  Speaker 1: Journalist at Olympics suspended for saying John Lennon's imagine is
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a vision of communism. It just straight up is so.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I guess if a journalist just tells the truth, this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is the problem with the world. If a journalist tells
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the truth, they get suspended or fired. So they're just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: out of just default. They just it's just safer just
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to lie. Lie about everything, lie about everything all the time.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: If you say something true, you're going to get suspended
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: or fired. John Lennon's imagine is a vision of communism.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: That's true, published journalist and sports commentator uh p b
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: uh blah b barbias Babyars, I know the I think
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I can do. The last name Babyrs has been suspended
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: from the Paras Olympics after labeling John Lennon's imagine a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: vision of communism. A vision of communism we all know
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that it is. During the twenty twenty four Olympics, the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Fame song written by the late Beatle John Lennon, was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sung by French singer Juliet Armanay at the opening ceremony
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that took place on the Sane River in Paris on Friday.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: While it was playing, the Polish state broadcaster sit on air,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: this is a vision of communism. Unfortunately. See he's from Poland.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They know a little something about communism, right, They were
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: living with it until really, you know, fairly recently, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: it didn't go well and people didn't like it. You know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they're just a few mere decades away from that, so
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they know, they know. The comments immediately triggered a reaction
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for those watching in Poland. The public broadcaster baby ars
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: works in Warsaw TV. Blah blah blah later issued a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: statement that made it clear the well known commentator would
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: not be commenting on air from Paris about any more
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: from the summer Olympics. I don't get this. Poland they
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: know about communism. But I guess maybe what has happened
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is maybe they, the kind of elites in Poland have
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: been reinfected with the mind virus, because you kind of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: thing like the regular man and woman probably isn't eager
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to be I mean, they probably have a negative opinion
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of communism. I would assume. I would assume, because again
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it didn't go great for Poland. But anyway, I don't know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just the guy told the truth and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he gets suspended for telling the truth. I don't know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: but is it a vision of communism? Is it even
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that there? It doesn't even sound like they were they
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: were contending anything like that. No, it's not. No, it's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: not just a nice song. It seems like they just
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they just don't want him saying that. But as to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this question of whether or not, imagine is a vision
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of communist and well, let's go to the lyrics and again, listen.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I love John Lennon, love the Beatles, I think he did.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I think he did some really good solo stuff as well,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But this song is a fucking t This is a terrible,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: abhorrent abomination of a song. And I don't know what
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: he was thinking. I mean, I know he was doing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of drugs at that time. But let's see
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the lyrics here. I imagine there's no heaven. It's easy
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: if you try, sounding pretty calmy already no hell below
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: as above his only sky, already pretty calmy, face it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And there's like, you know, billions of people that would
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: disagree with that. I'm not a religious man myself, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that's just the facts. Imagine all the people living for today,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's a terrible idea that's a terrible idea. You can't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: just live for today. You have to plan living for today.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, who's planning? Who's like? Who
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: who's planning like the maintenance of the hydroelectric dam? Right,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Like who's planning? Like who's thinking not about just today,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: but like the power grid and like a year or
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: two years or five years or ten years. You kind
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of have to do that. You can't just live for today.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That's stupid. What's that saying about? You know, a good
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: society is on where old man plant trees, the shade
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of which they'll never sit under, you know, because they're
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: thinking about the next generation. They're not just living for today.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Living for today is actually a terrible, terrible idea. I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not saying you can't have fun, but you can't. That's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: not a way to live. That's the way to wreck
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: your life. That's a way to be irresponsible and stupid. Sure,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: get caught up in the moment here and there, but
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know, living for today, just living for today? All
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the people living for today? Really, really, who's dealing with
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the sewage sewage treatment exactly? Who's minding the nuclear reactors? No, terrible, stupid,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: This is just this is below high school yearbook quality,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: high school yearbook poetry quality. Imagine there's no countries. It
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: isn't hard to do. It actually is kind of hard
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to do, to be honest. Nothing to kill or die
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: for and no religion too. So imagine there's no country,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It isn't hard to do. So what like a one
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: world super state? Because that'd work out great, that it'd
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: be perfect, right, I'm sure there'd be nothing to kill
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: or die for. I'm sure that the super state wouldn't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: kill the world wouldn't be ruled at the end of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a gun because because what people are unruly I think
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I think there would be things to kill and die
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for in that world. Now typical COMI bullshit. I mean
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the religion thing, I don't know. I used to be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: one of those militant atheists and then eventually I just realized,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I got no fucking idea. You know
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what what am? I am? I the the am I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the king of the universe. I don't know, I don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: know anything. So I'm not going to tell people to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not believe whatever. Go ahead, do it, that's your thing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: world will be as one. That's never gonna happen. Let's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: just face it, that's never gonna happen. That's just stupid,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that's just stupid. You may say I'm a dreamer. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you're just dreaming. You're not thinking of the practical application
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of anything. You're just talking about. Oh well, everybody, just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: there'll be this one world, cammi utopia, I guess, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: somehow would lull work and nobody will think beyond today.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Everyone just be living for today. But everything will still
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: work somehow, I don't think. So here we go. Imagine
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: no possessions. You know what? Fuck you, John Lennon? Fuck you?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Is this the inspiration for the World Economic Forum? You'll
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have nothing and to be happy? Did they get it
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: from John Lennon? I'm not liking it. Shut up, commy, No,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I want possessions. I want to have possessions. Imagine no possessions.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I wonder if you can, well, I can. And the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: way I imagine it is that it's terrible because I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: don't have anything, no need for greed or hunger. A
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: brotherhood of man yeah, but nobody's really thinking about the future.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Just like you said in this in your other verse,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: nobody everybody's living for today, so nobody's thinking of greed
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: or hunger. You know what. You know what'll happened there.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Everybody will be hungry. And you know this this I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: guess this, because what are those things you're talking about?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: No countries, Yeah, the one world super saint. Nobody's gonna
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: be ay that the people at the top of the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of the parramid aren't going to be greenedy. That's always
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the problem with this these ingtopia ideas of equality in equity,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and there's still human nature and the people that have
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the chance to exploit other people well, and they have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a much easier time of it when you have total
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: centralized control. That's why communist country suck. You may say
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm a dreamer. I say you're just stupid. I think
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: he was too high when he wrote this song. It's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: what happened. He just got too high and he wrote this,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this steaming pile of garbage. But I'm not the only one. Unfortunately,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you're not the only one. If it was just John Lennon,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it would be fine, I guess right, that would be fine.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: This is a comedy song. There's a goddamn comedy song,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a dirty, filthy comedy song. Imagine there's no countries. No, no,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not going too actual. I'm not even going to bother.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna waste my time with this. I'm sorry.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: John Lennon. You know you did some great stuff. You
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: did some great stuff. Norwegian would fantastic. But this, I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: afraid it's just an abomination. It's total utter garbage. If
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you still don't hate this song, if you still don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: hate this song, you will hate it after you watch this.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: This is so difficult to watch. I hate to do this.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I hesitate to do this. I know this is hard
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: for people to watch. It's hard for me to watch.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: It's difficult. I wretch when I watch it. It's so disgusting.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do it, though. If you still
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: don't hate Imagine, this should do it for you. Let's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: give it a go, and it goes like this. Imagine
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: there's no heaven. It's easiest food chop. Well, okay, we
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: gotta keep going, gotta keep going. You should have if
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you have something like a bowl or something, you might
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: have to vomit into but I think we've got to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: watch it a little bit. We'll watch a little bit more. Again.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this to cure you. This is the tough
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: love that some people need. This is the tough love
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that some people need to realize that the song Imagine
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: is an abomination. Let's continue above. Song is God, Imagine
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: all people living more. Breathe, breathe, take a deep breath.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We won't need to do We're not going to do
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: much more. I don't want to actually harm anybody. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: know this is difficult, but there might be somebody out
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: there who needs to see this to cure them of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: their love of the song Imagine and also hopefully communism. Okay,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: let's go three two one for too. Oh okay, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: can't do it anymore. Oh, oh Jesus. In fact, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: got to get that off the screen. Oh Jesus, what
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the hell is that? There we go? Oh, that's better,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that's better. Oh that was tough. I didn't want to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: do that. I didn't want to do that. But I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: know there's people out there that still I don't know
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: how they still think there's something in that song. They
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: still like that song somehow, And sometimes you need to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: go beyond the John Lennon version because you can be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: tricked by that anyway. That's all I'm going to say
• 10:36
