Tim Inlow and Alex Jones react to Joe Biden's claim that the Second Amendment is not absolute. Inlow presents data comparing mass shootings where an armed citizen was present versus those where victims waited for police. He cites the Pulse nightclub shooting as an example of high carnage in the absence of an immediate armed response, contrasting it with incidents where "good guys with guns" limited casualties to single digits.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan unveiled a new pride flag featuring additional colors for various identity groups. Disney is also launching an LGBT clothing line for children, despite a decline in its favorability ratings. The segment also revisits the Florida case where a man was ordered to write LGBT fiction, calling it a form of "ideological subservience."

Watson discusses a protester interrupting Pope Francis to declare that "masks are not of the church of God." He also covers French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour's proposal to give rural families 10,000 euros per baby to boost native birth rates. The segment concludes with a critique of actress Thandiwe Newton apologizing for her "light skin" and a London nightclub charging white men six times more for entry than other groups.

Businesses in Wales are demanding an end to vaccine passports after a Freedom of Information request revealed the government has no data proving the scheme stops COVID-19 transmission. Publicans express anger over the "unjustified" restrictions that have devastated the hospitality industry for two months.

Nightclubs in Scotland are using a legal loophole by placing chairs on dance floors to reclassify as pubs and avoid vaccine passport mandates. Meanwhile, Wales has introduced vaccine passports for cinemas, a move predicted to cause significant economic damage to the local film industry.

Scottish venues and football clubs like Aberdeen FC are rebelling against a vaccine passport scheme that suffered a "farcical" launch plagued by technical failures. Watson notes that the mandate is about mass compliance rather than public health, as vaccinated individuals can still transmit the virus. Similar resistance is noted in France and Israel, while some businesses in Ireland are reportedly enforcing strict exclusion policies.

Vaccine passports are being unrolled in the UK for nightclubs and theaters, a move that has already sparked mass protests in France and the Netherlands. Because one-third of adults under 40 in the UK remain unvaccinated, the hospitality industry faces a potential collapse due to the loss of a significant customer base. The host notes that businesses in Paris are reportedly refusing to enforce these "medical paper" checks.

Kate Nicholls of Hospitality UK reports that ticket sales for events are "flatlining" as the public rebels against the vaccine passport system. Approximately 20% of the population in France and the UK are expected to boycott venues requiring health status checks. This loss of revenue is described as a "nail in the coffin" for many businesses already struggling from previous lockdowns.

The UK government's push for vaccine passports is criticized as illogical because vaccinated individuals can still spread the virus. Minister Michael Gove is accused of reversing his previous stance that such passports were discriminatory. Critics point out that the policy allows a COVID-positive vaccinated person into a venue while barring a healthy unvaccinated person.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announces that by the end of September 2021, full vaccination will be a mandatory condition for entry into nightclubs and other crowded venues in the UK. The announcement coincides with "Freedom Day," the lifting of most domestic COVID-19 restrictions. Protests erupt across the country in response to the mandate, with reports of police clashes and the removal of negative test results as a valid entry option.

The segment covers the UK government's plan to require vaccine passports for nightclubs and football matches. Several nightclub owners and industry representatives vow to resist the mandate, calling it "shambolic" and unenforceable. The host also notes the widening wealth gap during the pandemic, contrasting the closure of 10,000 licensed premises with the massive wealth gains of billionaires like Jeff Bezos.
