Would you be willing to fight for your freedom in a pandemic? What would you do if you had a 99.89% chance of surviving one, and you were stuck in a world where everyone else had a 98% chance at survival?
00:00:24.000Aye, speak out and you may be banned from YouTube.
00:00:28.000Be silent and you'll keep your channels, at least for a while, and working in your cubicle many years from now.
00:00:38.000Would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell the Fauci's, the Pfizer's, the Moderna's, that they may try and force the mandates, but they'll never take our freedom!
00:05:30.000In the last day specifically, you can follow Gerald at gmorganjr, don't know why he has a horrible handle, and Dave Landau at landaudave, but that's not your official introduction, everyone shut up.
00:05:39.000So, we have Sean King on the show today.
00:06:17.000What I always look to, and I want you guys to watch for, you know, I've always said this, where I don't want you guys to look to my arguments if I make them.
00:06:26.000I want you to learn how to create your own arguments.
00:06:29.000That's why we try and make all the references available at loudearthcrowder.com.
00:06:47.000That's why you see boys, they don't do well in grade school, they don't do well in high school, but they tend to blow women out of the water on the SATs, or do significantly better.
00:06:56.000And the reason for that is not that one is smarter or dumber as far as men and women, the reason for it is that men are now allowed to, with the SAT study, in a way that they effectively learn.
00:07:06.000Everyone learns a little bit differently.
00:07:30.000But ask yourself why one side is so furious, and ask yourself, is it consistent with when they've been outraged in the past?
00:07:38.000To me, what's more telling is not the purchase, is not the victory dance, is the left freaking out, melting down, losing their minds, and the why.
00:07:56.000And that he has said, well, he said he's going to get rid of spam bots, we should all be on board with, so no one's outraged about that, he's going to verify all humans, well, okay, no one should be mad about that, and he said he wants more transparency, no one should be mad about that, and that free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, of a free society, and he said that it will be more free.
00:08:17.000That's the only information we have available right now.
00:08:29.000The freak out, I would argue, is people are now expecting not different treatment, the exact same kind of treatment as everyone else.
00:08:36.000Because for a long time, there's been an imbalance of power.
00:08:39.000For reference, see every single Jack Dorsey interview, whether it's on Joe Rogan or look at the Priya, whatever, I can't pronounce her name, but probably not going to work there anymore, at Twitter with Tim Pool.
00:08:50.000The reaction and the why is what's most telling to me.
00:10:27.000Yeah, no, what scared me as a child was not so much the guns, but the tubes going down the suburban area and them walking in like spacemen and the dying alien.
00:10:35.000Yes, yeah, the government trying to kill a Reese's Pieces eating alien.
00:10:47.000Dressed as a girl, that'll trick everybody.
00:10:49.000Oh, I don't know if you know this, a funny fact, fast fact about E.T., if you look closely enough in that closet scene, you can see the coke under Drew Braymore's nose.
00:10:58.000She had a busy night the night before.
00:11:39.000I know social media very well as far as the algorithms and what's going on politically and I had to learn this, but I really, I'm a very Private person, personally.
00:12:46.000Before we get to, because that's the bulk of today, Elon Musk, Twitter, the reaction, Sean King, and the fallout, and there's more to it than just, hey, yay, oh, we're mad.
00:12:55.000The left is going to need to find some comfort somewhere, obviously, as they melt down.
00:14:00.000Does that mean members of the... And then they're saying here comes the boy and they show a girl who looks like Sid from Toy Story and then an overweight male and then that I mean, as someone who looks like the skinny version of the comic book guy from The Simpsons but in yoga pants, what is going on?
00:16:47.000I think that's an example of a broader question for Twitter, which is, if you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party?
00:17:02.000Or are you going to decide to stay home?
00:17:04.000And that's a question for Twitter users.
00:17:06.000Some Twitter users might love the idea that there's going to be absolutely no moderation and no rules at all.
00:17:11.000Others might not want to be anywhere near that.
00:17:58.000I haven't really spent that much time or effort into Twitter because, you know, I knew it was just, back then it was just sort of, you know, running in place.
00:18:22.000Now, for a long time, I've run ads on YouTube.
00:18:24.000And what I mean by that is literally just taking videos in a very low Dollar amount, but just so that we could continually kind of get access to more analytics.
00:18:32.000Run ads where we'll just run a video, you know, as a pre-roll video ad before other videos.
00:18:36.000And they were approved before they were disapproved, and then sometimes they were simultaneously disapproved and approved.
00:18:40.000But I've run ads, so I've been an advertiser.
00:19:25.000I've been an advertiser and an advertisee, I guess, for lack of a better term.
00:19:29.000As someone who runs a channel and we were being monetized, I would say, Hey, uh, is there a way to more effectively target ads?
00:19:36.000Because for example, on my channel, Seth Meyers is running as an ad or something for GLAAD is running as an ad.
00:19:43.000Could I have, I don't know, let's say companies like Walther or like Federal Ammunition or conservative companies, companies, or even athletic companies like under armor. Companies that would at least be inoffensive
00:19:56.000And they said, well, we can't really do that. And I said, well, why? They said,
00:19:58.000well, because advertisers don't want to advertise on your...
00:20:01.000Well, first off, we don't allow firearm companies. And we don't... Oh, so
00:20:03.000you've eliminated half of the pool. We don't allow them to advertise. And then the other
00:20:06.000advertisers don't want to advertise on your platform. That's not what advertisers want. And I said,
00:20:10.000hold on a second. You're talking to an advertiser.
00:20:13.000Because as an advertiser, I would also like to target content that is more relevant, so that my videos don't run on Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert.
00:20:20.000So they determine who gets to advertise, and then they determine where you get to advertise, and then say, well look, advertisers are afraid to run on this.
00:21:25.000Advertisers are not saying to YouTube, you better not allow Donald Trump, the most popular president, until Joe Biden, who's obviously the most popularist president, the mostest popular.
00:21:34.000We don't want the most popular president of all time anywhere on that platform.
00:23:53.000All right, so look, let me just read some quotes.
00:23:55.000Musk publicized one of his own previous interviews on Twitter, and I'll give you a montage of just the best meltdowns.
00:24:01.000So he wrote, Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is a digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.
00:24:09.000I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust.
00:24:15.000Defeating spam bots and authenticating all humans.
00:24:17.000Here's the thing, if I have a problem with what he just said, I'm not going to be stupid enough to just say, to transparency, to increase trust.
00:24:26.000I'll act like it sounds good, and then try and frame it in a way that maybe favors my point of view.
00:24:31.000The left, again, they're so used to Not fearing any kind of accountability that they don't even realize they should fake, like transparency to increase trust sounds like a good thing.
00:25:43.000By the way, I love how he says, like, Dr. Evil, as opposed to Jeff Bezos, who purchased the Washington Post and literally looks like a Bond villain.
00:27:07.000Free speech is wonderful, hate speech is unacceptable.
00:27:09.000By the way, one of the first change of minds I ever did when I didn't have a permit in Vermont was a sandwich board that hate speech is not real.
00:27:18.000Hate speech isn't a thing in the United States.
00:27:21.000Now if you look at countries where hate speech has been incorporated, and this is why when people say, why don't you just focus on policies, this is one of the most important issues.
00:27:29.000I will tell you this, the freedom of Americans to access information And I will say also, for me, the idea that gender doesn't exist, that male and female are fundamentally interchangeable, are the two most important issues.
00:28:53.000So disinformation, misinformation, hate speech have no place on Twitter.
00:28:56.000So they've now declared, right, just full stop, there's no place on Twitter for something that hasn't been defined, and by the way is an ever-moving target.
00:29:04.000This is what they don't want to go away.
00:29:07.000I want to be clear about what this is.
00:29:09.000It's not just, oh yeah, free speech, pet pay meme.
00:29:11.000No, look at what the left is saying, look at why they're upset, and look at how they're trying to frame it.
00:29:19.000That's where you will glean the most information.
00:29:20.000This is what the NAACP also said, do not allow 45 to return to the platform.
00:29:25.000Well now we have a partial definition.
00:29:28.000Oh, oh, the former president, the president of the United States, President Donald Trump, he is a hate speaker.
00:29:37.000The only president to go into office pro-gay marriage, ever, in the history of the United States.
00:29:41.000Did more for black Americans than the black Americans before him.
00:29:44.000He let Arsenio Hall win the Celebrity Apprentice, for God's sake.
00:30:01.000Look how much I must love black people.
00:30:05.000Do not allow 45 to return to the platform.
00:30:09.000Do not allow Twitter to become a petri dish for hate speech or falsehoods that subvert our democracy.
00:30:15.000Oh, got it, got it, that subvert our democracy.
00:30:17.000Do you mean like billions of dollars in damages, Black Lives Matter, who then used the money and ran off to buy multi-million dollar estates and non-profits that closed up shop and didn't really exist?
00:30:27.000You guys were all led astray by the grifters with Black Lives Matter, just to be clear.
00:30:31.000It was a bunch of frauds and then a bunch of white women saying, yeah, us too!
00:30:38.000Oh, you mean a couple hundred thousand people protesting at the Capitol with, let's say, a couple hundred people who only one was shot and it wasn't a cop, as opposed to the dozens of, well, the hundreds of casualties over the course of the summer of... Hey, how about this?
00:31:11.000Oh, you remove President Donald Trump for saying, hey, it's time to make your voices heard.
00:31:17.000Go and protest peacefully at the Capitol.
00:31:19.000What about the people who verifiably, hey, do you remove the guy on CNN, the reporter with gay face in front of the car ablaze saying, Mostly, mostly flameless.
00:31:31.000We can see the misinformation with our own eyes.
00:31:34.000The problem is, for the left, they've just been able to say, it doesn't matter what you see, it doesn't matter exactly what you're experiencing, it doesn't matter what the data says.
00:31:41.000We're going to lie to you, and we're going to remove the people who call us on our lies.
00:31:45.000That's what they're terrified of losing!
00:31:47.000How about the guys who said white supremacists guns people down in Kenosha?
00:31:51.000This isn't new by the way. Do you remember when the media, you may not remember this Dave because
00:31:55.000you weren't, I mean you weren't really conservative back then but the fairness, when people talk about
00:32:00.000the fairness doctrine I believe is what it was called.
00:32:03.000Liberals had ABC, they had all of television, right? They had FM radio, they had pretty much
00:32:09.000And then you have this guy named Rush Limbaugh who used an outdated, what was thought to be an archaic method, AM radio.
00:32:16.000And then, because it was an alternative, sort of like you saw with social media, you're seeing it happen all over again, they said, you know what, we're going to take over this medium and it became the most popular show on earth.
00:32:26.000The left said, we need to make sure that there is equal time on AM radio.
00:32:30.000Remember there was that Air America or Radio America with Janine Garofalo and Al Franken?
00:34:26.000Sean King, before deactivating his account, and he deactivated it and then he came back on, just to be clear.
00:34:31.000You're just admitting though, by all of this, in a day, that you've done nothing but take over social media, and now you're so upset that there's a small possibility it might not go your way.
00:34:52.000If you take this away we won't control the information!
00:34:54.000How are we going to lie to everybody if you lie?
00:34:57.000The problem is they were so used to being able to do it and no one being able to see it that they don't even realize now this is happening and people can see it.
00:35:05.000They're like, oh wait we're not supposed to say that part out loud?
00:35:08.000Someone at the NAACP should have proofread it and been like, yeah I don't know if you should tip your hand saying 45 shouldn't be allowed back and Elon Musk you need to affect the midterms.
00:35:17.000I think we should maybe couch it in like, I don't know, just say hate speech, it's broad enough.
00:35:50.000Which, by the way, everyone has had to do an about face on them.
00:35:52.000Before I get to shunking, that's an interesting point, to defund the police.
00:35:55.000You can't find common ground and say, I think police need better training.
00:35:58.000I think that police need to be paid for their time training because they're overworked.
00:36:03.000Part of their work needs to be time training.
00:36:04.000We've talked about submission methods so that they can de-escalate.
00:36:07.000We've talked about actually being physically fit so that they don't have to reach for their gun.
00:36:11.000But all of these solutions on which we would Perhaps Find Common Ground require more funding, not less.
00:36:17.000What do you think is going to happen when you defund the police?
00:36:19.000They're stressed, they're overworked, they're working longer hours, they don't have time to train, they're going in, they've got a vein popping out of their forehead like stressed Eric?
00:36:27.000Well, you end up with all the cities that have defunded the police.
00:36:31.000So, speaking of defunding the police, Sean King, before deactivating his Twitter account, he tweeted, At its root, Elon Musk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left versus right.
00:36:40.000That's how you know they're about to lie to you.
00:37:57.000Now this morning, looks like he's returned to Twitter, and he's already back to talking crap.
00:38:01.000He said, uh, when someone reported on the fact that his Twitter account had been removed, he said, You wish, motherfu- I didn't delete my account, you literally made that up!
00:38:11.000I was getting death threats and hack attempts from your buddies who stormed the Capitol and had to make it more secure!
00:38:17.000I'm right here, and you are a white supremacist!
00:38:20.000But here's the thing, he did deactivate his account and notified everyone, though.
00:43:19.000Yeah, he did say Gordon Bombay, so that... Well, it's knuckle puck time.
00:43:25.000Yeah, that's a little scary, because I don't know... I mean, I guess... Have you not seen impoverished black American youth in South Central LA playing rollerblade hockey on the basketball courts?
00:43:35.000Yeah, that's why it seems, you know, suspect.
00:44:16.000so Also, other reactions, we have Ari Melber from MSNBC, and this is really telling where he doesn't realize what he's saying, but he's saying it.
00:44:25.000Again, watch what the left... This is why we always use leftist sources, so if you check the references.
00:44:30.000And by the way, smash the like button if you guys use the references.
00:44:33.000Megyn Kelly uses the references, I didn't interview her.
00:44:35.000If you use them, if you appreciate that we provide them, otherwise we're just going to stop providing them.
00:44:39.000But we always use neutral or liberal sources because I'm far more interested in hearing what the opposing point of view.
00:45:10.000Or you could just secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else and the rest of us might not even find out about it until after the election.
00:45:19.000It's almost like he said this wasn't possible before.
00:45:21.000Elon Musk says this is all to help people because he is just a free speech Okay, let me be clear here just for a second.
00:45:33.000Just to be clear, the guy he's talking about, as though it's Donald Trump who now owns Twitter, is the guy who spearheaded the modern electric car, has done more for the green movement than any other human being alive right now, and by the way, the man who creates the car That your party told people to buy!
00:45:54.000So that's who he's talking about as the evil villain who's going to throttle the party.
00:45:57.000Meanwhile at the Twitter board, and if you look at people, not only at Twitter, not only at ABC, at NBC, CBS, MSNBC, you look at Netflix, you have actual members of the Clinton administration, the Obama cabinet!
00:47:18.000And to Rand Paul, well here's Jen Psaki when asked about the Twitter situation, giving
00:47:23.000a non-answer, but again, it's very telling.
00:47:26.000The president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms,
00:47:31.000the power they have over our everyday lives, has long argued that tech platforms must be
00:47:35.000held accountable for the harms they cause.
00:47:38.000He's been a strong supporter of fundamental reforms to achieve that goal, including reforms to Section 230, enacting antitrust reforms, requiring more transparency.
00:47:47.000And he's encouraged that there's bipartisan interest in Congress.
00:47:53.000In terms of what hypothetical policies might happen, I'm just not going to speak to that at this point.
00:47:58.000Okay, so let me just inform you a little bit, if you're not necessarily aware, Section 230 is what provides protections to a lot of these social media companies, because it treats them similar to a utility, right, where it's a digital sort of town square.
00:48:08.000So the idea is they're not held liable for anything that is said on their platform, as opposed to, say, the New York Times or Washington Post, who would be held liable if there's Any kind of defamation slander that's written there because they're a publisher.
00:48:22.000Now, we have talked about this for a long time and my solution has always been these social media platforms get a choice.
00:48:31.000Are you a platform or are you a publisher?
00:48:34.000If you are a platform, it's very simple, because a lot of people say, well, if you declare them all to be platforms and you hold them liable, then you'll get rid of message boards.
00:49:18.000Or, they can decide that they are a publisher.
00:49:20.000For example, if YouTube says this content is allowed, but this content is not.
00:49:24.000Or even if they say this content is allowed to be deemed monetizable, this content is not.
00:49:28.000Or if Twitter says this information is allowed, but this information is not.
00:49:32.000You are now a publisher like the New York Times or Washington Post.
00:49:34.000You just have to pick, and you get to pick.
00:49:37.000Now when she says reform to 230, and this is my problem when people say common ground, it's usually bullshit.
00:49:44.000And this comes as someone who's done changed my mind and who has had more civil discussions with leftists than arguably any other host that I know of here on conservative platforms.
00:49:55.000Because I try and match intensity and I try and give people the respect that I would, you know, hope I'd receive on their program.
00:50:01.000I still tell you that most common ground is bullshit because that's how we believe.
00:50:05.000We need to do something about this murder, right?
00:50:53.000Donald Trump, illegally stolen, leaked, Hunter Biden, story that was legitimately obtained, would have affected the outcome of the election every single swing state.
00:51:14.000Has the New York Times, the Washington Post, has CNN, has MSNBC, they then cover The Hunter Biden story and say, well, it seems like this is legitimate without saying, hey, we were wrong in supporting the removal of a story that would have directly affected the outcome of the election.
00:51:27.000Hey, that was they never have to apologize.
00:51:30.000That changed, you know, without even getting into mail-in voter errors, fraud, whatever you want to call it.
00:51:35.000We've covered that at length without even getting into that.
00:53:19.000In other words, when someone who is a former secretary of a president, one of the most corrupt ever, the Clinton family you could argue the most corrupt ever, you could argue, one could argue, not saying they killed multiple people, He had some of these takes.
00:53:34.000He said, anyone who is saying Twitter's ban violates the First Amendment doesn't know that Twitter is a private company and the First Amendment protects individuals against government.
00:54:29.000I cannot believe people are dumb enough to listen to this guy who can't even be consistent with his own opinions!
00:54:35.000Well, he's a professor at Berkeley, that's why.
00:54:36.000Well, that's always what they used to say, right?
00:54:38.000If you were to say, hey, look, I think we need to reform the Section 230 because these companies are very big and they enjoy, not only do they lobby the government, but there are former government officials who work here, there are people who donate 98% of their money, these are the most powerful companies in the world, entirely to the Democratic Party, and we just think that they need to be transparent and be beholden to the same rules as other companies that enjoy these benefits as public utilities.
00:54:55.000And they would say, it's a private platform!
00:54:56.000For the first time, they care about free enterprise.
00:55:00.000And now, immediately, they say, we gotta do 230!
00:55:03.000Well, we've been saying 230 for years, what do you want?
00:55:05.000The government to take control over everything?
00:57:32.000And by the way, Elon Musk, $50 billion ain't gonna mean all that much to him.
00:57:36.000So let's be clear, $50 billion to him is comparatively, maybe to you, what let's say, you know, the average salary for people who work in these tech companies is over $100,000 a year.
00:57:59.000For some reason, it's only expected of people once they have a certain... And by the way, if that's the crossover where they are required to do what you want in feeding the... What's the number?
00:58:10.000Because if you talk to kids in Somalia, you talk to kids in Uganda, guess what?
00:58:28.000This is the class warfare that they wage, and it's a brilliant way to constantly apply standards to other people that they never apply to themselves.
00:58:40.000We see it now with Elon Musk with his money.
00:58:42.000By the way, with the other billions, he was busy creating the only viable electric car that your folks told people to buy!
00:58:52.000Wasn't gonna work with the Prius, it was a glorified shopping cart with a battery, and every asshole who couldn't drive decided to have a secret meeting behind our backs and say that they would buy one!
00:59:03.000And by the way, just so you know, when Elon Musk was shamed for not sending six billion dollars to end world hunger, he replied, if you can prove that you can end world hunger for six billion dollars, I'll write the check.
00:59:27.000Well, the problem is, is we're going to throw relief rice out of a helicopter, but then all of the warlords confiscate it and still starve out their people.
00:59:34.000There's so many other third world problems that are just cause that hunger than just the inability to get food.
