A secret meeting between Elon Musk and the employees of Twitter has been leaked, and we ve got the receipts. Joining me today is the great Libby Emmons from The Post Millennial to break it all down.
00:00:32.420It's Charlie Kirk, Tucker, Steve Bannon, Benny Johnson, Senator Hawley, Kayleigh McEnany, Candace Owens, the great Tim Poole, Lauren Chen, Mike Lindell himself, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Ali Stuckey.
00:00:45.220Look, if you're not there, I don't even know where you're going to be.
00:01:51.060This is about freedom of speech itself.
00:01:53.660This is about the fight for the future, the new public square.
00:01:58.100And so we need to analyze every single one of these new moves through that lens, through the lens of whether or not we will have actual freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of dialogue here in the United States and the West writ large.
00:02:15.040Or if we will go back to the censorious regime of the last six years, because let's keep in mind.
00:02:21.3402016 happened and then the ban hammer, the censorship and the dark ages began.
00:02:29.340If 2016 hadn't happened, they would have left the Internet completely free and open.
00:02:34.280And these organizations like the Integrity Initiative, these NATO funded cabals and coalitions, they wouldn't exist.
00:02:41.600They wouldn't have gotten any traction.
00:02:43.280Why? Because the original idea was that the Internet should always be open and free following the ideals of the First Amendment.
00:02:52.100This is the fight we are in that we have to fight first before we can go to anything else.
00:02:57.460Because if we do not have the ability to speak, if our tongues are ripped out of our mouths, we will not have the ability to debate any other issue.
00:04:05.380That's actually really funny, but I bet that's not what happens.
00:04:09.500I don't know. I'm just saying Elon's known as an unorthodox kind of kind of player there.
00:04:13.880Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if people were really mad about it and I were Elon Musk, I'd want to talk to him about it and see what their issue was.
00:04:21.660Perhaps that's true. You know, the people who are most upset about the potential return to a free speech oriented platform would be the ones who should probably be first to go because they're not going to be able to uphold the values of this company.
00:04:35.640No, I think that's exactly it, because, you know, not only that, but you see these videos and it's not just Twitter.
00:04:43.000You know, obviously, we saw Facebook meta take this huge stock plunge recently, just in the past 24 hours after trading yesterday, even after we recorded the show.
00:04:53.060And then today, just absolutely in the tank, because at the end of the day, Facebook doesn't provide any actual service to the world.
00:04:58.860Twitter has got the monopoly on on news and politics. Right. That's really what Twitter is.
00:05:05.200They just got the monopoly on that. And really, it's sports is a huge issue for it as well, as well as entertainment media.
00:05:11.980But when it comes to Facebook, you know, Google, of course, they've got Gmail, they got Google Calendar, Google Maps.
00:05:17.820They've got the search. Those are service based Facebook. I don't know what that's for.
00:05:22.620And then even Instagram, they've been trying to get people to push ahead with these reels and this new content.
00:05:29.120But TikTok is just, you know, for all that we can say about TikTok, it's clearly eating up the entire market when it comes to that.
00:05:36.060And certainly for young people, even though I do believe that it's a CCP control mind control virus that they're infecting.
00:05:42.540I agree. I know. But but the point is, they've got the market share.
00:05:48.000I don't know what's driving anyone to sign up for Facebook or any of the meta products right now.
00:05:53.060But let's get back to Twitter a minute, because when it comes down to it, right, you have these people in tech posting these videos constantly like they're in some kind of adult daycare.
00:06:04.200And they all have this weird sort of it's like a cross between Valley Girl and Vocal Fry and Uptalk.
00:06:09.800So today I took my first meeting at six in the morning.
00:06:14.400I got there. I had my breakfast. Obviously, I got my coffee.
00:06:18.980They also they all use the word obviously wrong, by the way.
00:06:33.660A matcha smoothie. Yeah. Get rid of all of those.
00:06:36.060Get rid of all of these like weird, you know, relaxation rooms that don't seem to have anybody in them.
00:06:42.160You know, I wanted to basically look. Yeah, I wanted pretty much to look like the look when I was in the Navy.
00:06:50.240Right. And we visited. So Tanya and I were when we were in Baton Rouge over the weekend.
00:06:54.440We visited a an old World War Two destroyer that they have there in the Mississippi River.
00:06:58.880And you go on that ship. I mean, there's it's you want to talk no frills. Right.
00:07:02.940And they pointed out, they said, well, how could people live like this for months on end?
00:07:06.300And there's a little plaque that said, well, the the cramped living quarters and the low spaces and the fact that there is nowhere else to go was would have been pretty normal for someone who had grown up during the Great Depression, like most sailors did during World War Two.
00:07:22.900So they were used to it as opposed to what we have today.
00:07:25.080And I said, I'm good with that. That's how that's how all the employees of Twitter should work.
00:07:30.100I mean, I want this to be a cross between like Wolf of Wall Street and, you know, the thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters, you know, kind of thing.
00:07:40.300And then also those World War Two cramped conditions when you're in the Navy.
00:07:43.220I think if we find that Venn diagram of people who just want to be there to work and actually turn a profit, then we're good.
00:07:49.920I also loved what Elon said. I don't know if it was in this private meeting or not, but he said he said, look, people are free.
00:07:57.820Twitter employees are free to work from home as much as they want, just not for Twitter.
00:08:03.080Right. You know, I think you're really hitting on something because Americans have severely lost the desire to work.
00:08:09.780They've lost an understanding of the value of hard work as well.
00:08:13.380And we see this all over the place. We see this with this, you know, ridiculous, soft quitting trend or the Broadway actress who said that she was only going to give 75 percent in her performances because, you know, she thought that's just what it called for.
00:08:28.940And I think this is ridiculous. Hard work is relevant. It's important.
00:08:32.940It's meaningful. And it's what keeps our civilization moving forward.
00:08:36.820All of these people who don't want to work hard. Why is anyone giving these people jobs?
00:08:41.800What is it that they're possibly even contributing?
00:08:44.700Do you guys out there in the audience have any opinions on this?

00:10:02.320Because I was doing the whole OK Groomer thing, and they didn't like that, and they put me in timeout.
00:10:07.780You know, double secret probation, and it wore off.
00:10:10.580And I came back, and I had to go poke the bear, and I went to the same people and said,
00:10:15.300OK, child sexualization specialist, which I thought was really clever.
00:10:20.120Well, wait, because they – but hold on.
00:10:21.660But I see what you're doing there, because they told you that you couldn't say Groomer anymore.
00:10:25.660So you said, all right, I'm not going to say Groomer, but you have to say something.
