The Spectacle Podcast Episode That YouTube Doesn’t Want You To See

On Tuesday, American Spectator publisher Melissa Mackenzie and I recorded the latest episode of The Spectacle Podcast, talking about various subjects including the stalemate in the House of Representatives and Kevin McCarthy’s difficulties in getting to 218 votes and a majority.

But another topic we covered led to trouble with our Big Tech overlords.

We discussed the subject everybody has been talking about since that horrific scene in Cincinnati Monday night when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after taking a hit to the chest from Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins while trying to tackle him. Hamlin got up from the hit but a couple of seconds later he crumpled lifelessly onto the turf. Hamlin’s heart stopped, and for several minutes medical personnel gave him CPR before whisking him away to the hospital.

The popular diagnosis for what happened to Hamlin is something called commotio cordis, a medical event occurring when someone takes a blow to the chest near the heart. The effect of commotio cordis is something like a concussion to the head, but it’s far more dangerous; a concussed heart might stop, and if it doesn’t start back up quickly then oxygen won’t get to the brain and permanent damage will result.

The medical personnel on the scene saved Damar Hamlin’s life. Our prayers for him have been answered. Yesterday he woke up and it appears there was no cognitive damage. He even asked who won the game Monday night, not knowing it had been cancelled after his injury.

But what Melissa and I discussed was a report that Hamlin had recently been administered a booster shot of the COVID vaccine, and given two things – namely, the startling number of athletes and other fit individuals inexplicably dying since the mass vaccination of the public with this experimental genetic therapy termed a vaccine, and the extreme rarity of an NFL player suffering a commotio cordis injury given the protective equipment they wear – it would be inevitable that the vaccine would be examined as a cause or contributing factor.

And as I said in the podcast, we are not allowed to talk about it.

So the podcast went up on YouTube on Wednesday, and by Thursday morning it had been pulled down by the overlords.

Thankfully, the censors and fascist goons do not control Rumble. We can bring you this week’s episode of The Spectacle Podcast via that video sharing platform, which will be our preferred means of sharing it here at The Hayride from now on.
