afford anything then somebody who uh lived in russia and so the the media they get there is obviously very state heavy very very state propaganda driven but people know that so they filter it out and i think the same has happened in the west when people read the papers here when people read the guardian they're filtering it they know it's like it's it's biased propaganda i absolutely hope so but uh but interestingly the people who are happy with joe biden are everyone outside of the united states around the world watching america crumble is very very positive for those countries that hate america and that's bizarre because it's not as if americans had any like uh overseas um victories like afghanistan was a disaster oh yeah absolutely and i couldn't even find the time to shove that in here either obviously um but uh the this is the thing apparently biden's median approval rating across NUMBER_TOKEN different countries is NUMBER_TOKEN whereas trump's was NUMBER_TOKEN why because trump was acting in american interest and making america strong and great again meaning they were all salty about it and biden's making america weak and failing and so they're all thrilled about it yeah and also i mean i'm not sure how much uh i believe that i think i think more people like trump than than let on i think so too yeah yeah i think so too but the the people polled yeah uh you know don't say that but the people willing to speak to uh to a polling agency which is the only people who ever get pulled if you enjoyed that segment from the podcast the lotus eaters you can watch the full thing NUMBER_TOKENpm every weekday at lotus URL_TOKEN or you can sign up to get access to all the premium content we have on the site yeah we've got loads of really good stuff every week we have a contemplations and epochs episode that goes up and in the contemplations we talk about just interesting things and uh the epochs episodes are probably my favorite because i love talking about history uh this latest one is we're doing a bit of a series on the hundred years war and uh why england kept winning and we're not finished it yet and you're going to really enjoy the end of that one but we've also got uh other excellent episodes that we do like the book club the most recent one was shooting an elephant by george orwell this was about his time in burma as a colonial officer and when he was tasked with the shooting of a rampaging elephant and it's really really interesting uh what the circumstance of the thing was but we also have lots of other content such as premium articles which have audio tracks on them for our silver and gold subscribers and we do premium podcasts about things that we don't really feel that we can put on youtube or have done a particularly large amount of research into and so it's uh it's worth keeping them uh slightly more private and we also do lots of very interesting interviews such as this one with comedian steve hughes which was really fascinating because i didn't expect him to be a philosopher but anyway yeah also the last thing to mention is the live event content we have so we occasionally when we get around to it doing our live
