 So it was Ashley Babbitt, the hero. So Ashley Babbitt was the woman who was shot dead by, I think, the secret service agent on January 6, 2021 during the Capitol Hill riots. And if you think she was a hero, it's just all a matter of your perspective. So if you believe in QAnon, then you're very likely to think that she's a hero. If you believe that the 2020 election was stolen, then you're very likely to believe that she was a hero. So if she becomes the martyr for some kind of right-wing revolution that makes America and the world a better place, then she was a hero. So heroism is not usually an objective thing. It's usually highly subjective. So some of the nutters who set off the American Civil War, in retrospect, they may become to be seen as heroes if you think the American Civil War was a good thing because it ended slavery. So we have no idea what will happen. So if the January 6 riots set off some kind of right-wing revolution that ends up improving this country, then the January 6 riots will come to be seen as a good thing. So right now, I think the January 6 riots were a disaster. I don't think she was a hero. I think she was a silly woman who charged a law enforcement officer who had a gun drawn on her. So it's not a good idea to charge law enforcement officers who have a gun drawn on you. So it reminds me a bit of COVID. You may not believe in COVID. You may be tired of COVID restrictions. You may not believe that the world revolves around the sun. You may not believe in the laws of gravity. And you may not believe that a law enforcement officer who's got a gun drawn on you and is giving you instructions, you may not believe that that person needs to be obeyed. But if you disregard reality, you're the one who's going to pay the price. Like, reality just is. Like, we have no idea what's going to happen with COVID. So I notice in many of the comments on my videos, people are very confident that this is the end of COVID. We have no idea. We could very well have a much more lethal strain of COVID sweep the world starting next week. We have no idea if this is the end of COVID. We have no idea if Omicron will provide a substantial protection against future variants of the coronavirus. We just don't know. So reality just is, the coronavirus just is, COVID just is. And whatever our emotions are or whatever our thoughts are, whatever our opinions are, really irrelevant compared to the force of this disease. So we have no idea what's coming next. We may well need more restrictions going forward. The first wave of the Spanish flu was not the most deadly one. It was additional waves down the road. Yeah, Ashley Barber got played by Trump. So she was credulous. She believed in QAnon. Someone who believes in QAnon can believe in absolutely anything. Can believe in a flat earth. Can believe the 2020 elections were stolen. Like if you believe the 2020 elections were stolen, then Ashley Barber is going to be a hero to you. If you believe in QAnon, Ashley Barber is going to be a hero to you. If you believe that Donald Trump is going to save us from satanic pedophiles, then Ashley Barber is going to be a hero. Now, I don't believe any of those things. So to me, she was a silly woman who made a big mistake. And you read a little bit about her, and it appears this wasn't her first mistake. I mean, she made a lot of mistakes. She had a bankruptcy. She had a long criminal record. So this is a good article from the Associated Press. The first time Celeste Norris laid eyes on Ashley Barber. So how did Ashley become Barber? This is the story. Her future insurrectionist had just rammed her vehicle three times with an SUV and was pounding on the window, challenging her to a fight. This is not a normal woman. Ashley Barber was not like a normal law-abiding citizen. So Celeste Norris says the blood between them began in 2017 when Barber engaged in a months-long extramarital affair where Norris's long time live-in boyfriend. When she learned of the relationship, Norris called Barber's husband and told him that she was cheating on him. So Ashley Barber pulls up yelling and screaming, Norris said, about the July 29, 2016 road rage incident in Prince Frederick, Maryland. It took me a good 30 seconds to figure out who she was. Just all sorts of expletives telling me to get out of the car that she was going to beat my ass. All right, this is not a normal healthy woman. So Barber was later charged with numerous misdemeanors. So the attack on Norris is an example of the erratic and often threatening behavior by Ashley Barber, who was shot by a police officer while at the vanguard of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. So she was an Air Force veteran. She died while wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders like a cape. Right? So she was a complicated woman. She became consumed by pro-Trump conspiracy theories. She posted all these angry screeds on social media. And she had this long history of making violent threats. Right? Someone is making a lot of violent threats. That's not a well woman. Normally not a healthy thing to do. So she was 35. She was fatally shot while attempting to climb through a broken window at the U.S. Capitol. And her husband said there's never been a person who actually ran across in her daily life that didn't love her. Well, yeah, that's obviously not true. So she was a woman who made a lot of terrible decisions. And participating in January 6 riot was just one of them. But once you believe the 2020 elections were stolen, then participating in a riot like that makes sense. Because there are no moral restrictions on you once you believe that American democracy is being hijacked. So I think Trump bears some responsibility for the January 6 riots. So on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a nuclear war, and say 5 being 9, 11, like I view the significance of the January 6 riots as about a 1. I view them as much less significant than the Black Lives Matter riots or the Antifa riots. And the thousands of extra dead Americans as a result of the Ferguson effect and Black Lives Matter and Antifa. But on the other hand, I don't think it was nothing. I don't think it was a false flag operation. And I think the people who participated in it used really bad judgment. Now I'm hanging out at Kudji Beach and I was on Bondi Beach on Friday and I left my $70 gimbal behind. Like after I took a swim in Bondi Beach, I realized I was late. So I got out of the ocean, checked my phone. It was 1.40pm and I had a 2pm appointment with a bloke who was about three kilometers away. And so I rushed to take a shower and like I washed the sand off my gimbal and I put it down and I forgot it and left it there. And when I came back about three hours later, it was no longer there. So I left a phone message with the North Bondi Life-Saving Club. See if anyone turned it in. But I'm thinking of getting the $400 DJI Creator combo. So they have all these external audio options. So I guess the airport's reasonably near here. I think it's 20 minutes away so the plane's going over. Oh, so for the first time yesterday, I heard sirens. I've been in Australia for seven weeks. Haven't heard any sirens. Not ambulances, not police. So yesterday, around 3pm, I heard sirens for the first time. So apparently someone fell off the cliffs by the Kudji Beach. So I made a lot of videos walking by the Kudji Beach. And some man in his 20s either fell off the cliffs about 15 meters, about 15 yards, about 40 feet to his death. Someone either fell off the cliffs or jumped off the cliffs. But first time I heard sirens. I heard like three different police sirens and an ambulance siren. And he fell about 40 feet to his death, went into a cardiac arrest and died. So that's the one bit of drama and excitement and sirens going off and police being caught into action that I've seen while I'm in Australia, mate. Okay, so I used to think that Sea of Sailor's comment section was like the smartest comment section around. But now I'm realizing a lot of people who are drawn to dissident politics are also drawn to like dissident science and dissident understandings of history. And all sorts of like wacky views. So Sea of Sailor made a very reasonable blog post about January 6th. Not the biggest deal ever. That was his point. But there are about 140 comments on this blog post. And only one of them made the argument that the January 6th Capitol Hill riots were a bad idea. I used to think Sea of Sailor commenters were, you know, about the smartest people around. But the overwhelmingly didn't think that January 6th was such a big deal, shows me not so smart. She was a fine person. So this is what Sea of Sailor says, wake me when January 6th is over. The commemoration of the mostly peaceful protest of January 6th, 2021, is too important for just one day. We need Congress to declare a January 6th history month or maybe a January 6th history quarter that runs through March every year. Or perhaps channeling January 6th into any part of the calendar is a threat to our democracy. So we should have ongoing, never-ending year-round blanket headline coverage like that of Emmett Till. Who, in case you missed it, is all over the news 67 years after his tragic death. So we need blanket headline coverage of long-ago, head-touching incidents. So one good thing about being in Australia, very little news coverage about Emmett Till, very little news coverage of anything like Emmett Till. So constantly being bombarded with Emmett Till news. So tell me if you can see this clearly. Oh no, you're not going to see it clearly. So yeah, Sea of Sailor is just making fun of all the January 6th hysteria. Right-wing calls to celebrate January 6th anniversary. Just ongoing blanket coverage of January 6th. It's like the worst thing ever. But then, okay, I thought that was a pretty smart Sea of Sailor comment. But then the comment section is crazy. Kyle Rittenhouse needs to go after some broadcast licenses. Sea of Sailor moderates his comment section. Why on earth would he allow a comment like that? An instruction where nobody was armed who said that America couldn't innovate. Well, we often make fun of the argument that an unarmed person was killed by the police. Unarmed people can do a lot of damage. Just because you don't have a gun, don't have a knife doesn't mean you can't do a lot of harm. And then, remember this, when the leftists were chasing the politicians in halls. Yeah, in Wisconsin, exactly. So I would feel the exact same way about Ashley Barber if she was for Black Lives Matter or Antifa or for Trump and QAnon, right? Just you charge a law enforcement officer who's got a gun trained on you and you refuse to obey, then yeah, you shouldn't be surprised that you get shot. It's all part of the plan. It's all part of the plan to cheapen and punish white lives in perpetuity. No, it's an understandable reaction to a Capitol Hill riot. We haven't had a Capitol Hill riot like that before. It was not an insignificant event. The January 6 riots to me were a top 10 2021 event. Not as big a deal. I would say they were about one-tenth, one-twentieth as significant as Black Lives Matter or Antifa riots in the racial reckoning after George Floyd's death. So all three guys who killed that jogger just got life in prison. Yeah, don't take law enforcement's job into your hands. Defund the police and prohibit the citizenry from doing anything to stop crime. Sit in your discomfort and watch sullenly. This is absurd and this is like a hugely praised comment on Steve Saylor's website. January 6th mattered. It was significant. It's not the most significant thing ever. How about it had moderate significance and it's not all part of the plan to prohibit the citizenry from doing anything to defend themselves. You can still legally own a weapon, buy a gun. You can get training in how to appropriately defend yourself. You can join a group, a neighborhood watch. Wake me when Steve says a name. Yeah, like Ashley Babbitt. That's the hero that we need to rally around. That's absurd. People who want to rally around Ashley Babbitt as a hero are low IQ or just delusional. Here's a comment. Person can love the USA of many generations ago just like an elderly man can reveal the memory of a wife decades before. The deceased beloved cannot be brought back. The USA now is a neurotic drug addicted middle-aged tramp who wants to kill the old man for his insurance money. She has nothing in common with the beloved. America is not quite that bad. In some ways we're far better off than the 1950s. In other ways we're far worse off than the 1950s. The United States is improving in some ways, getting worse in some ways. It's not all over. The insurrection is brought to us by the same gang that sold us the steel dossier. Yeah, I think insurrection is a dramatic overstatement. It was a riot. It was performance art. And I would want them prosecuted like any other rioters, like the Black Lives Matter rioters and the Antifa rioters. The insurrection is brought to us by the same gang that sold us on the Scandemic. Okay, the quality of the Steve's comments, Sadler's comments section is either dramatically declined or I've dramatically changed. People who think that the COVID is a scam and a Scandemic are delusional. We're coming up on nearly a million dead Americans due to COVID. Well, you can say F COVID, but COVID is going to do its thing. You may say you don't believe in evolution. You don't believe in gravity. You don't believe the earth is round. You don't believe that the earth rotates around the sun. But that's reality. And you can deny reality, but reality will exact its toll. Halsey English got COVID and beat it in one day. Good for him. Ashley Babbitt died while exercising her First Amendment rights as a U.S. citizen unarmed. She should not be so quickly forgotten. That's not an accurate description about what happened to Ashley Babbitt. She participated in a legal takeover of Capitol Hill and charged law enforcement officer who was issuing her instructions and telling her to stay back. And then, I mean, the quality, the comment section on Steve Saylor's side has gone way down. The FBI can't track down which one of its informants or agents was behind the January 6th false flag up. It wasn't overwhelmingly a left wing or a false flag up. So what's with the, you know, the, I think, here's what I think has happened. People realize that they've been lied to about a lot of things, such as, like, I'm walking around the beach. And obviously, you know, different groups have different gifts. Like, who's more likely to wear a mask? Well, people in Northeast Asia, such as Japan, were wearing masks for influenza, like, long before COVID, right? Why do we have the cliche about Asian drivers being particularly careful drivers? Because generally speaking, Northeast Asians seem to exercise greater care, greater diligence. They seem to be more cautious in their approach to life. And so, obviously, different groups have different propensities to wear masks. Different groups have different propensities to J-Walk. So I'm looking out at a street here going past the Kujibeech. And who's more likely to J-Walk? Men or women? Obviously, men are. Like, men will step out and run across the street and their wife or girlfriend will stay there, you know, until she feels more safe. If Aussies don't feel the government is serving them, can they form a new one? No. But most Aussies do feel like the government is serving them fairly well. So, you know, some groups have much more muscular definition. You know, some groups are much more assertive and aggressive. Like, men can met approximately 10 times as many murders as women. Like, there's just so much, you know, human biodiversity when you're in the city and to think that, you know, all peoples just have exactly the same gifts is absurd. So people realize that they've been lied to, right? And people realize they've been lied to because it's like racial discrimination that accounts for why, you know, different groups have different life results. So they realize that they've been lied to in certain things. They realize they've been lied to that the, you know, constitution is going to protect them. And then people overreact. It's like when you grow up as a kid, you think everything, a normal kid, you think everything that your parents do is the best. So if you just learn, if you're brought up to say brush your teeth two times a day, you know, then you think people who brush their teeth once a day or three times a day are wrong. If you're brought up that it's okay to eat breakfast cereal at breakfast and dinner, but it's not okay to eat breakfast cereal at lunch, then you're going to think people eat breakfast cereal at lunch are just, you know, wrong. So normally we grow up and we think everything our family does is right. Then typically we go after college and we start to think everything our family does is wrong. Right. And so it's like with, with dissidents, they discover all sorts of lies that have been pushed on them by the schools and by the news media and by, by the government and by our elites. And then they assume that everything that the schools and the media and the elites tell them is a lie. And it's like, you can kind of see this evolution with Godward. All right. So, you know, he used to accept what he was taught with some questions and then by about 2015, now he realized he'd been lied to about all sorts of significant matters and he had been, but then, you know, he then kept going and think, wow, if they, they lied to me about, you know, different groups having different gifts, then maybe they're lying to me about a whole bunch of other things. And so people get disillusioned with the lies and they become distant. And then they start automatically assume that elites are always lying, that the media is always lying, the politicians are always lying. And it's just not true. You know, then people become flat earthers and QAnon types and think that, you know, Jews are responsible for every bad thing that happens in the world or that, you know, race explains, you know, almost everything about people. And so it's just like going from one extreme to another. So, yeah, we were lied to. Now, our parents lied to us about some things. Like our best friend, our spouse, lies to us about some things. That doesn't mean you automatically reject your parents or reject your spouse or reject your friends or reject your relays. That everybody lies. We just have to use good judgment, critical thinking and discernment. And so I'd notice all these people thinking, well, realizing that they'd been lied to by the schools and by the media and by the politicians, they'd then just take it way too far. You know, and they become QAnon types or flat earthers or, you know, just reaching for conspiracy theories to try to explain the world around them. How do we even know what the unelected staff infection is doing us the chat? So I made notes. You're lucky this live stream is going to be so rich. It's going to be so packed with comments. So what do you think? Is it the Steve Saylor's comment section has changed or I've changed? I think that's probably 50-50. I think I've changed. I've become more skeptical of dissidents. And I think people who have become dissidents, then, like most people, take things too far. And they start dissenting on things where they have no rational empirical basis for dissenting. So you may be tired of COVID. We have no idea if this is the end of COVID. We have no idea if Omicron will provide us with significant protection going forward with the coronavirus. So just because you're tired of coronavirus restrictions or coronavirus news does not mean that they are unnecessary or that they are wrong. So your COVID fatigue does not mean that COVID is over or that we just have to, quote-unquote, live with it without taking any additional measures. So it's like saying, Russia invaded our country or China invaded our country. Now we just have to live with it. Germany invaded our country. Now we just have to live with it. Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. This is the age of Aquarius, bro. Big cosmic stuff is happening. All right? The deadliest wave of COVID might start next week. Viruses don't only mutate to become less lethal. They can mutate to become more lethal. Eventually, eventually, but we don't know when coronavirus will mutate to be less lethal. So reality is COVID is. It's not changed by your feelings. So you might feel that you're over the demands of your boss or you're over the demands of public health officials with regard to COVID or you're over your spouse's demands or your rabbi's demands. Well, if you want to maintain relations and have a healthy, happy, good life, you need to take into consideration the wishes of other people, particularly those who have power over you. All right? Your relationship with your boss is the most important relationship you have at work. You may get along better with 50 other people at work, but it's your relationship with your boss. It's the most important relationship at work. And so if your boss says something and gives you directions, you can't ignore it, but I probably won't get it well for you. Oh, I heard a good comment from in a 12-step meeting by a woman. I had to quit Facebook. I'm not a normal Facebook user. It was like a vape pen. I was going on there every 15 minutes. So this is like adrenaline addiction. And I've got, I suffer from this, adrenaline addiction, love, excitement, chasing adrenaline, and adrenaline highs are really dangerous for addicts. So you may not be a normal coffee user. You may not be a normal YouTube user. You may not be a normal chocolate user. You may not be a normal porn user. You may not be a normal credit card user. Some people can't handle Facebook. Some people can't handle YouTube. Some people can't read a book without it driving them crazy. So we have to recognize when we can't use something normally. For example, my father would say, would never eat chocolate because for him, it was easier to abstain than to be moderate. So I've been staying in an apartment building for the last few days. And occasionally, there's loud talk outside. But you never hear people yelling, shut up. That kind of confrontational talk that you hear routinely in Los Angeles and other big cities. Shut up. You don't hear that so much. I don't think I've seen an angry person since I've been here. Oh, everybody waits in line here. So I think in some ways, Australia's more egalitarian than America. So Australia's cricket captain, Alan Borda, he'd wait in line for a taxi. So everybody waits in line, usually patiently. Everybody queues up just like the English here. Oh, and another example of Australia's egalitarianism is that you call the Prime Minister by his first name or a nickname. So if you're meeting Prime Minister Bob Hawke, it'd be like, g'day, Bob. Or Scott Morrison at Scomo, right? So you would not call the American president by his first name. So Americans have, I think, more respect for the presidency and for politicians and for people in power. And Australians are more cheeky, more disrespectful, more egalitarian. You call the Prime Minister by his first name. Even Australia's cricket captain has to wait in line. Doesn't get special privileges. Oh, so I'm watching a sports doco on KO Sports. KO Sports is great. It's got a million subscribers here in Australia. Basically, all your live sports and sport documentary needs like the ESPN 30 for 30. They're all on KO Sports. And it's like only $26 a month and all your live sports streaming needs are met. So I was watching KO Sports, a cricket documentary. And it had this tagline on its cricket documentary, End Violence Against Women. Why not End Violence Against Men? Why not End Violence Against Jews? Why not End Violence Against Muslims? End Violence Against Children. Why on earth would you have a tagline End Violence Against Women in a cricket documentary? This Black Lives Matter stuff, End Violence Against Women, it just rubs me the wrong way. Like there's special pleading. It just goes against my Anglo heritage. So Kenneth Brown is doing this series, Liars on the Right, and it's really bad. Like the ones on Edward Dutton and Richard Spencer, he does nothing to establish his case that these people are liars. So Richard Spencer is definitely a flawed human being, but he's not a big liar. He's about as honest and transparent as you could expect a public figure to be. So Kenneth Brown is becoming really good at doing provocative titles for his streams, but the content frequently just does not live up to it. So his series, Liars on the Right, particularly the two episodes I caught on Edward Dutton and Richard Spencer were really weak. Yeah, he does do an excellent Richard Spencer impression. He does a lot of good impressions. He is very smart and he sometimes has really sharp things to say. But there's just so much nonsense that it's often too tiring to try to sort through the nonsense. Oh, so if I disagree strenuously with someone, I don't necessarily bring it up with my friends. Like a lot of people I know are anti-vaccine or anti-the COVID vaccine. I just don't bring it up with them. So I'm surprised by how many people I know are anti-the COVID vaccine, but I just don't bring it up. So I believe in the traditional conception of marriage is between one man and one woman. But if I've got an acquaintance who thinks differently, I just don't bring it up. So I think adultery is a bad idea, but if I've got a friend who's an adulterer, I don't bring it up. So I notice that on the one hand, there are people who think that if they believe something strongly, they've always got to bring it up with a friend who disagrees or acts differently. And I think that's a mistake. If you've got friends, you should just drop topics that are not a useful basis for conversation. And then on the other hand, people are afraid to stand up for anything because they don't want to alienate their friends. And so they keep quiet about what they believe. So you don't have to bring it up to the people that you disagree with, but how about in middle ground? Like I want to get along with my friends. So I generally speaking don't bang on about topics that we can't have a pleasant conversation about. On the other hand, I don't abstain from saying what I think on YouTube or on my blog. Now, I still believe in the traditional conception of marriage. I still believe in COVID vaccines. But if I've got a friend who thinks differently, like Elliot Blatt, right? Elliot Blatt and I, we disagree about all sorts of things. And we have private conversations. We have public conversations. I don't bang on about the topics where we passionately disagree because there's just, there's no point. I don't send him links. It's like, oh Elliot, you need to see this link which shows that you're wrong about XYZ. No, I do that with virtually nobody. It's just, yeah, it's just not good etiquette. So, welcome to Beautiful Kujie. I'm going for a swim, mate.
