Twitter Took Secret Actions Against Conservatives to SILENCE THEIR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS for years! · 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 band 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? We'll 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 ree 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 order to suppress and
3:00
Speaker 1: shadow bann the reach of certain accounts, virtually all of
3:04
Speaker 1: them conservative. Something of shadow banning, again, is the practice
3:08
Speaker 1: of suppressing a user on a platform, or a user
3:13
Speaker 1: and 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: and already said the same thing. Regardless of yeah, thank um,
6:21
Speaker 1: you know, Sean, regardless of what happens, 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's
6:34
Speaker 1: why you know you get heart of Mark. But when
6:36
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, you know, well, regardless of what happens, he
6:39
Speaker 1: may lose legitimately may lose billions of dollars on this acquisition.
6:43
Speaker 1: I don't think he will. I think he's a creative guy,
6:45
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna build this thing out to
6:47
Speaker 1: be something special. But he has done a service to
6:49
Speaker 1: this country. He had He has literally, not figuratively, changed
6:54
Speaker 1: the history of I think how big tech is going
6:56
Speaker 1: to operate moving forward. He's exposed one key point. I
6:59
Speaker 1: want the audio. It's understandings that what the press did
7:02
Speaker 1: to collude and interfere and potentially fleeced the twenty twenty
7:06
Speaker 1: election away from Donald Trump based on based on solid
7:10
Speaker 1: data a polling taken afterwards about how people would have
7:13
Speaker 1: voted if they would have known about the hunter Biden's story,
7:15
Speaker 1: But not get into any other stuff. I'm talking strictly
7:18
Speaker 1: about that the media intentionally did that. Sean, This is
7:22
Speaker 1: my point. This wasn't misfeasance, right. Misfeasance is different. You
7:26
Speaker 1: see someone trip on the sidewalk in front of you you,
7:28
Speaker 1: you don't help him. That's misfeasance. That's not what this was.
7:32
Speaker 1: This was malfeasance. A guy trips on the sidewalk in
7:35
Speaker 1: front of you and you kick him in the teeth
7:38
Speaker 1: as he's getting up. They did this on purpose. This
7:42
Speaker 1: was active collusion between the FBI, people in the DHS,
7:46
Speaker 1: the d NI people at the FEC who had heard
7:49
Speaker 1: about this stuff, Twitter, and big tech to steal away
7:53
Speaker 1: your country. And you know what, listen to me, folks.
7:56
Speaker 1: They did it, and Elon Musk is trying to help
7:59
Speaker 1: you get it back to the Republicans in Congress who
8:02
Speaker 1: now about to take over in January, you better grow
8:05
Speaker 1: some moose nuts and you better do something about this,
8:08
Speaker 1: or we're not going to have a damn country left.
8:11
Speaker 1: This is the public square. I love Fox News and
8:14
Speaker 1: I love working here, but Sean, even though we have
8:16
Speaker 1: the biggest shows in primetime, it's still just a small
8:19
Speaker 1: population of America. We cannot win an election in the
8:23
Speaker 1: future with just Fox News. You need Twitter to be open,
8:27
Speaker 1: you need Facebook to be open, you need these other platforms.
8:31
Speaker 1: It's why I put my money behind these other things too, because,
8:34
Speaker 1: like you said, I'm trying to build this parallel economy
8:36
Speaker 1: out Maybe that's why I'm public enemy number one to
8:39
Speaker 1: these guys showing I don't know, but I'm telling you.
8:41
Speaker 1: I promise the audience I don't whine about it every
8:43
Speaker 1: day on my show because I'm not a snowflake. You
8:46
Speaker 1: have no idea what goes on behind the scenes with
8:48
Speaker 1: Facebook fact checking my page over nonsense, Google banning US,
8:53
Speaker 1: YouTube banning US, Twitter shadow banning US. It's relentless. It
8:57
Speaker 1: never stops. They have put a guitar get on my
9:00
Speaker 1: back for a long time now. Dan Bongino is right,
9:03
Speaker 1: by the way, He's absolutely right what's happening. And he's
9:06
Speaker 1: not the only one that was affected this way. One
9:08
Speaker 1: of the other people that was affected in a major
9:11
Speaker 1: way that is a name, a man by the name
9:13
Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk. Now, Charlie Kirk had a very active
9:16
Speaker 1: Twitter account. He had a massive amount of engagement at Twitter.
9:22
Speaker 1: And the reason why he had that engage is because
9:24
Speaker 1: he was connecting with young people and conservatives and they
9:27
Speaker 1: was trying to build a conservative base to fight back
9:29
Speaker 1: against liberals and schools and colleges, woke professors and all
9:33
Speaker 1: that they were involved in in public education. He was
9:36
Speaker 1: taking on universities around the country and these Twitter Bomb
9:41
Speaker 1: Shelf Files Part two prove what all conservatives have long
9:46
Speaker 1: been not just suspected of it, but had been accusing
9:49
Speaker 1: Twitter and big tech of doing. You get on a list,
9:52
Speaker 1: and I believe I was on this list because our
9:54
Speaker 1: Twitter reach just died overnight. We went from a half
9:58
Speaker 1: million followers to one hundred and twenty something thousand, and
10:00
Speaker 1: it didn't move for four years. And a tweet for
10:03
Speaker 1: us would be a good tweet if it got ten
10:05
Speaker 1: people that retweeted it. Ten people, that's it. Charlie Kirk
10:10
Speaker 1: found out he was targeted. All of his suspicions were true. Right,
10:13
Speaker 1: he was a conspiracy theorist. No, no, no, he wasn't
10:16
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist because he saw it in real time,
10:19
Speaker 1: just like I did. Charlie Kirk is someone else who
10:22
Speaker 1: apparently was censored by Twitter, as the founder in president
10:25
Speaker 1: of Turning Point USA. We just told you that. Barry
10:28
Speaker 1: Wie a few moments ago reported that internally Twitter censors
10:31
Speaker 1: set Charlie Kirk's account to do not amplify status. Charlie
10:35
Speaker 1: Kirk joins us right now, Charlie, thanks so much for
10:39
Speaker 1: coming on. You're just hearing this too. I mean, this
10:42
Speaker 1: just happened. This is happening in fact as we talk
10:45
Speaker 1: about it. But do you have any idea which of
10:48
Speaker 1: your tweets set this censorship in motion? I could probably guess.
10:56
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of years ago, Axios did a
10:57
Speaker 1: study that showed that our Twitter account had was the
11:01
Speaker 1: fourth most engaged Twitter account on the planet, right up
11:03
Speaker 1: there with President Trump. I mean, I've been using Twitter
11:05
Speaker 1: for a decade. Happened to understand it really well, and
11:08
Speaker 1: we were averaging one hundred and fifteen thousand retweets a
11:11
Speaker 1: day when we were really at our peak, and we
11:14
Speaker 1: would talk about, for example, in the midst of the virus,
11:16
Speaker 1: how lockdowns might not be the best decision. We started
11:19
Speaker 1: talking about how hey, I asked the question, are there
11:21
Speaker 1: other treatments that we might want to talk about? So
11:23
Speaker 1: it could have been that. But then all of a sudden,
11:24
Speaker 1: we saw off a cliff. Almost immediately, our engagement, our
11:28
Speaker 1: retweets disappear. I started to talk about this a lot, Tucker,
11:32
Speaker 1: and I was called the conspiracy theorist. I was smeared
11:35
Speaker 1: and I started the email crazy, yes exactly, well you're
11:40
Speaker 1: quot on. I'm like, wait, hold on a second. I
11:41
Speaker 1: used to get one hundred fifteen thousand retweets, and then
11:44
Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those things, right Tucker, where
11:46
Speaker 1: they convince you to stop talking about it because you
11:48
Speaker 1: sound like, Okay, who cares about your Twitter account? Not
11:50
Speaker 1: a big deal. And now you see actual verified documents
11:54
Speaker 1: where my Twitter account was labeled as do not amplify NSFW,
11:59
Speaker 1: which I could only in FIR means not safe for work,
12:02
Speaker 1: other like threat tags. They're treating my Twitter account with
12:06
Speaker 1: more scrutiny and censorship than the Prime Minister of Iran
12:11
Speaker 1: than hamas the people that do actual terroristic type damage.
12:16
Speaker 1: And now we have evidence to show that's exactly why
12:18
Speaker 1: my Twitter A count the last couple of years has
12:20
Speaker 1: been down ninety five percent in engagement. They saw what
12:24
Speaker 1: I had to say as a direct threat to the regime.
12:27
Speaker 1: You think about what Charlie Kirk just said there about
12:29
Speaker 1: he has a Twitter account that is silenced. But the
12:33
Speaker 1: terrorists in al Qaeda, in the Taliban, in Iran, they
12:40
Speaker 1: don't have their tweets silence or censored. The regime in
12:43
Speaker 1: China and in Russia do not have their tweets silence
12:47
Speaker 1: because if you went after any of them, and you
12:50
Speaker 1: 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 could 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 Lower. 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
14:11
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 blank.
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
14:38
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
15:05
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 there's certainly tweets that promote violence, which is
15:17
Speaker 1: against our terms of service. And people have controls to block,
15:20
Speaker 1: and people have controls to mute. But what about the
15:23
Speaker 1: company who decides the difference between criticism and hate. These
15:28
Speaker 1: 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 States, some of it
15:44
Speaker 1: from 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 was 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: them to see me succeed much. Let's 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 the 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 Sat
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, nie
17:30
Speaker 1: slapping as they were watching the Today's Show, going can
17:33
Speaker 1: you believe the power that we have? This is amazing.
17:37
Speaker 1: He also lied again when he did a interview on
17:40
Speaker 1: CNN with you know, mister potato head himself to do
17:42
Speaker 1: that's been fired Brian Skelter, one of the scumbags at
17:46
Speaker 1: CNN that would silence and censor people and tell his
17:48
Speaker 1: friends in big tech to attack conservatives. This guy who
17:54
Speaker 1: mocked Donald Trump asked the question about Trump like, hey,
17:57
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says your shadow banning and silencing him, and
18:00
Speaker 1: they're conservatives, And listen to Jack Dorsey's response to this question.
18:04
Speaker 1: The President called you out for shadow banning. What is
18:07
Speaker 1: the truth around that idea? So I think a lot
18:12
Speaker 1: of the statements behind the statement and the question behind
18:15
Speaker 1: the question is look, shadow banning is a very widely
18:20
Speaker 1: defined term. There's not one single definition. So the definition
18:26
Speaker 1: that we found that seems to resonate with the most people,
18:29
Speaker 1: is you know, not amplifying particular messages, or if someone
18:34
Speaker 1: puts out a tweet hiding that tweet from everyone without
18:40
Speaker 1: that person who tweeted it knowing about it. But the
18:43
Speaker 1: real question behind the question is are we doing something
18:47
Speaker 1: according 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?
19:23
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 was lying, because
20:00
Speaker 1: we now know from the internal files that not only
20:03
Speaker 1: was he did he know about this program at Twitter,
20:06
Speaker 1: he was involved in it and a part of it.
20:08
Speaker 1: He was in part of the decision making process. I
20:12
Speaker 1: need to tell you about my good friends at Legacy

Speaker 1: That's Legacy PM Investments dot com. There was something else
21:29
Speaker 1: that also happened. This was several years ago. There were
21:33
Speaker 1: starting to be articles that were written and reviews that
21:37
Speaker 1: were being written. You heard earlider Charlie Kirk mentioned Axios
21:40
Speaker 1: did an expose about the silencing of their Twitter account
21:44
Speaker 1: and did the dad and the research and the analysis
21:46
Speaker 1: on all of it, and it was it was damning.
21:49
Speaker 1: And so what happened was Big Tech was being accused
21:52
Speaker 1: by virtually every talk show host that was significant in
21:55
Speaker 1: the country of silencing them, shadow banning them. We were
21:59
Speaker 1: hearing from listeners and callers that were calling in and
22:02
Speaker 1: they were saying over and over again, Hey, we got
22:05
Speaker 1: a problem here, like we can't find you. I can't
22:07
Speaker 1: find your stuff, I can't find your information. We really
22:13
Speaker 1: can't find out what's happening right now with you. And
22:17
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. Yead 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
22:55
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, qan On
23:24
Speaker 1: 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 Sean
24:01
Speaker 1: Handy's TV show our radio show. I should say, we
24:05
Speaker 1: do not shoutout Ampeele 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
24:39
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 Handy. 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: owner 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.
26:05
Speaker 1: But to look you in the eye and tell you,
26:07
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, you're the crazy one, right you are.
26:11
Speaker 1: You are the crazy one. We're not crazy, you're crazy.
26:16
Speaker 1: You're the one that's paranoid. You're the one that's part
26:19
Speaker 1: of qing on. In fact, let's just go back to
26:21
Speaker 1: Congress for a second. Twitter ceo was testifying before a
26:25
Speaker 1: House panel, and he knew that he was lying to
26:28
Speaker 1: Congress when he was asked this question by a congressman
26:30
Speaker 1: who then to the Twitter ceo. And this is his
26:33
Speaker 1: response to this whole hearing. And the reason that Twitter, somehow,
26:37
Speaker 1: with all the other social media platforms out there, got
26:40
Speaker 1: the singular honor to sit in front of this committee
26:43
Speaker 1: is because there's some implication that your site is trying
26:48
Speaker 1: to sense their conservative voices on your platform. Now, when
26:52
Speaker 1: you tried to explain the shadow banning, as I understand it,
26:56
Speaker 1: you had a system where if people who were following
27:00
Speaker 1: people had some behaviors that that was the trigger that
27:06
Speaker 1: allowed that caused you to do the shadow banning. So
27:09
Speaker 1: you were really like an equal opportunity shadow banner. Right,
27:12
Speaker 1: You didn't just shadow band for conservative Republicans. You shadow
27:16
Speaker 1: band six hundred thousand people across your entire platform, across
27:20
Speaker 1: the globe who had people following them that had certain
27:24
Speaker 1: behaviors that caused you to downgrade them coming up. Is
27:28
Speaker 1: that correct? I love this. By the way, this is
27:30
Speaker 1: a Democrat idiot from Pennsylvania Democrat congressman saying, well, if
27:35
Speaker 1: there is shadow banning, it's not like you're just targeting conservatives.
27:39
Speaker 1: Because this is when it got even worse for Twitter. Right,
27:42
Speaker 1: Dorisey'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 it would ever come out what they
28:05
Speaker 1: were actually doing and shadow banning people. And there's 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's
28:17
Speaker 1: one hundreds of thousands of people, right, all right? You
28:19
Speaker 1: ready 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. Well 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 XCF for a second, just to show
29:26
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 Ken 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,
30:49
Speaker 1: spooking Google were 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 story. 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? At 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 follow 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 Taibee 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.
32:51
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. Jadichara, who is an eminent physician from Stanford,
33:27
Speaker 1: multiple degrees and incredibly sober, sensible, rational, thoughtful person, one
33:34
Speaker 1: of the three founders of the Great Barrington Declaration, which
33:39
Speaker 1: just said it wasn't COVID denying, it was just saying
33:43
Speaker 1: we know enough to know that it really just hits
33:47
Speaker 1: the elderly and the infirm, so they should be protected.
33:50
Speaker 1: And let younger people who aren't affected keep the economy
33:54
Speaker 1: going and basically create herd immunity by getting sick the
34:00
Speaker 1: virus and not dying. And that was just the most
34:04
Speaker 1: eminently sensible thing for everybody's mental health, physical health, and
34:09
Speaker 1: economic health. And he was shadow band, he and every
34:15
Speaker 1: sensible person online who said children should not be getting
34:18
Speaker 1: these shots because the ill effects outweighed the benefits. And
34:24
Speaker 1: they were right. And unfortunately, you know, doctor Fauci and
34:30
Speaker 1: all these people who just decided they were going to
34:32
Speaker 1: suppress the truth, they probably cost people's lives. Of course
34:36
Speaker 1: 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.
34:52
Speaker 1: So you know, this was sophisticated and had a huge
34:54
Speaker 1: effect on American society. I would say a huge effect.
34:59
Speaker 1: If you can take out all the big Republican names,
35:02
Speaker 1: you can go on TV like Jack Dorsey did saying
35:05
Speaker 1: I we never censored any concervatives, and you're crazy if
35:08
Speaker 1: you take away the reach of every conservative talk showst
35:13
Speaker 1: in the country, every conservative commentator in the country. That's significant.
35:17
Speaker 1: Imagine how you can change an election. Imagine what you
35:20
Speaker 1: can do when you can silence and ban a story
35:23
Speaker 1: and then treat people that are trying to share that
35:25
Speaker 1: story about Hunter Biden's laptop like they are sharing child pornography.
35:30
Speaker 1: Imagine how successful you can be an election after election
35:33
Speaker 1: if the Democratic Party, the Deep State, the FBI, Hillary
35:38
Speaker 1: Clinton's campaign, Joe Biden's campaign can just send a note
35:44
Speaker 1: to big Tech saying, this guy's a pain in our ass.
35:48
Speaker 1: Can you silence him, make him disappear? Can you make
35:51
Speaker 1: it where Dan Bonino 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.
