Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast Lotus Eaters.
This is episode 604 on the 7th of March 2023.
I'm your host Harry, joined today by Dan.
Hi. And we're going to be talking about the continued COVID cope that we experience here in the UK. We're going to be talking about the problem with Jon Stewart and then also the tragic case of Sasha Johnson, which I thought was old news, but I think you should have an interesting take on it.
It is old news, but I've decided to resurrect it.
Unfortunate choice of words. Oh dear.
But with that, let's get straight into it, shall we?
Yeah, so breaking news.
The world has been gripped by an utterly irrational mass formation psychosis since 2020.
And we now have firm evidence that the bumbling nobody in charge was just making it up as he went along.
I'm referring, of course, to Matt Hancock, who is a smug, grinning turdoid, who used to work at the Bank of England doing data entry and found himself in the position of Minister of Health for the entire country.
He must have an excellent gag reflex.
Our Connor colleague is currently preparing a fuller discussion on these WhatsApp revelations, because I think they're due to come out over about a three-month period, so there's going to be quite a lot of these, and you can only imagine that what they've saved up ahead of us is going to get even worse.
So Connor will be getting that into some detail.
And of course, Harry and Callum, you just covered it at the weekend, didn't you?
We mainly covered the headlines because the headlines were pretty telling in and of themselves, although looking at the actual screenshots as well just goes to show the blithering buffoonery of the people who rule this country.
Yeah. So this is not so much going to be a sort of, you know, covering it for the first time, doing it as a story segment.
This is more going to be in reference to the sheer level of cope that people are having to deal with afterwards.
And also, just on my part, a bit of an angry rant, because I'm still really pissed off about all of this and what they did to us for two years, so I want to get it out of my system.
Always got a few angry rants up our sleeve, Derek.
Yeah, absolutely, especially for this.
Now, before I do get into all of that, I'm just going to mention Premium Contemplations 113, the limitations of science.
A slightly older one, but it is a good one for this topic, so I thought I'd mention that.
You can find that on the website of the Lotus Eaters.
Now, going back to the topic, let's give some context, Charlie.
So, since March 2020, basically the entire Western world was under this mass formation psychosis, and people recently started to be coming around to it.
Although I still see people wearing masks even now.
There may be one in twenty, but there is still people out there doing it.
I actually saw somebody at the weekend walking through the woods wearing a mask.
Or were they afraid the squirrels were going to cough at them?
I don't know. I can only hope they had some absolutely hideous facial disfiguration that meant they were sort of covering something up.
Maybe some Siamese twin would have been trying to start fights with people or something, growing off their chin or whatever.
But anyway, so you still see people who are falling for this, and that's really what I wanted to sort of cover.
Because, you know, back then, people came to believe...
That a deadly virus which had escaped a level 4 biolab in China, you know, the type where people wear those full body suits with their own oxygen supply, people came to believe that a virus that had escaped that environment could be stopped by cutting up an old t-shirt and wearing it around their face.
I remember for a while when it first started, I decided, screw it, I'm going to take the bandito look, and I just had a bandana that I just started wearing around my face just to make people around me feel very comfortable, and then I got scolded by people telling me that the multiple layers of fabric of the bandit mask that I was wearing, this bandana, was not enough, and instead I had to use the incredibly flimsy and thin face masks that we were being told would be much more effective.
Honestly, I... I struggle with the fact that I'm part of the same species as people who genuinely somehow came to believe this stuff.
I've also got a Brokonomics out later today at 3pm with Professor Hector Drummond where we demolish the face mask thing.
He goes into some details so if you want to see the face mask science getting absolutely torn to shreds, tune in at 3 o'clock on the website of the Lotus Eaters and you'll see that takedown.
So, one of the major contentions of people like me at the time, and probably many of you viewers as well, is that the government, they were basically just making it up as they went along.
They were stoking fear.
I certainly had this thrown at me a lot.
I actually had several Tory MPs call me a Covidiot.
You specifically, or just in general?
No, me in particular, because this is when I started getting prominent on talking about these things.
Piers Morgan called me badly misinformed.
Oh, that's interesting coming from him.
And Kay Burley from Sky News decided to compare me to the sort of person who slowed down for a car crash, because I was questioning her narrative on some of this stuff.
I certainly am one of those people who was getting it in the neck at the time because, well, it turns out I was right about bloody all of it, as these WhatsApp messages have proven.
And, you know, what's changed recently?
Well, you know, this has come out since the weekend, since the segment you did, which is particularly interesting.
So take a look at this. This is a conversation, one of these WhatsApp conversations.
The particularly interesting thing to note here is, of course, the date, the 13th of December 2020.
That comes into relation in a minute.
And this part of the conversation about, we need to frighten the pants off everybody with a new strain.
And Matt Hancox is saying, when do we deploy the new variant?
Now, one of the threads that I did at the time on this subject was that with these viruses, it is not binary when you move from one state to another.
It's not like four Lego blocks where you rearrange them and you've now got a new variant.
It is a long string of proteins that are continuously evolving over time.
And what you can simply do is you can look at it and you can say, right, well I think there's been sufficient change that I'm now going to declare that this is a new variant, but it is basically a continuum.
So you can pick anywhere on that continuum and you can declare that there's a new variant and use that to scare people.
So it's mainly arbitrary is what you're saying there?
Yeah. Well, entirely, yeah.
It's just when you've decided.
There's sufficient grounds for giving it a new name.
Time to panic. Yeah, quite.
The 13th of December, that was when we received the Kent variant, which was called the British variant elsewhere in the world, but we called it the Kent variant.
I don't even remember this one at that point.
Yeah, I mean, there were so many of them, isn't it?
It's just such a complete load of absolute shite.
But, you know, that is...
Family friendly. The point is more, is that those of us who question this stuff, we're absolutely right, and it has been proven beyond absolute fact at this point, and there's going to be a lot more of these coming out as well.
Now, let's start thinking about some of the harms that this did.
I mean, here's an image of, you know, kids left out in the snow.
I don't think that's from the UK, but this sort of thing did happen in the UK as well.
This is just the first image that I found that met this sort of thing.
You know, my own kids in the primary school that they're in, All through the winter they left all the windows and doors open at sort of minus four degrees and they had to sit there in their coats all day long because, you know, the staff had been propagandised by this sort of fear-mongering nonsense that we got out.
And it wasn't just kids who were the victim of this.
This is a Toby Young tweet about a business that was destroyed by this.
They didn't buy into this bullshit either, and they were fined £42,000.
It's been reduced a bit.
But, you know, this is one example.
There were many, many businesses who have not had prominence.
I mean, it says that they refused to comply with COVID restrictions in November 2020, which, if I remember correctly, was only three months after the government's eat-out-to-help-out scheme.
So if they'd done so three months previously, they would have been given handouts from the government.
but because they chose to do it in the winter, all of a sudden it's illegal.
Yeah, the absolute madness of this period.
And there are many other businesses destroyed who simply just couldn't operate being closed for much of this two-year period, with the small exception of the eat-out-to-help-out bit.
And I put together some compilations.
So this is a compilation that I put together of the police acting like Well, I won't say it, but here we are.
I think that one on the left is German police arresting Santa Claus.
Literally arresting a symbol of childhood happiness and promise.
Yeah, I mean, I think if you go back far enough into the law of Santa Claus, he did start off as a German paedophile.
I think that's where the story originated.
Oh, well, why would the police be going after him?
No, obviously the police wouldn't go after that sort of thing.
No, no. Especially statute of limitations, and that's quite an old story.
But anyway, so the thinking is, is that a thin piece of t-shirt, that would protect you, but because he's wearing a big white fluffy beard, he needs to be arrested and put on the...
He's a carrier. Yes. Must have been.
Then we've got police harassing people on the beach.
That could be Australia, that one.
I mean, the Australian police went completely mad, didn't they?
I think that's German police again, or maybe Austrian or, you know, one of those whatever countries.
Do you remember? I think it was the Scottish police.
They put out a photo on their Twitter of some area in Scotland of just a field and just said, remember, we're watching wherever you are.
Oh, they were flying drones around and stuff, weren't they?
In fact, we could do a whole segment on just the police response to this.
It was complete madness. In one area, they dyed a lake, like a blue colour, No, was it?
It was naturally a blue cone.
They dyed it purple or something to stop people going to have a look at it.
Because they wanted to stop people going outside.
I mean, if you couldn't...
Describe to me cartoonishly evil in one image, and that's that.
Well, quite. So, yeah, much respect.
Were they also going around...
On that one in the middle on the beach, were they also kicking over the sandcastles, I assume?
No. Well, and they were doing that as well.
They were filling in skating parks and all the rest of it, weren't they?
And then, of course, the iconic image on the right of Canadian police, Canada being the home to tolerance and communism, of course, riding over an elderly Indian woman...
For her own health.
Yes, on a mobility scooter with a horse, because...
Well, there was some sort of reason they gave at the time, and I forget what it was now.
So it wasn't just police acting like this.
Here are some wedding photos, which I've decided to pick on.
So on the left, we've got two complete couple of nodders.
At least they went the extra mile to decorate the masks for the occasion.
Also, I don't know if these people were aware of what was expected of them on a wedding night, but they are going to have to get somewhat more intimate than that.
Yes, go on. Look, they're going to be looking at these wedding photos for the next sort of 30 or 40 years.
I mean, well, you know, divorce rates notwithstanding.
Well, I mean, if these two people ended up doing that, I'm not holding out hope for the marriage.
So they're going to be looking at wedding photos like that for decades to come where they look like complete burks because they bought into the nonsense at the time.
And just to illustrate the point of what wedding photos are supposed to look like, I included one of my own wedding photos on the right, where I got married on a battleship, because of course I did.
Are you just dunking on the audience now?
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
I mean, honestly, I don't understand people getting married in churches.
Have churches ever fired on the enemy?
Well, I mean, probably.
I don't think so. You show me a church that has three confirmed U-boat kills and put 2,000 rounds into German defences and D-Day.
That's where I got made, HMS Belfast.
So that's what your wedding photos are supposed to look like, and they are not supposed to look like that absolute twatry on the left.
My friends live on the Channel Islands, so I'll ask them if there's any churches down there that can fulfil your qualifications.
Well, I'm hoping not to do it again, unless she annoys me or something.
Oh, actually, she watches these.
Right, quickly, move on to the next one.
Quickly, quickly. The next photo is just nobbers in general.
You know, there were so many images that we could choose from this period of absolute madness.
So there's a priest using a water bottle to baptise a baby.
Holding up that family, I assume.
There we've got somebody who watches the TV and has taken it seriously.
I mean, all of these people are TV watches.
Those tubes aren't even six metres.
Yeah. I mean, he looks like an actual dickhead.
Yes. And I mean, there were surprisingly many examples of people wearing pool noodles on their head.
There was one cafe that made a whole bunch of people do it.
And of course, people walking in the woods in whatever setup that is.
And, you know, I was so spoiled for choice when it came to pictures of people being ridiculous about all of this.
You know, The year before all of this went down in 2019, I lived in Salford, and one time I went to the local supermarket in Salford, and there was these people wondering about, I don't know what was wrong with them if they were just hypercontracts in full hazmat suits, and I can only assume they were just ahead of the curve.
What was wrong with them?
Is they were TV watchers?
That must have been it. Probably.
Yeah, quite. I'm shocked as well that you've not included my favourite images from the whole thing of the entire...
I think it's a jazz band or an orchestra where they're all playing their images in little plastic boxes and they're wearing their masks but the masks have slits cut through them so they can get...
It's so stupid!
These people, like you say, these people have got photographic evidence of how retarded they are, that they can look back on for the rest of their life, and with shame.
Yes, you won't find any photographic evidence of me in a mask, I can promise you that.
But it wasn't just people being hilariously stupid.
Let's cut to a slightly sadder tweet of mine.
There were other responses.
To the pandemic, which I won't name on this website, but this is a young woman.
An image paints a thousand words, right?
Yeah. 21 years old who had a heart condition, and she was told that despite of this, despite of the fact that it would almost certainly...
Cause significant harms that she should participate in that response to the COVID thing that we won't talk about and it had the predictable response of causing catastrophic injuries to her legs and she now looks like this.
I will say, without naming any specifics, that I also have met somebody who had certain complications, that as a result of which they were one of, I think, eight people in the country to have confirmed to have developed cancer because of it, which is pretty awful to learn.
That we know of. I mean, I know somebody as well.
Yes, that we know of. I know somebody who, she wasn't a professional runner, but she was very near it.
She was one of those people who was a really good runner.
You'd see on Strava all the time, posting these amazing times.
And she participated in this aspect of the COVID response and she lost 30% of her lung tissue due to blood cots.
Spent months in hospital. She's out now and she's, I say running again, but I see her times on Strava and For those of you who are listening to the podcast rather than watching it, I am a fat old man, and yet I can easily outrun her.
And she was an absolute champion.
So this is very sad.
We don't know the full extent of the rare complications associated with this aspect of the pandemic, but people were hurt.
That's just what happened to us here in the Western world.
The response to the effects in the developing world was utterly, utterly demonic.
So the UN put out a report and they were able to calculate that 100 million people were pushed into poverty by lockdowns.
Because of course when Western world shuts down supply chains and shuts down normal business, that has a ripple effect out to the rest of the world.
Western world started bidding up things like energy and food supplies, which became more rare, which basically resulted in making sure that the flow to the Western world was uninterrupted while these knock-on effects were taking effect, but it meant that the developing world did get squeezed out.
So 100 million people were pushed into poverty around the world by the lockdowns, and this is a number that I want you to sear into your mind.
That same report concluded that 283,000 children starved to death as a direct result of lockdown.
So let me say that again.
283,000 children died as a direct result of lockdown from starvation.
And when did this report come out?
Oh, this was maybe about a year ago now.
I forget the time, but it was a UN report that came out.
And they also concluded that a further 6.7 million were basically malnourished as a result of this.
And that malnourishment will be causing them health problems for the rest of their life.
And I don't see Kay Burley or anybody continually bringing this one up.
None of them care. And this is all because in the Western world, people like Matt Hancock thought they knew best And they thought that, you know, they thought they got it better.
And when they realised that they had made a mistake, they doubled down.
Because they wanted to avoid looking like they'd made a mistake.
And these leaks, these WhatsApp messages that we're seeing now, they knew that they were peddling complete and utter bullshit.
And yet they went ahead and did it anyway.
They trampled freedoms.
They destroyed businesses.
They ruined lives.
They cost lives, as we've seen here.
They denied people the comfort of being with their friends and family in their final moments.
People, including young children, died in hospital.
Without their family next to them, because the staff at these hospitals were terrified to let people in, because scumbags like Matt Hancock had frightened them with stuff that they knew simply wasn't true.
I'm going to throw you now to the Terrorism Act 2000, because as far as I'm concerned, Matt Hancock is a terrorist, so this you can find on the gov.uk website if you type in Terrorism Act 2000.
I'm looking here at Section 1.
The definitions, and I'm just going to read a little bit of what the definition of terrorism is for you.
It says, in this act, terrorism means the use or threat of actions, where the use or threat is designed to influence a government or intimidate the public.
Sounds like a bit of both to me.
Yeah, it is precisely.
He did precisely both of these things.
Further, this section goes on to explain the action falls within this subset if it involves serious violence against a person.
Well, I've shown you people with serious injuries.
If it involves serious damage to properties, well, yes, many businesses were utterly destroyed by this.
If it endangers people's life other than the person committing the action.
Yes, because Matt Hancock was fine.
Matt Hancock was attending parties.
He was seeing his mistress. Yeah, he was having an affair.
He was having a great time.
He was enjoying himself immensely, as you can tell from the tone of his message.
I don't think he was well endowed enough to be able to maintain six feet distance.
No, certainly not. You know, maybe minus two and a half inches, but that would be about it.
And further, the act says, create serious risk of the health and safety of the public.
Well, delayed cancer diagnoses, record NHS waiting lists, the people who killed themselves through the stress and anxiety this caused.
Almost 300,000 children starved across the globe.
Yep, all of that as well.
I know that you're going to get onto this by the time we get to the end of this segment, but I think as well, I think you're being rather...
You're not being ambitious enough by just saying Matt Hancock here, because it is very, very convenient that all of the leaks seem to point only directly towards Matt Hancock being the instigator of much of this.
Very, very true, yes.
I absolutely... Also very suspicious that Matt Hancock himself was supposedly the person who leaked it to Isabel Oakeshaw.
There's obviously some manoeuvring going on behind the scenes.
I mean, that raises an interesting question.
Is Matt Hancock the fall guy?
And look, he would make a great fall guy because he's currently an independent MP. He's not in the Tories anymore.
Everybody already hates him.
Yeah, quite. I mean, he got kicked out of the Tories a few months back because he wanted to go on some celebrity jungle thing, TV program.
Which was, I assume, supposed to be his managerially...
It's because he's so deluded that he actually thought that he could be Prime Minister and that he needed to boost his public image by going on this game show and that by doing that he could be Prime Minister one day.
If I eat some horse testicles on live television all is forgiven.
Is that what they do? Oh dear.
I'm a celebrity, I believe so.
Or camel testicles or something.
He was guzzling balls of some kind.
Because he was rushing off on this jungle thing, he handed over all of these messages to Isabel Oakeshott, the journalist who was writing his memoirs for him, ghost writing his memoirs for him.
And when she saw them, she decided that actually she was going to break the MDA. She was going to take the...
The legal fallout that came with that and she's going to publish them because, well quite frankly I think she did the right thing.
But there are those people who think that he's being set up as a full gun and I agree with that.
I think he is because the Telegraph is basically happy to make it all about him because by making it all about him what they're not doing is they're not focusing on the other government ministers who are equally culpable but they want to retain access to get interviews and comments from the rest of the ministers.
So it looks like it's sort of all largely falling on Matt Hancock.
And there are also those people I've seen online who are making the suggestion that this is all being done to further public support for the WHO, the World Health Organization bill that's going through at the moment, would transfer power to operate pandemics to the WHO. I've covered that a few times.
You can find those on the podcast if you go on the channel.
I don't personally put too much stock in that because I think what these revelations show is that nobody should have had these powers, let alone some unaccountable body, because it's worth bearing in mind that the who still believe that the pandemic is going on, I Well, that paper and other such legislation, as far as I see it, is basically just a legalised formalisation of what already happens and what is already going on.
Right, okay. So people, including me, should check out those segments that you've done on that.
I would recommend it, yes.
Absolutely. I'm going to refer to how it felt back in 2000.
This is a tweet that I quite like.
That was exactly how it felt back in 2000.
I'm sure a lot of people watching this podcast today can empathise with that character at the front.
You had to stand up to a lot of people and saying, yes, yes, you were all wrong.
And I'm sure there'll be even more of you watching this who will say to yourself, well, actually, you know, I was probably in the I was in the crowd as well, but at least I recognise where we are now on this.
For a time, I have to admit that I also was in the crowd for a little bit, but then as soon as it got to around the eat out to help out, and then I, unlike many others, I have certain pattern recognition skills which seem to be dying out these days.
I started to notice every bit of information the government is giving us is contradictory, and now I know people personally who've had COVID firsthand.
I know that it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as severe as they're making it out to be.
Yeah, anybody with basic pattern recognition will recognise quite quickly that we were certainly being lied to.
However, not everybody has got that memo, which is the main thrust of this segment, really.
So here's a poll from YouGov, where basically 71% of it, if you add up the response.
So basically the question here is, in hindsight, do you think the government's handling of COVID-19 outbreak was generally, and 71% of people have said that it was either not strict enough or about right?
Very disappointing that so many people should think that.
I will point out that YouGov is basically more of a gaslighting operation than a polling company.
YouGov is not the most trustworthy organisation.
No, I actually met the people who founded it, because YouGov used to be owned by Nahim Zbahari, who was the government's vaccine minister for many years, and a couple of other guys.
I know I met them about 20 years ago, they came to me wanting money Oh, I'm sorry.
When they were trying to start up.
That must have been a difficult experience for you.
You're still recovering now.
They're quite affable chaps, but I mean, they're explaining their methodology to me and saying, you know, basically what we do is we select people to participate in these surveys.
Well, from what I've heard as well, I think Callum covered it back when everybody started to notice, hold up 71% seems to be the sweet spot number for YouGov polls, that a lot of people who they've probably gathered information on from previous responses to other surveys, they don't get sent the emails out if it's a particular survey.
Because they build a profile on the people who respond to the surveys, so by simply selecting who they send it to, they can pretty much guarantee the result that they're going to get in advance.
And this is one of the questions that I put to them about 20 years ago.
And they sort of, you know, gave me that sort of look that implies, well, it couldn't possibly, but, you know, and then gave me all the right guff about, oh, no, no, you know, our methodology is designed to be blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But yeah, absolutely, that's bloody well what they do.
I didn't invest in them, by the way, but they seem to have done all right anyway.
So, yeah, so that YouGov poll is suggesting that an alarmingly large amount of people seem to think that actually the government did get it right when there was just incontrovertible evidence they got it completely wrong.
And this is a tweet that I put out because the intelligentsia is really suffering from a bad case of cope on this.
So you've got sort of economists and barristers and opinion setters all basically trying to say that, you know, yes, these revelations basically show that we were completely wrong, but actually we weren't because of reasons.
You know, it's...
I mean, well, you can read them at your leisure, but basically there's a whole bunch of people out there at the moment desperately trying to justify why they were not in fact wrong.
That's Andrew Linko, who made a complete fool of himself at the beginning by basically swarthing himself, his family, and his shopping in Dettol every time they came back into the house and quarantining food for three days and all the rest of it.
He's now trying to exclaim that there was nothing wrong with it.
I like this quote from Thomas Sowell.
People will forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right, especially if events proved that you were right while proving them wrong.
That is exactly what the Western world is going through at the moment, and we're going to have to come to terms with this.
So, yeah, that is all very sad, but we've got to this situation.
This is effectively, I think, a domino falling.
Now, Matt Hancock, he is a terrorist.
I've shown you that he meets all the qualifications for terrorists.
What they did to us was utterly reprehensible.
I needed to speak out on this issue because it upsets me so much.
Upsets me what they did to people, what they did to children, what they did to businesses, the harms that they put on people, the missed cancer diagnosis.
Well, not to mention the 283,000 children.
They starved to death doing all of this.
It is very important that we don't let this slip from public memory.
And I know that Matt Hancock is currently being set up as the fall guy.
I say, take him.
Take him down. Let's book that win and then don't give up there.
Let's carry on to the rest of the people who perpetrated this on us.
But I'm more than happy to take down Matt Hancock, who is this smug idiot.
I mean, we've got texts included in these leaks showing that Boris was looking at the data, coming to the conclusions that many of the supposed anti-vaxxers, like yourself and myself, were coming to, and then went ahead with everything that was advised to him.
At the very least, I mean, Boris has had an easy ride on this so far, but at the very least it proves that he was a very weak man who should not have been Prime Minister because he couldn't stand up to, well, obvious nonsense that even he could see through.
So yeah, Matt Hancock, we're coming for you, and we're coming for all the rest of you as well.
Harry, is Matt Hancock the only smarmy smug liar around, or does America have any examples?
No, he is not. Speaking of smug smarmy burks, let's take a look at the problem with Jon Stewart.
Now, we tend to try and keep these segments to about 20 to 25 minutes, so I can't go through all of the problems with Jon Stewart, or else we would need to be here all day, and possibly even longer, and go on a number of history lessons as well.
Right, right. But Jon Stewart has gone viral again recently, because this happens every so often.
His show, The Problem With Jon Stewart, seems to attract controversy, which is exactly what it's designed to do, especially after that recent segment that happened last year where he talked about the problem with white people.
Very telling, that, wasn't it?
The problem with white people is essentially that they have their own history, they have their own culture, and occasionally black people and brown people don't live up to the standards of those cultures so imprehensible.
So we must flip around the entire structure of society to make sure that black and brown people are winning all the time in every circumstance.
Which is not necessarily something that I support, being that I generally support this thing called meritocracy.
Radical notion. I know.
Insane, isn't it? But this time he's been caught out, well, not caught out, he's gone viral talking about gun rights, gun laws, what should be done about the Second Amendment, Drag Queen Story Hour again, all as part of a conversation he had with a Oklahoma state senator called Nathan Dam, which must be one of the most American names I've ever heard in my life.
Nate Dam! That sounds like an exclamation that you do after whipping a bull and firing your pistols into the air, doesn't it?
Freedom. Yes, freedom and bald eagle flies past majestically.
Oh, it brings a tear to my eye.
Like the imagery. Yes, as do I. But, before I get into it, I would like to remind everybody of an article that I wrote quite a long time ago, actually, at the end of December 2021, talking about Britain's aversion to self-defence, which could be retitled How Britain Lost Its Gun Rights.
Because, remember, when we open up avenues for these sorts of conversations, especially you in the US, which is protected somewhat...
It's a bit flimsy at the moment, but you are still somewhat protected by your Second Amendment, that it's very, very easy to let all of your rights slip away one by one, one step at a time, one moral outrage or moral panic, one after the other, especially when we start to talk about think of the children.
Now, children are very important.
We should do as much as we can to protect children, but Jon Stewart and others advocating to repeal gun laws, well, sorry, add more gun laws and restrictions so that they're able to take away more people's guns, is not going to protect more children.
And I will get into the exact reasons why.
If you want to learn about how England and Britain lost their gun laws, check out this article.
I am still very happy with it.
So let's move on. So this was a recent segment from The Problem with Jon Stewart, which was supposedly from the March 3rd episode.
If we go to the next link, please, Jon, just to highlight it for everyone.
So the episode was called Chaos, Law& Order, and this was an interview that he did with the state senator, Nathan Dam, which was only about eight minutes of the entire show.
As you can imagine, heavily edited, to the point where Dam himself...
Has been a little bit annoyed at how they edited it to make him look bad.
He did say that Stuart was very polite to him before and after the interview.
If you're a politician, you should be very leery about doing anything pre-recorded.
It should normally just always be live.
Well, supposedly it went on for about an hour and a half, and...
Only eight minutes long, but they got onto a number of subjects.
They got onto a number of subjects including, you know, like I said, the Second Amendment, gun rights, gun violence, Drag Queen's Story Hour, and such.
But there is one particular clip of it which has been going around, which Oran McIntyre and others have been highlighting here.
Oran gives his nice little rundown of what's going on rhetorically, but let's watch the clip first and then we can analyse it from there.
Even rights have responsibilities, and that within those responsibilities are responsibilities and order, otherwise it's chaotic.
I'll go one further. You want to ban drag show readings to children.
To my house, yes. Why?
What are you protecting?
Why can we prohibit children from voting, those under 18, from voting?
Why are you banning? Is that free speech?
Are you infringing on that performer's free speech?
They can continue to exercise their free speech, just not in front of a child.
Why? Because the government does have a responsibility to protect...
I'm sorry? The government does have a responsibility in certain instances to protect children.
What's the leading cause of death amongst children in this country?
And I'm going to give you a hint.
It's not drag show readings to children.
Correct, yes. So what is it?
I'm presuming you're going to say it's firearms.
No, I'm not going to say it like it's an opinion.
That's what it is.
It's firearms. More than cancer, more than car accidents.
And what you're telling me is you don't mind infringing free speech to protect children from this amorphous thing that you think of.
But when it comes to children that have died, you don't give a flying fuck.
To stop that because that shall not be infringed.
That is hypocrisy at its highest order.
Oh Nathan, that was an easy one.
That was an easy one. You are right that he should have said abortion because...
Well, and also he should have made a point about where those children are dying.
They're dying in cities where guns have already been bound.
Well, well, no, that's the thing.
There's that. And also, he should have asked the question, and that's where I'm going to get on.
Who exactly is it killing these children?
Because Jon Stewart would not be particularly happy about the answer.
And we'll take a look at his response to when people have suggested solutions for these problems.
Oh, right. Okay. What his solutions to these problems would be.
So, yes, I do have some questions for John.
Oron gives a good point here, which is just it was a complete pivot.
It was just a complete rhetorical tactic to make it look like he'd won the argument.
Nathan should have handled that better, though.
Well, he might have done, but they might have just edited it out.
Yes, fair point. There's no way of really being able to tell without seeing the full hour and a half released to everybody.
Personally, I wouldn't agree to do an interview with somebody like Jon Stewart, especially on his show, because it is not designed to be bipartisan, it's not designed to be unbiased and fair.
I'd do an interview with him on my show.
I'd do an interview with him here. Oh, that would be very interesting.
Yeah, I would love to see that, but I'm not one of those sorts of people like some others.
Even Callum and Kyle have mentioned in the past, oh, Jon Stewart, he used to be alright.
He used to be good. I have never once seen a clip of Jon Stewart where he's been anything other than a smarmy, smug, bastard liar.
I vaguely remember him from the 90s, and he seemed alright then, but he didn't.
Well, it seems to me, from the clips that I've seen, that in the past he had generally the same worldview and talking points, he just wasn't quite as blatant with them.
Possibly because the culture wasn't ready yet for it, or possibly because the majority of people hadn't seen through the veil of Boomer truth as much as they have currently.
But no, Jon Stewart is not somebody who I think has ever been good.
I look from the clips that I've seen.
If you would like to correct me on this, leave some clips down below.
You know, he might have said some things about, oh, the US shouldn't have been in the Iraq War.
Oh, congratulations. Wow.
That's a real radical position that you've taken out.
But I've got some questions for John, which is that what demographics...
Are those that are causing the incredible amount of gun deaths in the US? And that was so shocking, that question is to almost take Dan off his seat.
Yes. Contain your excitement from this.
I've sat back upright. What are the demographics?
Well, we'll take a look into that. And if these communities happen to be mainly people, these demographics of marginalised backgrounds, shall we say, what should be done?
About what tactics should be taken to reduce the level of gun crime in these communities, perhaps.
But we'll take a look into that in a moment.
So this seems to be part of the references that are going across, the studies that are going across, saying that gun violence is now the number one leading cause of child mortality in the US. After abortion.
After abortion, but they would never count that because they don't see fetuses as actual living creatures or children.
So this is one of many studies that were done that just said, 2020, that's the most recent year we've got this data from, I think the FBI was going to start releasing data on gun violence in 2021, but decided not to.
I can imagine they might be somewhat reticent.
Yes, they would be a little bit hesitant to do so, but they said firearms were the number one cause of death for children ages 1 to 19 in the United States, taking the lives of 4,357 children.
The spike in 2020 child firearm deaths in the US was primarily driven by an increase in gun assault deaths.
I mean, stating the obvious there.
Child firearm assault mortality rate reached a high in 2020 with a rate of 3.6 per 100,000.
39% increase from the year before.
No mention of causes or anything like that.
And you'll notice that Jon Stewart was very, very clear to avoid causes or mention anything other than just the one talking point that he can use to throw at Republicans who like guns because they can keep people safe.
I have such a clear sense in my mind where you're going to take this.
Oh, you're absolutely right.
And Time and other such publications were reporting on this as well.
And Time, respect to them, mentioned one of the things that you're not supposed to notice.
Only in passing, but they did.
If we go to the next one, they say in this article...
Though this breakdown did not have any racial demographic information, other studies show that black and brown children are typically more exposed to gun violence than white children are.
No. I know, I know.
Big shock. I thought that it was the melting pot.
Bring me your tired, your hungry, your poor, and then everyone just becomes...
They get their passport, they get their green card, and you're American.
It's been a long time since I've taken a proper look at...
Well, apart from... Apart from another segment that's possibly coming up soon.
Perhaps. But when I've sort of last looked into these numbers in any great detail, if you remove a certain five Democrat cities, the picture does change quite remarkably.
It is. Well, we'll get onto...
I imagine we'll get onto some of those Democrat-run cities as we go further.
And this next one in Forbes, who...
Are more likely to talk about such things than time, but still mainstream news source, so I was surprised to find them break the information down so nicely.
So this one, they looked at the CDC study that was published in the journal Gemma Pediatrics, analysed over 38,000 homicide victims under 17 years old between 1999 and 2020, rates increased significantly among several demographics, including boys, 6-10 year olds, 11-15 year olds, and black children and Hispanic children, primarily.
But that's not the only thing they found.
They found that the study noted that of the victims, 69.4% were male.
I mean, this is all typical information that we know.
While some rates did decline, including rates for girls, infants, 1-5 year olds, Asian or Pacific Islander children, and white children and children of the Northeast.
Which, children in the North East, white children, there's a lot of overlap there, as far as I'm aware of how the demographic structure of America is.
Roughly what I understand, yes.
Yes. And that's not something, once again, that you hear Jon Stewart mention.
He just wants his catchy, anti-Second Amendment talking points, despite the fact in the interview, if you watch the full eight minutes, he does say, oh, I support the Second Amendment.
You're not really convincing me on that one, Jon.
Seeing as every time you bring up the Second Amendment, you bring up how you need to restrict it, and then you bring up these out-of-context Bits of data to throw at people.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the children killed by this were not killed by legally owned firearms purchased in the regular manner.
Probably not. No.
And once again, I mean, if it's white people, if it's white people shooting these black children out of just a sense of post-colonial violence and wanting to...
We might have.
I know that from the clips that I've been seeing passed around on social media recently, when it comes to interracial violence, it's typically not white on black.
That would chime with the figures I've seen, certainly.
Yes, yes. And everybody knows this.
We say this like we're saying it like it's some surreptitious, like, little cheeky thing, ooh, aren't we naughty, saying this.
Everybody knows this. Everybody knows it.
If you even go on websites like this one, American Progress, and with a name like that, you know exactly the position that this magazine or website or whatever they are is taking.
They are progressives, they are leftists, and they talk about it, gun violence disproportionately and overwhelmingly hurts communities of colours.
But they only ever talk about it from one perspective, which we can see just...
Highlighted in that headline, well, in the subline there.
The lack of investment.
Lack of investment in communities of colours coupled with weak gun laws.
Okay, who would be enforcing those gun laws, I wonder?
And what is the status of those people when they go into those neighbourhoods?
So presumably, what, guns are encouraged in places like Chicago?
Or are they completely outright?
I think what it is, is less Gibbs equals more deaths.
That's the equation that we're working with here.
On the moral calculator, less Gibbs, less reparations, more deaths.
Pay me, effectively. Pay me.
Have you watched Blazing Saddles?
No, but I think that I should.
It's a very funny film, but there's a great scene near the beginning, because obviously it's set in the Wild West, it's a satirical comedy, they get sent the black sheriff, and it's an incredibly racist neighbourhood, little town, in the middle of the desert of nowhere.
They all pull their guns on him the second they realise, oh, this is the guy who's going to be the new sheriff.
So, in response, he pulls a gun on himself, Freeze!
Or the end gets it.
And then everybody puts their guns down in shock.
Oh, good God, he might just be crazy enough to do it.
That's what they're doing here. They're holding the gun to their own heads saying, give me more money.
Give me more money or I'll do it.
I'll do it. And all of the people in legislation in the government are going, he might be crazy enough to do it, guys.
He might be. We need to start considering this reparation.
And they say... Carrying on in the article, So this is probably lining up with some of the things that you were referring to.
This is due to a combination, once again, they like to reinforce it over and over again, of weak gun laws, systemic racial inequalities, including unequal access to safe housing and adequate educational and employment opportunities, and the history of disinvestment in public infrastructure and services in the communities of colour most affected by gun violence.
Now, does that ring true to you?
You mentioned Thomas Sowell in the last segment.
He has made lots of comments on such things.
Oh, he is masterful on this subject.
Absolutely masterful.
He is excellent. Does that ring true to what you've heard and what you've read on such things?
Yes. That quote that we mentioned there was Thomas Sowell.
He says, people forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right, especially when you being right proves them wrong.
Yes, and Thomas Sowell has done a lot to point out that many other communities that come from, you could say, underprivileged backgrounds, immigrants coming from China, a lot of East Asians coming over to America, they start out just as impoverished as many of these black communities, and yet you don't see anywhere near the same levels of violence or gun crimes or anything.
No, you don't. In fact, I believe... Indian Americans, which is, you know, spots not feathers, different types.
I don't know what the nomenclature is.
But people from India who are now living in America, I believe, are the most successful demographic, I can't speak, with the highest household income per capita.
And they've obviously come in as immigrants.
And the same with, you know, other...
Asian communities, again relatively low crime, started quite impoverished and yet are doing quite well for themselves.
Generally within one or two generations they'll have taken themselves up from absolute poverty within these ghettos into being able to move into generally quite affluent neighbourhoods.
So it can be done?
Yeah, it's all about, Thomas Sowell puts it forward as it's all about work ethic and the culture of these particular demographics, and he always points out that the black demographics, their culture is a particularly harmful one because they have a weird twisted form of honour culture where it's all about how many women you can get and how many people you've killed.
And you've all listened to rap music at home.
You know the sorts of things that they're talking about.
That's just day-to-day life in a lot of these neighbourhoods.
And the solution is never the obvious one, because personally what I would do, send the police in.
Police these neighbourhoods a bit more thoroughly.
That's what I would suggest.
That's generally what works and has been proven to work.
But apparently that's racist.
It's not the solution that they want, though.
I don't think that America can have...
The policing that it wants with the demographics that it has.
They want Gibbs. Yeah.
They want Gibbs. I mean, speaking of Thomas Sowell, I'm thinking of doing a brokenomics basically just on Thomas Sowell because he's so sound on all of this stuff.
The difficulty would be just trying to compress down his soundness into just one episode.
Yeah, he's got so much work to go through.
But going from somebody like Thomas Sowell, I'm going to reference somebody else as well, who you may not associate in the same league as Thomas Sowell, but I think is an intellectual of his time, which is Carl Pilkington.
Okay, fair enough. You've watched An Idiot Abroad, I assume?
Well, I don't watch any TV, but I have seen a couple of clips of him asking strange questions while being...
He's very entertaining, but an idiot abroad was obviously, you know, send average Mancunian across the world, record his reactions to everything, you've got a great TV show, Ricky Gervais, very smart in doing so, but in one of the episodes he goes to the US, and he's driven around by a very large and affable black man around a ghetto neighbourhood, I think it's in Compton, and he's shown a drive-through funeral parlour.
Which is not something that I'd ever heard of before watching that show.
So you don't even have to get out of the car, you just...
No, you just drive up.
There's a big window. It's like a McDonald's drive-through, except you don't order anything.
There's just a window. Through that window, there is a room, oftentimes with a seat in the corner where you'll see the mother of a young man weeping.
And they have a casket, and they'll have the body there, and you can just drive up.
Presumably... Oh, so thank God you don't need to have a dead body in the passenger seat or anything and just...
No, you don't drop them off.
Right, I see. You're not dropping off.
This is still bad, but not quite as bad as I first assumed.
I can understand where your mind jumped to there.
But no, you can drive up and you can presumably honk your horn, you know, drink something and have a bud and then pay your respects and then drive off and let, I don't know, the cousins in the car behind you drive up and do the same thing.
Very strange. And I decided just as a little thought experiment, well, not even a thought experiment, just to look at some figures as to where these places mainly are.
And if we go to the next one, tell me if you notice any patterns between these areas.
Okay, so they mainly pop up in Atlanta, Georgia.
Right, so a Democrat city with a crime problem.
Memphis, Tennessee.
Democrat city, isn't it?
Compton in California.
Oh, that's a... That's definitely Democrat.
Saginaw, Michigan, which I'm not too familiar with, but I'd be willing to bet heavy Democrat, and I looked into the population, it's about 50% black.
It will be Democrat. Yeah, so it will be Democrat, judging by voting patterns.
And then Chicago, Illinois. Oh, the legendary Chicago.
Yes, the legendary Chicago South Side is where most of these places pop up.
So, once again, there is a pattern here, and the pattern also goes to, like we say, the voting patterns, the Democrats who want to defund the police.
I would imagine that all of these cities have quite strict gun laws as well.
Yes, and they want to be...
suggesting that people who breach gun laws by shooting people do not also breach them when they acquire them in the first place.
No, but they definitely don't want to enforce policing in particular neighbourhoods in those places, and the people who govern those places are very, very, I'll say kind on crime.
I think that's a good way of putting it.
They're very kind on crime.
All of those people causing the overwhelming demand for drive-thru funerals, they're all just a Robin Hood of some form or another.
There's no other explanation for it.
But what's Jon Stewart's opinion on policing these neighbourhoods?
Because I decided there's now this news, because we can always trust them for excellent reporting...
All the way from 2020, during the George Floyd riots, protests, the summer of Floyd.
They just decided to ask, or at least got clips from this interview, where somebody said, where do you stand on calls for defunding the police, which would only benefit these communities, I can assume.
Let's see his response.
I'm wondering where you stand on calls for defunding the police.
You know, it's hard for me to answer it without the context of the whole thing.
What I do think is we built a segregated system and we built it up for 400 years and just because we said it was over wasn't enough.
We have to dismantle it in the same way that with the same effort and the same vehemence that we built it.
So just dismantle it.
we built up the system so we need to dismantle it because it negatively impacts them well i mean okay so john the the very fact that you can then throw in the faces of somebody who's saying uh hey drag queen story hour might not be good for kids and then you can throw figures in the face of him saying well actually guns that you support are what's killing kids across the u.s
even though those two subjects are completely unrelated from one another he's not saying that drag queen story hours literally you sit on the drag queen's knee and then presumably they stab you repeated times until No, they just rub themselves all over you while wearing a bikini.
Yeah, exactly. Much more wholesome, maybe.
No. Yeah, he's not saying any, you know, you bring this up, and then when you actually look into the figures, and you look into the details of what's causing this uptick in gun crimes against children, and you look at the solutions, you have no solutions.
Because you do not care about making people's lives better.
Because we bring up these neighbourhoods, The people in these neighbourhoods are not all going to be the same.
They're not all going to be the ones committing these crimes.
In fact, a lot of them are probably going to be upstanding and relatively honest.
Oh no, they are by far and away the victims.
Yeah, they're the victims of their own neighbourhoods.
And the fact that you are out there...
The fact that you are out there supporting legislation and supporting movements that actively help to victimise the people in these neighbourhoods is why you are a smarmy, slimy scumbag, and that is only one of the problems with Jon Stewart.
Well, thankfully that sort of thing only happens in America.
Next segment, the tragic case of Sasha Johnson.
So we last covered Sasha Johnson back in podcast episode 139, and that was in May 2021, after she'd been tragically shot following her involvement in the Black Lives Matter.
Has it almost been two years already?
It has, yeah.
Following her involvement in the Black Lives Matter protest and her furious announcements at the time of white people.
Now, I'll just remind you that Crimestoppers currently have a reward of £20,000 available for information pertaining to the individuals who shot her and left her in her current condition, because after two years after her shooting...
no witnesses have come forward, despite the fact that she was in a house party at the time with over 30 people in attendance.
Apparently nobody saw anything.
Was it one or two children that she had?
Two, I believe, that she had.
So, yes, this is a tragic story.
Now, before I get on to that, I'm just going to refer to an old premium video.
This is an oldie but a goodie from Carl.
It is the worst of race critical theory.
You can find that on the website.
It seems germane to this conversation.
So, returning to Sasha.
Just in case you don't remember this case, Sasha was a well-known BLM activist during the summer of Floyd.
Let's just remind ourselves of her.
This is a video that we've got of the young lady in question.
We need a black militia.
When I say that, I'm not saying it because I want people to fear and think we're becoming violent.
What we're saying is you push, we push.
You fight, we fight.
Peace is not peace until you recognise our life.
And we're not going to lay down anymore. I'm not going down on a knee.
I'm always going to be ten toes standing, just like my ancestors, ten toes standing.
No justice! No justice!
No peace! Take it to the streets!
I can't hear you. No justice!
No justice!
No peace! Take it to the streets!
Take it to the streets! I've got a no terrorist group.
The police is no different from the KKK. They stand around and protect statues and buildings instead of people.
They need to join the local council and start to lit a pic too.
When I say they have a pepper spray, we have our own too.
They have smokes, we have it too. Come together, put your fists in the air.
Black power! Don't ever be scared to say it doesn't mean that you hate another race or anybody that said that you hate them.
They too have hidden racism because they're scared of your blackness.
Black is beautiful. Black is That's great.
So, I don't mean to besmirch her name, given the tragic circumstances she finds herself in, but I will just say that was a complete stream of sludge and sewage just coming from her mouth right there.
That was nonsense, one after the other.
I don't know how far it goes back, but I know the No Justice, No Peace slogan goes at least as far back as the Rodney King riots of 1993.
The No Justice and No Peace is sadly a sort of connecting theme through this segment.
But let me just pick on the last element of what she said there.
And I'm quoting here from Mrs Johnson.
She says, So that's just Sasha getting on record, clearing up any potential confusion...
There's some people who might have that, because she's talking about issues, that that means that she has, you know, disrespect or a lack of empathy for another race or even possibly hatred towards them.
She's just making clear that that is not the case.
I'm sorry, just the grammar in the sentence, don't ever be scared to say it doesn't mean you hate another race.
That's... Confusing.
I'm having to dissect it.
The syntax is a little bit garbled, but you can sort of piece these things.
So she's just making clear that advocations of black power does not mean any hatred towards any other race.
Also, here is a tweet from Sasha, where she says, The white man will not be our equal, but be our slave.
These two things don't seem to line up very well.
No, there is some possible confusion between the messaging on these two, but that was what she put out.
That was actually the tweet that got her banned from Twitter, so there is that at least.
I do have to wonder though, Harry, if it was the other way around, if a white man had said the same about another race, do you think the constabulary would be knocking on their door?
But... It wasn't the case here, so she was able to say that on Twitter.
I think you might get the Jan 6 treatment if you tweeted something like this the opposite way around.
You have to remember that in the UK, we're not a free country like Russia, where they only arrest 400 people a year for things that they say on social media.
In this country, about 8,000 people a year are arrested for things that they say on social media.
Oh, we're being dunked on on our liberties by the Russians.
Yes. Yes. So, yes, she did not get the police knocking on the door for that tweet, but she did get suspended from Twitter, so I suppose there's that.
But it's not just white people that she had an issue with.
Here is a video of her being rather critical of one of the many black people who disagree with her stance, and so she resorts to calling them a coon, which I believe is not a term of endearment.
Let's have a look at this. Why do you think kneeling on a man's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds?
You just need to shut up, man.
You're angry some more and threatening you some more.
Yeah, angry and threatening you some more. I promise you, I don't threaten you, I promise you.
So come out there.
Come out there, let's live through the promise.
Come out there, let's live through the promise.
Come out there, we'll live through the promise. I can promise you now.
Come out there, we'll live through it. You're a c***.
Dude, what? What do you mean?
Because I'm a girl, you think I'm going to f*** you up?
Because I'm a girl. So, yes, a spirited discussion there.
So she was an equal opportunity when it came to dishing out some opprobrium at people, we shall say.
Again, an individual...
I didn't realise that she debated Dominique.
Yes, Dominique, of course, a friend of the show, sat in this chair many times.
They got together on a podcast, and spoiler alert, they did not get on.
Let's have a look at this. Okay.
Okay, so now me.
So yes, just in case you didn't catch that, Dominique was making the argument that perhaps what we should want is good economic policy that benefits everybody, whereas Sasha was basically just saying, you know, I want reparations, I want to get paid.
She wants Gibbs. Yes, yes, that was essentially her position.
And Sasha, while not just arguing against white people in general and arguing against other black people who she disagreed with, She was also very careful to make sure that she was indoctrinating her children in the struggle.
This is her talking to her two boys and presumably two friends of her boys.
Black Power! I can't hear you.
Black Power! Black Power!
Black Power!
Black Power! Black Power!
Black Power! Black Power!
My son, what did you say?
Freelung is a must! Every hour!
They can't hold hoot! Can't hold your mother.
Listen. Every hour.
Every hour. Tell you not that now.
I have more goals than most of you men out here.
No, I do. Tell them.
You do. Black is beautiful.
Black is beautiful. Yeah, so arguing with people on the streets, causing general disruption, making sure her kids were being brought into this philosophy of struggle.
I mean, I've got no personal issue with people being proud of their heritage and their background, but the Black Power movement is one that is explicitly violent.
Yeah, no, I mean, I agree, absolutely.
I mean, there is no reason to be ashamed of your heritage in any way.
Well, no, there isn't really, isn't there?
No, not really. That's perfectly fine.
But she was definitely a confrontation-orientated individual who took particular exception to white people.
But she was getting a lot of coverage on Sky News and BBC. This was a shocking incident that's left a young woman with very serious injuries.
Our thoughts are with the family of Sasha Johnson, who are being supported by specially trained officers.
We have a team of detectives who are working tirelessly to identify who is responsible for this shooting.
They're making good progress, but we need members of the public to come forward and help us.
From our enquiries so far we have established that Sasha had been as a party at a house on Consort Road in Peckham, early hours of Sunday morning.
Around 3am a group of four black men dressed in dark clothing entered the garden of the property and discharged a firearm and they left before police arrived.
We are aware of Sasha's involvement in the Black Lives Matter movement in the UK and understand the concern that this will cause some communities.
However, at this time we have no information that indicates that Sasha was the victim of a targeted attack.
So this is obviously very sad.
You know, Sasha was taken to hospital subsequently following this, and I'm sure she was given, you know, whatever care the doctors and nurses at the hospital could give.
But she remains in that condition on an ongoing basis.
So this is, of course, you know, a tragedy.
This is what she looks like now.
This is an article from the Oxford Mail.
Her injuries were quite extensive.
So, you know, that's her inner prime and the images that the family released.
There's a more detailed photo slightly further down.
It's all very distressing, so trigger warning to anybody who doesn't like distressing images.
So, unfortunately... I was just going to say, the sad thing is that if it's the people within that community who could, if they do know anything, come forward and give the information that could lead to the arrest of the people who did this, you're not helping anybody by not coming forward.
It may not be in vogue within that community to do so.
Well, this is precisely my point.
So, I mean, look, please, I don't want anyone to mistake the tone of this segment.
You know, this is a young woman with two children who may never leave that hospital bed because she was the victim of black on black violence that is sadly so prominent in Britain's most vibrant cities.
This is a genuine tragedy.
She fell into a hateful ideology.
Black Lives Matter received regime support at the time, very noticeably.
And it's slightly ironic given views, you know, Sasha's views on how power structures work.
But in the summer of 2020, Black Lives Matter did have full institutional backing, you know.
Politicians were kneeling.
Police were being very keen to be seen kneeling.
Corporations were changing their logos to black fists.
You had sports teams being outright ordered to kneel before they went onto the pitch and began their game.
Black Lives Matter did have, effectively, full institutional backing over that period.
And you bring up that she was kind of taken into this radical ideology that led to the views that she held and such.
But there are examples of black radicals that did end up, when given the chance later on in life, to turn themselves around and spread more positive messages.
I've got some, I think, Shelby Steele Is somebody who, back in the 1960s, was a black radical who later on in his life turned his life around and turned his mind around to become somebody.
Even Thomas Solwey brought him up.
He used to be a Marxist before he started working for the government and then realised, hold up, this doesn't work.
Yeah, and I mean, of course, there were many such examples of people who have been absorbed into the sort of hateful ideologies that Sasha had, and then have come around and spoken out against it.
And I think she would have been quite an elegant advocate had she had made that transition.
Which of course is probably now going to be denied of her.
She'll never have the chance. No, but this is the thing.
The regime, they pick a controversial issue like this and they use it to divide the population.
And in the summer of 2020, it was Black Lives Matter.
That was the thing that was being used to divide everybody and very effective it was in that case as well.
And of course, people who said things like all lives matter were demonised as being hateful.
A year later, it was now the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated.
That was the dividing line that the regime was pushing against people.
Fast forward another year, and it was between those good people who want to sexually mutilate children and have men in bikinis rub themselves up against children while singing at them, against those hateful people like us who think that is perhaps a bit iffy.
And then, of course, the current division that is being pushed on us is all those fine and decent people who demand that World War III should begin immediately, nuclear holocaust be damned, and those of us who think that perhaps peace and negotiation is worth being given a try.
What are you, some Putin apologist?
There were arguments there.
But actually, you know, the real aspect of this story is the story that isn't.
The reason why I've decided to cover it, you know, I'm covering this sort of resurrecting it more or less out of the blue, is because of the story that we're not telling.
Based on the timeline, about now, we should be getting headlines that read something like this.
Five British men jailed for the shooting of Sasha Johnson that left prominent BLM activist in critical condition.
We're not seeing those headlines.
Why are we not seeing those headlines?
Why is Sasha Johnson not back in the news around about now?
Well, the answer is because, as I hinted at earlier, the case is she was attending a house party.
Five young black men burst in, started firing guns.
There were 30 people present and not one of them apparently saw anything.
They just be like that sometimes.
Yeah, so basically the prosecution case had to be dropped against them.
So the police initially must have been able to get some information because they were arrested very shortly afterwards.
But when it came to building a case that would stand up in court, the people at that party realised that they didn't know anything.
And apparently no one else in the region, none of our other friends, nobody actually knew anything, it turns out.
And so the prosecution case was dropped and these five guys have been formally declared not guilty.
Brilliant. Just the system at work right there.
Well, you know, and look, I've got to ask the question, what on earth is going on here?
Is this normal?
And I'm going to quite a bit from the Sunday Telegraph, who had a look at this, because what the Sunday Telegraph did is they did an investigation.
They did a Freedom of Information request of the Metropolitan Police looking at the effect of race on crime.
And they discovered that the majority of violent crimes in our cities like London were perpetrated by young black men.
They realised that 54% of street crimes were committed by young black men and 58% of robberies and 67% of gun crime.
The Sunday Telegraph article goes on to explain that even though black men are arrested at a significantly higher rate proportionally, the charge rate, the following conviction rate is actually quite low.
Now, Simon Woolley of the Sunday Telegraph, he points out that he thinks that this is because it illustrates unfairness in the system.
Well, perhaps, Simon, it is unfairness in the system.
Perhaps it is because of exactly what we've highlighted in this case, is that suddenly people experience amnesia.
When it comes to identifying the sort of criminal element within the community.
And that is the thing that is sort of blighting us here.
Further, when looking into this, I then went and looked at a Harvard paper on policing perspectives because I wanted to find out what the fashionable take on this is.
Now, they looked at it and they said that black-on-black violence has been criticised for perpetuating the racial stereotype of violent black people.
And that was why it is something that we should not talk about.
They said that black-on-black crime is inaccurate and vague and generally offensive.
So, who's it more generally offensive to?
The general public or the actual victims of these crimes?
Well, you know, that is precisely the issue here.
So, I guess that's it.
Sorry, Sasha. At the end of the day, she had kids.
She had kids that are going to grow up without a mother.
When we talk in the previous segment about children being killed, and it seems that more of them are black children than white children, those kids have got mothers.
Those kids have got mothers who are going to be absolutely devastated by what happens.
And who knows what Sasha could be advocating with the benefit of further experience and hindsight.
So, look, sorry, Sasha, I've picked up your story, but I don't think anyone else will be doing it for a long time.
You know, it is difficult to know what you think as you lie there in hospital communicating at best with a sort of a nod or sort of a blink at your loved ones.
And I'm sorry that we're not supposed to talk about your case because unfortunately what your case illustrates is that there is a vast yawning difference between the narrative Thank you.
And the unfortunate facts of cities like London that show that actually black on black violence is a significant problem.
And it's simply not being talked about.
Black on white violence, that is getting talked about at the moment, because Scott Adams has started pushing on that.
Scott Adams has suddenly become a meme that I've seen posted on many Twitter posts.
Yeah, so we are talking about that, and look, as significant as black on white violence is, it does pale into significance compared to black on black violence.
That is a real epidemic in our city, and nobody wants to talk about it.
We're just all supposed to shut up about it.
So, Sasha, you get this story, and I don't know when someone will next think to cover this situation, and I hope that you make a full recovery.
And when you wake up, that you get to live a normal life and possibly renounce your previous views and confront the main problem.
But I suspect that that's not going to happen.
Unfortunately, I suspect that you're going to be forgotten, because the people that did this to you do not look like the sort of people that you were warning us about.
And overall, Sasha, I'm sorry that we're part of a culture that isn't brave enough to confront these hard conversations.
And in the end, it's not for the reasons that you thought.
Although when you said, no justice, no peace, it turned out that that is exactly what's happened here.
There has been no justice and you have no peace now.
I want to give the final word on this topic to Sasha herself.
And I'm going to do that via the medium of a rather good YouTube channel that I found, House of Macora.
That's a small channel. It's just got 321 subscribers.
And that produced, several months back, a documentary that inspired my thinking around this, which is a three-part documentary, The Sad Case of Sasha Johnson.
So that's worth checking out if you want to.
I'm just going to pull out one small section from that video, which is Sasha's own perspective on people who fall victim to crimes in the groups that they advocate for.
So, final word to Sasha here.
A couple of months before the attack, Sasha did an interview with a YouTuber.
And at some point, the interviewer talked about a black man who had a very positive opinion on the police, who later ended up being killed by the same police he was defending.
And what Sasha said is very interesting because some people feel the same way about her attack.
Have you seen the case of Jonathan Price here in America?
Have you seen that case? No, I haven't.
I've been...
Well, you know, what ended up happening to this, you know, black man is that he was killed by the police recently.
Well, a few months ago, when we were starting to turn up for George Floyd over here, you know, he was one of the same black people that was saying, what's y'all doing out there?
You're making me sick and making everything about race.
Then he started talking about some white folks raised him and fed him a lot of food, and he had these addictions to these white females, and all this stuff.
He's talking about how great the police were, and the same police that he thought they were so great, killing us behind.
Just earlier this month. Now, I don't want to see nobody lose their life, but see, that's what we're dealing with.
I needed to go. You say what?
He needed to go. He needed the same people he worship, the same people he wants his merits from.
They're the same people who took him out.
It showed him, in the end, who they are.
So it took him to that point to see who they are.
That's why we're saying to our brothers and sisters, wake up now.
Okay, some comments. I don't think I need to add anything to that.
Nothing you can add to that.
No, that's Sasha's own view on the subject, so I'm going to leave that with her.
Alright, let's get on to the video comments, shall we?
Alright, we're going to do another California native flower, this time in my garden.
We're going to do the Numphilia menciezi, which is known as the baby blue eyes for a quite obvious reason.
It looks like a blue eye, and it's this stunning, stunning blue color.
Nothing too much to say about it, except that it's really spectacular and a very easy one to grow in your garden.
So if you have access or can find seeds, just go nuts.
Not now, do it next season, but definitely highly suggested.
That was very nice. Very pleasant.
Not a horticulturalist myself, but I'm sure they are.
I mean, they look lovely. Neither am I, so I can only speak as a layperson.
They look real nice.
Thank you. Greetings here from Denmark.
I'm just out walking in the snow in March.
I think global warming broke.
Thank you for that update from Denmark, Sophie.
Oh dear, not these.
I think Callum's preparing something on this.
But let's see this next one, shall we?
Um, I think, like, the biggest, like, I think, like, the biggest thing that, like, annoys me in, like, the whole dating world is, like, have you ever had a dream that, that you, um, you had, you, you, you could, you, and it's just, like, you're, like, labeled that, and it's, like, people, like, are considered, like, you can't, like, you're just, like, confused, and, like,
It's just like just like that like it's never like like it's always just like little like spontaneous like come over it's never like I think it's like so true like I feel like all like girls agree with this like because it's like he doesn't know what he wants like that's like like so like true like I feel like like I don't know I literally like hate that like so much You want him to do you so much you could do anything?
Very good, Mr.
Wright. Very good. That was great.
Sadly, and I went to university between 2016 and 2019, the amount of people that stood up in front of a class of their peers to say something to the lecturer who spoke exactly like that woman...
It was awful.
I used to pass the time by counting how many likes that they threw in in between every word.
And it would be between every single word as well.
There's something terribly wrong with the British education system if that's how we're coming out communicating now.
Obviously that was America, but...
Written comments. Lord Nova on CovidCope says, I was actually given that question about lockdowns on a YouGov survey the other day.
Oh, OK. But it came up the day after the results had already been published.
Could it be that YouGov are actually fabricating their results to some extent?
Well, possibly.
Yes, they are. Yes, I couldn't agree more.
Yes, they do. Yes, quite true.
Matt says, I was worried when it was all this obscure things going on with China and mass graves and hazmat suits, which we now know was BS as soon as it got here, and people who got it were fine, and it's clear that they were hardly dealing with Spanish Flu 2.0.
Interestingly, Spanish Flu is still around.
It's just one of the regular variants of flu that we get every year.
Very interesting. I remember very early on when everybody went, Spanish Flu!
I looked into the figures and I was like...
Within half a year, I think it was, Spanish flu had managed to kill more people than COVID supposedly has.
But what happens with these viruses is they mutate to become more infectious and less deadly as time goes by.
And Spanish flu is still with us and it's much less deadly because it's just one of the regular winter flus now and nobody bats an eyelid at it.
Yeah. Well, we best watch out, though, because we might have the new variant of, what is it, XBB.15 coming through?
Nice catchy title. Nice of them to even try.
The letter M says, where can I find more about the vaccine-cancer potential connection?
I'm intrigued. Yeah, wouldn't we all like to know more about that?
I only know it personally because I've met somebody who got that side effect, so I wouldn't be able to say that there's any...
I would imagine Dr...
Malone? Yes, yes.
Perhaps Malone and McCullough.
Yes, yes. They sound like the sort of people that would be on top of that.
Screwtape Laser says, most of the people I see still wearing masks in the States are teenagers.
That group is supposed to rebel and force social change being reduced to a pack of horn monitors.
Yes, it's either sort of boomers or teenagers, I've tended to notice.
That tends to be the prominent theme amongst people who are still wearing masks.
Alpha of the Betas says, Yeah, that's one of the points I highlighted.
Yeah, I mean, it could be, but it's a really bad way of doing it, isn't it?
Because basically they're proving that nobody should have this power as opposed to even more far-removed people.
So I think it's a twisted way of doing it.
I simply think it is easy as...
The Telegraph want to drop somebody in it.
Matt Hancock is the sort of person that nobody is going to defend at this point.
And the Telegraph get to keep their direct lines to government ministers who would otherwise cut them off if they went after all of them.
I think also it's important to point out that the vast majority of people, as demonstrated by those memes that we did of the crowd and the one person saying, I think you're wrong, I think the vast majority of people, one, don't know about the WHO pandemic treaty and what's going on with that.
And if most people did know about that, I think lots of people would just go, what's the problem with that?
Who just has my best interests in mind?
So many people would.
Yes. And then, finally, Mr.
Ward says, There's a massive irony in any of the jab pushers calling anyone else a Covidiot.
I suppose the Tories were closer to co-spiriters, since it was malice rather than stupidity.
Yes, I agree with that. If only we could vaccinate politics against, in this word I probably can't...
The C-nut. Yes, variants of politician, then we would have a much stronger and happier society, financially, society and immunologically.
Right, yes, happy with that. John Stewart.
Yes, let's go through the Jon Stewart comments.
So, Razcek was right, says, Ah, yes, just because guns can be turned on kids, that's the most dangerous thing to children.
No, I reject that framing.
Just because Coca-Cola doesn't kill children until after they've aged up 20 years before their addiction and heart disease finally does them in doesn't mean guns are more dangerous to public safety.
Jon Stewart has fallen for the illusion of safety a slow creeping danger uses to mask itself.
There's always a good point that there are plenty of things that are far more deadly to children, generally speaking, than their dad owning a gun.
But at the same time...
Their parents being able to defend them if they need to.
At the same time, that's never been what Jon Stewart cares about.
Jon Stewart cares about repealing the rights of average Americans so that he, as part of the privileged class, is able to exert more power.
Because he's just a mouthpiece of the regime.
And I don't think he cares about anything other than that which keeps him in a nice, cosy mansion with a lot of money to get himself to sleep at night.
Baron von Warhawk says, When it comes to the lack of investment in these neighbourhoods, it's hard to find wealthy individuals to invest in these communities when any time there is trouble, the entire neighbourhood gets burned to the ground.
No, I certainly wouldn't.
And this is... Thomas Sowell again brings up this point constantly, which is that it's just more costly to invest, even just on the day-to-day insurance.
And then if you do invest, as happened with the LA riots in the Korean neighbourhoods, because of the just general increased operating costs of running in those neighbourhoods, you end up having to charge more, and then the people living in those neighbourhoods build resentment for you, and when something does explode, you're the first person they come to.
Oh yeah, daily groceries are more expensive in the more blacker and democratic areas of America because the costs of operating are so high.
Exactly, yeah. Eric Nickerson says, Does anyone remember when Avi Yamini was interviewed by Jim Jefferies and secretly recorded it and proved with the side-by-side video evidence how JJ's show deceptively cut the interview to make Avi seem like a supporter of the Christchurch shooter?
Yeah, always record your own interactions with leftists.
That's always an excellent point there.
Yeah, Tommy Robinson did that a lot as well, and he exposed the BBC on several occasions for deceptive editing.
Good for him. I think possibly Count Dankula did that as well, because the BBC did a documentary on Count Dankula where they said we were going to be nice and even-handed and fair to you, and Dank was immediately like, no you're not, and made sure to bring his own cameraman with him.
Yeah, it's very sensible. Arizona desert rat.
Police being sent into high crime neighbourhoods is what used to be done, but it's not done as much due to the privileged academics blaming crime on over-policing.
That's true, but remember, the privileged academics wouldn't be able to have any influence at all if it weren't for the elected officials enforcing their stupid ideas in the first place.
Sir Olmy, what's Jon Stewart's opinion of this?
Said no one looking into any serious issue ever.
Good point. Matt P, black people keep killing black people in urban areas with illegal guns, therefore we must take every law-abiding person's gun away across the country and this will solve the problem.
That's certainly the thinking. That is leftist logic, in a nutshell.
Lord Nerevar says, John Stewart seems to be like an American Jeremy Vine to me, except replace cyclist fundamentalism.
Jeremy Vine had another twatty tweet this morning of his little stupid camera that he keeps on his helmet.
I used to be neutral on cyclists.
I didn't have an opinion on them.
But after seeing Jeremy Vine's tweets, I've now decided that cyclists must be abolished.
Send them to France. Sorry, just get rid of them.
Can I be made an exception?
I've started cycling to work, but I always make sure to either cycle purely on cycle lanes or on the pavements when I'm not getting in anybody's way.
And if I am getting in anybody's way, I just do the polite thing and get off my bike and walk past them.
Well, I suppose that's better.
I'll be the exception.
We can get Schmittian with this.
I can be the exception.
But yeah, replace the cyclist's fundamentalism with anti-gun jihadism, just whining constantly about something nobody agrees with him on, and then occasionally throws his toys out of the pram.
Shameful. Well, somebody must agree with him on it, because otherwise he wouldn't have a television show, sadly.
Yes. Shaker Silver says, John is right that the right to gun ownership has responsibilities.
Absolutely. However, those responsibilities fall onto the gun owner to protect those around them, not the state to protect you from yourself.
Same with speech. The government doesn't have the right to protect you from things that you don't like to hear.
But it's very much a city thing, isn't it?
Because, I mean, if you're living in a city, you know, the police can be there in sort of, you know, 15 minutes.
So you only have to sort of bleed for 15 minutes before, you know, somebody can turn up and have a look at you.
Whereas if you're in a rural community, you know, the nearest police might be several hours away.
Oh yes, of course. But, I mean, there's problems with the inner city deployment of police in the first place.
Because if we remember, going back to George Floyd again, the police had him while he was overdosing, and then the ambulance that could have got through to save him, and I remember Callum reporting on this very thoroughly when it all came to light.
The ambulance that could have come to save him was in fact blocked off by the angry black mob that had surrounded the police at that point and they had to park around the corner which delayed what could have been a life-saving treatment for the fact that he was overdosing on fentanyl.
Right. Well, meth-laced fentanyl to be more precise.
Yes, that's not helpful. No.
No. XY and Z says, if there's one lesson we can take away from Milo, here's another one, is that we should record any and all interviews one gives to these snakes, then release one's own recording to show the BS editing.
Yes, absolutely. Alpha of the Betas, responding to Jon Stewart, I watch Jon Stewart every day for the entire noughties.
In hindsight, his righteous indignation is a sanctimonious shtick, entirely propped up with straw man arguments and deceptively edited interviews.
Whenever he was called out on it, he'd fall back to his safe space of I'm a comedian.
Yes, and this is what I'm talking about.
This is why whenever I see a clip of him back in the day, he doesn't seem any different than he is now.
It just seems that people didn't notice and that he wasn't able to be quite as blatant.
Because when you're just complaining about, oh, George Bush stupid, Iraq war bad, I think that's a pretty bipartisan position to take.
But when all of a sudden he starts coming out with episodes of his podcast talking about the problem of white people, that's when it becomes a little bit more obvious.
To the trained eye. Harder to stay on board with the narrative at that point, yes.
Yeah, Arizona Desert Rat again says, hmm, I'm pretty sure vehicle accidents are ahead of gun deaths, especially when you remove gun suicides and gang-related shootouts.
Yeah, I wondered how they got around that.
I think it was the fact that they were including suicides in it, because if you looked into it, only about two-thirds of the statistics had to do with actual homicide and weren't suicide.
Yes, because if you were going to go out at your own hand, you'd probably want a gun, wouldn't you?
So what would that be?
It was about 4,300, say take one third out of that maybe, like, just under 3,000 deaths due to homicide, which would probably take it underneath the vehicle rates.
Anyway, George Happ.
John Stewart, or more accurately, Leibowitz, was the archetype for the late night comedian political commentator.
Whenever they say something wrong or antagonizing, they just go back to, it's just a joke.
Nothing they say is of value, but they are there to make the SJW audience feel good.
Let's get on to Sasha Donson.
Yes, Lord Nerovar says, as harsh as it may seem, I'm having trouble feeling any sympathy for Sasha Johnson.
Well, you must try harder, Lord Nerovar.
I don't want anyone to be left in her state, of course.
However, I'm going to express my sorrow in the case of a racial supremacist who hung out with criminals and degenerates being subject to the same treatment she would bring on her opposition, meaning us, essentially.
And even who she would consider her own brothers if that last clip is anything to go by.
Well, yes, yes.
Her own words are sort of unfortunately condemning in that respect.
My sympathy lies with the family, friends, and especially with children who have to go through life without their mum now.
I hate this story, but appreciate you chaps telling it nonetheless.
Well, thank you, Lord Nova. Yes.
Very true.
Yes. No justice, no peace.
I mean, that was what she always said, and that was exactly what she got in the end.
The situation was... Once again, we got that in the LA riots in 1992, and what did that lead to?
That led to just random truck drivers being pulled out and beat to death in the middle of the street.
Yeah, but I mean, you know, that poor sod wasn't advocating for it, so...
XYZ says, Well, she kind of did in that May last video, didn't she?
Mr. Awards says, Sasha's kids were probably destined to grow up without a father figure.
Yes, the father is never mentioned in any of this.
I don't even know if it's the same father. Shockingly absent.
Yeah, I don't know why that is.
I don't know if that's also a problem in the community.
I'd argue that they don't have a mother figure either.
She was probably as bad for her kids as any of the white mothers taking their toddlers out to drag shows or pedo story time.
Yes, it is a collection there.
George Happ says I have no sympathy for the likes of Sasha Johnson she joined with a hate mob against white people so a certain Joker quote comes to mind not getting a huge amount of sympathy in the comments so far maybe I'm not entirely shocked, I'll be perfectly honest.
Well, let's have a try with So All Me and see if we get some sympathy here.
Regarding the image of Sasha Johnson in the hospital bed, the indentation of skull looks worse than it is, as it's common practice to remove part of the skull covering any damaged brain tissue.
As a result, it looks like a huge part of the brain is missing, which may not actually be the case.
Well, we can only hope.
That's very interesting. Yeah, I didn't know that.
And Mr.
Waterbottle says, No, no, no, no, no, we can't be having that.
It's an absolute tragedy.
Yeah, very, very sad. I mean, you could put more feeling into it, Dan.
Come on. I could.
At least a single tier.
Come on. Anyway.
No, yeah, maybe. Kevin Fox, in the Honorable Mentions, says that Drag Queen Story Hour is not killing kids, at least not immediately.
However, it does sow the seeds of gender confusion in kids, which leaves them...
As they grow older, to doubt their own gender, and that leads frequently to teen suicides, also equating guns to drag queens.
That's sad, man. If somebody breaks into my house to rob me, kill me, harm my family, I'd rather have a Glock 32 than some middle-aged nonce in a frock and too much makeup to defend my home.
I don't know. I've seen some...
They can be pretty violent in some of the videos that I've seen.
When confronted with the reality of being a middle-aged nonce...
No, it was Don't Call Me Man.
I'm ma'am! It's ma'am!
That's what it was. If you could have both, you could use one as a sort of cover, couldn't you?
You know, I think it was Lauren Chen looked a bit deeper into that person's background.
Maybe Lauren Chen, Lauren Southern or something.
Somebody looked into it.
And it came back with...
He's got some rather sus...
Social media posts about his relationship with his child, shall we say.
Which isn't entirely surprising.
And General Hai Ping, Chinese Internet Battalion, says once again, thank you for the PlayStation 2, I am going to start playing Silent Hill 2 eventually, and then do a video on it.
Did he send you a PlayStation 2?
Yes. Well, he sent the office a PlayStation 2, but I claimed it.
Off topic, but since Harry has proclaimed himself the Lotus Eater's Kingo cringe, may I please make a special request?
Please watch Milf Manor.
It's pure degenerate garbage, but it highlights so much of what is wrong with the interactions between men and women.
Honestly, you'll be rolling in the aisles, and I think it'll make a really funny but informative video for the site.
I'm not necessarily sure that's the sort of thing you want to be typing into Google.
I mean, maybe. No, you'll forgive me if that's not going to get to the top of my priorities list there, but thank you for the suggestion anyway, General Hyping.
I think I'll be sooner getting onto Silent Hill 2.
But I think that's all we've got time for.
Thank you very, very much for watching.
We'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock again.
So until then, take care.
