Hello everyone. I'm Nathan Rich, AKA Hotpot King. Today, I want to talk to you
yet again about the YouTuber Sargon of Akkad.
In the last video we talked about how he created his own reality and then
imagined that facts were correct and just told all of his fans that that was
the case. This time, we're going to talk about another one of his videos
called "China Lied and People Died." So let's take a look at what Sargon of
Akkad thinks China lied about.
So he starts out by talking about the United Kingdom and the United States,
and he's going to defend their job and say they're doing a great job.
So let's hear.
The United States, too.
We're handling it really badly.
That's just not true. We're not handling it really badly.
Spain, Belgium and Italy and France seem to be most affected, with the United
Kingdom at fourth place, and the United States way down at eighth place.
Wow. Eighth from last and fourth from last, out of like 200 countries.
I don't know if you're into math or anything, but that's not doing pretty
good. That's horrible.
If you scored that on a test in school, that would just be a zero.
That's way lower than an F.
So I don't know what you mean by you're tired of this narrative that they're
not doing a good job. This is the worst possible job other than four or seven
other countries. This is the most desperate attempt I've ever seen by
somebody. China's numbers are not real.
They are going to be lies.
They're going to be fabrications from the Chinese Communist Party in order to
make themselves look less bad than they should do.
Ugh, those communists. They lie about everything.
I mean, doesn't seem like they're lying because everything's going back to
normal and everyone seems fine and it's all picking up again.
But I'll take your word for it.
They're lying. Everyone in China is dying.
That makes you instead of number four and number eight or whatever you said,
now you're number five and number nine.
I mean, you're still doing pathetically bad.
What are you talking about? My country is suffering and you're going, "oh,
they're doing a great job." They took months to do anything about it and they
still haven't done as much as China did months ago.
Wuhan, quarantined, when there was a thousand cases in all of China.
There was 20,000 cases in New York State before New York City didn't even
quarantine. They just had stay at home orders.
Well are you talking about? This is not rocket science, dude.
The West is massively failing this test.
Horribly. Months of notice, tons of inactivity.
You know why I haven't done a timeline for the United States' reaction to the
COVID-19 outbreak yet?
Honestly, it is so bad that I'm trying desperately to add good things to it,
because I know that no one is going to believe how horrible it is when I show
it to them. I'm trying to find some good things the United States has done to
fight this virus.
And I can not find any good ones.
It looks so pathetic next to China's reaction to this.
I actually feel bad about my own country.
I don't want it to be that bad.
And people like you are perpetuating this idea that we're doing great as
you're literally in the bottom five percent of all countries.
What is wrong with you, dude?
We are not handling this the worst.
And that's a narrative that I'm very tired of hearing at this point.
Yeah, it's not the worst.
It's 98 percent the worst.
Two percent of the countries are doing worse than you.
Good job. China knew.
The Chinese Communist Party knew for six days that there was a likely pandemic
coming out of Wuhan. They knew about the virus.
They were informed.
They had this information.
And they sat on it for six days.
If this isn't deliberate, then it's negligence of the highest order, is it
not? I actually have to go back and watch your old videos and try to
understand why I thought some of them were good, because this is pathetic.
Did you even read the thing that you're looking at?
I don't even know where to start with this.
Six days is nothing, dude.
That is zero compared to how much the United States and the United Kingdom has
lagged and lagged, month after month, doing nothing at all but telling people
not to wear masks and having huge gatherings of people and telling everybody
that the flu is more dangerous than the coronavirus.
Six days is nothing.
But let's just assume that we really care about these six days, OK?
Let's let's forget all that.
Six days. Oh, that's a big deal.
Did you read what you're telling the whole world about?
It says that from the 14th of January to the 20th of January, those are the
six days. Now, the 14th of January, we already knew that there was a
possibility of human to human transmission.
That was reported. We already knew that there was a family that seemed to be
showing human to human transmission, but it wasn't clear if that's what was
happening because the mother could have infected them via preparing meat or
other ways. So there was evidence, but it wasn't clear.
And the thing that you're saying that they knew is, and I'm quoting here,
"clustered cases suggests that human to human transmission is possible."
That's what this report says that they knew on the 14th.
You know who else knew that on the 14th?
Every one in the world, dude.
It was already released.
This is public information on the 14th.
That's day zero of these six days.
So on the 20th, when they told people, "yes, definitely there has been human
to human transmission," that's because they had confirmed it.
There was clear evidence that it had happened.
And by the way, the 31st of December is when they said that they couldn't
rule out human to human transmission.
The Chinese government has never that I'm aware of ever said "there is no
human to human transmission of this virus or disease." They've always said
"there's not clear enough evidence.
Here's a family that looks like it might be that, but that's not clear
evidence. We're not sure yet.
Okay. Now we're sure." The World Health Organization is absolutely no better
in this regard. If for some reason decided to ignore Taiwan's warnings about
this outbreak.
They gave them warnings and the World Health Organization said, "shut up, you
counterrevolutionaries." People like you who don't read what they're saying
are so funny because what you've actually done is you've just inadvertently
exposed the fact that China warned the world about this on the 31st of
December. I know you don't know what I'm talking about because you didn't
bother reading what you said was true.
But here's the actual truth of what happened, according to what you're
talking about. It's not my words.
On December 31st, like I said, the Wuhan Health Commission said that they
were treating patients in isolation.
The letter that you're talking about was basically just a translation of
that. This is what it says.
Health authorities replied to the media that "the cases were believed not to
be SARs. However, the samples are still under examination and cases have been
isolated for treatment.
" Are you waiting for more? That's it.
That's what they're saying.
So what is this whole like, "Oh, they warned them" thing?
This thing that happened recently of someone saying "If being treated in
isolation isn't a warning, then what is?" Where did that information come
from that they're being treated in isolation?
From the Chinese government.
The Wuhan Health Commission, on the 31st of December.
The "warning that nobody listened to" was actually a warning from China that
everyone listened to, except for Donald Trump, apparently.
You've just embarrassed yourself so horribly by bringing that up.
Didn't listen to the warning...
from China!
Exactly. This is because of China.
China did this. China sat on the knowledge.
It came out of Chinese wet markets, to the best of our knowledge, these
disgusting, unsanitary, wet markets.
The Chinese state knew about it for six days and did nothing.
They refused to quarantine Wuhan.
There was a giant festival that went on in this time.
And they were like, "Yeah, no, just let it go on.
Doesn't matter if we've got a deadly pandemic on our hands.
Just let it happen. Let's let this go wherever it goes."
Honestly. I saw some semblance of your old self there where you almost tried
to say like, "Oh, I mean, at least we think it started in wet markets.
" Old ghost of the past.
When you actually cared about objectivity and facts, barely clinging on,
trying to get you to, "hey, remember when, like, you couldn't just ramble
about anything, you actually had to say things that were factual for your own
sense of pride or responsibility?"
But I guess that part of you is on its last breath because what you're acting
like is the worst thing in the entire world is a gathering of people in Wuhan
when there were 94 cases.
Wow, you must really, really be pissed at the millions and millions and
millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people in the
United States and the UK who have been congregating with no masks, because
the government told them not to wear any for months after way more cases than
this were all over the place, and they knew it was transmissible, and they
knew all this whole history with China.
Wow, you must be XXXX pissed about that.
But for some reason, I don't see anything on your channel complaining that
Trump's government or Boris's government is allowing everybody to do that.
You're just complaining about when there was 94 cases and a gathering of
people that shouldn't have happened, that the local government was already
punished for. And you don't even mentioned that a couple of days before that
banquet, the even bigger scandal by a thousand fold is that the United States
turned down testing kits and said, "oh, we have our own," and then nobody
could get tested for a month while millions and millions and millions of
people in our countries were going around congregating in huge groups,
creating brand new clusters to get everybody infected and dead.
Thanks, Donald Trump.
I mean, you haven't focused on that much.
Why is that, Sargon?
There's evidence that they knew there was this was known about as far back as
November last year.
And yet they did nothing.
Another lie. There's zero evidence that I'm aware of that anybody in the
government knew about this in November, as I've covered several times on my
channel. Unless you have some facts to back that up, you better stop
spreading lies.
All there is about November is one alleged case from papers that nobody can
read. And that article doesn't claim that the government knew about it.
In fact, it says that they didn't know about it.
So, again, you're lying.
And this last time probably decided the difference being the local versus a
global pandemic. That's it.
That's all we need to say. The rest of the apologism is out the window.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because you've asserted something without proof.
It doesn't matter how bad the UK and the US are doing.
Just blame China.
And to think earlier, didn't you say something about not being an ideologue,
or? ...classic.
If there aren't consequences
for what China has done here, I'm gonna be furious.
There bloody well should be consequences.
Consequences for what?
It just sounds like you're jealous.
I mean, China is obviously, obviously the country that has dealt with this
the best, hands down.
Especially compared to the countries that we're talking about.
Maybe there's a small island country somewhere that, I don't know, they never
got it. That's pretty good.
China has done an amazing job, an amazing job of dealing with this outbreak.
That's not just my opinion.
Compare it. Compare it to any timeline.
Compare their timeline to the United States' timeline, and it is embarrassing.
It is very, very embarrassing.
Apart from the communists,
everyone agrees that this is China's fault.
I'm not a communist and I don't agree that it's China's fault.
Why would it be China's fault?
As soon as they knew something was happening, they told the entire world.
It's not their fault that Trump ignored them.
It's not their fault that Boris ignored them.
Why would this be their fault?
I don't understand. Show me some actual facts to backup what you're talking
about, because you're just "yap, yap, yap...we should hate them...
yap, yap, yap... we should punish them.
There should be consequences for what they did." What did they do?
"Well, they did that." No, they didn't.
"They did this." No, they didn't do that either.
You're just pushing this weird neo-con narrative and you're ignoring all the
actual facts. It's very strange.
So Trump did the sensible thing.
We're going to stop giving the World Health Organization money.
Good. Stop paying the WHO.
I don't care.
If anything, now, maybe they'll be a little more honest about the horrible job
that the United States and the United Kingdom have done in dealing with this
outbreak. I mean, totally detestable, embarrassing, blood-on-their-hands bad.
It's really, really bad, dude.
And the WHO has been so in their pocket, it's ridiculous.
It's the single largest payer behind the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
And Bill Gates is screeching about this, too.
Ah, yes, Bill Gates, creator of some good operating systems, some bad ones,
and probably the most charitable person that has ever walked the Earth.
I think he's literally saved more lives than most of the people that we think
of as life savers put together.
I'm sure we agree on that, right?
Fuck Bill Gates.
Wow. Who do we like again?
I'm confused. We don't like people that save maybe millions of lives?
We don't like those people, because why again?
Because they fund the World Health Organization whose mission is to save
lives? Have you ever seen that skit where there's like Nazis on a battlefield
or something and they're like talking about if they're the good guys or not?
Hans, I've just noticed something.
These communists are all cowards.
Have you looked at our caps recently? They've got skulls on them.
Are we the baddies?
Do you ever that feeling, Sargon, when you're demonizing people that literally
their entire job is to save lives, and then you're calling to increase hate
crimes for no clear reason...
I mean, do you ever get the sense, like "maybe I'm on actually the wrong side
of things?" The World Health Organization got people killed.
They should have been raising the alarm.
Day one back in December when Taiwan was like "No, guys, you really wanna
listen to this. We've got something to tell you."
Yeah, they already knew that.
China said that to the entire world.
They don't need another email or a memo telling them what the website says.
They know. That's what all of this stuff was based on.
So what do you want them to do?
"Yeah. Uh-huh. Why are you sending us this?
We already have the translation.
We don't need another translation.
Thanks." Then he goes on and on about the Chinese government and how
everything in the world is their fault.
And then he says, "What are we defending China for?
It's an awful place."
Man you are just such a kind person, Sargon.
I don't understand why anybody wouldn't like you.
I mean, I've got two videos here that I just chose at random.
And there are no facts in them.
None. You're just literally gliding over headlines, spreading a little bit of
hate, giving no valid reasons to do so, slamming people who save millions of
lives and then saying that we should blame and punish people.
But I guess you're very clear with your feelings - you hate China.
And I'm sure that's based on a vast wealth of actual experience here.
I mean, it's not like you would be so low as to talk this much crap about a
place that you've never even been, right?
And the only reason it seems that it gets defended by people in the media is
because of the ideological solidarity with communism.
Or ... the ideological solidarity with facts, which you have abandoned
completely. Well it's just another formerly popular YouTube who's really gone
down the drains. I mean, maybe I'm being too hard on him.
I know he doesn't want to talk about this, but on the other hand, he is
talking about this.
And he's mostly just talking rubbish.
As usual, these people have no facts.
They're just speaking from the heart about things that they just "know"
magically without anything backing them up.
Well, until next time.
Thanks, everybody. Xiexie.
