Elon Musk planning to reverse all permanent bans from Twitter, a re-platforming, all the
00:00:12.360
veterans of the great meme war of 2015 and 16 are coming back, the gulags are coming
00:00:20.900
open, massive, we're going to break that down, but first I want to remind you guys that AmFest

00:00:58.800
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning
00:01:02.800
Point USA, today is October 5th, 2022, Anno Domini, tonight's top stories, Elon Musk plans
00:01:10.800
to reverse all permanent Twitter bans after his purchase goes through and massive layoffs
00:01:17.500
are coming next, an NBC reporter unwittingly implies that Twitter censorship favors liberals
00:01:24.540
in elections, oops, third, the Biden administration's secret deal with OPEC has been exposed and finally
00:01:31.600
a BLM attorney is sued after his client received, oh look at this, zero dollars from a GoFundMe
00:01:38.300
fundraiser, all this and we're ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:01:51.500
WeChat's actually a good model, if you're in China, it's basically, you kind of live on WeChat,
00:01:56.780
it does everything, it's sort of like Twitter plus PayPal plus a whole bunch of other things
00:02:01.620
and we'll roll into one with actually a great interface and it's really an excellent app
00:02:05.800
and we don't have anything like that outside of China. So, I think such an app would be really
00:02:14.380
useful, just like the utility of it, of sort of a spam-free thing where you can make comments,
00:02:22.840
you can post videos, you know, I think it's important for content creators to have a revenue
00:02:26.120
share. Now, this does not need to be done on Twitter, it could be done from something that's
00:02:31.380
created from scratch. But it's either convert Twitter to that or start something new, those
00:02:36.440
are the two, but it does need to happen somehow.
00:02:39.180
So, huge news on the Twitter front, Elon Musk, and the New York Times even has this, referring
00:02:47.720
to Elon Musk's text messages that were released in part of the lawsuit that, if you remember,
00:02:53.860
the lawsuit was going to go through. The text messages had already come out, they had already
00:02:58.680
been released, unsealed, but that's now been dropped. They're looking at dropping the entire
00:03:05.580
lawsuit completely. The deal's on the table, go through with it, Elon becomes the sole proprietor
00:03:12.080
of Twitter. However, in one of the text messages, he stated that Elon Musk told the CEO of Twitter
00:03:21.700
that he wants to, and I'm quoting, reverse all permanent Twitter bans. That means if you're on the left,
00:03:32.160
if you're on the right, if you're on the center, if you were permanently banned from Twitter,
00:03:38.040
that after his purchase, we're talking about a blanket amnesty, that he's directly noticing
00:03:45.140
that this has been one of the major obstacles to growth when it comes to Twitter. Because think about
00:03:52.640
it, if you're sitting there saying, well, I want to go on this platform, oh, that platform is going to
00:03:57.680
ban you if you say this, this, and this. If you ask questions about bio mandates from the government,
00:04:04.380
if you ask questions about the election, if you have questions about what's going on with our money
00:04:09.800
overseas, you can be banned, you can be shadow banned, you can be throttled. Just the news had
00:04:13.820
the story, by the way, about how myself, Charlie Kirk, and so many others, the US government is working
00:04:19.740
with a consortium, right? I love these, of nonprofit groups, Stanford and others, to shadow ban us
00:04:27.200
directly. And this has been going on since 2020. Completely illegal, by the way. Elon Musk wants to
00:04:34.760
turn all of that back. So I had a great discussion today with Gabe Hoffman, Excipitor Capital, hedge fund
00:04:42.920
guy. And he made a couple of really, really smart points in terms of this. He said, if Elon Musk comes
00:04:50.320
over, and he will eventually be the one to take over it, because he's got the contract, that you're
00:04:56.720
going to see mass layoffs at Twitter. Now, of course, the way the New York Times is framing this is, oh,
00:05:01.240
there's going to be an exodus, it's an employee revolt, they don't want to work for him. No, no,
00:05:05.940
it's not even that. The issue is that Twitter is bloated. It has too many people working, there's way too
00:05:11.680
much overhead, not enough profit. So what do you do? You get rid of that. You cut the fat. And I say,
00:05:17.600
Elon, start with the CEO. Day one, gone. Anyone on the trust and safety team, gone. Anyone responsible
00:05:24.480
for banning people, for flagging tweets, gone. Get rid of all of them. Go scorched earth on Twitter.
00:05:32.600
Take out every single one of these people who think that they have the right to determine your free
00:05:38.720
speech. Take them out. And then number two, when we played the shot just there, played the clip
00:05:43.980
that Elon's talking about WeChat. So what does He WeChat do? WeChat is considered a super app. Now,
00:05:50.640
Elon, you better not be working with the CCP on this, because if you are, there's going to be
00:05:55.060
problems. And when the new majority comes in next year, we're going to make sure that this doesn't
00:05:59.960
happen. No data on the servers in the People's Republic of China, like that guy in LA found out.
00:06:05.160
No, no, no, no, no. What we want is very simple. We want an app where we're allowed to talk,
00:06:13.200
where we're allowed to speak freely, and that you aren't in the business of determining what's true
00:06:18.800
and what's not true. You're just in the business of providing a communications platform. But what
00:06:23.140
Elon has also talked about is, obviously, we know, of course, Elon Musk comes from the PayPal mafia.
00:06:28.360
He was going to make sure that pay, so PayPal is going to be integrated, or maybe even a new system,
00:06:32.960
Twitter pay, instituting in this, phone calling, video calling, the idea that you, so you'll be
00:06:39.040
able to swipe your phone, right? When you go to purchase something, movie tickets or food,
00:06:44.260
use Twitter pay, boom, goes directly for that. Then probably your Uber, everything else completely
00:06:51.760
integrated within the app. The other one, integrate with Rumble. If Twitter integrates with Rumble,
00:06:56.720
it will be profitable overnight. There's billions of dollars to be made.
00:07:02.960
By now, you've all heard the latest inflation numbers. And while the country suffers and the
00:07:08.060
stock market has had its worst day in over two years, the Biden administration have thrown a
00:07:12.000
party. This economy is not well, and the Fed is likely to continue raising interest rates. That's
00:07:17.540
why I recommend you diversify with gold and silver now. And the only company I recommend is Allegiance
00:07:22.160
Gold. My friends at Allegiance Gold can help you protect your IRA or 401k with physical gold and
00:07:27.040
silver, or if you prefer, have it delivered securely right to your front door. Their approach is
00:07:31.640
different. They focus on educating and developing a long-term strategy that's right for you.
00:07:36.400
That's why Allegiance Gold has some of the highest ratings in the entire industry.
00:07:40.240
Five stars with TrustLink, AAA rated with the Business and Consumer Alliance, and an A-plus from
00:07:44.240
the Better Business Bureau. We've set up a new portal for this, protectwithposo.com.
00:07:50.640
When you go to protectwithposo.com, you get the best offer yet, up to $2,500 of free silver
00:07:58.180
on a qualifying purchase when you tell them that Poso sent you. We cannot control the Biden
00:08:03.100
administration, but we can prepare. Protectwithposo.com. That's protectwithposo.com.
00:08:09.980
Mr. Dorsey, does Twitter have the ability to influence elections?
00:08:22.020
You don't believe Twitter has any ability to influence elections?
00:08:26.260
No. We are one part of a spectrum of communication channels that people have.
00:08:30.880
So you're testified to this committee right now that Twitter, when it silences people,
00:08:36.220
when it censors people, when it blocks political speech, that has no impact on elections?
00:08:41.300
People have choice of other communication channels with which—
00:08:44.820
Not if they don't hear information. If you don't think you have the power to influence
00:08:53.240
Well, we have policies that are focused on making sure that more voices on the platform are possible.
00:08:58.540
We see a lot of abuse and harassment, which ends up silencing people and having them leave
00:09:04.280
I love that, right? Well, I mean, I mean, did you know, did you know that they've said that
00:09:12.120
the Hunter Biden laptop story had been known to voters that eventually voted to undecided voters
00:09:19.840
who went for Biden, if that had been known in just three states, in three states, the 10% of
00:09:26.680
those people have said that they would have changed their votes. That would have swung the
00:09:31.460
entire election right there. But because Twitter and Facebook censored that story, censored everyone
00:09:38.400
who even shared that story, blocked people from being able to share that story. It wasn't
00:09:48.220
Well, an NBC reporter, you know, a true reporter, a true just total sycophant hatchet man for
00:09:56.740
his corporate oligarch bosses at Comcast, by the name of Ben Collins, put up a tweet last
00:10:03.060
night while losing his mind over the fact that Elon Musk might be buying Twitter. And here's
00:10:09.400
what he wrote. He said, we'll be buying Twitter, I should say.
00:10:11.360
For those of you who ask, yes, I do think this site can and will change pretty dramatically
00:10:17.020
if Musk gets full control over it. No, there's no immediate replacement. If it gets done early
00:10:22.380
enough, based on the people he's aligned with, yes, it could actually affect midterms.
00:10:30.080
And the same guy had just been tweeting recently, or just prior to this, about the text messages
00:10:35.180
where Elon was saying about letting this idea of a reverse on all permanent Twitter bans come
00:10:43.060
off. So what does this mean? This means that he's implicitly stating, right, the subtext
00:10:53.240
of his tweet here is that the people at these companies have had a revolving door, toxic relationship
00:11:01.920
with the platforms like Twitter, like Facebook, like YouTube, that their ability to flag quote
00:11:11.880
unquote disinformation actually has the ability to swing elections. Well, let me tell you a little
00:11:20.340
story about Ben Collins of NBC. In 2020, I publicly offered the Hunter Biden hard drive to anyone
00:11:31.900
who wanted to offer it to Joe Rogan. I offered it to Jake Tapper of CNN constantly. I said, if you
00:11:38.620
want this hard drive, I will make you a copy of it and I'll give it to you. Give it to you right now.
00:11:43.920
Still will, by the way. Jake Tapper, hit me up. Joe Rogan, anytime you want it, it's yours.
00:11:51.160
Mark Cuban, believe it or not, Mark Cuban responded to me in 2020 and said, I'd like to take a look at it,
00:11:59.700
but I want to invite some people along with me to verify the contents. And I said, okay,
00:12:06.380
who do you want to bring? One of the people that he mentioned was Ben Collins from NBC,
00:12:11.980
because I guess he thought that this was just a person who determined, you know, what's information
00:12:17.840
and what's disinformation. Ben Collins decided, proceeded to respond to Mark Cuban by screaming
00:12:25.440
about me, calling me names, attacking me, losing his mind, freaking out again and again and again
00:12:32.580
and again that Mark Cuban would even be talking to me and eventually killed any momentum that we would
00:12:38.940
have had going forward. So Ben Collins actively worked to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story
00:12:47.080
coming out from me when I had a copy of that hard drive two years ago this month in October of 2020.
00:12:54.580
And now he's admitting because he's not stupid. He knows exactly what he did and he knows exactly
00:13:01.160
what his job is. His job is to protect his corporate oligarchs and to get his preferred candidates
00:13:08.800
into office by denying you the ability to see the truth.
00:13:16.040
Putin's war is already hurting American families at the gas pump. Since Putin began his military buildup
00:13:21.500
on Ukrainian borders, just since then, the price of the gas of the pump in America went up 75 cents.
00:13:28.500
And with this action, it's going to go up further. I'm going to do everything I can to minimize Putin's price
00:13:34.100
hike here at home. In coordination with our partners, we've already announced that we're releasing
00:13:38.380
60 million barrels of oil from our joint oil reserves. Half of that 30 billion million, excuse
00:13:46.120
me, is coming from the United States. And we're taking steps to ensure the reliable supply of global
00:13:51.820
energy. We're also going to keep working with every tool at our disposal to protect American families
00:13:57.740
and businesses. So that's what President Biden said earlier on when he started emptying our
00:14:06.840
nation's strategic petroleum reserve so that he could help his own flagging midterm numbers.
00:14:16.780
The United States was not in an energy crisis when Biden came into office. It wasn't. If anything,
00:14:24.560
we had energy surplus. We had energy independence. We had energy dominance. We're selling it on the
00:14:30.900
open market. But then suddenly he comes in, he cuts production. Then he exacerbates the situation
00:14:37.960
in Eurasia and then leads us into essentially a proxy war with Russia. We are in a proxy war with
00:14:46.760
Russia. I don't know why we don't talk about that more. That's what this is. You think it's just
00:14:50.620
about Ukraine. No, it's a proxy war between the United States and Russia. Okay.
00:14:56.900
Then this is just the genius of this administration after doing all that cuts our oil supply domestically
00:15:07.520
goes after this proxy, pursues this proxy war, doesn't try by the way to deescalate. No,
00:15:17.620
no, no. Everything he does is try to escalate the situation worse and worse. And we see that every
00:15:22.780
single day. Now we're at the brink of nuclear war. Thanks, Joe Biden. What do we see here next?
00:15:29.440
We've now found out that apparently the Biden administration made a secret deal with OPEC
00:15:38.160
in order to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Listen to this. This is from Michael
00:15:48.400
Schellenberger, Substack. The White House made a secret offer to buy up to 200 million barrels of
00:15:55.020
OPEC oil to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, SPR, in exchange for OPEC not cutting oil
00:16:02.120
production. What the officials said was that the White House wanted to reassure OPEC that the U.S.
00:16:06.960
won't leave them hanging out to dry. Can anybody think of what the problem with that might be?
00:16:15.760
Well, the problem with that might be what if OPEC, who has all the leverage in this situation,
00:16:26.040
again, you have no leverage here in this deal. So what if OPEC says, you know what? We don't like
00:16:34.200
you anymore. We don't want to go off on this deal because if we cut production, we can get oil to $100
00:16:42.600
a barrel. We could get oil to $200 a barrel. So screw your wussy little deal. We're going to cut
00:16:50.800
production anyway. And guess what? That's exactly what OPEC has just announced. They had a meeting in
00:16:58.380
Vienna. They have agreed to a 2 million barrel a day cut in oil. This is going to send the cost of
00:17:08.300
oil skyrocketing. It's going to send the price at the pump skyrocketing. And it's all because the
00:17:16.260
idiots, the spoiled little rich kids running our White House day in and day out from Blackrock and
00:17:23.160
Blackstone and everything else, Buttigieg from McKinsey, they think they know what they're doing.
00:17:30.500
You dumped our strategic petroleum reserve to try to help the markets when you didn't even keep it
00:17:39.100
on hand for an actual crisis like what's going on in Florida right now, what's right, what's going on
00:17:45.900
in terms of the hurricane, the natural disasters. That's what our strategic reserve is supposed to be
00:17:52.080
for. Or, God forbid, the United States actually goes to war. If we get invaded somehow. These idiots.
00:18:02.520
Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of your own actions.
00:18:11.180
I guess Biden doesn't wear a hat, but if he did, he should take it off, shove it into his mouth and eat it.
00:18:17.160
A part of the lawsuit reads that of the $1,039,260 raised through GoFundMe and managed by Crump's law
00:18:27.800
firm, not one single penny has been turned over to the plaintiff for the benefit of Dante Jr. And
00:18:34.020
despite her claiming in this lawsuit that she was promised up front, any GoFundMe proceeds would be
00:18:38.880
split 50-50 between Wright's family and Dante Jr. to make sure he's being taken care of.
00:18:44.220
Omar, how has Ben Crump responded to this lawsuit?
00:18:47.940
Well, basically, John, at this point, Ben Crump is saying that this has nothing to do with me because
00:18:52.940
I didn't manage any funds. And he sent me a statement that reads, in part, this is strictly a
00:18:57.940
family dispute between the mother of Dante Wright's child and Dante's parents who set up the GoFundMe
00:19:03.400
account in question. Ben Crump law did not benefit from any of the funds raised, and we did not accept
00:19:09.820
any fees in this case. Our hearts are always with the family, and we pray that they can find
00:19:15.220
resolution. Well, well, well. Black Lives Matter favorite lawyer, Ben Crump, Benjamin Crump.
00:19:26.220
He always represents the people in the Black Lives Matter cases. He represented George Floyd's family.
00:19:31.700
He's been sued after a client received zero dollars from a one million dollar GoFundMe that was put
00:19:41.900
together. And this, of course, from the great Natalie Winters over at the National Pulse. This
00:19:47.700
writes, the mother of Dante Wright failed to receive one single penny from the GoFundMe. This was the
00:19:58.720
this was the individual who was killed in the Kim Potter case. Kim Potter was the officer that mistook
00:20:04.580
her gun. Excuse me. She mistook her taser for a gun, pulls out the gun, thinking it's the taser,
00:20:14.700
and proceeds to shoot and kill him. Civil lawsuit was filed. The GoFundMe was launched. They said they
00:20:20.900
would split it 50-50. They never, ever split it, according to this lawsuit. Crump is a high-profile
00:20:27.040
attorney, notably representing the families of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor,
00:20:32.520
and many others that have been exploited by the far-left BLM movement. Whitaker emphasized how
00:20:37.500
Crump promised that she and her son would be taken care of, though her promises never materialized.
00:20:45.280
Whitaker's attorneys say that the single mother hasn't received financial advice for anything.
00:20:48.700
Crump hadn't, now they're claiming, listen to this, now they're claiming that the lawsuit notes that if
00:20:56.940
Crump hadn't promised Whitaker, she would have set up her own account. So we've seen this as a
00:21:05.540
pattern at this point. It's become a pattern that the Black Lives Matter organization, the people
00:21:10.520
associated with it, they're scammers. It's a scam organization. They're bigger scammers than Sean
00:21:16.520
White, okay? Patrice Cullors and others, they're in it so they can purchase homes.
00:21:24.560
When you look at some of the guys that were involved with the original BLM, they're gone,
00:21:28.240
not even involved with it anymore because they got their money, they took their money and ran.
00:21:33.280
And then you got this guy, Crump. Well, I swear he's got like a teleportation device because every
00:21:38.420
time one of these incidents happens, he pops right up and then goes and settles the case.
00:21:43.340
The cities don't even bother suing anymore because they see Ben Crump. They know that the media circus
00:21:49.060
and the left-wing reality machine is going to be turned on them. They just settle.
00:21:54.220
They don't even bother. So all that money comes out of the city and goes straight into the pocket of
00:21:59.820
Ben Crump and apparently not going in to the pocket of the families of the victims. Very well,
00:22:06.840
when you're dealing with crooks, you should expect to get robbed. And that's what you've been doing
00:22:14.320
all along when you deal with Black Lives Matter.
00:22:17.560
And that's all the time we have today here on Humid Events Daily. Remember, as always,
00:22:27.380
our promise, our oath, our solemn vow to you. Be good, be brief, be gone. Your homework for us.
00:22:30.980
Share this out with one, just one of your normie friends and then leave us your five-star review.
00:22:35.420
Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your politics. What did we talk about today? Elon Musk planning
00:22:41.920
to reverse all permanent bans on Twitter. Massive layoffs coming. Huge. Incredible. Next,
00:22:49.980
the NBC reporter unwittingly implying that Twitter censorship has favored and helped liberals in

elections. Third, the Biden administration's secret deal with OPEC. And then finally, a BLM attorney,
00:23:00.760
Ben Crump, sued after his client received zero dollars from the GoFundMe fundraiser. So much
00:23:08.780
that's going on. By the way, I want to remind you guys that this Sunday,
00:23:11.920
we are going to have the battle for the border as our Sunday special. We're going to be dropping it
00:23:18.880
as well as the fact that you can go. So watch that here on Real America's Voice. And then if you have
00:23:24.080
time, go to Salem now and check out Border Battle, the new special that's just come out from Turning
00:23:30.700
Point USA. So this Sunday, it'll be myself, Sheriff Mark Lamb from Pinal County. We've taped the interview
00:23:36.760
already. It's fantastic. It is an hour long understanding digression. And it's really it's
00:23:43.580
really a monograph on everything that's going on on our border and how it's affecting everyone in the
00:23:49.920
entire country. But before we go, it's time for today's history break. On this day, October 5th,
00:23:56.280
1964, the largest mass escape since the construction of the Berlin Wall occurred as 57 East German refugees
00:24:04.240
escaped to West Berlin after tunneling beneath the wall. Go watch the movie Lives of Others. If you
00:24:09.700
haven't seen it, if you have, watch it again. Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission
