Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Graham Lenahan was once one of the most celebrated members
- 0:03Speaker 1: of Britain's famously the book uber politically great comedy community.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Graham Lenahan, Graham Lenahan, he's, you know, the creator of
- 0:16Speaker 2: some of the best loved sitcoms TV shows in the UK.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Father Ted is a real classic black books like the
- 0:25Speaker 2: IT crowd. But he's quite but was at least he
- 0:29Speaker 2: was quite beloved over there. And uh, the police state
- 0:35Speaker 2: that is the UK, or should I say Airstrip one,
- 0:38Speaker 2: the police state that is Airstrip one, has arrested him,
- 0:41Speaker 2: of course, for saying things that they didn't like on
- 0:45Speaker 2: the internet. The Glitter update. I just got arrested again.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I arrived back in London to discover the UK is
- 0:52Speaker 2: still a police state run by transactivists. So he moved
- 0:57Speaker 2: to the United States, where he's actually working on an
- 1:00Speaker 2: show with Rob Schneider's production company, I believe, and I
- 1:04Speaker 2: guess he had to go back and visit and they
- 1:06Speaker 2: arrested him when he got off the plane. So let's
- 1:09Speaker 2: actually take a look at this. I mean, this is
- 1:12Speaker 2: truly dystopia now right, this has truly become dystopian. I
- 1:17Speaker 2: just got arrested again. Graham Lenahan there is he had
- 1:22Speaker 2: to go to the hospital, so they took him to
- 1:25Speaker 2: jail and made him the stress of it ended up
- 1:29Speaker 2: sending him to hospital because I guess they assumed he
- 1:31Speaker 2: was having a heart attack or something, which is quite understandable.
- 1:36Speaker 2: You're just getting off a plane and you're not expecting
- 1:38Speaker 2: to be arrested. Calvin Robinson, you may have seen him
- 1:42Speaker 2: on Lotus Eaters if you watch that. Graham Lenahan traveled
- 1:44Speaker 2: to the UK from Arizona and was arrested at the
- 1:47Speaker 2: airport by five armed police officers. Right for a couple
- 1:53Speaker 2: of posts on X. Is he a terrorist? Did he
- 1:56Speaker 2: attempted to take over the plane? No? He sent three
- 1:59Speaker 2: naughty too. His male conditions dictate he is banned from X.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Let's see if we can find these actual tweets. So
- 2:06Speaker 2: here's a couple of tweets from them, Graham Lenahan, if
- 2:09Speaker 2: a transidentified male is in a female only space, he
- 2:13Speaker 2: is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call
- 2:17Speaker 2: the cops, and if all else fails, punch him in
- 2:20Speaker 2: the balls. That's a joke. That's not a cult to violence.
- 2:25Speaker 2: That's clearly a joke because the balls thing, right, the
- 2:29Speaker 2: balls man in a female only space pretending to be
- 2:33Speaker 2: a woman. So this is what's gotten them in trouble
- 2:36Speaker 2: is that he's refused to buy into the fantasy, the
- 2:42Speaker 2: trans fantasy world, the gender theory, gender ideology, fantasy world.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So he's refusing to pretend to believe things that he
- 2:50Speaker 2: knows aren't true. He's refusing to pretend to believe that
- 2:55Speaker 2: men can become women or women can become men. He's
- 2:59Speaker 2: an an example of an old school liberal who just
- 3:02Speaker 2: refuse to give up dominion over his own conscience. Again,
- 3:07Speaker 2: is this something that would demand in any sane world?
- 3:12Speaker 2: Is this something that would demand five armed officers to
- 3:16Speaker 2: arrest him? I mean, the UK's got problems, they got
- 3:19Speaker 2: terrorism problems, they've got grooming gang problems there, They've got
- 3:23Speaker 2: major crime problems of every kind. Is this really the
- 3:26Speaker 2: best use of resources? Well, if the goal is not
- 3:30Speaker 2: to have a fair rule of law society, if the
- 3:35Speaker 2: goal is for you know, an a narco tyranny with
- 3:39Speaker 2: just arbitrary use of government power and government violence, well
- 3:44Speaker 2: then that makes sense. Right If the truth doesn't matter anymore,
- 3:49Speaker 2: if the only thing that matters is power, then it
- 3:52Speaker 2: makes sense. I get just they should just change all
- 3:54Speaker 2: the maps, just call it airstrip one from now on.
- 3:58Speaker 2: And of course it's there's total hypocrisy, it's totally two tiered.
- 4:03Speaker 2: The law applies to some people, it doesn't apply to
- 4:05Speaker 2: other It's an arbitrary application of the law based on politics.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Graham Lenehan should have joked about pushing people under a
- 4:13Speaker 2: train like the UK, like the UK Health secretary West
- 4:18Speaker 2: Street tank. Let's see, there would be nothing natural but
- 4:21Speaker 2: Jan War's I don't know who that is Jan Moore's death.
- 4:24Speaker 2: If I shoved the bigoted old bag under a train,
- 4:27Speaker 2: that's the Health secretary not arrested for some reason. Here
- 4:32Speaker 2: we go, look at this talking about in three different
- 4:35Speaker 2: I mean, this is unbelievable. But this is tyranny, right.
- 4:39Speaker 2: This is the arbitrary application. This is the arbitrary application
- 4:43Speaker 2: of power of the state's monopoly of violence. Let's see
- 4:48Speaker 2: Glenner updates. So this is what he wrote. This is
- 4:52Speaker 2: what Graham Lenihan wrote. At Heathrow Police station, my belt,
- 4:55Speaker 2: bag and devices were confiscated. Then I was shown into
- 4:59Speaker 2: a small, reentiled cell with a bunk, a silver toilet
- 5:03Speaker 2: in the corner and a message from crime Stoppers on
- 5:06Speaker 2: the ceiling next to a concave mirror that was presumably
- 5:09Speaker 2: there to make you reflect on your life choices, in
- 5:13Speaker 2: this case, his life choice choices to not betray his
- 5:17Speaker 2: own conscience. By some miracle, probably because I hadn't slept
- 5:21Speaker 2: on the flight, I managed to doze off after the
- 5:25Speaker 2: premier economy seat in which I just spent ten hours.
- 5:29Speaker 2: It was actually a relief to stretch out that passed
- 5:32Speaker 2: the time, though I kept waking up wondering if it
- 5:35Speaker 2: was all actually happening, and it does have to be,
- 5:40Speaker 2: you know, it must have been horrifically surreal. Later, during
- 5:44Speaker 2: the interview itself, the tone shifted. The officer conducting it
- 5:48Speaker 2: asked about each of the terrible tweets in turn, with
- 5:52Speaker 2: the sort of earnest intensity usually reserved for discussing something
- 5:57Speaker 2: serious like oh, I don't know crib crime. I explained
- 6:02Speaker 2: that the punch tweet was a serious point made with
- 6:05Speaker 2: a joke. Men you went to women's spaces are abusers
- 6:09Speaker 2: and they need to be challenged every time. The punch
- 6:12Speaker 2: in the bollocks bit was about the height difference between
- 6:15Speaker 2: men and women, the ballocks being closer to punch level
- 6:19Speaker 2: for a woman. Defending her rights and certainly not a
- 6:22Speaker 2: call to violence. Well, it was clearly a joke, and
- 6:25Speaker 2: also just simply the fact that if it were a
- 6:28Speaker 2: real woman, you wouldn't be able to punch her in
- 6:31Speaker 2: the balls. You mentioned trans people. I asked him what
- 6:35Speaker 2: he meant by the phrase people who feel their gender
- 6:38Speaker 2: is different than what was assigned at birth. I said,
- 6:41Speaker 2: assigned at birth? Are sex isn't assigned? He called it semantics.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I told him he was using activist language. The damaged
- 6:49Speaker 2: Stonewall has done to the UK police force will take
- 6:52Speaker 2: years to men. This is all just insanity. It's obviously political. Obviously,
- 7:00Speaker 2: Neil O'Brien says, Britain is now a total laughing stock.
- 7:04Speaker 2: But it's actually a terrifying laughing stock. A country where
- 7:08Speaker 2: we arrest the authors of light comedies and interrogate them
- 7:12Speaker 2: about their tweets. It would be laughable if it wasn't
- 7:15Speaker 2: so serious. It is genuine. I find it terrifying. I
- 7:20Speaker 2: find it. This is coming if it's allowed, this is
- 7:24Speaker 2: coming everywhere. This is the goal. This is Britain racing,
- 7:30Speaker 2: racing towards a Chinese neo fascist totalitarian model. That's what's
- 7:37Speaker 2: going on here. It's nothing else and everybody in the
- 7:40Speaker 2: UK should be terrified. This is April sixteenth, twenty twenty three,
- 7:45Speaker 2: so they've been after him for years, but let's watch this.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Graham and Ad was once one of the most celebrated
- 7:52Speaker 1: members of Britain's famously the book uber politically great comedy community.
- 7:57Speaker 1: A legend at the left wing Channel four, he was
- 8:00Speaker 1: beloved as a modern day creative messiah, the brains behind
- 8:05Speaker 1: all time great comedies. Father ted the It Crowded actually
- 8:09Speaker 1: one of my personal favorites black books. That was until
- 8:13Speaker 1: he dared to express a view until just a few
- 8:16Speaker 1: years ago, by the way, a view accepted as an
- 8:19Speaker 1: established fact. It's a view about the existence of biological
- 8:23Speaker 1: sex and how it's pretty unwise to allow anyone with
- 8:26Speaker 1: a penis into women's only spaces.
- 8:29Speaker 3: I'd say anything. They've given women no room in which
- 8:34Speaker 3: they can maneuver and argue for their rights. The gender
- 8:37Speaker 3: movement is, at its heart, it's a middle class movement.
- 8:40Speaker 3: They've all got kids who wear some by shadow that
- 8:43Speaker 3: decide their trans and the parents are kind of circling
- 8:47Speaker 3: the wagons around them rather than thinking it through. There's
- 8:50Speaker 3: no more homophobic statement than trans.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Women are women, because when you say the trans women
- 8:55Speaker 2: are women, you were saying that they are women in
- 8:57Speaker 2: all in the literal meaning of the world. That if
- 9:00Speaker 2: a lesbian does not want.
- 9:01Speaker 3: To go out with a male budiged person who identifies
- 9:04Speaker 3: as trams, they're automatically considered a biggot.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Does that sound like a threat to national security? Does
- 9:10Speaker 2: that sound like a threat to the public, or just like,
- 9:13Speaker 2: you know, a middle aged man speaking just common sense,
- 9:17Speaker 2: just widely held beliefs. Does that seem like somebody who
- 9:22Speaker 2: needs to be arrested.
- 9:23Speaker 3: No?
- 9:24Speaker 2: Does that seem like somebody that this is required for. No, No,
- 9:29Speaker 2: that's just a normal person expressing widely held views, more
- 9:35Speaker 2: widely held than the views of the radical activists or
- 9:40Speaker 2: much more widely held views. So this is the state
- 9:45Speaker 2: of the UK and it's genuinely sad and tragic to
- 9:50Speaker 2: see this happening to you know, a once great country,
- 9:53Speaker 2: a once great empire. It's all a warning to the public.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Now this is happening, what's happening around you, what you
- 10:00Speaker 2: you can see with your own eyes and ears, what
- 10:02Speaker 2: you know is wrong. It's happening, and it's gonna keep happening,
- 10:05Speaker 2: and there's nothing you can do anyway. That's all i'm
- 10:10Speaker 2: gonna say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe. Subscribing
- 10:13Speaker 2: really helps me out. I thank you for that. I
- 10:16Speaker 2: will see you next time.
