Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is HBr News number five oh eight two countries
- 0:08Speaker 1: that don't know what.
- 0:09Speaker 2: The fuck they're doing, where we discuss the news of
- 0:11Speaker 2: the week and give it the badger treatment.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to Honeybatcher Radio. Hope because they're
- 0:20Speaker 1: doing well this week and that you're laughing at all
- 0:22Speaker 1: of this absurdity so that you are not consumed by it.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I am your host, Brian. I'm joined by doctor Randamercam.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Hannah Wallen is not here this week. She had some
- 0:32Speaker 1: kind of a I don't want to like alarm anybody,
- 0:36Speaker 1: but her husband messaged me saying that he is admitting
- 0:40Speaker 1: her to the hospital and that she's not gonna make
- 0:41Speaker 1: it to the show. I mean like to the show,
- 0:45Speaker 1: not like not gonna make it. Make it, so, you know,
- 0:48Speaker 1: just keep her in your thoughts. And I asked, you know,
- 0:52Speaker 1: if she's okay, and I haven't heard anything yet, so
- 0:54Speaker 1: I assume that yeah, yeah, yeah, That's what I'm saying.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Don't don't get black piled by it, just like, you know,
- 1:10Speaker 1: just keep her in your thoughts and just understand that
- 1:13Speaker 1: she's not able to make it. And her husband didn't
- 1:15Speaker 1: seem too alarmed because he was just informing me she's
- 1:18Speaker 1: not gonna make it because I'm admitting her to the hospital.
- 1:20Speaker 1: So if you're going to the hospital, that means that
- 1:24Speaker 1: there's a chance that they can save you, know, do
- 1:26Speaker 1: something for you. So anyway, without without that said, though,
- 1:31Speaker 1: it's just gonna be me and Mike. So might be
- 1:33Speaker 1: a little bit of a shorter show today because we
- 1:35Speaker 1: won't have Hannah's takes and uh, that's okay. We'll just
- 1:40Speaker 1: have to manage without So. And then with all that said,
- 1:46Speaker 1: despite that, today's show is gonna have a bit going on.
- 1:49Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about the developments regarding the Minnesota
- 1:53Speaker 1: assassin pictured here.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Oh for people who don't see it, yeah, I picture
- 1:58Speaker 2: it's pictured there.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Jack Thorne, who is the scriptwriter for Adolescents, the series
- 2:04Speaker 1: that had everybody talking about boys and men, he was
- 2:07Speaker 1: on a BBC question show of some kind and he
- 2:11Speaker 1: said some things that some people might find revealing but
- 2:15Speaker 1: I found pretty predictable. And of course we have the
- 2:19Speaker 1: heat in the Middle East and what everybody's got everybody
- 2:23Speaker 1: talking and more so stick around.
- 2:24Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good time.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Ambishita Jonahs afterwards for the Patron Only show, and I
- 2:29Speaker 1: just realized I don't have that website up, but I
- 2:32Speaker 1: will tell you what it is.
- 2:34Speaker 2: So the Wall Street Journal.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Just put out an article recently that I thought was
- 2:41Speaker 1: interesting insofar as we now have a wig toow phenomenon,
- 2:48Speaker 1: I guess happening, or at least that's the claim. So
- 2:52Speaker 1: American women are giving up on marriage. Major demographic shifts
- 2:55Speaker 1: have put men and women on divergent paths. That's left
- 2:59Speaker 1: more women designed to being signal. The numbers aren't netting out.
- 3:04Speaker 1: So we're gonna get into that a little bit, and
- 3:06Speaker 1: maybe we'll talk a little bit about whether or not
- 3:10Speaker 1: you know this is even like going to be a
- 3:12Speaker 1: problem or or whatever. So be if you want to
- 3:16Speaker 1: join us for that, you have to become a Badger

- 3:45Speaker 1: Okay, So with all that said, I think then yeah,
- 3:49Speaker 1: oh well, one more thing before you get into the stories.
- 3:51Speaker 1: If you don't want to wake up on more to
- 3:52Speaker 1: find that our content's been removed the Internet, go to
- 3:55Speaker 1: badgerfeed dot com. That's badger feed dot com, all right,
- 4:00Speaker 1: So that's where our content lives, all right.
- 4:01Speaker 2: With all that said, let's get into today's stories.
- 4:05Speaker 1: So in Minnesota there we covered last week the case
- 4:08Speaker 1: of Vance Bolter, a fifty seven year old man who
- 4:12Speaker 1: is suspected of assassinating state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband,
- 4:16Speaker 1: as well as attempting to murder State Senator John Hoffman
- 4:19Speaker 1: and his wife. Initially drew significant attention last week. We
- 4:23Speaker 1: covered it on the story on the news show I'm Sorry.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Early reports suggested that Bolter, who had been appointed to
- 4:30Speaker 1: a state board by Governor Tim Walls, was driven by
- 4:33Speaker 1: maga Republican ideology, fueling a narrative of politically motivated violence. However,
- 4:38Speaker 1: a letter found in Bolter's vehicle revealed he believed he
- 4:41Speaker 1: was acting on Walls's orders to kill Senator Amy Klobuchar
- 4:45Speaker 1: to pave the way for Walls's Senate run, indicating his
- 4:49Speaker 1: action stemmed from delusional thinking rather than a coherent political agenda.
- 4:55Speaker 1: This revelation shifted the understanding of Boltra's motives, pointing into
- 4:59Speaker 1: mental instability rather than partisan ideology. The rapid drop off
- 5:03Speaker 1: in media coverage following the discovery of Bolter's letter suggests
- 5:06Speaker 1: an unwillingness to engage with the updated facts, which contradicted
- 5:10Speaker 1: the initial narrative tying to the crime to conservative politics.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Minnesota authorities, including Walls, faced criticism for not quickly clarifying
- 5:20Speaker 1: the situation, allowing misinformation to persist. Bolter's letter, described as incoherent,
- 5:26Speaker 1: highlighted his fractured mental state, undermining claims of clear political motive.
- 5:30Speaker 1: The case underscores how quickly narratives can form and fade
- 5:33Speaker 1: when they no longer serve a particular agenda, leaving the
- 5:35Speaker 1: public to see clearer perspectives through unfiltered sources. In addition
- 5:39Speaker 1: to that, one of the things that they also learned is, oh,
- 5:43Speaker 1: your microphone is doing all kinds of stuff right now. Sorry, yes,
- 5:51Speaker 1: it stopped. Yeah, oh no, it's okay. The other thing too,
- 5:55Speaker 1: I wanted to add to this as well, is that
- 5:58Speaker 1: apparently Bolter's wife, who had no idea this was happening,
- 6:05Speaker 1: was asked by the authorities when they were investigating for
- 6:08Speaker 1: her car, to be if they could like search her car,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and they allowed her. She allowed them to do that,
- 6:13Speaker 1: and they found I think it was like ten thousand
- 6:15Speaker 1: dollars and a bunch of passports for her and her kids,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and like a note that but from Bolter saying that
- 6:22Speaker 1: he was terribly sorry and that she would never understand why,
- 6:26Speaker 1: you know, like why he had to do what he did,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and this was you know, like a guess obviously put
- 6:31Speaker 1: here before he committed these acts. So but you can't
- 6:35Speaker 1: hear Mike. Oh shit, Okay, hold.
- 6:36Speaker 2: On a second.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I just realized that's something I didn't do, which is
- 6:39Speaker 1: probably why you're not getting the static.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I gotta make the panda talk, and I forgot to
- 6:44Speaker 2: do that.
- 6:44Speaker 1: So give me just a second here, not a problem.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give the panda a voice so that Mike. Yeah, well, they.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Should be able to hear you now, okay, good, yeah, yeah,
- 7:01Speaker 3: can you help me? So I assume you ken yes.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Yes, they should be able to hear you.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I'm looking at it and it looks like you're getting audio,
- 7:08Speaker 1: sou But I was. I was able to hear Mike,
- 7:12Speaker 1: but I didn't pipe his audio out to you guys.
- 7:14Speaker 1: But the other day he didn't say anything until just
- 7:16Speaker 1: like wow, when when his Michael folks started doing that.
- 7:18Speaker 1: So anyway, my point is this is just a follow
- 7:20Speaker 1: up story. Vance Bolter apparently was not acting on any
- 7:27Speaker 1: ideological grounds, and was I guess he was. He had
- 7:30Speaker 1: a list, he had a hit list of people that
- 7:33Speaker 1: he was going after, and they were kind of all
- 7:36Speaker 1: over the place, I guess, but he did. He was
- 7:39Speaker 1: at least coherent enough to prepare by leaving ten grand
- 7:43Speaker 1: and a bunch of passports for his wife and kids
- 7:47Speaker 1: before and as far as I know, I think that
- 7:49Speaker 1: I don't know if he's arrested yet. I think they
- 7:52Speaker 1: may have. He may be in custody now or he's
- 7:55Speaker 1: still on the run, but I think they got him.
- 7:58Speaker 1: So anyway, I don't know, might if you have any
- 8:01Speaker 1: thoughts on this, but yeah, no, it's so.
- 8:05Speaker 3: It's it's much like that guy who brained Nancy Pelosi's
- 8:10Speaker 3: husband with a hammer, right, the Democrat. The Democrat run
- 8:14Speaker 3: media pounced on it in the assumption that anyone who
- 8:17Speaker 3: attacks a Democrat must be some kind of crazed maga chud,
- 8:21Speaker 3: when in reality it's just someone who was well, either
- 8:26Speaker 3: someone who was driven insane by sheer proximity to Democrats,
- 8:30Speaker 3: or someone who has simply drawn too Democrats in the
- 8:33Speaker 3: first place because they were already insane. It's not even
- 8:38Speaker 3: a prescribed result of any tactic. It's just an inevitable
- 8:43Speaker 3: an inevitable result of the komodo dragon instinct. Let me expand.
- 8:49Speaker 3: The evolutionary niche of the komodo dragon is, well, they
- 8:53Speaker 3: are man eaters. They're extremely dangerous to humans, but not
- 8:57Speaker 3: in direct combat. They're not quite big enough or strong
- 9:00Speaker 3: enough to actually overpower a human being, or anything as
- 9:03Speaker 3: substantial as a human being. What they do to their
- 9:05Speaker 3: prey is simply bite them, perhaps on the ankle or
- 9:09Speaker 3: the leg. At that point they run away and so
- 9:12Speaker 3: do their prey, and in all likelihood those two individuals
- 9:15Speaker 3: never meet again. But the thing about the komodo dragon
- 9:18Speaker 3: bite is it's riddled with infectious diseases, once to which
- 9:23Speaker 3: the dragon itself is immune, but its prey is not.
- 9:27Speaker 3: I mean, most animals have a mouth that is a
- 9:30Speaker 3: petry dish of germs, but the Komodo dragon in particular
- 9:34Speaker 3: has made this its evolutionary niche. It actually harbours these
- 9:38Speaker 3: germs as a form of chemical warfare. So all it
- 9:41Speaker 3: needs is one well placed bite anywhere near the circulatory
- 9:45Speaker 3: system of its target, and that bite will soon go
- 9:48Speaker 3: septic and result in acute blood poisoning or something else
- 9:55Speaker 3: without modern medicine. If you get bitten by a Komodo dragon,
- 9:58Speaker 3: you're going to slowly succumb the sepsis and you'll eventually
- 10:01Speaker 3: collapse and die in a random location. At that point,
- 10:06Speaker 3: your dead body is lying there as a free meal
- 10:09Speaker 3: for any carnivorous scavenger that happens to wander in its
- 10:13Speaker 3: general direction, and on the island of Komodo. That scavenger
- 10:18Speaker 3: is very likely to be another Komodo dragon, the one
- 10:22Speaker 3: that bit you. It's probably miles away by that point,
- 10:26Speaker 3: but it is. It is probably busy eating a different
- 10:30Speaker 3: animal that was killed by a different Komodo dragon some
- 10:33Speaker 3: time ago. That is the evolutionary niche of the Komodo dragon.
- 10:37Speaker 3: One can't really call it a tactic because they don't
- 10:39Speaker 3: really know what they're doing. They just bite something then
- 10:43Speaker 3: eat something else. But it works out because there are
- 10:45Speaker 3: so many of them wandering around on the island, biting
- 10:49Speaker 3: anything they come across, thereby ensuring that at all times
- 10:52Speaker 3: there is a constant supply of dead and dying creatures
- 10:55Speaker 3: in their vicinity on which they can snack. You've been
- 11:00Speaker 3: paying attention, folks, and I have to ask, at what
- 11:03Speaker 3: point in this analogy did the penny drop as to
- 11:06Speaker 3: how it's analogous to democrats. They don't know what they're
- 11:10Speaker 3: doing either. They are no more cognizant of any tactic
- 11:16Speaker 3: than a komodo dragon is. They just wander around their environment,
- 11:20Speaker 3: poisoning whoever they come across, and then they leave them
- 11:24Speaker 3: for dead. Then eventually they happen upon a dead body
- 11:28Speaker 3: and they go, huh, why would maga do this? And
- 11:34Speaker 3: then they consume the soul of that dead body and
- 11:36Speaker 3: use it and use its nourishment to continue poisoning every
- 11:40Speaker 3: hapless animal that come across. People often like to call
- 11:44Speaker 3: democrats lizard people, and to be honest, I get that
- 11:48Speaker 3: you're being rhetorical in your attempts to dehumanize them, but
- 11:52Speaker 3: to be quite frank, you're not dehumanizing them enough. They're
- 11:57Speaker 3: not lizard people. They're not even people. They're not even
- 12:02Speaker 3: ordinary lizards. Most lizards are harmless to human beings. These
- 12:07Speaker 3: creatures are man eating dragons, all right, and not even
- 12:10Speaker 3: the cool kind of man eating dragons that will fictitiously
- 12:14Speaker 3: face a human in direct one on one combat and
- 12:17Speaker 3: defeat it fair and square. They're not tank units like alligators.
- 12:21Speaker 3: They're not stealthy units like skinks. They are dark, use
- 12:26Speaker 3: social zombie units who max out their poison attack stats,
- 12:32Speaker 3: and to the detriment of everyone, the devs have never
- 12:36Speaker 3: nerfed those stats. They have only buffed them, turning the
- 12:40Speaker 3: Democrat build into a horrifically op option that makes the
- 12:44Speaker 3: game frankly unplayable in the current meta. It's an S
- 12:49Speaker 3: tier build, no doubt, but it doesn't deserve to be.
- 12:53Speaker 3: The game is rigged quite obviously. You'll like how I
- 12:56Speaker 3: was channeling tiers Zoo. The tiers Zoo is an awesome
- 12:59Speaker 3: channel too. He's probably a Democrat. He has the stocky
- 13:02Speaker 3: Guly voice of a woke democrat, but whatever, still a
- 13:05Speaker 3: good tantel credit with credits jee hardest tangent ever.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Fun tangent. But and again it was just a follow up.
- 13:15Speaker 1: And of course, yeah, vance Bolter was apprehended near his house.
- 13:21Speaker 1: It took him forty three hours to find him though,
- 13:23Speaker 1: So yeah, they got him. He's facing state and federal
- 13:26Speaker 1: charges two counts of second degree murder and two counts
- 13:29Speaker 1: of attempted second degree murder for the fatal shooting of
- 13:32Speaker 1: those Minnesota state representatives and senators. So but and apparently
- 13:38Speaker 1: also yeah, just kind of unhinged. Could he be a
- 13:43Speaker 1: Manchurian candidate.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Sometimes, like I'm I'm open to like the conspiracy theories.
- 13:49Speaker 1: I'm open to the idea that this guy was activated
- 13:53Speaker 1: like in a Jason Bourne movie, like they just turned
- 13:56Speaker 1: him on. But I mean, maybe they just wasted their
- 13:58Speaker 1: resources on a fifty seven year old, pudgy politician instead of, like,
- 14:03Speaker 1: I don't know, like some kind of Olympian athlete. That's
- 14:07Speaker 1: what I would have done for my Manchurian candidates. I
- 14:10Speaker 1: want them to have good stats. But anyway, let us
- 14:12Speaker 1: know what you guys think about this one in the comments.
- 14:15Speaker 1: We're gonna move on to the next story now, and
- 14:18Speaker 1: I look forward to your thoughts. All right, So I
- 14:21Speaker 1: have a video here I want to show you guys,
- 14:24Speaker 1: but I'm also gonna summarize a little bit of the story.
- 14:26Speaker 2: So on June.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Nineteenth, twenty twenty five, on an episode of something called
- 14:31Speaker 1: BBC Question Time, I don't know who watches it. I
- 14:34Speaker 1: guess people who have licenses and don't have a choice
- 14:37Speaker 1: host it by Fiona Bruce.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Boomers, Yeah, mostly Fiona Bruce.
- 14:43Speaker 1: In Greenford, West London, a special panel discuss the challenges
- 14:47Speaker 1: of growing up in the twenty first century, with the
- 14:49Speaker 1: focus on pressures facing young people. The panel included screenwriter
- 14:53Speaker 1: Jack Thorne, head mistress Catherine Berblas Berbal, sing tuber Tommy
- 15:01Speaker 1: in It. Tommy in It, I understand that he said
- 15:05Speaker 1: some things that are really cringe as well, Science and
- 15:08Speaker 1: Technology Secretary Peter Kyle m p and Lord Willetts. Thorn
- 15:12Speaker 1: known for co writing the Netflix series Adolescents, highlighting the intents,
- 15:16Speaker 1: societal and online pressures on young boys to conform to
- 15:20Speaker 1: toxically masculine ideals, particularly through exposure to manosphere and in
- 15:26Speaker 1: cell culture on social media. And so I want to
- 15:30Speaker 1: just play this short clip, It's about a minute and
- 15:32Speaker 1: thirty six seconds long of Thorn's commentary, and I want
- 15:38Speaker 1: you guys to think about what kind of person this
- 15:40Speaker 1: guy is.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Okay, in cell culture and the manosphere are terrifying things
- 15:46Speaker 4: that are coming for young men, and they and they
- 15:48Speaker 4: want to involve them in it. In terms of what
- 15:51Speaker 4: healthy masculinity looks like, you know, I get questioned as
- 15:55Speaker 4: my own masculinity all the time because.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Of the show.
- 15:58Speaker 4: I may because I don't looked like a certain type
- 16:01Speaker 4: of man, and that worries me.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Not that what do you mean?
- 16:04Speaker 5: What do they say?
- 16:06Speaker 3: Well, if you.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Looked at the comments in terms of when I was
- 16:11Speaker 4: announced for this panel tonight, there was about thirty or
- 16:15Speaker 4: forty questioning the way I look and the sort of
- 16:22Speaker 4: person I am and whether I'm a soy beard twat
- 16:25Speaker 4: I think was one of the things that was said
- 16:28Speaker 4: about me. I think the really troubling thing and the
- 16:32Speaker 4: thing that I found talking to young people is that
- 16:36Speaker 4: pressure to look and behave in a certain way. And
- 16:39Speaker 4: I do think that's something that I didn't experience growing up.
- 16:42Speaker 3: You know, my hero growing up.
- 16:43Speaker 4: Was Jervis Kkker, a skinny weirdo, and I was able
- 16:48Speaker 4: to play to that skinny weirdo within me. And there's
- 16:52Speaker 4: a lot of people that say I need to get
- 16:54Speaker 4: to the gym. I need to get I need to
- 16:55Speaker 4: get fit, I need to look a certain way because
- 16:58Speaker 4: that is the only way I'm going to live normal life.
- 17:01Speaker 4: And that threat of abnormality is a huge threat. And
- 17:05Speaker 4: I do think we need to be helping boys through
- 17:08Speaker 4: that because it's a difficult, difficult age for them, and
- 17:12Speaker 4: this particular crisis that I do believe we're in in
- 17:15Speaker 4: terms of social media is only exacerbating that.
- 17:20Speaker 2: All right, So.
- 17:25Speaker 1: The discussion sparked various reactions. Thorn called for legislative action,
- 17:30Speaker 1: such as the smartphone ban for under six scenes to
- 17:34Speaker 1: protect young people from harmful online content like the Manisphere,
- 17:39Speaker 1: a view echoed in his earlier statements about needing radical
- 17:42Speaker 1: action to address the crisis of male violence. However, some
- 17:46Speaker 1: criticized the panel's composition, with an average age of forty eight,
- 17:50Speaker 1: for lacking sufficient young voices, as only Tommy in It
- 17:53Speaker 1: was under forty five. Social media posts reflected mixed sentiments.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Some praise Thorn's focus on toxic masculinity, while others, like
- 18:01Speaker 1: user at Jenny Tyrrell thirty one, felt he downplayed the issue,
- 18:05Speaker 1: missing an opportunity to directly address young boys. So even
- 18:08Speaker 1: the reactions now, granted, the comments are full of friends
- 18:12Speaker 1: of the men's movement that we have had on, like
- 18:15Speaker 1: Phil Mitchell and well, I forget some of the names,
- 18:21Speaker 1: but a lot of people that we have had on
- 18:23Speaker 1: have had things to say about this. But Mike, I
- 18:26Speaker 1: don't know if you want to. I know you've seen
- 18:28Speaker 1: this clip and there's a Tommy Innitt clip too that's
- 18:31Speaker 1: been going.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Around, but I don't know if you want to say
- 18:32Speaker 2: anything about that.
- 18:33Speaker 3: You have you finished the write up?
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, it's all yours.
- 18:38Speaker 3: I'll just repeat something got tweeted almost exactly a week ago.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Ah quote take it to the bank. The grooming gangs
- 18:47Speaker 3: are going to be blamed on the manisphere. I won't
- 18:51Speaker 3: name drop the sigh up in question, but you'll notice
- 18:54Speaker 3: the government won't let us criticize any Muslim except one
- 18:58Speaker 3: the one that teaching school Chill and to fear end
- 19:02Speaker 3: quote and sure enough, right on cue. As soon as
- 19:08Speaker 3: the case report reared its ugly head, the BBC, as
- 19:13Speaker 3: you can see here, when all guns are blazing against
- 19:16Speaker 3: the quote unquote manisphere. But it's not as though they're
- 19:19Speaker 3: explicitly blaming the manisphere for the Muslim grooming gangs. They're
- 19:24Speaker 3: not even mentioning the Muslim grooming gangs. They're just continuing
- 19:28Speaker 3: to pretend they're not happening while they laser focus their
- 19:32Speaker 3: efforts on demonizing British males and social media. It's no
- 19:38Speaker 3: surprise that the old media will always and forever blame
- 19:42Speaker 3: everything on the new media for the same reason medieval
- 19:46Speaker 3: scribes blamed everything on the printing press. It's their competition.
- 19:52Speaker 3: It's the innovation that is going to put them all
- 19:55Speaker 3: out of work unless they make every effort to stamp
- 19:58Speaker 3: it out or control it completely. And it stands the
- 20:02Speaker 3: reason they will blame the men of their own nation
- 20:06Speaker 3: for everything, because they have long since been taken over
- 20:10Speaker 3: by miss andric orucophobic communists who cannot conceive of any
- 20:14Speaker 3: other narrative. So, in a way, my tweet was not
- 20:19Speaker 3: as prescient as one might think. This is not a
- 20:22Speaker 3: new development. The BBC and the British legacy media in
- 20:26Speaker 3: general has been doing this for as long as the
- 20:28Speaker 3: Muslim grooming gangs have been a thing, and for as
- 20:31Speaker 3: long as the quote unquote manosphere has been a thing,
- 20:34Speaker 3: if it even is a thing. Frankly, it's not people
- 20:39Speaker 3: discussing the plight of men is not a sphere any
- 20:43Speaker 3: more than men are a sphere. It's not a niche subject,
- 20:48Speaker 3: like discussing the flight habits of European swallows. Men exist
- 20:53Speaker 3: all over the world, and so do people who give
- 20:56Speaker 3: a shit about men. We cover the entire planet, and
- 21:00Speaker 3: we cover every conceivable aspect of human life, because every
- 21:04Speaker 3: aspect of human life involves men. If we are a sphere,
- 21:09Speaker 3: it's a sphere the size of the Earth. It just
- 21:13Speaker 3: happens to be a sphere that is rather thin on
- 21:16Speaker 3: the ground. What we are is rare. There are relatively
- 21:22Speaker 3: few of us, at least compared with those who unthinkingly
- 21:26Speaker 3: and ideologically fawn over women. But that's because we're living
- 21:30Speaker 3: through the late stages of Romantic chivalry, where women are
- 21:34Speaker 3: pedestalized as beacons of purity and innocence, while men are
- 21:40Speaker 3: demonized as subhuman, pot bellied hobgoblins. This narrative, this narrative
- 21:46Speaker 3: seems normal to most people, but it's not normal. It's
- 21:50Speaker 3: just typical, very important difference, and it's only in the
- 21:55Speaker 3: last century or so when this social narrative was codified
- 21:58Speaker 3: into politics. That we call feminism, where women are not
- 22:04Speaker 3: just purer than men and more innocent than men, they
- 22:08Speaker 3: are oppressed by men. And it's only in the last
- 22:12Speaker 3: fifty years or so when feminists conceded to themselves that
- 22:17Speaker 3: if women are oppressed by their own men, then foreign
- 22:21Speaker 3: men must also be oppressed by their own men. And
- 22:26Speaker 3: I do mean their own men. Modern women are like
- 22:30Speaker 3: modern governments. They're not interested in helping women or minorities.
- 22:34Speaker 3: They're only interested in controlling their property, I either men
- 22:39Speaker 3: of their nation through constant punishment. In the case of Britain,
- 22:47Speaker 3: they cannot countenance any solution to anything other than punishing
- 22:52Speaker 3: British men forever. That's why British women will even turn
- 22:57Speaker 3: a blind eye to the abuse that British go girl's
- 23:00Speaker 3: face by foreign men. Because foreign men do not belong
- 23:05Speaker 3: to British women. It's not their place to control foreign men.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Their only conceivable response is to punish their own men,
- 23:15Speaker 3: even when they've done nothing wrong. And it's not just women.
- 23:18Speaker 3: It's Jack Thorne here. He's the one good man, don't
- 23:22Speaker 3: you see? So he too has taken it upon himself
- 23:26Speaker 3: to punish every man who would dare to wear the
- 23:29Speaker 3: same white male's skin as him. So please don't take
- 23:35Speaker 3: his bait when he talks about his appearance, when he
- 23:40Speaker 3: talks about the way the so called manisphere judges him
- 23:43Speaker 3: solely on what he looks like. And I've seen this
- 23:46Speaker 3: from some commentators. I've seen some of them snapping at
- 23:49Speaker 3: the bait like adolescent guppies, going, well, you are a diminutive,
- 23:53Speaker 3: emaciated manlet. That's exactly that's exactly what you would say.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Look at you, you pathetic halflings. Think something physiognomy check
- 24:02Speaker 3: m Please do not fall for this people. I know
- 24:08Speaker 3: how tempting it is to knee jerk into criticizing someone's appearance,
- 24:13Speaker 3: but you're only making a rod for your own back,
- 24:16Speaker 3: a rod designed by your enemies, a trojan horse of
- 24:21Speaker 3: shallow esthetic irrelevance. I do not care what this man
- 24:25Speaker 3: looks like. I know plenty of manlets who look just
- 24:30Speaker 3: like him, but they talk perfect sense. And I know
- 24:34Speaker 3: plenty of hence gigachads who talk the same ridiculous bullshit
- 24:39Speaker 3: as this cunt. And you know plenty too, I mean
- 24:43Speaker 3: everyone in Hollywood, for instance. They're selected for those you
- 24:48Speaker 3: know attributes. This is one of the hundreds of hills
- 24:52Speaker 3: that I will indeed die on. Folks, what many of
- 24:56Speaker 3: you call a physiognomy check is just a convoluted code
- 24:59Speaker 3: for I don't like this person's politics, and so I'm
- 25:03Speaker 3: going to bitch about their appearance. You never do a
- 25:08Speaker 3: blind experiment where you judge a person's looks before you
- 25:12Speaker 3: know anything about their politics or their opinions. It is
- 25:17Speaker 3: always the other way around, where you hear about someone's
- 25:21Speaker 3: political opinions and then you make fun of their appearance.
- 25:25Speaker 3: When you do that, you're playing right into this cunt's hands.
- 25:29Speaker 3: It gives the distinct impression that you'd rather preoccupy yourself
- 25:33Speaker 3: with surface level esthetics than the substance of any actual arguments.
- 25:37Speaker 3: When Normis see you doing that, you lose them. They go,
- 25:42Speaker 3: see he's right. The manisphere is just a bunch of
- 25:45Speaker 3: shallow retard who have no interest in substantive intellectual pursuits.
- 25:50Speaker 3: And yeah, you've handed the victory to your enemies. Eyes
- 25:56Speaker 3: on goal, people. This man is evil because he is
- 26:00Speaker 3: He is spouting evil, because he sees men as his property,
- 26:06Speaker 3: as slaves to be controlled and punished and hated. It
- 26:11Speaker 3: does not matter what he looks like or how he
- 26:16Speaker 3: holds himself or how he talks. What matters is what
- 26:20Speaker 3: he is saying. What matters is his behavior. What matters
- 26:24Speaker 3: is the fucking proper gander he pumps out like adolescence.
- 26:29Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm not just talking about optics and talking
- 26:32Speaker 3: about principle as well. They happen to align perfectly on
- 26:36Speaker 3: this matter. If you fall for this bait, you will lose.
- 26:43Speaker 3: And frankly, if you fall for this bait, you deserve
- 26:46Speaker 3: to lose. Please, for the love of God, just do better.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and yes, he is definitely doing the one good
- 26:57Speaker 1: man thing he is. Essentially, this is the way this
- 27:00Speaker 1: guy competes with other men. He writes stories where he
- 27:06Speaker 1: takes the men he dislikes and places them in a
- 27:10Speaker 1: certain light so that he can make the case that
- 27:13Speaker 1: he is a better person than those other men. So
- 27:17Speaker 1: he is banking on you using your you know, like,
- 27:22Speaker 1: using his appearance against him, because it only supports his
- 27:26Speaker 1: ultimate claim, which is that you know, I'm different and
- 27:30Speaker 1: therefore I'm better because I don't fit their mold. And
- 27:34Speaker 1: if you attack him on his looks and you're basically
- 27:37Speaker 1: you're you're falling into that trap. But he is the
- 27:42Speaker 1: he is the weak man. That not because of the
- 27:46Speaker 1: way he looks, but because of what he is doing.
- 27:49Speaker 1: It is his way of competing, It is his way
- 27:52Speaker 1: of He is still engaging in the kind of male
- 27:56Speaker 1: competition that he accuses the manisphere of doing it. He's
- 27:59Speaker 1: just doing it in a different way. He's doing it
- 28:01Speaker 1: with his with his propaganda. So and this, this kind
- 28:06Speaker 1: of exposes the truth is is that I don't think
- 28:09Speaker 1: this guy gives a shit about boys and men, even
- 28:13Speaker 1: if he claims it. And it also proves that you know,
- 28:15Speaker 1: a lot of people have watched the show and they've
- 28:17Speaker 1: tried to like analyze it in other ways and say, well,
- 28:20Speaker 1: maybe it's not about toxic masculinity. No, no, no, he
- 28:23Speaker 1: is telling you explicitly. Now, maybe he didn't do it,
- 28:26Speaker 1: maybe he didn't pull it off, but he is explicitly
- 28:28Speaker 1: telling you what the purpose of his series was and
- 28:32Speaker 1: it had the impact.
- 28:33Speaker 2: I mean, they're calling it a documentary.
- 28:36Speaker 1: It's he's doing the press tours like it almost doesn't
- 28:39Speaker 1: matter if it was a completely shitty story, because the
- 28:42Speaker 1: entire apparatus is gonna get behind him and they're gonna
- 28:44Speaker 1: put him in front of every camera and they're gonna
- 28:46Speaker 1: hope that somebody criticizes his appearance because that will be
- 28:50Speaker 1: used to fuel their propaganda further. So I would be careful,
- 28:54Speaker 1: but what I would do is point out that he's
- 28:56Speaker 1: actually trying to be the alpha through this, and I
- 29:00Speaker 1: say the alpha in the manisphere sense, in the sort
- 29:03Speaker 1: of straw man that he would create, you know, for them,
- 29:06Speaker 1: in case people get triggered by me using the A word.
- 29:08Speaker 1: But this is his way of competing, is what I'm saying. So,
- 29:13Speaker 1: and speaking of that, let me show you guys a
- 29:15Speaker 1: clip from Tommy in it. Who's I guess a British
- 29:19Speaker 1: influencer probably like intended.
- 29:21Speaker 3: To take this on, this guy on because the Guardian
- 29:24Speaker 3: wants did an article kind of championing him. Oh yeah,
- 29:27Speaker 3: as the antidote to the Manisphere.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Oh of course, like the Harry Sisson of the UK.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Sure yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, let's like, let's
- 29:36Speaker 2: give this listen. I have not heard this yet.
- 29:38Speaker 5: So, I mean, one of the things that people talked
- 29:41Speaker 5: about before your series, but also your series highlighted hugely
- 29:44Speaker 5: was misogyny and young men feeling shut out from the world.
- 29:52Speaker 5: That is, it's more bias towards women and towards girls
- 29:56Speaker 5: and that there is an element of society they cannot
- 29:59Speaker 5: access unless they behave in a certain way. Is that
- 30:02Speaker 5: something you are aware of online?
- 30:03Speaker 6: I'm very aware of and it's very prevalent. And I
- 30:06Speaker 6: think healthy masculinity is the absence of that, you know.
- 30:09Speaker 6: It's it's men being kind and also having esteem in
- 30:13Speaker 6: themselves and not needing to put other people down. That
- 30:16Speaker 6: these things can coexist. I think it's he's.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Literally putting them down.
- 30:22Speaker 1: What he's doing, Yeah, putting it down while saying, ounce
- 30:27Speaker 1: of self awareness in your fucking soul, dickhead.
- 30:31Speaker 6: It is on the internet who are getting the roles
- 30:33Speaker 6: of teachers, you know, and speaking to people like as
- 30:35Speaker 6: young as like below ten, you know what I mean,
- 30:38Speaker 6: who maybe aren't growing up now you can feel good
- 30:43Speaker 6: about yourself, and then you've got these people, you know,
- 30:45Speaker 6: the Andrew Takes of the world, going hey, here's how
- 30:47Speaker 6: you can be good and girls will like you and
- 30:49Speaker 6: do all this stuff and everyone will think you're cool.
- 30:52Speaker 6: And it's just this super wondering panel.
- 30:55Speaker 3: I think, anything, what is any one of this panel
- 30:59Speaker 3: going to point out that Andrew he is a Muslim?
- 31:01Speaker 3: They're not. No, that's that's what I meant at the
- 31:04Speaker 3: top of my.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Now, I know what you wasn't going to name drop him.
- 31:08Speaker 3: But they keep doing this. Like I said, the only
- 31:12Speaker 3: Muslim they're allowed to criticize is the one.
- 31:16Speaker 2: But they don't.
- 31:17Speaker 3: They crowned is the King of the Manisphere. And that
- 31:20Speaker 3: mentioned that he's a Muslim.
- 31:21Speaker 2: No, because it's the King of the Manisphere, right, because.
- 31:24Speaker 1: He's not a Muslim to them, he's the king of
- 31:26Speaker 1: the Manisphere first because if they if they make him
- 31:30Speaker 1: a Muslim, then they become Islamophobic. But if he's just
- 31:33Speaker 1: Andrew Tates, then they don't have to address that, right. So,
- 31:39Speaker 1: but yeah, it's just a couple more.
- 31:40Speaker 6: Seconds here, you know, that could be put in place
- 31:43Speaker 6: to stop that, because that only came about in the
- 31:45Speaker 6: past two years and it's been quick, and I think
- 31:48Speaker 6: that's the most concerning thing for me.
- 31:51Speaker 3: All Right, I'm coming to you, Tommy, give me your
- 31:54Speaker 3: best video. I'm gonna fucking tear it apart.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Does he make video, Well, he's an influencer. Yeah, he's
- 32:00Speaker 2: probably on TikTok or something.
- 32:03Speaker 3: He says YouTube Simons.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Oh, okay, well, I guess with the look.
- 32:07Speaker 3: I did briefly look at his channel, but I couldn't.
- 32:10Speaker 3: I need one video to response to. I don't want
- 32:12Speaker 3: to go through a bunch of them.
- 32:13Speaker 1: And are they short or are they like forty five
- 32:18Speaker 1: minute tirades.
- 32:19Speaker 3: No, they're quite short, but there's loads of them. Somebody
- 32:22Speaker 3: requests something, somebody else like look through his back catalog
- 32:26Speaker 3: in fight because I don't want to have to. Yeah,
- 32:28Speaker 3: it's just fucking depressing, all right.
- 32:31Speaker 2: So but anyway, that is that.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the guy, like I said, Tommy and it
- 32:39Speaker 1: also they're both just they're just doing what men do.
- 32:42Speaker 1: They're trying to show that they're better at protecting the
- 32:45Speaker 1: women than the other men. It's it's the same crap,
- 32:48Speaker 1: different day and different styles, that's it. It's like different.
- 32:51Speaker 1: It's like, you know the writer guy Jack Thorne, he
- 32:54Speaker 1: does you know tai Chi and and Tommy in it
- 32:58Speaker 1: does like you know, hungar or some thing. But they're
- 33:00Speaker 1: both fighting against other men and competing with other men
- 33:03Speaker 1: for the favor of women. They're still engaging in the
- 33:06Speaker 1: same song and dance, even the same one the Andrew
- 33:09Speaker 1: Tate and and the pickup artist guys in the Manisphere
- 33:12Speaker 1: do themselves. They're all playing the same game. They just
- 33:15Speaker 1: have different ways of doing it, and they accuse each
- 33:17Speaker 1: other of you know, the bad intentions on the other side,
- 33:21Speaker 1: like you're not doing it the right way because I'm
- 33:23Speaker 1: doing it.
- 33:23Speaker 2: The right way.
- 33:24Speaker 1: You're all engaged in it. You're all playing the same game.
- 33:28Speaker 1: But anyway, but I at least can respect the Manisphere
- 33:31Speaker 1: guys because they are being direct and they're not being
- 33:34Speaker 1: sneaky fuckers like these guys are where it's like, oh, no,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I care.
- 33:36Speaker 2: About women, I respect them.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Watch Watch how hard I respect this woman until of
- 33:41Speaker 1: course you disagree with them, and then they're gonna probably,
- 33:44Speaker 1: you know, tell you to make them a ham sandwich.
- 33:46Speaker 3: To be fair. A lot of the manus FA will
- 33:48Speaker 3: do that. It's it's so tempting just to fall back
- 33:51Speaker 3: on Oh my god, the women are the victims.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Yeah they are. They're
- 33:56Speaker 1: the biggest victims of feminism according to the Manisphere.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Anyway, let us know what you guys think about this
- 34:01Speaker 1: one in the comments. We're gonna move on to the
- 34:04Speaker 1: next story. It is a weird one. Hannah sent this
- 34:06Speaker 1: one to me, and I thought she was gonna have
- 34:08Speaker 1: a lot to say on it, but unfortunately she's not here,
- 34:10Speaker 1: So this might be a short one, but I will
- 34:13Speaker 1: tell you because this is kind of weird anyway. So
- 34:16Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills, Texas, so not Beverly Hills, California. In
- 34:20Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, Texas, a forty two year old man discovered
- 34:24Speaker 1: that he was unknowingly married when he received a package
- 34:27Speaker 1: from his ex fiance, thirty six year old Kristin Marie Spearman,
- 34:33Speaker 1: containing a photo of her holding a marriage license and
- 34:36Speaker 1: a filed certificate. The couple had obtained a marriage license
- 34:40Speaker 1: together on June second, twenty twenty five, but broke up
- 34:43Speaker 1: shortly after with no wedding ceremony taking place. Spearman allegedly
- 34:48Speaker 1: convinced the pastor to certify the marriage without the man's
- 34:52Speaker 1: presence and filed the certificate with the McLennan County Clerk's office.
- 34:57Speaker 1: After the man reported the incident, police with a sistance
- 35:00Speaker 1: from the Hewitt Police Department, arrested Spearman at her home
- 35:03Speaker 1: near Hewitt on charges of third degree felony stalking. She
- 35:08Speaker 1: was booked into McLennan County Jail with a ten thousand
- 35:11Speaker 1: dollars bond. This bizarre case described by Beverly Hills Police
- 35:14Speaker 1: Chief Corey Martin as unprecedented highlights Spearman's elaborate deception following
- 35:19Speaker 1: this breakup. So she did this after they broke up.
- 35:24Speaker 1: The man's discovery of the fraudulent marriage came days after
- 35:27Speaker 1: their split, prompting an investigation that led to her arrest.
- 35:30Speaker 1: The incident has drawn attention on platforms like x with
- 35:33Speaker 1: users expressing shotgun amusement at the unusual nature of the crime.
- 35:38Speaker 1: So so she was like thirty six, and I think
- 35:42Speaker 1: that she was like when they got broke up, she
- 35:47Speaker 1: probably freaked out, Oh my god, what am I gonna do?
- 35:50Speaker 1: So she just had to pass her marry them and
- 35:53Speaker 1: he didn't even know. But anyway, where are you gonna say, Mike?
- 35:59Speaker 3: I wonder what's going to be talked about this story
- 36:02Speaker 3: in gender studies classes all over the world. I mean
- 36:06Speaker 3: probably it's probably not part of the syllabus. Gender studies
- 36:13Speaker 3: courses aren't really in the business of highlighting any of
- 36:17Speaker 3: the instances in which women force men into legal bindings
- 36:21Speaker 3: without their consent, And if they ever do, they twist
- 36:25Speaker 3: it into a narrative about how women are the victims.
- 36:28Speaker 3: That's been the stance on marriage for as long as
- 36:32Speaker 3: feminism has existed, marriage is a patriarchal, misogynistic, ceremonial institution
- 36:38Speaker 3: in which women are treated like men's property. So I
- 36:42Speaker 3: have to wonder what's going to happen if someone in
- 36:46Speaker 3: one of these gender studies classes puts their hand up
- 36:49Speaker 3: and goes, professor, what do you make of the case
- 36:52Speaker 3: of Kristen Spearman. She went so far as to break
- 36:56Speaker 3: the law somehow to enforce a marriage on a man
- 37:02Speaker 3: without his consent. I don't think men can do that.
- 37:05Speaker 6: We go.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Why would she do that? Why would she force a
- 37:10Speaker 3: man to institutionally oppress her against his will? How does
- 37:17Speaker 3: that even make sense? Professor? And the obvious knee jerk
- 37:22Speaker 3: response is you are hereby expelled. That did not happen,
- 37:26Speaker 3: that would never happen. You are a misogynist. You sound
- 37:30Speaker 3: like some kind of mra in cel, and we do
- 37:32Speaker 3: not tolerate that kind of hate speech. Get out before
- 37:34Speaker 3: we throw you out. That would certainly be the case
- 37:38Speaker 3: if a male student brought this up, or even a
- 37:41Speaker 3: male professor. But what if like a rich, affluent female
- 37:45Speaker 3: student or professor brought it up and she presented the
- 37:50Speaker 3: receipts that proves the story to be true, it would
- 37:56Speaker 3: result in some heads exploding at first, no doubt, but
- 38:00Speaker 3: I would imagine the way they would spin it would
- 38:02Speaker 3: be what she was arrested. She was jailed on a
- 38:06Speaker 3: ten thousand dollar pond for what.
- 38:09Speaker 2: What is the charge?
- 38:11Speaker 3: Enjoying a contract? A succulent Chinese contract. This is an outrage.
- 38:16Speaker 3: A woman should have every right to enter into a
- 38:19Speaker 3: contract with a man without being brutally imprisoned by the state.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I will take this up with my local government representative
- 38:27Speaker 3: as soon as possible, and it'll go the same way
- 38:31Speaker 3: it went with babies. Babies do not belong to themselves.
- 38:36Speaker 3: Babies belong to women. Their lives belong to women up
- 38:40Speaker 3: to an including birth. And in the same way, men
- 38:44Speaker 3: do not belong to themselves. They belong to women, not
- 38:47Speaker 3: just men's bodies, but men's legal status. A woman should
- 38:50Speaker 3: be able to do anything they like to men and children.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Otherwise it's oppression. Yeah, when has it gone too far?
- 39:00Speaker 3: That's what I keep asking, And the answer is never.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Literally never. We will keep going until it's legal for
- 39:07Speaker 3: women to kill men for any reason. This is not
- 39:12Speaker 3: a joke, folks, it is a prediction. Mark my words,
- 39:16Speaker 3: and please don't burn me at the stake. When my
- 39:18Speaker 3: words come to fruition, as they frequently do, I despair,
- 39:24Speaker 3: But I only despair because it's funny when I despair
- 39:28Speaker 3: like this. I'm not sure how that works, but it does.
- 39:35Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well yeah, I mean it's wild like to
- 39:39Speaker 1: find that. I mean, apparently again, you know this is
- 39:42Speaker 1: a kind of well, it's definitely sucking, but I think
- 39:47Speaker 1: this is what happens when you get involved with women
- 39:49Speaker 1: and they're getting older.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Because they get really possessive. So it's it's wild.
- 39:54Speaker 4: Bro.
- 39:55Speaker 1: I got a super child that I forgot to read
- 39:58Speaker 1: from before and a super chat. I go to read
- 40:00Speaker 1: those out, so mereth G top G gave us five
- 40:05Speaker 1: dollars and said age per news number five aweight.
- 40:07Speaker 2: The only people who.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Should be concerned about what children are consuming on social
- 40:11Speaker 1: media are their parents. And I'm going to say this
- 40:14Speaker 1: more laws, less justice. We don't need to ban kids
- 40:18Speaker 1: with social media. We need to We need parents to
- 40:21Speaker 1: actually do their jobs, yes, one hundred percent, and don't
- 40:25Speaker 1: and don't let your kids fall for peer pressure. I mean,
- 40:27Speaker 1: I know I know lots of people who they just
- 40:30Speaker 1: don't let their kids have social media until they're adults,
- 40:34Speaker 1: not even like sixteen, you know, years old, but like eighteen,
- 40:37Speaker 1: when they get out, when they have a job, their
- 40:39Speaker 1: own place. I think that that might be the best
- 40:42Speaker 1: move because there's really no way to police social media itself.
- 40:48Speaker 1: You have to, like you have to you know, parent
- 40:50Speaker 1: your kids, just be parents of your kids. But how
- 40:53Speaker 1: do you do that when so many kids are born
- 40:56Speaker 1: in the homes where their father is not there and
- 40:58Speaker 1: it's just a single mom. You know, even if she's
- 41:02Speaker 1: doing her best, she just can't control that situation. So
- 41:06Speaker 1: they end up making the devices don't just become something
- 41:09Speaker 1: they get access to, it becomes the way to like,
- 41:13Speaker 1: you know, essentially occupy the children. They get the hand
- 41:16Speaker 1: them an iPad and then they call that parenting, and
- 41:19Speaker 1: that's what happens a lot unfortunately. So all right, but
- 41:23Speaker 1: thank you for the super chow, Meredith. And then somebody
- 41:27Speaker 1: in the vertical chat I am looking at the vertical
- 41:30Speaker 1: chat named Guts gave us two pounds. Pretty sure that's
- 41:34Speaker 1: two pounds and said men of Culture shout out from Newcastle.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Thank you Guts, and thanks for acknowledging us. Oh, I
- 41:42Speaker 1: know why you're saying that it's because of the gameplay.
- 41:44Speaker 2: I have on the vertical chat. Yes we are men
- 41:47Speaker 2: of culture though.
- 41:48Speaker 1: So all right, but anyway, thank you for the super
- 41:53Speaker 1: chats and your comments. We're gonna get to the last story,
- 41:58Speaker 1: which kind of like got added on at the last
- 41:59Speaker 1: minute because I was originally gonna only have three stories
- 42:02Speaker 1: and then this kind of broke. So we're gonna talk
- 42:05Speaker 1: about this all right in the write ups. Thank you
- 42:09Speaker 1: to Mike J for doing this right up. I did
- 42:11Speaker 1: the other ones, but he did this one. So a
- 42:13Speaker 1: new ceasfire deal has been put into place, and now
- 42:16Speaker 1: the war at least for now, seems to be over
- 42:19Speaker 1: between Iran and Israel, at least if you believe President
- 42:23Speaker 1: Donald J.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Trump's version of events.
- 42:24Speaker 1: After Trump announced the ceasefire through truth Social he did
- 42:29Speaker 1: the media around, telling NBC, it's a great day for America,
- 42:33Speaker 1: it's a great day for the Middle East. I'm very
- 42:36Speaker 1: happy to have been able to get the job done.
- 42:39Speaker 1: A lot of people who are dying, a lot a
- 42:41Speaker 1: lot of people, and it was only gonna get worse.
- 42:44Speaker 1: It would have brought the whole Middle East down. I
- 42:47Speaker 1: think the ceasefire is unlimited. It's going to go forever.
- 42:50Speaker 1: End quote, but forever wasn't long enough, it seems at
- 42:54Speaker 1: first Iranian government sources flip flopped on whether they would
- 42:57Speaker 1: respect such a ceasefire without addition Israeli terms. Just hours
- 43:02Speaker 1: before the ceasefire was to go into effect, a fresh
- 43:05Speaker 1: round of Iranian missiles were launched at Israel, to which
- 43:08Speaker 1: Israel announced plans to retaliate, with an exasperated President Trump
- 43:12Speaker 1: stating the following on his Truth social platform, Israel, do
- 43:16Speaker 1: not drop those bombs. If you do it, it's a
- 43:19Speaker 1: major violation. Bring your pilots home now.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Donald J.
- 43:23Speaker 1: Trump, President of the United States. He like signs at
- 43:27Speaker 1: the end, and he also posted, Israel is not going
- 43:30Speaker 1: to attack Iran. All planes will be turned around and
- 43:33Speaker 1: head home while doing a friendly plane wave to Iran.
- 43:36Speaker 1: Nobody will be hurt. The ceasefire is in effect. Thank
- 43:40Speaker 1: you for your attention to this matter.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Donald J.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Trump, President of the United States. President Trump later spoke
- 43:46Speaker 1: to the press, stating, these guys gotta calm down. It's ridiculous.
- 43:52Speaker 1: I didn't like plenty of things that I saw yesterday.
- 43:55Speaker 1: I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after
- 43:57Speaker 1: we made the deal, and I didn't like the fact
- 43:59Speaker 1: that the retaliation was very strong, and then this happened.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Earlier today.
- 44:06Speaker 1: I'm totally gonna you know, I'm gonna play the clip yes,
- 44:09Speaker 1: because I'm gonna quote yes because famous this is. This
- 44:13Speaker 1: is the SoundBite of twenty twenty five. I don't think
- 44:16Speaker 1: anything's gonna get better than this. And it's kind of
- 44:20Speaker 1: low at first, so you're not gonna hear it right
- 44:22Speaker 1: off the bat.
- 44:24Speaker 6: See I do.
- 44:26Speaker 7: They violated it, but Israel violated it too. Israel, as
- 44:31Speaker 7: soon as we made the deal, they came out and
- 44:33Speaker 7: they dropped the load of bombs the likes of which
- 44:35Speaker 7: I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
- 44:39Speaker 7: I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when when I say, okay,
- 44:42Speaker 7: now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in
- 44:44Speaker 7: the first hour. It just drop everything you have on them.
- 44:47Speaker 7: So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
- 44:50Speaker 7: Iron either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out
- 44:53Speaker 7: this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that
- 44:56Speaker 7: was shot perhaps by mistake, that didn't land. Happy about that.
- 45:03Speaker 7: You know what we have, We basically have two countries
- 45:06Speaker 7: that have been fighting so long and so hard that
- 45:09Speaker 7: they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Do you
- 45:11Speaker 7: understand that?
- 45:17Speaker 3: All right?
- 45:18Speaker 1: So I obviously very frustrated, and I get it, you know,
- 45:23Speaker 1: trying to work with people. Trump's all about making the deal,
- 45:26Speaker 1: and obviously like, well, you know, Israel is not easy
- 45:31Speaker 1: to work with. But I'm gonna let you say what
- 45:34Speaker 1: you want to say about it, Mike.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh. It's been entertaining to stand on the
- 45:39Speaker 3: sidelines and watch the the the narrative whiplash over this
- 45:44Speaker 3: whole rigmarol. This time last week, it was, oh mg,
- 45:48Speaker 3: we're going to world with around over some dubious claims
- 45:51Speaker 3: about WMDs. Hey we go again. Trump was just another
- 45:55Speaker 3: George Bush, all along, thisavow, this avow I never liked
- 45:59Speaker 3: Trump anyway, and anyone else whoever did, you'd be groveling
- 46:02Speaker 3: at my feet in eternal shame. Apologize to me. Apologize
- 46:06Speaker 3: to me right now, and now a week later, as
- 46:10Speaker 3: if by magic, it's he achieved a cease fire. I
- 46:14Speaker 3: knew it would be all right in the end. Trust
- 46:16Speaker 3: the plan, guys, Just trust the plan. I always trusted
- 46:19Speaker 3: the plan. I was never in doubt. Shame on you
- 46:21Speaker 3: for not trusting the plan. You should be groveling at
- 46:24Speaker 3: my feet for I was always loyal to the cause.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Like I'm glad people aren't just automatically toadying to Trump
- 46:32Speaker 3: no matter what they absolutely shouldn't. But at the same time,
- 46:38Speaker 3: have some goddamn impulse control.
- 46:40Speaker 2: People.
- 46:41Speaker 3: I know you're all scrambling to be the first on
- 46:43Speaker 3: the scene, but you don't have to commit to a
- 46:46Speaker 3: hard line every time. This is This is one of
- 46:50Speaker 3: the handy things about being a commentator that doesn't do
- 46:54Speaker 3: all that much commentating, Like I don't have to jump
- 46:58Speaker 3: on every big story as soon as it ends is
- 47:00Speaker 3: the news cycle and offer an impassioned sermon about it
- 47:04Speaker 3: within twenty four hours. I'm lazy, and people expect me
- 47:08Speaker 3: to be lazy, so I can go ahead and sit
- 47:11Speaker 3: on my hands all week thinking I don't know. I
- 47:16Speaker 3: literally don't know. I don't know if anything we're being
- 47:20Speaker 3: told is even remotely true. So I'm keeping my mouth
- 47:23Speaker 3: shut except for the occasional cagey joke, you know, especially
- 47:29Speaker 3: when it comes to war and the fog of war
- 47:32Speaker 3: that always accompanies war. In fact, the fog of war
- 47:36Speaker 3: invariably appears before the war itself and during it, and
- 47:41Speaker 3: it continues for several lifetimes after it, even if there
- 47:45Speaker 3: isn't even a war. At the moment, it looks like
- 47:50Speaker 3: there isn't a war, not a proper war at He's
- 47:53Speaker 3: not one that's going to involve boots on the ground
- 47:56Speaker 3: and the pointless deaths of American and European soldiers dancing
- 48:00Speaker 3: in the desert, blowing up the sunshine for several decades.
- 48:04Speaker 3: But you never know, I mean, that's exactly what we
- 48:08Speaker 3: would be told so as to shroud us in the
- 48:11Speaker 3: fog of war. On last Thursday's show, I equipped that, yeah, no,
- 48:18Speaker 3: you were never going to get a president that doesn't
- 48:20Speaker 3: suck Israel's dick. But according to Trump's now infamous statements,
- 48:26Speaker 3: it appears even my little quip was not exactly accurate.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Trump appears to be publicly treating Iran and Israel like
- 48:35Speaker 3: misbehaving children, bashing their heads together and going, if you
- 48:39Speaker 3: two don't behave yourselves, I'm turning this car around and
- 48:43Speaker 3: we're going straight back home. That's what they tell me.
- 48:45Speaker 3: That's what they say. But that's just what he's saying.
- 48:49Speaker 3: It doesn't necessarily align with what he's doing behind the scenes,
- 48:54Speaker 3: behind the smoke screens, behind the fog of war. Even
- 48:58Speaker 3: the most honest president than ever would not tell you
- 49:01Speaker 3: the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
- 49:04Speaker 3: when it comes to the war effort, because they're not
- 49:07Speaker 3: supposed to. It's supposed to be top secret. And that's
- 49:13Speaker 3: I think, that's all I can say about it. I
- 49:15Speaker 3: don't know anything for sure, because I'm not supposed to
- 49:18Speaker 3: know anything for sure. And even if I did know
- 49:20Speaker 3: anything for sure, everything can change with the wind at
- 49:24Speaker 3: a moment's notice, and I'm kind of.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Fine with that.
- 49:27Speaker 3: It's it's times like these when I remember the Taoist
- 49:32Speaker 3: parable of the Chinese farmer. Some of you may know it.
- 49:37Speaker 3: Oh my god, Chinese farmer, your horse ran away. This
- 49:41Speaker 3: is awful. Chinese farmer says, maybe, oh my god, Oh
- 49:48Speaker 3: my god, Chinese farmer, the horse came back, and it
- 49:51Speaker 3: brought a bunch of wild horses with it. Now you
- 49:54Speaker 3: have more horses, Chinese farmer, this is awesome. Chinese farmer says. Maybe,
- 50:02Speaker 3: oh my god, Chinese farmer, your son was injured by
- 50:06Speaker 3: one of the wild horses. This is awful. Chinese farmer says, maybe,
- 50:14Speaker 3: oh my god, Chinese farmer. War has broken out and
- 50:18Speaker 3: all of the young men are being conscripted to the war,
- 50:21Speaker 3: but your son has been spared conscription because of his
- 50:25Speaker 3: injury from the wild horse. This is awesome, Chinese farmer says.
- 50:32Speaker 3: Maybe the moral of the story is pretty obvious. You
- 50:38Speaker 3: never know, and just like it's important not to lose
- 50:42Speaker 3: yourself in lament over your misfortunes, it's important not to
- 50:47Speaker 3: lose yourself in elation over your good fortune because you
- 50:51Speaker 3: never know. You never know in general, and you especially
- 50:56Speaker 3: never know when it comes to war. So yep, stays in, brothers.
- 51:03Speaker 3: Don't allow yourself to be flustered all over the shop
- 51:06Speaker 3: like a rag doll. It's not good for your health.
- 51:10Speaker 3: I feel free to repeat my advice back to me
- 51:13Speaker 3: next time I'm getting into a furious, drunken rage over
- 51:16Speaker 3: something that doesn't even affect me. These things are so
- 51:20Speaker 3: easy to forget, all right, thank you for coming to
- 51:25Speaker 3: my ted talk.
- 51:27Speaker 2: Nothing ever happens, that, nothing ever happens. Shut is back.
- 51:32Speaker 2: The only the only thing I'll say about this is
- 51:34Speaker 2: that you.
- 51:35Speaker 1: Know I mean I when I I think that, like
- 51:42Speaker 1: getting out of staying out of a war is a
- 51:44Speaker 1: good thing. Generally, I don't want that. I don't think
- 51:48Speaker 1: Trump he's been against that forever. But he's also been
- 51:50Speaker 1: pretty consistent on saying that Iran should not own or
- 51:55Speaker 1: be able, you know, should not have a nuclear weapon.
- 51:58Speaker 1: He's been saying that for decades. So like when when
- 52:03Speaker 1: I voted for Trump, which I did, and I'm not
- 52:05Speaker 1: ashamed of it, because the alternative was what you think
- 52:08Speaker 1: that would have been better? I voted under the knowledge
- 52:12Speaker 1: that that, you know, there were going to be people
- 52:15Speaker 1: trying to get him to do things in the Middle East,
- 52:17Speaker 1: like it's always been. But that but that's been a
- 52:20Speaker 1: thing that we've had forever, like going back to Clinton,
- 52:25Speaker 1: you know Bill Clinton, right, so that that's never that's
- 52:28Speaker 1: always been a shadow that we have to deal with.
- 52:32Speaker 1: And I think that if you want to like live
- 52:34Speaker 1: in a world where that could completely reverse in one
- 52:37Speaker 1: presidential term, you're not living on planet Earth. You're not
- 52:41Speaker 1: being realistic. So like, if we can stay out of
- 52:44Speaker 1: a war for four years, that would be great. I
- 52:47Speaker 1: think that'd be great. And so like that looks like
- 52:50Speaker 1: that's what his goal is. And I think that the
- 52:54Speaker 1: fact that he is concerned about like how he will
- 52:57Speaker 1: be seen and using that as a motivation, you can
- 53:01Speaker 1: call it narcissism or whatever. I don't think that's what
- 53:03Speaker 1: narcissm is, but that doesn't matter to me. That is fine. Like,
- 53:06Speaker 1: if your ego is what motivates you to do the
- 53:09Speaker 1: right thing, then okay, I guess your ego makes you
- 53:12Speaker 1: do the right thing.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Right, So I'm glad that there's peace now.
- 53:19Speaker 1: Now With regards to the actions of Israel, Trump is
- 53:23Speaker 1: not the president of Israel, he's not the president of Iran,
- 53:27Speaker 1: he's not the king of the Middle East.
- 53:28Speaker 2: He's just a president of the United States.
- 53:30Speaker 1: And if he says don't do this, and they do
- 53:33Speaker 1: something anyway, just like Ukraine when he said don't stop,
- 53:37Speaker 1: you know, stop messing around with Russia Ukraine, and then
- 53:39Speaker 1: Ukraine sent drones to try to assassinate Putin after he
- 53:42Speaker 1: said that.
- 53:43Speaker 2: That's not Trump's fault. That's Ukraine's fault.
- 53:47Speaker 1: So when when Israel dropped bombs after he said, let's
- 53:50Speaker 1: not do that, that's what That's not Trump's fault, that's
- 53:53Speaker 1: Israel's fault. That's how it should be because he's not
- 53:57Speaker 1: the king of the world, and we're not the world police.
- 53:59Speaker 1: That's what I voted for for us not.
- 54:01Speaker 2: To be the world police.
- 54:03Speaker 1: So it doesn't I mean, yes, people are gonna try
- 54:06Speaker 1: to nudge him because the truth is is that a
- 54:09Speaker 1: lot of other countries in the world are depending on
- 54:12Speaker 1: the United States in some way or they have become
- 54:14Speaker 1: accustomed to the US being involved in foreign policy for them,
- 54:19Speaker 1: from the European Union to NATO to the fucking the
- 54:24Speaker 1: E Though I already said the European.
- 54:26Speaker 2: What's the other one?
- 54:26Speaker 1: The United Nations and all and and all these other
- 54:30Speaker 1: and Israel, et cetera. That you just got to navigate that,
- 54:34Speaker 1: you have to walk that line and try to, like,
- 54:37Speaker 1: you know, do what is best without getting entangled. And
- 54:41Speaker 1: isn't it weird that as soon as he gets into
- 54:44Speaker 1: office a bunch of chaos just starts happening. We get
- 54:47Speaker 1: like riots in California, and we get like assassinations, and
- 54:51Speaker 1: there's like rumblings of war in the Middle East. All
- 54:53Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's almost like people don't want us
- 54:56Speaker 1: to get anything done here at home, which is what
- 54:59Speaker 1: we voted for. So I understand it's frustration, but I
- 55:04Speaker 1: think that I think that it's naive to think that
- 55:08Speaker 1: we can just reverse shit that's been in place for
- 55:12Speaker 1: multiple presidencies on both sides of the aisle in one term,
- 55:18Speaker 1: but on the and this is the thing that I
- 55:20Speaker 1: think for me is extremely white pilling the conversation around.
- 55:28Speaker 1: In particular, Israel's involvement in our government is becoming so
- 55:34Speaker 1: ubiquitous and it's beginning so widespread that there is it's
- 55:39Speaker 1: an inevitable conversation that we're going to have to have
- 55:42Speaker 1: and I'm here for that because I've been seeing it
- 55:45Speaker 1: everywhere and I've been aware of it for a long time.
- 55:48Speaker 1: But I don't really like this particular platform is not
- 55:51Speaker 1: the place for it because we're here to talk about men.
- 55:54Speaker 1: But since this is dealing with war, that is where
- 55:57Speaker 1: I think the men's issues comes in, because if we
- 55:59Speaker 1: get into a conflict, it's men's lives are gonna be lost.
- 56:02Speaker 1: And that's But by the way, it's not just American men,
- 56:05Speaker 1: but it's also Middle Eastern men of various types, Israeli men,
- 56:10Speaker 1: those are all men too.
- 56:11Speaker 2: I don't know if you think.
- 56:12Speaker 1: That, But just like with the Rush Ukraine conflict when
- 56:14Speaker 1: I covered it before, guess what Ukrainians are men and
- 56:17Speaker 1: Russians have men. There are men on both sides of that,
- 56:20Speaker 1: and they're the ones that'll be used in these conflicts.
- 56:23Speaker 1: So I think that we have to stay frosty and
- 56:27Speaker 1: stay chill on this, and we have to understand that
- 56:31Speaker 1: this guy is he's flying the he's driving the bus,
- 56:35Speaker 1: and what we want to do is make sure he
- 56:37Speaker 1: gets to the destination with as little damage as possible.
- 56:40Speaker 1: And everybody wants something from him. So I think that
- 56:44Speaker 1: it's good that he said that we'll see what, you know,
- 56:49Speaker 1: what comes out of this later and you know what,
- 56:54Speaker 1: but for now, we have peace, so we should be
- 56:57Speaker 1: I don't know why people are so mad that we're not,
- 57:00Speaker 1: Like I don't know, like that that this is like
- 57:03Speaker 1: not turning into a war, like they were mad that
- 57:05Speaker 1: it was or potentially could have been, but then it didn't,
- 57:07Speaker 1: and they're still mad like they're.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Oh, well, they're up to something.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Something's gonna happen, there's gonna be Yeah, it's coming, it's coming,
- 57:15Speaker 1: you know, And and it's like, calm down, dude, like
- 57:18Speaker 1: let's see if something actually happens and then have an
- 57:21Speaker 1: opinion on it.
- 57:22Speaker 2: How about that? How about that? Is it okay that
- 57:24Speaker 2: we have peace even if it's just for a day
- 57:26Speaker 2: that's there? Can can like is that okay? Like I don't.
- 57:29Speaker 1: I don't get it, Like, what are you four? Or
- 57:32Speaker 1: or do you just want Israel wiped off the map?
- 57:35Speaker 1: Because that's a different conversation. If that's your if that's
- 57:38Speaker 1: what you want, then you can put a comment in
- 57:41Speaker 1: there and then and then explain like your position and
- 57:43Speaker 1: how you know that is actually like somehow gonna be
- 57:45Speaker 1: in service to anything.
- 57:47Speaker 2: So let me know in the comments, do whatever. I
- 57:50Speaker 2: don't give a shit. Uh, let me see if I
- 57:52Speaker 2: got any uh super chats or super child's.
- 57:55Speaker 1: I think that's it. I think we're done. So you know,
- 57:59Speaker 1: you either want peace, you want war. It's gotta you
- 58:01Speaker 1: gotta pick one. I don't know which one it is.
- 58:03Speaker 1: So I'm I'm for peace personally, Let's let's do the
- 58:06Speaker 1: peace thing. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that.
- 58:09Speaker 1: So anyway, any final thoughts, Mike.
- 58:14Speaker 3: There is no peace with Islam. We must destroy it.
- 58:16Speaker 3: I didn't say that. That was a joke.
- 58:19Speaker 2: Oh wait, now we have to choose between Islam.
- 58:23Speaker 3: No. So like in my position, I'm surrounded by people
- 58:31Speaker 3: who want to kill the Jews and other people who
- 58:33Speaker 3: want to kill the Muslims, and I'm like, we all
- 58:35Speaker 3: just get along and kill them both. I tweeted that
- 58:40Speaker 3: once and then I had to delete it when I
- 58:42Speaker 3: came back to the UK because it would have got
- 58:45Speaker 3: me arrested. Yeah, I might be applying for refugee status
- 58:50Speaker 3: when I come to American which will be this time tomorrow.
- 58:53Speaker 1: Oh, Mike has coming to the US tomorrow and yay,
- 58:59Speaker 1: and and so that'll be cool. I think Alison has
- 59:02Speaker 1: plans for a meetup this summer. Hannah also, well, at
- 59:06Speaker 1: least like we'll see how she does after she gets
- 59:08Speaker 1: out of the hospital, but she is hoping for a
- 59:10Speaker 1: meetup as well. And there's this guy in North Carolina
- 59:14Speaker 1: that watches our show. He's not too far from here.
- 59:16Speaker 1: He wants me to have his He wants to give
- 59:19Speaker 1: us his brisket. And I've been wanting to go out
- 59:21Speaker 1: there and get his brisket. And now I have a
- 59:23Speaker 1: car that can.
- 59:24Speaker 2: Make the trip.
- 59:25Speaker 1: So I don't know if you guys know, but I
- 59:26Speaker 1: just got a new well it's a used car, but
- 59:29Speaker 1: it's a new used car. I mentioned this on the
- 59:31Speaker 1: show the other day twenty nineteen. Toyota Corolla, very reliable,
- 59:36Speaker 1: only sixty thousand miles on it.
- 59:37Speaker 2: It's awesome.
- 59:38Speaker 1: And I've named it Israel, which means you have to
- 59:41Speaker 1: give me money when I ask for it. So I'm
- 59:44Speaker 1: gonna need some I'm gonna need help with my car payments.
- 59:46Speaker 1: And if you're if you bless my car, you will
- 59:48Speaker 1: be blessed in return, so you know, consider doing that.
- 59:52Speaker 1: Go to my PayPal as a Beemartinez thirty seven at
- 59:55Speaker 1: hotmail dot com support Israel my car. But anyway, so
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: but yeah, I might be going down there. And another thing,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: somebody in the vertical chat I think it's Heaven. Lay
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Sky asked me if there's gonna be an ICMI this year,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: and I in the ICMI as far as I know,
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: I don't know the details because I'm not arranging it,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: and Paul Elin retired from organizing those things, and I'm
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: not sure if Mike Buchanan is doing it. But last
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: I heard about the ICMI, it was gonna be in
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Australia this year, and.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: That means that it might have been.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: If it's true, then I think one of our Australian
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: MRAs would be organizing it, but I don't know for sure,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: so I have to get back to you on that.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: But Alison is planning on doing a little Mini Badger
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: meetup in Calgary, Alberta in September of this year. So
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: we got we got things coming up and I welcome
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: us opportunity to like hang out in person, so you know,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: that would be cool and then you can like.
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: Maybe maybe is to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: first time we met up in Calgary.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Remember, Oh yeah, it is the it is. It is
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: gonna be the tenth anniversary.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: Of its pasted it by a few months.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: But it's not Bine six sixty six. It's not Bain.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: It might I think it's it might be. I don't
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: want to dox him, but there's a guy named Brian
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: who is an MRI that's been doing a long time
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: in Australia, and I know he was involved with the
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: last time we did it in Australia, so it might
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: be him, because I think somebody else we worked.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: With was she was she was involved with setting it up.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: In Australia and I can't remember her name right now,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: female m RA, older woman, very feisty.

- 1:01:44Speaker 1: do meetups this year. I didn't know Paul retired. Well,

- 1:02:44Speaker 1: of research into funding that the un women has been,
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: where they get their money and what they what they
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: use it for. So that's gonna be really interesting as well.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: He's a researcher that looks into men's issues. And also
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: there's a guy named this is Shah who you probably
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: have seen doing the rounds. I'm gonna be getting him
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: on as well. So we got lots coming up. It's
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: gonna be a big year for us, hopefully, and maybe
