hello everybody I'm trying this as an experiment in communication both public and private um there's some things that I would like to draw to Mr Elon musk's attention I interviewed him a while back on my podcast that was primarily released on X but also more broadly we've met a couple of times um I've been watching what he's been doing like every in the world has been uh and I'm also interested in his reaction to the situation with Tommy Robinson I interviewed Tommy last year twice with my wife and uh I've been following his travails in
the UK diligently I just spoke with Ezra Levant who runs Rebel news this troublemaking Rabel rousing media organization alter of media organization in Canada um Ezra and I have interacted with each other for about 10 years he was an early advocate of mine when all hell broke loose around me at the University and we've kept in touch ever since in any case Ezra Levant also hired Tommy Robinson as a journalist a few years ago and knows him quite well brought him to Canada relatively recently uh where he was arrested at exactly the time that I
was supposed to interview him so that was another interesting overlap anyways when I talked to Ezra Levant we discussed Tommy and he's in solitary confinement in a Maximum Security Prison in the UK and he's not allowed any visitors who have a social media following whatever that means given that virtually everybody has at least some social media following now and this essentially means that he'll spend nine months in solitary for what's a civil offense and it's been four and that's a long time and his guest slots aren't filled partly because of these restrictions I asked Ezra
too if Tommy was in solitary at his own request because the prison is a dangerous place because it's a Maximum Security Prison and it's full of the sort of people who might not approve of Tommy Robinson let's put it that way and Ezra told me that Tommy hadn't requested to be isolated in this manner that he was willing to take his chances in the general population so um that's what I know about that in any case he's got five more months in solitary 22 hours a day when I interviewed him he'd expressed some real concerns
about his ability to maintain his psychological integrity under such conditions you know we use solitary confinement as a punishment sufficiently brutal to deter even Psychopaths who are about as non-social as you can possibly imagine and so depriving people of social contact is I think it's cruel and unusual punishment and is something that perhaps should never be used but if it's used should be used let's say very judiciously and I think that he's been subjected to being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment and if that produces fatal consequences which is a possibility that doesn't bode well
for the general stability of the UK you might say um and it's not a risk that should be taken and so I want to draw everyone's attention to the plight of Tommy Robinson regardless of what you think of him and what he's done say as a whistleblower on the gang side um his punishment is exceptionally heavy-handed and it isn't at all obvious to me that it's wise it's also not obvious to me that he'll make it through nine months of this intact and Ezra was concerned for the same reasons so that's that so there's a
second issue that I'd like to draw your attention to Mr musk but but also public attention to I've been watching your line byline analysis of budgetary expenditures at the federal level and I know or I think I know that part of this process part of the reason you're engaged in this is because you're not happy you might say with what Gad sad has described as the woke mind virus and you've tweeted Gad a fair bit and I know you're familiar with his work now I also know or think I know that part of the reason
that you're unhappy is because of what happened with your son which you discussed on my podcast and made public and I noticed during that conversation that to say you were unhappy about what had happened and the advice you got about suicide risk for example on the part of children with gender dysphoria was false despicably false and dangerous and that you not only haven't recovered from that but have taken it with all due seriousness and so it seems to me that your efforts on behalf of investigating the funding that is being shuttled to various agencies and
organizations around the world who to push the woke Progressive agenda are admirable and useful and hopefully they will be salutary but I think there's something very important that you're missing uh maybe crucially important you may know or may not something I discovered partly from talking to the Republican Governor's treasury Association um but also from going to the Republican Governor meetings and talking to a variety of Republican Governors 50% of the state budgets in the US are devoted to K through2 education all the teachers in the K through2 education system are products of the faculties of
Education which I think are among the most if not the most ideologically corrupt and incompetent of all the university disciplines they're major contributors to the dominance of woke culture in the US particularly in the US but also across the West they attract lowquality students by and large and they do terrible research one example of that for example was that the faculties of educ tion it was faculties of Education who came up with the idea of whole word learning which was a complete bloody catastrophe foregoing the utility of the phonetic alphabet which is one of the
like major inventions of humankind replacing that with the proposition that you should teach children how to read the same way expert readers read which was a Preposterous Theory to begin with and which had devastating consequences and the faculties of Education pushed multiple intelligence theory which is a complete Croc of nonsense they pushed self-esteem training which can't be done and produces narcissists they cloak their left-wing ideological propagandizing in social economic social emotional learning strategies etc etc the faculties of Education are an unmitigated disaster they produce the teachers who have hammerlock at on 50% of the state
budgets they're spending $25,000 a year thereabouts per student when private organizations are capable of providing a higher quality education at onet that cost the Republicans conservatives and general and classic liberals have been completely asleep at the wheel for 60 years as the faculties of Education have distributed the demoralizing progressive agenda to the children of everyone liberal conservative and Progressive alike through the K through2 system and they control 50% of the state budgets there's not a chance that the progressive agenda is going to be undermined and replaced as long as the faculties of Education have a
hammerlock on half the state budgets and all the education of all children so what's the best move well there may be little you can do federally I don't know the policy details well enough to opine in that regard but in my opinion the faculties of Education should be stripped of their Monopoly on teacher certification there's no evidence whatsoever that they've produced that the teachers that they purport to educate have been educated in a manner that makes them effective teachers either because of the way they were selected as students or the way that they're trained and
educated as teachers and so there's no defeating the woke virus without breaking the hammerlock of the faculties of education on teacher certification and so anyways those are two issues that I've been considering since we had our discussion and I know that you're as busy as any human being can possibly be but I know that these two issues are close to your heart and I thought I'd throw my two cents in for what it's worth and well doing inform everybody else about my thoughts on the matter and the way forward that uh I think might be
most appropriate thanks very much for your time and attention I've come out to Wood Hill prison to see Tommy Robinson today I was told that I could visit him at 2:30 this afternoon but the prison authorities have decided that they're not ready for me to go inside I've been following him for three years as he follows the gang rapists because I was concerned for the British young women who were being raped and more recently as a journalist he covered a school playground scuffle that had become an International scandal after that he made a documentary trying
to understand what happened in that scenario that school is now closed and everyone has departed from their jobs there was so much corruption and payoff and secrecy that this documentary was not supposed to be shown but Tommy Robinson felt compelled to show it to tell the truth now he has been charged with contempt of court and he made himself available to the courts to charge him and to put him in jail they have him held in solitary confinement here he's hesitant to eat from the cafeteria because there's a large Muslim population here and he feels
that he may be poisoned and now he's getting very thin some Danish journalists came here and visited him and saw that he's lost lost a lot of weight so he's only eating can tuna which he can't survive on for months there's not enough fat in that food to nourish his brain and his heart and so I suggest to people if they come in they can bring him something like pepperoni sticks or a kind of carnivore snack that is packaged that has proper animal fat to nourish and sustain him it's going to be on our conscience
if he dies in there it should be on our conscience now he's in here for 9 months he's been in here for four months so far for a simple Civic charge and they've put him in maximum security it's not right
