00:00:00.000 He uses humor, and that's why we all fell in love with Milo.
00:00:03.000 He uses humor to convey his message.
00:00:06.000 And while it's very funny, you know, his impersonation and his jokes have all made us laugh today, this is far from a joke, right?
00:00:13.000 But humor is the way that a lot of us now deal with this because some of us have had everything taken from us.
00:00:22.000 And the media, the media will tell you that this is just about people who feel like they're being censored on Facebook and Twitter, people who feel like there's discrimination on social media.
00:00:33.000 But I'm here today as a living example and Milo as well to tell you that it has gone much further and the situation at hand is much graver than just a social media ban or social media bias.
00:00:45.000 We are currently living in a country where not only can we as conservative Americans not depend on the GOP establishment to fight back for us, but we are fighting a Democrat Party that has aligned itself with full-blown communists and jihadists who are conducting their very own jihad in the back there to annihilate our free speech rights, to make sure that quite frankly, we are all sent to what I like to call a digital gulag.
00:01:14.000 And it may seem extreme to you, right?
00:01:16.000 But this is just the first initiative, right?
00:01:21.000 The social media bans, banning people on Facebook, banning people on Instagram, banning people on Twitter, censoring them, sending them to Facebook jail for a few hours to see how far this can go.
00:01:34.000 What American politicians on both sides of the aisle need to wake up and realize, and what President Donald Trump needs to wake up and realize, is that if he doesn't make tech censorship and social media bias the number one campaign issue in this country, quite frankly, I truly do believe that we will lose our country.
00:01:52.000 You have banking institutions in America that are currently having advisory board meetings deciding whether or not left-wing organizations can come in and tell them whether conservatives can have access to bank accounts.
00:02:04.000 Bank of America is now refusing to do service with companies that are enforcing President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
00:02:12.000 Myself, Joe Biggs, Enrique Tario, Martina Markota, and several others have been banned by Chase Bank and had our accounts suspended temporarily simply because we're conservative.
00:02:24.000 Not only have I been banned by Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, I've been banned by PayPal, GoFundMe, Venmo, Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, Medium, Teespring, and I'm sure over time I'll probably be banned by other platforms as well.
00:02:41.000 And a lot of you are probably sitting there thinking to yourself, well, how do you get banned from Uber?
00:02:45.000 How do you get banned from Lyft?
00:02:47.000 How do you get banned from Uber Eats?
00:02:49.000 Just by being and existing as a conservative in this country, right?
00:02:53.000 And so while we're here today to demand free speech, I am here to tell you that this is not just about free speech.
00:02:58.000 This is about civil rights.
00:03:00.000 Not only is our free speech under attack, this is a civil rights violation that is taking place against most of the country, right?
00:03:09.000 Because most of the country voted for Donald Trump.
00:03:12.000 Despite what the left wants you to think, most of America supports Donald Trump.
00:03:16.000 I know the left is depending on the illegal alien vote to pull them through this election, but the silent majority, us, all of us who are here today, is who put President Trump in office.
00:03:29.000 And he has a duty to stand up and fight for us.
00:03:32.000 Because his biggest offenders, the people who put him in the White House, the people who got him elected, people like myself, people like Milo Yiannopoulos, Roger Stone, Gavin McGinnis, right?
00:03:45.000 Alex Jones.
00:03:47.000 We have all been silenced.
00:03:49.000 We have all been silenced and deplatformed.
00:03:52.000 And currently, before everyone's eyes, even though the media has turned a blind eye and has chosen not to report on this and to act as if we are some sort of neo-Nazi, white supremacist, alt-right fringe group, they don't care to report on the nature of this, is it's not just a free speech issue, it's a civil rights issue.
00:04:11.000 A lot more people here today.
00:04:19.000 There really are.
00:04:20.000 And I applaud all of you guys who came out today because, you know, in the wake of Antifa threatening to throw acid in the faces of attendees, right?
00:04:28.000 People, you see, Antifa is training overseas with members of ISIS, as reported by the FBI, okay?
00:04:35.000 Just last week in Portland, there was a video of members of Antifa chanting Allahu Akbar.
00:04:40.000 This is now the streets of America. 0.80
00:04:42.000 Who would have ever thought 10 years ago, walking down the street of America supporting your president, okay, being a proud American, being a conservative, would sentence you to have acid thrown in your face, to be beaten in the street like conservative journalist Andy No.
00:04:59.000 That is the America we are living in.
00:05:01.000 And if we don't fight back, and if we don't demand that President Trump and politicians, like I said, on both sides of the aisle, because it's despicable that this has now just become a conservative issue, free speech in this country isn't just for conservatives.
00:05:16.000 It's not just for Democrats.
00:05:18.000 It's for all Americans.
00:05:20.000 It's what makes us American.
00:05:22.000 The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is the thing that separates this country from every other country on this planet.
00:05:30.000 And we must do everything that we can to protect it.
00:05:33.000 You know?
00:05:34.000 And the struggle really is real.
00:05:36.000 What Milo said when he reminded you all of how the GOP is failing us.
00:05:40.000 Well, you know, when I went to Congress, when Jack Dorsey was testifying, when I had all of my social media accounts still, I stood up and I disrupted the congressional hearing, right?
00:05:51.000 And I called Jack Dorsey a liar because he was committing perjury when he was lying to members of Congress on our taxpayer dollars saying that he doesn't censor and shadow ban conservatives.
00:06:00.000 And I made a personal plea to President Trump and I said, President Trump, please help us before it is too late.
00:06:05.000 Because Jack Dorsey is silencing and censoring and shadow banning conservatives and this is how the Democrats are planning to steal the election.
00:06:14.000 All right?
00:06:14.000 That was almost a year ago.
00:06:16.000 And now I'm permanently banned.
00:06:18.000 And what do you know?
00:06:19.000 Any of you guys seen the latest Project Veritas exposés?
00:06:23.000 Right?
00:06:24.000 Yeah, we love James O'Keefe.
00:06:25.000 I used to work at Project Veritas.
00:06:27.000 You have executives working at Google, executives working at Facebook, executives working at Twitter, openly talking about how they have a plan to make sure that President Donald Trump is not elected again in 2020.
00:06:42.000 What do you think is going to happen to this country if not only if Republicans don't gain control of the House again, but if we lose the White House?
00:06:52.000 Do you think that the Democrats, do you think that the Democrats who are having their donor meetings with these executives from Facebook, people like Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Samberg, and the left-leaning, essentially communist executives at Google, do you think that they're going to be too kind once they get into the White House or once they have total control?
00:07:11.000 What do you think is going to happen?
00:07:13.000 If already now, with President Trump in the White House, this much censorship and deplatforming is taking place.
00:07:21.000 We're done.
00:07:22.000 We're going to lose our country and we're all going to get sent to the gulag, the digital gulag. 0.94
00:07:26.000 And if you think that's an exaggeration, well, you need to wake up and realize that the times we're living in now are the times of Nazi Germany. 0.71
00:07:34.000 The Holocaust didn't just begin with Jewish people being sent to the gas chambers and the ovens, okay?
00:07:40.000 The Holocaust began by dehumanizing and ostracizing an entire group of the population, okay, by dehumanizing them and committing acts of financial blacklisting by making lists. 0.80
00:07:54.000 You know, the SPLC, CNN, Daily Beast, a lot of these left-wing media opportunists, they love to make lists of conservatives, don't they?
00:08:01.000 They love calling us Nazis.
00:08:03.000 They love calling us haters.
00:08:04.000 They love calling us bigots.
00:08:06.000 What do you think that's going to lead to?
00:08:08.000 What do you think it's going to lead to when you have executives at social media companies labeling conservative individuals as dangerous, too dangerous for their platform while they allow for Antifa, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas to have accounts?
00:08:24.000 People need to wake up and realize how serious this situation is, you guys.
00:08:29.000 We are under attack, and we must do everything in our power to fight back.
00:08:33.000 And, you know, the social media summit, it's on July 11th at the White House.
00:08:39.000 And you can see the disconnect from the White House and the American people with regards to the issue of tech censorship when you look at the invitee list.
00:08:47.000 There's not a single person on that list who was invited who has been banned or deplatformed.
00:08:52.000 Not a single person.
00:08:55.000 And so as White House officials and President Trump and other social media personalities gather on that social media summit, I hope they take a moment of silence or some time to really think about those of us who have sacrificed it all.
00:09:08.000 Those of us who have not only lost our social media accounts, but have lost our livelihood.
00:09:13.000 Those of us who are shut down by our bank accounts.
00:09:16.000 Those of us who literally have to travel with bodyguards when we go out public because we face threats of acid attacks and terrorist threats.
00:09:24.000 Terrorist threats.
00:09:26.000 You know, I don't want to talk too much about my own personal situation.
00:09:29.000 A lot of you know what has happened to me.
00:09:31.000 But, you know, in April, I filed a lawsuit against Twitter, and that's how I'm fighting back.
00:09:35.000 I'm fighting back with litigation, but it costs a lot of money, and not all people can afford that.
00:09:40.000 I can't even afford it, right?
00:09:41.000 I had to have a crowdfund at freeloomer.com to raise a legal defense.
00:09:46.000 But how we can fight back is demanding accountability from our representatives and demanding that President Trump make tech censorship and social media bias a top campaign priority.
00:09:57.000 Because I'm telling you right now, you know, Milo likes to joke about how I'm always saying that I'm right, but I am, right?
00:10:04.000 I am.
00:10:06.000 I was criticized and lambasted by both the left and the right.
00:10:10.000 When I confronted Dorsey in Congress or when I handcuffed myself to Twitter, people said it was too extreme.
00:10:16.000 But look what is happening.
00:10:18.000 You know, an act of peaceful protest is not extreme.
00:10:21.000 What's extreme is completely deplatforming conservatives simply because they support President Donald Trump and have conservative values.
00:10:28.000 What's extreme is walking outside and being afraid to speak your voice and speak up for America and support your president out of fear of getting attacked by Antifa and having acid thrown in your face.
00:10:41.000 Right?
00:10:42.000 So I'm calling on President Donald Trump to listen to individuals who truly have been deplatformed, to hear our struggle, and to understand that this isn't just an issue of free speech.
00:10:52.000 It's now a civil rights violation that is taking place against his supporters.
00:10:56.000 And all of you, all of you have a duty right now.
00:10:59.000 A lot of you probably have already been banned and shut down, but if you haven't, call your representatives.
00:11:04.000 Write letters to the White House.
00:11:06.000 You know, conservatives are constantly making excuses like Milo had said, I'm too busy.
00:11:11.000 I have a job.
00:11:12.000 You know, protesting is for the left.
00:11:13.000 It's now your duty.
00:11:14.000 If you want to live in a free America, if you want to have free speech, if you want Donald Trump to get re-elected and you don't want to live under communism, then you have a duty to get out in the street and protest.
00:11:25.000 You have a duty to start fighting back.
00:11:27.000 And you have a duty to demand free speech at any cost and all costs whatsoever.
00:11:33.000 So I just want to say thank you again to all of you who came out here today.
00:11:37.000 Thank you.
00:11:38.000 I love you guys, Sarah.
00:11:39.000 Thanks, Laura.
00:11:44.000 Thanks.
00:11:44.000 Can we get a stop the bias chat going?
00:11:47.000 The bias!
00:12:03.000 to be chanting that until we get what we want and that's protection to say what we want and do what we want and you know to just freely have our first amendment rights without fear of being attacked And so thank you so much.
00:12:15.000 If you would like to continue following my fight against free, to demand free speech and my fight against the Silicon Valley censors, you can go to freeloomer.com.
00:12:25.000 I just want to say thank you to all of you who have supported me.
00:12:28.000 I don't get to reply to everybody now that I'm banned, but I truly appreciate all of you.
00:12:34.000 I love all of you so much for being here today and for supporting everybody who has been banned.
00:12:39.000 It truly means a lot to me.
00:12:41.000 So, thank you so much.
