Twitter File Recap 1: Twitter and the Deep State Parts 1 and 2 · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Forget shadow banning. That is what many conservatives thought were
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: happening to them on Twitter, and I'm sure now at Facebook,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Google and YouTube, well now we are have been vindicated.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: For years and years, conservatives like myself have said that
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we have been shadow banded. What does shadow banning mean?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It means, yes, you're on a platform like Twitter, but
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you don't really exist. Your tweets aren't shown to other people,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and it is impossible for what you tweet out to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: actually go viral. In other words, they're saying, we don't
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: like what you're saying, so we're gonna suppress what you're saying.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Big tree falls in the forest, no one's around. Did
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it actually make a sound? Well, forget shadow banning. It
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was worse than what we even thought. Now Twitter we
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: know had an entire blacklist, and I am assuming, based
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: on what we have seen over the last twenty four hours,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that I and many other conservatives are on the list.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The second installment of the Twitter files revealing Twitter's secret blacklists,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was dropped on Thursday night. Not too long after taking
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: over Twitter, billionaire Elon Muss pledged to release the documents
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: showing how under the company's previous ownership Twitter engaged in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the suppression of free speech. These three documents are now
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: referred to as the quote Twitter Files. We have known
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: now for quite some time that conservatives went from having
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the normal ability to reach people to being completely silenced
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on the platform. We saw big stories that were silenced.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: We saw big things like the Hunter Biden laptop story
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: be banned from being able to be used and even
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: shared in private messaging. We saw Twitter, and we know
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: this for a fact now they treated people that shared
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden story the same way they treated people
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: who shared child pornography. That's how much they were tipping
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the scales. Now Elon Musk has just tweeted out that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: quote Twitter is working on a software update that will
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: show your true accounts status, so you know clearly if
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you've been shadow band This is going to rock the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: world because you're going to see just how much the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: information was being suppressed by big tech. Now, not only
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: did Elon Musk's pledge to release the documents, but we're
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: now getting names. These files have been shared with two
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: independent journalists. We saw the first installment that came out
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on December the second, and it covered details surrounding Twitter
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. In his first
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: tweet of the Twitter Files Part two, this journalist White
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: revealed that the entire teams of Twitter employees actually put
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: together their own blacklists and in suppress and shadow bann
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the reach of certain accounts, virtually all of them conservative.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Something of shadow banning it again as the practice of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: suppressing a user on a platform, or a user and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the information that they're putting out there. It's that simple, Twitter.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: What they were doing was actually much worse than that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: This was no, by the way, small operation or some
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: rogue employee. There are lists and lists and lists, blacklists
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of whole groups of people who Twitter simply decided to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: crush and liberal Former New York Times reporter Why says
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that politics was driving at least part of the operation,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: if not all of it. Let me give you an example.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: One such blacklist user was a Stanford professor. This professor
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: had argued that COVID lockdowns were incredibly detrimental to young children,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: an argument that later turned out to be one hundred
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: percent correct. Because of this, the professor was put on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a Trends blacklist, which suppressed the reach of all of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: his tweets indefinitely. This essentially prevented this professor from ever
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: trending and the truth that he was telling or the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: questions he was asking from being seen by the masses. Additionally,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we now know that Life's revealed that conservative talk shows
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Dan biden Gino, a friend of mine, had also been
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: placed on a search blacklist. What is a search blacklist?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It means that you could search for him, but you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't find him. We also now know that conservative activists,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: also a friend of mine, Charlie Kirk, had been placed
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on a do not Amplify amplify blacklist after he became
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: one of the most engaging Twitter accounts on the entire platform.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear, by the way, what Dan
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Bongino had to say to Sean Hannity reacting to the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: news that he was put on a blacklist where you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: couldn't find him. And by the way, when he saying this,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: for years people said he was a kuk, a conspiracy theorists,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a crazy and nut job. Back to his words here,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and he said, the media is complicit and they were
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: lying to the American public. They spent a total of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: seven seconds this weekend on the Sunday programs talking about
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: this huge story that broke last Friday, or Elon Musk
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: himself saying, if you shut down dissenting voices, it is,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: by its very definition, election interference. He even admitted that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Twitter was acting as the propaganda arm of the Democratic
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Party in this election. Election interference. Now we're not even
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: including Meadow or Facebook called Zuckerberg. We're not including Google,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: we're not including Apple, we're not including YouTube. And I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think that Congress needs to demand that they become as
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: transparent as Elon Musk has been come here, and I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit for this. Yeah, listen
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: um to Elon Musk. I don't know if you're watching
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: or not, but if you see it later, just a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: heartfelt thank you. You know, I was talking to our
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: good friend Mark Levin before and his great radio show
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: said the same thing. Regardless of the yeah, thank you, Um,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Sean, regardless of what happens when we look forward, Dan,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you gotta love Mark. He's the best guest. He's the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: only one that tells you that's it, I'm done, go ahead.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I know. Hell when he's when you're when you're called
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the great one, you can do that kind of stuff.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That's why you get mark. But when Elon Musk, you know, well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: regardless of what happens, he may lose legitimately may lose
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars on this acquisition. I don't think he will.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think he's a creative guy, and I think he's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: gonna build this thing out to be something special. But
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: he has done a service to this country. He had
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: He has literally, not figuratively changed the history of I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: think how big tech is going to operate moving forward.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: He's exposed one key point. I want the audio. It's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: understands that what the press did to collude and interfere
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and potentially fleeced the twenty twenty election away from Donald
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Trump based on based on solid data a polling taken
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: afterwards about how people would have voted if they would
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: have known about the hunter Biden's story. But not get
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: into any other stuff. I'm talking strictly about that the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: media intentionally did that. Sean, this is my point. This
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't misfeasance, right. Misfeasance is different. You see someone trip
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: on the sidewalk in front of you, you don't help him,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that's misfeasance. That's not what this was. This was malfeasance.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: A guy trips on the sidewalk in front of you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and you kick him in the teeth as he's getting up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: They did this on purpose. This was active collusion between
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the FBI, people in the DHS, the d NI people
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: at the FEC who had heard about this stuff, Twitter,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and big tech to steal away your country. And you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: know what, listen to me, folks, They did it, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is trying to help you get it back
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to the Republicans in Congress who now are about to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: take over in January, you better grow some moose nuts
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and you better do something about this, or we're not
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: going to have a damn country left. This is the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: public Square. I love Fox News and I love working here,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: but Sean, even though we have the biggest shows in primetime,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it's still just a small population of America. We cannot
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: win an election in the future with just Fox News.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You need Twitter to be open, you need Facebook to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: be open, you need these other platforms. It's why I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: put my money behind these other things too, because, like
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you said, I'm trying to build this parallel economy out
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I'm public Enemy number one to these
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: guys showing I don't know, but I'm telling you. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: promise you as I don't whine about it every day
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: on my show because I'm not a snowflake. You have
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: no idea what goes on behind the scenes with Facebook
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: fact checking my page over nonsense, Google banning US, YouTube
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: banning US, Twitter shadow banning us. It's relentless. It never stops.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: They put a guitar, get on my back for a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: long time. Now, Dan Bongino's right, by the way, He's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: absolutely right what's happening. And he's not the only one
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that was affected this way. One of the other people
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that was affected in a major way that is a name,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a man by the name of Charlie Kirk. Now, Charlie
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Kirk had a very active Twitter account. He had a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: massive amount of engagement at Twitter. And the reason why
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: he had that engage is because he was connecting with
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: young people and conservatives and they was trying to build
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a conservative base to fight back against liberals and schools
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and colleges, woke professors and all that they were involved
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in in public education. He was taking on universities around
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the country and these Twitter bomb shelf files Part two
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: prove what all conservatives have long been not just suspected
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of it, but had been accusing Twitter and big tech
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of doing. You get on a list, and I believe
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I was on this list because our Twitter reach just
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: died overnight. We went from a half million followers to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty something thousand, and it didn't move
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: for four years. And a tweet for us would be
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a good tweet if it got ten people that retweeted it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Ten people, that's it. Charlie Kirk found out he was targeted.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: All of his suspicions were true. Right he was a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. No, no no, no, he wasn't a conspiracy theorist
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: because he saw it in real time, just like I did.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk is someone else who apparently was censored by Twitter,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: as the founder in president of Turning Point USA. We
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: just told you that. Barry Weie a few moments ago
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: reported that internally Twitter censors set Charlie Kirk's account to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: do not amplify status. Charlie Kirk joins us right now, Charlie,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: thanks so much for coming on. You're just hearing this too.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, this just happened. This is happening in fact,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: as we talked about it. But do you have any
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: idea which of your tweets set this censorship in motion?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I could probably guess. You know, a couple of years ago,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Axios did a study that showed that our Twitter account
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: had was the fourth most engaged Twitter account on the planet,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: right up there with President Trump. I mean, I've been
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: using Twitter for a decade. Happened to understand it really well,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and we were averaging one hundred and fifteen thousand retweets
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a day when we were really at our peak, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: we would talk about, for example, in the midst of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the virus, how lockdowns might not be the best decision.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We started talking about how hey, I asked the question,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: are there other treatments that we might want to talk about?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So it could have been that. But then all of
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a sudden, we saw off a cliff. Almost immediately, our engagement,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: our retweets disappear. I started to talk about this a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: lot Tucker, and I was called the conspiracy theorist. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was smeared and I started the email crazy, yes exactly,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: well you're quot I'm like, wait, hold on a second.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I used to get one hundred fifteen thousand retweets. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: then it's kind of one of those things, right Tucker,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: where they convince you to stop talking about it because
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you sound like, Okay, who cares about your Twitter account?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Not a big deal. And now you see actual verified
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: documents where my Twitter account was labeled as do not
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: amplify NSFW, which I could only fir means not safe
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: for work, other like threat tags. They're treating my Twitter
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: account with more scrutiny and censorship than the Prime Minister
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of Iran than hamas the people that do actual terroristic
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: type damage. And now we have evidence to show that's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: exactly why my Twitter A count the last couple of
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: years has been down ninety five percent in engagement. They
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: saw what I had to say as a direct threat
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to the regime. You think about what Charlie Kirk just
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: said there about he has a Twitter account that is silenced.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: But the terrorists in al Qaeda, in the Taliban, in Iran,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they don't have their tweets silence or censored. The regime
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: in China and in Russia do not have their tweet
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: silence because if you went after any of them and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you silenced them, then they would in that country say fine,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to ban the terms of use of service
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. Don't think China wouldn't do that in one second.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: But in America, Charlie Kirk can only do what I did, right,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I know I'm being censored, and they say, oh, you're
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist. And remember they also lied about this.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I really want to go back and remind you what
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the head of Twitter said about this. Okay, the head
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of Twitter said back in the day that there was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not shadow banning going on, like this didn't happen. It
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't something that they would ever be doing, and if
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you believed it, you were really considered to be crazy. Dorsey,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: by the way, was also asked not just about shadow banning,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: but also about censoring just in general, like censoring conservative,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: censoring people. He's been lying about this for years. When
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: he was a Twitter CEO. He went on the Today
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Show in an exclusive interview. All right, and he went
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: on there with Matt Lowerd. This like two pis of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: birds of a feather, you know, flock together, two peas
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: in a pod. I mean, this was the ideal person, right,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You got these two scumbags talking to the American people,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and trying to make them believe that they don't shadow band,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they don't censor anyone. Listen, I sent tweet out yesterday
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: telling my followers, my measly number of followers that you
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: were going to be on and asking what questions they
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: would like you asked. There was an enormous outpouring of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: questions about censorship. So let me ask you, point plank.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Does Twitter censor the content of its users? Does it
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: hide what it would consider inflammatory comments, whether they be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: social or political? Absolutely not, Twitter, absolutely not. Okay, all right,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: so think about how long ago, how long ago it
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: was when Matt lower was the host of the Today's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Show years ago, now right, this was a long, long,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: long time ago. And Jack Dorsey is there for this
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: one on one and he's asked, so you do this?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not, and then he goes on to say this
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and all this. He knows the lie at the time
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he's doing it. There's always been about controls. People can
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: follow whoever they want, and it's hard job to make
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: sure they see the most the most important things and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the things that don't matter to them. So anybody can
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: say anything on Twitter. The company does not go in
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: there and take certain things out that can be dangerous.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: But there's certain there's certainly tweets that promote violence, which
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is against our terms of service, and people have controls
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to block, and people have controls to mute. But what
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: about the company who decides the difference between criticism and hate.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: These are the individuals. So you can follow who you want,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and if it's something you want to see, you continue
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to follow it. So he was lying. While he was
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: saying this, he had hundreds of employees every day dealing
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: with thousands of requests, some of them from government officials,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: some of it from the Deep State, of it from
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee, some of it from elected officials,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: some of it from journalists, some of it from liberals
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: who worked with conservatives who were sending notes to Twitter saying, hey,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: can you ban this guy? That's where I come in here.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt that I would silenced by Twitter
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and Facebook during the same week when I got my
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: first chance to host a show for an entire week.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt that the hit piece that was
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: done on me by Media Matters was done at the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: same time when they silenced and started shutting me down
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: on Facebook and Twitter at the same time, and my
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook accounts have never been the same since
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that week when I went on to host a show
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: at CNN for an entire week. Now, why would they
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: do that to me? During that week, I'll tell you why.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: There was too many liberals at CNN that didn't want
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: him to see me succeed, much less host a TV show.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And that was the week when Media Matters came out
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and started pounding me because they wanted to get rid
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of me. Now, I believe that would probably came from
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: internally at CNN. There was too many liberals there that said,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: this is too scary Ben Ferguson possibly doing a TV
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: show and getting ratings that could turn into something. We
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: got to make sure that number one, he can't reach
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: his followers on Twitter at the time that were like
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a half million and Facebook. And then we're gonna put
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: out this Media Matters article on him to attack him,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: so maybe they'll him off the air. That's how these
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: people work, And I have no doubt in my mind
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: since that date, my Twitter account has been in essence worthless.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna find this out because Elon Mosca said
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he's going to give out all the names of all
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the people that had been silenced. But when Jack Dorsey
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: was doing this interview that I just played for you,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: he knew he was lying to you, and he knew
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that he was telling you something that was that was laughable.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And the people within Twitter were probably dying, laughing, knee
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: slapping as they're watching the Today's Show, going can you
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: believe the power that we have? This is amazing. He
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: also lied again when he did a interview on CNN
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: with you know, mister potato head himself, the dude that's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: been fired, Brian Skelter, one of the scumbags at CNN
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that would silence and censor people and tell his friends
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: in big tech to attack conservatives. This guy who mocked
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump asked the question about Trump like, hey, Donald
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Trump says you're shadow banning and silencing him and their conservatives.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And listen to Jack Dorsey's response to this question. The
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: President called you out for shadow banning. What is the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: truth around that idea? So I think a lot of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the statements behind the statement and the question behind the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: question is look, shadow banning is a very widely defined term.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: There's not one single definition. So the definition that we
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: found that seems to resonate with the most people, is
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you know, not amplifying particular messages, or if someone puts
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: out a tweet hiding that tweet from everyone without that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: person who tweeted it knowing about it. But the real
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: question behind the question is are we doing something according
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to political ideology or viewpoints? And we are not. Period.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: We do not look at content with regards to political
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior. Let me ask
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: about specific questions. Has Twitter ever been involved in shadow
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: banning with regards to political viewpoint or ideology? We look
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: at behavior. So if my count is right in real
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: time as we're listening to this together, he just lied
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to you in one response six times, six times he
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: knew that he was lying to you. Does Twitter silence people? Yes?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Do they do it based on their beliefs? Yes? Is
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it attacking a conservative viewpoint? Yes? Is shadow banning happening
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: based on his definition? Absolutely? It was. He lies to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you and says no, this never happened when he obviously
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: knows yes, it does happen, and it happened hundreds of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: times per day. Were there accounts that had massive reach
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, that reach literally disappeared overnight
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and you never got them off of the silencing status.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: For years, they were indefinitely banned from being successful or
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: being seen on Twitter. Yes, he lied to you on
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: all of it, and he knew he line, because we
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: now know from the internal files that not only was
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: he did he know about this program at Twitter, he
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: was involved in it in a part of it. He
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: was in part of the decision making process. I need
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to tell you about my good friends at Legacy Precious Metals.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: If you're paying attention, you've seen that the stock market
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: has been plummeting. Many economists are predicting this is just
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the beginning and we could see a market pullback well
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: into twenty twenty three. If that happens, you're going to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: see tremendous losses in your portfolio. Many of you have
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: already seen those losses. That is where there's an upside

• 21:28
  Speaker 1: There was something else that also happened. This was several
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: years ago. There were starting to be articles that were
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: written and reviews that were being written. You heard earliader
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk mentioned Axios did an expose about the silencing
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of their Twitter account and did the dad and the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: research and the analysis on all of it, and it
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: was it was damning. And so what happened was Big
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Tech was being accused by virtually every talk show host
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that was significant in the country of silencing them, shadow
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: banning them. We were hearing from listeners and callers that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: were calling in and they were saying over and over again, hey,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: we got a problem here, like we can't find you.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I can't find your stuff, I can't find your information.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: We really can't find out what's happening right now with you.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And we're really concerned about this, right like like we're like,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: we're genuinely concerned, and we started talking about it, and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: then these organizations got smart. Facebook, for example, had an
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: emergency meeting. I had friends that were in this meeting.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: They were flown out to California and given a briefing
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on how basically, we're not censoring or silencing conservatives, we're
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: not shadow banning people. We want to work with you guys.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: If you have any concerns, please call us. Yah yah yah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: This is when they were at least trying to fake it. Okay.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Twitter apparently did the same thing, and then they did
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: a pr kind of you know, move forward with this subject.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And what they did was they called prominent conservatives who
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: had large audience and they actually made themselves available to
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: do different interviews. Jack Dorsey for example, did this as well,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: because they understood this could get sticky, so they needed
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to go out there and just reassure the public we're
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: not really doing this, and then turn conservatives that were
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: being shadow into basically conspiracy theorist theorists right, Q and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: on and all that crazy they would they would label you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Is it crazy for even implying they were doing this
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: because they were on the record on legitimate shows right
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: putting out this propaganda. Sean Hannity got one of these interviews.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I remember this, and this was the lies told to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Hannity during that time. Let me ask about specific questions
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: as Twitter ever been involved in shadow banning. We do
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: not shadow ban according to political ideology or viewpoint or content.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: That's Jack Dorsey saying that to Sean Handy on Shawn
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Handy's TV show, our radio show. I should say, we
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: do not shadow ampeel based on content political viewpoints. He's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: lying to you, but he's doing this from a PR
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: firm perspective perfectly. Hey, we're gonna get you on China
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Handy's show. And I'm sure Jack Dorsey's like, why the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: hell am I going on his show? Because this is
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: going to be an issue if you don't go on
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a show, go on a show and tell the conservative
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: world that we're just not doing this, and he did
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it and he sold it. Period. We every model that
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: we have on the network is really looking at the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: behaviors on the network. We take those behaviors as signals,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and I do want to point out that these signals
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: evolve minute like, minute by minute, hourly by hourly. These
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: are not scarlet permanent letters that people then take on
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: as a badge and will never be ranked high in
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: search or not allowed to trend or ranked high in conversation.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: So these are models that are looking at behaviors and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: behaviors of bad faith actors who intend to manipulate, distract,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: divide a conversation. This is pathological line. You know you're
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: going to do an interview with Sean Hannity. You know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Sean Handy's going to ask you the question that he's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: been talking about for months on end with a massive
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: amount of evidence that you're silencing and shadow banning conservative
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Twitter accounts so that you can interfere in our elections
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in this country. And you go on there from a
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: PR perspective, a PR standpoint to kind of make the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: story go away and you look like you're totally being transparent.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: This is no different than the Ponzi scheme interviews that
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: were just being done by this guy with XTF recently. Right,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: go on, CNBC, tell them everything's perfect, Tell them everything's fine.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Give hundreds of millions of dollars, become the second biggest
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: donor to the Democratic Party, and they'll let you do
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: your Ponzi scheme and look the other way as long
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: as you're on the team of the Democrats. That is
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: exactly what was happening here with Twitter. I'm sure with Facebook, Okay,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it's exactly what was happening just with Twitter, But Facebook
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and Google and Apple and YouTube, they're all doing this.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: But to look you in the eye and tell you, no, no, no,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: you're the crazy one, right, you are the you are
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the crazy one. We're not crazy, you're crazy. You're the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: one that's paranoid. You're the one that's part of Q
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and on. In fact, let's just go back to Congress
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: for a second. Twitter CEO was testifying before a House panel,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and he knew that he was lying to Congress when
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: he was asked this question by a congressman who then
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to the Twitter ceo. And this is his response to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: this whole hearing. And the reason that Twitter, somehow, with
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: all the other social media platforms out there, got the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: singular honor to sit in front of this committee is
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: because there's some implication that your site is trying to
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: censor conservative voices on your platform. Now, when you tried
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to explain the shadow banning, as I understand it, you
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: had a system where if people who were following people
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: had some behaviors, that that was the trigger that allowed
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that caused you to do the shadow banning. So you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: were really like an equal opportunity shadow banner. Right, You
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: didn't just shadow bann for conservative Republicans. You shadow band
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: six hundred thousand people across your entire platform, across the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: globe who had people following them that had certain behaviors
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that caused you to dongrade them coming up. Is that correct? Now?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I love this. By the way, this is a Democrat
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: idiot from Pennsylvania, Democrat congressman saying, well, if there is
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: shadow banning, it's not like you're just targeting conservatives, because
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this is what it got even worse for Twitter. Right,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Dorisy's there with his nose ring in probably you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: just you know, I got finished smoking a ball, and
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: he's and he's just kind of you know, he's before Congress,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't really care because he knows that everybody's
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: doing this and It's like, well, I'm not going down
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: as long as I own the company. Couldn't imagine at
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: this point when he's answering this question that Elon Musk
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: was gonna buy his company, right and in a hostile takeover.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: He didn't imagine that would ever come out what they
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: were actually doing and shadow banning people and this Democrats like, well,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: even if you did do this, you're doing it on
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: an issue, not on politics. You're not just picking three
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: conservatives and doing this to them. Now, you're doing it
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: one hundreds of thousands of people, right, all right, ready
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: for the lie in front of Congress. Here it is,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: so this was never targeted at conservative Republicans. This was
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: targeted to a group of six hundred thousand people because
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: of the people who followed them. And then you determined
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that wasn't fair and you corrected that practice. Is that correct? So,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: just for the record, since you've been singled out as
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a social media platform before this committee, Twitter undertook no
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: behavior to selectively censor conservative Republicans or conservative voices on
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: your platform. Is that correct? Good? So let the record
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: reflect that, because that's the whole reasons we're here. Because
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: House Leader Kevin McCarthy wrote our chairman a letter and said, hey,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: this is going on and we think your committee should
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: investigate it and it's a load of crap. Well, there
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: it is. It's a load of crap, right, he just
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: lied to Congress. Will there'll be any accountability for lying
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to Congress? I doubt it because he's a Democrat. If
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you lie to congressman, Democrat, you get a slap on
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the back the XTF chairman. I go back to the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme of XDF for a second, just to show
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you the example. As long as you're on the Democrats team,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: they will do nothing but protect you when you're busted
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: screwing up. The number two investor in the Democratic Party
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and the midterm elections was the guy who two days
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: after the midterm elections files for bankruptcy. Basically, his company
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: goes bankrupt. There's no money, There's billions and billions of
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: dollars that are missing. But hey, at least he funneled
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand the Democratic Party first, and we'll
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: look the other way. You throw this guy in front
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: of Congress, and what do you tell people over and
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: over again? You tell them that what they believe Kevin McCarthy.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: The Republicans, you're crazy. You ask them the question, did
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you shout out and Republicans know? Would you pick up
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Republicans on purpose? No? Did you do any of that's
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: on purpose? No, you didn't do any of it. Now,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't just politics. Right, There's another part of
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: this story. This was anything that Twitter didn't want to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: let out. There that anything Twitter didn't want to exist.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: This included stuff with covid. Okay, covid was a big
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: part of this. I want to go back to the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: story the doctor real quick, this professor who was asking
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: genuine questions about lockdowns and could it negatively affect children.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Listen to what Miranda defined said about this last night,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: spooking Google, We're doing it. What are you think it's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: going on on YouTube? We'll likely never know, but we
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: can certainly guess. Miranda Divine was an early target of
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: censorship by Twitter. Of course, she works at the New
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: York Post, which broke the Hunter Biden laptop stories. She's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: been following it ever since. She joins US tonight with
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: reaction to the second tranche of documents. What do you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: make of this so far? Miranda Look, it's I guess
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: not surprising, as you said, but it is really gratifying
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to see it laid out in policies and to catch
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: out those top people at Twitter in their lies, because
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: they did lie. They said that there was no shadow
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: banning going on, where you know, we knew just by
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: our own experience on Twitter. I, for instance, since Elon
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Musk brought in, have increased my follower account by forty percent,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and that's just something that's experienced by conservatives across the board.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: And you notice from all the names that Barry Weiss
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: has brought up tonight, they're all conservatives. And Barry Weiss
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: is not a conservative. She's ex New York Times. I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: guess she'd be a red pilled liberal if anything, And
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: if there were left wingers that had been banned, you
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: can bet that she would have named them to be
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: equal opportunity. I think Matt Taibi was snowed, probably by
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: James Baker. He said a couple of things that didn't
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: ring true with those first batch of Twitter files, like
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the federal government wasn't involved, and so I think now
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: that Elon Musk has kind of been red pilled himself
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and James Baker has gone, we might see more things
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that are useful. But of course, you know, as Tracey
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: just said, there's still nothing on the FBI, but it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: really part of an overall censorship scheme, and it was
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: anything that was, you know, anybody dissenting against the Biden administration,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: against federal agencies like the CDC, you know, anything for instance.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of this. I think Elon Musk
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: is getting ahead of the revelations that we're seeing out
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of that incredible lawsuit being wrought by Eric Schmidt, the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Attorney General now Senator elect from Missouri and the Attorney
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: General of Louisiana. They are suing the Biden administration for
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: violation of the First Amendment for using the social media
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: companies to do their dirty work, and that included banning
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: or shadow banning. J Batichara, who is an eminent physician
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: from Stanford, multiple degrees and incredibly sober, sensible, rational, thoughtful person,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: one of the three founders of the Great Barrington Declaration,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: which just said it wasn't COVID denying, it was just
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: saying we know enough to know that it really just
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: hits the elderly and the infirm. So they should be
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: protected and let younger people who aren't affected keep the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: economy going and basically create herd immunity by getting sick
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the virus and not dying. And that was just the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: most eminently sensible thing for everybody's mental health, physical health,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and economic health. And he was shadow banned, he and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: every sensible person online who said children should not be
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: getting these shots because the ill effects outweighed the benefits.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: And they were right. And unfortunately, you know, doctor Fauci
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and all these people who just decided they were going
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to suppress the truth, they probably cost people's lives. Of
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: course they did, of course they did. And it was strategic.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't censoring people because they were annoying.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: They were censoring people because they were providing factual information
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: that might have stopped certain policies or election results from happening. So,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: you know, this was sophisticated and had a huge effect
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: on American society. I would say a huge effect. If
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: you can take out all the big Republican names, you
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: can go on TV like Jack Dorsey did saying I
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: we never censored any concertism. You're crazy. If you take
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: away the reach of every conservative talk showst in the country,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: every conservative commentator in the country. That's significant. Imagine how
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you can change an election. Imagine what you can do
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: when you can silence and ban a story and then
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: treat people that are trying to share that story about
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop like they are sharing child pornography. Imagine
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: how successful you can be an election after election if
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, the Deep State, the FBI, Hillary Clinton's campaign,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's campaign can just send a note to big
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Tech saying, this guy's a pain in our ass. Can
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you silence him? Make him disappear? Can you make it
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: where Dan Bonino? You when you search his name you
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: can't even find him. Yeah, we can do that for you,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: no problem. It's a lot easier to want to actions.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to do shady and corrupt things
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: if you know that if the shady and corrupt things
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: are actually exposed, that you can just shut down them
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: being exposed. In other words, you've won the game no
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: matter what you do. You want to know why Democrats
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: have gotten so bold, why they've gotten so good at
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: doing god awful things. This is why, because there's zero
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: accountability when they get caught zero. I'll say it again, zero.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Twitter is a crime scene. Not my words, but the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: words of the guy who just bought it, Elon Musk
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: as he continues to expose what was happening behind the scenes.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Twitter exposed in a very big, big way. Now Democrats
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: are concerned this could turn into an issue. There were
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: sensor happy executives that use tools to suppress conservative news,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: conserve organizations, and conservative commentators, as well as possibly politicians.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: We also know that Twitter met with federal agencies amid
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: the hunter By laptop scandal and allowed the FBI to
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: actually report tweets to Twitter left ex executives blacklisted and
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: twisted rules, made up rules, and admitted that there were
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: some people that didn't even commit terms of service issues
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: on Twitter that still got silenced and censored, including Donald Trump.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: The fourth part of the Twitter file series was published
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Saturday night by a journalist by the name of Michael Sallenberger,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: outlining how Twitter executives twisted the platform's rules with the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: intention of blacklisting former President Donald Trump. On January the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: seventh of twenty twenty, in a recently published thread, the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: journalists outline the fourth release of the Twitter file series
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: detailing the internal workings at Twitter and conversations between executives
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: ahead of the banning of former President Donald Trump. Michael
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: wrote the Removal of Donald Trump on January seventh. As
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the pressure builds, Twitter executives build the case for a
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: permanent ban, making it clear that this was what they
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: were going to do all along. The journalist states that
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: following the events of the US Capital on January sixth,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Twitter faced immense pressure to ban President Trump, with many
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: claiming they needed to ban Trump quote for safety reasons.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: During the time, then CEO Jack Dorsey was on vacation,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: appeared to delegate much of the decision making to other
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: top executives, including the global head of Trust and Safety,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: You'll Roth, and the head of Legal Policy and Trust,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: the Platform Censorship Queen. After the events of January the sixth,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the internal and external pressure on the CEO grew. In fact,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: even former First Lady Michelle Obama we now know, got
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: in on the action, yes, including tech journalists, high tech vcs,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and many others who were calling on Twitter to permanently
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: ban Donald Trump. Dorsey, again on vacation the week of
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: January the fourth or the eighth, he phoned into meetings,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: but also delegated much of the handling the situation to
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the senior executives who ran with it. On January the seventh,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Dorsey emailed employees saying that the platform must remain consistent
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: in its policies quote, including allowing users to return to
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the platform following temporary bands. Roth re assured an employee
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that people who care about this aren't happy with where
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: we are. Roth later excited damned colleague, stating, guess what,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Jack just approved repeat offender for civic integrity. This would
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: allow Twitter to create a system where five violations of
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: rules would result in a permanent suspension. Now, before I
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: get into more of this story, I want to say
• 40:24

  Speaker 1: ben now. On January the seventh, Jack emails employees, saying
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Twitter needs to remain consistent, but after that you'll Ross
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: says jack emails have been fine, but ultimately I think
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: people want to hear from us or someone closer to
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the specifics of this who can reassure them that people
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: who care about this are thinking deeply about these problems
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: and aren't happy with where we are. A few engineers
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: have reached out to me directly about it, and I'm
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: chatting your row rights with them, but it's so clear
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: they just want to know what that someone is doing
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: something about this, and and it's not that we're ignoring
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the issues here. Another said, I think there's also an
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: opportunity here to help you understand that while it seems
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: obvious and simple that we should do something, it's an
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: opportunity for us to talk about permanent bands of personal accounts. Quote.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: We can't afford to take that immediate action without first
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: playing the movie out and anticipating all the other things
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: that can happen, and then figure out the plans for
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: those possible scenarios. Example, if we suspend a personal account
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: and he posts the same thing on the official government
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: account referring to Donald Trump, do we suspend that too.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: People can be forgiven for not thinking beyond the thing
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that's immediately in front of them, But Jack, Vijaia Dell,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: you don't have the luxury of just pulling the trigger
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: without thinking things through. We tell them repeatedly that people
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: are on it, and people are working on it, and
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: they're scratching their heads wondering how hard can it be
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: decided if this single account is in violation quote unquote,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Around eleven thirty am Roth DM's colleagues with the news
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: that he's excited to share. Guess why, he writes, Jack
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: disapproved repeat offenders for civic integrity. The new approach would
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: create a system where five strikes means you get a
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: permanent suspension. All caps guess what. He goes on to say.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Directional approach would be something like labels which are severe
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: enough to result in disabled engagements, incurred incurse strikes, strikes
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: number one label only, strike label only, strike three, label
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: twelve plus hour timeout, strike four, label plus seven day timeout,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: strike five, permanent suspension. They're getting excited because now they
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: have a pathway to getting rid of anyone they don't like.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Then we got an internal message, it says progress, exclaims
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: a member of Ross Trump and Safety team. The exchange
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: between Roth and his colleagues make it clear that they've
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: been pushing Jack Dorsey for greater restrictions on the speech
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Twitter allows around elections. The colleagues then went on to say,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: we want to know if the decision means Trump can
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: finally be banned. The person asked, does that does the
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: incitement to violence an aspect change that calculus? Ross says
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. Trump continues to just have this one strike remaining,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: one strike reign remaining, and you didn't even know about
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: the other ones ross colleagues quietly talk about this and
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: keep talking about the incitement of violence heavily foreshadows what
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: will happen the following day, And then on January eighth,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Twitter announces that permanent ban on Donald Trump due to
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the risk of further incitement of violent Twitter says that
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: its ban is based on specifically quote how Trump tweets
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: are being received and quote interpreted, But in twenty nineteen,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Twitter said it did not attempt to determine all potential
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: interpretations of the content or its intent. The only serious
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: concern we found expressed within Twitter over the implications for
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: free speech and democracy of banning Trump came from a
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: junior person the organization. It was tucked away in a
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: lower level Slack channel known as Site Integrity AUTO. The
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: person said, quote this might be an unpopular opinion, but
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: one staff ad hoc decisions like this that don't appear
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: rooted in policy are I am ho slippery slope and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: reflecting alternately alternatively equally dictorial problem. This now appears to
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: be a fiat by an online platform CEO with a
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: global present that can gate keep speech for the entire world,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: which seems unsustainable. The person wrote, and the slack yes
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: might be unpopular. Very clearly, it was dictator and tyrant
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: esque focus on silencing free speech at Twitter as long
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: as you were on the right. It's not a conspiracy theory.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: It happened, It was real, and it was happening all
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: the time. Now, before I get into more of that,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends over at
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile real quick. You may see a lot of
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: bait and switch offers for free phones, free iPhones, Well,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: they're usually too good to be true. Just like freedom itself,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: nothing is free. Mobile phone companies not only lock you
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: into long term contracts, but they also build the price
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: of the phone into your bill with hidden fees. With
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, they can show you how to get that
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: same iPhone interest free without the games and no contract

  Speaker 1: So if you want to get great service and you
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: want to know you're working with a company that supports
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: conservative causes, that every month when you pay your bill.

  Speaker 1: They actually take a portion of your bill and they

• 48:06
  Speaker 1: want to let you hear something else real quick, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: that deals with Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy was asked about
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: the fifty one Intel agents. You may remember they came
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: out and the way to wake of the Hunter Biden files.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Those fifty one agents sign that letter telling the world
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: that they believe that the Hunter Biden laptop story had
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: quote all the mark markings of Russian disinformation. In other words,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: don't believe the story. Stories should never be believed. This
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: story is crap. This story is a story that no
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: one should look at and take it seriously. This story
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: was made up and created by the Russians to influence
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: our elections. Fifty one of them decided it was a
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: good idea to do this, folks, fifty one of them.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Fifty one of them did this. Yeah, it's a problem.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Makes me angry, by the way, Why did they do
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: this when they knew that they were lying to the
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: American people. They knew it, folks, they knew they were
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: lying to the American people. Listen to what Kevin McCarthy
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: had to say about moving forward with the Republicans in
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the House if he's a speaker, Speaker of the House,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, last question. We saw the revelations coming out
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of Twitter as Elon musk is unmasking the corruption that
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: existed there in the denials that they testified about. So
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: for you personally, you have another move you want to make.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Not only do we want to hear from the former
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: executives at Twitter and maybe the other entities, you have
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: something else you want to say, Yeah, I do, because
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: this is egregious what we're finding. They shouldn't have Section
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: two thirty to start out with. But we also have
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: to go further. What did Facebook and Google do as well?
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Because they became an arm of the Democratic Party in
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: the arm of government. But difference. We're going to do
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: those fifty one Intel agents that signed a letter that
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: said the Hunter Biden information was all wrong, was Russia collusion.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Many of them have a security clearance. We're going to
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: bring them before committee. I'm going to have them have
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: a hearing, bring them and subpoena them before committee. Why
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: did they sign it? Why did they lie to the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: American public? A clapper of Brennan, Why did you use
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: the reputation that America was able to give to you
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: more information but use it for a political purpose and
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: lie to the American public is exactly what Adam Shift
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: has done to us, and this has got to stop.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: You deserve to be speaker. I hope you get the votes.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. Appreciated Kevin McCarthy again,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: he's up and trying to deal with us right trying
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: to decide how this is going to work. But he's
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: making it clear, Hey, I'm not backing down. We're going
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to keep moving forward. We're going to ask these people,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: We're going to force them to come in. We're going
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: to force them to answer questions about what you guys
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: knew and when did you know it because if you
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: had this top secret clearance, you knew that the Hunter
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Biden laptop wasn't a lie. You knew the Hunter Biden
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: laptop was not just kind of real, it was extremely real.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: You knew that that laptop was authentic. You knew that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: the information in it was information that had already been
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: verified as being legitimate by the FBI. In fact, you
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: knew there was a cover up. You knew that the
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: people the FBI that had this laptop buried the laptop
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: so that it wouldn't see the light of day. And
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: you knew the reason why that was happening is because
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: you were terrified that if it came out and you
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: said it was real, that Joe Biden wouldn't win the election,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: that it would guarantee Donald Trump another four years. And
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: so fifty one different people in the Intel Committee all
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: came out and they all signed this letter, and they
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: all did it on purpose. They should testify on all
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: of this. They will testify. Two different representatives have now
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: issued an ultimatum to Twitter employees who censored the Hunter
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Biden laptop story. James Comer and Jim Jordan spoke earlier
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: this week with Sean Hannity about this issue, saying, we're
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: going to hold them accountable as well. Take a listen
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: with you. Now that we know the FBI had this
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: laptop for eleven months, there's low hanging fruit crimes. But
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: that's not the big one. You said when you made
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: your announcement about your investigation. This is an investigation into
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States. That laptop implicates Joe Biden.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: We have photographs that prove that he was with Hunter
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and his farm business associates. We know that he went
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: and attended meetings with farm business associates and Hunter. We
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: know Hunter bitches and moans and groans and complaints. He's
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: paying Dad or Pops all this money. So the question
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: here is is this the biggest influence pedaling scandal Congress
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: is investigating. Absolutely, There's nothing like it in the history
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: of America. We've never had a family that has influenced
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: pedal to this degree. And if you look at the
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: whole purpose of what we're talking about today, it's because
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: this investigation of the Biden family influence pedaling. The evidence
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: is based a lot in part with what the documents
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: are and the data is on the laptop. So Sean,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I'm breaking on your show tonight based on the internal
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: documents that Elon Musk released this weekend. The Oversight Committee
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: will be sending a letter tomorrow morning to the three
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Twitter employees, Missus, Gaddy, Roth and Baker that we're implicated
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: in the cover up of the laptop story. Three letters
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: requesting their presence in front of the Oversight Committee in January.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: But wasn't the FBI putting pressure on big tech companies?
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Oh You're going to try, Glad, sir, right, And what
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: we're going to ask them is who was influencing your
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: decision banking. Did you do this unilaterally or did you
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: do this based on what you were told from the
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Biden campaign, from the Democrat National Committee, or even worse,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: and as I suspect, from the FBI. This is going
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: to be an opportunity for the American people to hear
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: directly from the three Twitter employees implicated in the data
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: release that Elon must just dumped this weekend. So they're
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: going to have a few weeks to get their story start,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be able to come under oath
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: American people what really happened. And why why were they
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: so intent on suppressing this story. Jim Colemo will give you,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: by the way, we know why they were so intent
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: on suppressing this story because they knew how damning it
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: was to everyone involved. That's why they did it. See,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the only reason why they did it was so d
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: it was it was it was a story that you
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: could not overcome. It was a story that was going
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: to ruin you. It was a story that you had
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to silence and suppressed because if you didn't, the other
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: guy was gonna win. I got to go back and
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: remind you of one thing. They impeached and the intelligence
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: community allowed for the impeachment of a president of the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: United States of America, Donald Trump, based on data and
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: based on information the entire time that they knew was
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: a lie. They knew when he was being impeached, when
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: they were trying to overthrow the will of the people,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: they knew that the entire thing was crap. They had
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: already classified it is user generated information. They knew that
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: it came from the Hillary Clinton campaign and from the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee. They allowed the information to be used
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: to try to overthrow the will of more than fifty
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: percent of the American population, and they watched it in
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: the intelligence community after they had already classified it and
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: knew who brought it up, who brought it in, and
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: who had all this data there. They knew it the
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: entire time, folks, and they loved every minute of it.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Why would anyone be shocked that they were trying to
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: destroy each and every conservative who had a significant audience
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: on social media platforms. And I have no doubt that
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what was going on. I have no
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: doubt at Facebook probably right now as we speak, and
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Google as we speak, and YouTube as we speak. I
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: have no doubt that this is happening anywhere they can silence.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example. The Republican National Committee
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: came out several months ago. We exposed it on the
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: show and on my podcast that about ninety percent of
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: fundraising emails were going to spam at Gmail accounts. The
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: majority of Americans have Gmail accounts, and ninety percent of
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Democratic fundraising emails actually went into the main mailboxes. And
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: we're seen by recipients how much money and how many
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: get out the vote efforts disappeared. How much money did
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: the Democrats raise because their emails were being seen, and
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: the Republican emails were not They were going to spam.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: These are all of the things that were actually happening.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: How bad was it. It's so bad that the GOP
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: announced in late October that they are suing Google, claiming
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: their campaign emails are being sent on purpose to spam.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit going after Google
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: for allegedly sending its campaign emails to people's spam folders.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: The RMC file day lawsuit in federal court in California
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: on Friday. This is coming from CBS News by the way,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: that Google is unlawfully discriminating against the Republican National Committee
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the RNC by throttling its email messages because of the
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: rnc's political affiliation and views. Google has regulated millions and
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: millions of RNC emails in mass to potential donors and
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: supporters spam folders during pivotal points in election fundraising and
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: community building. The timing of Google's most egregious filtering is
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: particularly damning, the RNC said in the lawsuit. CNN reported
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: back in August, at federal election regulators voted to allow
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Google to proceed with a plan to make it easier
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: for campaign emails to bypass spam filters. Google's pilot program
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: changes the filters for political emails, allowing them to bypass
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the company's algorithm for sorting emails into spam. Instead, political
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: emails will land and spam folders only if users take
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: action to mark them as spam. This is how they're
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: trying to cover their ada blass. The fact was the
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: damage had already been done. The proposal to run a
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: quote pilot project came after intense Republican criticism that spam
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: filters were biased against conservative a charge, of course the
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: check the tech giant denied the same way that Twitter said,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: we don't shadow band people. The CEO, Jack Dorsey has
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: said that over and over again. We know he did.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: We know it from all their internal documents now and
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: a sign of public discuss with spam. The Federal Election
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Commission received thousands of public comments urging it to deny
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: the request, but a majority of the six member commission
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: decided that Google's project did not constitute an improper in
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: kind political contribution that would violate federal campaign finance laws.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: The RNC says the discrimination has been ongoing for about
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: ten months. Despite the rnc's best efforts to work with Google.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: In fact, throughout the twenty twenty two cycle, the RNC
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: has engaged with Google month after month to obtain an
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: explanation and a solution, the RNC said in a lawsuit.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: But every explanation has been refuted and every solution has failed.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Google continues to suppress the rnc's emails, and now Google
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: has fallen silent, refusing to discuss the issue further. The
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: only reasonable inference is that Google is intentionally sending critical
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: RNC emails to the spam folder, because it's the RNC
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: sending them. They're all doing it, folks. It's not just Twitter,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: it's Facebook, it's YouTube, it's Google. They're all doing it.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: And as long as they control Big Tech, I think
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: they assume they continue they can continue to do it
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. It's not just prominent names, by the way,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: being censored by Twitter. There's others apparently that are being
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: suppressed as well. Now, before I get into more of
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: this story, I want to say thank you and tell
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: you about our good friends at Legacy Precious Metals. Without them,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: the show wouldn't be possible. And if you have not
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: looked at gold and silver as a way to protect
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: your hard earned dollars against what the happening on Wall
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Street with inflation. It's time for you to call them
• 1:01:32

• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: around the world are now using gold and silver, and
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: historically they have for decades as a protection, a hedge
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: against inflation, which is exactly what we're dealing with right now.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: If you're terrified to look at your retirement account, your
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: four one case statement because of what's happening on Wall Street,

• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: six seven five one twenty two eighteen or online a
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Legacy PM investments dot Com. The media reporter Joe Concha
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: at Fox News had this to say about the silencing
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: of people that had important emails that went viral, Area
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: important tweets that went viral. Take a listen. Conservative speak
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: speeches and conservative free speech is something that should be
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: something that the free press should embrace right, and instead
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: they seem to be advocating the fact that people are
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: being blacklisted at this point, and not just here point,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: not just Dan Bongino, who is a prominent podcaster and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: host on this network, or the lives of TikTok who
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: are also blacklisted and their speech suppressed. It's all the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: other people out there that would say, hey, I feel
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: like my tweets aren't getting the traction that they used to.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Why is that? Why am I being suppressed? So yes,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: it's not just the prominent names. It's all the other
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: people that may have a perspective on the way this
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: country should be run or policies that they advocate. And
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: that's the big problem here. And the thing is, it's
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: not just social media, Fammi. It is traditional media that
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: is working in lockstep with social media as far as
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: suppressing this story now right, ABCNBCCBS, CNN, NBC, The New
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: York Times, the Washington Post. I went on their web
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: pages before we came on here, and I have seen
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: nothing in terms of these document dumps, in terms of
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: this fresh information, the receipts that we are seeing that
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: this sort of censorship happened in the United States of
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: America on Twitter. It's most problem in social media platform,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: right and and there's no reporting on it whatsoever, no
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: reporting on it whatsoever. Why because they all liked it,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: they were all in on it, and they were all
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: in favor of it. That's why the only group in
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: America that was systematically discriminated against by power structures in
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: this country over the last two election cycles are number
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: one conservatives. Journalists who decided to speak up, honest doctors
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: for example, that tried to speak up, those that tried
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: to actually say something important, talk about this. They were
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: the ones. Look at the doctors that were silence. We
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: now know and we're hearing that these Twitter drops five
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: and six of these Twitter files are going to be
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: even more damning, are going to be even more eye opening,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: are going to be even more brutal, because what we're
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: being told now is that doctors who actually spoke up,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: experts that spoke up about these shutting down of businesses
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: and shutting down of schools and had warnings or just
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: asked basic questions, what we're being told now is they
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: were silenced and shut down their reach or their accounts
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: were shut down. When it came to social media in
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, where we conspiracy theorists know
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: when you go from and I'll go back to my account.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Had half a million active, engaged followers on Twitter Grand debates,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of my
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: followers disappeared. Then all of a sudden, when I tweeted out,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: no one would see them. I would go from tweets
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: that would have thousands of retweets and thousands of responses
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: to one retweet three likes the big tree falls in
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: the forest and no one's there. Did it actually happen?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: That is the question. And what social media and big
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: tech said was all you got to do. If you're
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party or in the FBI, if you're
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: in the deep state and you've got something you see
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: on Twitter you don't like, or someone that's growing an
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: audience by telling the truth. If doctor Fauci saw someone
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: who said something asking him a question or said an opinion,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: who is an expert in infectious diseases and he didn't
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: like it, they would reach out to big tech and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: just shut it down. They would just straight up silence it, folks.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: They would say, this is it, goodbye, see you later.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: That's the reality of the situation. That's what actually happened.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: There's no conspiracy theory here. This is America under the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Democrats and their regime and the big tech regime. This
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: is what was happening with those in the media. And
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: notice now how they're not touching the story. Google's doing
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: it with your emails, Twitter and Facebook, we're doing it
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: as well. YouTube is doing it with people that put
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: up conservative content. We're supposed to be the freest country
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: in the world. We're supposed to be the greatest country
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: in the world. We're supposed to be a beacon of
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: what freedom of speech looks like and feels like. That's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: what we're supposed to be. And in reality, Donald Trump
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: and every single thing that he said about his being silenced,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: about him being censored, about the system being rigged, he
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: was right on all of it. About being spied on,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: about the swamp, about the deep state, he was right
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: on all of it. Never forget Kaylee McKinney's personal account
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: was shut down on Twitter. Why we know this now
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: because Democrats said so, Donald Trump loses Twitter account? Why because,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: as Michelle Obama says, do it. That's why. That's why
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: all of this happened, every single bit of it was
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: because of what I just said. We're going to cover
