• 0:23
  to be i have no notes
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: basically i'm just going to be talking on three main topics
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: These three topics,
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to mention obviously what happened last week,
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: very terrible thing.
• 0:37
  I'm also going to talk about the parade on Saturday and a lot
• 0:41
  of the media
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: corruption around the coverage.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then thirdly,
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: I want to,
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: I was thinking earlier today about,
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: as you know,
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: my brain works in patterns.
• 0:52
  And I was thinking earlier today about all of the incidents
• 0:57
  that we're seeing at the moment.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: And the more I was thinking about it,
• 1:01
  the more I was going through all of my notes because I use
• 1:03
  digital as well as
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: written notes.
• 1:05
  And I realized there's a pretty shocking pattern taking place
• 1:09
  at the moment.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I really feel that something shifted last week.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be watching the chat as we're going along here.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: So please drop some comments in the chat here.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'll keep an eye on that.
• 1:20
  But I want to know,
• 1:21
  do you feel that something shifted last week as well?
• 1:26
  And again,
• 1:27
  I'm not just talking about the incident with Charlie Kirk,
• 1:30
  the just absolutely.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I honestly couldn't even stream.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: You look at the people that were streaming or making videos last week.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Even some of the toughest guys I know were in tears.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: They couldn't even speak about that incident.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: I,
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: like many of you,
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: I was in absolute...
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: I was actually planning two live streams last week while I was away.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I was in such shock that...
• 2:04
  what i had in front of me was was pointless it was like it was
• 2:08
  pointless even
• 2:09
  talking about it and the next day and the next day it just
• 2:12
  paled in comparison to
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: what was going on the the sheer outpour that we were seeing and i think
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: If you understand the stages of grief,
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: what we all kind of go through with that,
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: I was definitely in that shock phase for the first day and a half.
• 2:32
  I know some people went straight to anger and other things,
• 2:34
  but I was just in complete shock.
• 2:37
  for the first day in a day and a half and and also just a quick
• 2:41
  one on this because
• 2:42
  i saw loads of people messaging loads of people emailed in and
• 2:45
  saying i can't
• 2:46
  believe you haven't spoken about this and i can't believe you
• 2:50
  you know all this
• 2:50
  sort of stuff actually i did write about it but um many of you
• 2:55
  are not on the the
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: newsletter actually let me just pull it up a second
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Here it is.
• 3:02
  So I did actually write about it in my newsletter,
• 3:04
  which comes out every Friday.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, there was a lot.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: I talked about it here about Charlie.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: In fact,
• 3:10
  I can just read a couple of things out for you because there's
• 3:13
  no way I could even
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: make a video on it.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: I was just too emotional about the whole incident.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: And what made me very angry as well,
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: I try,
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: I think many of you know,
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: as an ex-soldier,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: did that for 10 years.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: I have to really keep my calm and keep my cool.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: I know a lot of you are in the military or you've served in the military,
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: so you understand where I'm going with this.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: But I was so angry and furious about not just the incident itself...
• 3:49
  but by the responses and they were always these really unhinged
• 3:55
  people i'm sure you
• 3:56
  know what i'm talking about here it's like these people were so
• 4:00
  unhinged and they
• 4:02
  all they all fit the same pattern and um and you just think and
• 4:06
  then they'd say oh
• 4:07
  well it's my freedom of speech i can say this stuff even some
• 4:10
  of the messages they
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: were sending to erica
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Charlie's wife,
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: it was absolutely disgraceful,
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: like laughing and saying all the most vile things you can imagine.
• 4:23
  And then people would even email,
• 4:25
  oh,
• 4:25
  well,
• 4:26
  freedom of speech and all this sort of nonsense.
• 4:28
  Yeah,
• 4:28
  it is freedom of speech,
• 4:30
  but there's something called compassion as well.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: there's compassion over what took place.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: And when people are at a prayer vigil and things like that,
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: you don't run into it shouting all the things that some of these people,
• 4:45
  they deliberately went into the prayer vigils with placards and
• 4:48
  signs and would
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: start shouting and with their megaphones and all this other stuff.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's just disgraceful behavior.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: And it really, really made me angry.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: I couldn't do any work.
• 5:01
  for three days actually and eventually i had to take a very
• 5:05
  very long walk to clear
• 5:07
  my head because i was so upset about it so a couple of things
• 5:11
  there number one i
• 5:12
  did post about it just for those people who were some for some
• 5:16
  reason upset with me
• 5:17
  that i didn't make a video about it or whatever i did write
• 5:19
  about it because that
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: is how i sort of dealt with it i i wrote about it
• 5:24
  And some of the things I wrote about it straight away were
• 5:28
  quite accurate.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: And by the way,
• 5:31
  you can subscribe to the email newsletter if you haven't
• 5:33
  already in the description
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: below.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: There's a link for it.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: And after the video, I'll put a pinned comment in as well.
• 5:40
  but a few of the things that i wrote in there were instantly i
• 5:45
  went to this guy is
• 5:47
  probably a trans shooter that's what i thought right away he's
• 5:50
  probably a man
• 5:51
  transitioning to a woman something like that i just this is
• 5:55
  what i thought right
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: away it's probably something like that
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: And when it came out and I saw the guy's picture and everything else,
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: I thought,
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: this doesn't really add up.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then I started thinking, hold on.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I went on to the mother's social media.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: I couldn't find the father's, but I went on to the mother's social media.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: I was looking at the younger brother's social media.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I just saw a really nice family.
• 6:20
  It's like the parents looked like they'd raised their kids
• 6:23
  really,
• 6:24
  really well.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I was going, hold on, this doesn't add up.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: It looks like the parents raised three good kids.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: What has happened here?
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: And then I started to say, oh, sent him off to college.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, here we go.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let me look at this college.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, here we go.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: And then instantly I said to myself,
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: which I'm sure many of you came to the same conclusion,
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: he has been radicalized in the college.
• 6:48
  Because you look at all these hateful posts that are going on
• 6:50
  now as well,
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: and you look disproportionately at the job position of these people.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: They're professors, they're teachers, they are in schools.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: You've got this really radical ideology now,
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: which,
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: ironically enough,
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: they think they're the peaceful ones,
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: and they're going after the hateful people.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean, you could probably make a meme about this.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's so ridiculous.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: They think they're the peaceful ones.
• 7:21
  And then when an assassination of a family man with his wife
• 7:26
  and two kids there.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you even know, are aware of this.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: His wife and two kids were there when he was shot.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: It is, it's so, I'm still shocked by it now.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm still really, really shocked by the whole incident.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: It really shook me up, like many of you, I'm sure.
• 7:48
  And then to see all these people posting and cheering about it
• 7:52
  and being happy about it.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: And then they think they're the peaceful.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: There's a big issue going on.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: There's this massive mental health problem going on.
• 8:04
  But anyway,
• 8:04
  getting back to it,
• 8:05
  then I see,
• 8:07
  which I think it came out yesterday,
• 8:08
  last night.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: that actually he got into all of these groups,
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: normal Antifa,
• 8:15
  which should probably be designated as a domestic terrorist
• 8:18
  group at this point,
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: I would have thought.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: He gets into all these weird groups.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: His roommate is, I think, trans or something like that.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: Saw a picture of their roommate in a furry or whatever they are.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: And you just think he's been radicalized.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's a Christian family.
• 8:36
  The family went to church and then he goes to college and all
• 8:40
  of a sudden he gets radicalized.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's pretty much what happened.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I wrote a few things on it, but you're welcome to read.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, but that was the first thing.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Still shocked by it even now.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: The second one then was Saturday.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: I really, really tried my best.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to get to that parade on Saturday.
• 9:06
  I wanted to,
• 9:07
  I really did want to get there and just couldn't make it work.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: And how many train strikes are there at the moment?
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: Do you realise how many train strikes there are?
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: Isn't just London underground with these tube drivers?
• 9:18
  Have you seen the video of the person knitting and then they
• 9:22
  just push a button and that's it?
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Push a button.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, there was all these strikes.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: There was strikes on GWR as well, Great Western Railways.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's like six hours on a bus from where I was.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: How are you meant to get anything done?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway...
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for those of you who went.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: If you did go, please drop it in the chat.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'd be interested to see how many of you actually went to that parade.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: But do you know what really annoyed me about that parade?
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Was I saw straight away what we all do.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: We go and get our news from alternative sources.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: This is the first thing that I looked up.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: This video here...
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I saw, oh, wow, that is a lot of people.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that is staggering.
• 10:12
  And when I compared this to a protest from a number of years
• 10:16
  ago where they said
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: there was one point something million people,
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: it was the same amount of people here.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: This could even be more, actually.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: When you see how long this goes on for,
• 10:29
  it could even be more than the protests that I saw that had one
• 10:33
  point something
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: million people.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: And it goes on and on and on.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: And then what really annoyed me about this was the BBC saying,
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: They said thousands.
• 10:44
  Now,
• 10:44
  if you saw the initial BBC report,
• 10:48
  they said there's already hundreds of people.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: You're like, there's tens of thousands of people there.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: And then they update the report later to say,
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I saved it all,
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: but it was really antagonistic.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: It was saying, firstly, they said thousands of people.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, just a few thousand people.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: And then there's this...
• 11:08
  The drone footage is showing you there's probably a million
• 11:11
  people there.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know I wasn't there.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: You'll probably know.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Some people say a million people.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: Some people say there was three million people.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: I have no idea how many people were there.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: You could actually find out.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: The government will know because they'll grab the phones...
• 11:25
  And they'll ping,
• 11:27
  they'll look how many phones are in that area,
• 11:30
  so they'll know.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: But that annoyed me, and this is why no one trusts the media anymore.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: That's why we are, if you think about it, we're like the media in a way.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: You send me stories,
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: I cover stuff that the mainstream media isn't covering,
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: or I talk about things that...
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: They're lying about, which is most days.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: But the coverage was so shocking to me that they said thousands.
• 11:57
  And then they focused on how this group attacked the police and
• 12:03
  all of these police
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: officers got injured.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: They focused on that.
• 12:07
  Actually,
• 12:08
  you're always going to get a very small group of people who
• 12:13
  just want to have a fight.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: They just want to have a ruckus.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's just the way it is.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: There's always going to be that in any group, right?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: In any group,
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: you're always going to have some people who just peacefully protest,
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: some people who will treat it as quite a lively event.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: You'll have other people who want to have a fight.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: You'll have different people from different walks of life.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, the BBC and some of the others, they focus on that.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, look, these far-right thugs, they just came to attack and all this.
• 12:47
  They didn't cover the fact that the police actually bust in and
• 12:51
  moved in the Antifa
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: crowd as well with their signs that were all,
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: as usual,
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: remember we covered this,
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: I actually did that very mini-investigation for you.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: They're all printed by this one organisation.
• 13:06
  One organization,
• 13:07
  which is dodgy as well,
• 13:10
  watch that video,
• 13:11
  really dodgy.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: So all these signs are the same.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: They're all the same signs.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: There's no originality.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Some of these people are paid as well.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: They're paid actors to go there.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then they sort of fire up the patriots who are there.
• 13:27
  And and then some people what happens is people who are
• 13:31
  instinctively angry anyway,
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: they get angry and they want to fight.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what happens.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: The police brought them in.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: They brought them in again.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: And then they say, oh, they just wanted to fight all these.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: They just it's ridiculous.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: This is why no one trusts the media anymore.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: No one trusts them at all.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: the third thing I wanted to talk about,
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: and this is really where you're probably thinking,
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: yeah,
• 13:55
  this is more Neil that I'm going to listen to now with how his
• 13:59
  brain works and the
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: patterns.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: So I was going through all my notes and I was thinking to myself,
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: because I saw,
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: hold on,
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: where was this video?
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: I've got to show you very quickly this,
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: because I was,
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: talk about being in the right place at the right time.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: This was a video that this guy filmed.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: This was the Nepalese parliament falling.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he is the luckiest man alive, I think, to film this.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: So he went from zero to half a million subscribers in a day,
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: and he got 25 million views on a video like that.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I wish I was there.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: Wrong place at the wrong time.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: I would have definitely filmed that.
• 14:41
  But here's what I found interesting when I saw that fall of the
• 14:45
