Time Text
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Thursday, the 10th of December 2020.
I'm joined by Callum, and we're going to be talking about how we're not allowed to talk about things.
Things that are happening in the Supreme Court in the United States, and possibly disease-related things that the media are allowed to talk about, but we're not.
And we'll get into it shortly.
But first, we're going to talk about massive, rampant hypocrisy, aren't we, Callum?
Yes, particularly these media hypocrites.
And has anyone got their comeuppance on this?
Yes, there are two wonderful members of the COVID Gestapo who have fell on their own sword, which is just fantastic.
So this is from Guido Fawkes.
So this is a tabloid website, mostly just gossip around Westminster.
Yes.
And this is about two presenters specifically, Kay and Beth.
So these are two presenters who have endlessly gone over the government, endlessly gone over Dominic Cummings for his crimes against humanity, for daring to breach COVID rules.
And it's been absolutely insufferable.
Just before we go on, Kay Burley has been a preacher on these things.
And she's also someone who preaches the intersectional gospel on a daily basis as well, when given the opportunity.
So she is a radical leftist.
She has been, as you say, grilling people like Dominic Cummings and the Conservative government over this.
Her efforts are obviously, her tensions are obviously partisan, despite the fact that it's not just been Conservatives that have broken lockdown rules.
To be fair, everyone at Sky News is exactly like that.
They're in lockstep with political correctness, in lockstep with feminism, with everything.
They're all insufferable.
It's not just Kay Burley.
We don't want to give you that impression.
She's just the main host.
Yes, yes.
Anyway, so they've been going after people for a while, and then it came out on Guido that, in fact, she had broken the lockdown rules.
If you can go back and just scroll down a little bit.
The story is that she decided she would celebrate her 60th birthday.
Fine by me.
But she's in tier two restrictions.
So in the UK, tier two means that if you want to go out to a restaurant, you have to go with only people from your household or support bubbles.
So that would be, you know, your parents or something like that.
She didn't do this.
They report that she went out and had a table of six and a table of four.
And they were all people from Sky News, different hosts, you know, sort of people who would know each other.
There was one guy whose trip is kind of funny, we'll get into it in a minute.
So they did that, and then they went to another restaurant that was after hours because they knew the owner, and then they got bored of that, and then went off to another party, and then went home afterwards.
So not only are they breaking lockdown restrictions, they're also being corrupt and using personal strings to pull those strings to get into restaurants where they possibly shouldn't be anyway.
Yes.
Oof.
Like, the restaurant has to shut at, what is it, 11pm?
10pm, I believe.
10pm now.
Okay.
I might be wrong.
It might be 11.
But yeah, you have to go home.
They can't serve you anymore.
So that's embarrassing.
And if you can get the next one up, the image.
So, because of all the spite Beth and Kay have been giving politicians for breaking COVID rules, Gita decided to put this together, which is just a compilation of them shouting at each other in the way they shout.
If we can play it, it's worth it.
Beth Rigby, you can see on the right, and Kay Burley on the left, both have been insufferable, but I very, very clearly remember Beth Rigby.
I mean, the expression on her face just there...
Disgusted with Dominic Cummings.
Exactly, yes.
This is when she's in the garden grilling Dominic Cummings and he's looking sufficiently humble and chaste.
But yeah, go for it.
Yeah, Kay.
Yeah, Kay.
laughs laughs Yeah, okay.
Oof!
So yeah, you couldn't happen to a better bunch of morons.
You get what you deserve.
If you want to get just a taste of what these people are like, just so we were talking about the fact that they're lockstep with everything that's globalist.
So this is recently from Beth Rigby writing about what Boris Johnson must do because, I don't know, Sky News have power over him.
So surely she endorses everything that is being said here.
What, you mean about COVID? Well, everything she's going to be recommended that Boris must do.
Oh yeah, this is an opinion piece from her.
Yeah, from her.
So she would do the same thing, given the opportunity.
No, but her recommendation to Boris in this, I don't know if you can find the quote, but I've got it here, saying the MPs should now be prepared to finish what they started and depose of Mr.
Johnson should he refuse to sanction a Brexit extension.
Who now does she think she is?
Right.
I don't understand, but the gall on the woman to be like, I'm some opinion journalist, therefore you guys should get rid of the Prime Minister and extend Brexit.
Still not over the referendum.
Even the Lib Dems are over the referendum, but apparently Star News is just not.
And as for Kay Burley, I'm trying to get to the point here that these people think they're gods.
Like, they think they're better than everyone else.
So this is Kay Burley.
So she tried to get the Conservative chairman to come on her show, and he didn't.
He just wasn't booked.
And then she got all uppity about this and decided to stage, like, oh, here's a blank chair.
Oh, look, he's not come.
And it's like, he wasn't booked.
What's wrong with you?
He doesn't owe you something.
Like, they're trying to embarrass them into coming on.
on but yeah let's play it because it's it's it's just really funny you
how embarrassing is this right because And you are right, it speaks to an arrogance that they think that they are the sort of oracle, the voice of God, the Metatron of whatever it is that they think they represent, and that they are speaking down.
And they've done this before, and I've complained about this before.
How is it that on their whim...
Sky New can just whip up like Matt Hancock or Boris or whoever it is, you know, some high-ranking conservative politician.
Just, oh, oh, and then for Kay Burley to, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, at you constantly.
It's like, look, you don't have to go on that.
It's not mandatory, unless, of course, you're Kay Burley, in which case you think it is.
There were absolutely terrible interviews as well.
We watched the one, Sebastian Gorka went on there for the election night, and it was just embarrassing.
He demolished her.
Clearly handed some notes the minute before the interview, and then she was trying to embarrass him by being like, oh look, lots of conservatives think that Donald Trump should stand up.
Prominent.
Prominent conservatives.
And she was like, yeah, this Anthony Scuramucci.
Just like, Jesus.
He was prominent for like a month.
Yeah.
About three years ago.
Just absolutely.
You don't know anything about the elections, do you, Kay?
You don't know anything about American politics, do you, Kay?
You've got a bunch of notes that have been handed to you by an intern that also doesn't know anything about American politics.
You're like, yeah, prominent conservatives like Anthony Scaramucci, you're an embarrassment.
But that's the thing.
They're no good at their jobs even on a good day.
So I don't know why people go on with these interviews.
No, I don't know either.
And politicians have got to remember, you're the ones who decide what media becomes prominent because people want to hear from you.
They voted for you, not Sky News.
If you go on Sky News or you go wherever it is, then you make that place.
So, you know, contact at loadseaters.com for bookings.
We'll make a slot.
Anyway, Kate Burley has...
We won't empty chair you either.
No, we won't fake book you.
So she has a defence for her actions, and she posted this on Twitter, which was an apology for an error in judgement.
Can I read this out?
Yeah, if you want to.
Evening, everyone.
I want to apologise to you all for an error of judgement.
On Saturday night, I was enjoying my 60th birthday at a COVID-compliant restaurant.
I am embarrassed to say that later in the evening, I inadvertently broke the rules.
So we can scroll down to the next tweet.
It's just one blow.
I had been waiting for a taxi at 11pm to get home.
Desperate for the loo, I briefly popped into another restaurant to spend a penny.
I can only apologise.
Sorry, my incontinence got the better of me and required me to break lockdown rules.
Kay Burley, 60 years old.
But that's the thing, it's not even addressing the allegations here.
The allegations of the initial dinner she went to would be a breach, because that's not how that works here.
And then the second one she went into was after hours, which is her saying she went into a restaurant for the loo, which you can't have.
It was out of hours.
Yeah, how did that happen?
That's another breach.
And then you went home and had a party with everyone, which is another breach.
So, just no defence.
I mean, the defence is, I had to go to the bathroom.
Well, I mean, I'm persuaded by Kay Burley, just like her simps are on Twitter.
Well, yeah, so I didn't think they would be this blatant, but they are.
So there's a journalist in here, I think she's ITV, some simp for Kay Burley here, saying, oh yes, you've broken the rules all right by looking insanely young for 60.
There should be an immediate restriction slash punitive measures for this.
Kiss kiss.
And then Kay Burley replying kiss kiss.
Which...
That's just an admission that they don't think they've done anything wrong or they don't care.
They absolutely do not, do they?
No.
Which, you know, let's be clear about this.
I don't care that you went out and had...
I opposed lockdowns altogether.
Yeah, I couldn't give less of a feel.
Damn, yeah.
I try not to swear.
So that's not the problem here.
The problem is obviously just the massive hypocrisy of I'm going to berate you endlessly and you're going to...
Why should anyone follow the rules if you're not going to follow them yourself?
Says the rule breaker who's not following them herself.
Yeah, so just embarrassing.
Yes.
Anyway, so the response to this has been...
Well, they haven't resigned, so they're not taking responsibility.
So Sky News decided they would act because they're thinking, this looks bad.
I mean, it looks terrible.
It is really bad.
Yeah, I mean, they're the arbiters of bashing on people.
I mean, if I was sat there going every day, feminism is bad, feminism is bad, feminism is bad, and then I was like, actually, maybe feminism is good.
Maybe I'll go to feminist, you know, maybe I gave a speech about, a pro-feminist speech at a feminist conference, I could totally see people going, there's something a bit weird here, what's going on?
And obviously it would be some kind of long game that I'd be playing, but that's beside the point.
But this is not some long game that Kate Burley is playing.
You're giving secret lectures that we don't know about yet.
No, but if given the opportunity, I certainly would infiltrate feminist circles to do so.
But yeah, this is not some long game that Kate Burley is playing.
Actually, I'm a libertarian who's anti-lockdown, you know, and I want to show everyone the hypocrisy.
No one's sticking to these lockdowns.
Yeah, no one's buying that.
That's what's going on.
So Sky News acted and they kicked off Kay Burley and they had some rando, I don't care who it is, cover her stuff for a while.
Right, yeah.
Okay, and then the next one is the same thing happening to Beth.
So Kay Burley was kicked off, you said?
Yeah, they replaced her.
So she was meant to go and do something the following morning and they were just like, you're not doing it.
We're sending someone else.
Right.
You're not in charge of it.
She must have been bricking it.
Yeah.
So we can get the next one, the Sun article.
Shouldn't be that one yet.
Ah, I haven't got it.
It's alright.
Yeah, it's in there.
I'll send it to you, DM. Don't worry.
No, no, it's a voice because it's got some good stuff on it.
Oh, okay.
So, the same thing happened to Beth, which, what do you expect, to be honest?
Well, she'd broken the COVID rules too.
Yeah, Sky News basically saw that she'd broken it and decided...
Was she at Kay Burley's party?
She was at the party.
Yeah.
That's the weird thing about it.
Loads of Sky News people have decided, you know, lockdown rules for thee and not for me.
Because that's the thing.
These are for the peasants.
One of the guys who went there, they're estimating he travelled 200 miles by car to attend this.
Oh, so he's Dominic Cummings'd it.
So he's meant to be working in Manchester, and he travelled down to London.
Which I'm not sure if they're in Tier 3 as well, so that would be an eek.
Yikes.
Yeah, so she got kicked.
If you can scroll down, there's some pictures, which I don't know how The Sun got hold of these, but that's amazing.
Keep going, keep going.
So that's just Beth Rigby, and that's Kay Burley.
Yeah, there's just pictures of them, but then there's the pictures of them at the party, which is hilarious.
It's near the bottom.
Yeah, and they're just hugging, hanging out with their friends.
That's not social distancing!
Which, do you remember Lawrence Fox tweeting out that he hugged someone, and then all the abuse he got for him?
Yep.
Yeah, there's one more as well, if you can go down.
No masks, no social distancing, acting like there's no threat from COVID. I mean, we've been told by Sky News and all the others that COVID is a tremendously dangerous disease.
Why is Kay putting herself in danger and putting others in danger?
Because they don't believe it.
Well, that's the truth of it, obviously.
But really, I mean...
So yeah, if we can go to...
There's another guy who's quite famous called Adam Bolton who responded to this by retweeting a colourful post.
So if you want to read this, maybe censor some of it.
Isn't he on Sky News?
Yeah, he is on Sky News.
So he wasn't having this because he's...
Look at the state of Sky News.
The moron spent all summer preaching to us and now look at them.
After illegally going on a bender, they were going to go to a hospital to put lives at risk.
Oof.
Yeah, that was...
Kate Burley was meant to go to a hospital the day after to report.
That's what she didn't get sent to.
So she would have been going to a hospital after being out partying.
Oh, Jesus.
It could not have been worse, could it?
It could not have been worse.
The only thing that would be worse is if she was coughing in the faces of sick orphans.
The next day!
And she practically was anyway, Kay.
That is hilarious.
Yeah, so the next two links I've got are just showing her during Dominic Cummings.
Yeah.
They'll be like, you know, I'm not making this up.
The Americans might not know what's going on.
Yeah, yeah, literally her.
People are saying to officers, if it's okay for Dominic Cummings, it's okay for me.
It's making life for police more difficult.
Well, if it's okay for Kay Burley...
It's okay for me.
Yep.
But yeah, and then the next one she had Michael Gove on, which again, just don't go on.
I don't know why you need to do this.
Yeah.
They've got nothing for you.
Yeah.
And she gave some quote from a bishop saying, isn't this immoral and all the rest of it?
Oh, it is.
And Gove just responded with, well, that's his opinion.
Didn't care.
I mean, that's fair, to be honest.
Fair enough to him.
I mean, it's a good interview, mate, but I just, I don't know why you take the bookings.
Yeah, don't know why you bother.
Yeah, so I just found this as well, and I thought it just fits the story perfectly.
Oh, a 2019 quote from Dominic Cummings.
Don't watch the news because it's all bullshit.
Wow.
Yeah, it is, Kay.
It really is.
Really makes you think, doesn't it?
Just noggin' is a joggin'.
But that's just, you know, a funny story which has popped up in the British media, which is obviously hilarious.
But didn't Beth Rigby get fired?
I don't think she's fired.
I think she's been replaced.
She's been suspended.
But this is obviously a wider problem.
People criticize Dominic Cummings and all the rest of it.
I mean, we don't really care either way about these people going out.
It's just the hypocrisy of the COVID Gestapo then doing it.
That's what's super interesting.
But it's the same in every single case.
Whenever someone in a position of power and influence is...
It feels inclined to preach morally down to whoever it is that they think should be doing a certain thing.
They are always guilty of breaking their own rules.
Like the Austrian politician who's very much anti-homosexuality and then suddenly he's caught in a gay bar breaking COVID rules himself.
It was Hungarian.
Let's tell the Americans about that real quick because it's funny.
So he's a Hungarian member of the European Parliament and it's the Viktor Orbán's party, so very anti-gay rights and all the rest of it.
And then he was found in a gay orgy above a nightclub during COVID restrictions.
And that's the thing they got him on?
It's like, we don't care about the gay orgy, but the COVID restrictions.
I didn't realise Orban was so progressive, frankly.
Yeah, but he got kicked out of the party, so it's just a funny story.
But yeah, you've got to practice what you preach is the takeaway.
Yeah, so the wider issue here is not...
Is the COVID Nazis doing this?
Because if you massively care about it and you preach about it all the time and then you're going to break your own rules...
Well, it shows you don't believe it.
No one should take you seriously.
It shows you can rationalize why you're exempt from these rules.
But that shows that you're not in dire fear of the...
You know, it's like that.
So this lady of the spectator has made a lovely list.
And we're not going to read all of them, but if you can just scroll through them, just show how many there are.
These are just different politicians who have been caught breaking their own rules.
Oh, Cuomo?
Yeah, you've got...
Oh yeah, that was Pelosi, yep.
A whole bunch of them.
She does have great hair, though.
I'll just read off some notes while that's scrolling, just so you can see how many there are.
So, Dianne Feinstein, Cuomo and Pelosi, all of them promoting mask mandates, you must wear mask, all the rest of it.
All of them pictured at multiple events, not wearing masks, going to public events where you shouldn't be gathering, you know, typical stuff.
Yep.
There was also just random Democrats all over the place who kept holding political events, so fundraisers, campaign meetings, rallies, all sorts of things, at the same time telling everyone you must stay home for Thanksgiving.
All of the usual suspects.
Yeah, and it's just endless.
It just keeps going.
But the funny part is, as this lady noted, all of them except one on that list are a Democrat.
Because the Democrats are obviously far more for putting in COVID restrictions.
And the last one that's a Republican is actually a judge, so it's not even a politician.
I don't even know what autonomy he has in handing out sentences.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?
But it's all the usual suspects, all of the very prominent ones who have been saying, oh no, we have to do this, this is for all of our health.
Again, it shows they just don't believe it.
They just don't believe.
It's not just random mayors who said no one must go out and then went out.
It's like the top Democrats.
What is Pelosi, Speaker of the House?
Cuomo, massive figure in the COVID crisis.
Yeah, massive figure in the COVID crisis.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Laurie Lightfoot in, what is it, Detroit, Michigan, I think it is.
You know, it's huge.
These are the people at the very top.
They're all imposing lockdowns.
They all want, you know, all of this stuff.
Mask mandates, all of this stuff.
And then they just flound to it.
Yeah.
They just don't care.
So there's the Republican at the end, which is just the one guy who's a judge.
I mean, I don't want to be too partisan on this because we spoke about this before, but it's a little bit skewed because, of course, Republicans don't want to enforce these mandates because they value individual freedom over collective health more, which is, you know, that's our position.
But that's the reason you don't see them so much, I reckon.
I don't necessarily think it's because they're less corrupt or immune to corruption.
No, they're corrupt in different ways.
Yeah, it's just they're not going to impose themselves on your life so much.
Yeah.
Better than the alternative.
Yeah, essentially.
But the funniest one, which I had to include, is a meh, if we can get this one up.
So it's just a meme from Simpsons, which I'm sure you recognize.
But if you can scroll down to the tweet, just so we can read it.
So, Austin Mayor Steve Adler told citizens to stay at home while vacationing with extended family in Mexico after attending his daughter's wedding.
I saw this.
So he was making a video telling you all to stay at home whilst he's with his family at a wedding in Mexico before travelling back.
The gall.
The absolute gall.
You plebeians have different rules and you better remember that.
My Simpsons predicts everything.
It does.
It does.
But after going for like, you know, 25 years or whatever, or more actually now, probably, you probably end up...
Probably 30, 40.
No, I think it was late 90s.
I thought it was late 90s.
In the 90s.
Good guess.
But yeah, it's been going for so long that essentially it's predicted everything anyway.
But so, right, let's go through some super chats.
Yeah, don't know what we're left off.
Wow, media celebrities are hypocrites.
In other shocking news, the sun rises in the east and tides come in and out.
Not in the Mediterranean, they don't.
SNL Draco.
Das kuf only infesta untermensch.
Basically, yes.
That's basically...
No, but that's their opinion.
That's their opinion.
Yeah, that is their opinion.
If they thought...
Kay Burley wouldn't be hugging whoever it was, you know, smiling with no mask.
If she thought she was in genuine danger of catching a deadly disease.
I mean, she actually is in the danger zone as well at 60.
Yeah, 60, yeah.
She's one of the few people that actually has a significant chance of being killed from it.
Yeah.
But she doesn't care.
I mean, I guess not.
Dr.
Chris Marston had a video censored about the treatment for the virus.
He has a video about it here.
Oh, we have had a video censored about COVID as well, which we'll talk about in a minute.
Last, in fact, on the list.
But don't worry, we're going to get to YouTube's bizarre censorship rules regarding that.
Jay Jaffo on the Bound says, The veterans are right.
Services always guarantee citizenship.
Cheers from the States.
Man, I tell you what, all of this is looking very much like the revolt of the scientists from Starship Troopers and how the scientists think they can take over the world and impose all of these draconian rules from above and just think everyone is going to go along with it.
Revolt of the veterans against the scientists.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
The rule of the scientists.
Sorry.
The rule of the veterans.
Sorry.
But yeah.
But that, that, Heinlein was absolutely right in predicting this.
So, you know, veterans, I hope you're, hope you're biding your time here.
Johar, DM me K-hun, ignore the snakes, kiss kiss.
Present elect Joy Banden says, lockdown is only for plebs, change my mind.
K, I can't, but thanks for the soup chat.
Charlie the Beagle says, Irish broadcasters for RTE broke COVID restrictions a few weeks ago during a retirement party.
They all had to apologise live on radio and TV. And the thing is, I don't actually know whether I've broken the coronavirus restrictions or not, but I'm not going to apologize for it.
Michael Holder says, Hey Carl, how do you feel like recording some VR gameplay?
Try out hot dogs, horseshoes, and hand grenades.
It's a gun range simulator where you can fight sentient hot dogs.
You'll love it.
Check out Jello Things.
Thanks, man.
That was $50.
Bloody hell.
Thank you for the donation, man.
That's really generous.
Edward of Woodstock says, I refuse the countenance simping, but will happily provide additional support.
Unfortunately, the .co.uk domain version of the website leaves me for Vorsch.
Yes, we set that up because we want you to be able to see an exact replica, an example of what you shouldn't do and what we're not going to be.
So basically go there and have a look at what you see.
And when you realize that is the end of death of political dialogue, you can go to lotusheeters.com and become a member.
We've got loads of really good premium content.
Hannah Gall has given us a new article today, which is very interesting.
Was it the paradox of American Jews?
Yeah.
Because interestingly, a lot of Israelis, especially the establishment in Israel, support Donald Trump.
But American Jews hate Donald Trump and...
And I think a lot of it actually does come down to Donald Trump's support for Israel for this and various other things.
And she's a lady who writes for this.
She's Jewish and she writes for the Times of Israel.
So it's, you know, it's not like...
Great insight.
Yeah, she's got a great insight and, you know, they can't accuse of bigotry for...
I just wanted to say, I forgot to say it when we were doing it, but...
Seeing as Kay Burley and Beth Rigby might be without a job in a week's time, seeing as you're very libertarian-minded and a bit COVID-sceptic, I mean, if you want to join us, we'll happily take you on for minimum wage.
Well, I mean, if that's the case, you guys really are going to have to sign up.
That's a joke, by the way.
But no, we've got the personal interview with Andy Ngo up today, and later on this week we're going to have another book club, which is Frank DeCotta's Dictators.
We record it on Friday, it will be up this week.
For anyone, people are asking, you know, what's the next book on the book club so they can read it in advance, the next one I'm going to do, I think I'll do it next week, Will be The Rule of Law by Lord Bingham.
Lord Bingham is a famous English judge, if you know anything about the culture of the English or British judiciary.
And he wrote a book called The Rule of Law, and he's talking primarily about the roots of common law, where it came from, the major milestones, and why they're all significant, and why what we do with common law is actually really rather important, and kind of the basis for our civilization, even if we don't know it.
And he's got...
Is that hilarious?
That's good!
Sorry, no, I read K and K daily in the chat.
Just saying, K. But no, Rule of Law by Lord Bingham.
It's very good.
It's not even very long, either.
It's very concise and very readable.
It doesn't use any technical jargon.
And yeah, definitely worth your time.
And I'll talk about my thoughts on it for the book club on the premium side of the site next week.
So that'll be fun.
Sounds good.
Raptor says, please watch Mike Pompeo's remarks at the Georgia Tech from yesterday.
It was a big slap in the face to the CCP and their lackeys in academia.
I'll see if I can find some time.
Logan Porter says, Texas Democrat introduced bill to repeal castle doctrine.
Of course they did.
Of course they did.
Okay, so talking about Bingham and the rule of law, right, the reason this I think is important for Americans is that where do you think castle doctrine comes from?
You know, it's not something that's native to the United States, is it?
How many castles do you have in the US? Zero.
Absolutely none.
We have the largest number of castles per square mile in Britain.
It came from us, right?
And Bingham explains, and honestly, you're going to really enjoy the ethos that he's laying out in this.
I'm not choosing it for no reason, but thank you, Logan Porter, for the generous donation.
Charlie the Beagle says, in Ireland, Sinn Féin is currently the largest opposition party, making moves to get into government in the next election.
Oh, sorry, I didn't finish that castle doctrine on.
Reason is absolutely mental in how she defends criminals breaking and entering with weapons for self-defense and to persuade the homeowners to part with their stuff.
Yeah, so there's actually something I'm going to go into because I've been studying this kind of moral view a lot.
There are sort of multiple stages of universalization when it comes to moral reasoning and the Democrats have essentially arrived at the very last one, which is taking on the other side's moral values and making judgments from their moral framework.
And so this is why the Democrats are making moral judgments from the framework of criminals and murderers and rapists and all these other terrible people, right?
It's something I'll have to do a separate, I'll probably do a book club explaining it, because it's detailed stuff, but we've got to stop it.
We don't have to accept the moral framework of the opposition to make our own moral judgments, basically.
But Sinn Féin being the largest party in Ireland?
I'm assuming he means in the Republic.
Opposition party.
Not the North.
Making moves to get into government in the next election.
Yes.
No, I mean, I think he's talking about Northern Ireland there.
The Earl of Longford British liberalism went wrong when all the Chads died fighting Napoleon, leaving only the Chinless.
Prove me wrong.
Well, I mean...
Or the Chads didn't die fighting Napoleon.
British liberalism went wrong when we started listening to the Continentals, the Germans, in fact, about the welfare state.
So that's where I think it all went wrong.
Are you in agreement with Peter Hitchens then?
It's after the First World War?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, it seems to be.
Carl has been playing the long game.
Hooking viewers with This Week in Stupid has led down the elaborate road to showing people the power of keto.
Do we just start saying keto pills or keto food?
Yeah, yeah.
Based on keto pills.
Get some keto browns.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keto force.
Any chance of getting Jordan Peterson on for an interview?
I'll do what I can.
I'll do what I can.
I'd love to have him on.
Mute stream again.
I'll make myself short.
Team Hugo.
Peace, my boys.
Well, there we go.
I'll let Hugo know that his simps are more persistent than Josh is.
I'm more persistent than cockroaches, aren't I? Oh my goodness!
The only thing alive after the apocalypse are cockroaches and Hugo Simps.
Anyway, so you were going to tell me about how the South is rising again, huh?
Yes, it is.
Good job, everyone.
And this time you're the Republicans and not the racists.
So good job.
Again, playing the long game works, right?
But you may run into the same problems of the industrial north.
But anyway, so I believe it's actually 19 states now, because this number keeps growing, which is good.
So Trump and 19 states have now joined Texas's, or 18 states and Texas, have joined Texas's request for the Supreme Court to, well, as being reported here by Wall Street Journal, New York Times, whatever it is, To overturn the Biden win in four states.
So the states are Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas.
See, it's not Arkansas, see?
This is how I'm better than Kay Burley, right?
Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.
I believe it's the Attorney Generals of those states, all Republicans, who have filed a 23-page motion that urges the Supreme Court to hear Texas' allegations, arguing that they are not meddling in other states' internal affairs.
They are protecting the value of their own electors.
They cite the risk of fraud from expanded mail balloting and the unconstitutional encroachment by courts and governors in violation of the Constitution, which refers to state legislators setting rules for choosing presidential electors.
They say states have a strong interest in ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not diluted by the unconstitutional administration of elections in other states.
This is, as they describe, putting Trump's complaints into legalese about the allegations of fraud.
It notes, for instance, that while GOP candidates for Senate and U.S. House and other lower offices did well, the candidate for president at the top of the ticket who has provided those coattails did not himself get over the finish line in his first place.
Even though his nearly 75 million votes was 12 million more than he had received four years ago, that would have been a new record, except Biden topped him by 7 million votes.
Very, very strange.
And they are right.
I mean, as they say, he had coattails, but as some commentators have cleverly noted, apparently no coat.
These things just don't normally happen, and a large percentage of American people know that something is deeply amiss.
His intervention in this case strengthens an already strong action by the state of Texas, says one of his lawyers.
And to make this happen, five of the nine Supreme Court justices would have to agree to hear the case.
Now...
There's, I think, a fairly strong likelihood that that could happen, given how the Supreme Court is, I think, 6-3 at the moment, with three Trump appointees.
So they're not going to be unfavorably disposed to Trump and the Republicans, and the Democrats will scream partisanship.
But yes, you are also partisans.
Deal with it.
Yeah, I mean, if this was reversed, they wouldn't care at all.
Yeah, if you manage to steal the election, then you can just pack the court and you don't have to complain about it, can't you?
Cheaters.
But anyway, and I'm allowed to say that, and we'll get into how I'm allowed to say that in a minute, because that's what YouTube told Tim Pool.
But anyway, the point is...
That there does seem to be genuine concerns here.
And these are not fanciful claims either.
These are actually quite concrete claims based on the illegitimate actions of certain governors changing things without going through their own state legislatures and things like this.
Like very boring procedural stuff.
But stuff that is important and critical, frankly.
And any sort of orthodox constitutionalist should take a very similar view.
You don't have to get all that up on screen.
I've got it here.
But anyway, so a group of Republicans that includes former New Jersey Governor Chris Todd Whitman and former Missouri Senator John Danforth filed a friend of the court brief urging the rejection of the Texas lawsuit and Saying that this is an unprecedented argument that a presidential election dispute is a controversy between two or more states.
They point to the Constitution's electors clause, which says each state shall appoint its own electors in such a manner an legislator thereof may direct.
That, they argue, means that any challenge is a matter for each state's courts not subject to a challenge of Supreme Court intervention.
Rick Hansen, a top legal election expert and professor at the University of California Irving, wrote that this was garbage, utter garbage, dangerous garbage, but garbage.
Thank you for engaging credibly with the allegations there, Mr.
Hansen, or Dr.
Hansen, sorry.
But anyway, so we can get the map up, then we can see how this looks.
How the Civil War looks, huh?
Yeah, this is the Civil War.
So you've got the, what, 19 states now against the four states in which it seems that there are pretty much cast iron, you know, like ballots being counted after the date and all this sort of stuff.
Just really boring procedural things.
But it's quite significant to have such a massive body of the country.
But I find it very interesting where just the locations of the places.
It's the flyover states.
It's the places where the coastal elites...
Don't have any interests.
They don't care.
They kind of hate them.
They despise the people.
They think that these people are a bunch of throwback racists.
You know, that's the general opinion of Californians and New Yorkers of these places.
I mean, Hillary Clinton said it best with a blask of deplorables.
Deplorables, yeah, exactly.
Deplorables.
I personally would call them Americans.
So I'm on their side.
You know, I want them to do well.
I wonder, would you call people in LA, the ultra-woke people, Americans or not?
No, I call them communists.
Yeah, I mean, you'd be right.
And communists are not Americans.
They can't be Americans.
Like, philosophically.
America is a revolutionary ideal.
They're not in favor of it.
They hate the United States.
Tear it down.
We set up our...
Go to loadceast.com and check out the report we've got about the newest capital...
The CHAZ, which is called the RAS, the...
What was it?
Red Hill or something?
Autonomous Zone?
In Portland, right?
In Portland, yeah.
Unlike in Seattle, where the CHAZ was.
This is the third or fourth autonomous zone that they've tried to create and they just keep doing it because they hate the United States.
They want their own separate state.
They want borders and walls to keep out the racists.
How many times do they have to secede from the union before you get the message?
Yes, exactly.
Before you get the message, and it always comes out of the exact same people, the exact same places, the exact same ideology.
You know, it's not a mystery that the communists always set up communes.
This is not new.
You know, this goes back hundreds of years, you find revolutionary communes.
And I bet if you were to talk to the people who are involved in these autonomous zones, they would have been like, oh yeah, the Paris Commune was the model I'm aiming for, because they're all aiming for that, even though that lasted three months and ended in fire and death.
It's like, okay, well that's not my model.
I prefer, you know, long contiguous histories of democracy.
But anyway, so we'll just go through just some of the claims being made in a lawsuit that the Trump campaign has filed in Georgia on Friday, where they've found evidence that they allege that 2,560 felons voted,
felons can't vote, 66,000 underage voters, 2,500 votes from people who are not registered, 1,000 individuals registered at P.O. Boxes, which again you're not allowed to do, nearly 5,000 individuals who voted in Georgia after registering in another state.
I don't know, I guess you just get multiple votes if you're lucky.
400 individuals who voted in two states, 15,000 votes from people who had moved out of the state before the election, 40,000 votes of people who had moved without re-registering in their new county, 30,000 to 40,000 absentee ballots that are lacking proper signature matching and verification, and 30 violation of George's laws and codes.
Garbage.
Dangerous garbage, but garbage.
That's how we're engaging with that, because YouTube is going to make us do that.
All of this we denounce.
There's no evidence of this.
Please, our censors at YouTube.
This non-evidence should be taken as non-evidence.
Yes.
Just dangerous garbage.
There's no legitimacy to any of it.
There's no reason that 19 states, the Attorney Generals of 19 states, have signed on saying, hey, something's fishy here.
No reason at all.
And anyone who suggests to the opposite deserves to be censored, like we got censored.
Yep.
We'll get into that in a minute.
Yep.
You can read some of these.
Okay, where did we leave off?
Woodstock.
Ah, excellent stratagem.
Stratagem.
Stratagem, sorry.
At any rate, I have been really pleased with your content so far, and I hope you continue to succeed.
I just wish I had the stomach to watch Vosh without cringing.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Go to loadceaser.co.uk, then go to loadceaser.com, and see which one you prefer.
When you start promoting CP and bestiality, what are you doing?
I don't understand why he keeps his channel up.
Just go work somewhere else, mate.
Well, it's because YouTube will protect him, because he has the right politics.
That's the right politics at YouTube.
Honestly, people are like, oh, isn't that bad?
No, I want Vaush to be the face of the left.
I want every leftist to essentially have to answer for Vaush's crimes.
Anyway.
Xerophon?
How did you say that?
Was that a Greek name?
Xerophon, yeah.
Okay.
Consider looking into the history of the former nation of Bactria and the War of the Heavenly Horses.
The CCP disappeared Chinese historians who said the Greeks were the origins of the Chinese culture, e.g.
the Terracotta Army.
I don't think it's...
I wouldn't put the Greeks as the origins of Chinese culture, but I don't think the people who say that should be disappeared.
I just don't think it's true.
Surely that's pretty easy to disprove.
I don't know why you have to kill the guy.
Anyway.
StanleyFerbo22.
Sorry, mate.
Keep up the great work, guys.
Love the show.
Thank you very much.
The Earl of Longford.
Sinn Féin is the largest opposition party in Ireland.
In the south, made ridiculous gains over the...
Corporates, yeah.
Fine Gael and Fine Fáil.
Yeah, I can't pronounce any of that.
But right, okay.
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure it's like We Will Rise Again or something.
Arden.
Stoics and chads.
Nothing ever happens to any man that he has not formed by nature to bear.
Modern liberals and communists.
So how about the welfare state?
Hmm.
The engaging few.
Oh.
Only four justices are required to issue a writ of certification.
It's called the rule of four and stops the majority from controlling the docket.
Right, okay.
That was misreported by whichever outlet.
Yeah, it was whichever one I'd done with that, which I can't open up now.
I think you were mistaken in the amount of justices as well.
Yeah.
5-4, not 6-3.
Oh, is it?
That's what people were saying in the chat.
Right, okay.
Sorry, I apologise there.
5-4 then.
Um...
Bomb Chuss, if we can't say Trump lost because of voter fraud, then let's say that Trump might win because of voter fraud.
I disavow that comment, YouTube.
I have no opinion on that.
We'll get to what we can and can't say in a second.
Yeah, Nightmarish Vision says, if Biden's campaigning tactics, or perhaps lack of them, translates so well into votes, then surely all Republicans need to do to win next time is have an entirely imaginary candidate.
Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry.
I just don't believe that Joe Biden set records that will probably be never set again with the fact of who he is and how poorly he campaigned in comparison to how well Trump did and how solidly Trump's record actually has been.
I mean, what are Joe Biden's achievements?
Apart from selling out the US to China, which is categoric at this point.
Not even that.
I mean, what was going well for the Democrats energy-wise during that campaign?
Like, you had Antifa burning down half the country, BLM engaging in it.
Yeah.
The Bernie bros all checked out of politics because they were like, I'm not voting for Biden.
Yeah.
I don't see what was going on.
Maybe COVID? Maybe it's COVID. I don't think it explains it.
It made the dead rice.
Yeah, exactly.
That's a joke.
I don't believe that, YouTube.
We disavow our own jokes, YouTube.
We're sorry.
Mr.
Tucker, if people want to set up an autonomous zone, I say let them do it, then revoke their citizenship and stop sending them supplies.
Well, I mean, they could not disagree with that.
They couldn't disagree with it.
I mean, send in a diplomat to deal with the foreign power.
You know, be like, okay, well, you've seceded from the US, and now we've sent our diplomats.
We're going to build a border.
We're going to build a wall around it, obviously.
And we're going to have checkpoints that monitor goods coming in and out, and the thing will last a week before everyone starves to death and kills each other.
And the thing is, everyone knows that.
Everyone knows that this childish LARPing is nothing that can't sustain itself.
I mean, we saw the Chaz Garden.
It's just embarrassing.
Like, you guys have never been near a field in your lives.
You don't know what you're doing.
You say no one, but then you have the mayor saying this is going to be a summer of love as they set it up.
Yeah, but they knew that wasn't going to be the case.
You see, everyone knew this was going to end in murder.
And no one seemed to care.
They were just like, or at least the Democratic politicians didn't seem to care.
They were like, just let it go on.
It's great.
Just like they don't care about the COVID lockdowns.
Yeah, yeah, just lies.
Palm Tree Productions, you guys like Florida Sunshine Laws.
What are Florida Sunshine Laws?
I actually don't know.
Yeah, I've heard the term, but I don't know what they are, I'm afraid.
Adam Morgan, get Gary Edwards on, or at least to write some op-ed.
I would love to get Gary Edwards on.
I'm a big fan of Gary Edwards.
And IMB4902 says, tuning in from Taiwan for some voice of reason for my sanity.
Ah, the legitimate government of China.
If, in the end, Biden wins, at least I'll get a chance to fire up some commies before you do slash S. Well, I mean, that's true, I suppose.
Apparently, sunshine laws mean that anyone in Florida can request any information about a government meeting.
Oh, thanks.
We have that in the UK, Freedom of Information.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone should have that.
That's great.
So, I guess we'd better get into YouTube's bizarre censorship rules when it comes to the US election.
And it's not just on the election results, it's actually on COVID too, which we fell afoul of, that I didn't realise that we'd tripped the wire here.
But there we go.
I mean, we got a slap and the video removed, no warning.
There's now a permanent warning.
So we're going to have to be more careful in the future.
But yeah, so YouTube yesterday published this blog.
It wasn't something that, you know, they could have...
They can send you emails.
They can send every content creator emails.
They can have notifications pop up in the YouTube backend.
So every content creator who logs into their account could see a notification, and they do this for all sorts of other things, but they haven't done it for this, for some reason.
For this, they've decided, oh, we'll just publish a blog, and good luck, basically.
And I wish they'd published it before we'd put up our video, and they've got a strike.
I mean, we didn't know.
YouTube's censorship of election results is, as they say, our main goal going into the election season was to make sure we're connecting people with authoritative information while also limiting the reach of misinformation and removing harmful content.
Right.
How is that not an editorial position?
How can we say that that's not them editorializing?
That is being a publisher.
A publisher wants to connect people with authoritative information.
That's why they publish it.
That's why you do it.
While also presumably acting in good faith, that is, limiting the reach of misinformation or removing harmful content.
Publisher.
You don't get 230 protections.
You don't deserve them.
That's what a publisher does.
I don't know why the Republicans aren't smashing them on this, but they've got to do something about all of this.
Well, this did just come out yesterday.
That's true.
But, I mean, that's just an open admission.
I know, but this is the most blatant case of anything.
And so they say, our community guidelines prohibit spam, scams, or other manipulated media.
Fine.
Coordinated influence operations.
Questionable.
And any content that seeks to incite violence?
Fine.
Since September, we've terminated over 8,000 channels and thousands of harmful and misleading elections-related videos for violating our existing policies.
Over 77% of those removed videos were taken down before they had 100 views.
Well done.
That's what I see.
YouTube bragging about their censorship.
We're so proud that we've taken down 8,000 channels.
I mean, I shouldn't complain, because we're just going to get the sort of Damocles fall on us.
But, like...
I think it's awful.
I think this is awful.
The way that they operate like this.
Again, it seems very much like Mao being surrounded by his sycophants.
They all just say that he's great and he's got all the power in the world and he is the truth and therefore...
He should sign this, take these actions, and damn the consequences.
And who knows how bad the consequences will be.
I mean, how many of their creators do they have to censor or have to leave the platform before other people are just like, is this worth me sticking around?
Is it even safe to stick around here?
But they say, while only a small portion of watch time is election-related content, YouTube continues to be an important source of election news.
On average, 88% of the videos in the top 10 search results related to the election came from authoritative news sources.
The rest are newsy, late-night shows, creative videos, and commentary.
And the most viewed videos are from news channels like NBC and CBS. So, companies I just don't trust.
But it's also just an open admission that we manipulate your search results.
Yes, this is them tube.
But not to necessarily get rid of violent content or anything like that, but to make sure you get the information that we want you to see.
Authoritative, yes.
Authoritative, though, just means mainstream.
It's a subjective opinionated statement.
But that's the thing.
I think Tim Paul did a thing about this, talking about what sites they were allowing, what sites they weren't allowing.
And things like Breitbart or whatever, it doesn't matter if it was true, it doesn't matter if it's just as biased as MSNBC. No, that's gone, because it's not part of the mainstream.
And yet Rachel Maddow will be considered an authoritative source, despite the fact everything she said about Russia was not true.
And at no point did she have anything true that she stated about Russia, even though she was categorically stating...
Russia stole the election, etc, etc, etc.
That just wasn't true.
There's no validity to it.
And yet she was allowed to say all of this, and this was just treated as if it was perfectly valid commentary.
Which, to be honest, I agree with.
I do agree!
If she wants to spout a load of stuff about how this election's been hacked by firepower and all the rest of it, fine.
Yeah, and Alex Jones can spout the same stuff, and that should be fine too.
But one of them is left-wing, one of them is right-wing, and the right-wingers, as always, get deplatformed.
Always the same way.
But they say yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the US presidential election.
And enough states have certified their election to determine a president elect.
Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today or any time thereafter that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors change the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election in line with our approach towards historical US presidential elections.
It's weird because I've never heard this come up before.
I've seen plenty of conspiracy theories on YouTube in the past about various, you know, electoral fraud and stuff like this.
But okay, this...
That's just a brave-faced lie because you remember and I remember 2016 is when all this stuff started to come in.
The idea that authoritative sources must be promoted.
The idea that borderline content must be gone.
That's content that doesn't violate the terms of service, but we're just going to delete it anyway.
Yep.
If this all came after 2016 and it was in response to Donald Trump being elected...
Yep.
And again, Rachel Maddow being the poster girl of this, she's still treated as an authoritative source, even though she has done everything that they're complaining about here.
She will not be censored.
We will be censored.
For example, we will remove videos claiming that a presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.
We'll begin enforcing this policy today, being I think yesterday, and we'll ramp up in the weeks to come.
Good news for that.
As always, news, coverage, and commentary on these issues can remain on the site if there's sufficient education, documentary, scientific, or artistic context.
Well, that's not true, because we...
I don't know, it was a different thing, actually.
I'll get to that.
But anyway, so Tim Pool is the one person that YouTube will speak to, apparently.
For some reason, not Stephen Crowder.
For some reason, not me, or anyone else, or anyone apart from Tim Pool.
I guess it's because Tim Pool was centre-left.
YouTube has clarified to me, he says, you can still say that Trump actually won the election.
You can still claim that the election was stolen from Trump.
You must meet two conditions for a video to be removed from YouTube.
You must, one, claim widespread fraud or error and say that it made Trump lose.
You can still say that there is evidence of widespread fraud.
You can still say that Trump actually won, but you cannot combine the two.
What strange times we live in.
And I just want to say I fully endorse our dear leaders at YouTube and their latest arbitrary action from Beijing.
I agree.
We should not be claiming widespread fraud or error at all, because it appears that the fraud was targeted in specific states, which I believe I'm allowed to say.
I'm not saying it's widespread.
It was localized.
And I believe it was intentional and not erroneous.
So well done for them for enforcing what I believe to be the truth.
I'm joking.
I mean, I'm not even joking, actually.
I do think that is the case.
Or at least there's a lot of evidence to suggest that might be the case.
But the point is, that's a very specific band of things.
You can't say widespread fraud or error.
So, I mean, why those things?
Why those two things?
Part of me wonders whether this is a walkback, because if you read the original post...
They're very brazen.
They're just saying, yeah, if you say that the election was, you know, if you're spreading misinformation about how the election was won or who's won, then we'll get rid of it.
And yet when they speak to Tim, they're clarifying, oh, no, no, we only mean this one specific kind of claim.
Yeah.
That's not what you wrote.
I mean, the widespread fraud is...
I tend to hear that from the media.
I hear direct and targeted allegations.
From the four states that are being sued by Texas, in fact.
Right-wing channels, Donald Trump, the Republican campaign, none of them ever use that term.
They're not saying that Oregon had widespread fraud.
They're not saying it had fraud in Oregon, or Nevada, or actually Nevada they are.
But in most of the states, they're not saying that significant amounts of fraud are kept.
But that phrase, widespread voter fraud, that's actually a phrase I only ever hear from the media.
At least I can only associate with the media.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe Giuliani might have said it at some point, which I guess is why they picked up on it.
But yeah, I mean, and through counting errors, I don't think anyone's accusing of a 7 million ballot error in counting.
People think that there's been malfeasance.
There's been cheating.
So I guess we're still allowed to say that for now?
I mean, I just don't know.
And I think that they keep the rules deliberately vague in order so that...
They can never really be held to account.
There's also another thing to say on that.
I can't remember who tweeted that out, but someone realized that they said they were going to take stuff down until the 20th of January, and then they would take it down and give you a strike if you violated this, which makes me think that they're not really sure that they can get away with it, and they want to test this out and see what the backlash is like.
And then if they can get away with it, they'll just kick everyone.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, the Daily Caller, if we can go to the next one, of YouTube.
We're taking down all videos that promote conspiracy theories about the election.
Also YouTube.
How Russia hacked the election from The Atlantic.
How Russia hacked the election from CBS News.
Not true.
Absolutely not true.
Three years' worth of investigations.
Found that was not true.
YouTube, do not care.
Adverts on it.
Domino's Pizza are apparently paying for CBS News to lie to us, to our faces.
But if Alex Jones wants to make a conspiracy about how the frogs are getting turned gay, that's not only no adverts, you have to go.
Yeah, you're off YouTube.
It's unreal.
The partisan bias and the attempt from the cathedral to control the narrative is so flagrantly on display that I don't know what else we would need to demonstrate it.
I mean, how could you deny it?
And this is even though the cases are at the Supreme Court.
Cases of this are at the Supreme Court.
We saw under Tim's post, actually, what is it, the right stuff or right report?
Sorry, mate, I've forgotten the channel name.
He just posts what the Republican campaign is saying or things like this.
It's like, can I even report on this anymore?
What am I even meant to do?
And he's not wrong.
If the Trump campaign wants to claim those two things, which I'm not going to say...
Is he then breaking the rules?
Well, I think we found that the answer is yes.
Yeah, I think we actually have found that the answer is yes here.
But as Jack Posobiec says in the next one, this is a great point.
YouTube's reasoning for the new policy is essentially you are not allowed to criticize the government because it's focused on states have certified their elections.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Come on, extrapolate this to the rest of the world as well.
Let's talk about...
I mean, Venezuela had the presidential elections a few days ago, or national, I can't remember.
Are we now to...
If a Venezuelan wants to upload a video saying that that's clearly false, are YouTube going to come after him?
YouTube are like, well, actually, Kim Jong-un won 99.9% of the vote, and therefore, this has been certified, you're not allowed to criticize.
And of course, Susan Wojcicki will be like, oh no, we'll draw a line somewhere.
Where?
Where's the line?
Why bother drawing a line, though?
You don't have to burn yourself.
What's your limiting principle on this?
If you're saying that government is the source of truth, which you are, then why distinguish between governments at all?
Because you've adopted the same principle as North Korea, as China, as Russia, as all of these other tyrannical states, and you seem to be fine running Silicon Valley like a despotic communist dictatorship.
That's how they're running Silicon Valley.
This is why it's so essential, folks.
In the description, we have links to all of the other alternative media platforms.
And really, it's because you guys use YouTube.
It's because you guys use YouTube that we're here.
You know, people go to YouTube because everyone's just on it.
If everyone was on something else, we'd go somewhere else.
You know, we'd broadcast somewhere else.
This is why you're on Parlour 24-7 now.
Yes, yes.
This is why.
Yeah, follow me on Parlour at Sargon.
Because there's an audience there.
Yeah, a big audience there, in fact.
I've got over 100,000 followers there now.
So a bunch of other of your band favourites are on there.
Again, use BitChute, use DLive, use all of these alternative platforms, if possible, because it's just because you guys are on YouTube.
And it allows them to do stuff like this.
YouTube have...
I want to say something first about that.
Oh, go on.
So, I'll make an article about this later, but Susan Wojcicki gave an interview to the New York Times about the idea of promoting authoritative sources, and a lot of people wonder why you're doing this, because anyone coming at it and you just see that they're promoting mainstream media, obviously wrong.
I mean, you'd have to be an idiot to not realise that this is wrong.
Yeah.
But her argument, just so people understand, is that she tells it that she was sitting in Silicon Valley and then she heard about the NIS attacks.
Some guy drove a truck into a bunch of people.
And she said to her engineers, this is horrible, you know, personal grievance about it, and said, everyone must know about this in France.
People need to know.
So they made it so it promoted the news about the NIS attacks and it would only be authoritative sources.
And the engineers came back and said, no one's clicking on this.
We're not getting any more views out of this.
And she said, I don't care.
Show it to them anyway.
Which means she just was not interested in the business side of it.
She was interested in the, I suppose, of a charitable education side.
But of course, she's now extended that and extended it.
And it's at the point where she's happy to say, I will just serve up mainstream media to everyone.
And I don't even care if they don't like it.
I don't even care if they're not interested or don't want to click on it.
I'm going to show it to them anyway.
You're a publisher.
Sorry, how is that not a publisher decision?
That's an editorial decision.
There's no question about it.
No two ways.
There's no equal platforming there, Susan.
And it's also wildly arrogant.
Like, oh, well, I have access to this giant platform that I can actually exert dictatorial power over.
And I will.
She is the absolute monarch of YouTube.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think anyone there could stand up to her, or at least there's no resistance.
How could they?
She's the boss.
She's got no constitutional limits on her power.
I mean, is this how we want all information in the future to be governed?
It's how it's going to be if we carry on like this.
But anyway, yeah, so YouTube on our Lotus Seaters channel, the alternative channel where we do single videos, have taken down one of our videos.
As you can see, it was titled, Doctors Have Infertility Concerns About COVID-19 Vaccines.
Because two doctors, one in Germany, I believe, had filed a petition, an appeal.
I don't even know what we can say.
Yeah, well, that's the thing, right?
So I probably shouldn't tell you about the content of the video, in fact, because I don't want to get a strike on this channel.
Some doctors said a thing, Carl said that the doctors said the thing, and that was a breach of the terms of service.
Yeah, because I have no medical knowledge about COVID-19 vaccine, and so I made no claims about a COVID-19 vaccine.
I was just repeating claims made by people who looked credentialed because of their status as professors at various universities and their 30 or 40 year long medical careers, right?
I don't know anything about this myself, but the fact that I said that got me in trouble.
And so I'm surely able to at least tell you what part of YouTube's terms and services that I violated.
That can't be wrong, right?
I must be able to tell people what YouTube don't let us say.
Well, there's the thing.
Tim Pool's talked about this, how YouTube has bots that run on these videos, that run on the streams, and they're detecting what you say initially for captions, so deaf people can watch.
And then what they realized is they can use that to determine whether or not a video is safe or breaching the rules.
So if you say something, the bot is listening to a or every word.
So this is why Tim doesn't say the bad guys from World War II. Like, he doesn't say the word.
Because that will get picked up.
And if enough of them get picked up, it will get demonetized or it will get censored.
You used the N-word earlier in the stream, too.
The bad guys from World War II. Yeah, yeah.
Not the other one.
Yeah, well, the German N-word...
Yeah, but that's the thing.
So even reading this out, I'm not even sure.
Maybe we could just put it on the thing for people to read, because if you say those things, that's going to be picked on by these bots.
YouTube's COVID-19 medical misinformation policy.
Again, this is an editorial policy.
It's got lots, and there is a lot in here.
I didn't even realise this was so, like, vast.
I mean, most of the stuff we haven't violated, obviously, because a lot of it's, you can't say that COVID doesn't exist or anything like this, blah, blah, blah, duh.
But the one that we seem to have tripped is, you're not allowed to make claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will cause death, infertility or contraction of other infectious diseases.
Well, we didn't say that, but we're not allowed to report on people saying things like that.
It turns out.
I imagine that if we worked at CNBC or something, that would have been fine.
Rachel Maddow could probably say this all day, but we're not allowed to say this.
I mean, you'll notice repeatedly in here they talk about the World Health Organization and how you can't contradict them, but they've contradicted themselves multiple times.
What do you do when the World Health Organization contradicts itself?
Well, you remember that we have always been at war with East Asia.
Enjoy your strike.
Yes.
So, I mean, there are other claims that we're not allowed to make, such as you're not allowed to claim that COVID-19 vaccine will kill people who receive it.
I'm not saying it does.
I don't know that it does.
But I'm not allowed to...
YouTube will punish you if you say that.
You're not allowed to say that the COVID-19 vaccine will be used as a means of population reduction.
So that's Bill Gates in trouble.
Yep.
Videos claiming that the COVID-19 vaccine will contain fetal tissue...
I don't know whether it does or doesn't, but you can see who they're targeting there.
It's Christians.
Christians who are concerned about abortion and who don't want fetal tissue in their vaccines, which doesn't sound like a giant ask, really.
I mean, there was some Labour guys complaining if it has any animal products, because then it's not vegan.
Yeah, I mean, are they allowed to...
I guess that's not on the list.
But there is an exemption, he did have a point, which is that flu vaccines, you can get them without animal products.
Right, okay.
But then why can't a Christian...
I don't understand it.
Or claims that the COVID-19 vaccine will contain a microchip or tracking device.
Again, Bill Gates is really in trouble on YouTube.
We're joking.
No, but this is unbelievably stringent and we appealed and got denied.
So we just have a warning on our other channel now over telling you about things that doctors have done.
Again, we're not making any claims about COVID vaccines because we're not doctors and we don't know anything about COVID vaccines.
We only know what other people who do know about these things say and YouTube will punish you for it.
Yeah, but it's not necessarily the point of COVID. You know, it's not necessarily the point of the elections.
The broader point here is that YouTube thinks they can tell you what you should believe, and believes they have a right to do that.
And that it's certainly what you can say.
And, I mean, that is publishing.
That is editorialising.
You are actively restricting people's ability to speak their minds on various topics.
You are not a platform anymore.
Yeah, and I mean, there are some reasonable expectations, which is why we've ended up in this, because people have given a bit of it, which is if you're dealing with international terrorist groups or something like this, you've got to act.
But that's the law.
And then, okay, maybe you don't want certain types of content, you know, gore or whatever.
So the law doesn't require any of this.
Well, the law doesn't require you get rid of gore, but they do because you don't want that kind of platform.
Sure, yeah.
But, of course, you take this and you take this, and then you're just in the world of telling people what they can and cannot hear and say.
Yeah.
And do you think it stops here, YouTube?
You know, this is going to go on.
The next crises, the next thing that the world, like, you know, the next troubles that the world comes into.
YouTube will be like, well, we have a responsibility to do X, Y, and Z here.
Yes, it will penalise our content creators, and we will be promoting a kind of homogenous left-wing mainstream narrative, but we've decided that this is truth.
And again, literally getting into Chairman Mao is the incarnation of truth now.
This is Susan Wojcicki having power gone to her head.
That's the thing.
All of these claims, let's just say they're bunk.
Half of them I know nothing about.
Yeah, I don't know.
But let's just say they're all bunk.
And then everything Alex Jones says is bunk.
I mean, sure, sure, there are plenty of conspiracy theories that are just absolute bunk.
Russiagate included.
But do you have the right to tell me whether or not it's real?
Yep.
Did YouTube sign up to being the arbiters of truth?
Again, seems like a publisher's opinion to me.
But anyway, so YouTube is getting worse, not better.
But you knew that.
This, again, is why we strongly recommend you come and sign up to the website.
Because...
We're probably going to get in more trouble.
We're trying not to.
We're trying to be good, but you know how these things are.
The thing that irritates me the most is it's all self-inflicted.
Like, every time they give an interview about it, it's always because they internally decided this.
Up a bit, John.
You've gone way too far.
Stop.
Stop.
Keep...
Trying to find something that's not there.
Right, so...
Debunked.
It's been debunked.
So about...
Yeah, about there.
I can tell you as a Celt that our ancestors would be turning over in their grave if they could see how the descendants bowed to the centralised political bodies.
Don't doubt.
EZ says, Vorsch is an example of how logic used by morons without morals is akin to a calculator used by a chimpanzee.
Tools are only as good as their user.
That's true.
Gates says, unrelated, but why did Sargon stop using Ken's theme as an outro to his videos?
Just laziness, really.
I'm a terrible editor.
That's Ken's theme.
It was the rock song at the end of the videos, but just laziness.
The Earl of Longford says, what do we think of coming automation?
CPG Grey video, Humans Need Not Apply, also Fight Me.
Oh, yeah.
You seen that?
I haven't seen it.
Oh, no.
It's great.
I'll show you it afterwards.
Yeah, okay.
Basically, it's self-driving cars and everything.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll get rid of millions of jobs, so what do you do?
Well...
You think?
We just move them on to another job, right?
No, you smash up the cars.
If there's King Ludd, there's anything to go by.
Do you not know about the Luddites?
I know about the Luddites, but I don't think that's a solution.
Well...
Long-term one, anyway.
You need to have Aiden Paladin on your show.
She's nearby, I think.
Get on your show and get your noggin a joggin.
We'll look into it.
Doomhan says, say we're on about Joe Rogan's deal with Spotify.
He saw the writing on the wall.
Maybe it's time we all followed suit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
He did see the writing on the wall.
I mean, he's been very critical of YouTube as well.
Very critical of YouTube.
And now he's not on their platform, essentially.
And it's like, okay, YouTube, how long can that keep going on for?
I don't know why you chose Spotify, though.
Because they offered him £100 million.
That's a good point.
And I don't blame him.
So don't expand fish.
Any chance of getting Kay Burley and Beth Rigby an infusion?
Zero.
Zero chance.
Arden says...
Oh, sorry, I missed one.
Serious question.
If you guys can't divorce yourselves from YouTube censorship slash service, what's the point of this supposedly private podcast?
It's not that we can't divorce, it's just we have to be able to promote.
And again, this is why we have the website and why we would strongly recommend, why we produce exclusive content for it.
Because obviously we would get more views and make more money if everything we did was just thrown up on YouTube and all the other platforms.
But if we do that, then we put ourselves under the sword of Damocles, even more so than we are.
And you think before you were entirely on YouTube.
Yes.
This is the thing, slowly edging away to get out of it.
Yes.
We are gradually moving away, but this takes time.
Yeah.
It takes time.
So, is it weird that Scotland is a majority politically conservative country for 300 years before Thatcher and the SNP used to be called the Tartan Tories?
I honestly don't think the SNP have any great thinkers among them, and so I'm not surprised when they find themselves kind of swamped in progressive dogma without really understanding it.
So, yeah.
Doomhan says, I meant leave YouTube and support alt-tech.
Well, we're on all of the alt-tech sites, and we're getting podcasts.
We're going to be getting the RSS feed for the podcast on other sites as well.
So whatever your favorite podcasting site is.
Bitchute, Minds, Garbutt.
We're all on that.
Yeah, we're on all of them.
Eric says, you've helped open my eyes looking at the moral philosophical underpinnings of how to view my own opinions and those of others.
Eric Leatherby.
Thank you.
Stuart McLean.
And that's all we really want to do as well.
Stuart McLean says, Rachel Maddow, after several lawsuits, is considered an opinion columnist, but is left so her opinion counts.
Yes.
Thank you, Red Fox Moon.
You failed to put in the Josh Simping in that soup chat.
Emom's Heart says, Lotus Eaters is the best content.
Love the Andy Ngo infuse.
Thank you.
Lotus Eaters is an oasis of freedom, reason, and peace.
That's great.
An oasis of freedom, reason, and peace.
I like that.
Yeah, I mean, the sooner we can leave YouTube, the better, really, because we're being persecuted on that.
There's no question.
Everyone is.
I guess you've had your PayPal account closed, then.
I don't know.
Are you uploading your content to Rumble?
Are we uploading our content to Rumble?
Great, okay, yeah, follow some rumble.
A bear in the woods.
YouTube.
The party cannot be incorrect.
Please correct your thinking.
Again, this is absolutely what happened in China.
Jonathan Davies.
Love the content, keep up the good work, and hopefully you'll come up to the valleys for the political festival.
Started a new job, so sharing the shekels.
Well, thanks so much.
I didn't a political festival.
I've not heard anything about it.
David Franco Jr.
for $49.
Thank you.
Hey, Sargon, keep fighting the good fight.
I will.
We will.
We're doing our best.
Larry Romano.
Carl, thank you for covering the story about the doctor's letter.
I feel people should know as much as possible about the new remedy he has and hasn't been tested for.
Well, I'm afraid I can't talk about it any further.
We got a smack upside the head by YouTube.
So, I mean, I guess we'll publish articles on the loadseeds.com about things like this in future rather than doing videos about them on YouTube.
But on the plus side, we can actually publish articles now, which is nice.
And you can share them wherever you like, which is always good.
And I have my own think piece on there at the moment.
I'll be doing more in the future because it was very well received.
Fully automated luxury serfdom.
Yeah, I was really proud of it, actually.
Yeah, I quite enjoyed that one, actually.
Thank you.
Split things into two videos.
Video one covers allegations and evidence.
Video two for the conclusion that Trump won.
I mean...
I guess that's what YouTube's just trying to increase their view counts.
That's what it is.
Pirate Skeleton says, Communism can only work if every member opts in and it's a small group.
They should make their own AZ on their own land and make their own infrastructure.
It doesn't even work on that scale.
Yeah, they've done that plenty of times.
There have been loads and loads and loads of communes and none of them have worked.
Nadro Seema for $300.
Holy crap.
Thank you, man.
I really appreciate that.
Don't underestimate American conservatives' necessity to cuck.
Supreme Court will not rule in favour of a Trump lawsuit because the decision will be blatantly biased in order to avoid being accused of bias.
Republicans cannot live with Communists accusing them of being fair.
Fairness is racist in the US. Not wrong.
I mean, I... Do you think he's going to lose on the Supreme, then?
Well, I mean, I was talking about the second part.
I'm not optimistic, to be honest.
I think that the...
Revolutions are difficult things to do.
And what Trump is effectively attempting here is a revolution.
And inertia prevents it in many cases.
Just the settled order of things is easy enough to go along with.
Because a lot of people are going to be risking a lot of things to do this.
And that's why 19 states signing up to the Texas lawsuit is big.
Really big.
Because that's a huge commitment of a lot of people who don't necessarily have to have the media coming down on their heads and the institutions coming down on their heads and the threats that will roll in and the possible damage that will do to their lives.
It would be easier to go, you know, I could survive a Joe Biden presidency.
It'd be easier to do that.
I could do it, you know?
Okay, well, I guess Joe Biden won.
I mean, there's going to be lots of content of us laughing at the senile old man falling over and sniffing children.
You know, like, this is what he does, isn't it?
You know, like, breaking his foot.
Like, sorry.
God, they're not going to report on it.
That's the worst part.
Like, George Bush and Trump say something stupid.
You know, we can live peacefully with fish.
It's everywhere.
That was great.
Joe Biden sniffs another, you know, 20...
You know, Joe Biden will sniff 20 kids and then say that he's going to point his son dead to the Supreme Court and it'll be a nothing burger.
But I mean, George Bush was wrong.
We've got to win the war on fish.
We can't allow them to take over the earth.
But yeah, it's not bad for us.
There's plenty of good content in Joe Biden winning because we'll be able to give you guys updates on how he's selling out your republic even further than he already has.
So it'll be good work for us, but that's just not what I think should happen.
Anyway, yesterday you briefly touched on baldness.
Word of advice for all men.
Balding is not a choice, but bald is a choice.
People respect decision-making.
Yes, exactly.
Take ownership of these things.
President elect Svlatnik for $5, but no message.
Thank you.
Zoranax, since Congress won't take these platforms to task, individuals or groups should independently sue YouTube if they have concerns manifest no settlements.
I mean, that's certainly something you can legally do, and I think there's more than enough evidence at this point that they are violating the Section 230 protections that they have.
So I definitely think people should consider this.
You mentioned, you know, sort of talking about what you can actually do there.
Now, you've said before you're not going to lead an army of liberalists down to YouTube headquarters, whereas a socialist would.
Yes.
You might be wrong, though.
I remember I was speaking to some guys from the Free Speech Union.
I was thinking, look, if they keep getting away with this, I mean, YouTube's headquarters in the UK is just opposite Palington Station.
And people do go down there, and there was a group that protested, what was it, those grime videos, whatever it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they got a win.
YouTube buckled on it, just because a small protest outside their office.
Right, okay.
I'm just saying, as an idea.
Protesting is your democratic right as well.
Easy.
Vaccine-related death and infertility not allowed to be discussed, just like voter fraud a few months ago.
This feels like preemptive gaslighting.
It's dominance.
That's what this is.
This is an assertion of dominance.
We will tell you what you are allowed to say and we'll punish you if you don't.
It's tyrannical.
Just openly tyrannical.
I'd sent your emails to my father's email address.
I'd love if your website could cover how he was sent to jail for what other people have posted on Facebook.
Right, I don't know anything about this, but...
We'll check the email for us.
Yeah.
Oh, we do have it.
We do have it.
Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
Right, okay, yeah.
Robert Dune says, please briefly tell the Yank audience about the genius that was Peter Cook, greatest satirist since Twain, and best since himself.
Cheers, mate.
I actually don't know who Peter Cook is.
I don't know either.
I'm Googling that.
Yeah.
Titanic says, have you seen Edward Solomon's channel?
He's one of Sidney Powell's Affians.
He's proved mathematically that Dominion machines were flipping votes in Georgia, now he's working in Pennsylvania.
I haven't seen that, I'm afraid, and YouTube would disavow that message we've sent.
Someone with a gibberish name says, Well, basically, when we have enough people that we can confidently divest, I'm not against the idea at all.
How to encourage peeps to move away from YouTube.
I don't know.
I mean, the problem is that's where everyone is.
And Lotus Eater app when?
Not in the near future.
But again, just the scope of things that we can do is based on the amount of subscribers we have on the website.
So the more people we have subscribing, the more we can do.
But anyway, in the meantime, thank you very much, everyone, for joining us.
And we will be back tomorrow covering whatever it is that we're not allowed to cover, I guess, until we get deplatformed.
So we'll see you tomorrow.
And in the meantime, if you want to go to lotuses.com, you can go and check that out.
We've got loads of extra content on there that you can't find anywhere else.
