WEBVTT - Bombshell Report: How Big Tech Silences Conservatives, plus Biden Family Getting Huge $$ from Hamas-Sheltering Qatar 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:03.600 Well, come in is verdict with Center Tech Cruz Ben 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.480 Ferguson with you as well, and Senator, You've got a 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:12.520 big investigation that is looking into big tech specifically and 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:17.360 how they are silencing and deplatforming conservatives, and it's something 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:19.720 the media really isn't covering. 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.599 Well, that's exactly right. In the Senate Commerce Committee, I 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.959 launched an investigation in terms of into how big tech 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.800 is abusing its power, and we just released a report 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.800 explaining how big tech is using monopoly power over basic 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:37.879 infrastructure online to deplatform conservatives, to target conservatives, and to 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.080 shut them down. I'm going to explain all about what 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.480 they're doing and how they're trying to silence you. We're 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.960 also going to talk about a big story that broke 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.880 this week that the corporate media is utterly ignoring, which 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:53.720 is testimony that occurred in a federal bankruptcy proceeding that 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.680 Joe Biden's brother Jim Biden, was in business with Cutter 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.880 and was making vast sums of money from the nation 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.160 of Cutter, and that that money was flowing directly to 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.760 Joe Biden. Now, Cutter is a country that also has 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:12.319 been a leading player supporting hamas sheltering Hamas, and the 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.840 Biden administration has been incredibly soft on Cutter and so 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.959 it is direct ties of Biden corruption that is undermining 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.480 our national security. We're gonna explain all about it, and 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.640 to be honest, you can hear about it here and 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.840 very few other places. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.000 Yeah, it is, and it's shocking that no one else 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.840 seems to be covering it. I want to tell you 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:36.160 real quick about my friends at Freedom Gold USA. If 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.040 you have been looking at gold and silver and you've 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.760 seen the headlines gold and silver continuing to have record days, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.760 especially with the volatility that we've been seeing on Wall Street. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.080 Why has there been volatility because of what we've been 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.800 seeing when it comes to the economy and inflation and 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.160 the job reports. The list goes on and on. In 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.600 other words, it's Bidenomics. Well, there are a lot of 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.080 companies they can sell you gold and silver, but you 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.560 need to pick the right one. And the reason why 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.920 I want you to know about Freedom Goold USA is 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.560 because not only do they preach diversity, They're never going 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.520 to tell you to put all of your money in 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.280 gold and or silver. They want you to diversify your assets. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.760 And the second reason and this may actually be the 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.080 most important. They charge twenty five to thirty percent less 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:30.480 than most major gold and silver firms that you've heard about. Now, 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.000 that means you're literally buying twenty five to thirty percent 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.280 more gold and silver with your hard earned money. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.520 Then you will get somewhere else. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.760 So if you want to find out if gold and 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.320 silver can work for you, if you want to see 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.000 what you can do with an IRA or four A 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.760 one K, and if you want to know how to 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.480 protect your hard earned dollars with physical gold, call my 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.639 friends at Freedom Goold USA.

Big tech 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.720 is obviously had a massive influence over public opinion in 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.000 this country. We saw a recent report that came out 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.919 just on TikTok, for example, where they were forty five 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.240 to one stories that were pro Palestinian pro Hamas over Israel. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.320 That's one example of how they've really been able to 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.320 shape public opinion, especially with young people, and the riots 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.640 and the chaos we're witnessing on college campuses right now. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.520 But there's also something else that's happened with big tech. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.880 I've been a victim of it. I spoke out again 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.560 against big tech a few years ago at a CPAC convention, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.560 and before I landed home, after I spoke out about 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.440 big tech, specifically fit Facebook, my accounts were shut down. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.400 They have never worked the same way as they did before. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.880 The reach has disappeared. I've witnessed it, and many other 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.080 conservative leaders out there are going through the same things. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.880 And it always seems to happen center right during a 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.880 big election cycle, where the Democrats get a free flow 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.600 of information out and conservatives get hammered and silenced. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.279 Well, that's exactly right. So I started last year as 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.760 the ranking member on the Senate Committee of Commerce, Science, 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.400 and Transportation, and from that position as the ranking member, 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.960 which means the senior Republican on that committee, I launched 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.880 an investigation into the abuse of power from big tech, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.480 and this past week we put out a major report. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.560 The report is entitled Weaponizing Terms of Service. How online 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.960 service providers use broad policies to silence conservatives. Now, there 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.440 are a lot of instances that we know about that 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.520 get a lot of publicity. We know, for example, that Twitter, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.320 before Elon Musk purchased them, suspended the account of the 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.279 Babylon Bee for making a joke about a Biden administration official. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.520 We know that both Facebook and Twitter suppressed stories about 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.400 Hudter Biden's laptop before the twenty twenty election. We know 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:20.480 that Facebook removed posts suggesting that COVID nineteen originated in 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.280 Wuhan Lab, something we talked about at length on this podcast, 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.160 and a theory that has now been confirmed both by 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.000 the Federal Department of Energy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.279 We know that YouTube took down a March twenty twenty 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.000 one video of a panel discussion with Florida Governor Ron 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.440 de Santis, during which he disputed claims that children needed 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.240 to wear face masks. We know that YouTube, also, which 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.960 is owned by Google, blocked access to a November twenty 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.920 twenty three episode of this podcast Verdict because we were 0:05:54.960 --> 0:06:00.000 criticizing the corporate media's favorable coverage of Hamas, and YouTube 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.560 deemed okay, you must be an adult to see what 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.719 is on the network news. We also know in twenty 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.080 twenty two, DirecTV dropped one America news network and less 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.680 than a year after Democrat leaders in Congress sent a 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.839 letter to the CEO calling on them to stop carrying 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.800 the network. We also know they did the same thing 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.800 to Newsmax. Now I lit Direct TV up and they 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.080 ended up bringing Newsmax back. We also know that into It, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.400 at the direction of its banking partners, refused to provide 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:36.400 payment processing and payroll services to gun manufacturers and sellers. 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.839 And we know that JP Morgan Chase closed the account 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.040 of the National Committee of Religious Freedom, which was created 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.440 by former State Department Ambassador at Large for International Religious 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.760 Freedom and former US Senator Sam Brownback. We know that 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.960 go fund me block the release of ten million dollars 0:06:55.960 --> 0:07:00.599 of donations to the Canadian Trucker's Freedom Convoy. We've seen 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.640 that happen over and over and over again. Well, what 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.840 this report does is it lays out an entirely new 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:13.080 area of discrimination, and it is using web based products 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:18.200 and services online service providers to ban conservative organizations from 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:23.480 using their technology. And it's going after the infrastructure that 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.840 is needed to communicate and in fact this investigation reveals 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:33.120 that online service providers are following a playbook for silencing 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:38.280 conservatives that leftist organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.640 which is wildly left wing and hates conservatives, and the 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:46.520 Anti Defamation League the ADL, they together put together this strategy, 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:52.200 this playbook to quote remove infrastructure services that conservative organizations 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.720 need to operate. And so I'm going to describe that 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.240 playbook and what they're doing in particular. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.960 When you look at their playbook and this amount of influence, 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:06.120 I mean, this can change and alter, certainly an election cycle. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.360 It can certainly, I would argue change a presidential election 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.840 as well. And that's the reason why they're doing this. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.880 When you think about, you know, you've got millions of 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.239 people that follow you Facebook. I've got you know, over 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.080 a million. But if you turn off and throttle either 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.200 one of us, then the reach that we have compared 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.200 to the left, it just disappears. It's the old thing, right, 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.080 if a big tree falls in the forest and no 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.280 one's around and it make a sound. And that's exactly 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.280 what they did. But it wasn't just to one or 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.160 two people. They were doing this to hundreds of top 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:50.600 conservative voices that people look to for their opinions, specifically 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.360 when it comes to election your issues. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.200 So that's exactly right. And what this report focuses on 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.440 is it uses a couple of key examples. It uses 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:03.400 number one slacks removal of libs of TikTok's workspace. It 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.480 focuses on event brights, removal of event pages for events 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.080 related to Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman documentary as 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.720 well as an event where Riley Gaines was scheduled to speak. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.000 And it focuses on Bontera's termination of its relationship with 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:23.240 Independent Women's Forum, which deprived that organization of major nonprofit 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:27.800 technology service provider services. And all of this follows. There 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.680 was a report that was put out by the Anti 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:36.040 Defamation League and it is called Bad Gateway. How deplatforming 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:41.920 affects extremist websites And here's what the ADL recommended. It says, 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:47.200 quote deplatforming websites removing infrastructure services they need to operate, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.839 such as website hosting, can reduce the spread and reach 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:55.200 of extremism and hate online. But when does deplatforming succeed? 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.800 And here's what ADL explained, quote, this report shows that 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.720 deplatforming can decree the popularity of extremist websites, especially when 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:08.360 done without warning and they go through We learned four 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.840 important lessons about how deplatforming affects extremist websites, by which 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.640 they mean anything right of center. Number one, it can 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:23.080 cause popularity rankings to decrease immediately. Number two, it may 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.640 take users a long time to return to the website. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:33.000 Sometimes the website never regains its previous popularity bingo number 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:38.079 three unexpected and unexpected as key. Unexpected deplatforming makes it 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.920 take longer for the website to regain its previous popularity levels. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.559 And number four, Replicating deplatform services such as discussious discussion 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:53.280 forums or live streaming video products on a standalone website 0:10:53.760 --> 0:11:00.560 presents significant challenges, including higher costs and smaller audiences. Now 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.000 I want to go into a little bit more. This 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.360 is what the ADL report. It has an entire section 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.760 that says what is deplatforming? And by the way, the 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.880 corporate media insists when we talk about deplatforming that we're 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.319 making it up. Well, if you actually read the blueprint, 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.240 they are very explicit. The left is explicit. They want 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.360 to silence use. So let me read from this ADL 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:26.640 report quote. There are three main categories of infrastructure that 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:33.800 keep websites running domain registrars, web hosting companies, and security 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.920 protection companies. Number one, the website must be able to 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.920 register and keep a domain name. A domain name such 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.920 as Google dot com or ADL dot org is how 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.720 visitors find a site. If a website is removed from 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:52.400 domain name services, it becomes much more difficult, if not impossible, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:57.599 to find. Number two, web hosting companies and content distribution 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:03.280 networks provide digital storage space for all the files, pictures, videos, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.160 and software that make up the content of a website. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.839 When a website loses its hosting provider, the site's content disappears. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:17.160 Losing a CDN a content distribution network can cause slow 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.040 service for high traffic sites. And number three, a third 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:26.280 category of infrastructure provider includes companies that protect websites from 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.320 external security risks such as distributed denial of service d 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:35.840 DOOS attacks. DDoS attacks flood a website with fake traffic 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:41.240 to overwhelm it, rendering it unable to answer normal user requests. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.400 If an infrastructure company, such as a network security firm 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:50.880 cloud Fare, refuses to provide DDoS protection to a vulnerable website. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.959 It is vulnerable to being flooded with traffic, rendering it inaccessible. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.520 So you look at this what we FINI found out 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.600 and what you just went through. The question is how 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.160 is it that these companies and I'm specifically referring to 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.440 big tech, are allowed to get away with this and 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:16.079 do this to many people that they're in business with. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.240 I used myself as the example again because I've experienced this. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.960 When you went into business and I felt like I 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.080 was in business with Facebook. They said, advertise with us, right, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.440 advertise your show, advertise your content, boost your content, spend 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.360 money with us, and we're going to help you grow 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.920 an audience and it'll be good for everyone. And then 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.880 all of a sudden they just shut you down. And 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.960 they were able to walk away and just say, oh, well, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.880 you violated our terms of service, or you did this, 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.240 or you posted too many things that liberals posted as 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.079 saying they were factually incorrect. The fact checkers came out 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.840 right the liberals on the left. They were fact checking 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.480 and putting things against conservatives. So they lose their reach, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.480 lose their ability to boost posts, lose their ability to advertise, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.400 and it was all being done to clearly influence public opinion, 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.240 and yet they've gotten away with it. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:07.760 So what's next. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.679 Well, what this report focuses on many of the deep 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:16.600 platforming steps by Facebook or Twitter or YouTube, they're very public. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.520 What this report focuses on as the ones that are 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.760 not public, which is the back office infrastructure. So let's 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.320 take for example, Slack, which is used for communication for 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:32.680 many online organizations and companies. Slack canceled libs of TikTok's 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.560 workspace for violating its terms of service and the terms 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.440 of service for prohibit users from quote engaging activity that 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.600 incites or encourages violence or hatred towards against individuals or groups. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:51.280 Slack determined that Libs of TikTok violated this policy based 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.680 on three social media posts concerning quote, gender affirming hysterectomies 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.960 and all age drag shows. Now here's the interesting thing. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.520 Slack shut down libs of TikTok's worksplace without any warning, 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.720 without any explanation as to how it is violated Slack's policy, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.160 and Slack's action caused Libs of TikTok to effectively lose 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.000 its use of Slax communications and force it to rely 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:20.000 entirely on cell phones to run its business. Now, listen 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.960 to this quote, which is fascinating, Slack told the Commerce 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:29.040 Committee told my investigation quote. What makes Libs of TikTok's 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.920 posts problematic is that Libs of TikTok has a specific audience, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.240 and they are taking this information and posting it to 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.840 that specific audience so that everyone in that audience sees 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.000 it at the same time. In other words, they didn't 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.120 even find objections with what Libs of TikTok was posting. 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.880 What they were mad at is conservatives were reading it 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.560 and that was enough reason to deplatform libs TikTok. 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.440 So when you shut down a business in essence the 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.640 way they did, is there any real in relief for 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.720 Libs of TikTok or others or is this one of 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.240 those they're too big to fail? 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:06.600 Right? 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.200 These companies are too big, they're protected and you're the 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.040 minion and just deal with it. And if you're in 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.240 and who cares if your life work is destroyed in 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.040 thirty seconds because they shut it off. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.680 So right now there is not immediate relief. You could 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.360 presumably file a breach of contract case. The biggest relief 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.560 and the reason I did this report is just sunshine. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.640 They're doing this in the dark. They're doing this without scrutiny. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.440 There is right now no federal law that this is prohibited. 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.480 I'll give you another example. Event Bright, which we focus 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.760 is on. Event Bright canceled pages for events hosted by 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.240 college Republican clubs concerning Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman? Film? 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:49.160 And it also canceled pages for an event featuring swimmer 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.120 Riley Gaines for violating its terms of service. Now, critically, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.760 no one involved in the decision. This is what they told. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.440 The committee watched the movie v What is a Woman', 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.639 so they never saw it, and they couldn't identify anything 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.560 objectionbal in the trailer, So they just didn't like the topic, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.560 so they decided to take it down. They relied instead 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.680 on Matt Walsh's statements about quote gender affirming surgeries, pronouns, 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.920 and is Johnny the Walris Children's book to reach the conclusion. Likewise, 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:26.160 event Bright determined that Riley Gains's event violated its policy 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.679 based on her social media post about biological men compeding 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:34.080 women's sports. They shut down the event page without any warning, 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.200 without any explanation as to how they violated this policy 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.800 without any way to fix it, and their actions ruined 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.520 advertisements that included QR coaches for the event pages. So 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.280 you know, a lot had been done to put out 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.639 the codes to say hey, come to this event, and 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.600 they forced the event organizers to quickly pivot to a 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.960 new method of providing tickets. And the committee asked event 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:02.560 Bright whether gained this statement. On October tenth, twenty twenty three, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:08.560 she posted on Twitter quote real women lack a Y chromosome, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:14.119 and we asked whether that violates event Bright's policy. Event 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:18.679 Bright responded that quote the post speaks for itself, so 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:23.119 they needn't answer that. How dare you say that someone 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.399 with a Y chromosome is not a woman. We don't 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.480 even need to dispute it. We have the power to 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:29.120 shut it down. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.560 So now moving forward, you shine light on this and 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.800 you talk about this is really being done in darkness 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.000 and we need to shine light on it. Was there 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:48.000 any nervousness from those that you're questioning. I want to 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.000 use the word remorse, but I can't imagine they're remorseful. 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.119 But is it going to at least make them pause 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.520 before they do it again? 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.520 Or since I'm ask you, Ben Have you seen this 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:58.160 on CNN? 0:18:58.520 --> 0:18:58.720 No? 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.720 Have you seen it on an AB, the NBCCBS, MSNBC nowhere, 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.360 You read it past, you read in the New York Times. No, no, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.080 the corporate media will not cover. I'll give you another example. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:14.359 So Bontera, which provides nonprofit management services, so it's back office, 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:18.480 but it's incredibly important and they're very few providers of this. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.000 They denied those services to Independent Women's Forum, which is 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.800 a conservative organization that is focused on advancing women's rights, 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.840 and Bontera concluded that it violates its policies, which require 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:37.240 customers to agree to refrain from advocacy denying quote LGBTQ 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.320 rights or denying a woman's right to reproductive choice, or 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:46.440 denying racial justice, or denying climate change, and their policies 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:51.639 also prohibit customers from quote promoting, encouraging, or facilitating hate speech, violence, 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.840 discrimination based on race, color, sexual orientation, marital status, gender, 0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:00.480 or identity expression. Bonterra notified Independent Women's Form of its 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:04.240 decision not to renew their contract without any explanation of 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.400 how the organization violated this policy. As a result, Independent 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.119 Women's Forum had to quickly move off Bonterra's platform and 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:16.480 obtain a replacement services provider. Bontera told the committee that 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.679 Independent Women's Forum violated its terms of service because the 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:24.800 organization quote works to restrict the rights of the LGBTQ community. 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.639 Bontera could not explain exactly how the group was working 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:35.040 to restrict LGBTQ rights, but generally pointed to Independent women 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:41.320 forums advocacy on issues like protecting women's sports and women's spaces. 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.760 So if you actually think that girls should compete in 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:48.480 girls sports, that is of view. That is not acceptable 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:53.200 and you will be denied online basic infrastructure from monopoly 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:54.560 and near monopoly providers. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.320 The amount of arrogance that weceive now from these companies 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.960 you've witnessed sit now firsthand tells you they feel like 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:04.879 they are protected by the current regime. 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:05.440 Am I wrong? 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:11.840 You are exactly right. And if you look at event 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.720 Bright for example, let's go back to Riley Gaines. So 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:20.240 Riley Gaines, they shut her down because they disagreed about 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.480 not her event, but about some posts that she had 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:29.919 put out. What they did not object to was an 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:36.240 event that we identified entitled Gaza and the Struggle for Palestine. Now, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.359 that event was flagged by Event Rights algorithm and it 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.119 was reviewed by its Trust and Safety team, but it 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.040 determined that that event did not violate its hateful events 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:52.040 policy in an October ninth, twenty twenty three statements. So 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.399 two days off after October seventh, here's what the event 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.359 sponsored the Palestinian American organization Networks said. It called the 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:04.720 October SI attack quote self defense measures and said that 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:09.040 quote Israel bears the full responsibility for those attacks, and 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.760 declare that quote the Palestinian people have the right to 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:15.040 defend themselves and to fight the occupation with all means available. 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:20.399 We salute the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in its resistance. 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:25.560 So understand saluting the mass murder of twelve hundred people, 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:30.040 the raping of women and girls that does not violate 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:37.639 their hateful speech policy. But saying that girls exist that does. 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:41.800 Saying that men should not compete against women in women's 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:47.000 sports that does. That is the utter hypocrisy and double 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:51.840 standards that allows. By the way, event Bright has also 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:57.639 allowed numerous quote stop Cop City events which support violent 0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:02.720 protesters who oppose the building of a police and firefighter 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:09.760 training facility. Likewise, event Bright created a map of Black 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.520 Lives Matter protests, many of which turn violent to help 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.159 users find them. So, in other words, actual events that 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.200 produce violence that end up killing people, that burn shops, 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:26.040 that fire bomb cars, those are not deem hateful and violent. 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:30.560 But if you say that women exists, you must be deplatformed. 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.479 Incredible, I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. If 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.480 you're like me and you're sick and tired of giving 0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.040 your money to woke liberal companies to hate your values, 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.280 then your cell phone provider maybe at the top of 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:43.360 the list and you don't even know it. You may 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:47.480 not realize that Big Mobile gives massive donations to democratic 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:52.160 causes candidates that are running at the local, state, national 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.119 level as well. You may not realize that when you 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.640 pay your bill to Big Mobile, you're supporting Planned Parenthood. 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:00.720 That's right. 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:05.760 They give major donations decade after decade. 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:06.760 To Planned Parenthood. 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.240 That's why I made the switch to Patriot Mobile because 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:17.680 Patriot Mobile is the only nationwide, conservative, dependable provider of 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.920 what you need, and that is access to all three 0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:24.000 major networks. That means the same towers you're using right 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.159 now are the same towers you're. 0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.720 Going to keep using. The other thing is switching is 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:30.359 now easy in twenty twenty four. 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:30.720 Look. 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.840 Number one reason why people don't switch internet providers or 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.119 cell phone providers is they think it takes forever because 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:42.720 it used to take forever. Well, not anymore. Switching is easy, 0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:44.959 and you can do it over the phone. You can 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.840 keep your same cell phone number you have now, keep 0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.879 your same cell phone you have right now, or upgrade 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.120 to a new one. But here's the payoff that you're 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.399 going to love. Every time you pay your bill to 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.000 Patriot Mobile, they take about five percent of your bill 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.879 at no extra cost to you, and they give it 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:05.000 back to organizations that support free speech, religious freedom, that 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:09.960 protect the sanctity of life of unborn children. They also 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:14.439 give money to Second Amendment organizations, and they support our military, 0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:19.040 our wounded warriors, our veterans, and our first responder heroes. 0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.840 So you're making a difference with every phone call you make. 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:26.080 So get away from Mobile and switch to Patriot the 0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:29.760
