Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to HBr Talk four oh seven. Do
- 0:04Speaker 1: not go quietly now. You'll see on the screen this
- 0:08Speaker 1: article is a year old, but they're actually voting on
- 0:12Speaker 1: this now. So we're gonna read this article today and
- 0:18Speaker 1: then I have other information. We're gonna look at the bill.
- 0:24Speaker 1: We will have to look at mental capacity because that's
- 0:29Speaker 1: mentioned in the bill. It's a bit insidious, and we
- 0:33Speaker 1: are also going to look at this article. So our
- 0:39Speaker 1: order is probably going to be the British article first,
- 0:42Speaker 1: the Canadian article second, and then the British bill, and
- 0:47Speaker 1: we may do some comparisons between that and the Canadian bill,
- 0:53Speaker 1: but I don't expect to get that far in one show. Obviously,
- 0:56Speaker 1: this will be a few shows as we read about this,
- 1:01Speaker 1: but that's that's what we're up to right now. So
- 1:06Speaker 1: it's going to be a difficult discussion. But I have
- 1:10Speaker 1: some of the best people with me to discuss this.
- 1:14Speaker 1: We I'm your host, Hannah Wallin here with nonsense annihilator
- 1:19Speaker 1: Lauren Brooks. It is hot, and I am perrymanopausal, and
- 1:23Speaker 1: I am sick of all of your ship. So let's
- 1:27Speaker 1: have a good show. People. We have the personification of
- 1:31Speaker 1: perceptivity Mike Stevenson, I don't know.
- 1:35Speaker 2: How to follow that. Fucking Phil Common. Hello everyone, it
- 1:46Speaker 2: is quite.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It is hot. We have Richard the Lionhearted.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Sorry for the day's topic, but it was important to me.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all Richard's fault. He drew my attention to this,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and it's it's yet another country doing this, and I've
- 2:02Speaker 1: been talking about this in the background a lot. So
- 2:05Speaker 1: there we go, and we have the doge in charge,
- 2:09Speaker 1: Brian Martinez, working in the background to make everything happen.
- 2:12Speaker 1: But before we get into it, we've got a few things,
- 2:16Speaker 1: and before we get into a few things, we gotta
- 2:18Speaker 1: do what we gotta do. As always, Honey Badger Radio
- 2:22Speaker 1: dishes out a S. Morgas board of thought provoking discussions,
- 2:25Speaker 1: and as experiences both recent and long past have demonstrated,
- 2:29Speaker 1: the provoked thoughts are fighting back. They've made it clear
- 2:32Speaker 1: that for people like us, relying on third party payment
- 2:35Speaker 1: platforms like Patreon to fund our work is treading on
- 2:38Speaker 1: thin ice or building our house in the path of
- 2:41Speaker 1: a rapidly growing wildfire. In light of this, we strongly
- 2:45Speaker 1: encourage our supporters to switch at least their support for
- 2:48Speaker 1: us to feed the Badger dot com the most stable
- 2:51Speaker 1: way to help us out, and if you want to
- 2:54Speaker 1: tip us directly instead of relying on any social media platforms,
- 2:57Speaker 1: tip jar. The link for that is feed the badgert
- 2:59Speaker 1: dite slash just the tip. And as always, the same
- 3:03Speaker 1: risk applies to our social media platforms, which is why
- 3:06Speaker 1: you should further provoke the thought police by tracking our
- 3:10Speaker 1: thought provoking discussions on Honeybadger Brigade dot com, where you
- 3:14Speaker 1: can find your way to all of our content, as
- 3:16Speaker 1: well as a link to feed the Badger dot com
- 3:18Speaker 1: and the drop down menu at the top of the page.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Ah and I also have some super chats from or
- 3:28Speaker 1: super I don't know if the's are. Are these super
- 3:30Speaker 1: chats or Superchows? Brian, I don't know if he's gonna
- 3:35Speaker 1: answer me. They look like superchows, the Superchows. Okay, oh
- 3:42Speaker 1: I see it. There we go. Okay, so there these
- 3:44Speaker 1: are in the show chat and they're a little condensed.
- 3:50Speaker 1: But on six eighteen, twenty twenty six at eight forty
- 3:56Speaker 1: eight pm, we missed one. Uh, this is this is
- 4:00Speaker 1: one that I think I couldn't see. Atheism question for
- 4:06Speaker 1: doc if Allison says reverse traditionalism is incoherent but also necessary.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Does that make reverse tradition reverse traditionalism a religion? Religion
- 4:18Speaker 1: is the only other thing I've heard described is both
- 4:20Speaker 1: of those things.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I don't quite know what reverse traditionalism is. I guess
- 4:27Speaker 2: traditionalism is doing things we've always done for the sake
- 4:30Speaker 2: of always doing them. So reverse traditionalism is doing the
- 4:35Speaker 2: opposite of those things, because it's narcissism basically, which yes,
- 4:39Speaker 2: is religious as as religious as well, certainly as religious
- 4:49Speaker 2: as traditionalism. But there are lots of different facets to traditionalism.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I mean, circumcision is traditional. I certainly oppose that, but
- 5:05Speaker 2: fidelity is also traditional, and I'm in favor of that,
- 5:09Speaker 2: So I don't that's yeah, I need a lot more
- 5:16Speaker 2: information on on on what that is before I can
- 5:19Speaker 2: answer that. But different, But yes, and anti religion is
- 5:25Speaker 2: just as religious as religion because it's playing on the
- 5:28Speaker 2: same chessboard, if you will, I hope that answers your question.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Well, I hope so too. We have another one. This
- 5:39Speaker 1: one is Tuesday the sixteenth, and that was at seven.
- 5:46Speaker 1: And let's see the last one. Oh, there's the price.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So the last one was five dollars and this one
- 5:50Speaker 1: is five dollars and says doc. If you have a
- 5:52Speaker 1: PO box or if you trust me with your address,
- 5:56Speaker 1: I have a bunch of cool shit to send you,
- 5:58Speaker 1: Like how I'm sending Alison my nys can you I
- 6:02Speaker 1: can send you a three hundred dollars silver Zippo lighter,
- 6:08Speaker 1: an unused jack Japanese pocket ash tray, and tons of
- 6:11Speaker 1: other ship shit. I'm a quick chance on your subscribe star.
- 6:15Speaker 1: If you want to pay me a place to send it.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Oh that's so nice, that's very sweet.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Sounds awesome. But I don't have a PO box and
- 6:23Speaker 2: maybe I should get one, and I'm not willing to
- 6:26Speaker 2: put out my address work. Just send it to send
- 6:30Speaker 2: it here? It could you could send it to Laurence
- 6:33Speaker 2: Place if she's willing to give her address, and I
- 6:34Speaker 2: wouldn't ask him to do that. But if you've already
- 6:36Speaker 2: got Allison's address, just send it to Alison and I
- 6:39Speaker 2: guess I'll pick it up next time we have a meeting.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Are we having a bat your meetup this summer like
- 6:44Speaker 2: we did last year?
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yes, I am still working on a location. I have
- 6:51Speaker 1: a one place in mind. We will whatever we do.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Because things have heated up a little bit again this
- 6:58Speaker 1: year at least online. I think that we'll probably start
- 7:03Speaker 1: out at right Patterson Air Force Museum because that's on
- 7:07Speaker 1: right Patterson Air Force Base, and also because the museum
- 7:12Speaker 1: itself is of interest at least to the Men's Issues
- 7:17Speaker 1: part of the group. But I haven't solidified anything just yet.
- 7:23Speaker 1: So over the weekend I will do more research.
- 7:27Speaker 3: And I should be able to so I need to
- 7:30Speaker 3: get possible.
- 7:32Speaker 1: There you go. You might want to do it soon
- 7:34Speaker 1: because the timeframe I'm looking at is the end of August.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Are you planning on having it in the US. Yes,
- 7:43Speaker 2: A lot of Canadians won't come down, including Allison. I
- 7:45Speaker 2: think Allison has decided never to come to the US
- 7:48Speaker 2: over again. So that would solve that wouldn't solve the
- 7:51Speaker 2: problem that the that the super chat is presenting. But
- 7:57Speaker 2: we'll figure something out.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Yeah, but there will be a mixed up meetup. I
- 8:03Speaker 1: don't know what else is on the docket in terms
- 8:08Speaker 1: of travel and stuff like that. That's the only one
- 8:12Speaker 1: that I am really in charge of planning because it's
- 8:16Speaker 1: my meetup. But but yeah, I've had some people suggest BUCkies.
- 8:23Speaker 1: BUCkies is the Sam's Club of convenience stores. It's probably
- 8:30Speaker 1: the best way to put it. For the Americans, I'm
- 8:33Speaker 1: not sure if there's anything in the UK that's the same.
- 8:36Speaker 1: It's huge they have.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I don't got anything like that in the UK.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really it's neat. Probably should take people there anyway,
- 8:50Speaker 1: but I was thinking more in terms of a sit
- 8:53Speaker 1: down and relaxed kind of place. But we'll see. We'll see.
- 9:00Speaker 1: We have some chatter going on in the our chat
- 9:04Speaker 1: for it, so we'll see what comes of that. But
- 9:08Speaker 1: whatever we do, I still plan for it to start
- 9:12Speaker 1: at the museum for some pretty obvious reasons. So also
- 9:20Speaker 1: we do have some It looks like we have some
- 9:23Speaker 1: super chows in the middle of the night yesterday and
- 9:31Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody got a chance to read
- 9:35Speaker 1: them or not. So we got one from Edwin Richard
- 9:40Speaker 1: for twenty dollars, who says, can't thank you guys enough
- 9:43Speaker 1: for what you do. Some extra food for the badger.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Omnam Nam Omnam nam Nam. We got three numbs. There
- 9:50Speaker 1: were five things that convinced me something was seriously wrong.
- 9:54Speaker 1: One feminist academia promoting overtly missandrac ideas like reducing the
- 9:59Speaker 1: male population to ten percent of the human race with
- 10:02Speaker 1: no real signs of remorse, apology, or even slowing down.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Two Cassie J's The Red Pill Documentary, three Warren Ferrell's
- 10:10Speaker 1: books The Boy Crisis and The Myth of Mail Power.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Four Paul Nathanson's and Catherine Young's books Spreading Misery, Legalizing Missantry, Missandry,
- 10:21Speaker 1: Replacing miss Andry, and Sanctifying miss Andry. And five Honey
- 10:26Speaker 1: Badger Radio, including prim Reaper's analysis of the APA guidelines
- 10:31Speaker 1: for Men and Boys. At some point it stops being
- 10:34Speaker 1: coincidence and it becomes patterned. And Zapier gave us five
- 10:39Speaker 1: dollars and didn't say anything, So we don't know if
- 10:42Speaker 1: there was a if there was supposed to be a
- 10:47Speaker 1: comment attached to that or not, but that was at
- 10:52Speaker 1: so we thank you both, and with that we will
- 10:57Speaker 1: get to the topic at hand. There are some points
- 11:04Speaker 1: I'm going to make before we actually read the article.
- 11:08Speaker 1: One of them is that whenever we talk about male
- 11:10Speaker 1: suicide in particular, feminists always like to and it's not
- 11:15Speaker 1: even always feminists, it's women. Women will jump to this
- 11:18Speaker 1: and women's defenders feminists jump to this one statistic that
- 11:24Speaker 1: they're always shouting at us, and they always have sources,
- 11:28Speaker 1: and they're always authoritative sources saying that women attempt more
- 11:35Speaker 1: than men, women attempt suicide significantly more than men, or
- 11:40Speaker 1: twice as often as men, or three times as often
- 11:44Speaker 1: as men. Different sources say different different amounts. However, the
- 11:49Speaker 1: majority of death by suicide are men, men and boys,
- 11:56Speaker 1: and unfortunately, all too often it's it's nothing like what
- 12:03Speaker 1: this bill is being sold to us, as this is
- 12:07Speaker 1: what it's going to be. They're not dying already, they're
- 12:11Speaker 1: not fearing that their death is going to be more
- 12:13Speaker 1: painful than it has to be. A lot of times
- 12:16Speaker 1: they're in a situation that they don't think they can
- 12:20Speaker 1: live with, and sometimes you get very shortsighted. I was
- 12:27Speaker 1: in a situation I didn't think I could live with
- 12:30Speaker 1: when I was thirteen years old, and honestly, the only
- 12:34Speaker 1: thing that stopped me at that point was that my
- 12:37Speaker 1: parents would have been devastated, and I could see it
- 12:43Speaker 1: in my head how much I would be hurting them
- 12:47Speaker 1: if I did that. And so I found that I
- 12:52Speaker 1: did have the courage to face what I was dealing
- 12:56Speaker 1: with at the time, and I didn't face it in
- 12:59Speaker 1: a particularly healthy way necessarily, but I I did put
- 13:04Speaker 1: a stop to the problem, and uh, and I did
- 13:09Speaker 1: move on. But people will make this decision and they'll
- 13:18Speaker 1: prepare for months until they have everything in place, they
- 13:24Speaker 1: feel like they've they're ready to go, and they won't
- 13:29Speaker 1: change their mind unless somebody can talk them out of
- 13:32Speaker 1: it or something changes in their lives. And once you
- 13:42Speaker 1: once you've made the decision, you get this lightness that
- 13:47Speaker 1: it's like you don't have to worry about anything anymore
- 13:52Speaker 1: because you're not going to be there right if you
- 13:54Speaker 1: feel like that, so you can be cheerful all the time,
- 13:57Speaker 1: you can be happy, you can be light on your feet,
- 14:02Speaker 1: joke about things that you would joke about, not not
- 14:08Speaker 1: dread things that you would normally dread because what do
- 14:12Speaker 1: you care. You're going to be gone. And sucks to
- 14:17Speaker 1: go into that stage and then realize that you can't
- 14:19Speaker 1: do it because of what you're really doing is just
- 14:23Speaker 1: transferring your pain to the people who love you the most.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And then it all comes crashing back on and you're like,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to deal with this shit. I'm gonna
- 14:35Speaker 1: have to deal with all of this and it's better
- 14:38Speaker 1: to not play it in the first place. But unfortunately
- 14:45Speaker 1: that that's being dangled in front of people all over
- 14:47Speaker 1: the world.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Now, yeah, ahead, there is a shred of credibility to
- 14:56Speaker 2: this when it comes to people who are actually terminally ill,
- 15:00Speaker 2: with actually six months to live, and they they are
- 15:07Speaker 2: guaranteed to face six months of extreme pain or however
- 15:11Speaker 2: many years of extreme pain and.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Or choked to death like a ls and does.
- 15:17Speaker 2: And yeah, maybe maybe it's they should have the right
- 15:23Speaker 2: to take their lives into their own hands. And do
- 15:27Speaker 2: you know my parents have been enthusiastic about this ever
- 15:30Speaker 2: since they found out about it, like, oh, that that
- 15:34Speaker 2: that would be nice. And I'm like, okay, guys, just
- 15:38Speaker 2: don't let them convince you to die. And I tried
- 15:41Speaker 2: to explain to them what's been going on in Canada
- 15:43Speaker 2: because they because boomers who listen to the television, have
- 15:47Speaker 2: no idea what arcophobic horrors are having in happening in
- 15:53Speaker 2: Canada and Australia, like as a test before they roll
- 16:00Speaker 2: it out to the to the rest of the of
- 16:03Speaker 2: the anglosphere. And and I don't know what to point
- 16:10Speaker 2: people towards when it comes to Canada other than it
- 16:13Speaker 2: I think it's now the leading cause of death or
- 16:16Speaker 2: is one of the leading causes of death in in
- 16:19Speaker 2: in Canada, the government killing you and like nobody trusts
- 16:25Speaker 2: the government. When when when you ask people, when you
- 16:28Speaker 2: press them on on it for even a moment, they go,
- 16:30Speaker 2: of course, I don't trust the government heavens to Betsy
- 16:33Speaker 2: no no, no, no, no, no something something Trump and Ship.
- 16:39Speaker 2: But then when it comes to your life and your health,
- 16:44Speaker 2: people go, oh, yeah, that's yes, that's fine. If the
- 16:47Speaker 2: government tells me that my health is in the can
- 16:51Speaker 2: and I should die, then absolutely I'll believe them. It's like,
- 16:55Speaker 2: why would they lie? And I have to remind them
- 17:01Speaker 2: that our health system doesn't. It's different from the American
- 17:12Speaker 2: health system in in in terms of it's not driven
- 17:16Speaker 2: by profit. Being driven by profits not an ideal situation.
- 17:22Speaker 2: But when you have an NHS, when you have a
- 17:24Speaker 2: government run health service, the way they make money is
- 17:34Speaker 2: by not having to pay to keep people alive. You
- 17:40Speaker 2: see what I mean. So it when it comes to
- 17:42Speaker 2: any government operated national health service, is in their financial
- 17:49Speaker 2: interests to kill people because then they won't have to
- 17:54Speaker 2: pay to keep them alive. And and and for all
- 17:58Speaker 2: the ship people say about the American healthcare system, at
- 18:04Speaker 2: least over there, I should say over here, because I'm
- 18:07Speaker 2: over here now. At least it's in their interests to
- 18:13Speaker 2: keep the patients alive, albeit on all manner of fucking
- 18:18Speaker 2: pills and shit. And that's that's a whole other thing.
- 18:20Speaker 2: But this is really the acid test. When it comes
- 18:27Speaker 2: to government run health services. They they do things for
- 18:37Speaker 2: financial incentives just as much as any private healthcare service.
- 18:41Speaker 2: But like I said, their incentives lye in just having
- 18:47Speaker 2: fewer customers or whatever, or whatever the word is. It's
- 18:52Speaker 2: just it's in their financial interests that no one is
- 18:57Speaker 2: coming to them with any health problem. So of course
- 19:04Speaker 2: they're going to jump on the opportunity to just kill
- 19:07Speaker 2: people rather than giving them drugs and surgeries for ten
- 19:13Speaker 2: twenty years towards the end of their life. And like
- 19:16Speaker 2: I said, there are some cases where that's for the best.
- 19:23Speaker 2: But again you can look to Canada and oh no,
- 19:26Speaker 2: you've got a fucking booboo on your finger, let's kill you.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I'm not even exaggerating all that much as it's all
- 19:33Speaker 2: you you need a fucking stair lift, let's kill you.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Oh dear, you had some kind of mysterious injury from
- 19:44Speaker 2: a series of injections you had around twenty twenty one.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's
- 19:49Speaker 2: kill you. And it all lines up as something really
- 19:54Speaker 2: quite sinister, doesn't it. I mean, downli evil really. For
- 20:00Speaker 2: everything that can be said about our persistent dying can
- 20:04Speaker 2: be a good thing, it falls by the wayside compared
- 20:09Speaker 2: with what the government will do because it hates people,
- 20:15Speaker 2: because it hates the people it's supposed to be serving.
- 20:19Speaker 2: That's the world we live in now, especially in western countries,
- 20:24Speaker 2: especially in the anglosphere, like we are ruled by machines
- 20:29Speaker 2: that are programmed to hate us, and that includes the
- 20:34Speaker 2: health service. The health service is run by machines that
- 20:38Speaker 2: hate us and they want us dead. I know it
- 20:41Speaker 2: sounds exaggerated that these people hate us and want us dead,
- 20:47Speaker 2: and I say people, but these machines hate us and
- 20:50Speaker 2: want us dead. These machines are run by people, so
- 20:52Speaker 2: it's difficult to describe. But it is a machine, the
- 20:58Speaker 2: cogs of which are civil servants. And yeah, I just
- 21:10Speaker 2: as much as you hate the government, you don't hate
- 21:12Speaker 2: them enough because you're gonna see you're gonna see them
- 21:15Speaker 2: do ship. You're gonna you're gonna see them do the ship.
- 21:17Speaker 2: The Canada's done, uh it, and it's probably gonna be
- 21:23Speaker 2: even worse in the UK. I mean I I Canada
- 21:28Speaker 2: leads the way. Canada is the scout in into this
- 21:34Speaker 2: orcophobia that they call progress. But when when the UK
- 21:37Speaker 2: gets hold of it, they're gonna they're gonna take it
- 21:40Speaker 2: from novice to expert. They're gonna they're gonna kill millions
- 21:47Speaker 2: of us. They're gonna convince millions of us that we
- 21:51Speaker 2: need to die, and it's gonna be fucking awful. And uh,
- 22:01Speaker 2: I don't know how to get through to the boomers
- 22:03Speaker 2: because they believe everything the TV tells them. Yeah, I don't
- 22:10Speaker 2: want to do and I don't want to do. It
- 22:13Speaker 2: sucks and it's kind of scary.
- 22:16Speaker 1: And the difficult thing with the older generations is a
- 22:22Speaker 1: lot of them are at the age where, even if
- 22:25Speaker 1: they don't get Alzheimer's or Parkinson's or one of the
- 22:30Speaker 1: illnesses that starts to kill your brain before your body dies,
- 22:37Speaker 1: they have all their organs are also old, and all
- 22:43Speaker 1: of their organs are less efficient than they used to be,
- 22:46Speaker 1: and so your brain gets less oxygen, your brain gets
- 22:48Speaker 1: less nutrients, and so on. Your circulation might not even
- 22:55Speaker 1: be as good as it used to be, and you
- 22:58Speaker 1: get this slowing down of responses as you age, so
- 23:07Speaker 1: you might not be as quick off the cuff, and
- 23:10Speaker 1: if somebody hits you with a bunch of double speak,
- 23:13Speaker 1: you might not fully understand what they say, even if
- 23:17Speaker 1: you're not senile. During the lead up to the Holocaust,
- 23:24Speaker 1: this is one of the things that was being done
- 23:27Speaker 1: to older people in Germany, and they were exterminating them
- 23:36Speaker 1: like any anybody that was old and infirm, by rapid fire,
- 23:40Speaker 1: questioning them or asking them questions loaded with a bunch
- 23:46Speaker 1: of double speak or buzzwords, or just just you know,
- 23:53Speaker 1: making them as convoluted as possible, where you have so
- 23:58Speaker 1: many details in one question that the part and by
- 24:00Speaker 1: the end of the question that person can't remember what
- 24:02Speaker 1: you were asking. And then if they were they were
- 24:07Speaker 1: deemed a feeble minded or inept senile because of that,
- 24:16Speaker 1: then they would be put to death. And they treated
- 24:20Speaker 1: it like people treat putting animals to sleep. And it
- 24:26Speaker 1: seems rather connected in my view that this is the
- 24:32Speaker 1: way it's starting with medical assistance and dying. What's different
- 24:38Speaker 1: with Canada that specifically makes it particularly insidious and dangerous
- 24:48Speaker 1: is that they have two different tracts for medical assistance
- 24:55Speaker 1: and dying. If you have an illness that like, you've
- 25:00Speaker 1: basically got a death sentence from your doctor. And it's
- 25:04Speaker 1: not going to be a peaceful, die in your sleep
- 25:07Speaker 1: kind of death. It's going to be something awful, like
- 25:11Speaker 1: like I said, with als, your throat slowly becomes paralyzed
- 25:17Speaker 1: until you suffocate, it collapses, and you choke to death.
- 25:21Speaker 1: It's horrible and it's probably the most used diagnosis by
- 25:28Speaker 1: proponents in discussing this type of bill. Cancer can be very,
- 25:34Speaker 1: very painful. That's another one my particular, I don't know
- 25:43Speaker 1: what to call it, iteration of Ailer's dand loss syndrome,
- 25:48Speaker 1: the one with the weak blood vessels. Basically, Ailer's dand
- 25:54Speaker 1: loss is a connective tissue disorder usually causes joint hypermobility,
- 25:59Speaker 1: and I do have a significant amount of that as well.
- 26:03Speaker 1: I can put my hip out walking across the room
- 26:07Speaker 1: by accident. Now I can put it back though, So
- 26:11Speaker 1: it's all right so far. But people like me, when
- 26:17Speaker 1: we get older, we start to have brain bleeds and
- 26:22Speaker 1: mini strokes. I saw my grandma go down that road.
- 26:26Speaker 1: It looks like Alzheimer's on fast forward really fast forward
- 26:31Speaker 1: like Alzheimer's can take ten to twenty years. This took two,
- 26:39Speaker 1: So you know, people will the suffering that can happen
- 26:45Speaker 1: from that. It can be similar to neuropathy. If you
- 26:50Speaker 1: have certain types of brain damage, you can cause things
- 26:53Speaker 1: to not work properly. It can cause things to fire
- 26:55Speaker 1: off improperly. People will choose death rather than face those
- 27:02Speaker 1: types of pain, and it's understandable that people will do that.
- 27:06Speaker 1: It's understandable that somebody might not want to go through
- 27:09Speaker 1: the type of suffering if you get cancer of the
- 27:14Speaker 1: spinal cord, which can happen, or brain cancer, which can happen,
- 27:17Speaker 1: and that also can cause pain nerves to fire off
- 27:21Speaker 1: with no real cause other than the fact that something
- 27:24Speaker 1: in the tumor is touching it. But the other track
- 27:30Speaker 1: is natural death not reasonably foreseeable. That's the other direction.
- 27:35Speaker 1: It has stricter safeguards. Allegedly, it's got a ninety day
- 27:40Speaker 1: assessment period which you can you can waive if capacity
- 27:46Speaker 1: loss is imminent. So in other words, someone like me,
- 27:50Speaker 1: if I was Canadian, starts having many strokes and have
- 27:54Speaker 1: already lost a little capacity, and they're telling me, oh,
- 27:59Speaker 1: this is this is going to get worse. You've probably
- 28:01Speaker 1: got about two years, maybe you could live longer than that.
- 28:04Speaker 1: We don't have a specific when you're going to pass
- 28:08Speaker 1: from this, but you are going to lose your mind, right.
- 28:13Speaker 1: That's track two, And you know that's that's pretty much
- 28:22Speaker 1: telling somebody to kill themselves to make things easier on
- 28:27Speaker 1: their family, and it's been used on people with depression schizophrenia.
- 28:35Speaker 1: There was another story that we're going to look at
- 28:39Speaker 1: in a few days. This one Vancouver woman offered made,
- 28:47Speaker 1: which they're not supposed to even be bringing it up.
- 28:50Speaker 1: She's supposed to ask them. But Vancouver woman offered made
- 28:53Speaker 1: before receiving any treatment at hospital that or diagnosis. She
- 28:59Speaker 1: had a broken head, she had a fractured hip. It
- 29:01Speaker 1: wasn't gonna kill her. But there we'll go over the
- 29:06Speaker 1: whole story at that time. People with chronic pain, other
- 29:14Speaker 1: some people with tailors danelos have profound joint pain, absolutely horrible,
- 29:26Speaker 1: and it would be very tempting for some people to
- 29:30Speaker 1: just end it in that circumstance, especially if they're like
- 29:34Speaker 1: me and they can't take pain meds. So there's there's
- 29:39Speaker 1: a lot more to this than just the side that
- 29:42Speaker 1: gets present presented by the people that have sympathy for
- 29:46Speaker 1: people who are suffering and dying, and that they want
- 29:52Speaker 1: to make it so that dying doesn't have to involve suffering.
- 29:58Speaker 1: We will go over that a little more with regard
- 30:01Speaker 1: to the article here, but the last thing I want
- 30:04Speaker 1: to get into I had started started to talk about
- 30:06Speaker 1: the difference in suicides. There's there's evidence, and we might
- 30:13Speaker 1: go over that as well a little briefly, but we're
- 30:14Speaker 1: not going to do it today, so I don't have
- 30:16Speaker 1: the research open in my browser. But there is evidence
- 30:22Speaker 1: that a significant amount of the time when women are
- 30:29Speaker 1: recorded as having attempted suicide, they were not attempting suicide.
- 30:34Speaker 1: They were self harming as a means of getting somebody
- 30:39Speaker 1: to stop ignoring a problem or something that they viewed
- 30:44Speaker 1: as a problem. So suicide, you're trying to kill yourself.
- 30:48Speaker 1: If you're not trying to kill yourself, even if you
- 30:51Speaker 1: self harm in a way that could kill you, if
- 30:54Speaker 1: you're not trying to kill yourself, that's not being suicidal.
- 31:00Speaker 1: It's so it's one of those where women jump in
- 31:03Speaker 1: and say, oh, women attempt so much more than men.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Men are the ones dying from it. And if you
- 31:11Speaker 1: really look at that that set of attempts. They're not
- 31:15Speaker 1: all attempts. So really the statistic that matters the most
- 31:21Speaker 1: is who's dying. And the other thing is there's a
- 31:28Speaker 1: very high rate, and not just in men and boys,
- 31:35Speaker 1: but also in people with treatable mental health conditions. A
- 31:43Speaker 1: lot of the men people with gender dysphoria, a lot
- 31:47Speaker 1: of them biologically male who identify as female and then
- 31:53Speaker 1: discover that that doesn't transitioning does not help them with
- 31:59Speaker 1: the gender justice for people with chronic physical pain, a
- 32:04Speaker 1: lot of people end up in chronic physical pain after
- 32:09Speaker 1: they have had an injury at work. Most people with
- 32:13Speaker 1: injuries in the workplace are men people with other treatable disabilities.
- 32:20Speaker 1: It's not as not as common for women as for men.
- 32:26Speaker 1: The highest rate of suicide that I noted just having
- 32:34Speaker 1: Grock do a search for statistics for me, men comprise
- 32:40Speaker 1: seventy five percent of suicide deaths. The highest rate is
- 32:45Speaker 1: in middle aged men, and that's that's age like excited
- 32:54Speaker 1: age forty to fifty four at around twenty five to
- 32:59Speaker 1: twenty seven per one hundred thousand. But when you drop
- 33:03Speaker 1: down to men with treatable disabilities, it's forty eight per
- 33:10Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, So men with treatable disabilities are quite
- 33:17Speaker 1: a bit, almost twice as likely. There is higher rates
- 33:22Speaker 1: among divorces than non divorces. And yeah, it's mostly linked
- 33:33Speaker 1: to social isolation, socioeconomic status, substance abuse, long term illness.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Pain.
- 33:46Speaker 1: And again it's mostly mostly men. So we live in
- 33:49Speaker 1: a society that does not have compassion on the same
- 33:54Speaker 1: level for men or much at all as it does
- 33:58Speaker 1: for women. And this is in my opinion, this is
- 34:01Speaker 1: the result.
- 34:04Speaker 3: My my inviss link to quotic illness, substance abuse.
- 34:11Speaker 4: And what was the other one, disability and disabil Yeah, yeah,
- 34:20Speaker 4: and that one, like I said, is it's.
- 34:25Speaker 1: That affects UH a lot more than just or just
- 34:32Speaker 1: being an average guy. So for the listeners, you know,
- 34:39Speaker 1: if you know somebody that's close to you, it's in
- 34:42Speaker 1: in any of those circumstances, just make sure you check
- 34:47Speaker 1: in on them periodically, and if their whole attitude toward
- 34:51Speaker 1: life suddenly changes, check harder.
- 34:57Speaker 3: We have.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Right, go ahead, Well, I just wanted to something said
- 35:06Speaker 2: something I said earlier about taking your life into your
- 35:08Speaker 2: own hands. I I I don't want to misconstrue anything
- 35:13Speaker 2: that's still illegal taking your own life on your own
- 35:20Speaker 2: terms is still a crime, which always seemed bizarre to
- 35:26Speaker 2: me that when I first heard about this when I
- 35:28Speaker 2: was a kid. But suicide is illegal, I was like, wait, what,
- 35:31Speaker 2: how how do you enforce that, because it's only when
- 35:36Speaker 2: people actually go through it and actually successfully die for
- 35:42Speaker 2: want of a better phrase, that they've actually committed the crime. Like,
- 35:47Speaker 2: if it's unenforceable, then why is that even on the books?
- 35:50Speaker 5: But it's ill to attempt. Actually, it's because it's destruction
- 35:56Speaker 5: of government property is the joke. But it's not just
- 36:00Speaker 5: a joke. It's very much true. You belong to the
- 36:03Speaker 5: government and you are not allowed to take that life
- 36:06Speaker 5: into your own hands because that life does not belong
- 36:08Speaker 5: to you. It belongs to the government. The only thing
- 36:11Speaker 5: that's changing here is the government.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Yeah, well there is another bit to kill you. There's
- 36:18Speaker 1: another bit to look at there though. If you attempt
- 36:25Speaker 1: on your own, you know, like at home or in
- 36:29Speaker 1: a public place or whatever wherever you go to try
- 36:32Speaker 1: to do it, you are also creating a public nuisance.
- 36:38Speaker 1: That's the one way that the law might look at it.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Another thing that they might be doing is, say, let's
- 36:45Speaker 1: say the goal is to preserve life. We never trust
- 36:49Speaker 1: that the government has a goal that altruistic. But these
- 36:54Speaker 1: laws were written back when the logic spare the rod,
- 36:57Speaker 1: spoil the child was prevalent, meaning that you deter behavior
- 37:03Speaker 1: that you want to prevent by using punishment. So somebody
- 37:10Speaker 1: stops you in a suicide attempt, then you get punished
- 37:15Speaker 1: because you attempted, you might not try again, and you
- 37:20Speaker 1: might not create another another public nuisance. That's I don't
- 37:29Speaker 1: know if that's necessarily fair to say that that would
- 37:34Speaker 1: really be that effective, because, like I said, there's a
- 37:39Speaker 1: different mindset when you when you're one hundred percent certain
- 37:43Speaker 1: that you're gonna die. That the way that things that
- 37:48Speaker 1: are a threat to you, when you're one hundred percent
- 37:51Speaker 1: certain that you're going to face tomorrow, or at least
- 37:53Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine repeating percent certain that you're going
- 37:56Speaker 1: to face tomorrow and the next tomorrow and all the
- 37:59Speaker 1: tomorrow's after that for a long time, there are things
- 38:02Speaker 1: that can threaten you that you just don't care about
- 38:05Speaker 1: if you're one hundred percent certain you're going to die,
- 38:09Speaker 1: because you're not going to have to face those things
- 38:12Speaker 1: somebody else's and unless you if you've ever looked at
- 38:18Speaker 1: life that way, you know what I'm talking about. If
- 38:20Speaker 1: you haven't, this might not make sense to you. But
- 38:26Speaker 1: unless you have an overactive conscience, or at least a
- 38:31Speaker 1: very active conscience, it becomes very hard. It's very hard
- 38:35Speaker 1: to deter somebody. I've had to do that too, and
- 38:43Speaker 1: you really kind of have to shake the shit out
- 38:46Speaker 1: of them in a way to get them to walk
- 38:50Speaker 1: back from that edge. But in any case, yeah, I
- 38:57Speaker 1: don't I don't think sending people to jail would work.
- 39:00Speaker 1: But the other thing that the law does is the
- 39:03Speaker 1: state can't send you to a mental health institution unless
- 39:07Speaker 1: you've broken a law. Like that's something new. Well, yeah
- 39:13Speaker 1: they can. Well they might actually have a law for.
- 39:21Speaker 3: That.
- 39:21Speaker 1: They might consider you broke some law or other. Their
- 39:25Speaker 1: laws are so in the UK, if you say the
- 39:28Speaker 1: wrong thing, you've broken the law. Right, If somebody thinks
- 39:33Speaker 1: the wrong thing about you, you've broken the law. So
- 39:38Speaker 1: it's pretty hard to say. I'm sure everybody in the
- 39:41Speaker 1: UK has broken some law in another by now, just
- 39:43Speaker 1: on those based on those two things. If you're somebody's
- 39:46Speaker 1: wrong think boogeyman, you've broken the law. And if you're
- 39:49Speaker 1: somebody's demographic boogeyman. You've broken the law, so there you go.
- 39:55Speaker 1: But in a lot of countries, the state won't put
- 39:59Speaker 1: you in a mental health institution unless you've broken the law,
- 40:02Speaker 1: like involuntarily.
- 40:06Speaker 3: They won't.
- 40:06Speaker 1: They won't put you in involunteer. If you volunteer and
- 40:10Speaker 1: you can prove that you need treatment, they'll they'll pay
- 40:14Speaker 1: for it if you're disabled, but they won't come to
- 40:17Speaker 1: your house, round you up and drag you off. The
- 40:20Speaker 1: nice young men and their clean white coats will not
- 40:22Speaker 1: come to take you away unless you've broken a law
- 40:26Speaker 1: that demonstrates that you're a threat to yourself or other people.
- 40:31Speaker 1: So they have to make suicide illegal so that you
- 40:35Speaker 1: can be on the wrong side of the law if
- 40:38Speaker 1: you try to kill yourself, and they can put you
- 40:41Speaker 1: in a mental health institution in the hopes that you
- 40:44Speaker 1: will get the help that you need and you won't
- 40:46Speaker 1: try that again. We have a rubble rant from Roboto one, two, three, four,
- 40:55Speaker 1: five sixty seven.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Uh.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Actually we have two rubble rants that I seem from Roboto.
- 41:05Speaker 1: We have if a person has six months, no one
- 41:08Speaker 1: should be trying to keep them alive and allowing the
- 41:11Speaker 1: right to life. Everyone is entitled to uh, if the
- 41:16Speaker 1: family cares, they will show it. Yeah, if they're If
- 41:24Speaker 1: they give you a terminal diagnosis, I don't know how
- 41:26Speaker 1: things work in other countries, but in the US, what
- 41:28Speaker 1: they do when they give you a terminal diagnosis and
- 41:30Speaker 1: they say, this is it. Your condition is no longer treatable.
- 41:35Speaker 1: You are now on something called comfort care. What comfort
- 41:40Speaker 1: care is, they do everything they can to make you comfortable,
- 41:43Speaker 1: but they don't take any heroic measures to keep you live.
- 41:48Speaker 1: If you need treatment to prolong your life, you don't
- 41:54Speaker 1: get that treatment. So they if you were on chemo,
- 41:58Speaker 1: you're not on chemo anymore. But they will give you
- 42:00Speaker 1: pain medicine and you can eat and drink for as
- 42:04Speaker 1: long as you're capable. But if you stop being capable,
- 42:10Speaker 1: they're not going to give you a feeding tube or
- 42:13Speaker 1: an ivy drip of fluids unless your medical plan says
- 42:18Speaker 1: I don't want to die of dehydration because it's painful.
- 42:22Speaker 1: You know, you have, like you lay out all of
- 42:25Speaker 1: the things that they can and can't do. They'll usually
- 42:29Speaker 1: have hospice care come in, and hospice like people look
- 42:34Speaker 1: at me and my job working with people with intellectual disabilities,
- 42:38Speaker 1: and oh, you're an angel. No, I'm just a worker.
- 42:41Speaker 1: People who do hospice care are angels because they have
- 42:46Speaker 1: to lose people at every job they go to, and
- 42:52Speaker 1: you know they care for these people. And when you
- 42:56Speaker 1: are a caregiver, a professional caregiver, you develop and attach.
- 43:00Speaker 1: There's no way to not do that. You want to
- 43:01Speaker 1: make sure this person is comfortable and as content as
- 43:06Speaker 1: they can be. There's no detaching yourself from that. You
- 43:12Speaker 1: can be as clinical about it as you want. It
- 43:15Speaker 1: still hurts when you lose somebody, and even if it's
- 43:19Speaker 1: somebody that you've only known for a couple of weeks.
- 43:22Speaker 1: And so those those people really are angels. But they
- 43:28Speaker 1: will go in and anything you can't do for yourself,
- 43:32Speaker 1: anything you want help with, like it can be anything
- 43:34Speaker 1: from helping you to continue to eat and bathe and
- 43:39Speaker 1: stuff like that, to making sure you know that any
- 43:44Speaker 1: housekeeping that needs done is done. And just depending on
- 43:50Speaker 1: what role they fill in hospice is so it's not
- 43:56Speaker 1: like they don't they don't prolong life unless there's something
- 44:00Speaker 1: of a chance, right and Roboto one, two, three, four,
- 44:07Speaker 1: five sixty seven goes on and says, hope hospice. Each
- 44:10Speaker 1: of these were for a dollar, says hospice would be
- 44:14Speaker 1: king in such matters. Many methods to reverse it. Some
- 44:18Speaker 1: one has to do their own research. And actually sometimes
- 44:24Speaker 1: being helpless is enough that hospice will come in. You
- 44:28Speaker 1: don't have to be departing in six months, right or
- 44:34Speaker 1: two weeks or whatever. Sometimes they don't have a date
- 44:37Speaker 1: for you. Sometimes it's better if they don't give you
- 44:40Speaker 1: a date. I mean, they gave me a date and
- 44:42Speaker 1: I'm still here, so.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Uh.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Senior Sticks thirty eleven gave us two dollars and said, Mike,
- 44:51Speaker 1: good chance for England versus USA? What say you?
- 44:56Speaker 2: Are we talking about football?
- 44:57Speaker 1: I'm assuming because I don't. It's probably not American football.
- 45:05Speaker 2: No, I mean, I mean, I mean the sport way.
- 45:08Speaker 1: The one that we call soccer over here.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Yes, well, dive grass is the best name for it.
- 45:14Speaker 2: I mean American football is hand egg and British football
- 45:18Speaker 2: is dive grass. Oh yeah, sorry, I don't talk about football,
- 45:25Speaker 2: but maybe I will if there's an England versus USA,
- 45:29Speaker 2: because I have allegiances to both of those countries. But
- 45:34Speaker 2: I'm still going to remain quiet until someone wins, and
- 45:37Speaker 2: then I'll gloat no matter what happens.
- 45:41Speaker 1: There you go.
- 45:42Speaker 3: They can't get past Mexico Monday.
- 45:47Speaker 2: Yeah, Mexico's pretty good.
- 45:52Speaker 1: See that is all of our super chows, all of
- 45:55Speaker 1: our super chats and our rumble rants. So we can
- 46:01Speaker 1: actually get into the article now forty eight minutes after
- 46:03Speaker 1: this started the show. So the article is a year old,
- 46:10Speaker 1: but the subject isn't there. And this article was referenced
- 46:18Speaker 1: to me by someone, and I saw some other articles,
- 46:21Speaker 1: but I kind of liked the coverage of this one
- 46:26Speaker 1: better because a lot of the articles were very brief,
- 46:29Speaker 1: probably because this has been talked about for a few years.
- 46:35Speaker 1: So some of this information is a bit old. But
- 46:41Speaker 1: if I skip a paragraph, that's why. But aside from that,
- 46:47Speaker 1: a lot of it isn't. Terminally ill people in England
- 46:51Speaker 1: and Wales are to be given the right to an
- 46:53Speaker 1: assisted death in an historic societal shift that will transform
- 46:57Speaker 1: end of life care. So you could tell already that
- 47:00Speaker 1: for this After months of argument, MP's narrowly voted in
- 47:05Speaker 1: favor of a private member's bill introduced by Labor's Kim Ledbetter.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Maybe that's better, we would say better here in the US, though,
- 47:16Speaker 1: which could become law within four years. Well there, there,
- 47:21Speaker 1: it's looking like it might become law more within one year.
- 47:29Speaker 1: The emotional debate. The emotional debate in Parliament was dominated
- 47:36Speaker 1: by pleas from opponents of the bill for stricter safeguards
- 47:39Speaker 1: against coercion by abusers, concern from disabled people, warnings about
- 47:44Speaker 1: the fundamental change in the powers of the state when
- 47:48Speaker 1: granted new rights over life and death, and now again
- 47:56Speaker 1: at the time the Prime Minister Keir Starmer voted in
- 48:00Speaker 1: the bill, So.
- 48:01Speaker 2: Of course you did. Of course you fucking did. By
- 48:03Speaker 2: the way, I just want to I just want to
- 48:06Speaker 2: make sure there's representation in these numbers, because we've seen
- 48:12Speaker 2: things in Canada that's there's a certain demographic that's over
- 48:16Speaker 2: overrepresented in the government killings. And I'm going to call
- 48:19Speaker 2: them government killings because that's what they are. You can
- 48:22Speaker 2: dress it up in whatever euphemism you like. I just,
- 48:26Speaker 2: you know, we see representation in everything else, certainly in
- 48:32Speaker 2: positions of privilege. I just, I just, I just want
- 48:39Speaker 2: to see if the percentage of demographics killed are representative
- 48:45Speaker 2: of the demographics that live in the country. And if
- 48:48Speaker 2: it's not the case, I'm going to have to wonder
- 48:52Speaker 2: if there's some skullduggery afoot not to sound like a
- 48:57Speaker 2: conspiracy theories theirst, but I get the feeling it's going
- 49:02Speaker 2: to be mostly Native Brits killed, just like it's mostly
- 49:06Speaker 2: Native Canadians killed. My theory. I'm just being now out there.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Yep says it will head to the House of Lawyers
- 49:19Speaker 1: and Peers are not expected to block its progress, though
- 49:23Speaker 1: opponents said they would continue to fight the bill there.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Royal assent is widely expected by the end of the year,
- 49:33Speaker 1: and it didn't happen by the end of the year,
- 49:39Speaker 1: but it looks like it's going to happen by the
- 49:41Speaker 1: end of this year. We'll give people with less than
- 49:44Speaker 1: six months to live in England and Wales the right
- 49:46Speaker 1: to an assisted death after approval from two doctors and
- 49:49Speaker 1: a panel including a psychiatrist, social worker and senior lawyer.
- 49:55Speaker 1: So I didn't know you called them lawyers over there.
- 49:57Speaker 1: I thought you called embarrassters.
- 50:00Speaker 3: We do. It's a bit of both.
- 50:02Speaker 2: We we keep adopting American English because we hear so
- 50:06Speaker 2: much of it in the TV show as we watch.
- 50:09Speaker 1: So you guys are adopting a bastard child. That's great,
- 50:13Speaker 1: British people.
- 50:14Speaker 2: British people can speak American English. But Americans can't speak
- 50:18Speaker 2: English English.
- 50:19Speaker 3: My cousins same math instead of maths.
- 50:24Speaker 1: Yes, it's all. It's all one subject here. It's just
- 50:28Speaker 1: there's different iterations of it. So which is we don't
- 50:35Speaker 1: think of them as different different maths. They're all maths.
- 50:39Speaker 1: It's just very confusing, I guess.
- 50:42Speaker 3: And my cousin, my little custom started speaking in an
- 50:44Speaker 3: American accent. Now he's only four, oh boy, but she
- 50:49Speaker 3: watches a lot of American TV.
- 50:52Speaker 1: That's that's going to make it difficult for her over there,
- 50:55Speaker 1: isn't it?
- 50:56Speaker 2: Apparently Apparently American children when they when they watch so
- 51:00Speaker 2: much Pepper Pig, start speaking in English accents.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Yeah see what my generation, it wasn't Peper Pig. It
- 51:07Speaker 1: was doctor Who There you go?
- 51:09Speaker 2: But yeah, imagined the other way around, like pretty loads
- 51:14Speaker 2: of American TV from from cradle to grave. So yeah,
- 51:18Speaker 2: we're very familiar but with the American vernacular and we're
- 51:23Speaker 2: mostly speaking it now, which is fine because they're pretty
- 51:27Speaker 2: fucking similar to be honest.
- 51:29Speaker 1: Yeah, opening the debate, I you in color? You still what?
- 51:35Speaker 3: I still put you in color color?
- 51:38Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, that that always turns me for a loop
- 51:41Speaker 1: when I see it. I want to pronounce it differently,
- 51:44Speaker 1: but I'm not exactly sure how. Opening the debate, Leadbetter said,
- 51:49Speaker 1: I'm going to keep saying lead Better until somebody corrects me. Said,
- 51:53Speaker 1: now was the time to seize the moment to correct
- 51:58Speaker 1: the profound injustices of the status quo. It's profoundly injustice
- 52:03Speaker 1: that we're not killing people. Guys, just want you to
- 52:06Speaker 1: know that and to offer a compassionate and safe choice
- 52:10Speaker 1: to terminally ill people who want to make it. The
- 52:15Speaker 1: Labor MP for spin Valley said it was not a
- 52:20Speaker 1: choice between living and dying. It is a choice for
- 52:22Speaker 1: terminally ill people about how they die. She said, rejecting
- 52:27Speaker 1: the bill was not a neutral act. It is a
- 52:29Speaker 1: vote for the status quo. Notice they're not saying a
- 52:33Speaker 1: specific thing. It's a vote for pain. It's a vote
- 52:37Speaker 1: for torture, it's a vote for anything bad. Just it's
- 52:43Speaker 1: a vote for the status quo. What is the status quo?
- 52:53Speaker 2: L Yche clearly the status quo.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Quote in the US, where we don't have a federal
- 53:02Speaker 1: right to die, I guess there's some states that do have.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Like doctor Kavorkian years ago, got that started, there's a
- 53:10Speaker 1: few states that do have. Yeah, Oregon. But if in Ohio,
- 53:18Speaker 1: for instance, I don't think we have it here. We
- 53:21Speaker 1: don't necessarily say, oh, well, you don't have the right
- 53:25Speaker 1: to die, therefore we're going to ignore your final wishes.
- 53:30Speaker 1: If you if you have a you know you can
- 53:33Speaker 1: have a do not Resuscitate order. You can actually have
- 53:38Speaker 1: it posted in your hospital room. You can have it.
- 53:43Speaker 1: They put a bracelet on you that has d n
- 53:47Speaker 1: R on it so that they know that if you
- 53:51Speaker 1: code that, they don't traumatize you on your way to
- 53:55Speaker 1: the other side. So it's not what's this time is
- 54:00Speaker 1: quote in the UK do they have do not do
- 54:03Speaker 1: not recitate order?
- 54:04Speaker 3: They have they have to disabled people specifically.
- 54:09Speaker 1: I thought that might be the case. Or if you
- 54:11Speaker 1: have a terminal illness and you know you're going to
- 54:13Speaker 1: die anyway, there's there hits a point where trying to
- 54:16Speaker 1: resuscitate is just a cruelty, but it's doesn't necessarily mean
- 54:25Speaker 1: that it's occasing people to death.
- 54:28Speaker 3: I have ificently have that as well on my file.
- 54:33Speaker 1: It's quite possible and sometimes if people if people are
- 54:39Speaker 1: deemed at some point to not be able to make
- 54:41Speaker 1: that decision for themselves, so it's often made for them
- 54:45Speaker 1: but it is definitely something that like both of my
- 54:52Speaker 1: parents when when they got that to the level of
- 54:58Speaker 1: illness and and infirmity, that they knew that the next
- 55:05Speaker 1: kind of crash they had was not they weren't going
- 55:09Speaker 1: to survive it. They both went through that process, Mom
- 55:15Speaker 1: when she had COVID and Dad when he was in
- 55:19Speaker 1: the hospital with his injury and he'd already they'd already
- 55:25Speaker 1: brought the crash card in and had to resuscitate him
- 55:28Speaker 1: once and he didn't want to go through it again,
- 55:31Speaker 1: and he said his heart couldn't take it. Dad had
- 55:37Speaker 1: his heart was at twenty five percent effectiveness, though he
- 55:41Speaker 1: was really the way that he was looking at it
- 55:45Speaker 1: was if they keep trying to do this every time
- 55:50Speaker 1: his heart stopped, eventually it wasn't going to work, but
- 55:55Speaker 1: they would keep traumatizing him over and over again with it.
- 56:00Speaker 1: There's a point at which you stop arguing with God
- 56:04Speaker 1: and you go home.
- 56:06Speaker 3: Uh.
- 56:06Speaker 1: And that was that was pretty much the way he
- 56:08Speaker 1: what the way he put it when he decided to
- 56:11Speaker 1: get the DNR bracelet, which I was opposed to it
- 56:18Speaker 1: until I really understood. I really didn't understand until after
- 56:21Speaker 1: everything was over. But because he was still capable. I
- 56:29Speaker 1: couldn't overwrite it, and wouldn't have tried, because he really
- 56:34Speaker 1: was still capable. But a lot of a lot of
- 56:38Speaker 1: the time, you know, the status quo is, we're not
- 56:43Speaker 1: going to force you to live if you are dying
- 56:46Speaker 1: a natural death, if you are dying, because it's your time, right.
- 56:52Speaker 1: So what they're saying here is the a vote for
- 56:55Speaker 1: the status quo. When they're saying a vote for the
- 56:57Speaker 1: status quo, what they are saying is a vote for
- 56:59Speaker 1: not killilling people. Rejecting the bill is not a neutral
- 57:04Speaker 1: act to vote for not killing people. That doesn't sound
- 57:08Speaker 1: quite as it's a vote for the status quo. That's
- 57:13Speaker 1: such double speak, and it fills me with despair to
- 57:20Speaker 1: think MP's could be in here, could be here in
- 57:22Speaker 1: another ten years time, hearing the same stories. Terminally ill
- 57:27Speaker 1: people and families were in the public galleries watching the debate,
- 57:32Speaker 1: and at a rally in Parliament Square. Dame Esther Ranson,
- 57:39Speaker 1: terminally ill with lung cancer, whom I hope I didn't
- 57:42Speaker 1: butcher her name, whom star War promised you, oh good,
- 57:47Speaker 1: promise you would make parliamentary time to debate the bill,
- 57:52Speaker 1: said she had never quite believed it would come to pass.
- 57:55Speaker 1: It won't come in my lifetime. I won't live long enough,
- 57:57Speaker 1: but I am so relieved it will help future generations
- 58:01Speaker 1: to look forward to a good death. I am astonished
- 58:05Speaker 1: I have lived to see the moment.
- 58:06Speaker 3: She said.
- 58:09Speaker 1: So here's where they're they're definitely promoting it. They're quoting
- 58:20Speaker 1: the pros, not not necessarily so much the cons, but
- 58:25Speaker 1: they're they're quoting the pros, and they're talking about it
- 58:30Speaker 1: as if like nobody questioned the status quo thing right,
- 58:34Speaker 1: and they're they're commenting it as if it is a
- 58:37Speaker 1: battle to do the right thing against people who don't
- 58:41Speaker 1: want to do the right thing. If you're either for
- 58:45Speaker 1: pro right thing or anti right thing, but you're not
- 58:47Speaker 1: pro wrong thing. Notice, there is no wrong thing they
- 58:51Speaker 1: can describe except status quo. So they go on with.
- 58:58Speaker 1: Concerns were raised by this ability. Activists who held a
- 59:02Speaker 1: protest outside Parliament, and MPs opposed to the bill made
- 59:06Speaker 1: passionate please that it would lead to people being coerced
- 59:09Speaker 1: into ending their lives early. The Bishop of London, Sarah Malayley,
- 59:16Speaker 1: a former Chief Nursing Officer for England, said that it
- 59:19Speaker 1: would be a service introduced amid multiple risks to the
- 59:24Speaker 1: most vulnerable, including serious shortfalls and social and palliative care.
- 59:30Speaker 1: So for anybody that doesn't know and doesn't want to
- 59:33Speaker 1: look it up, palliative cares that the care that that
- 59:37Speaker 1: we talked about a little earlier with with regard to hospice.
- 59:43Speaker 1: They come in and provide care to somebody who is
- 59:47Speaker 1: on death storstep or on their deathbed.
- 59:49Speaker 3: Basically, that's that's the cat that my uncle was safe.
- 59:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's basically supposed to remove as much
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: of the suffering as possible from your death, and it's
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: supposed to help your family so that they're not struggling
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: as much with the situation. One of the issues is
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: that it is it is an angelic job. There aren't
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: very many people who are capable of doing it. And
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: if even if they are burnout is it hits you
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: harder in types of care where you're you're losing people,
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: and it hits you harder in types of care where
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: you see people fade. So if you get really burned
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: out in er, you get really burned out working in
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: nursing homes, and you get really burned out in palliative
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: care because of that, there's a shortage of workers in
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: that area, like all those areas, and so you end
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: up in a situation where there aren't enough people to
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: go around and everybody's overworked. So there's one shortfall, right
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: the next one they're gonna mention here. It does not
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: prevent terminally ill people who perceive themselves to be a
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: burden to their families and friends from choosing assisted dying,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: she said. And it would mean that we become a
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: society where the state fully funds a service for terminally
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: ill people to end their own lives, but shockingly only
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: funds around one third of palliative care. So people are
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: being people in need of paliative care are being denied
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: funding by a system that pays for medical care. Universal
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: health Care is telling them, no, you can't have palliative care,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: or you aren't getting a full assistance with your palliative care,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: but they'll pay to kill you. This is one of
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: the big fears, and it's something that's been happening in
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: Canada where people are denied coverage for health care that's treatable,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: or for health conditions that are treatable, mental health conditions
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: and things like that that aren't terminal, but then they're
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: allowed to go through with medical assisted death, and that's
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: happened in Oregon as well. Opening debate for those opposed
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: to the bill. Opening the debate for those opposed to
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: the ability for Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said he was
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: an atheist but had rejected the bill because he believed
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: the right safeguards were not in place. So this is
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: something that we have to hope has changed, because if there,
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: if there are not safeguards in place, a bill like
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: this could allow somebody who is experiencing depression with suicidal
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: ideation to act on that ideation and use the state
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: mechanism to make it happen. We were promised the gold standard,
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: a judicially underpinned set of protections and safeguards, he said,
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: citing concerns from professional bodies, including the Royal College of Psychiatry.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: I disagree with Ledbetter's assessment that it is now or never,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: and it is this bill or no bill, and that
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: to vote against this at third reading is a vote
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: to maintain the status quo. None of those things are true.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: So here's where we're gonna get off track a little bit.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: One of the stories my parents told me when I
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: was growing up, was how the state that we live
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: in and the country that we live in ended up
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: with such powerful teachers unions. School teachers' unions. There is
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: a thing that the authoritarian left does with bills, laws,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: changes to the structure of your society, that I'm sure
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: the right probably does it too. But this is an
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: interesting point is this happens unions. This happens with laws
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: and policies, It happens with curriculum and education, it happens
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: with everything that they want to get done. They will
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: blunt force attack, brute force attack, like they're trying to
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: figure out your password with We're going to reintroduce this
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: over and over again, and we're going to take a
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: vote on it over and over again until it passes.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: And we're not going to determine that it's a settled
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: issue until we get enough people to vote for it
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: that it passes.
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: That's not that they don't just bill mmm.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: So the one thing that they do is they change
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: the wording of what they're doing. Another thing they do
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: is they'll change the rules on the vote, for instance,
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: in Ohio, to get the teachers' unions in so that
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Ohio is a closed shop in the public education system.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: You cannot you have to be in the union to
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: be part of the education system, or rather, you can't
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: be involved in a competing service like a professional association.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: They had the teachers in mass vote on this over
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: and over again and could not couldn't get all of
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: the school systems to agree. So they went to an
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: individual vote. But instead of voting on, you know, each
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: school system whether they would become part of a union
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: or not, they had the individual vote vote whether the
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: entire state would you nied or not. And the urban
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: areas they were able to take, they didn't bother with
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: the rural areas. So the professional association that the teachers
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: and the school system that I grew up in were
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: a part of ended up having to be dissolved because
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: the urban school teachers outvoted the rural school teachers and
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: forced the union on every public school in the state.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: And what they did in the state, the National Education
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: Association did throughout the country, and so every state deals
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: with the NEA. And they did that, they voted on
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: it every year for like ten years or something, and
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: then they never voted on it again. And businesses get
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: hit with the same thing union votes. They'll push a
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: vote every year until they get a majority yes for
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: the union, and then the employees are unionized and the
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: company has to deal with it or close up shop
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: and move and then after that they never vote again.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: And it's been my opinion that like labor unions, teachers' unions,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: all of that, they should just have a vote every
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: year regardless. They should never stop voting every year. If
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: the workers are no longer satisfied, then the union no
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: longer has a hold on that business. But that's not
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: how they do it. And with these these laws, I
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: think most legislation should get revisited, and you know, Violence
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: Against Women Act has to be revisited. I think every
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: two years they have to reauthorize it. And there's always
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: the possibility that they could say, no, we're not going
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: to reauthorize. Right now, you have two guyinocentric sides of
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: the political fence arguing over the the color of the bill.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: You know, it's pink, No, it's light red. Right, That's
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: that's basically it. But as more and more of the
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: mainstream becomes aware of men's issues, there might be bigger
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: changes come along. They might degender it that would piss
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: the feminists off something awful. There might be other things,
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: but it expires if they don't reauthorize it. The budget
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: has to be redone every year. Why shouldn't something like
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: this have to be revisited annually? How many people are dying? Well,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: why are they dying? What's the statistics on this? What's
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: the let's debate? Is this law really the way that
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: we want it to be? Should we change it? Should
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: we eliminate it? Should we make it extremely strict and
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: keep the extremely strict version.
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: You know?
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: And and it should be that way. It should not
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: be something that they vote in and then and then
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: it's just there forever. But that seems to be what
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: happens with a lot of and a lot of the
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: times you get lifetime politicians, people that enter the Senate
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: in their thirties and die on their way to their
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: last Senate meeting that just rubber stamp everything that's already
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: been passed. So people have to be very politically active,
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: and it definitely has to be something that needs to
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: be revisited with like with VALA, it's every other year.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: With with something like this, as as it's life or
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: death right, it should at least for the first ten years,
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: be revisited annually, and then after that, if you haven't
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: tweaked it enough that it doesn't need revisited again, it
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: should be abandoned. Well, we can't get we can't get
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: this straight, so let's dump it. We're not gonna have
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: a law like this anymore. And after that maybe maybe
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: they can revisit it once every five to ten years.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: But you know, that's just my opinion. Politicians on the
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: other hand, some of them are saying it's now or
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: never because they don't know that people will will ever
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: approve it. You got to approve it now so that
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: we can stop talking about this right. The cabinet was
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: deeply split on the legislation. Cabinet members to join Starmer
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: voting in favor included Rachel Reeves, that Uh Cooper, John Healey,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: Liz Kendall, Pat McFadden, Heidi Alexander, ed Milliband, Steve Reid
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: and Peter Kyle.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Retarded communists missed out being Prime Minister because he bacon
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: signs probably.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: Yes, Oh gosh, that's really bad. How can you not
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: eat a bacon sandwich properly?
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: He's a very awkward man. Yeah, he's a politician. What
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: are you gonna do?
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: Uh? Among those opposed were Angela Rayner, Bridget Phillipson, John
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: Jonathan Reynolds, West streeting she shabana mood and is it
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: my mood?
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: Yeah? Jones, all regarded communists opinion discarded. I just want
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: to I want to hear what any of these politicians
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: feel about the death penalty when it questions when it
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: comes to you know, mass murderers and mass rapists and
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: mass gang rapists, like do they think any of them
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: should be subjected to death? Or or or just Grandma
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: when she has a fucking bruise on a hip? Like
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: when when is? When is death an acceptable outcome? Is
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: it the people who pose the danger to others? People
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: who absolutely do not post the danger to others. It's weird,
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: isn't it.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: Albert Nada Retro gave us five dollars Canadians that actually, Hannah,
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: unions have elections and if you aren't happy with the
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: people running things, they can vote in new people. There
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: you go, That's not what I was talking about. That's
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: how democracy works, he says. No, democracy is if you
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: have to vote on whether or not to have a union.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: Once after the union is in, you don't stop on
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: voting on whether or not to have a union. That's democracy.
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: If you can only vote on who gets to be
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: your master, you're still a slave if you can only
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: vote on who gets to skim. This is why you
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: don't argue with an en cap about stuff like this.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: I disagree with it the same reason that I disagree
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: with having a government right. I don't like the idea
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: that we're voting new people in here either. I don't
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: think there should be people in. I don't think there
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: should be cute computers in. I don't think there should
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: be any calculating thing in. There shouldn't be an inn
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: burn the in down, No, don't do that. But I
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: don't think that it should exist. We have to work
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: with it because it does, and you deal with the
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: way things are not the way you want them to be.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: But I feel the same way about unions as I
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: do about the government, because they are still an authoritarian system.
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: They decide who gets to work and who doesn't. Yes, Michael,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: yes I am, but not a communist. I think that's bullshit.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: The labor peer Charlie Falconer will take over. Oh yeah,
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: I did read that. Okay, we'll take over shepherding the
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: bill through the Lords, with backing from conservative peers Michael
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: Forsyth and the former Scottish Secretary Alistair Jack. For the
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: gen xers listening Alistair, this would be of course Americans
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: that grew up watching Nickelodeon. You should Should the bill
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: pass the Lords, there will be no provision in place
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: for a number of years. Really, it takes that long.
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very slight process.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: Wow. See that's it's different. It takes it doesn't take
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: that long. Usually, if a bill passes the House and
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: the Senate here in the US, it gets sent to
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: the President's desk, and once the president has had an
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: opportunity to have you know, his his advisors go over it,
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: and he understands that it's it either gets signed into
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: law or he vetoes it. If he vetos it, then
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: they can still override that veto with I believe it's
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: the two thirds majority, which is they have a rough
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: time getting fifty one percent on a lot of stuff.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: But it can be done. It can happen. It has
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: I think once in the past at least. But it's
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: a possibility, not likely.
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: A prime minister has more power than a president. Believe
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: it or not. It's like a party in a constitutional
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: monarchy has more power than a party in the republic.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: Weirdly enough, it just takes ages. It's much like the
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: health system in America. It will cost you an arm
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: and a leg. In Britain, it will cost you nothing,
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: but it will take years.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Well and and then if it costs you nothing, who
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: does it cost.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: Well, it'll cost you your taxes. It'll cost you everything.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: That's that's the ultimate question. This is again and cap uh.
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: Nothing is free, and I think the government does for
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: anybody is free because you're paying taxes to fund that ship.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: So that's that's one of the reasons why people who
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: have no likelihood, you know, in their family, of anybody
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: being terminally ilse to have a stake and a bill
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: like this, even if the possibility is vanishingly remote, your
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: tax dollars are going to pay for it. There was
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: a huge debate.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: For years a pounds mm hmm.
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: It makes your money sound heavy. Here in the United States,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: there's been a big debate going on for years about
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: whether the government should be supporting organizations that perform abortions
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: because slightly more than half of the public some years
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: and slightly less than half of the public other years,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: but overall I think historically has been slightly more than
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: half our pro life. They oppose at the very least
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: elective abortion. And if you define pro life as an
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: individual who opposes elective abortion but supports it in circumstances
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: where it's necessary to prevent the death of the mother
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: due to complications of the pregnancy, it's well more than
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: half the public. If you throw in circumstances where the
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: there's been a DNA test or something in the fetus
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: is going to be profoundly disabled and suffer and die,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: it's an even larger majority bits into the pro life
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: And if you throw in tolerance for abortions in the
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: case of rape, most people are pro life. If you
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: had a law that with outlaw abortion except under those circumstances,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: most of the public would support it. I'd be the
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: only pro lifer that is out there going No, we
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: should get women to stop having abortions on their own,
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: even though I don't think they will.
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: Control.
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they see it as a form of
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: man control. Albert Nata Retro gave us another ten dollars
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: and says Part one, By the way, I'm disgusted with
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: the misuse of assistant suicides. It sure does give you
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: Americans an excuse to ignore the tyrannic adventures of Orange Hitler.
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: Your imaginary friends are not my problem. Albert Albert Nada
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: retro gave us twenty dollars and said Part two are
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: annex Canada, annex Greenland, kidnap A president and his first
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: lady demanded the leader of another country stepped down live
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: about the Gordie Howe Bridge and Canada's involvement in Afghanistan.
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: We get it. You watch CNN, you don't vet your
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: news stories. But none of this is about Trump. It's
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: a we're discussing a UK law. So your Trump derangement
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: syndrome is effectively diagnosed by bringing Trump up in a
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: live stream that isn't even about him. That's pretty sad.
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: I still have one Trump hat that somebody got me
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: an icmi.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny. Do people get mad at you for
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: it in the UK?
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: I don't wear it books that they'll get beaten up.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. People told me that because I'm
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: in an urban area, I would have that problem. So
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: during the COVID crisis, just to really piss people off,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: I got a mask, like one of those cloth masks
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: that doesn't do jackshit, that had Trump on the written
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: on the front of it. Wore it all over Beaver Creek,
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: which is real close to the Dayton border. It's it's
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: a suburb. In between Beaver Creek and Dayton is another
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: suburb called Riverside. Were it all around Riverside, wor it
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: all around Hubert Heights, which is to the north of
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: Dayton and Beaver Creek and Riverside. No problems whatsoever. Sa
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: I got courageous and I went into Dayton wearing it.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: Still no problems, not even in a downtown. Nobody said
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: a damn word. Nobody cared like here. This is an
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: area that's much more diverse and opinions than people think.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the cities that are
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: not La or New York or anything anything like that,
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: any big stupor blue cities. I think most mid size
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: and smaller cities are a lot redder than people think.
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: Most of the neighborhoods in this area are pretty red.
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: Trump signs were everywhere during all three of the last
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: three elections or for as I like Beaver Creek, I
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: just don't like driving there. I think I made a
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: song about that on a on an ai app. I
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: put that out a little while ago. So four years.
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: The government and NHS have four years to implement the bill,
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: though Ledbetter has said she hoped it would be ready sooner.
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: They can't start killing people soon enough, guys. There are
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: no answers as yet to whether as to whether the
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: NHS would provide the service or private providers, whether it
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: will be free at the point of use. Now this
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: is this leads me to a very serious question, all right,
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: So Mike and Richard, if it takes up to four
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: years to implement a bill after it's been passed by House,
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: by both houses and signed by the Prime Minister, what
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: happens if they decide that it's a bad law and
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: they want to repeal it. Does it take up to
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: four years to get rid of it after that?
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: It's never happened before.
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: But yeah, it takes a long time, and I think
- 1:25:10Speaker 6: it's up to four to five years and told them
- 1:25:14Speaker 6: that's insane.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: It depends what the bill does. If it makes the
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: lives of British natives worse, they'll speed it through as
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: quickly as they can. Yes, that's what happened with the
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: with the jabs.
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: Yeah, the online say the online Safety bill.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: What if they get an extreme amount of pushback from people,
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: What if it becomes like.
- 1:25:42Speaker 3: Oh, they still they don't care.
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: It depends if they can just say, no, all of
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: your complaints are racist, then none of those complaints matter.
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: If they can say all of your complaints are misogynist,
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: then none of those complaints matter.
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: So imagine for a second that they get to a
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: point whatever has happened after the bill has passed, convinces
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: enough of the Members of Parliament and the members of
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: the House of Lords Lords that this bill needs to
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: be repealed, and so they debate it for however long
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: they have to debate it to do that, and decide
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: to repeal the bill, and each of the House's votes
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: to repeal the bill and the bill to repeal or
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: repeal the law, the bill to repeal the law goes
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: to the Prime Minister's desk and gets signed. How long
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: does it take them to enact the repeal ge that's insane,
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: So they would continue to kill people for that amount
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, See if the President signed into law
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: something that says we are now going to outlaw assisted
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: suicide in the United States. After an assisted suicide bill
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: had passed, we are repealing the assisted suicide law, and
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: it's now illegal. As soon as it was it was confirmed,
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: it was on the books, it would be enforceable.
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: But that's anatic i fugal Senate and Congress.
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's that's before it's signed and on the books.
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: It goes through Congress and the House of Representatives in
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: the Senate and then goes to the President's desk and
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: he signs it. But once he's signed it, that's it.
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: There isn't any further to do, Like it gets put
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: into actual into the actual records, and it might get
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: communicated to the states and communicated to the law enforcement agencies,
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: but it's law. After it's been signed, it's that's it.
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: That's day one. There's no two year waiting period, there's
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: no nothing that it takes them that long term. Implement it.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: As soon as it is in place, it's in place.
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: The only time that's not the case is if the
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: law says that the government has to do something like
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: they're going to make a department for something and and
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: that department has to do things. Then it's going to
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: take the amount of time it takes to create a
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: business basically to build. They may even have people in
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: mind for it already, but there would still be some
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: time that would it would have. And yeah, unless the
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: bill has a clear defective date of enforcement, like they
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: might say this starts starting January first of next year,
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: this is the law, and then it will start that day.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: But otherwise it's immediate, the same thing when Supreme Court
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: rules on something.
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: Yeah, Parliament works very slowly.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: Zor wow, I thought the speed of government here was slow.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: Je repete.
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: Again, it depends on the outcome for the British people.
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: If it makes life better for us, it will take
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: infinite years and it will never happen. If it makes
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: life worse for us, they'll fast track it and it'll
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: be done in sixty seconds. You know what I mean.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: Yeah, so it goes on. By the way, Thomas Cook,
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: thanks for reminding me about the effective data enforcement. I
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: didn't mean to not mention you. Let's see, it goes
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: on termally ill patience. The prognosis of six months will
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: have to be of sound mind to proceed. But MPs
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: rejected an amendment that would have prevented anyone from accessing
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: the service on the basis of feeling too much of
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: a burden to loved ones. Well, and I looked at
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: the bill. They don't actually have to be of sound
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: mind either. It looks like if you are not of
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: sound mind, someone else can make the decision on your
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: behalf or assess your interest in it and agree with
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: you or disagree with you. Like they get veto power.
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: There will be criminal sanctions on any family member found
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: to be coercing someone to choose to hasten their deaths.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: Through the debate, proponents of the bill sought to argue
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: that MP's could not allow the status quo to persist.
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: They keep using that term quo, status quote. Status quo
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: is just the way things are right now. That's what
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: that means. Status quo is the current status. Like right now,
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: the status quo is that in the United States is
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: if your income is under a certain level, the government
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: will help you buy food for at least a certain
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: period of time. That's the status quo.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: And right now in the UK, the status quo is
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: don't kill people. And that's what we need, what we
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: need to undo. But once the status quo is do
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: kill people? But like, oh, we have to maintain the
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: status quote. It's what we've always done. It's the right
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: thing to do.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, but yeah, status quo can mean just any
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: current thing. That is, so if I were to challenge
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: the left on the idea that the status quo is bad,
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: that would be the status quote. Okay, well, the current
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: status quo in welfare is if you are under a
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: certain income level, you get assistance for a period of
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: time under certain conditions. Should we eliminate that because it's
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: the status quo? Albert Adaretro gave us another ten dollars.
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: Canadian said, I guess you forgot. I was a Canuck
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: for Trump every time he ran. I have a video
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: explaining it. Thing is, TDS goes both ways. Okay, you
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: already don't understand TDS right there, and you're at the
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: he other extreme. I don't have cables, so I can't
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: watch the NN. No. Trump derangement syndrome isn't about whether
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: you love or hate Trump. It's about being obsessed with Trump.
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: You have it. You can't talk about anything but Trump.
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: This conversation that we're in right now isn't about Trump,
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: and you're upset because it's not about Trump. That bothers you.
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: But this is a very important issue. Male suicide is
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: a very important issue, and a law that allows the
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: medical establishment to start suiciding people for you know, at
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: their own request, can be very dangerous, especially if the
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: UK goes the same route as your country did and
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: starts suiciding people with depressions so they don't have to
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: pay for prozac or therapy. The Labor MP David Burton
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: Samson said his Christian beliefs had meant he was initially
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: against assisted dying, but the exertions from constituents who had
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: described their loved ones dying and excruciating pain had persuaded
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: him to support it. See this is this is where
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: it gets difficult for me. There are conditions where I
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: can understand somebody wanting to have an assisted death, and
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: I can understand exactly why you know that they would
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: they would want to escape what's coming when when they know,
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: based on their diagnosis, how bad it's going to be.
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: When you get a diagnosis and you find out that
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: in your future, even if you just find out there's
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: a very high risk of something awful. You'll go through
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: a little bit of a grieving process and then you
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: start bargaining, and part of that might mean you start
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: living more healthy, but also part of that you develop
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: a magical thinking. Right, you go through half your life
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: and you get a die diagnosis like that, you might
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: you might think, well, if I do all the right
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: things now, maybe it won't happen, right, Maybe I won't
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: lose my kidneys like my dad. But that's not the
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: way it always works.
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: You start looking at symptoms. Maybe maybe I won't have
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: strokes like my grandma, But that's not the way it works.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: Every time you lose your keys. After that, you're like, oh,
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: has it started. And so if you get a terminal diagnosis,
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: and the terminal end of it is known to usually
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: be very painful, the level of dread that comes with
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: that is going to be significantly higher. And it would
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: look very promising and very tempting to just hit the
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: escape button and and not have to deal with that.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: I think most people would see that escape button very
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: differently from inside that situation then they see it from
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: outside that situation.
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: There's a lot of people kill themselves. I don't get
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: I don't get how difficult this is. I mean, you
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: could say once once someone is so deep into a
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: terminal illness that they want to kill themselves and they're
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: no longer of sound mind, especially if it's something like
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: Alzheimer's or something that they can't they can't be trusted
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: with their own lives. But putting the government in charge
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: of this does does nothing to solve this problem because
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: because it's just passing the buck onto onto someone else,
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: who's who's making these medical decisions. If anything, it should
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: be up to the family. Ideally, it should be up
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: to the person to decide when they take their life
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: and by what means they take their life. And I
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: suppose that's when it becomes difficult because general members of
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: the public aren't allowed access to any weapon or drug
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: that could it could be instrumental in ending their lives.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: And yeah, I get I get that. This is this
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: is a weird twist in the situation where if if
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: if members of the general public were allowed access to
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: weapons or drugs that could kill themselves, then they they
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: might do it when when when they don't need to
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: do it. But if you're not solving this by by
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: putting the government in charge of it. You just take
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: making freedom away from people when it comes to their
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: own lives and their own bodies, and taking freedom away
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: from the family members of whoever that person is. And
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: I don't know what the happy medium is. I guess
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: when a person is in the last six months of
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: terminal illness, maybe they can plead with the government to
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: give them the necessary drugs or something. But I guess
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: that could be could be corrupted too. But nothing's more
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: corruptible than the government, is what I'm saying for all
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: of these options when it comes to giving people the
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: rights and the permissions over their own bodies. I mean,
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: it's it's no better if you if you pass the
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: buck onto the government, as though the government is it
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: was a better arbiter of when a person should live
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: than the person themselves or or or their family members.
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: It just.
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to solve any problems. It doesn't seem
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: to make any sense when you could simply give people
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: the legal right to take their own lives in whatever
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: way they see fit. And yeah, people are people are
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: going to argue that they're not going to do it properly. Well,
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: maybe the government's not going to fucking do it properly either, Like.
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: Any authority is gonna they're not going to have your
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: best interests in mind. They're going to have their best
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: interests in mind. And at the absolute kindest, their best
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: interest won't be you individually. It will be the population
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: that they're an authority over and uh, at the at
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: the worst, it'll it'll be their financial bottom line or
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: some sort of prejudice or combination of both. MHM with
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: chronic pain care, as a family member of a few
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: patients with severe, debilitating chronic pain, lifelong chronic pain, it
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: was going to get worse over the course of their
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: lives and never go away. I watched it go from
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: we'll pay for physical therapy if it's effective and prevents
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: it from getting worse.
- 1:40:54Speaker 3: Two.
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: Will only pay for physical therapy if you're going to
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: get better and recover for not permanently, just you have
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: to do that temporarily and then you got to permanently
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: be better. But well, we'll cover your pain meds to
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: we don't cover physical therapy. That's on you. But we'll
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: give you all the drugs you need to. These drugs
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: are expensive, I mean dangerous, and we have to limit
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: how much you can take.
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: To.
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: These drugs are expensive, I mean dangerous, and we have
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: to severely limit how much you can take to. These
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: drugs are expensive and I mean dangerous. We got to
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: get you off these drugs. We're not gonna do anything
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: else for you. And it's too late for the physical
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: therapy because it's been twenty or thirty years and now
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: you can't really benefit from it anymore. There's damage that's
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: been done by the medications that we gave you. Sorry,
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: you're just out of luck. You're gonna have to learn
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: to live with the pain now that it's it's ten
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: times worse. I don't have any faith in the insurance
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: system turning around then and covering pain meds for people
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: with terminal illnesses. They're going to turn around and say, no,
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: we'll cover your death. Well, we'll cover a third of
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: your death. The rest is on your family. I don't
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: think this would do well in the United States, and
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: I don't know how things are in the UK, but
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: two thirds of the opiate epidemic here in the US,
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: at least two thirds, probably more like five sixths of
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: it is oncologists and other doctors that treat conditions that
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: cause chronic pain being prosecuted for prescribing medications to treat
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: their clients their their patients health symptoms.
- 1:43:08Speaker 3: Fentanyl isn't that bad. I mean, yeah, see.
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: They're not going after it on the street as effectively
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: as they go after it in the doctor's office and
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: in the pharmacy. And they go after the patients too,
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: And then they make you go to a pain clinic,
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: and then they go after the doctor in your pain clinic,
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: and then they make you go to rehab like that's
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: and and of course you have to pay for it.
- 1:43:40Speaker 3: What's opioid? Is it like fentanyl?
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: Opioids? There anything that comes from the poppy the specifically,
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: I think it's the California poppy, one of the flowers
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: that I am severely allergic to, the entire plant.
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: It includes it includes morphine, heroin, uh, fentanyl, methadone, which
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: is what they give you to get off of heroin.
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: And I think there's I think there's another opiate.
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: Is that why I went to Afghanistan? Allegedly?
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: Well, the Taliban was growing it and selling it here.
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: That's the before fentanyl, there was a heroin trade here
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: in the US that was really out of control. And
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: that was coming from Afghanistan.
- 1:44:39Speaker 3: That was with the French connection and Vietnam.
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: Yep so, and a lot of it's just basically about money.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: If it wasn't, then they would be focusing on the
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: street drugs, but they're not. They're focusing on the doctor's offices.
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: We got a super chow that I missed at eight
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: eighteen pm. I apologize for that. We got fifty dollars
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: from the official reverse Traditionalism channel on YouTube who said,
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: just to clarify for doc if it doesn't detail derail,
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: reverse traditionalism just refers to the gender traditionalism that we
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: know only really started in the nineteen fifties when moms
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: started staying at home, or from two hundred and fifty
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: years ago when the Tender Years made the mother get
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: custody in the divorce. Reverse trad is stay at home
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: dads to oh Okay to protect custody and anti feminism,
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: if not the gender neutral values of trad too, like monogamy,
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: feminists don't actually support stay at home dads because they
- 1:45:55Speaker 1: are the ones talking about how women supposedly suffer greater
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: rates of domestic stick abuse in those relationships. Allison said
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: it might be necessary in the context of ninety percent
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: or more jobs going to women in certain fields nowadays.
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: Sorry for the long thing. So I don't know, Mike,
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: if you want to respond to that, unless you're not
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: in Mike must have gone out for a cigarette.
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: Yeah, let's figure up, right, So just.
- 1:46:27Speaker 1: Just on a side note, trad cons. What trad cons
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: have wrong is this idea that there was a before
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: and after with women working. That's not where the division was. Okay,
- 1:46:39Speaker 1: there was an upper class and a lower class. In
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: the upper class, in the wealthy and what might be
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: considered upper middle class. Now, back then there was there
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: was you know, women could have careers in things like
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: writing or uh you know, artwork. They might even become tutors.
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: They might do other prestigious things. But they didn't necessarily
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: go out and earn a living to support their family.
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: They did things for their own prestige or because they
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: had some degree of creativity or drive to do something,
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: and that was it. They didn't have to earn money.
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: They had they had the support of a husband that
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: earned plenty of money enough to make them comfortable. Then
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: in the lower classes, like lower middle class to poor,
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: you had women working because they had to, right there
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: was no before women worked for poor people. You would
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: be somebody's uh cook, or you would clean how clean house.
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: For wealthier women, possibly those women that are writing novels
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: or doing tutoring at some wealthier person's home, governesses might
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: be a higher, higher income level unless they're really young,
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that.
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe traditionalism versus anti traditionalism is something of
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: a false dichotomy. Yeah, Like maybe there's a middle ground,
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: like in some kind of mutual dowry or where where
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: both parties in a marriage have to have to offer, ah,
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: some work and some stay at home stuff. I don't know,
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: and I know that sort of plays into this whole
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: scam where now men and women both have to work
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: jobs just in order to raise a small family. But
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: at the same time, what are we going to do
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: with all these useless children pretending to be adult women?
- 1:49:31Speaker 3: Right?
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: That's the difficult question, isn't it.
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: It's reached a fever pitch and something has to be
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: done to make sure that women are fucking doing something.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: Women are proving their worth in the world, because we're
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: at a point where women don't have to prove ship
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: to anyone and men have to prove everything, and yeah,
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: that could be called traditionalism. It could be called all
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: kinds of things, like feminism is just hyper traditionalism. Well,
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: feminism is just hyper gines centrism, and gnes centrism is
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: just hyper traditionalism. And then you have to go well,
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: like I said earlier, some traditions make sense because they
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: have a track record, and some traditions don't make any sense.
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: It's just a ritual that we've been doing for ages,
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: despite it making everything worse. And it's difficult to pin
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: anything down because in the last thousand years of romantic chivalry,
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: where men have been coerced into doing obscene amounts of
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: work just in order to be a man. But in
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: this environment where men have to do that made quite
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: astonishing leaps and bounds in technology. And you know, for
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: all the complaints we make about what modern life is like,
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: the technology that men have produced in the last thousand
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: thousand years or so has made life so much easier.
- 1:51:24Speaker 2: And I just think we could possibly move into a
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: world where men do that for their own benefits, for
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: the benefits of everyone, rather than just for the benefit
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: of women. And I think we've I think we've gone
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: far enough. We've reached the point where we've created machines
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: that can do almost every job that the human beings
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: could do. And I think at this point we can
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: be like, all right, you know, you know that free
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: past that we give to women, maybe we can give
- 1:51:58Speaker 2: it to men as well. Maybe maybe we put men
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: in charge of these of these AI machines that can
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: they can do everything that we want did, And that
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: way we can appreciate men and what they've been able
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: to do and what they're still able to do without
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: overappreciating women and all the things they're capable of doing
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: that that men can't do. Like, yeah, and this goes
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: back to to Hannah's now infamous tweet what can women
- 1:52:35Speaker 2: do that men can't? What valuable thing can women do
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: that men can't do? Other than gestation? And yeah, maybe
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: maybe in light of all that, it's it's time to
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: change things up a bit. Maybe men, Maybe women are
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: no more valuable than men.
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: Imagine that now, if women aren't giving birth, what else
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: what else have we got? That's and and the thing is,
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: you know, everybody got mad at me as if I
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: came up with that idea myself. I was responding to
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: a woman who was angry at another uh Twitter user,
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: another poster on x that I'm assuming was a dude
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: I don't even remember the user name, who had said
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: something to the effect of, you know, now women are
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: about to lose the most valuable thing they can do.
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: And of course he was talking about the upcoming in
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: the whatever distant foreseeable future artificial uterus artificial womb, which
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: hasn't actually been made usable yet, and she got mad
- 1:53:54Speaker 1: that that was all he valued women for. And it
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: was in response to her that I said, what other
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: valuable thing do women do that men can't? That's all?
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: I asked? What else? What else should we be valued for?
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: What else should men put us up on a pedestal for,
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: or even just be glad women are around for. It's
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: not personality. Most women are lacking in that department severely.
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: So you can't say companionship. Men can have companionship with
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: other men. You can't say sex because men can get
- 1:54:37Speaker 1: that without another human being. They got machines for that.
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: So what is it? Literally?
- 1:54:48Speaker 3: What is it?
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: What's left that you don't have to prove anything and
- 1:54:54Speaker 1: men should just value you? What do you have left?
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: The butt hurt in that thread, I think uh the
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: tower of butt hurt was taller than the Tower of Babel.
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: It was amazing. It was like that old meme with
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: the the the poop rockets, the two characters just going
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: up into the sky forever on on, more and more poop.
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: It just seemed like that. And the more I interacted
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: with women who were expelling butt hurt into the thread,
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: the more poop rockets I got from more women expelling
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: more butt hurt into the thread. By the end of it,
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: it was like being trapped in the biggest sewer in
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: the entire world. It was amazing. Speaking of poop rockets,
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: we got another super chat. Retro gave us five dollars
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: Canadian and said, I gotta gear up for this. I
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: gave it a second shot, but you guys suck enjoy
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: the last bit of cash you'll ever get from me.
- 1:56:12Speaker 3: Okay, why he crazy?
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: Well, it's not. It's not unusual. There are some people
- 1:56:22Speaker 1: that cannot have a discussion that is not about Donald Trump.
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: That is a problem because there are issues that Donald
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: Trump isn't involved in and doesn't have anything to do
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: with and is unaffected by that are important because they
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: affect average men. They affect below average men, they affect
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: wealthy men, They affect whoever isn't in charge, and in
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: particular this this will affect both sexes. Right, But we
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: can't ignore the fact that the majority of suicides are
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: suicide victims, and majority of deaths from suicide are male,
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: and the majority of male suicides occur in the context
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: of other men's issues. The fact that disabled men do
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: not get the same compassion from our society that disabled
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: women get.
- 1:57:31Speaker 3: Right, it's a struggle can help.
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: Yeah, The fact that men who are injured in the
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: workplace get treated like a problem instead of a patient.
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: The fact that when a man is divorced again he
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: gets treated like a problem instead of a parent, instead
- 1:57:54Speaker 1: of an ex husband, he gets treated like a bank
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: And these are causing men to want to die. Maybe
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: not in huge numbers, but the majority of people who
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: are deciding to die and then acting on it, three
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: quarters of the people who are deciding to die and
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: then acting on it successfully are men.
- 1:58:24Speaker 2: And yeah, we're getting killed by our own governments. Man, Like,
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: I love you, Albert, and I get where you're coming from,
- 1:58:33Speaker 2: because Trump does seem out of his depth and this
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: iran thing, but sort of killed a few Iranians. I mean,
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: compare that with how many fucking Ukrainians have been killed
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: by the previous government and all this shit that's going on.
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: There's no US president that hasn't killed a bunch of
- 1:58:51Speaker 2: foreigners for some stupid war or other. But we're getting
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: killed by our own governments.
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: Yeah, this is.
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: Not killing American citizens. Trump has reinforced ice in a way,
- 1:59:07Speaker 2: and he's killed two American citizens in the pursuit of
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: trying to get rid of twenty million like criminal non americans.
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: But at least he's not killing his own people like
- 1:59:23Speaker 2: here in the UK and over in Canada. We're getting
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: killed by our own government. Then they're barely even hiding
- 1:59:28Speaker 2: it anymore. It's not an exaggeration to say they want
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: us dead. They hate us and they want us dead.
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: That's exactly what they're doing, doing exactly what is consistent
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: with the government that hates its own people and wants
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: them dead. Like Trump's not perfect by any start of
- 1:59:45Speaker 2: the imagination, but at least he's not killing his own people.
- 1:59:49Speaker 2: And that's what we're talking about. Sorry, dude, this is
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: really important.
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. And we are going to spend probably at
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: least three shows on it. I'm looking at this, Let's
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: see how much of this article is left, because I
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: am not going to finish it. It's nine o'clock and
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: we're gonna call it. This is where we are. And yeah,
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: it might take us another whole show to get through that,
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: so there we go. But in any case, this is
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: a subject though we're going to focus on until we
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: get our comparisons made and everything. And like I said,
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: there's things that Trump has done. I'm not gonna go
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: through a list, but there's things that Trump has done
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: that I'm not happy with, and there's things that he's
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: done that I'm happy with. I don't have a strong
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: enough impulse to talk about Trump that I think we
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: need to make a show about it. I don't think
- 2:00:54Speaker 1: he personally is a men's issue because he's not doing
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: anything that dramatically different or worse, I should say, than
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: any other president with regard to men. So and then
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: I'm still waiting to see what's going to happen with
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: the military actions, because the goal, the stated goal is
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: in the long run, to reduce the need for future
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: military action. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: hold my breath. I think every president that's come along
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: has said that, and we always have more excuses for war.
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: So speaking of our governments killing our men with that,
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: I will say, we'll come back and we'll start with
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: believe it's we'll just reread this paragraph, we'll reread this part,
- 2:02:00Speaker 1: and then we'll go through the rest as we as
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: we progress next time. Yes night, motorcyclist. The title nine
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: issues being real along, we're gonna end up having to
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: talk about that again no matter what as well. But
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: and the that's a more complicated issue than people think too,
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: because everybody that's looking at that today is looking at
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: it from the perspective of they they don't like or
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: they do like the transgender population, whether they don't like
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: or whether they do like. They're not looking at it
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: as whether there's a right to single sex spaces or
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: whether there's not a right to single sex spaces. So
- 2:02:50Speaker 1: they're using female victimhood and demonizing men, biological men or
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: you know, people who identify as men as violent and
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: dangerous in order to protect single sex spaces just for women.
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: But there's a long history of women invading single sex
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: spaces that are just for men, So they're obviously not
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: afraid of men, because they would do that if they were.
- 2:03:22Speaker 3: Every time I talked to about that the disingenerous about it,
- 2:03:28Speaker 3: of course they are.
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: They always say, well, we're not a threat to them.
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: Well that's it doesn't matter whether you're a threat to
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: them or not. If you were afraid of them, you
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: wouldn't be going into their spaces, right. They're not afraid
- 2:03:42Speaker 1: of trans women because trans women are male. They're afraid
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: of trans women because trans women are abnormal. There's a
- 2:03:51Speaker 1: lot of people that are abnormal. Geniuses are abnormal. Highly
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: skilled ballerinas are abnormal. Virtuos virtuosos that play like Mozart
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: at five years old abnormal, and rapists are abnormal. You
- 2:04:14Speaker 1: can't put them all in the same group. Abnormal doesn't
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: mean people are bad. Some bad people will imitate protected
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: status to get things they want, and it's fair to
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: suggest that if you have a protected status, you have
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: to police that. And I would say that the transpopulation
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: is not doing that effectively at all, and that's to
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: their detriment. But the idea that women should have protected
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: spaces because of this tiny population is bullshit. And some
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: of the discussions that have taken place around that are
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: even worse. It's that again. It goes right back into
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: this this bill. If we get to a situation where
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: men are absolutely demonized because of that, and boys are
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: being taught in school that they're dirty and predatory and
- 2:05:14Speaker 1: shouldn't even glance in the direction that a woman might
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: be sitting because the male gaze would pierce her with
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: its laser focus.
- 2:05:24Speaker 3: Do you remember Laura Bates?
- 2:05:27Speaker 7: Yep, yep, she's she wants to go into the schools
- 2:05:31Speaker 7: again she has she has the main attendencies towards boys.
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: Mm hmm. That's really dangerous. Yeah, yep. We don't need
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: to be sending any adult into the school that might
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: be a PDF file, but we do. We do have
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: to take off. But I guess I'll leave it at this.
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: If we allow men and boys to be demonized like that,
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: and our countries are passing laws that allow the government
- 2:06:07Speaker 1: to decide people want to die and then kill them,
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: we're gonna get into a situation where some people are
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: going to go along with it. Some men are going
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: to go along with it because they don't have a
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: very good image of themselves. They're raised to believe bad
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: things about themselves that are not true. And by the way,
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: the AC is probably mine, but it's been on through
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: the whole show because I am in Ohio and I
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: can do that if I want. You can report me
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: to the British police all you want.
- 2:06:39Speaker 3: Clue.
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: Sorry, but yeah, but if I didn't have the air
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: conditioner on, I couldn't breathe. So there you go. We
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: will see you guys and next week. Thanks everybody for listening.
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: Thanks everybody, set us, super Chatz, super Chats, super uh
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: whatever they're called from Rubble Rubble Rants. Thanks to all
- 2:07:13Speaker 1: my co hosts for listening to this and and uh
- 2:07:16Speaker 1: talking about it. This is a difficult subject so and
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: it's gonna be a dark focus for a while, but
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: we really do have to.
- 2:07:26Speaker 6: Talk about next next round of drill Cup. They just won,
- 2:07:36Speaker 6: they just won the game.
- 2:07:38Speaker 1: There you go.
- 2:07:40Speaker 3: I've been helping attention to it.
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: Well, that's not bad. That's not bad. That's that's a
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: dude thing. So with that, good night, everybody. We will
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: see you next Thursday.
