On today's episode of Thick & Thin I talk about the way that information is being censored and manipulated by the left and right, and how it affects our ability to think and speak freely. I also talk about a new book I'm reading called "Tokyo Style" by Ryan Kiyochi Suzuki.

00:02:26.000Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg posted a document to Twitter containing tweets that she was told to post and actions that she should take regarding the current protests in India.
00:02:50.000But they are also devoid of free speech.
00:02:54.000If the mob, if Biden, if the top brass says this is the narrative, Hunter Biden didn't have a laptop, they can't even, they have to jump on board.
00:03:04.000If you're an actor, you have to hate Trump.
00:03:08.000So in a way, they're also deprived of free speech.
00:03:11.000Now, I'm sure there's some lucky radical lefties who get to say, speak their mind because they happen to be on the same track as the swamp.
00:03:20.000But if they're not, they better get the fuck on it.
00:05:11.000New York Post today, lessons from a cop killer.
00:05:13.000We're seeing more and more of this in the American divorce.
00:05:17.000I'm going to get really in-depth on this ancient viral video where seven people decide who gets $1,000.
00:05:24.000I just think it's relevant today because I'm really seeing this clearly now, this divorce.
00:05:28.000And part of the divorce is black schools will be black schools.
00:05:31.000And they will teach radical black politics where fucking a Black Lives Matter Week of Action at City School uses a quote from radical Joanne Chasemart, a.k.a.
00:05:42.000Shakur, who was convicted of killing New Jersey state trooper Werner Foster.
00:05:50.000That the D.C. schools, and you know it's a black school, obviously, are teaching the BLM curriculum, including that disband the nuclear family, smash the patriarchy.
00:06:02.000Anyway, if you're not in New York City, this is a bad day for you because this is one of the spiciest posts I've ever seen.
00:06:09.000This guy fell asleep at the wheel and burnt his fucking face off and lost his hands.
00:06:14.000He was on fire for a significant amount of time.
00:10:44.000I'm taking creative writing here in college, which is a total fucking waste of time.
00:10:50.000I just couldn't help but notice that you haven't written any books, and the only two books you have are collections from some shitty woman's magazine in the 70s.
00:11:41.000And it's because she's Jewish and lesbian and confident.
00:11:46.000And if a white person, white person, if a man, a heterosexual male had accomplished what he did, what she's done, I 100% guarantee you, you never would have heard of him.
00:11:57.000So anyway, she's got a show now on Netflix where she sits on her big fat ass and talks to Martin Scorsese with pithy comments.
00:12:06.000And all he does is laugh his head off because it's known, if you want to be known as a New Yorker, you have to eat out Fran Leibowitz.
00:14:34.000See, this is what we were talking about yesterday, where you'll hear something outrageous, like that woman, Mary Lynn, chased a child down the street who was in Sandy Hook and said your fellow students weren't shot.
00:14:50.000And then you have to dig and dig and dig and dig, and you find out she was actually harassing David Hogg about a dumb law that he advocates for at a gun conference.
00:15:44.000So she goes, no one wants to, she's on weekend update, no one wants to fuck my big fat ass.
00:15:50.000I'll tell you what, if it was slavery days again, they'd be just like fucking me and pulling out big babies, LeBron James, fucking Deontay Wilder.
00:15:57.000I would just be like a giant fucking athlete nigga machine.
00:20:05.000And the kind of comedy we do, which is an awkward kind of improv where everyone's reading cards over someone's shoulder, is a very rare gift.
00:20:13.000So I know I'm going to have to take a hit on something.
00:20:16.000But if I can combine gay and Asian, and by the way, I've watched this stand up.
00:20:20.000We watched this stand up on the show, right?
00:20:22.000Everything, every joke is that I'm gay and I'm Asian, and I'm Asian and I'm gay.
00:21:57.000That was one of Saki's problems recently.
00:21:59.000So, 1-8, there's been rumors that Lindsey Graham's gay.
00:22:05.000And let's all hold hands right now and try to give a flying fuck if a politician we don't really pay attention to sucks a dick on his own time.
00:22:14.000Nowhere near any of the dicks we know.
00:22:54.000So Pissaki has, I'm gonna call her Psaki from now on.
00:22:58.000Pisaki has noticed that if you come up with a really fun, mean insult, it sticks to them like little Marco Rubio or Sleepy Was Sleepy Joe Biden.
00:32:19.000So that's why we need this little help to get over the hump.
00:32:22.000That would be my pitch if I was a liar.
00:32:26.000What I would really do is go, I'm a very wealthy man, so I'm just Going to sit here and watch you people devour each other because you're all fucking disgusting savages, the kind of people who are available for extras, except for the Asian chick who's clearly fucking the producer.
00:32:41.000You guys have to decide together who's the one person that leaves.
00:32:44.000Guys, here's the thing: we could each leave with like $150.
00:34:14.000Because you can't mean Nazis, although I'm sure a lot of people interpret that way.
00:34:18.000I guess you mean we have to tackle the fact that whites...
00:34:22.000It's not even that whites do better because when you look at the poor, they're mostly white, but that when you look at the very richest people in America, they tend to be white.
00:35:53.000Like if you were really working, you'd say, I work for a nonprofit called stoptheclimatestuff.com and I work all day there.
00:36:01.000I'm the head of Facebook comment development.
00:36:04.000But no, she just sits around on her big fat Muslim ass eating hummus and doing nothing but bitching on the internet, which we all do for fun every time we take a shit.
00:46:13.000Like, if you could show this in 1950, I could see everyone saying no and giving it to, I don't know, the one poor person, or maybe all of them refusing it.
00:46:22.000This is all just fuck you, fellow man.
00:47:16.000So I just think it's interesting that race coming from me towards any one of you would be ghastly and inappropriate, but race coming towards any one of you towards me is appropriate.
00:47:30.000Please don't put me in that because I never said anything about race.
00:48:08.000I said somebody misguessed your gender.
00:48:09.000You're going to speak about it, correct?
00:48:11.000Well, no, because I felt attacked in that situation, and I was hearing you saying you don't know what I'm talking about because of the color of your skin.
00:48:55.000I'm at this point where I want to stick around in the match so I can be actively in the discussion, but I'm like starting to hear everyone's input and I'm like, like, oh, shoot.
00:49:05.000Like, maybe I don't deserve this, you know?
00:53:34.000You know what my friend Seth once said?
00:53:36.000He goes, gays are naturally duplicitous because, and I've told you this story before when he goes, no, seriously, Gavin, you take a fag baby, and then he motioned in the air with a fag baby, which I must have laughed for three days straight as he handed it to me.
01:00:59.000And just sort of walk away because it's a divorce.
01:01:03.000You know, a year ago, if a black woman comes up to you and she's having trouble with the parking meter, maybe a year and a half ago, she's like, this is complicated.
01:02:00.000Then why don't you take it from three jobs to one?
01:02:03.000That's like saying, why don't you get a job?
01:02:05.000I mean, I'm in the process of getting a job.
01:02:07.000I would never work three jobs and be stressing myself out like that because that's what personally I got nothing and I'm doing the fucking best I can.
01:02:14.000And if I don't get a break, I genuinely don't know what's going to happen to me.
01:03:27.000I just want to warn you guys you're in about three minutes.
01:03:29.000I think you should come to about I think the problem is with a lot of these white dudes like him is they've never confronted this American divorce before.
01:03:38.000So he just got, he just, he just got sat down by his parents and they said, yeah, we're separating and we're never getting back together.
01:06:43.000They want him to get off his ass and get a job.
01:06:45.000They want her to stop eating so much hummus.
01:06:48.000But they don't want to talk about their race and politics and white males get told that that was unnecessary when they stand up for themselves.
01:06:55.000And by the way, stand up for himself barely.
01:06:57.000I would have been chewing these people a new ass with my fucking fangs.
01:12:38.000You realize her angles changed to if she gets into an accident, which was the other woman with the knees said, if my knee gets hurt, I lose three jobs.
01:13:00.000Yeah, we picked Shakira because they had already decided prior and instead of leaving the money on the table, so he gave her somebody that could use it.
01:16:20.000That's why no one knows a Puerto Rican.
01:16:25.000We talked about this yesterday briefly, but the AOC thing is not dying.
01:16:29.000And it's really fun seeing the left pretzel twist, including AOC herself, pretzel twist what she said and be like, look, I didn't know what part of the Capitol building they were in, and there was bombs.
01:16:41.000And then her new solution, which is the new solution of mainstream America, is censorship.
01:17:51.000AOC, on the other hand, is a deranged megalomaniac who I think's on Adderall, who makes everything about herself, as Tucker Carlson pointed out.
01:18:01.000But here's her solution to people making fun of her for lying.
01:18:07.000I just thought to myself they got inside.
01:18:09.000It wasn't, it was the Capitol Hill police officer.
01:18:12.000She then tried to deflect being caught out lying about her location by claiming Trump supporters had planted bombs outside her office.
01:18:20.000As Candice Owens notes, there were absolutely zero bombs planted by Trump supporters.
01:18:25.000Pipe bombs were planted outside both Republican and Democratic headquarters the night before Trump's speech.
01:18:44.000And it was both Republican and Democrat, which to me sounds like Antifa or some super libertarian, like, fuck the government guy.
01:18:52.000So just as she lied about saying Ted Cruz wanted to get her murdered, AOC lied about that too.
01:18:59.000During this Instagram stream, she also mixed in with the narrative the claim that she had once been sexually abused, as if to ward off people from questioning her capital building hoax by feigning fake Me Too victimhood.
01:19:12.000After all this was exposed on Twitter, the hashtag Alexandria Akasio Smolette started trending.
01:19:18.000This infuriated AOC to the point where she sent out a mass email to her supporters, demanding they try to get people using the hashtag shutdown.
01:19:27.000Identify any posts that are threatening or harassing and use the built-in report features to flag them for moderators.
01:19:33.000Facebook and Twitter both have built-in tools for reporting posts and tweets.
01:21:13.000But they're also going after now the senators and the reporters who are right-wing because if they can crush us, their next step is to crush you.
01:21:22.000They want to put you in jail for supporting the Constitution.
01:21:26.000They want to imprison you for supporting the Bill of Rights.
01:21:29.000And you're supposed to accept not only is your opinion disinformation, but when it gets censored and you get banned, you're wrong.
01:21:38.000If you recall the other day, we were talking about that NYU study that said that conservative censorship is a myth.
01:21:46.000Didn't you censor the fucking president of the United States, the Republican president?
01:21:51.000And now we discover, I hope I haven't mentioned this yet, researchers at NYU asserted in a new study that conservatives have pushed disinformation by accusing big tech firms of anti-conservative bias.
01:22:05.000So if you think that there's anti-conservative bias, that's disinformation.
01:22:18.000The study was funded by Craig Newmark, the billionaire founder of Craigslist, who contributed $100,000 to help Joe Biden's presidential campaign.
01:22:29.000One of Joe Biden's donors is the guy who funded this study.
01:22:34.000And the study determined that Joe Biden's detractors are publishing disinformation and are not being censored for it.
01:22:43.000The study called decisions by Twitter and Facebook to censor links to a New York Post story about Hunter Biden to be a reasonable decision.
01:22:50.000The study makes the unsubstantiated claim that the story was based on stolen materials.
01:22:55.000The researchers also urge President Biden to create a digital regulatory agency, which is fucking amazing.
01:23:05.000Biden is going to have a reality czar right out of, literally right out of 1984, the Ministry of Truth.
01:23:16.000So the study, funded by a Biden donor, says that talking about Hunter Biden doesn't get you censored, and it's disinformation if it does.
01:23:28.000And then he says you should have a reality czar.
01:23:31.000The task force could also meet regularly with tech platforms and push for structural changes that could help those companies tackle their own extremism and misinformation problems.
01:23:43.000For example, it could formulate safe harbor exemptions that would allow platforms to share data about QAnon and other conspiracy theory communities with researchers and government agencies without running afoul of privacy laws.
01:25:04.000I don't think I've ever come across anyone who believes that they torture children to get the adrenaline going, then I guess cut them and then drink their blood.
01:26:12.000So Dan Bongino and the Asian guys take, well, pull it up.
01:26:17.000So investor Dan Bongino slams him for lying and insists he was sacked for giving up on the site's free speech vision, which I find pretty weird that John Matzey would be against free speech.
01:26:29.000So they're both saying the same thing.
01:26:30.000Dan Bongino is saying, we're being accused of bending the knee and not being for free speech.
01:26:34.000And Joe Matzy was fired because John Matzy wanted too much stuff, but too much freedom.
01:26:40.000But he goes, no, that was, we could have been up on Amazon in a week if we had bent the knee.
01:26:53.000And now they're saying it was the other way around, that Matzi was, I hope I'm pronouncing his name right, that Matzi was against free speech, which sorry, I know the dude.
01:27:29.000You need a freak to go off at a tangent.
01:27:31.000That's what all the best inventions are.
01:27:33.000There's some nut who decided that maybe a stomach ulcer was actually a bacteria and it's just a bacteria that could survive in stomach acid, which everyone said, you're a fucking idiot.
01:27:58.000Not being a team player, I don't see that as an insult.
01:28:01.000In fact, for some reason, out of all the things that's still up on YouTube is me, don't go to it, is me talking and doing a TED Talk against team players and how it's a bad move.
01:28:15.000So the other insult is that he followed Roosh V. Scroll down.
01:28:20.000Now, Roosh V, this is another thing the mainstream media can't do.
01:28:24.000I didn't mean scroll down one centimeter.
01:28:26.000I meant to the whole fucking article retard.
01:28:30.000Usually just go to pictures in this instance.
01:28:33.000Roosh V is different than the Roche V of...
01:28:37.000He used to do pickup artist stuff, how to get laid, how to meet chicks.
01:28:41.000And then he realized that that wasn't good for society as he became a trad cat, traditional Catholic, and now he's living in like some mountain home talking about how men should put a ring on it and settle down.
01:31:03.000So that's amazing because in the headline, they admit it's a real far twist to get Roger Stone involved.
01:31:10.000The game Six Degrees of Separation, like the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, is a funny game where you can pick anything in the world, like a carrot or Wes Lang or Dimitri Martin, and find someone who knows someone,
01:31:27.000who knows someone, who knows someone, and then you'll find a link, right?
01:31:30.000So what it means is I have absolutely nothing in common with Hulk Hogan whatsoever.
01:31:34.000But with six people, I probably know someone who's hung out with them and is bros with them, and I could probably even get to meet him if I go to that guy's lake house.
01:31:43.000That's what six degrees of separation means, or at least in the Kevin Bacon context.
01:31:49.000And it means that you have nothing to do with the thing.
01:31:52.000I have nothing to do with Hulk Hogan whatsoever.
01:31:55.000So in his title, this fucking rube is conceding that his hypothesis makes no sense.
01:33:29.000How Trump allies stoked the flames ahead of the Capitol riots.
01:33:32.000Now, the reason that's just a picture of an article and I'm not showing you the video is because it's this really pandering and tedious video that's like six minutes long with a tinkling piano and all the people that CNN thinks is responsible for the Capitol.
01:34:45.000You got Enrique, who's facing charges, known as working with the feds.
01:34:52.000Then you got Joe Biggs, backwards baseball hat.
01:34:55.000His charges don't seem that bad, but who knows?
01:34:58.000I think he has like trespassing, misdemeanor, da-da-da-da-da.
01:35:01.000But then there's a, I think they all have these gray areas where it's like potential for sedition or something, and it's like a really wide net that could fuck you to the tune of 20 years.
01:35:12.000And then next to him with the orange straps, there's Rufio Panman.
01:35:27.000Because he was on the front lines, and I guess as everyone was recording it, surely they didn't think they were doing something wrong if they were recording it with ties to white nationalism.
01:36:27.000Federal prosecutors claim that Nordim was among those who entered the Capitol.
01:36:30.000It is also alleged that Nourdim was near the front of the crowd of rioters who collectively approached, confronted, and vastly outnumbered U.S. Capitol.
01:37:03.000Or it could mean a bunch of bullshit shit talking on social media where they just sort of went, I'd fucking love to shoot Nancy Pelosi in the head or, you know, the way teenagers talk.
01:37:26.000There's a couple of different groups here.
01:37:28.000To me, one of the enduring images of January 6th is going to be that line of men in matching green tactical outfits with their hands on each other's shoulders snaking their way through the disorganized mob.
01:37:39.000And that is effectively what we are facing online, and that you have a large number of people who are angry and aggrieved and who have been lied to by the right-wing news ecosystem as well as online influencers about the election and who want to show that anger.
01:37:54.000The right-wing echo chamber said the election was, they had been lied to, and the lie is that there was any problem whatsoever with the election.
01:38:59.000Oh, that small group of organized people to speak on behalf of everybody.
01:39:03.000That is one of the problems I think what we'll have around media coverage of this is that the three percenters, the proud boys, folks like that, they will be given an outsized influence and their messages will be amplified over and over again because their messages are extremely scary.
01:39:20.000Those groups need to be treated like ISIS, effectively, right?
01:39:22.000There's a history here of what's their dispute, both between law enforcement and the social media companies, of being able to reduce the online presence and the influence of those groups.
01:39:32.000And then we have to work on the broader disinformation problem to try to turn down the anger that you see from that huge percentage of Republicans who believe that the election was forced.
01:39:42.000Biden denialism is very real and widespread.
01:39:45.000So is riot denialism, with people claiming that it was an anti-fun, all these other crazy lies and stuff.
01:39:50.000Both of us from the same platforms and the same approach to the people.
01:39:53.000We stop getting great titles for this episode.
01:40:06.000Your opinions are just lies, and they're dangerous lies.
01:40:12.000The things you feel, the things you think right now in your head, they're called disinformation.
01:40:19.000And they're dangerous because you could spread them to someone else.
01:40:22.000So I, as someone smarter than you, am going to control how you communicate in order to make sure your crazy lies don't get out there and cause chaos.
01:40:34.000Like the 10 months of rioting that NT...
01:40:41.000So this is a CBC article 2-2 where they said, it's great that you've made the Proud Boys, neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, neo-Nazi groups.
01:40:57.000Despite zero examples of terrorism in Canada coming from terrorists, and plenty of examples of terrorism in Canada coming from, well, there's really two types of terrorists in Canada.
01:41:08.000There's French separatists that was the FLQ and is now La Muerte.
01:43:56.000People have to come into contact with them and curious to participate in hateful Islamophobic exchanges can wind up being radicalized because they don't encounter contrary views.
01:44:39.000Each has advocated extremist reactionary positions such as white nationalism, anti-immigration, and especially in later iterations, Nordicism, anti-Semitism, prohibition, right-wing populism, anti-communism, homophobia.
01:44:51.000What's the matter with anti-communism?
01:48:01.000Hey, Gavin, Ryan, a friend of mine on Facebook, lost her mother the other day, and she posted that it left a hole, W-H-O-L-E, in her heart.
01:48:08.000Is it wrong that I no longer feel bad for her?
01:48:11.000Please get back to me so I know whether or not to go to the funeral.
01:49:07.000COVID-cautious Democrats were more likely to vote by post from the comfort of their liberal elitist homes, wearing a mask and swabbing the pencil down with bleach when they'd finished.
01:49:18.000Advance in-person voting also explodes.
01:49:21.000Lines stretch for miles and Americans stretch for miles.
01:51:26.000Also, back in junior high, there were about seven minutes in a 24-hour day without a boner, which complicates matters when you're grappling a girl.
01:51:32.000Something up to this point you've been desperately trying to pull off.
01:51:35.000And then he ends it with, I once witnessed a bro permanently lose his vim and virility when he was soundly beaten by a woman's Olympic wrestling candidate.
01:51:43.000He never really recovered after that and basically just played video games 20 hours a day through college.
01:51:48.000Dad, don't let your daughters wrestle, please.
01:51:52.000You could have an aneurysm on a toilet.
01:55:38.000I am Jewish, and I've been reading a little about MTG and not totally convinced that she really said anything bona fide anti-Semitic that would really warrant a reaction.
01:55:46.000Now, this is why they brought up Proud Boys to Trump during the debates, because now, if he says anything good, he's responsible for some fuckface in Oklahoma that says $6 million wasn't enough.
01:55:58.000So I'm treading lightly here where I say I'm inclined to believe that MTG didn't say anything that bad.
01:56:06.000But, you know, we've combed through it.
01:56:09.000She said that some of these things could have been a false flag, which I'm not really, that's not really my world, the false flag world.
01:56:16.000But I'm told it doesn't mean that Sandy Hook didn't happen.
01:56:18.000It means that it was like some guy was paid to shoot them up and then some other guy was paid to take the fall and that kind of stuff.
01:56:51.000My opinion, though, is unless Omar or Talib get kicked off their assignments, Omar is on the Foreign Affairs Committee, you don't get to take one of ours down.
01:57:00.000MTG said some weird things, but nothing remotely close to what Linda Sarsur, Talib, and Omar have said.
01:57:08.000In addition, Biden brought in someone to his cabinet who defended suicide bombers and appointed as the intelligence liaison between the Pentagon and the White House a guy named Mar Batar, who is a Palestinian and led BDS groups and Students for Justice in Palestine,
01:57:27.000a group that basically just harasses anyone who has a Jewish last name on college campus.
01:57:33.000My opinion is unity and demand equality until they condemn the real threats.
01:57:37.000Groukpers still creep me out though, and I think many are actual anti-Semites.
01:57:41.000But MTG doesn't seem related to them like you're more than a friend.
01:57:44.000See, this is why I'm known as anti-Semitic, because the Jews I know are like Israeli and Orthodox, and when they say things like the stupid Israeli and Jewish news, I repeat it because that's how I think.
01:57:58.000And I'm talking about Horetz and these insane liberal fucking papers in Israel.
01:58:04.000When you read the papers in Israel, the left-wing papers in Israel, it sounds like David Duke.
01:58:09.000Like if it was up to Horetz, Horetz even said fighting Antifa is anti-Semitic because I guess there's Jews in Antifa.
02:01:52.000And so my theory is the guy in the top driveway is the guy who gets real mad.
02:01:57.000And I think when they say they put snow on his lawn, which is what all the news is saying, I think it just means that snowbank at the base.
02:02:04.000He didn't like that they had done that when they did the whole main road, which is a dumb thing to be mad about because that road had to be paved anyway.
02:02:24.000Motherfucker, you go fuck your shit, you fuck.
02:02:28.000Once again, we have a woman jumping in the mix, escalating the situation.
02:02:34.000And now he has to get out in front of it.
02:02:37.000In the two Proud Boy stabbings, November 4th and December 14th, November 4th, it was Bevlyn Beattie who jumped in there and said, oh, fuck no, you ain't stabbing nobody.
02:02:46.000And started grabbing at their knives and stuff.
02:09:15.000And then if he wants to fight, make sure he's there in front of you and doesn't have a gun on him.
02:09:19.000And then part two, the second you see him storm into his garage and come back with anything, if he storms in his garage and close the door, you go, all right, that's done.
02:09:27.000If he storms in his garage, he's tinkering out for something, he comes back, run, run.
02:09:33.000He probably would have gone to their house and started shooting in their house.
02:09:38.000He fatally shot himself inside the house as police arrived.
02:09:56.000It's like that thing in the lobby of your fag zone building where she still has the note up saying, as you can see, this is on local police paper.
02:11:02.000There was no we are coming for them then.
02:11:06.000Okay, so this is a fight in the hood I saw.
02:11:09.000And I just want to tell everyone, I know a lot of people in the hood in the south side of Chicago and Baltimore, a lot of gangbangers watch this show.
02:11:16.000Guys, when you're recording, like, look at that thing we just watched.
02:11:20.000We had another 15 seconds to try to comprehend what we just saw.
02:11:24.000Stop pausing the recording at the best part.
02:11:31.000It's the worst video that you get the most of.
