And what they're doing is NOT the correct use of copyright law. We are practicing "fair use and commentary," as news always does. Nothing we're doing in showing a clip of a show is illegal.
NONE of it is AT ALL ILLEGAL under our copyright regime.
But because Youtube acts as though it is, and anyone younger than 45 or so does not understand copyright, it is now de facto illegal. Because people believe it is.
This is also how we lost our Constitutional rights.
Josh, I learned a long time ago that even though they say “copyright”, it’s not copyright. Google has entered into bilateral agreements with the big media firms so that the media firms can put their stuff on YouTube and get monetized, but in exchange, YouTube has to follow the media firms’ desires on what can and cannot be shown. So it’s all about these contractual agreements between Google and the media firms, agreements that Rumble does not have, that rule these decisions.
I watched the hearing on SB 14 at the Texas Legislature’s House of Representatives on Friday. Rep. Thierry’s speech brought me to tears. It gives me hope that there still might be some modicum of common sense and compassion left on the Democrat side of the room. She was remarkable and I wrote her a note to tell her so. The bill was passed in a bipartisan vote but has one more reading in the House Monday. I pray that it goes through but the Dems throw every trick in the book at us to keep it from passing. 19 amendments were voted down during the 5 hour debate. Rep. Dr. Oliverson defended it like a champ. Stay tuned. Texas may not be so purple after all.
This reminds me of a YouTube video I watched recently, where a guy went around interviewing people in New York. He told people something to the effect of: "There is a 5 year old Hispanic girl who can't transition, because her parents won't allow her to. Will you please sign this petition so that she can get the medical treatment she needs for gender transition?"
Women not only signed the petition, but congratulated the guy for helping abuse this fictional five year old child child. These are modern day left-wing voters. They have zero limits.
I’ve been getting my posts erased on FB. They used to give me warnings, and occasionally blocked me from posting for a while, with an explanation. Now the posts just disappear. I suspect the pushback and online chatter lately regarding the gender issue has got tech companies confused. From what I’ve read and discussed online, this whole thing (gender, CRT, and the censorship industrial complex) is coordinated between government, NGOs, and tech corporations. With all the recent exposure “trans” has gotten, especially the negative stuff like the Nashville school shooting, I bet tech companies are waiting to see what the plan is for handling it.
The other option is that I’ve been labeled a “problem” be a of all my TERFy online activities, so now they’re isolating me by taking my posts down, for a similar effect to shadow banning. I don’t know how likely that is; I only know that’s a thing from the Twitter Files. Maybe something like that is happening to you?
I am shadow banned on YouTube and other social media accounts. On YouTube, they typically hide my posts entirely, or occasionally they'll let others see my posts when I'm posting to non left-wing channels. Essentially, they silo heretics into echo-chambers, so their ideas can't spread anywhere.
In academia, they actually brag about this strategy. Look up Herbert Marcuse's "Repressive Tolerance". That's their playbook. They teach it as though it's some sort of a profound idea, but all it amounts to is that their political enemies can't be allowed to speak, because they might win -- and therefore they must be silenced and not given a platform.
Hi, Josh -- Thanks for a sterling episode of 'Disaffected' this week [Sun May 14, 2023]! And for your uncompromising, bracing 'No Bridge Too Far' Substack post, too. Dare I show either to my (Ivy-league-bubble college town 'comm-yoo-ni-tee') friends and colleagues? Maybe it’s worth a try, because 'Disaffected' delivers a weekly boost of courage with its delicious mix of anguish, wit, journalistic probity, mockery, eagle-eyed grammarian exactitude, and ethical clarity; its unblinking stare into the abyss, its antic turns, grown-up no-baloney humane values, and its compassion. There’s nothing else out there like it. Those who have found you see you, and we honor you, Josh. Kevin's flawlessly professional production makes it all shine. It's a class act! I might have to sneak your 'No Bridge Too Far" column into friends' New York Times (RIP the Grey Lady that was), and even then they'll misconstrue the headline as "This 'No Bridge Too Far' Called My Back." How is it that their ideologies have not budged since 'This Bridge Called My Back' was on every college reading list in the 1980s? (The tone of that title has not aged well: a line of bad Cluster-B dialogue, an outtake from 'Mildred Pierce' or 'Mommy, Dearest'? I can hear you Joan-Crawfording it up with panache.) But there is hope. Sunday night is 'Disaffected' night, and it makes Monday morning's fresh idiocies and complacencies easier to face. Bravo! Courage! Eyeliner and blush! Your work is important, real, and valued. And funny as hell, which matters. Tell that to YouTube.
I fucking hate Google with a white-hot passion. They are the most evil company on Earth.

If it's blocked, it's bound to be good!
It's on YouTube -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q28QMWm_saA
That's going to be me live at 9 to catch people and redirect them to Rumble.
The show is *not* on Youtube. You're only seeing the advert because I we need to get viewer's attention:)

Here is the video. Correction...he was at UCLA.

Lovely. Yeah, that’s what I thought. So arrogant.
