	Music Hello and welcome to the podcast Lotus here for Wednesday my dudes.
	I'm joined by Stelios.
	Hello.
	And today we're going to be talking about Fishtank is something else, Gavin Newsom's obsession with DeSantis, and I'm so happy about this, which is a little bit of self-indulgence where we just dance on some graves that need to be danced on.
	And I have absolutely no No S to give about Vice and BuzzFeed dying.
	I am unbelievably happy about it.
	I can't even hide it.
	Rest in piss, the lot of you.
	Anyway, we're getting to why I'm so happy about that later, but we shall begin with Fishtank.
	So Fishtank is a thing.
	Do you know what Fishtank is?
	No.
	So Fishtank is Sam Hyde's new gimmick, fun time, hobby.
	I'm not even sure why the hell he's doing this, but... Is it a constructive way to pass his time?
	No.
	It's essentially Big Brother, but on the internet, live-streamed, and full of autistic people.
	And you've got to pay to see it as well.
	Does it have video with fights?
	Close enough, there are some fights.
	Some cabinets need to be put in their place, so there's that.
	But we'll start off just by providing something on LotusEats.com, being the Cultural Revolution, which also had a lot of What is the point in this, moments?
	And, to be honest, I feel like Fishtank is also in that same vein.
	So we'll start off by going to Fishtank's website, for people who don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
	I don't know if you can have the cursor just scroll around on the screen there.
	Look at that, look at that functionality.
	A little camera scrolls after you, it knows what you're doing.
	Yeah, it's like Sting.
	I'll be watching you.
	I don't know why, I just find all the really crappy, simple stuff on websites entertaining.
	Amazing.
	Anyway, we'll go forward because, well, Sam Hyde has been taking a break from trying to fight Hasan Piker.
	He's bored of that now, so instead, because Hasan won't do it, that's why, but he's decided to do something else, which is create this TV show?
	Livestream?
	A show?
	I don't know.
	I suppose we'll have a look, because someone uploaded this clip, which I think summarises it quite well, saying this is one of the best things I've ever seen.
	Hashtag Fishtank Live.
	Let's play, have a look at what a brilliant show this is.
	John, push it.
	So yeah, it's pretty good.
	Is he kind of a senior figure there?
	They didn't show the appropriate respect, they didn't stand up when he went in.
	I know, so what's happening there is this is um I mean it's pretty retarded is my point to get across here but what's happening there is that's the the jail challenge and we'll get into the the structure of the show because it's it's essentially get a load of retards trap them in a in a room around the house uh film it 24-7 have them all be really autistic and then give them weird challenges but none of the challenges are anything productive make any kind of sense they're kind of just torture porn But good.
	In a way.
	So that one there, they're all stuck in a room and they get, I think it's like $1,500 if they're the last one to leave it.
	So they just made the room hell on earth.
	Mayhem.
	Total mayhem.
	Yeah.
	So in short, this is Sam being his new man, which is that he's now running some kind of torture session.
	I'm not sure what to call fish tank, frankly.
	Let's just call it the best TV ever.
	Why not?
	There we are.
	And he's got fish bucks.
	It would be the best if he ever showed us how the living room turned that way.
	We'll see a lot of how things have degenerated in that place.
	But you get fish bucks, which are literally just a piece of A4 paper that he's printed a dollar, like, PNG on.
	And each fish buck is worth $500.
	So that's what the point of the challenge is.
	You get more fish bucks if you win the challenges.
	Or just because he feels like it, I don't know.
	I don't think there's many rules here.
	So if we go to the next one you can see the jail challenge there in which they're all stuck in the room being explained.
	Last one to leave gets a lot of money.
	You may notice all the babies as well they're holding.
	We'll get back to that in a bit.
	And what would happen is that the sharks, so the members of the staff, Who are called sharks would just kind of freak him out as much as you could.
	So there's like one guy here who's, who's tempting one of the autistic girls to come on out and you'll get a plushie.
	Look, I've got your plushie.
	You want it?
	And then we'll just leave it slightly outside the door.
	So she couldn't touch it.
	That's really weird.
	Yeah, this girl here is also mega-ly autistic, like she sits and has little playdates with that plushie.
	Okay.
	What's going on there?
	More context to that.
	Are these dolls?
	The babies?
	These are the baby dolls, which they all have, that are realistic.
	So realistic they scream constantly until you can figure out what's wrong with them.
	You see the next one here is where one of the sharks just comes in to shine his torch in their faces in the middle of the night.
	And also there's that boxer that just beeps really annoyingly.
	He just comes in, turns up.
	So, I mean, I think you get the point.
	The torture session.
	Yeah.
	He's dressed like the hockey player from the horror movies.
	Jason.
	Yeah, Jason Voorhees.
	But you can see everyone's happy with that.
	Well, there's also the crying babies, which... So the babies, they got given... I don't know at what point, but he decided that everyone needed to take care of a baby to prove that they could be responsible.
	And if you go to the next one here, you can see that's sped up, because the baby's just crying and crying throughout the entire night, and all of the babies are crying.
	And there's like six of them or something in that room.
	It's just hell.
	There's also the text-to-speech.
	This is how the money is made, which is not only do you seemingly pay to watch it, but you also can donate.
	And there's little speakers that will shout out your text.
	So if you get the next one here, I mean, there's that one there, where they just, we'll play it in a minute, where they're just shouting at them, which is good fun.
	If you get the next one, there's more of it.
	It just keeps going.
	It's all very nice.
	And I've cut this down, so we'll play another clip to see a wonderful world of Fishtank.
	Hi-hi, the hee-hee-hee.
	Guys, are you awake?
	If you can't sleep, you should try falling asleep.
	3 in the morning.
	Why was 6 afraid of 7?
	Mario fires I mean I don't know what people were expecting.
	I mean, I know Sam Hyde knew this was going to be an S show, for one.
	I mean, you bring his audience along and you say, okay, that's text-to-speech.
	I think they ended up suspending some of the text-to-speech features, I'm not entirely sure, because... Seems really weird.
	Sam isn't really updating it very well, but yeah.
	Some of this stuff seems to just be for pain's sake, if nothing else.
	So, should we take a look at how good of a care they ended up taking the babies?
	There you are.
	One's going in the oven.
	Yeah, there was one black baby as well, the rest of them are white.
	I can't remember who he gave the black baby to, but okay.
	There was also one guy who was on the show who they alleged had really liked babies in real life.
	So when Sam was handing him his play baby, he took off the diaper and was like, there you go, that's how you like it.
	And then they kicked him off the show by Sam turning up and telling him in Chinese, get the F off the show.
	He actually learned how to say it in Chinese just to say it to this guy.
	Whole other story.
	It's just weird.
	If nothing else, we'll get the next one because there's also Shake the Baby.
	You can see one of the ladies here shaking one of the babies.
	Two of the babies, actually.
	To shut them up.
	One way of learning.
	I suppose.
	Don't do that.
	What is it?
	A carton of milk?
	A carton of milk?
	Yeah.
	What are you talking about?
	No, why is she doing that?
	She would be doing something like that to a carton of milk, that's what I'm saying.
	You don't know what happens if you shake a baby?
	What?
	If you take a real baby and shake the hell out of it?
	It's not something good.
	It dies.
	Yeah.
	So then it stops crying.
	So anyway, learning new things.
	We'll go to the next one here, because there's also just... Yeah, this quickly happened, which is they figured out how to put plastic bags over the baby's heads.
	You can hear the crying less, which is...
	Yeah, I mean, what were you expecting, frankly, from these people?
	But there's that.
	Naturally, the place is also a complete mess, because no one's cleaning up.
	I mean, you can see here, this is Simmons getting kicked off, in which Sam Hyde comes back on to scream in Chinese at him about it, but whatever.
	If you go to the next one, we can see the mess, because the mess is not small.
	Local man makes himself king of the mess, as well.
	Owns it.
	Yeah.
	He owned the mess.
	This character, John, over here.
	Remember him.
	Most of these people are completely forgettable.
	I don't think anyone really cares about many of them.
	It's really just, what's Sam Hyde doing today?
	Which is understandable.
	But, uh, John's gonna become central.
	We'll get back to him later.
	There's also a lot of memes around this image, which I do appreciate.
	There's, uh, them crowning him king.
	If you go to the next one, we can see that.
	There we are.
	In that future you want.
	Yeah.
	Can we click on that to make it bigger, just to enjoy it?
	King of Atlantis-ness.
	We don't know how much work goes into some of these photoshops, but that's a pretty damn good job.
	Would you want that as a bed in real life?
	Yeah, I don't know if I would want so much water close to me.
	Maybe it would break and I would drown.
	And just roll over in your sleep and... Yeah.
	Goodbye.
	Yeah, there would be some technical problems with such an endeavour.
	But most people are obsessed with this one autistic girl, or at least most of the memes are obsessed with this one autistic girl.
	If we go to the next one we can see Miss Autismo over here.
	She's most known for just, like, walking around in circles or sitting in a chair and going in circles.
	Patrolling the living room.
	Yeah, or sitting with her plushies and telling them off or whatever the hell else.
	If we go to the next one here we can see her being very attached to her plushies.
	So, Josie performing a drum show for stuffed dinosaurs in her bedroom.
	Perfectly normal.
	I'll be honest, having hyper-autistic guests and contestants is far more funny than the self-obsessed narcissists of Big Brother and other reality TV shows.
	Because I really don't think they want to even be there, which just makes it better.
	Naturally, one of the guys decided to start suffocating all of our plushies with a pillow.
	Just to piss her off, I guess.
	Where do they find these people?
	Sam Hyde's friendless?
	I don't know.
	But I mean, I think the next one here really just about sums it up, which is, we're really just here for the madness.
	Let's play this.
	That's a perfect outfit for boxing.
	Yeah, what's a little big sign?
	Stay inside, no weed.
	So you got the autistic girl, circling and counting.
	Some dude just trying to make, I don't know, coffee or something.
	Oh, there's boxing going on.
	Yeah, okay.
	I mean, better than any other reality TV, I guess.
	Maybe she tries to achieve a sort of trance.
	Perhaps.
	A mental state, you know, weird.
	She needs to rotate to achieve it.
	But I mean, for me, this is basically just what Sam Hyde up to.
	Yeah.
	Because he is an incredibly entertaining guy, even at the worst of times.
	So he's been having some fun, which has been impressive to see.
	He's also getting really into the boxing career by the looks of it.
	We'll get into that.
	It's not just sparring, but picking fights with the fridge.
	If you get the next one here, we can see more of Sam living his life, being freaky.
	As he does.
	And also, he seems to be as mental as ever in the next tweet.
	We can see that.
	Which is him sparring ghosts.
	Because, I don't know, bored.
	Paranormal activity in fish tank.
	Yeah.
	The next one here, he also is engaging cleaning up the place because the fish aren't cleaning up.
	So he decided to come in with a weed whacker and start cleaning up for them at like 9 in the morning.
	Let's play that.
	Wake up, wake up, wake up.
	That's what you want to be working up with.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Dad, no!
	You're trying to sleep!
	It's time to weed-whack the kitchen.
	Because of course it is.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, helping out on clean-up duty, as he is.
	He's also on cabinet-remover duty, it turns out.
	Because the cabinets, they've got to go.
	Let's play.
	Let's play that.
	Ooh, shit.
	Oopsie.
	We're gonna bust up a whole room full of cabinets.
	I don't think so.
	Why is he doing that?
	Is he teaching them consequences or something?
	He's just bored.
	I love how he says it though.
	Sorry, man.
	I didn't know that would happen.
	Let's break some furniture.
	Let's just pick fights with the cabinets.
	Okay.
	I mean, again, I'm not one for reality TV.
	I never really sat around watching Big Brother or all the other crap that existed in the early 2000s.
	I never just went on YouTube to just see the fights where they were cursing at each other and shouting for literally no reason.
	Yeah, but I mean, this, I think, has already been better than that, even though I'm not a fan of this sort of thing.
	Even for no other reason than just see Sam be a lunatic.
	I mean, frankly, there probably should just be 24-7 Sam cam.
	That's what I want.
	Like, I just want to see how he lives his life.
	Because I'm still not entirely sure if he's a character or a real person because of how kind of crazy he is.
	Yeah.
	But in a good way.
	In a good way.
	That's a hell of a punch as well.
	Good job.
	That cabinet deserved it.
	Anyway, he's also picking fights with the Fridge, as I mentioned.
	You can see here.
	The Fridge was coming right at him.
	So, yeah.
	Fridge has to go as well.
	The Fridge disrespected him.
	Yes.
	And he won't take it.
	No one disrespected his queen.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right there.
	He demands satisfaction.
	Yeah.
	And, um, well, the thing is, looking at this, I'm not sure that it's just for memes, even though memes are good.
	I think this is actually him trying to train this guy, John, this character over here, because you can see he's around for all the punching sessions.
	There's also a lot of footage of him endlessly working out in the garage for no reason, like as a punishment or something.
	He's the chosen one.
	Yeah, I don't know if Sam's decided that, well, if I can't fight Hasan Piker, I will train the boy who shall.
	Because, if we go to the next one here, we can see him training with his kid, which is just fun.
	There we are, just getting kicked in the face.
	Nice.
	And also, you can see Sam giving John speeches.
	If you go to the next one here, I think that's Jason there actually, but if we go to the next one, we'll play this.
	This is a motivational speech that Sam decided to give to John.
	Let's play the clip.
	John, how you doing in there, buddy?
	Because I'm about to give you a motivational speech through the door.
	I'll tell you this, John.
	In any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die who's going to get that inch.
	That's from any given Sunday.
	Shymanski.
	Just some contestant.
	Real interesting.
	Ignore him.
	Yeah.
	That's fish tank, John.
	And we either kill him now, as a tank, or we die.
	I'll leave you with that, my brother.
	Hold it down.
	I'll be praying.
	I don't know, just part of me is suspicious that this is all a ruse to get Hasan Piker again.
	Except he's going to train someone else to beat him up because Hasan's too much of a sissy boy to go and fight Sam, but then who wouldn't be?
	Also, in between all of this madness, there's some other fun.
	There's the hot dog eating competition here, for example.
	Which, um... I'm not even sure the hot dogs were cooked.
	So... No, that would be next level... bad thing.
	Can you eat uncooked hot dogs?
	I never tried and I never will.
	I mean, I know how hot dogs are made out of ears and assholes and, you know, parts of the pig you don't really... All the bad stuff.
	But I mean... Can that... What?
	You can tempt me.
	You can tempt me.
	No, but you know how hot dogs look?
	They don't look like raw chicken.
	No, they don't.
	But I'm wondering, can you... No, surely that'll kill you, right?
	It is raw meat.
	It will kill you.
	Raw pork.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	We'll find out.
	We'll find out.
	Tune in to the next episode of The Low Sears and...
	New hot dog eating competition.
	Anyway, we go to the next one.
	We can see the views are actually pretty good as well.
	You just see here him boasting that he's got 57,000 views.
	A peak active users there.
	Which, for a paid service, oh boy.
	Turns out it's also not cheap to keep running.
	I don't know if he's even making anybody off this.
	I hope so.
	Because he tweeted out that he's paying like 10 grand a day.
	Keep this up.
	Okay.
	A crappy reality TV show.
	That's a lot.
	Yeah.
	It's like on his 11th day as well.
	That's over 110 grand.
	It's 13th day.
	He's going up to, what, 200 grand soon?
	Expenses?
	Yeah.
	What did you produce?
	The best TV known to man.
	That's all we find out.
	You can see here... We should come up with a crazier reality thing and market it.
	I'll compare him.
	But he mentions here, like, he thought he was banned by Google because the whole thing went down.
	He thought he was paying, you know, 30 grand every month and it turned out, no, it's 30 grand every three days.
	So, um, kind of, kind of need some cash.
	Keep that going.
	Anyway, there was also some speculation, because about the time the fish tank was blowing up, you see the two boys got fired from their jobs.
	It would be really funny to have them as guest commentators on the show.
	I mean, you know that crappy one with celebrities?
	Which one?
	I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.
	No.
	You don't know that?
	No, no.
	It's a reality TV show, you take a bunch of British celebrities, or not really celebrities but people know their name, like politicians or something, and you shove them in a jungle in Australia and make them eat kangaroo testicles and crawl with spiders.
	That should be fun.
	I mean, it's good fun when a politician's doing it.
	Yeah.
	You just see, yeah, you chow down, you piece of... Anyway.
	And they've got Anton Deck as, like, the two commentators.
	It would be funny to have Tucker Carlson and, um, Limon over there become besties again.
	New episode of Crossfire.
	Eh, not gonna happen, though.
	Because the closest thing to politics I've seen on this show is just John giving some sermons against liberalism.
	Okay.
	You're the next one here.
	We can see that.
	Where he's talking about how, um, equal rights are, uh, wrong.
	And, uh, tacky child support.
	He also started giving sermons where he's just quoting the Bible ad nauseam to the cameras.
	Ezekiel 2517.
	Sorry?
	From Pulp Fiction, where he, you know, it's the quote that Samuel Jackson was quoting before he shot people.
	I don't know if he's got that yet.
	Maybe that'll be the finale.
	Okay.
	But there's that.
	And, um, well, what are the reviews, I guess, is something we should look at?
	Well, we have Shaun Head's review, which is that it's great.
	It's like Big Brother, but you can harass the contestants and everyone's autistic.
	I will admit, that is an improvement to the formula.
	I mean, if you could pay a hundred bucks and say some heinous things to some politician stuck in a reality TV show, that would be pretty good.
	So, I don't know.
	If the TV world wants to keep up, that's what you gotta do.
	There's also Keemstar, he made a review, which I suppose we'll read.
	Which is, Sam Hyde would win an award with Fishtank, reality TV show, 10 out of 10.
	I don't really know what to make of all of this.
	I just know that this is a weird moment in internet history and not enough people seem to be taking note of it.
	Probably because it's kind of retarded, which is fair.
	But at the same time, there are some pretty goddamn funny moments.
	Like, yeah, I want to see Sam Hyde pick fights with the cabinets.
	Yeah, I want to see Sam Hyde box with some people and then accidentally kind of, you know, hurt them.
	I did see there was a lot of skits of him talking before of names where he's like, how do I legally beat the crap out of this person?
	Yeah.
	I was like, ah, find them on the show and then spar with them.
	But whatever.
	This is his life now.
	Look at the mess they've done.
	Yeah.
	But I mean, better than the usual reality TV show, that's for sure.
	And if it is a ploy to get Hasan Piker in the ring with John, that's a good long-term strategy and I'm looking forward to it.
	Anyway, that's what Sam Hyde's been up to.
	Right.
	Okay, now let's go and talk about Gavin Newsom being obsessed with Ron DeSantis.
	Now, lately, California Governor Gavin Newsom has traveled to various states to promote the political agenda of the Democrat Party.
	And it seems to me that this is an effort to boost his public image as one of the future contenders for the for the leadership of the Democratic Party.
	Now, he says he's not going to seek that position right now, so his eyes must be in 2028.
	And I won't say that he shows a strange obsession with Ron DeSantis, and he constantly talks and tweets about DeSantis, and it's quite fun sometimes.
	Now, before we say more about this, you can visit the website.
	And just for as little as five pounds a month, you can have access to all our premium contents, such as the latest video of the Symposium series, Aristotle's Politics Part One.
	Here I'm discussing with Harry various aspects of Aristotle's philosophy, especially his defense of private property and his disappointment at Spartan women.
	He thought they weren't really good and supportive.
	Now, back to our topic.
	There was a really fun tweet by Kevin Dalton who says, in the past week Gavin Newsom has tweeted 22 times.
	21 tweets about the GOP, Florida, North Dakota, fundraising for Biden, Texas, Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee and Missouri.
	Only one tweet about California.
	Oh, why would you really?
	Where do I live?
	No, let's not talk about that.
	I don't think that California is on the best of states it has been.
	Maybe it was better.
	People are fleeing the state en masse.
	It's a sign it's not going well.
	And I think that one of the places where they go is Florida and Texas, for instance.
	I think that they are They have politics that Gavin Newsom is not very much fond of.
	Now, he was recently interviewed on MSNBC by Jen Psaki and he has a sort of half an hour, 35 minutes interview.
	I watched it and I paid attention to it.
	I won't show everything to you.
	I'll show you some clips and it would be fun to discuss them.
	Now, let's see.
	I don't get why everybody's not doing what we're doing.
	I don't understand it.
	Do people understand?
	It's not just about Mar-a-Lago.
	It's not just about what's happening in Washington, D.C.
	or what's happening in the New York court with a district attorney.
	There's something deep and serious that's happening across this country.
	All the progress the last half century is being rolled back In these states, in real time, in just the last few years, I don't think people fully understand the rights regression, individual liberties, on civil rights, on voting rights, on the gerrymandering that's happening out here, on just the assault on the African-American community, the assault on the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans community, the number one issue of the day, it seems to be getting rid of the word Latinx in Arkansas, and number two, getting rid of drag shows.
	It's a serious moment in American history.
	Okay, so basically what are you... What a rewriting of How the World's Gone!
	It's like, you know all this nonsense we made up five minutes ago?
	Yeah.
	The Republican Party have really reneged on this stuff.
	Yes.
	Like ten years ago, the really pro-trans rights and Latinx... didn't exist!
	So all the progress has been rolled back according to Gavin Newsom.
	So basically what he says, he is traveling to combat the authoritarianism of red states.
	As you see, he plays into the victimization narratives.
	He thinks that the right regresses on all Aspects of individual liberties and if you will read a bit or check this interview, you will see that he constantly talks about the assault on free speech and the idea that the voices of people are not taken seriously and that people in red states are afraid that their voices don't matter.
	And it was kind of weird because I want to say something about what he is doing in California about free speech.
	Let's look at this tweet.
	He says, Happy Library Week, California.
	Here are some facts the GOP don't want you to know.
	2022 was the highest number of attempted book bans on record for the American Library Association.
	It was a 75% jump from 2021.
	Make no mistake.
	This is an organized effort.
	Now if we could scroll down a bit on the responses and actually it's the next link yes if you see it's for instance one of these is the genderqueer one the images are blared but there is obvious pornographic material and I think that it's full of gay porn yeah which I don't know.
	I think it's a really weird moment when, because I saw it was like Chelsea Clinton was tweeting about this as well.
	Yes, exactly.
	And the Clintons in Newsom are all like, you know what we need in schools?
	More gay porn for the kids.
	Exactly.
	And he thinks that... That's your platform?
	Yes.
	And just by saying that people don't like this being taught to children that don't like stuff, having the authority, let's say, to talk about this... You know what you do?
	You hate gays if you don't want gay porn in front of the kids.
	You'll see that they have a better, they have a more, another thing, they say that it's Christian white supremacist nationalist.
	So if you don't want this, according to Gavin Newsom, you're a nationalist Christian white supremacist.
	If you can go in the next link on an article by Free beacon.
	I won't read it all.
	Don't worry.
	It says silencing debate California Democrats block hearing on transgenderism in schools due to fear of hateful rhetoric Now, let me read the bit.
	So he says April 10th California Democrats this week blocked a hearing for a bill that would require schools to inform parents if their children begin using different pronouns Claiming debate over the bill would provide a forum for increasingly hateful rhetoric now What is delicious about this is that he and Democrats with him, US Democrats, they actually concede that parents are against it.
	If they thought that the majority was with them, they would allow people to speak, they would clap and they would say the people have spoken, but they really know that the majority is against them.
	And it's weird because on the one hand they present themselves to be pro-dialogue and they present themselves to be pro-free speech, but it's only when they get to speak and only when their speech is on the line.
	They show here their paternalistic face and basically they're talking down to parents who will say, well, maybe we want to have a say on how our children are educated.
	So the rationale is very paternalistic.
	It goes like this.
	We know that if we allow parents to debate that with school faculty, parents will disagree, but no respectful procedure is required.
	U.S.
	Democrats know best, so let us silence debate.
	Now let's go to the next link.
	There's another article that was published yesterday.
	The previous one was about a month ago.
	It says, California bill would require books on all gender expressions in every elementary school.
	Let me just read a bit.
	California Democrats are advancing legislation that would require elementary schools to provide students access to books about radical gender ideology and other progressive causes, an effort to push against the National Christian White Supremacist Movement, according to the bill's author.
	Is that a quote?
	Yep, that's a quote, literally.
	You can see there, the first paragraph, National Christian White Supremacist Movement.
	I think this says it all.
	These people don't know what any of these words mean or don't care.
	So look at how we jump from disagreement with something that is especially about people's children and people are guaranteed to be sentimental about that.
	Democrats are moving from disagreement to that straightforwardly into national Christian white supremacist movement.
	It's interesting how Christians become a slur as well.
	Yeah, but only Christians, not other religions.
	No.
	And for some reason, we only hear Democrats talking about the censor that people who are, let's say, Christians and associated with Christianity, they call for, but we don't listen to them talk about other religions who want to ban Expression and you know what I'm getting.
	So if we go to the next link, we'll just see this the we know this book.
	It's called I am jazz.
	It's co-written by Jessica Hersch Herthel and just Jennings.
	If we scroll down a bit, we will see that the read the appropriate reading age in Amazon for this book is four to eight years.
	So I think that if Apparently if you think that this is too young for people to be reading this, Gavin Newsom most probably and the Democrats would call you a Christian white supremacist nationalist.
	What's in this book?
	It's the story of Jazz Jennings who allegedly from two years old said that I'm transgender.
	Oh great.
	Yeah, a very wholesome story.
	Yeah, two years old.
	And usually speaking, when children are two years old, they don't know anything, let alone being able to conceptualize something like that.
	But for some reason, this is a book that is required to schools by By many.
	Okay.
	Now, back to the article.
	Books about people of all gender expressions would be required in every public and charter school according to the current text of the bill.
	To remove any potentially inappropriate materials, schools would first have to ask the state's permission, but certain religious books could be ditched without governmental approval.
	It represents an escalation of Democrats' nationwide efforts to advance teaching of progressive ideology in schools.
	In response to growing pushback against their agenda, driven by parents and championed mostly by Republicans, Democrats have tried to portray their opponents as bigoted authoritarians.
	So, there are two points here of sophistry that I want to point out, and it goes like this.
	Now, first is, when you pretend you're open to dialogue, I'll never be tired of saying this, you can't pretend to be open to dialogue on the one hand and demonize any position that disagrees with you.
	And point number two, because right now they're trying to make the argument that the right wing is in favor of banning books, we are pro-free speech, so we are in favor of that.
	Yes.
	You want to ban gay porn for kids?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Any porn, really, for kids.
	So, the point is, you can have indoctrination without book banning.
	I'm just thinking, for instance, of the Marxist paradigm.
	They could be saying that, you know, you can read all these books that, you know, they were non-Marxist, but we have essentially planted, we have brainwashed you into believing that all of these were, let's say, people who were blind to their Class prejudices and somehow Marx comes along and gives us all the answers.
	So you can indoctrinate people and you can engage in brainwashing without even banning books.
	So the argument that right now they are not trying to brainwash people because they're not banning books does not hold water.
	Now if we go to the next clip where Gavin Newsom talks about DeSantis.
	Now, you mentioned Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
	I do often.
	I know you've watched him a little bit over the course of the last couple of years.
	Not a fan.
	He has had some responses of late that have been hugely problematic, offensive, dangerous.
	I mean, one of them was going after the Manhattan No, I thought he looked weak.
	echoing the language of former President Donald Trump with that threatening language, suggesting Democrats are weaponizing the judicial system.
	But you also are a very astute political guy.
	Do you think that is smart politics in the Republican primary?
	No, I thought he looked weak.
	He just looked weak.
	Weakness masquerading at strength.
	I watched all the folks out there, the Roger Stone types, all those MAGA guys, outraged and upset that DeSantis was a little slow being critical when the threat of indictment was first exposed by Trump himself.
	And they said, here's what he should have said.
	And there he goes, comes back a few days later and literally parrots it.
	Weakness masquerading as strength.
	You saw that.
	Where the new sheriff in town is no longer Rhonda Sheriff, it's Mickey Mouse.
	M-I-C-K-E-Y.
	Weakness masquerading as strength.
	All of Rhonda Santa's triumphs are about demeaning and bullying vulnerable communities.
	So one thing connects them all in common.
	Weakness masquerading as strength.
	So if you are not advising Governor DeSantis, I know that, but what is his political path here?
	Should he be running away from criticizing Trump?
	Should he be speaking up for the rule of law?
	He's going to get rolled by Trump.
	Trump's just going to roll him.
	Thumped.
	I honestly, if I were offering him political advice, I'd tell him to pack up and wait a few years.
	And actually do some of the hard work, which actually includes governing, not just identity and cultural work.
	Actually go back and actually start to address some of the insurance issues, start to address some of the cost issues, and particularly cost of housing.
	These are very familiar.
	I'm very humbled by all of this.
	I understand the systemic trouble.
	I'm the first to acknowledge.
	I'm my own worst critic.
	I'd be working on some of those, basically.
	Sorry, I can't get over it.
	A guy whose state is on fire and no one wants to live in it, versus a guy who everyone is moving to.
	He's doing things bad, he should try governing his own state.
	Yeah, he should go to governing.
	The guy who's doing it well, way better than you, people actually want to live there, he really needs to learn a thing or two from you, buddy.
	It's just delusional.
	Would you get political advice from Gavin Newsom?
	No.
	I wouldn't either.
	So plenty of things to talk about here.
	We will address them.
	But as you pointed out, that was really funny.
	It's just Gavin Newsom talks to Ron DeSantis to, you know, stop engaging in culture wars, do some governing.
	And, you know, I think it's the exact opposite that DeSantis should tell them to do some governing.
	Now, let's watch the next clip.
	Power and control, dominance and aggression.
	Boy, those are themes you're hearing from these Republican governors.
	Power, dominance, and aggression.
	Where's the empathy, care, collaboration, partnership?
	Doesn't exist, doesn't persist right now.
	And that's the core of this.
	And, you know, representative democracy, it's a rather damn galling way these things are redistricted.
	All these things are connected in that hierarchical structure.
	And by the way, you really start to appreciate that's not some new construct when you're here in the South.
	You start to understand the systemic sides of this.
	Sorry, Ron DeSantis.
	You know, AP, African American Studies, some indoctrination.
	Really?
	How about some illumination?
	I feel like my brain is dribbling out of my ear.
	Yeah, that's exactly why I put the segment together.
	So, the thing is, he's talking about these studies, various studies that DeSantis is often very critical of.
	The thing is, there are some people who have put forward very, very, very radical positions, such as, all white people are bad, and they are teaching that, and very few people speak against it.
	That's illumination, man!
	Now, I found an old clip yesterday.
	It's by someone called Colby Gambon, and let's see the illumination that he is preaching.
	Now, how do I know that the white people know that we are going to come up with a solution to the problem?
	I know it because they have retina scans, they have what they call racial profiling, DNA banks, and they're monitoring our people.
	to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one idea.
	And the one idea is how we are going to exterminate white people.
	Because that, in my estimation, is the only conclusion I have come to.
	We have to exterminate white people off of the face of the planet to solve this problem.
	Now, I don't care whether you clap or not, but I'm saying to you that we need to solve this problem because they are going to kill us.
	And I will leave on that.
	So we have to just set up our own system and stop playing and get very serious and not be diverted.
	Liberia, Rhodesia, uh, you can go and check it out.
	What?
	Okay, so what sort of position do you think this person occupied?
	Oh, a perfectly reasonable one.
	What average centre-left democrat?
	I don't know where you get that.
	No, but I mean institutional position.
	That person was a professor in Florida, a psychology professor, and he was, I think, chair of the department.
	During his 30-year career at Florida A&M University, he held the role of department chair from 1985 to 1997, where his research has been particularly influential in areas relating to African black psychology, cultural survival in the face of cultural oppression and mental health.
	So, he was in Florida, okay?
	Ron DeSantis thinks that these things are a bit extreme and they shouldn't be taught, and he is engaging in aggressive legislation to try to prevent these people from spreading forth this message.
	So it doesn't seem to me to be illumination.
	It's illumination, man.
	No.
	It's the Enlightenment, the Second Coming.
	And one thing, if you noticed, Gavin Newsom was talking about structure and systemic affairs, how the whole system has been rigged against some positions.
	And we should end the talking about this particular video, we'll continue with other stuff, by this delicious clip.
	Why not?
	I mean, you know, I'm with Justice Brandeis.
	In a democracy, the most important office, he never said governor or president, he said the most important office is the office of citizen.
	So yeah, if that's the worst case, I get to retire into that, I'm all for it.
	Because I want to be in peril not to be judged and not have lived.
	We all have agency.
	We can shape the future.
	I say this all the time.
	We sit in an Arkansas, someone came up to me, amazing, a young activist, and she goes, we're not victims.
	And it just resonated with me.
	We're not.
	It's decisions, not conditions that determine our fate and future.
	We have agency.
	We are our behaviors.
	Do you think he doesn't know if he's a Republican or not?
	Maybe too much preoccupation with DeSantis has messed him a bit?
	We have on the one on the same interview the same person talking about this you know structural injustices and everything is determined by structure and when everyone says well no we should talk like people we should think of people individuals and their actions and their individual responsibility it's structural racism and structural injustice but now Just all it had.
	It was a moment of illumination.
	Members of a certain community, when they make their decisions, that's systemic racism against them.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Now, the thing is, why is he obsessed with DeSantis?
	Let's watch DeSantis phrasing his position in his own words.
	We have embraced freedom.
	We have maintained law and order.
	We have protected the rights of parents.
	We have respected our taxpayers.
	And we reject woke ideology.
	We fight the woke in the legislature.
	We fight the woke in the schools.
	We fight the woke in the corporations.
	We will never ever surrender to the woke mob.
	Florida is where woke goes to die.
	So the thing is that he, the main thing with DeSantis is that he works more than he talks.
	And Democrats are hell-bent on presenting him as weak and as having no chance to win.
	The thing is that he's effective.
	He is aggressive with legislation.
	I don't mean that in a bad way.
	I mean that he means business.
	Everyone agrees with that.
	He's against ESG.
	He recently signed A law preventing the purchases of land by the CCP in Florida.
	And he is very tough on law and order affairs.
	If we check his tweet about his recent legislation, Yep, we have this.
	He says, that was from two days ago, May the 1st, 2023.
	Says, today I signed legislation that will make child rapists eligible for the death penalty with a minimum sentence of life in prison without parole.
	Impose additional penalties on fentanyl and drug-related crimes targeted at children.
	Protect Floridians from disastrous bail reform policies.
	And you can check his tweet and at the end he says, while crime is spiraling out of control in many other parts of this country, Florida is enacting policies that are tough on crime and as a result Florida is at a 50-year crime low.
	So the thing is that it seems to me that Democrats are targeting.
	We have two further clips.
	I don't think we have time to show them.
	But so we won't talk about this.
	But I was recently watching an interview by Victor Davis Hansen, who was interviewed by Stephen Edgington.
	And Hansen was saying that There's an issue with Biden, of course.
	There are plenty of issues with Biden.
	But the point is that last time in 2020, Biden had the excuse of COVID and he couldn't campaign.
	So now he won't have that excuse.
	So what Democrats are trying to do is they're trying to basically prevent the match between Biden and DeSantis, because DeSantis is young, and Biden is basically not on the best of he has ever been.
	And he was saying that if you check this interview, he says on the on the later bit, can we actually play clip to the?
	Yep.
	Yep.
	You can already see what the media is doing here in this country.
	They're running ads.
	Excuse me.
	Biden's not running very many ads, but their narratives on the local news and national and state news is that Trump really wasn't that bad of a guy.
	That he's now running to the left of DeSantis because DeSantis is a hard right counter-revolutionary.
	It's dangerous.
	But Trump, he's reasonable on abortion.
	He's reasonable on Disney Corporation.
	He's reasonable on Social Security.
	And so what they want to do is what they did in 2016.
	They build him up And then once he gets a nomination they flip and they use lawfare, money, the media to destroy it.
	I think he has a point there.
	That right now they try to sort of talk against DeSantis in order for Trump to win the Republican primaries and then to hit him with all the legal stuff.
	So just one thing and to end with what Gavin Newsom was talking about, his sort of political advice to Ron DeSantis.
	I think that basically DeSantis should run.
	It's going to be a very big mistake for himself if he doesn't.
	He has a sort of hype.
	Many people think that he is presenting something different to Trump.
	If he does not run, I think that his image will be hurt and his image will appear as if he will not appear as leadership material.
	He will not appear as a challenger to the position.
	And I think that even if he loses, It won't be so bad for him.
	It could be an honorable loss because he would still have, he will still have in that occasion, two extra years of governorship of Florida to maintain the hype and possibly come back after, if he loses, possibly come to the next Republican primaries, possibly in 2028.
	So I think he doesn't have something significant to lose if he runs.
	And he only has to win.
	The question seems to be to be when.
	That's it.
	Let's have some fun.
	I'm happy as Larry right now.
	So I'm incredibly happy about all this.
	The news being that BuzzFeed and Vice both get in the bullet and I am...
	Now, I'm not going to pretend to be slightly upset about anyone's career here.
	I am pretty darn happy.
	And the reason being that, well, Carl will say to me usually whenever there's some big bust up, you know, some left-wing media outlet goes bust and people lose their jobs.
	And he won't actually get all that happy about it, because he'll be like, well, you know, it's still sad, all these people losing their jobs.
	That could be us one day or something.
	No.
	No, it isn't, because there's a difference between people losing jobs where, you know, it's the economy or whatever, And then complete scumbag liars who spend the position of power that they had for a brief moment doing the worst possible things they could and trying to destroy friends of mine.
	And frankly, those people can go to hell.
	I don't care.
	I have absolutely no such sympathy for them.
	And the reason they tried to destroy friends of mine, their lives, try and make them homeless and get rid of their income streams, was because they had a political disagreement.
	They disagreed with you politically.
	So I'm going to get you demonetized on YouTube and make sure you end up, you know, because you're completely unemployable because of all the smear pieces I've run against you, Dankula, then we're going to try and destroy your life.
	A human being who does that, especially to someone like Count Dankula, who did nothing wrong, It's just beyond the pale, in my opinion, for any kind of sympathy.
	I don't have it.
	I don't have it in me, and I'm not going to pretend I do.
	And we'll start off by promoting something on LotusEats.com, being Susan Wojcicki, explaining why she ruined YouTube, which was a bad move.
	But Susan is the kind of person who messed up because she got her own feelings involved and decided that YouTube should not be a place where you have fun, but instead where I tell you what you should see, which was bad.
	But she was not an evil individual trying to purposely ruin people's lives because they disagree with him politically.
	I mean, just grow up.
	Just grow up for Christ's sake.
	But these people were.
	Because if we go to the next one here, we have BuzzFeed and the news there.
	They're going to hell, which couldn't have come soon enough.
	Not even slightly upset about it.
	I mean, the disdain that journalists have in all of the Anglosphere I mean, I can't think of a single Anglo nation that doesn't just hate their journo class.
	It's because of the actions the journos took and earned that hate with those actions.
	This has not come out of the ether, where suddenly everyone was like, you know what, I hate news.
	You know what I hate?
	News.
	People telling me what's going on in the world.
	I can't stand those folks.
	The Town Crier.
	I mean, everyone hated him, right?
	No.
	No, it was these types of individuals who decided, what is my job and this position of privilege I have of being able to work at BuzzFeed?
	Well, that's to ruin people and their families.
	That's what they thought their jobs were, and I can prove it.
	I mean, we have the names.
	We'll start off here with the news, coming from this article here, saying, On top of the usual folk wisdom about traffic and audiences and news and scoops, it was colour-coded in the stats attached to every post and scored as a metric called Viral Lift.
	Social traffic was good traffic, created and validated by readers choosing to share the articles.
	The rest of the traffic, from searches and portals, are dead, but ever-growing front page sites.
	Nonsense.
	Might as well have been fake.
	So the point was, share the stuff.
	If it shares a lot, it's good.
	People see it on the front page, it doesn't matter.
	Someone reads it, it doesn't matter.
	What we're here for is viral lift.
	And this is the thing that made BuzzFeed cancer.
	Because they were no longer interested in, was it good?
	Was it good content?
	Did it help people?
	No.
	What was interesting is it got viral lift.
	So if you make a smear place...
	Clickbaiting.
	Yeah, and this is where you get the nonsense of rage bait.
	Where I do a terrible thing and then publish it, and oh look, there's all these views on the terrible thing I did.
	So yeah, I mean, if you kill a bunch of kids, you'll be on the news, a lot of people will know your name, but you're a scumbag.
	Like, you kill kids!
	So if you do something terrible on the internet, like, oh, I don't know, trying to get YouTubers their entire lives ruined, and then boast about it, how you were so successful at doing it, and you get a bunch of, uh, I don't know, normal people who are watching this and being like, what the hell's wrong with you?
	That's not good.
	You may have got a lot of eyeballs.
	That's because you're terrible.
	I just don't understand how they didn't seem to think this was going to be the end.
	BuzzFeed's sudden ascent had turned Jonah, one of the people in this article, who cares about, into someone of the industry's oracle, and what happened had been slippery.
	Evolving pitch to investors and interviewers turned into a new conventional wisdom for publishers, many of whom didn't seem to notice that BuzzFeed's actual news operation, not its list of quizzes and social clever media experiments, And blah, blah, blah.
	The other crap they did that no one cared about.
	You know, they're like, lol, funny, but who cares, right?
	No, the big bad that BuzzFeed did in the world was its newsroom.
	And they were saying, oh no, it's a traditional newsroom.
	The plan for its newsroom, this had always been a sensitive subject, was never clearly anything but a subsidiary of the organization, because it didn't make any money.
	Never made any money.
	No rich persons buying newspapers.
	I mean, I was shocked.
	If you're looking to invest, Yeah, news.
	Not one of them.
	It's just not really the big profitable place.
	Oil?
	That might be on the up and up.
	I don't know.
	But yeah, the idea here was that, no, you have a newsroom.
	What do you use it?
	Well, we use it to go after our political opponents because we have a disagreement.
	So let's destroy them instead.
	And we can see this.
	We've got a Count Dankula.
	I mean, this is him posting about it back in the day.
	Where BuzzFeed decided to run a bunch of smear jobs on him calling him nazi man blah blah blah and then being like how does he make money on youtube and then tagging youtube being like how can you how can you give nazi man money that's bad look he's nazi man how do we know this well we've written 10 articles calling him nazi man is that uh what's the law they say that ever if godwin's law Yeah.
	Well, I mean, he did do the whole Nazi punk thing, so that's not really Godwin's law there, but it's the point being that Dankula, decent guy, didn't do anything wrong.
	Buzzfeed came after him specifically because they just didn't like him and did try to destroy, well, they successfully destroyed his income stream on YouTube by getting him demonetized.
	Go to hell.
	Go to hell.
	I mean, he's just an awful human being, so he would do that to an innocent guy who's done nothing wrong.
	Oh, what did he do?
	Oh, he told a joke, did he?
	He told an itchy joke.
	It was too much for you.
	Piss in your pants over a, oh no, man-made joke on the internet.
	I'm sorry, these are not average people in industry who lose their jobs because of economic factors.
	These are people who, when they had a position of power, did the worst possible thing they could have.
	I mean, just go and after innocent people.
	Have you got the next one here?
	We also have TR, who got banned.
	Remember, they also went after him as well.
	You see that name, Mark Distar?
	Di Stefano which we'll come back to you can also have them going over Carl as well where they try to smear him constantly because of course little old Mark there again for some reason well Mark used to be one of the haired smear merchants this is literally all he did basically character assassination yeah for the purpose of trying to ruin people's livelihoods yeah that's a good job That's a good part of the world.
	Thanks for that.
	Really making the world a better place.
	Well, he ended up leaving that complete dumpster fire of an organisation and tried to get a proper job.
	He went to the Financial Times to actually write about things instead of just smear pieces and instantly got fired.
	I don't know if you remember this.
	No, but let's see.
	This is the guy who got Count Dankula demonetized.
	He went over to the Financial Times and then instantly joined a leading opposition group's Zoom call where they were doing layoffs and started live tweeting the layoffs that were not public.
	Oh, that's not good.
	So the Financial Times went, buddy, that's corporate espionage.
	You're fired.
	You can't do that.
	That's not within the ethics conduct.
	Well, they say something about people who don't like playing by the rules and... Yeah.
	But the point being that BuzzFeed attracted these kinds of terrible people, and as soon as they interacted with anyone else in the world, they actually had even the modicum of ethical standards that a mainstream newspaper does.
	I mean, they don't have much ethical standards.
	And even they were like, ugh, get out.
	We can't be dealing with you.
	And he had to leave.
	And of course, Vice is now, the news has come out that they're going the same way.
	They're going bankrupt.
	And, um, deserved.
	Deserved.
	If we go to the next one here, we can see that news there.
	That, um, Vice is said to be heading for bankruptcy.
	This is not confirmed, sadly.
	So the news here is that they used to be valued at 5.7 billion dollars.
	Which is pretty good.
	But then, by people on the inside, they say that the accounts are a tiny fraction of that now.
	Okay, Ripper Roo.
	Anyway, point being that they're looking for a buyer, so they might find one.
	If you have billions of dollars, don't give it to Vice.
	I don't know how many billionaires we have in the audience, but keep it.
	When would they want the name?
	It's more that, why would you want to resuscitate the local child rapist?
	Metaphorically here, like just the worst member of the media community.
	Oh, he's passing out, is he?
	He might die if you don't give him CPR.
	Oh, that's a shame.
	All right, bye.
	I just, I'm not... Good riddance.
	...in the slightest sympathetic.
	And the big thing for me here that makes me pissed off with Vice is, of course, and most people online, is Vice used to be good.
	That old meme.
	Because it's true.
	I mean, if you go back, just that article, just give us a scroll, because where you had the Vice building, it's a picture, and then the next picture is of Shane over here.
	Shane was an interesting guy.
	Yeah.
	He's one of the co-founders there.
	My advice, a lot of other people as well, who were good and interesting and ended up leaving.
	Which, um, I think if we had the list it would be too damn long, but you all know who you are.
	Thank you for your service.
	But if we go to the next one here, you can see Shane.
	I'm going to focus on Shane, because I just like some of Shane's videos especially.
	I mean, this is one of the old episodes, 11 years old now.
	North Korean labor camps.
	Okay.
	That's interesting as hell.
	And what is it?
	It's Shane on the Trans-Siberian Railway getting pissed as a bunch of Russian hoodlums come over, being like, trying to make friends.
	Average Russian interaction here.
	Bro, you're a Jew telling me to be nice.
	Funny.
	But they go to the North Korean labor camps and show off that they exist in Russia.
	Really interesting journalism.
	Really interesting on-screen interactions.
	Oh, look at how people cheer one another.
	Yeah, but- How they toast, bro.
	How are you?
	But if you go to the next one here, it's not just the North Korean stuff that everyone remembers.
	I mean, like this.
	I mean, that's the title, isn't it?
	The Cannibal Generals of Liberia.
	Yeah, I want to see the Cannibal Generals of Liberia.
	That's goddamn awesome.
	I want to check that out.
	And this is what made Vice the international darling of the early years of being really cool because it was actually interesting.
	And well- What happened?
	What happened?
	I wonder.
	Does it have to do with anything with an internal bureaucracy that went political and said... Well, people like Shane were taken off to off-screen roles, going to do stuff behind the scenes, boys, and then really reappeared.
	He was too busy not being on screen.
	And then you had the other people who, well, realized this is cancer because of the people in charge I'm leading.
	And fair enough.
	Because, well, what replaced this good content?
	Well it wasn't good content, it was bad content.
	You kept going to this restaurant and they kept giving you amazing meals and then they started feeding you gruel.
	Leftist gruel.
	The worst kind of gruel.
	We've got the next one here, we can see it.
	This is this doughboy over here.
	I don't know if you've seen this video.
	He's just actually pathetic, this individual.
	He went to a re-enactors event.
	I think this is in Kent or something.
	Yeah, give that a dislike.
	Give it a click.
	Screw that guy.
	This is the Reich re-enactors.
	And the whole thing is a bunch of re-enactors, some of them play the goodies, of course, the allies, and some of them play the baddies, the Axis.
	And he spends the whole time being like...
	Dressing as a Nazi, that's pretty edgy.
	Ooh, you could be a Nazi secretly, couldn't you?
	Ooh, isn't that pretty edgy?
	Sorry, if that's the level of journalism, this shouldn't have the position on the first place.
	On a journalistic level, obviously ridiculous, waste of time.
	Many a reaction video were made to this at the time being like, this is garbage.
	What is Vice doing?
	Yeah.
	Which is all fair.
	But on a side note, I just can't get over how this little dough boy is like, you know what?
	This organization that goes to North Korea and Liberia and hangs out with cannibals and communists and murderers.
	Yeah.
	Oh, you know what else is edgy?
	People wearing the Nazi uniform at a reenactment?
	Ooh, isn't that edgy?
	It's like, this is the most boring crap I've ever heard.
	It's like, I don't know, you're at a cocaine and hookers party, and some guy turns up and he's like, you know what, I'm gonna stay up past my bedtime.
	Are you now?
	Ooh, ooh, feeling spicy today, are we, son?
	Yeah, whatever.
	Just crap.
	Five spooky for me.
	There's also the next one here.
	This is more of the modern stuff of the stuff that replaced it, which is also crap.
	Oh, come on.
	Just the title.
	Yeah.
	Just see the title.
	I'm sure it's going to be bad.
	Yeah.
	Give it a dislike.
	Come on.
	No, don't give it a like.
	Give it a dislike.
	There we are.
	Do your service.
	As we are.
	Yeah.
	I mean, people can see the dislike ratios as well.
	They're not small.
	Here we have, for people listening, transphobic influencers are driving a violent groomer conspiracy.
	Decade of hate.
	I mean, you can already tell it's garbage.
	I mean, it's just gonna be garbage.
	And you can see the image here as well.
	There's some guy who looks like a sex offender sat in his basement telling you about how everything's fine, what the left is doing is okay, don't worry about your children.
	Yeah.
	And it's like, no, not convincing.
	Crap content as well.
	And also, What happened?
	What?
	Dudes, you used to go to Afghanistan in Ukraine.
	What the hell is this?
	You're sitting in your basement being like, you know what's actually also very cool and edgy?
	Dressing up in women's uniform and dancing with your cock out in front of kids.
	No, no bro.
	Not based.
	Cringe, in fact.
	Go home.
	Go to jail.
	Do not pass go.
	Maybe.
	What the hell's wrong with you?
	And they definitely try to present the other side as being behind it.
	Just look at the title, yeah.
	You know what we're going to do?
	We're going to go speak to the right-wingers who think that maybe you shouldn't dance with your cock out in front of kids.
	What should we do?
	We're editing this.
	What should we do with that footage?
	I don't know.
	Let's put some spooky music over the background.
	And then when it's the left-wingers, put some happy-go-fun music that's royalty-free.
	Or do one of those videos where they had people who were witnesses in some parties with a mask.
	They are witnessed.
	It's just comically bad even on the editing level, never mind the subject matter, never mind the journalistic integrity.
	And when you have that compared to the fellas who are going out to Sudan to go and hang out with the military and show you how that's going...
	I mean, I'd be embarrassed to be in the same organization.
	I mean, there's just such a depth between the people doing the interesting stuff there and Vice that was still... I mean, even to the end of it, there's one guy I follow who stayed with them and was going to, like, the Ukrainian conflict and hang out with neo-Nazis.
	That's cool.
	I want to see that.
	And then he did one where he went to Mali and hanged out with the French military hunting down jihadists on the front line.
	And then he went to Syria and hung out with ISIS.
	I mean, that's just, like, coolest thing in the world!
	And it's him showing you, yeah, this is what these people really believe first-hand, instead of the, like, dry BBC lecture to camera that they usually do.
	And then you're sharing space with this.
	Local man telling you that, you know, that groomer stuff?
	That's not really happening.
	I mean, it's just sad.
	And you can see the political bias just in the, like, search terms.
	I know it's a meme at this point, but it's not a wrong meme, is my point.
	If we go to the next one here, we can see there's a, you look at the far right, there's a tag there, of course.
	A lot of stories.
	Big old stories.
	50-something pages of stories, actually.
	There you are, 57 pages of stories.
	That was the far right.
	Just for one day.
	No, it's over there, period of articles.
	I'm surprised they didn't put more.
	But the point being that occasionally, yeah, they'll hang out with Ukrainian Nazis or American Nazis or something, and that's, you know, Nazis, fair enough.
	Kyle Rittenhouse?
	Um... No?
	Not really what I call the far right?
	He didn't allow himself to be killed.
	Yeah, that's far right.
	It's just embarrassing.
	I mean, and then Marjorie Taylor Greene is just like, OK, cringe.
	This is why you have your leftist reputation.
	And we can see even clearer if you just go and look up the far left term instead.
	You want to see how many stories in their entire history of vice?
	Three.
	No, there's a few more than that.
	There's one page.
	Which you can see, like, the original article there from 2015.
	And it said something about Greece, that last row.
	Yeah, because they actually would go and find some leftists.
	The penultimate row.
	I think this is back when there was no money.
	So there were some leftists doing the leftist thing.
	Yeah.
	Which they do.
	But it's just, okay, they stopped covering that in 2017 as well.
	It's like, right.
	Well, the far left has been normalized.
	The political bias is demonstrable and easy to demonstrate.
	I mean the funniest one back, well not funny, kind of cringiest, was when they did an interview with a local terrorist who was justifying terrorism after he shot a guy wearing a MAGA hat in the head for wearing a MAGA hat.
	And then they interview this dude, and the headline here is he acted in self-defense, I swear.
	The day after he did this interview, the police found him, you know, for murder, and told him to come out of the building with his hands up, so he opened fire on the police, as an innocent man would, who was pleading that he acted in self-defense, so the police shot him to death, of course.
	Anyway, it's just, yeah, this is how Vice became crap.
	I mean, just demonstrably.
	There's actually a fellow, the one I mentioned before, he published an article just before I went live.
	I didn't have time to add it, but I read it, in which he was mentioning that all of a sudden, after doing all the really edgy, cool stuff, what happened is they purged a bunch of the old journalists that had made them what they were, because they don't really need you anymore, and hired a bunch of corpos.
	Yeah.
	Okay, great.
	We've got some bodies.
	We need strategic vision now.
	We need to become a political organization.
	Yeah.
	Engaging in character assassination.
	Or just making up stuff, as you can see here.
	Are you familiar with bullets?
	Do you know how a bullet works?
	Yeah.
	I think most people, even outside of America, know what a bullet looks like.
	There it is.
	You know, you fire the whole bullet.
	Included.
	This is more bullet than normal bullets because it's, as you can see there, for people listening, we're looking at an image from a Vice article that says high caliber bullet poked out of one of the gates outside some shootout in Mexico.
	And not only have they got the bullet part of the bullet, they've got the rest of the bullet, you know, the bit that you don't fire, attached in the bullet hole.
	So what happened clearly is someone at Vice went to this place after the shootout, picked up a bullet, and shoved it in the hole for, I don't know, visceral representation?
	In case you didn't know, the holes were made by bullets.
	It's just embarrassing.
	Not to mention they would also just publish fake news.
	There is a game, there's one guy here who did play that game, where he just called Vice, made up something fake, and then they published it.
	Yep.
	You can see the story here being, we spoke to a guy who got his dick locked in a cage by a hacker.
	No, that didn't happen.
	100% fake.
	You are fools.
	I don't know how else to put it.
	But, if we go to the next one here, I mean... I mean, what would humanity do without Vice, though?
	Let's give them their hearing.
	The steel man position.
	Yeah.
	What would we do without such journalism as how to make breakfast with your vagina?
	I mean, I know this has also become a meme, rightly so, because as you purged all the interesting journos and hired a bunch of corpos, they wrote this.
	Janet J over here, who I don't think is ever going to go to Syria and do anything interesting, I think what she's going to do is write about making breakfast with her vagina.
	Which you should feel embarrassed to be next to.
	Maybe I'll read that article, just out of curiosity.
	No, don't.
	Go outside.
	Do something productive.
	No!
	Seize the day.
	Do nothing productive, and you will have done more than Janet.
	I think.
	We'll go to the next one because the meme is absolutely real.
	I mean, this has been shared for years, of course.
	You know, vice, then.
	I would go to the most war-torn places on Earth to expose the dirty politics.
	Now, 10 reasons why SpongeBob is homophobic.
	Yeah, this is real.
	Demonstrable.
	I'd like to show it.
	There's also CNN, who are not exactly the best and brightest.
	I just want to point out, this isn't a unique problem to BuzzFeed and Vice, who are like the up-and-comers in the internet age.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Like, all left-wing media is a cancer.
	This is a map of the British Empire in 1922.
	Stelios, as the non-British man, could you spot a problem or two, perhaps, with this elegant map put together by the finest scholars of CNN?
	Please tell me you can, or I'm going to be disappointed.
	Just tell me, because... Oh, come on!
	You see that big bit of Canada that's missing, for example, from the British Empire?
	I don't know, it's all of a sudden we own Indonesia for no reason?
	Saudi Arabia, that was part of the British Empire, wasn't it?
	Also, what was that, Burkina Faso?
	Or one of those African countries that no one can name?
	Oh, it is the one that no one can name, because you'll get banned.
	I'm very mixed with the dates.
	Yeah.
	It's just all kinds of wrong for some reason.
	I don't know why we own Italian Somalia as well.
	I take no responsibility for that.
	Point being, these people are crap at their jobs.
	They're not good at the best of times.
	And being a midwit who made that map is one thing.
	Being a scumbag who goes after Count Dankula to try and make his wife himself and his kids homeless is despicable.
	And I have no sympathy for that person.
	We'll get to the next bit, though, because I want to just promote some good journalism.
	Which is not by journalists.
	Community notes.
	I just saw the lady and... Yeah, you'd get disappointed.
	Yeah.
	And scared.
	No, so this is a tweet where we have, you know, the diversity hire at the White House saying that immigration's down 90%.
	It's an obvious lie.
	And you can see the community notes pointing out, that's an obvious lie.
	It's the truth.
	But the really messed up thing about this tweet here is not a lady tells lie at White House.
	If you scroll back up, Town Hall over here just presented this lie as truth.
	Here's a direct quote.
	I know we're meant to be journalists at Town Hall, but we're not going to bother.
	Yeah.
	We're not going to bother.
	No, instead we'll just parrot what the government says.
	And this is what too much of the media is.
	Just the government said this.
	So why the hell do you exist then?
	I could go and read that from the government website.
	And they do something worse.
	They engage in smearing.
	And for instance, they engage in smearing, smearing, smearing.
	And for instance, when people are proven innocent of what they were accused of, they just will have a short asterisk at the end of the page saying, well... If they could be warned.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But the whole... It's... What was Gable saying?
	Throw mud.
	Some of it will stick.
	Yeah, but the new frontier of journalism is not only not from the journalists but instead rando Twitter users doing community notes.
	It's also incredibly good, actually probably the best new form of journalism in our lifetimes.
	I don't think if anything he's ever going to get better.
	Because the structure of this is something no one has sat around and really appreciated how good.
	So I want to just sit around with you folks and appreciate it.
	Click on the next link here to see some more of that.
	Because we have... Oh, these guys again.
	Yeah, you know, the community notes coming in and being like, hang on a minute.
	Local man says he's not paid by the DNC but takes 200 grand by the DNC.
	I mean, I'd call that payment, but never mind.
	So, White House shill's getting exposed.
	Good news.
	If we go to the next one here, we have Reuters who decided to do an interview with Adolf from a Ukrainian regiment that named itself after the SS.
	He's a patriotic fellow, I'm sure.
	That's how they presented it.
	Community notes were like, hang on a minute, maybe Adolf over here is not just your average Ukrainian serviceman who's fighting for his independence.
	Maybe Adolf Not a very common name in Ukraine.
	Might have some other inspirations for why he's doing what he does.
	And as you can see there, get rekt, Reuters, you pathetic individuals, who would just be like, oh yeah, average Ukrainian man, Adolf McSwastika.
	It's like, no, that's not the average Ukrainian man, that's quite a small part of the average Ukrainian.
	Yeah, we'll get the next one here.
	We also have lying unions who are caught out in their lies.
	This is great.
	Just being like, I was arguing to open up the schools during the pandemic.
	Community notes?
	Not so, uh, agreeable.
	And with links to prove why she's wrong and she is a shill for shutting down the schools and ruining your kids' lives.
	We also have the Labour Party who have been caught this morning just making up stuff.
	I love this.
	This would never have happened before Elon Musk and everyone knows it.
	You have the Labour Party here being like, oh yeah, vote for us tomorrow.
	I think it's today when this goes out on YouTube with the local elections.
	Go out and vote if you want.
	Take your ID.
	Do the funny thing.
	I don't know.
	I'm not voting for LibLabCon, that's for sure.
	I really find it funny when I see Labour supporters trashing Starmer.
	oh, there was a community.
	No, I don't know where it's gone.
	Maybe it's not loaded properly or something, but there is one.
	It's just like, they're lying.
	Because the quote here is, yeah, we'll stop the rise in council tax and just the community knows.
	That literally can't be done if they win the local elections.
	I really find it funny when I see Labour supporters trashing Starmer.
	Yeah.
	It's just funny.
	But I just, I absolutely love that the new world of journalism is actually on your side.
	Here's the truth.
	And what is it made by?
	Is it made by the class of journos with their holy checkmarks?
	No, it's made by us plebs.
	Just us plebs collaborating on trying to find an accurate description of the truth.
	If you get the next one here as well, we can see something that is the absolute best and the reason that I am doubly happy today.
	Mehdi Hassan getting shat on by the community notes.
	A lot of people covered this, but I just don't want to.
	So if people are listening, he puts out this crappy clip where he says, white people kill other white people at almost the exact same rate black people kill other black people.
	In the United States, of course.
	Because he's moved over there, because he's a laughingstock in the UK.
	He says, and yet you never hear anyone complaining about white-on-white crime.
	Ah, for some reason.
	Those aren't the points of sage wisdom from Marr, they are classic racist dog whistles.
	and before musk this would have been another day another smear from some check mark who could get away with it because the system was on his side now look at that little community notes according to the fbi crime statistics oh boy uh turns out that no Yeah, it turns out black-on-black crime, quite a bit bigger, quite a bit more deadly, quite a bit more, I don't know, unrepresentative of the statistics?
	And white-on-white crime, not representative.
	In fact, whites far less likely to kill each other.
	There you are.
	According to the FBI.
	And the doubly cool bit about this, of course, is that community notes are anonymous.
	Yeah.
	So we can finally have difficult conversations that would never have been allowed before.
	I mean, he gets double community noted there, where he's tried to save it because he got community noted by posting some article being like, oh, look, the save, I swear.
	It's just a lie.
	And then you'll have people saying that this is all made up.
	No, instead you literally have everyone being like... No, I'm not saying people aren't there.
	I mean, I'm saying from the other side... Oh, maybe, but they've been completely drowned out by this new world of journalism and people being like, hmm, crime statistic posting time.
	And I thought we'd end this off with the best part, which is how butthurt Mehdi Hassan is, the most butthurt man on Drew Lane.
	As you can see here, he says, if you had any doubt the community notes would become another weapon of the right on Musk's Twitter, see the BS community note added to my Bill Maher clip after the MAGA folks demanded it.
	Okay, it makes a point that's irrelevant to the one I'm making about the rates of killing.
	And then he gets community noted again.
	The people being like, no, community notes aren't from the MAGA guys.
	It's literally by the community.
	We have to rate each other's stuff to make sure it's not one-sided.
	And, um, suck some eggs, you lying smear merchant.
	No, yeah, it is the case that black people in the United States are killing each other far more than white people.
	There's not people, is it?
	It's black men of a certain age and white men of a certain age that make up those numbers.
	But that conversation could never have happened, especially so publicly, and especially so in the face of the journo class before Musk.
	So there we have it.
	A lot of old media, legacy smear-murdering media, is dead, and the new version is literally just a community notes tab, which has done far more good for the world than those people ever did in their time of privilege.
	Good news.
	So Carl, I'd like to add one more thing about Texas and possibly another stop you could probably do while you're in London, short of all the stabbings that goes on there.
	But we used to have an embassy where you are at, and right now all that's left there is just a plaque.
	But back whenever we were a country, we did have an embassy there at one point.
	Obviously it was short-lived because, you know, we joined the Union.
	But yeah, another thing you can check out when you're in London.
	That's really cool.
	I kind of want to see that now.
	I have a Texan friend who tells me that Texans have a really strong consciousness as being Texans.
	They're really, yeah.
	And they have a site where they say they constantly compare the size of Texas with other states and other countries.
	Yeah.
	It looks like a Southern stately home as well.
	At least what's come up on my search here.
	That's awesome.
	I'm going to go check that out.
	Thanks.
	I was looking over the Lotus Eaters merch store and I couldn't help but notice a lack of Lotus Eaters pins or badges.
	Which is kind of sad because I like the idea that you can kind of put like a Lotus Eater lapel pin on and you know go around and basically strangers that also watch the show will see that you're a friend.
	It's gonna be like in that show Avatar where like all the Lotus Society people carry around that like secret Lotus tile that they show to each other to show they're on the same team.
	Already?
	I'll pass that on.
	Next one.
	Attempting to get to the bottom of the liar's paradox, Alfred Tarski uses logic and reason to analyse the problem.
	While I can't claim to understand it fully, he establishes an object language used for precision, and a meta-language used to describe and discuss the object language.
	Think of the field of logic as the object language, and natural language as how we talk about logic.
	Logic is a rigorously formalized language, whereas natural language has vagaries that allow flexibility.
	Tarski reaches the conclusion that formal languages cannot contain claims of truth, only comparison.
	It's the meta-languages that impose judgement.
	This has to do with the lyre paradox.
	It's a really mind-boggling thing to note.
	Yeah.
	Have to think about that.
	Well, thank you.
	Let's go to the next one.
	All right, today we'll actually look at the California state flower, which is the wild poppy, Eshinolza californica.
	And this is one that has these really beautiful kind of butterfly like petals in terms of how shiny they are.
	And one question I actually had is in the UK, do they still have a bunch of these in gardens?
	Because they brought a lot of seeds back in the 1800s.
	And here's something really interesting.
	I actually found this cool purple one.
	All right, neat.
	I don't know.
	I'm not good with the names of flowers.
	Sorry, it's not something I follow either.
	I was in Transnistria recently.
	I was walking around, I realized everyone had lovely flowers.
	Okay.
	I figured out that they're all growing turnips.
	Not turnips.
	Tulips.
	Tulips.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And then they all sell them.
	Yeah.
	Which doesn't really seem to make sense to me.
	It's like, if everyone's growing the same flower, you can't really... The market seems to be a bit oversaturated, but whatever.
	Maybe it's a symbol of luxury or something.
	Maybe.
	I just see an awful lot of them thrown at graves as well.
	So maybe, one way of getting your flowers for your grave, just grow them yourself.
	Alrighty, let's go to the written comments on the site.
	Oop, I've messed up my thingy-ma-bob.
	Give me two seconds.
	Come on.
	Come on, you're the Lone Scorch, I'm afraid.
	So Captain Charlie the Beagle says, great to see you back Callum, hope you had fun.
	Any word on how miles is?
	I'm not really allowed to talk about that because the Foreign Office said not to, so that's that.
	Annoying, but whatever.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle also says, this whole fish tank thing looks like a version of the Stanley Milgram experiment.
	It just proves how horrible people on the internet Thanks to anonymity, this seems to be something that would be more in Josh's interest.
	Maybe, I don't know, I don't think it's actually that mean.
	I mean, I think the meanness comes from Sam Hyde.
	The text of the speech is pretty tame, you know?
	I mean, there was one point, did I mention it about the camp guy?
	No, you didn't.
	So there's a guy there who was on, I think he's left.
	I don't even know what the allegations were, but apparently he did something when he was a camp counselor.
	Okay.
	So constantly, well, the other people found this out who were outside the show.
	So they started paying for text speeches constantly, like for a solid 10 minutes of comments just going, ha ha, what did you do at camp?
	Ha ha, anyone got any funny camp stories?
	What did you do?
	What was your favorite moment at band camp?
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	They just sat there in silence as they keep naming this guy over the text speech.
	He just sort of sat there like.
	Don't want to talk about it.
	It was a weird show though.
	It is.
	It is.
	Really weird.
	I don't know where it's going either.
	I don't really know what the point was, but it's good fun.
	Zen Chan says, somebody really has to ask how legal everything going on in Fishtank is.
	Like some of this genuinely is a bit unsettling.
	Nah, it's fine.
	Baystape says, I have a theory that Sam Hydes is a genius who's been demonically tortured by being surrounded by mere mortals for so long, torturing the rest of the world in return for his unearned punishment.
	A literal trickster god of autism.
	I'll be sure to pass it on!
	I don't think they will.
	I think Jon's going to have to step in, because Hassan's too much of a putty boy.
	fish tank but never really knew what it was.
	It seemed to be a bit odd for me but a nice window into someone's life at least.
	Inshallah Sam Hyde and Hassan will have their punch up soon.
	I don't think they will.
	I think John's going to have to step in because Hassan's too much of a putty boy.
	Joe DeBarque says how is this fish tank thing legal?
	It's just a TV show.
	How is torture legal?
	Well, actually there's worse than that.
	There's a place in America, I've seen a documentary about it, where this fella, he runs basically a torture experience.
	And you sign up, there's a waiver, where you sign on to basically he can do anything to you, any loss of life, not my fault.
	blah blah blah and then him and his crew what they do is they torture you so they'll they'll make like uh they'll tie you down put spiders on you they'll they'll like waterboard you for a bit uh set bits of you on fire you know stuff like that um put clamps on you whatever it appeals to masochists it yeah i think the worst things Electrocution, the whole thing, whole shebang.
	And the point is, I think you go for 24 hours.
	That's what you sign up for.
	And no one's been able to ever do the 24 hours.
	It's been going for years.
	So the game is that people keep going there and signing up.
	There's a woman who's been like five times.
	Keep trying to get that 24-hour achievement, because then you get a prize, but no one knows what the prize is.
	How is this legal?
	Well, I mean, if you sign the contract, we can organise something for you, if you want.
	You wanna do it?
	No?
	Alright.
	ArizonaZazzatRat says, Yeah, that show is just weird.
	Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
	Nothing either.
	Friggin' moment.
	Weird friggin' moment in internet history.
	George Hap says, In regards to the recent collapse of BuzzFeed and Vice, I must take exception to the learn-to-code mockery.
	The tech industry already has enough diversity hires and HR parasites.
	We don't need any more.
	Send those theoretical people to the uranium mines.
	Yep.
	Right.
	I don't think they can get away with being diversity hires in the Iranian mines.
	No, you can't.
	Actually coal mining, that everyone's... Okay, Gavin Newsom and DeSantis.
	So, America's in hospice care.
	I live in Florida.
	I can state that many Floridians do not want DeSantis to run in 2024.
	Not because we don't like him, we adore him, but it's because we just gave him a second term and the American leftists Our hell-bent on overrunning Florida and wrecking our state.
	Our values, our morals and our way of life as they, leftists, absolutely hate us.
	DeSantis is needed here to finish putting Florida in a position that can withstand the future attacks leftists are waiting to unleash against Florida the moment DeSantis is no longer governor.
	Floridians believe 2028 and 2032 are the years DeSantis is called to be POTUS, not 2024.
	I mean, OK, you know, you live in Florida, you know much better what Floridians believe.
	But it seems to me that regardless of whether he wins or not, it would be a mistake for him not to run.
	I'm not saying he will necessarily win.
	I was making the other point that if he doesn't do so, his public image will somehow be hurt because he's going to appear as someone who does not challenge Trump.
	But, you know, fair point.
	Everything you say is fair point.
	Baron von Warhoek.
	Gavin talks about the aggression and domination of the right.
	However, I haven't forgotten 2020 when his Antifa and BLM goons run wild burning down half the nation and killing all those who got in the way.
	Never forget this.
	It's selectivity on their part.
	They very frequently talk about, you know, free speech, whatever, tolerance, but it's only their speech.
	It's only tolerance for their position.
	They never respect free speech, not tolerance for others.
	TaffyDuck, I loved the video of the dreadlocked retard saying the main part of leftist manifesto out loud.
	Yeah, we know you want to kill us all.
	As soon as the majority of us Europeans wake up.
	It's like, you know, European people, you are targeted for termination.
	AZ Desert Rat.
	Newsome is a master of pontification.
	Matthew Hartshorn.
	A big knock on DeSantis, his lack of charisma, but that surely isn't a problem running up against the ghosthoods of Biden.
	He's definitely more likely to acquire the mushy conservatives like the never-Trumpers.
	Also knows how to govern with tangible, long-term results.
	The worry is, he just becomes another establishment figure, whereas Trump burned all bridges to that possibility.
	Baron Von Warhawk.
	All of Ron's victories come from bullying those smaller than him.
	Weakness masquerading as strength.
	Oh no!
	Won't somebody think of the poor New York courts, the poor FBI agents, and the helpless megacorporation that has slaver camps in China?
	Won't somebody please think of the megacorporation?
	I mean, I couldn't go over that aspect.
	So he's picking on small, vulnerable communities.
	Yeah, ESG.
	Slave-onus.
	The worst put community in America, frankly.
	The ESG lobby, the trans lobby, all of that is just... yeah.
	Whatever.
	I am but a humble slaver, leave me alone.
	Sorry.
	But that's what Disney is.
	Sorry.
	Lord Nereva, Gavin Newsom is losing and DeSantis is winning.
	That's why he's obsessed with him.
	DeSantis has winning policies that Newsom is ideologically prohibited from using, and so he can never match him.
	Uh, yep.
	John of Arc, Newsom is correct on one thing.
	Trump's going to get rolled.
	The Trump cult way underestimates Biden's appeal as being not Trump.
	I don't know if you were referring to another point of the interview, but here he was talking about Trump rolling DeSantis, but he did say that Biden will win in the other part of the So, AZ Deseret, I would say DeSantis is assertive, not aggressive.
	What I mean by aggressive is, I mean, he means business and he is putting forward his policies.
	He doesn't waste time.
	That's what I meant.
	But yeah, you could say that's assertive.
	When he speaks, he's assertive.
	But wouldn't you say that aggressive legislation can be A way forward.
	That it describes his style of legislating.
	Would you think that aggressive is a bad adjective to describe it?
	I mean, if you're not aggressive against your political opponents, then... Yeah, maybe.
	Why shouldn't you be?
	An American isolationist.
	Yeah, Newsome in red state... Newsome people in red states know our voices don't matter.
	You and your globalist podophile buddies have rigged the presidential election for the rest of day because the states that are Republican have to win.
	Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia all conveniently have universal mail-in voting.
	that took weeks to come up with enough votes to have your puppet win.
	This is why no one in the US on both sides cares about the election anymore since we know the game has now been rigged.
	Do you want to move forward to the third bit?
	Sure.
	So, BicStape says, "Hear me out.
	I'm just saying if we all pitch in, Vice News could be owned by the Lotaciers community." Just think about it.
	Eh, I don't know, I kind of want to make that organisation shit in its hands and clap.
	Casey Darling says, while I loathe what BuzzFeed and Vice became, there was a time when either of them were capable of real journalism.
	I'm apprehensive about the apparent consolidation happening in the media and banking.
	Let's smear Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder and close down two left-wing media outlets at the same time.
	It feels like they're getting rid of people they're afraid of and can't control.
	I don't know.
	I'm not conspiratorial about this.
	I think they're just crap outlets who couldn't make money because they make crap content and therefore deserve to die.
	This is one of the nice things about capitalism.
	If you do make terrible stuff, people don't buy it.
	I mean, I don't know what the business model really is there.
	What if we smear ordinary people constantly so that we're really unpopular and nobody likes us and then question mark, question mark, question mark, profit?
	It's the dumbest policy.
	Dumbest.
	Well, this is why they deserve to be where they are.
	Lordnerovar says, I reckon this program of leftist rags is indicative of the ESG starting to fail.
	Money sinks like BuzzFeed and Vice, and clearly not cost-effective.
	As soon as the support structures goes, it's bye-bye lefty rag.
	Nice of the Lotuses to hold stuff up, and it speaks to the quality.
	One of the funny things, as I mentioned about the article I read that we didn't have time to add, this fellow who's, I think he was still working there like a year ago, he works at UnHerd now, And I've seen all his stuff.
	He was making great stuff the whole way throughout.
	He mentions that they did all this cool stuff at the start, and then Vice decided to purge all its old people, get all these new people in.
	And also one of the main things they did is they went super corpo even with the traveling.
	So they started hiring security consultants and etc.
	All this stuff you didn't really... This just makes the whole process way worse.
	And so it's way harder to even do your job.
	Anyway, Anonymity says, I would say the... Urinalists?
	What?
	Urinalists?
	I would say that these people are not the government, but shills for the state regime against Trump, for instance, but follows the FBI.
	I don't know what you're saying there, mate.
	I'll be honest.
	Ah, it says here a Games journalist who is in fact an activist posing as a journalist whose work belongs in a urinal.
	Didn't know that one.
	A urinal journalist, yeah.
	True.
	Lord Nerevar says, I reckon this pogrom of left... I think we've already read that.
	Alexander Drake says, you're completely correct Callum.
	These people are our enemies.
	We should absolutely celebrate the misfortune when it comes to them.
	Learn to code, buzzfeed and vice clowns.
	Or learn to mine.
	Or just stop being terrible people.
	I mean, I don't really care what they do for a job.
	I just... The idea that you would spend your life... Oh, what did they do at university?
	Studying friggin' Basket weaving or some other crap.
	Weird studies.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I did sociology and now I'm a journalist.
	Who cares, right?
	But either way, you become an adult.
	You join the new edgy media outfit, Vice or BuzzFeed.
	Okay, that makes sense.
	You could do that.
	And then you're working at this place.
	And sure, you might be left-wing and so forth.
	But the idea that you would then try and destroy human beings like Count Dancula or Robertson, you are...
	You are something else.
	I mean, in the process of destroying this person's reputation and then gleeing about how you got rid of their income stream, I mean, they didn't feel sick at any point.
	I mean, you really should have felt sick and they didn't.
	And they constantly present themselves as being for the poor and for protection and We're out of time.
	Ewan says we need to do Kotaku and IGN next.
	Good idea.
	You know what I hate about IGN is that you go on and watch a game review.
	Dunkey said this.
	You watch Dunkey and you get Dunkey's review of a game.
	You go on IGN and it literally is like 10 fuckos you've never heard of.
	So I'm swearing a lot, but I'm really passionate about this.
	Where you're just like, oh, these people say that this Pokemon game's got too much water in it.
	It means literally nothing to me.
	I don't know who the hell they are.
	Can I say the last honorable mention?
	Sure, I didn't read it.
	By Arizona Desert Rat.
	I've got to say, Stelios, your use of idioms and figurative language in English is growing by leaps and bounds.
	Thank you very much.
	And on that note, we're out of time.
	So if you'd like more, go to the website whose name I've completely forgotten.
	What could it be?
	MysteryLink.
	And see you more.
	If not, don't.
	Bye.
