Twitter File Recap 2: Twitter and the Deep State Parts 3 and 4 · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: As we continue our deep dive into the Twitter files,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: we are starting to see some true American patriots that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: are coming out of the woodworks. One of them, as
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you know, is Elon Musk for exposing the company. And
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: if you miss, by the way, part one or part
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: two of our deep dive into the Twitter files, makes
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: sure you go back and download our podcasts and listen
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to part one in part two. Now, as we expose
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: part three today, we are now seeing some basic issues
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that are showing up about what it means to be
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: an American, what it means to have freedom of speech.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: One democratic lawmakers now said that Twitter censorship went not
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: only too far, but it quote is simply not what
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we do in this country. Representative rocanam is now calling
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: out Twitter and other social media companies after On Mosk
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: is revealing the conservative blacklist that would basically take away
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your ability to reach, respond, defend, or expose anything the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: left didn't want you to do. We also now know
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that they were silencing and they were censoring different people.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: They were doing it even if they did not in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fact violate the terms of service with Twitter. I want
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you to hear what was said by Rocanna as he
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was interviewed on Fox News as the first real Democrat
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to come forward, saying this isn't a Republican or Democrat issue.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: In fact, what this is is about freedom of speech
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and the United States of America. O'conna was one of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the only Democrats to immediately sound the alarm about suppressing
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story. The California congressman joins us, now,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just a little bit from what you said to them,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that you wrote to them on October fourteenth, twenty twenty,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this seems a violation of the First Amendment principles to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: strict the distribution of that material, especially regarding a presidential candidate,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: seems not in keeping of the principles of NYT versus Sullivan.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I say this as a total Biden partisan. The story
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: has now become more about censorship than relatively innocuous emails,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and has become a bigger deal than it would have been.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So you're a principal person. You understand the Constitution. You
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: tried to warn them. I think they ignored you, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: now you have the revelation that actually, yes, it was happening.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Congressman Dana it's problematic. Look, technically, they're private actors, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they're effectively a modern public square and they should not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: be engaged in censorship. Now. It's one thing for them
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to say, don't put up sensational pictures of Hunter Biden,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and I understand that, but to censor the New York Post. Look,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the New York Post hasn't written a positive article about me,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think in my six years in Congress. But I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: would never dream of saying shut them down or don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: allow them to publish articles. I mean, that's the whole
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: essence of democracy, and we need to stand for the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: First Amendment. As there are some that are out there
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: saying that. Well, before they would say that anybody who
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: thought conservatives were being in shadow ban on Twitter, that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that was just being paranoid, And now they're saying, well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: but of course they de amplified the hard right, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that was the right thing to do. I don't know
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: if that's the best place to land if you're actually
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: concerned about democracy and freedom of speech. Do you think
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is doing a good thing by releasing this information?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I go. I do think we have to have transparency,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and there are two conflicting values that day not on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the one hand, We shouldn't be censoring people and shouldn't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: be then based on viewpoint. What concerns me with the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: second release of the Twitter files is it teams some
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: people are being censored or deamplified because of their beliefs.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Another thing is to have respect, and I don't think
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you want these sites to have anti semitism or racism.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But my understanding is it's going beyond that. It's not
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just that they're taking down speech that has hate, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk has anyone to take that down. It's that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they're sensoring based on viewpoint, and that's simply not what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we do in this country. I love that a democrat
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: like Rocana is coming out and saying this, It's simply
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: not what we do in this country. The whole essence
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of democracy, he says, is something that we need to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: stand up for, and that is the first Amendment. He said.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I would never dream of saying shut them down or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: don't allow them to publish articles referring to the press,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and we now know that is exactly what happened. We
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: also again have to go back to what happened. For example,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: with Dan Bongino. He wasn't silence for any other reason
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that he was reaching people, he was changing hearts and minds.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: He was an individual. They decided to banish from from
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Twitter without actually banishing him. They decided that what he
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: had to say was too important, too impactful, too powerful,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and they couldn't handle it. So when you went to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: search him, you just couldn't find him. When you went
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to search for his tweets, you just couldn't find him.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And that is exactly what has happened with the next
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: phase of these Twitter files that have been released. We
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: are now seeing that this was an all out war
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: on freedom of speech. It was an all out war
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on the ability for conservatives to say things they need
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to say. We also now know that many people who
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: were actually in the government have been vindicated. I'll give
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you a great example of that. Former Director of National
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Intelligence John Radcliffe has come out claiming vindication for the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Trump administration after the latest Twitter file revelation showed how
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Twitter's standards had eroded in the weeks leading up to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty presidential election. He said, what I said
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: as the National Director of National Intelligence in October of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty was proven true. The IC had zero intelligence
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I see intelligence community had zero intelligence supporting a false
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: narrative that the Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Nobody in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the intelligence community had authority to say otherwise. Now, this
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: brings us to the bigger story. Now, Ratcliffe, as the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: former top intelligence official. He was responding to the sub
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: stack journalist Matt Taibi's latest thread on the Twitter files,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: which confirmed that Twitter head of safety Yol Roth had
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: met not only with the FBI, but had met with
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security and had also met with
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and had
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: discussions about the Hunter Biden laptop story. Tabe and a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: handful of other independent reporters have been given exclusive access
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to all of these internal documents and all these internal
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: communications from Elon Musk at Twitter. They have shared now
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: how Twitter were to suppress the New York Post Hunter
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Biden reporting under disingenuous pretenses, suppressing the visibility of conservative users,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and not just that, but violated the company's own policies
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: while working in conjunction with federal agencies. Now, after the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: New York Post revealed that Hunter Biden's laptop contained evidence
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that he, his father, and his uncle had leveraged his
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: father's position as the vice president back then to make
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: dollars for the Biden crime family with foreign associates. Twitter
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: then decided to suppress the story and even limited the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: ability of users to share it and direct messages. They
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: use their technology that they typically would use to stop
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the spread of child pornography to stop conservatives from spreading
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a legitimate news story they knew could make it where
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump would win and Joe Biden would lose. Why
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: did they do it? They claimed that it violated rules
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: against posting hacked materials, even though they and the government
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: knew it was not hack material. The Twitter files have
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: also exposed that the company's purported reasons for censoring the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: story were bogus. But of course the national press at
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the time said, oh no, no, we're going to dismiss
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the story as unsubstantiated, so therefore we don't actually have
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to report on it. Why did they do that? Now
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this brings in a bigger part of the story, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take you back and remind you when
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story broke, you then had fifty
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: one former top intelligence officials. Within that fifty plus group,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you had five former CIA directors or acting directors. That's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in the intelligence community. Five former
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: CIA directors who signed a letter claiming that the reported
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: materials from Hunter Biden's laptop appeared to be quote, Russian disinformation.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: They put this out giving cover for the media to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: not touch the story, saying that this is Russian collusion,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Russian disinformation. You shouldn't write about it, you shouldn't talk
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: about it, should all just disappear. Well, we know that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: some of the people, for a fact, in that fifty
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: plus group of former intelligence officials, they actually knew the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: story was real. They knew it because they were in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the intelligence community when they got ahold of the laptop
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a year earlier, and they understood and still had security clearance,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and they had people that were feeding them information. They
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: knew this story was legitimate, so they lied to the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: American people. And that's when John Ratcliffe he forcefully spoke
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: out against the claim. In October of twenty twenty, he
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: said Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: disinformation campaign. He then went on to say, let me
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that because there
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: is no intelligence that supports that. Now, before I get
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: into more of that, I want to tell you about
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: our friends over at Patriot Mobile. Real quick. You may
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: see a lot of bait and switch offers for free phones,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: free iPhones. Well, they're usually too good to be true.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Just like freedom itself, nothing is free. Mobile phone companies
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: not only lock you into long term contracts, but they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: also build the price the phone into your bill with
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: hidden fees. With Patriot Mobile, they can show you how
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to get that same iPhone interest free without the games
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and no contract at Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is America's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider. They offer nationwide coverage on
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the best four G and five G networks because they
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: use the same towers as the major carrier that you're

  Speaker 1: probably on right now. So if you want to get
• 10:52

• 11:35
  Speaker 1: pause for just a moment on the Twitter files, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to some of the new revelations.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But let me just remind you why all of this matters.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden right now apparently is selling artwork for hundreds
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Biden's art
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: worth worth that much now. But we also know that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: people in the art business use it to funnel money,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to wash money, to clean money. It's a way to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: money launder to different people. That's what we know for
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a fact. And what we are now seeing is Hunter Biden,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: this is the new way that he can make cash.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He can't do as many deals as he was doing
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: before the way he was doing them because everybody's now
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: watching him. So how do you keep the family business going?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: How do you keep the coffers filled with cash. How
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do you capitalize on what's happening right now? You do
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: what you can to get every dime. If you're running
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a crime family business like Hunter Biden is, while your
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: dad's a president, and when you need people to give
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you money and they can't just write you a check
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: or put you on a board anymore, your option is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to figure out a way to clean that money and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to bring it in. And they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: figured it out. They figured it out by doing exactly
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: what many other shady businessmen do around the world. You
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: buy art, or in this case, you sell art, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you don't have to disclose who bought it or where
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the funds came from. Now, there have been some leaks
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that have come out that a lot of the art
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is being sold into China. Why, well, clearly China is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in business with a Biden crime family. We know this
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: from the loans, We know this from their emails, we
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: know this from their business structures, We know this from
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Tony Bobolenski, we know this from other whistleblowers, and we
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: know it from the cash and receipts that were all
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: left on his laptop. But how is he still doing
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: it when you know the end is in sight, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance that your dad may not run
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: for reelection, and you look at his age and you're
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: not a legitimate businessman, and he's clearly not a legitimate businessman.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: You do whatever the hell you have to do to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: survive in the shady world. Take a listen to this
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: about the and this is again happening right now in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: America in December of twenty twenty two. This is not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: years ago, this is right now. Darts in the art
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: gallery unveiling a new painting by Hunter Biden, and the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: asking price is two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: J mean Payla is a host of Fox across America.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's big money. And if you think
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the price is high, you should meet the painter. Hey, everybody, goodness,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: see you, come on now. But the reason this is
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: it does look bad like no administration has ever cared
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: less about optics than this one. Because I think the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: belief is they don't expect backlash from the press. But understand,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: prior to Joe Biden becoming the president, there was no
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: market for Hunter Biden. Okay, he wasn't a known commodity
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: in the art world. The only thing he was known for,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: forgive me, is painting the town. Okay, there was no
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: demand for this, so it looks a little ridiculous that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: they might be peddling a little influence here. And this
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: very much overlaps with the accusation in the Hunter Biden
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: laptop that these guys just traded on the name. At
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the very least, they seem to be doing that here
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: two for two and answer number one. That's like his
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: version of story storry nine. Ye. So apparently the guy
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: run the gallery says Hunter has been a painter for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a year. He's an oddest. Yeah, okay, he's always been
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: an odd esst. But there was a difference between painting
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: on your own and saying, Okay, that's all I'm going
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to do and I'm just going to be an odd Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that. Okay, they're not like taking a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: company public. Everybody wanted a piece of But the one
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: thing is it's only two hundred thousand for Hunter because
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: he's got to give ten percent of the sale to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the big He doesn't care. Hunter Biden doesn't care. Joe
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Biden doesn't care. The White House doesn't care. They know
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. This New York City gallery unveiling this
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: new two hundred and twenty five thousand dollar hundred Biden
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: painting and two buyers they claim now are interested. This
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: is about funneling money. Hunter Biden painting is selling for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the price of a house. This is a guy that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: had no experience in art, and the most expensive artwork
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of the first Son's new Soho show is price at
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: two twenty five. On Saturday, a gallery worker refused to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: give The New York Post details and potential buyer of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the unentitled fifty seven by ninety eight inch mustard yellow
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: yellow floral painting on Japanese paper called Upo. President Biden's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: scandaled Scarred son sold two other works a day after
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: his second solo art show opened at the Georgie's Burgess
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Gallery on Friday. Unlike last year's debut of Biden's artwork,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: which was by invitation only, the News show is open
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to the public and features much stronger work. They claim,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to see his art, the gallery owner
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: told The Post. The first show was successful. We achieved
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: what we wanted from the exhibition. This exhibition shows a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: stronger confidence. Burgess has refused to elaborate on which paintings
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: sold and who the buyers were. Paintings and last year's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: show range from seventy five thousand for works on paper
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to five hundred thousand for large canvases. What do the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: paintings look like? They look like a nine year old painting?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, policy of not publicly naming
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: purchasers and what they paid was highly controversial, with some
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: critics saying it could lead to quote anonymous influence peddling,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: influence buying of the Bidens. Well, let's not say it
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: could lead anyone buying these paintings. That's exactly what they
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: are doing. Burgess told the Post that he has several
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: paintings in the galleries basement that Biden finished more than
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Proof He said that he has worked
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: most of his life to be an artist. Okay, sure,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I believe you. He's always been an artist. Burgess said.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: The difference is where we are being misconstrued that when
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: he focused his whole life on art, they took it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to being he just started doing art. But there is
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a difference between painting on your own and saying Okay,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that's all I'm going to do, and I'm just going
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to be an artist. And now he says, these pieces
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: of art are incredible. Hunter, his wife Melissa, and their
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: toddler son Bow, attended the opening on Thursday and exclusive
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: friends and family viewing, as they called it, Thursday Soft
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: opening featured Biden's newest abstract works, which depict flowers and birds.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Many of the paintings are done on sheet metal, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the paintings would be more than well above average and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: popularity specifically in China, As one art critics said, China
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: loves these types of paintings. They love flowers, they love birds,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and they love the bright colors. I painted and washed.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I painted and washed it off, Biden told a group
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of spectators Thursday night, in describing how he created the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: layers and splotches on a work in the series devoted
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to Japanese poetry. Yeah, Japanese Poetry. Burgess said that the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: paintings were a form of self reflection for Biden, who
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: has been amassed in an ongoing investigation into his financial
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: dealings with Ukrainian specifically China. Burgess said that he is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: already fielding a great deal of interest from Biden collectors,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: saying quote, I think in many ways this show has
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: started off on a better foot than the last one.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Just the interest. He has a collector base of people
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: who really like his work. Well, is it an America?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like it. The entire collection was about selling
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it to China. The White House has said the measures
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: have been put in place. Major measures have been put
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in place to prevent any ethical concerns over quote potential
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: buyers who might want to buy the work to curry
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: favor with President Biden. Yes, because these safeguards have worked
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: so well in the past. Now, the gallery says they
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: believe that he will be able to make seven figures
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: in about a week off of these paintings. Now, as
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: this news broke, some of Hunter Biden's allies are now
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: up making plans to go after accusers. We now know
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that array of groups are preparing to defend the present
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Sons against the gop Onslought when they take back control
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of the house. Hunter Biden's friend and lawyer Kevin Morris,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: was blunt and laying out his thoughts at a strategy
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: session last September on an expected Onslought of investigation investigations
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: by House Republicans. It was crucial, Morris suggested for Hunter
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Biden camp to be more aggressive. Morris, at a meeting
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in his California home, described defamation lawsuits the team could
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: pursue against the presidential son's critics, including Fox News, Eric Trump,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and Rudy Giuliani. He outlined extensive research on two potential
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: witnesses against Hunter Biden, a spurned business partner named Tony
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Bobo Lensky and a computer repairman named John Paul Mackiaac.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: At one point, Hunter Biden himself happened to call into
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the meeting, connecting briefly by video to add his own
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: thought quote, they feel that there is a whole counter
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: narrative missing because of the whole Hunter hater narrative out there.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: A liberal activist, David Brock, who attended the meeting said,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: what were we really got into was more the meat
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of it, the meat of what a response would look like.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Brock was planning for a new group quote Facts First
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: USA focus on fighting the looming House GOP investigations. I
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: love it Facts First USA, all right, quickly. I also

  Speaker 1: The meeting that they all these Democrats had was a
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: meeting that they wanted to have so they could put
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: it out to the public and say, hey, this is
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a glimpse to the infrastructure that we're gonna come after
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Republicans with. In essence, we're gonna blackmail you, We're going
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to expose you, We're gonna make sure that you hurt
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: if you come after Hunter Biden, James Biden or Joe Biden.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: If you think you can get away with this, you're
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: just wrong. We're not gonna let you get away with this.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: There were Democrats that actually went on TV this weekend
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: talking about how they're going to come after and hurt people.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: One Democratic slime merchant, David Brock, vowed to this dirt
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: on Republicans if they probe Hunter Biden, a threat that
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: he made on MSNBC. Take a listen, and we start
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: with the latest around Hunter Biden. According to new reporting
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: in The Washington Post, a coalition of Hunter's allies won't
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: sit quietly as Republicans prepared to make him a national
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: figure in their investigations when they take over the House
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: in just a few weeks. For years, that has claimed
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the president's son has traded on his name in shady
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: business deals and that President Biden is culpable for his
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: son's alleged misconduct. The Bidens have denied any wrongdoing. Joining
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: me now is one of those allies. David Brock, President
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of Facts First USA. David, thank you very much for
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: coming to the Sunday Show. Thanks for having me on. Okay,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: So why go on offense? Why not keep a low profile? Well, look,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I have been in right wing media. I've studied right
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: wing media for twenty years. Assouries August, I knew what
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: was coming. We can't wish this a way. We know
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: what they're going to do. They've announced what they're going
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to do. The first press conference they had out of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the box was about Hunter Biden. So Democrats are not
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: putting Hunter Biden front and center. Republicans are. And we
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: also know that this has been asked and answered in
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. It's been investigated at nauseum. It's been looked
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at by a Senate committee by Rupert Murdock's Will Street Journal.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: They found nothing. So I met with Hunter Biden and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: as lawyers back in September as part of the due
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: diligence for this project, and I came out of that
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Johnathan very confident that we are going to be able
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to show over time that this is nothing but a
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: bunch of recycled conspiracy theories, and they're going to hurt themselves,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I think by investigating this, because at the end of
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the day, part of the story is is kind of
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a sick politics of demonizing addiction and mental health issues
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and that are in many, many families. We know that
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: by the way you can hear this is what they're
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: going to stick with. You can hear it in the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: way that they described this. I told you from the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: very beginning, this is what they were going to do.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: They were going to say, Wow, this is just a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: guy who had an addiction problem. He was an addict.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: He's overcome so much, he didn't really know what he
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: was doing, and everything was totally fine, And how dare
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you how dare you pick on somebody that lost his brother,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that had mental health issues and was a drug addict.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You can't hold him accountable for what he was doing.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: This is a great guy that has overcome so much.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: That's They're going to be their defense the entire time.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: But what you're also hearing from this sly merchant. David
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Brock is the warning we've got dirt or he's threatening
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that he has dirt on Republicans, and if you guys
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: move forward and try to pull this off, it's going
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to be game over for you. Guys. We will come
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: after you and ruin your lives. Personally, the laptop shows
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that President Biden was an empathetic father trying to help
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: his son. We don't need a congressional investigation for that, Jonathan,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: but we are unfortunately going to have one, and we're
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: going to have one because Kevin McCarthy can't get to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteen votes and so he's making this
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: corrupt bargain all these deals on the side with Marjorie
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Taylor Green and Gosar to have more aggressive investigations to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: change rules. Everything they want. They're getting the Magga extremists,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and we need to educate the public about what's behind us.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's why I need you to tell me more about
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: this meeting you said you had in September sure what
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: you described as a due diligence meeting with Hunter Biden mother.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: You have to understand how much propaganda this is right MSNBC.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He says, We're going to give you as much time
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: as you need to come on and talk about how
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and reframe what this attack on Hunter Biden's going to be.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And he said, sure, We've started a political basically war
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: room facts. First, We're going to tell people this is
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: propaganda from the right, none of this is real, none
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: of this actually matters. So remember this as the Republicans
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: take control of the House and when they start investigating.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Which brings me back to the Twitter files. Tugger Carlson
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: had a very interesting take on the Twitter files and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the drop of some of the new information, specifically Part two,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what he had to say.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Barry Weiss of Substack began posting Part two of the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Twitter files. Now. These are assessments of internal documents from
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Twitter that been hidden under previous management but are now
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: being exposed by Elon Musk, who just bought the company.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So first, Musk last week gave a troph of documents
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: to at tebe of subject and out of Barry Weis.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Weiss is unpacking all of this right now live on
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Twitter and a Twitter thread. What she has revealed so
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: far confirms what many suspected but none knew for certain,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: which is that Twitter routinely censored prominent critics of the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Biden administration, did so in secret, without telling anyone, and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: with no factual justification whatsoever. This is known as shadow banning.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Twitter did it all the time. Now publicly they denied
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: doing it. People who were being shadow bands suspected something
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: was up, but they didn't know. Now. Officially, Twitter's chief
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: legal Officer chief censor at Twitter, Vajagatte, a woman who
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: is rewarded by the Biden administration for her work on
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: their behalf, said that quote, we do not shadow ban,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and we certainly don't shadow ban based on political viewpoints
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: or ideologies. That's what she said. That was a lie,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And the documents that Barry Weiss is posting right now,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: including screenshots of Twitter's internal censorship tools, proved that it
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: was a lie. One of Twitter's targets for shadow banning
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: was a Stanford professor, a physician, PhD. Called Jay Bodachara
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: one of the most impressive people in American medicine, someone
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: we've had on this show many, many times. There was
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: no justification for censoring Jay Badachara, except he was one
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: of the authors the Great Barrington Declaration, which very early
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: in the so called pandemic, infuriated our country's public health establishment,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: including Tony Fauci, by opposing COVID lockdowns. Jay Badachara has
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: spent his career studying the health effects of various policies
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: on vulnerable populations. So he knew that COVID lockdowns would
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: harm children, and he said so that has turned out
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to be true. But Twitter, doubtless, at the request of
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the authorities, shadow band professor Badachar Stanford for saying this
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: out loud. They prevented his tweets from trending, and that
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: meant that most users could not see his tweets though
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: they were factual. Twitter also shadow band foxes Dan Bongino.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: According to Weiss, Twitter at one point slapped Gino with
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a search band that made it impossible for users of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Twitter to find tweets by Dan Bongino because they were inaccurate. No,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: because they were accurate. That was the crime. That's always
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the crime. They never punish you for lying, They only
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: punish you for telling the truth. Twitter also flagged Charlie
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Kirk's account with a do not amplify tag. Weiss reports
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the quote. The group that decided whether to limit the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team Global
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Escalation Team or srt GET. The team often handled up
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to two hundred separate cases a day. Another group within Twitter,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: called Site Integrity Policy Policy Escalation Support, noticed the bureaucratic
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: handles here. It's like the military. That group also hadn't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: handled shadow banding, and that group included god A as
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: well as Twitter executives Uel Roth and Prague Aggerwall, who
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: ran the company. None of this has been previously known.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It was never disclosed to the public. Voice to Threat
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: is ongoing, it's being updated as we speak, and of
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: course we'll bring you more information as we get it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: You hear and you put all this in perspective, and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna end up seeing next these Twitter files
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: and we're going to have this for you tomorrow, is
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: what they did to silence and censor people when it
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: came down to the issue of COVID when important people
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: said important things online that went against the regime. What happened.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Fauci and others just send emails and said, shut down
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: this person, silence this person, shadow band this person, and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: make sure that all of this really just goes away.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: If you had a question that you asked, just a
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: basic question, they would do the same exact thing. They
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: would silence you, they would censor you, They would say
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: you can't ask that question. You can't ask or talk
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: about that. This is Twitter, each and every day. Lastly,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: what we know now for a fact is that this
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: was all being done by government officials, Okay, government officials
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: who absolutely loved getting emails from the deep state, from
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the FBI, the dj the CIA, whoever wanted to send
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: them an email telling them whatever it was that they
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: wanted them to do, from the White House, from presidential campaigns,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: from candidates, the list goes on and on. They loved
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: all of that. And now we know that every single
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: thing that conservatives and Republicans said was happening to them,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: happening to them in real time, was actually happening to
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: them in real time. Dan Bongina, you couldn't find him
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: when he said it. What did people say, Oh, he's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a kook, he's a conspiracy theorist, he's a nut job,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: he's crazy. Right, just a Twitter account, shut up, sit down,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and be silent. We know that he was right. Not
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: only was he right, But every other Republican out there
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that thought that their account was being screwed with was
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: also right. And it's not just Twitter. I'm gonna say
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: it now, It's not just Twitter. It's gonna end up
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: being Google. It's gonna end up being YouTube, and it's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: gonna end up being Instagram, and it's gonna end up
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: being Facebook, and it's gonna end up being TikTok. You
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: watch it will come out and hopefully they'll be brave
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: men and women who are willing to expose those agencies.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Twitter is literally auction off virtually everything that made Twitter ridiculous.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Now what am I talking about? I'm talking about Elon
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: musk Is is changing the culture and doing it quickly.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: He is saying sea to their expressome machines, their lounge chairs,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: other employeed toys are all for sale now, showing just
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: how ridiculous and how much of a country club the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Twitter offices were. Now members of the public are gonna
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to rob the graveyard of old Twitter,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: as dismissed employees, once beloved espresso machines and their comfy
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: lounge chairs are put up for auction. The social media
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: company is going to sell off all of their kitchen
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: equipment and furniture from at San Francisco office next month
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to interested buyers through Heritage Global Partners. They're a company
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that conducts auctions for downsizing business. Now, roughly two thirds
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: of Twitter employees have departed the company under Elon Musk's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: new high Expectations for Remaining workers mandates. Right, they actually
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: want you to work and now he's sang seem now.
• 34:46

  Speaker 1: amenities five star hotel like workplace towards an actual commitment
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to improving the platform and you know, actually having to work.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: As for the internal restaurants that are at Twitter, yeah,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: they're getting rid of those as well. They're not going
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to have it be a five star country club. They're
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: sick and tired of it. And this is part of
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: why they say the well culture has been a total
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: disaster at Twitter. Most the employees actually talked about working
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: about four hours a day, some saying they only worked
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: four hours a week. Now let me hit pause on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that perspective on a liberal environment and go to other
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: big story that is also broken. But before I get
• 36:27

• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the Democrat megadonor Sam Bakman free has been arrested in
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the Bahamas. Now, initially you would think that's a good thing.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Here's where the fix is in. He was arrested after
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: being a freeman for basically more than thirty days in
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the Bahamas, just hours before he was going to face
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: questions from Congress. Why did this happen this way? I'll
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: tell exactly why. Democrats were terrified of what he may say,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and virtually all of his interviews he's been spilling the
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: beans because I think it's like, Hey, my house is
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: on fire. I'm going to take everybody else down with me.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: The Democratic mega donor, the number two donor in the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party, SBF was arrested just hours before that, before
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: that question in Congress, and he was arrested in the Bahamas.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Why because Democrats apparently did not want him to have
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Bateman freed arrested after US authorities filed criminal charges against
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: him and many an hour believing this is one hundred
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: percent to do with politics. Quote. Earlier this evening, the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bateman freed at the request of
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the US government. Yeah, I understand line out based on
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a sealed indictment filed by New York's District attorney. United
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: States Attorney Damian Williams said, we expect to move to
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: unseal the indictment in the morning, and we'll have more
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to say at that time. But if you go to
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: their Twitter page, the US Attorney for the Southern District
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: of New York, said USA Damian Williams. Earlier this evening,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bateman freed at the request the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: US government based on that sealed indictment. Well, there you go.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Some politicians are not happy about this, quickly pointing out
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: that Bankman Freed's arrest came just hours before his highly
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: anticipated testimony to Congress, where many Republicans were going to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: ask him tough questions about his donations to the Democratic Party.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Leezelden said this tomorrow, Sam Bateman Freed was scheduled to
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: testify in from the House Financial Services Committee. House GOP
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: was ready to grill him six ways to Sunday. Former
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: New York Republican Gubmatory kenned at Leezeldon also said, now,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: breaking tonight, Sam Bankman Freed was just arrested. Why not
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: allow him to first testify tomorrow and answer our many questions.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: This is how the deep state and the Democratic Party works.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: And I bring this up because now let's go into
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the Twitter files. This is no different than the playbook
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: that we've now learned from the Democratic Party and from
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: what has come out from the Twitter files. When Democrats
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: don't want something to see the light of day, what
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: do they do? They covered up, silence it, and make
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: sure it never sees the light of day. Sam Bankman
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Free was a number two donor the Democratic Party behind
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: George Soros. He scheduled up here before the House Financial
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Services Committee, and they say this is a problem. What
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: do we do. Let's in die them and get him arrested. Now,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the disgrace financier previously dodge Chairwoman Maxine Water's request for
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: him to test five for the committee. That's what they're
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: trying to claim. Bankman Freed was a very close friend
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: and donor to Maxie Waters. Just so you know, Bateman
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Freed told Waters and the committee last way that he
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: is not sure if he would be finished learning and
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: reviewing what happened with FTX before the committee wanted him
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: to testify quote on December the thirteenth. However, on Monday,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: during a Twitter space interview just hours before his arrest,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Banateman Freed confirmed that he would repair remotely before the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: House Financial Services Committee rhythm an in person appearance because
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: he is quite overbooked. And that's when Democrats said, crap,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: we got to indict him now and get him so
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: he won't be able to tell a story. I don't
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: think I will be arrested, Bateman Freed reportedly said during
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: that Twitter Space interview. He added that he is open
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and willing to possibly appear before the Senate Banking Committee.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: On Wednesday, Senators SHIROD. Brown, Democrat, Ohio, and Pat Toomey,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Republican Pennsylvania, the chairman and the ranking member of the
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Senate Banking Committee, criticized Bankman Freed over his reluctance to
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: confirm an appearance before their committee. Brown and Toomey said
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: in a joint statement, quote, virtually every CEO, financial regulator
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and administration official for Republicans and Democrats has agreed to
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: testify in front of both the Senate and the House
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: when called upon the South Congressional Oversight Works. We have
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: offered Sam Bateman Freed two different dates for providing testimony
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: before the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, and
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: are willing to accommodate virtual testimony. He has declined in
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: an unprecedented abdication of accountability. Given that Bankman Freed's counsel
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: has said they were unwilling to accept service of the subpoena,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: we will continue to work to have him appear before
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the committee. He owes the American people and explanation. Now,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: this is where I believe that Sam Bankman Freed actually
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: screwed up. If he was smart, he would have turned
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: on all of the Democrats that he was giving to,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: telling them that the reason why he was able to
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: get away with what he got away was because they
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: didn't regulate him because he was giving them so much money.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: That's the truth of the matter. Let's not act like
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: it's not. Now, before I get into more of that,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends over at
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile real quick. You may see a lot of
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: bait and switch offers for free phones, free iPhones. Well,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: they're usually too good to be true. Just like freedom itself,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: nothing is free. Mobile phone companies not only lock you
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: into long term contracts, but they also build the price
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: the phone into your bill with hidden fees. With Patriot Mobile,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: they can show you how to get that same iPhone
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: interest free without the games and no contract at Patriot Mobile.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: offer nationwide coverage on the best four G and five
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: G networks because they use the same towers as the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: major carrier that you're probably on right now. So if
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: you want to get great service and you want to
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: know you're working with a company that supports conservative causes
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: that every month when you pay your bill, they actually

  Speaker 1: take a portion of your bill and they give it
• 44:06

• 44:39
  Speaker 1: are terrified that bankman Freed may may flip on them
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: and really may expose exactly how he was able to
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: get away with what he got away with if his
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: advisors and I it's clear that bankman Freed is a
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: crazy guy, but if his advisors were really truly smart,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: what they would end up doing, what they would end
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: up saying is very obvious. We got away with running
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: a Ponzi scheme because the Democratic Party allowed us to
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: get away with it. We got away with doing whatever
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the hell we want to do because Democrats allowed us
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: to get away with it. We were able to do
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: exactly what it was that we wanted. We were able
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: to accomplish exactly what we wanted to accomplish, which was
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: take money from an insane number of individuals. Right again,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: let's just speak clear. That's exactly what we did. That's
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: exactly what they did because no one held us accountable.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: We were unregulated because I bribed people. I truly believe
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: that is what he would say in response to all
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: of this if he was telling the truth, because that's
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: clearly what we have seen based on what they have done. Now,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: this is no different than what Twitter was doing with
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the US government. You guys can silence and censor and
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: get away with taking away the rights of Americans as
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: long as you play with the Democratic Party and you
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: donate to the Democratic Party. Why why do you think
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Section two thirty has not been overturned? The protection for
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and all the others in
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: YouTube and Google. Why do you think it's not been overturned.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I'll take exactly why. It's because as long as you
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: give money the Democrats, and that's what has happened. Democrats
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: keep getting donations from Mark Zuckerberg or Sam Bankman, Freed
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: or Dorsey and the other employees. You can run any
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: way you want to. You can run it however you
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: want to. It doesn't matter. Now. The FTX new CEO
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: has spoken before Congress moments ago. He was asked about
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: this laps and this is the FTX new CEO that's
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: been put in place to talk about just how bad
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: things actually are. And I want you to hear what
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: he had to say moments ago in front of this committee.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: That well, Sam Bateman Free was supposed to be actually
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: testifying before, but miraculously we arrested him right beforehand, so
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't hurt the Democrats. Take a listen that the
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: X it's just a sideline comment. One of the questions
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I've got is with regards to the Farmington State Bank.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: This is an investment that Alameda made into and it's
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit bank. According to a New York Times article,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: State of Washington twenty six smallest bank out of forty
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: eight hundred in the country. They bought it in twenty
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: twenty net worth of five point seven million, and they
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: dropped eleven and a half million in for a percentage
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: of the ownership do you know off the top of
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: your head what the percentage ownership wasn't at banks they purchased.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I believe that ownership was approximately ten percent, but I
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: can think, okay, that's what I've heard too. So hopefully
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: they paid twenty times book, which is off the church outrageous,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: so it should be a red flag over the places.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Yet they were able to purchase that even though some
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: minority interest of twenty times a book. FDIC allowed that
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: to happen. They changed names to Moonstone Bank and since
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: then they've four separate accounts that dropped to roughly seventy
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: one million. Again, corny FDIC, Dad, And according to this article,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: have you looked at this relationship and all yet to
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: see what's what's going on here and whether there was
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: any real regulatories all. We are looking at it. It
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: certainly is one of the things that came to our
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: attention fairly quickly. We're looking at what the dollars were
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: that went from the FTX group to that bank, and
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: we're looking at the connections of that bank to the Mohamas.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, everybody, and the reason why I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: play that. I'm going to explain it to you FTX
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: was able to take over basically a bank, and the
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: US government allowed them to take over this bank, even
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: though the deal was a terrible deal that should not
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: have been allowed to happen for as little as they
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: put into the bank, and it was running part of
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: their Ponzi scheme. They needed a bank to help them
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: with the Ponzi scheme. That's what John Ray, the new
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: FTX CEO, who was trying to untangle all of this,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: has just told you every single safeguard in the United
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: States government that was supposed to protect millions of Americans
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: who lost billions of dollars didn't work. How is that
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: even possible. There's only one explanation for this, and that
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: one explanation is he was giving millions and millions and
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars to the Democratic Party. So
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: when you're bribing people, and that's what this is, it
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: is bribery, you can get away with anything you want.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Now you look at this recent release of the trove
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of emails that were sent by Twitter employees related to
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biding laptop scandal. These two scandals are no
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: different print. They basically have the same exact playbook. Right
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: this release of these tropes of emails by Twitter employees
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: related to Hunter biden laptop scandal have fueled the reality
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: that you have direct conspiratorial ties between the social media
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: platform and the government in the run up to the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential election. That is no different than what
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: we are now seeing with XTF. You had direct conspiratorial
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: ties between Sam Bankman Freed, the Democratic Party, and the
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: regulators of the United States government. You go back and
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: look at what Elon must Tease several days ahead of
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: their release on Friday, December the second right these Twitter files.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: They showed that Twitter engaged with politicians over the content
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: on its platform, as well as the social media network's
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: efforts to suppress a story of Hunter Biden for one reason,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: they needed to tip the scales before the election, and
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: they knew if they legitimized a story that they knew
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: was legitimate, the government knew it was legitimate, The Deep
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: State knew it was legitimate. Twitter knew it was legitimate.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Facebook knew that it was legitimate. They knew that they
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: didn't tip the scales, Joe Biden wouldn't be the president.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: The messages point to a clear platform leadership connection to
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: the leadership of the Democratic Party, and the leadership at
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Twitter opted early on to suppress the story and its
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: recommendation and algorithms, and then blocked the link to it
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: and then treated it like child pornography sharing because the
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: company's policy was to make sure that Joe Biden got elected.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: They knew it wasn't hacked material. That didn't matter either.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: According to the Twitter files, the decision of block the
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: article was made by the former head of Legal, public policy,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: and trust and safety at Twitter, and one of the screenshots,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: a former US policy communications manager, Trent and Kennedy, wrote
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: that he was struggling to understand the policy basis for
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: marking the Biden's story is unsafe. The decision was said
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to have been based on what several of Twitter sources
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: called a general warning from federal government, not direct general,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: about the possibility of the post article stemming from foreign interference.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Even though the deep state, the government that was warning
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook and Google and Instagram, they knew the
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: story was real. They had the laptop for over a year.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I go back and compare this to Sam Bateman Freed.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Millions of Americans have lost billions of dollars because the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: government was in on it the entire time. It's called bribery.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: That's what it is. Anyone that says it's not bribery,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're an idiot. This was clearly bribery from
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: the very beginning. Sam Bateman Freed was able to operate
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: for probably years longer than he should have been, and
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: certainly through the midterm election. Because he was their top financier.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: They were able to buy banks in ways that they
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: would no one else you and I would never be
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: allowed to. The federal government would have denied the ability
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: for us to buy a bank and do what we
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: were trying to do. And everyone knows it. Okay, everybody
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: understands this. And then he then he files for bankruptcy
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: two days before or excuse me, two days after the
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: midterm elections, and then just hours before he's going to
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: testify before Congress and explain the relationship between him and Democrats,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: he immediately just gets arrested. Are you kidding me? This
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: is communism playing out in America, Because this is what
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: happens in communist countries around the world. This is what
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: corruption looks like around the world, except now it's happening
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: in real time in the United States of America. Now,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: friends at Legacy Precious Medals. Without them, the show wouldn't
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: be possible. And if you have not looked at gold
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: and silver as a way to protect your hard earned
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: dollars against what the happening on Wall Street with inflation,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: it's time for you to call them and get the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: free Investor's Guide. Why because so many around the world
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: are now using gold and silver, and historically they have
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: for decades as a protection, a hedge against inflation, which
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: is exactly what we're dealing with right now. If you're
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: terrified to look at your retirement account, your four one
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: case statement because of what's happening on Wall Street, that's
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: all the more reason why you should call and get
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the investors got in gold and silver, protect your hard
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: earned money and diversify. Call them and get the free
• 54:42

  Speaker 1: seven five one twenty two eighteen or online at Legacy
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: PM Investments dot Com. Now, there's also a very big
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: issue that has come up, and I want to put
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: this on your radio screen as well, and that is
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: some legislation, and you want to talk about silencing people.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: You may remember we got rid of and many many
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: great men and women are military were actually fired because
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: it refused to get the vaccine. There's some legislation that
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I want to bring to your attention that Marsha Blackburn
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: is advocating for US Center. Marsha Blackburn and I went
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: and earlier today I sat down with her to talk
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: about that. But also what's happening with the Twitter files
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: as well? And is Congress going to hold people accountable
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: for what they did at Twitter? Here is that conversation.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Joining me now to talk about that as US Senator
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: at Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee. Senator, good morning, Nice to
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: have you with us. And there are a lot of
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: people that are depressed over the fact that we did
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: not get the Senate majority. In fact, we gave the
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Democrats one more seat. That's concerning, and then we have
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: now at least one senator that's flipped to independent. It's
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: going to make things very interesting and spicy. But let's
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: talk about these Twitter files. You and I have talked
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: about this backstage at SEAPAC, about the silencing, shadow banning,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: censoring of conservatives. It was real. We all experienced it
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: in real time. We all witnessed people that were calling
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: us and saying, hey, I can't reach my audience anymore.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Now we know exactly what Twitter was doing. The question
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: is what can Congress do about this, if anything at all,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: And how do we find out exactly what's been happening
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: at Google, what's been happening at YouTube, what's been happening
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: at Facebook and Instagram, because we also know that those
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: companies apparently have also met regularly with the deep state
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: and people within the government, possibly the Democratic Party as well,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: on who they want to shut down in silence. Well,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: you're right about every bit of that then, And as
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: you know, over the past two years, Senator William Fallen
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I in a bipartisans manner. He is the chairman, he
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: is the top Republican on the Consumer Protection Data Security Subcommittee.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Have held a series of hearings in the big tech
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: and looking at what they do with collecting information and
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: how they censor and prioritize. And we have directed this
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: at how the platforms use the information of children. What
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: we have come to find out is not only do
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: they do this with children, but with adults. And that
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: is confirmed with how they have gone about with the
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: censoring on Twitter and the Twitter files being made public.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: I think is such an important step and I'm glad
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is doing that now as we move forward,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: past investigations, past making criminal referrals to the Department of Justice,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: which is something that the House will be able to
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: do through oversighting investigations and the Energy and Commerce Committee
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: which covers these tech issues. There is a need for
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: online consumer privacy information. Senator billians All and I have
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the bi partisan bill, the bipartisan bill that would put
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: that national privacy standard in place. It would allow you,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: the online consumer to own your virtual view and would
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: say to these platforms, you cannot doubt of myne need,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: you cannot control my information, you cannot monetize my information
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: unless I give you explicit permission to do this. Plus victech,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: you can't kicked me off your platform. Now, that is
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: the type privacy legislation people have warned to see. I
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: have had a privacy bill for ten full years and
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: have been fighting big tech for a decade on this issue,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: and it is time to put these protections in place
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: for the American consumer. I got to ask, why has
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: it taken so long? Is it because of the lobbyists
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: and the power of big tech and the money that
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: big tech spends. I mean, we know Facebook's CEO Mark
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Zuckerberg is one of the top donors to the Democratic
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Party and to Democratic candidates. The amount of money that
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: you've spent in the last presidential election and then the
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: midterms was unbelievable. It's huge money. Is that why you
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: can't get this done so far? I? Yes, big tech
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: has fought this every step of the way, and we
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: were Mark see the bill up ten years ago in
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: the Energy and Commerce Committee in Nancy Pelosi put a
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: halt to it. Why did you do that? It's because
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: you had Silicon Valley. They're pushing against it. Why has
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: the open app market I not made its way across
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: the Senate floor. We have past it with a get
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: this twenty to two vote out of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: which would take Apple and Google off as the gatekeepers
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: on all the apps you put on the Android or
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the iPhone. And why has it not finished? It is
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: because you've got California senators that don't want that bill
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: to move forward. But the American people want to see
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: a privacy standard, they want to see data security, they
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: want to earn their virtual view when they are online,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and it is time to do this. I think people
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: are sick and tired of this. You look at what
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: is happening with children. Our Kids Online Safety Act is
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and it would prohibit these big tech
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: platforms from monetizing our children, from allowing drug dealers and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: pedophiles and videos that cause self harm to come into
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: the lives of our children. And I've worked very closely
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: with parent advocates, kid advocates teams themselves who have said
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: there needs to be some policing and reigning end of
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: these video platforms. And it is those senators that represent
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: these areas that are slow in this down. But we
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: need to get these protections online. People want to have security.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: They want to know that their right to privacy is protected,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: whether they're in the physical space are virtual space. Well,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: let's talk about TikTok because you mentioned that people want
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: safety and security. It's pretty clear now from all of
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: the different intel and warnings that have come out that
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: TikTok is nothing more than a spying mechanism for China.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Why are we still allowing the TikTok app to be
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: used when we know that it's just about data gathering
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: on every single user, Especially in the US. We've seen
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: states now that are banning the TikTok app from being
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: downloaded onto government phones. With the federal government move to that,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: or is there just too much influence from the left
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: to say no, no no, no, we got to keep China's
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: top app. And you know, rolling in America, we have
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: trying to get TikTok ban and indeed President Trump moves
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: to remove TikTok. Biden let TikTok back in. And what
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: we know is that federal funes we remove them from
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: the phones of our military and our federal employees. They
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: cannot put these social media apps on a federal phone.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: We know that that is dangerous and so and your
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: military can't have it on any phones. This is something
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: that's the Chinese Communist Party who is in cahoots. Remember
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: with the other members of your axis of evil. You
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: have Russia, China run in North Korea. These are people
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: that do not wish us well. And you don't want
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: them having access to sensitive data and information. Let's talk
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: about quickly before we move to another issue that deals
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: with the military. About lying to Congress, Senator, it's getting frustrating,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I know for many Americans at watch and this last
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: week is a perfect example. This we have video of
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Jack Dorsey deliver brittley lying to congressmen and being asked
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: questions about shadow banning, about silencing conservatives. We know that
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: he lied to Congress. Now based on the internal files
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: of Twitter that are being exposed, does anyone get in
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: trouble anymore if you're a Democrat or on the left,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: if you just straight up lie to Congress? Is there
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: any accountability anymore about lying to Congress? It was supposed
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: to be a big deal, Like, hey, when you go
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: testifying Congress, you don't lie, Well, it is a big deal.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: And you look at people that race their hand and
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: take that oath and then sit down in that chair
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: and answer things in a very curious way if you will.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: And I think that as you have the House going
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: under Republican control, you will see some action take place
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: for people that have chosen to stand there and not
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: And I look forward to what the House members are
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: going to do, is they began to take these actions.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: You look at what we're finding out from the Twitter files,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: and as you said, if Twitter was doing it, you
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: know that other people are doing it. And then I
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: think one of the things that has taught them out
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: that is important for us to remember is that the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: contributions is these employees at Twitter made were ninety six
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: to ninety nine percent all for Democrat candidates. So what
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: they were doing was taking their political ideology and then
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: they were making decisions based completely on that, and they
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: were getting rid of things that offended their sensibilities. Not
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: things that were something breaking the rules, are breaking a law,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: but they were actually infringing someone's free speech because they
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: disagreed with the point of view. So let that sink
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: in for a minute and think about what they're actually
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: doing here and the dangers of that. So these people
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: that have come before Congress raised their hand, taken an oath,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: and now we're finding out they knew differently, they had knowledge,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: and they did something different. And we are going to
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: have to be very attuned to watching what the House
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: does as they move forward with these referrals. I hope that.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: And I say this because I've talked to so many
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: people that are just at the point of beyond outrage
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: and they feel like sometimes Conservatives when they get to
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Congress don't fight the same way Democrats do. I hope
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: you guys and Senate encourage them to stick to it,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: to get to the truth, hold people accountable in the
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: House because people are expecting that. I want to move
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: to this other issue. You have called on Biden to
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: sign the National Defense Bill and repeal his power grabbing
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: military COVID mandate. This is a COVID vaccine mandate that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: was harmful to the military. Not only was it harmful
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: and took away people's rights when it comes to medical decisions,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: but it also, now we have been told, has put
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: us in a bad spot with our troop numbers. Talk
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: about this and is there a chance that they will
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: admit we got this wrong, kicking people out of the
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: military for not being vaccinated. Yes, And what we are
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: working to do right now is get this DAA across
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: the line. And we know that thirty three hundred marines,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: eighteen hundred soldiers, eighteen hundred sailors, and nine hundred airmen
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: have been removed from active duty service because of this mandate.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: You also have members of the National Guard removed because
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: of this mandate. So my legislation that has made it
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: into the NBAA and already passed the House, says the DoD,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: you've got thirty days and this goes away. But by
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: the end of thirty days, it is gone and they
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: have to implement it. And what we do know is
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: that because of these efforts that I've been making for
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: six months, that there are some members of the military
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: that have already been called back. If you've got a
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: squadron that needs a highly trained pilot, or you've got
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: other special skills and they can't fill out a unit,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: some of these individuals have been allowed to move back
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: in to service. And with this we think you will
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: see others of that. The next step, after we get
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: this mandate rescinded, is to make these men and women
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: that were released whole, to get them their benefits, to
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: allow them back into the military if they so choose
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: to serve. Those are components that we will go to
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: rectifying this situation. This overstep that DoD and the Biden
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: administration has exercised. Are there democrats are willing to come
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: alongside you on this one that you've talked to Kylie
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: who said, yeah, we understand this. I mean this to
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: me seems like it could be a very big bipartisan
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: type bill. Well, and it has. And there in mind,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: when I presented these amendments in committee, they were voted
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: down on the party line vote. And now what we've
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: seen is that with bipartisan support, it has come out
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: of the House and it will move with bipartisan support
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: through the Senate. Incredible center. I appreciate your time as always,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: good to chat with you this morning, and keep us
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: update on this bill as it moves forward. Good luck
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: in this new Congress. I know there's a lot of
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: people they're excited to see what Republicans do. You were
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: in the House for a long time, so keep encouraging
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: those guys. Don't back down because I know there's a
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: lot of people that are afraid that's what's going to happen,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna get everybody's support who's been there before
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, don't back down. So thanks as always,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again real soon. Taught it, take
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: care of good Bye, As I've said before, we are
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: going to keep exposing the Twitter files every day. When
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: new stuff drops, we will have it here for you.
