filmmakers. a disabled person

microaggression.7 >> yeah, it's complimenting a disabled person. microaggression. so an nhs trust has said that telling a disabled person they are inspiring is a microaggression. warning doctors against using stereotypes. the gloucestershire hospitals nhs foundation trust. inclusive language guide also advises avoiding traditional titles like mr and mrs, and discourages phrases like the blind leading the blind, which is a shame because it's pretty apt for this document. melody, what do you think about this? >> i think they should be grateful for any compliment. >> okay. wow. that's that's a that's a pretty strong take that. now, are you talking about disabled people or just humans disabled people orjust humans in general? >> disabled. >> disabled. >> wow. this is very. >> wow. this is very. >> he gave you a get out and you didn't take it. well, you really. >> this is. i'm just hearing in my ear. get away from her quickly, melania. of course you have braces. >> coming off tomorrow.

>> coming off tomorrow. >> you are mentally disabled. yes, about the. >> to be fair, men want any compliment. men have never had any compliments. right? so if i was called inspiring, as i often am, i would love it and do love it when it happens every day. but isn't that true? we never get any compliments. >> yeah. yes, well, i'm a gay icon, so i do get a lot of gay. oh. that's true. i get a lot of compliments. what do you think about this? is it a microaggression to say how inspiring somebody is? >> it is. but what's wrong with a few microaggressions here and there? you know, like, it's annoying, it's annoying and it's patronising, but we deal with that all the time, and you have to suck it up, you know? i mean, how many times will somebody say to you, especially as a woman, you're so brave, you're so brave. i want to kill them. but it's not illegal yet, so i have to just. we have. >> to kill them. >> to kill them. >> illegal. okay. >> illegal. okay. >> just to clarify. >> just to clarify. >> i mean, you're a christian, nick, so. jesus, i imagined he was being very complimentary to lepers. he was like, oh, well done. well done with your leper

business. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think they were like, don't, don't you dare call me that. i'm, you. >> know, i don't think he. did he call him inspiring? i'm not sure he did. he just he just got the job done and moved on, probably to another miracle. but i think it is like aidan said, it's a little bit patronising. but what? they're also in the same guy, they want to get rid of mr and mrs. and all this. so it is another woke nonsense. guide toby young was saying they don't haven't they got the memo that we've moved on but we haven't moved on. as one youtuber said we are still in woke north korea in britain, don't you think? we're just sort of where where the last holdouts where like the japanese soldiers still fighting, it's ended in america, but we're still producing these nonsense guides. >> well, it's an interesting point in that the argument maybe has been won at some level, but these institutions are still heavily captured. and this.

these institutions are still heavily iquitead. and this. these institutions are still heavily iquite hard nd this. these institutions are still heavily iquite hard to this. these institutions are still heavily iquite hard to respect respect. quite hard to respect someone who thinks they're a llama. i hate to sound old fashioned, am i not you guys looking at me blankly? is that not right? are you guys on board with this llama thing? it's a bit mental. >> well, it's more than the llama aideen. you've got a health minister. someone who is actually advocating to make us all healthier, yet pushing what i would say is obviously extreme mental health. i think that we should. >> be alarmed by this. alarmed i was inspired. yeah. it's i mean, iused was inspired. yeah. it's i mean, i used to identify as a cat. i'm sure a around, which is

now, hanging around, which is wokeness. >> it's interesting that you almost have two holy systems in play almost have two holy systems in play here. you have the church and you have the lgbtq+ ideology as well. and which one? actually, they both take faith. >> well, i yeah, i suppose they are both things that may not exist, but i think it's nice. why not have it the odd time? the church is inclusive and you know, if you don't agree with it, just say a prayer for patience and tolerance is the key. i mean, jesus, he hung around with people that were not acceptable in his time. tax collectors. i suppose you could call them sex workers, you know. >> so do you really believe or are you just sort of playing the woke role? >> no, i do, i wouldn't say if was. >> in the woke role. >> in the woke role. >> if i was, if i was going to a church and was there every week and altar all and was there on the altar all the time, i wouldn't like it. but why not for pride week or every so often have it to show inclusivity? i do think so. as a as a catholic, i think so catholic. >> you want that in the church?

it's insane. >> yeah, we won't be able to hear you, but i'll repeat what you just said. >> can i just make the point that the black line on that flag is an anti—israel statement? >> okay? >> okay? >> and jesus might have an issue with that. >> so this is. thank you. yes. the black line is an anti—israel. i thought i knew quite a lot about this stuff, but i didn't know that that particular thing. all right. i'll have a little google. >> that's one thing you've missed. that's one line. >> you've missed one line. okay. thank you very much. okay. well we're going to go to break now next on free speech nation. baroness fox me here in the studio as j.d. vance sounds the studio as j.d. vance sounds the alarm

the studio as j.d. vance sounds the ala doing their usual, oh, sort of doing their usual, oh, it's all dog whistle and it's all right wing. of course, he traditionally came from the left himself. donald trump used to be

a democrat. and that's the point, isn't it, that the left or the far left has moved so far in one direction. of course, free speech is traditionally a left wing values. it's something that left wingers fought for. >> that's my tradition. and the truth of the matter is, is it's a kind of new form of identitarian left that i most objecting to. i mean, i still consider myself to be on the left, but the thing about jd vance is he's a kind of ohio working class lad who's made good, and
