1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Forget shadow banning. That is what many conservatives thought were 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: happening to them on Twitter, and I'm sure now at Facebook, 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: Google and YouTube, well now we are have been vindicated. 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: For years and years, conservatives like myself have said that 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: we have been shadow banded. What does shadow banning mean? 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: It means, yes, you're on a platform like Twitter, but 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: you don't really exist. Your tweets aren't shown to other people, 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: and it is impossible for what you tweet out to 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: actually go viral. In other words, they're saying, we don't 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: like what you're saying, so we're gonna suppress what you're saying. 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: Big tree falls in the forest, no one's around. Did 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: it actually make a sound? Well, forget shadow banning. It 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: was worse than what we even thought. Now Twitter we 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: know had an entire blacklist, and I am assuming, based 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: on what we have seen over the last twenty four hours, 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: that I and many other conservatives are on the list. 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: The second installment of the Twitter files revealing Twitter's secret blacklists, 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: was dropped on Thursday night. Not too long after taking 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: over Twitter, billionaire Elon Muss pledged to release the documents 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: showing how under the company's previous ownership Twitter engaged in 21 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: the suppression of free speech. These three documents are now 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: referred to as the quote Twitter Files. We have known 23 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: now for quite some time that conservatives went from having 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: the normal ability to reach people to being completely silenced 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: on the platform. We saw big stories that were silenced. 26 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: We saw big things like the Hunter Biden laptop story 27 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: be banned from being able to be used and even 28 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: shared in private messaging. We saw Twitter, and we know 29 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: this for a fact now they treated people that shared 30 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden story the same way they treated people 31 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: who shared child pornography. That's how much they were tipping 32 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: the scales. Now Elon Musk has just tweeted out that 33 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: quote Twitter is working on a software update that will 34 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: show your true accounts status, so you know clearly if 35 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: you've been shadow band This is going to rock the 36 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: world because you're going to see just how much the 37 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: information was being suppressed by big tech. Now, not only 38 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: did Elon Musk's pledge to release the documents, but we're 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: now getting names. These files have been shared with two 40 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: independent journalists. We saw the first installment that came out 41 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: on December the second, and it covered details surrounding Twitter 42 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. In his first 43 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: tweet of the Twitter Files Part two, this journalist White 44 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: revealed that the entire teams of Twitter employees actually put 45 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: together their own blacklists and in suppress and shadow bann 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: the reach of certain accounts, virtually all of them conservative. 47 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Something of shadow banning it again as the practice of 48 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: suppressing a user on a platform, or a user and 49 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: the information that they're putting out there. It's that simple, Twitter. 50 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: What they were doing was actually much worse than that. 51 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: This was no, by the way, small operation or some 52 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: rogue employee. There are lists and lists and lists, blacklists 53 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: of whole groups of people who Twitter simply decided to 54 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: crush and liberal Former New York Times reporter Why says 55 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: that politics was driving at least part of the operation, 56 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: if not all of it. Let me give you an example. 57 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: One such blacklist user was a Stanford professor. This professor 58 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: had argued that COVID lockdowns were incredibly detrimental to young children, 59 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: an argument that later turned out to be one hundred 60 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: percent correct. Because of this, the professor was put on 61 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: a Trends blacklist, which suppressed the reach of all of 62 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: his tweets indefinitely. This essentially prevented this professor from ever 63 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: trending and the truth that he was telling or the 64 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: questions he was asking from being seen by the masses. Additionally, 65 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: we now know that Life's revealed that conservative talk shows 66 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: Dan biden Gino, a friend of mine, had also been 67 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: placed on a search blacklist. What is a search blacklist? 68 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: It means that you could search for him, but you 69 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: couldn't find him. We also now know that conservative activists, 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: also a friend of mine, Charlie Kirk, had been placed 71 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: on a do not Amplify amplify blacklist after he became 72 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: one of the most engaging Twitter accounts on the entire platform. 73 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: I want you to hear, by the way, what Dan 74 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: Bongino had to say to Sean Hannity reacting to the 75 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: news that he was put on a blacklist where you 76 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: couldn't find him. And by the way, when he saying this, 77 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: for years people said he was a kuk, a conspiracy theorists, 78 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: a crazy and nut job. Back to his words here, 79 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: and he said, the media is complicit and they were 80 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: lying to the American public. They spent a total of 81 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: seven seconds this weekend on the Sunday programs talking about 82 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: this huge story that broke last Friday, or Elon Musk 83 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: himself saying, if you shut down dissenting voices, it is, 84 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: by its very definition, election interference. He even admitted that 85 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: Twitter was acting as the propaganda arm of the Democratic 86 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: Party in this election. Election interference. Now we're not even 87 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: including Meadow or Facebook called Zuckerberg. We're not including Google, 88 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: we're not including Apple, we're not including YouTube. And I 89 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: think that Congress needs to demand that they become as 90 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: transparent as Elon Musk has been come here, and I 91 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit for this. Yeah, listen 92 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: um to Elon Musk. I don't know if you're watching 93 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: or not, but if you see it later, just a 94 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: heartfelt thank you. You know, I was talking to our 95 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: good friend Mark Levin before and his great radio show 96 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: said the same thing. Regardless of the yeah, thank you, Um, 97 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, Sean, regardless of what happens when we look forward, Dan, 98 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: you gotta love Mark. He's the best guest. He's the 99 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: only one that tells you that's it, I'm done, go ahead. 100 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: I know. Hell when he's when you're when you're called 101 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: the great one, you can do that kind of stuff. 102 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: That's why you get mark. But when Elon Musk, you know, well, 103 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: regardless of what happens, he may lose legitimately may lose 104 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: billions of dollars on this acquisition. I don't think he will. 105 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I think he's a creative guy, and I think he's 106 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: gonna build this thing out to be something special. But 107 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: he has done a service to this country. He had 108 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: He has literally, not figuratively changed the history of I 109 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: think how big tech is going to operate moving forward. 110 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: He's exposed one key point. I want the audio. It's 111 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: understands that what the press did to collude and interfere 112 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: and potentially fleeced the twenty twenty election away from Donald 113 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: Trump based on based on solid data a polling taken 114 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: afterwards about how people would have voted if they would 115 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: have known about the hunter Biden's story. But not get 116 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: into any other stuff. I'm talking strictly about that the 117 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: media intentionally did that. Sean, this is my point. This 118 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: wasn't misfeasance, right. Misfeasance is different. You see someone trip 119 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: on the sidewalk in front of you, you don't help him, 120 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: that's misfeasance. That's not what this was. This was malfeasance. 121 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: A guy trips on the sidewalk in front of you 122 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: and you kick him in the teeth as he's getting up. 123 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: They did this on purpose. This was active collusion between 124 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: the FBI, people in the DHS, the d NI people 125 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: at the FEC who had heard about this stuff, Twitter, 126 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: and big tech to steal away your country. And you 127 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: know what, listen to me, folks, They did it, and 128 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,559 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is trying to help you get it back 129 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: to the Republicans in Congress who now are about to 130 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: take over in January, you better grow some moose nuts 131 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: and you better do something about this, or we're not 132 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: going to have a damn country left. This is the 133 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: public Square. I love Fox News and I love working here, 134 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: but Sean, even though we have the biggest shows in primetime, 135 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: it's still just a small population of America. We cannot 136 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: win an election in the future with just Fox News. 137 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: You need Twitter to be open, you need Facebook to 138 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: be open, you need these other platforms. It's why I 139 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: put my money behind these other things too, because, like 140 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: you said, I'm trying to build this parallel economy out 141 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I'm public Enemy number one to these 142 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: guys showing I don't know, but I'm telling you. I 143 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: promise you as I don't whine about it every day 144 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: on my show because I'm not a snowflake. You have 145 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: no idea what goes on behind the scenes with Facebook 146 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: fact checking my page over nonsense, Google banning US, YouTube 147 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: banning US, Twitter shadow banning us. It's relentless. It never stops. 148 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: They put a guitar, get on my back for a 149 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: long time. Now, Dan Bongino's right, by the way, He's 150 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: absolutely right what's happening. And he's not the only one 151 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: that was affected this way. One of the other people 152 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: that was affected in a major way that is a name, 153 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: a man by the name of Charlie Kirk. Now, Charlie 154 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Kirk had a very active Twitter account. He had a 155 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: massive amount of engagement at Twitter. And the reason why 156 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: he had that engage is because he was connecting with 157 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: young people and conservatives and they was trying to build 158 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: a conservative base to fight back against liberals and schools 159 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: and colleges, woke professors and all that they were involved 160 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: in in public education. He was taking on universities around 161 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: the country and these Twitter bomb shelf files Part two 162 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: prove what all conservatives have long been not just suspected 163 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: of it, but had been accusing Twitter and big tech 164 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: of doing. You get on a list, and I believe 165 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: I was on this list because our Twitter reach just 166 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: died overnight. We went from a half million followers to 167 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty something thousand, and it didn't move 168 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: for four years. And a tweet for us would be 169 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: a good tweet if it got ten people that retweeted it. 170 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: Ten people, that's it. Charlie Kirk found out he was targeted. 171 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: All of his suspicions were true. Right he was a 172 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. No, no no, no, he wasn't a conspiracy theorist 173 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: because he saw it in real time, just like I did. 174 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk is someone else who apparently was censored by Twitter, 175 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: as the founder in president of Turning Point USA. We 176 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: just told you that. Barry Weie a few moments ago 177 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: reported that internally Twitter censors set Charlie Kirk's account to 178 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: do not amplify status. Charlie Kirk joins us right now, Charlie, 179 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: thanks so much for coming on. You're just hearing this too. 180 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: I mean, this just happened. This is happening in fact, 181 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: as we talked about it. But do you have any 182 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: idea which of your tweets set this censorship in motion? 183 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: I could probably guess. You know, a couple of years ago, 184 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: Axios did a study that showed that our Twitter account 185 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: had was the fourth most engaged Twitter account on the planet, 186 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: right up there with President Trump. I mean, I've been 187 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: using Twitter for a decade. Happened to understand it really well, 188 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: and we were averaging one hundred and fifteen thousand retweets 189 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: a day when we were really at our peak, and 190 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: we would talk about, for example, in the midst of 191 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: the virus, how lockdowns might not be the best decision. 192 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: We started talking about how hey, I asked the question, 193 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: are there other treatments that we might want to talk about? 194 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: So it could have been that. But then all of 195 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: a sudden, we saw off a cliff. Almost immediately, our engagement, 196 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: our retweets disappear. I started to talk about this a 197 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: lot Tucker, and I was called the conspiracy theorist. I 198 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: was smeared and I started the email crazy, yes exactly, 199 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: well you're quot I'm like, wait, hold on a second. 200 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: I used to get one hundred fifteen thousand retweets. And 201 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: then it's kind of one of those things, right Tucker, 202 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: where they convince you to stop talking about it because 203 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: you sound like, Okay, who cares about your Twitter account? 204 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: Not a big deal. And now you see actual verified 205 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: documents where my Twitter account was labeled as do not 206 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: amplify NSFW, which I could only fir means not safe 207 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: for work, other like threat tags. They're treating my Twitter 208 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: account with more scrutiny and censorship than the Prime Minister 209 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,239 Speaker 1: of Iran than hamas the people that do actual terroristic 210 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: type damage. And now we have evidence to show that's 211 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: exactly why my Twitter A count the last couple of 212 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: years has been down ninety five percent in engagement. They 213 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: saw what I had to say as a direct threat 214 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: to the regime. You think about what Charlie Kirk just 215 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: said there about he has a Twitter account that is silenced. 216 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: But the terrorists in al Qaeda, in the Taliban, in Iran, 217 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: they don't have their tweets silence or censored. The regime 218 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: in China and in Russia do not have their tweet 219 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: silence because if you went after any of them and 220 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: you silenced them, then they would in that country say fine, 221 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: we're going to ban the terms of use of service 222 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Don't think China wouldn't do that in one second. 223 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: But in America, Charlie Kirk can only do what I did, right, 224 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: I know I'm being censored, and they say, oh, you're 225 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist. And remember they also lied about this. 226 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: I really want to go back and remind you what 227 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: the head of Twitter said about this. Okay, the head 228 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: of Twitter said back in the day that there was 229 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: not shadow banning going on, like this didn't happen. It 230 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: wasn't something that they would ever be doing, and if 231 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: you believed it, you were really considered to be crazy. Dorsey, 232 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: by the way, was also asked not just about shadow banning, 233 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: but also about censoring just in general, like censoring conservative, 234 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: censoring people. He's been lying about this for years. When 235 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: he was a Twitter CEO. He went on the Today 236 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: Show in an exclusive interview. All right, and he went 237 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: on there with Matt Lowerd. This like two pis of 238 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: birds of a feather, you know, flock together, two peas 239 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: in a pod. I mean, this was the ideal person, right, 240 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: You got these two scumbags talking to the American people, 241 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: and trying to make them believe that they don't shadow band, 242 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: they don't censor anyone. Listen, I sent tweet out yesterday 243 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: telling my followers, my measly number of followers that you 244 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: were going to be on and asking what questions they 245 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: would like you asked. There was an enormous outpouring of 246 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: questions about censorship. So let me ask you, point plank. 247 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: Does Twitter censor the content of its users? Does it 248 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: hide what it would consider inflammatory comments, whether they be 249 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: social or political? Absolutely not, Twitter, absolutely not. Okay, all right, 250 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: so think about how long ago, how long ago it 251 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: was when Matt lower was the host of the Today's 252 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: Show years ago, now right, this was a long, long, 253 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: long time ago. And Jack Dorsey is there for this 254 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: one on one and he's asked, so you do this? 255 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Absolutely not, and then he goes on to say this 256 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: and all this. He knows the lie at the time 257 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: he's doing it. There's always been about controls. People can 258 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: follow whoever they want, and it's hard job to make 259 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: sure they see the most the most important things and 260 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: the things that don't matter to them. So anybody can 261 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: say anything on Twitter. The company does not go in 262 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: there and take certain things out that can be dangerous. 263 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: But there's certain there's certainly tweets that promote violence, which 264 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: is against our terms of service, and people have controls 265 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to block, and people have controls to mute. But what 266 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: about the company who decides the difference between criticism and hate. 267 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: These are the individuals. So you can follow who you want, 268 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: and if it's something you want to see, you continue 269 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: to follow it. So he was lying. While he was 270 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: saying this, he had hundreds of employees every day dealing 271 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: with thousands of requests, some of them from government officials, 272 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: some of it from the Deep State, of it from 273 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee, some of it from elected officials, 274 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: some of it from journalists, some of it from liberals 275 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: who worked with conservatives who were sending notes to Twitter saying, hey, 276 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: can you ban this guy? That's where I come in here. 277 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: I have no doubt that I would silenced by Twitter 278 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: and Facebook during the same week when I got my 279 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: first chance to host a show for an entire week. 280 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: I have no doubt that the hit piece that was 281 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: done on me by Media Matters was done at the 282 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: same time when they silenced and started shutting me down 283 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: on Facebook and Twitter at the same time, and my 284 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook accounts have never been the same since 285 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: that week when I went on to host a show 286 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: at CNN for an entire week. Now, why would they 287 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: do that to me? During that week, I'll tell you why. 288 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: There was too many liberals at CNN that didn't want 289 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: him to see me succeed, much less host a TV show. 290 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: And that was the week when Media Matters came out 291 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: and started pounding me because they wanted to get rid 292 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: of me. Now, I believe that would probably came from 293 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: internally at CNN. There was too many liberals there that said, 294 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: this is too scary Ben Ferguson possibly doing a TV 295 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: show and getting ratings that could turn into something. We 296 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: got to make sure that number one, he can't reach 297 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: his followers on Twitter at the time that were like 298 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: a half million and Facebook. And then we're gonna put 299 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: out this Media Matters article on him to attack him, 300 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: so maybe they'll him off the air. That's how these 301 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: people work, And I have no doubt in my mind 302 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: since that date, my Twitter account has been in essence worthless. 303 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: And we're gonna find this out because Elon Mosca said 304 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: he's going to give out all the names of all 305 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: the people that had been silenced. But when Jack Dorsey 306 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: was doing this interview that I just played for you, 307 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: he knew he was lying to you, and he knew 308 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: that he was telling you something that was that was laughable. 309 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: And the people within Twitter were probably dying, laughing, knee 310 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: slapping as they're watching the Today's Show, going can you 311 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: believe the power that we have? This is amazing. He 312 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: also lied again when he did a interview on CNN 313 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: with you know, mister potato head himself, the dude that's 314 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: been fired, Brian Skelter, one of the scumbags at CNN 315 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: that would silence and censor people and tell his friends 316 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: in big tech to attack conservatives. This guy who mocked 317 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: Donald Trump asked the question about Trump like, hey, Donald 318 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: Trump says you're shadow banning and silencing him and their conservatives. 319 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: And listen to Jack Dorsey's response to this question. The 320 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: President called you out for shadow banning. What is the 321 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: truth around that idea? So I think a lot of 322 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: the statements behind the statement and the question behind the 323 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: question is look, shadow banning is a very widely defined term. 324 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: There's not one single definition. So the definition that we 325 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: found that seems to resonate with the most people, is 326 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, not amplifying particular messages, or if someone puts 327 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: out a tweet hiding that tweet from everyone without that 328 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: person who tweeted it knowing about it. But the real 329 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: question behind the question is are we doing something according 330 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: to political ideology or viewpoints? And we are not. Period. 331 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: We do not look at content with regards to political 332 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior. Let me ask 333 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: about specific questions. Has Twitter ever been involved in shadow 334 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: banning with regards to political viewpoint or ideology? We look 335 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: at behavior. So if my count is right in real 336 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: time as we're listening to this together, he just lied 337 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: to you in one response six times, six times he 338 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: knew that he was lying to you. Does Twitter silence people? Yes? 339 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: Do they do it based on their beliefs? Yes? Is 340 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: it attacking a conservative viewpoint? Yes? Is shadow banning happening 341 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: based on his definition? Absolutely? It was. He lies to 342 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: you and says no, this never happened when he obviously 343 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: knows yes, it does happen, and it happened hundreds of 344 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: times per day. Were there accounts that had massive reach 345 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, that reach literally disappeared overnight 346 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: and you never got them off of the silencing status. 347 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: For years, they were indefinitely banned from being successful or 348 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: being seen on Twitter. Yes, he lied to you on 349 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: all of it, and he knew he line, because we 350 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: now know from the internal files that not only was 351 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 1: he did he know about this program at Twitter, he 352 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: was involved in it in a part of it. He 353 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: was in part of the decision making process.

That's Legacy PM Investments dot com. 374 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: There was something else that also happened. This was several 375 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: years ago. There were starting to be articles that were 376 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: written and reviews that were being written. You heard earliader 377 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk mentioned Axios did an expose about the silencing 378 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: of their Twitter account and did the dad and the 379 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: research and the analysis on all of it, and it 380 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: was it was damning. And so what happened was Big 381 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: Tech was being accused by virtually every talk show host 382 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: that was significant in the country of silencing them, shadow 383 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: banning them. We were hearing from listeners and callers that 384 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: were calling in and they were saying over and over again, hey, 385 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: we got a problem here, like we can't find you. 386 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: I can't find your stuff, I can't find your information. 387 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: We really can't find out what's happening right now with you. 388 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: And we're really concerned about this, right like like we're like, 389 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: we're genuinely concerned, and we started talking about it, and 390 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: then these organizations got smart. Facebook, for example, had an 391 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: emergency meeting. I had friends that were in this meeting. 392 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: They were flown out to California and given a briefing 393 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: on how basically, we're not censoring or silencing conservatives, we're 394 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: not shadow banning people. We want to work with you guys. 395 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: If you have any concerns, please call us. Yah yah yah. 396 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: This is when they were at least trying to fake it. Okay. 397 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: Twitter apparently did the same thing, and then they did 398 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: a pr kind of you know, move forward with this subject. 399 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: And what they did was they called prominent conservatives who 400 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: had large audience and they actually made themselves available to 401 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: do different interviews. Jack Dorsey for example, did this as well, 402 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: because they understood this could get sticky, so they needed 403 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: to go out there and just reassure the public we're 404 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: not really doing this, and then turn conservatives that were 405 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: being shadow into basically conspiracy theorist theorists right, Q and 406 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: on and all that crazy they would they would label you. 407 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: Is it crazy for even implying they were doing this 408 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: because they were on the record on legitimate shows right 409 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: putting out this propaganda. Sean Hannity got one of these interviews. 410 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: I remember this, and this was the lies told to 411 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: Hannity during that time. Let me ask about specific questions 412 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: as Twitter ever been involved in shadow banning. We do 413 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: not shadow ban according to political ideology or viewpoint or content. 414 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: That's Jack Dorsey saying that to Sean Handy on Shawn 415 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: Handy's TV show, our radio show. I should say, we 416 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: do not shadow ampeel based on content political viewpoints. He's 417 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: lying to you, but he's doing this from a PR 418 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: firm perspective perfectly. Hey, we're gonna get you on China 419 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: Handy's show. And I'm sure Jack Dorsey's like, why the 420 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: hell am I going on his show? Because this is 421 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: going to be an issue if you don't go on 422 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: a show, go on a show and tell the conservative 423 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: world that we're just not doing this, and he did 424 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: it and he sold it. Period. We every model that 425 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: we have on the network is really looking at the 426 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: behaviors on the network. We take those behaviors as signals, 427 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: and I do want to point out that these signals 428 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: evolve minute like, minute by minute, hourly by hourly. These 429 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: are not scarlet permanent letters that people then take on 430 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: as a badge and will never be ranked high in 431 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: search or not allowed to trend or ranked high in conversation. 432 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: So these are models that are looking at behaviors and 433 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: behaviors of bad faith actors who intend to manipulate, distract, 434 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: divide a conversation. This is pathological line. You know you're 435 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: going to do an interview with Sean Hannity. You know, 436 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: Sean Handy's going to ask you the question that he's 437 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: been talking about for months on end with a massive 438 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: amount of evidence that you're silencing and shadow banning conservative 439 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: Twitter accounts so that you can interfere in our elections 440 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: in this country. And you go on there from a 441 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: PR perspective, a PR standpoint to kind of make the 442 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: story go away and you look like you're totally being transparent. 443 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: This is no different than the Ponzi scheme interviews that 444 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: were just being done by this guy with XTF recently. Right, 445 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: go on, CNBC, tell them everything's perfect, Tell them everything's fine. 446 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,479 Speaker 1: Give hundreds of millions of dollars, become the second biggest 447 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: donor to the Democratic Party, and they'll let you do 448 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: your Ponzi scheme and look the other way as long 449 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: as you're on the team of the Democrats. That is 450 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: exactly what was happening here with Twitter. I'm sure with Facebook, Okay, 451 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: it's exactly what was happening just with Twitter, But Facebook 452 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: and Google and Apple and YouTube, they're all doing this. 453 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: But to look you in the eye and tell you, no, no, no, 454 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: you're the crazy one, right, you are the you are 455 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: the crazy one. We're not crazy, you're crazy. You're the 456 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: one that's paranoid. You're the one that's part of Q 457 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: and on. In fact, let's just go back to Congress 458 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: for a second. Twitter CEO was testifying before a House panel, 459 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: and he knew that he was lying to Congress when 460 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: he was asked this question by a congressman who then 461 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: to the Twitter ceo. And this is his response to 462 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: this whole hearing. And the reason that Twitter, somehow, with 463 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: all the other social media platforms out there, got the 464 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: singular honor to sit in front of this committee is 465 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: because there's some implication that your site is trying to 466 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: censor conservative voices on your platform. Now, when you tried 467 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: to explain the shadow banning, as I understand it, you 468 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: had a system where if people who were following people 469 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: had some behaviors, that that was the trigger that allowed 470 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: that caused you to do the shadow banning. So you 471 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: were really like an equal opportunity shadow banner. Right, You 472 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: didn't just shadow bann for conservative Republicans. You shadow band 473 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand people across your entire platform, across the 474 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: globe who had people following them that had certain behaviors 475 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: that caused you to dongrade them coming up. Is that correct? Now? 476 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: I love this. By the way, this is a Democrat 477 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: idiot from Pennsylvania, Democrat congressman saying, well, if there is 478 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: shadow banning, it's not like you're just targeting conservatives, because 479 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: this is what it got even worse for Twitter. Right, 480 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: Dorisy's there with his nose ring in probably you know, 481 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: just you know, I got finished smoking a ball, and 482 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: he's and he's just kind of you know, he's before Congress, 483 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: but he doesn't really care because he knows that everybody's 484 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: doing this and It's like, well, I'm not going down 485 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: as long as I own the company. Couldn't imagine at 486 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: this point when he's answering this question that Elon Musk 487 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: was gonna buy his company, right and in a hostile takeover. 488 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: He didn't imagine that would ever come out what they 489 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: were actually doing and shadow banning people and this Democrats like, well, 490 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: even if you did do this, you're doing it on 491 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: an issue, not on politics. You're not just picking three 492 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: conservatives and doing this to them. Now, you're doing it 493 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: one hundreds of thousands of people, right, all right, ready 494 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: for the lie in front of Congress. Here it is, 495 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: so this was never targeted at conservative Republicans. This was 496 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: targeted to a group of six hundred thousand people because 497 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: of the people who followed them. And then you determined 498 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: that wasn't fair and you corrected that practice. Is that correct? So, 499 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: just for the record, since you've been singled out as 500 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: a social media platform before this committee, Twitter undertook no 501 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: behavior to selectively censor conservative Republicans or conservative voices on 502 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: your platform. Is that correct? Good? So let the record 503 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: reflect that, because that's the whole reasons we're here. Because 504 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: House Leader Kevin McCarthy wrote our chairman a letter and said, hey, 505 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: this is going on and we think your committee should 506 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: investigate it and it's a load of crap. Well, there 507 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: it is. It's a load of crap, right, he just 508 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: lied to Congress. Will there'll be any accountability for lying 509 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: to Congress? I doubt it because he's a Democrat. If 510 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: you lie to congressman, Democrat, you get a slap on 511 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: the back the XTF chairman. I go back to the 512 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme of XDF for a second, just to show 513 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: you the example. As long as you're on the Democrats team, 514 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: they will do nothing but protect you when you're busted 515 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: screwing up. The number two investor in the Democratic Party 516 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: and the midterm elections was the guy who two days 517 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: after the midterm elections files for bankruptcy. Basically, his company 518 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: goes bankrupt. There's no money, There's billions and billions of 519 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: dollars that are missing. But hey, at least he funneled 520 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand the Democratic Party first, and we'll 521 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: look the other way. You throw this guy in front 522 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: of Congress, and what do you tell people over and 523 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: over again? You tell them that what they believe Kevin McCarthy. 524 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: The Republicans, you're crazy. You ask them the question, did 525 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: you shout out and Republicans know? Would you pick up 526 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: Republicans on purpose? No? Did you do any of that's 527 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: on purpose? No, you didn't do any of it. Now, 528 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: and it wasn't just politics. Right, There's another part of 529 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: this story. This was anything that Twitter didn't want to 530 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: let out. There that anything Twitter didn't want to exist. 531 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: This included stuff with covid. Okay, covid was a big 532 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: part of this. I want to go back to the 533 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: story the doctor real quick, this professor who was asking 534 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: genuine questions about lockdowns and could it negatively affect children. 535 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: Listen to what Miranda defined said about this last night, 536 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: spooking Google, We're doing it. What are you think it's 537 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: going on on YouTube? We'll likely never know, but we 538 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: can certainly guess. Miranda Divine was an early target of 539 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: censorship by Twitter. Of course, she works at the New 540 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: York Post, which broke the Hunter Biden laptop stories. She's 541 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: been following it ever since. She joins US tonight with 542 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: reaction to the second tranche of documents. What do you 543 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: make of this so far? Miranda Look, it's I guess 544 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: not surprising, as you said, but it is really gratifying 545 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: to see it laid out in policies and to catch 546 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: out those top people at Twitter in their lies, because 547 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: they did lie. They said that there was no shadow 548 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: banning going on, where you know, we knew just by 549 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: our own experience on Twitter. I, for instance, since Elon 550 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: Musk brought in, have increased my follower account by forty percent, 551 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: and that's just something that's experienced by conservatives across the board. 552 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: And you notice from all the names that Barry Weiss 553 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: has brought up tonight, they're all conservatives. And Barry Weiss 554 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: is not a conservative. She's ex New York Times. I 555 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: guess she'd be a red pilled liberal if anything, And 556 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: if there were left wingers that had been banned, you 557 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: can bet that she would have named them to be 558 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: equal opportunity. I think Matt Taibi was snowed, probably by 559 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: James Baker. He said a couple of things that didn't 560 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: ring true with those first batch of Twitter files, like 561 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: the federal government wasn't involved, and so I think now 562 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: that Elon Musk has kind of been red pilled himself 563 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: and James Baker has gone, we might see more things 564 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: that are useful. But of course, you know, as Tracey 565 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: just said, there's still nothing on the FBI, but it's 566 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 1: really part of an overall censorship scheme, and it was 567 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: anything that was, you know, anybody dissenting against the Biden administration, 568 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: against federal agencies like the CDC, you know, anything for instance. 569 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of this. I think Elon Musk 570 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: is getting ahead of the revelations that we're seeing out 571 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: of that incredible lawsuit being wrought by Eric Schmidt, the 572 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: Attorney General now Senator elect from Missouri and the Attorney 573 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: General of Louisiana. They are suing the Biden administration for 574 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: violation of the First Amendment for using the social media 575 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: companies to do their dirty work, and that included banning 576 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: or shadow banning. J Batichara, who is an eminent physician 577 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: from Stanford, multiple degrees and incredibly sober, sensible, rational, thoughtful person, 578 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: one of the three founders of the Great Barrington Declaration, 579 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: which just said it wasn't COVID denying, it was just 580 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,719 Speaker 1: saying we know enough to know that it really just 581 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: hits the elderly and the infirm. So they should be 582 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: protected and let younger people who aren't affected keep the 583 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: economy going and basically create herd immunity by getting sick 584 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: the virus and not dying. And that was just the 585 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: most eminently sensible thing for everybody's mental health, physical health, 586 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: and economic health. And he was shadow banned, he and 587 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: every sensible person online who said children should not be 588 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: getting these shots because the ill effects outweighed the benefits. 589 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: And they were right. And unfortunately, you know, doctor Fauci 590 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: and all these people who just decided they were going 591 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: to suppress the truth, they probably cost people's lives. Of 592 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: course they did, of course they did. And it was strategic. 593 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't censoring people because they were annoying. 594 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: They were censoring people because they were providing factual information 595 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: that might have stopped certain policies or election results from happening. So, 596 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, this was sophisticated and had a huge effect 597 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: on American society. I would say a huge effect. If 598 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: you can take out all the big Republican names, you 599 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: can go on TV like Jack Dorsey did saying I 600 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: we never censored any concertism. You're crazy. If you take 601 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: away the reach of every conservative talk showst in the country, 602 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: every conservative commentator in the country. That's significant. Imagine how 603 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: you can change an election. Imagine what you can do 604 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: when you can silence and ban a story and then 605 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: treat people that are trying to share that story about 606 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop like they are sharing child pornography. Imagine 607 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: how successful you can be an election after election if 608 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, the Deep State, the FBI, Hillary Clinton's campaign, 609 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's campaign can just send a note to big 610 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: Tech saying, this guy's a pain in our ass. Can 611 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: you silence him? Make him disappear? Can you make it 612 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: where Dan Bonino? You when you search his name you 613 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: can't even find him. Yeah, we can do that for you, 614 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: no problem. It's a lot easier to want to actions. 615 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to do shady and corrupt things 616 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: if you know that if the shady and corrupt things 617 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: are actually exposed, that you can just shut down them 618 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: being exposed. In other words, you've won the game no 619 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: matter what you do. You want to know why Democrats 620 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: have gotten so bold, why they've gotten so good at 621 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: doing god awful things. This is why, because there's zero 622 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: accountability when they get caught zero. I'll say it again, zero. 623 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: Twitter is a crime scene. Not my words, but the 624 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: words of the guy who just bought it, Elon Musk 625 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: as he continues to expose what was happening behind the scenes. 626 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: Twitter exposed in a very big, big way. Now Democrats 627 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: are concerned this could turn into an issue. There were 628 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: sensor happy executives that use tools to suppress conservative news, 629 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: conserve organizations, and conservative commentators, as well as possibly politicians. 630 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: We also know that Twitter met with federal agencies amid 631 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: the hunter By laptop scandal and allowed the FBI to 632 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: actually report tweets to Twitter left ex executives blacklisted and 633 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: twisted rules, made up rules, and admitted that there were 634 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: some people that didn't even commit terms of service issues 635 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 1: on Twitter that still got silenced and censored, including Donald Trump. 636 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: The fourth part of the Twitter file series was published 637 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: Saturday night by a journalist by the name of Michael Sallenberger, 638 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: outlining how Twitter executives twisted the platform's rules with the 639 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: intention of blacklisting former President Donald Trump. On January the 640 00:37:55,120 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: seventh of twenty twenty, in a recently published thread, the 641 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: journalists outline the fourth release of the Twitter file series 642 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: detailing the internal workings at Twitter and conversations between executives 643 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: ahead of the banning of former President Donald Trump. Michael 644 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: wrote the Removal of Donald Trump on January seventh. As 645 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 1: the pressure builds, Twitter executives build the case for a 646 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: permanent ban, making it clear that this was what they 647 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: were going to do all along. The journalist states that 648 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: following the events of the US Capital on January sixth, 649 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: Twitter faced immense pressure to ban President Trump, with many 650 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: claiming they needed to ban Trump quote for safety reasons. 651 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: During the time, then CEO Jack Dorsey was on vacation, 652 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: appeared to delegate much of the decision making to other 653 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: top executives, including the global head of Trust and Safety, 654 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: You'll Roth, and the head of Legal Policy and Trust, 655 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: the Platform Censorship Queen. After the events of January the sixth, 656 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: the internal and external pressure on the CEO grew. In fact, 657 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 1: even former First Lady Michelle Obama we now know, got 658 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: in on the action, yes, including tech journalists, high tech vcs, 659 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: and many others who were calling on Twitter to permanently 660 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: ban Donald Trump. Dorsey, again on vacation the week of 661 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: January the fourth or the eighth, he phoned into meetings, 662 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: but also delegated much of the handling the situation to 663 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: the senior executives who ran with it. On January the seventh, 664 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: Dorsey emailed employees saying that the platform must remain consistent 665 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: in its policies quote, including allowing users to return to 666 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: the platform following temporary bands. Roth re assured an employee 667 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: that people who care about this aren't happy with where 668 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: we are. Roth later excited damned colleague, stating, guess what, 669 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: Jack just approved repeat offender for civic integrity. This would 670 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: allow Twitter to create a system where five violations of 671 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 1: rules would result in a permanent suspension.

On January the seventh, Jack emails employees, saying 691 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: Twitter needs to remain consistent, but after that you'll Ross 692 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 1: says jack emails have been fine, but ultimately I think 693 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: people want to hear from us or someone closer to 694 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: the specifics of this who can reassure them that people 695 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: who care about this are thinking deeply about these problems 696 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: and aren't happy with where we are. A few engineers 697 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: have reached out to me directly about it, and I'm 698 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: chatting your row rights with them, but it's so clear 699 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: they just want to know what that someone is doing 700 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: something about this, and and it's not that we're ignoring 701 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: the issues here. Another said, I think there's also an 702 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: opportunity here to help you understand that while it seems 703 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: obvious and simple that we should do something, it's an 704 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: opportunity for us to talk about permanent bands of personal accounts. Quote. 705 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: We can't afford to take that immediate action without first 706 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 1: playing the movie out and anticipating all the other things 707 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: that can happen, and then figure out the plans for 708 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: those possible scenarios. Example, if we suspend a personal account 709 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 1: and he posts the same thing on the official government 710 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 1: account referring to Donald Trump, do we suspend that too. 711 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: People can be forgiven for not thinking beyond the thing 712 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: that's immediately in front of them, But Jack, Vijaia Dell, 713 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: you don't have the luxury of just pulling the trigger 714 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: without thinking things through. We tell them repeatedly that people 715 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: are on it, and people are working on it, and 716 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: they're scratching their heads wondering how hard can it be 717 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: decided if this single account is in violation quote unquote, 718 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: Around eleven thirty am Roth DM's colleagues with the news 719 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: that he's excited to share. Guess why, he writes, Jack 720 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: disapproved repeat offenders for civic integrity. The new approach would 721 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: create a system where five strikes means you get a 722 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: permanent suspension. All caps guess what. He goes on to say. 723 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: Directional approach would be something like labels which are severe 724 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: enough to result in disabled engagements, incurred incurse strikes, strikes 725 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: number one label only, strike label only, strike three, label 726 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 1: twelve plus hour timeout, strike four, label plus seven day timeout, 727 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: strike five, permanent suspension. They're getting excited because now they 728 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: have a pathway to getting rid of anyone they don't like. 729 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: Then we got an internal message, it says progress, exclaims 730 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: a member of Ross Trump and Safety team. The exchange 731 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: between Roth and his colleagues make it clear that they've 732 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: been pushing Jack Dorsey for greater restrictions on the speech 733 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: Twitter allows around elections. The colleagues then went on to say, 734 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: we want to know if the decision means Trump can 735 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: finally be banned. The person asked, does that does the 736 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: incitement to violence an aspect change that calculus? Ross says 737 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: it doesn't. Trump continues to just have this one strike remaining, 738 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: one strike reign remaining, and you didn't even know about 739 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: the other ones ross colleagues quietly talk about this and 740 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: keep talking about the incitement of violence heavily foreshadows what 741 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: will happen the following day, And then on January eighth, 742 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: Twitter announces that permanent ban on Donald Trump due to 743 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: the risk of further incitement of violent Twitter says that 744 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: its ban is based on specifically quote how Trump tweets 745 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: are being received and quote interpreted, But in twenty nineteen, 746 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: Twitter said it did not attempt to determine all potential 747 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: interpretations of the content or its intent. The only serious 748 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: concern we found expressed within Twitter over the implications for 749 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: free speech and democracy of banning Trump came from a 750 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: junior person the organization. It was tucked away in a 751 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: lower level Slack channel known as Site Integrity AUTO. The 752 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: person said, quote this might be an unpopular opinion, but 753 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: one staff ad hoc decisions like this that don't appear 754 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: rooted in policy are I am ho slippery slope and 755 00:45:53,480 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: reflecting alternately alternatively equally dictorial problem. This now appears to 756 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: be a fiat by an online platform CEO with a 757 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: global present that can gate keep speech for the entire world, 758 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:16,399 Speaker 1: which seems unsustainable. The person wrote, and the slack yes 759 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 1: might be unpopular. Very clearly, it was dictator and tyrant 760 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: esque focus on silencing free speech at Twitter as long 761 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: as you were on the right. It's not a conspiracy theory. 762 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: It happened, It was real, and it was happening all 763 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: the time. Now, before I get into more of that, 764 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends over at 765 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile real quick.

Kevin McCarthy was asked about 791 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: the fifty one Intel agents. You may remember they came 792 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: out and the way to wake of the Hunter Biden files. 793 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: Those fifty one agents sign that letter telling the world 794 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,879 Speaker 1: that they believe that the Hunter Biden laptop story had 795 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: quote all the mark markings of Russian disinformation. In other words, 796 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,919 Speaker 1: don't believe the story. Stories should never be believed. This 797 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: story is crap. This story is a story that no 798 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,760 Speaker 1: one should look at and take it seriously. This story 799 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: was made up and created by the Russians to influence 800 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: our elections. Fifty one of them decided it was a 801 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,760 Speaker 1: good idea to do this, folks, fifty one of them. 802 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: Fifty one of them did this. Yeah, it's a problem. 803 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: Makes me angry, by the way, Why did they do 804 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: this when they knew that they were lying to the 805 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: American people. They knew it, folks, they knew they were 806 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,280 Speaker 1: lying to the American people. Listen to what Kevin McCarthy 807 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: had to say about moving forward with the Republicans in 808 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 1: the House if he's a speaker, Speaker of the House, 809 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, last question. We saw the revelations coming out 810 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: of Twitter as Elon musk is unmasking the corruption that 811 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 1: existed there in the denials that they testified about. So 812 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: for you personally, you have another move you want to make. 813 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 1: Not only do we want to hear from the former 814 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 1: executives at Twitter and maybe the other entities, you have 815 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 1: something else you want to say, Yeah, I do, because 816 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 1: this is egregious what we're finding. They shouldn't have Section 817 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: two thirty to start out with. But we also have 818 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: to go further. What did Facebook and Google do as well? 819 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 1: Because they became an arm of the Democratic Party in 820 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: the arm of government. But difference. We're going to do 821 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: those fifty one Intel agents that signed a letter that 822 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 1: said the Hunter Biden information was all wrong, was Russia collusion. 823 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 1: Many of them have a security clearance. We're going to 824 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: bring them before committee. I'm going to have them have 825 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: a hearing, bring them and subpoena them before committee. Why 826 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: did they sign it? Why did they lie to the 827 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: American public? A clapper of Brennan, Why did you use 828 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: the reputation that America was able to give to you 829 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: more information but use it for a political purpose and 830 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: lie to the American public is exactly what Adam Shift 831 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 1: has done to us, and this has got to stop. 832 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: You deserve to be speaker. I hope you get the votes. 833 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. Appreciated Kevin McCarthy again, 834 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: he's up and trying to deal with us right trying 835 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: to decide how this is going to work. But he's 836 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,319 Speaker 1: making it clear, Hey, I'm not backing down. We're going 837 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,760 Speaker 1: to keep moving forward. We're going to ask these people, 838 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 1: We're going to force them to come in. We're going 839 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,879 Speaker 1: to force them to answer questions about what you guys 840 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: knew and when did you know it because if you 841 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: had this top secret clearance, you knew that the Hunter 842 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: Biden laptop wasn't a lie. You knew the Hunter Biden 843 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 1: laptop was not just kind of real, it was extremely real. 844 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 1: You knew that that laptop was authentic. You knew that 845 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: the information in it was information that had already been 846 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 1: verified as being legitimate by the FBI. In fact, you 847 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 1: knew there was a cover up. You knew that the 848 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 1: people the FBI that had this laptop buried the laptop 849 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,840 Speaker 1: so that it wouldn't see the light of day. And 850 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,760 Speaker 1: you knew the reason why that was happening is because 851 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: you were terrified that if it came out and you 852 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 1: said it was real, that Joe Biden wouldn't win the election, 853 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: that it would guarantee Donald Trump another four years. And 854 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: so fifty one different people in the Intel Committee all 855 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: came out and they all signed this letter, and they 856 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 1: all did it on purpose. They should testify on all 857 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 1: of this. They will testify. Two different representatives have now 858 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: issued an ultimatum to Twitter employees who censored the Hunter 859 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: Biden laptop story. James Comer and Jim Jordan spoke earlier 860 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,399 Speaker 1: this week with Sean Hannity about this issue, saying, we're 861 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,720 Speaker 1: going to hold them accountable as well. Take a listen 862 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: with you. Now that we know the FBI had this 863 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: laptop for eleven months, there's low hanging fruit crimes. But 864 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: that's not the big one. You said when you made 865 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: your announcement about your investigation. This is an investigation into 866 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. That laptop implicates Joe Biden. 867 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: We have photographs that prove that he was with Hunter 868 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 1: and his farm business associates. We know that he went 869 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 1: and attended meetings with farm business associates and Hunter. We 870 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,479 Speaker 1: know Hunter bitches and moans and groans and complaints. He's 871 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: paying Dad or Pops all this money. So the question 872 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 1: here is is this the biggest influence pedaling scandal Congress 873 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: is investigating. Absolutely, There's nothing like it in the history 874 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: of America. We've never had a family that has influenced 875 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: pedal to this degree. And if you look at the 876 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 1: whole purpose of what we're talking about today, it's because 877 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 1: this investigation of the Biden family influence pedaling. The evidence 878 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: is based a lot in part with what the documents 879 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: are and the data is on the laptop. So Sean, 880 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm breaking on your show tonight based on the internal 881 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 1: documents that Elon Musk released this weekend. The Oversight Committee 882 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,720 Speaker 1: will be sending a letter tomorrow morning to the three 883 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 1: Twitter employees, Missus, Gaddy, Roth and Baker that we're implicated 884 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: in the cover up of the laptop story. Three letters 885 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 1: requesting their presence in front of the Oversight Committee in January. 886 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: But wasn't the FBI putting pressure on big tech companies? 887 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 1: Oh You're going to try, Glad, sir, right, And what 888 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,879 Speaker 1: we're going to ask them is who was influencing your 889 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 1: decision banking. Did you do this unilaterally or did you 890 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: do this based on what you were told from the 891 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: Biden campaign, from the Democrat National Committee, or even worse, 892 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: and as I suspect, from the FBI. This is going 893 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 1: to be an opportunity for the American people to hear 894 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: directly from the three Twitter employees implicated in the data 895 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 1: release that Elon must just dumped this weekend. So they're 896 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: going to have a few weeks to get their story start, 897 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: and they're going to be able to come under oath 898 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 1: in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the 899 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: American people what really happened. And why why were they 900 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: so intent on suppressing this story. Jim Colemo will give you, 901 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,760 Speaker 1: by the way, we know why they were so intent 902 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 1: on suppressing this story because they knew how damning it 903 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: was to everyone involved. That's why they did it. See, 904 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,800 Speaker 1: the only reason why they did it was so d 905 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,840 Speaker 1: it was it was it was a story that you 906 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,399 Speaker 1: could not overcome. It was a story that was going 907 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:14,320 Speaker 1: to ruin you. It was a story that you had 908 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,359 Speaker 1: to silence and suppressed because if you didn't, the other 909 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: guy was gonna win. I got to go back and 910 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: remind you of one thing. They impeached and the intelligence 911 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 1: community allowed for the impeachment of a president of the 912 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 1: United States of America, Donald Trump, based on data and 913 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 1: based on information the entire time that they knew was 914 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: a lie. They knew when he was being impeached, when 915 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,760 Speaker 1: they were trying to overthrow the will of the people, 916 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 1: they knew that the entire thing was crap. They had 917 00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: already classified it is user generated information. They knew that 918 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 1: it came from the Hillary Clinton campaign and from the 919 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee. They allowed the information to be used 920 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 1: to try to overthrow the will of more than fifty 921 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: percent of the American population, and they watched it in 922 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: the intelligence community after they had already classified it and 923 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: knew who brought it up, who brought it in, and 924 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: who had all this data there. They knew it the 925 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,879 Speaker 1: entire time, folks, and they loved every minute of it. 926 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: Why would anyone be shocked that they were trying to 927 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,879 Speaker 1: destroy each and every conservative who had a significant audience 928 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: on social media platforms. And I have no doubt that 929 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 1: this is exactly what was going on. I have no 930 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:48,239 Speaker 1: doubt at Facebook probably right now as we speak, and 931 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: Google as we speak, and YouTube as we speak. I 932 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: have no doubt that this is happening anywhere they can silence. 933 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example. The Republican National Committee 934 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: came out several months ago. We exposed it on the 935 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 1: show and on my podcast that about ninety percent of 936 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: fundraising emails were going to spam at Gmail accounts. The 937 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: majority of Americans have Gmail accounts, and ninety percent of 938 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: Democratic fundraising emails actually went into the main mailboxes. And 939 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: we're seen by recipients how much money and how many 940 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 1: get out the vote efforts disappeared. How much money did 941 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats raise because their emails were being seen, and 942 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: the Republican emails were not They were going to spam. 943 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: These are all of the things that were actually happening. 944 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: How bad was it. It's so bad that the GOP 945 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 1: announced in late October that they are suing Google, claiming 946 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,440 Speaker 1: their campaign emails are being sent on purpose to spam. 947 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit going after Google 948 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 1: for allegedly sending its campaign emails to people's spam folders. 949 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: The RMC file day lawsuit in federal court in California 950 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: on Friday. This is coming from CBS News by the way, 951 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: that Google is unlawfully discriminating against the Republican National Committee 952 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: the RNC by throttling its email messages because of the 953 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: rnc's political affiliation and views. Google has regulated millions and 954 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 1: millions of RNC emails in mass to potential donors and 955 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 1: supporters spam folders during pivotal points in election fundraising and 956 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: community building. The timing of Google's most egregious filtering is 957 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 1: particularly damning, the RNC said in the lawsuit. CNN reported 958 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 1: back in August, at federal election regulators voted to allow 959 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 1: Google to proceed with a plan to make it easier 960 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 1: for campaign emails to bypass spam filters. Google's pilot program 961 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: changes the filters for political emails, allowing them to bypass 962 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 1: the company's algorithm for sorting emails into spam. Instead, political 963 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: emails will land and spam folders only if users take 964 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 1: action to mark them as spam. This is how they're 965 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000 Speaker 1: trying to cover their ada blass. The fact was the 966 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: damage had already been done. The proposal to run a 967 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 1: quote pilot project came after intense Republican criticism that spam 968 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 1: filters were biased against conservative a charge, of course the 969 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 1: check the tech giant denied the same way that Twitter said, 970 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: we don't shadow band people. The CEO, Jack Dorsey has 971 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: said that over and over again. We know he did. 972 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 1: We know it from all their internal documents now and 973 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 1: a sign of public discuss with spam. The Federal Election 974 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: Commission received thousands of public comments urging it to deny 975 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: the request, but a majority of the six member commission 976 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 1: decided that Google's project did not constitute an improper in 977 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: kind political contribution that would violate federal campaign finance laws. 978 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: The RNC says the discrimination has been ongoing for about 979 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 1: ten months. Despite the rnc's best efforts to work with Google. 980 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: In fact, throughout the twenty twenty two cycle, the RNC 981 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 1: has engaged with Google month after month to obtain an 982 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 1: explanation and a solution, the RNC said in a lawsuit. 983 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 1: But every explanation has been refuted and every solution has failed. 984 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: Google continues to suppress the rnc's emails, and now Google 985 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: has fallen silent, refusing to discuss the issue further. The 986 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 1: only reasonable inference is that Google is intentionally sending critical 987 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,400 Speaker 1: RNC emails to the spam folder, because it's the RNC 988 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: sending them. They're all doing it, folks. It's not just Twitter, 989 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: it's Facebook, it's YouTube, it's Google. They're all doing it. 990 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 1: And as long as they control Big Tech, I think 991 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 1: they assume they continue they can continue to do it 992 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 1: this whole thing. It's not just prominent names, by the way, 993 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: being censored by Twitter. There's others apparently that are being 994 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: suppressed as well. Now, before I get into more of 995 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 1: this story, I want to say thank you and tell 996 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 1: you about our good friends at Legacy Precious Metals. Without them, 997 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 1: the show wouldn't be possible.

The media reporter Joe Concha 1014 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,760 Speaker 1: at Fox News had this to say about the silencing 1015 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 1: of people that had important emails that went viral, Area 1016 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 1: important tweets that went viral. Take a listen. Conservative speak 1017 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:36,440 Speaker 1: speeches and conservative free speech is something that should be 1018 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: something that the free press should embrace right, and instead 1019 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,680 Speaker 1: they seem to be advocating the fact that people are 1020 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,640 Speaker 1: being blacklisted at this point, and not just here point, 1021 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,280 Speaker 1: not just Dan Bongino, who is a prominent podcaster and 1022 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 1: host on this network, or the lives of TikTok who 1023 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 1: are also blacklisted and their speech suppressed. It's all the 1024 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 1: other people out there that would say, hey, I feel 1025 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,120 Speaker 1: like my tweets aren't getting the traction that they used to. 1026 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 1: Why is that? Why am I being suppressed? So yes, 1027 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: it's not just the prominent names. It's all the other 1028 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 1: people that may have a perspective on the way this 1029 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 1: country should be run or policies that they advocate. And 1030 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,920 Speaker 1: that's the big problem here. And the thing is, it's 1031 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,160 Speaker 1: not just social media, Fammi. It is traditional media that 1032 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: is working in lockstep with social media as far as 1033 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 1: suppressing this story now right, ABCNBCCBS, CNN, NBC, The New 1034 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: York Times, the Washington Post. I went on their web 1035 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: pages before we came on here, and I have seen 1036 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 1: nothing in terms of these document dumps, in terms of 1037 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 1: this fresh information, the receipts that we are seeing that 1038 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 1: this sort of censorship happened in the United States of 1039 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 1: America on Twitter. It's most problem in social media platform, 1040 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 1: right and and there's no reporting on it whatsoever, no 1041 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 1: reporting on it whatsoever. Why because they all liked it, 1042 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 1: they were all in on it, and they were all 1043 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,440 Speaker 1: in favor of it. That's why the only group in 1044 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 1: America that was systematically discriminated against by power structures in 1045 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: this country over the last two election cycles are number 1046 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 1: one conservatives. Journalists who decided to speak up, honest doctors 1047 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: for example, that tried to speak up, those that tried 1048 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: to actually say something important, talk about this. They were 1049 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 1: the ones. Look at the doctors that were silence. We 1050 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 1: now know and we're hearing that these Twitter drops five 1051 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 1: and six of these Twitter files are going to be 1052 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 1: even more damning, are going to be even more eye opening, 1053 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,200 Speaker 1: are going to be even more brutal, because what we're 1054 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,000 Speaker 1: being told now is that doctors who actually spoke up, 1055 01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 1: experts that spoke up about these shutting down of businesses 1056 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: and shutting down of schools and had warnings or just 1057 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 1: asked basic questions, what we're being told now is they 1058 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 1: were silenced and shut down their reach or their accounts 1059 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: were shut down. When it came to social media in 1060 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 1: the United States of America, where we conspiracy theorists know 1061 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,440 Speaker 1: when you go from and I'll go back to my account. 1062 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 1: Had half a million active, engaged followers on Twitter Grand debates, 1063 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of my 1064 01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 1: followers disappeared. Then all of a sudden, when I tweeted out, 1065 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 1: no one would see them. I would go from tweets 1066 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 1: that would have thousands of retweets and thousands of responses 1067 01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: to one retweet three likes the big tree falls in 1068 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 1: the forest and no one's there. Did it actually happen? 1069 01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: That is the question. And what social media and big 1070 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 1: tech said was all you got to do. If you're 1071 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party or in the FBI, if you're 1072 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 1: in the deep state and you've got something you see 1073 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: on Twitter you don't like, or someone that's growing an 1074 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 1: audience by telling the truth. If doctor Fauci saw someone 1075 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,600 Speaker 1: who said something asking him a question or said an opinion, 1076 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 1: who is an expert in infectious diseases and he didn't 1077 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 1: like it, they would reach out to big tech and 1078 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 1: just shut it down. They would just straight up silence it, folks. 1079 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: They would say, this is it, goodbye, see you later. 1080 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 1: That's the reality of the situation. That's what actually happened. 1081 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: There's no conspiracy theory here. This is America under the 1082 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: Democrats and their regime and the big tech regime. This 1083 01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 1: is what was happening with those in the media. And 1084 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: notice now how they're not touching the story. Google's doing 1085 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:09,440 Speaker 1: it with your emails, Twitter and Facebook, we're doing it 1086 01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 1: as well. YouTube is doing it with people that put 1087 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 1: up conservative content. We're supposed to be the freest country 1088 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 1: in the world. We're supposed to be the greatest country 1089 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 1: in the world. We're supposed to be a beacon of 1090 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 1: what freedom of speech looks like and feels like. That's 1091 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 1: what we're supposed to be. And in reality, Donald Trump 1092 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: and every single thing that he said about his being silenced, 1093 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:42,200 Speaker 1: about him being censored, about the system being rigged, he 1094 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 1: was right on all of it. About being spied on, 1095 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 1: about the swamp, about the deep state, he was right 1096 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 1: on all of it. Never forget Kaylee McKinney's personal account 1097 01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 1: was shut down on Twitter. Why we know this now 1098 01:07:55,840 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 1: because Democrats said so, Donald Trump loses Twitter account? Why because, 1099 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 1: as Michelle Obama says, do it. That's why. That's why 1100 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 1: all of this happened, every single bit of it was 1101 01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 1: because of what I just said. We're going to cover 1102 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,439 Speaker 1: this all week on our podcasts, so make sure you 1103 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: hit that subscribe auto download button on our podcast download 1104 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 1: the Ben Ferguson Podcasts, share it with your family and 1105 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 1: your friends, and I'll see you back here tomorrow
