America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - TWITTER WAR IMMINENT? Elon Musk DECAPITATES Twitter Leadership, FREEZES Mod Tools | AF Ep. 1090

00:00:22.000 America first!

00:00:25.000 America first!

00:02:04.000 Good evening everybody.

00:02:05.000 You're watching America First.

00:02:07.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:02:09.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:02:11.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Monday.

00:02:15.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:02:17.000 Lots to get into.

00:02:18.000 I apologize it's so late.

00:02:20.000 I'm, you know, that's my fault.

00:02:23.000 So I'm mean.

00:02:24.000 But we're gonna get this show on the road one of these days, you know.

00:02:28.000 Maybe tomorrow.

00:02:29.000 Tomorrow is November 1st.

00:02:31.000 First day of the month.

00:02:33.000 First day of a second chance.

00:02:35.000 2-2-22.

00:02:36.000 Alright, but we're gonna get into the show.

00:02:38.000 I do apologize though.

00:02:39.000 I'm looking at the time, I'm like, the time just keeps getting later.

00:02:43.000 That's why you gotta just start it eventually.

00:02:48.000 But we did.

00:02:49.000 So our featured story tonight, we're talking about Twitter.

00:02:53.000 Is that our featured?

00:02:55.000 Featured story tonight is about Twitter.com.

00:02:57.000 Major developments happening at the website since Elon Musk took over last week, which we celebrated.

00:03:04.000 And it's kind of a mixed bag.

00:03:07.000 Some good things, some bad things.

00:03:11.000 Although, the message of the show tonight is that we're gonna have to reserve judgment.

00:03:17.000 And I don't say that as a cope.

00:03:19.000 Some are gonna say, oh you're coping.

00:03:21.000 I'm not because it could be good.

00:03:23.000 It could be bad.

00:03:24.000 We just don't know yet.

00:03:26.000 He took over the company on Thursday.

00:03:28.000 It's Monday.

00:03:29.000 This is a company with a 30 billion dollar market cap and thousands of employees.

00:03:35.000 It doesn't change in three days.

00:03:37.000 And there are some reasons to be optimistic.

00:03:39.000 There are some reasons to be pessimistic.

00:03:42.000 Either way, no changes have actually even been made.

00:03:45.000 So we can't judge what the new trajectory of the company will be until we start to see the changes, which will not happen for some time.

00:03:55.000 I would say I'll give it until the end of this year.

00:03:59.000 Before I'll say we have a good idea of Where things are gonna go and even then I think that's early, but I would give it a couple months To to let it without judgment.

00:04:11.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:04:12.000 I'll give it a couple months to with to withhold judgment reserve judgment and if it's still bad by January then we're in trouble and

00:04:22.000 So a few of those developments include he dismissed the entire board today We covered on I think it was Thursday that he fired all of the top brass he fired the CEO the CFO the head of the trust and safety team and I think one additional person as well his name I forget and Then today he fired everybody on the board.

00:04:44.000 So now he remains the sole board member and Parag is

00:04:48.000 What's his name?

00:04:49.000 Parag... I don't know what's in here.

00:04:52.000 Whatever.

00:04:53.000 Parag Gupta.

00:04:54.000 Okay.

00:04:56.000 The CEO, he was let go on Thursday, but he remained on the board until today.

00:05:00.000 So they were all dismissed.

00:05:01.000 So he's now the CEO and the sole board member.

00:05:05.000 He's the dictator of Twitter.

00:05:07.000 That's a good development.

00:05:09.000 The other development is he froze all the moderation tools of all of the people that manually suspend users.

00:05:19.000 They're still AI, they still have their contractors, but the moderation team in San Francisco, I think it is, all their tools have been taken from them.

00:05:29.000 That's another good sign.

00:05:32.000 On the contrary, there was the largest ban wave since January 6th on Twitter over the weekend which they banned almost everybody, like every Groyper remaining. 1.00

00:05:42.000 They got them all.

00:05:44.000 They got Brandt, they got Paul from CancelProof, they got LavrovGroyper, they got everybody.

00:05:51.000 People that have been around forever.

00:05:53.000 They got Spinachbrah, they got TikTokGroyper, they got nearly everybody. 0.54

00:06:01.000 It was comparable to January 6th.

00:06:05.000 I can recall a few major ban waves and there was a ban wave last December.

00:06:10.000 Those were the big ones.

00:06:11.000 This is like one of the all-time biggest ban waves.

00:06:14.000 This is probably maybe the third biggest ban wave I've ever seen.

00:06:19.000 So that's bad news.

00:06:21.000 And the other bad news is that Elon said that he is going to appoint a council

00:06:26.000 Which will be entrusted with enforcement of community guidelines, which will be made up of a diverse group, which means Jews. 0.99

00:06:33.000 Which means there's going to be Jews on there who kill Jesus. 1.00

00:06:36.000 There's going to be some Jews on there who have the blood of Christ on their hands and who hate the goyim, think we're animals. 1.00

00:06:42.000 That's what diverse means. 0.98

00:06:44.000 Some dreidel spinning, goyim hating, Christ killing. 1.00

00:06:47.000 And he said that he's not going to reverse any permanent suspensions until that board is convened.

00:06:56.000 So we're not getting our accounts back anytime soon and it depends on what the hell this board is gonna be.

00:07:03.000 Because if it looks like all the other boards and all the other companies in all the world, you know, fat chance it's gonna be freaking World Jewish Congress times a billion, you know, times six million.

00:07:15.000 The six millionth World Jewish Congress convening at Twitter headquarters.

00:07:19.000 So we'll talk about all that.

00:07:20.000 We'll also be talking tonight about a really big important report from The Intercept.

00:07:26.000 Which shows new leaked documents from the Department of Homeland Security, which show that the government is intimately involved in censorship.

00:07:36.000 And we talked about this, I want to say, one or two months ago.

00:07:39.000 It was the Missouri Attorney General who uncovered some documents in a lawsuit, and that showed this very big exposure between social media and various factions within the administration.

00:07:56.000 You had Facebook having weekly meetings with the press office, with the Department of Defense, with the Department of Homeland Security, with the Pentagon, with all the national security brass, the FBI.

00:08:13.000 And we knew about that a couple months ago.

00:08:15.000 Well, it's even broader than we previously thought.

00:08:18.000 This particular report is about the DHS, Department of Homeland Security.

00:08:23.000 They shut off your Facebook, they shut off your Tesla, whatever.

00:08:28.000 They just start shutting stuff off, pulling plugs, like Ant-Man or Grey Matter from Ben 10.

00:08:33.000 You know, they jump in the robot, they just start pulling plugs.

00:08:37.000 And I think a lot of people on the left thought that that was fantastical, that that doesn't happen.

00:08:44.000 Well, according to this report, that is literally what they do.

00:08:49.000 DHS goes to facebook.com slash something something something, it's in here, and they log in, and then they delete content.

00:08:56.000 The government deletes content on Facebook.

00:09:00.000 Unilaterally.

00:09:02.000 And it talks about how they put in 5,000 takedown requests for content recently and a third of them were agreed to

00:09:14.000 We're good to go.

00:09:34.000 Race, the war in Afghanistan, and particularly the withdrawal, the war in Ukraine, COVID, vaccines, elections, like literally everything.

00:09:44.000 All the news of the last three years is a critical topic that is vulnerable to misinformation.

00:09:52.000 The DHS will not regulate.

00:09:54.000 That's the news.

00:09:56.000 So we'll get into that report.

00:09:58.000 Should be a pretty good show.

00:09:59.000 Before we get into all that, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live.

00:10:06.000 Smash the follow button.

00:10:08.000 Also, follow me on Gab Telegram, Parler, True Social.

00:10:12.000 Links are down below.

00:10:14.000 I've been posting some good stuff.

00:10:16.000 My Telegram's been exploding lately.

00:10:19.000 I posted something the other day.

00:10:20.000 It got 150,000 views.

00:10:23.000 Pretty good.

00:10:24.000 So I'm popping off on Telegram.

00:10:26.000 You gotta follow me there.

00:10:28.000 You gotta follow me on the others, because who knows when I get back on Twitter.

00:10:32.000 My last Burner account got banned on, I think, Saturday.

00:10:38.000 Spooky Goblin.

00:10:39.000 Didn't even make it to Halloween.

00:10:41.000 I thought I was in the clear.

00:10:42.000 I had 5,000 followers.

00:10:44.000 I was there for 48 hours.

00:10:45.000 I got like a million impressions on that account.

00:10:49.000 I run a Twitter account for 48 hours.

00:10:52.000 I get 5,000 followers.

00:10:55.000 I get tweets.

00:10:56.000 They get hundreds of thousands of impressions.

00:10:58.000 I'm that good, okay?

00:11:01.000 How good am I at Twitter?

00:11:03.000 I'm that good.

00:11:04.000 Some people, they accumulate followers over a decade.

00:11:12.000 And they get a million followers.

00:11:13.000 They get a, you know, two million followers.

00:11:17.000 And they get engagement because they've just accumulated so many.

00:11:20.000 You know, or they have these group chats where the group chats retweet their stuff or whatever.

00:11:27.000 And a lot of people couldn't build the following back up if they just, if they came back as a different guy.

00:11:33.000 People follow you because you're so-and-so.

00:11:36.000 Or they've just followed you over the years and they just forgot to unfollow you or something.

00:11:41.000 But if they disappeared and then came back later, could they get the following again?

00:11:45.000 Probably not.

00:11:47.000 Me?

00:11:47.000 I lose my account every day.

00:11:50.000 I die every day.

00:11:52.000 I die a horrible death.

00:11:53.000 My soul is ripped from my Twitter account every day.

00:11:57.000 I face a judgment.

00:12:01.000 And every day I get it back.

00:12:03.000 Every day I get it back.

00:12:04.000 Bangers.

00:12:06.000 Bangers.

00:12:06.000 Big tweets.

00:12:07.000 Impressions.

00:12:09.000 Group chats.

00:12:09.000 Big follows.

00:12:10.000 Big tweets.

00:12:11.000 Big impressions.

00:12:12.000 Big videos.

00:12:13.000 Big engagement. 1.00

00:12:14.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:12:16.000 Let's go. 1.00

00:12:16.000 I got probably a million impressions on my latest account. 1.00

00:12:20.000 People say, your viewership on Cozy is fake.

00:12:23.000 I get 100% of the people that watch the show to follow me on Twitter in two days?

00:12:30.000 On 36 hours?

00:12:31.000 I don't think so.

00:12:34.000 I don't think so.

00:12:36.000 But I got 5,000 followers.

00:12:39.000 I've got an army.

00:12:40.000 Okay, I've got an army of Groipers. 0.90

00:12:43.000 And I've just got this prodigal Twitter mind.

00:12:46.000 I was raised, I was born on Twitter.

00:12:50.000 So I was doing pretty good and I thought I was in the clear and then I got cut down unexpectedly.

00:12:58.000 Like Order 66 by the Clone Troopers. 0.97

00:13:01.000 I was leading the charge, maiming the Jew, okay? 1.00

00:13:06.000 Exposing subversive Jewish influence and then I just got cut down by my own guy, by Elon Musk. 0.69

00:13:15.000 Spooky Goblin, gone but not forgotten.

00:13:18.000 The communion of alts.

00:13:20.000 The communion of alts.

00:13:23.000 Is that blasphemous to say that?

00:13:24.000 The communion of alts and the life of the verified account.

00:13:29.000 The second account to come.

00:13:31.000 Is that blasphemous?

00:13:32.000 I mean, I don't think so.

00:13:33.000 I'm kind of just joking around.

00:13:36.000 But it is a tragic thing.

00:13:38.000 I lost my account and then the news media reported on it.

00:13:43.000 It was in Apple News, so everybody saw it.

00:13:46.000 I'm sure all my friends and fa- well, I don't really have any friends, but all my family, I'm sure, and people that used to be my friends saw it.

00:13:53.000 So... So it's a big deal.

00:13:56.000 It was on the front page of Drudge Report.

00:13:57.000 This spooky goblin's making waves.

00:14:01.000 Well, anyway.

00:14:02.000 So follow me on all that stuff.

00:14:04.000 Happy Halloween!

00:14:05.000 I hope you had a good holiday.

00:14:06.000 I didn't really do anything.

00:14:08.000 I'm gonna- I'm a grown-ass man.

00:14:10.000 I didn't do anything for Halloween.

00:14:13.000 Yeah, I didn't dress up, obviously.

00:14:17.000 Didn't even eat any candy.

00:14:19.000 Didn't even eat any candy.

00:14:22.000 I got chicken flautas from this Mexican place.

00:14:26.000 I got coffee.

00:14:27.000 I had pumpkin creamer.

00:14:28.000 That's it.

00:14:30.000 Had a piece of dark chocolate.

00:14:31.000 Does that count?

00:14:32.000 I just eat that because of the anti- I hope you had a good Halloween.

00:14:36.000 I mean, whatever.

00:14:36.000 I didn't do anything this weekend.

00:14:37.000 I didn't do anything tonight.

00:14:39.000 I was gonna stream last night.

00:14:41.000 I was gonna make a big to-do.

00:14:43.000 You know, UX said that we were gonna stream Phasmophobia on Sunday, and so I got all excited, and I got all ready to go, and he texts us at 8 o'clock and says, hey, is everybody ready?

00:14:57.000 And I was asleep, naturally.

00:14:59.000 But you know, I woke up at 8.30, and I said, hey, where is everybody?

00:15:03.000 Nowhere to be found.

00:15:04.000 Nowhere to be found.

00:15:05.000 He was gone.

00:15:06.000 I guess I got, uh, guess I got tricked.

00:15:12.000 Guess I got tricked this Halloween.

00:15:16.000 I said trick or treat and I guess I got tricked.

00:15:19.000 No treat.

00:15:20.000 So I tried anyway.

00:15:21.000 I tried to get the squad together.

00:15:23.000 Vader, he rolls out of bed at 9 o'clock. 0.95

00:15:28.000 This vagabond.

00:15:28.000 Although he'd been asleep all day.

00:15:30.000 I took a little nap.

00:15:31.000 He had been asleep all day.

00:15:34.000 And it took him probably three hours to get it together and log on where he doesn't even show his face or anything.

00:15:40.000 What do you got to do?

00:15:42.000 He's sort of in some kind of... There was overcast, there was fog everywhere.

00:15:46.000 I went to go get food and there was fog everywhere.

00:15:50.000 It was kind of a vibe.

00:15:53.000 So, that's that.

00:15:55.000 Anyway, what else we got?

00:15:56.000 What else we got on the menu?

00:15:59.000 Say goodbye to the pumpkin. 1.00

00:16:00.000 Should I kill this thing? 1.00

00:16:01.000 Where's my knife? 1.00

00:16:03.000 Where's my gun?

00:16:04.000 No, kidding.

00:16:05.000 I don't have weapons. 0.60

00:16:07.000 Should I cut it up with the sword?

00:16:09.000 I kind of want to. 0.73

00:16:10.000 Let me go get the sword.

00:16:13.000 Should I?

00:16:13.000 I don't know.

00:16:14.000 It's going to make a big mess.

00:16:17.000 I'm going to break.

00:16:17.000 You know I'm probably going to break something.

00:16:20.000 Should I do it?

00:16:21.000 Should I get the sword?

00:16:22.000 Should I get the knife?

00:16:23.000 I kind of want to get the knife.

00:16:27.000 What do you think?

00:16:28.000 The sword's just impractical.

00:16:29.000 I'm not going to do the sword.

00:16:35.000 Ollie says no.

00:16:38.000 No!

00:16:38.000 Get the knife.

00:16:39.000 Compromise.

00:16:40.000 I'm not getting the sword.

00:16:41.000 I'll go get the knife, okay?

00:16:43.000 Nick, the knife!

00:17:04.000 Okay, alright.

00:17:05.000 You ready?

00:17:05.000 Eat it!

00:17:06.000 I'm not gonna eat it.

00:17:10.000 I'm not eating it.

00:17:11.000 I'm not gonna eat it.

00:17:12.000 Can you eat it?

00:17:13.000 Is it edible?

00:17:13.000 It's probably not.

00:17:24.000 Alright.

00:17:26.000 Well, I'm happy.

00:17:27.000 I don't know about you.

00:17:30.000 That's good enough for me.

00:17:31.000 What do you think?

00:17:34.000 We think.

00:17:35.000 We happy? 1.00

00:17:35.000 Okay, well that's just gonna be a pain in the ass to clean. 1.00

00:17:45.000 Okay. 0.99

00:17:49.000 Alright, well that's done.

00:17:54.000 What else, what else can you do?

00:17:59.000 I'm not eating it.

00:18:01.000 Muckbong. 0.92

00:18:02.000 More! 0.72

00:18:04.000 Mendo more.

00:18:05.000 Leave the knife in it?

00:18:06.000 Oh, good idea.

00:18:10.000 Where?

00:18:11.000 How about here?

00:18:14.000 There you go.

00:18:14.000 How about like this?

00:18:20.000 How about like that?

00:18:22.000 Is that good?

00:18:23.000 That's kind of cack.

00:18:29.000 There it is.

00:18:30.000 Okay, there it is.

00:18:31.000 Got all these freaking pumpkin boogers everywhere now. 1.00

00:18:40.000 Gross. 0.83

00:18:43.000 Got a little pumpkin seed here. 0.64

00:18:47.000 Ew, it's all wet.

00:18:50.000 Okay.

00:18:52.000 Well, that's our show.

00:18:54.000 Thanks for watching.

00:18:57.000 Fake out.

00:18:58.000 How's the hair?

00:19:02.000 Okay.

00:19:04.000 All right.

00:19:05.000 So let's move on.

00:19:06.000 Let's get into our super chats.

00:19:09.000 Is that good?

00:19:10.000 It's a good angle. 0.97

00:19:19.000 Should I destroy it more?

00:19:21.000 I kind of want to break it out more.

00:19:23.000 Nah, we'll do it maybe later.

00:19:24.000 All right.

00:19:25.000 Okay.

00:19:26.000 So our first story, I want to talk about DHA.

00:19:30.000 From John.

00:19:37.000 I'm giving him a hard time.

00:19:38.000 I'm giving a hard time.

00:19:40.000 We love Doyle, but I saw this clip from years ago On one of the clip channels.

00:19:46.000 I was like, oh boy.

00:19:48.000 We've all been there.

00:19:49.000 We've all had our we've all had our moments I'm sure you could pull up my Halloween shows. 0.98

00:19:53.000 I'm saying goofy goofy shit, but But I was about to do I was that's sort of like 0.96

00:20:02.000 An inside joke that only I understand because I saw it today, but I was gonna say, hey, you thought that was scary? 0.99

00:20:07.000 How about this government overreach?

00:20:10.000 I saw that clip.

00:20:12.000 Jason Voorhees body count was 108.

00:20:14.000 Hitler out of that, all right? 0.97

00:20:18.000 You can call Stalin, you know, I like Stalin.

00:20:21.000 Maybe you don't like Stalin.

00:20:22.000 Okay.

00:20:23.000 You don't like Mao.

00:20:24.000 Fine.

00:20:25.000 You leave Adolf Hitler out of this. 0.57

00:20:28.000 We're gonna have a problem.

00:20:30.000 A big one.

00:20:31.000 You leave him alone.

00:20:34.000 You leave Adolphus Hitler out of that. 0.79

00:20:37.000 Authoritarian leftist governments killing millions.

00:20:41.000 Hey.

00:20:43.000 You want to pick on Mao?

00:20:45.000 You want to pick on Stalin?

00:20:46.000 No complaints from me.

00:20:47.000 You leave Hitler alone. 0.88

00:20:49.000 That's my one rule.

00:20:50.000 Okay?

00:20:51.000 That's my one rule.

00:20:53.000 You're done.

00:20:53.000 Okay?

00:20:54.000 You're done.

00:20:56.000 No, but I kid, of course.

00:20:58.000 Just a little fun Halloween clip.

00:21:00.000 I would consider myself a Doyle-head. 0.98

00:21:03.000 We're Doyle-heads.

00:21:06.000 I just want to make that clear.

00:21:07.000 I don't want him to think I'm coming at his neck.

00:21:10.000 I'm just... I'm just cacking at one of the old clips, okay?

00:21:13.000 I'm just having a little cack at one of his clips.

00:21:17.000 He put Hitler in it. 0.90

00:21:18.000 What's the story with that?

00:21:19.000 Well, leave Hitler out of it. 0.91

00:21:20.000 Why you gotta go and attack Hitler?

00:21:22.000 It's those secular Hitlers you gotta worry about. 1.00

00:21:26.000 Okay, right-wing Hitler's your biggest friend. 0.94

00:21:29.000 It's those secular Hitlers that you got to worry about. 1.00

00:21:33.000 Those Zionist Hitlers? 1.00

00:21:34.000 Those religious Hitlers? 1.00

00:21:35.000 There's this Jewish Zio in the Con Inksy named Andrew Meyer. 1.00

00:21:40.000 I forget why we don't like each other.

00:21:41.000 We just don't.

00:21:42.000 We go way back.

00:21:44.000 I forget what the beef was about.

00:21:45.000 Probably he's Jewish.

00:21:47.000 And that was his beef with me.

00:21:50.000 That was his beef with me, not my beef with him.

00:21:53.000 And so he put out this article to Kanye, addressed to Ye, and said something like, um, what was the usual, I'm a secular Jew, I'm an atheist Jew, we're there, or no, no, I'm sorry, the opposite, I'm a religious Jew, I'm a Zionist Jew out there, there are Jews that are on our side, but the ones that are, 0.55

00:22:17.000 are not tripping over themselves, telling you, no, no, no, I'm one of the good ones.

00:22:21.000 It's those ones!

00:22:22.000 It's not even really Jews, it's just those types of ones. 1.00

00:22:24.000 Those aren't, those aren't the based ones.

00:22:27.000 The based ones don't even really talk about themselves. 1.00

00:22:31.000 They just talk about the issues.

00:22:33.000 So, that's how I see it.

00:22:36.000 And even, you know, Bishop Williamson has said this, and others have said this, and you know, it's not, it's like anything.

00:22:42.000 Not all X's are like that. 0.71

00:22:45.000 But when they are based, they're not writing articles telling you, look over there!

00:22:48.000 Don't look over here, look over there!

00:22:50.000 I'm cool, I'm cool!

00:22:51.000 That's like, no.

00:22:52.000 Sorry.

00:22:53.000 Nope.

00:22:56.000 And I wanted to talk a little bit about Ye before we get into the news.

00:22:59.000 You know, I was reading about him today.

00:23:03.000 And I never realized this, but I was looking into this very closely.

00:23:08.000 I was doing a close reading of some of his lyrics on some of his songs.

00:23:14.000 And then I made this huge discovery here.

00:23:18.000 So, Life of Pablo was his, I forget which number it was, it was his what?

00:23:23.000 7th album?

00:23:24.000 Yeah, 7th album in 2016.

00:23:28.000 And 7th solo album.

00:23:35.000 And when he first came out with that album, nobody really knew what he meant by it.

00:23:40.000 What does life of Pablo mean?

00:23:41.000 They thought, did he mean Pablo Escobar?

00:23:44.000 The clouds and Paul is blinded for three days.

00:23:48.000 He's Saul.

00:23:49.000 He's Saul and then he becomes Paul.

00:23:51.000 Figures in the New Testament.

00:23:56.000 And one of the most important figures in the early church and preaches the Bible to the Gentiles and transforms Christianity.

00:24:04.000 And then I read, I read that section, and I read it from the King James Bible because that's probably what Kanye reads.

00:24:16.000 And this is what it says.

00:24:20.000 It says in Acts 9, 15, But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, for he is a chosen vessel unto me.

00:24:28.000 To bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and children of... In a recent interview, he said, don't call me... Don't call me an artist.

00:24:35.000 I am a vessel.

00:24:37.000 And he also said this on Drink Champs.

00:24:39.000 He said, God is the only artist.

00:24:41.000 I am a vessel.

00:24:42.000 He says this constantly.

00:24:46.000 And so, it totally synced up.

00:24:48.000 Because in 2016, he puts out this album comparing himself to Saint... Up here in the Book of Acts.

00:24:56.000 It says...

00:24:59.000 About Saul it says and straightaway he preached Christ in the synagogues that he Jesus is the Son of God But all that heard him were amazed and said is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem and came hither for that intent that might bring them bound unto the chief priests

00:25:16.000 But Saul increased the Moor in strength and confounded the Jews which dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 1.00

00:25:25.000 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.

00:25:30.000 But their laying await was known of Saul, and they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 0.86

00:25:39.000 And then it's like, okay.

00:25:42.000 So...

00:25:43.000 Now, is this just me reading too much into it, or does it kind of track that Ye says he saw the ultralight beam?

00:25:57.000 And it's... I'm surprised this didn't get more coverage.

00:26:00.000 Well, I guess I'm not, but it's a really important story.

00:26:03.000 This is from The Intercept.

00:26:06.000 And we complain about censorship, and we say that that's killing free speech, and that's...

00:26:11.000 against the first amendment and they say well technically because they're so smart they're see they're really well read and they know what they're talking about they say well technically the first amendment only applies to the government not to private enterprise which can do whatever it likes and there's about a million problems with that argument first and foremost being that almost all the big tech companies were started by the government

00:26:36.000 The internet was created by the government and entities like Google were created by the government.

00:26:44.000 Almost all the big tech companies and all the people that work at the big tech companies have their origin with the national security apparatus.

00:26:54.000 Look into it.

00:26:55.000 That's not what this show is about.

00:26:58.000 But if you look closely enough, the idea that there's some kind of free enterprise thing going on with Big Tech, it just flies in the face of what Big Tech is and always was.

00:27:12.000 And so it's the origin of the internet and the origin of the tech, the giant tech of the government, specifically the national security apparatus, is very broad and it's very alarming.

00:27:23.000 A lot of people don't even know that.

00:27:24.000 Because of course, where did these companies start?

00:27:27.000 Almost all these companies started in the Ivy League or very high-level research universities.

00:27:35.000 And the research universities and the Ivy League schools are totally in bed with the national security apparatus.

00:27:41.000 Where do you think the federal government farms out its best talent?

00:27:46.000 Ivy League schools.

00:27:46.000 Research universities.

00:27:48.000 So like Mark Zuckerberg.

00:27:50.000 Anybody see the movie Social Ration on these platforms has worked in the era of censorship starting in 2016.

00:27:56.000 And this new report sheds some light on that and I'll read the report to you.

00:28:01.000 It says, quote, the Department of Homeland Security is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech that it considers dangerous, according to an investigation by The Intercept.

00:28:11.000 Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents obtained via leaks and that ongoing lawsuit in Missouri, as well as public documents, illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms.

00:28:26.000 Behind closed doors, requests for false or intentionally misleading information.

00:28:32.000 Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, who is also a former DHS official, texted Jen Easter... ...network. 0.56

00:28:42.000 You were running the Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Apparatus for the government.

00:28:48.000 Now you're an executive at Microsoft, one of the big five.

00:28:52.000 And he's texting a director of the DHS that these companies have just got to get more comfortable with government.

00:28:59.000 Yeah, nothing to see here.

00:29:02.000 In a March meeting Laura Demlow and FBI with Elon Musk, it's not about free speech.

00:29:08.000 It's about information that challenges the security of the American state.

00:29:13.000 That is always the issue.

00:29:15.000 That is why they did censorship in the beginning.

00:29:18.000 That's why they're doing it now.

00:29:20.000 It is the so-called national security imperative.

00:29:27.000 What other big news stories have there been other than those things since March 2020?

00:29:35.000 Can you think of anything?

00:29:38.000 Because when I think of the last two years, I think about quarter one, two, and three of 2020 was COVID pandemic.

00:29:48.000 Quarter 3 and 4 of... Quarter 3 and 4 of 2020 and Quarter 1 of 2021 is election fraud.

00:29:53.000 Quarter 1, 2, 3, and 4 of 2021 was the vaccine, placed throughout 2021.

00:29:56.000 The withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was the summer of 2021.

00:30:01.000 And then in 2022, the war in Ukraine.

00:30:03.000 What else is there?

00:30:17.000 What are the other big stories?

00:30:19.000 I'm hard-pressed to even think of any other than maybe inflation, although I would consider that part of Ukraine. 0.99

00:30:26.000 So, in other words, they're getting involved in all of it.

00:30:30.000 They're not even hiding it.

00:30:31.000 It'd be one thing if they said, and you would still scrutinize this, but it would be one thing if they said one issue.

00:30:38.000 It'd be one thing if they said, well, the vaccine is just such a critical thing that we've just got to regulate that.

00:30:46.000 That wouldn't be okay, of course, but it would be limited.

00:30:51.000 It would be narrow.

00:30:53.000 But they're coming out there and saying, we're gonna control all the information about all the news, which was in vogue before the Trump presidency, after January 6th turned into misinformation creates terrorists.

00:31:07.000 Therefore, anyone promulgating alternative narratives about Mustemeyer.

00:31:13.000 And then, around the time of the pandemic, around the time of COVID, they said that it was vaccine misinformation and election misinformation.

00:31:23.000 Which were undermining the government and causing violence.

00:31:26.000 The Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, which they attribute as violence, caused lone wolf, high casualty, antisocial violence.

00:31:33.000 So now the government's got to be in the business of the veracity of the news.

00:31:39.000 Any of it.

00:31:40.000 All of it.

00:31:40.000 Whether it's about George Floyd, or it's about Ukraine, or the election, or the vaccine, or the pandemic, or inflation, or whatever.

00:31:48.000 As long as there are issues, and as long as people care about them, DHS says that if people are free to create and form their own opinions and promulgate them, it will cause terrorism. 0.59

00:32:01.000 It will cause people to go out there and blow shit up and communication between people.

00:32:08.000 Totally nightmare stuff, and we all said that in 2021. 0.97

00:32:12.000 It was obvious.

00:32:15.000 They said DVE, domestic violent extremism, was caused by misinformation, emerging narratives that could cause violence, and they sent people into the telegram group chats and so on.

00:32:27.000 They contracted it out with private firms to get around the Constitution.

00:32:31.000 And they turned the war on terror apparatus inwardly.

00:32:35.000 Afghanistan ended and then they declared war on the enemy within.

00:32:40.000 Using Patriot Act, Operation Echelon, the NSA, all of that.

00:32:48.000 The article goes on it says the extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans daily social feeds is unclear.

00:32:56.000 During the 2020 election the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious many of which government is flagging lots of content and Big Tech is taking a lot of it down.

00:33:06.000 Not all of it and not most of it but they're 35% is not an insignificant amount. 0.93

00:33:11.000 If the government is flagging thousands of posts

00:33:15.000 Presumably big ones.

00:33:16.000 Presumably they're not policing the guy that gets one like or one share, but presumably that's 5,000 big posts in a short time period.

00:33:25.000 And Big Tech takes action on a third of them in a year.

00:33:30.000 The research was done in consultation with CISA, the cybersecurity infrastructure security agency.

00:33:38.000 Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, the CISA, and other government representatives.

00:33:51.000 According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative still ongoing between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election.

00:34:01.000 So I remember

00:34:03.000 Me, Sneeko, and Destiny did a panel recently, and Destiny said, Wikipedia wouldn't lie!

00:34:10.000 Wikipedia isn't part of Big Tech!

00:34:13.000 Big Tech is in bed with the government, but Mark Zuckerberg went to a hearing!

00:34:18.000 Okay.

00:34:20.000 Literally, it's more extreme than what we were saying.

00:34:24.000 So that's not just the big social platforms.

00:34:27.000 It's also the networking platform, and it's also a telecom giant, and it's also the online encyclopedic forums.

00:34:34.000 Not really.

00:34:34.000 I mean, not really.

00:34:37.000 Discord is like a social communications platform, I would say, as opposed to a pure social media platform like a Twitter or Facebook.

00:34:46.000 And we can split hairs.

00:34:47.000 Obviously, they all do different things, and the point is that all of them are affected by this.

00:34:53.000 It's not just a strict, narrow, select few number of platforms with billions of users and where content can go viral, but it's also these other ones you don't think of very much.

00:35:03.000 Wikipedia is meeting with the FBI.

00:35:05.000 What is the implication there about information?

00:35:09.000 If Google gets its bios and profile about information from Wikipedia, you know, what does that say about all this collusion between the tech companies and between the tech companies and the government?

00:35:23.000 They're all in on it.

00:35:25.000 The telecom company's search engine, the search engine and YouTube, the search engine and the ad platform, the search engine and the encyclopedia, the social platforms and the service providers.

00:35:42.000 The service providers and, you know, they're all connected.

00:35:45.000 And they all are, quite literally, meeting on a weekly or monthly basis with the White House Press Office, with the FBI, with the Department of Homeland Security, with the intention of collaborating, including on disinformation.

00:36:00.000 They're all involved.

00:36:02.000 And who owns these companies?

00:36:04.000 Who owns the companies?

00:36:06.000 Facebook makes its money from advertisers.

00:36:09.000 Who are the advertisers on Facebook?

00:36:11.000 Giant corporations.

00:36:12.000 Wall Street.

00:36:13.000 Who runs and controls Wall Street?

00:36:16.000 The board.

00:36:17.000 Who controls the board and the composition of the board?

00:36:20.000 ESG?

00:36:21.000 The stock index?

00:36:22.000 They say there's a diversity quota to be listed now?

00:36:26.000 SEC?

00:36:28.000 Exerting the SEC a government institution?

00:36:30.000 The banks?

00:36:32.000 Who do the banks answer to?

00:36:33.000 The Federal Reserve?

00:36:37.000 Who else does Wall Street, who else does Big Tech answer to?

00:36:40.000 Who owns so many of the shares of the big companies, particularly the S&P 500 or the S&P 50 or the S&P 5?

00:36:49.000 BlackRock, Vanguard, the big financial firms.

00:36:58.000 So it's a lot more interconnected than people think.

00:37:02.000 People think that there's this checks and balances or they've got separate domains or something.

00:37:09.000 And there is some truth to that.

00:37:11.000 But Washington and New York and Silicon Valley are all intimately connected.

00:37:18.000 They're connected with Boston.

00:37:19.000 It's like and I'm trying to help you guys understand that they're all connected with a deep level of interdependence and complexity.

00:37:29.000 The Ivy League and research universities.

00:37:32.000 That's where all the smart people go.

00:37:34.000 That's where all the programmers go.

00:37:35.000 That's where all the big brains go.

00:37:39.000 They're plucked from the universities by the private sector, by the public sector, by the government, by the IC, the intelligence community, or by big tech.

00:37:48.000 And big tech and the IC swap places.

00:37:51.000 Or they're picked out by private enterprise in New York, by the big financial firms, by the corporate world.

00:37:59.000 And they all start out there.

00:38:01.000 They're all plucked from there.

00:38:02.000 And then they're all in business together.

00:38:04.000 They're all trading places in what we would call the revolving door.

00:38:08.000 And on an institutional level, they're all connected.

00:38:11.000 A company like Twitter was publicly owned.

00:38:16.000 And so who did it answer to?

00:38:17.000 Who runs Twitter?

00:38:18.000 The board.

00:38:20.000 Who does the board answer to?

00:38:21.000 The shareholders.

00:38:22.000 What do the shareholders look at?

00:38:24.000 The finances.

00:38:25.000 Who controls the finances?

00:38:26.000 The advertisers.

00:38:28.000 Who are the advertisers?

00:38:29.000 The big corporations.

00:38:31.000 Who owns the big corporations?

00:38:34.000 Banks.

00:38:37.000 ESG as well as DEI regulations from oversight bodies and government.

00:38:43.000 And so right there is why can't Twitter, why can't Jack Dorsey who's a West Coast

00:38:51.000 Free speech guru, ideologue, tech evangelist.

00:38:55.000 Why can't he make Twitter free speech?

00:38:57.000 Because he doesn't control Twitter.

00:38:58.000 Who does control Twitter?

00:39:00.000 Well, the bottom line.

00:39:01.000 It's the shareholders.

00:39:02.000 Shareholders are the financial institutions.

00:39:05.000 And who makes up the revenue that meet the bottom line that the shareholders care about?

00:39:09.000 The advertisers.

00:39:10.000 And who are the advertisers?

00:39:11.000 The big corporations.

00:39:14.000 So Jack Dorsey doesn't really run Twitter.

00:39:16.000 He never did.

00:39:18.000 And neither did Parag, whatever.

00:39:22.000 And who's really running the corporations?

00:39:24.000 If there is guidance being handed down to the corporations about the composition of the board, who's really in control?

00:39:30.000 And if they answer to regulators, and if they answer to the financial institutions to give them the equity, or the big institutions that control the shares, who are they liable to?

00:39:41.000 So things are not as they seem.

00:39:43.000 The idea that everybody's who they say they are, that it's about the chair, well, that's the president of Twitter you're talking about.

00:39:49.000 Well, that's the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee you're talking about.

00:39:54.000 Where does the money come from?

00:39:56.000 Where does the power come from?

00:39:58.000 Who exerts influence?

00:40:02.000 Follow the money, follow this entangling web of influence.

00:40:06.000 That's what we're trying to unravel here.

00:40:08.000 And it's interesting because in my conversations with Bunnell, he seems to represent the real opposite side.

00:40:14.000 Not necessarily a guy who says he's a leftist, but a guy who's an apologist for the system.

00:40:18.000 Who says the system is what it is.

00:40:21.000 It is what it appears to be.

00:40:23.000 It is what it says it is.

00:40:24.000 It is essentially

00:40:27.000 Effectively for everything that matters significantly as it seems to be.

00:40:34.000 The elections seem to be democratic.

00:40:36.000 The government seems to be in charge.

00:40:40.000 When Twitter censors people it seems to be coming from the censors of Twitter.

00:40:46.000 And I'm the guy over here saying it's a little bit more complicated than that.

00:40:51.000 That there is such a thing as complex interdependence.

00:40:56.000 And you cannot look at the chair, you can't look at the building, or the name on the chair, the name at the desk, or the name on the building.

00:41:04.000 You gotta look at the people.

00:41:05.000 You gotta follow the money.

00:41:06.000 You gotta understand how these things work.

00:41:10.000 And so, a DHS worker

00:41:14.000 Working at Microsoft as an executive at the weekly meeting with DHS talking about how big tech needs to accept government is not surprising.

00:41:23.000 And the leaders of Wikipedia and Discord and Reddit and Facebook and Twitter and Verizon getting on a call with the FBI every month to discuss disinformation?

00:41:32.000 Not surprising to me.

00:41:34.000 And the White House Press Office calling up Facebook and getting a reply in 30 seconds that they're going to take down a particular post about COVID?

00:41:42.000 Not surprising to me.

00:41:47.000 So, everybody wants you to think about, this is the biggest takeaway here.

00:41:52.000 This is what I want the young people to internalize.

00:41:55.000 You are constantly being hit with a barrage of propaganda that wants you, it's really about misdirection.

00:42:02.000 It's not about necessarily telling you something that isn't true, although sometimes it does.

00:42:07.000 It's about convincing you to look somewhere other than where the truth is.

00:42:11.000 That's what it's really about.

00:42:13.000 So, for example, when I went to high school and I got into politics, I was reading Milton Friedman.

00:42:18.000 And he wrote books called Free to Choose and Capitalism and Freedom.

00:42:21.000 And he talked about these very vague, abstract, nebulous concepts about the free market and taxes and an individual's economic rights and their political rights.

00:42:33.000 And it was really about a lot of things that aren't real.

00:42:37.000 And that's what all of these institutions are about.

00:42:40.000 It's about inculcating people with these big ideas, not details.

00:42:46.000 Think about political economy.

00:42:50.000 Don't think about imports and exports.

00:42:51.000 Don't think about what America makes.

00:42:55.000 And what it sells, what it exports, and what it imports.

00:43:00.000 Don't think about the Teslas and how they're built and how you build the batteries and where you get the lithium and who produces the lithium and where it's produced.

00:43:08.000 Don't think about the beryllium.

00:43:09.000 Don't think about the copper.

00:43:10.000 Don't think about the zinc or the nickel.

00:43:13.000 Don't think about... Don't think about those things.

00:43:16.000 Don't think about, you know, what we stand for is the free market.

00:43:21.000 Don't think about BlackRock.

00:43:23.000 Don't think about Wall Street.

00:43:24.000 Don't think about how a person makes money or where the spending power resides in the country.

00:43:31.000 Who's rich?

00:43:32.000 Who makes one rich? 0.83

00:43:33.000 Where do fortunes come from?

00:43:35.000 Who creates fortunes?

00:43:38.000 Which institutions have the spending power?

00:43:40.000 The billionaires or the institutions they control or the states?

00:43:43.000 Who controls the spending power of the state?

00:43:46.000 Politicians are the donors that put up the money for the politicians to benefit from the spending power of the state.

00:43:53.000 And really all that's required is just a little bit of critical thinking.

00:43:56.000 But there's no fancy infographic, there's no cartoon that explains this.

00:44:02.000 There's a handy cartoon that explains how freedom to buy and sell goods makes the GDP go up and makes efficiency go up.

00:44:11.000 Okay, well that really doesn't mean anything.

00:44:14.000 There's a whole lot of money being poured into these fancy infographics to teach you that a, you know, a particular bill which you haven't read and you know the details of is like free market because of this, because of economic liberty. 0.97

00:44:27.000 That's a bunch of crap that doesn't mean anything. 0.81

00:44:33.000 What is wealth? 0.98

00:44:34.000 How is America gonna be wealthy?

00:44:35.000 Where does money come from?

00:44:37.000 What is wealth?

00:44:38.000 What is, you know, where does it come from?

00:44:40.000 How is it made?

00:44:42.000 How does a nation have wealth and how is it distributed?

00:44:45.000 These are the important questions and the same is true of power too. 0.99

00:44:50.000 So, that's what I would say the difference is people go on and on about and by the way that only just that only just goes to show how facile and stupid it is to write 30,000 words about trannies. 0.95

00:45:06.000 You know, and I'm not trying to be venomous here, but that is really the crux of the disagreement. 0.93

00:45:12.000 If Stephen Bunnell sees it fit to write a 30,000 word essay about trans discourse and girls that identify as boys, or vice versa, and things like 9-11 and like debanking and the no-fly list and 0.59

00:45:30.000 Shel Nadelson and the revolving door and the iron triangle is just sort of like hand waved away.

00:45:36.000 Oh, I don't really know what that is.

00:45:38.000 I'm sure that's all above board.

00:45:39.000 Anyway, let's get into the weeds on who's really a girl or not.

00:45:45.000 Let's write 30,000 words and attach 10,000 footnotes about, you know, these trannies that like being trannies and these trannies that really do believe they're the other. 1.00

00:45:56.000 You know, it's like, seriously?

00:45:59.000 Tell me where the beryllium comes from.

00:46:03.000 I don't care!

00:46:04.000 Tell me where the beryllium comes from.

00:46:06.000 Tell me where the hafnium comes from and its applications.

00:46:11.000 That's what I'm interested in.

00:46:13.000 And I want to know who wrote the Clean Break Memo and I want to know who working at Big Tech was working in the National Security State and who working in the National Security State was working at Big Tech.

00:46:24.000 I want their names.

00:46:25.000 I want to know who they are.

00:46:26.000 I want to know their background.

00:46:28.000 I want to know who they know.

00:46:30.000 I want to create a giant cork board and map it all out with yarn.

00:46:34.000 And you're over there writing 30,000 words about... Well, I think that boys who become girls shouldn't play water polo with the girls because they're still technically men and they're strong. 0.96

00:46:50.000 Oh, but all that other stuff?

00:46:51.000 Yeah, it checks out.

00:46:53.000 Yeah, it checks out.

00:46:53.000 I'm sure 9-11 was what the government said it was.

00:46:56.000 I mean, the government can't, they can't lie.

00:46:58.000 They can't!

00:46:59.000 It would be, I assume it's impossible for them to cover it up.

00:47:05.000 You know, and it's like, okay.

00:47:07.000 So, as I've said before, it's not a question of ideology and he's over here and I'm over here.

00:47:12.000 It's a question of depth.

00:47:13.000 We're down here, you're up there.

00:47:15.000 Okay, we're down here digging and digging and you're up there.

00:47:20.000 Talking about whether a protester can use self-defense or whether a boy is a girl.

00:47:27.000 So anyway, that's that.

00:47:30.000 But I want to move on.

00:47:31.000 I want to get into Twitter itself.

00:47:35.000 I want to get into Elon Musk and some of the changes being made at Twitter.

00:47:39.000 And I don't want to spend too much time on this because there's really not a ton to say and then we'll look at our Super Chats.

00:47:45.000 So our featured story is about the Elon Musk takeover of Twitter, and the gist is very simple.

00:47:52.000 There are some developments we're watching closely, but we can't really make anything out of them just yet.

00:47:58.000 And the big developments include that he has fired the entire board of Twitter.

00:48:03.000 So we fired the top officers on Thursday, which was the CEO, the CFO, the head of the trust and safety,

00:48:12.000 And then today he dismissed all the board members and became the sole board member.

00:48:16.000 So he's now the CEO, the chief officer.

00:48:20.000 He's also now the sole director, the sole board member.

00:48:23.000 So he's got absolute control over the company.

00:48:26.000 Very epic.

00:48:27.000 That's development number one and this is a story.

00:48:30.000 It's his quote.

00:48:31.000 Elon Musk has dissolved Twitter's board of directors, cementing his control over the social media platform.

00:48:38.000 The reforms he is contemplating include changes for how Twitter verifies accounts as well as job cuts.

00:48:43.000 The Washington Post has reported that a first round of cuts is under discussion that could affect 25% of Twitter staff.

00:48:51.000 He is now the sole director of Twitter.

00:48:55.000 The nine ousted directors include former chairman of the board Brett Taylor and the former chief executive Parag Agrawal.

00:49:04.000 Mr. Musk's takeover has drawn widespread scrutiny as he signals plans to overhaul how Twitter has moderated the spread of information on its platform, including from sources such as state media, politicians, and celebrities.

00:49:15.000 Mr. Musk said the company would create a new council to govern those decisions, and that no changes would occur until the council is convened.

00:49:23.000 On Monday, Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, said that he had asked the government to review the national security implications of the deal, given the large stake of the company held by firms tied to Saudi Arabia.

00:49:35.000 Oh, really?

00:49:37.000 Mr. Murphy wrote on Twitter, we should be concerned that the Saudis, who have a clear interest in repressing political speech and impacting politics, are now the second largest owner of a major social platform. 0.99

00:49:49.000 Oh, now they're concerned?

00:49:52.000 The Saudi Crown Prince Al-Waleed was one of the biggest shareholders.

00:49:56.000 He was always one of the biggest shareholders up until I don't know when exactly, but that was true before the deal.

00:50:03.000 That was true before Elon Musk acquired his 9% stake at the beginning of the year.

00:50:10.000 It's Crown Prince.

00:50:12.000 What's his name?

00:50:13.000 Al-Waleed something something Al-Waleed.

00:50:16.000 He was always behind the big financial institutions

00:50:21.000 One of the biggest shareholders of Twitter.

00:50:23.000 Always.

00:50:25.000 But now that Elon Musk has taken over the company and is the CEO and the sole director and by far and away the biggest shareholder, he took a private, owns a majority of the shares, now they're really concerned about the ties to Saudi Arabia.

00:50:39.000 Seriously?

00:50:42.000 It's just like what we covered on Friday or Thursday.

00:50:46.000 All these Twitter employees saying we're pawns of the billionaires.

00:50:50.000 Who owned Twitter before Elon Musk?

00:50:52.000 Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia?

00:50:55.000 And Paul Singer and BlackRock.

00:50:58.000 Oh, but now you're concerned about being pawned to billionaires.

00:51:01.000 Same thing with this Democrat senator.

00:51:04.000 Oh, well now he's concerned about a Saudi prince owning a large stake.

00:51:07.000 He has owned a large stake for I think the last seven years, maybe longer.

00:51:13.000 Now it's a big problem.

00:51:14.000 Really? 0.96

00:51:17.000 We hate to interrupt your regularly scheduled programming of being dominated by foreign governments, transnational corporations, Jewish billionaires, now a rogue class traitor like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or Yale become your boss. 0.99

00:51:32.000 Whoa! 0.97

00:51:32.000 Uh-oh! 0.97

00:51:33.000 Now I have a big problem with that.

00:51:34.000 This is reprehensible!

00:51:37.000 Seriously?

00:51:39.000 They want to go back to the Illuminati.

00:51:40.000 It's not okay that a billionaire is controlling it.

00:51:43.000 They need the Illuminati billionaires, the Jew billionaires. 1.00

00:51:47.000 So he decapitated the leadership. 0.98

00:51:48.000 That's good.

00:51:49.000 Because as we know, the board was standing in the way.

00:51:52.000 The shareholders are standing in the way.

00:51:53.000 The board was standing in the way.

00:51:56.000 So as far as I'm concerned, him firing the chief officers and dismissing the board, that's two steps closer.

00:52:03.000 Taking it private and buying out all the shareholders, that's another step closer to free speech.

00:52:08.000 All of these positions were against free speech.

00:52:12.000 The officers, which were biased.

00:52:14.000 The board, which answered to the shareholders and they were biased.

00:52:18.000 And the shareholders.

00:52:20.000 Because the shareholders are looking at the bottom line.

00:52:24.000 And sometimes the bottom line can be, excuse me, can be deceiving.

00:52:30.000 If you're going to do a major corporate transition, probably the shareholders are going to punish the company.

00:52:37.000 If that means a short-term loss, if that means a radical, experimental, new, novel approach, shareholders might not like that.

00:52:46.000 So shareholders are gonna depress the price if big, crazy things are going on.

00:52:51.000 And if they see red, and if they see media pressure ADL coming in...

00:52:55.000 And of course the board is used to answering to them.

00:52:58.000 They've got a business mentality as opposed to a sort of entrepreneurial mentality, which is slightly different.

00:53:03.000 So he's three steps closer as far as I'm concerned with the buyout, firing, the dismissal of the board.

00:53:09.000 Three steps closer to getting Twitter to free speech.

00:53:11.000 That's a good one.

00:53:12.000 The other big development is he froze all the moderation tools.

00:53:16.000 And this is another report.

00:53:18.000 It says, quote,

00:53:19.000 Twitter Inc.

00:53:20.000 has frozen employee access to internal tools used for content moderation and other policy enforcement, curbing the staff's ability to clamp down on misinformation ahead of a major U.S.

00:53:31.000 election.

00:53:33.000 Most people who work in Twitter's trust and safety organization are currently unable to alter or penalize penal

00:53:41.000 Penile.

00:53:41.000 Penalized accounts that break rules around misleading information.

00:53:45.000 Offensive posts and hate speech except for the most high-impact violations that would involve real-world harm.

00:53:52.000 Those posts were prioritized for manual enforcement, they said.

00:53:55.000 People who were on call to enforce Twitter's policies during Brazil's election did access internal tools on Sunday, but in a limited capacity.

00:54:05.000 The company is still utilizing automated enforcement and third-party contractors, although the highest profile violations are typically reviewed by Twitter employees.

00:54:14.000 On Friday and Saturday, Bloomberg reported a surge in hate speech on Twitter. 0.69

00:54:19.000 That included a 1,700% spike in the use of a racist slur, and that slur is nigger.

00:54:28.000 On the platform, which at its peak appeared 215 times every five minutes, which is a lot of times, apparently.

00:54:35.000 Is that too many times?

00:54:36.000 Who's to say?

00:54:38.000 According to data from Dataminr, an official Twitter partner that has access to the entire platform, the trust and safety team did not have access to enforce Twitter's moderation policies during this time.

00:54:49.000 Yoel Roth, Yoel Roth, a Jew, Twitter's head of safety and integrity, posted a series of tweets on Monday addressing the increase in offensive posts, saying that every few people see the content in question,

00:55:02.000 Since Saturday we've focused on addressing the surge in hateful conduct on Twitter.

00:55:06.000 We've made measurable progress removing 1,500 accounts and reducing impressions on this content to nearly zero.

00:55:15.000 We're primarily dealing with a focused short-term trolling campaign.

00:55:21.000 That's the other development and the moderation tools being frozen is good but this report is not good and it's playing out exactly like I said.

00:55:33.000 They generate a report about a billion percent increase in hate speech.

00:55:36.000 A billion percent increase in anti-Semitism or racism.

00:55:42.000 And that creates the impetus for an advertiser boycott or for some high-pressure campaign.

00:55:47.000 We already see it.

00:55:48.000 It's already being reported.

00:55:50.000 The n-word was tweeted six million times since Thursday.

00:55:53.000 That's not good.

00:55:57.000 And penalizing 1,500 accounts which includes like literally probably 800 Groypers.

00:56:03.000 No joke.

00:56:05.000 I was going through some of the surviving Groypers Twitters and they lost 75% of their followers.

00:56:11.000 75% of the people they followed.

00:56:14.000 75% of their group chat.

00:56:17.000 So out of the 1,500 people that got banned like half of them were us.

00:56:20.000 Okay?

00:56:21.000 And we didn't do that!

00:56:22.000 We didn't do that!

00:56:23.000 They banned Paul.

00:56:25.000 Paul didn't tweet the N-word.

00:56:27.000 They banned Brant.

00:56:28.000 Brant didn't tweet the N-word.

00:56:29.000 They banned Lavrov.

00:56:31.000 He didn't tweet.

00:56:31.000 They banned me.

00:56:32.000 I didn't tweet the N-word.

00:56:34.000 I called people Jew a lot. 1.00

00:56:36.000 I said, hey, shut up, Jew. 1.00

00:56:37.000 And I didn't mean it like... I meant it sort of tongue-in-cheek. 1.00

00:56:41.000 But I didn't mean it as a trolling campaign.

00:56:43.000 I meant it like, hey, you're Jewish. 0.98

00:56:47.000 And you're trying to trick us all.

00:56:50.000 So that's not a trolling campaign.

00:56:51.000 That's protected.

00:56:54.000 So the freezing of the moderation tools implies there's a reform happening.

00:56:57.000 There's a suspension.

00:56:59.000 There's a reorganizing happening.

00:57:00.000 But this big purge doesn't bode so well.

00:57:05.000 So those are the big updates.

00:57:06.000 I mean, again, we can't make any judgment.

00:57:10.000 And I'm not coping because it could be really bad.

00:57:13.000 It could be really good.

00:57:15.000 Full disclosure, I am optimistic.

00:57:18.000 But whether it's going to be good or whether it's going to be bad, no decisions have been made yet.

00:57:23.000 No changes have been made yet.

00:57:25.000 The company was acquired on Thursday.

00:57:28.000 So... Elon Musk has even said himself that they've not actually even made any changes to enforcement.

00:57:34.000 So some people saw me get banned and they said, oh, Elon banned you.

00:57:37.000 Oh, Elon took over and they still banned you.

00:57:41.000 Which implies that something changed.

00:57:44.000 When in actuality, although Twitter changed hands,

00:57:47.000 It's really the same regime.

00:57:49.000 It's the same enforcement regime that banned me.

00:57:52.000 It's not like Elon logged on and said, oh, he's gone.

00:57:54.000 And that was our decision.

00:57:57.000 They have not made changes to the moderations.

00:57:59.000 We're still getting the same moderation from before.

00:58:02.000 And Musk said that he will convene a board.

00:58:06.000 And once the board is assembled, then they will make decisions on how the moderation will change and whose bans may be reversed.

00:58:16.000 It's really not going to know until then what the changes even will be and what an effect they are.

00:58:23.000 So it's premature to make any judgment.

00:58:25.000 I would caution against being optimistic or pessimistic.

00:58:29.000 Some people are coping and they're saying, see, this is fine.

00:58:33.000 And it's like, I won't go that far.

00:58:34.000 I wouldn't say it's fine.

00:58:35.000 It's still a very, still a very tenuous, precarious situation.

00:58:41.000 I wouldn't rush to say it's fine.

00:58:43.000 I also wouldn't rush to say it's over.

00:58:45.000 I wouldn't say we're back.

00:58:46.000 I also wouldn't say it's over.

00:58:49.000 I would say stand back and stand by.

00:58:51.000 I wouldn't say we're back.

00:58:53.000 I wouldn't say we're so back.

00:58:54.000 I also wouldn't say it's so over.

00:58:57.000 I would say stand back and stand by for MAGA night at the White House.

00:59:01.000 Because we will have a better idea of what this is going to look like maybe within a few months.

00:59:06.000 And then we can say, is it working?

00:59:08.000 Is it not working?

00:59:09.000 Is it going well?

00:59:11.000 Is it moving in the right direction?

00:59:12.000 But right now, nobody knows.

00:59:15.000 So that's my take on that.

00:59:16.000 But so far so good.

00:59:18.000 He didn't immediately capitulate to everything.

00:59:20.000 So that's that's good.

00:59:21.000 He's still holding out.

00:59:23.000 And the deal was completed.

00:59:24.000 We didn't even think that would happen for some time.

00:59:26.000 So the deal was completed.

00:59:27.000 I'm still happy about that.

00:59:29.000 And there are some causes for optimism here.

00:59:33.000 But

00:59:35.000 Like everything, I don't believe it until I see it.

00:59:38.000 I've been doing this for a long time and sometimes things seem too good to be true and that's because usually they are.

00:59:46.000 And so I don't believe it until the thing happens.

00:59:50.000 You know, they told me I was off the no-fly list in March.

00:59:54.000 And then I went out to get on a plane, and they sent me away.

00:59:57.000 Because I was on the Quad S list.

01:00:00.000 Which I didn't know!

01:00:01.000 I thought they sent me away for the same reason.

01:00:03.000 They told me in March that I was actually let off in November, but I didn't know.

01:00:08.000 And I was on the Quad S list from November until June.

01:00:13.000 But so in March, they sent me an email and said, hey, we reviewed it, you're off.

01:00:16.000 I said, whoa, great news!

01:00:18.000 I went to the airport, I booked a round-trip flight, and they said, we can't get you on.

01:00:23.000 I said, well, why not?

01:00:23.000 I'm off the no-fly list.

01:00:25.000 I told them, I said, I just got off the no-fly list.

01:00:28.000 And they said, well, the problem is it's a round-trip ticket because we have to check you in.

01:00:37.000 Because it's under the same reservation you're flight to and from, we have to check you in at security here.

01:00:44.000 But also at the airport that you're traveling from to return, which we can't do from here.

01:00:50.000 They said, you got to rebook it as two one-way tickets.

01:00:53.000 I was like, what?

01:00:55.000 So I was just like, I'm just still on the no-fly list.

01:00:57.000 So then I submitted another trip and then I went back to the airport two months later.

01:01:01.000 I bought a one-way ticket and I was like, oh, okay.

01:01:04.000 I'm in.

01:01:05.000 Then I tried to fly home and I was banned from American Airlines.

01:01:09.000 Then I tried, then, so I flew to Tampa.

01:01:13.000 And I was like, wow, I flew, I win, I got a first-class flight, I'm hanging with Baked Alaska, I got to the airport to fly back home, and they said, you can't fly.

01:01:23.000 I said, what?

01:01:25.000 I just flew, I just got off the no-fly list, I'm on Quad S, is that it?

01:01:28.000 And they said, no, I'm banned from American, and I'm banned from Delta.

01:01:35.000 So I was like, maybe I'm banned from all the, maybe I'm banned from all the airlines.

01:01:38.000 So I booked a United flight.

01:01:41.000 And I think there are still a few that are not banned from Anyway, so the point is it's not it's not over until it's over.

01:01:51.000 I don't believe it until it happens Because you know you they always pull the rug out from under.

01:01:57.000 I don't remember the last time it ever just happened So that's that but I want to move on I want to get on into our super chats and we'll see what you guys have to say about all this Let me get my
