On this episode of the Video Cast, we talk about the recent YouTube ban on "lockdowns" and why it's a good thing we're back on the air. Plus, a new segment that's all about lockdowns.
00:01:11.000My name is Seth Downey, coming to you live from Germany.
00:01:14.000I joined Mudd Club when Stephen inspired me to finally stand up for my beliefs, especially since that was my first year on a college campus.
00:01:23.000I want to see you alongside me, fighting like hell.
00:01:27.000I want to see you coming up with solutions.
00:03:30.000and comment share if you can today to let people know because the YouTube algorithm gets rid of you so smash that like button you have that yeah look right there and I want to let you guys know that this show goes on Monday through Thursday period 10 a.m.
00:03:45.000Eastern it's very important that you know if you're if you're looking for it and you don't find it here it's going on somewhere else so you can go over to rumble That's where you can watch the video cast of course Mug Club you get an extra 45 minutes of show Every single day, so that's the best way you can support us because you know YouTube don't pay nothing No, no the show is going on it.
00:04:08.000Just may not be here We have no idea how long it'll go when you start quoting to see they start they start banning us for quoting the CDC stuff By the way, we broke up with you last week, YouTube.
00:07:12.000I donate a ton, but I don't donate when I go to CVS.
00:07:14.000Like, would you like to donate $1 to... You know what?
00:07:18.000I know you're going to sit here and judge me, but I have no idea as to whether it's going to go, let's say, to a local church, or to a Salvation Army, where it's going to help rebuild a roof, or put food on some kid's back, you know, sorry, food on some clothes back, whatever happens.
00:07:30.000Yeah, like your former vice president.
00:07:32.000Uh, put food on some kid's table or clothes on his back or if it's gonna be like Bono's One Foundation who ironically gave less than 1% of all proceeds to actual charity.
00:07:43.000I do the roundup unless it's like 98 cents and then I'm like, no.
00:07:50.000Yeah, but either way, someone's getting a receipt printed at CVS that rivals Circuit City and can circle the equator four times while they talk about their new green policy.
00:08:00.000I toilet-papered my neighbor's house with it on Devil's Night.
00:10:01.000I tell you, though, for a guy with, how can I put this, perky nipples, There's certain shirts that you wear that you just, you don't feel comfortable in?
00:14:08.000But this is a serious question because there's a rumor circulating and we do have some footage that I want to, in totality, It is a pandemic.
00:16:28.000It was primarily used for domestic abusers, and then if your wife beat you, You were also dragged through the street and humiliated because you were a giant pussy.
00:17:38.000I don't know, some rumors have been circling that that guy there is a boyfriend.
00:17:42.000Whether he is or not, Someone needs to get their ass kicked.
00:17:47.000Now the problem is, when you're on a New York subway, look, here's the option.
00:17:50.000If it wasn't being recorded, guy steps in, beats the guy's ass, guess what?
00:17:54.000You're guilty of a hate crime, you lose your Second Amendment rights, and this guy can go out on cashless bail because, as you see, he was trying to set the narrative that she was racist, that she was racist for asking him to take a chill pill.
00:18:04.000The other option is, you do something, and you have a group of black Americans on the subway who kick the crap out of you despite having seen him hit a woman.
00:18:12.000This is a very tough situation, but this is the problem.
00:18:15.000This is the problem with right now in this country, going, uh, uh, I'm a white guy, black guy, man hits woman in the face, by the way, like a bitch, she stays up like a champ, like Jake LaMotta, never got me down!
00:18:27.000You never got me down, you colored subway, uh, subway fella, never got me down!
00:18:32.000That's what she said, so I will say kudos to her.
00:20:36.000We had a zero-tolerance policy, which meant if you were turtling and a guy was wailing on you and you pushed him away, you both got suspended.
00:20:46.000And we've conditioned a generation of men to not stand up for themselves.
00:20:51.000We've conditioned a young generation of men to see everything through the prism of race.
00:20:55.000And we've conditioned a young generation of men to believe that any of their natural masculine urges, including, by the way, that of protecting our women, has been vilified.
00:21:45.000And I swear to you, the one time I stood up to a bully and I was too big of a pansy to punch him in the face because I figured that was, so I just got on top of him and I went Ralphie but kept punching him in the ribs.
00:25:18.000Nobody has ever told that guy, that's the line.
00:25:21.000So I'm not, I don't want this guy to get his butt kicked just For retribution, I want him to know where the line is so that he doesn't do something even worse.
00:25:59.000Before we get to lockdowns didn't work.
00:26:01.000And if there's anything, by the way, specifically, if you guys are watching right now that you think we need to hit right off the bat, we'll be doing a whole Rittenhouse livestream.
00:26:08.000Once they're done with the jury selection, they actually go to trial.
00:26:11.000According to Elon, his new school in Texas will be called the Texas Institute of Technology and Science.
00:26:58.000But then it's like a several billion dollar joke.
00:27:01.000Well, I mean, he can afford to make those kinds of jokes.
00:27:03.000He went into the camera and was like, yes, I want it to be a school for engineering, and it will be called the Texas Institute of Technology and Science.
00:27:38.000Even though they were innocent, which I had no idea until I watched a documentary on a plane and I was like, I've been making guilty jokes.
00:29:11.000This happened last week, this bizarre moment where he was, it looked very much Here's the thing, if you're 97 and you know that people think you're pooping yourself, there are just certain body positions you don't take.
00:31:06.000So she reported that, uh, the suspected reason for Biden's Vatican visit going too long, which seems surprising considering, you know, the guy's meeting with the Pope and he's the most, uh, radically pro-abortion president that we've had, really, him and Obama.
00:31:19.000The word around Rome, she wrote, is that Biden's meeting with the Pope was unusually long because Biden had a bit of a bathroom accident at the Vatican, and it had to be addressed prior to him leaving.
00:31:30.000I know we often joke about this, but this is the actual rumor going around Rome right now.
00:31:37.000And by the way, the Pope was angriest when the Pope found out that Biden took the Popemobile for a joyride.
00:32:33.000I don't know what the police are in the Vatican, but here's the deal, I think he pooped.
00:32:37.000Here's what bothers me too, and by the way this is entirely conjecture, we're going to get to the Virginia race, we're going to get to the lockdowns not working, but what bothers me is the quote is, a bathroom accident.
00:32:49.000Well there's no accident in the bathroom.
00:34:17.000But it's not that he... He didn't say in some way, you know, it's comparable to slavery in the sense that we're locked down in these contracts.
00:34:26.000No, it's an episode of... It's roots It's Roots with a naked gun afro.
00:38:09.000All right, yeah, we're gonna sell him to the highest bidder with pieces on the back end, and of course a signing bonus of a few million dollars.
00:38:27.000Hey, by the way, I don't know if you know this, Colin Kaepernick with the OJ naked gun fro, and not all fros, just his fro is silly, His current Nike deal is worth millions of dollars.
00:38:37.000Keep in mind, Nike lobbied against a bill that was targeting forced labor in Xinjiang.
00:41:08.000And that's that water, in the realm of sports, is the best hydration method there is.
00:41:13.000Which is why here at Lighter with Crowder we're very proud to announce, we have very few sponsors per show, but our current sponsorship agreement with water.
00:41:21.000Did you know Earth is made of 71% water?
00:41:24.000Doctors recommend we drink at least 1.2 liters of water a day, just to be on the safe side.
00:43:15.000We're going to get to this pornography, by the way, showing your children in Virginia in a little bit because it ties into the Virginia race.
00:43:26.000But first, look, this is something we talked about this early on in the pandemic, and I want you to comment below if what your view is on lockdowns, if you thought they were going to work beforehand.
00:43:39.000We believe the two weeks initially made sense, but we didn't lock down.
00:43:44.000We believe that it made sense for, you know, businesses to be able to do that and to get some kind of support for two weeks because we believe they were trying to flatten the curve, but we didn't shut down, just to be clear.
00:43:53.000That being said, I don't know if that makes any sense at all now, looking back even the two weeks, and I think we have enough data to definitively say lockdowns absolutely did not work whatsoever.
00:44:17.000Policies that assure uniform safety for everyone.
00:44:22.000This moment that we direct a statewide order for people to stay at home.
00:44:28.000We are confident that the people of the state of California will abide by it.
00:44:32.000They'll do the right thing, they'll meet this moment, they'll step up over the course of the last number of weeks to protect themselves, to protect their families.
00:47:09.000in economics, Center of Economic Studies, and they looked at many countries, I think it was like 20-something countries.
00:47:14.000The evidence presented here suggests that lockdowns have not significantly affected the development of mortality in Europe, They have nevertheless wreaked economic havoc in most societies and may lead to a substantial number of additional deaths for other reasons.
00:47:25.000The European Journal of Clinical Investigation found, while small benefits cannot be excluded, we do not find
00:47:30.000significant benefits on case growth of more restrictive non-pharmaceutical interventions.
00:47:35.000Similar reductions in case growth may be achievable with less restrictive interventions.
00:47:38.000A University of Chicago study showed the virus spread more in homes than actual workplaces.
00:47:43.000Per capita transmission rates on-site fell dramatically, usually to levels below household transmission.
00:47:53.000Again, the left wants to say, hey, follow the science.
00:47:56.000But then they cite, for example, Fauci one study saying that you're 57 times more likely to die from COVID if you are unvaccinated, which comes from one small scale.
00:48:04.000We did that on Rumble, one small scale study in one county.
00:48:08.000So here's what is most troublesome, is the fact checkers.
00:48:12.000Because if you run a search right now, were lockdowns unsuccessful?
00:48:24.000Our authoritative sources to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, right?
00:48:27.000This study, when you're talking about University of Chicago, when you're talking about someone with a PhD who's done an international meta-analysis, may be fact-checked with misinformation, but then you may have Snopes and you may have Reuters and PolitiFact, and they're not being fact-checked.
00:48:44.000This is why I wanted to do this, so you can see the argument that lockdowns have not worked, And I want to show you the authoritative left sources arguing that lockdowns have worked.
00:48:55.000I want you to see their fact check so that you have both sides of this issue.
00:49:01.000And I would only present this to you if I believed that one was substantially stronger because I don't like doing straw men.
00:49:06.000So this is actually fact checking fact checkers, right?
00:49:14.000So health feedback is one of the authoritative sources for some reason.
00:49:19.000The science editor Sophie Faisal wrote, lockdowns lead to a significant reduction, saying the claim is not really true, a significant reduction in physical interactions between people, which reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and save lives.
00:49:33.000Although lockdowns have also contributed to economic recession and high unemployment rates, they can pay off in the long run.
00:49:38.000And that's because it's saying of how many people who would die had they not been implemented.
00:49:41.000Keep in mind, when this person And we'll get to Reuters and I think PolitiFact in a second.
00:49:47.000When this person wrote this, these other published studies had already been available, but she goes, this authoritative source, she's rebutting studies using data from WalletHub.
00:50:25.000Look, I'm not saying that there's no objective truth.
00:50:28.000What I am saying, though, at this point, and this is why it is more important than ever for you to be informed and for you to look at both sides of the issue here, I'm not saying there is no objective truth.
00:51:39.000They tried locking them down and they didn't find any statistical significance between... Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about the NFL Combining.
00:51:50.000We've known this for over a hundred years, and basically the conclusion from those studies that they did was that a general public lockdown would not be effective.
00:51:58.000Well, and I know that, but what I'm saying is now we have data that is definitive, just to be clear.
00:52:01.000No, I'm saying that they knew it was already there.
00:52:02.000Well, they knew it was, but my point now is they're lying and they're fact-checking.
00:53:51.000So a lot of people use this, you know, they tried to say, oh, we need to flatten the curve, and they pointed to hospitals being at capacity.
00:55:08.000For example, although California's first-in-the-nation shelter-in-place order carries threats of fines and incarcerations, its effectiveness fundamentally relies On social pressure.
00:55:24.000Lockdowns, even by the admission... So in other words, we have all these peer-reviewed journals, all of these published research papers that are available.
00:55:55.000Lee Riley, professor of infectious diseases and vaccinology at UC Berkeley, that's always a good phrase, said the confusion over whether shutdowns work is understandable considering states with some of the toughest mandates are also experiencing the biggest spikes!
00:56:10.000But correlation does not equal causation, so I'm sure Riley, who supports the lockdowns at UC Berkeley, despite not actually doing any kind of in-depth research or analysis, has a strong opinion.
00:56:21.000He says, the problem is when these restrictions are erased, or eased, sorry, or lifted, that's when they see the resurgence, Riley explained.
00:56:29.000This is what people are looking at and saying the restrictions don't work.
00:56:33.000Self check. Uh-huh. Yes. Yes. Like no no no no. Hold on a second. They're saying lockdowns don't work.
00:56:42.000First off, I'm not even going to address the data because I am the science.
00:56:48.000Second, they just think that they don't work because once the lockdowns stop, they don't work.
00:57:14.000The problem is when these restrictions are eased or lifted, that's when we see the resurgence.
00:57:18.000So the problem is once we stop the lockdowns and then, you know, we get more than ever, that's what these fake news people are trying to use to say that the lockdowns don't work.
00:57:34.000By the way, we can just look at some of the Scandinavian Nordic countries that didn't do severe lockdowns and their curves look pretty similar to the rest of Europe.
00:57:45.000Florida went from worst at one point to best and Florida also had one of the highest vaccination rates.
00:57:49.000Look, I used to say this, we definitively cannot say that lockdowns make things worse.
00:57:54.000But we can absolutely say that they have had a horrible impact on the economy.
00:58:00.000They've had a horrible impact on auxiliary deaths, from people being depressed, from substance abuse, from people being isolated, and we certainly can't say That they are more effective than places that didn't lock down.
00:58:13.000We now can say definitively that they did not work at all in their intended purpose and they have had many catastrophic effects.
00:58:20.000Let me list off a few for you so you have the actual numbers.
01:04:05.000By the way, with all the new people in poverty, capitalism has its work cut out for it, because that's the only thing that's going to lift them back out of poverty.
01:05:20.000My point here is, people try to separate... He has goats in his kitchen, let's just point that out real quick.
01:05:24.000People try and separate freedoms, right?
01:05:27.000You screw your freedoms, It's because we also understand that long-term, it's like the stock market.
01:05:33.000I don't know if you've seen this, but the monkey walk, monkey throwing, I think it was they had several competitions they've had where they've had these expert stockbrokers, hedge fund managers, and then they just had one where a cat walked across, I believe it was a board, they had one where like a monkey something with a walk or throwing darts, random.
01:05:49.000Statistical random did better long-term than these experts.
01:06:15.000By the way, with commas in specific portions when you're talking about the Second Amendment, when you're talking about the Bill of Rights.
01:06:24.000It's very clear now, we see statistically, from the data, that if we'd have just stuck with freedom, it might have been a little bit painful there, and you got In the early going.
01:06:32.000But long term, we would be better off.
01:06:35.000And the left tries to separate, oh, at what point do your freedoms and then interfere with X?
01:08:21.000Virginia, everybody, you guys are going to do both.
01:08:23.000So if you're watching right now in Virginia, go out and vote.
01:08:26.000Make sure you do not let McAuliffe become the And a really important thing, too, is that there's a kind of a conflict going on in Virginia about the educational system and how they've handled not only the rape case, but there have been a lot of controversies that have appeared recently.
01:08:39.000Yeah, multiple have popped up recently.
01:08:41.000And we're going to read some of this, so we'll just show you... I don't want to, but we are.
01:08:44.000We are, but we'll just show you the reaction now because parents, or as the FBI categorizes them, domestic terrorists at local meetings in the county of Fairfax are pissed.
01:09:45.000By the way, when someone says, I'm going to finish my time, if I were, for example, if I were in the Senate or if I were there and one of those there was like, I yield my time, I would have at the ready, no time left for you.
01:09:54.000They'd be like, I'm going to use my, I got.
01:15:05.000But another thing that they're pissed about is that the Democratic guy running for governor, McAuliffe, said parents shouldn't make decisions about their children's education.
01:15:13.000Yeah, no, you shouldn't have any say in whether your kids read ads for bullet vibrators and strap-on fellatio.
01:18:03.000So the media was ready to step in to help McAuliffe, and actually we have NBC reported on a group carrying, and this is the stupidest thing I've seen all weekend, a group carrying tiki torches in support of Youngkin, they say, in Charlottesville.
01:18:17.000right? I mean because Charlottesville we all know where Donald Trump was raised.
01:18:21.000And the communication director Jen Goodman tweeted, even tweeted, McAuliffe's
01:18:24.000communication director, this is disgusting and disqualifying.
01:18:28.000But wait for it, it turns out they were actually sent by the peto
01:19:38.000The Lincoln Project operatives, you found that out by Twitter and other people saying, hey, wait a minute, hold on, these guys aren't real.
01:19:43.000And then the media's like, well, they say it's fake, there's no way it's fake.
01:20:38.000Because everyone has a line as far as what is determined to be sexually moral, and not what you do in your own bedroom, but what is determined to be acceptable in society at large.
01:20:50.000And when we are talking about right now, for example, this being given to your kids.
01:20:56.000And let me just, this right here, look, this is something that is available in Fairfax County, okay?
01:21:01.000Hardcore pornography, and not even softcore.
01:21:05.000That's a penis going into a child's mouth, to be clear.
01:21:10.000And then you think about the fact that the Lincoln Project was found grooming children.
01:21:13.000Then you think about the fact that one of our first viral columns at LotteryWorthCredit.com was Salon had an article, I'm a pedophile but I'm not a monster.
01:21:21.000We did some background work, found that this person was actively grooming a child and wrote, no, you're a pedophile and you are a monster.
01:21:26.000When you then look at Kyle Rittenhouse, can't be chased by someone and shoot them without hitting serial pedophiles.
01:21:36.000You do have to say that the hyper-sexualization and normalization of sexualization of children Cuties!
01:21:47.000I don't know that anyone is doing it deliberately, but it truly is sick, it's twisted, and we are in the middle, right now, of pedophilic relations.
01:22:25.000You follow Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram.
01:22:31.000You go to school, and this is what you read.
01:22:33.000And your teachers, that's what they tell you, and you tune into news on Pride Month, this is what you're seeing.
01:22:38.000You're going to tell me that these kids are not going to have a fundamentally different worldview, sexually, than you or your parents?
01:22:49.000And it's why, parents, you've got to get to your kids young.
01:22:51.000You've got to get to your kids and have that talk with them young so that they understand at least whatever it is that you believe the confines should be sexually with your kids.
01:23:19.000My dad, I was talking with him about the conversation that, you know, kinda he had with me when I learned it as a kid.
01:23:23.000Hold on a second, I'm gonna tell my son, tell my daughter, when they grow up to know what are good pictures and bad pictures of a stranger gives them, what if they were handed this?
