Louder with Crowder - Meltdown INCOMING: Elon Brings Back FREE SPEECH on Twitter! | Louder with Crowder

00:00:00.000 Outro Music Will you fight?

00:00:24.000 Aye, speak out and you may be banned from YouTube.

00:00:28.000 Be silent and you'll keep your channels, at least for a while, and working in your cubicle many years from now.

00:00:38.000 Would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell the Fauci's, the Pfizer's, the Moderna's, that they may try and force the mandates, but they'll never take our freedom!

00:00:59.000 Guys?

00:01:00.000 No, I know, I know, we heard you, William.

00:01:03.000 It's just...

00:01:05.000 What if we get the COVID?

00:01:07.000 The what?

00:01:08.000 Aye, it's got a 0.3% mortality rate.

00:01:12.000 0.3?

00:01:12.000 That's almost half a point.

00:01:14.000 It's only a 98% survival rate.

00:01:17.000 And that warrants giving up your freedom.

00:01:20.000 OK, William.

00:01:21.000 You're not taking into account... What about the Omicron?

00:01:24.000 The Omicron.

00:01:26.000 He doesn't even do well with colds.

00:01:28.000 No, last year I had a sinus infection.

00:01:29.000 He was scratchy for weeks.

00:01:31.000 He was going like that.

00:01:34.000 For crying out loud, they're rounding up horses in camps!

00:01:37.000 Eh, okay, I hear they're not that bad.

00:01:39.000 Yeah, no, they have air conditioning.

00:01:40.000 They have Wi-Fi.

00:01:41.000 Oh, they've got air conditioning.

00:01:42.000 It's muggy enough as it is.

00:01:43.000 Yeah, I could use it.

00:01:44.000 I can't believe my ears and what I'm hearing from able-bodied young men.

00:01:49.000 Ah, William, that's not the whole story now, is it?

00:01:52.000 I've got a pre-existing condition.

00:01:54.000 Hey, and me too.

00:01:55.000 I've got fibromyalgia.

00:01:57.000 And social anxiety is no walk in the park.

00:02:00.000 No, it's crippling.

00:02:01.000 Oh, for cripes sake, I said able-bodied.

00:02:04.000 Well, William, able-bodied's a loaded word.

00:02:06.000 I mean, you're the one throwing able-bodied around.

00:02:08.000 You're throwing around terms.

00:02:10.000 You need to be more careful with your vocabulary, especially in a pandemic.

00:02:13.000 All right, all right, okay.

00:02:15.000 What would be required for you to fight for your freedom?

00:02:20.000 I don't understand the question.

00:02:22.000 Okay, alright.

00:02:23.000 It started with two weeks to flatten the curves, yeah?

00:02:27.000 Then masks... Actually, I'll stop you there, William.

00:02:29.000 It was, at first, no masks, but it... There was only, uh, there was only because of, uh, what is it, the PPE shortages?

00:02:37.000 The PPE shortages, right.

00:02:38.000 Right, but then it was masks, then no masks, but I understand, okay, I understand your point.

00:02:42.000 I get your point.

00:02:43.000 You really couldn't make... Alright, okay, so first it was lockdowns, then it was masks.

00:02:47.000 No masks.

00:02:48.000 And then... Masks, then no masks, right?

00:02:51.000 Then it was the vaccines.

00:02:52.000 And the boosters.

00:02:53.000 Yeah, like a seat.

00:02:54.000 Yeah, yep.

00:02:55.000 Like I got one.

00:02:55.000 Okay, so first it was lockdowns.

00:02:57.000 Then masks and no masks.

00:02:59.000 Then two vaccines plus a booster.

00:03:02.000 Then vaccine mandates.

00:03:03.000 Then vaccine passports in Europe, in New York, required simply to go to grocery stores, restaurants, movies.

00:03:10.000 Then countries started creating quarantine camps.

00:03:13.000 Yeah, no, don't forget about... Don't forget the... Don't forget the... Yeah, that sounds about right.

00:03:19.000 Yeah, no, I think he got all of it.

00:03:21.000 He did.

00:03:21.000 That's... Yes.

00:03:22.000 And you don't see any problem with this?

00:03:24.000 You know, it is what it is.

00:03:26.000 That's life, isn't it?

00:03:27.000 What would it take?

00:03:28.000 What freedoms will you fight for when you're dying in your bed many years from now?

00:03:34.000 If we're part of the 99.89%.

00:03:35.000 the 99.89% and if you're part of the 99.8% dying in your bed many years from now, would

00:03:44.000 you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance to

00:03:50.000 Just one chance?

00:03:52.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:03:54.000 Full stop.

00:03:56.000 ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪

00:04:47.000 -♪♪ Well, I won't taste anything.

00:04:54.000 It's almost like I have the COVID.

00:04:55.000 Well, you made it yourself.

00:04:56.000 I did.

00:04:56.000 Self-loathing.

00:04:58.000 Burning hot tea.

00:04:59.000 I blame Mr. James Lipton.

00:05:02.000 He's not the same guy behind the tea, but I got it.

00:05:04.000 Hey, look, it's a happy day today.

00:05:06.000 I know it was a happy day yesterday, but yesterday when we were talking with you, the deal was announced, but it wasn't finalized.

00:05:12.000 Now, Elon Musk, it's agreed upon.

00:05:15.000 Purchasing Twitter!

00:05:18.000 Which, by the way, you can follow me on the Twitter, just crossed one and a half million, which I didn't even notice.

00:05:24.000 I didn't even know I was on there.

00:05:26.000 It's weird how follower accounts have gone up recently.

00:05:28.000 Yes they have.

00:05:29.000 In the last day specifically.

00:05:30.000 In the last day specifically, you can follow Gerald at gmorganjr, don't know why he has a horrible handle, and Dave Landau at landaudave, but that's not your official introduction, everyone shut up.

00:05:39.000 So, we have Sean King on the show today.

00:05:42.000 I'm excited.

00:05:43.000 Really?

00:05:43.000 Yeah.

00:05:44.000 Dr. King.

00:05:46.000 Junior.

00:05:46.000 Is he a doctor?

00:05:47.000 Yeah.

00:05:48.000 He has a dream.

00:05:49.000 That he's actually a black guy.

00:05:49.000 Oh.

00:05:51.000 Oh, is that it? 0.99

00:05:52.000 He's a doctor of blackness. 0.98

00:05:54.000 Yes, he's a doctor of... The only ginger Well, no, they're albino black guys. 1.00

00:05:59.000 But, I mean, the only white guy, Ginger, who's a black guy. 0.54

00:06:04.000 We should be nicer since we have him on the show.

00:06:05.000 We're glad he's at the end of the arena.

00:06:08.000 We have him on the show today.

00:06:10.000 Here's one thing I want to point out.

00:06:12.000 Everyone's talking about Elon Musk and Twitter.

00:06:15.000 Sure.

00:06:17.000 What I always look to, and I want you guys to watch for, you know, I've always said this, where I don't want you guys to look to my arguments if I make them.

00:06:26.000 I want you to learn how to create your own arguments.

00:06:29.000 That's why we try and make all the references available at loudearthcrowder.com.

00:06:33.000 The link will be in the description.

00:06:35.000 Used to be the pinned comment, but now we have pinned comment competitions, so it's in the description.

00:06:40.000 I try and make them available so that you can If nothing else, learn not how to think, learn how to learn.

00:06:46.000 People learn differently.

00:06:47.000 That's why you see boys, they don't do well in grade school, they don't do well in high school, but they tend to blow women out of the water on the SATs, or do significantly better. 0.97

00:06:56.000 And the reason for that is not that one is smarter or dumber as far as men and women, the reason for it is that men are now allowed to, with the SAT study, in a way that they effectively learn. 0.66

00:07:06.000 Everyone learns a little bit differently.

00:07:08.000 I did not learn very well in school.

00:07:09.000 So I try and provide you resources.

00:07:11.000 And one thing that I would encourage you to always do is look for the reaction away from the puck.

00:07:18.000 And what do I mean by that?

00:07:18.000 Well, people have talked about this with acting, you know, it's reacting.

00:07:21.000 Okay.

00:07:22.000 It's not that Elon Musk has purchased Twitter.

00:07:24.000 Don't look to the, you know, the touchdown dance that you see.

00:07:27.000 That's fun.

00:07:28.000 We'll do some of that.

00:07:30.000 But ask yourself why one side is so furious, and ask yourself, is it consistent with when they've been outraged in the past?

00:07:38.000 To me, what's more telling is not the purchase, is not the victory dance, is the left freaking out, melting down, losing their minds, and the why.

00:07:48.000 Because nothing has changed yet.

00:07:51.000 The only information that we have is Elon Musk has purchased Twitter.

00:07:54.000 It's been agreed upon.

00:07:56.000 And that he has said, well, he said he's going to get rid of spam bots, we should all be on board with, so no one's outraged about that, he's going to verify all humans, well, okay, no one should be mad about that, and he said he wants more transparency, no one should be mad about that, and that free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, of a free society, and he said that it will be more free.

00:08:17.000 That's the only information we have available right now.

00:08:19.000 Why is only one side freaking out?

00:08:23.000 Why is only when people say it's not left or it's not right, do you see people on the right?

00:08:28.000 Freaking out.

00:08:29.000 The freak out, I would argue, is people are now expecting not different treatment, the exact same kind of treatment as everyone else.

00:08:36.000 Because for a long time, there's been an imbalance of power.

00:08:39.000 For reference, see every single Jack Dorsey interview, whether it's on Joe Rogan or look at the Priya, whatever, I can't pronounce her name, but probably not going to work there anymore, at Twitter with Tim Pool.

00:08:50.000 The reaction and the why is what's most telling to me.

00:08:52.000 So let me ask you this.

00:08:54.000 Why?

00:08:55.000 Do you think there's this meltdown?

00:08:56.000 That's obvious.

00:08:57.000 But what do you think is going to change at Twitter?

00:08:59.000 That's the question of the day.

00:08:59.000 Comment below.

00:09:01.000 With Elon Musk in the ownership.

00:09:02.000 Do you expect big changes or do you think it's going to be more of the same?

00:09:06.000 I don't think it's going to be a monumental shift.

00:09:07.000 I think what's going to happen is just I'm going to get fewer suspensions.

00:09:11.000 People like us are going to get fewer suspensions.

00:09:13.000 Going to get fewer infractions.

00:09:14.000 I hope that they lift the algorithmic throttling Yes.

00:09:17.000 Which we don't know with Twitter, but obviously it was baked into the page at Facebook and they let us know.

00:09:21.000 And then with YouTube they let us know that these things were happening.

00:09:23.000 Twitter we really haven't been all that involved with for a long time.

00:09:26.000 It's just kind of tossing stuff up and let the cards fall where they may.

00:09:29.000 But we're going to be talking about that and more and have Sean King, Gerald A. at G. Morgan Jr.

00:09:34.000 on the Twitter.

00:09:34.000 How are you, sir?

00:09:35.000 I am well.

00:09:36.000 How are you?

00:09:37.000 I'm okay.

00:09:37.000 It's a free day.

00:09:38.000 I popped my rib out yesterday after the surgery thing, so I don't know if you can see.

00:09:42.000 I have this icy hot patch.

00:09:44.000 That'll fix a rib. 1.00

00:09:45.000 Well, it doesn't work because all the nerves are killed since the surgery. 0.99

00:09:48.000 I didn't know your vagina was that high. 1.00

00:09:50.000 That's not nice! 1.00

00:09:51.000 Look at the profanity right away.

00:09:53.000 That's a medical term.

00:09:54.000 What do you mean, profanity?

00:09:56.000 Holy roller over here. 0.85

00:09:57.000 How much language.

00:09:59.000 Sailor Monster.

00:10:00.000 Haggard.

00:10:00.000 I'm sorry, show me your icy hot patch again.

00:10:03.000 Yes, I was doing it to be titillating.

00:10:06.000 Because that's what I do.

00:10:07.000 This is the male equivalent to lingerie. 0.92

00:10:09.000 This really gets the ladies revving. 1.00

00:10:12.000 You know.

00:10:14.000 I look like E.T.

00:10:15.000 when he's in Elliot, when they're all patched up and he's in that little, what is it, little frozen casket?

00:10:20.000 Icebox! 0.61

00:10:22.000 I'm just glad they switched all the guns to walkie-talkie so I can watch it with my child.

00:10:25.000 Yes, I know.

00:10:26.000 Makes it better.

00:10:27.000 Yeah, no, what scared me as a child was not so much the guns, but the tubes going down the suburban area and them walking in like spacemen and the dying alien.

00:10:35.000 Yes, yeah, the government trying to kill a Reese's Pieces eating alien.

00:10:39.000 Yes, exactly.

00:10:40.000 Yeah, that was more terrifying.

00:10:41.000 A cross-dressing alien. 0.99

00:10:44.000 We all know aliens are transvestites. 1.00

00:10:47.000 Dressed as a girl, that'll trick everybody. 1.00

00:10:49.000 Oh, I don't know if you know this, a funny fact, fast fact about E.T., if you look closely enough in that closet scene, you can see the coke under Drew Braymore's nose.

00:10:58.000 She had a busy night the night before.

00:11:01.000 There from the beginning.

00:11:03.000 Phone!

00:11:04.000 He said, phone!

00:11:06.000 Now, you can follow him at Landau Dave, and I will be doing some dates with him.

00:11:11.000 The last one before the summer break is June 18th.

00:11:14.000 We will both be together.

00:11:16.000 Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs.

00:11:18.000 That's June 18th, and he'll be in Green Bay.

00:11:20.000 Saturday, lightoffcarter.com slash tour.

00:11:22.000 Big announcement for the fall tour.

00:11:23.000 Going to be some big cities.

00:11:24.000 How are you, Dave?

00:11:25.000 Good, ahoy, I'm good.

00:11:26.000 I got almost a thousand Twitter followers in the last day.

00:11:29.000 Really?

00:11:29.000 Not even kidding.

00:11:30.000 No.

00:11:30.000 Mine shot up too, I have no idea.

00:11:31.000 Is that what happened?

00:11:32.000 I'm not kidding.

00:11:33.000 Not even kidding.

00:11:34.000 I told Johnny Boy before the show, I was just like, hey, uh, oh my gosh, what's going on?

00:11:38.000 You guys should know this.

00:11:39.000 I know social media very well as far as the algorithms and what's going on politically and I had to learn this, but I really, I'm a very Private person, personally.

00:11:47.000 So I don't really like social media.

00:11:49.000 So I don't pay attention to followers.

00:11:51.000 That's the last thing I look at is follower counts.

00:11:53.000 So I guess mine shot up too.

00:11:54.000 And you guys can help continue shooting it up at S Crowder.

00:11:58.000 Shooting up like Drew Barrymore when she was 10 years old.

00:12:00.000 I'm glad she cleaned up.

00:12:01.000 Right.

00:12:02.000 It was Tylenol.

00:12:03.000 Yes.

00:12:04.000 No, it was Coke.

00:12:06.000 It's in her book.

00:12:07.000 When she was 11.

00:12:07.000 Seriously?

00:12:09.000 Yeah.

00:12:09.000 And then when she gave her acceptance speech at the Oscars, she was going, oh, I just, I couldn't ask for a better family.

00:12:15.000 I'm like, a family that let you do Coke at 11?

00:12:16.000 Yeah, I mean, yeah.

00:12:19.000 My cousins, my girl cousins, they couldn't even wear makeup. 0.97

00:12:22.000 I couldn't even stay up till midnight and watch movies.

00:12:25.000 She thought she could fly at 11.

00:12:27.000 That must have been awesome.

00:12:28.000 She's at Studio 54 doing rails, and I'm like, can I watch an R-rated movie?

00:12:35.000 Yeah, yeah, Drew, just have Mr. Halston drive you home.

00:12:38.000 You're going to have a great talk show when you grow up.

00:12:45.000 Therapies included.

00:12:46.000 Before we get to, because that's the bulk of today, Elon Musk, Twitter, the reaction, Sean King, and the fallout, and there's more to it than just, hey, yay, oh, we're mad.

00:12:55.000 The left is going to need to find some comfort somewhere, obviously, as they melt down.

00:13:00.000 We know that.

00:13:00.000 But these mentally stable children, and this comes, I think, we got from TikTok.

00:13:09.000 I don't know what's going on here.

00:13:12.000 Every thruple is made up of these three audios.

00:13:17.000 Audios?

00:13:17.000 Here comes the boy!

00:13:20.000 Hello, boy!

00:13:21.000 Welcome!

00:13:24.000 That's Sid?

00:13:24.000 Here comes the boy!

00:13:27.000 Here comes the man.

00:13:29.000 Hello adult man.

00:13:30.000 We're using that term a little loosely these days.

00:13:31.000 Welcome taxpayer.

00:13:32.000 Here comes the boy.

00:13:37.000 Hello.

00:13:39.000 Welcome.

00:13:41.000 There he is.

00:13:43.000 There he is.

00:13:45.000 Okay, they said thrupple.

00:13:48.000 Thruple is supposed to be like a three-way couple, right?

00:13:51.000 And they said it includes all of these audios.

00:13:53.000 Is this a term?

00:13:53.000 Are you familiar with it?

00:13:54.000 Honestly, I'm not.

00:13:55.000 No, no, I swear to you, I just learned the word thruple just now.

00:13:58.000 And audios.

00:13:59.000 Yeah.

00:13:59.000 I don't know what that means.

00:14:00.000 Does that mean members of the... And then they're saying here comes the boy and they show a girl who looks like Sid from Toy Story and then an overweight male and then that I mean, as someone who looks like the skinny version of the comic book guy from The Simpsons but in yoga pants, what is going on?

00:14:17.000 What is happening here?

00:14:17.000 This was released as though it was informational, educational from the left.

00:14:21.000 Can someone please comment below?

00:14:23.000 I know, I'm just not... I feel like I'm that old man who's out of touch.

00:14:26.000 Thrupple, audio, and I don't know what's happening.

00:14:29.000 I know what a thrupple is. 0.95

00:14:30.000 I knew that beforehand.

00:14:32.000 I've not heard the term audios before.

00:14:33.000 Have you?

00:14:34.000 No, but I saw that the audios were different.

00:14:36.000 By the way, I took offense that they didn't have any kind of fun song for the tax-paying man.

00:14:41.000 Did you see that?

00:14:43.000 I don't understand why they included a tax-paying man.

00:14:44.000 I don't know, but they were making fun of him.

00:14:47.000 Oh, is that what it was?

00:14:47.000 Maybe a little bit.

00:14:48.000 They were mocking the taxpayer? 1.00

00:14:49.000 They had this, like, eloquent song at the end, you know, and then at the beginning, these were all stupid. 1.00

00:14:54.000 God forbid we have anyone who supports your dead weight in this society. 1.00

00:14:57.000 What an awful, awful world. 0.98

00:15:01.000 Can somebody buy TikTok and blow it up, literally?

00:15:05.000 Well, I think China owns it.

00:15:06.000 It's going to be hard to outbid.

00:15:09.000 If you want China to blow it up, just have a few Uyghur profiles put on there. 1.00

00:15:13.000 That'll be shut down quickly.

00:15:14.000 No kidding.

00:15:15.000 Wasn't it Trump who said that they had to have corporate ownership in the United States?

00:15:19.000 They had to have a company that they partnered with in the U.S.?

00:15:20.000 Was that Trump who did that and tried to stop TikTok from taking over?

00:15:24.000 And they partnered with Jeff Bezos, Washington Post.

00:15:26.000 Well, I think Microsoft actually.

00:15:29.000 Even worse.

00:15:29.000 Oh, Bill Gates?

00:15:30.000 I thought it was Microsoft.

00:15:31.000 I don't know if the deal... somebody let us know.

00:15:33.000 Did they have to partner with somebody?

00:15:34.000 Has Bill Gates... has he had the baby yet, or is he still... he's about to pop?

00:15:38.000 Almost.

00:15:39.000 He's almost there.

00:15:42.000 I'm excited.

00:15:43.000 He's going to leave it $1 million, that's what he said.

00:15:45.000 He's eaten souls for two!

00:15:50.000 Let's set this up here.

00:15:51.000 It's obviously official.

00:15:52.000 Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion.

00:15:55.000 Now, we were yesterday on air and Brian Stelter was worried about this.

00:15:59.000 It happened yesterday around the same time, around 1045, where he was speculating.

00:16:04.000 Remember I said to you guys, look, look, he's only presenting one side when he was speculating yesterday at 1045.

00:16:09.000 Are they going to lose users because of, you know, it being the Wild West?

00:16:14.000 Super straight.

00:16:15.000 And then he had time to reflect.

00:16:20.000 And later, after we were off air, I said, well, is he going to find balance and look at both points of view?

00:16:25.000 Yeah.

00:16:25.000 This is the issue with CNN.

00:16:26.000 Again, it's look to the why.

00:16:28.000 Don't look at what's being said.

00:16:30.000 Look at what's not being said.

00:16:31.000 He had time to reflect upon it.

00:16:33.000 We've seen an increase in users on Twitter.

00:16:35.000 You've seen a lot of people sign up right now.

00:16:36.000 You've seen the stock price go up.

00:16:38.000 It's very clear how the market has spoken.

00:16:40.000 Now watch CNN and super heterosexual Brian Stelter speak in the face of all hard data.

00:16:46.000 Look, who knows?

00:16:47.000 I think that's an example of a broader question for Twitter, which is, if you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party?

00:17:02.000 Or are you going to decide to stay home?

00:17:04.000 And that's a question for Twitter users.

00:17:06.000 Some Twitter users might love the idea that there's going to be absolutely no moderation and no rules at all.

00:17:11.000 Others might not want to be anywhere near that.

00:17:13.000 Am I crazy, Matt?

00:17:14.000 No, no, you're right.

00:17:14.000 And what happens to the advertising?

00:17:16.000 I mean, if there's no moderation or little moderation, do the advertisers stay away?

00:17:20.000 What does that do to the business prospects for Twitter itself?

00:17:24.000 All this talk about parties, probably a stelter in his fields.

00:17:27.000 He's having flashbacks to all those parties.

00:17:28.000 He didn't get invited to it, Towson.

00:17:30.000 That's true.

00:17:30.000 Don't worry, he's got his own.

00:17:32.000 See how he presents that?

00:17:35.000 Some people might love no rules and anarchy and danger.

00:17:38.000 Look, there are already rules.

00:17:39.000 It's called the law.

00:17:41.000 You can't threaten someone with death unless they're conservative, like we've had, then they don't get removed.

00:17:45.000 There are laws that exist.

00:17:47.000 They want additional moderation.

00:17:48.000 Something else that's being said there.

00:17:50.000 What will happen with the advertisers?

00:17:52.000 This is something I don't know how much inside baseball I'm allowed to discuss here, but with YouTube, okay?

00:17:56.000 I'll discuss this with YouTube.

00:17:58.000 I haven't really spent that much time or effort into Twitter because, you know, I knew it was just, back then it was just sort of, you know, running in place.

00:18:05.000 With YouTube, this happened.

00:18:07.000 I want to explain to you when they are saying this about advertisers.

00:18:09.000 They're saying, what will happen with advertisers?

00:18:10.000 What they mean is they are going to try and influence advertisers, not the market.

00:18:15.000 The market has spoken.

00:18:16.000 The users can speak.

00:18:18.000 And then they want to try and change it and manipulate it.

00:18:20.000 This happened with YouTube.

00:18:22.000 Now, for a long time, I've run ads on YouTube.

00:18:24.000 And what I mean by that is literally just taking videos in a very low Dollar amount, but just so that we could continually kind of get access to more analytics.

00:18:32.000 Run ads where we'll just run a video, you know, as a pre-roll video ad before other videos.

00:18:36.000 And they were approved before they were disapproved, and then sometimes they were simultaneously disapproved and approved.

00:18:40.000 But I've run ads, so I've been an advertiser.

00:18:42.000 They cashed all the checks, though.

00:18:43.000 They cashed all the checks.

00:18:43.000 Yes.

00:18:44.000 Either way.

00:18:44.000 So I've run ads on YouTube.

00:18:46.000 I have been an advertiser.

00:18:47.000 I've also been a channel where advertisers have run their ads, okay?

00:18:52.000 Voluntarily.

00:18:52.000 Once upon a time.

00:18:54.000 Been demonetized for a very long time.

00:18:55.000 Please consider supporting loudearthcrowder.com slash Mug Club.

00:18:59.000 We have a whole other 45 minutes today.

00:19:02.000 By the way, also, every day, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:19:05.000 Eastern, notifications don't work, subscription bell doesn't work, so just tune in here or go to Rumble or Mug Club.

00:19:11.000 I hope Elon Musk buys YouTube.

00:19:13.000 I do hope that he does.

00:19:14.000 Can I say that on here?

00:19:15.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:19:15.000 His influence might, uh, it might touch all these other social media platforms.

00:19:20.000 That's what I'm hoping because they'll have to compete.

00:19:22.000 But I've been on both sides with YouTube, okay?

00:19:24.000 So I have a little bit of insight.

00:19:25.000 I've been an advertiser and an advertisee, I guess, for lack of a better term.

00:19:29.000 As someone who runs a channel and we were being monetized, I would say, Hey, uh, is there a way to more effectively target ads?

00:19:36.000 Because for example, on my channel, Seth Meyers is running as an ad or something for GLAAD is running as an ad.

00:19:43.000 Could I have, I don't know, let's say companies like Walther or like Federal Ammunition or conservative companies, companies, or even athletic companies like under armor. Companies that would at least be inoffensive

00:19:54.000 to most right-leaning people.

00:19:56.000 And they said, well, we can't really do that. And I said, well, why? They said,

00:19:58.000 well, because advertisers don't want to advertise on your...

00:20:01.000 Well, first off, we don't allow firearm companies. And we don't... Oh, so

00:20:03.000 you've eliminated half of the pool. We don't allow them to advertise. And then the other

00:20:06.000 advertisers don't want to advertise on your platform. That's not what advertisers want. And I said,

00:20:10.000 hold on a second. You're talking to an advertiser.

00:20:13.000 Because as an advertiser, I would also like to target content that is more relevant, so that my videos don't run on Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert.

00:20:19.000 Like, well, you can't do that either.

00:20:20.000 So they determine who gets to advertise, and then they determine where you get to advertise, and then say, well look, advertisers are afraid to run on this.

00:20:29.000 No, you are.

00:20:30.000 The advertiser-friendly guidelines, YouTube has three rules.

00:20:32.000 And this is the problem with the lack of transparency.

00:20:35.000 They have community guidelines.

00:20:37.000 Which are ever-changing.

00:20:38.000 That's where you get a strike, right?

00:20:39.000 We get suspended if Gerald quotes the CDC. 1.00

00:20:41.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:20:42.000 Sorry. 0.99

00:20:42.000 Then there are advertiser-friendly guidelines, which determines whether you're monetized or not. 0.99

00:20:46.000 Now, this is really just another form of guidelines from YouTube.

00:20:48.000 It's not actually coming from advertisers.

00:20:49.000 You want to tell me that there aren't advertisers who would want to reach the half of America that elect presidents?

00:20:55.000 I'm sorry, usually, not in the freest and most fair election of all time.

00:20:58.000 Never.

00:20:59.000 And then they have borderline.

00:21:02.000 Content guidelines, which no one has really actually explained and no one knows who the advisors are.

00:21:07.000 So that's the issue they run into.

00:21:08.000 When they say advertisers, what kind of advertisers are going to want to run?

00:21:12.000 Well, the ones who aren't intimidated by you.

00:21:15.000 You're trying to, again, censor, culturally, it's cultural Marxism, the advertisers.

00:21:20.000 You're trying to make them afraid.

00:21:21.000 They're not afraid to advertise here.

00:21:25.000 Advertisers are not saying to YouTube, you better not allow Donald Trump, the most popular president, until Joe Biden, who's obviously the most popularist president, the mostest popular.

00:21:34.000 We don't want the most popular president of all time anywhere on that platform.

00:21:37.000 We're going to pull our ads.

00:21:38.000 You think they're saying that?

00:21:40.000 No.

00:21:41.000 You think Smith & Wesson's saying that?

00:21:43.000 Do you think Bass Pro is saying that?

00:21:47.000 No, it comes from YouTube.

00:21:49.000 And it used to come from Twitter.

00:21:51.000 And now, this is a dog whistle.

00:21:52.000 They use the term all the time.

00:21:54.000 When you say taxpayer, what you really mean is white! 0.98

00:21:58.000 That's your dog whistle.

00:21:59.000 Or maybe I mean taxpayer, like the thruple did. 1.00

00:22:02.000 But when you say, what are the advertisers going to do?

00:22:05.000 That's a call out to them to say, huh?

00:22:07.000 Huh?

00:22:08.000 Make sure we still have an advantage with these big multimedia corporate conglomerates.

00:22:14.000 Brian Stelter doesn't stand a snowball's, doesn't stand a Stelter's ball's chance in hell of surviving on equal playing field.

00:22:21.000 You think he's gonna go tit for tat with someone like you on a battle of wits?

00:22:25.000 Of course not!

00:22:26.000 No, he's not.

00:22:27.000 So they go up to the end. 0.98

00:22:27.000 Well, they might go tits. 0.98

00:22:29.000 Elon Musk knows this is coming, too. 0.84

00:22:32.000 He knows that this is happening, and he has got a plan for it.

00:22:35.000 That's why he said he wants to get away from avatars.

00:22:37.000 But let me say something really quickly.

00:22:38.000 You addressed that he said that there was a problem with no rules, right?

00:22:42.000 And you said, no, no, no, we have the rules.

00:22:43.000 Do you know what his second scary word was that he was trying to make you go, oh my gosh, more freedom?

00:22:48.000 Yeah.

00:22:49.000 He said, there's freedom!

00:22:52.000 And that was a scary proposition for him and hopefully for you in his mind.

00:22:56.000 Oh my god, there's freedom.

00:22:58.000 There could be freedom!

00:22:59.000 We can't have that!

00:23:00.000 Wait, hold on a second.

00:23:00.000 I thought you meant freedom of choice.

00:23:02.000 That's just when it comes to killing somebody else.

00:23:05.000 Are you freedom of choice when it comes to what kind of car you can drive?

00:23:07.000 No, because of carbon emissions.

00:23:08.000 Are you freedom of choice when it comes to what kind of taxes?

00:23:10.000 No, because we need to tax the rich more. 0.99

00:23:12.000 Are you freedom of choice when it comes to what kind of content is allowed on platforms?

00:23:14.000 No, because people need to be protected from hate speech.

00:23:15.000 So you're freedom of choice on nothing except abortion.

00:23:19.000 And Funyuns.

00:23:21.000 Who do you buy the car off of, by the way, that you want to drive to protect the environment?

00:23:25.000 The Nazi that bought Twitter. 0.97

00:23:27.000 Tesla.

00:23:28.000 Yes.

00:23:28.000 Listen, I'll help you out.

00:23:29.000 Give me your Tesla right now and I will relieve you of the burden.

00:23:33.000 Right?

00:23:33.000 Just give your Tesla to a Republican.

00:23:35.000 Well, no rules and freedom simply means rules for the left.

00:23:39.000 That's the problem.

00:23:40.000 Rules they get to make and enforce.

00:23:42.000 That's what they want.

00:23:43.000 It means you can't threaten to kill everyone all the time and get away with it.

00:23:46.000 Or doxing.

00:23:46.000 No, no, that's journalistic integrity.

00:23:49.000 Yes, that's why we go to people's houses who are involved in it.

00:23:51.000 It was publicly private information.

00:23:53.000 All right, so look, let me just read some quotes.

00:23:55.000 Musk publicized one of his own previous interviews on Twitter, and I'll give you a montage of just the best meltdowns.

00:24:01.000 So he wrote, Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is a digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.

00:24:09.000 I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust.

00:24:15.000 Defeating spam bots and authenticating all humans.

00:24:17.000 Here's the thing, if I have a problem with what he just said, I'm not going to be stupid enough to just say, to transparency, to increase trust.

00:24:26.000 I'll act like it sounds good, and then try and frame it in a way that maybe favors my point of view.

00:24:31.000 The left, again, they're so used to Not fearing any kind of accountability that they don't even realize they should fake, like transparency to increase trust sounds like a good thing.

00:24:44.000 They can't even do that.

00:24:45.000 So unsurprisingly, I'm sure you've seen some of these, but some of these are gems, the left is not processing. 0.94

00:24:52.000 For a group obsessed with mental health, boy they are mental.

00:24:55.000 They are not processing this in a mentally healthy way.

00:24:58.000 When the richest guy in the world takes over the most important social media platform, that's just not a winning formula to me.

00:25:05.000 It reminds me of old Bond movies, where Dr. Evil and guys like that, or Goldfinger, were gonna take over the media.

00:25:11.000 There is a problem with this idea of free speech, and that is, where is the limit?

00:25:16.000 Free speech has the ability to incite some really horrific and hateful things.

00:25:21.000 Like, for instance, an insurrection.

00:25:23.000 Twitter will not be the only cesspool.

00:25:26.000 It will spill over.

00:25:27.000 And Facebook will get worse.

00:25:28.000 You'll see Trump and others having their Facebook accounts restored.

00:25:32.000 You'll see major social media networks unwind. 0.58

00:25:35.000 People are going to crap on your grandma's recipes.

00:25:38.000 To start grappling with the problems of disinformation and threats.

00:25:42.000 Okay.

00:25:43.000 By the way, I love how he says, like, Dr. Evil, as opposed to Jeff Bezos, who purchased the Washington Post and literally looks like a Bond villain.

00:25:51.000 Hold on.

00:25:52.000 Sorry, time out.

00:25:53.000 And built a balls rocket like Dr. Evil.

00:25:56.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:25:57.000 Dr. Evil comes in and says, more freedom?

00:26:00.000 That's what Dr. Evil has done.

00:26:00.000 Yeah.

00:26:02.000 That's what every Bond villain has done.

00:26:03.000 I'm going to hold the world hostage unless you let everyone speak freely.

00:26:09.000 I want one million dollars.

00:26:11.000 Are you serious?

00:26:11.000 What they're saying they're afraid of was already in place.

00:26:14.000 It was your guys running every social media, every news outlet out there, save for maybe one, and independent content creators on YouTube.

00:26:22.000 You guys were the Bond villain.

00:26:22.000 That was it.

00:26:24.000 Yeah.

00:26:24.000 No, that's exactly right.

00:26:25.000 We're defeating you!

00:26:26.000 No, keep in mind, too, we're going to get to Jen Psaki now, and now all of a sudden, they want to talk about Section 230.

00:26:26.000 Yes.

00:26:31.000 They want to talk about the changes.

00:26:34.000 I just want you to remember that we've been here since, talking about 230, since 2014, 2015.

00:26:39.000 and I've been here on YouTube since 2006, louder with crowds than a summoned since 2009.

00:26:43.000 So just go back. I just point you to the record. Now let's go to the NAACP, usually a bastion of freedom.

00:26:49.000 They put out a statement that said, Mr. Musk, free speech is wonderful. Hate speech is unacceptable.

00:26:55.000 Oh boy.

00:26:56.000 Disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech have no place on Twitter.

00:27:00.000 Let me just break this down for you for a couple of tweets.

00:27:02.000 They belong on CNN.

00:27:03.000 Yes. So how are they delineating?

00:27:07.000 Free speech is wonderful, hate speech is unacceptable.

00:27:09.000 By the way, one of the first change of minds I ever did when I didn't have a permit in Vermont was a sandwich board that hate speech is not real.

00:27:14.000 No, it's not.

00:27:15.000 Changed my mind.

00:27:16.000 And no one could make the case.

00:27:18.000 Hate speech isn't a thing in the United States.

00:27:21.000 Now if you look at countries where hate speech has been incorporated, and this is why when people say, why don't you just focus on policies, this is one of the most important issues.

00:27:29.000 I will tell you this, the freedom of Americans to access information And I will say also, for me, the idea that gender doesn't exist, that male and female are fundamentally interchangeable, are the two most important issues.

00:27:41.000 If those go away, guess what?

00:27:42.000 Everything else goes.

00:27:43.000 You destroy the family unit, and you destroy the American public's ability to simply access information.

00:27:51.000 Imagine if back in the day there was someone in front of the public library like, huh?

00:27:54.000 Huh?

00:27:54.000 You?

00:27:54.000 No!

00:27:55.000 No!

00:27:55.000 That little bent back paper clip saying, you can't use word processor or whatever the hell it was.

00:28:00.000 So free speech is wonderful.

00:28:02.000 Hate speech is unacceptable.

00:28:04.000 Define hate speech NAACP.

00:28:06.000 Disinformation.

00:28:07.000 Misinformation.

00:28:08.000 What is that?

00:28:10.000 Well, we now, we have examples.

00:28:11.000 We do.

00:28:12.000 You quoting the CDC.

00:28:14.000 That is, I guess it would be misinformation.

00:28:15.000 On flu deaths.

00:28:16.000 That was misinformation.

00:28:17.000 Or dis, I have no idea.

00:28:19.000 Us reporting on actual voter addresses and going there.

00:28:23.000 Misinformation.

00:28:24.000 And voter rolls being changed, which was confirmed to us.

00:28:28.000 By a local registrar, when we called them.

00:28:30.000 Removed.

00:28:31.000 As disinformation.

00:28:32.000 Misinformation.

00:28:34.000 I saw it with my own eyes.

00:28:36.000 An empty lot.

00:28:36.000 No, no, no, Dave.

00:28:37.000 No, you think you saw it.

00:28:38.000 You think you saw it.

00:28:39.000 You missaw.

00:28:40.000 In fairness, it was only 100% of the houses I visited.

00:28:45.000 I'm surprised in Detroit they actually had houses where you went.

00:28:47.000 Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I mean, houses.

00:28:49.000 We thought something was up.

00:28:51.000 Intersections, fields, fences.

00:28:53.000 So disinformation, misinformation, hate speech have no place on Twitter.

00:28:56.000 So they've now declared, right, just full stop, there's no place on Twitter for something that hasn't been defined, and by the way is an ever-moving target.

00:29:04.000 This is what they don't want to go away.

00:29:07.000 I want to be clear about what this is.

00:29:09.000 It's not just, oh yeah, free speech, pet pay meme.

00:29:11.000 No, look at what the left is saying, look at why they're upset, and look at how they're trying to frame it.

00:29:19.000 That's where you will glean the most information.

00:29:20.000 This is what the NAACP also said, do not allow 45 to return to the platform.

00:29:25.000 Well now we have a partial definition.

00:29:28.000 Oh, oh, the former president, the president of the United States, President Donald Trump, he is a hate speaker. 0.94

00:29:37.000 The only president to go into office pro-gay marriage, ever, in the history of the United States. 0.99

00:29:41.000 Did more for black Americans than the black Americans before him.

00:29:44.000 He let Arsenio Hall win the Celebrity Apprentice, for God's sake.

00:29:47.000 That's true.

00:29:47.000 And he even did the woo woo woo.

00:29:50.000 That was a reality series equivalent of My Black Friend.

00:29:55.000 Yes it was.

00:29:56.000 Don't you see I let Arsenio win?

00:29:58.000 And he's talentless. 1.00

00:29:59.000 He sucks. 1.00

00:30:01.000 Look how much I must love black people. 1.00

00:30:05.000 Do not allow 45 to return to the platform. 1.00

00:30:09.000 Do not allow Twitter to become a petri dish for hate speech or falsehoods that subvert our democracy.

00:30:15.000 Oh, got it, got it, that subvert our democracy.

00:30:17.000 Do you mean like billions of dollars in damages, Black Lives Matter, who then used the money and ran off to buy multi-million dollar estates and non-profits that closed up shop and didn't really exist?

00:30:27.000 You guys were all led astray by the grifters with Black Lives Matter, just to be clear. 1.00

00:30:31.000 It was a bunch of frauds and then a bunch of white women saying, yeah, us too! 1.00

00:30:36.000 Subvert our democracy.

00:30:38.000 Oh, you mean a couple hundred thousand people protesting at the Capitol with, let's say, a couple hundred people who only one was shot and it wasn't a cop, as opposed to the dozens of, well, the hundreds of casualties over the course of the summer of... Hey, how about this?

00:30:52.000 How about this?

00:30:54.000 Misinformation.

00:30:55.000 Is the mayor held accountable in Seattle or Portland?

00:31:00.000 When they say, it's peaceful, it's the summer of love.

00:31:03.000 That's verifiably false.

00:31:05.000 Right?

00:31:05.000 When you're talking about Chaz, three people shot in a span of weeks.

00:31:10.000 Do you remove that person?

00:31:11.000 Oh, you remove President Donald Trump for saying, hey, it's time to make your voices heard.

00:31:17.000 Go and protest peacefully at the Capitol.

00:31:19.000 What about the people who verifiably, hey, do you remove the guy on CNN, the reporter with gay face in front of the car ablaze saying, Mostly, mostly flameless. 0.84

00:31:30.000 Mostly peaceful.

00:31:31.000 We can see the misinformation with our own eyes.

00:31:34.000 The problem is, for the left, they've just been able to say, it doesn't matter what you see, it doesn't matter exactly what you're experiencing, it doesn't matter what the data says.

00:31:41.000 We're going to lie to you, and we're going to remove the people who call us on our lies.

00:31:45.000 That's what they're terrified of losing!

00:31:47.000 How about the guys who said white supremacists guns people down in Kenosha?

00:31:51.000 This isn't new by the way. Do you remember when the media, you may not remember this Dave because

00:31:55.000 you weren't, I mean you weren't really conservative back then but the fairness, when people talk about

00:32:00.000 the fairness doctrine I believe is what it was called.

00:32:03.000 Liberals had ABC, they had all of television, right? They had FM radio, they had pretty much

00:32:08.000 everything at that point.

00:32:09.000 And then you have this guy named Rush Limbaugh who used an outdated, what was thought to be an archaic method, AM radio.

00:32:16.000 And then, because it was an alternative, sort of like you saw with social media, you're seeing it happen all over again, they said, you know what, we're going to take over this medium and it became the most popular show on earth.

00:32:26.000 The left said, we need to make sure that there is equal time on AM radio.

00:32:30.000 Remember there was that Air America or Radio America with Janine Garofalo and Al Franken?

00:32:35.000 And it didn't work and it failed.

00:32:37.000 So because they failed when they were on equal footing, on a medium that they wanted nothing to do with.

00:32:42.000 They weren't happy having all of network.

00:32:43.000 They weren't happy having all of cable.

00:32:45.000 They weren't happy having all of FM.

00:32:47.000 They said, we need to guarantee equal time on AM radio because no one wants to listen to us.

00:32:52.000 This is a constant pattern in the open market of ideas. 0.99

00:32:56.000 And I know that both sides say, I'm right, they suck. 0.69

00:32:59.000 But if you look at it historically, in the open market of ideas, the left always loses ground. 0.97

00:33:06.000 Then you see it with the internet.

00:33:08.000 You see it with Facebook.

00:33:09.000 You see it with YouTube.

00:33:10.000 You see it with Twitter.

00:33:10.000 There were no conservatives on YouTube when I was there in 2006, 2009.

00:33:15.000 And then when there started to be a momentum shift, they changed the algorithms.

00:33:20.000 And it was the same thing with Twitter.

00:33:21.000 And it was the same thing with Facebook.

00:33:23.000 Just like AM radio.

00:33:25.000 This has always happened.

00:33:27.000 All right.

00:33:28.000 Protecting our democracy... I'm reading more from the NAACP. 0.60

00:33:31.000 ...is of the utmost importance, especially as the midterm elections approach, Mr. Musk.

00:33:35.000 Lives are at risk, and so is American democracy. 1.00

00:33:38.000 I'm sorry, look, NAACP, fuck you. 1.00

00:33:41.000 With a PH, of course. 1.00

00:33:43.000 Different word.

00:33:44.000 That's the French word for seal.

00:33:46.000 P-H-O-Q-U-E. 1.00

00:33:47.000 Fuck! 1.00

00:33:48.000 That's true. 1.00

00:33:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:33:49.000 He mentioned the midterm elections.

00:33:50.000 I would like to just kind of summarize We gon' lose!

00:33:53.000 Yes! 0.98

00:33:54.000 Everybody gon' die! 1.00

00:33:56.000 Oh shit! 1.00

00:33:57.000 Oh shit! 1.00

00:33:58.000 That was a quicker way that he could have just said it. 1.00

00:34:01.000 Speaking of elections, Twitter employees donate 98.7% for one side.

00:34:07.000 Would you guess which one?

00:34:08.000 Oh no.

00:34:10.000 I'm gonna guess Ralph Nader?

00:34:11.000 Yeah.

00:34:13.000 Yeah, the Green Party, no doubt.

00:34:14.000 Yes, the Green Party.

00:34:15.000 Yeah, Jill Stein. 0.63

00:34:17.000 Who was that witch who ran for... anyway. 1.00

00:34:20.000 So, they aren't the only ones who are afraid that Musk...

00:34:23.000 We'll not be silencing hate.

00:34:26.000 Sean King, before deactivating his account, and he deactivated it and then he came back on, just to be clear.

00:34:31.000 You're just admitting though, by all of this, in a day, that you've done nothing but take over social media, and now you're so upset that there's a small possibility it might not go your way.

00:34:42.000 Right, I know.

00:34:43.000 It's insane!

00:34:45.000 Just your reaction is like, but the thing we made everybody guilty about, they're taking!

00:34:51.000 We control the information!

00:34:52.000 If you take this away we won't control the information!

00:34:54.000 How are we going to lie to everybody if you lie?

00:34:57.000 The problem is they were so used to being able to do it and no one being able to see it that they don't even realize now this is happening and people can see it.

00:35:05.000 They're like, oh wait we're not supposed to say that part out loud?

00:35:08.000 Someone at the NAACP should have proofread it and been like, yeah I don't know if you should tip your hand saying 45 shouldn't be allowed back and Elon Musk you need to affect the midterms.

00:35:17.000 I think we should maybe couch it in like, I don't know, just say hate speech, it's broad enough.

00:35:25.000 It was in front of our eyes.

00:35:27.000 They got that good at it where it's like, it's a peaceful protest and it's like, there's four car lots on fire.

00:35:32.000 And you're like, yeah, but besides that... They were already on fire before we got here.

00:35:36.000 Yeah, come on. 0.77

00:35:37.000 Who knows who started that?

00:35:38.000 Right.

00:35:41.000 Quit your whining, but I'm literally being rigged. 0.98

00:35:44.000 Come on, don't be a baby. 0.98

00:35:45.000 It's New York.

00:35:46.000 Come on, defund the police, whatever.

00:35:48.000 The police are bad.

00:35:50.000 Which, by the way, everyone has had to do an about face on them.

00:35:52.000 Before I get to shunking, that's an interesting point, to defund the police.

00:35:55.000 You can't find common ground and say, I think police need better training.

00:35:58.000 I think that police need to be paid for their time training because they're overworked.

00:36:03.000 Part of their work needs to be time training.

00:36:04.000 We've talked about submission methods so that they can de-escalate.

00:36:07.000 We've talked about actually being physically fit so that they don't have to reach for their gun.

00:36:11.000 But all of these solutions on which we would Perhaps Find Common Ground require more funding, not less.

00:36:17.000 What do you think is going to happen when you defund the police?

00:36:19.000 They're stressed, they're overworked, they're working longer hours, they don't have time to train, they're going in, they've got a vein popping out of their forehead like stressed Eric?

00:36:27.000 Well, you end up with all the cities that have defunded the police.

00:36:30.000 Good luck!

00:36:31.000 So, speaking of defunding the police, Sean King, before deactivating his Twitter account, he tweeted, At its root, Elon Musk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left versus right.

00:36:40.000 That's how you know they're about to lie to you.

00:36:41.000 Not left versus right.

00:36:42.000 It's not conservative versus liberal.

00:36:43.000 Yeah, it is.

00:36:44.000 It's not about race, but it's all about race. 0.78

00:36:48.000 That was foreshadowing.

00:36:49.000 It's about white power. 0.86

00:36:53.000 He wrote, it's about white power.

00:36:56.000 me power. White powder. What? The man... Horrible film. The man was raised in apartheid by a 1.00

00:37:02.000 white nationalist. He's upset that Twitter won't allow white nationalists to target and

00:37:06.000 harass people. That's his definition of free speech. By the way, for reference, here's

00:37:10.000 Sean King as a child. Yeah, the black activist. Wow.

00:37:16.000 He's an eggshell.

00:37:17.000 He looks like halfway between Urkel and Stefan.

00:37:20.000 Yes.

00:37:21.000 But he's also dipped in Kid from Kid and Play.

00:37:23.000 Yes.

00:37:25.000 That's a white kid.

00:37:26.000 There are more pictures, by the way.

00:37:27.000 He's a white kid.

00:37:29.000 Listen, if you were going by, like, let's say you were, well, you can also go by his parents who are white.

00:37:34.000 Well, if you were painting your kitchen black, let's say, and you showed up and it was painted this.

00:37:39.000 Right.

00:37:39.000 Would you pay the contractor?

00:37:41.000 Yeah, this is a problem.

00:37:42.000 That's eggshell, friend.

00:37:43.000 Yeah, we cannot do this eggshell.

00:37:45.000 I distinctly wanted black because I'm a Wiccan and this is going to throw... Why would anyone paint their kitchen black?

00:37:50.000 I don't know.

00:37:51.000 Why would anybody buy that he is? 0.99

00:37:57.000 Now this morning, looks like he's returned to Twitter, and he's already back to talking crap. 0.98

00:38:01.000 He said, uh, when someone reported on the fact that his Twitter account had been removed, he said, You wish, motherfu- I didn't delete my account, you literally made that up! 0.98

00:38:11.000 I was getting death threats and hack attempts from your buddies who stormed the Capitol and had to make it more secure! 0.99

00:38:17.000 I'm right here, and you are a white supremacist! 0.95

00:38:20.000 But here's the thing, he did deactivate his account and notified everyone, though. 0.98

00:38:24.000 Yes, he did.

00:38:25.000 So, uh, Mr. King actually, uh, Dr. King Jr.

00:38:28.000 Jr.

00:38:29.000 Wanted to, uh, clarify his comments, and so we're really excited to have him on the show.

00:38:32.000 He, uh, reached out to us to see if he could explain it himself.

00:38:34.000 And actually, you've had a lot of, you, you've wanted to, I've spoken with him before.

00:38:38.000 You wanted to interview Mr. King.

00:38:38.000 Yes.

00:38:40.000 Yourself.

00:38:40.000 I did.

00:38:41.000 And I actually have to go to the control room for some work.

00:38:43.000 So, uh, on the line now, do we have him?

00:38:46.000 We have the man himself, Dr. Sean King Jr.

00:38:50.000 All right, this is going to be funny.

00:38:57.000 I can't believe he's going to be on our show.

00:38:58.000 Did we lose him, or is he still there?

00:39:01.000 He's there?

00:39:02.000 We're getting the connection now.

00:39:03.000 Okay, you're bringing it up.

00:39:04.000 Awesome.

00:39:05.000 Awesome.

00:39:07.000 I hope he's not offended, sir.

00:39:09.000 Okay, alright, let's see here.

00:39:11.000 Alright, we got Dave.

00:39:12.000 Okay, you there?

00:39:14.000 I really, really... Is he there?

00:39:16.000 Yes, I am here.

00:39:18.000 As-salamu alaykum.

00:39:21.000 Good morning.

00:39:22.000 Yeah, thank you for calling in, Mr. King.

00:39:24.000 I know you're a busy man.

00:39:25.000 Oh, no, I am not.

00:39:27.000 Okay.

00:39:28.000 I'm not very busy at all.

00:39:29.000 I was sitting here waiting.

00:39:32.000 Oh, well, either way, thank you. 0.72

00:39:35.000 So last night you tweeted that Elon Musk was a fake African, a white supremacist, and then you deleted your account. 0.74

00:39:42.000 I deleted my account.

00:39:43.000 That is correct.

00:39:44.000 PSYCH!

00:39:46.000 PSYCH!

00:39:47.000 I'm back!

00:39:49.000 And I encourage all my brothers and sisters to as well fake leave like I did.

00:39:55.000 And then fake leave.

00:39:57.000 Come back.

00:39:58.000 Then fake leave again. 1.00

00:39:59.000 Triple D. Bombay up in this bitch. 1.00

00:40:02.000 Gordon Bombay. 1.00

00:40:03.000 Okay, so you didn't just, uh... I don't know the word.

00:40:06.000 Re... Anyway.

00:40:07.000 So, but some people have said that you're a fake African.

00:40:10.000 I mean, I just want to put that out there.

00:40:12.000 At least that you're pretending to be African-American. 1.00

00:40:15.000 Is that true?

00:40:16.000 Please!

00:40:18.000 I do black things.

00:40:19.000 Okay, that sounds a little... No, that's not.

00:40:21.000 A little racist, but that's not an answer at all. 0.72

00:40:23.000 Are you black? 0.97

00:40:23.000 I got, like, Dave! 0.97

00:40:24.000 I got, like, five kids!

00:40:26.000 What?

00:40:27.000 Okay, you're dodging the question.

00:40:28.000 No, I got scars on my face.

00:40:31.000 From the struggle of my non-acre estate.

00:40:34.000 What struggle?

00:40:36.000 Uh, well, I struggled to tie a proper Windsor knot while sailing.

00:40:41.000 I also found out that you don't use a Windsor knot when sailing!

00:40:44.000 Gotta do a slip knot. 0.99

00:40:45.000 So damn, I nearly got knocked off my schooner, Holmes. 1.00

00:40:49.000 Gangsta shit! 1.00

00:40:50.000 Okay, well... Plus, you've been on a boat! 1.00

00:40:52.000 You've been on a boat lately?

00:40:53.000 There's spiders all... There's a lot of spiders!

00:40:56.000 That's true, I guess.

00:40:56.000 Someone told me to get a mint plant and repel them.

00:40:59.000 I found a damn spider in the mint plant! 1.00

00:41:01.000 Don't do shiiit! 1.00

00:41:02.000 You have a mint plant. 0.92

00:41:03.000 That's... That is very... Interesting.

00:41:05.000 I wouldn't have called that.

00:41:06.000 No, I wouldn't have... That's very... Okay.

00:41:09.000 Well, anyway... Okay, so let's just... Let's just put it... Is there any black DNA in you at all? 0.72

00:41:16.000 I have seen...

00:41:18.000 And I cannot stress this enough, Dave.

00:41:20.000 Okay.

00:41:20.000 I have seen Madea's Christmas 11 times.

00:41:24.000 So no?

00:41:26.000 I sleep in a wave cap!

00:41:28.000 Last night I messed around and got me a triple-double!

00:41:31.000 It's hot out here for a pimp!

00:41:32.000 We was Kangs!

00:41:34.000 I'm frequently late!

00:41:36.000 Gimme curls! 1.00

00:41:37.000 Okay, that was just a mix of pop culture and, yeah, song.

00:41:40.000 Okay, so, you know what?

00:41:42.000 I knew you weren't black. 0.76

00:41:43.000 Oh, come on, Dave. 0.89

00:41:44.000 Look, you invited me on the show.

00:41:46.000 I just, I'm here to promote my, I'm here to plug my new book, man.

00:41:50.000 Okay.

00:41:51.000 That sounds, say that again?

00:41:53.000 Say that again?

00:41:54.000 I'm, look, you know, it's just not right to sandbag me like this.

00:41:58.000 I came here to promote my book and, you know, you guys are all just bagging on me.

00:42:02.000 Your voice, okay, you have a book?

00:42:07.000 Well, I haven't written it yet.

00:42:12.000 Thanks for calling.

00:42:12.000 You know that was very surprising, especially at the the end.

00:42:22.000 He just he kind of broke, you know, and finally let him himself come out.

00:42:27.000 You know, I always wanted to meet him, but I don't know. 0.88

00:42:29.000 That was ridiculous.

00:42:30.000 I think How did that go, guys? 0.87

00:42:33.000 I just, uh... Yeah.

00:42:34.000 No.

00:42:35.000 You're gonna love it.

00:42:36.000 I don't think... I feel like he might be some sort of imposter.

00:42:40.000 Really?

00:42:41.000 Yes.

00:42:41.000 Well, that's a syndrome.

00:42:42.000 Imposter syndrome.

00:42:43.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:42:44.000 He did say Jerry Curl, so I guess?

00:42:48.000 Well, he said, messed around and got a triple-double, and so I'm like, oh, he does hip-hop.

00:42:51.000 He's definitely heard an Ice Cube song, so we can... Did Mama make the breakfast with no pork?

00:42:59.000 Yeah, with no hog, and I believe there was no smog.

00:43:02.000 Right.

00:43:02.000 Ah, well, he is from Los Angeles.

00:43:05.000 They do the smog check.

00:43:05.000 Yeah, I'm not sure if he had to use his AK or not.

00:43:07.000 There may have been a peaceful protest.

00:43:09.000 Yeah, I have no idea.

00:43:12.000 Everybody calls Sean King a pimp. 0.89

00:43:15.000 He did say he grabbed a nine on his herb of shag. 0.89

00:43:17.000 I don't know.

00:43:17.000 I have no idea.

00:43:18.000 All right.

00:43:19.000 Yeah, he did say Gordon Bombay, so that... Well, it's knuckle puck time.

00:43:25.000 Yeah, that's a little scary, because I don't know... I mean, I guess... Have you not seen impoverished black American youth in South Central LA playing rollerblade hockey on the basketball courts?

00:43:35.000 Yeah, that's why it seems, you know, suspect.

00:43:38.000 Also, sailing.

00:43:40.000 He's a sailor.

00:43:40.000 Well, hey.

00:43:42.000 I don't have anything for that one.

00:43:44.000 He was sailing?

00:43:45.000 Well, it could be therapy.

00:43:49.000 It's contact therapy.

00:43:51.000 It's getting over your fear.

00:43:52.000 Yeah, he wasn't good at sailing.

00:43:54.000 No, he didn't say he was good at sailing.

00:43:55.000 Yeah, he said that he had trouble tying certain knots and got hit with a sail.

00:43:59.000 He's not Blackbeard.

00:44:00.000 He's obviously not Blackbeard.

00:44:01.000 Well, he's also afraid of spiders, so you guys can commiserate on that.

00:44:04.000 Yes, yes, of course.

00:44:06.000 Also, he's terrified of magic.

00:44:09.000 Yeah, Ari is a trick. 1.00

00:44:11.000 Oh you a wizard is what?

00:44:16.000 so Also, other reactions, we have Ari Melber from MSNBC, and this is really telling where he doesn't realize what he's saying, but he's saying it.

00:44:25.000 Again, watch what the left... This is why we always use leftist sources, so if you check the references.

00:44:30.000 And by the way, smash the like button if you guys use the references.

00:44:33.000 Megyn Kelly uses the references, I didn't interview her.

00:44:35.000 If you use them, if you appreciate that we provide them, otherwise we're just going to stop providing them.

00:44:39.000 But we always use neutral or liberal sources because I'm far more interested in hearing what the opposing point of view.

00:44:44.000 To my own, I'm right-leaning.

00:44:46.000 I'm very open about that.

00:44:47.000 I'm very open about my bias.

00:44:48.000 I'm far more interested in what they're saying because it's more telling.

00:44:51.000 So Ari Melber on MSNBC, here he lists the problem with social media censorship.

00:44:56.000 The irony train's not stopping here.

00:44:58.000 You own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you.

00:45:01.000 You don't have to explain yourself.

00:45:03.000 You don't even have to be transparent.

00:45:04.000 You could secretly ban one party's candidate or all of its candidates.

00:45:09.000 Wow.

00:45:09.000 All of its nominees.

00:45:10.000 Or you could just secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else and the rest of us might not even find out about it until after the election.

00:45:19.000 It's almost like he said this wasn't possible before.

00:45:21.000 Elon Musk says this is all to help people because he is just a free speech Okay, let me be clear here just for a second.

00:45:31.000 He's saying a member of one party.

00:45:33.000 Just to be clear, the guy he's talking about, as though it's Donald Trump who now owns Twitter, is the guy who spearheaded the modern electric car, has done more for the green movement than any other human being alive right now, and by the way, the man who creates the car That your party told people to buy!

00:45:52.000 With skyrocketing gas prices.

00:45:54.000 So that's who he's talking about as the evil villain who's going to throttle the party.

00:45:57.000 Meanwhile at the Twitter board, and if you look at people, not only at Twitter, not only at ABC, at NBC, CBS, MSNBC, you look at Netflix, you have actual members of the Clinton administration, the Obama cabinet!

00:46:08.000 These people sit on the boards!

00:46:09.000 Elon Musk is an actual African American guy who invented the most successful electric car of all time!

00:46:17.000 He was like, Harry, where'd you get your talking points?

00:46:20.000 Well, it's what Twitter said they were already doing.

00:46:22.000 I got it from June of 2020.

00:46:26.000 It was in a file called The Plan.

00:46:31.000 The DNC Plan. 0.99

00:46:33.000 Oh, crap. 0.96

00:46:33.000 Sorry. 0.96

00:46:34.000 No, no, no.

00:46:34.000 The RNC Plan now.

00:46:36.000 We had to change some letters.

00:46:37.000 Oh yeah, we just changed one letter.

00:46:38.000 He's using the dialer like he's, you know, getting Brian Stelter started.

00:46:42.000 Yeah, he added two lines to the D. It's an R now.

00:46:46.000 That is so terrible.

00:46:47.000 I feel really bad for that guy, too.

00:46:49.000 He's out there like, guys, this is a problem!

00:46:51.000 We're like, yes!

00:46:52.000 Thank you!

00:46:53.000 Finally!

00:46:54.000 He just admitted it!

00:46:56.000 That's a bad thing!

00:46:56.000 If somebody could do that, who would have thought?

00:46:58.000 He's like, this couldn't have happened before.

00:47:01.000 Several months later, this is exactly what happened.

00:47:03.000 Well, just to give you another example, how many times have you heard us talk about Section 230?

00:47:08.000 My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, we've discussed this many times.

00:47:11.000 We've been embroiled in many illegal battles.

00:47:14.000 Talk about it with Ted Cruz.

00:47:14.000 We talked about it with Ted Cruz.

00:47:15.000 We talked about it with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:47:16.000 It was incredibly important.

00:47:17.000 Yes.

00:47:18.000 And to Rand Paul, well here's Jen Psaki when asked about the Twitter situation, giving

00:47:23.000 a non-answer, but again, it's very telling.

00:47:26.000 The president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms,

00:47:31.000 the power they have over our everyday lives, has long argued that tech platforms must be

00:47:35.000 held accountable for the harms they cause.

00:47:38.000 He's been a strong supporter of fundamental reforms to achieve that goal, including reforms to Section 230, enacting antitrust reforms, requiring more transparency.

00:47:47.000 And he's encouraged that there's bipartisan interest in Congress.

00:47:53.000 In terms of what hypothetical policies might happen, I'm just not going to speak to that at this point.

00:47:58.000 Okay, so let me just inform you a little bit, if you're not necessarily aware, Section 230 is what provides protections to a lot of these social media companies, because it treats them similar to a utility, right, where it's a digital sort of town square.

00:48:08.000 So the idea is they're not held liable for anything that is said on their platform, as opposed to, say, the New York Times or Washington Post, who would be held liable if there's Any kind of defamation slander that's written there because they're a publisher.

00:48:19.000 Okay.

00:48:20.000 So, 230 gives them those protections.

00:48:22.000 Now, we have talked about this for a long time and my solution has always been these social media platforms get a choice.

00:48:31.000 Are you a platform or are you a publisher?

00:48:34.000 If you are a platform, it's very simple, because a lot of people say, well, if you declare them all to be platforms and you hold them liable, then you'll get rid of message boards.

00:48:41.000 No, no, no, no.

00:48:43.000 If Facebook, which enjoys safe harbor status, or Twitter, or YouTube, they enjoy the status

00:48:49.000 equivalent to a public utility, okay, they then, if they decide to enjoy that status,

00:48:55.000 cannot censor or remove anyone based on point of view or favor any point of view outside

00:49:01.000 The laws are very clear.

00:49:02.000 Things like death threats.

00:49:04.000 Things like active calls to physical violence.

00:49:07.000 For example, things that might actually be labeled slander or defamation.

00:49:11.000 Those people will be held liable, but not the actual platform itself.

00:49:14.000 Now, if they decide... So they have a choice with 230.

00:49:16.000 This is our solution.

00:49:18.000 Or, they can decide that they are a publisher.

00:49:20.000 For example, if YouTube says this content is allowed, but this content is not.

00:49:24.000 Or even if they say this content is allowed to be deemed monetizable, this content is not.

00:49:28.000 Or if Twitter says this information is allowed, but this information is not.

00:49:32.000 You are now a publisher like the New York Times or Washington Post.

00:49:34.000 You just have to pick, and you get to pick. 0.99

00:49:37.000 Now when she says reform to 230, and this is my problem when people say common ground, it's usually bullshit. 0.85

00:49:44.000 And this comes as someone who's done changed my mind and who has had more civil discussions with leftists than arguably any other host that I know of here on conservative platforms. 0.66

00:49:55.000 Because I try and match intensity and I try and give people the respect that I would, you know, hope I'd receive on their program. 0.93

00:50:01.000 I still tell you that most common ground is bullshit because that's how we believe. 0.97

00:50:05.000 We need to do something about this murder, right? 0.99

00:50:07.000 Yeah, we think it should be illegal.

00:50:08.000 support. They want more regulation and to crack down on companies for not removing points of view

00:50:13.000 enough. There is no common ground just because you're looking at a law. It's like saying we

00:50:17.000 need to find common ground on this murder law. Yeah. Really?

00:50:21.000 Okay, yeah. Well, we, good. So, look, we all agree we need to do something about this

00:50:24.000 murder, right? Yeah, we think it should be illegal. See, we think it should be legal though. You know

00:50:30.000 what it did?

00:50:30.000 It prevented Twitter from being sued when Donald Trump's tax records were illegally published.

00:50:36.000 Right.

00:50:37.000 Right?

00:50:37.000 But then, by the way, the Hunter Biden story was a violation of privacy.

00:50:40.000 Well, yes, yes, yes, because that was obviously stolen information.

00:50:44.000 I mean, forgotten and left somewhere thrice information.

00:50:48.000 Terrific crimes.

00:50:49.000 Maybe for laptops.

00:50:50.000 Is that not a clear enough example?

00:50:52.000 Yeah.

00:50:53.000 Donald Trump, illegally stolen, leaked, Hunter Biden, story that was legitimately obtained, would have affected the outcome of the election every single swing state.

00:51:03.000 Twitter decided yes and no.

00:51:06.000 When you're talking about democracies and midterms, what they're saying is we want to be able to continue to do that!

00:51:11.000 Hey, has the left ever apologized?

00:51:13.000 No.

00:51:14.000 Has the New York Times, the Washington Post, has CNN, has MSNBC, they then cover The Hunter Biden story and say, well, it seems like this is legitimate without saying, hey, we were wrong in supporting the removal of a story that would have directly affected the outcome of the election.

00:51:27.000 Hey, that was they never have to apologize.

00:51:30.000 That changed, you know, without even getting into mail-in voter errors, fraud, whatever you want to call it.

00:51:35.000 We've covered that at length without even getting into that.

00:51:38.000 Just that.

00:51:39.000 Just the Hunter Biden story.

00:51:41.000 Let alone pages like ours being throttled 90%.

00:51:44.000 I can only imagine with other conservatives.

00:51:45.000 Just that is enough to tilt the vote and change the history of the United States.

00:51:53.000 And all we want now is to say, no more of that!

00:51:56.000 No more of that! 0.95

00:51:56.000 And they're acting like it's the Third Reich. 0.95

00:51:59.000 Okay.

00:52:00.000 Well to them it is.

00:52:01.000 Yes it is.

00:52:01.000 It takes away all that power.

00:52:02.000 Yep.

00:52:03.000 All that white power. 0.95

00:52:05.000 Yes, that's what I meant.

00:52:06.000 I'm sorry.

00:52:08.000 You and your Ed Furlong jacket.

00:52:10.000 Listen, we have an African American that owns a big tech company, okay?

00:52:13.000 We are making progress.

00:52:14.000 Charlize Theron?

00:52:15.000 No.

00:52:16.000 Twitter employees have reacted, which is fantastic.

00:52:20.000 Talman Smith's source at Twitter provided some reactions of the employees, so here are some quotes.

00:52:26.000 I feel like I'm going to throw up. 0.66

00:52:28.000 I hate him, Musk.

00:52:29.000 Oh, that's wrong.

00:52:30.000 You're not supposed to hate.

00:52:31.000 You're supposed to be gentle creatures, Twitter workers.

00:52:34.000 I hate him, Musk.

00:52:35.000 Why does he even want this? 0.73

00:52:36.000 Hmm, I can guess. 0.93

00:52:38.000 I feel like he's this petulant little boy and that he's doing this to troll. 0.90

00:52:41.000 We're just going to let everyone run amok? 0.95

00:52:44.000 And then Robert Reich... What, so fire you?

00:52:47.000 Just for fun?

00:52:48.000 I just walk in and be like, hey, guess who's not eating?

00:52:51.000 No, no, no, I have a better idea, Dave, and so does Governor Greg Abbott of the great state of Texas.

00:52:56.000 He's like, hey, Elon, you brought every other company here, why don't you bring Twitter here?

00:52:59.000 I would love for them to do that.

00:53:00.000 And he's in a wheelchair!

00:53:02.000 He is in a wheelchair, that guy.

00:53:03.000 So, Robert Reich... People don't even listen to him.

00:53:07.000 No irony there.

00:53:08.000 Robert Reich, without even seeing a hint of irony here, in that he is Bill Clinton's former Secretary of Labor.

00:53:15.000 Still alive, too.

00:53:18.000 He had these takes.

00:53:19.000 In other words, when someone who is a former secretary of a president, one of the most corrupt ever, the Clinton family you could argue the most corrupt ever, you could argue, one could argue, not saying they killed multiple people, He had some of these takes.

00:53:34.000 He said, anyone who is saying Twitter's ban violates the First Amendment doesn't know that Twitter is a private company and the First Amendment protects individuals against government.

00:53:43.000 That was a year ago!

00:53:44.000 That was his take a year ago.

00:53:46.000 A little over, right?

00:53:46.000 Good job, Robert.

00:53:47.000 Which you would think now, it's like, it's a private company!

00:53:49.000 Okay, great!

00:53:49.000 There you go.

00:53:50.000 Should apply again.

00:53:51.000 It was a wrong take back then, by the way.

00:53:52.000 But, again, just hold them to their own standards.

00:53:54.000 Surely nothing has changed.

00:53:56.000 No, now, he says, Musk and his apologists say if consumers don't like what he does with Twitter, they can go elsewhere.

00:54:02.000 But where else would consumers go to post short messages that can reach millions of people other than Twitter?

00:54:08.000 The free market... Well, might I suggest your favorite public bathroom stall?

00:54:14.000 The free market increasingly reflects the demands of big money.

00:54:17.000 Come on! 0.61

00:54:18.000 Come on, just be consistent, Robert!

00:54:20.000 You're a hack! 0.99

00:54:20.000 Yeah, how about your anonymous, hyper-sexual personal ads? 0.99

00:54:24.000 He is a professor at Berkeley!

00:54:27.000 He has millions of followers! 0.99

00:54:29.000 I cannot believe people are dumb enough to listen to this guy who can't even be consistent with his own opinions! 0.99

00:54:35.000 Well, he's a professor at Berkeley, that's why. 0.99

00:54:36.000 Well, that's always what they used to say, right?

00:54:38.000 If you were to say, hey, look, I think we need to reform the Section 230 because these companies are very big and they enjoy, not only do they lobby the government, but there are former government officials who work here, there are people who donate 98% of their money, these are the most powerful companies in the world, entirely to the Democratic Party, and we just think that they need to be transparent and be beholden to the same rules as other companies that enjoy these benefits as public utilities.

00:54:55.000 And they would say, it's a private platform!

00:54:56.000 For the first time, they care about free enterprise.

00:55:00.000 And now, immediately, they say, we gotta do 230!

00:55:03.000 Well, we've been saying 230 for years, what do you want?

00:55:05.000 The government to take control over everything?

00:55:07.000 Oh, okay, we get it.

00:55:08.000 Bill Clinton's former Secretary of Labor.

00:55:10.000 Prick.

00:55:11.000 Now, I do understand why he's scared.

00:55:13.000 Is that what he was holding the whole time?

00:55:15.000 He's 5'2".

00:55:15.000 Well, yeah, so he's scared of everything.

00:55:16.000 The man's scared of his own shadow.

00:55:17.000 It's like Peter Pan, where he sees a shadow with a pan flute, and he's running.

00:55:22.000 He's a little Julie Andrews.

00:55:25.000 I just like that he's a secretary.

00:55:26.000 It's always just funny when it's a guy.

00:55:28.000 Well, he's probably that kind.

00:55:29.000 He didn't have as much fun in the White House.

00:55:32.000 Held the bulls.

00:55:33.000 Look at what Elon Musk posted.

00:55:35.000 This sounds like Stalin reincarnated.

00:55:36.000 Before the purchase was announced he said, I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means. 0.88

00:55:43.000 Absolutely disgusting.

00:55:45.000 And it's terrifying.

00:55:46.000 I just broke out in a cold sweat.

00:55:49.000 That's the icy hot patch.

00:55:50.000 That might be it.

00:55:50.000 Yeah, tricked me.

00:55:52.000 I was like, who am I, Stelter?

00:55:54.000 Is this tit sweat?

00:55:54.000 No, it's just the icy... Oh, oh, really?

00:55:57.000 Again?

00:55:58.000 I'm in a meat sweat from Cracker Barrel.

00:56:02.000 So, here's another quote from Yahoo, from a Twitter employee.

00:56:07.000 And to be fair, I wasn't able to find the original tweet.

00:56:09.000 I'm going to trust that Yahoo is an authoritative source, because why would they lie?

00:56:13.000 But it's funny enough that I wanted to include it, and Yahoo claims it's real.

00:56:16.000 I understand Yahoo's serious.

00:56:17.000 Yes.

00:56:18.000 So here's a quote from Yahoo, from someone who works at Twitter.

00:56:24.000 50 billion spent on a social media site when people are starving to death.

00:56:27.000 This is the kind of insight they have.

00:56:29.000 Here's something that really bothers me about this, aside from everything.

00:56:34.000 50 billion spent on a social media site when people are starving to death.

00:56:37.000 Don't you work at Twitter?

00:56:40.000 Hey, you're working in Silicon Valley!

00:56:43.000 What are you doing for people starving to death?

00:56:45.000 How much of your paycheck do you give?

00:56:47.000 When you take your vacation, are you feeding the homeless?

00:56:51.000 For some reason, people just go, when someone's rich, why are you allowed to spend money on anything other than other people's problems?

00:56:57.000 Well, you're rich compared to 99.9% of population Earth, certainly the people who are starving to death.

00:57:03.000 Why are you allowed to purchase, I don't know, anything?

00:57:07.000 A coffee? 0.99

00:57:09.000 Urban Outfitters, your silly little t-shirt that says, uh, do you know how I don't like you? 0.98

00:57:13.000 Because you're talking, huh? 0.98

00:57:14.000 Or Hot Topic, whatever the hell it is that you do. 0.90

00:57:16.000 I don't know, I just assume you embody everything that I hate over there. 0.91

00:57:18.000 The only language I speak is sarcasm.

00:57:20.000 Yes, exactly.

00:57:21.000 Here's the thing, Elon Musk...

00:57:24.000 Elon Musk just gave every Twitter shareholder an opportunity to go and solve the problem.

00:57:30.000 He just gave you $44 billion.

00:57:31.000 Go and do it.

00:57:32.000 And by the way, Elon Musk, $50 billion ain't gonna mean all that much to him.

00:57:36.000 So let's be clear, $50 billion to him is comparatively, maybe to you, what let's say, you know, the average salary for people who work in these tech companies is over $100,000 a year.

00:57:45.000 Let's call it $150,000 a year.

00:57:47.000 Okay, so $50 billion to him is maybe the equivalent to, let's say $20,000 a year.

00:57:54.000 Are you giving $20,000 of your salary to the poor?

00:57:58.000 To starving people?

00:57:59.000 For some reason, it's only expected of people once they have a certain... And by the way, if that's the crossover where they are required to do what you want in feeding the... What's the number?

00:58:10.000 Because if you talk to kids in Somalia, you talk to kids in Uganda, guess what?

00:58:14.000 They would probably make that number.

00:58:15.000 Well, anyone who's making over Five dollars a month!

00:58:19.000 And I don't have the numbers in front of me.

00:58:20.000 I'm giving you a general figure because those countries don't do very well financially.

00:58:25.000 Oh, that's racist.

00:58:25.000 No, no, it's true.

00:58:26.000 What are you doing to help them?

00:58:28.000 This is the class warfare that they wage, and it's a brilliant way to constantly apply standards to other people that they never apply to themselves.

00:58:36.000 We see it with free speech.

00:58:37.000 We see it with Section 320.

00:58:40.000 230?

00:58:40.000 230!

00:58:40.000 We see it now with Elon Musk with his money.

00:58:42.000 By the way, with the other billions, he was busy creating the only viable electric car that your folks told people to buy! 0.97

00:58:52.000 Wasn't gonna work with the Prius, it was a glorified shopping cart with a battery, and every asshole who couldn't drive decided to have a secret meeting behind our backs and say that they would buy one! 0.98

00:59:03.000 Nah. 0.94

00:59:03.000 And by the way, just so you know, when Elon Musk was shamed for not sending six billion dollars to end world hunger, he replied, if you can prove that you can end world hunger for six billion dollars, I'll write the check. 0.94

00:59:16.000 Well, the bluff was never called.

00:59:18.000 The problem is, is that's the immediate go-to to have, you know, this fake moral ideology.

00:59:24.000 You immediately go to, okay, why don't you solve world hunger?

00:59:26.000 Okay.

00:59:27.000 Well, the problem is, is we're going to throw relief rice out of a helicopter, but then all of the warlords confiscate it and still starve out their people.

00:59:34.000 There's so many other third world problems that are just cause that hunger than just the inability to get food.

00:59:42.000 It doesn't solve the problem. 1.00

00:59:43.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

00:59:43.000 There's so many layers of it, and it's like, yeah, why doesn't he give the poor all his money? 1.00

00:59:48.000 Same reason you do.

00:59:48.000 It's the same reason they go, this is absurd.

00:59:51.000 Hey, why don't we just change from fossil fuels to renewable?

00:59:54.000 Here's a five-page bill that I think covers all of it.

00:59:57.000 I think you'll find all the details in there.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, I donate to a homeless shelter in Detroit, and I donate to Special Olympics in an animal place.

01:00:04.000 That's what I do, because that's what I can afford to do.

01:00:07.000 Right.

01:00:07.000 And it's like, I can't, and I don't know, maybe somebody just keeps the money.

01:00:11.000 I don't know if they're corrupt.

01:00:12.000 Half the charities are.

01:00:16.000 Their Green New Deal, they go, we're going to write a 5-page... Is this the 5-page one or is it 16 pages?

01:00:21.000 Which bill was 16 pages versus 5 pages?

01:00:22.000 I believe the Green New Deal was 5 because you read it on air live.

01:00:25.000 I think it might have been 16 pages.

01:00:26.000 Really?

01:00:27.000 I don't think so.

01:00:28.000 I could be giving them more credit.

01:00:29.000 But AOC and the squad said, you know what?

01:00:32.000 We think something needs to be done about this climate crisis.

01:00:36.000 They wrote and said, we think you'll be really happy with what we've provided.

01:00:41.000 I think you'll be thrilled with what's on the back.

01:00:42.000 And you turn to the back, it just says, turn to the first five pages.

01:00:44.000 There's nothing more.

01:00:45.000 And they're like, your move.

01:00:46.000 It's just pictures.

01:00:47.000 Yeah.

01:00:48.000 It's like the front is a headshot and the back is just a picture of the back of their head.

01:00:52.000 Really?

01:00:54.000 It's a choose-your-own-adventure book?

01:00:56.000 Yeah, whatever you get to makes no sense.

01:01:00.000 It's a nonsense adventure. 0.83

01:01:01.000 You always end up killing yourself. 0.94

01:01:02.000 It's weird.

01:01:03.000 But there's a silver lining.

01:01:04.000 At least Jack Dorsey is happy.

01:01:06.000 Well, good for him.

01:01:07.000 He said Elon's goal of creating a platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is the right one.

01:01:12.000 What?

01:01:13.000 This is the right path.

01:01:14.000 I believe it with all my heart.

01:01:18.000 I think he's just happy that he got to cash out.

01:01:21.000 He was like, I'm never going to make any money on this.

01:01:25.000 No, I would just retire forever. 0.82

01:01:27.000 I would shave, change my name, take out the ridiculous nose ring and move on.

01:01:33.000 Yeah, no, I don't know. 0.86

01:01:34.000 I'm not giving Jack Dorsey too much credit.

01:01:36.000 No, I'm not giving him credit either.

01:01:38.000 And you guys can comment below why you think he's... What is that?

01:01:41.000 Sorry if I've been distracting.

01:01:42.000 Have you been hearing that weird noise?

01:01:43.000 It's like he's snoring.

01:01:45.000 It's coming from the edit bay?

01:01:47.000 Can we check in?

01:01:47.000 Over there I think, yeah.

01:01:49.000 Back on the road.

01:01:51.000 Rip Van Winkle is finally waking up.

01:02:03.000 Dude, how long was I out?

01:02:07.000 Like, 200.

01:02:08.000 Like, 200 years?

01:02:10.000 Oh, that was a rager, dude.

01:02:13.000 Last thing I remember is, uh... Wait, what happened to that dwarf? 0.99

01:02:18.000 Dave's not a dwarf.

01:02:23.000 Oh, come on! 0.99

01:02:25.000 What?

01:02:26.000 Oh, this, yeah, needs a little bit of a trim.

01:02:28.000 Uh, not the drapes, the carpet.

01:02:32.000 You need Manscaped.

01:02:33.000 What the hell's Manscaped?

01:02:35.000 It's a company that provides skin-safe tools for a man's more... sensitive areas.

01:02:40.000 Yeah, and it leaves you feeling hygienic and confident.

01:02:43.000 I like that.

01:03:34.000 Those breast cancer ladies don't get to have all the fun, now do they? 1.00

01:03:38.000 What about a little something for us here? 0.99

01:03:39.000 You know what, there's never been a major movement to save the balls. 0.97

01:03:43.000 Save the Balls. 0.99

01:03:43.000 Yeah, they both matter. 0.99

01:03:45.000 They do.

01:03:46.000 All I'm saying is they all matter.

01:03:48.000 Let's say Save the Wave.

01:03:49.000 I think it's because they have to come up with the nickname. 0.90

01:03:50.000 They're more responsible for crimes than breasts. 1.00

01:03:52.000 Well, that's probably true.

01:03:54.000 Something about the bell curve.

01:03:55.000 Now, they have the new Lawn Mower Testicular Cancer Society Edition, and they're going to give $50,000 to their longtime partner, the Testicular Cancer Society.

01:04:04.000 So they have this new, I think it's We Save Balls Edition, Yeah.

01:04:08.000 The lawnmower 4.0.

01:04:09.000 One thing I will say about this, look, I have you know that sometimes I've had to go in costume and shave everything and when I had surgery I had to shave everything.

01:04:17.000 There's a light on this trimmer.

01:04:18.000 I've had a lot of trimmers.

01:04:19.000 Yeah.

01:04:20.000 It really makes a difference.

01:04:21.000 Huh, where?

01:04:22.000 Well I'm just saying wherever you shave there's a light that rakes across for the same reason a light raking across your skin is unflattering.

01:04:28.000 You get to see everything that you miss and also things that No man should ever see.

01:04:28.000 Yeah.

01:04:32.000 It's why for the ad, Reed, we wanted to make sure to mention it, because it really is, like, it's impressive.

01:04:37.000 It actually makes a difference.

01:04:37.000 Yeah, it's impressive.

01:04:39.000 You're like, oh wow, I had no idea there was that mole with the hair that's smiling at me.

01:04:44.000 By the way, that ceramic guard?

01:04:46.000 Yeah.

01:04:47.000 Thank you, Manscaped.

01:04:49.000 Oh boy.

01:04:52.000 I don't have a bloodlust.

01:04:53.000 No, no.

01:04:54.000 I was going to say, I don't think we really have time to talk about Google right now.

01:04:58.000 You know what?

01:04:58.000 We're going to talk about this.

01:05:00.000 Do you want to talk about it on a mug club?

01:05:02.000 Sure!

01:05:02.000 Or do we want to still play What the Flag?

01:05:04.000 Let's do it tomorrow.

01:05:05.000 We've got a whole segment.

01:05:06.000 We'll do it.

01:05:06.000 Because it's a fun one.

01:05:08.000 Yeah, we have a whole segment on Google right now.

01:05:10.000 I don't know if you know this.

01:05:11.000 We'll tease, just so you know, along with Elon Musk, you know, Google, if you guys use Google Docs, things like that, they launched a new initiative where they're going to auto-correct words that were offensive.

01:05:20.000 And we've run into it.

01:05:21.000 The words aren't even necessarily offensive.

01:05:23.000 This is just, again, it's who determines what's offensive.

01:05:26.000 For example, mankind.

01:05:28.000 That's all I'm going to say.

01:05:29.000 Mankind will be auto-correct when you see a little cursor. 0.85

01:05:31.000 It's just back to that bent back paper clip.

01:05:33.000 It's person-kind.

01:05:33.000 What was it?

01:05:34.000 Gonzo?

01:05:34.000 Bonzo Buddy?

01:05:35.000 The Purple Gorilla?

01:05:36.000 Yeah, except the bent back paper clip has blue hair and is yelling at you.

01:05:39.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:05:40.000 You're a white supremacist. 0.99

01:05:41.000 I'm just Googling. 0.98

01:05:42.000 You wanted to ask Jeeves, but now it's ask Jess.

01:05:46.000 Ask Jeffrey from Befresh Prints.

01:05:48.000 Yeah.

01:05:49.000 It's like, I wanted to research, uh, say, did you mean sexual reassignment surgery?

01:05:53.000 Nope.

01:05:53.000 No!

01:05:54.000 No, Jeeves!

01:05:54.000 Slap Jeff.

01:05:55.000 No, I just want to know if there's a good pizza place.

01:05:58.000 I cut my paperclip off. 0.99

01:05:59.000 A good penis removal place. 1.00

01:06:02.000 So look, if you guys are watching right now, we're going to go to Mug Club. 0.99

01:06:05.000 Please do consider joining.

01:06:06.000 What we're about to hit is What The Flag.

01:06:07.000 These are all new gender flags, which of course, once upon a time, would have never been allowed on Twitter.

01:06:12.000 But you know what the good thing is?

01:06:13.000 We'll probably be able to post some clips from Mug Club, short clips, on Twitter now.

01:06:17.000 What?

01:06:17.000 Without being removed.

01:06:18.000 I bet you Twitter won't even remove us for our merchandise.

01:06:20.000 So hit the like button, leave a comment below.

01:06:22.000 The winning comment gets pinned and a lock of Gerald's back hair.

01:06:26.000 Oh, that was... YouTube!

01:06:27.000 Do you have it timed right now?

01:06:29.000 Yeah, I got it. 0.96

01:06:29.000 Piss off. 0.96

01:06:30.000 stern downtrodden 0.99

01:06:43.000 dance dance

01:06:59.000 Hold on a second.

01:07:03.000 Hold on one second here.

01:07:04.000 This is, you guys are experiencing what I'm experiencing.

01:07:06.000 I'm very confused.

01:07:07.000 Are we playing with the flag, or are we not?

01:07:09.000 Because you're saying that we have a problem with the mime, Togan Owen?

01:07:12.000 We may not have a mime, but we'll have someone in here to act out the genders. 1.00

01:07:16.000 Okay.

01:07:16.000 I don't know if I'm comfortable, because the mime helps.

01:07:19.000 The mime does help.

01:07:20.000 It does.

01:07:20.000 That's the only reason I get any of them.

01:07:22.000 We could play the game Make a Mime Talk.

01:07:26.000 Yeah.

01:07:26.000 That's a fun game.

01:07:27.000 This is loaded.

01:07:28.000 Yeah, that's what I mean.

01:07:29.000 Like, we really could have some fun.

01:07:31.000 That's always the plan B. Just tie him down and manscape 2.0 him.

01:07:37.000 2.0?

01:07:38.000 Manscape him, hook a car battery up.

01:07:42.000 That's one way to get rid of the air. 0.92

01:07:43.000 Just put an electrical current through this little patch.

01:07:45.000 Like trellises!

01:07:47.000 So do we have a mime?

01:07:48.000 If not, we can do the Google segment, or do we want to, uh... Do we want to ask the audience which one they prefer?

01:07:53.000 Yeah, hey guys, okay, you know what, you guys let us know, but if someone... We'll track right now.

01:07:57.000 I feel like we've made a false promise to YouTube, then.

01:08:00.000 Well, the thing is, I didn't realize that we didn't have a mime, so this is, you know... Mimeless.

01:08:04.000 Yeah.

01:08:05.000 Someone missed their mark.

01:08:08.000 Do you guys want to see us play What the Flight?

01:08:09.000 Or do you want us to talk to you about Google Docs and Google now getting rid of offensive language on Google Docs?

01:08:14.000 What are they going to do with Excel?

01:08:16.000 This is going to screw the accounting world.

01:08:17.000 It's going to mess things up.

01:08:18.000 It really is.

01:08:19.000 This actually ties back into the story we covered yesterday, where the European Commission, the DSA, we were talking about, where they're going to say, you know, cloud computing, internet, internet, sorry, jeez, the internet.

01:08:29.000 We've made our choice.

01:08:33.000 Thank you, Dave.

01:08:34.000 Everything that you put out there now, they're going to say, no, no, no, no, no, this is now something that we can block, right?

01:08:39.000 So they're saying, oh, this is just autocorrect to keep you from being hateful.

01:08:42.000 Really?

01:08:42.000 This means you're just looking at more of my information.

01:08:44.000 Not that you weren't already, but now you're correcting it.

01:08:47.000 Right.

01:08:47.000 Yeah.

01:08:47.000 I mean, a soulless robot is telling you, like, maybe you mean this, so it's not getting it accurate all the time, which is the best.

01:08:54.000 We could also just argue about artificial intelligence, because while we were going through Run-Thru this morning, people got really heated.

01:09:00.000 What was your point?

01:09:01.000 My point is this, you have all these nerds who are talking about artificial intelligence and they're acting like it's Skynet and AI is going to take over the world and how dangerous it is because it stems from Elon Musk.

01:09:10.000 It could.

01:09:10.000 I don't buy it.

01:09:11.000 Siri, Google, Home, Alexa, they're just glorified Furbies.

01:09:16.000 They can't even give you a news briefing.
