as a trending topic on Twitter, violating the site's own policy on hateful conduct.
	In a statement to BuzzFeed News, a Twitter spokesman said that it was a mistake and has since been removed.
	And the reason this trended is because Jordan Peterson said Idiot Page's name, and apparently that's banned now, because it's dead-naming, as if it's some kind of crime against humanity, to say someone's previous name.
	Yeah.
	Although I noticed, if you go on the Juno Wikipedia page, they still describe the character as a she-her, and I find that hateful, Callum, because that was a boy in that movie.
	As Michael said, it was his favourite LGBTQ plus film.
	Exactly.
	It was a gay relationship.
	So why is Wikipedia so hateful that it says she, her, Juno?
	It talks about this pregnant woman.
	That was a pregnant man.
	And we all know that.
	It was not, you know.
	A woman with a beard.
	Exactly.
	But if we go to the next one here, we can see the reason as to why this trended, as you see Ben Shapiro posting.
	So, Jordan Pearson, side tweet out that...
	The name, which is now banned, presumably, of Idiot Page, and then the fact that they had their breasts removed, which was all factually true, but politically incorrect, even though it's factually correct, because, you know, we live in the Free West.
	And then Dave Rubin decided to, you know, make people aware that that had happened, and for doing that, he was also banned.
	So now they're both banned.
	It's a kind of Russian doll meta dead name banning system.
	Yeah.
	One, I don't get deadnaming.
	Like, I don't get why that's some kind of crime against progressism.
	I understand their reasoning.
	But for it to be on the, you know, equality with, I don't know, calling for the death of black people, I mean, it's the same sort of thing it'll get you banned from Twitter.
	It is.
	Yeah, it's the most Orwellian kind of thing, isn't it?
	It's like, there was never any...
	It's always been...
	The current time or whatever it is.
	We've always been at war with these days.
	Yes.
	I'm not that familiar with Orwell.
	It became clear there.
	I knew there was something about we're always in the present.
	There's no past.
	Did you see the Friends, the woman behind Friends, the sitcom, who went back and said we were using the wrong pronoun for Chandler's trans dad?
	Because in the show, Friends was a different era, guys.
	I'm a geriatric millennial, so I can explain to everyone.
	In Friends, Chandler had a father who was now a woman.
	I believe that was it.
	And it was kind of used as a point of ridicule and shame throughout the series.
	He'd referenced it with kind of shame, and that was a funny joke at the time.
	But now, the woman who created Friends or co-created or whatever, she said the other day...
	To be honest, I didn't even click on the piece.
	I'd know more detail if I did, but you know one of those things you're like, I don't know if I can even click on that.
	She was saying we didn't use the right pronoun.
	Cancer.
	It just shows you how much has changed.
	I believe also one of them had to pay like $2 million in reparations because the show was white or some crap.
	Oh, they were saying it didn't have any black characters in it.
	I know.
	It's amazing.
	Hang on.
	It says here we kept referring to her as Chandler's father.
	Even though Chandler's father was trans, she said in an interview with the BBC World Service, Pronouns were not yet something that I understood.
	So she just wants to go back in time and understand this nonsense from 2022.
	And reword it so Chandler's father was not a father, even though he's Chandler's father in the script.
	Imagine how bad 2022 Friends would have been.
	I'm unwatchable.
	Although we can see it in real time, so you can see here, if you click on the second one here, I believe this is Ruben's response to the whole thing, which is, um...
	Oh, well.
	He says, I have been suspended by Twitter for posting a screenshot of Jordan Peterson's tweet, which got himself suspended.
	While it is unclear how I broke their terms of service...
	You didn't, mate.
	It is clear that they are breaking their fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders by letting a bunch of woke activists run the company.
	I hope Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter goes through and he can blow up their servers and humanity can move past this persuasive, twisted, and self-mental institution.
	Which is definitely true that it's just...
	I really...
	I think he's brought it now, officially.
	Like, the deal has gone through.
	In which case, I wonder what's all this spate of banning coming about?
	Because you would have thought if you work at Twitter you just wouldn't bother.
	They're just getting their bands in before he arrives.
	That's what it is.
	Presumably, yeah.
	Let's do as much evil stuff as we can before Musk comes in and starts making us make an actual profit.
	We have to do good things in the world?
	Not on my watch.
	Did you see that brilliant, I'm sure you saw it, we might have discussed it before, the meeting with Musk and Twitter employees at the Zoom call.
	And there's a fascinating thing where he said, he talks about inclusion and And they were like, what does inclusion mean to you?
	And he said, just getting more people on the platform.
	It means more people.
	And that blew their tidy minds.
	He's like, more people?
	More money?
	People?
	Money and people?
	What do you mean?
	And they're like, oh no, because when we say inclusion, we mean getting rid of people because they're wrong and evil.
	It's like, that's not what inclusion means, guys.
	That's brilliant.
	I love when you have a normie, you know, perspective, finally interact with those hyper-political types.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Like, okay, interesting.
	If we get to the next one here, you can see Ben Shapiro just being dead right again, as he has always been on this topic, frankly, as we've seen.
	And he says here, dead naming is when you notice that someone has changed his or her name.
	Gender ideology violates the laws of biology and logic, as well as physics.
	Now we must engage in time travel and pretend that there was a man called Elliot Page who starred in Juno as a pregnant girl.
	Or pregnant boy.
	Thank you.
	Ben, how dare you?
	As well.
	But it's just like, yeah, I really don't get this concept of just like, yeah, we must say for all time this person has now changed.
	Or that if you dare mention that they were the opposite, that's got to be banned.
	Because that's what's happened.
	And if you believe now as the progressive dogma surely is...
	Can't reference the old times, then that time didn't happen.
	Just thinking out loud here, but doesn't that take away from the sort of beauty of their transitional journey?
	Who would have thought?
	Yeah.
	Because I've heard it's a beautiful journey.
	I mean, how are you trans if you didn't transition?
	Exactly.
	You were always, you're just a bloke.
	Then you're just like, me and Callum, it's like, why are we going on about this?
	You're a bit short, but you've seen Elliot Page's attempts at being manly.
	What do you mean?
	Just the sitting around trying to look tough, and it is.
	Oh, the sort of photo shoots and stuff.
	Yeah, don't work.
	Don't work, to say the least.
	But if we go to the next one here, because there's also the obvious point, that this only applies to the aristocracy of the modern age, which of course is the, oh, if so oppressed, who gets special rights?
	Because as Lauren Chen points out, when it comes to trans activists, she says, we now have a protected class with special rights.
	Misgender me, and nothing will happen to you.
	Call me by the wrong name, and nothing will happen to you.
	The same, however, cannot be said of Idiot Page over there, who, well, how dare you reference that Juno existed and you watched it in school.
	That's not allowed anymore.
	But it's totally true as well.
	Like, if I call you the wrong name, no one cares.
	You call me the wrong name, no one cares.
	I mean, it's water off a duck's back.
	But if you dare do it to an aristocratic member of the aristocracy, then John Peterson's gone.
	Dave Rubin points out that happened.
	Also gone.
	Okay.
	This is normal.
	It's interesting that they're very much, like you say, part of the new elite, this page person, just by being some actor.
	In indie movies and things like that, whereas Pearson, with 2.8 million Twitter followers, is actually a much bigger figure, but he's not part of the elite.
	In a way, he is.
	In a way, he's a famous thinker who's massively influential.
	But some actor from an indie movie that was okay 20 years ago, whatever it was.
	That's how you measure success, isn't it?
	Is it in, you know, doing good, helping people, gaining a following, making money, maybe?
	No.
	It's how ideological are you.
	Yeah.
	How ensconced are you in the cathedral?
	If you go to the next one here, you can see some people obviously mentioning that, um...
	Well, if we can't mention the old name at all anymore, well, in which case, what the hell do we do with all the old posts as well?
	As you can see here, Entertainment Tonight's blaspheming by saying, Idiot Page says something or other, who cares?
	Would they dare use old photos and old names?
	Um...
	Now, is that person trolling, or are they serious?
	They're trolling.
	I'm sorry, I thought...
	But it's so hard to know, isn't it?
	But that's the rules.
	I mean, if Jordan Peterson is bad for saying the old name, well then...
	Some intern needs to go through all these articles.
	That's the bottom line.
	I mean, fundamentally, yes.
	How dare you?
	But if you go to the next one as well, there's also the obvious point.
	It's a poor innocent woman who's always been on the right side of history, as we know.
	There's no way that they're wrong about this one again, are they?
	I mean, if you remember this, this is the Jussie Smollett hoax where she went on Colbert and was like, it's not a debate!
	It happened to him!
	And Colbert's like, I totally agree.
	Are we going to play it, or are we just going to enjoy the still of a person of indeterminate gender?
	I didn't clip it out, but let's just play the first part there.
	You have to be fired up.
	It feels impossible to not feel this way right now with the president and the vice president, Mike Pence, who wishes I couldn't be married.
	Let's just be clear.
	The vice president of America wishes I didn't have the love with my wife.
	He wanted to ban that in Indiana.
	He believes in conversion therapy.
	He has hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the government of Indiana, and I think the thing we need to know, and I hope my show Gaycation did this, in terms of connecting the dots, in terms of what happened the other day to Josie.
	I don't know him personally.
	I sent all of my love.
	Connect the dots.
	This is what happens.
	If you are in a position of power and you hate people, And you want to cause suffering to them.
	You go through the trouble.
	You spend your career trying to cause suffering.
	What do you think is going to happen?
	Kids are going to be abused and they're going to kill themselves.
	And people are going to be beaten on the street.
	I have traveled the world and I have met the most marginalized people you could meet.
	I am lucky to have this time and the privilege to say this.
	This needs to f***ing stop.
	Let's pause it there.
	I love that dramatic pause.
	She's about to say something profound.
	Oh, she's not.
	She's just going to swear.
	Actors are very dangerous because they're so good at manipulating emotions and being really convincing about nothing.
	Do you see how passionate...
	That was brilliant.
	In terms of pure acting.
	But she said absolutely nothing.
	What was the bit about beating people in the street?
	That didn't make any sense.
	It's going to happen to Jussie Smollett again.
	Oh, yeah.
	Smollett.
	More MAGA country stuff.
	I don't know.
	Do you know what that reminded me of a little bit was Matthew McConaughey?
	Because he sort of went like, oh, is McConaughey going based?
	Because he sort of started talking to Peterson and saying, hey, man, yeah, we need like a conversation.
	Like he started getting like, hey, I'm like, I'm a sort of interesting centrist who isn't totally lefty.
	But then he suddenly went all in on gun control, didn't he?
	He went, do you see it?
	And he had this alleged sneakers of the shooting victim.
	Look at these sneakers.
	And he's such a good actor.
	He's convincing him.
	Oh, yeah, take our guns, Matthew.
	They're very dangerous people.
	Yeah, I mean, 100%.
	I love there as well.
	He tried to take away the love between me and my wife.
	Yeah, well, you did that anyway.
	But let's move to the next one, though, because there's more information of this, of course.
	So you have Jordan Peterson here.
	The response he obviously gave was, I'd rather die than delete the truth.
	And there was a typical response from the leftists, which is just do it.
	Of course, they're going to say that because they're leftists.
	But there we have it.
	Then he would become more powerful than they can possibly imagine.
	Literally.
	Peterson the Martyr.
	If you go to the next one here, there's also just the fact that, well, writers started playing a game.
	Because this is rather funny, isn't it?
	Wait, you can't say the name?
	Oh, okay.
	Then loads of people, like you see George here, just started tweeting out the name of Idiot Page.
	And everyone just started retweeting it and posting it.
	And then it started trending.
	And then Twitter had to step in and be like, no, it never happened.
	Trust us.
	Juno isn't a real movie.
	That's when you know we're in an oppressive society.
	Just a name is subversive.
	And also, I mean, it's kind of like Stalin deleting Trotsky kind of stuff, isn't it?
	And then the fact that she said in that clip, she talked about powerful people.
	I can't remember exactly what she said.
	You can get your name deleted from the internet.
	Right.
	You're the most powerful.
	It doesn't get any more powerful.
	No.
	I mean, do you remember what was it?
	The Ukrainian leaker whose name was deleted off the internet as well because they would dare embarrass the Biden administration or whatever.
	And she's like, okay, yeah, right.
	If we go to the next one here, you can see there was people pointing out, surely this rule actually applies to everyone now as well.
	Twitter banned Jordan Peterson for misgendering Idiot Page.
	Good.
	Now making it common for all TERFs and not just the ones who target celebrities.
	Which is true.
	Twitter has only done this for Idiot Page.
	They haven't done it for anyone else.
	Because TERFs still, you know, are TERFs.
	Unable to exist there, for now.
	And, of course, well, the logic must go forward, so I'm sure we can look forward to that as well.
	Ban all TERFs.
	Yeah.
	But it's not only randos who are getting banned, like Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin, who are they?
	Nobody's, I'm sure.
	But you have loads of other people who are getting banned as well, and I thought we'd just indulge in this.
	So you can see Breaking911, we've featured many a time.
	They just post news.
	They've been doing it for a decade, and then they were just suddenly banned.
	Okay, that's normal.
	I mean, this is why I think you're right, that the guys at Twitter just seem to be going on a spree.
	Yeah, and very much like lives of TikTok, they just...
	Show the truth.
	Or defiant L's.
	It's like, just showing what you people are is bad enough.
	And weirdly, the people know that because they're trying to get it banned.
	Why else are you reporting the tweets?
	Stop showing accurate things about us!
	But Ellibs and TikTok had to step in and tag Elon Musk and be like, hey, this is literally just a news account.
	What's the problem?
	And thankfully they're back for that.
	But I suppose it's more evidence of Twitter's employees going on Rampage.
	But also, there's one more here.
	And this is a brand new thing.
	Because, of course, we always had accounts that, you know, delete and then get back on because they get exposed or something like that.
	Twitter was taken to court over a recent one and actually reinstated an account because they realized how badly they messed up.
	Go to the next one here.
	This is Twitter accepting that, well, they banned someone.
	They shouldn't have done it.
	It was complete nonsense.
	If you go to the next one here, you can see the individual himself.
	I'm not too familiar with the chat.
	I'm sure some people might be.
	This guy, Alex, here, saying, Shady's back, tell a friend.
	Full story of my reinstatement, including Twitter's acknowledgement of their error.
	Check out my substack, and so we shall.
	Let's go to a substack.
	It says here, let's get the official statement, the reinstatement statement, out of the way first.
	quote the parties have come to a mutually acceptable resolution i have been reinstated twitter has acknowledged that my tweets should not have led to my suspension at that time okay he says take a look at that third sentence again twitter has acknowledged that my tweets should not have led to my suspension at that time to recap last august
	twitter banned me after i got five strikes under its covid19 misinformation policy which meant i supposedly made quote claims of fact that were demonstrably false or misleading and likely to impact public safety or cause serious harm that's the policy That's what it takes to get a strike.
	Look it up.
	Now we come to find those tweets should not have led to my suspension.
	Oopsie.
	Hey, everyone makes mistakes, I suppose.
	Not everyone's mistakes led to a worldwide series of defamation articles like this one, though.
	And then he gives us an example from Insider, who ran with COVID conspiracy theorist Alex Spann from Twitter after posting anti-vaccine rant.
	There are loads of those.
	It's not just one that went after him.
	All in the past, though, Little Bird and I are now best of friends, and I can't wait for Insider and NBC News and everyone else who drooled over my suspension in August 2021, and later to devote equal space to the fact that I'm back and Twitter's admission it should never have banned me.
	Much more, actually, I believe this has never happened before.
	And that's the interesting thing, because he sued.
	He said, well, I haven't done anything wrong.
	Prove it.
	What misinformation have I put out?
	And, well, you remember 2021, and how things were true until they weren't, and then they were true again.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	We can't talk about any of them on YouTube.
	Makes sense.
	I know.
	Very much like the lab leak theory, I always think, is the ultimate example.
	You know, it's a bad guy, isn't it?
	You can't say it's the lab.
	You'll be banned from everything.
	Oh, it's the lab.
	Don't worry, Jon Stewart said it now.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	Please.
	You know what it took Twitter to admit that it shouldn't have done what it did?
	You do not, and I can't tell you, because the statement is all I can say about the settlement, the author writes.
	Which is a shame, because I'd love to know.
	But he does say, except I need to add one thing.
	The settlement does not end my investigation into the pressures that the government may have placed on Twitter to suspend my account.
	I will have more to say on that issue in the near future.
	I made a promise to the readers last month, and I made promises to my readers.
	I take my promises seriously.
	It's an interesting point there.
	That's the key sentence that stuck with me, and we probably were going to show it stuck out to some other people as well.
	Pressures that the government may have placed on Twitter to suspend me.
	May have.
	May have.
	Someone trying not to get sued again immediately.
	Yeah, but if we go to the next one, we're not the only people who noticed.
	Elon Musk noticed.
	There it is.
	Tell us more.
	I'd love to know.
	And yeah, I'm sure they'll be having a chat soon.
	And of course, we know directly where this came from, because we were aware of it at the time.
	You go to the next one here.
	It's the Surgeon General informed by the Biden administration to go after misinformation as defined by the government.
	Because, you know, that's the government's role, censoring the American public.
	Well, this is it, and this is what I want to know more about, because we all say, oh, big tech censorship, and we all hate big tech, but how far is it actually just the Dems forcing them, and the left forcing them?
	We don't know.
	Well, in regards to COVID misinformation, we do.
	100% now.
	Okay, cool.
	We do know.
	Even if he can't say it, I mean, we know.
	So this is the article at the time in which the Surgeon General came out and said, you know, my job is usually giving you advice on how to not smoke.
	Not today anymore.
	I've got better things to do, such as, well, telling you that misinformation is now my job, and I'm going to be the arbiter of truth.
	Murphy, the Surgeon General, also went on some of those very platforms to spread the message, including Twitter and Facebook.
	The advisory isn't a set of orders that must be followed by these companies.
	Vox, right?
	All people.
	But the increased scrutiny does add attention and pressure on them to more aggressively combat the falsehoods spreading on their platforms.
	And then they have the Press Secretary Jen Psaki saying the White House has been in contact with those platforms and flags problematic content for them Which is obviously, as Senator Josh Hawley pointed out, basically just them acting as arms of the federal government, censoring Americans.
	You sort of just imagine it's Jen Psaki just texting Twitter, don't you?
	Just take that down.
	I mean, I'm not making any legal claim, purely satirical content, but you do imagine her doing that, don't you?
	Oh, straight up.
	I mean, how else?
	Because she said, what was it, there were nine individuals?
	I was like, okay, so you've got them in your phone, and you'll text those nine names.
	And now they've replaced her with that puppet.
	She can just devote herself full time to doing that.
	Yeah, and I'm not too familiar with the chat, but if we go for one, I just checked up his name, and yeah, they really did hate him.
	As you can see here, the Data Beast ran in with their headline being, you know, finally banned from Twitter, goodbye.
	The next one is just some other article, which is just like, yeah, wrongest man on the internet.
	Eh, for how long?
	Not according to law...
	No, not according to, well, Twitter themselves.
	But there you have it.
	There's the various bellings and, well, the name we can no longer say.
	I mean, the new Voldemort of the West being Idiot Page, who, well, can't say anything about.
	I just want to celebrate E. Page's beautiful journey that didn't happen because E. Page was always a man.
	It was truly inspiring how nothing happened.
	Nothing happened there.
	And that's the key point, everyone.
	Let's go to the next segment.
	Oh, is this my bit?
	Yeah.
	Let's go to Jordan Peterson.
	Do you want me to introduce or do you say a bit more first?
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Okay.
	So, well, I wrote this article in the Daily Skeptic about this and I thought we'd do a little piece in it.
	It's about the escalating culture war and the Daily Wire and Jordan Peterson.
	So, Jordan Peterson has joined the Daily Wire and it's pretty epic and they're going big, high production on it.
	So, let's check out the video.
	I mean, sure, Daily Wire Plus is going to have the Daily Wire, and sure, we're going to expand our relationship with PragerU, and sure, we're going to make more movies, and sure, we're going to make kids content.
	But I got one more plus.
	Here it is.
	Here it is.
	Anyway, this goes on for quite a while, and then they give him a standing ovation for about five minutes.
	I mean, it's nicely made, isn't it?
	Look at that.
	Listen, the crowd go absolutely mental in a minute, and it goes on for ages.
	They give him a standing ovation, and they're obviously very, very keen about it.
	And the reason I think it's important is, do you remember Scott Adams a while back with that two movies theory?
	Well, so Scott Adams, who created Dilbert, and we know he's a bit of a boomer and he's got some dodgy takes on the vaccine, but he had this thing that, following Trump, due to Trump derangement syndrome, America had fractured into these two movies, one screen, so the same events being interpreted completely differently depending on which side of the fence you were on.
	Basically, the culture war.
	It wasn't a totally original observation, but it's a succinct way of putting it that We can see the same thing and have completely different views of what's just happened.
	That was, you know, following post-Trump derangement syndrome.
	So my claim is that with Peterson now joining the Daily Wire, we're just going to see more and more of this escalation into, and with the Daily Wire's new content, they're going to have fiction movies, they're going to have documentaries like What is a Woman?
	that went viral.
	They're going to have kids content.
	So my point is, more and more we're going to go into this world where it's two separate Completely separate cultures, even at the level of entertainment, even at the level of kids' programs.
	And I just think this is the next stage in that escalation.
	I mean, it's sort of like people have posited the idea of a separation of the states, but frankly, it's already happening on a social level.
	I mean, it happened on the internet ages ago.
	You see people being off in their different camps, but...
	Yeah.
	And you've got mainstream articles about that separation.
	There was one in the Times the other day from an obvious lefty professor.
	He's talking about could America go into some sort of civil war?
	Could it break up?
	A lot of people are talking about this.
	But yes, it's already breaking up culturally.
	But on one level, it's just Peterson has just been getting more base.
	On one level, it's just that.
	Like, for some reason, he's been getting more and more base.
	I think it's because of The vaccine thing.
	I think it's because of the whole COVID thing.
	So he was ill during that time.
	He kind of missed it.
	He missed the creeping authoritarianism, having ironically dedicated his whole working life to that topic.
	And people were sort of saying to him, hey, Jordan, why are you missing this?
	He's like, I've been ill.
	And to be fair, he had.
	And then he got the vaccine, and then he felt cheated.
	And I think this is the moment Peterson becomes...
	He's already red-pilled in a way, isn't he?
	But this is when he goes to the next level.
	His eyes go...
	I think this is when it happened in this clip.
	Look, I got vaccinated, and people took me to task for that, and I thought, all right, I'll get the damn vaccine.
	Here's the deal, guys.
	I'll get the vaccine.
	You f***ing leave me alone!
	I still love that.
	Angry Peterson.
	I mean, the left in the previous clip, they've been posting all these thinking they're owning Peterson.
	Peterson posting exails.
	He's like, I'd rather die than delete that.
	And they think they're winning.
	But Angry Peterson is fun.
	No, but that's also just very based.
	It's like, I'd rather die than just tell lies.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The left's like, integrity?
	They don't want to do with integrity.
	They're like, they're melting.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	So, but my claim about this is like, because in a way, Peterson has 2.8 million Twitter followers before he was banned.
	And they only have 1 million on the Daily Wire.
	So why would Peterson go to him?
	Because on one hand, yes, he's just becoming more base.
	On the other hand, such a mainstream figure who has such broad appeal.
	I mean, his advice includes cleaning your room and trying your best.
	You know, he's a very mainstream figure with nearly 3 million followers, but he's gone to the Daily Wire.
	So my claim is it's this kind of further ghettoization of the culture that You know, he's going to the subscriber paywall ghetto.
	I mean, it's anyway when I say a ghetto, it's a pretty nice ghetto with really well mown lawns, no litter at all.
	Some nice walls.
	Yeah.
	Nice big beautiful walls.
	Yeah.
	Nice wall, yeah.
	Build a wall, big beautiful wall.
	And the kids come around very politely at Halloween and they leave if you have nothing and it's all very nice.
	But it is still a ghetto in a sense.
	So I'm like, okay, this is where we're going.
	So it's much bigger than just Peterson, because Daily Wire is expanding, and they've got this Daily Wire Plus.
	Sorry to plug them.
	Still watch Lotus Eaters, but they've got this Daily Wire Plus, and it's like, some people think it's taking the, I don't know what we'll have to say on YouTube, bleep out of CNN Plus, which shut down after just one month, which is hilarious.
	Some people say 30 days, some people say 33 days, but it's shut down completely.
	I don't know if that's why the name's like that.
	But what they're going to do is they're going to have documentaries like that.
	Did you see What is a Woman?
	That blew up.
	Yeah, we did a review on that.
	Oh, cool.
	And then you've got the fiction film.
	You've got Gina Carano in this Terror on the Prairie.
	And you've even got Vincent Gallo in Shutting.
	Are you familiar with Vincent Gallo?
	I'm not familiar with him.
	You have to be a bit of a geriatric millennial.
	You have to be a bit older than you.
	But Vincent Gallo was so cool back in the day.
	He had Buffalo 66 was his famous movie that he directed and starred him.
	And he's a kind of...
	He actually invented the sort of conservative counterculture.
	Maybe not invented it, but he was in that before it really existed.
	And I found this old clip.
	I think it's from 2004.
	I thought we could play this and I'll show you what I mean.
	The Republicans are portrayed as a bunch of mainstream white rednecks, religious fanatics, and evil corporate leaders.
	You know...
	It's simply not true.
	You know, I considered myself a radical, always, but an extremely conservative radical.
	No one knew if he was trolling.
	He used to say that he loved Richard Nixon.
	That's his favourite president.
	But he was this hipster looking guy in Hollywood.
	So it's very interesting.
	I'm getting like Sam Hyde vibes from this.
	I don't know if he's playing me.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And that's how he always was.
	But you sort of go, actually, I think he's serious.
	There's another part of the clip where he has a passionate sort of monologue about this NFL star he wanted to be like.
	And actually, I think we should play the next clip because it's just hilarious.
	My fantasy is not having the Republican Party become more like me.
	My fantasy is becoming more like the stereotype of the Republican Party.
	I wish that I looked more like George Will.
	I love that.
	So, this is...
	In a way, he was trolling before trolling was a thing.
	We should go back and watch his Howard Stern interview.
	It's still on YouTube.
	It is a work of just insulting and abusing the whole industry.
	And he was in Hollywood, but he was against Hollywood.
	And of course, there is a link.
	Obviously, these people know each other.
	Jeremy Boring was in Hollywood, but didn't fit in.
	And Ben Shapiro.
	And they had this...
	What was it called?
	I've forgotten the name of it.
	Truth something.
	Sorry, I've forgotten the name.
	But then they founded Daily Wire.
	So they come out of this Hollywood conservative movement.
	So it's just interesting that he's now on the Daily Wire, Vincent Gallo, in these movies.
	To be honest, I will say I'm actually very impressed with the Daily Wire in the sense of it is such a huge institution at this point.
	We're doing our own thing.
	We're in office in Swindon, but the Daily Wire, I'm told, the amount of office space, employees, and what it is, is massive at this point.
	Yeah, I've heard that.
	I've heard that.
	Apparently it's very impressive if you go there.
	But I'd like to go.
	By the way, that clip is from a movie which I'm trying to track down.
	It's called Rated R Republicans in Hollywood from 2004.
	This is the old school counterculture of, you know, the weird thing of being in Hollywood but being a rebel.
	So anyway, a bit of a Gen X digression for you there, for some of the kids.
	So yeah, I think the most significant part of it is this Daily Wire Kids, which they've now launched.
	And this is significant because it's going to be children's programming.
	It's going to be conservative from the very start.
	There's not going to be any, you know, drag queen pride parades in the middle of the Nickelodeon.
	Exactly, exactly.
	And they were going to do it anyway.
	How conservative.
	I know, I know.
	It had to be.
	Well, that's it.
	And they saw that and they had it planned.
	Then they realized when they saw the Disney leaked Zoom calls, they're like, we're going to have to do this sooner.
	And I'm sure the lower seat fans were aware, but let's just have a look at that in case you forgot.
	Roberts and like our leadership over there has been so...
	Welcoming to my not-at-all-secret-gay agenda.
	Maybe it was that way in the past, but I guess something must have happened in the last...
	They're turning it around, they're going hard, and then all that momentum that I felt that Sense of, I don't have to be afraid to like, let's have these two characters kiss.
	Let's, in the background, like I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness to like, if you see anything queer in the show, I'm proud of them.
	But like, I just was like, no one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.
	No adults in the room.
	We'd just be like, stop just adding dildos to the background, love.
	If you could do that for five minutes in the kids' show.
	This is a kids' show.
	Step away.
	Why do you have an agenda?
	Exactly.
	Step away from whatever you're working on.
	And of course, she was famously...
	That was Latoya Rabineau.
	Rabineau.
	Rabineau.
	Whatever.
	Don't want to use her dead name.
	I think that's her live name.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea anymore.
	I don't know what...
	I'm sorry if it's they, them.
	That was they.
	And she, they, is an executive producer at Disney, and also said this famously.
	I identify as, like, a biromantic asexual.
	What?
	A biromantic asexual, Callum.
	Just process that.
	So asexual means you're not into men or women, but biromantic means you're into both, surely?
	Yeah.
	I think I've broken Callum.
	Yeah, biromantic.
	Yeah, biromantic.
	Does that just mean she wants to date men and women but not have sex with them?
	Complicate, isn't it?
	Yeah, you're right.
	It's like biromantic is everyone or both.
	I'll date you both.
	Yeah.
	But we're not getting like...
	We're not, exactly.
	You can do each other.
	I'm not doing...
	Sounds like a time waster.
	Yeah.
	That's what I'm hearing.
	And it reminded me of my tweet the other day while we were talking about asexuals.
	And not to push, not to promote myself, but this got 11.2 thousand likes.
	That's a great tweet.
	This person said, yes, I'm asexual.
	Yes, I marched in the Pride in London Parade.
	Yes, I did it dressed like this.
	Yes, aces are part of the LGBTQI plus community.
	Stay mad because we're not going anywhere.
	And I just wrote, no one is mad that you're asexual.
	It's like building a movement around not liking cheese.
	And I thought it was a good point, but I didn't know it was going to get 11.2 thousand.
	I felt a bit bad.
	I got nothing against this person.
	And then my friend said...
	No, but it's true though.
	You're not part of the pride movement then, surely.
	You're part of the stay home and eat cheese movement if you're asexual.
	You're not having sex.
	Good point.
	And she doesn't say if she's bioromantic, but it is bizarre, isn't it?
	I've given up on women.
	I'm not basing a movement around it.
	I mean, I could.
	It's become a cop-out for incels.
	She's not asexual, actually.
	It's the MGTOW movie.
	So is she a femcel?
	Yeah, she probably is.
	She's a femcel.
	But I felt like my mate sent her a response to me at 2am.
	I was trying to sleep.
	People were like, oh, look at what this person said about you.
	But my policy is never look at anything anyone said about me.
	Even if I've slagged them off, I've got a leather does.
	I didn't even read it.
	I'm like, don't want to know.
	It's probably not very nice.
	But good luck to her.
	Nothing against her personally.
	And good luck with not having sex with people.
	And also you're not eating cheese movement that I presume you'll also set up.
	Yes, that's coming next.
	No more cheese.
	But it's fine if you want it, I just don't.
	So, and also Disney corporate president, Carrie Burke, in that same set of Zoom leaks, said this.
	Listen to her family.
	I'm here as a mother of two queer children, actually.
	One transgender child and one pansexual child.
	What are the odds of that?
	You've raised a family, one of them's come out transgender, one pansexual.
	Does the phrase I blame the parents spring to mind?
	I mean, by the way, those are two things that don't exist.
	I don't want to get banned off YouTube or something, but a child can't really decide to be trans, and that's called child abuse.
	Children aren't sexual, so they can't be pansexual.
	And there's no such thing as that anyway.
	What's a pansexual?
	What's a panasexual, more importantly?
	I don't do anything with anyone across the whole spectrum.
	Yeah, so that's that.
	So that's the kind of people who are running Disney.
	And so my point is here that Daily Wire have launched this quite significant kids brand, in my opinion.
	And that's what forced them to accelerate it and move it up.
	And they broke Ben Shapiro, as we see here.
	Well, we announced yesterday that over the next three years, we would be investing $100 million here at The Daily Wire into making children's entertainment content.
	The reason being, I'm a parent.
	I have three kids, 8-5-2.
	And it used to be that I could turn on Disney Plus and feel relatively safe that if my five-year-old grabbed ahold of the remote and hit anything, that it would be okay.
	I no longer have that sort of faith.
	I didn't have that much faith before.
	I pre-screened virtually everything my kids saw.
	Now I have less than no faith.
	Now I have negative faith.
	And I think a lot of parents feel the same way.
	We feel slapped in the face.
	We feel that companies like Disney wish to hijack our children and use our own children against us and turn our children against us.
	I only feel it because they just keep saying it.
	It's just like...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I know.
	He's not exactly...
	It's not a leap of imagination.
	I love that he went $100 million.
	He went the full Dr.
	Ewell.
	They went $100 million in it.
	And they also made Shapiro go full wobbly head and turn our children against us.
	He went absolutely mad.
	And he was quite right.
	I mean, this is what they're doing.
	And now it's on.
	So the war is on, right, Callum?
	This is the war between the mainstream cultural output now hijacked by wokeness, right?
	And the sort of out there, conservative, countercultural, just...
	Harder to find media.
	Let's try not to queer kids instead.
	Kids like kids.
	Exactly.
	And I just think the war's on.
	I think this is the next escalator in the world.
	We already knew it was happening, obviously, but this is the next escalator.
	And I start thinking about Netflix.
	They're not doing very well.
	Their share price plummeted.
	They've got 35% after the first quarter subscriber loss.
	And they've got to a point where they're going to have to incorporate adverts.
	You've probably heard this.
	Only on an ad tier.
	But people couldn't believe it because Netflix, you don't even watch adverts on Netflix.
	But they're going to offer a cheaper service where you're going to be forced to watch ads, but you pay less.
	Let's call the whole thing TV. There's no point.
	TV you pay for.
	Let's have four channels again.
	You know what I mean?
	And that's where it's going.
	And obviously Netflix have suffered from the go woke, go broke thing.
	And there's some evidence that they're kind of backpedaling.
	They did this thing after Dave Chappelle dared do comedy as a comedian.
	And then they said, look, if you can't...
	Except this, Netflix may not be the best place for you.
	Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you may perceive to be harmful.
	And if you find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.
	So they recognize the backlash against Chappelle.
	Like, oh, we're losing all our money, our stock price is down.
	Let's say something vaguely normal.
	So my point is, you've got Daily Wire versus platforms like Netflix, and they are losing.
	The mass media are wobbling, you know.
	And let's face it, Joe Rogan is still the biggest podcast in the world.
	You've got new media set for Lotus.
	You've got new media, and I just think it's interesting that Rogan survived all the attempts to cancel him.
	And a couple of days ago, he said this on the Lex Friedman podcast about how he coped with that time.
	How did you survive that?
	How did you sort of walk through that fire?
	Because you seemed to do it with grace.
	I used mushrooms.
	That's the answer.
	It's what you expect from Joe Rogan, isn't it?
	Mushrooms.
	And there's actually an article where he clarifies it's actually mushrooms and exercise.
	And he's got a crossbow there.
	There was probably elk involved.
	There was probably an orangutan fishing.
	He probably took some sort of supplements for your brain power or something.
	But yeah, classic Rogan.
	So that's how we do it.
	But the reason I bring in Rogan is I'm like, I'm sort of saying we've got The Daily Wire and Rogan, things like that, and Peterson now versus Netflix and versus Disney.
	And if you look at Disney, of course they've got the money, but they're struggling because their movies suck because they're woke.
	Look at Lightyear, which has apparently tanked at the box office, which is...
	Oh yeah, Paul, there we go.
	Oh yeah, the previous one, I was going to say, Rogan survived the Dirty Dirty Smear Merchants, and I found that on the internet.
	Were you aware of that?
	Someone said this, this wasn't us.
	Start up an IMDB page, but I'm not apologising for anything, you Dirty Dirty Smear Merchants.
	8.9 out of 10.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	12 reviews.
	It's a one-minute film if you go.
	Oh, yeah, 2019, one minute.
	I watched that clip again.
	It is an all-time classic.
	You've got to shout out to our great leader.
	That is a great movie.
	And that's how you survive them.
	Rogan survived them, Carl survived them.
	You just tell them where to go.
	Get bent.
	To quote a great man.
	So anyway, yes.
	Anyway, the point is now Disney absolutely suck.
	Lightyear's failing.
	Star Wars is failing.
	I think Star Wars is the best example of this kind of what's happened to, you know, the old Star Wars.
	It's a Jungian archetype.
	It's a hero's journey.
	We can all enjoy it, except women.
	And we all love it.
	We don't really like it that much.
	But then, and now the new Star Wars are these horrible, now we realise that was all patriarchal white saviour complex.
	Now we've got these new awful woke Star Wars where it's great if you're a woman.
	It's even better if you're a purple haired woman.
	The old white man is gone.
	Hamill, he's out of there.
	He's rubbish.
	He just dies.
	Let's just kill the character.
	I mean, if you've seen Mark Hamill talk about what happened to him in the show, and he's just like, why would a Jedi give up?
	Just constantly.
	He really hates everything that happened in the script.
	Yes, he hated Last Jedi, didn't he?
	But he had to sort of pretend not to.
	But yeah, he did come out and say he hated it.
	I should watch that again.
	Multiple times.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It was absolutely pathetic.
	I mean, who was that girl?
	The new Jedi girl.
	This is her lightsaber.
	That's what I'm doing there.
	Whoever she is.
	She was the star of that one.
	She beats Luke Skywalker, one of the best Jedi's ever, easily.
	Just beats him easily in a few seconds.
	It's not even close.
	It's less close than Luke versus Darth Vader.
	It's over.
	It's like, yeah, beat you, old white man, now die.
	Absolutely pathetic.
	Anyway, that's why Disney will fail, because they're shoehorning in their awful, awful ideology into everything.
	I'm saying it firsthand, so we know.
	This is not some, like, guesstimate from the right-wingers who think there's a conspiracy to try and put, you know, their not-so-secret-gare agenda into the movies.
	No, the interns and the executives are just saying it.
	Yeah, yeah, always helpful when they confirm everything.
	I know.
	And it's just funny, isn't it?
	I just think there's something inherently conservative about classic stories.
	You know, it's like...
	It's individualistic.
	You're overcoming adversity.
	You gain wisdom and you attain manhood, or sometimes womanhood, but never biromantic asexualhood.
	Do you know what I mean?
	It's never that.
	And there's something conservative about that.
	And especially things like Westerns, where it's no surprise to me that Daily Wire has got this Western with Gina Crono, who was cancelled by Disney.
	So it's perfect, really.
	Because Westerns are so conservative.
	They're so satisfying.
	There's just something really conservative about them.
	Do you know what I mean?
	Well, you know, it's the archetype of what you want to be, really.
	Self-sufficient, man out in the wilderness, make your own food.
	I mean, that's why I love playing Red Dead Redemption 2 so much.
	It's great.
	I actually might play it, and I've said that.
	Is it better than one?
	That's a debate, isn't it?
	Probably, yeah.
	Probably, yeah.
	But you get to feel like Clint Eastwood, basically, don't you?
	And that's it.
	And he's the ultimate man.
	And that's it.
	Whereas this new thing is horrific.
	It's not going to work.
	So they've got that all against them.
	We've got the sort of story arcs, compelling characters.
	We've got the truth.
	They've got a load of money, a load of nonsense.
	But now The Daily Wire has a load of money.
	Exactly.
	And this is where it gets really interesting.
	And I'm pretty much ending in a minute.
	But what I think Daily Wire are going to do is in their documentaries and so on, of course, they're going to do what is a woman, they're going to do cultural stuff.
	But in their fiction stuff, especially in their kids stuff, they're going to make it fun kids stuff.
	And in their fictional films, like this Western, they're going to actually try and make them just like proper movies.
	I mean, I looked at the blurb for this.
	If you scroll down, it's in there.
	And it says, And I thought...
	Yeah, that is exactly it.
	That's what you should do.
	We should, on our side, if you want to call it that, the good side, make just good content and win like that.
	Yeah, the ideology will just fit into the content if it's good, because that's essentially what you're striving for, which is wholesome stuff, which you're going to make anyway, presumably.
	There you go.
	You can see the quote.
	The only bit I thought they went a bit far on was they said, Terror on the Prairie is a movie about fighting for survival and against all odds because the American dream is too valid to give up on.
	It's like, okay, Delio, I showed your hand a bit there.
	But yeah, so that's kind of my point is that who's going to win this war of the culture that's being fought through the entertainment world?
	We're the rebels.
	The rebels win in the end, right?
	Yeah.
	Hopefully.
	Hopefully.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But that's where I'm at.
	And I just think this whole Peterson Daily Wire Plus thing is another stage in that.
	There you go.
	Fair enough.
	All right.
	I suppose we'll move on to the Florida v.
	California War.
	So, I know there are a lot of Floridians who watch this show who are very patriotic, which they're right to be as well.
	So, let's start off.
	So I thought we'd talk about Florida v.
	California.
	I don't know if this is round one or round two, but it's good fun to watch either way.
	I don't know if you're aware, but Florida and California's governors, or whoever the hell psycho man in California is, have been having a fight about whose state is best and who you should move to, mainly because California keeps losing people, so they're kind of panicking.
	But to start it off, we'll just, as I always have to do, promote something.
	So we'll promote it here, Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower, which is about 9-11.
	Because, well, the Dems have done more damage in New York and California than 9-11 ever could.
	Anyway, moving on, let's go to the next one.
	So, let's start off.
	Florida has made a lot of enemies, of course, as you can see here.
	Christina, the press secretary for DeSantis, pointing out President Biden being, you know, a Dem in a suit.
	Nothing more than a man who doesn't know where he is.
	He's very upset.
	Florida, the don't say gay bill, the anti-groomer bill.
	It's like, you can't groom kids.
	And the Dems took that personally.
	They didn't like that.
	Yeah.
	So they made a lot of enemies.
	And one person who was very upset is Mr.
	Newsome, the American psycho himself in California, who decided to put out this attack ad against Florida?
	Presumably to try and get people to move to California.
	And his argument is that Florida, there's no freedom.
	Unlike in California, where there's endless freedom, trust us.
	Just move, it'll be fine.
	Yes, and then you can never leave.
	What?
	Ignore that bit.
	Let's play the clip.
	Here's a weird ad.
	It's Independence Day, so let's talk about what's going on in America.
	Freedom is under attack in your state.
	Republican leaders, they're banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors.
	I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight, or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom.
	Freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and the freedom to love.
	Don't let them take your freedom.
	Paid for by Newsom for California Governor 2022.
	I mean, it just fails on multiple levels.
	Yeah, I didn't know we could criminalise women.
	I'm going to look into that.
	I've made a note.
	I'm going to run that by Justice Dankler and see if we can work on that.
	You're going to run up for new elections as well, just the criminalised women party.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	What was it, Dankler said, walking towards the 19th Amendment?
	What was that?
	That was so funny.
	But yeah, there's the argument in there.
	For one thing, just on the face, firstly, you can't try and convince people with plastic as hell advertisement.
	That's what it is.
	Yeah, this guy.
	I mean, do you know he spent $105,000 on ads in Florida?
	Because he's obviously worried about DeSantis.
	And apparently he didn't mention DeSantis and Trump by name, but he had distorted pictures of him.
	I haven't seen these ads yet.
	So he's trying to appeal to people of Florida.
	He's obviously worried about DeSantis.
	And I tweeted the other day, that will be the ultimate battle of good versus evil.
	But that's what we're seeing in real time.
	California v.
	Florida.
	Exactly.
	It's perfect.
	But also all the examples are obvious BS as well.
	Don't you know in Florida they're banning books?
	It's like, yeah, you can't queer kids.
	Sorry.
	They're banning books.
	They're banning women, guys.
	You can buy all the books you want.
	They're all available.
	You can't go into the classroom and start telling the white kids they're evil being white.
	I was going to say how dumb does he think people are, but then I remembered his base is lefties.
	He also says they're restricting speech.
	Again, in the classroom, you can't, you know, abuse kids.
	But what about my free speech?
	I thought this was America.
	Okay, go somewhere else, please, homeless man.
	But then you have the making it harder to vote.
	Yeah, illegals can't vote.
	That's the law.
	Too bad.
	And then criminalizing women.
	If only, if only.
	But anyway, it's obviously comical.
	There's also, I don't know what the hell freedom from hate means.
	No, and I don't know how he's going to convince...
	He has to win over some people from the other side in Florida.
	I don't know how he's going to do it with this.
	But then why?
	Like, for what reason?
	Because it's not your state.
	You're not running for president.
	Well, he is.
	That's the thing.
	That's what people think.
	That's why he's doing this.
	Oh, yeah.
	People think Newsom...
	Oh, good luck.
	People think Newsom, so maybe I wasn't clear with what, is going for 2024.
	And this is why it could be DeSantis versus Newsom.
	It could be probably more likely Trump versus Newsom, but I'd love to see DeSantis versus Newsom.
	Good versus evil.
	Like you say, American Psycho.
	Newsom, he reminds me of, I think I said, a mayor, a corrupt mayor at the start of a Batman movie.
	Do you know what I mean?
	Who's going to turn out to be evil.
	He's so phony.
	He's so evil.
	But yeah, him versus Trump or DeSantis.
	People think that's what he's planning because Biden, Biden's not going to last.
	Harris has been sort of...
	Cast aside.
	Everyone's realised she's rubbish.
	Cackled into irrelevance.
	Yes.
	So they think this is their guy.
	Maybe.
	I'd like to see it.
	But he does make the advert as if, like, move to California.
	Trust me.
	It's full of freedom.
	As if anyone is stupid enough to believe that.
	It does remind me, actually, because I've read a lot of books on North Korea, and one of the things we went through is when loads of Koreans moved to Japan during the Imperial Era, when they were both under Japanese rule, and then once Korea was split into the North and South, there were loads of Koreans in Japan who went back to North Korea because there was advertised that, oh, look, the South is run by the American devils and We in the North are free, patriotic Koreans.
	Trust me, bro.
	Everything's fine.
	And there are loads of families that went over and then, you know, very quickly realized they have to.
	Big time.
	And this is what this advertising kind of reminds me of.
	It's like, trust me, it's full of freedom.
	Come over.
	Don't worry about how plastic and fake this all looks and how you know this is not true.
	Just come.
	And good luck to anyone who does.
	There's also people pointing out this is obvious BS, as you can see here.
	Just people listing a bunch of stuff that California did, to say the least.
	My favourite was filling the skate park with sand.
	I don't know if we've got that in there, but it's like, come back to California!
	What?
	Oh, yeah, that's sand.
	Yeah, don't worry about that.
	Yeah, and if we had the headlines, we can see them.
	So if we go to the next one here, we can see just some of the headlines here.
	California will require many healthcare workers and all state employees to get shots or be tested regularly.
	Boy, I can taste the freedom from here, unlike Florida.
	If you go to the next one, of course, there's more of that.
	California Governor Gavin Newsom imposes country's first K-12 vaccination mandate.
	Because, you know, that was approved by the scientists.
	Not in Florida.
	If you go to the next one, of course, you can also see, uh, inside Gavin Newsom's fateful decision to lock down California.
	Again, Mr.
	Freedom, I'm gonna lock you up in your homes.
	I mean, this is what I don't get.
	Like, if you are...
	If you were born, last today, and you're one years old, uh...
	You're probably not in charge of moving for the family.
	In which case, I don't know who the hell he's advertising to.
	Because everyone else remembers this.
	Surely.
	Right.
	And they all live in Texas now.
	Yeah.
	Or California.
	Sorry.
	Or in Florida.
	So if you go to the next one as well, you can also see there's more of this.
	Newsom orders all 40 million Californians to stay in their home.
	The world's strictest lockdown.
	Sorry, the nation's strictest lockdown.
	And then if you go to the next one, there's also just the absurdity.
	This is the funniest one that was in that list there.
	Which is just, they closed down the play parks for the kiddos.
	Because, you know, COVID. Or something.
	I don't know.
	That yellow tape.
	I remember that from our park benches.
	There was no reasoning about any of this.
	I know, so pathetic.
	Mad.
	But if you go to the next one as well, there's people obviously pointing out to him, shouldn't you be more worried about the third world S-hole you live in?
	You would have thought, as governor.
	Instead, you're endlessly trying to say that Florida is bad, but then, you know, look at it.
	I mean, there's just some pictures from California.
	It's true.
	I mean, I've seen...
	There was a YouTube video we featured a while back.
	There was some YouTuber who was like, you know, all these bad stories about LA. It can't be that bad.
	I went over and just filmed for like a day and a bit.
	Yeah, it was.
	I mean, there's just a lot of streets you don't want to ever go down.
	Loads of homelessness.
	Loads of drug problems.
	I was just like, eh.
	Yeah, to hell with this place.
	Don't want to be here.
	If you go to the next one as well, there's also just endless third-world imagery.
	I don't know if we can play this one just in the background.
	We don't need the sound.
	As you can see, just as the packages.
	Great American train robbery.
	The trash left behind.
	I mean, this was in the other part there, but as you can see, totally normal.
	First-world problems.
	And if you go to the next one here, I've seen Florida Governor DeSantis' press secretary responding and just having good fun.
	I do enjoy her.
	Do you follow her at all?
	I don't think so.
	Christina, she's a mean machine.
	As you can see here, number one U-Haul salesman of 2021, increasingly desperate to communicate with Californians who fled his left-lib dystopia for Florida.
	Sorry you aren't getting those U-Haul back.
	Yeah, demonstrably true as well.
	I was going to say he doesn't need to appeal to California because he's already got those voters and he's planning to appeal to swing states.
	But then again, they did recall him, didn't they?
	And then he won the recall vote.
	But they actually recalled him.
	You need to get like a million signatures or whatever it is.
	So ridiculous.
	He was so unpopular they actually recalled him.
	So maybe he does also need to still win California.
	Yeah.
	But her point is absolutely true, just by the data.
	If you go to the next one here, we'll go to reddit.com, as you can see here.
	And this is just a map showing the Exodus from California over the last few years.
	I don't know if you can play that, John.
	There should be a clip that can play, or a GIF, in which you can see just the spule of rats fleeing the ship.
	If it's not working, don't worry.
	Ah, there we go.
	Let's see.
	Nice.
	Get everyone getting the hell out of there.
	And of course, most of them go to sort of like next door states or whatnot, but then a bunch of them getting to Texas, as you can see, and Florida as well.
	Just getting the hell out.
	And that's over like a five year period.
	But if you get to the next one here, you can see over the last year's period, which, oh boy, like it gets better for Florida.
	Especially, well...
	Probably not better for Floridians who live there, because they're not having to share space with people from New York and California, but it's better for them in terms of, obviously, the best place to live for Americans.
	They're voting with their feet, of course.
	And as you can see here, there's just a graph, the red ones, where people are leaving, the blue ones, of course, where people are going.
	And if you go down to the individual counties they have there, they have a list of the most popular and least popular counties.
	And I think Florida makes half of the counties or something that are popular, and then the least popular ones are all New York and California.
	Have you watched Yellowstone?
	No, I haven't.
	The TV series.
	Just popped into my mind, because it's very good, actually.
	It's got Kevin Costner.
	My little spoiler alert, some bikers come down to Montana, and the cowboys in Montana, Kevin Costner and his mates absolutely mess them up, and they start digging holes to bury them in, because they're going to kill them.
	They go to the bikers, where are you from?
	California goes, figures.
	And he goes, what would you do?
	He goes, this is my home.
	What would you do if I came to your home and did that?
	He goes, I'd kill you.
	He's like, there you go.
	Start digging.
	Get ready.
	That's what it's going to be like.
	There's also the press secretary is also enjoying this.
	And I know we talk about her a lot, but it's honestly just because she's got good memes.
	I'll be frank.
	As you can see, this is just mentioning the fact that apparently California is now going to provide free healthcare to all illegal immigrants.
	Even though they pay the highest income in the country in taxes.
	It's like, great, wonderful.
	No one mentioned that in the advert either.
	But then if we go to the next one, she also just started posting Rome memes, which, I don't know why, but I kind of enjoyed this, I'll be honest.
	So let's just enjoy the memes.
	This is her response, presumably, to that attack ad.
	Rome, Total War music.
	We're in the city of seven hills.
	I'll have it.
	DeSantis, Italian.
	Italy, Italian.
	Coincidence?
	Yes.
	Sorry, I love that.
	I'm ready to storm California after that.
	The fourth Rome has been established.
	It's California, guys!
	But there is something to the fact that you can see people having fun, and it is true.
	I have seen it in campaigns.
	If someone is campaigning or just, you know, being a politician, just having a good old good time constantly with the whole thing, it tells you that they're confident, at least.
	They may not win, but it's definitely that they're confident in their position, and they're not scrambling to try and keep rats in the ship, like Newsom, who's desperately telling you, come to California, trust me, it's fine.
	She's not having to do that about Flora, so just...
	Post more rental warnings.
	That's what I always think.
	Why would you want to be on the left now and be like, yeah guys, I just want to wear a mask all the time in 100 degree heat and stay inside my house and have really high tax.
	It's like, what's in it for you?
	Obviously, the natural beauty of California is about all they've got left now at this point.
	They even have that.
	Well, yeah, I mean, there's that, but you've got, like, surrounded by a homeless encampment, so that sort of ruins it a little bit.
	That's from where I'm sitting.
	That one, great.
	But we can see, just the last thing here from her is just the fact that there's also some article put out there, the rise of the far-right Latinas.
	Okay, yeah, just so you know, like, everyone, every minority ever is far-right, provided they don't agree.
	But then the last thing here is some other adverts that caught my mind, because that's the battle between Florida and California.
	They're all, like, meme war going on.
	But then there's some other American ads that popped up in the last couple months.
	I don't...
	I'm making a statement.
	I just saw the start of this one and I thought, finally, Lotus Eaters have come out as...
	Hey!
	So you can see here, this is a Republican candidate here who decided to advertise himself by basically being like, yeah, you know those demon KKK rats?
	I'm going to get my gun.
	Let's play.
	Democrats like to say that no one needs an AR-15 for self-defense.
	That no one could possibly need all 30 rounds.
	But when this rifle is the only thing standing between your family and a dozen angry Democrats in Klan hoods, you just might need that semi-automatic in all 30 rounds.
	I mean, firstly, that is a beautiful outfit.
	I missed that.
	That is possibly, I don't want to oversell it, that's possibly the best thing ever.
	I mean, the point that the Democrats, I mean, they've got rakes, which is amazing, but the Democrats, of course, are famously the party of the KKK. And he's like, hey, it might happen.
	The Democrats might bring that, get it back together, get the band back together, come to my lawn with rakes.
	I've got to kill...
	What is it?
	There's 30 of them.
	You're going to need all 30 of them around.
	That's incredible.
	I mean, I don't know if that's even...
	How is that even legal?
	It's like self-defense is a human right.
	Yes, in the scenario he's making up.
	But isn't he sort of just threatening to kill a load of people?
	Hey, they're threatening him, so...
	That's true.
	But it just reminds me of the McCluskeys.
	You remember them?
	You know, Ken and Karen?
	That meme?
	Where the guy came out and there was BLM riots and they came to his beautiful mansion that he was renovating.
	And they came out with a rifle.
	It's like, you know, he was kind of fat, his little pink polo.
	And then his little wife came up behind with a pistol.
	And they just look like something from Vice City.
	Yeah, the Bonnie and Clyde people.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Ken and Karen.
	Yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
	Reminds me of that in a weird way.
	And it's just, it's very cool.
	I'll give them that.
	It's a very good advert.
	I would vote for him based on that advert alone.
	And I think I speak for most of America.
	But then, this has at least a little bit been compared to another advert that came a little while ago, which is a Democrat version of this, in a weird way, which is a guy who was running in Kentucky against, what was it, Rand Paul, and he decided to go with similar imagery, which is that He's gonna get hung if Rand Paul wins by the racists who, you know, want to keep lynching legal, which didn't really have the same effect.
	You can see here, he put himself in a noose for some goddamn reason, thinking this imagery looks good, because of course, as you mentioned...
	Who ran the Klan?
	Isn't this what happened to Jussie Smollett?
	Yes, literally.
	Playtime instead of real time.
	But also just the obvious confusion is just like, yeah, don't you know the Klan are going to come hang me if we let the Republicans run?
	It's so weird, man.
	It's like when Mitt Romney, although he was an alleged Republican, said, are they going to have you in chains again?
	You know what I mean?
	All that rubbish.
	Are we actually going to play this one?
	Are we not allowed or something?
	It's just not as interesting.
	He just rambles for ages about how Rand Paul is essentially going to hang us.
	It's just like, no, he's not the clan.
	So that doesn't even make any sense on a party level.
	Rand Paul the Libertarian?
	Yes.
	So weird.
	I want the government off my back for lynchings.
	The left really can't meme, and they can't do cool videos, can they?
	No.
	There are a lot of leftists who thought this was a really good advert, and they're like, oh my god, they're fighting hard.
	But it doesn't make any sense.
	The guy shooting people in Klan robes makes sense, because the Klan were Democrats, so he's defending himself from the political enemy.
	Yeah, and he's making a comic point about why he might suddenly need guns.
	Yeah, but it also ties into history and therefore reality, whereas the libertarian Republicans, yeah, they want to put us back in chains and become members of the Klan and lynch us.
	Yeah, the only guy questioning Fauci about his dodgy dealings, famous Republican, seems like a decent guy, Rand Paul, wants to lynch you.
	Absolute nonsense.
	Anyway, that's the state of American advertisement, these political ads.
	One of them is very cool.
	I'll certainly give him that, whoever the hell that is.
	I hope he just wins on that ad alone.
	Just stop campaigning.
	Don't even hand out leaflets.
	You're done, mate.
	Just text that to people.
	But otherwise, there's the California versus Floridian battle, and my money's on Florida, I'll be honest.
	Absolutely.
	See you then.
	Video comments.
	You know, I get it, we're all worried that the Dutch farmers might go the same way as the Canadian truckers, but they do have one small advantage I think might push things in their favor.
	Godspeed, you beautiful bastards.
	Thank you.
	Best of luck, I suppose.
	What a legend.
	If you don't know Callum, then no one knows what the significance of that tank was.
	You seem like a guy who's...
	It's Sherman, isn't it?
	Well, you're asking the wrong guy.
	I mean, you're the guy to ask about this.
	But I do find his Dutch farmer story really interesting.
	I was thinking we should cover it.
	I don't know if you have already.
	It is kicking off, and they've been shooting at them.
	Police have been shooting at them.
	Police tried to infiltrate them.
	It's like that Feds meme, and they got caught out.
	They got found because they turned up with masks, and it was like...
	Hmm.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Now we're farmers, bro.
	Bang.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So it's getting very nasty.
	It's very interesting.
	Dutch police are just some of the worst, it seems to me.
	Yeah.
	Apparently people are saying it's a Sherman flyer fly.
	So there you have it.
	But I do wonder if they're going to do the, what is it?
	So what's his point?
	Killdozer solution.
	Is his point that they have that tank, the farmers?
	Yeah.
	The tank, the farmers do have that.
	But then you can do a, you know about the killdozer, don't you?
	Yes, I do.
	The guy who smashed up all those buildings and eventually killed himself.
	Yeah, so if you weld in all the intros so they can't gas you or anything and then just start driving around Copenhagen.
	Sorry, not Copenhagen.
	Amsterdam.
	And, you know, make some noise.
	I feel like people would take notice.
	Oh, apparently they've already started armor-pacing their trucks as well, so...
	Very based.
	I'm looking forward to it.
	Peasants' Revolt.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	In the Netherlands.
	Kill tractor is on its way, people say.
	Certainly is.
	Let's go to the next video.
	Not sure what the rules are on inciting violence, but...
	Don't inciting anything.
	No, no.
	Chatting about violence.
	We're looking at a video of a nice little beetle, Rose.
	It's a metaphor of some sort.
	Alright, well, there you have it.
	There's a beetle and a rose.
	Is that the whole thing?
	Does that mean something?
	Is that like a motif or meme from Lotus Sears or has that baffled you?
	No, someone just decided to spend money to make sure that we saw that.
	Okay.
	Alright, let's go to the next one.
	I think what unnerves me the most about the imbroglio in which Boris finds himself is that, to my knowledge, none of those resigning in protest have actually stated what they think he's done wrong.
	This signposts a dangerous path as, since Boris was always a liberal, albeit one we thought we understood, if those seeking to oust him don't reveal what sort of person they are, then how can we know in what direction the Conservatives are coalescing?
	Boris was poisoned by Carrie, but Jabod and Sunak are clearly on the progressive scale.
	The media hate Boris because he reflects the poison in their circles, but that's not a safe premise to voice change on the public.
	I'd love to get Boris for an interview where he could just be candid and tell us about what the hell went wrong.
	Because the biggest complaint...
	I mean, we were at a cafe earlier.
	We just heard some guys next to us complain the same thing.
	The complaint is never, Boris has done this or done that.
	It's just he's a disappointment.
	At least not right.
	Well, I thought that was a brilliant comment there from the listener.
	And it's a very good point.
	What has he done wrong?
	This Pinscher thing is absolutely nothing.
	I mean, if that goes down in history, history writers will be like, what?
	Chris Pinscher?
	Nobody cares about it.
	Absolute nonsense.
	It's the war of attrition, obviously.
	It's Partygate.
	It's so many things.
	It's the Olin Patterson thing.
	But...
	Ultimately, it's just the media have decided to get rid of him, and the party have gone, yeah.
	And that's it.
	It's almost like when David Moyes had to leave Man United.
	This is the wrong reference for this fan base.
	But the rhetoric became overwhelming.
	Yes, Man United.
	At a certain point, media rhetoric becomes overwhelming.
	I think that the media have got rid of him.
	Now, the disappointment part, to me, and to a lot of people, is that he didn't take his mandate of the 80-seat majority and do anything Conservative.
	And obviously, COVID made it much harder.
	To me, he had to not go into lockdown, which would have taken, as I said on Twitter, Churchill or Thatcher levels of fortitude.
	But once he did that, it made all conservative economic policies incredibly difficult, right?
	It's just fundamental.
	Let's do pure politics.
	Screw everything that is economy and everything.
	But what are you going to do?
	You get in with an AEC majority and you think, okay, so I've got this base I can lean on and that will keep me in power, essentially.
	So what would you do?
	You'd pander the hell to look.
	You'd do all the based things that everyone was like, come on, do this and we'll support you.
	And he didn't.
	And now he's ended up with people that have just turned on him and now he's got no one to rely on.
	And I think you're right.
	Carey was a big part of that.
	Even Alison Pearson, who's a serious Telegraph journalist, says that once Carey got in and he went to this green lefty nonsense, that was a big mistake.
	Yeah, he lost Cummings.
	And you sort of end up...
	We saw Caesar before.
	You sort of end up friendless, don't you, in saying A2, Rishi.
	You know, you kind of end up with no one.
	You lost Cummings.
	You lost Javid.
	You lost Sunak.
	But that's the thing.
	You kind of sold everyone who supported you to get you in out and then signed up with these people.
	And then, of course, they're just, you know, fickle as anything.
	So when they turn...
	When you say that, it reminds me of Trump a bit.
	We're seeing all these moronic Trump comparisons with Boris.
	Like, oh, he's holding on and all this nonsense.
	There's all these idiots comparing him to Trump.
	I was going to say, what, he's managed to get the highest ever black and Hispanic employment while all this is going on.
	What a legend.
	But the way that he might be like Trump is picking the wrong people around him or listening to the wrong people.
	But at least Trump still has a base he can set on, essentially.
	Like, he can, you know, with him running for the next one.
	Like, he's still the highest polling for every candidate who would the Republicans pick.
	And he's got his base who will support...
	If Boris ran again in a leadership election, I don't know if...
	There's just...
	I don't know the rules.
	Let's just ignore them and say he can after he's resigned.
	Who in the party would actually back him?
	Because he's not pandered to anyone.
	He's not done anything...
	Nadine Doris is the answer to that.
	Yes.
	I mean, Nadine Doris will be on her knees for the rest of time.
	But as for everyone else, I just...
	It's just such a waste.
	Like, you had the easiest job in the world, just do things you're based like, and he threw that away.
	For what?
	For his girlfriend.
	His girlfriend, and ultimately, I think, just wanting to be liked, not being a stronger size leader with a vision, with an ideology.
	He just ultimately wants to be liked by everyone.
	Pathetic.
	And you end up being liked by no one.
	Yeah.
	The classic.
	Baste of time.
	See the next one.
	This here is the aftermath of bringing all my stuff to a convention.
	We got the trailer I used to move stuff, Marduk's torso next to some big lettuces, Marduk's bottom half in the backyard there, the assembly crane all packed up, in the garage we got Carrie, uh, unfortunately one of her neck linkages broke during transport, and the power armor, reject black-pilled gloomies, embrace the Omnissiah.
	I do wonder looking around there, is that like near your house or is that just a field in the middle of nowhere where you keep all this stuff?
	Because I'm kind of hoping that just if it is, then some rando just walks across it one day and is just deeply confused.
	He sounds like one of the cowboys in Yellowstone.
	I love that it's the most Americana thing.
	Just all these guys in their, I've said this before, in their garages like making deadly weapons.
	I love it.
	We pulled over for a rest stop in Jasper National Park because my sister's dog was getting real restless.
	We've been in the car for 12 hours so far and I thought I'd show you a bit of the scenery that we've got because it is absolutely stunning in this area and the camera just does not do it justice.
	Yeah, that's a good mountain there.
	Only 10 hours of driving left to go.
	It does look incredibly good.
	I'll say that.
	Also, good boy.
	Always like dog videos.
	Simple dog.
	Yeah, it's beautiful.
	I'm reading here that Firefly was a modified Sherman with a 17-pounder gun designed to fight the German Tiger tanks.
	I just found that in the document.
	I'm not sure if I'm supposed to read it or not.
	I just remember it from Company of Heroes.
	Just like, it's the last showman you can get that's any good.
	Otherwise, we shall get the written comments on the site.
	So, Free Will says...
	That's the one you just read.
	Sorry.
	Sorry, I'm subverting the show.
	On an idiot page, Free Will says again, If events progress as they have, there will soon be civil servants whose job, like Winston Smith, is to make sure the past tallies with the present.
	Oh yeah, they're with twitter.com.
	Literally.
	Yeah, sorry.
	I mean, they're not civil servants, but they are working the same job.
	Lord Nerevar says the trans debate is fundamentally broken on one side.
	There's the side that wants to hold up trans people as golden idols to whom all criticism or parody is beyond verboten.
	On the other is a cringe right who will consciously use old names of trans people to denigrate them in the name of political point scoring.
	What can we do from here?
	And there's a bunch of stuff that's scrubbed out by Peep, so I don't know what the hell you wrote, probably something about violence.
	The only difference is the second one is quite funny, and we did cover it today.
	People post their name, they're sort of saying that's a bit cringe.
	Pretty funny though.
	Yeah, I mean, there is actually some humour on one side there that isn't, you know, just taking the piss.
	But I can see what she means by you get those individuals who just do it for that's it.
	Like, that's all they can do is just say the old name and that's it.
	I know.
	I get what you mean.
	And I've actually been pretty uninterested in the trans thing.
	I always have to talk about it because of work, but I'm just like, meh.
	But yeah, it's not...
	But yeah, it becomes about power, though, doesn't it?
	When you've got your Hollywood elite people, it just becomes this weird power thing we've talked about anyway.
	But obviously the right thing to do is just learn how to live with reality, and in that regard, destroying history and banning people for saying something happened certainly is not one way to deal with it.
	No, it's bizarre neurotic censorship.
	Freewheel2112 says, I'd rather imagine the most marginalised people in the world currently reside in Chinese concentration camps.
	I doubt she's met any of them.
	Nah, she hasn't.
	She met Bolsonaro and got told that she was hot.
	You've seen that interview?
	No.
	She went and met Bolsonaro.
	Who did?
	Idiot Paige.
	Back in the old days.
	And she mentions, I'm gay, and you're anti-gay, so what's the problem?
	Why you've got against me and my love?
	And he just goes, I wouldn't even know, looking at you, if I was a soldier, I'd probably whistle at you.
	You're pretty fit.
	She sat there with a stone face, like...
	That is incredibly based.
	What a legend.
	And Bolsonaro is just laughing.
	He just doesn't care.
	Great point about Chinese camps.
	I mean, great stat.
	There's actually more slaves alive now than ever in history.
	It's a good little stat to throw out there.
	Yeah, one of the Constantines, actually.
	Spoilers.
	I've heard Douglas Murray say it.
	Maybe he nicked it.
	One of them nicked it.
	Oh, he just has a list of just like where they are.
	Yeah.
	Well, they ain't awfully white, that's for sure.
	Not white countries.
	General Haiping, Chinese Internet Battalion, says that the Lobster King has found his throne.
	May his rule be swift and just throughout the pronoun wars.
	Lobster King, that's no doubt a reference to that section too about Peterson at the Daily Wire.
	Wait, but...
	Oh yeah, carry on.
	Maureen Peters, people are bending over backwards to erase the former gender of the entitled trans people, and it is still not good enough.
	According to an article that I read from a trans woman, every time someone accidentally used his former name, he felt traumatized.
	Everyone has aspects in their past they are not happy with, it's part of the journey which took you to where you are now.
	Don't live in denial just because you want to live in a fantasy world.
	I mean, I know there are reasons to forget your past.
	I mean, that's why the French Foreign Legion exists.
	But to deny it ever happened, and if anyone says so, it must be censored.
	I mean, that is what is out being asked.
	Well, no.
	It's a bit much.
	Not doing that.
	Christian Johnson says, I like the fact they pointed out on Timcast the other day, this Ellen or Elliot has literally nothing to do with this fiasco, just a bunch of Twitter staff getting insulted on her behalf and keeping her dead.
	Looks very alive to me.
	Name in the news cycle.
	Totally true.
	It's a fair point.
	I mean, although Paige was doing some quite annoying things in those clips we saw, yeah, there is no evidence that ePage has any particular problem with this.
	No, I mean, too busy trying to get some muscles, which, um, good luck.
	Lord Nervar says, that is a very warm welcome for Dr.
	Peterson.
	His story is a weird one, especially recently, but it's good to see him landing jam-side up and still managing to do well for himself.
	So, a bunch of these seem to be in the wrong place, but never mind.
	Heathcliff Lowen says, Peterson points out at the end of World War II, the Nazis had to choose whether to focus their efforts on winning the war or killing more Jews.
	They chose to reduce the war efforts and up the genocide.
	Twitter will do the same.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	Probably true.
	They're going to do as much damage as they can on the way out.
	Kevin Fox says, But only calling for the death of black and brown people is taboo on Twitter and Facebook.
	Calling for the death of white heterosexual people is fine, since Al-Qaeda and the Taliban haven't been booted.
	No.
	Nor have any of the progressives.
	Or Nish.
	Did you see Nish's tweet?
	Yes, Nish's tweet.
	Hasn't it gone down that well, has it?
	That's Nish's whole shtick, isn't it?
	It is race baiting.
	I mean, I actually know Nish.
	He used to be a decent comic.
	Then he went for that thing.
	He went for the sort of tell the people who pay the license fee that they're scum approach.
	Which is what the BBC love to do.
	And he got that BBC dollar...
	How does that happen, though?
	Is it just you look at the money and think, okay?
	Or is he just surrounded by people and it gets influenced, or?
	It's hard to know.
	The comedy industry is so disgusting and so woke.
	I mean, they're just all like that.
	It's just a horrific business.
	And they've kind of been like that five years ago.
	When I started in 2011, stuff was creeping in.
	I was in this competition final that had been won by men for like centuries.
	And then it was an all-women judging panel.
	And they put a girl in who really was already sort of famous.
	And they said, it has to be a woman that wins this year.
	And that was the start of that kind of thing.
	You'd never really heard that before in comedy.
	It was just who was funnier.
	And then wokeness accelerated massively from then in the industry.
	And it got so crazy.
	And if you're a white man, it was like, of course, we can't hire you for our agency.
	Of course, I got in trouble for talking about this before.
	It's how I got cancelled.
	But yeah, that's what the comedy world has become.
	And something like Nish is just normal in the comedy world to say things like that.
	But in the rest of the world, people are like, that's a bit weird.
	And of course, his comment was so stupid because Rishi is massively rich.
	Well, both of them are richer than Boris.
	Yeah, and he said, what was it, a rich, oh yeah, Asians take down a rich white man.
	It's like, no, no, Boris may be entitled.
	He's been to Ian.
	He hasn't got any actual money.
	He's actually poorer than both of them.
	Yeah, Richie's rich and his wife's mega, mega rich.
	Nonsense.
	There was a little bit more on that section.
	I didn't have time for it, but I want to tell you anyway, which is that when I finished Douglas Murray's book, there was some sections in there that really made me start to think about stuff like that.
	You see from, you know, I know from Nish, it's just his racist opinion.
	And that's one thing.
	But when we checked out Douglas mentioning that during the COVID era, Joe Biden's CDC decided to look who to give vaccines to first.
	And they made the prediction that they would give it to people with brown skin first over white old people because, you know, racial justice.
	Trust me.
	And they calculated this would cause about 50,000 deaths per month, needlessly.
	But then they decided that that was worth it, because they were killing white people.
	So that wasn't that bad?
	Wow.
	Like, right.
	So that's some kind of crime against humanity, surely.
	And then it went further.
	In Boston hospitals, there's the emails that got leaked, between the hospitals writing to the staff of the, what was it, the heart surgery units.
	A&E for heart problems.
	And they said to them, because we're doing racial reparations, what you should do is check if the patient's white or brown, and if they're white, put them to back the queue, because, you know, brown people have suffered discrimination.
	So the staff obviously wrote back and said, well, that's immoral and illegal, surely.
	And then the email they got back, and Douglas quotes it, they sent back to the staff saying, proceed confidentially.
	Good sign.
	However, we believe that this will be legal and is backed up by the White House executive orders and then listed the executive orders that Joe Biden had signed for racial justice.
	So it's just like, okay, right.
	So we have given examples now of where this ideology has just killed white people because they're white.
	Wow.
	That is shocking.
	I need to read his book.
	It's not shocking.
	Well, it's shocking, but not surprising.
	Because if you demonize constantly one section of the population, of course that's going to happen, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Who thought this was not going to happen?
	Right.
	I mean, it's one thing.
	I mean, you've dealt with it, I've dealt with it, where they say you can't be hired because you're white.
	And I thought that was the moment where people would start realizing this is evil, surely.
	You can't even call it out, which is what I did, and just mentioned it and got brutally attacked.
	That's what's so funny.
	A girl who didn't get booked for being a woman, they said, oh, we've already got a woman on the bill or something.
	She got, in comedy, the biggest agent in the country off the back of that.
	I just tweeted, oh, look, I didn't get this thing because I was a white man.
	I got attacked brutally by the industry for a week in two national newspapers and the TV. Incredible.
	And what's going to happen is, years and years later, I might have said this, we're going to This oppression, this way you're allowed to treat white people terribly, that will eventually be realised.
	But it'll be so late.
	It'll be so far after it's already been a problem.
	Do you know what I mean?
	It's already a thing now.
	But it's already true.
	There are white families in Boston whose dad got a heart attack and died in the hospital because he was white.
	My dad died because of his skin tone.
	I mean, that is true.
	I know.
	And because the culture is so sold on its narrative that white people are the evil oppressors and privilege and so on, it's going to take decades before anyone actually acknowledges any of this stuff, I think.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I don't know if you want to read the comments on Jonathan Peterson's section or do you want me to do it?
	Yeah, I can do.
	I mean, what was it?
	But have you skipped the one that says Twitter has no rules, only excuses?
	Yeah.
	I don't know, but that's also true.
	So where am I going?
	Oh yeah, are you missing some of these ones above here?
	Yeah, so on Jordan Pearson, full-time...
	Yeah, yeah, I can do these ones.
	Okay, so the most egregious...
	Oh, this is Edward of Woodstock.
	The most egregious, I think, isn't asexual, it's demisexual.
	Oh, I need to feel an emotional connection before engaging in sex.
	That's called not being a slut.
	And it was the norm until recently, until really recently.
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	I didn't know that was a thing.
	Demi-sexual.
	That sounds like half.
	Demi means half, doesn't it, normally?
	The word demi.
	Or does it not?
	I'm thinking...
	Oh.
	Oh, that was dumb, yeah.
	Lesser sexual.
	Sorry.
	Well, no, half-half size.
	Demi-semi-quaver.
	So...
	Nick was still right.
	Let's just all chill.
	But, um...
	Okay, so I don't know what the connection is with demi there.
	But, um...
	That is a real thing I've heard before.
	Where they're like, I need to have an emotional connection before I have sex.
	And I was like, yes.
	I'm weird and I kind of need an emotional connection.
	It's like, yes, that's most of us, dear.
	It's called love.
	Okay, Joseph Smith.
	Westerns are so conservative.
	Oh yeah, that was my point.
	This is exactly why classic Star Wars is so good.
	Remember, Star Wars is just a Western in space.
	Good point.
	You have the dashing outlaw, Han Solo, the young naive hero, Luke Skywalker, the damsel in distress, Leia, and the evil sheriff, Darth Vader.
	Good point, Joseph Smith.
	Thank you very much.
	And is that Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism?
	Probably not.
	I don't think he's speaking to us from the grave.
	Right.
	Could be.
	Or it could be an American religious leader.
	Oh, no, that is him.
	Yeah, yeah.
	1805 died.
	Oh, assassinated in 1844, so probably not him.
	He was assassinated?
	Yeah, it must have been the whole...
	I didn't know that.
	Well, yeah.
	It got a bit edgy with the Mormons, didn't it?
	Brigham Young took over and they went down to Utah, as I recall.
	And there were some arguments about polygamy because Joseph Smith received plates.
	The angel Moroni came to him and said, write all this stuff on the plates.
	You get to have loads of wives.
	No one can see the plates or the angel.
	Rose Gonella, I hope Daily Wire eventually does full-length animated features in the style of classic Disney.
	That would be great.
	Really based classic Disney with Ben Shapiro voicing like a little frog or something.
	Well, I just think that's completely irrelevant, you know?
	It's so good.
	Do you want to comment on any of these, Callum, or should I just plow on?
	I was just thinking, I mean, you've seen the other Disney ones, haven't you?
	The ones that are banned for good reason.
	You've not seen the old Disney cartoons?
	Which ones?
	From the 30s.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, is this a special archive you have?
	They're really not progressive.
	Okay, I want to see those.
	They're banned.
	Mickey was not a good boy back in the day here, though.
	So, not a swamp German.
	I think woke movies might be going broke because they don't appeal to women either.
	As a woman, I didn't ask for female characters taking on male roles.
	It feels very fake and unnatural to have female characters stripped of anything feminine just to take on an unrealistic role.
	Can't women just be women anymore?
	Thank you, not a swamp German.
	Good point.
	Why do they have to be beating up loads of people that they definitely couldn't?
	When I'm watching Hal Berry and John Wick, I'm going, you know, we wouldn't last a second.
	Ma Ray Su from Star Wars.
	Oh, yeah.
	I didn't watch the ER. You keep saying, but I don't know if that's the character.
	Is that the character name?
	No, so she's called Rey.
	Yeah, Rey.
	Mary Sue is a character who's female who just, for some reason, has powers.
	It's like the author has just made themselves a character.
	I see.
	So they can do everything without any training.
	It's just like a...
	Oh, that's like a thing I should know.
	Okay.
	So ER, I'll send you his videos on Star Wars because they're gold.
	But he kept calling her Ma-Ray Sue instead and it just got stuck in my head.
	Oh, I see.
	Because you make these references, Calum, and you think I'm just going to know them as if I live in your head?
	No, but you know a lot of our references.
	That's the next thing.
	Usually we get a guess and they're just like, what's this internet thing?
	But I'm a lot older and you're like, I don't live in a little bunker in Swindon with weapons.
	That's a good bunker.
	Yeah.
	So I get some of them, but not all of them.
	Itachi of Konoha.
	Am I pronouncing that correctly?
	You're asking me.
	Konoha.
	Daily Wire is making DW kids with a starting budget of $100 million.
	Based kids show...
	Oh, based kids shows, and I'm here for it.
	Absolutely.
	Absolument.
	Hammurabi 6?
	I got my name legally changed due to a deep hatred of my given name.
	People still call me by my birth name and I don't care.
	Hell, people refer to me via insults and I still don't care.
	Miss Page is just trying to get as much attention for her floundering career as possible.
	Sure, it's what you said.
	People could call you another name and you'd have no recourse and you wouldn't care.
	You wouldn't get arrested.
	You wouldn't get kicked off Twitter.
	I don't worry.
	That's a question, actually, because in the United States, you've still got freedom except online.
	You can go F yourself.
	But in the United Kingdom, we have laws against this.
	So I do wonder if we start calling a British citizen who changed the old name, would the Bobbies come to the door?
	I mean, I'd wager yes.
	They probably would.
	That's the kind of thing they really get animated for, isn't it?
	Not so much for robberies and stabbings.
	This is interesting, though, actually, the floundering career thing, because you're like, actually, what can Paige do now?
	What kind of movies will they be in?
	Juno 2.
	Yeah, but very different.
	This time she's the guy.
	Juno 2, the horror.
	Oh.
	Oh boy.
	So that was Hammurabi VI. Thank you.
	So Andrew Narrag says, God bless the Daily Wire for their work.
	The increasingly fractured culture war we live in is unfortunate, but it feels great to finally see some strength in the mainstream right standing up to the left.
	Exactly.
	I mean, that's one of the things.
	I mean, the Daily Wire, for everything I hear, is huge.
	I mean, to have a budget of $100 million for just, let's try out some kids' shows.
	I mean, that's how big of an institution it is now.
	Sweet times to be Shapiro.
	Yeah, but it's also, it's not unearned either, because it's my understanding that you could get given money from subscribers.
	It's like, okay, we'll do a good job, and people might like your thing, give you money.
	I mean, that's how Disney used to work.
	Yeah, and they've got a new, I don't know, they've got a good deal up at the moment, and you can...
	Yeah, they've got some good stuff on there.
	I mean, Peterson, Matt Walsh, Candace.
	I don't know if you like Candace, but...
	I mean, they're a bit...
	They're not as based as Lotus, are they?
	They're a little bit boomer, but they're all right.
	I feel like they're based.
	I feel like Matt Walsh is, and I feel like they're getting more so.
	But I always sort of thought of them as...
	Do you know what I've thought of them as?
	People like Shapiro are very good on the social side, abortion and so on.
	Not so good on the political side.
	He was a never-Trumper.
	You know, they're a little bit...
	Yeah, I disagree with some of his reasoning.
	They're a bit lefty for me.
	Ben Shapiro, leftist.
	Much like Peterson, he's getting better politically, but he's been a bit globalist, he's been a bit centrist and posted some rubbish political tweets, but he's always been very strong on the social side.
	I think they're all doing fine.
	Okay.
	Well, they're all good.
	Yeah.
	Based Ape.
	A biromantic asexual.
	This is what happens when you try to apply logic to something that is so ridiculous on its face.
	Get in the sea.
	Nothing really to add to that.
	I agree.
	Free Will 2112.
	The essence of the left-wing ideologue is summed up in the old phrase that class war used to use.
	Politics is life, and life is politics.
	These activists are the living engine of the theory of permanent revolution.
	Without politics and activism, there would be no meaning in their lives.
	They will never stop.
	Great point, isn't it?
	A lot of these people, you look at them and you're like, this must be all they have.
	Fanning on about, like, fan stuff online.
	You just look at the pathetic tweets and stuff.
	You just think, then again, maybe wear the flip side of that.
	No, because you've got stuff to do.
	You've got hobbies that I enjoy.
	But if you turn to them and be like, what do you do on weekends?
	They'll be like, I tweet.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know you do.
	Lucky you.
	You're right.
	I play five-a-side football with normies.
	I love the idea of the GB News Five A Side team.
	Yeah, we don't have one.
	I've just got my one in North London where they've all gone mental about it.
	It's Boris and it's become insufferable.
	It's turned into a Boris bashing group.
	And I'm just like, oh, please give me your incredibly lame normie take.
	Do you know what I mean?
	It's painful.
	And I thought about just leaving the group just for the drama of it.
	Someone might post like, oh, Boris is going full Trump now.
	Nick has left the group.
	But I didn't.
	I guess I still want to play football.
	That's how they get you.
	Robert Longshore.
	Biromantic asexuals seek romantic but not sexual relationships with people of more than one gender identity.
	Wikipedia is cancer.
	I mean, yeah.
	What can you add to that, really?
	That's a Twitter bio I don't want to read.
	Right.
	Tinder bio, even.
	Yeah.
	Young girl, seeking no sex.
	Yeah, for many different partners.
	Yeah.
	Rose Ganella, again, hey, I'm a woman and I love original Star Wars.
	Soz.
	Yeah, sorry, that was a cheap shot.
	That was...
	It tends to be men...
	But I know it's not completely true, less so now than ever.
	When I grew up, women...
	I'm from the past.
	Women didn't like Star Wars.
	You didn't talk to women about it.
	But I know there are some cool...
	First rule of Star Wars, don't tell your wealth about Star Wars.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, I used to read the book.
	If you're talking to someone who read, like, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, like, I could identify all the bounty hunters on the Death Star and tell you their backstories.
	I mean, it was...
	You think Callum's a nerd, guys.
	I mean, sorry.
	Sorry, cheap shot.
	How is that me?
	Like, yes, I'm even more of a nerd.
	Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying, for knowing all the bounty hunters.
	But anyway, that was the comments from that section.
	Thank you, everyone.
	So, on the Florida-California war, Sir Edward Woodstock says, That ad was the most base political ad I've ever seen.
	Gonna need all 30 of those rounds.
	Hell yeah, dude.
	And when you're out, reload.
	Not a Swamp German says, The only freedom they have in California is the freedom to pay highest taxes in the entirety of the United States.
	Oh, no, you can do that anywhere else.
	You can donate your money on a check to the IRS. I think they accept checks, so...
	Democrats, vote for me, I'm a victim.
	Republicans, vote for me, I'm a Chad, says Edward.
	Yep, slightly true.
	Natras says freedom is under attack.
	He's not wrong there.
	That's about where he should have ended the ad.
	Kevin Fox says, That is a true point.
	I really just...
	I hate the hate industry.
	You know, Southern Poverty Law Centre, the Defamation League, and then politicians like that, where their entire career is just talking about hate.
	I know, stop hate as if anyone's pro-hate.
	Has anyone ever been pro-hate?
	Maybe Morrissey when he had viva-hate.
	It's nonsense.
	It's like harm.
	It's just a nonsense word.
	You immediately hear it now.
	You think, someone's trying to con me here.
	Because, yeah, it's meaningless.
	Society against bad.
	Yeah.
	And it was, I think it was that person, Brandeis, was he a lawyer or a justice?
	And he was a Democrat.
	And he's the one that said, he's pointing out that free speech in the First Amendment is all about the speech that we detest.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	And that's the whole, otherwise hate speech, otherwise free speech is meaningless.
	It's not just like, oh, I love puppies.
	No one cares about that.
	No.
	I mean, it was a Brendan O'Neill speech at the Oxford Union where he just lists all these intellectuals who were censored for promoting atheism or anything else.
	This is exactly what you defend.
	Yeah, Lewis Brandeis, by the way, I was referencing there.
	But anyway, just end on Free Will saying Boris quotes from Klaus Schwab.
	He gets what he deserves and his fate, which...
	Yep, agree with that.
	Anyway, I suppose we should probably all go back and check out how much of a disappointment he's been over the years.
	But otherwise, where would they catch you if they want to see more from you?
	NickDixonComic.
	So it's NickDixonComic on Twitter and elsewhere.
	And especially go to my Daily Skeptic article, Confessions of a Conservative Rebel.
	I should have plugged it on the main show.
	It's a great piece.
	It'll change your life.
	I'll put it in the link, don't worry.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	So, have a read of that.
	Nick Dixon comment, thanks.
	Otherwise, us, let's see this on the comment, of course.
	We'll be back tomorrow, one o'clock.
