What's the point of these people if they're just repeating whatever's coming from them with, uh, no critical thought and just selling it.

Just for the sake of accuracy, I'm not sure if it's a permanent ban or they just denied him entry for this particular occasion.

And unclear if he wanted to go as a tourist for a different occasion, if they would approve it.

Sure, sure, sure.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's fair.

Yeah.

Well, they're atrocious at propaganda, but they're very good at the actual government legislation side of things.

And they, you know, are decent at the internet censorship with purchasing TikTok.

I mean, generally speaking, they're losing the war.

But I think this falls into the old world mentality a little bit of...

if you buy your media and opinions from official channels, this does boost the credibility of, oh, this guy's dangerous.

This person's so dangerous, the UK wouldn't let him in for a speech.

And you accumulate enough of these badges of this person's dangerous or look how dangerous his perspective is.

In an old world, that could kind of work to trick normies that this person either needs to be censored as actually a dangerous person, has radical opinions, et cetera, et cetera.

in the podcast landscape that's just not working and i guess uh in that regard you know they're still they're still trying old tricks think about it 20 years ago if you heard oh wow there's an american media broadcaster saying things so horrible the uk won't let him in and you can't actually go you know what i mean you can't readily access his materials you might go wow that guy must be a real horrible person like that could have worked on you it doesn't work now but yeah you know who knows who knows what more censorship they can pair it with though and suddenly it's no you're look you're right

And luckily in this case, they're not, I mean, for, I don't mean luckily, they're not going to have to own it because they, I think the official reason was it was against the public good.

I don't know that they further explained that.

I saw somewhere, I guess, that it was that there's already too much anti-Semitism in the country.

But typically speaking, you know, Donald Trump might go, who the fuck do you think you are?
