In the wake of the Kanye West, Tim Pool, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Nick Fuentes controversy, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at what it means to be a conservative in the 21st century.
00:00:18.000Really glad to be with you here today.
00:00:20.000We have a lot to get to, and look, I want to be clear about something.
00:00:22.000It's not lost on me that there are going to be factions, no matter how we address some of these stories.
00:00:27.000We're not talking about the Elon Musk Apple thing, we're all on board with that.
00:00:31.000But obviously what happened yesterday with Kanye, Tim Pool, Milo, and Nick Fuentes.
00:00:38.000And I want to be clear about something.
00:00:39.000You probably have noticed I'm not in the business of really attacking other conservatives, even if I disagree with them.
00:00:45.000The point at which that changes, and I would love to hear from you before we get into this, for me, because I think we all have a litmus test, not a purity test, but we all do have a yardstick, is at a certain point when people who maybe claim to be conservatives are seeking to do nothing more than damage, particularly damage to the truth.
00:01:05.000And if there's one thing that I really, we really do our damnedest to try and seek here at the show, it's the truth.
00:01:11.000That's why we make all the references available.
00:01:13.000And before I get into what's happening here, kind of on the right, and some people who are disagreeing, and hopefully we'll cover it in a balanced way, I realized actually just driving in the car the other day, almost all my ideas come to me when I'm in the car.
00:01:25.000I don't know if you, do you have this?
00:01:26.000Listening to music, usually it's like, maybe it's sensory deprivation.
00:01:28.000I need to get one of those saltwater tanks.
00:01:32.000But I realize that my real problem with the left today, the progressive left, and I think a lot of you maybe have this problem, but we haven't been able to put a finer point on it.
00:01:41.000We can argue all we want about how many genders there are and the sort of the culture war, but it's a symptom of something pretty pervasive, pernicious, all the Ps.
00:01:54.000That the left today is quite literally, and I'm using the term literally, not figuratively, trying to reverse reality itself.
00:02:02.000It's almost this sort of inverted parallel universe look.
00:02:34.000So right away, that kind of goes out the window.
00:02:35.000But let's accept their premise for a second.
00:02:37.000We know that biology is innate, and certainly as a Christian, I think that many of you also would agree, even if you're just Christian sympathizers or theists, that values are instilled.
00:02:53.000But values, and you'll hear this a lot, you know, when I was on YouTube back in 2009, there were no conservatives, there really were no Christians.
00:02:58.000The common argument was, if I need a flying spaghetti monster to tell me not to kill, then I'm a horrible person.
00:03:04.000You're just a horrible person using God as a crutch.
00:03:31.000Oh, if I need a god to tell me not to have a child bride, I'm a horrible person.
00:03:34.000Well, plenty of places across the globe right now still have child brides.
00:03:39.000Monogamy isn't a thing in a lot of these countries.
00:03:41.000Theft is not punishable in the same way that it is here.
00:03:43.000When you go down the list of values, you have to realize inherently that they are not innate.
00:03:48.000So we know that biology is innate and values are instilled.
00:03:51.000The left wants you to believe the exact opposite.
00:03:55.000They want you to believe, and this is the argument that they're making, that biology is instilled, that gender, and really like we said sex, they're interchangeable now, are instilled.
00:04:08.000You're not born male or female, but they want you to believe that values are innate.
00:04:13.000I don't need a god to tell me to insert whatever it is here.
00:04:16.000So while we know that biology is innate and values are instilled, and if you don't accept that premise, you are doomed to a society that will crumble, because you will have a society that no longer instills values, because you take them for granted.
00:04:29.000And we have a society right now that wants us to believe that biology is instilled by some social construct, but that these values we take for granted, and we take for granted specifically because of the cumulative effect of these values being instilled into the citizens of our nation and the founders of our nation, they want you to believe that those are inherently innate, and there's no risk of those going away.
00:04:49.000If you do not stay like a dog on a bone in instilling values and reiterating them and strengthening them, On a generation-by-generation basis, you are doomed to fail.
00:05:01.000So it's not about trans, and the gender bender, or gay marriage, or even the, uh, whatever the company was, I f- Bella- Bella Siaga, I always forget the name.
00:05:10.000Some company no one cares about with bondage, kids, and commercials.
00:05:14.000Uh, it's not just about that, it's about the idea of society itself, and reality, and truth.
00:05:19.000There's a direct attack on truth taking place right now, and I think that's why people are getting so aggravated, and they're not always able to communicate it.
00:05:38.000So please understand that as we examine this conversation, it is through the lens of seeking truth, and not to denigrate any one individual, but I do think that we're at a turning point here.
00:05:48.000We've been making some great strides, and we just can't give over the territory that's been hard fought.
00:05:55.000And right now, through the end of the year, all of you, it is a battle of inches.
00:06:00.000That's why you have to fight like hell.
00:06:02.000And we are closing out our Rebels With a Cause Tour, which has been fighting like hell just to not be removed from venues, Baltimore, December 3rd.
00:10:43.000Okay, so this is going to be one of those shows.
00:10:45.000Look, just please let us provide you with all of the context that we can before you get mad or, you know, some people I know there will be this reflexive reaction of, oh that person, I like this person, and I have to be careful here because I've had interactions with a lot of people who are involved with these stories.
00:11:03.000You know that I know Tim Poole's a friend.
00:11:05.000You know, I've had interactions with Milo Yiannopoulos quite a bit.
00:11:08.000I haven't had any interactions with Nick Fuentes.
00:11:50.000Well, you have two companies who control 95% of the information allowed on the App Store.
00:11:54.000And you have five companies who control virtually all of the exchange of information online, trying to eliminate the one person, the one person who's decided that they aren't going to go along with it with Elon Musk.
00:12:06.000And you have these dog whistles from the White House saying, yeah, yeah, more of that.
00:12:09.000Let's eliminate these people because they are dangerous.
00:12:12.000And I think Jordan Peterson has talked about this.
00:12:56.000That's a perfect intro for today's show.
00:12:58.000I was thinking, yeah, that's the greatest voice I could have done.
00:13:01.000And just for people who don't know, we're running all of the Loud Earth Crowded Bible Stories, I think there's six or seven, because we realize that sometimes you miss them, so you get to see them chronologically, all the way up to the rapture.
00:13:11.000You know him, you love him, Fastest Man on his feet, our last show this year.
00:15:55.000However, if your job is to be a cheerleader, if your job includes athletic endeavors, It would seem to reason that it would help to be athletic.
00:16:06.000So this is one of the, what are they called, rangerettes?
00:17:11.000The Rockettes in ten years just gonna be throwing knees.
00:17:14.000Somebody out there, like, will they kick high?
00:17:16.000There's only six of them on the whole stage.
00:17:18.000Like, we'd like to have more, we just can't.
00:17:20.000Like, if this was just someone doing kick work at the gym, you wouldn't say a word.
00:17:24.000When it's your job to throw an impressive kick as part of the grand finale in the parade, you should probably be able to maintain your wind long enough.
00:20:54.000Kanye West appeared alongside Tim Pool with his, I guess, people who are working on his campaign, or advisors, right?
00:20:59.000This was the dinner that had taken place at Mar-a-Lago.
00:21:02.000I don't really know if it was a dinner so much as a brief snack.
00:21:05.000And there are a lot of questions surrounding it.
00:21:07.000We didn't talk about it yesterday because we didn't have the answers.
00:21:09.000I was hoping we would get some answers here on Tim Pool's show.
00:21:11.000Instead, Kanye West Abruptly left, walked off the show when the discussion veered into his views on Jewish people and whether or not it was anti-Semitic.
00:21:22.000Here's a clip for those who missed it.
00:21:26.000That's what, because every time I'm just holding stride and it's like, I didn't, I thought I was more Malcolm X, but I find out I'm more MLK because as I'm getting hosed down every day by the press and financially, I'm just standing there.
00:21:39.000And when, when I found out that they tried to put me in jail, it was like a dog was biting my arm.
00:21:46.000And I, I almost shed a tear almost, but I still walked in stride through it.
00:21:52.000I think they've been extremely unfair to you.
00:23:56.000He has been wronged, we'll get into, he was medicated, he was institutionalized, he's been threatened, he was wronged.
00:24:02.000And I do think that he has valid reasons to be upset.
00:24:05.000Uh, and I think what people are missing now, people saying, oh, he should be able to say, sure, he should be able to say whatever he wants.
00:24:12.000And I don't necessarily know which portions, well, I shouldn't say I don't know.
00:24:16.000Every portion that I've heard, I can tell you which part is anti-Semitic or which part isn't.
00:24:20.000Uh, I don't know all of the comments that he's made.
00:24:31.000He's being wronged by a new set of people who are taking advantage of him, trying to say, look, look, look, look how wrong you've been in the past.
00:24:37.000It just happens the people who are wronging him now, they're not Jewish.
00:24:41.000And I don't, by the way, just to be clear, I am not someone who is against speaking in generalizations.
00:24:46.000What I am against is speaking in unspecified, unsubstantiated generalizations.
00:24:51.000For example, if I were to say, hey, 80-something percent of divorces in this country are initiated by women.
00:24:58.000If I were to say, hey, as a voting bloc, American Jews tend to vote pretty liberal, which would seem to go against their self-interest in a lot of ways, considering people who are practicing Jews and their values.
00:25:10.000That's a statistic you can talk about.
00:25:12.000To say, hey, all Jews are X, that's now a generalization that's unsubstantiated.
00:25:17.000So just to be clear, I'm not someone who doesn't believe that generalizations play their role and that they are useful.
00:25:21.000Sometimes people say it's all about the individual.
00:25:23.000It's not only always about the individual.
00:27:05.000Look, so Tim addressed the point that you made just a second ago at the outset, because Kanye said, when we were backstage, you said I would, or backstage in the green room, whatever, you said that I would be, I would do well with the black vote.
00:27:14.000And Tim clarified, and he's like, yeah, I think you would resonate kind of with an everyman.
00:27:17.000He goes, but you're looking at the black vote as a they.
00:27:19.000And he goes, no, what I'm saying is historically, the black vote has tended to go one direction, and I think you would do well with that category.
00:27:26.000I try not to get into generalizations of they.
00:27:29.000So they had already talked about this before.
00:27:31.000And I don't think that's the most articulate way to put it.
00:27:33.000I don't want to be in generalizations, but I made a generalization.
00:27:35.000What you need to say is there are substantiated generalizations that you need to make for the sake of brevity, and then there are gross generalizations that may be wholly inaccurate.
00:27:45.000And that's where a conversation needs to be had about your generalization to examine whether it's accurate.
00:27:49.000Yeah, I mean, I can definitely see certain things as a misstep like that, but I think really being in that situation, you have Ye in there, and he's got the same issues that, you know, you do, which is he does- Ye.
00:28:20.000He can't just hand a mic to somebody and be like, say whatever you want to, because we do know that right now, wherever Kanye's mental state is, he's going to go off on something that can get Tim deplatformed.
00:28:31.000I mean, there's a lot of working elements.
00:28:33.000So for anybody to go at Tim about it doesn't make any sense to me.
00:28:36.000I think, and I agree with you, my only slight difference of opinion is if you're worried about being deplatformed by hosting that person, then don't host that person.
00:28:44.000For example, we've had Alex Jones on many times immediately after he was deplatformed.
00:28:46.000It was a risk we were willing to take.
00:28:48.000One time we got removed for it, another time we didn't.
00:28:51.000No, I don't think he hates Jewish people.
00:28:52.000I think he's been wronged, and I think that he's aiming sometimes a howitzer.
00:29:38.000But then when you get to, it's because they're Jewish and all... Well, now we have a problem not because it's offensive, but because it's inaccurate.
00:30:05.000I'm going to help you one of a couple ways.
00:30:07.000First, you and I sit down and have a loving and open conversation, but you don't use cuss words and everything that is discussed is based in fact and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you or you saw in a tweet.
00:30:16.000Second option, I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you and you go back to zombie land forever.
00:30:24.000Play date with kids just won't be the same.
00:30:26.000Okay, let me be really clear about something.
00:30:27.000That's the level of evil that warrants a face-to-face ass-kicking.
00:30:34.000Invoking the guy's children, and by the way, a lot of people, it's a very common fear of being locked up, of being institutionalized against your will.
00:30:40.000That is cruelty, and keep in mind, this is someone who has been hospitalized, allegedly against his will, and that does, look, people use the term triggered or PTSD, being locked up against your will and drugged out of your mind, that'll do it.
00:31:19.000But he did experiment on Canadian soldiers, and this does seem to be a man who is capable of cruelty and issued cruel threats, and this is someone who was probably mentally abusing Kanye West for a very significant amount of time.
00:31:30.000Here is this man talking about the experiments in an interview.
00:31:35.000So, working for the military, I wasn't governed by the same laws that the typical person was, so I could look at the impact of certain drugs that are not everyday things.
00:32:04.000So this is a douchebag who's familiar with pharmacology, who has used it to experiment on soldiers, and is threatening to use it against Kanye West, against his will.
00:32:13.000He's also helped people like Mac Miller, Ellen Page, before she was Elliott.
00:32:55.000So here's the thing, Kanye West was wronged, he was used.
00:32:58.000Here's the thing, he's being used now.
00:33:01.000So there are a couple different theories as to what's been going on, and this is just, some of this is going to be speculation.
00:33:05.000Hopefully I can present a case to you as to why.
00:33:09.000So remember, this is what happened, you know, it was last week, there was Kanye West, he brought Nick Fuentes, Nicholas Fuentes, Milo Yiannopoulos to Mar-a-Lago for a dinner with Donald Trump.
00:33:22.000By the way, hit the like button, hit share because this is something that is being memory hold on YouTube and we'll talk about Ashley and Elon Musk.
00:33:27.000It's probably going to be a little bit longer of a show today just to let you know.
00:34:26.000i lost everything helping put trump in office my life and career were
00:34:29.000completely destroyed was it worth it no i feel other utterly betrayed
00:34:33.000i will have vengeance i'm dedicating the rest of my life to the destruction of
00:34:37.000the republican party burn the republican party to the effing ground
00:34:41.000jeez that seems pretty clear motivation so my question is then okay
00:34:46.000kanye west did he know or did he not know But I think it would be pretty clear as to Milo Yiannopoulos' motives goading to Mar-a-Lago and goading Kanye West at this point.
00:34:56.000Kanye West is being, I believe, used as a pawn again and you guys shouldn't be championing it because he says a couple of things that you like.
00:35:27.000So for the same reasons that we liked him, where we said it was pretty clear that he said, I'm not talking about white supremacists who should be disavowed totally.
00:35:43.000Because if that's not you, if you like that Donald Trump disavowed white supremacy while saying there were fine people on both sides who supported at least recognizing our heritage with monuments that might have been a part of the Confederacy, and that there were liberals on the other side who had an argument to take them down, if you like the fact that Donald Trump actually I guess actually message to both portions of the voting constituency while condemning white supremacy.
00:36:06.000If you like that, well then you can't be in alignment with these guys.
00:36:09.000Well, and their whole intention, it seems like you said, was just to be a disruptor, to go in.
00:36:58.000It's almost like all of this is stupid.
00:37:00.000If yay wants to be an effective president, he also has to do better than that.
00:37:04.000Just to be clear, I've had interactions with Milo, with Tim Pool, I haven't had any interactions with Nick Fuentes, but here is something that I will say.
00:37:14.000I think that the internet is a better place, the world is a better place for someone like Ben Shapiro being out there than not being out there.
00:37:28.000When there are people, though, in the movement whose only goal is to destroy, with no intent of building, That's where you say, okay, this is a bad actor.
00:37:38.000That's where you say the term grifter.
00:37:40.000That's where you say, this is a charlatan.
00:37:42.000So the only interaction that I have ever had with Nick Fuentes was we did a show at, Gerald was there at Texas A&M.
00:37:48.000And at this point, I guess he was organizing a group called The Groipers.
00:37:51.000And their whole thing was going after anyone who they saw as cucked, you know, like Donald Trump, disavowing white supremacy.
00:37:57.000And so we, you know, have our tentacles in every group on Facebook and we kind of keep tabs on people.
00:38:01.000And so we know that they were planning on coming and storming the Q&A session, you know, kind of loading it up.
00:38:08.000Because I'm an open borders cuck, if you know anything about me.
00:38:12.000So what did happen, and this is my only interaction with, I guess, the followers of Nick Fuentes, was you were there actually organizing with Q&A.
00:38:19.000When we used to do Q&A, we'd say everyone who has a sort of a confrontational question, adversarial, go on this side, and then anyone who's a fan, this is the line, and we would go one-on-one.
00:38:29.000Yeah, one-on-one so that no one just dominates the conversation.
00:38:32.000And we knew because they sort of had like a hierarchy with I guess the Gropers, who was going to go first and then follow up questions.
00:38:39.000And I think we actually have an overlay here from Texas A&M.
00:38:42.000Yeah, that was one of the gentlemen there with the cross.
00:38:44.000I was standing right behind him and the minute that somebody, and I'm not afraid of a cross obviously as a Christian, it's not a problem, but the minute somebody holds it up like this and is like going to the crowd like this, I'm like, OK, something's a little weird.
00:41:18.000Yes, and it has been reiterated many times.
00:41:20.000Even if you like some of the things that Kanye has said, and I get it, conservatives, unfortunately, there's this culture of celebrity worship because you're looking for some transcendent political figure or some cultural figure to save you, and this is a problem.
00:41:31.000Look, this is a problem with our movement.
00:41:32.000And this is a problem with a lot of backroom deals that take place and a lot of these conservative entities that exist.
00:44:17.000The people you said in this movement, there's a lot of people that quote-unquote are in this movement.
00:44:22.000I wouldn't associate a lot of people with what we are trying to do necessarily, what the conservative movement is or the Republican Party is trying to do, that say they are a part of the movement.
00:44:31.000So I hope he distances himself from stuff like that.
00:44:34.000And I hope Donald Trump does a better job of screening next time and making sure he understands who he's keeping company with.
00:44:39.000Well, what ends up happening, too, is this ends up sort of commandeering the fight that we all have, you know, as far as preserving free speech and Elon Musk and the things that matter when this isn't necessarily what this is about.
00:44:49.000This is about people who are maybe exploiting someone, people who are maybe being dishonest.
00:44:52.000That's not the same thing as speaking freely.
00:44:54.000And by the way, I think that Kanye should be allowed to speak freely.
00:44:56.000He should be allowed to dismiss his ideas.
00:45:00.000But don't confuse Dismissing or disagreeing with an idea that has been spoken freely with a lack of free speech.
00:45:07.000And I think you have some people on the right who think that if someone says something controversial and you say, well, you know, I don't agree with that.
00:45:13.000You must be working for the establishment to silence them.
00:46:27.000So, this is something, we've talked about this in the past, there's a little bit of remedial, but it's because I really want to drive this point home and there are some new developments.
00:46:35.000We all know, okay, Elon Musk, Twitter.
00:46:39.000Elon Musk now has control over Twitter.
00:46:41.000You look at the list of billionaires, there's one exception here as far as their, I wouldn't even say political affiliation, but I guess their way of viewing the world.
00:46:50.000It's dogmatic for everyone else, and the top 1.1, the top 1% of the 1% of the 1% of the 1%, I don't know, I'm not necessarily a math guy.
00:47:07.000We have this administration, this White House, targeting Elon Musk, calling to action all of the other powerful billionaire tech oligarchs to silence him, and this comes on the heels of some news regarding Apple and what they're doing with Elon.
00:47:21.000But here is Jean-Pierre being asked about Elon Musk and Twitter and I saw this last night.
00:47:29.000It is chilling if you understand what is being said.
00:47:32.000There's a researcher at Stanford who says that this is a critical moment, really, in terms of ensuring that Twitter does not become a vector for misinformation.
00:47:43.000I mean, are you concerned about, you know, Elon Musk says there's more and more subscribers coming online.
00:49:11.000So that they are protected from liability as opposed to a publisher.
00:49:13.000They want it both ways, and she uses this broad term, misinformation, who determines misinformation, then hate, and then circles that into inciting violence.
00:49:22.000And I just heard someone on CNN yesterday!
00:49:24.000Use this lazy argument, well, you know, freedom of speech, you're never actually free to say what you want.
00:49:29.000You can't yell fire in a crowded theater.
00:51:19.000You know, we have always been very clear and that when it comes to social media platforms, it is their responsibility to make sure that when it comes to misinformation, when we, when it comes to the hate that we're seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action.
00:51:33.000Okay, I'd love to see your comments below.
00:51:41.000For a while it was the CDC, it was the WHO, which is ironic because the WHO determined what would be classified as misinformation while they were actively hating Taiwan by denying its existence.
00:51:53.000Well, the WHO said that the CDC was spreading misinformation at one point because they disagreed.
00:51:59.000And by the way, they were both probably right.
00:52:48.000So by the way, thanks to the October report by The Intercept, we also know that the DHS, the FBI, are actively colluding with Big Tech.
00:52:55.000Remember a long time ago, it was Jen Psaki saying, we hope that Spotify, and then insert, you know, how they wanted to censor Rogan here, we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt that they're colluding with Big Tech.
00:53:04.000This is the thing, at one point in time, the government determined winners and losers, and it was the enforcing arm Was big business sort of in the Industrial Revolution, that's where power was consolidated as we sort of transformed from a largely agriculturally based society.
00:53:19.000We now have a flip where really it is a few businesses that control 90% of your life and the enforcing arm is the government.
00:53:29.000They are doing the bidding for these big tech platforms.
00:53:31.000Those are the organizations that wield more power than any government on earth.
00:53:36.000And our government is in their pocket.
00:53:38.000Hit the like button if you have a problem with this because while we're talking about this right now, the algorithms want to tell you that we are dead on YouTube.
00:55:30.000The administration right now, and by the way, there are cronies of course in big tech, they are terrified, as it relates to Elon Musk, of one person they cannot control.
00:55:40.000They have been so in control of the narrative for so long with, I mean completely unfettered, That the mere notion of Elon Musk allowing people from both the left and the right, we're not talking about Elon Musk removing people from the left.
00:55:55.000In other words, you have all those other platforms that the left is allowed and people on the right are throttled or they are banned.
00:56:02.000You can go back and watch, I don't know, pick a week, any week, whether we're banned from Facebook that week, used to be Twitter, certainly YouTube, we know this.
00:56:10.000All Elon Musk is saying is allow both sides.
00:56:13.000to have a seat at the table. So what happens? You just heard that from the White House. You just
00:56:17.000heard that from Jean-Pierre. I thought Jean-Pierre was on CNN out of the corner of my eye, but it's
00:56:20.000not. It's just a guy. Soccer player. It's just the corner of my eye. It's not that everyone with the
00:56:24.000hair looks... It's just that I saw that and I said, oh, Jean-Pierre is speaking right now. No,
00:56:28.000it turns out it's a gay soccer player. Okay. So yes.
01:00:42.000You don't, when you don't have access to information, when you don't have access to opinions, when you don't have access to educational resources.
01:00:50.000And that's when you realize that this is no longer a government for the people by the people, because they seek to benefit companies like Apple.
01:01:42.000Let me ask you, especially if something like Parlor is removed from the App Store, God forbid they try and do something like that with a place like Rumble, okay?
01:01:50.000If those people decide in unison, And in tandem, they say, hey, you know what?
01:02:06.000It's that these people all work together, and right now you are seeing them work together in real time to try and eliminate their one competitor, Elon Musk.
01:02:17.000And if you don't believe me, here's Steve Jobs' wife, who, by the way, very fetching.
01:02:20.000He did well for himself, despite being a dick.
01:02:23.000Lauren Powell Jobs talking about the cultural narrative.
01:02:26.000It was pretty obvious to me that we could build, you know, we build out in a very cross-disciplinary way our work, you know, capital investing and policy and philanthropy, and we could do this work forever and ever, and we could have the narrative So she can do it forever.
01:03:44.000If you can create narratives, I thought your job was to build phones and like computers that are somewhat see-through that kind of look like a messenger bag.
01:05:36.000These companies, while we also talk about this, the great wealth transfer, you know Bernie Sanders, who by the way gets the support of a lot of these people in big tech, they want you to hate each other the top 1%.
01:05:45.000A lot of business owners, small business owners, they're in that top 1%.
01:05:49.000When you're talking about this top marginal tax rate, joint household income, $400,000 according to this administration, which just so happens to be the exact salary of the White House.
01:05:56.000On the flip side, let's talk about the wealth transfer from the middle class, because some old school conservatives in the baby boom generation maybe aren't aware of what has been happening right now.
01:06:06.000There's been a robbing of the middle class and upper middle class and I would even say upper upper middle class everyone from the lower middle class to making low to mid six figures.
01:06:16.000That money is being transferred to five people five billionaires the top five billionaires during the pandemic.
01:06:23.000saw their wealth grow by a total of 101 billion dollars.
01:07:44.000You have Comcast, NBCUniversal, you have Viacom, you have CBS, which is CBS Paramount, gosh I'm trying to remember, you have ABC, Disney, then you have AT&T and you have News Corp.
01:07:58.000NBCUniversal, ABC Disney, CBS Viacom, AT&T, News Corp.
01:08:05.000And hey, we all know that these people will de-platform one per- so what you get to say is, look, advertisers are pulling off of these platforms because it's six companies who decide to work with you because then you give them favorable advertising, uh, splits.
01:08:16.000You give them fa- you just, you favor them as it relates to advertising peer.
01:08:19.000We've seen this on YouTube, for example.
01:08:22.000What no one really told you is that Vox was working with NBC and Vox was producing a show, co-producing a show with YouTube, who then decided that we were going to be demonetized because Vox wanted us to be demonetized.
01:08:34.000They control the advertising dollars, they control the app store, and this administration has made it clear that they are going to wield that power.
01:09:08.000You guys all understand that culture is more important than politics, but you spend so much time in something that bears little significance as it relates to the fundamental changing, a new weaving of the tapestry of our society.
01:12:37.000Because you have half the country, less than half, and then you have this half of the country.
01:12:41.000So, if a portion of advertisers are pulling because they don't like that there are, I wouldn't even say conservatives, but they don't like that the platform is open and more free.
01:12:51.000How is there not another class of advertisers who would want to step in?
01:12:54.000This is the conversation that we had with YouTube, right?
01:12:56.000Where I said, hey look, you guys say that no advertisers want to be associated with my channel, which is basic bitch pumpkin spice conservatism, let's be honest.
01:13:29.000They bar these advertisers, or they have a meeting behind the scenes saying, hey, don't you advertise on Twitter, don't you support this Elon Musk, this Elon Musk competitor right now, or you might lose, you might lose some of your tax-exempt statuses or protections, and they say, okay, we're not going, and then they go out and say, look, look, the mainstream view is that Twitter needs to censor more, just look at the advertisers.
01:13:54.000And unfortunately, conservatives have failed you in a multitude of ways, because while the left is looking at critical mass, and let me leave you with this, because there is a real silver lining here.
01:14:03.000The left is trying to achieve critical mass.
01:14:05.000Facebook, I don't know how many billions of users, requires critical mass to work.
01:14:51.000And we have Mug Club, where you can go and support us so that we're able to do both.
01:14:54.000We're able to give something to you so you get your money's worth, but we do not remove ourselves from these platforms and concede that territory.
01:15:01.000That's why I'm excited about a place like Rumble.
01:15:03.000Rumble is an open platform, and they also have a, I think they have their like pay service thing that's similar to like a Mug Club thing.
01:15:10.000But Rumble is saying, hey look, we are just going to be what a lot of people claim that they want on YouTube.
01:15:14.000We are not going to censor you unless you are doing something against the law.
01:15:17.000And on election night, in the midterms, after we were suspended, no one even came close.
01:15:23.000We are at a point right now, an inflection point, where if the people on the right, the powers that be, the people with all the money, the billionaires on the right, if they see the inflection point right now, oh wait a second, We have enough people where we can hit critical mass.
01:15:37.000We don't have to fight billions of users, hundreds of millions of users with trying to monetize a few hundred thousand by renting out just a mailing list.
01:16:00.000I know that a lot of you out there are willing to do it with us, and I'm glad that someone like Elon Musk, for all of his potential flaws, is willing to do that as well.
01:16:35.000Let's, you know what, YouTube, thank you, remember, we don't have time to do the rail update, it's a bunch of corru- Okay, here, look, spoiler alert, this was going to happen before the election, when you're talking about the railway workers, and Biden, just like he said with OPEC and releasing the barrels, he said, hey, railway workers, can you just hold it off until after the election so that I can win?
01:16:50.000And I said, okay, and now, sure enough, they're striking, because they want more free shit.
01:16:54.000There you go, you can check the references at loudearthcreditor.com, there doesn't need to be much more to the story than that.
