	Hello, hello, hello.
	Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 561.
	Today I am your host, Harry, joined by my guest, Stelios.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about Prince William the Conqueror slaying his foe, Prince Harry the Scoundrel.
	We're going to be talking about rainbow games at school, and then we're going to be finishing off with a light look at the American Waffle House Wars, which, being somewhat English, where we don't have Waffle House, is quite the interesting look at the culture that you guys have over there, at least in the south, in some of the southern states, which is where Waffle House seems to congregate.
	And without any further ado, let's get into the news.
	So...
	Let's take a look at Prince William the Conqueror.
	That's right, a recent news story has come out as a result of Prince Harry, the scoundrel, the fiend, the coward, releasing his memoir, or at least he's going to be releasing his memoir in a few weeks, called...
	What's it called again?
	It's called Spare.
	That's it, it's called Spare.
	I've seen some disparagingly remarking that it should be called Simp instead.
	Certainly that would be a more accurate title for it.
	I think the title comes out of a quote that allegedly King Charles said.
	Well, apparently this is just a royal thing.
	From what I've been reading in the news, apparently it's just a pretty typical royal thing.
	You have your heir, and then you have the spare.
	Which makes perfect sense.
	It seems that he's a little bit resentful about it, but Harry seems to be a man who can really hold on to resentments like the woman he actually is.
	We both know who wears the trousers, who wears the pants in his relationship with Meghan.
	So, before I go any further, I'd like to point you all towards Carl's latest article on The Sensible Centre, which is the...
	Political formulation that he and AA have been concocting for a few months now.
	I will warn you, I have not read this article, so I cannot condone nor approve of the messages therein as of yet, because it is quite the monster.
	You can tell just by the audio track that it's available for our Silver members if you scroll down, just so we can take a look at it, John.
	Yep, that is almost an hour long, so it's a big article, and I'm sure that Karl goes into a lot of detail with his arguments and explanations of what the sensible centre is, and why it is that he's arguing for this as a reframing of the debate.
	Once again...
	I'm still, you know, perhaps ironically fence-sitting a little bit on the whole idea of the sensible centre idea, but I do get the, I do really like the idea of reframing the debate as the leftists are and always will be historical extremists.
	I definitely like the idea of being sensible.
	Yeah, I like the sensible aspect.
	It's the centre part, which is like, hmm, but...
	Then again, I've not read the article.
	I've not read the article, so once I do read the article, perhaps I'll have been convinced.
	Anyway, let's get on to it.
	So, folks will be aware that what's been going on with the royal family for a long time has been hitting headlines.
	Prince Harry and Meghan's departure from the royal family, Meghan's accusations of racism.
	Apparently, one of the royals asked them what colour the baby would be.
	Honestly, Meghan's pale enough that I don't think that's a worry that you need to have in the first place.
	Plus, Harry's a ginger, so how could it come out as anything but pale and specky?
	But the most recent thing that was coming out was the Netflix documentary, which Dan and I watched the first three episodes of, known as part one of that.
	We released this video talking about it, Three Years a Royal, which I did enjoy the video, I didn't enjoy the research I had to do for it.
	You can't make me watch Part 2.
	I enjoyed the title, I must say.
	Yeah, I thought my title for it was quite clever, so I appreciate that.
	Got some good clicks.
	But I'm not watching Part 2.
	I really don't want to watch Part 2.
	I was trying to watch, you know, something else the other day.
	You took one for the team.
	Well, no, I was trying to watch just something else the other day while I was just chilling out in the living room, and the missus tried to put part two on, and she couldn't last through it, and I just was ignoring it.
	I was just like, no, I'm not watching this, because I just do not want to, because it's just smears and accusations of racism, claiming that the UK, and Britain in particular, It's just an evil, racist place to be, despite the fact that there were plenty of videos of loads of people around during the weddings that they had.
	I think episode four, the first part of part two, was focused on the wedding, and it was showing all of these...
	Rows and rows of people either side of roads in England as they were coming down, as they were being driven through the streets, just waving the Union flag, doing lots of stuff, being very positive about the whole situation.
	All the while, Megan is just getting ready to say, all these people who celebrated me, who were so happy for my wedding, who were really happy for me joining part of the royal family, they're all just racist.
	They're all just evil.
	Look at them.
	They're old and white and English, therefore they're racist.
	Evil people.
	I really don't like this idea of making everything a public affair.
	This is a family issue.
	It should be confined within the family.
	It absolutely should, especially with the royal family, who are basically figureheads for the country.
	There is a certain level of hierarchy that needs to be adhered to, and part of that hierarchy involves the public are not to be part of private royal spats.
	Yes.
	That's just...
	How it goes, that's how it should be.
	I'm not saying that that's been how it's always adhered to.
	Historically, obviously, we in Britain have quite the history of royal arguments and spats throughout the years, but in terms of protocol, that's how it should be, and we should remain respectful.
	But Harry has done everything that he can to make it public, which is ironic, seeing as that, once again, in his never-ending quest for some privacy, finally, he's releasing this memoir.
	Seems counterintuitive, but, you know, that's his prerogative, that's how he's going.
	But I did notice that this, this morning, was trending.
	Hashtag Prince William is a King, and that was on Twitter.
	Very interesting, and I thought, where's that come from?
	And then I looked at the news and found out exactly why.
	It's because in the press...
	Excerpts and leaks of Harry's memoir, Spare, have been released.
	Supposedly, this is from an insider who gave the information to the Sunday Times, I think it was.
	But the leaks are quite telling, and despite what Harry may want, really don't make him look good, and they make William look like an absolute Chad.
	Well, no publicity is bad publicity.
	At least in Megan's mind.
	I don't know.
	No publicity is bad publicity works if you already have the entire media class on your side.
	Because the only bad publicity that they're really getting is from the public, whereas all their friends are baked into the media class.
	They're really embedded in there.
	So even if the public actually despised them, Purely because of the fact that they're royals and that they have this timely, topical, race-bait narrative about the royal family being racist.
	It means that there's always going to be opportunities for them.
	Spotify will just stand by for like a year and a half while they say, oh, we've got a podcast coming out, and then it takes almost two years to get around to actually releasing parts of it.
	It's a shame, but that's just the way that the situation is being handled right now.
	But it does mean we can get some funny memes out of it, and it does mean that we can get some opportunities to celebrate the rightful heir, that being Prince William.
	And I'll just go through a bit of the information.
	So, like I say, the memoir has been leaked, or at least a bit of it has been leaked by this insider, and in it, Prince Harry has claimed that his brother, Prince William, physically attacked him.
	And, um...
	The book says that the row was sparked by comments Prince William made to Prince Harry at his London home in 2019.
	Prince Harry, the paper says, writes that his brother was critical of his marriage due to Meghan Markle, and that Prince William described her as difficult, rude, and abrasive.
	Fact check, true.
	Confirmed.
	I completely agree.
	There's nothing you can do to convince me she isn't any of those things.
	Do we know anything about the context of this scene?
	Let me just go through a bit more of this.
	I heard somewhere that Meghan Markle was being very rude to stuff.
	I have heard that as well, but I've mainly seen that reported through Twitter posts.
	I've not seen that in the Guardian's original article or any of the other ones talking about it.
	But, then again, it might be the case, perhaps I've just not found the right information to confirm that.
	But you are right, there are allegations that it was because Meghan Markle and Harry in particular were being really rude to staff at Buckingham Palace or wherever it was that they were, perhaps Windsor, and apparently reduced a 22-year-old maid or staff member to tears, and Prince William was, Very upset about this.
	And to be fair, given the sort of attitude that we can see from Meghan Markle, she tries to put on the smiley face, she tries to put on this, oh, I'm a glowing princess kind of persona in public, and even that is not convincing.
	If you're a terrible actor, Megan, why you were being hired in the first place is obviously due to the fact that your dad was already embedded in the industry.
	So it's just clear nepotism.
	You are not a talented actress.
	Also, you're barely even black, so just shut up about it, for the love of God.
	So the Duke of Sussex reportedly writes that his brother was parroting the press narrative as the confrontation escalated, because Prince Harry has never once parroted a press narrative, right?
	Not like in the documentary that Netflix released, he was parroting the press guardian David Olisuga narrative about the British Empire, which is evil.
	The only reason we were going out to all of those countries was to oppress them in the first place.
	It wasn't for trade relations, we were never teaming up with other sovereign leaders in those areas and creating mutually beneficial alliances or anything like that.
	No, we only did it because we heard that there were brown people out in the world somewhere, and we wanted to put a stop to it.
	Maybe.
	Maybe, Harry.
	But if you read the sorts of journals that these people wrote back in the day, it was a bit more complicated than that, if you examine the situation.
	But then again...
	I understand you're more American than English now, so it's understandable that, you know, reading old books isn't your style.
	Let's carry on.
	So he sat down a glass of water, called me another name, then came at me.
	It all happened so fast, so very fast.
	I grabbed it.
	He grabbed me by the collar.
	I can just imagine, like, tears streaming down his eyes.
	He's, like, choking on his words as he's...
	Because the book was basically ghostwritten.
	So he's obviously dictating this to somebody.
	He's got tears running down his eyes.
	He's choking down sips of liquor because he just...
	I can't deal with it, you know?
	He grabbed me by the collar.
	Give me some space.
	Yeah, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.
	I landed on the dog's pole, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me.
	I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.
	So what we're describing here is a pretty simple thing that brothers do.
	As far as I'm aware, I don't actually have any brothers, sadly.
	Always wanted them, but never had any brothers.
	But I know lots of people who've had brothers, and they fight.
	It is typical, yeah.
	Do you have brothers?
	My brothers are nine and a half years younger.
	Okay, so you bullied them.
	No, I didn't because I was much older.
	Exactly, that's why you were in a position of extreme advantage to bully them.
	I was a wise old brother, a wise big brother.
	So did they bully each other?
	Did they fight each other?
	Yes, eventually, yeah.
	Especially when they started playing Smackdown.
	Oh yes!
	They try to do the same movements.
	When I was like 12, I had a trampoline in the back garden.
	I used to invite the next door neighbor kids around so that I could practice choke slamming them.
	That's what you gotta do, right?
	But brothers do fight.
	Young boys generally fight.
	Especially when the age isn't that different.
	Yeah, and generally, obviously, generally with young kids, both of them will tend to be in the wrong because it'll be some petty nonsense.
	But I think Harry's definitely in the wrong here.
	And perhaps your brother was just trying to teach you some manners there.
	Harry writes that his brother urged him to hit back and refused to do so.
	Pretty soy there, Harry.
	And Prince William later looked regretful and apologised.
	He was probably just regretful that you turned into such a bitch, Harry.
	Let's be perfectly honest here.
	You're a trained soldier, man!
	You're a trained soldier.
	You're trying to defend your woman's honour.
	This man has called your woman abrasive, rude, belligerent.
	You're supposed to be there and stand up for her.
	You're not just supposed to take it in the jaw and then go whimpering off to write about it in some book.
	You are incredibly feminised, Harry.
	You used to be a soldier.
	You used to be cool.
	And now you're a little whiny bitch.
	Why has this happened?
	Oh, it's because you are with a gaslighting witch of a woman.
	Everybody knows this.
	She's driven you away from your family.
	You're moaning in interviews with the ITV that, oh, I just want my family back.
	I want my dad and I want my brother back.
	Maybe, maybe if you actually apologised, maybe if you stopped doubling down on your nonsense, maybe if you stopped accusing them of being racist and going into these Americanised post-colonial narratives, Maybe they'd accept you back.
	Like, I'm pretty sure, family, blood is thicker than water, right?
	Okay?
	Let's say if you had siblings and you had a fight with them, would you go out on air and make it a public affair?
	No.
	Or would you try to say, okay, let us sit on the table and try to discuss it like adults?
	I mean, that's what you should do.
	But Harry is being...
	Really, really, I don't know, this is very feminine behaviour from him.
	Instead of actually confronting, instead of dealing with it like a man, he's gone to the press, he's writing books about it, he's trying to smear them in the public eye.
	It's reputation destruction, which is just kind of what women do to each other.
	Men should be a bit more direct and confrontational about this, which is, you know, what seems like William was trying to do.
	Seems like William was trying to give you some good advice, Harry.
	I saw a good meme somewhere where someone had a quote from the book where Prince Harry says, I want a family, not an institution.
	And the response was, well, how about starting with dropping the title?
	Yeah, you can drop the title.
	There's lots of things that you can do.
	And we may add, if you don't want an institution which is public, why do you make this public?
	Yeah, one of the big things about the royal family for the past, you know, 100 years or so is that a lot of the private affairs have been kept private and should have been kept private, rightly so.
	And he's the one who's been going out and making all of the inner workings and all of this drama public when he really shouldn't have.
	While saying that he wants no drama.
	Yeah, while saying he wants no drama and while he's saying, oh, me and Megan, we just want our privacy back.
	Anyway, here's my tell-all expose book.
	Buy it now!
	So in the couples Harry and Meghan documentary Prince Harry described a meeting he had attended with his brother and father the now king And this is presumably from part two which I have not watched and will not watch out of principle Prince Harry described the conference in early 2020 which was also attended by the late Queen as terrifying It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that weren't simply true True.
	And my grandmother quietly sat there and took it all in.
	According to the paper, Prince Harry writes that his father stood between him and Prince William and said, please boys, don't make my final years a misery.
	Yeah.
	That's fair request.
	Don't do that kind of thing to your dad, who probably, you know, just wants everything to be alright, he wants everything to be kosher between everybody, but no.
	No, you've just got to turn everything into a petty bitch fight in the media.
	Family is all you have at the end of the day, as far as I'm concerned, and you abandon them, turn your back on them for media press and notoriety.
	And I don't understand why he's saying this about everyone because I've been in family fights and not everyone has to react in the same way.
	So I don't understand why the previous queen...
	Me and my family have had massive arguments in the past.
	Everybody's had massive arguments with their family in the past.
	But one of the things that you do if you care about your family is you reconcile and try and put it behind you.
	Prince Harry is acting like all of those insufferable Gen Z leftists that we see on TikTok and on Twitter who are saying, here's how you can convince your family to be socialists over the dinner table at Christmas.
	Or, if your family's racist, then they're evil and you should abandon them.
	This is this really...
	Toxic, negative attitude where it's family is something conditional.
	And yeah, if your family are legitimately abusive, they're beating you, belittling you, you know, actually being abusive towards you, then there's an argument to be made.
	But this is just normal family stuff.
	And he's treating it like it's the end of the world.
	And he and Meghan didn't have to choose this path.
	They chose to go down it themselves.
	And then there's other funny headlines that I've been noticing, which is that in the same excerpts that have been leaked to the press, supposedly Harry is claiming that William and Kate told him to wear that notorious Nazi uniform that he wore at the party and howled with laughter when they saw him in it.
	If this is true...
	I see no problem with this.
	I see no problem with this.
	Pretty funny.
	I see a problem with this.
	It's indecisiveness.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Especially when we have indecisive people, they are very prone to be manipulated by those who play in their emotions.
	Because they can't decide and they want someone to decide for them.
	That's a good point.
	So the little bullet points here.
	So he was considering either wearing a Nazi uniform or a pilot uniform.
	You know what?
	If you're considering the choice between Nazi uniform and pilot uniform, you know what you're going for.
	You know what you're actually going to go with.
	You're asking for it.
	You know if you ask Will and Kay what you should go for.
	They're going to go for the funny one.
	They're going to go for the meme answer, which is the Nazi uniform.
	You wanted to do this.
	Stop delegating responsibility to everybody else.
	Everybody else except himself.
	That's what he's doing.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's very, very annoying.
	And just own it.
	It's a funny uniform.
	You don't need to grovel.
	You don't need to go to the chief rabbi, Jonathan Sachs.
	You don't need to speak to Holocaust survivors.
	Embrace the meme.
	Accept it.
	You did it as a joke.
	That's as far as it goes.
	Someone shared this with me as well, this headline, which was from GB News, talking about Prince Harry's bombshell book has price slashed as UK stores selling it for half price before it drops.
	And I thought, oh my god, are they saying that no one's going to buy this?
	No, it's just a clickbait headline from GB News, because what it actually turns out is because Amazon and other online retailers are going to be selling the book cheaper than retail stores will, Tesco and other big supermarkets are just going to slash the price to make it competitive.
	It's that simple.
	They do it with a lot of books, but I was kind of hoping.
	I was really hoping that just out of sheer disrespect, the supermarkets were just like, no, people aren't paying that much for this rubbish, because it was going to go for £28.
	Oh, come on.
	£28, brand new hardcover.
	I don't care if you're a prince, Harry.
	That's not worth it.
	Who would give £28 for this?
	There are some people, yeah.
	David Olasoga, BBC journalists, those sorts of people, I bet they're going to be lining up for their first copies on the release day.
	And, you know, I think all of this...
	When they wait for the paperback edition.
	I might set sail to the Seven Seas to see if I can find a copy of it elsewhere.
	But Carl kind of summed all of this up quite nicely with this juxtaposition, this beautiful juxtaposition of the man that Harry was, a member of the army who served in Afghanistan, if I remember correctly, to this screenshot that gained a little bit of notoriety on Twitter when it first came out from part two.
	Part 2 of the documentary, and just click on that.
	Imagine going from this to this.
	Just click on that second image for us there, John.
	Harry has embodied the soy jack.
	He looks like a mixture of the consumer soy jack, while also being the spitting image of the kuma soy jack.
	It's terrible.
	And the subtitles as well.
	Meghan just saying to him, Beyonce just texted, Harry gasps.
	He's even doing the hand motions.
	He's even doing the, Oh, consume!
	I must get my new product!
	Beyonce, you're a prince!
	You're a member of the royal family!
	You have history going back a thousand years!
	You can trace your family lineage back a thousand years!
	And Beyonce, some flash-in-the-pan, overrated pop hussy...
	It's got you excited, got you shaking your hands like a little soybean that you are.
	I mean, for the love of God, what has happened?
	He wants to be king of the woke.
	Yeah, sadly he does.
	You know, his brother is the king of England.
	Well, will be, certainly, yeah.
	Will be, and he says, if I can't be number one, I have to be number one in something else.
	Yeah, you're absolutely right there.
	He's basically gone, okay, William's the guy who's going to be king?
	Fine.
	I'll make my own name as a little whiny baby.
	There you go.
	I did have some other stuff to talk about with Jordan Peterson basically being prescribed, being censored by the Ontario College of Psychologists, but I think we can save that information for another day because I'm not feeling that it's fitting in too much with the rest of this segment right now, so I think we'll move on to the next segment.
	So yeah, Harry, just shut up.
	Shut up and stop being a little bitch.
	Okay.
	So, before we begin, why not visit www.lottoseaters.com and read Why Unconscious Bias Training Does Not Work, Part 1, Weekend Podcast Number 15, where Josh and Callum talk about the pitfalls of unconscious bias training.
	Now, let the identity games begin.
	An article came into my attention titled General Motors Funds Transgenderism Efforts in Children's Classrooms.
	I'm reading from the article.
	General Motors provided a grant to a pro-transgender organization that supplies kindergarten and elementary classrooms with children's books that supports its ideology.
	The Detroit-based automaker made a donation last year to the Gay and Lesbian and Straight Education Network's GLSEN's Rainbow Library Program.
	I mean, GLSEN, that abbreviation is kind of sus.
	I'm not going to lie, that's kind of sus.
	It is very suspicious, and you will see that the more we go along.
	Oh, the second I see anything educational related to gay and lesbian for, like, small children, I'm like, okay...
	Okay, what's going on here?
	I do not trust the intentions of anybody funding these sorts of things.
	And it's just a shame that even a company, just like a random car company, General Motors, is like, we need to have a stake in this conversation.
	No, you don't.
	Make cars.
	There you go.
	And how do you feel about the Rainbow Library program of that organization?
	The Rainbow Library program.
	So this will just be books like Genderqueer.
	They'll probably get some gender trouble.
	They'll probably get Gail Rubin in there as well with her book talking about how nonces are actually the same as civil rights activists in the 1960s and people like that, you know.
	We have all sorts of colorful stories.
	Okay, let's continue.
	The pro-transgender organization is known for lobbying school districts to allow boys who have undergone sex changes to play on girls' sports teams and use female-specific restrooms, Breitbart reported.
	The GM report admitted to funding the Rainbow Library's efforts to provide supporting curriculum, materials, and book sets that are LGBTQ plus-centered, racially diverse, and multicultural to K-12 schools.
	This innovative program also provides ongoing support and professional guidance for educators to create inclusive, supportive and identity safe classrooms nationwide.
	It continued.
	GM did not mention how much money was awarded to the pro-transgender group, but it did provide $86.7 million in cash and in-kind donations to nonprofits working to help create inclusive solutions to social issues around the world in 2021, according to the report.
	Now, pro-transgender organization attempts to change school curriculum.
	GLSEN has been accused of allegedly trying to add trans and non-binary gender theory into school policies and curriculum.
	According to its website, GLSEN provides a list of lesson plans, educator guides and professional development trainings for educators.
	So they are trying to make classes more inclusive and they're trying to say that we can do this by having more LGBTQ plus friendly material and they want to have teachers adopt the practices that they recommend in order to achieve their goals.
	Yeah, this is very unsurprising.
	They want to monopolise the kinds of values that are being taught within schools, because obviously they try and dress it up, they try and portray it as neutral.
	We're just relaying the facts of the matter, but that's not actually the case.
	It's never the case.
	Back earlier on, well, last year now, me and Thomas did that video where we were talking about what a...
	Your kids actually being taught in school, where it was this video presentation by this incredibly effeminate, I'm sure he would describe himself as queer, man.
	I think it was like fantastically Latinx or something was on his t-shirt that he was wearing for all of the videos.
	And he was just misrepresenting the information to children, presenting them with obviously politically biased books, where it's about a teddy bear who's a boy, but the teddy bear wants to be a girl teddy bear.
	All this sort of information presented in a cute, colourful, shiny, child-friendly way to present them very child-unfriendly information.
	And wouldn't you also be surprised, I go onto GM, I just type into Google, General Motors, ESG, what do I come up with?
	General Motors, ESG leader in the auto industry.
	So even if General Motors, because they stick to these sorts of things, it's unsurprising because ESG is basically a racket to ensure that all companies that fall under it, if they don't want to promote these values, then they're going to get absolutely hammered in the stock market because they will just have their stock prices destroyed right then they're going to get absolutely hammered in the stock market because they will just have their stock prices destroyed right from under them just due to the power of places It's absolutely ridiculous.
	I agree, and especially there is this SRI initiative, the socially responsible investing part in ESG, that it's responsible for all this.
	Funding these sorts of organizations and these kinds of activist lobbies are probably a way of getting the ESG score up on that socially responsible investing part.
	Yeah, so we'll start with some of the books that they suggest and then move to some of the games that they suggest.
	Oh, here we go.
	Okay, so one of the books which can be found on Amazon is called I Am Jazz, about a boy who discovered that he was a girl from the age of two.
	Now, if we click the Amazon link and we scroll down a bit, we see that the reading age is four to eight years.
	Mm-hmm.
	This was one of the books on that curriculum that Thomas and I looked at.
	It is absolutely ridiculous.
	Some of the claims that were made were sick, and it was obvious that this child had just been manipulated by their parents because he was just a normal kid, and like normal kids do, they explore boundaries, they push boundaries so they can understand what's acceptable.
	He plays with girls' toys and says, oh, I think I'm a girl at two years old, and the parents go, right, we'll get you an appointment with the doctor.
	Let's click on the next link, the video, to see exactly what is going on.
	Yeah, I thought I recognized this person.
	It was like a dream.
	This is a moment that I had always envisioned.
	It's a dream she's had for as long as she can remember.
	What happens in the good fairy dream?
	So when I was two years old, I went up to my mom and asked her, when is the good fairy going to come with her magic wand and change my penis into a vagina?
	You were two.
	Yeah.
	For the now 18-year-old Jazz Jennings, that dream is about to become a reality.
	This is something I've always known that I wanted.
	BS. Do not trust.
	Obvious nonsense.
	This is a child who has been brainwashed, gaslit, and fed lines for his entire life.
	People always point out this example, but we can just go back to the example of John Money and his sick experiments with poor David Raymer.
	I don't really feel like going over that story right now, but look up John Money and his sick experiments to see exactly how these kinds of experiments go, because that's what this is.
	This is an experiment, a sick one.
	Let us go to the next link, which takes us back to the main article.
	There we go.
	I think we're back to the main article, aren't we?
	Yeah, thinking conservative?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, here we are.
	Okay.
	Oh, yeah, I can see right there, top line, another example.
	Another example from the book list is the sexually explicit Genderqueer by Maya Kabobi, which contains depictions of sexual activities and descriptions of fantasies and experiments.
	Megan Brock, a parents' rights advocate, accused GLSEN of attempting to exploit the Rainbow Library program to covertly groom and influence educational policy in a Twitter post.
	Brock posted a video of a GLSEN meeting Meeting of what appears to be staff discussing the promotion of transgender books to children.
	In addition to children's books, the organization has been trying to influence school math departments with articles like how do we make math class more inclusive of trans and non-binary identities?
	Because math classes are supposed to be very anti-trans.
	How do we make trans-inclusive maths?
	I don't know.
	This is just the next chapter of craziness.
	Now, if we go to the next link, we'll see from Megan Brock's Twitter account, if we click on the second photo, that GLSEN is giving Advice for LGBTQ plus youth for how to survive Christmas.
	And...
	This immediately brings out...
	I have seen some very based Christmas stories from the...
	What was it?
	The Twitter page Transphobes Posting Ws.
	Transphobes Posting Dubs, which had some very amusing stories.
	And it has this...
	It's addressed to this with this vague notion.
	Non-affirmative...
	Homes.
	And it says, home for the holidays.
	Holiday breaks can feel long and exhausting to LGBTQ plus students that do not have safe homes.
	It is helpful to be in community with others by looking for safe spaces around you, including nearby shops, organizations, and other groups of people, or even friends.
	As far as I'm concerned, all this is doing is taking kids out of their homes and just encouraging them to go to people who will predate on them.
	Yes, and tells them that basically if your parents disagree with your self-conception when you're a teenager or younger, then your home is not safe and leave your home.
	People always complain when you use the term groomer against these kinds of people, but this is actual grooming behaviour.
	So let's go to the next link, which is a video, and listen to what people from GLSEN are saying.
	So the Rainbow Library, we send LGBTQ plus affirming books to schools and libraries for free, along with additional GLSEN resources.
	We have four different grade ranges for the books that we send out, K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
	We put a major emphasis on books that center the voices of trans and non-binary people.
	As well as books that center the voices of BIPOC LGBTQ plus people.
	I know myself as a former teacher that having a high quality LGBTQ plus affirming books at my fingertips would allow me to seamlessly integrate this into a reading lesson that I otherwise would be teaching anyway.
	So it's that first step for getting in front of kids, getting into the instruction for all students.
	And last but not least, the Rainbow Library serves as a positive proof point.
	So it can allow a district or a state to have that first stepping stone for inclusive curriculum at the district or state level.
	So once a Rainbow Library is rolled out, At a school and adults, family members see all the positive impacts of it there.
	They hear the positive stories of students feeling affirmed and safe because of these books, activating their curiosity.
	There is more demand for more change, including policy change.
	I mean, this is just pretty typical.
	I've seen plenty of this before.
	What organisations like this will tend to do as well, as well as the Rainbow Library, which they said explicitly, positive proof points.
	So they're trying to use it as just a stepping stone, like they say, to get it into district and state levels, which...
	places like seattle um washington state and california are already more than happy and eager to do they'll also set up within these schools things called gay straight alliance clubs the gsa clubs which are just boot camps for kids to be indoctrinated never take these people on their word never take them as good faith they're not trying to educate kids they're not trying to create a more positive environment for kids they're just trying to brainwash them into their ideology and values it's awful Yes,
	it is a typical behavior coming from those organizations, but I searched a bit more.
	Oh, yeah.
	And I found some really disturbing things.
	Oh, great.
	If we go to the next link...
	They have this policy, you know, document that is titled Educating Educators.
	And in the preface, in page 9, if we go, they say that teachers are often the first adult allies LGBTQ plus students share their identity with.
	It is critical that these teachers be trained and prepared in how to support these young people.
	And then it continues, So they need to give instruction.
	How do we get these teachers to toe the line?
	How do we get this?
	Yes.
	Now, if we go to page 72 out of 100 of the document, they also say, Teacher educators have a responsibility to prepare their pre-service students with skills and knowledge to support and affirm LGBTQ youth in their classes and create learning environments Teacher educators have a responsibility to prepare their pre-service students with skills and knowledge to support and affirm LGBTQ
	By engaging in LGBTQ inclusive teaching themselves and including LGBTQ specific topics in their courses, teacher educators support similar work in their students' future classrooms.
	Okay, now, one interesting thing about this is that there is zero mentioning of the notion of detransitioners.
	Oh, that's absolutely the case.
	They don't want them to know that detransitioners exist.
	If they're starting to experience or ask these questions, they don't want the teachers to even make them aware that there's anything other than affirmative response.
	You can only ever affirm them.
	They classify in all of the literature, in all of these PSAs that they put out, that non-affirmative responses will kill the children.
	That's what they say.
	They will just say, if you do not affirm, the kid will kill themselves.
	So they are not listening to what many the transitioners say about their predicament, and many of them are saying that one of the major problems that got them confused in the first place was gender affirmation from their social circle.
	Yeah, in fact, when I was reading, when we did the book club on irreversible damage, one of the things that was pointed out was even outside of the schools, a lot of these confused kids on Tumblr and such, they'll go to TikTok and find videos of trans influencers who will tell them the exact, basically just give them a script to read out.
	If you're speaking to an adult and you say you're trans and they're not affirming, just say you'll kill yourself if you don't.
	Literally, it's not an honest threat, it is just a threat to make you feel bad and make you just go along with whatever they want.
	And it is very annoying because, not only annoying, but I think it's unethical because as an ex-educator, we were constantly told that we have a duty to care about our students.
	So how do you care about your students if you don't show them the bigger picture?
	Well, yeah, that's the thing.
	The way they do it is they classify care.
	They basically play on people's base emotions of feeling bad.
	And they have some weird recommendations about how to make classes more inclusive.
	Now, let's go to the next link.
	One brick at a time.
	Building inclusive classrooms.
	Is that a reference to the whole, oh, Stonewall was started by a trans black woman throwing bricks or something?
	No, this is...
	Up so far, what we have said was typical.
	What comes afterwards is not typical.
	Now, Lego is involved in this, unfortunately.
	Okay.
	Let's move further.
	If we go on page four, we see that this is a suggestion for elementary school activities.
	Okay.
	They have some games that they propose children to play with Lego bricks.
	Now let's go to page six, which is identity tower LGBTQ plus game.
	Now this again is for elementary school.
	Now let us Let us read and I want to hear your response after this.
	All right.
	Okay, so activity type, pairs or small group, three to four students.
	Activity length, 20 to 40 minutes.
	Materials, one set of Lego, six bricks for each student, a large sheet of paper, chalkboard or whiteboard.
	Purpose: This activity will encourage students to reflect on their own identity in a supportive and affirming environment.
	Learning outcomes: Practice choosing words, adjectives and identity terms that describe them.
	Learn the importance of respecting people's identity terms and descriptive words.
	Contribute to a classroom culture that celebrates diversity.
	This activity can be done in pairs or in small groups of three to four students.
	Allow groups to find a space in the classroom to work together.
	Instructions.
	Here is where the weird part begins.
	Give a Lego 6 or the Uber weird.
	Give a Lego six bricks set to each student.
	Explain that we all have an identity.
	Our identities are what make us who we are, are special and should be celebrated.
	Write out the parts of identity that will be included in this activity on the large sheet of paper, whiteboard or chalkboard.
	And they have.
	There's so much new speak in all of this already.
	Name or nickname, gender, race or culture, hobbies, values, family.
	And they say now, instruct students to use six Lego six bricks as a tool to build a tower that represents themselves.
	Ask students to assign parts of their identity to the Lego bricks they feel each color represents.
	Inform students that they can build their tower any way they want to.
	They will use the tower to represent parts of their identity.
	Students will assign the colors to what they associate the above aspects of identities to and explain why.
	Be sure to explain that there are many more identities than our list of six.
	Encourage students to build their towers and then to share what their tower means to their partner or small group.
	Finish the activity by having a large group discussion using the guiding questions.
	Now, one thing to note before I ask you what you think about this and before we go to the guiding questions...
	I feel like people can guess what I think of this.
	Yes, but these people are confused about how they write.
	They're talking about parts of identity and then they say...
	Be sure to explain that there are many more identities than our list of six.
	So they completely confuse kids about the distinction between identity and parts of identity or aspects of identity.
	And let's go down to the guiding questions in page seven.
	So what do you like most about getting to see other people's towers?
	How would you feel if someone tried to change your tower?
	Did you learn anything new about anyone?
	If you could add anything else to your tower, what would it be?
	Okay.
	Oh, is it?
	Okay, alright.
	Well, for one, I hope to see...
	I'm going to word this correctly.
	I hope to see this completely backfire, and I hope to see children unintentionally make based towers about their gender and race and such, but barring that, this is obvious nonsense, and it's built on a number of presuppositions in the first place that we really, really need to dismiss.
	Just scroll back up for me, John, so we can go back to...
	Wait, no, actually, I've got it written down here in your notes.
	The talk about...
	Where is it?
	Yes.
	The explain that we all have an identity.
	Our identities are what make us who we are.
	Okay, that's fine.
	I can accept that.
	Are special?
	No.
	And should be celebrated?
	No.
	These are actually...
	They sound nice.
	They sound really caring.
	Oh, we want to make sure the kid feels good all time, all day, every day.
	We don't want to make them feel negative emotions ever at any point, despite the fact that they can actually be beneficial to give kids thicker skin so they understand how the world actually works.
	But no, you're not special.
	The vast majority of people are very far from special.
	The vast majority of people will conform to whatever the prevailing attitudes of their day are, as we can see through all of this, because this is actually what this is designed to do.
	It's not designed to make you an individual.
	It's not designed to make you special.
	It's designed to make you just another soldier in the army of the woke.
	Most people are mundane.
	And that should be celebrated?
	No.
	No.
	You are who you are is a statement of fact.
	It's not a statement of value judgment.
	It's a statement of just, well, you are who you are.
	You can decide what to do with that.
	I shouldn't have to celebrate it.
	Nobody else should be forced to celebrate anything that they don't want to in that way, especially when it's going around just trying to brainwash kids.
	It is really insidious because they are very slick...
	And very evil in the way that they find appealing kids' toys and kids' games to try and slide all of this in.
	But, once again, my only hope from all of this is if they do actually do these kinds of stupid games, is either the kids get confused and don't understand what's going on, especially if they're trying to get, like, five-year-olds to do this sort of thing.
	Kids won't understand it at that point.
	Or they end up being very based by accident.
	That's my main hope.
	But this is obvious nonsense.
	I want to add some questions.
	So first, why should ever identity be a debate, especially when it comes to elementary school children?
	Yeah, these concepts are far above their heads.
	I mean, most university students that are doing sociology degrees and such are still too stupid to actually understand most of it, and they end up just parroting lines that they've heard from their teachers.
	And also, why should they explain why they associate a particular colour with...
	A part of their personality or identity.
	That seems arbitrary, almost just to make sure that, oh, it's bright and colourful so the kids will enjoy it.
	Yeah.
	And just some further points that they say encourage students to build their towers and then to share what they, any way they want it.
	Okay?
	Yeah, it's the one bullet point.
	Inform students that they can build their towers any way they want to.
	They will use the tower to represent parts of their identity.
	Now, this is, it seems to me like a messed symbolic metaphor because identity is not something that you fix like you fix a Lego tower.
	They could, for instance, choose to put four bricks instead of six.
	What does that mean?
	Does that mean that they can opt out of two parts of, they can opt out of their hobbies or values or out of their gender or race?
	You've got a good point there, because identity as it exists is not something, like you say, that we opt into.
	It's not something that you construct yourself, and most people's attempts to try and construct their own unique identity are pretty narrowly exclusive to teenage years to about 30, as far as I can tell.
	And then they realise all of those attempts to be a unique, special snowflake individual were horribly embarrassing.
	And then they just go about being a normal person for the rest of their lives.
	But because you're programming this into these kids from such a young age, we are getting now the results of this kind of training that people have had where now we're getting more and more people into their 30s and 40s who are becoming the ideal consumer, who are becoming...
	Just arrested development.
	They're just stuck in a particular phase of their development that they never want to go out of because it's easy, allows them to indulge in hedonistic pleasures, take no responsibility for their lives, and ultimately waste what little time we're granted on Earth.
	And there's a very pernicious theme here.
	There's a pattern in what kids are being taught by people of this sort, of this persuasion, that identity is a matter of what you want it to be.
	So you are who you want to be.
	Now, I can definitely understand an old way of, an old interpretation of the statement that says that basically you can choose your values.
	It's a bit farfetched.
	It's a bit Gen X. It's a bit farfetched, but it makes sense.
	That it's logically coherent.
	We say that yes, we can engage in reflection and subject our values to critical...
	That's true.
	The research of people like Jonathan Haidt in The Righteous Mind has shown that that's not really true.
	Most of us were just going by gut instincts and then using our higher mind to rationalize what we were already going to do anyway.
	Let us say that this is an open debate.
	But the point is that...
	It's one thing to say that there are some parts of your identity that are not essential, like, for instance, some of your current beliefs.
	And quite another thing to say that, you know, gender is non-essential.
	And it can be whatever you want it to be.
	And kids, for instance, can like some colors, then stop liking them.
	They're very prone to suggestion.
	What if the cool kids have a tower that is considered to be a better tower?
	Yes.
	Well, that's a good point.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Then maybe they will all start saying, well, the cool kids have another tower.
	I want to change mine.
	And meanwhile, they have already associated parts of their personality with colors.
	And then they want to switch color.
	And then they...
	You've brought up a good point, because it's very likely as well, because most people don't make their own opinions for themselves, especially when you're a kid, is that the teacher will come up to the most inclusive tower and go, oh, this is really good.
	Everybody gather around and look at this tower.
	This is what we should be aiming for.
	And all the kids will just conform to that because they think that's what will get them praise.
	So if you look at the whole PDF file, you'll see that from the beginning it seems like some games.
	Then the more you read into it, it seems like Alice in Borderland games.
	So it seemed to me to be very...
	To be fair, The Misses have been watching that on Netflix recently.
	It's pretty entertaining, to be fair, if you've watched it.
	Yes, I have.
	These are not games that I would like children to compare.
	Those are pretty brutal games.
	Tag where the man who's it has a machine gun is not the game that I want my kids to be playing.
	Yeah, the King of Spades.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, that's it.
	Oh, there we go.
	Alright, nice one.
	And let's move on to the last segment of the day, which should be a bit entertaining.
	It will be the Waffle House Wars.
	Now, this is something that went viral a few weeks ago.
	I've only just got around to talking about it, but it is somewhat entertaining and shows the cultural divide between America and England and Europe as well, because I don't expect in Greece you have Waffle Houses.
	We have.
	Do you?
	Of course we do.
	Is it like the actual American brand Waffle House?
	It's very similar.
	Now you've got me questioning.
	Do we have Waffle Houses in England?
	Waffle House, England.
	Have I just been telling myself a lie?
	I love waffles.
	If I indulge in my love of waffles, I'll double myself in a year.
	We have THE Waffle House, and I imagine that's going to be a different brand to Waffle.
	Yes, it's a different brand.
	We don't have Waffle House as you Americans have it, but we do have places like THE Waffle House, and you can tell it's more important because we've put THE in front of it.
	It's a lot classier when you do such a thing.
	Like, I'm not Harry, I'm THE Harry.
	Thank you.
	I mean, all the other Harrys that I can compare myself to from the rest of the podcast.
	Not stacking up, really.
	But yeah, we don't have Waffle House in the UK, as it exists in America, at least.
	And I can only really say that I'm very glad, because it seems that it's a 24-hour waffle restaurant brand...
	That seem to, every single day, every single night, seems like, you know, Manchester, Oxford Road on a Saturday night, as far as I can tell.
	It's just brawls, battles, conflict, violence.
	Actually, I'm making it sound cool now.
	I'm making it sound fun.
	Unfortunately, we don't have the brawls.
	At least to that extent.
	Yeah, we just go there and eat waffles.
	We must be missing out.
	But appropriately, I thought I would draw your attention to the most recent epochs talking about the Battle of Kursk, where it's Beau and Carl talking about one of the big climactic battles, or at least one of the big turning point battles of World War II on the Eastern Front.
	Perhaps, who knows, 20 years from now, we might be talking about the Battle of Waffle House on epochs, but we'll see how that goes.
	And also I just want to say credit to NeoUnrealist on Twitter for sending me some of this info.
	We've been DMing about it because it's been such a meme and there were some interesting developments that went down.
	So many of you might have seen this video going around on Twitter and I'm just going to talk over it because we don't need to hear what's going on and plus the people holding the camera are both very sweary and very annoying.
	He's one of those black guys who He's doing this kind of voice.
	I just want my...
	That kind of voice I find insufferable, you know, when they go really high-pitched and squeaky.
	So what's going on here is just a Waffle House in the middle of the night, I assume, or very late at night, where all of a sudden these black women and all of her compatriots begin a brawl.
	Just begin a brawl.
	They start climbing around.
	They're very belligerent.
	At the beginning of this video, they're shouting at the staff members.
	This is like Helm's Deep.
	It is actually.
	You've got the barrier.
	They've broke through the barrier.
	Oh no!
	There's the one guy running up and blows himself up so they can break through the gates.
	And as you can see, there's one particular woman, this Waffle House woman, with the kind of blondy ginger hair, who is fighting back Who's fighting back like her life depends on it.
	Not only is she fighting back like her life depends on it, she does quite a good job.
	Here you can see somebody's got a hold of her hair, but to be fair, there are like three or four different women that she's going up against at once.
	And the situation just continues to escalate.
	That woman going in there for a pot shot, don't particularly blame her.
	Not advocating violence or anything, but once again, if you're in a self-defence situation, as this is, you absolutely have the right to defend yourself.
	I'd also say you have the right to defend yourself to a point where these people know not to mess with you again.
	And here's where some of the big developments from this came from.
	Some of the iconic moments where all of a sudden, some of these charming customers start throwing chairs.
	Boom!
	One-handed, just bam, done out, done.
	Just straight away.
	And then she's got the other chair.
	She's going in for the chair shot.
	The chair catapult.
	She's going to break this woman in half!
	Except the woman was just inviting it, and then that was a rubbish throw anyway that she didn't even need to worry about.
	So this has become somewhat legendary.
	It has.
	I think I want to make a policy recommendation to begin my career as a politician.
	I think we should have mandatory Waffle House training and train people to keep their cool in situations like that.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	The first thing they should think is turn on their cameras, record it, and not shout as the camera person here was shouting.
	I like it.
	It's kind of Spartan.
	They would leave the weak babies in the desert.
	We leave the babies in the Waffle House to learn to fend for themselves in the night time as these degenerates pile in.
	Now, there are many, many comments in...
	On the threads and all of the people talking about her simping for this particular woman.
	Even Carl got in on it.
	And to be fair, because she put up such a good fight against seemingly unwinnable odds because she had a massive gang of violent thugs attacking her for no good reason and still managed to do this, you know, where she's just inviting it, like, bring it on, see what I've got...
	I will make an exception this one time.
	This one time, I will say, fine.
	Simple you want.
	Like I say, even Carl did it.
	And we've even got drawings of her because people are realising that she's a warrior woman.
	If we go to this next one...
	John, this has become somewhat of a famous image on Twitter now, which I find very entertaining, because people have taken it as a bit of a symbol.
	It's become symbolic, because there was a defining and somewhat uniform characteristic of Of the people that were being violent thugs.
	Obviously she had some people that she was working with that shared those characteristics, but there was one unifying characteristic of all the people that she was fighting back against.
	And some people have taken this...
	Once again, I don't know if I can say it out loud or say it strictly on YouTube for particular reasons, but some people have taken this as a symbol...
	Of the West, what the West used to be.
	We used to be outnumbered, you know, the West, we are the global minorities.
	We used to be outnumbered by the savages, so to speak, and we went out with a particular attitude and made it known that we are not to be messed with.
	I like how we have events like these and, you know, suddenly, out of a really small event, everyone gets a really major interpretation and gives a very global dimension.
	That's the funny thing.
	Well, that's the thing.
	We are in a situation where we're living in a total state.
	And the total state is where every aspect of life is completely politicized.
	And that's not something that people on the right have done.
	That's not what, say, the indigenous populations of the West have done.
	This is what has been foist upon us.
	So do not be surprised when something small like this happens, and we politicize it ourselves in our own direction.
	We should also give a theological dimension and say that the last battle is going to happen in a Waffle House.
	Oh yeah, that's where the second coming will be.
	This is where it all begins.
	It begins with Waffle Houses.
	I believe it, but this is really, this is symbolic of the forces of the West standing up against the globalization and diversity.
	Obviously, it's not quite that big a deal, but I like that people have taken it as being quite symbolic.
	The forces of light versus the forces of darkness.
	Yes, yes it is.
	No pun intended.
	But the girl that was involved in this, she came out and made a statement she posted on YouTube.
	We're not going to play it, but basically, Luke Radowski and other people were tweeting about it, basically saying, oh, she's a complete G, because it turns out in the middle of that whole brawl, she noticed that somebody's wallet had been dropped, and she picked it up, and to all of these people who hated her, screaming at her, being belligerent, just like, is this anybody's wallet?
	And they responded by throwing another plate at her.
	So, you know, it's quite a nice thing to do.
	She wouldn't let a wallet steal her glory.
	She didn't do it for the money.
	She had a higher cause that she was defending.
	There you go.
	She was even trying to be fair to her.
	I like that she's snoring here.
	And if we go to the next one, New York Post wrote an article about it, because when she released this video on YouTube, she's been identified as being Hayley B. So she posted a lengthy YouTube video called WHW Storytime, and what this is is the nickname that social media has given her, which is Waffle House Wendy.
	Where she, it says, That she got blacklisted from working at Waffle Houses.
	She can't ever work from one again.
	She tried working for another sometime earlier this year, and then they found out she was blacklisted.
	It's absolutely ridiculous.
	So it goes on to explain a bit of the context.
	In the crazy clip, which was posted December 22, she was seen facing off against a group of rowdy customers at the Waffle House joint in Austin, Texas.
	In her video, she says that the six people sat in a section that was closed off to reduce the influx of customers during a busy night, but ignored her requests to move and demanded immediate service.
	I worked at a Waffle House on and off for four years.
	I worked my way from being a waitress to being a rock star, she says.
	Adding that the chain just didn't give that honour to just anybody.
	The six came in, they're loud, they're making noise, cool, everybody's loud, everybody's drunk, it's after the last call, bars are closed so you can go home or you don't have to go home but you can't stay here type thing.
	So just a bunch of drunk people, drunk morons, come in, start being rowdy, start making a mess, start acting like dickheads, and then this happens, basically.
	I think it's economically unwise, apart from many other things, because if I had a Waffle House, I would want her.
	Because I would have to pay less for security stuff.
	This is true, and also, you do want these sorts of people working at Waffle Houses, because it turns out that this kind of thing is something that happens quite frequently at Waffle Houses, to the point where it's notorious for it.
	And she even mentions it further on, but I'll talk about this.
	Let me just get to...
	Here we go.
	She said she was going to kick them out because they were being rude, but then they all got into the fight, and the article carries on saying, the feisty former flapjack flipper, nice little alliteration you've got going there, New York Post, I hope you've got a little bonus for that one, said waffle houses can be deadly.
	There are guns.
	There's bullet holes in some waffle houses that I've worked at.
	That's how the night shift works, and it's sad.
	It's not safe at night, so we have to do what we can.
	However, the next day, Hayley said that her boss watched the security video and wrote her up for throwing a sugar shaker.
	What should she have done according to them?
	You're just supposed to take it.
	Sadly, I've been not in a situation exactly like this, but in a similar situation, which I'll get into in a moment.
	So then, two months later, when she decided to leave the Waffle House and tried to get a job at another location, she was told she had been blacklisted.
	After the fracas made waves online, Hayley launched a new Twitter account called TheRealWWendy or Waffle House Wendy under the user at WitchDragon5.
	So, I don't know what she's posting on there, but if it's entertaining, then, you know, like, maybe give her a follow.
	Her last word on the subject were, they were being rude, belligerent, I finished what I started.
	That's really it.
	They started it.
	She finished it.
	Yeah, yeah, she finished it.
	There you go.
	And this is sadly not the first time I've heard about anything like this happening, because this sort of thing has sadly happened to me as well.
	When I was working a previous job, in the UK we have a chain of stores called, of shops...
	...called Bargain Booze.
	And back in Crewe, where I'm from, I was working one.
	They tend to be set up in rough areas.
	They're the sorts of places you tend to go and the staff have to stand behind corrugated bars and stuff so that they're safe.
	Because they're set up in rough areas.
	They sell cheap booze.
	You're gonna get miscreants in, shall we say.
	The sort of people that are gonna try and rob you.
	I was in one that was in a relatively nice area, like, across the road from my primary school, where I always thought it was very safe, and all of a sudden, it's like five minutes before it closes, two guys come in with weapons, and they're just like, we're gonna rob you.
	They were wearing balaclavas, and I was just like...
	I'm not gonna die for bargain bloody booze.
	Fine, put my hands up.
	Fine, I can give you whatever you want.
	They almost caved my head in when I told them I didn't have the code for a safe around the back, which was empty anyway, but I gave them a key for the actual safe where we kept all the money.
	They took all the money, and I called the police, and then I ring the bosses, and they're like, okay, have you called the police?
	Yeah, I've called the police.
	And instead of even asking, are you alright?
	They're just like...
	How much money did they take?
	Did you give them the money?
	Did they do that?
	And I was like, yeah.
	And he was just like, the guy on the other side, the owner of the shop, was obviously really annoyed at me for it.
	The sort of attitude that a lot of these smaller places have is just, why didn't you die for my two grand that I had in the safe there?
	It's very disgusting.
	And then later on the next week, I did get fired from that job, which was an absolute piss take.
	So this is sadly a situation that I am familiar with from personal experience.
	So I can empathize and sympathize really badly because you do just do what you've got to do.
	You do what you've got to do to survive.
	I've not worked in a Waffle House, where apparently you do have to have some kind of Bruce Lee martial arts training to be able to work behind there competently, but I have been robbed working a job before, and know the kind of callous attitude that some bosses will have towards you for just doing what's in your own interest, that being defending yourself however you can.
	A suggestion.
	If she's blacklisted from Waffle Houses and cannot find a job there, she could open a dojo, a martial arts centre.
	Maybe she should get in touch with Kyle Rittenhouse and they can sort some business idea out together.
	That would be interesting.
	That would be some justice right there.
	And like I said...
	From talking to Neo-Unrealists about this whole thing, it turns out that Waffle House is just like a place of violence and it's a den of scum and villainy.
	It's a place where violence festers and brawls just constantly break out.
	I even found this random compilation.
	There are some clips from that one that I just played, but just...
	People just, you know, go for waffles and it's just a regular occurrence.
	It's just...
	Start beating the S out of each other for no particular reason.
	Throw things in staff's face.
	It's just something you've got to get used to as a staff member there, apparently.
	It's awful.
	I'm sure Americans in the comments below can elaborate on this.
	If you've got any experiences in Waffle House yourself, please let us know.
	Because, from what I have been told, the chain is mostly operating in the southern states of America, around the Bible Belt, where there is a particular...
	A concentration of rowdy people who have disparate results in crime statistics, shall we say.
	It's very, very unusual.
	Just as an Englishman, it's very strange to see this as just a common thing.
	Is that a compilation?
	Yeah, this is just a compilation of people beating the ever-loving crap out of each other and the staff members at Waffle Houses.
	It can't be the waffle, because in the video you showed in the beginning...
	Maybe the waffles are just really bad?
	They weren't served yet.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It can't just be that they serve terrible waffles at every single one.
	Maybe it functions analogously to dates.
	Many people go out in, let's say, in pubs or bars for a date, and they have food or drinks, but they don't go there for food and drink.
	So maybe people who are looking for trouble say, okay, let's go for waffles.
	Yeah, maybe that's the euphemism down there.
	You want to go for waffles, bro?
	It's not really the waffle.
	Yeah, yeah, they're not really there for the waffles.
	They're just there because they know the staff will get it.
	They understand.
	It'll probably be the third one that night.
	But interestingly, as me and NeoUnrealist on Twitter were DMing about this, he just comes at me with, mate, you've no idea what just happened.
	And I was like, what?
	And he was like, two more reports of fights in Waffle House just broke out while we were talking about it.
	And he sent me these two links.
	So the first one is from Fox News, talking about this South Carolina, because he sent me two different reports and I thought, oh, so two different places, Fox News and then Yahoo or Insider or whoever it was, have just posted about the same report.
	No, two completely separate reports, one in South Carolina, one in Georgia.
	Just absolutely where people have just gone mental.
	So this one, Waffle House employee in South Carolina defended himself against armed suspects attacking him with a gun before exchanging gunfire.
	So he just got into a gunfight in the middle of a Waffle House.
	You know there's that joke that leftists do, which is really annoying sometimes, the Sir, this is a Wendy's?
	I think sir, this is a waffle house has a very different connotation.
	You know, sir, this is a waffle house means you want to throw down, bro.
	I think you're going to kickstart a lot of waffle conspiracy theories.
	What are they putting in the waffles?
	That's what I want to know.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, what are they doing over there?
	So, the Horry County Police Department was called to the restaurant on December 22nd over reports of shots fired.
	An employee and several witnesses told responding officers, "Two men ran into the restaurant, jumped over the counter.
	One of the men began punching the worker in the head, pushed him into objects.
	The other suspects stood by, wielding a firearm." So this sounds like a pretty typical just robbery.
	The two suspects left, and then the victim grabbed a pistol and ran after them.
	I love America.
	I love how that happens in America.
	You get robbed by armed people and your first response the second they're out the door is, I'm gonna get my gun!
	Just go straight after them.
	When he got to the doorway, the two males opened fire and the victim shot back and returned to the restaurant.
	Bloody hell.
	The restaurant sustained heavy damage to the front.
	Multiple casings and projectiles were collected, according to the police.
	Victim told officers that even if he could identify the assailants, he would not pursue assages for the alleged assault, and they're not actually seeking out anybody.
	So these guys just got away with it.
	Because the Waffle House guy was presumably like, ah, they're regulars, don't worry about them.
	I bet that's what it was.
	This is just like how they get...
	This is what they do on a Tuesday night.
	This is the Waffle Impunity Movement.
	Yeah, this is just typical Tuesday.
	What is going on here?
	You're just like, eh, you know, I work for a Waffle House, I know what I signed up for.
	And then the next one, the one from Georgia, two arrests made.
	Do they sign their will?
	Maybe.
	Maybe you sign your soul over when you walk in.
	Whatever happens, happens, bro.
	That's on the contract when you walk in there.
	So this one, two arrests made.
	So at least in this case, people actually got arrested.
	So this was on Christmas Day.
	The Christmas Day fight at Waffle House in Georgia.
	Waffle House staff have a reputation...
	It says, Because I know that's what I do.
	I don't just say, excuse me, this is the wrong order.
	Can I have my right order?
	And you maybe cheekily see if you can get a bit of money off the bill at the end of the day.
	No!
	No, what you do, you throw the plate in their face and you go, come on, bring them up, put them up, son!
	That's what you do.
	Maybe we do need to go back.
	We need to go back to old-fashioned gentlemanly brawling.
	It reminds me of, have you watched Anger Management with Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler?
	No, I haven't.
	In the beginning where Adam Sandler cooks him breakfast, eggs, and he throws them to the wall and says, I said over easy.
	He screams.
	Okay.
	Well, apparently in Waffle House, that's just typical expected behaviour from the patrons.
	So, when the police arrived, one of the guys was reportedly acting belligerent and got put in the back of a cop car.
	And apparently the restaurant chain's feisty reputation is so notorious that even inspired a Daily Show skit earlier this year, which was captioned, The best part of Waffle House isn't the food, it's the fights.
	And as simple and easy as that is, for once, I might actually agree with Daily Show here, because I... When we inevitably go over to America, I know Waffle House is the first place I'm going to.
	The second we get to a southern state like Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, wherever these places are, I just want to go.
	It's going to be like going to the zoo or something.
	I'm just going to see the local...
	This is what local life is like in these states.
	And you know, fair play to you.
	Fair play.
	So Waffle House never changed.
	And with that, let's get on to the video comments.
	In Riverside County, California, over a thousand court cases and counting are being dismissed by judges.
	Among those are things as bad as blatant murder.
	This means that crimes aren't even being recorded.
	They're encouraging more crime and it's getting bad.
	The courts are corrupt and in Riverside it's literally lawless.
	Judges are making excuses that they don't have enough judges.
	But that's been the case for at least three decades.
	They just don't want to work overtime.
	Imagine letting murderers continue to kill just to have some more recreational time.
	Oh, that's the point, sadly.
	The point is anarcho-tyranny, which is basically we're just going to...
	The courts, the governments, everybody in the place where you would expect authority to originate from are just going to let the bad stuff happen because it means that it makes it...
	If you're constantly worried about being shot in the back...
	And you know the courts won't do anything about it, and if they even do anything about it, it will probably punish you for getting shot in the back in the first place.
	It makes it really difficult to organise any form of political resistance to the current regime, as far as I can tell.
	That's where it goes.
	And this contributes to people losing faith in the legitimacy of the judiciary power.
	Yeah, and I think they should.
	I've completely lost faith in it.
	Ever since Count Dankula...
	The situation with him, where he just made a joke meme video, and Scotland was like, well, we're not having any of that, son.
	Scotland, known for offensive jokes, not on our watch.
	It's absolutely ridiculous.
	And it does lead to a sense of demoralisation, which just means that most people, at the end of the day, they end up shrugging their shoulders and going, what are you going to do about it?
	How about hiring less people in woke positions, in silly positions that do nothing, and have more judges?
	Can't have that.
	And I also am sceptical of the idea of more judges, just because that might just mean more woke activist judges.
	Because you've got to remember, there's going to be somebody in charge of getting these people in the positions that they are.
	Like, if you're I don't know exactly how it works in America, but if you're hiring clerks or whatever, who are going to be interns or whatever, trying to work their way up to those positions, those people hiring are going to have their own predispositions and their own political opinions that they're going to bias and gatekeep based people out of.
	I mean, it could be, but what's the alternative?
	Anarchy, as you said.
	Yeah, it's difficult.
	It's really difficult in the situation that we are in right now.
	Like I say, my suggestion would be that people who have the opportunity, if you're a young person watching this and you're based, train up in law and mount massive legal opposition to terrible laws out there.
	Become a lawyer.
	If I had the money to, I'd retrain as a lawyer and just immediately start attacking all of Blair's laws and then go for everything that the Tories have done in the past 12 years as well.
	That's the only real thing that you can do, as well as building up a political opposition of your own.
	But let's go to the comments, the written comments on the website.
	So HR Slave says...
	Excuse me.
	The Rainbow Games segment reminds me of a Fight Club quote that in hindsight was incredibly based.
	Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.
	That is a good one.
	There's a lot of good lines in Fight Club.
	William the Conqueror on that segment.
	Colin P says, William reached over and grabbed Harry by the collar, shook him, then reached through the glass partition and grabbed the steering wheel while trying to direct the cars of the capital.
	Oh my goodness, the plot thickens.
	What a twist.
	William was right there with...
	Next to Alex Jones in the crowd at Jan 6th on the megaphone saying, let's get them boys!
	After they dined at a Waffle House.
	Yeah, they just finished abusing minorities at a Waffle House.
	That's the only reason that those things happen.
	Omar Awad says, Harry's father must be very disappointed in his son King Charles.
	However, must be feeling relieved to be rid of the little S. Once again, he didn't have to be a little less.
	It didn't have to be this way.
	Harry has been malformed and manipulated into this.
	I'm sure Harry has his own resentments and has his own...
	You know, he's lived his own life.
	He's got his own story.
	He's obviously, all his life since it happened, been very upset by what happened to his mother, Diana.
	And that has made him incredibly vulnerable and incredibly easy for someone like Meghan to wrap him around her little finger.
	And that's disgusting, because in a certain sense, We joke about him being a simp.
	We joke about him being cooked.
	He's been manipulated.
	This is a form of psychological abuse as far as I'm concerned.
	You went total Freudian there.
	Yeah, I did.
	Yeah.
	Prove me wrong.
	No, I agree with you.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Well, that's why they got the ghostwriter, and I'm sure Megan approved the ghostwriter.
	I can just imagine her feverishly typing away about fantasies of the royal family fighting each other while he's bound and gagged on the living room floor.
	Hey, what they get up to in the privacy of their bedroom is their own business.
	Kevin Fox.
	To be fair, we were 18 and 8 at the time.
	Should I tell Oprah and CNN? Maybe.
	You could get some good money out of that.
	If you've got any monetizable stories about fights with your brothers, you should go for it as well.
	If I don't have, I could make some up.
	Yeah, I mean, that's easy enough, isn't it?
	I mean, that's a good point to make as well.
	Let's say this is my story.
	I am going to, if we do get a hold of spare Prince Harry's memoirs, I'm going to be very dubious about any of the information that is contained therein.
	I don't think he's going to be entirely honest about it if I'm...
	Just saying my opinion, you know.
	Callum Dayton.
	My first knowledge of Prince Harry was the BBC documentary of him being a helicopter pilot and spending several years trying to slip back into the army to do his bit in Afghanistan with the lads.
	That Prince Harry, I'm not sure if he was even real now.
	Well, that was the thing.
	Interestingly enough, when we were watching the documentary, Dan and I watched it separately, but we both agreed on one thing, which was that there is a moment in the first part of it Where Harry and Meghan go to visit a military camp in America so they can give morale to the troops and such.
	And the second he gets through the door, the second he's in a military situation, you can tell just how much more relaxed, how much more comfortable Harry is.
	Meghan goes and sits on one table.
	Harry gets away from her and sits on another table with the lads, with the boys, the boys in the army.
	Good influences.
	Yeah, he seems so much more casual, so much more himself, he's having a lot more fun, his smile seems more natural.
	I'm not saying that he doesn't love Meghan.
	I'm sure he does actually love Meghan.
	What I'm saying is, despite that, she is very bad for him.
	So, it's interesting and it is a shame that that part of Harry only comes out in drips and drabs in the right situations.
	John Campbell says the correct term to describe Harry is a bitch maid.
	That sounds American, but it is true.
	Severian Knox says Meghan's questionable morals give considerable chances that the kid will be of any colour as Harry doesn't have a biological father.
	Oh, that's a shame.
	Well, he's ginger.
	Robert, I don't know why it has to do anything, but it's always worth pointing out that he is ginger.
	Robert Longshore says: "One of the first things my now-dead Filipino mother-in-law, rest in peace, wondered out loud to us after receiving the news that me and my wife were pregnant with our first child was, 'I wonder how her skin colour will turn out?' With reference to my sister-in-law's kids, who are also half English.
	Upon finding out that we were pregnant for a second time, the very first thing she asked before asking even if we were having a boy or a girl, was 'Will it be lighter or darker than the first?' 'People live in the real world.' It simply makes sense to ask and speculate on these simple and rather irrelevant topics.
	If anything, it's just an interesting chat to have, isn't it?
	It's just one of those things.
	It's like, they're family.
	They're going to be family.
	Who cares what colour they end up being if they're family?
	That's all it was.
	It was just like, oh, I wonder.
	It's what we said before about things getting ridiculously blown up proportions.
	Oh, yeah.
	Suddenly the kid has to become a statement for a progressive cause or not.
	Yeah, you're right, actually.
	The kid themselves, I mean, and this is one of the things that Harry always complains about being his childhood, was that he was turned into a media freak show for everybody to speculate on.
	And...
	In putting his own kid in the spotlight like that by being the centre of that question, and also featuring them in the documentary, is Harry, on a smaller scale perhaps, but is he not still doing that same thing, thrusting his own kids into the spotlight when they would probably just rather grow up and be kids?
	Yeah.
	You would think he would have learnt from his own experiences there.
	Jonathan Crowe says, Yes!
	By telling him he had a God complex.
	That's the ultimate feud killer, you know?
	Just chokeslam.
	That's how Kane and Undertaker did it.
	Brothers of Destruction chokeslam each other until one gives up.
	That's how it works.
	It was pretty funny because his only recourse to shut me up was to prove me right.
	Another time my brother woke me up with nunchucks.
	Oh, nice.
	This is why I wish I'd grown up with a brother, because that just sounds fun.
	That sounds like the sort of thing you look back on and you chuckle.
	The thing is, my brother and I really enjoyed playfighting with each other because we could actually go all out without worrying about one of us wimping out.
	I think it's really important masculine behaviour to playfight because it builds strength and character.
	I've met so many weak men that can't even take a jab to the nose without whimpering.
	It's sad.
	That's all a very good point.
	That's one of the things that I've missed out on, not having a brother growing up, was not getting a good clock in the face to teach me how it feels.
	And finally, Bass Tape says, I like Prince William, but seriously, dude, you're going to be king.
	Don't humiliate the country by forcing us to have a bald king.
	If Elon can do it, you can certainly do it.
	Sort yourself out, mate.
	No, I think he should go the opposite way around.
	He should just go...
	Listen, if my hair was thinning to that extent, just take it all off.
	I don't want to live with the indignity of a hairline like that.
	I'm just like, there we go.
	But thankfully, my hairline's looking pretty good.
	So let's move on to your comments.
	Okay.
	So, Free Will 2112.
	The lie is that people are being told they can choose their values, except they're not.
	They're having their values chosen for them by the leftists and inculcated through these brainwashing techniques.
	Yes, I think that's a very accurate statement.
	And especially when it comes to children who are in a very impressionable age.
	Like they say, brains are like sponges at that age.
	Yeah, and they're very open to suggestibility.
	Yes, they're constantly being force-fed this idea that you have to be inclusive and you have to be progressive.
	Because they're approached with the assumption that they're going to become racists.
	Yeah, or sexists or bigots of any form.
	That's why the groomer term is so accurate, because they do the groomer tactics of vulnerable kid, isolate from family and support system, and then wrap them around your finger.
	Robert Longshaw.
	Go to live some life first before you can figure out your identity.
	This is the prescriptive over descriptive shit all over again.
	They're trying to make children choose from a set of degenerate and or irrelevant identities in order to prescribe the rest of that child's life.
	If a child doesn't know what a fireman is, they will pretend to be one during play.
	Yes, correct.
	And this is also very insightful because I think that for most of us, parts of our identity are things that are negotiated as we grow up.
	We try to find out who we are, but usually this doesn't mean what gender we are.
	Yeah, you need life experience to truly understand.
	You need to be put into situations where you're uncomfortable to find out who you really are and what your values really are.
	For instance, just as an offhand example, you're the sort of person that stands by and lets bad things happen, or you're the sort of person that jumps in to try and defend the innocent in a righteous way.
	That's just one example.
	But these kids have no life experience, so how on earth can they know who they are?
	Small l libertarian.
	I just quickly checked because I was curious.
	Educating Educators is a 100-page document.
	Control F tells me that LGBT appears in the document 1086 times.
	10.86 times per page.
	Exactly.
	I would suggest you try to search for the word detransitioners.
	I couldn't find it.
	Yeah, it's not in there.
	It's not in there.
	Okay.
	Sophie Liv Pedersen.
	What I honestly really hate about this is that they are teaching children to focus on extremely superficial traits.
	There's no spirituality or looking within or looking at how you have the power to decide what sort of person you are.
	They don't make it about value.
	Well, they do, but they try and sneak it in by pretending it's all objective reality.
	This is just facts.
	This is just how the world works when it's not.
	Yeah.
	Anon Aini.
	There's a somewhat recent Twitter post out there with a teacher complaining that her students are no longer queer or LGBT after coming back to school from the holidays.
	Oh no, they lived in the real world for too long.
	Quick, get back!
	Get back!
	This is where some people, unfortunately, have the mentality that if theory doesn't conflict with facts, so worse for the facts.
	This teacher must think that, oh no, they have non-affirming homes.
	I must do something about them.
	I must bring them under my influence again.
	Communism doesn't work in real life, or we'll have to change real life then.
	That kind of attitude.
	Free Will 2112.
	Don't forget the radical trans lobby is part of the overall hard left ideology.
	So rejecting trans is a form of ideological betrayal as far as these ideologues are concerned.
	Ideology is more important than well-being for these people.
	Yes.
	Totally correct.
	They're not dealing with persons that they think are special.
	If you're so special, if you think people are so special, why do you have to approach them with a theory as to what they are?
	And everyone who fits this side of the story is on the right side of history and anyone who disagrees is all the bad things in the world.
	This doesn't seem very geared towards understanding and recognizing or celebrating individuality.
	No, we need to go and look at The Incredibles because it's just reminding me of that line from The Incredibles.
	Baron Von Warhawk.
	I was reading about a doctor whose job was to help D-trans girls recover from and reverse the surgery.
	He said the first thing all these girls would ask was, so when will my breasts grow back?
	That's sad.
	Yeah.
	That's just really sad.
	These kids have no idea what they're getting into.
	Honestly, I could weep hearing a statement like that.
	Next comment.
	Why is there no diversity in how these people sound when they speak?
	Every single advocate for this stuff always sounds the exact same.
	True.
	Is there only one voice between the lot of them?
	Sounds like a good thing to do in some cheesy horror movie.
	Well I mean they did do that horror movie with Kevin Bacon called They Them about a conversion therapy camp.
	I can't bring myself to watch that.
	A huge crowd which all have only the one voice.
	Because, as we said again, it's not an issue of individuality.
	It's an issue of falling under the theory.
	Free Will 2112.
	Now these assholes have subverted what should be creative fun with their cycle bubble totalitarian crap.
	What a frightful future they're building.
	Yes, and maybe this future should be destroyed like those Lego towers.
	I think.
	Risto Rantanen.
	The alphabet community is using literal cult behaviors.
	Colin P. General Motors' long-term sales strategy pushed the trans agenda, which will lead to more sterility in a lower population.
	That will increase our customer base for sure.
	Now that's sustainability.
	There we go.
	That's good.
	Ross Diggle.
	As a kid, I would have used the bricks to build either a gun or a cock and balls.
	What the F does that prove?
	I was an immature kid.
	Catastrophic...
	I'm just reminded of all the books in the school library that I opened to just find cock and balls drawn on every page all over.
	My friend just used to have great fun finding pictures of women in these pictures and drawing a little cock just sticking out of the skirts.
	Catastrophic regression threshold.
	Ha!
	Least now I know why my GM designed engine blue.
	Hey, it was only one of 42%, all right?
	Must have funneled all the money away from R&D to fund this nonsense.
	Yeah, and let's just get a few more while we've still got a minute or two left for the Waffle House of Horrors, as it has been dubbed in the document saying, Sophie says, violent but mostly peaceful Waffle House.
	Very good point.
	George Happ, the Waffle House lady, is the type of energy we need.
	Not wet blankets like Peter Hitchens, who are afraid of mean words.
	Stand tall, sweet Valkyrie of diabetes.
	Beautiful.
	Sophie again saying, not to be that guy, but one white woman against a mob of black kids.
	If the race had been reversed, obviously, that's very, very clear.
	Well, it seems that this is a common thing in Waffle House.
	Perhaps a bit more extreme than what most people would encounter, but it's like watching a fantasy play out.
	This is a story that doesn't need to have a political angle.
	She's not exactly a darling of the right.
	Yeah, I don't really know anything about her beyond this and some of the quotes from the New York Post article, but just a feel-good saga.
	It's a white pill!
	And last one I'll read out.
	King Elisar is a southerner who frequents Waffle House quite a bit.
	It's always a crapshoot when you sit down.
	Sometimes you meet the real salt-of-the-earth people, those who are just looking for a cheap and filling breakfast or late-night meal to get them back on the road and back to work.
	Or you get the real trash of society that makes your all-star special with hash browns scattered, smothered, chunked and diced with that much more special.
	I miss the night fights.
	Fair play.
	And with that, I think that's all the time that we've got for today.
	So thank you very much for tuning in.
	We'll see you again tomorrow at 1pm.
