Louder with Crowder - #376 BIG TECH PURGES CONSERVATIVES?! Paul Joseph Watson, Mark Levin Guest | Louder With Crowder

00:00:00.000 Camera's rolling?

00:00:00.000 Yep.

00:00:01.000 Sounds good.

00:00:04.000 I mean, I wish I could say that none of us saw this coming, but the truth is, all of us for sure did.

00:00:10.000 All of us.

00:00:11.000 For sure did.

00:00:13.000 I mean, we knew it was always just a matter of time.

00:00:16.000 You know, after Alex Jones, we knew it was in the cards for a lot of people.

00:00:20.000 We'd already been demonetized quite a bit.

00:00:24.000 Not to mention the restrictions.

00:00:26.000 The restricted mode's been really bad for us, and outright suspensions.

00:00:31.000 Had no choice, they forced her hand.

00:00:34.000 Creating Mug Club.

00:00:36.000 The thing about Crowder is, and this is a well-known secret in the industry, he demonetizes his own videos to sell more mugs.

00:00:48.000 Who told you that?

00:02:20.000 Let me get my iPad away from the water that came out of the mug there.

00:02:23.000 We're just enthusiastic this week.

00:02:25.000 It's been a big week.

00:02:26.000 We have a lot to talk about.

00:02:27.000 We have some great guests today.

00:02:28.000 We have Paul Joseph Watson on the show.

00:02:30.000 Boom.

00:02:30.000 Prison Planet, Info Wars.

00:02:31.000 He's probably out of a job soon, so maybe you'll see him here.

00:02:34.000 We have the great one Mark Levin here.

00:02:36.000 Pretty happy about that.

00:02:37.000 And before we get to the guests that we have here in studio and the topics we'll be talking about today, of course, social media, the tech giants, the de-platforming, and we're going to have my lawyer, actually, half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, to talk about that.

00:02:47.000 Let me ask you, question of the day.

00:02:49.000 Social media giants, obviously, they've started another round of purges against figures as they see it being on the far right, or as we know it, just not the far left.

00:02:57.000 The question is, now that we're beyond Alex Jones, where's the line?

00:03:01.000 Do you think they have a line?

00:03:02.000 Do you have a line?

00:03:03.000 And what actions do you think should be taken against these Leviathans, if any, when it comes to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook?

00:03:08.000 Now I'm all wet.

00:03:09.000 I have to fix this, but I always do it with my arm.

00:03:12.000 Dancing with us.

00:03:12.000 Dancing too hard.

00:03:13.000 Look, you can see this. 0.94

00:03:14.000 This is disgusting! 1.00

00:03:16.000 Everything sucks! 0.99

00:03:18.000 All right, producing, of course, first week without Nakajima. 0.98

00:03:21.000 We see him around every now and then. 0.62

00:03:22.000 He's a quarter black. 1.00

00:03:23.000 Garrett, you are a quarter black. 1.00

00:03:24.000 I am, for sure. 0.99

00:03:24.000 Follow you on Twitter. 0.99

00:03:25.000 There you go.

00:03:26.000 Look.

00:03:26.000 Yeah, that's the worst podcast I've ever seen.

00:03:28.000 It's only a quarter, so I can't do it that good.

00:03:30.000 My friend got a Cuban cigar that was so clearly faked on the label it was misspelled.

00:03:36.000 That was the equivalent to that in a hood pass.

00:03:38.000 Huge Pianist, hugepianist.com.

00:03:40.000 Owen Benjamin is in third chair with us today.

00:03:42.000 How are you, Owen?

00:03:43.000 It's great to be back.

00:03:44.000 I now realize I do have to go to the shirt store because I showed up and now I realize that I'm wearing a similar shirt.

00:03:51.000 I'm proud to be twins.

00:03:51.000 You have dates coming up in Houston, right?

00:03:53.000 I do.

00:03:54.000 I got dates all over.

00:03:54.000 Go to hugepianist.com to check it out and get my last specials.

00:03:58.000 Yes, there are a lot of specials.

00:03:59.000 Hey, speaking of specials, you know who's a special guy?

00:04:01.000 Who's a special guy?

00:04:01.000 The guy who we have here, G. Morgan Jr.

00:04:03.000 He's buying wine today, so he'll be back next Monday, but he's gone.

00:04:06.000 So, my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond is in the studio.

00:04:07.000 It's good to have you, Bill.

00:04:09.000 Thanks for having me.

00:04:10.000 Are you really glad to be here?

00:04:11.000 I am excited.

00:04:11.000 Because you have a new baby and we're going to be talking about Facebook and Twitter.

00:04:14.000 Yeah, you know what?

00:04:15.000 We're helping to fix the world so it's a better world for him to live in.

00:04:18.000 Nice.

00:04:19.000 Very nice, Bill.

00:04:20.000 I'm pretty sure Skynet will have fallen by then, probably.

00:04:23.000 I wouldn't worry about it.

00:04:25.000 In other news, let's get to this first 2018 news, I should say.

00:04:28.000 Christine Hallquist could be elected the first ever transgender governor on Tuesday.

00:04:34.000 She won the Democrat primary, becoming the first trans... Now, this is, by the way, in Vermont.

00:04:39.000 So, whoever wins a Democrat primary, very likely to win the general, in case you didn't know.

00:04:45.000 And this has prompted Vermont's own Ben & Jerry's to release a string of new inspired flavors, actually, quite a few.

00:04:50.000 So this brings us to this week's Crowder 7 Plus 1.

00:04:52.000 You forgot the van in the chamber!

00:04:58.000 That's right, Ben & Jerry's Top 7 Transgender-Themed Ice Creams.

00:05:02.000 I know, by the way, there are Republicans elected in Vermont.

00:05:05.000 I know, even as governor.

00:05:06.000 But this is, in this case, in a primary.

00:05:09.000 You need one that's going to be a size 12 shoe anyway.

00:05:11.000 She is a size 12.

00:05:11.000 Yeah!

00:05:15.000 Bill, coming in hot!

00:05:17.000 He didn't know if he should say that one.

00:05:18.000 We should talk about Offer.

00:05:19.000 Can I say it?

00:05:20.000 I'm like, what is wrong with you? 0.87

00:05:21.000 Offer, you're the biggest smartass in the world.

00:05:23.000 You think you have to be respectful. 0.78

00:05:25.000 If I had written that joke, I would have stood up to deliver it.

00:05:27.000 Yes!

00:05:28.000 I would have been very proud of that.

00:05:30.000 I am standing up, and yet I'm still shorter than you.

00:05:32.000 Like your father did at your SMU law graduation, but your mom stayed seated because she was disappointed you weren't a doctor. 0.92

00:05:36.000 Yes, yes, and she remains seated to this day, disappointed.

00:05:39.000 Did you know that?

00:05:39.000 It's actually true.

00:05:40.000 What's that?

00:05:41.000 He has a tiger mom and she wishes he were a doctor.

00:05:44.000 Being, like, an awesome half-Asian lawyer isn't good enough? 1.00

00:05:47.000 No, no, not at all, not at all.

00:05:48.000 Whoa.

00:05:49.000 Alright!

00:05:50.000 My mom's just really happy I have a driver's license.

00:05:53.000 I have a Class C license.

00:05:54.000 Did you ever have that as an actor?

00:05:55.000 Like, you gotta get your Class C for motorcycle.

00:05:57.000 It's a huge deal.

00:05:58.000 I won't ride a motorcycle.

00:05:59.000 No, at 6'7", it's probably not very prudent to do.

00:06:01.000 It'd be like that Dumbo move.

00:06:03.000 Alright, listen.

00:06:03.000 Number 7.

00:06:04.000 Ben & Jerry's Top Tranny Flavored Ice Creams. 0.92

00:06:06.000 Little on the nose.

00:06:07.000 Chunky tranny. 0.87

00:06:09.000 Number 6.

00:06:10.000 Adam's Apple Crisp.

00:06:11.000 I see what you did.

00:06:12.000 That doesn't even sound very appetizing.

00:06:15.000 I don't think any of these do, because we go to number 5.

00:06:17.000 Chocolate Chip Cookie.

00:06:19.000 Ooh.

00:06:20.000 Yeah.

00:06:21.000 And then we've got number four, triple caramel hormone blockers.

00:06:24.000 Yes, but only between the ages of 9 and 11, if you listened to Julie Ray yesterday.

00:06:29.000 According to the DSM-5, you only administer those between 9 and 11, because that's the cautious approach.

00:06:35.000 They can just reverse it and undo the puberty blockers if they want to continue, as opposed to, say, not administering radical hormone blocking therapy.

00:06:43.000 I don't know.

00:06:43.000 Number three, mint chocolate abnormally high suicide rate, which doesn't really seem like a flavor.

00:06:49.000 Terrible flavor.

00:06:50.000 I think you wanted this one.

00:06:52.000 You wanted to have a crack at number two.

00:06:54.000 Harry Balcea.

00:06:55.000 It makes it so much more uncomfortable when you deliver looking in my eyes, let alone the audience's eyes.

00:07:00.000 Yeah, it's intense.

00:07:01.000 And actually, number one was actually... This was similar to number... But you know what?

00:07:06.000 This was Owen's baby, and he's pretty proud of it.

00:07:06.000 This was Owen's.

00:07:08.000 Number one, Ben & Jerry Transgender-Themed Ice Cream, Owen Benjamin. 0.99

00:07:12.000 That would be the Strawberry Short Lifespan. 0.92

00:07:15.000 That's true.

00:07:17.000 We're gonna get letters.

00:07:17.000 And by the way, the plus one, uh, banana split.

00:07:20.000 Then invert it into your body cavity to make a fake vagina. 1.00

00:07:22.000 That's been this week's 7 Plus 1! 0.99

00:07:24.000 That doesn't sound appetizing at all.

00:07:30.000 You forgot Stefan in the chamber! 0.85

00:07:32.000 In other news that sucks, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told an audience that, quote, America was never that great. 0.83

00:07:39.000 Remember there was a point when we were in general elections and Democrats had to act as if they didn't hate their country? 0.95

00:07:45.000 Yeah, that was before that bug-eyed lady. 0.98

00:07:46.000 Yes, it was before... No, no, no, Seth, that's the pug-eyed lady. 0.99

00:07:49.000 The pug-eyed lady. 0.97

00:07:51.000 Are we talking about Nina Pinta Santamaria Cortez?

00:07:54.000 Yes, that lady. 1.00

00:07:54.000 Can you remember her exact... Alexandria... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 1.00

00:07:58.000 There you go.

00:07:58.000 You got it.

00:07:59.000 Would you have known that, Bill?

00:08:00.000 No.

00:08:01.000 No, I would not have gotten that correct at all.

00:08:02.000 And that's why your mother's disappointed in you, Bill.

00:08:05.000 One of 17,000 reasons.

00:08:07.000 Him is the buff of multiculturalism. 0.98

00:08:09.000 He's so racist. 0.94

00:08:11.000 I think she didn't believe us. 0.96

00:08:12.000 We have a clip.

00:08:13.000 We're not going to make America great again.

00:08:16.000 It was never that great.

00:08:22.000 Why does he sound like the guy in Dumb and Dumber who's like, there are other people who need to use the phone?

00:08:30.000 And that guy sounds like Ray, he was Ray Romano's brother, and I just, I just can't believe that these are actual people, but his brother actually, for those who don't know, CNN's Chris Cuomo was overheard as saying, Hello darkness my old friend.

00:08:42.000 I always thought I was pretty great.

00:08:44.000 I've come to talk with you again.

00:08:47.000 That was pretty childish, but we just wanted to fit it in there because he's a DNC pool boy.

00:08:51.000 I feel like the Cuomo brothers are such buzzkills.

00:08:55.000 They could be sitting in a hot tub with champagne and they're just like, I hate bubbles.

00:09:02.000 I hate they're too fizzy.

00:09:04.000 My name is Eeyore.

00:09:06.000 Have you seen piglet anywhere?

00:09:08.000 He wears an English accent.

00:09:11.000 I don't know how to do accents, so I just run and gun.

00:09:15.000 Sounds like the Cuomos.

00:09:15.000 Shooting from the hip.

00:09:17.000 That is decidedly too New York-y.

00:09:19.000 Even New Yorkers would be like, OK, listen, can you tone it down a little bit?

00:09:22.000 Yeah, they're like, we're not a parody of ourselves from a 50s mobster movie.

00:09:26.000 Listen, stop getting worked up.

00:09:30.000 You're not that fantastic.

00:09:32.000 The thing is, people are still voting for the Cuomos.

00:09:35.000 People were still going to vote for Anthony Weiner until he became more Anthony Weiner.

00:09:39.000 Do you realize that?

00:09:39.000 After the first scandal, people are still going to vote for him.

00:09:41.000 Yeah, because New York has Stockholm Syndrome.

00:09:43.000 That's a good point.

00:09:43.000 They really do.

00:09:44.000 Oh, and the Cuomos are also making it so felons can vote. 0.97

00:09:49.000 They're hedging their bets.

00:09:49.000 So you get to break all of the laws and vote on them.

00:09:53.000 Exactly.

00:09:55.000 Speaking of breaking laws, finally, a congressman actually wants to know if the Chinese spy staffed by Dianne Feinstein compromised classified intel.

00:10:02.000 This comes from the Washington Examiner.

00:10:04.000 Congressman Jim Banks, he asked, while we all know that the FBI approached Senator Feinstein five years ago to inform her of this threat, right now there are more questions than ever regarding this case.

00:10:13.000 I don't know, I'm just wondering how the spy got away with this for so long.

00:10:17.000 It really does seem remarkable that it was right underneath Feinstein's eye.

00:10:20.000 Yeah, Feinstein's not good at figuring out who's spying on her.

00:10:24.000 I do not.

00:10:24.000 That seems to be one of her weak spots.

00:10:26.000 All this time we've been talking about the Russians, that we've taken our eye off the Chinese. 0.97

00:10:29.000 And they're so passive-aggressive.

00:10:31.000 Paper straws?

00:10:32.000 Will they continue with plastic?

00:10:34.000 You know that comes from them.

00:10:36.000 All of the modern inconveniences, it's clear where it's coming from.

00:10:40.000 Hey, Meng, how are you?

00:10:42.000 Oh, pretty good.

00:10:42.000 Pretty good.

00:10:43.000 Big, strong congressman.

00:10:44.000 I got you coffee for you just the way you like it.

00:10:47.000 And it's got a straw, too, so you can have that coffee on your clothes.

00:10:50.000 Yeah.

00:10:50.000 Thank you, Meng.

00:10:51.000 That's very thoughtful of you.

00:10:53.000 Oh, what is this weird paper thing?

00:10:55.000 Like, what is this?

00:10:56.000 Oh, no.

00:10:57.000 Oh, you don't like new straws?

00:10:59.000 They outlaw plastic straws so the fish aren't so bummed out.

00:11:02.000 Yeah.

00:11:03.000 I remember that, Bill.

00:11:04.000 Why would they outlaw plastic straws?

00:11:06.000 Man, I don't know why my Chinese friends made you guys pay. 1.00

00:11:10.000 I mean, your brave environmentalist did that.

00:11:12.000 Oh, no, you get coffee on your shirt, too.

00:11:15.000 You must be sad.

00:11:16.000 I'm so sorry about that.

00:11:17.000 This good American.

00:11:19.000 It's like drinking through a number two pencil.

00:11:21.000 Other than that, how do you like your coffee?

00:11:23.000 I got it the way you like it.

00:11:24.000 I know you need caffeine or you get sleepy.

00:11:27.000 It's good.

00:11:27.000 I still feel a little bit sleepy.

00:11:29.000 Oh, yeah?

00:11:30.000 Oh, no, that's crazy!

00:11:32.000 You got coffee all over your shirt, you feel sleepy.

00:11:35.000 Oh, they're so bummed out right now. 1.00

00:11:36.000 That terrible, retarded Yankee. 1.00

00:11:38.000 It's okay. 0.99

00:11:39.000 No, it was an important vote today to keep the internet free from censorship.

00:11:43.000 Oh, oh, that's right!

00:11:44.000 I guess you're gonna need your iPad.

00:11:46.000 I have for you!

00:11:47.000 Yeah! 1.00

00:11:48.000 Damn it! 0.99

00:11:49.000 Oh no, what's wrong? 1.00

00:11:50.000 It's only at 87%.

00:11:52.000 Oh, oh! 0.58

00:11:53.000 Oh, you know what?

00:11:54.000 No.

00:11:54.000 You know, you probably wanted me to use a fast iPad charger, but I only have iPhone chargers, so it only charges three-quarters of the way.

00:12:01.000 Oh, no.

00:12:02.000 Won't be the world's greatest superpower for long.

00:12:05.000 What's that mean?

00:12:06.000 I say awesome!

00:12:07.000 America awesome.

00:12:08.000 Yeah, America.

00:12:09.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:12:10.000 Dumb mother... 1.00

00:12:12.000 I wish I loved anything as much as Owen loves watching himself in scams. 1.00

00:12:15.000 No, I was laughing at you!

00:12:16.000 It wasn't laughing at me, I was just doing, like, you were killing me.

00:12:20.000 And I was also laughing, thinking about the fact Bill's mom is probably like, why aren't you also a spy?

00:12:24.000 No, no, no.

00:12:25.000 My mom's got enough disappointment that she's even disappointed for that spy not being a doctor.

00:12:30.000 By the way, Quarterback, Garrett, and Owen, can we all confirm that Bill was laughing the hardest in the room at that sketch while it was playing?

00:12:35.000 Yeah.

00:12:36.000 Yeah, Bill was laughing the hardest an Asian's capable of laughing. 1.00

00:12:38.000 This is true. 0.99

00:12:39.000 Hey, hey, this isn't a spirit of crazy rich Asians. 0.92

00:12:41.000 Asians are getting all kinds of screen time. 0.77

00:12:43.000 I love it.

00:12:43.000 This is absolutely correct.

00:12:45.000 And whenever someone says that's racist, you really do have to blame Mickey Rooney.

00:12:48.000 It really goes back to Breakfast at Tiffany's.

00:12:49.000 And it is remarkably racist, but we'll piggyback off of it.

00:12:54.000 Okay, to go back to the question from earlier, so this is something we're talking about today, and I do want to hear from you guys.

00:12:58.000 I know, well, there really aren't that many opinions, I hate to say it.

00:13:02.000 It's not that we live in a monolith, but it's everyone who's not a far-left progressive pretty much lives in a monolith here, protecting freedom of speech.

00:13:07.000 So, Alex Jones, obviously, was simultaneously removed from Facebook, YouTube, Apple, so on, okay.

00:13:11.000 A move, unfortunately, a lot on the left rejoiced.

00:13:14.000 Now, we talked about that last week, and I think... I know you weren't here when we talked about that, but obviously you know about the story.

00:13:20.000 But things have changed.

00:13:21.000 So now Stefan Molyneux's YouTube channel received two hard strikes, seemingly out of the blue.

00:13:25.000 We don't know what for yet.

00:13:26.000 Then YouTube issued the H3H3 Productions a hard strike.

00:13:30.000 I think they were blocked from streaming, right?

00:13:32.000 Yeah, while they were streaming.

00:13:33.000 It happened while they were streaming?

00:13:35.000 Yeah.

00:13:36.000 And I think a big part of that was because they addressed the Jones conspiracy.

00:13:39.000 I have to say, allegedly, right?

00:13:41.000 That covers me, right?

00:13:42.000 Well, yeah.

00:13:43.000 I say allegedly.

00:13:44.000 Because YouTube said it was a mistake afterward.

00:13:47.000 But the stream was taken down because they addressed the Alex Jones story.

00:13:52.000 Now let's not forget, since we last spoke, Gavin McGinnis, spontaneously banned from Twitter.

00:13:56.000 Who's next?

00:13:57.000 Who's next?

00:13:59.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:14:00.000 Social Justice Warriors claim, or at least we should say they hope, this comes from Inverse, that we're next.

00:14:05.000 Did you see this?

00:14:06.000 Did you see this?

00:14:08.000 They called me alt-right.

00:14:10.000 And Julie Borowski, she's the token libertarian chick. 1.00

00:14:13.000 That's her channel's name.

00:14:15.000 She couldn't be less pro-Trump on the conservative side.

00:14:19.000 It's so funny when they call people like us alt-right, because alt-right is way more similar to the left.

00:14:25.000 They both think white males are super special, they just differ on policy.

00:14:30.000 Yes!

00:14:30.000 It's like a circle.

00:14:32.000 It's like a circle.

00:14:32.000 It comes from, like, here, and then it comes back around right here.

00:14:35.000 Exactly. 0.99

00:14:36.000 The circle of dicks! 0.98

00:14:38.000 And how about the fact that they accused Alex Jones of being a conspiracy theorist, and then the biggest companies in the world conspired to get rid of him. 0.99

00:14:45.000 Yes, exactly.

00:14:47.000 And then they just go, ah, alt-right.

00:14:48.000 That's what they throw at you.

00:14:49.000 You're alt-right.

00:14:50.000 Listen, short of absolutely Ben Shapiro, I have been the most outspoken critic of the alt-right in modern conservatism, and that's only because he's really Jewish. 0.74

00:14:59.000 You can't out-Shapiro Shapiro.

00:15:00.000 Yeah, you can't out-Shapiro Shapiro.

00:15:01.000 I mean, I can't get as personal with the alt-right as Shapiro, because I'll be honest, I've never walked a mile in his size 6 shoes.

00:15:07.000 I couldn't possibly know.

00:15:09.000 I've never worn a hat that small.

00:15:12.000 I don't even know what alt-right means!

00:15:14.000 Well, that's the whole point.

00:15:14.000 It's an umbrella term.

00:15:15.000 So, in case, by the way, there were still any doubters to the veracity of these claims from Inverse, they spelled my name with a PH.

00:15:23.000 So not exactly Pulitzer-winning research department there, Heinvers, but PolitiFact-rated is mostly true, so there's that.

00:15:28.000 Now, the claim is not that Alex Jones is a conspiracy theorist accusing congressmen of being pot-bellied interdimensional vampires, would explain Chuck Schumer.

00:15:38.000 They used the worst excuse possible, and Bill, that's why we wanted to have you here today, because you can talk about this and offer some insight.

00:15:43.000 The social media platforms didn't say it was about Sandy Hook, it wasn't about the conspiracy theories, they just used this chilling defense, Jones violated the hate speech policies.

00:15:52.000 Well, let me ask you, have any of you read YouTube's policies?

00:15:55.000 Have you read YouTube or Twitter's hate speech policies?

00:15:58.000 I have not.

00:15:59.000 I just accept and move on.

00:16:00.000 You just accept and move on?

00:16:01.000 Yeah, I check the box and I just go.

00:16:03.000 Well, the thing is, some of their hate speech policies aren't consistent with other hate speech policies.

00:16:06.000 For example, if you just sign up and you create an account and then you have, when you become a partner.

00:16:10.000 So we've had to go through these quite a few times and sometimes the same company will have different explanations.

00:16:15.000 But this is actually taken directly, I think, from Google Support.

00:16:18.000 Bill, my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, I think you can read this, right?

00:16:21.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:16:22.000 It's pretty clear right there in the paragraph.

00:16:25.000 There is a fine line between what is and what is not considered to be hate speech.

00:16:29.000 For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation-state, but if the primary purpose of the content is to incite hatred against a group of people solely based on their ethnicity, or if the content promotes violence based on any of these core attributes, like religion, it violates our policy.

00:16:46.000 First off, you pointed out something right before the show.

00:16:48.000 I did.

00:16:49.000 I did.

00:16:49.000 The paragraph right before this, and I really encourage everyone to go take a look at the

00:16:53.000 actual policy, because just above the paragraph I just read is a sentence that says, primary

00:16:59.000 purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes such

00:17:04.000 as race, religion, disability, etc.

00:17:07.000 But what you'll skip over if you don't recognize the language, the lawyerly language, is the

00:17:11.000 such as.

00:17:12.000 They're not saying that this is the exclusive list that can be used to ban people from the

00:17:17.000 platforms or take away their monetization or take away their livelihood.

00:17:22.000 It's just an example.

00:17:23.000 So in fact, when you read the literal language of the hate speech policy, it is any characteristic

00:17:28.000 that YouTube decides or Google decides on a certain day that applies to an individual

00:17:33.000 or a group that they happen to fancy at that time.

00:17:36.000 And I don't think there's a real question about which ones they fancy and which ones they don't. 1.00

00:17:40.000 Yeah, I feel like they've weaponized... Did your balls just retract into your body cavity? 0.99

00:17:44.000 mine did. Oh, that's how terrifying that is. Well, it's weaponized opinions. Yeah. It's 1.00

00:17:49.000 it's kind of like saying mustard is a hate condiment. Yes.

00:17:52.000 And someone being like, what does that mean? It's like, I hate it. So it's gone now. And

00:17:56.000 relish is clearly alt right.

00:17:58.000 It's just it's just these umbrella labels hate speech. And by the way, this isn't even

00:18:01.000 true. Now, that legalese that you got into is super, super important, because it's like

00:18:06.000 when someone says, Ah, the Bible says the world's gonna end on October 12.

00:18:08.000 What?

00:18:08.000 Where does it say?

00:18:09.000 I believe it says it's somewhere near the back, somewhere around there.

00:18:11.000 It's like, hold on, there's a clause in there.

00:18:13.000 That's what you have in a lot of it.

00:18:14.000 I mean, there are so many outs with contracts like these.

00:18:17.000 And everyone out there who's signing up for a YouTube channel, you're becoming a YouTube partner, please, please have a lawyer look it over.

00:18:22.000 Because a lot of people don't know what they're signing into, but even then, It's not true in the application from YouTube, because people have been banned for hate speech, simply for criticizing nations or ideologies, of course.

00:18:33.000 To lose definition in the application, of course, of hate speech, it's something that we've harped on here for a long time.

00:18:37.000 It was one of the first to ever change my mind, for those who missed it.

00:18:40.000 Yeah, that was one way to do it, a sandwich board, because it wasn't a state that's going to have a newly appointed tranny governor, and we couldn't actually get permission to be down there on Church Street. 0.97

00:18:50.000 Even back then, people were dumbfounded as to why I could be against hate speech laws.

00:18:53.000 You see that a lot on campus, and let me explain it to you in a way that maybe you haven't heard.

00:18:57.000 I'm against hate speech laws for the same reason I'm against Washington, D.C.' 's idea of common sense gun control.

00:19:03.000 Now, why am I against that?

00:19:05.000 Okay, I'll point you to Exhibit A.

00:19:07.000 There have been temporary barriers put in place in many of the bridges across London.

00:19:11.000 Actually, we're doing things like designing out the possibility of a hostile vehicle smashing into pedestrians or buildings.

00:19:19.000 Now I know you're going to say, that wasn't Washington DC.

00:19:21.000 That's not the point.

00:19:22.000 So yeah, after the London terror attack, the mayor of London is implementing vehicle control.

00:19:29.000 That's insane.

00:19:31.000 Right now, we have the straw ban probably because someone killed a guy with a straw.

00:19:34.000 Right. 0.91

00:19:36.000 No, I don't think it's the passive-aggressive Asians. 0.96

00:19:38.000 I blame your people.

00:19:39.000 But remember, we used to bring this up as an extreme example to make a point.

00:19:42.000 On this very show, people would accuse us of strawmanning.

00:19:44.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:19:46.000 A 16-year-old with a learner's permit and a phone using Google Maps.

00:19:51.000 That's far more dangerous than my PPQ here on the desk that has hasn't heard of fly. 0.95

00:19:55.000 People would say, oh, that's so silly.

00:19:57.000 I'm like, what do you want, vehicle control? 0.69

00:19:59.000 You want to control all Jeep Cherokees?

00:20:00.000 All right, now you're strong.

00:20:01.000 No, this is what they're actually want to do in London.

00:20:04.000 It's actually happening.

00:20:05.000 Yeah, satire becomes real life in about three months.

00:20:07.000 Well, I just spoke with Julie Ray yesterday, if you didn't see the debate.

00:20:11.000 And we were talking about hormone blockers.

00:20:13.000 And she said, unironically, well, I'm going to go by the DSM-5, by the guidelines,

00:20:16.000 or I think she said the stage two guidelines, which is 9 to 11 years old, is agreed upon by all

00:20:22.000 the major medical associations.

00:20:24.000 All the major medical associations agree that you should put 9 to 11-year-olds

00:20:29.000 on hormone blockers?

00:20:30.000 Does that include the American Dental Association?

00:20:32.000 I don't know what our definitions are here.

00:20:34.000 I'm Ziffy.

00:20:35.000 No, that's child abuse. 0.99

00:20:36.000 That's the thing that got me banned from Twitter and YouTube in the same day, but it happened to me so early that no one really noticed.

00:20:43.000 I was kind of like the sex pistols of this banning situation.

00:20:47.000 Actually, it's interesting that you bring that up, because you don't know how I met Bill.

00:20:50.000 Yeah, how did you meet Bill?

00:20:51.000 No, I met Bill, I was actually in Michigan.

00:20:54.000 And so what happened was, remember there was an article, was it Engadget?

00:20:57.000 I think it was, it was not Wired, but it was one of the... Yeah, like Engadget or Mashable.

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:02.000 So there was an article out that said, okay, Facebook, actually, they do have people controlling what goes into your feed.

00:21:08.000 It's not just algorithmic.

00:21:09.000 And there was just a list released publicly, and it included Ted Cruz for president, I think the Chris Cowell Foundation, Breitbart, and Steven Crowder.

00:21:18.000 It was on the list, and they released the documents.

00:21:20.000 And I called my friend, our good friend Jordan, and I asked him, I said, hey, do you know, could you help me with this?

00:21:25.000 He's like, uh, you know, you might want a different kind of lawyer, like a business lawyer does this kind of stuff.

00:21:29.000 My friend Bill's pretty good.

00:21:30.000 He sounds like Seth Rogen.

00:21:31.000 You know that's exactly what he sounds like.

00:21:33.000 And put me in touch with Bill.

00:21:35.000 Do you remember, I called you.

00:21:36.000 I said, I want you to take a look at this.

00:21:37.000 And you said, OK, let me take a look at it, and I'll call you back.

00:21:39.000 And he called me back in about 10 minutes.

00:21:42.000 And you said, yeah, this is pretty bad.

00:21:47.000 I mean, you were on that list and it was clear.

00:21:48.000 I mean, you know, for those who haven't taken a look at the article, I mean, you gotta go back and take a look at how clear it was.

00:21:53.000 A former employee came out and said, did you know we have a blacklist with these people's names on it so that we can keep them from coming to the top?

00:22:00.000 Because, the insinuation being, they otherwise would have been at the top of the feeds and the lists and the other public lists.

00:22:07.000 And we had suspected it all along.

00:22:08.000 This is the thing, right?

00:22:10.000 If you accuse people of being conspiratorial and you conspire against them, like you said, yeah, it of course, all of a sudden, that little ember becomes a flame.

00:22:17.000 And we always thought, man, it's really weird.

00:22:18.000 We used to trend a lot on Facebook, quite a bit.

00:22:20.000 And now we've had videos, we've had articles that get far more shares, that get far more interactions.

00:22:24.000 And algorithmically, it seems like this should trend because it's two or three times as popular as the thing that did trend.

00:22:29.000 Huh.

00:22:29.000 And they just said, no, no, it's the algorithms until this list came out.

00:22:32.000 And I guess we can talk about a lot, but basically it got settled.

00:22:36.000 We worked it out.

00:22:37.000 We worked it out.

00:22:38.000 Your mom should be real proud of that, you worked it out.

00:22:42.000 But you know, you could have been operating on people and saving their lives, though.

00:22:45.000 Yeah, you could have been doing that.

00:22:46.000 Useful. 0.94

00:22:46.000 Could have been a Ben Carson, where you could have been separating joint twins and stabbing someone in the back. 0.94

00:22:52.000 Back on.

00:22:52.000 So, my point is that when you give Washington the authority to determine common sense gun control, well guess what?

00:22:56.000 You give them all guns.

00:22:58.000 Before, we were talking about London and car control.

00:23:01.000 Not just AR-15s, not just the awesome Walther PBQ with the best striker fire trigger in existence.

00:23:04.000 Nice little plug there.

00:23:06.000 But the right to private firearm ownership, period.

00:23:08.000 Look at Heller vs. DC.

00:23:09.000 Because you gave the authority to the government in the first place, well now here comes knife control!

00:23:14.000 Now here comes vehicle control!

00:23:16.000 Same thing when people talk about this fiscally.

00:23:18.000 It's not just guns.

00:23:18.000 It's not just free speech.

00:23:20.000 It's the same thing when you give them complete control over your paycheck.

00:23:23.000 It's, wow, we need to take from, we need to take from the 1%. 1.00

00:23:26.000 Then it's okay, we'll take from the 1%.

00:23:28.000 Then you, we need socialized healthcare.

00:23:29.000 Then three years down the line, you look like Venezuela. 1.00

00:23:31.000 Just give it all to me, you filthy son of a bitch! 1.00

00:23:37.000 That's what happens. 1.00

00:23:38.000 You give them a foothold and they get in.

00:23:40.000 They get their foot in the door.

00:23:42.000 They are there all the way.

00:23:43.000 Give any bureaucratic organism, be it Washington or the tech giants in this case, the ability to determine hate speech and you give up all speech.

00:23:52.000 And that's just the basic philosophy of delegating your rights to another entity.

00:23:55.000 Not even taking into account these kinds of policies.

00:23:59.000 That was a part of this last purge!

00:24:00.000 reliability and efficiency. Right now we're just talking about the moral aspect of this.

00:24:05.000 But then you get to the pragmatic aspect. For you to line up with them, you have to believe they can

00:24:10.000 carry this out efficiently. You think so? You guys think so?

00:24:13.000 No? Anyone? Anyone? Fueller? Fueller?

00:24:16.000 I have no idea where you're... No, no. You know how I know?

00:24:19.000 Because they accidentally banned Robin Williams, who's been dead for four years. Jeez. That

00:24:25.000 was a part of this last purge.

00:24:27.000 That's insane.

00:24:29.000 You know. 0.77

00:24:30.000 A criminal from beyond the grave. 0.98

00:24:31.000 You know, I don't know a whole lot, but I know Jack Dorsey is a tiny prick. 1.00

00:24:35.000 Look at that man, big ego, small penis. 1.00

00:24:38.000 Oh, oh, look, Jack Dorsey, what an asshole, right? 1.00

00:24:42.000 Sad eyes, sad eyes, but funny face. 1.00

00:24:44.000 That's Robin Williams.

00:24:45.000 Sad eyes with a funny... He's telling jokes, but he's always sad.

00:24:48.000 I can't watch his movies anymore.

00:24:49.000 It is your fault, Jack.

00:24:50.000 It is your fault, Jack.

00:24:51.000 It is your fault.

00:24:52.000 Listen to me, son. 1.00

00:24:54.000 All this s***, it's all your fault. 0.99

00:24:57.000 Yeah, yeah, I know, but it's all good. 0.99

00:24:59.000 No, Jack.

00:25:00.000 You don't know, son.

00:25:01.000 Look at me.

00:25:03.000 It's all your fault.

00:25:05.000 Yeah, yeah, you said that already. 1.00

00:25:06.000 Seriously, you're a little prick. 0.99

00:25:07.000 Okay, uh, Alex Jones. 1.00

00:25:09.000 I didn't get to my dramatic scene! 0.58

00:25:11.000 No, no, I would have sucked at it anyway.

00:25:13.000 Go on. 0.87

00:25:13.000 You wanted to cry? 0.87

00:25:14.000 Did you want to cry in the studio?

00:25:14.000 I was building it up, man.

00:25:16.000 I was building up.

00:25:16.000 I was about to do a full-blown scene like Meryl Streep style.

00:25:19.000 Well, I think you and I were we're talking about this this week, it's important for

00:25:21.000 people to know that Alex Jones may say some things that you you don't like, that

00:25:24.000 maybe you don't, that I don't like, that we don't like personally, but being banned

00:25:27.000 from YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Spotify, iTunes all at once, it cannot happen

00:25:31.000 without collusion. And Jack Dorsey, by the way, we're talking about him, here he is bragging

00:25:35.000 that he was wielding the power of his platform to change Alex's behavior and his

00:25:39.000 points of view.

00:25:40.000 Here you go, see the clip. Well I feel, you know, any any suspension, whether it be a

00:25:45.000 permanent one or a temporary one, makes someone think about their actions and

00:25:50.000 We have found that it does have the potential to change impact and change behavior.

00:25:56.000 There you go.

00:25:57.000 He's basically saying we put him in a timeout to try and make sure that he agrees with us.

00:26:01.000 By the way, when did he join Mumford & Sons?

00:26:04.000 I have no idea.

00:26:06.000 Yeah, and that doesn't work with grown men.

00:26:07.000 What's he gonna have him, like, on a chalkboard say, the frogs are not gay, the frogs are not gay? 0.71

00:26:11.000 It's like the Alex Jones intro to The Simpsons.

00:26:16.000 Yeah.

00:26:17.000 And what he doesn't understand is a certain type of person, and I think I may actually fall in this category, is when you do something like that, you do the opposite.

00:26:25.000 Like, if someone like Jack Dorsey does that to me, like, oh, you can't say this word, that's the only word I'll say for the next ten years.

00:26:31.000 Yeah, that's turned out to be a problem for you.

00:26:33.000 It has.

00:26:33.000 I've lost a lot.

00:26:34.000 Some bad calls sometimes.

00:26:35.000 Sometimes it works.

00:26:36.000 Sometimes it works great.

00:26:38.000 Sometimes a swing and a miss.

00:26:39.000 Yeah.

00:26:41.000 That's all of us who've been sitting in this chair.

00:26:43.000 But the point that really bothers me about that clip is he's talking about punishing someone to change behavior that he doesn't like.

00:26:48.000 Now, meanwhile, this is trending all day today.

00:26:50.000 Hundreds of left-wing papers have been publishing these anti-Trump screeds demanding that President Donald Trump stop attacking the press.

00:26:56.000 This is what they've been talking about.

00:26:57.000 He's attacking the press because of libel laws.

00:27:00.000 Here's the thing, these bannings of alt-right or even the left-leaning voices, it's clearly about leftist media and tech giants coordinating together in an effort to silence anyone questioning their narrative.

00:27:10.000 And they're completely, systematically shutting down anyone else.

00:27:14.000 Just take your pick of anyone who doesn't live in Silicon Valley.

00:27:18.000 No!

00:27:18.000 They're not welcome.

00:27:19.000 Okay?

00:27:20.000 So, this simultaneous, systematic deplatforming, like I said, it can't happen without collusion.

00:27:26.000 The statistical likelihood is virtually impossible.

00:27:28.000 Almost unheard of.

00:27:29.000 And the left couldn't care less about it.

00:27:32.000 That's why it makes it hard for me to get when the papers are saying, hey, hashtag free press.

00:27:37.000 Really?

00:27:37.000 Is that what you care about?

00:27:39.000 Because right now this is happening?

00:27:40.000 Not a word!

00:27:42.000 Nothing.

00:27:42.000 And I'm curious to know if the collusion was happening if Yahoo was trying to get in and they're like, get out of here, Yahoo.

00:27:49.000 And they're like, no, I can ban people too.

00:27:50.000 And they're like, get out of here, Yahoo.

00:27:52.000 We're hanging out with Zuck.

00:27:54.000 Webcrawler's like, this is my opportunity.

00:27:56.000 AltaVista pops in.

00:27:57.000 He's like, come on.

00:27:58.000 The bent back paperclip, remember me?

00:28:02.000 Asked Jeeves, he's like, oh, Burnham!

00:28:04.000 You misspelled hate speech!

00:28:06.000 Oh, the paperclip, whatever happened to that guy?

00:28:08.000 I don't know!

00:28:09.000 Clippy?

00:28:09.000 What's it called?

00:28:10.000 Clippy?

00:28:11.000 Was it called Lippy?

00:28:12.000 Clippy?

00:28:13.000 Clippy from the... And there was that purple gorilla for a while.

00:28:16.000 Remember that was like Bonzo buddy?

00:28:17.000 Clippy was never helpful.

00:28:19.000 No, it was never helpful at all.

00:28:20.000 It just suggested things that you weren't in any way searching for at all.

00:28:23.000 Yeah, they're like, do you want to know how to restart your computer?

00:28:25.000 I'm like, I know that, Clippy.

00:28:27.000 Is this, by the way, is this conspiratorial of me?

00:28:30.000 Whole room, let me know here.

00:28:32.000 I'm asking you, Bill.

00:28:33.000 I'm asking you, Owen.

00:28:34.000 This is happening right before midterm elections.

00:28:37.000 Is it just, I mean, is it just me?

00:28:38.000 You let me know in the comments.

00:28:39.000 Is it me?

00:28:42.000 No, means, motive, and opportunity, man.

00:28:44.000 That's where my conspiracies hit.

00:28:46.000 It's like, means, motive, opportunity, and all of those things check, and they're very, very capable of it.

00:28:52.000 Yeah.

00:28:52.000 What do you think, Bill?

00:28:54.000 I think when you look at who's going to have... You're just being careful because you're a lawyer right now and you can't say, like, allegedly they're bricks.

00:28:58.000 No, no, no.

00:28:58.000 I'll be straight about it.

00:28:59.000 When you look at who has the amount to gain, how they can exercise the power to achieve that gain, and the timing of doing the thing that would help them with that gain, it's hard to say any other conclusion other than collusion.

00:29:13.000 There are a lot of gains in there, but I think I followed.

00:29:16.000 But they're so bad at human nature, they don't realize it'll backfire.

00:29:19.000 Like, now I'm definitely voting them.

00:29:20.000 I'll have three watches, lots of alarms ringing.

00:29:24.000 Make sure that you don't... Waiting.

00:29:26.000 Yeah, you'll look like that scene in Hook when Dustin Hoffman wakes up in his nightmare.

00:29:29.000 Exactly!

00:29:30.000 Tell you what, this is a big reason why we have half-Asian lawyer Bill Ursman here on Retainer.

00:29:33.000 This is why we have Mug Club. 0.99

00:29:34.000 I'll talk more about where we're headed after our guests in the close, but the fight right now, it is right here.

00:29:39.000 And I just want to make something really clear.

00:29:40.000 This is absolutely the hill that I'm willing to die on.

00:29:43.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:29:45.000 Well, you know, we'll talk about that more in the closing.

00:29:46.000 I think we'll talk about it quite a bit with Paul Joseph Watson, because we actually have one more story for you.

00:29:51.000 Resident favorite non-lesbian who we're not entirely convinced of, Lena Dunham posed nude to commemorate the nine-month anniversary of her hysterectomy, as one does. 0.99

00:30:00.000 This comes from Fox News.

00:30:02.000 I've never celebrated the nine-month anniversary of anything.

00:30:05.000 Well...

00:30:07.000 Why start now?

00:30:07.000 She posed nude in Quarter Black.

00:30:09.000 Garrett, can you bring up that photo for us?

00:30:11.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:30:12.000 Give me one second.

00:30:12.000 I think we have the picture here.

00:30:13.000 Of course, we'll have to blur it for on-air, those watching on radio.

00:30:17.000 Oh, God.

00:30:18.000 Podcast and YouTube.

00:30:19.000 Oh, God.

00:30:20.000 Let's go.

00:30:21.000 Oh, God!

00:30:22.000 What?

00:30:22.000 Oh, God!

00:30:24.000 No!

00:30:25.000 Paul Joseph Watson will come back after this, then Mark Levin.

00:30:28.000 Oh God! No!

00:30:30.000 This town ain't big enough for the two of us.

00:30:43.000 I Actually, as a matter of fact, geographically there is physical room for- I've had enough of your asbestos-laden smug talk.

00:30:50.000 Fill your tumbler, you son of a- Lotter with Crowder Studios.

00:30:59.000 Protected exclusively by Walther.

00:31:01.000 and hopper.

00:31:03.000 I'm going to be doing a little bit of a walkthrough of the game.

00:31:23.000 He's right at the center of all this, of all the controversy with YouTube and obviously there's Infowars and he's worked with Alex Jones.

00:31:29.000 You know him, you love him on the YouTube at Prison Planet, is what I believe it is.

00:31:34.000 I know it's at Prison Planet on Twitter.

00:31:36.000 Did it have the YouTube channel right there, Paul Joseph Watson?

00:31:39.000 Yeah, you just Google my name, Paul Joseph Watson.

00:31:42.000 It's basically that.

00:31:43.000 YouTube slash Paul Joseph Watson. 0.97

00:31:45.000 You're a cocky Englishman. 0.99

00:31:46.000 You come on here looking all half asleep and sexy and you just Google me. 0.99

00:31:49.000 Home everywhere, pretty much.

00:31:52.000 That was probably wrong, right?

00:31:53.000 That was probably Liverpool or something and grossly offensive.

00:31:56.000 I apologize.

00:31:57.000 Yeah, that's not very good.

00:31:59.000 Before we get into the big tech, all the censorship stuff, you had a great video this week, The Age of Emotional Incontinence, and you were talking about privilege, guilt, the emotions of people always needing to be expressed in the highest profile way possible.

00:32:12.000 Explain for people who've missed it.

00:32:13.000 Again, it's at Prison Planet on YouTube, but you can fill them in in case, you know, they can't be bothered to go, uh, to click.

00:32:19.000 It hurts!

00:32:20.000 Yeah, god forbid, 10 minutes plus video.

00:32:23.000 But yeah, it's basically based on theories written by Theodore Dalrymple, who's a British writer, who noticed the change, especially in Britain over the past 10-15 years, this cult of emotional sentimentality, where we're not only, you know, expected, we're encouraged to over-express, to over-emote over absolutely everything, which is the point I make in the video.

00:32:43.000 You know, it's actually encouraging a form of mental illness called mood lability, which is where you overreact emotionally to everything.

00:32:50.000 And we see it in reality TV.

00:32:51.000 We see it with, um, you know, whenever a celebrity dies, they're canonized.

00:32:55.000 We have to go through this, this public ritual of, uh, emoting and crying over them, even though if we weren't really into them, didn't really know much about them before they died.

00:33:03.000 Now we have to do it.

00:33:05.000 So yeah, it's based on Theodore Dalrymple's writings.

00:33:07.000 It's called the age of emotional incontinence.

00:33:11.000 It's quite in depth, but it's up on YouTube.

00:33:13.000 It's a pendulum swing too, right?

00:33:15.000 It's going too far the other way.

00:33:16.000 And that's a big thing because they say, well, toxic masculinity tells a lot of young people, particularly young men, they can't discuss their emotions at all.

00:33:23.000 They're not allowed to be emotionally communicative at all, which isn't true.

00:33:26.000 That's not what we believe.

00:33:27.000 We just believe that, you know, young men shouldn't cry at the drop of a hat.

00:33:29.000 There's a time to cry.

00:33:30.000 There's a time to express your emotions.

00:33:32.000 And there's a time to act based on logic.

00:33:34.000 And so I think they use this straw man a lot of the time to build up what we now see a culture of, all of my emotions are just as valid as everybody else's emotions at all times.

00:33:43.000 And it makes me want to stab myself.

00:33:45.000 Well, it's this whole thing, and I mentioned this in the video, when people say there's a stigma around depression, there's a stigma around talking about your feelings.

00:33:53.000 No, there isn't!

00:33:53.000 That's all anyone does at this point.

00:33:56.000 You go through YouTube and type in depression, there's a million and more videos about it.

00:34:00.000 The more we talk about depression, this is the point I make, the more depressed people become, and obviously that's because of a number of factors.

00:34:06.000 But this over-emoting about it, constantly over-sharing, doesn't seem to be having the desired solution of making people less depressed.

00:34:15.000 Obviously, I differentiate between people with PTSD, you know, war veterans or female rape victims.

00:34:21.000 I'm talking about... I mean, I give examples of people who cry because they can't get their eyebrows to look the same.

00:34:27.000 They had a big Twitter thing last year, what makes you cry, and it was literally that.

00:34:30.000 It was literally, oh, I try to fit too many things in my bag and I can't, so I start crying.

00:34:35.000 I've never visited the threading kiosk at the mall, I take it.

00:34:38.000 It's very painful.

00:34:40.000 Yeah, so it's about the whole range of human emotions being cheap, and people not having the capacity to deal with real trauma, because they flip off the switch at a moment's notice, and anything triggers them.

00:34:51.000 But it is.

00:34:51.000 Threatening is very painful, especially if it is all for naught.

00:34:53.000 I'd probably be upset.

00:34:54.000 I think that's an important differentiation to make, that you are making, and that's also why, you know, we've had these videos where we did the sting, I guess you would say, undercover in the college socialists, and the girl says, well, because I have PTSD, and I don't even remember what else she was talking about, obviously, I was going, whoa, wait, hold on a second.

00:35:09.000 There's a hook, PTSD.

00:35:11.000 And I said, oh, I'm so sorry.

00:35:12.000 Do you want to talk about it?

00:35:14.000 She goes, that's a very rude question.

00:35:17.000 Then I found out she was writing about it everywhere anyway.

00:35:19.000 So I asked a question that I could have already found out the answer to with a quick little thumb press.

00:35:23.000 Well, it goes back to they want to control reality by controlling the language.

00:35:27.000 If your words harm them physically, which is the argument they now try to make that words are violent, then they can shut you up, they can silence you.

00:35:34.000 So it all goes back once again to control and power.

00:35:37.000 That's the only reason why they do any of this.

00:35:40.000 And that's laid out in the video.

00:35:41.000 I mean, we got like emotional support pigs on planes at this point.

00:35:45.000 We've got people, there was an article recently, a couple who had 400 different personalities

00:35:50.000 that they slipped into from day to day, some of which were children, so they couldn't take

00:35:54.000 care of themselves.

00:35:55.000 And society is normalizing this because the gamut, the range of mental illnesses that

00:36:01.000 were being told to accept as, you know, forms of oppression, if you even disagree or question

00:36:05.000 them, is getting ever vaster, ever wider, and it's basically normalizing mental illness 0.58

00:36:10.000 when it should be a stigma to some extent, if it's been over prescribed and if people

00:36:15.000 are over emoting at nothing.

00:36:17.000 I remember when the temporary insanity plea became really in vogue and people were looking into it saying, is that a real thing?

00:36:22.000 Like, well, you know, I was crazy when I killed him, but I think I'm fixed now.

00:36:26.000 And now they're saying like, well, you know, I was able to feed myself until I reverted to Timmy, my childlike self. 0.99

00:36:32.000 And now I need you to wipe my ass, please. 0.99

00:36:34.000 Speaking of control and power, obviously, listen, you've worked with Alex Jones for a long time. 0.99

00:36:40.000 There's been this deplatforming, we were just talking about it, and we've just, by Inverse, I think it's a magazine and online website, we've just been, yours truly, number one, most likely, alt-right channel, as they put it, Steven with a P-H.

00:36:52.000 To be removed from YouTube.

00:36:54.000 What are your thoughts on this?

00:36:55.000 Because we've talked about this, obviously.

00:36:57.000 Private business can do what they want if they're honest about it.

00:37:00.000 But to me, what's so crazy is all of these different platforms at once.

00:37:05.000 That can't happen without collusion.

00:37:07.000 Well, exactly, and it came out in the New York Times that both Tim Cook and Zuckerberg personally made the decision to pull infowars, but you've got to look at the backstory to illustrate how this is not, oh, just a private company.

00:37:18.000 We had Democrat congressmen in October last year, when the truck attack happened in New York, talking to Twitter executives saying, why is this Paul Joseph Watson's tweet about the truck attack in top trending on the hashtag?

00:37:31.000 And the Twitter executive was immediately like, yeah, we saw that, we removed that.

00:37:35.000 Last month, Congressman Deutsch, Democrat, you know, grilling YouTube and Facebook executives.

00:37:41.000 Why haven't you banned Alex Jones?

00:37:43.000 Why haven't you banned InfoWars?

00:37:44.000 Boom, a month later it happens.

00:37:46.000 This is also a lobbying campaign, as you said.

00:37:49.000 CNN, Oliver Darcy, have been lobbying for six solid months to get InfoWars removed from YouTube, Facebook, etc.

00:37:57.000 Wait, wasn't Oliver Darcy from The Blaze?

00:37:59.000 or am I mistaken? Yeah, he's a self-proclaimed conservative and he's the one leading the

00:38:03.000 charge and this is how it works. They're in communication constantly with big tech, with

00:38:07.000 Twitter, Facebook, CNN, so they're constantly, oh what about this tweet? Doesn't this violate? What

00:38:12.000 about this tweet? And it's every single day. They put it on Twitter, then you get the brigading,

00:38:17.000 you get the witch hunt mob.

00:38:18.000 I just wasn't asking it so hopefully, but I thought, oh, is Paul going to be gone?

00:38:22.000 not just these companies enforcing their terms of service.

00:38:25.000 This is a lobbying campaign.

00:38:27.000 It's a brigading campaign.

00:38:29.000 And now as you said, there's a Newsweek article today about me saying, oh, why hasn't he been

00:38:33.000 banned now?

00:38:34.000 So they're just...

00:38:35.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:38:36.000 That was my question.

00:38:37.000 I just wasn't asking it so hopefully, but I thought, oh, is Paul going to be gone?

00:38:40.000 But here you are.

00:38:42.000 Well, give it time.

00:38:44.000 Well, I mean, I do wonder what they...

00:38:47.000 Obviously, you've got to be on their list.

00:38:49.000 Do you think that they all know who Alex Jones is and therefore they would all know your

00:38:53.000 connection with InfoWars and Prison Planet? 0.93

00:38:55.000 Or do you think they're so ignorant, they're just taking their marching orders that most 0.90

00:38:57.000 people wouldn't really have a clue? 0.98

00:38:59.000 Because you obviously are more moderate.

00:39:00.000 You're not as conspiratorial.

00:39:01.000 You're more libertarian.

00:39:03.000 I know we've talked about this, and you're close with Alex, and I don't want to speak about anyone who's not here, but you certainly would be seen as less inflammatory than Alex himself.

00:39:15.000 Well, I mean, people have asked me about this, about, you know, the comments yesterday regarding, you know, the Twitter suspension about the battle rifles and all that, which they stripped out the context, by the way.

00:39:24.000 At the start of the rant, he was talking politically, legally, judicially.

00:39:28.000 They stripped that out.

00:39:29.000 But yeah, I haven't violated any of their terms of service.

00:39:32.000 Trying to control Alex Jones's language on a three-hour radio show is like telling a grizzly bear not to behave like a grizzly bear.

00:39:39.000 So yes, if you drill down and go through, pick through every single sentence, you're going to find something that might violate their TOS.

00:39:47.000 Again, it's these brigades.

00:39:48.000 It's the fact that Media Matters writes an article about this.

00:39:51.000 Three hours later, he's suspended by Twitter, OK?

00:39:54.000 That's not just a private company going about its business.

00:39:58.000 That's a brigading campaign. 0.97

00:39:59.000 That's a media pressure campaign, which is why it's so ridiculous. 0.97

00:40:03.000 Today, they're all whining about, oh, Trump's a fascist because he's silencing the media. 0.92

00:40:07.000 Meanwhile, they've been lobbying for six months to silence actual media outlets.

00:40:11.000 We're the ones being silenced.

00:40:12.000 What is Trump doing to them, apart from calling them mean names?

00:40:15.000 This is funny, you took the words right out of my mouth.

00:40:17.000 We just talked about that and I couldn't agree with you more.

00:40:19.000 Aside from tweets, and listen, I do get uncomfortable when any president

00:40:23.000 starts trying to expand libel laws that applies to journalism.

00:40:26.000 He's talked about it.

00:40:28.000 I'm glad he's not doing that right now.

00:40:30.000 But if you look at, like you said, the policies that come from the progressive left, if you look at what actions they are taking, they could not care less about freedom and journalism.

00:40:39.000 What do you think actually happens?

00:40:41.000 Genuine question.

00:40:42.000 I do think there can be some self-correction here in the market with YouTube, because they lose all of their viewers if they do this.

00:40:49.000 And that's YouTube's only capital, is their viewers, people who are actually on their website.

00:40:53.000 Do you think, because of the backlash now, because of what happened with H3H3 Productions, that's a horrible name, really difficult to say, do you think maybe they backtrack, they step it back, or do you just think they go forward full throttle?

00:41:05.000 Well, we've seen it in the past, where we've had it really bad with the demonetisation, with the whole SPLC, you know, flagging content.

00:41:11.000 That got pretty bad for a while, then they stepped it back.

00:41:14.000 But again, it's these brigades.

00:41:15.000 If these brigades of blue checkmarks on Twitter pile on, which they do every day, then you've got people within these companies who feel pressured.

00:41:23.000 The thing that's different about Twitter From what I know, Jack actually to some extent supports free speech, believe it or not.

00:41:29.000 He's like the least worst of them, because he's talked to big conservative people who've been to dinner with him, and he's getting pressured from within his own company from all these hysterics.

00:41:39.000 See, I thought he was the worst.

00:41:40.000 I thought he was the worst of the three.

00:41:41.000 He was about a year and a half ago, and I thought Susan Wojcicki still had to be beholden to a, you know, to the bottom dollar at a certain point, but maybe not.

00:41:49.000 Maybe not since we had Clint Howard play her in A Christmas Carol.

00:41:52.000 She's a little upset about that. 0.95

00:41:54.000 But with YouTube, there's talk, and I think there was something like this before, but it's not really gone anywhere, of a YouTubers' union, where all the big creators in unison complain if something really bad happens, and I've been talking to some pretty big YouTube people, you might have a guess who they are, and they're interested in getting on board.

00:42:13.000 You haven't talked with me!

00:42:14.000 I'm up there!

00:42:16.000 Well, we want you on board, obviously.

00:42:19.000 And there's talk of a big live stream with all the top personalities probably next week.

00:42:24.000 I think Breitbart's setting that up.

00:42:26.000 So you know, a White House petition, maybe we can get 200,000 people to sign it.

00:42:31.000 This is why we have half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond, who's in the restroom right now,

00:42:35.000 on retainer, because we know this is a fight that we've seen coming for a long while.

00:42:38.000 I think it's going to arrive at our doorstep, our doorstep meaning Latter-day Scriber, sooner rather than later. 0.97

00:42:44.000 It will arrive at some point, and like I said earlier, and I'll talk about in the close, it's the hill I'm willing to die on, because we've invested so much not only in the platform, but on the people who we talk with, the people who we impact.

00:42:53.000 It's about the impact that we have, and it's important, and I think that's why they want to silence us.

00:42:58.000 Final question, because you work obviously alongside InfoWars, How's your job security?

00:43:03.000 Are you good?

00:43:04.000 You need us to PayPal you anything?

00:43:05.000 You okay?

00:43:07.000 Well, actually, product sales were up three times over the past couple of weeks, so all this censorship does have some, you know, decent knock-on effects.

00:43:16.000 Obviously, that's not going to last long-term, but, you know, the app was downloaded millions of times, millions of newsletter sign-ups, so we'll be all right for now.

00:43:23.000 We've got some capital, and we've got a loyal audience that will support us in times of need, and they have done.

00:43:28.000 Well, I appreciate that your audience says that.

00:43:30.000 Now, where's the best place for people to find you so they can support you personally?

00:43:34.000 Um, at Prison Planet on Twitter is the best place.

00:43:37.000 At Prison Planet on Twitter, as long as Jack Dorsey still thinks he's cute, and why wouldn't he?

00:43:41.000 Look at those baby blues. 1.00

00:43:42.000 And, uh, we're the same way.

00:43:43.000 Listen, that's why we had to create Mug Club, because we're still fighting the fight on YouTube, and I appreciate that you're there.

00:43:47.000 Paul Joseph Watson, you must go!

00:43:49.000 We have Mark Levin next!

00:43:50.000 Thanks a lot.

00:43:51.000 Take care.

00:43:56.000 That's weird.

00:43:56.000 My wife won't answer the phone.

00:43:57.000 She told me to call her right now.

00:43:59.000 Oh, no way!

00:44:00.000 You sure you have the right number to answer your phone?

00:44:02.000 Of course I do.

00:44:03.000 It's my wife.

00:44:04.000 Wait a minute.

00:44:06.000 It's one digit off now.

00:44:07.000 Oh, no.

00:44:08.000 Oh, she's probably real mad at you. 0.77

00:44:10.000 That's a bummer.

00:44:11.000 She's definitely annoyed.

00:44:13.000 Yeah, probably more than a little annoyed.

00:44:14.000 Someone's sleeping on the couch.

00:44:17.000 Masturbating.

00:44:19.000 Slightly inconvenient, no one knows why. 0.97

00:44:22.000 Passive-aggressive Chinese spy. 0.52

00:44:26.000 That's me! 0.63

00:44:28.000 Ding!

00:44:30.000 Ah! Ah! Ah!

00:44:32.000 Ah! Ah! Ah!

00:44:36.000 Ah!

00:44:38.000 Ah! Ah! Ah!

00:44:45.000 Good friend of the show.

00:44:47.000 He's obviously a good friend of the show because he's also on the CRTV network.

00:44:50.000 If you're a member of Mug Club, you get his show there as well. 0.77

00:44:53.000 It's MarkLevinShow.com.

00:44:54.000 He's all over radio as well.

00:44:56.000 Levin TV is the program.

00:44:57.000 The great one, Mr. Mark Levin.

00:44:59.000 How are you, sir?

00:45:00.000 I'm good, Steve.

00:45:01.000 How are you?

00:45:03.000 I'm okay.

00:45:04.000 I'm a little bit tired of the news, a little bit tired of all of the things.

00:45:09.000 We were just talking with Paul Joseph Watson about this big deplatforming, and I wanted to get your opinion on this, because I know, listen, there's no love lost for you on a personal level with you and Alex Jones as far as what you would agree or disagree on, but we've seen a lot of people from across the political spectrum say, okay, all right, this is a really slippery slope right now.

00:45:28.000 Where do you line up on this, and do you think that at some point you could be in the crosshairs?

00:45:33.000 I don't know Alex Jones.

00:45:35.000 Honestly, I've never listened to Alex Jones.

00:45:37.000 I read about Alex Jones.

00:45:39.000 And you know what that tells me?

00:45:40.000 What harm is a guy doing? 0.99

00:45:41.000 He may be a goofball. 0.98

00:45:43.000 He may be way out there. 0.98

00:45:44.000 He may be a lot of things.

00:45:46.000 But it's like anything else.

00:45:47.000 You don't want to watch, you don't watch.

00:45:49.000 You don't want to listen, you don't listen.

00:45:50.000 You don't want to read about them, you don't read about them.

00:45:52.000 I'll tell you what I'm sick of.

00:45:53.000 I'm sick of modern day book burning.

00:45:55.000 I'm sick of taking statues down that people don't like.

00:45:58.000 I'm sick of taking people off who you don't like and so forth and so on.

00:46:01.000 I'll tell you what else is amazing. 0.97

00:46:03.000 The left is nuts. 1.00

00:46:04.000 The mainstream left is nuts. 1.00

00:46:07.000 They're on MSNBC, CNN. 0.99

00:46:09.000 They have guests that say the most outrageous things.

00:46:11.000 Nobody talks about taking them off the air.

00:46:14.000 And then we have to hear about their protecting free speech when they're not.

00:46:17.000 Then we have to hear they're protecting freedom of the press when they're not.

00:46:20.000 So, so many crazy things are being said by so many crazy people on so many platforms.

00:46:25.000 If I pick on one nut, you can pick on a whole lot of nuts.

00:46:29.000 So my attitude is, let it go.

00:46:30.000 Yeah, you can pick on all these nuts.

00:46:32.000 I do think, you know, if you're talking about mainstream leftists, a good example, because like you said, you've read about Alex Jones, right?

00:46:38.000 Well, if you read from the left about anybody, you're going to get a slanted view.

00:46:41.000 And let's take Alex Jones out of the equation, but let's take Cortez, you know, Nina Pinta Santa Maria Cortez. 1.00

00:46:46.000 They're this current democratic socialist in chief.

00:46:51.000 Ben Shapiro called her out, as he does for a debate, and she said that he was catcalling her.

00:46:55.000 Now, if you were to read the articles from the left, you'd believe that Ben Shapiro is some kind of a hoodlum catcalling a potential DNC candidate.

00:47:02.000 That's not accurate.

00:47:03.000 So then what does that do?

00:47:04.000 It leads us down the trail to maybe deplatforming Ben Shapiro.

00:47:07.000 They call him alt-right.

00:47:08.000 They call myself alt-right.

00:47:10.000 That really is my concern here, because they use the same tactics against everyone, and that can be turned on either of us.

00:47:18.000 Yeah, now, Joy Reid was never deplatformed, was she?

00:47:22.000 And the things that she said. 0.81

00:47:24.000 How about the kook that now writes for the editorial page of the New York Times with this hideous, outrageous, poisonous language about white men and whites this and whites that? 0.97

00:47:33.000 She got a promotion. 0.84

00:47:35.000 So by that, you know, Alex Jones should be writing for the New York Times editorial board.

00:47:39.000 Yeah, I think it makes about as much sense.

00:47:41.000 We were talking earlier in the break about Omarosa.

00:47:45.000 I'm thinking Ponderosa Steakhouse.

00:47:47.000 I'm hungry.

00:47:50.000 If you hear Ponderosa Steakhouse and you're hungry, you need a DeLorean, because I don't think there are any more of those.

00:47:56.000 What do you make of this?

00:47:58.000 These things get so convoluted, stories like Stormy Daniels now apparently might run for office.

00:48:04.000 You just go, okay, these things seem so politically motivated.

00:48:06.000 It's hard to really sort of piecemeal this into the truth.

00:48:10.000 What's been your take on this situation?

00:48:12.000 I know it's died down a little bit, but Monday it was the most important story of the year, apparently.

00:48:19.000 My take on this is how we dumbed down America.

00:48:22.000 I mean, honestly, nobody cares about Omarosa, Ponderosa, Stormy Daniels.

00:48:26.000 Nobody cares about any of this stuff.

00:48:28.000 But these are puppets for the media to use to attack Trump.

00:48:32.000 That's what it's all about.

00:48:34.000 Right.

00:48:34.000 Omarosa was hated by the left.

00:48:36.000 All of a sudden, they love her.

00:48:38.000 It's like Jim Comey.

00:48:39.000 They wanted him fired.

00:48:40.000 Trump fires him.

00:48:41.000 All of a sudden, he's an angel.

00:48:42.000 We got to use Jim Comey.

00:48:44.000 Yeah, I think the problem here It kind of goes back to the de-platforming.

00:48:50.000 You and I, most of your viewers, most of mine, believe in freedom of the press.

00:48:55.000 We believe in the First Amendment and freedom of speech.

00:48:57.000 That's great.

00:48:59.000 And then the media says, if you attack them, you're attacking freedom of the press.

00:49:02.000 No, we're not attacking freedom of the press.

00:49:04.000 Who's attacking freedom of the press?

00:49:06.000 We couldn't shut down the press if we wanted to.

00:49:08.000 No. 0.95

00:49:09.000 We're attacking the knuckleheads. 0.98

00:49:11.000 We're attacking the fact that they have degraded what press means.

00:49:16.000 We're attacking this one ideological bent, pretty much, in the media. 0.93

00:49:20.000 We're attacking the fact that there's so many important things going on in the world, And they bring in porn stars, and they're goofball lawyers, and they bring in Omarosa.

00:49:28.000 I don't know why I find it so funny to hear the great one, Mark Levin, say the word porn stars. 0.85

00:49:31.000 Porn stars?

00:49:32.000 I don't know, it just, there's something, I never thought I heard that.

00:49:36.000 I would never, it'd be like, you know, Bernie Sanders uttering, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!

00:49:41.000 You don't expect it.

00:49:42.000 But no, I think you're right.

00:49:43.000 Here, let me kind of pause this one thing.

00:49:45.000 Imagine on the flip side, the left absolutely has the ability to completely eliminate right-wing press.

00:49:50.000 They completely have the ability to silence us, if not for the internet, and if not, of course, for now social media, which eventually will bypass.

00:49:56.000 And that's why they're like a baby being put in his crib, throwing a tantrum before nap time.

00:50:02.000 They did have that ability.

00:50:04.000 That's a very important point.

00:50:05.000 You know, Every five years or so, they take a run at the conservative talk radio and try and put that out of business, try and create fairness.

00:50:13.000 You know, it's always, the iron fist is always hidden behind fairness and reform.

00:50:18.000 You had a memo circulating by Mark Warner.

00:50:21.000 He's the senior Tourette senator from the state of Virginia, you may notice.

00:50:25.000 And this guy, he's talking, he puts a memo out about basically how to nationalize the internet.

00:50:30.000 They always want to nationalize stuff on behalf of freedom and equity.

00:50:33.000 Right.

00:50:34.000 So they're the ones attacking the Internet.

00:50:35.000 They're the ones who attack talk radio.

00:50:37.000 They're the ones who attack Fox.

00:50:39.000 Do you know any serious conservative who wants to shut down any media platform or who wants to nationalize the Internet?

00:50:45.000 I can't think of any.

00:50:47.000 No, you know, and I don't think that we really want to shut down any media because we more so just want to watch them suffer.

00:50:53.000 And we want to talk!

00:50:54.000 Yeah!

00:50:55.000 We have a lot of ideas, and we want to get them out, and we want to get them out to as many people as we possibly can.

00:51:00.000 Yeah.

00:51:00.000 That's why you're as big as you are, and some others are as big as they are.

00:51:04.000 The reason is, we like ideas, we like to engage.

00:51:07.000 No, I think you're absolutely right, and that's, you know, I've grown up, I had to pirate talk radio, because I was in Montreal, we didn't really have it, so I had to pirate it across from Plattsburgh, New York.

00:51:16.000 I've talked about that, because we had government-run media exclusively back then.

00:51:21.000 And a lot of people don't realize that.

00:51:22.000 I said, no, you don't need to go to Venezuela.

00:51:23.000 Basically, picture NPR times a million, and it was our only news source for the longest time.

00:51:28.000 Yeah, it really is spine-chillingly scary when you think of what's going on right now, because I hear the left a lot.

00:51:35.000 You know, they talk about corporations, man, and the government, man.

00:51:37.000 And listen, I understand.

00:51:38.000 Listen, there's crony capitalism, absolutely.

00:51:40.000 But to say that corporations are an arm of the government, and they're doing censorship on behalf of the government, and going, well, hold on a second.

00:51:46.000 We think all of social media is censoring Alex Jones for Donald Trump, but if the shoe's on the other foot, Imagine Hillary Clinton in office right now.

00:51:53.000 That's a scary thought.

00:51:54.000 How many corporations are really run by conservatives?

00:51:57.000 Very, very few.

00:51:58.000 Very few.

00:51:59.000 They hate corporations that are in, you know, do things like make it possible to be warm during the winter and cooler during the summer.

00:52:07.000 We call those oil companies.

00:52:08.000 You know, they hate companies like that because that's just who they are.

00:52:12.000 But most corporations are not run by conservatives.

00:52:16.000 Most CEOs are not conservative.

00:52:18.000 In fact, Most billionaires aren't even conservative.

00:52:21.000 Some are, most are not.

00:52:23.000 And so, they talk about, like, there's this cabal of corporations that are out to get the little guy.

00:52:28.000 No, it's actually big, centralized, iron-fisted, autocratic government that's out to get the little guy.

00:52:34.000 Well, I think that's a good point.

00:52:35.000 There's a stark contrast, because people can look at this.

00:52:37.000 People can look at the statistics for small and mid-sized businesses.

00:52:40.000 Most of those business owners are conservative.

00:52:42.000 But when you get to a certain point where you're effectively a lobbying group, and a lot of big businesses are, you learn how to play ball, and you end up at least installing as CEOs some people who know how to play political football.

00:52:53.000 And that's kind of what you see with a lot of these big corporations.

00:52:55.000 Not the same for mid and upstart businesses.

00:52:59.000 All right, we do have to get going.

00:53:00.000 We can't talk for that long, and I know you're tired and I'm tired.

00:53:02.000 We've both had long weeks.

00:53:05.000 Fiscal responsibility!

00:53:07.000 Oh my God!

00:53:07.000 And stormy!

00:53:09.000 She's very bosomy! 1.00

00:53:09.000 I like her! 1.00

00:53:12.000 At Mark Levin's show, LevinTV on CRTV.

00:53:15.000 Is there anything anywhere else where people can support you?

00:53:17.000 The Great One.

00:53:18.000 Yes, my bank account's available.

00:53:22.000 I don't need anything.

00:53:23.000 I'm doing fine.

00:53:24.000 Right now, there's a Russian watching this going, I will get the transfer code. 1.00

00:53:28.000 All right.

00:53:29.000 OK, that is LevinTV at CRTV.

00:53:31.000 Thank you very much, Mr. Levin.

00:53:32.000 I appreciate you taking the time.

00:53:33.000 Go get some rest.

00:53:34.000 God bless, brother.

00:53:35.000 I can't stop itching my head.

00:53:44.000 Yeah, copy spitting. 0.54

00:53:45.000 I noticed that.

00:53:46.000 You probably really annoyed, huh?

00:53:48.000 Being all itchy.

00:53:50.000 Yeah.

00:53:51.000 I have no idea why, though.

00:53:52.000 It's just so itchy.

00:53:53.000 Yeah, I know.

00:53:54.000 It's not like there's any person who'd put poison ivy in your shampoo.

00:53:57.000 No way!

00:53:58.000 Who'd do that? 0.99

00:55:06.000 No.

00:55:07.000 Yeah.

00:55:07.000 Are you doing better?

00:55:09.000 I'm okay.

00:55:09.000 I don't think we can fix that in post, just so you know.

00:55:12.000 There are some things that are beyond fixing in post.

00:55:15.000 By the way, you've been a horrible hood pass.

00:55:17.000 Leave that high-pitched squeal. 0.56

00:55:19.000 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:55:20.000 You are not going to earn us any points if the... We're going to have to send you... I'm going to get shot. 0.97

00:55:24.000 We're going to have to send you into a NAACP, some kind of a conference, and see what they do with you. 0.99

00:55:28.000 Let's see.

00:55:29.000 We'll see what happens.

00:55:30.000 Don't worry, we'll protect you.

00:55:31.000 Have you ever been to one of those?

00:55:32.000 Have you ever been to, like, an all-black deal? 0.73

00:55:34.000 No, I mean, I've been to, like, a black church.

00:55:36.000 Really?

00:55:36.000 Well, yeah, but do they treat you as one of their own?

00:55:39.000 No.

00:55:41.000 No?

00:55:42.000 I went to an Ethiopian church when I was in L.A.

00:55:42.000 Okay.

00:55:44.000 They did not at all as well.

00:55:47.000 Thank you so much Paul Joseph Watson and Mark Levin.

00:55:48.000 We really appreciate it.

00:55:49.000 Next week in third chair we're going to have Razorfist in there. 0.99

00:55:51.000 Yeah.

00:55:52.000 We're going to have Brodigan back.

00:55:53.000 We're going to have the Hodgetwins back. 1.00

00:55:54.000 We're going to have Nick DiPaolo hopefully really soon coming out there.

00:55:57.000 Boss Rutan in November.

00:55:59.000 So really excited.

00:56:00.000 You know we've been talking the last couple of weeks about this and that's because most news they take off all of August.

00:56:06.000 The deplatforming.

00:56:08.000 Whether it's the progressives who are setting the stage for the DNC in November, that's kind of a conspiracy, or whether it's a violation of free speech, whether these companies constitute a monopoly, whether they need to be regulated as public utilities, and everyone kind of has a different opinion.

00:56:21.000 And I know a lot of you feel like, or a lot of you have expressed, that you don't think you have definitive answers.

00:56:27.000 That's because, in this case, there aren't a lot of definitive answers.

00:56:29.000 But let me give you something definitive, okay?

00:56:32.000 This, right now, what's happening?

00:56:34.000 This is a hill I'm willing to die on.

00:56:37.000 That's as definitive as I can give you as it relates to us.

00:56:42.000 What do I mean by that?

00:56:43.000 We created Mug Club specifically for this reason, so that everyone can actually continue to make a living and continue to create content that you know and love, hopefully, sometimes.

00:56:53.000 Moderately like.

00:56:55.000 Because we've suffered from this for a long time.

00:56:55.000 Why?

00:56:56.000 You know, demonetization.

00:56:58.000 Surprisingly not as bad as some, actually, the demonetization, but worse in the restricted mode.

00:57:02.000 I think all our videos except for 12 are in restricted mode.

00:57:06.000 Obviously more so strikes and false copyright.

00:57:08.000 So much so that that's actually why we've had to put half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond on retainer.

00:57:11.000 So we're hiring new people.

00:57:13.000 You can go check things out on the website for people who are looking to apply.

00:57:17.000 There's been a golden ticket for those who are Mug Club members. 0.99

00:57:17.000 There's been a process. 0.99

00:57:19.000 You already know The rules, the stipulations for people watching, you're just going to have to join Mucklib to figure it out.

00:57:24.000 But we're moving into yet an even larger space, bringing in people like we talked about, like Owen Benjamin, Hodgewins, Razorfist next week, Nick DiPaolo, and these people are going to be here for days in studio for you.

00:57:34.000 Why is including more people becoming such a priority for this show?

00:57:38.000 Because we want people with the balls out there to take a stand and know that we have their back.

00:57:42.000 And this is something that occurred to me not that long, really, this week.

00:57:45.000 Do you know how many conservative shows Quarterback Garrett, Owen Benjamin had done before this show?

00:57:51.000 No.

00:57:52.000 None.

00:57:52.000 Do you know how many the Hodge twins had done before they were on this show?

00:57:56.000 None.

00:57:57.000 Razorfist?

00:57:57.000 Zero.

00:57:58.000 None.

00:57:59.000 Nick DiPaolo?

00:58:00.000 Zero.

00:58:01.000 Andrew Bogut?

00:58:02.000 Zero.

00:58:02.000 Daniel Cormier?

00:58:04.000 Zero.

00:58:05.000 George St.

00:58:05.000 Pierre?

00:58:06.000 Zero.

00:58:07.000 Ralph Macchio?

00:58:08.000 Zero.

00:58:08.000 These are people who have never, ever in their lives done a conservative show.

00:58:12.000 They don't do political talk radio.

00:58:14.000 But they came on this show. 0.99

00:58:16.000 They had the balls to do it. 0.95

00:58:17.000 Now, in some cases, like Owen Benjamin, like Nick DiPaolo, then they end up being out of the closet as a conservative forevermore. 0.97

00:58:23.000 And you know what?

00:58:23.000 That's a pretty tough stance to take right now.

00:58:26.000 And so we want them to know that we have their back.

00:58:27.000 We want to include as many people, kind of rotate them throughout the studio.

00:58:31.000 You let us know who you like there.

00:58:32.000 But it's important to me when you realize that responsibility.

00:58:37.000 And the only way to do it, the only way to bring them out, obviously, flying them out, is my club.

00:58:41.000 That's the only way we know how.

00:58:42.000 The full show is up there every single day.

00:58:44.000 Yeah.

00:58:44.000 down here.

00:58:45.000 And we've had a lot of people say this, like we need to, and you, we've both talked about

00:58:48.000 this, uploading to other platforms.

00:58:49.000 And you know, for a long time we thought about Vimeo.

00:58:51.000 People said, well, why don't you upload all your videos to Vimeo?

00:58:53.000 Well, we just saw Vimeo removed, Alex Jones too.

00:58:56.000 Yep.

00:58:57.000 Vimeo.

00:58:58.000 Patreon has moved thousands of people.

00:59:00.000 They've completely removed them, often for political reasons.

00:59:02.000 The point is that if you don't control it entirely, you are always at the mercy of the

00:59:06.000 Silicon Valley mob.

00:59:08.000 They take a cut and they get to control what it is you do and where you get to play.

00:59:13.000 And they think it's the only way.

00:59:15.000 But because we don't use MugClub as a bait and switch, we actually use it and the support

00:59:19.000 that we get from you to provide more content on YouTube than ever.

00:59:21.000 Why?

00:59:22.000 Because we actually think it's a big part of our mission.

00:59:23.000 We see millions of people, and not just the people we've just talked about who are higher profile, but millions of other people who've changed their minds, who've opened up their minds as a result of this show.

00:59:33.000 Not just the show, we're not the only ones.

00:59:34.000 There are a lot of other people out there.

00:59:35.000 There's Ben Shapiro, there are people like Dave Rubin, there's Jordan Peterson, of course.

00:59:38.000 But this is the way we're able to do it, with a late night comedy show.

00:59:41.000 And if YouTube tries to de-platform us, or if they start doing it to everyone else, not including us...

00:59:48.000 This is a hill I'm willing to die on.

00:59:50.000 If conservatism dies on social media as a whole, it will be because we were here, having done everything we possibly could, and you'll find this entire crew dead on that hill.

01:00:02.000 Now, here's one thing, too.

01:00:03.000 Everyone has to pick hills that they're willing to die on.

01:00:04.000 You've heard me talk about this.

01:00:05.000 Not just in this, but of course overall in general in life.

01:00:09.000 You pick a point.

01:00:10.000 Everyone draws a line on the sand at some point.

01:00:12.000 You choose your hill.

01:00:13.000 Is it your marriage?

01:00:15.000 Are you willing to die on the hill that keeps it together, regardless of how much you argue, or how wrong you may think you are for each other, how wrong you may think she or he is in this argument, how unhappy it may feel?

01:00:24.000 Is that the hill you're willing to die on?

01:00:27.000 Is it your dreams?

01:00:28.000 Are you willing to die on the hill that makes them happen?

01:00:30.000 Regardless of how many doors get slammed in your face, regardless of the professional, the personal humiliations I've experienced, almost all of them, including nearly soiling myself before the Just for Laughs festival, regardless of how many of the so-called friends you lose, is it your beliefs?

01:00:43.000 Are you willing to die on the hill to stand true to your convictions?

01:00:45.000 Regardless of how many work opportunities you lose, like Owen, how many teachers don't like you, I get your emails, believe me, after the YAF conference, I hear you, how many Fs you get, are you willing to die on the hill of your convictions?

01:00:59.000 In our case, when it comes to YouTube, by the way, it's not about entitlement.

01:01:02.000 I want to make this really clear.

01:01:03.000 It's about an agreement.

01:01:05.000 They, YouTube, all of these social media giants, but particularly YouTube, have corded our business, Loddorth Crowder's business, and repeatedly asked us, they've asked us to invest on this platform, and to invest in you, the viewers, here.

01:01:18.000 And we have.

01:01:19.000 And I know some of you can't afford Mug Club yet, so we do what we can, we upload as much free content as we can.

01:01:23.000 But we're aware of the impact that we have, and I'm incredibly grateful.

01:01:26.000 I don't get a big head about it, I wake up in cold sweats because of the impact that you have given us here so generously.

01:01:32.000 And to keep that impact going, that they hate, I'm willing to die on this hill.

01:01:37.000 I'm willing to pay whatever it takes to fight the hard strikes, and we have.

01:01:41.000 Many, many, many tens of thousands of dollars.

01:01:44.000 I'm willing to put whatever lawyers we have to on retainer.

01:01:47.000 I'm willing to fight it out in the public.

01:01:48.000 I'm willing to fight it out on social media, all of these platforms.

01:01:51.000 I am willing to fight it out in the courts behind closed doors.

01:01:54.000 I, and I know the rest of this team, we're willing to make the hard decisions needed.

01:01:59.000 in picking people next to us all as we prepare for this we know like you've heard me talk about this a long time we know that this has been coming down the pike the question was just of when and so it's important that we have everyone as you've seen in this studio people who are also willing to die on the hill to make sure that you and the rest of you Watching you are not alone.

01:02:17.000 Whatever it takes.

01:02:18.000 That's where we are with this right now.

01:02:20.000 And whether you agree with Alex Jones or not, it's whatever it takes.

01:02:24.000 That's where we are.

01:02:25.000 Whatever it takes to fight this at every single point.

01:02:28.000 And by the way, when I say whatever it takes, that doesn't mean there's a guaranteed victory.

01:02:31.000 Hell, we could all get deplatformed maybe even tomorrow and we all lose.

01:02:36.000 Maybe we will die on that hill. 0.90

01:02:38.000 Maybe you will too.

01:02:39.000 But you know what?

01:02:40.000 I know that if we're not willing to, there's no chance at us climbing it anyway.

01:02:45.000 If we're not willing to roll the dice.

01:02:47.000 And you all have those moments where you have to pick them.

01:02:50.000 And I guarantee you that I and everyone who works here will do whatever it takes to stay there and hold that hill first.

01:02:56.000 You want to be there with me?

01:02:57.000 You've all got to pick your hills.

01:02:59.000 And here's the thing, isn't it glorious when people talk about this, we talk about the hill to dine, and often you hear this as, well, is that the hill you want to dine at work?

01:03:05.000 Right?

01:03:05.000 You know, is that the hill you want to dine with an argument with your wife?

01:03:08.000 Actually, it should be used not as a pejorative, it should be used in a positive light, because isn't it glorious that in the end, instead of going out like some tired, feeble coward, you at least get to pick out how you get taken out. So I don't know what's going to

01:03:23.000 happen with everyone else being deplatformed, but I do know that it's not going to happen to us without

01:03:28.000 the ugliest tooth and nail dog fight that we can give them. And that happens with your support.

01:03:34.000 So you have to decide.

01:03:35.000 Are you willing to die on this hill?

01:03:38.000 Are you willing to die on the First Amendment hill?

01:03:39.000 Are you willing to die on the hill right now when they are trying to silence everyone who disagrees with them?

01:03:43.000 You don't even have to agree with me.

01:03:45.000 You certainly don't have to.

01:03:45.000 I don't agree with Alex Jones on a whole lot.

01:03:48.000 You don't have to agree with any of us.

01:03:49.000 You just have to agree with the basic concept that there needs to be an open platform for people to express their point of view.

01:03:56.000 Or, if you enter into a business contract that you can't screw somebody simply because you disagree with them, are you willing to die on that hill?

01:04:05.000 Because I am.

01:04:05.000 So good.

01:04:07.000 Start by joining my club or buying a Walter.

01:04:08.000 That's your first step.

01:04:10.000 And you can watch more videos.
