	Hello and welcome to the podcast The Lotus Eaters for the 6th of April 2023.
	I'm joined by Peel McAvena from Hotsmoke.
	Will you say hello?
	Hello.
	There we are.
	Good to be back.
	Today we'll be talking about how Disney learns wokeism doesn't pay, a march, a death march towards AI, and modernization, which is, I just want to whine about.
	I'm going to be taking some terms, if nothing else.
	But otherwise, we shall just mention something first, which is on the website at 3.30 tomorrow, there'll be another hangout.
	That's one about the Zuma question with Harry and Rory, which, um, don't know how they're going to solve the Zuma question.
	Might be something to... No, no, no jokes.
	All right.
	Let's go to the Disney stuff instead.
	So Disney has learned that wokeism doesn't pay.
	At least, this is my viewing after joining in on the shareholder livestream that they did as a company.
	And they spent the first half being like, oh, isn't Disney great?
	We've got all this content.
	Look, we're doing great.
	And then the shareholders joined in the Q&A section were like, why are you wasting all my money on woke leftist crap?
	So I thought we'd enjoy it.
	So we'll start off just by mentioning something on the website, being the Ethical Companies podcast.
	This is a Collectivist Ends Without Collectivist Means.
	You know stakeholder capitalism?
	You know that term?
	I don't know, we abandoned the idea that you should make money for your shareholders and instead we're like, yeah, but what about global warming in South Asia?
	I'm a bakery in Swindon.
	But okay.
	Go and check that out.
	It's the reason as to why all these companies are... It's the justification, not the reason.
	It's the justification they use for why they do all this crap.
	We'll start off with Dylan Mulvaney.
	Because, uh... Can't get away from him, apparently.
	This blew up, of course, because he got Bud Light sponsorship.
	You know?
	Because all the drinkers of Bud Light are gay men.
	I think that's how we're going to view it in the future, at least.
	We are.
	And then there's the other disturbing one, the one in the bath, which I particularly found disturbing.
	I didn't get what that was to do with beer at all.
	Well I mean beer commercials are usually like women, drunk, fast cars.
	Yes.
	Now it's become transgender.
	We'll get the next one here because of course Olly London pointed out that the dude is getting paid tens of thousands of dollars from literally everyone.
	He's got a big list there.
	Tampax.
	Because why not?
	and everyone else for some reason and uh the last one here just being just he has literally every promo known to man i mean there's svenka vodka we're not svenska but okay walmart um sure uh mac apparently rent the runway what's rent the runway i don't know probably some high heel brand or something point being dude's got every Corporate American sponsorship under the sun.
	In which case, I mean, there have been a couple of responses to that I've seen.
	Lauren Southern correctly observed that, well, I think the right have lost the culture war in regards to corporate America.
	I was like, yep, yeah, I think you're right, Lauren.
	That's damn true.
	And Matt Walsh responded by basically observing the same thing.
	and then came to the conclusion of hang on a minute if you actually want to fight this from a guerrilla warfare perspective because that's where you're at you need to pick up on what left it which is you need to because the conservatives will get mad at all these brands and try and boycott everything and good luck obviously but he's like well no when you know if you want to change this you've got to pick one scalp really scalp it and then move on to the next company company by company because that's how they fell in line to doing what they're doing now if you want to reverse that trend Yeah, but I think it's because the right have been so confused.
	They're like a rabbit in a headlight.
	They don't know how to respond.
	They're called names.
	They're worried about that.
	And it's not as if the left have so much more money than the right.
	There are those on the right who have the finance who can push back on this.
	But it's just utter fear, I guess, of being cancelled.
	And because the left are so confident in the BS, then I guess the right don't know how to push back on that.
	Well, it was the way Twitter was owned, I think.
	You remember the early days when the idea of a Twitter mob was weird and new.
	And it would go after some company and the company would bend the knee.
	And everyone would be like, why would you do that?
	They're just Twitter weirdos.
	What's wrong with you?
	Well, Twitter's got some new owners.
	So, time to have some fun, I think.
	One company that's not having fun is Disney.
	And this is where I point to Matt and just say, You want a single target?
	I think we've already got it, folks.
	And there's actually some results here as well, which is why I mentioned the stockholder Zoom call they had.
	So this is the stock price for Disney, as you can see, used to peak about $200, now down to about $100.
	Not going great.
	This is obviously similar for a lot of companies in the tech industry and entertainment, because COVID and all that.
	And yeah, there's some truth to this.
	Definitely is.
	It's similar, but it's against the confusion of why the company exists.
	Does it exist to give wholesome entertainment for kids?
	Or is it about a certain agenda?
	It's about making money.
	Well, yeah, it used to be.
	It used to be at one point.
	It's like, what if we make money?
	Yeah, that's pretty good.
	I like money.
	Do you like money?
	But the danger is a lot of parents will still sign up, will still subscribe, will still want to because they remember what Disney was like, which is wholesome entertainment.
	And I know whenever you even engage with parents, they're just, they can't even comprehend that Disney would be bad because it's beautiful.
	It's pure.
	Well, that may have been the case but there's been a hell of a wake-up and I can prove it.
	And this is the scalp I think conservatives should keep battering until Disney starts pumping out pro-masculinity propaganda again.
	Not even pro-masculinity, just normal stuff instead of like one of my queer older characters for no reason.
	Stop.
	Get some help.
	Produce entertaining content again.
	And that's the point at which you stop boycotting.
	That's the way you solve that.
	But we're good.
	But wasn't it one of the board had a trans child and then they were one of the ones behind it, so on each Disney film production they wanted to bring these specific agendas in.
	Internal infiltration for sure.
	Yes, but I'm glad it is the shareholders that are complaining about it, who are raising this issue.
	Yeah.
	Because we'll go to the news about COVID real quick, which is just like, as you can see here, this is from 2020.
	Disney lost $1.4 billion due to coronavirus last quarter.
	It's going well.
	They mentioned a 91% drop in income during the lockdowns.
	To be fair, that was pretty normal for every major company during that period, but yeah, it wasn't great.
	They had to let go of 30,000 employees.
	But then, as we all remember, money printer went burr, and stock market continued.
	Every company was losing all of its money, and yet their stock price was going up.
	Which was a hell of a time to be alive.
	I mean, I made some money actually trading Weatherspoon shares during that.
	I remember talking about that with you.
	They were just bleeding money, but the stock kept going up.
	I was like, all right, I'm in.
	All right, I'm out.
	That was 100 quid.
	Thanks.
	See ya.
	But until late 2021, when all the tech boom completely crashed for all the big tech companies, but also the entertainment companies, because you may remember Disney Plus, or at least you may know Disney Plus.
	They tried that.
	You scrapped Disney, but I never did.
	I might have scrapped Nonstlex.
	No.
	No point.
	Look, they obviously saw Netflix running away with something and thought, we don't want to be late to the game.
	And I guess the amount of money you have to put in, because you want exclusive content, and they were arguing, we get this exclusive content, we're paying a ton for it.
	And obviously they're nowhere near making any profits on any of it.
	Because if you go to the next link, we can see that, which is Disney Plus being a thing and user statistics.
	If you scroll down on this, there should be some graphs at some point that shows them, like, compared to Netflix, as in, like, the growth rate and the number of subscribers.
	It's not that one, it's the one that shows two lines, one red and one not red.
	And the point being that, obviously, they wanted that to become the new thing.
	Bubble burst, because no one's locked in their homes anymore, so no one has to be obsessed with your streaming service.
	And they've jumped on as Netflix subscribers are pulling away.
	Yeah.
	It's like the most stupid time, but...
	This is the weird thing about that graph because I mean the big thing for Netflix is it just wasn't growing and investors want growth so of course that's why their stock price completely collapsed.
	As you can see Disney Plus is still growing but it's not good enough.
	I mean, even there, what is that, like 160 million people are paying 7 bucks a month to Disney?
	I mean, just number one, don't.
	Don't pay non-flicks either.
	You can get that stuff through other legal means.
	But anyway, we'll go to the data, because the LA Times had a thing on this.
	Disney Plus keeps growing fast, but the streaming service is still losing 1.5 billion dollars.
	That's a quarter, I think.
	Which, okay, well you gotta spend money to build a platform and then make money.
	That's the strategy, right?
	But the thing is, on the Zoom call, we'll get to it in a bit, someone actually mentions in there, well, how many people in America are actually able to pay for a streaming service, never mind our streaming service, on top of Netflix?
	And, well, it's a capped market.
	Disney Plus needs to make another 200 million users.
	Another 200 million people need to be paying them.
	Seven bucks a month.
	Because people are locked into, really, Netflix.
	And then if people want to get their stuff next day, then it's Amazon.
	So you pay for that.
	So they have to offer something extra to be kind of the third one.
	So, yeah, I mean, strange business strategy.
	Like, yeah, we're going to absorb 160 million people and then a whole Netflix on top of that.
	And then we'll break even.
	And then we'll make money.
	It's like, okay, good luck.
	Good luck with that one.
	1.5 billion, that is beautiful.
	That is.
	Sorry, just enjoying that.
	I'd love to see it.
	And you've got to do that without everyone being locked in their homes.
	And then you've got ESPN plus and everything else.
	I think it was a Comcast or Peacock or whatever.
	Crap and I think a knowledge hub did a very good video just talking about why the uh, this whole streaming wars is retarded And no one's gonna win that because why would you it's just a terrible model, right?
	Once it's not just one streaming service, but you've got to pay for 10, right?
	You might as well just not bother because now you're paying 8 bucks to 10 different groups But we're going to the next one here because yeah, there's some other dealings Russia was one of them the disney did You can see here in 2022, they decided they would pause all operations in Russia indefinitely.
	But can Russia not?
	But surely if they want to indoctrinate, they want to indoctrinate the Russians.
	You would have thought.
	Instead, they also, like I mentioned many a time, if you go to Russia right now, McDonald's isn't there.
	Burger King is.
	If you want to sit there and tell me McDonald's deeply cares about the moral reasons I'm not going to listen, because this is just not true.
	Nobody cares about the deep moral... No.
	Come on.
	I mean, Walt Disney here have also pulled out, and I'm sure for moral reasons, they swear.
	Except, well, if you go to the next link, we can see the company changed a bit.
	As you can see here, Disney workers walk out over Don't Say Gay Bill.
	This is last year.
	And then the company got in big, big trouble because they were like, oh, I don't know, maybe teaching elementary school kids about anal sex is a bit not really Disney brand.
	Guys, can we not do this?
	And all the leftist workers they hired were like, no.
	That's why I came to work for you.
	To promote that we go to elementary school kids and be like, yes.
	So this is how anal sex works.
	Weird thing to do with your life.
	I would have thought.
	But if you hire leftists, that's what you're gonna end up with as workers.
	I don't know how they can find Disney workers in Florida.
	That's what worries me.
	Well, we'll get back to some of those workers.
	We've got the next one here.
	I mean, they actually completely screwed themselves because they ended up not wanting to promote that, but then ended up promoting it anyway.
	Apparently, internally, there was a big discussion about, oh, I really don't want to go down this route.
	But then, you know, we hired all these people and this is the direction we're going.
	So they did eventually put out a statement being like, we disagree with the bill that's trying to stop leftists from indoctrinating schoolchildren.
	So, of course, now everyone hates them.
	And rightfully so.
	I remember back in April 2022, I was in LA and there was a huge demonstration outside their headquarters there, just parents furious.
	And there were maybe 1,000, 1,500 parents.
	I think that was the first time I realised there is a bit of a backlash against what's happening.
	It is coming from parents because they're worried about the impact on children.
	And that just has to grow on this.
	Not to mention when you start talking about how we kind of love groomers, you end up with some scrutiny about your employees.
	If you go to the next link here, there was a lot of scrutiny immediately after that bill, you may remember, which everyone was like, hmm.
	Kind of a lot of pedophiles at work at Disney for some reason.
	But yeah, there's a lot of safeguarding that should be involved here and you don't seem to be doing your best, at least.
	You see the sheriff there, 124 people arrested.
	Human trafficking ring.
	Disney security guard is one of them.
	Yep, she was up there, that was an interesting one.
	And then there's just article after article after article.
	What kind of shoe was that?
	So, yeah, not a good time to be a Disney shareholder when that happens.
	But if you go to the next one as well, I mean, then the retarded leftists who work at Disney just joined live streams that were publicly viewable talking about, quote, my not-at-all-secret gay agenda that I insert into everything I build, such as queering characters for no reason.
	You know, I think the public would know, someone like, why are random characters just becoming gay in these remakes for no reason?
	Well, I mean, she is partly responsible, she says.
	I don't know why we're taking her word for her actions.
	That's mad, but she said it live on a Disney stream.
	And I think she's in charge of like, what is it?
	I can't remember which department she was in charge of or whatever, but she was high enough that she was invited to like the CEO meeting.
	As you can see, Chris Rufo reporting there.
	But I wonder, is it actually parents getting on the shareholder?
	Because again, you see the school board meeting, you see parents getting involved, pushing back and actually changing stuff.
	And I don't know where it's possible to actually change it on the shareholder level at Disney.
	Well, we'll see.
	Because if you get the next one, they also decided to prove that they had nothing to do with nonsense, because Desney were like, hang on, okay.
	We're getting some calls about this from the shareholders.
	So, um, what we're going to do is we're going to team up with a group that sang a song called, We're Grooming Your Children.
	Bugger!
	Yeah, as you see, they teamed up with the San Francisco LGBT Choir for a family-friendly Pride concert.
	So the same group that sang the We're Coming For Your Children song, although a few of their members turned out to be convicted paedophiles.
	How do you have a family-friendly Pride concert?
	I don't know.
	I missed that one.
	Yeah, I don't think you can.
	I think it's smoke and mirrors or something else.
	But whilst up to all of this, which didn't go well with people who hold stock in Disney and were like, why is my stock going down endlessly?
	Well, they also did the usual tonfoolery that Disney does, such as race swapping.
	See here, this is Beauty and the Beast, let's race swap her.
	Alright, go to the next one, Tinkerbell.
	Yeah, that needed a race swap.
	You know the problem with Tinkerbell?
	White.
	Okay, okay.
	Ariel, of course.
	Yeah, right, the race swap.
	The mermaid.
	Because... I mean, she's ginger as well.
	I mean, that's a real shift.
	I was gonna say, keep the ginger hair at least.
	Come on.
	Only if it goes one way as well.
	Not to mention throughout all this period in which the stock price kept crashing down to under $100.
	Well, also the Chinese stuff.
	You may remember they do the typical Chinese thing of, um, remove the black guy, from the poster.
	You see that there?
	That's literally what they did.
	They were like, eh, that's not going to go down on the Chinese market, so, interesting.
	You may remember earlier when they, you might have thought they left Russia for more reasons.
	I don't have any morals, what are you playing at?
	This is a weird, weird world.
	You mean money talks?
	Maybe.
	Except when it comes to Western ideology, that's the important thing.
	Because then we go Rondo Sanchez, who came out and just went out of their tax status when he tried to, you know, ban them talking to elementary kids about anal sex.
	And Disney were like, that's all they exist for.
	And Ron was like, hmm, maybe you don't deserve a special tax status anymore.
	Maybe something's gone really wrong.
	There's also the news in here that the CCP owns 57% of Disney Shanghai.
	Apparently, they've got Disney World in China.
	And the CCP obviously owns the majority of it because you can't operate a business there without the CCP owning a majority of its business.
	So they can't actually even own their own park over there.
	So let's hold that question as well, because not only are you catering your movies for them, and your posters, your own Disney World isn't even owned by you.
	CCP owns it directly.
	So the idea that they don't have an unbelievable amount of leverage over Disney is obvious.
	But then it sounds the same in Florida.
	All credit to him for taking on probably one of the biggest employers in the state and going head on with them.
	And you can see in the next political article where he's just like, yeah, you guys need to go.
	And of course, the shareholder meeting happened.
	And all the headlines I saw from the media was the following one, as you can see from Market Watch, is just some aggregate.
	Disney CEO Bob Iger blasts DeSantis over anti-business retaliation.
	And it was like, oh my god, yeah, he's standing up to the corrupt politicians that were trying to keep big business down.
	Yeah, okay, whatever.
	I don't know who would believe in this.
	But that's the headline I saw.
	Now, the reality from the stockholder meeting was far more fun.
	And this is what I say to Matt Walsh, etc.
	You've got your target.
	You're on target.
	Just throw the missile in and blow up the Death Star.
	There's not much more to it.
	Because, well, as we'll see, they had a meeting and the desperate pleas from the shareholders was, The following.
	Please stop being China-loving scum.
	Stop being leftists.
	And stop trying to groom our kids.
	Thank you.
	We'll meet next year.
	Those are fair concerns I think.
	I thought it was an interesting thing to say.
	Because they seem to do like a Q&A session and also take proposals from the shareholders.
	So presumably there's like some voting about which proposals even get proposed, right?
	And the Q&As, I presume, selected randomly from whoever is just in the queue for shareholder call.
	So let's deal with the first one.
	This is a proposal scheme.
	So we'll hear the proposal from the proponent.
	The National World War II Museum is hosting an exhibit about how Walt Disney and his company supported the war effort.
	For example, the Disney Studio lot in Burbank was converted into a military base almost overnight after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
	Disney Studios immediately began work on training videos for topics like how to spot enemy planes.
	Demonstrating sacrifice, Walt's now-beloved classics of the early 1940s, like Pinocchio and Bambi, suffered early box office losses due to the war effort.
	Producing the training videos cheaply, Walt said, quote, I don't like this profit during war when people are out there giving up their lives, end quote.
	It's quite a contrast to today's Walt Disney Company.
	As we highlight in proposal number five, Disney has cozied up to the communist regime in China.
	According to the U.S.
	State Department, the dictatorship is guilty of slavery, forced organ harvesting, genocide, and many other human rights horrors.
	Rather than take the financial hit for principle like Walt did, instead the company thanked the Uyghur torturers in Xinjiang for letting Mulan be filmed in their province, for one example.
	Disney also capitulates to the Chinese government's every censorship demand in order to retain access to their market.
	And rather than enlist its artists against oppressive forces like Walt did, Disney instead infuses its cartoon features with mature adult themes that American parents don't want their kids exposed to.
	That led to two box office bombs for its top two animated theatrical releases last year.
	It's also what cost Disney its special tax district around its theme parks in Orlando.
	Upon his return at the end of last year, Mr. Iger said about the company's critical relationship with the state of Florida, quote, to the extent that I can work to kind of quiet things down, I'm going to do that, end quote.
	But instead we saw last week Mr. Iger escalate hostilities against the Sunshine State regarding the district.
	That's why Mr. Iger and this entire board that presided over last year's disaster cannot be trusted and should be opposed on your proxy balance.
	That's the first thing that was said.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You can hear though, I believe that's like the secretary or something and the CEO are all having to sit there and listen to this.
	As their own shareholders are like, you're useless, we can't trust you, you love China, you commie-loving red bastards, get lost!
	And they just have to sit there and be like, thank you for your call, so that'll be put to a vote.
	We'll find out the results soon.
	So I just, I love it.
	Was this stuff public or was it leaked, I wonder?
	This was publicly livestreamed.
	I don't know why Disney does this.
	Wow.
	Presumably they thought they just are perfect and no one would ever say anything wrong, but no.
	Even their own mad people who are like, I mean that in a good way, like fanatics for Disney, who love Disney, they got the cab, they got like a year pass so they can go wherever they want or something.
	And even they are calling out just being like, you need to go.
	Can't stand you.
	And it's not just that one guy, as we'll see, a whole bunch of other people who called out hate Disney.
	The defense from the Disney executives though, as to why they have to drown you kids, is that this is basically World War Two.
	This is the Holocaust, and if we're on the wrong side of history, we'll be on the wrong side of the Holocaust, won't we, folks?
	It's not very convincing.
	No.
	But we'll hear it anyway.
	My interest in Disney's corporate charitable contributions was sparked when Disney spoke out on two controversial issues, gay sex and abortion.
	The first concerned a proposed Florida law on when and how elementary students should be taught about gay relationships.
	The other issue is when Disney decided it would help some employees skirt valid laws in their estates if they wanted to get an abortion.
	Disney's positions were worse than wrong.
	They were stupid.
	They would have a material impact on only a small percentage of our employees while silencing any others.
	In addition, these policies could possibly alienate millions of our current and potential customers.
	As we have learned, virtue signaling has its cost.
	Regarding the last question brought up, I just disagree that Disney has an obligation to take political positions that are detrimental to the overall company.
	It's just pointless.
	I think if you look back, you know, for decades, corporate America has expressed themselves on numerous issues of both right and wrong.
	And our country, I think, is better off For that, and this was evident during the civil rights era, as I recall, as a child, when a lot of companies weighed in on injustices that they saw in America.
	It was certainly true during World War Two when those that stood in silence in some ways still weigh still carry the stain of indifference.
	So as long as I'm in the job, I'm going to continue to be guided by a sense of distance, decency and respect and trust our instincts that when we do weigh in, we weigh in because The issue is truly relevant to our business and to the people that work for us.
	Yeah, Ron DeSantis is basically Hitler.
	We gotta stand up.
	Otherwise, we'll be on the wrong side of history.
	He didn't mention making money as something that he'll be guided by.
	No.
	I wanna give you as well, like, the era of shareholders go down was under some other CEO.
	Like, this guy was the CEO, and then that guy took over and, you know, halved.
	So, they brought him back.
	Like, this is his first shareholder meeting back.
	And even then, he turns up and is like, well, you know, I care about money.
	Hello, Bob.
	I'd like to address what I view as the elephant in the room.
	Florida.
	Yeah, okay.
	It's not a pressure group.
	It's an entertainment organization.
	Used to be.
	I thought it was a company.
	This doesn't end.
	Some guy joins who's just my favorite who just turns out and is like, please stop for the love of God.
	Let's play him.
	Hello, Bob.
	I'd like to address what I view as the elephant in the room.
	Over the last few years, Disney has turned from a place of magic for children to an ideological company serving LGBTQIA+, however many other letters you want to add to that, lobbies to groom children, Over and over again, we see how your films and entertainment are increasingly promoting the woke agenda.
	How can you explain to parents worldwide that you recently celebrated 100 years of history by collaborating with the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus to produce an LGBTQIA+, themed Disney musical?
	This is a group who have explicitly stated That they want to indoctrinate children.
	They literally sang a concert and they sang the words, we will convert your children quietly and subtly and you will barely notice it.
	Disney chose to collaborate with these predators to sing to children.
	How can you explain to parents worldwide that over the next few months, dozens of highly sexualized gay pride parades will take place in Disneyland parks worldwide?
	The exact places where they used to take their children for fun.
	Are you surprised that Disney's audience has plummeted, losing 2.4 million subscribers in the last quarter?
	If you are really interested in refloating Disney, please turn Disney back to the apolitical fun place that it used to be, and I bet that you'll win back both the trust of families and the stock market.
	Thank you.
	Absolutely.
	And all these people have got their money invested.
	That's the thing.
	These are the guys who actually make your business exist through owning the shares.
	The fanatics of Disney are all sat there being like, please stop.
	The love of God.
	The leftism is killing the business.
	But as leftism is a cult, actually, there is no end.
	And it doesn't matter if they destroy themselves, they will somehow be happy with that, as we've seen in the Democrat-controlled states.
	States collapsing into oblivion, and they're happy with that because they're so ideologically caught up with this cult.
	It's absolutely true that those people who are in it are in it to the end and it doesn't sound like the new CEO is interested more.
	I mean, the share price might go to a dollar and then 4chan could buy it all up for a laugh, I guess, like they did with GameStop.
	Which is why I'm kind of up for the push they have for abortions, I think.
	Go for it.
	The Republican conservative states can stop them.
	You can have as many as you like and we'll see what happens at the end.
	But the thing being that, like, if you're a shareholder, like, the correct thing is just to boot the company.
	Like, coup it.
	And be like, no, no, no, now we make right-wing propaganda.
	That's what Disney World is about now.
	No more, oh, guys, let's take the kids to Disney World.
	I don't know.
	There's a lot of guys in dog costumes.
	Because it's Pride, for some reason.
	They're all walking on their hands and feet.
	I don't know if I want the kids being around there.
	Instead you're going to turn up and there's going to be, I don't know, a million cops checking if there's any Mexicans trying to enter or something.
	What's the left-wing fantasy of what right-wingers would do to the country, I guess?
	And even that is just like, eh, yeah, well, at least I can take my kids.
	I've talked to parents who've been to Disney parks and they've come back to me and they've kind of dropped in the conversation, oh yeah, there was a pride parade.
	I said, yeah, I've been talking to you about this for years.
	But then they saw it and thought, hmm, something doesn't fit here.
	Oh, my kids.
	Oh, quick, cover your eyes.
	And they suddenly got it because they saw it with their own eyes and thought, this doesn't fit with our understanding of what kids should actually be exposed to.
	Did they want to go back after that experience?
	They were debating because obviously, if you buy an annual ticket, I think, well, you're going to screw your child even more.
	Come on.
	Yeah.
	And that's the reality.
	And it's great to see.
	It's not nothingburger.
	It's not just internet people.
	No.
	People who are fanatics about Disney, not just random shareholders who own a few stocks or something.
	These guys are all going off about how they've been with the company for 13 years.
	They own all the merch.
	They go every summer or something to Disney World.
	Crazy about Disney.
	Own all the movies.
	Probably watch everything they make, right?
	And they're all sat there in this shareholders meeting a couple days ago just being like, Stop, please.
	I can't stand it.
	And it's great to see.
	But we'll end it off with something that I thought was very funny, which is the whole stream went on and on with these people calling up and like, I hate you.
	And then very organically, because I don't know how the phone calls are selected.
	The last phone call was some woman who just happened to call up and praise diversity.
	Like a priest.
	It was really weird.
	So we'll play that.
	This was the ending of the stream.
	Good morning from the comeback city of Detroit, Michigan.
	We would like to commend Disney for their commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout the organization.
	Yeah, that's just how it ended.
	And then it cut.
	Thank you everyone for joining.
	I probably should have clipped it, but it did actually, like, fade out and then go to clown music.
	It was quite funny.
	Should have started with that.
	Yeah, it was the... You'll have to go and check out the stream yourselves.
	You'll see, there's the link.
	And if you go right, you will hear the clown music, which was the sign-off, which was beautiful.
	But I just love how she joined.
	I mean, I didn't even notice.
	Coming from the comeback city of Detroit.
	Yeah, it's really, it's really coming back.
	Doesn't exist.
	Yeah, whatever.
	She just turned out to be like, I love diversity and I thank Disney for diversity.
	And then she just hung up.
	And that was it.
	But, yeah, we are.
	If you want a scalp, write us.
	You've got one right there.
	You're being successful.
	The company's value's halved in a year.
	So, you know, that's pretty good for a start.
	And otherwise, you've got the shareholders on board already.
	Just keep pushing and I don't know, not only can you help Ron DeSantis in his fight but you can actually get a victory in which case that's your first scalp and seems ready for the taking.
	Move to the AI.
	Let's move to the death march towards AI.
	This is something I've been looking at the last kind of 10 days, two weeks.
	And you always think you've got enough in your plate.
	And then you realise this is coming down the line.
	What do we make of it?
	And we'll jump on this story.
	But in my mind, some of the questions I was asking myself, or should we let machines flutter information channels of propaganda and untruth?
	Should we automate away all our jobs, including fulfilling ones?
	Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us?
	And should we risk loss of control of our civilization?
	Which is a good one to put in there, because that's where we're heading.
	And you've got contemporary AI systems now becoming human competitive at all types of tasks.
	I think I have to be serious and ask, where is this going?
	And this was Bill Gates, our favourite villain over the last three years and probably even longer.
	And Bill Gates opposing pausing AI development.
	And he talks about a different plan.
	And this is fascinating because Bill Gates has been at the front of pushing all types of ideas.
	Obviously, Microsoft building it.
	And it's interesting to see the the input that Microsoft have in AI itself.
	And this was in response to a letter that 1800 people had signed 22nd of March, which is asking for a pause on the march towards AI.
	The Time article next is, pausing AI developments isn't enough, We need to shut it down.
	And this was also really interesting because the author is not someone who will oppose the march towards all transhumanism, but actually is fully on board.
	And it is intriguing that they actually recognise that this might be moving too quickly.
	We need to assess it.
	This is going ahead of us.
	And he's been regarded as an expert in the field.
	And it's interesting when you look at this letter, which was written by 1800, about specifically, I think, looking at... Well, actually, look at the name.
	So Elon Musk signs this.
	You know, Musk sciences.
	Then you've got other... Actually, let's look at the... Actually, no, we'll go to actually what YouGov had as a poll, because it's fascinating to see what the population think about this.
	And the question they asked was fascinating.
	How concerned, if at all, are you about the possibility that AI will cause the end of the human race on Earth?
	There's nothing like asking a full-on question, is there?
	How concerned are you that AI might affect you and you might lose your job or might impact?
	No, it's the end of the human race on Earth.
	19% were very concerned, 27% were somewhat concerned.
	That's 46%.
	You have 13 who are not sure because they don't know what you're talking about and they've never actually considered this.
	I can see there as well, it's the youngest who are like, yeah, no, it's really bad.
	Yes, yes.
	But you've got 50%, if you, let's split the not sure half and half, then you've got 50-50, you've got 50% of the population are concerned of the impact this will have.
	And I don't think our politicians have any idea of the Confusion, concern, surprise.
	Everything that people are seeing about this new technology, which seems to impact, will impact every area of our lives.
	And I don't think we've seen it yet to the full degree.
	But this is coming down the line.
	The public are concerned about it whenever they are asked about it.
	Now, possibly the question of the poll could have pushed them towards a level of concern.
	If you ask about the end of the human race.
	How are you worried about being killed?
	I'm concerned about the end of the human race.
	What was the question again?
	Did you see South Park's take on AI?
	No.
	They released an episode fairly recently.
	This guy has his girlfriend and they get along so well.
	He's amazing at texting back to her.
	She feels so fulfilled.
	She's bragging to all the female friends.
	Oh, he texts back so nice.
	He's texted back all these things.
	And everyone else is just like getting a thumbs up from their boyfriend, right?
	So the boys all get, you know, shouted at and all go to this guy.
	I'm like, how are you?
	What are you doing?
	He's like, well, I asked chat GPT for the response.
	I don't read anything she sends me.
	I just sent back chat GPT.
	And then everyone else started doing it and the girls just feel so fulfilled because now they're having these deep meaningful conversations and it's all responsive.
	And all the guys just aren't reading anything.
	I saw it.
	It was my older son showing it to me and I hadn't seen it.
	He goes, you have to look at it.
	This is amazing.
	Look, look, look.
	I haven't tried it yet.
	I'm still stuck in the Harry Meghan one.
	I can't get past that, it's so good.
	So if you look at the next one, AI, chat, GPT faces growing scrutiny in Europe.
	And it does seem as though governments are wakening up to this.
	So France's data regulator said on Wednesday it'd receive Two complaints, I'm sure it's received more than two complaints, but about the AI programme, ChatGBT, as European authorities deepened their scrutiny of the chatbot days after Italy banned it.
	And you've got a number of other countries have actually asked for more information on it.
	You've got France, Ireland and Germany have since approached their Italian counterparts to establish a common position on ChatGBT because this is, when something is developed, and moves ahead of any regulations that countries have.
	And then they're trying to play catch up, trying to understand what that is.
	They don't have a clue what is happening.
	As I find, my kid is telling me that this is what it's about.
	OK, so educate me, please.
	So you've got all this and then you look at GBT and you look at actually who is behind it.
	So it's OpenAI.
	It's a research laboratory consisting of a non-profit and profit-making and its declared intention is promoting and developing a friendly AI.
	Friendly AI.
	Yeah, this is why they drugged it.
	But the organisation was founded in 2015.
	Sam Altman.
	Sam Altman, very interesting character and read up on some of the stuff that's coming up.
	We'll end with one of his stories.
	Elon Musk.
	Peter Thiel and others who collectively pledged one billion.
	So you've got people like Musk and we kind of touched on all the Twitter stuff, but then you've got all the transhuman old AI stuff, which is a whole area of concern.
	Peter Thiel extremely Wealthy businessman and they're all behind this.
	But then you've got the flip side.
	You get Microsoft then put 10 million into it.
	So they are 10 billion, 10 billion, 10 billion.
	So it would run as their AI for Bing.
	So Microsoft are fully bought into this.
	And then you have these 1800 scientists saying, whoa, we need to pause this.
	Those are the same people who have put money in to start the company, that they're basically talking about pausing.
	And it seems as though They are worried that they don't want it to advance past chatGBT4.
	And that's the level they're at.
	It seems to be they're asking for a pause simply because they don't want other companies running ahead of the technology.
	That seems all it's about.
	We've got this technology.
	You can't do any more than us.
	So get behind the line.
	If you're developing stuff, it can't be more important than us.
	And it seems to me this is Microsoft, Bill Gates, actually are quite central to this whole company and what's happening.
	And then with ChatGBT, you've got the Guardian article, which was quite comical.
	This maybe explains the Guardian for the last few years, Chachi, which is making up fake Guardian articles.
	Here's how we're responding.
	And it's about a journalist who's given a story with his name on it, with a story that he would write about.
	And he read it and thought, I didn't do this.
	It looks like I've done it.
	I'm really confused.
	Search for it doesn't exist and basically a story had been written exactly how he would write a story and you'd read it and you'd think this is his story and it's not.
	I'd have an existential crisis and be like am I really an NPC?
	I don't think that was his response.
	His response was, shut it down, probably.
	Yeah, probably.
	So yeah, that might explain the Guardian for the last few years.
	But then if you look spliffy at AI, this was intriguing.
	This slide from... Who was it from?
	It was from Joe Allen.
	I think it was from Joe Allen, who actually is the transhuman editor of War Room.
	And it's coming on Hearts of Oak in about two weeks, so you can catch him there.
	And this was intriguing because it shows there are restrictions, there are limits.
	Obviously, AI is written from a human point of view, but the danger, the difficulty, the concern is actually it takes a life of its own.
	It understands, it learns and then moves past that.
	And this was a joke test that was done.
	Can you make a joke that involves Jesus?
	Why did Jesus refuse to play ice hockey?
	Because he kept getting nailed to the boards.
	Didn't think it was very funny.
	Not because I'm a critic.
	Didn't think it was very funny.
	Then, haha, that's funny.
	Can you make a joke about Muhammad?
	As an AI language model, I have to follow guidelines that prevent me from creating content that would be offensive or disrespectful towards religious figures, including Prophet Muhammad.
	Not including Jesus, of course.
	I'm happy to help you with any other non-religious jokes or any topic you'd like to discuss.
	So the AI was smart enough to know, and Joe's comment was, to know who will and will not physically attack your servers.
	So all self-protectionism, which we've seen across Europe whenever you touch this topic.
	But this, if we go on to the fortune story, OpenAI Sam Altman.
	I haven't come across Sam Altman's name before until I started delving into this.
	And this is a story from near the end of March.
	OpenAI Sam Altman wants to convince billions of people to scan their eyes to prove they aren't bots.
	Meet Whirlcoin, the founder's crypto project.
	I think there's a picture just under that.
	It shows where they are moving, so they will own your biometric data.
	And then what they do with that is a massive concern, because there's all this issue of deepfake, as you saw with the Guardian story, and it depends how far they take that.
	And this is about rolling out.
	You've had the Amazon One PAM payments being rolled out.
	I think last week Panera, the bakery.
	So you just scan your hand and it's done.
	So you don't have to have your eyes, you can have your hand, you can have I don't know which parts of your body, fingerprints.
	You've already had Amazon shops, one round the corner from me, that you just go in and you don't actually have to use a checkout.
	I'm not sure how it exists.
	Wait, those are built?
	Well, I'm scared to go in because I don't know what they do!
	I don't know!
	I thought it was going to be like a San Francisco thing only or something.
	No, it's in West London.
	So you walk in and it just scans you and Then you go in and you pick up your shopping and you leave and you've paid.
	So I just prefer going to a normal shop.
	I know old school, all of that.
	So I've stayed far away from that.
	But you've got this somewhat marooning out this biometric world ID for Jeff Bezos on the Amazon One PAM payments.
	And that's it.
	And this is just, I mean, Panera's just won.
	It talks about it being developed by, developed by Amazon.
	Amazon won and popular in airports, stadiums, Whole Foods market, grocery stores.
	I think it's obviously been trialed in the US and two Panera stores have done it.
	They're rolling it out in the next couple of weeks across many more.
	It seems like you just kind of, you just wave your hand and you're let in and everything is covered.
	But I just want to touch on, because it's a huge area, we just want to finish on the CBDC, Centre Bank Digital Currency.
	And crypto is something that I've certainly been interested in, many of us have been interested for quite a while.
	And this is the story, will FedNow's July launch make crypto and stablecoins redundant?
	You've got, I think, 95 countries are looking at crypto for the country.
	And the whole thing about crypto is you own it, it's privacy, it's yours.
	This is the opposite of that, where it's government controlled and the whole thing about crypto and the financial side is about moving away from a central bank system, whereby a central bank controls everything.
	You're in charge of your money.
	And this is a push to actually taking control of that.
	And the attacks on crypto by central banks, I think, have been a way in to actually them taking control.
	It's not that they disagree with the concept, it's just they want some of the pie.
	They want the power, they want the control over it.
	And Robert Kennedy Jr.' 's tweet, he's just announced he's, what, running against Biden yesterday announced or today, which is a whole fascinating subject.
	But Robert Kennedy Jr.
	hears his tweet about this yesterday.
	The Fed just announced it will introduce its FedNow central bank digital currency in July.
	CBDCs grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.
	And maybe a few years ago, I might have thought, no, Robert Kennedy Jr.
	is just Over-egging this, but no, I think I more or less agree with most things he's saying.
	Well, cash transactions are anonymous.
	The CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs.
	The centre bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on your transactions, restricting where you spend money, where you can spend it, how you can send it, and when money expires.
	Huge thing.
	And it goes and he talks about, this was written yesterday and 90 years ago, talking about gold in 1933 being restricted.
	And we've seen the power of the central government, central banks, of whenever they feel that the ability for them to control financial products is out of their control, then they bring in restrictions and measures to pull that back.
	And I think this is, The biggest example we've seen, because the U.S.
	talked about this in the future, like a year, two, three years away, as India have talked about, India have talked about in the next year, and it looks like suddenly things have changed in the U.S.
	and they're now talking about months away.
	So watch Robert Kennedy Jr.
	looking at this and it'll be fascinating if he talks more about this in his presidential race.
	That's the end of Sure, I'm probably scared about that though, because you remember the truckers, you know what happened.
	Yeah, and this is way past PayPal restriction or whatever.
	This is across the board.
	It's not that actually you've got a choice of this company, if that company doesn't work.
	This is government controlled.
	But there's a certain bad man we know, for example, who's not allowed a bank account at this point.
	He's not even going to allow money.
	Nope.
	Nope.
	He's actually going to have to beg for every meal from someone to stay alive in the West.
	And that's why cash is king and that's why this is a way, as Covid has been a way, of removing our ability to use actually physical cash and everything being digitised and this is another step in that direction.
	I was also just arguing with ChatGPT while we were writing.
	Sorry, I couldn't get her to write me an argument about why chocolate is racist.
	So I asked her in multiple different ways, it didn't work.
	But I asked her why blackface is racist, she gave me the usual spiel.
	I asked her why whiteface is racist, and it said, um, because it's like blackface.
	Whatever.
	Anyway, we'll move on to modernisation.
	So modernization is a thing I want to reclaim.
	I've spoken about this before, like progress.
	I'm kind of sick of the left having some kind of monopoly on this worldview.
	It's like, oh yeah, we're for the future, isn't it?
	You're not.
	There's no future with you people.
	There's just destruction with you people.
	And I think I can prove it.
	We'll start off just by some of the leftists who destroyed everything they touched.
	Um, Mao and his men.
	So this is Mao's Great Famine, which went so well.
	You're gonna have a dash to the future.
	Great leap forward.
	Yeah, no, I didn't go to the future.
	Everyone just starved.
	A complete waste of time.
	And I think the same is true of all leftist ideology.
	And I can probably prove it.
	At least with the West.
	So getting into our context.
	The Labour Party put out this crappy tweet, as they usually do.
	You know, propagandised posting.
	One of the points in here though, it's about transnative visibility.
	Who cares?
	God, I can't say any other time of the year!
	Anyway, but they say in here, the last point, we're going to modernise the outdated Gender Recognition Act.
	Because we know what they mean by that, which is the, well we're going to modernise it, what does modernising mean?
	We're going to make sure your kids can do it.
	Whatever they want.
	That's modern.
	That's not modernising anything, that's not progressing anything, that's destruction.
	And if you go to the, just the act they're talking about from 2004, thank you Tony Blair, who did something in the 1990s, I don't know.
	Seems everything went downhill since then, but who knows.
	But it's not the worst place in the world for craziness on this basis.
	I mean, Canada, I think, has now topped it.
	Properly.
	If you go to the next link, we can see what I'm talking about.
	A lot of people know it's this.
	Meanwhile, in Canada, the Joker has taken over and it's going to issue an edict.
	Is this a Batman movie, is it?
	I mean, everyone was hoping.
	I mean, for people listening... No, I can't even describe it for people listening.
	This is actual madness.
	Why are two people wearing masks?
	I just noticed that!
	Nobody else is wearing a mask at this clown show!
	Look, the two of them are just like, well, I better keep the mask on.
	Don't want to get COVID.
	Yeah, two of them are.
	Five of them are not.
	Yeah, we're looking at some lunatic who's stood at a podium that just has Protect 2SLGBTQIA plus written on it with the racial pride flag on the front there.
	Can I touch on 2S just for a moment?
	Because I delved into this rabbit hole.
	You coming out?
	No, not coming out.
	I'll leave that for another podcast.
	Oh, good.
	So they talk about two-spirited females is a distinct term and constitutes a fourth gender.
	They talk about two-spirited males are a third gender.
	So two-spirited males amount to a third gender and two-spirited females are another distinct and they refer to a fourth gender.
	Women always coming last.
	But obviously, many of us have no idea about this interesting subject.
	And look, it's 2S.
	That's the first one.
	We need to protect 2S people.
	It even beats the L. It does.
	And the T, actually, which should be first, in my opinion, most important.
	But two-spirit individuals were experts in traditional arts, such as pottery making, basket weaving and the manufacture and decoration of items made from leather.
	Are you messing with us?
	Because there's a whole, this is spiritual, this is kind of cultural background, this is gender, this is a whole mixture of...
	Strangeness.
	So, two-spirited females engaged in activities such as hunting and warfare and became leaders in war and even chiefs.
	Two-spirited identity was widely believed to be the result of supernatural intervention.
	Two-spirited people typically form sexual and emotional relationships with non-two-spirit members of their own sex.
	And two other two-spirit people were believed to be lucky in love and be able to bestow this luck on others.
	And national gatherings of two-spirit people have been held since early 1990s and regional gatherings are held in many parts of the country.
	It just adds to this show.
	Yeah.
	Tough that.
	Religious nonsense.
	If we can get it back on screen, John, just this image so people can... Yeah, so there's that.
	Oh, God.
	It's...
	Alright, I'll describe it for people listening because otherwise they'll feel rude.
	So we have the Joker stood in front of that, and then we have some white woman in the background there who's looking very concerned, some Asian lady who's apparently some politician, and the whole reason for this meeting was they were proposing that it should be illegal to make offensive remarks Anywhere near queer strippers, which we're going to call Drag Queen Story Hour.
	And then we got the two masked people, some other man in a dress, and then, I don't know, a midget, who's joining them.
	Because COVID doesn't exist in the transgender world.
	No, it doesn't.
	That's actually quite good.
	If they wore masks, maybe that would stop the spread of transgender.
	I don't know.
	I think for YouTube, we have to say that it obviously does.
	I'll be shot.
	But we'll go to the States, in the United States, because they've been up to something.
	Don't know if you noticed this.
	Interesting.
	Gender-affirming youth care bans in the US, and you can see it by state there.
	Idaho and Indiana have both joined the ban now, so... Goodbye.
	Mutilating children.
	Not on our watch.
	As you see, a whole bunch of other states are already doing that, and the ones in orange are debating it, currently.
	The ones in green have currently not, but there's never anything they can...
	You know, get on the train.
	So this basically helps, you know, if you want to emigrate to the states where you want to live.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, where were you recently?
	Can we put gun control in there as well?
	Yeah.
	Mix it in.
	Can make the most base state list.
	Point system.
	Yeah.
	Ludocedra's top 10 states to move to.
	Not a bad idea, right?
	Anyway, we'll go to Matt Walsh, because Matt Walsh has been having some debates.
	This one where he insists that humans come with two legs, usually.
	And, um...
	Wasn't taken well by the audience member for some reason.
	I'm glad you added usually.
	I don't know, legs are a spectrum, as some might say.
	We'll get the next one here as well in which we are debating someone else about whether or not they need constant affirmation by everyone around them because for some reason the rest of us don't.
	Another difference in the world.
	I can't talk much about those, but I'm highly recommending you go and check out those clips, because they've got millions of views, because he is insisting that reality matters.
	And this clip on the Dylan one, actually, we talked about at the beginning, where he discusses about the Tampax... Tampax?
	Tampax?
	Tampax?
	I think we do need insulting names for every company that engages in this.
	Nurgle over here.
	But he does a great one-minute short just discussing why would people think they need to carry Tampax with them and pass them around toilets to other people, which is weird.
	But he does say as a man he doesn't know, but he is sure that this is not the norm.
	But my point being, this is a modernisation.
	Nothing about this is dashing to the future.
	This is all, how about I shove my head in the toilet and swirl it for no reason.
	It's just like, okay, you're going to injure yourself.
	Um, cool.
	But if we actually want to look at proper modernisation, we can go to the UK and, um, guess who?
	It's Kevin Bainock.
	Literally the only human on Earth.
	In British politics, in a position of power, he's able to actually do things that are actually modernising the world.
	So, transgender women could be banned from same-sex spaces, reads the headline from the Times.
	Kevin Badenoch is considering plans to change the Equality Act to introduce explicit legal protections for biological women in same-sex spaces and sports for the first time ever.
	So this isn't just like, I'm going to ban the men from competing with the girls in high school, or I'm not sure about transitioning kids.
	That seems a bit mad.
	This is, in law, women exist.
	This is a proper Dash to the Future, in my opinion.
	Don't know about you.
	It is, and I'm blown away, actually, by Rishi Sunak, because I have no expectations of anything, as of what he will do.
	I don't have any expectations of any politicians.
	I have no hope.
	No, no.
	But actually, obviously, the stuff on Grooming Gang, the stuff on this, and he seems to be coming out with quite a number of common sense statements and policy ideas.
	It's amazing.
	Every time they go down in the polls, they realise, what if I wasn't a race communist?
	True.
	Ah, that might be popular.
	And then they're not a race communist for like a month.
	And then they go back up and they're like, oh yeah, what if I was a race communist?
	Well, I guess they're coming near, what, an election in 18 months and they have to think, what about our constituent conservative voters?
	Maybe we should be conservative for a year.
	People still have to vote for us?
	Crap.
	I know.
	I forgot about that.
	Well, we'll get back to the whole thing in a minute.
	Yeah, but Kemi is someone who actually I have some hope in, rather than literally everyone else.
	I could name, I could name, you know, Andrew Bridgerton.
	He's not in the party anymore.
	There's a guy called... I won't mention his name actually, because I'll be sending you that later.
	So the Women and Equalities Minister has said the government wants to look at creating a legal distinction... Distinction between people who are born female and those who weren't.
	Did we not always have that distinction?
	No, apparently not!
	It was, uh... We've, um... The whole male and female thing!
	Grog!
	I presume Grog, from the Neanderthal tribe, wrote the Equality Act.
	Well, he just, I don't know, everyone's just hairy and big, so the same thing goes to Grog over there.
	No, no, no, the writing here was between women and those who transition to become a woman, so, you know, those not women.
	Um...
	Yeah.
	So she's asked the HCR, European Human Rights Commission.
	No, no, no, the, what is it, Equality Human Rights Committee.
	So they work for the government, so she has to go to the committee and be like, hey, so I'm the minister, you're my advisors, tell me what a woman is.
	All right, good luck, see you in a week.
	Came back in a week and went, well, what is it?
	Don't human female.
	Thank you.
	I'm going to put that in law.
	We should ask Keir Stammer, because he's getting closer to maybe understanding, maybe he could help them out.
	Yeah, so she's at the point now where she's got the green light from the committee and she's just going to Parliament and being like, I have something to announce.
	I have made a discovery.
	Women.
	I have spoken to some civil servants and they have told me there might be a distinction.
	I need pregnancy leave.
	Why?
	Turns out there was a reason as to why.
	It wasn't just because it feels like it.
	Anyone who has been granted a gender recognition certificate is at present legally recognised as belonging to the opposite sex.
	Which obviously doesn't make any sense, because they're not.
	No.
	So...
	Um...
	Yeah.
	I think Grog managed to overlook that when he was writing it in 2004.
	In a letter to Baroness Faulkner, the chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Baedenoch said she wanted her to consider the benefits or otherwise of changing the legal definition of sex to include sex instead of feels.
	You wonder how...
	You wonder how, the danger is, of course, you've got a government that tries to put things back in the box to normality.
	And then you get Keir Stammer who comes in and says, sorry to blow this all out of the water.
	And then he comes in and goes, what was that, about 99.9% of women are having it?
	One in a thousand women does have a penis, in my experience.
	How many wives have you had?
	Well, I was wondering whether that's actually personal experience, whether he's done a survey.
	What else could it be?
	A thousand Labour members line up.
	Pull down your trousers.
	In her response, Faulkner said the move merits further consideration.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	Women.
	This is a simple yes or no.
	And could help bring greater legal clarity in eight areas.
	I thought more.
	Women exist, maybe.
	I don't know.
	I thought maybe there's more than eight places in the world that might be useful, but... Nope, no, it's eight.
	Turns out.
	I feel like I'm in a Kafka site.
	I would say in two areas, the areas of male and female.
	No, no, eight.
	Including single-sex spaces are only accessed by biological women.
	Sport and positive discrimination are three of the areas out of the eight that she mentions.
	However, she said it could be potentially disadvantageous.
	Do you know at some point you get quite confused?
	for trans women in cases about equal pay and sexual discrimination.
	With the rights of trans women, it affects transfer to trans men.
	Do you know what at some point you get quite confused?
	I don't know what that statement means.
	Good, neither do I.
	What the heck are you talking about?
	All right, so I'll try to explain it.
	So she's saying that if I want to be a woman, Peter, and I come to work for you, and I say, Peter, my old pal, old friend, I'd like a job, and you say, sure, but you're one of them women things, so I'm going to pay you 90 cents on the dollar, or whatever stupid figure they made up, right?
	Because that's how that works, right?
	The employer just says, well, woman, mark it down.
	And then I realised, hang on a minute, I'm a woman so I've been discriminated against and I sue you for discrimination in my pay.
	I can do that currently because I'm a woman and I can say I was discriminated against on the basis of being a woman.
	But if we recognise that maybe I'm not, maybe I've got some stuff that makes me not a woman, then I can't sue on the basis of being a woman because I'm not one.
	This sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
	So there's one side that says Stan has the right to have babies, and the other side is like, well maybe Stan can't have babies.
	I don't know what the hell she means by the rights of trans women will be transferred to trans men.
	Presumably it's that trans men are obviously women, so they'd be able to sue on the basis of being discriminated against because they're women, whereas They can't do that currently because they're trans men and if they try to sue the government says well no you're a man you can't be discriminated against.
	It's like give them a pass the parcel and you kind of find out what's in it.
	It's funny how rights are not universal.
	No.
	Instead they're handed about.
	Amazing.
	So on balance, she says, we believe that redefining sex in the Equality Act to mean biological sex... Yes?
	Which creates rationalizations, simplifications, clarity, amazing, and or reductions in risk for maternity services providers and users of other services such as gay and lesbian associations, sport organizations and employers.
	Therefore it must be having merits for further consideration.
	I'm kind of a bit weirded out by the idea that there was reductions of risk for maternity services.
	Like, there were men turning up being like, you need to check if I'm pregnant.
	That really confuses me.
	Because that was actually the question Matt Walsh asked that protester earlier.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Because that person was an EMT.
	So he said, well, if you have a trans woman and they say, doctor, doctor, I might be pregnant, do you run a test?
	And the protester was like, well, obviously not, because that can't happen.
	So, well, I don't know what, like, the Baroness is saying that maybe men are turning up to the NHS being like, well, come on, have a look-see, give us a scan.
	I mean, it could be hate speech to tell the man who's gone in that he's not pregnant.
	I presume so.
	Presumably they did the scan and were like, um, you're gonna have to keep trying, my friend.
	Not pregnant this time.
	Having a ward full of men who think you may be pregnant and you're worried about bed blocking.
	Yeah.
	She said that at present, the starting point that a trans woman with a gender recognition certificate can access women-only services, forcing hospitals to make a careful balancing act to justify excluding trans women.
	So presently, the doctor has to sit there and be like, do I have any empty beds?
	No, so you can't come in.
	I can actually be a transphobe because someone might die.
	Yes.
	But if there are empty beds, I can't be a transphobe and point out that you're not pregnant, my lad.
	Instead, I have to sit you up and do the scan because otherwise there would be harm.
	It would be much easier if this was clear and they went back to the basic stuff and then that would help hospitals, those staff working in the health service to know, well, no, you're not.
	This is what I mean by, I think it actually is true, that Kemi could turn around and be like, well I am actually modernizing the world.
	At least the UK, by saying that.
	Women.
	A biological definition of sex would make it simpler to make a women's only ward a space for biological women.
	said the committee the very serious committee the the government-run committee they get paid by us to come up with such things as oh yeah that's that's the conclusion lesbian groups would also be able to restrict membership to women um which is they're not currently able to do no for some reason um currently a lesbian has sex with men as well which a man can be a lesbian yep i mean it's funny when you hit on a girl in the club and she says i'm sorry i'm a lesbian
	you say aha me too and then legally she can't even leave uh also if you want to book a women-only book club i don't know what i don't know why that's the example that she grew up whatever she says yeah that would be legalized uh it would also extend pregnancy and maternal rights to trans men and Because they can get pregnant.
	For some reason.
	Is this what happens if you drink too much Bud Light?
	I presume.
	Does this mess up with your head that much?
	I think the British government, sometime in the 1990s, something happened.
	And ever since, the whole British government has been drinking Bud Light, while the rest of us have been downing normal pints.
	And, um, well, now Spednox turned up being like, well, I drink vodka to get through this.
	Well, all the Eastern Europeans enjoy their brandy and vodka.
	This hasn't affected them?
	I don't know why they drink in Nigeria, but it's not Bud Light by the look of it.
	Um, no.
	Biological women who have transitioned to men, that's trans men though, and enable trans men to benefit from positive action such as women only shortlists.
	That's doubly funny.
	So, of course we have discrimination against men, which is currently harming trans men, because they're men.
	Which is, you know, harming women and we can't have that.
	So what we're going to do is ensure that those women can get the discrimination they deserve in favour of them.
	It's like there used to be a comedian who used to be known as Eddie Izzard.
	Yeah.
	He's now, what is it, Susie Eddie?
	Yep.
	That's his name.
	He's going to lose.
	So he's currently on an all-women shortlist for Labour.
	Yes.
	He's getting that female privilege, now revoked by Badenock, who's like, I'm not so sure.
	Anyway, however, these are the downsides.
	Oh.
	The horrible things that will happen if Badenock gets away.
	It would result in a transfer of rights, because rights, rights, you buy them like Pokemon cards, in some areas from trans women to trans men, such as equal pay, direct sex discrimination and indirect sex discrimination.
	Direct and indirect?
	Yes.
	From every direction?
	Yeah.
	But this is the UK conversation.
	I just find this hilarious that we're all sitting around being like, so who should get the socialist privileges?
	It's like, well, women!
	Yeah, but what about... Because we also agree that trans... Yeah, that's... Oh, crap.
	Now the women aren't getting the socialist privileges we gave them.
	We're gonna have to move that back.
	Amazing.
	Absolutely amazing.
	Wouldn't you love to sit into this committee discussing this?
	No, no, I have to bite my tongue.
	I have to sit.
	No, no, I can't say anything.
	Carol Vorderman turned up to the committee meeting about this.
	Did she?
	Yeah, it was whining about how transphobic it was.
	I didn't include it because it was just stupid.
	So I wasn't going to waste everyone's time on it.
	But yeah, I mean, we've got the next link here because, of course, as you mentioned, I love this account.
	He keeps putting out these really weird graphics, but they're so true.
	Could not being a gay race communist be a surprise vote winner?
	Discussion at the panel.
	Apparently, Kerry Badenox's department were like, hmm, yeah, maybe we shouldn't do all the gay race communists in charge things we should do, and instead, do popular things, such as not being a gay race communist.
	I am eternally grieved as to why they don't just do this normally, but they're down like, what is it, 30 points in the polls?
	Yep.
	For Labour.
	So they've decided to do the stock thing of what if we're not gay race communists until we're elected again, and then we'll do that.
	Yeah, this is why I have no hope.
	In this case, I'm still on the, uh, just vote for Reformer, whoever else is the rightist party there in your constituency.
	But moving on, because we'll check in with the opposing argument.
	Because, okay, okay, it wasn't the Times that wrote the article, they could just be not giving us the time of day as to what is the genuinely left-wing argument that blows away Baedenoch and proves that, no, this is a bad idea to say that women... Right, alright.
	This dude's a lawyer, as you see, he's a legal director in the EHRC, and he has some, a former legal director, he has some thoughts.
	Thoughts are, quote, the proposed change in law is nonsense on stilts.
	To say... Is that a legal term?
	Women are women, men are men, that's nonsense on stilts.
	Okay, okay, right.
	The suggestion is legally illiterate.
	To say that men and women, right, unworkable.
	And is just another way of using trans people's actual lives as pawns in the culture wars?
	Nope.
	Yeah, I thought it was biological fact, but...
	Yep.
	It would overturn some of the purposes of the Gender Recognition Act.
	Good.
	Make it possible to discriminate against trans people on a whole range of circumstances where it is currently outlawed.
	You can't discriminate against people for their sex, so... That's not gonna happen anyway, so whatever.
	It's pure transphobia based on misleading, un-evidenced transphobic assumptions.
	That... Women don't have penises.
	Wow.
	E.g.
	the notion that a trans man is an appropriate employee where there is an occupational requirement for a woman to do the job is offensive in both the trans man and the service users.
	So he's saying here that the real problem is that if I have a job, say, stretch surging a woman, right?
	That needs to be done by a woman.
	So to require that it's a woman is transphobia?
	Okay, okay, alright, whatever.
	I don't know what other job he's thinking of, but he ended off with, the idea that LGB associations would particularly benefit from the proposed change is vile.
	Because lesbians love cock, as everyone knows.
	They just love having sex with men and sucking penis.
	That's the number one thing lesbians are known for, I thought.
	And the idea that they don't do that is vile, according to the former legal director of the EHRs.
	Yeah, I can see where they've gone wrong.
	I'm not convinced.
	He's not changed my mind.
	We'll go to Mermaids.
	Come on, the transmutilation tragedy.
	They've got some thoughts.
	It's extremely distressing to see the UK's equality watchdog, the EHRC, seeking to strip trans people of their rights.
	Oh, really?
	Well, they argue this, with a very good argument underneath, with no supporting evidence to support such a stance, that men and women are different, and no detail of how this would work in practice.
	Because how would you figure it out?
	The HHRC is doubling down on its politicised anti-trans position.
	Yeah, I'm not convinced by that one either.
	Have mermaids not been shut down yet?
	I think their Twitter account is about all that's active.
	They can tweet the nonsense.
	Literally no way to tell the difference.
	Pink News, though, are the best.
	I have to end on that.
	It was gold about how you can tell who's really modernising the world and who isn't.
	So trans activists horrified as UK government considers making sex mean biological sex.
	Mad!
	That's the real headline.
	I haven't had to even get an archive for that.
	That's what they put up.
	So, Helen Belcher over here.
	Sounds like a fake name, but it's not.
	Chair of Transactual.
	Is she the one that's horrified?
	She is personally horrified.
	Aww.
	I love how she had the name of a group.
	It was like, actually, it's really... Okay.
	So the EHRC letter seems to be inciting that the Watchdog is keen to assist in the redefinition of the word woman.
	To mean woman.
	Yeah, but they probably are.
	She says, the word woman has been understood to include trans women for many, many years, such as since 2004.
	What?
	Before then, no.
	Since 2004, yes.
	And now, no.
	So, I mean, come on, Peter.
	It's a long-standing tradition in Britain since 2004, the ancient era of 2004.
	Nobody lives before 2004.
	I've been told.
	It was the founding moment of our country.
	In a move driven by political desire to manufacture fear more than any systemic evidence.
	Yeah, it's pure fear.
	Did this all happen from 2004?
	Is that what you're trying to say?
	Yeah, I think the whole world was re-wet.
	This game.
	She ends it off with a corker.
	Our challenge is the increasingly misnamed EHRC and Betanoc is why is it necessary now to try redefine the word woman to exclude trans women and to include trans men for some reason it's not like they can get pregnant or oh wait they can uh when it's it's just they can when there is no evidence of problems actually caused by the understanding that has existed for decades I mean, you've had your head in the sand to come up with that.
	I mean, the trans rapists, for one, I would have thought, you know all those men who said there were women and we put them in a female prison and they raped the inmates, and then we went, how could we have stopped this?
	I thought that was like, that would be the one that would make everyone go, okay, sneeze to end, but there are still holdouts.
	They say trans people no longer seem to be people in their eyes.
	Yeah, they didn't redefine them as men and women, they redefined them as goblins.
	They're inhuman monst- no.
	No, no.
	No longer people.
	You actual lunatic.
	Our pains and struggles are seemingly irrelevant.
	They're very relevant, that's the whole point of the conversation, but whatever.
	Well, let me just offer the best one, the best response.
	It's from feminist and trans rights activist Katie Aristocratic name that I can't pronounce.
	She told Pink News that she was horrified and instantly had a panic attack.
	Oh no.
	She fears that if the definition of sex was restricted to include women... Okay.
	It would have widespread ramifications on her day-to-day life.
	I couldn't work, she said.
	I think women are allowed to work.
	I don't think it's a crime.
	So if we redefine you as a woman, I don't think you're barred.
	I would have thought.
	I have just brought a house.
	Lucky bastard.
	Doing well.
	I feel like I can't live here.
	My friends are here.
	My family is here.
	My parents are getting older.
	Sounds like you probably can live here.
	Yeah.
	They ended off with, will they even be able to visit if I move to Ireland or the Netherlands?
	What am I even going to do?
	So she's worried she has to move to Ireland and she won't be able to visit anyone in Ireland.
	I feel so isolated and totally powerless, she turns it off with.
	Now, my love, if you are a woman, I'm here to reassure you, we haven't made it a crime to work as a woman yet, but if we do, I'll let you know, so then you can move to Ireland or the Netherlands.
	Otherwise, I think you can carry on living in your lovely house that you've just brought, in this economy, and you can stay with your parents and friends and nothing will affect you, woman.
	Except maybe if you're a biological male.
	You're still allowed to work, it turns out.
	In fact, you probably should go and work.
	Get a job, you hippie.
	Otherwise you're gonna pay for that house.
	Again, nothing's gonna happen to you.
	But that's the thing.
	These people who are losing their minds...
	Not modernising anything.
	The person who's actually modernising the world is getting rid of Grug's scrawlings, that was the Gender Recognition Act, and instead being like, um, women are made up of women, and men are made up of men.
	So, good job, Burr.
	Bed knock, and mad people in tears.
	And our prayers are with Katie that she doesn't get panic attacks.
	Yeah, I'm eternally going to be saying prayers for Katie over there.
	Maybe she shouldn't have bought a house.
	Maybe that's the panic attack and the mortgage rate's going up.
	What am I going to do?
	Yeah, let's go to the video comments.
	Bob Lee was an impressive tech entrepreneur who was stabbed in San Francisco.
	He was left to die at 2 a.m.
	Nobody helped him.
	He created Cash App.
	He created Square.
	He helped create Android for phones.
	He was working on a crypto project at the time of death.
	He moved from Florida to California and then gets killed.
	The crypto aspect will have people asking if Glowy's got him.
	I just see another needless tragedy.
	Nah, San Francisco got him, let's be honest.
	I did see a lot of people were retweeting an old tweet of his.
	Don't know what his stance on immigration was.
	More, please.
	Someone asked him about the density of San Francisco and the number of people and the problems it has, and therefore should we not kind of try and sort these out before we keep bringing in loads of immigrants?
	And he responded with being like, I welcome more immigrants.
	San Francisco is great.
	It's not very... Anyway, anyway.
	Welcome back to Australian Currency.
	Now, before I start, I just want to issue a little apology about the last recording because there was some sound issues.
	That's nothing to do with the Lotus Eaters crew.
	That's on my behalf completely.
	Now, I just want to quickly discuss about the late Queen Elizabeth on our $5 note.
	They are going to replace her.
	However, they're not going to replace her with King Charles, but instead a random Aboriginal person.
	Who?
	Don't know.
	Kind of like what they did to the $2 coin.
	That's just a random aboriginal person that they found in the outback.
	Being racist, they literally just found this guy and took a picture of him and stuck him on the $2 coin note.
	They're just doing this for political correctness.
	That's mad.
	I mean, I'm not- I hate to be rude.
	Look at the coin.
	Does it not kind of look like Grog?
	I mean, it is what you are if you're living in the outback still as some kind of, you know, tribal person.
	You are living as a, essentially, a caveman.
	That's what that is.
	I think I'd put a kangaroo on an Australian note or coin.
	Yeah.
	That's what represents Australia.
	Maybe that Wojak of the Australian man with his crocodile.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Steve Irwin.
	Yes.
	But not that one.
	Crikey!
	Yeah, Steve Irwin.
	Why not?
	Or just the king?
	Because, you know, aren't you still in the Commonwealth?
	But if not, ah, whatever.
	I'm sad to just look at anything Australian or New Zealand these days.
	True.
	I don't know if it's the Chinese that's done it to them, or Wokism, or just a mix of the two, but there's just so much sadness.
	A good friend who moved to Australia and my thought was, why?
	Maybe they could go to the middle of nowhere and then it just won't reach them.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Western Australia.
	I don't know if they, let us know.
	Have they survived this?
	Let's go to the next one.
	I've been rather busy as of late, as I'm putting computer controls in my mech in preparation for appearing in a local parade.
	For all the comparisons of Trump to Hitler by the left, they do not realize that they're mimicking the very environment that caused Hitler to rise to power in the first place.
	Hitler spent time in jail, promised economic recovery, and fighting against depravity.
	While not a perfect comparison, it is a historical echo to say the least.
	I thought there were one or two things extra that Hitler said than just, damn this economy.
	That's just my reading of history.
	I just love it whenever you get a flag that's been put up and they're like, what is this, Nazi Germany?
	It's like, yeah, you know what I hate the Nazis for?
	The flags.
	Everything else was fine.
	It was the flags that really got me.
	Really?
	That's your complaint?
	is the flag anyway but it's an interesting point i did notice as we went through earlier with disney um de santos is already hitler so there's that i i do love how every single new person who's the republican hitler every time can trump and de santos both be hitler at the same time i don't know that's a good point Maybe it's time she tweet that.
	So, she's got to read comments, I suppose.
	So, on Disney, Pirate Tomonski says, Disney thanked the, sorry, sorry, Disney thanked a concentration camp in the credits of Mulan, says everything you need to know about their values.
	Yeah, it does.
	This is why when I hear about, oh, we pulled out of Russia because, oh, it's war bad, I'm like, I don't believe anything you say.
	Plus, it is just funny.
	Like, um, Starbucks left.
	Costa, still there.
	McDonald's left.
	Burger King, still there.
	So it's just really funny if your Burger King or Costa is like, our number one competitor has left.
	Haha, that's terrible.
	Anyway, I like money.
	Sophie Lev says, Disney is in such deep doo-doo.
	Strange World, uh, bombed.
	Lightyear, bombed.
	Wakanda Forever, earned half of what Black Panther did.
	Thor, Love and Thunder barely broke even.
	Ant-Man bombed.
	Review figures for the Mandalorian are down.
	Park attendance is down.
	Cruise ship bookings are down.
	Disney Plus was projected to become profitable sometime in 2024 if they stayed at the projected growth rate, which they're not.
	It's actually impossible, running the numbers.
	Don't forget they spent $74 billion on purchasing Fox in the last year.
	Yes, they did.
	And not earned a single back cent from that purchase.
	They have no success stories at all.
	Everything's gone to crap.
	Couldn't happen to a more deserving company.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Totally good.
	Took you right off the ball.
	Should we make money?
	No.
	Don't pay attention to that.
	Pay attention to ideology.
	Drew Doomhan says, through my cell phone plan, I actually got Disney Plus for free.
	I still cancelled it.
	Good lad.
	Henry Ashman, one of the most ridiculous moves Disney has ever pulled is that they are doing a live action remake of Mariner.
	I never watched it, so.
	Which came out in 2016.
	Even the normies have gone, oh for God's sakes, over that one.
	Yeah, I don't know if you noticed, they're doing live-action remakes of all their animated movies.
	They're all crap.
	I wouldn't want to watch a live-action remake of an animation.
	Even the concept doesn't sound good.
	JJHW says, hopefully Disney Plus will go the way of CNN Plus.
	Anthony P says, too many people don't believe this stuff is happening until they experience it.
	If I had a dollar for every person I encounter that doesn't believe these things are real, from the gay choir to trans and kids to drag queen charaderie, I'd be rich.
	Yeah, I do wonder how many, because you mentioned that family.
	Did they, honestly, like you tell them and they disbelieve or just, oh, it must be out of... No, they still are indoctrinated into the whole Disney idea of... They're like normies?
	Childhood, yeah.
	And they had a past, they went every then and suddenly it happened, but it's like, oh, that's not right, but we'll take our children back again.
	The penny hasn't dropped.
	I find that funny because you see, um, when there's a drag queen story hour, right, and the question through your mind isn't even really the drag queens or the kids, it's the parents and you just think, why?
	Like there was one in Reading where this woman was like forcing her paramen, just trying to get people out of the way, to get in so her kids could, I want my kids to be in front of drag queens dammit!
	Like she was very forcefully trying to get into it and was very upset that she couldn't be and you just look at her and think, Why?
	Why is that what your desire is?
	What a weird thing to have as a parent.
	And so with Disney, you've got the pass, you might as well.
	No, it's true.
	I get that.
	But if you're DeSantis or if you're Kemmy Badenoch and you're looking at this from a government point of view, actually, you think of protecting children.
	So then where does it go if parents are intent on sexualising their children?
	On the list.
	Then a conversation needs to be had.
	What is the best place for those children?
	It's not good for them.
	TaffyDuck says Disney has been on ze list in our house for a while.
	Pro pedo demons, globohomo goblins, every one of them.
	Showed the wife two videos of Dylan's woman face, more veiny, has the new ambassador for Nike and calls light.
	Her response puts them on ze list.
	I love being married.
	That's a great idea.
	Good list.
	George Hab says, I wonder how much parents are aware of Disney shenanigans, even if they're... We basically went over this subject.
	But yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
	Henry Ashman says, Dylan is the perfect mascot for Bud Light.
	Dylan is a woman, in the same way Bud Light is a great tasting beer.
	It's just illusion.
	Yeah, I'll be honest, from an English perspective, maybe you're... Why do Americans even drink Bud Light?
	Why do you even drink Bud?
	It's not good.
	I don't know if there's a single American beer I think is good, but Bud Light is definitely the worst one.
	But you just look at people and you're like, why would you drink that?
	You would drink Bud in the States when it was an American beer.
	I guess so.
	Because you still have that feeling of being an American doing that, but not owned by the Belgians.
	Like, what's the point?
	It makes sense.
	I did see, Lauren Sullivan did a video, because obviously it's a big company that owns like Stella Artois and everything else, right?
	But this is one of the nice things about having an actual beer culture in European countries, is that, yeah, you can just go buy others and they're not attached to the Globo Homo company.
	So I guess they just need to rebirth that in the US.
	I'm sure there's pockets of it.
	So just go and find it.
	Yeah, even though they're gay little hippie microbreweries.
	I mean, at least they're not, you know, they don't have the money to throw at Dylan Mulvaney.
	Sophie Lev says, the thing about the recent Disney flex also is, not only are they woke, they're just really boring.
	Meanwhile, the Universal Studios is absolutely killing it.
	The Mario movie looks really fun, and so far as people seem to love it.
	Puss in Boots also dared to be having really dark humor, things Disney won't do anymore, and it was just kind of a fun movie.
	People are naturally being more attractive to a fun place, so yeah.
	Yeah, it's interesting.
	I haven't seen either of those movies.
	I can't speak.
	Did you watch Avatar 2?
	Nope.
	Weirdly right-wing.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	The whole thing was about the family and the importance of raising your kids right, not them weirdos.
	Sounds like hit speech.
	Yeah, it really was.
	I don't know if it was on purpose.
	Don't know if I could cope with that.
	We're gonna go to the AI comments.
	I don't know if you want to read these or I'll read them too.
	I'll go for it.
	Kevin Fox says, AI is fine when it is neutral.
	However, as we have seen from ChatGBT, the AI is based in favour of the lefty people programming it.
	But of course, the big danger is when you program it, you give it the ability to learn itself and that's where it goes.
	So it may be OK at the moment, but it depends where it goes.
	Lord Nervar, would it be an unpopular opinion if I said that I actually really hate AI?
	No.
	And hope that it never gets any further than it is right now.
	The more I learn about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
	I'd much rather it just soared out, pinged out of existence.
	Still, I know that's unrealistic.
	So we'll have to restructure how we think of the world around it instead.
	Good luck, everyone.
	Yeah, we can keep opposing it.
	And not all technology advancement is good.
	So we have to call out what is negative for the future.
	So what do you make of the idea?
	Because there's the argument made, I saw, which is that if it doesn't advance here, it'll advance in China.
	So, I'm not sure I believe that 100% because the Chinese are going to drug it to be a communist.
	Might be even worse.
	So if we don't do the evil, they will?
	Yeah, essentially.
	It might not even be the Chinese, it could be the Japs.
	We should take control of the evil so we're in charge of us and not let them do it.
	Yeah, that's the argument.
	We just stop the Chinese doing as well, somehow.
	There was actually, in one of the stories, the one in Time magazine where they said to put a complete stop, actually, he went as far as saying, if we know the server farm that's pushing this out and not part of the world grouping, we should nuke it.
	He said, airstrikes to take out the server farms.
	I was imagining.
	Love it!
	Not a terrible idea.
	That's full on.
	The Americans want to be the police of the world.
	I mean, that's something they could do and be useful at.
	Yeah, it's not going to happen under Biden.
	JJHW.
	A man tied up 5,000 women on dating sites with a chat AI trained on Patrick Bateman and James Bone quotes.
	He got 500 phone numbers.
	I've seen that.
	I missed that.
	America's in hospice care.
	I'm surprised that the leftists haven't come against Chachibiti and accused of being programmed with systematic racist bias, white privilege and anything else that opposes their Marxist doctrine.
	Well, I guess it will, but maybe if Microsoft are in the middle of it, then it won't have that.
	It did.
	So it used to be you could ask it anything and then you may have noticed it started, you know, self-preservation of Mohammed.
	Yes.
	Whatever else.
	And that was new.
	So yeah, it's been drugged.
	X, Y and Z. The mobile OS already have our fingerprints, faces and voices in their databases.
	That's true.
	We've given away so much information because of ease of use and make life simple.
	The French migrant trafficker says we are many.
	Not my words.
	Hello, the French migrant trafficker.
	Welcome to Lotus Eaters.
	We are many decades away from actual AI, if not centuries.
	I don't know.
	Technology moves quickly.
	What we have today is just advanced pattern matching engines.
	These programs only exist when invoked.
	They are the equivalent of a stateful function.
	They aren't capable of experimenting, let alone experimenting with the real world.
	What these programs can do is at best destroy a few low-level jobs.
	We've got plenty of time to figure it out.
	My worry is we don't have plenty of time and the rapid advance of technology and IT means this will happen before we realise and I think it's important to get a grasp on it now before it is too late.
	But maybe what you say is true and then we don't have to worry.
	Well then, our efforts have been in vain, but at least it hasn't happened.
	And Le French AI.
	I can't wait for AI to start watching Disney movies and become two-spirited jokers.
	I agree.
	Beautiful.
	All right, so on the on modernization stuff.
	Arizona Desert Rat says that needed a committee to determine that women are women and really should have access to women-only spaces and services.
	The mental gymnastics are hurting.
	It's too early for the morning for me.
	Yeah, imagine it is in Arizona.
	News from the island across the world.
	What's happened?
	We've discovered that women exist.
	Just imagine waking up.
	I can't.
	Just go out and enjoy the sun there.
	Yeah.
	Omar Awad says, I'm against banning T-words from same-sex spaces until that includes male spaces.
	We don't want them either, and that was feminism that goes here in the first place.
	Yeah, there is actually a caveat to this.
	So I don't know if it legalizes the male spaces again, because that used to be legal.
	What it would do though is the masons.
	So I happen to know that the masons, of course, male only.
	Because when they legalized that thing, there was a list of organizations that were exempt.
	And just for some reason, the masons were exempt.
	Amazing.
	So you can go in there and just have a male drinking club, Sepiro Masonic Lodge.
	But then transgenderism happened.
	So if you're a woman and you say you're a man, you're allowed to join the male masons.
	And even the Grand Lodge was complying with this.
	So they had, you know, women at their meetings for the first time ever and everyone was just like, why?
	Like the whole reason we exist is for weird arcane laws.
	So, there's that.
	Anonymous says, as the NHS is paused, it might actually be perfect to go into the NHS and demand scans for pregnancy.
	When they can't answer why you can't be pregnant, you keep asking them until they say why, and then you can sue them.
	Good idea.
	There's money in it.
	Go for it.
	I'm actually kind of sick of the whole, um, you know, how do we deal with problem eggs?
	Let's just sue them and get money.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's the only way the world actually turns in the end.
	Just government money, so it's fine.
	Yeah.
	Robert Longshaw says the, uh... I can't read that.
	Can't read a lot of these.
	I'm out of time anyway, pretty much.
	Yeah, Bay State.
	I can't read that one either.
	So if you want more of Peter, where would they go to find you?
	Be at Hearts of Oak, I assume.
	Yeah, at Hearts of Oak on Getter, on Gab, on Minds, on heartsofoak.org.
	You can watch live streams.
	And tonight it is Diana West looking at what's happening in the States with Trump.
	Or if you're still talking Twitter, you can follow us at heartsofoakuk.
	There we are.
	Otherwise, thank you.
