- 0:00Speaker 1: I regret to announce that this is my last episode
- 0:05Speaker 1: of HBr News and I will no longer be producing
- 0:10Speaker 1: content on this channel. And I just thought I would
- 0:15Speaker 1: let you guys know.
- 0:16Speaker 2: So, you guys, it's the most basic.
- 0:23Speaker 3: I know.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I know you better than that. I wasn't really I
- 0:28Speaker 1: wanted to do something special, but I couldn't think of
- 0:32Speaker 1: anything because I kind of suck at this. So yeah, but.
- 0:36Speaker 2: I really, I really felt I should come in soon
- 0:38Speaker 2: because a lot of people really still don't know what
- 0:40Speaker 2: data is and they.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Well, no, no, yeah, I know. Oh well anyway, Uh,
- 0:49Speaker 1: this is HBr News Number I didn't even play the
- 0:53Speaker 1: intro this time. I just jumped in. That's okay. Number
- 0:55Speaker 1: four ninety six Homophobic Toddlers and teenage mutant gender Turtles,
- 1:00Speaker 1: where we discuss the news of the week and give

- 1:23Speaker 1: weird freaking show for you guys. I mean, you would
- 1:27Speaker 1: think this is all a joke, but this is reality,
- 1:29Speaker 1: which is the greatest joke of all. We'll be discussing
- 1:32Speaker 1: the latest news regarding at Ashley Saint Clair, a three
- 1:37Speaker 1: or four year old is accused of transphobia and homophobia.

- 1:45Speaker 1: going to be a good time and be sure to
- 1:46Speaker 1: join us afterwards for the Patron only show. So, like,
- 1:51Speaker 1: I did a makeup Patron show last week and I
- 1:55Speaker 1: decided to talk about I mean, we usually try to
- 1:59Speaker 1: keep the Patron show was a little bit lighter, so
- 2:01Speaker 1: I decided to talk a little bit about this video
- 2:04Speaker 1: that I watched, which is a video essay someone made
- 2:07Speaker 1: about the Amazon television show called Invincible, And I mean,
- 2:14Speaker 1: like basically it was is entitled how Invincible Deconstructs Masculinity.
- 2:19Speaker 1: So I thought, oh, yeah, this is this is definitely
- 2:21Speaker 1: good like chum for the Sharks. And we didn't get
- 2:25Speaker 1: that far into it because we ended up talking a
- 2:27Speaker 1: lot about like the hero archetypes and like you know,
- 2:30Speaker 1: what masculinity is and stories and then of course This
- 2:33Speaker 1: turned into a conversation about masculinity itself, but we will
- 2:37Speaker 1: be continuing this video how Invincible deconstructs masculinity in the
- 2:42Speaker 1: Patron Show. So please consider joining us on the Patron
- 2:45Speaker 1: Show by going to feed Thebadgel dot com forward slash

- 3:07Speaker 1: please go to badgerfeed dot com or honey Badger Radio
- 3:10Speaker 1: dot com. That is where our content lives. And lastly,
- 3:13Speaker 1: I will ask, because I'm really bad about doing this,
- 3:17Speaker 1: send us a message by going to feed the Badger
- 3:19Speaker 1: dot com forward slash just the tip to send us
- 3:22Speaker 1: a superchow. It's generally like a better way to send
- 3:27Speaker 1: a super chat of some kind because number one, we
- 3:30Speaker 1: get most of the money. Number two, it's you got
- 3:33Speaker 1: like way more characters to work with, so you can
- 3:35Speaker 1: send a longer message and number three, it's not likely
- 3:38Speaker 1: to get censored because it's not going through YouTube's common
- 3:43Speaker 1: filtration system. So and before we get into the stories,
- 3:46Speaker 1: there was a superchow that I got yesterday that did
- 3:50Speaker 1: not get read out because it came in after the
- 3:52Speaker 1: show was over. So I'm gonna go ahead and read
- 3:55Speaker 1: that now. So the Great Indoors, I think it was
- 3:59Speaker 1: not yesterday. Was Sunday, Today's no Tuesday, Monday. I think
- 4:03Speaker 1: it might have been on Monday. I think I don't know.
- 4:07Speaker 1: The Great Indoors gave us five bucks and said there
- 4:11Speaker 1: is a Dutch Netflix series called Haunches I don't care
- 4:15Speaker 1: if I pronounced that right or not, which is about
- 4:18Speaker 1: men struggling in this modern climate where women have more
- 4:21Speaker 1: of a say. In the trailer, a woman suggests to
- 4:24Speaker 1: start an open relationship, and of course the man is
- 4:26Speaker 1: having difficulty with this because he wants to quote dominate
- 4:31Speaker 1: the relationship end quote and has quote repressed feelings of
- 4:34Speaker 1: insecurity end quote. This is according to the show's logic,
- 4:37Speaker 1: not the man. I think this series has been introduced
- 4:40Speaker 1: in various countries under different names. Well, it's worth looking at.
- 4:44Speaker 1: But thank you for the super Child. Great indoors and
- 4:48Speaker 1: sorry that it came in after our show was over.
- 4:51Speaker 1: So uh yeah, we're not talking about I know that
- 4:55Speaker 1: like adolescence is still in the news because there's more
- 4:57Speaker 1: stuff going on with it, but I think that we've
- 5:00Speaker 1: we we kind of like caught it early and we
- 5:03Speaker 1: had our say about it, So I'm not gonna be
- 5:06Speaker 1: talking about that, although there is a related story today
- 5:09Speaker 1: sort of that we'll be getting to a little bit later,
- 5:12Speaker 1: But first, with all that out of the way, let
- 5:16Speaker 1: us get into today's stories. So first, we got this
- 5:21Speaker 1: and this is confirmed. There's video online and everything in
- 5:25Speaker 1: terms of the events around it and the responses, so
- 5:27Speaker 1: as of April first, twenty twenty five, not in April
- 5:30Speaker 1: Fool's joke. Ashley Saint Clair, twenty six year old conservative
- 5:33Speaker 1: influencer in theory, claims she gave birth to Elon Musk's
- 5:38Speaker 1: thirteenth child in September of twenty twenty four and has
- 5:42Speaker 1: been embroiled in a public dispute with him over child support,
- 5:45Speaker 1: which we covered on a previous show. She sold her
- 5:48Speaker 1: one hundred thousand Tesla Model S one hundred thousand dollars
- 5:51Speaker 1: Tesla Model S on March twenty ninth, just a few
- 5:54Speaker 1: days ago, outside her Manhattan apartment, telling reporters it was
- 5:59Speaker 1: to offer set a sixty percent cut Musk allegedly made
- 6:03Speaker 1: to their son's support payments. Sink Claire accuses Musk of
- 6:08Speaker 1: reducing support in retaliation for her February twenty twenty five
- 6:11Speaker 1: announcement of his paternity and subsequent lawsuits for custody and
- 6:16Speaker 1: a paternity test. Elon Musk responded on X Now not
- 6:20Speaker 1: in the way that he had in the past where
- 6:22Speaker 1: he just said WHOA, He actually had something to say,
- 6:25Speaker 1: claiming that he has paid her two and a half
- 6:27Speaker 1: million dollars and provides five hundred thousand dollars annually despite
- 6:33Speaker 1: not actually confirming paternity, and he claims that he is
- 6:38Speaker 1: open to a paternity test. Ashley Saint Clair fired back,
- 6:42Speaker 1: calling him a petulant manchild and alleging he refused a
- 6:46Speaker 1: paternity test before the child's birth. The feud has escalated online,
- 6:51Speaker 1: with no court verified financial details yet public. Mike Gregan,
- 6:56Speaker 1: a little bit of background noise from you. I don't
- 6:58Speaker 1: know if they're playing with your sorr. Yeah.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm saying she's a gold digger, but there are
- 7:09Speaker 2: certain characteristics with which she ain't messing. It's so difficult
- 7:21Speaker 2: to sing that Jimmy Foxne and Amy.
- 7:27Speaker 1: That's the one.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I mean, that's not the real reason she's selling a tesla,
- 7:32Speaker 2: is it. It's it's because it's not safe to have
- 7:35Speaker 2: a tesla at this point in time. They're getting vandalized
- 7:39Speaker 2: with piss and ship and vomit, not to mention getting
- 7:41Speaker 2: burned and exploded left, right and center, I mean from
- 7:46Speaker 2: the left, but indiscriminately when it comes to the owner.
- 7:50Speaker 2: You could be a black Mexican, disabled, lesbian, Muslim other
- 7:54Speaker 2: kin and a raging left OI and they'll still treat
- 7:58Speaker 2: your tesla like it's a German panzer tank plowing across
- 8:03Speaker 2: the ardens. This bitch is not only a quote unquote
- 8:08Speaker 2: conservative influencer, and those quotation marks are enormous and in
- 8:14Speaker 2: bold and italic, but she's a conservative influencer who is
- 8:19Speaker 2: allegedly given birth to the spawn of Satan as far
- 8:24Speaker 2: as these communist terrorists are concerned. It's by the grace
- 8:29Speaker 2: of God, ironically that her tesla hasn't already been mute
- 8:34Speaker 2: from orbit. But given how many other quote unquote conservative
- 8:39Speaker 2: influences made no hesitation in gushing over her and her
- 8:44Speaker 2: decision to have this bastard child. She ought to be
- 8:48Speaker 2: able to find a sucker somewhere who will give her
- 8:50Speaker 2: millions of dollars for that car, because if it's it's
- 8:54Speaker 2: its historical significant significance. If there was a muse of
- 9:00Speaker 2: hypocritical conservative simps that that car would be the centerpiece.
- 9:05Speaker 2: It would be dangling from the ceiling in the lobby
- 9:08Speaker 2: like that whale skeleton in the Natural History Museum. But then,
- 9:12Speaker 2: of course it would still be subject to terrorist attacks
- 9:17Speaker 2: from the fuck you will fucking u darf in the
- 9:20Speaker 2: crowd that God knows such museum will ever exist, because
- 9:26Speaker 2: neither side will ever admit that conservatives worship women too.
- 9:31Speaker 2: But yeah, it's obvious what's going on. She's selling it
- 9:34Speaker 2: because she doesn't want to die in a car bomb.
- 9:37Speaker 2: She's going to leave that up to someone else. But
- 9:39Speaker 2: she's not going to miss the opportunity to call in
- 9:43Speaker 2: the press and make a big deal of it and
- 9:46Speaker 2: pretend she's doing it because Elon is a big meani
- 9:49Speaker 2: poopy head who has left her with no choice. She's
- 9:53Speaker 2: jumping on the bandwagon. I mean, once upon a time,
- 9:57Speaker 2: the Tesla was the bandwagon, but now she's jumping off
- 10:01Speaker 2: of it and onto the next bandwagon, which is fuck
- 10:05Speaker 2: Elon Musk. When I bought his car and stole his seat,
- 10:10Speaker 2: I didn't realize he'd become public Enemy number one by
- 10:14Speaker 2: preventing the government from stealing billions of dollars from the public.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I don't know how that even makes sense, But then again,
- 10:22Speaker 2: I don't know how anything makes sense anymore. We've gone
- 10:25Speaker 2: beyond upside downland at this point, and now we're in
- 10:30Speaker 2: mc escher land, like the impossible staircase at the end
- 10:34Speaker 2: of the labyrinth. Up is down, Up is also left
- 10:38Speaker 2: and right. Up is also forwards and backwards and spiraling
- 10:42Speaker 2: through the fourth and fifth dimensions. Nobody knows where anything
- 10:47Speaker 2: is or what anything is, and we're all fucked. It's
- 10:50Speaker 2: a strange time to be alive, and I suppose it's
- 10:54Speaker 2: a lucrative time to be commenting on what strange times
- 10:59Speaker 2: we live in, so that I will drink.
- 11:03Speaker 3: So I got to point out if this was just
- 11:06Speaker 3: about money, she wouldn't be publicizing it. She'd be in court.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Maybe other people would be publicizing it, but she would
- 11:16Speaker 3: just be doing what women do when it's just about money. Right,
- 11:21Speaker 3: she would be in court. She would be playing victim
- 11:24Speaker 3: in the courtroom, and she would be making bank because
- 11:29Speaker 3: that's what happens, unless, of course, in the courtroom the
- 11:33Speaker 3: judge said no more child support until there is a
- 11:36Speaker 3: paternity test, and then she would have to prove her case.
- 11:43Speaker 3: That might not go so well for her. It might,
- 11:46Speaker 3: but you never can be sure. Just because a woman
- 11:51Speaker 3: says the father of her child is a particular guy
- 11:55Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean that's the truth. Right. That happens all
- 12:00Speaker 3: the time. And if this was really just about getting
- 12:05Speaker 3: rid of the vehicle, right, oh, she's mad, adam, she's
- 12:07Speaker 3: going to sell the car gave her, or she wants
- 12:09Speaker 3: the money. She's going to sell the car he gave her.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Or it's a dangerous car to have right now, so
- 12:14Speaker 3: she's going to Again, she wouldn't have publicized it, right,
- 12:19Speaker 3: She wouldn't have drawn attention to what she was doing.
- 12:24Speaker 3: So there's two other things that this could be about.
- 12:29Speaker 3: One of them is public attention, which is the most
- 12:31Speaker 3: obvious because you know, if you publicize something, you get
- 12:37Speaker 3: public attention for it, at least some right. The other
- 12:41Speaker 3: one is when a woman is scorned and a guy
- 12:46Speaker 3: doesn't dedicate himself to her for the rest of her
- 12:49Speaker 3: life after sleeping with her once or whatever happened. I've
- 12:54Speaker 3: heard a bunch of different stories, including artificial insemination. Then
- 13:00Speaker 3: she wants to humiliate him, right, she wants to punish him.
- 13:04Speaker 3: How dare he not think she's the coolest thing that
- 13:08Speaker 3: God ever created on a screen Earth? And of course
- 13:12Speaker 3: that's a distinct possibility too. She may be publicizing all
- 13:16Speaker 3: of this out of sheer bitchiness to hurt him. But
- 13:22Speaker 3: it's definitely not just about the money. Granted, that is
- 13:27Speaker 3: a ton of money, and most of us live on
- 13:31Speaker 3: about ten percent or less of that. That what she's
- 13:38Speaker 3: getting regularly on an annual basis not even like what
- 13:46Speaker 3: did would he say? He's paying like five hundred thousand.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Five hundred thousand It might be I don't think it's
- 13:56Speaker 1: a month, but yeah, five thousand year, half a million
- 14:01Speaker 1: a year, that's crazy.
- 14:03Speaker 3: That's just like even a year, that's crazy. But like
- 14:06Speaker 3: I said, most of us live on.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Hey, Elon, i'm pregnant with your baby. You owe me money, Elon,
- 14:13Speaker 1: I'm pregnant with your baby. I just want you to know,
- 14:15Speaker 1: Elon Musk, I'm pregnant. You have to you have to
- 14:17Speaker 1: pay up, you have to like step up and be
- 14:20Speaker 1: a man.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Now, I know what you're thinking, But what you're thinking
- 14:23Speaker 2: is trustphobic Elon.
- 14:26Speaker 3: There you go. But my point, my point is, you know,
- 14:30Speaker 3: she's she He's clearly getting a ship ton of money,
- 14:33Speaker 3: and and that's definitely part of the reason for what
- 14:36Speaker 3: she's doing because obviously nobody goes for child support if
- 14:40Speaker 3: they don't want money, you know. But but I would
- 14:44Speaker 3: say that this is this is sheer bitchiness, this is
- 14:47Speaker 3: this is actually my suspicion anyway, is hose mad and
- 14:53Speaker 3: this is how she gets her revenge?
- 14:56Speaker 1: Yeah? Uh, just the follow up. So yes, definitely he's responded.
- 15:00Speaker 1: He said that he's doing his part. We will see
- 15:04Speaker 1: if they like pursue for their action. But what I
- 15:06Speaker 1: want to know is, could we all know Elon's trying
- 15:09Speaker 1: to repopulate the earth like Genghis Khan. So if anyone
- 15:13Speaker 1: has been holding on to this secret that they are
- 15:16Speaker 1: actually carrying Elon Musk's baby, now is the time to
- 15:20Speaker 1: step forward, be brave. He will step up and do
- 15:24Speaker 1: the right thing and pay you half a million a year.
- 15:27Speaker 1: So just put one in the chat if you are
- 15:30Speaker 1: pregnant with Elon Musk. Baby, it's all I'm saying. It's
- 15:33Speaker 1: us just will keep it confidential, just between us. We'll
- 15:36Speaker 1: put together an open letter, maybe have everyone sign on
- 15:39Speaker 1: it like a petition, and send it over to Elon
- 15:42Speaker 1: Musk's office, because I think that, you know, it's only
- 15:45Speaker 1: right that a man step up and support his children
- 15:51Speaker 1: and the people who carry his seed. So anyway, all right,
- 15:57Speaker 1: if that's all, I guess like, we'll see where this goes,
- 16:00Speaker 1: and we'll follow up with more information as the story unfolds,
- 16:06Speaker 1: if there is anything else. But yeah, I'm I'm with
- 16:09Speaker 1: Hannah and Mike. I mean, Ashley Saint Clair is trying
- 16:13Speaker 1: to stay relevant. She's trying to make money. She probably
- 16:17Speaker 1: she lives in Manhattan. Do you not much money it
- 16:19Speaker 1: costs to live in Manhattan?
- 16:21Speaker 3: She is doing fine, Hey, lot more than it costs
- 16:24Speaker 3: to live Dayton exactly.
- 16:26Speaker 1: She lived in Manhattan and she owned a tesla. So yeah,
- 16:31Speaker 1: I'm sure she's doing very well. But anyway, let us
- 16:34Speaker 1: move on to the next story. Let us know what
- 16:35Speaker 1: you guys up. But think about this one in the comments.
- 16:38Speaker 1: All right, looks like a lot of people are carrying
- 16:40Speaker 1: Elon Musk's baby. According to the chat, that makes sense.
- 16:43Speaker 1: We're all pregnant, all right. So the numbers are in
- 16:47Speaker 1: for the United Kingdom's Department for Education and it shows
- 16:51Speaker 1: something rather odd. Amongst the numbers for the academic year
- 16:55Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three, it states
- 16:57Speaker 1: that ninety four pupils faced pun for so called quote
- 17:02Speaker 1: abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity end quote. Ten
- 17:07Speaker 1: of these pupils were no older than seven years old,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and one of them was no older than four years old. Unfortunately,
- 17:15Speaker 1: for the records do not indicate the context behind these
- 17:19Speaker 1: alleged abuses, and the school has not only released any
- 17:23Speaker 1: has not released any details either. A spokesman for the
- 17:27Speaker 1: Department of Education in the UK that is said the
- 17:29Speaker 1: following quote. All pupils and staff should feel safe and
- 17:32Speaker 1: protected at school and should never face violence or abuse.
- 17:36Speaker 1: The Education Secretary has been clear that she expects school
- 17:40Speaker 1: leaders to enforce good behavior and we are committed to
- 17:44Speaker 1: a comprehensive program of behavior support for schools end quote.
- 17:49Speaker 2: It's the scene from Kindergarten Cup, isn't it.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Some boys have a pain as girls have a.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Gine normally a child that you might be, you know,
- 18:01Speaker 2: quietly admonished for saying that on the grounds that it's
- 18:05Speaker 2: an inappropriate thing to say in kindergarten Nowhere nowadays, they're
- 18:10Speaker 2: punished for saying it because it's it's against the syllabus.
- 18:14Speaker 2: You can't say that. It's like standing up and saying
- 18:17Speaker 2: two plus two is four. That is not true, young man.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Two plus two is whatever we say it is, and
- 18:24Speaker 2: it is heteronormative and white supremacist of you to insist
- 18:28Speaker 2: that it's four. No, the cow does not say move.
- 18:33Speaker 2: It says whatever it wants whenever it wants to. It
- 18:36Speaker 2: will not be compelled into speech against its will by
- 18:40Speaker 2: misogynistic farmers who steal their milk.
- 18:43Speaker 1: And no, it is not ABC.
- 18:46Speaker 2: It is l g B t q q A A
- 18:50Speaker 2: pp two plus and you better get it right or
- 18:55Speaker 2: that's a paddling.
- 18:57Speaker 1: You know.
- 18:58Speaker 2: It was bad enough when we were kids, and we
- 19:00Speaker 2: were so often told because I say so is valid reasoning.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Nowadays it's everything in reality is what I say it
- 19:12Speaker 2: is because I say so, and it always happens to
- 19:15Speaker 2: be exactly not what reality is. What is the point
- 19:20Speaker 2: in going to school if the only thing they're learning
- 19:24Speaker 2: is the teacher's fucked up gnostic ideology where everything is
- 19:28Speaker 2: bass awkwards. And at what point do we call that abuse?
- 19:35Speaker 2: What exactly did a four year old do that counts
- 19:39Speaker 2: as abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity? Pardon my balls,
- 19:46Speaker 2: but I don't think four year olds are even supposed
- 19:49Speaker 2: to know what the fuck sexual orientation is, And if
- 19:53Speaker 2: they are learning it from their teacher, then I think
- 19:56Speaker 2: that teacher is abusing them. It's in the school curriculum,
- 20:02Speaker 2: then the school curriculum is abusing them. But something tells
- 20:06Speaker 2: me it comes down to a teacher telling young children
- 20:10Speaker 2: about which body parts arouse them the most. I don't
- 20:14Speaker 2: know about you, but if I were in charge of
- 20:16Speaker 2: that school, my reaction would not be to charge abuse
- 20:21Speaker 2: to whichever child put his hand up and said, miss,
- 20:24Speaker 2: I don't care about your favorite flavor of carpet to munch,
- 20:29Speaker 2: I just want to play football.
- 20:32Speaker 1: How dare you?
- 20:32Speaker 2: It's not miss it's zim invaders ZIM to you. Ah,
- 20:39Speaker 2: I knew it. Yeah, No, My reaction would be, you're
- 20:45Speaker 2: telling these kids, what excuse me? I have a phone
- 20:50Speaker 2: call to make. Please collect all your stuff, put all
- 20:53Speaker 2: your rainbow flags into a box and proceed to the
- 20:57Speaker 2: front entrance of the building, where the police will be
- 20:59Speaker 2: way for you, preferably with a goddamn wood chip. Are
- 21:04Speaker 2: you raging nons? But of course I would never be
- 21:08Speaker 2: in charge of a school. I'm a man, and I
- 21:12Speaker 2: would never be allowed in a school, and thank God
- 21:15Speaker 2: for that. I fucking hate schools, I always have. They
- 21:19Speaker 2: are basically mental asylums, but sort of in reverse. It's
- 21:24Speaker 2: where healthy children are sent to become broken, miserable husks
- 21:30Speaker 2: of human beings. Homeschool your children, folks, do it yesterday,
- 21:36Speaker 2: or just don't school them at all, Let them play
- 21:39Speaker 2: outside with their friends. Anything's better than sending them to
- 21:44Speaker 2: an asylum run by lunatics and nances and lunatic nonss,
- 21:52Speaker 2: or just don't have kids. It's still an option. I
- 21:55Speaker 2: for one, wake up every day and thank the Lord
- 21:58Speaker 2: I have been spared this fate. I imagine how stressful
- 22:01Speaker 2: it is in this day and age. But you'll do you,
- 22:04Speaker 2: y'all whatever. Don't listen to me, after all, the only
- 22:07Speaker 2: people who could speak on this subject to other people
- 22:10Speaker 2: on one side of the argument. However, that works, So yeah,
- 22:13Speaker 2: I guess I'll shut up.
- 22:16Speaker 3: I can't help but think that when Pink Floyd said
- 22:23Speaker 3: we don't need no education, the British school system took
- 22:25Speaker 3: them seriously. I just obviously this is when I saw
- 22:34Speaker 3: this story, I just had to do a double tay
- 22:37Speaker 3: and I looked to see if it was on a
- 22:39Speaker 3: parody site too, because I know that there's been other
- 22:44Speaker 3: instances where zero tolerance meets gender ideology, and you get
- 22:52Speaker 3: a five year old being suspended in police being called
- 22:56Speaker 3: because he kissed a girl on the cheek. But this
- 23:00Speaker 3: is I think this is kind of a step beyond.
- 23:03Speaker 3: And I'll bet you it probably was like like you said,
- 23:07Speaker 3: you know, the kid looked at a teacher who is
- 23:12Speaker 3: a biological male and said mister, and the teacher objected
- 23:18Speaker 3: and treated it as a situation where instead of dealing
- 23:22Speaker 3: with a child, who is going to in the course
- 23:27Speaker 3: of dealing with any individual, make social faux pas by
- 23:36Speaker 3: spotting things that are real and true, like like the
- 23:40Speaker 3: little kid at this store the other day that pointed
- 23:43Speaker 3: and said that means in a wheelchair. Yes, honey, that
- 23:48Speaker 3: means in a wheelchair. He can't walk right, but that's
- 23:52Speaker 3: why he's in a wheelchair. And of course everybody's embarrassed.
- 23:56Speaker 3: But the kid just said something that was true, and
- 23:59Speaker 3: it's not embarrassing to be in a wheelchair. It's just
- 24:02Speaker 3: a thing. It is unusual. So the kid isn't making
- 24:06Speaker 3: an observation. They're not malicious. They're just saying what they see,
- 24:13Speaker 3: and they haven't learned not to say what they see
- 24:16Speaker 3: when it's stuff that the rest of us have learned
- 24:18Speaker 3: to not have concern over. The Only time we worry
- 24:22Speaker 3: about whether or not that man's in a wheelchair is
- 24:24Speaker 3: if we have to get him out of the store
- 24:25Speaker 3: quickly because it's on fire, or if he has difficulty
- 24:28Speaker 3: going through the checkout because they designed it to be
- 24:31Speaker 3: too narrow, And then you know, you provide assistance. Well,
- 24:36Speaker 3: when we're dealing with somebody who is a biological mail
- 24:40Speaker 3: in address, as long as that person's not being violent
- 24:44Speaker 3: or getting in your face or demanding that you do
- 24:47Speaker 3: things that you don't consider appropriate for him to demand
- 24:50Speaker 3: that you do, then you leave them alone. But in
- 24:56Speaker 3: this situation, you do have to question why it was
- 25:02Speaker 3: being a preschool teacher in a classroom, what this person
- 25:08Speaker 3: wanted to do, Because if I was going to be
- 25:13Speaker 3: dedicated to that right, my goal would be to nurture
- 25:19Speaker 3: the kids. And if I was in a situation where
- 25:25Speaker 3: I'm I'm female, and I'm in address and somebody says,
- 25:29Speaker 3: you know, you look like a man, or that lady
- 25:31Speaker 3: is really fat, right, yes, yes I am, but it's
- 25:36Speaker 3: not polite to talk about that. We already know by
- 25:40Speaker 3: looking at me, and we don't make those kind of
- 25:43Speaker 3: comments because sometimes it hurts people's feelings. And that's enough
- 25:49Speaker 3: to tell a little kid, right, And those are in
- 25:53Speaker 3: those details are important to notice, but they're not important
- 25:57Speaker 3: to talk about, and you might even have I have
- 26:00Speaker 3: a whole conversation with the classroom about the difference between
- 26:04Speaker 3: details that are important to talk about and details that
- 26:08Speaker 3: you just keep in mind because you know them, but
- 26:10Speaker 3: you don't have to say anything because everyone can see it,
- 26:13Speaker 3: and it can be upsetting for people to talk about them,
- 26:19Speaker 3: you know. And if somebody who had a loving and
- 26:24Speaker 3: caring and nurturing kind attitude toward children was in that situation,
- 26:30Speaker 3: even if their feelings were hurt, like you can, y'all
- 26:33Speaker 3: can call me if that all you want. My feelings
- 26:34Speaker 3: aren't gonna be hurt because you're saying the truth. And
- 26:37Speaker 3: I'm autistic, So it's not. It's not the same. It
- 26:41Speaker 3: doesn't work that way. But even if you know the
- 26:46Speaker 3: teacher is somebody who's like just breaking on the inside
- 26:50Speaker 3: from having a truth they don't like to think about
- 26:53Speaker 3: said about themselves, it's still if you're dedication in life
- 27:02Speaker 3: is to caring about and nurturing and guiding children and
- 27:07Speaker 3: how to be good, kind, loving adults who know their
- 27:12Speaker 3: alphabet and their numbers and all that this is the
- 27:17Speaker 3: worst possible response you could have to a kid saying
- 27:22Speaker 3: mister instead of missus or miss to a biological mail
- 27:27Speaker 3: and address. This is not going to help the child
- 27:33Speaker 3: change in the way that you want. This is going
- 27:37Speaker 3: to teach the child that you know people like you
- 27:42Speaker 3: are mean and abusive and should be avoided and distrusted
- 27:49Speaker 3: and certainly don't deserve any of their regard, any of
- 27:56Speaker 3: their respect because you're so fragile and so easily butt
- 28:03Speaker 3: hurt that you reacted to a five year old like
- 28:07Speaker 3: you would react to a fifty year old at work
- 28:12Speaker 3: or something along those lines. This individual who did this
- 28:18Speaker 3: does not belong in education and should get a job
- 28:22Speaker 3: somewhere else. Let somebody who actually has the patients to
- 28:29Speaker 3: nurture kids and teach them the things that are in
- 28:34Speaker 3: the curriculum, and also how to interact with people in
- 28:41Speaker 3: a polite and socially adept manner instead of somebody who's
- 28:49Speaker 3: going to throw a temper tantrum because they're not being
- 28:52Speaker 3: their emotions, they're not being coddled by the five year olds.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I just think that if there is a charge of
- 29:06Speaker 1: homophobia or transphobia on a four year old boy or girl,
- 29:10Speaker 1: but I'm guessing it was probably a boy, it wasn't
- 29:14Speaker 1: coming from another student, it was coming from a teacher,
- 29:18Speaker 1: and I think they either became busybodies and presumed that
- 29:22Speaker 1: the person was being transphobia even though they were just
- 29:25Speaker 1: a child, and they were like, you know, presumably misgendering
- 29:29Speaker 1: another student or and I think this is the more
- 29:33Speaker 1: likely uh you know, outcome, or the most the more
- 29:36Speaker 1: likely scenario which I looked into. Unfortunately, because this involves minors,
- 29:41Speaker 1: there is no like, no identities are being revealed by anything,
- 29:44Speaker 1: so we can't ever know for sure, at least not
- 29:47Speaker 1: at this point. But what I'm guessing is is that
- 29:49Speaker 1: the teacher was someone who was identifying, as you know,
- 29:55Speaker 1: outside the norm, and the student made the terrible awful
- 30:00Speaker 1: mistake of correctly assuming their gender, like based on biology,
- 30:06Speaker 1: because I think a four year old boy or a
- 30:09Speaker 1: girl knows the difference between a boy and a girl. Like.
- 30:12Speaker 1: They can tell because they see the faces of men
- 30:18Speaker 1: and women differently, even as babies, right, Like they have
- 30:21Speaker 1: a different response to the mother's face versus the father's
- 30:25Speaker 1: face and so on, so they can probably tell. So
- 30:28Speaker 1: my guess is that the teacher was offended either on
- 30:31Speaker 1: behalf of a student that didn't ask them to be
- 30:34Speaker 1: or for themselves, and reprimanded the student because they get
- 30:38Speaker 1: a sense of control or power over a fucking child.
- 30:42Speaker 1: And yeah, Mike, if a kid knows what sexual orientation means,
- 30:48Speaker 1: something really, really weird is afoot and shouldn't People should
- 30:52Speaker 1: get their hard drives looked at, is what I'm saying.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Yeah, And if it did come down to a four
- 30:58Speaker 2: year old misgender the sexual orientation of another four year old,
- 31:02Speaker 2: it suckles back to the same problem. Why would a
- 31:05Speaker 2: four year old have any sense of their own sexual orientation?
- 31:08Speaker 1: Right?
- 31:09Speaker 2: They shouldn't know what the fuck that is?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Super weird, weird weird.
- 31:15Speaker 3: So I have I have a very distinct memory of
- 31:21Speaker 3: a bunch of kids in my neighborhood bullying one of
- 31:25Speaker 3: the boys in my neighborhood because he was a little
- 31:29Speaker 3: bit different by calling him a girl and a woman
- 31:34Speaker 3: and stuff like that. And he was, you know, when
- 31:40Speaker 3: he was older, he was bisexual, so there was there
- 31:45Speaker 3: was definitely some differences with him then there were, but
- 31:49Speaker 3: not all, not all gay men or bisexual men have
- 31:52Speaker 3: anything about them that could be considered effeminine. Some of
- 31:56Speaker 3: my most butch guys, some of the most rowdy, the
- 32:00Speaker 3: manly men I've met, have been very very gay, and
- 32:05Speaker 3: you wouldn't know by talking to them unless you ask
- 32:08Speaker 3: them about their relationships. Right, But it's possible if it
- 32:13Speaker 3: was another kid. I don't think it was another kid,
- 32:15Speaker 3: but it's possible if it was another kid, that it
- 32:17Speaker 3: was an incident like that. But even then, the conversation
- 32:24Speaker 3: should not have been about gender, because bullying is something
- 32:28Speaker 3: that kids have to learn not to do, and the
- 32:31Speaker 3: conversation there should be about conflict management and kindness and
- 32:36Speaker 3: getting along with the people around you, and you know,
- 32:39Speaker 3: the things that you discussed when it's anti bullying, If
- 32:43Speaker 3: you single out gender issues and make them a special
- 32:48Speaker 3: unique thing with regard to anti bullying, what you get
- 32:51Speaker 3: is a situation and where gender issues become a thing
- 32:57Speaker 3: that can be used for cry bullying. And I hope
- 33:01Speaker 3: it wasn't that kind of situation because now all those
- 33:05Speaker 3: kids have just learned that if if you want to
- 33:09Speaker 3: bully another person, you use gender issues and specifically gender
- 33:15Speaker 3: identity issues and you cry bully.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Yep. All right, Well, let us know what you guys
- 33:23Speaker 1: think about this one. In the comments. I got a
- 33:24Speaker 1: couple of super child's I want to read out and
- 33:26Speaker 1: then we'll move on to the next story. So Michael
- 33:28Speaker 1: Emrick Windberg gives us five dollars and said, this was
- 33:31Speaker 1: like at the start of the show. Nice job, mister Martinez.
- 33:34Speaker 1: I was rating and your news got me killed when
- 33:37Speaker 1: I gave a double take. Well then it looks like
- 33:39Speaker 1: my April thing worked on somebody. I don't know what
- 33:43Speaker 1: that says about you, but there you go. Meredith G
- 33:48Speaker 1: gives us five dollars. Thank you, Meredith G. And she says,
- 33:51Speaker 1: HPR News four ninety six, honey for the Badgers. And
- 33:54Speaker 1: then I got another five from the one good Man.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, the one good Man. I'm glad
- 33:59Speaker 1: that you found like the time to grace us with
- 34:03Speaker 1: your presence. As we all know, the one good man is,
- 34:06Speaker 1: in fact the one could. Yeah right, And he says,
- 34:13Speaker 1: I'm carrying Elon Musk's baby, as I haven't got a
- 34:16Speaker 1: womb to just state the fetus. I'm going to keep
- 34:19Speaker 1: it in a box, and you're gonna put that box
- 34:22Speaker 1: in another box and then mail that box to yourself,
- 34:25Speaker 1: then match it with a hammer.
- 34:27Speaker 2: We were all on from a box.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Yes, we did come from the boxes. We all came
- 34:33Speaker 1: from boxes. Hey look, I'm sorry, I'm confused because I'm hormonal,
- 34:37Speaker 1: because carrying a baby does all kinds of weird stuff
- 34:40Speaker 1: to your system. So anyway, let us know what you
- 34:42Speaker 1: guys think about this one in the comments. We're gonna
- 34:44Speaker 1: move on to the next story, and we're gonna top.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Does this next story top the last one? There is
- 34:51Speaker 1: a bit of a relationship, so here we have. Let
- 34:54Speaker 1: me just let's just watch this, let me read this,
- 34:57Speaker 1: and then I'll play this video. Okay. So as April first,
- 35:00Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, a Fox News article reports that someone
- 35:04Speaker 1: named J. D. Terrapin Holt, a member of Oregon's health authority,
- 35:09Speaker 1: the OHA Consumer Advisory Council, identifies as a turtle and
- 35:15Speaker 1: uses they them and turtle pronouns. I just thought this
- 35:20Speaker 1: was weird. Holt announced this during a virtual meeting on
- 35:23Speaker 1: December twenty, twenty twenty four, introducing themselves as part of
- 35:26Speaker 1: the Council Advising OHA. This is the Oregon Health Authority. Okay,
- 35:32Speaker 1: this is just so weirdo. This is this is someone
- 35:35Speaker 1: with state power advising OHA director doctor Sejal Hafi on
- 35:42Speaker 1: mental health policies. THECAC, established by state statute and appointed
- 35:49Speaker 1: by Hafi, who was selected by Governor Tina Kotek, includes
- 35:53Speaker 1: about two dozen members, tasks with reviewing and recommending behavioral
- 35:57Speaker 1: health strategies. The article notes that that turtle gender is
- 36:01Speaker 1: described on gender Wiki. It's a real gender as a
- 36:06Speaker 1: xeno gender tied to a connection with turtles. OHA defense
- 36:11Speaker 1: Holtz inclusion, stating that all council members bring valued perspectives
- 36:15Speaker 1: from lived experiences with behavioral health challenges. The story has
- 36:19Speaker 1: sparked some reactions, with some questioning Holt's role in mental
- 36:23Speaker 1: health policy due to her identity. What do you got
- 36:26Speaker 1: a problem with with turtles? Okay, so let me just
- 36:29Speaker 1: play this clip. See if you can guess which one
- 36:32Speaker 1: of these people is the turtle gender.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Hello everybody, it's JD. Turtle and pronouns. Uh, pronouns are
- 36:40Speaker 4: turtle and they them Hello everybody, it's JV ausay theam
- 36:44Speaker 4: or turtle for pronouns. Hello everybody, it's JD datam and
- 36:48Speaker 4: turtle for pronouns in the penfieldy gene area.
- 36:52Speaker 1: So yeah, that Yeah.
- 36:56Speaker 2: It's tempting to say it's the one who looks like
- 36:58Speaker 2: a turtle, but they all look at little bit reptilian.
- 37:04Speaker 3: The question is are they not turtlely enough for the
- 37:07Speaker 3: Turtle Club?
- 37:08Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the turtle's penis? I just want
- 37:11Speaker 2: to I mean maybe maybe.
- 37:15Speaker 3: YouTube videos that ever. Ho You think it's going to
- 37:21Speaker 3: be this cute animal video and it's not.
- 37:25Speaker 2: It's like a mushroom cloud. Well, it's like a mushroom,
- 37:29Speaker 2: a mushroom far bigger than you would expect to come
- 37:32Speaker 2: out of a turtle. Don't watch it. It's it's actually
- 37:35Speaker 2: one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.
- 37:38Speaker 3: And also, if you're going to put a video of
- 37:40Speaker 3: animal dick on YouTube, please title it so that the
- 37:43Speaker 3: rest of us know that it's not going to be
- 37:45Speaker 3: cute and funny and we don't want to watch it.
- 37:48Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, I know what you all are thinking.
- 37:51Speaker 2: The first words of this write up were once again
- 37:53Speaker 2: as of April the first, and yeah, this is the
- 37:56Speaker 2: one day of the year where when we're expected to
- 37:59Speaker 2: apply pose law to everything we see and hear. But
- 38:04Speaker 2: if we've learned anything over the past ten years, it's
- 38:06Speaker 2: that every day might as well be April the first.
- 38:10Speaker 2: It's getting so ridiculous that we can't tell anymore from
- 38:14Speaker 2: any given person's perspective. It feels like we're in the
- 38:17Speaker 2: Truman Show, and that they're not even subjecting us to
- 38:23Speaker 2: a facsimile of reality. It feels like we're being subjected
- 38:26Speaker 2: to an experiment like how ridiculous can it get? Before
- 38:31Speaker 2: the subject in question? The patient in question finally starts
- 38:35Speaker 2: to think, wait, this is not real. This can't possibly
- 38:41Speaker 2: be real. The meta of this reality has been established.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Some people adhere to a religious worldview where certain morals
- 38:51Speaker 2: are held as sacrosanct, and some people it here who
- 38:54Speaker 2: the so called Enlightenment, where certain logical apprehensions are also
- 38:59Speaker 2: held as sacrasanct. For all the arguments that have taken
- 39:04Speaker 2: place in the last few millennia between the secular mindset
- 39:08Speaker 2: and the religious mindset. They can surely both agree that
- 39:11Speaker 2: you can't just say you're a thing and therefore become
- 39:16Speaker 2: that thing. It goes against anything and everything that can
- 39:19Speaker 2: even be ascertained by any intellectual approach to the world.
- 39:25Speaker 2: So how the fuck has this happened? Well, it happened
- 39:29Speaker 2: because it was lynchpinned by a certain gender ideology, the
- 39:35Speaker 2: notion that men and women should not exist as differentiable entities.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Even the original communism couldn't bury this agent of chaos
- 39:49Speaker 2: in the general public in terms of you know, class
- 39:53Speaker 2: or wealth, but feminism did just that. It convinced everyone
- 39:59Speaker 2: that the difference between men and women should not exist.
- 40:03Speaker 2: By all accounts, it does exist, but these mental motherfuckers
- 40:07Speaker 2: exist insisted it shouldn't exist, and thereby they convinced everyone
- 40:12Speaker 2: that it doesn't. That's why it started with a man
- 40:17Speaker 2: is nothing and a woman is nothing. And because it
- 40:20Speaker 2: wasn't rejected on its face like it should have been,
- 40:23Speaker 2: it buried itself in our culture like the parasite it is,
- 40:27Speaker 2: and it began dissolving everything else that we once knew
- 40:32Speaker 2: as true. And this is why we at Honeybadger Radio
- 40:36Speaker 2: focus on the head vampire. And we've been focusing on
- 40:40Speaker 2: it since eleven years ago. We'll take because it's the
- 40:44Speaker 2: head fucking vampire. Even in the heart of the communist empire,
- 40:50Speaker 2: it never occurred to anyone that a human can.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Be a turtle.
- 40:54Speaker 2: It was far too ridiculous, even for Lenin or Stalin.
- 40:58Speaker 2: And it's because humanity is not all that susceptible to
- 41:03Speaker 2: propaganda along the lines of the rich and the poor.
- 41:06Speaker 2: But what we've learned over the past century or so
- 41:09Speaker 2: is that humanity is extremely susceptible to propaganda along the
- 41:14Speaker 2: lines of men and women. We're not all that concerned
- 41:18Speaker 2: about the gap between the rich and the poor, but
- 41:20Speaker 2: by default we are desperately concerned to make sure that
- 41:25Speaker 2: we're not oppressing women, and we give negative shits about
- 41:29Speaker 2: whether or not we're oppressing men. So if you can
- 41:33Speaker 2: establish an ideology, a version of communism wherein women are
- 41:38Speaker 2: being oppressed by men, let alone the notion that women
- 41:43Speaker 2: are oppressed by men everywhere and always have been, you
- 41:46Speaker 2: can create a constant state of moral panic from which
- 41:52Speaker 2: you can spawn any other kind of identity crisis. That's
- 41:56Speaker 2: why anything goes at this point, Because these ideologues have
- 42:01Speaker 2: spent a century or so shitting inside our most fundamental
- 42:05Speaker 2: understanding of reality, that men and women are fundamentally different.
- 42:11Speaker 2: If you can pull that thread out of our brains,
- 42:14Speaker 2: you can pull any other thread, and that's what happens.
- 42:19Speaker 2: So please, folks, if you want to know why people
- 42:22Speaker 2: are identifying as terrapins and getting away with it, it's
- 42:27Speaker 2: because men can and long since have identified as women
- 42:32Speaker 2: and vice versa. If you allow that, you allow anything
- 42:36Speaker 2: you need to get over this bizarre, unfounded, unscientific notion
- 42:42Speaker 2: that men oppress women everywhere and always have. Otherwise the
- 42:45Speaker 2: seeds will keep germinating, these creeping ivs, Like I know,
- 42:51Speaker 2: that's what we would say because that's our speciality. But
- 42:55Speaker 2: it's our speciality because we're right. We've always been right.
- 43:00Speaker 2: That's why we've been doing this since the rest of
- 43:04Speaker 2: you were in diapers, the online equivalent of diapers. I mean,
- 43:08Speaker 2: that's why we've been banished to the shadow realm because
- 43:14Speaker 2: we were right first. Nobody's listening to us, but whatever,
- 43:20Speaker 2: at least we're still here saying it, and we'll keep
- 43:24Speaker 2: saying it. Only bad you don't give a shit. You've
- 43:27Speaker 2: a liking a comment, and don't forget to share, because
- 43:29Speaker 2: sharing is carrying.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Sharing, is carrying.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Something that struck me when I saw this is these
- 43:39Speaker 3: people are the ones deciding what is right in terms
- 43:45Speaker 3: of availability of assistance programs, what gets funded in terms
- 43:51Speaker 3: of assistance programs, what types of programs it approved, what
- 43:58Speaker 3: styles of therapy, what the therapists are allowed to promote,
- 44:02Speaker 3: and so on with regard to helping people with mental
- 44:07Speaker 3: illnesses make their way in the world without being in
- 44:10Speaker 3: conflict with the whole rest of the culture, you know,
- 44:14Speaker 3: or without being socially and economically paralyzed by their mental
- 44:21Speaker 3: health condition. So it can be rough for people with
- 44:28Speaker 3: more easily understood conditions like depression that just make you
- 44:36Speaker 3: a lot less motivated, that can attack yourself esteem, that
- 44:40Speaker 3: can make it hard for you to find happiness, that
- 44:44Speaker 3: can cause suicidality and stuff. The supports the individual needs
- 44:48Speaker 3: are pretty straightforward in terms of that disorder, right, But
- 44:53Speaker 3: there are mental health conditions that cause disorders of perception
- 44:57Speaker 3: where your brain doesn't tell you the truth about what
- 45:02Speaker 3: you're perceiving around you. The signals come in, then they
- 45:06Speaker 3: get mixed up, and then you heard something different than
- 45:09Speaker 3: the person said to you, or you heard the guy
- 45:13Speaker 3: on a television talking directly to you, or you see
- 45:18Speaker 3: somebody in the room who isn't there, or you don't
- 45:21Speaker 3: see something in the room that is there, And that's
- 45:25Speaker 3: an oversimplification, but it can be very difficult to navigate
- 45:31Speaker 3: your environment if you cannot accurately perceive your environment, and
- 45:37Speaker 3: it can be very difficult to navigate your culture if
- 45:41Speaker 3: you cannot accurately perceive the environment in which your engagement
- 45:46Speaker 3: with your culture is taking place, and especially if you
- 45:50Speaker 3: cannot accurately perceive your interactions with other people and the
- 45:54Speaker 3: other people themselves and so on. Right, So, if you
- 45:58Speaker 3: get somebody who is so entrenched in the idea that
- 46:01Speaker 3: perception is reality, that they have decided that their beliefs,
- 46:09Speaker 3: their desires are perceptions and those are reality, they really
- 46:16Speaker 3: should not be in charge of your treatment. If you have,
- 46:21Speaker 3: say schizophrenia or its gezo effective disorder, or any disorder
- 46:28Speaker 3: that causes you to whether it's perception of physical details
- 46:34Speaker 3: or perception of other people's motivations, inability to understand what
- 46:40Speaker 3: you're experiencing, inability to understand what other people are experiencing.
- 46:46Speaker 3: The person who thinks that whatever they want is reality
- 46:50Speaker 3: should not be deciding what kind of therapy, you can
- 46:53Speaker 3: get that individual is going to be upset if a
- 46:58Speaker 3: therapist it tries to help you understand that sometimes things
- 47:02Speaker 3: you see aren't real, or things are not as you
- 47:05Speaker 3: see them, or or things that you conclude based on
- 47:11Speaker 3: your perceptions are wrong, and you can be wrong about
- 47:14Speaker 3: the reality around you, and and being wrong about the
- 47:18Speaker 3: reality around you, you might behave in a way that's
- 47:21Speaker 3: contradictory to what everybody else sees. Right. You might even
- 47:25Speaker 3: put yourself at odds with people and get yourself in trouble.
- 47:29Speaker 3: And this is the norm now that these people are
- 47:35Speaker 3: getting involved with the field of psychology and psychiatry. They're
- 47:41Speaker 3: either getting involved by getting a degree in the subject
- 47:45Speaker 3: and actually becoming the therapist or the administrator or the
- 47:51Speaker 3: person you know, deciding who and what gets funded and
- 47:55Speaker 3: so on, or they're becoming activists and they're getting on
- 48:00Speaker 3: boards like this, and they don't even have to have
- 48:05Speaker 3: any kind of degree, They don't necessarily have to be
- 48:08Speaker 3: that knowledgeable. They just have to to talk about experience.
- 48:13Speaker 3: And there was I watched some of the other videos
- 48:17Speaker 3: that were highlighted in regard to the Oregon Health Authority,
- 48:22Speaker 3: and there was one person who identified herself as running
- 48:29Speaker 3: down her credentials. One of the things that she gave
- 48:32Speaker 3: was lived experience, and her lived experience is it was
- 48:38Speaker 3: with the actual patient being the patient, not the caregiver
- 48:46Speaker 3: in terms of this kind of mental health condition. So
- 48:53Speaker 3: now you have the inmates running the asylum. Now you
- 48:57Speaker 3: have a situation where let's say, you know, Bob has
- 49:04Speaker 3: a disorder that affects his perception. It makes it difficult
- 49:08Speaker 3: for him to read, It makes it difficult for him
- 49:11Speaker 3: to receive and follow instructions in the workplace, so it
- 49:15Speaker 3: makes it difficult for him to hold a job. And
- 49:18Speaker 3: he's on the border between being functionally disabled and being
- 49:25Speaker 3: employable and capable of self support. And these people are
- 49:32Speaker 3: making the decisions on what kind of assistance Bob can get,
- 49:37Speaker 3: and they decide that you're not allowed to treat Bob's
- 49:42Speaker 3: perceptions as if they are not reality. And suddenly, instead
- 49:47Speaker 3: of helping Bob deal with all right, how do I
- 49:51Speaker 3: judge my perceptions? How do I get better at receiving
- 49:57Speaker 3: the instructions I need to do my job, I maintain
- 50:00Speaker 3: my employability. It's I can't do anything because the rest
- 50:06Speaker 3: of the world is wrong. And now Bob is disabled. Right,
- 50:09Speaker 3: instead of being able to find employment and sustain himself,
- 50:15Speaker 3: he now has to rely on other people, and he
- 50:19Speaker 3: has to trust that his society is his community is
- 50:23Speaker 3: going to take care of him because he won't be
- 50:26Speaker 3: able to take care of himself. They've just robbed Bob
- 50:29Speaker 3: of his independence. That kind of is just affecting Bob
- 50:36Speaker 3: and the taxpayer. Right, Well, what if Bob needs that
- 50:41Speaker 3: that help in order to maintain a level of emotional stability.
- 50:48Speaker 3: And what if Bob has violent tendencies when he doesn't
- 50:53Speaker 3: maintain a level of emotional stability and that's taken away
- 50:58Speaker 3: from him, Right, Bob may be pushed into criminality in
- 51:03Speaker 3: that situation, and he may hurt somebody and that individual
- 51:07Speaker 3: did nothing to these people, and yet they caused that
- 51:11Speaker 3: individual's injury. And then then it becomes more of a
- 51:15Speaker 3: community problem, and there's a whole spectrum of things that
- 51:19Speaker 3: can happen because somebody has these type of disorders and
- 51:26Speaker 3: they need help, they need guidance, and they need medications
- 51:32Speaker 3: or treatment or you know, other other supports. Maybe somebody
- 51:37Speaker 3: to just stop by and make sure they're okay every day,
- 51:41Speaker 3: and they don't get it because these these people can't
- 51:47Speaker 3: abide by the idea that you know your perception isn't
- 51:52Speaker 3: necessarily always reality. So one of the one of the
- 51:54Speaker 3: biggest mistakes that we've had as a society among various
- 52:02Speaker 3: groups of people, whether it's business entities, entities in the
- 52:05Speaker 3: psychiatric treatment world, education entities, journalistic entities, is the acceptance
- 52:15Speaker 3: of the idea that perception is reality. Just because you
- 52:20Speaker 3: perceive something to be a certain way doesn't mean that's
- 52:22Speaker 3: what's true. And just because you don't notice something doesn't
- 52:26Speaker 3: mean it doesn't exist. And this person that identifies as
- 52:33Speaker 3: a turtle has gotten to the point of failing to
- 52:37Speaker 3: understand that just because you want something to be real
- 52:42Speaker 3: doesn't mean it is. It's the worst type of person
- 52:46Speaker 3: to have in charge of providing care approving care for
- 52:53Speaker 3: other people who need assistance in determining what is real.
- 53:00Speaker 3: And this is going to have a really profound effect
- 53:03Speaker 3: on men, because more often than not, when someone falls
- 53:08Speaker 3: through the cracks and becomes disabled or and ends up
- 53:14Speaker 3: at odds with the law and the community because of
- 53:17Speaker 3: their mental health condition, it's a man. Men more often
- 53:22Speaker 3: become homeless because of this, Men more often end up
- 53:27Speaker 3: injured or suicidal self injuring because of this, because they don't.
- 53:33Speaker 3: They're not like women who will show off their scars. Yeah, cutter,
- 53:37Speaker 3: look at me. I need the attention. They will hide it,
- 53:43Speaker 3: they will cover it up. They'll be the guy that
- 53:46Speaker 3: you see wearing a turtleneck in July because they don't
- 53:51Speaker 3: want you to know that they have scars, and they
- 53:57Speaker 3: won't get help. So this is a huge you And
- 54:01Speaker 3: it's funny, you know, to laugh at turtle turtle girl,
- 54:05Speaker 3: and you know I could, I could joke about it
- 54:08Speaker 3: and everything, and you're like, ah, for here, here henceforth,
- 54:11Speaker 3: I identify as a squirrel. You know. My in fact
- 54:15Speaker 3: I identify specifically is that cartoon phone me the squirrel. So, uh,
- 54:21Speaker 3: if you don't, if you don't use my proper pronouns
- 54:23Speaker 3: and worship me, I will I will hit you all
- 54:26Speaker 3: with my squirrely wrath. But the reality is this is
- 54:30Speaker 3: incredibly insidious and dark and uh, we you know, we
- 54:37Speaker 3: really should be deeply concerned. If this is happening in Oregon,
- 54:41Speaker 3: could be happening in your state, right, could be happening
- 54:44Speaker 3: in your county. Something to take note of. And it
- 54:50Speaker 3: is something that our civil servants ought to be addressing
- 54:55Speaker 3: because this should never happen.
- 55:00Speaker 1: No, this is a product of toxic positivity, where people
- 55:06Speaker 1: are so open and so what they claim to be
- 55:09Speaker 1: so open minded that they will accept anything that someone
- 55:12Speaker 1: puts forward as an identity. And so I would say
- 55:16Speaker 1: that when someone says something obviously delusional, no one is
- 55:23Speaker 1: saying that we should be necessarily cruel unless they bring
- 55:26Speaker 1: it on themselves by essentially like demanding that you you know,
- 55:30Speaker 1: essentially rearrange truth itself to like make them comfortable. But
- 55:36Speaker 1: this only happens because people encourage it, they embrace it,
- 55:40Speaker 1: and they say, oh yeah, one hundred percent bum with you.
- 55:43Speaker 1: Let's let's address you as a turtle and give you
- 55:47Speaker 1: they them pronouns. This is toxic positivity. This is like
- 55:51Speaker 1: the sort of like a generally open minded liberal worldview
- 55:57Speaker 1: taken to its like complete conclusion, like no matter what
- 56:02Speaker 1: you say, no matter how against truth it is, no
- 56:06Speaker 1: matter how anti reality it is, we're going to go
- 56:09Speaker 1: along with it because the last thing we want to
- 56:11Speaker 1: do is look like a bad person. And that's really
- 56:13Speaker 1: what it comes down to. These people don't do this
- 56:15Speaker 1: because they genuinely care about someone else's well being. They
- 56:19Speaker 1: do this because they're trying to avoid looking like a
- 56:22Speaker 1: bad person, because they're so convinced that they are really
- 56:25Speaker 1: good people that they will lie to themselves and lie
- 56:29Speaker 1: to people that are asking them to lie on their
- 56:33Speaker 1: behalf about their identity in order to protect the perception
- 56:38Speaker 1: of their own like negative judgment. So everyone is sitting
- 56:43Speaker 1: on that panel with this woman and they're going along
- 56:46Speaker 1: with it because those people think that that makes them
- 56:49Speaker 1: better people, even if it drives this woman to suicide,
- 56:53Speaker 1: which could happen if she's like so, you know, experiencing
- 56:57Speaker 1: so much toxic positivity that no one ever says you're crazy,
- 57:01Speaker 1: or no one ever says, actually, you're not a turtle,
- 57:04Speaker 1: you're a human being or whatever, because no one has
- 57:06Speaker 1: the balls to do it because they don't want to
- 57:08Speaker 1: tell the truth because they what they want to do
- 57:10Speaker 1: is they want to just say, you know, whatever you
- 57:12Speaker 1: say is fine, and I'm just gonna go along with it.
- 57:15Speaker 1: It's just like when you know a woman, like you
- 57:17Speaker 1: have a bunch of girls and they're and they're at
- 57:20Speaker 1: a podcast and the host says, why don't you guys
- 57:22Speaker 1: rate yourself on a scale of one to ten? And
- 57:24Speaker 1: they all rate themselves and each other a ten that
- 57:28Speaker 1: is the same thing. It's like I don't want to disagree.
- 57:30Speaker 1: I don't want to go against the grain. I don't
- 57:32Speaker 1: want to rock the boat. So I'm just gonna say
- 57:34Speaker 1: whatever is gonna like give me more acceptance and more
- 57:38Speaker 1: favor with this group of people, even if I am
- 57:42Speaker 1: lying to them, Like if I tell you, yeah, you're
- 57:44Speaker 1: four hundred pounds, but just eat whatever you want. No
- 57:47Speaker 1: one is allowed to judge you or whatever for for
- 57:50Speaker 1: how you eat or how you live. And these people will,
- 57:53Speaker 1: I mean, if they like literally want to believe it,
- 57:57Speaker 1: they will destroy themselves. And there are lots of like,
- 58:00Speaker 1: for example, body positive influencers who have died because they
- 58:04Speaker 1: were just like trying to convince the world and themselves
- 58:07Speaker 1: and they were living in like an endless positive feedback
- 58:11Speaker 1: luke of people telling them, oh, no, you're perfect, beautiful
- 58:14Speaker 1: at any size, and then they die of a heart
- 58:16Speaker 1: attack or diabetes or whatever. And we're all just supposed
- 58:19Speaker 1: to pretend like, well, I don't know how that happened.
- 58:21Speaker 1: I haven't that came from nowhere. It's like, no, she
- 58:24Speaker 1: was not. You weren't telling them the truth. Like these
- 58:27Speaker 1: people should know, they should if you love someone, you
- 58:30Speaker 1: tell them the truth. You don't just you're not just
- 58:32Speaker 1: nice to them. That's not love. That's just like you
- 58:36Speaker 1: protecting yourself. So yeah, I mean, like I it's serious,
- 58:41Speaker 1: but it's like it's on these other people, like they
- 58:44Speaker 1: you know, they're they have a role to play in that.
- 58:47Speaker 2: I feel like I have to push against this notion
- 58:50Speaker 2: of toxic positivity because it's like god sad notion of
- 58:54Speaker 2: suicidal empathy. Oh okay, Like it's you're giving them too
- 59:01Speaker 2: much well positivity like the like, like they're just trying
- 59:11Speaker 2: too hard to be positive. No, they hate their own people.
- 59:17Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, Like it's this isn't some corruption of positivity.
- 59:22Speaker 2: It's just negativity. It's just negativity towards towards your own people.
- 59:31Speaker 2: It's it's just it just manifests as positive as positivity
- 59:35Speaker 2: towards the other people. Just just like toxic xenophobia is
- 59:44Speaker 2: exactly what it sounds like. It's just you hate people
- 59:46Speaker 2: who aren't like you. And yeah there's the there is
- 59:49Speaker 2: the equal and opposite reaction as new too would would
- 59:53Speaker 2: would call it. It's just it's just you hate your own.
- 59:57Speaker 1: People.
- 59:58Speaker 2: And to call it suicidal empathy or toxic positivity. It's
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: just to play into their own paradigm that they're just
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: being positive, that they're just being nice, and that they're
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: just being nice to a fault. No, they're being nasty
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: to a fault. It's just that they're being nasty in
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: a direction that we're not trained to understand. Like, it's
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: perfectly possible to just hate your own people. It's perfectly
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: possible to hate your neighbor, but to love the people
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: as far away as you from possible because you love
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: the the isolated tribes of Sentinel Island or fucking pap
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: New Guinea or stuff like. No, no, we don't hate
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: our own people. We just love the other people.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: No, you don't.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: You are not full of love. These people are not
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: full of love. And it's not a toxic kind of love.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: It's not, you know, a kind of love that's gone
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: too far. No, it's a kind of hate.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: It's it's a it's.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: A kind of hate that we just don't recognize as
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: a kind of hate, so we keep calling it a
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: kind of love.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: It's not.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: It's just fucking hate of your own kind. And it's
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: just so difficult to get across to people that such
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: a thing can even exist, or even that it's a
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: modern phenomenon. No, it's not. It's a phenomenon that has
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: existed for all the time. It's just it only seems
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: to manifest in in uh in civilizations and indeed empires
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: who have who have reached the conclusion that they've gone
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: too far, and and and so now that our empire
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: and our civilization has gone too far, the only solution
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: is to hate our own, our own civilization, our own empire,
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: our own people. Like no, no, none of it's not
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: toxic positivity. It's just it's toxic negativity towards our own people.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: Like yeah, I know, I just I just loot the song.
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: Just go look up a particular song by three Dog Night.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: Easy to be hard read the lyrics, right, I mean
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: just the chorus alone, and especially people who care about strangers,
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: who care about evil and social injustice. Do you only
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: care about the bleeding crowd? How about a needy friend?
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: We all need a friend. And the whole point of
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: that song is people who fail to spot the people
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: around them as as human beings and look to everywhere
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: else and look to issues, look to people in a distance,
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: The starving children in Africa are more important than your
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: own kids in your own home. And if you ever
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: have seen the musical Hair, that that song has a
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: place in that musical where there's a hippie who has
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: run off to join a bunch of other hippies who's
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: their whole lifestyle is running around getting high, talking about
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: social issues and protesting and stuff. And he has abandoned
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: his family to do this, and his wife comes and
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: begs him to come home because his children need him,
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: and he says, you don't understand I'm doing great things
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: right basically I'm paraphrasing here, but basically telling her that
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: this lifestyle makes a difference in the world and it's
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: more important than his family, and he doesn't doesn't see
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: a need to come home. And she sings this song
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: walking away from him after realizing that, you know, her
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: poes have fallen on deaf ears and he's not coming home.
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: And that's basically what we do in our civilization right now,
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: right We worry about the bigger picture. We try to
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: be good people while not trying to do anything good
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: or important in the real world.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I I don't disagree. I don't think it.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: I guess like the way I would say is that
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: I wasn't What I meant by toxic positivity is is
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: it isn't real. It is exactly as Mike describes it.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: These people don't do this because they care about the person.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: They do this because they want to be seen as
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: good people. So it doesn't have any depth to it.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: It isn't actually love, right, It just it just looks
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: a bit like it, but it isn't. It is not.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: There's nothing about it as genuine. So yeah, I mean,
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: I see what Mike is coming from. I would say
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: that it's probably not the the right way to put it,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: but but that is what I was getting at saying. Anyway,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: let us tell you guys think about this one in
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: the comments. I got one more story we're gonna get
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: to and this could this could create a bit of
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: a rant, but all right, speaking of ninjas and turtles,
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: it will create Yes, I know, I know, all right,
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: So speaking of Ninja's and turtles, I was I was
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: trying to like figure out some way of doing the
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Ninja turtle song with that woman's pronouns. But I couldn't
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: be bothered. So anyway, but we do have a story
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: that tail ends right into it. Tredder did nothing wrong.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: On March twenty seven, twenty twenty five, UK Prime Minister
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: Kiers Starmer announce a ban on ninja swords effective August
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: Firth first, twenty twenty five, as part of Ronan's Law.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: That's not a joke that I know you're thinking of
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: Ronan's like the samashlist Samurai, but no, it's actually named
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: after sixteen year old Ronan Kanda, who was killed with
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: such a weapon in twenty twenty two. The band makes
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: it illegal to process, manufacture, import or sell ninja swords,
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: defined as blades between fourteen and twenty four inches with
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: a straight cutting edge and a Tonto style point oh
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: specific starting August first's. Possession in private carries a penalty
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: of up to six months in prison, set to increase
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: to two years under the Crime and Policing Bill currently
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: in parliament. Carrying any weapon in public already incurs up
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: to four years in prison. A surrender scheme from July
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: first to July thirty first of twenty twenty five allows
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: owners to hand over their ninja swords for compensation. If
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: you have any ninjasaords lying around, guys only for purchases
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: made before March twenty seven, twenty twenty five, with market
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: value claims requiring receipts or a default five pounds per
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: sword with proof of ownership. The move addresses or attempts
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: to address U's knife crime crisis, with fifty nine and
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: seventy three sharp instrument offenses recorded in England and Wales
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: in the year ending June twenty twenty four and a
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: forty one percent rise since twenty eleven. Ronan's mother, Puja Kanda,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: and advocacy advocacy groups like ben Kinsella Trust support of
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: the ban, arguing ninja swords have no place in society
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: beyond outside of like feudal Japan, like in the during
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: the time of the Sengoku period. The Labor government under
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Starmer aims to have knife crime within a decade, following
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: earlier bands on zombie knives that's a thing, I don't
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: know what a zombie knife is and machetes in September
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, and introducing measures like two step
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: verification for online knife sales and fines for platforms failing
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: to remove knife crime content. I'm waiting for the law
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: of banning zweyhanders or you know, like like rape iers,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Like there's so many different swords. But anyway, so that's
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: where we are.
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: We don't want to live in a rapier culture.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: We're not We're not going to address the ninjas, just
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: the ninja swords anyway.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: You know, when when we found out that I See
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: in my twenty sixteen was going to be in London,
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: my parents did not want me to go. They were
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: they were pre concerned that I might be attacked and
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: killed by a ninja.
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: It was what about ninja magic, you guys, to stop
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: ninja magic? What about shurikens? What about throwing stars?
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: Is that they were just absolutely petrified that I might
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: be the target of a ninja.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: Nunchuks have been banned. Nunchucks have been banned since like
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: twenty thirty years ago.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: For some reason.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: They had nunchucks long before they banned swords. Apparently nunchucks
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: are worse.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: Quite In my whole life, I've met several nuns. I
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: grew up in a community that had a rather large
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Catholic population. None of them were named Chuck. That's a
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: very unusual name for a nun. Oh you you know,
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: I had to yeah, we used to play this game
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: with stars. By the way, we had ninja stars that
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: I don't somebody had made those that be in like
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: a shop class or something because they weren't paper.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: But they were quite indignant. I am not indignant because
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: this is indicative.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Of a lot of chauvinist ladies.
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: Once upon a time, I used to have the capability of,
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: like I had better eyesight than I have now, and
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: we'll say that, but I used to have the capability
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: of anything that came at my face, I could hit
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: it as long as it wasn't coming from above my
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: head because then I couldn't tell how far away it was.
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: But if it was coming for me straight on, I
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: was really good at it. And so the my mom
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: really freaked out about this when she caught us doing it,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: but I I uh. The guys would throw them at
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: me and I would slap them away, and they just
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: thought that was the coolest thing since sliced bread. And
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: Mom came out of the house and my mom was
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: actually her voice was deeper than mine when she was upset.
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: Normally she was a tenor, and this time she became
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: a soprano, and I think she hurt her throat uh
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: And when then we weren't allowed to play with the
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: Ninja Stars anymore. They had to get put in a
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: disclaim display case and put up on my brother's wall.
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: But we had all kinds of stuff, like we had
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: a machete, it was up on the wall. Also from
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: Guatemala when my grandparents were missionaries there. We had there there.
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: We had a gun in the house. We had all
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: kinds of knives in the house for different different things.
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: None of us ever really harmed each other with any
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: of that stuff. We used to beat the hell out
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: of each other for fun, but not really with those things.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: But the Ninja Stars we did throw at each other.
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: And as kids like we recognized that it's the individual.
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: Like when we got in trouble, we didn't try to
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: pretend that the stars made us do it. We were okay,
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: we won't play with those like that anymore. But as adults,
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: people don't seem to get the reality that there is
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: no weapons ban that you can do that is going
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: to prevent people who have the tendency to use violence
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: to get what they want or address their conflicts. It's
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: not going to stop them from finding a way to
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: hurt other people. Okay, There isn't any level of weapons
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: ban that will address that problem because it's not caused
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: by the weapons. It's caused by the mentality, and the
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: mentality isn't organic, it has causes. And the reason that
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: you see your leaders turning to weapons bans, they know
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: that's not going to work, all right. They don't really
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: believe any of the things that they know that that
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: when they try to ban this weapon or that weapon,
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: and they tell you, oh, it's so that we'll get
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: rid of this type of violence, they're not they're lying.
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: They're just bald face lining you. They don't want to
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: address the causes of the mentality that leads to violent
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: behavior because those causes are things they make money from.
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: They make money supporting fatherless homes, They make money supporting
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: an education system where the kids are taught that perception
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: is reality and that you can't contradict people and cry
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: bullying is okay, and nobody's allowed to be told no
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: unless they're you know, a straight white male. They make
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: money on all of that. And the other reason is
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: because those of you who don't have a tendency to
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: deal with every little conflict and every little desire you
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: have by using violence to achieve your goals. They're afraid
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: that at some point in the future, after years and
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: years of the abuses that they engage in, after years
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: and years of taking your money and giving it to
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: organizations that teach children to have sex, or organizations that
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: push fathers out of home so children can't be protected
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: from those other organizations, that you're going to rise up
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: and you're going to stop them. And if you can't
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: vote them out because they outlaw the candidates that oppose them,
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: that might do what you prefer, that is recognize human
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: rights and human responsibilities, that you might actually finally decide
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: to resort to violence. And they don't want you to
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: be armed. They don't care about the violence that you're
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: facing from your neighbors that have a tendency to deal
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: with their conflicts and their desires using violence. They only
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: care to make sure that you can't resist.
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: Indeed, I don't know why anyone's surprised by this story,
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: other than by the revelation that any kind of sword
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: hasn't already been banned.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: In the UK.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: As far as I know, hima swords or daggers have
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: already been banned. That's historical European martial arts, swords, broad swords,
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: bastard swords, spyhanders, messrs Rondel's, rapiers. They said, I'm not
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: even sure if I'm allowed to say rapiers. Rapiers, I
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: should say scimitars, I would imagine are not banned, because
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: that would be as I'm aphobic. It's it's only due
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: to cultural tolerance that katanas have not been banned for
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: all this time. I realized that the katana is a
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: samurai sword, but I don't quite know the difference between
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: the samurai katana and a ninja katana. I mean, the
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Japanese have used nothing but katanas for many centuries. I
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: guess ninjas just sound worse than samurai's, maybe because ninja's
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: were assassins and samurai's were warriors. That's why the British
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: authorities had to change it to teenage mutant hero turtles.
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: But we never even got samurai pizza cats. They didn't
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: know what to change that to, so it just it
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: just didn't even get imported in the first place. A
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: lot of you will be going, what, Mike, samurai pizza cats,
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: the fuck are you talking about?
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: That was?
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: That was that was the thing too. It's no less
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: bizarre sounding than teenage mutant ninja turtles. It just never
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: really took off in the same way, presumably because.
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: People people know what that is, don't they.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: I'm not not in Britain.
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: I didn't discover it until I went well, yeah, I suppose.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: Simply because the art style was a little bit too
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: anime in the Samuri pizzacas. The West was like, Okay,
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: dumb that shit down until it's Pokemon and then we'll
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: buy it. But by co mice from US, Oh hell yeah,
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: they're just using laser guns. There's nothing offensively violent about
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: laser guns.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: That's fine.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: That won't be offensive until British people start using them regularly.
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: I mean, we do have.
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: A space laser now, but the British people aren't allowed
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: to use it, just the British government, so it's fine.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: And Japanese swords weren't considered offensive until kir Starmer got
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: the memo that it's okay to discriminate against Asians now,
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: after all, Asians work hard, they earn high wages, they
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: have robust family values, so yeah, fucking they are a
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: danger to the communist agender. Now we can ban their
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: culture like we banned our own culture a fucking long
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: time ago. Of course, if you arrive in the UK
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: on a dinghy across the English Channel, you can carry
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: any sword you like.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: You can carry any.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: Laser gun you like.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: You don't have to go.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: Through any metal detectors like they do at airports or
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: anything like that. No one's gonna pat you down looking
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: for any machetes you might have concealed in your trouser pocket,
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: or it's just dual wielding in both hands when you
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: get off the dinghy, or anything you happen to be
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: hiding inside. That ten year old boy you're innocently escorting
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: into the country. It's fine. It would be racist to
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: go about frisking you like you're doing anything wrong. No, no,
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: come on, we'll do anything we can to keep you safe.
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: By banning British people from owning any peace that looks
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: like it tape us to a dangerous point. This is
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: your friendly weekly reminder, folks that the UK is fucked.
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: As a gentleman, the UK, much like myself, is not
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: able to act as an admirable role model, only as
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: a horrible warning, a cautionary tale, a chilling vision of
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: things to come. But that's still a useful thing to be.
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: I'm I'm clinging onto that as a reason to go
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: on living. Remember us, Avenge us before it's too late,
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: or if it's already too late, just remember us. I
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: don't know how many empires have to fall in the
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: same way before people wise up as to how and
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: why this happens. But I'll remind you once again, it's
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: because we became rich enough that we could afford to
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: hate men. And it didn't the court to us that
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: hating men would turn us into a bunch of pusillanimous pansies.
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: All right, you get the idea. Don't hit like, don't
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: hit subscribe, don't hit a navigation bell. None of it
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: does anything, So.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: All right, Hannah, did you want to say anything else?
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: Well, I could remind people that just because something is
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: designated as not a weapon doesn't mean it's not a weapon.
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: And for instance, one of the one of my dumbest
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: and worst instances of violence, like I always tell my friends,
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: don't come up and deliberately startle me from behind, you know,
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: like when you're young, it's fun to sneak up behind
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: somebody and scare them, you know, boo or whatever. And
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: I was on a university campus where there was a
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: nice little wooded area between my dormitory and my classes,
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: and I was carrying my camera around as part of
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: my campus job, and one of my buddies did not
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: listen to that. And it had only been maybe a year,
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: maybe a year and a half since I had experienced
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: a particularly violent assault from people because of my associations
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: at the time, and so I was in a state
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: of heightened worry from that. And then we'd had a
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: bunch of incidents on campus where girls were spreading a
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: rumor that there was a guy running around looking in
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: the windows and coming into the dorms at night. There's
- 1:21:40Speaker 3: never been any evidence of it, but they scared the
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: hell out of everybody, right, And so I'm walking through
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: this area, it's between light posts in the middle of it,
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: it gets pretty dark, and this thumb ass jumps out
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: from behind me, behind me and grabs me and elves
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: and in the moment I panicked, I had my camera
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: over my shoulder and it was hanging down enough that
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: I had some swing capability with it, and I had
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: my monopod in my other hand, and I ended up
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: having to skip class and take him to the hospital
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: for stitches in his head, because I hit him with
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: both before I realized who he was and that it
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: was not an actual malicious attack. And neither one of
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: those things is classified as a weapon, right. But the
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: monopod I had an amount on it. It's a particular
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: shape for being able to turn the camera every way
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: you want to turn it, sideways, up, down, everything, And
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: so it had a lot of little screws on it
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: to be able to loosen this part or that part
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: so that you could turn the camera one direction and
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: then tighten it and hold it there and so on.
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: And those dug into a scout pretty bad. And so
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: you don't really have to You don't have to carry
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: a knife, you don't have to carry a gun, you
- 1:23:17Speaker 3: don't have to carry any object that the police would
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: look at and say this is a weapon. In order
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: to be dangerous to someone, all you have to do
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: is be the kind of person who hits when they panic,
- 1:23:35Speaker 3: like hits first, then asked questions later when they panic,
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: you know, like I don't hit people when I get mad,
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: you know, like I write really pathetic anger poetry it's awful,
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: or I write really angry articles if I've got something
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: valid to lecture over and publish them, you know, like,
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: if you don't believe me, read my article fuck you
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: Amy Schumer and the Honey Badger Brigade blog. But I don't.
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: I don't hit people when I get angry, because that's
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: that's useless. It doesn't fix the problem, right it only
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: it only is useful in self defense. And so this
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: idea again, you can't eliminate violence by eliminating weapons. Any
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: object within reach is a weapon when when somebody is
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: determined to do something violent or it has a disorder
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: that causes them to engage in violence when they're scared. Yes,
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: just a point.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: No, I mean, there's.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: Never trust your politicians to be trying to do something effective.
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: When they do this, your politicians are a weapon, yes,
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: from violent and far more destructive than anything you could
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: possibly wield in your hand. I don't understand why people
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: don't understand this.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: Ah well, yeah, for the record, the ninja toe is
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: what the ninja sword is actually called ninja toe, and
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: it isn't even like like a definite thing that it existed,
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: or at least there is no evidence that this existed
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: before the twentieth century. So all of it is alleged
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: because if it was true, then the ninja would lose
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: its mystique. So therefore it's called the ninja toe. But
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: we don't even know that they use them. I'm just saying,
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: and it wasn't even if they did exist. They were
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: considered far lower quality than the katana. So why wouldn't
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: you just use a katana if you had to choose
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: between the two. Anyway, So just a little bit of
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: trivial knowledge about the ninja toe the ninja sword. All right,
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: So Albatross, I'll get it some super chow's and stuff

- 1:26:18Speaker 3: their own hand. She's gonna she's going to vote for
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: policies that are going to change the assistance that is
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: available to people. And there are going to be people
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: that are going to kill themselves because they do not
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: get the support they need to fight against this, this
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: idea that perception is reality. In instances where their perception
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: might be deadly.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: Yeah, Nova fan gives us a one dollar rumble rant
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: and says, Ninja, it's never okay to call me a ninja.
