00:02:14.020 does anybody understand how ruined my life is tonight a deafening silence from the president's twitter

00:02:21.100 account in his waning days as commander-in-chief twitter run by ceo jack dorsey saying after close

00:02:27.720 review of the president's recent tweets it banned him due to the risk of further incitement of violence 0.96

00:02:33.420 gay wonk doesn't have a sense of humor doesn't understand this even though he's supposedly a wonk 0.99

00:02:38.160 his brain is having a real hard time wrapping his head around basic concepts and so the little 0.98

00:02:42.480 crap storm he threw actually caused youtube to reconsider and youtube demonetized crowder's account 0.99

00:02:48.800 and still still that wasn't enough for gay wonk sell the what gay wonk bitched basically all 1.00

00:02:56.320 political content gets demonetized crowder's revenue stream isn't from youtube ads it's from selling 0.98

00:03:01.260 merch and socialism is for shirt actually gay wonk it's socialism is for figs selling those shirts to 0.80

00:03:08.740 millions of loyal customers that youtube continues to drive to his channel for free 0.97

00:03:12.340 all right so

00:03:15.200 let's let's have a conversation about freedom of speech

00:03:21.020 now i am going to make the case today that i do not believe that freedom of speech exists in this

00:03:28.380 country i don't i don't believe it does

00:03:33.120 and the reason i don't believe it does is because i have lived this i've lived this so apparently

00:03:41.900 youtube has told content creators that we were censored during the biden administration

00:03:48.240 and now obviously we know this

00:03:51.620 and i was thinking about freedom of speech and i was thinking about everyone's saying now we're in the

00:03:59.560 golden age of youtube right wing creators are back youtube is issuing apologies and we'll get into

00:04:05.060 that later and um now we are just going to be so free to speak so i want to first think about what is

00:04:13.460 free speech and what constitutional rights do i have as an american citizen

00:04:17.740 in the united states free speech is a constitutionally protected right

00:04:23.100 that allows individuals to express their opinions and ideas without government interference

00:04:30.500 this right extends to various forms of expression beyond just speaking including writing printing

00:04:37.760 broadcasting and symbolic acts however freedom of speech is not absolute it does not protect

00:04:44.600 speech that incites imminent lawless actions constitutes fighting words or falls under

00:04:51.560 other narrowly defined categories like obscenity

00:04:55.220 it's crucial to remember that the first amendment protects against government censorship

00:05:01.140 not restrictions by private entities like

00:05:04.760 companies

00:05:06.060 or employers

00:05:08.380 what is protected

00:05:12.560 government restraint

00:05:14.740 the core of the right is protection from government action ensuring the government cannot punish or suppress speech

00:05:21.360 broad forms of expression speech encompasses more than just words it includes symbolic acts

00:05:28.360 protests writing and online communication unpopular or offensive views most speech even if controversial hateful or offensive is protected really really we're going to get into that really

00:05:40.360 uh the freedom of speech also includes the right to hear read and receive information from others limitations incitement to violence speech is protected and

00:05:50.360 if it's likely to incite imminent lawless action and is directed to causing that immediate harm

00:05:57.360 fighting words words that are likely to provoke a violent reaction are and are directed at another person cannot be restricted obscenity there's no right to make or distribute obscene material 0.54

00:06:09.360 you know it's so crazy you can't distribute obscene materials but women can be naked damn near in public 1.00

00:06:16.360 it's like school related speech schools can limit students speech such as preventing students from publishing articles in a school newspaper or advocating illegal drug use in a school sponsored event

00:06:31.360 who is bound by the first amendment government action the first amendment primarily binds government entities including the federal state and local government private entities they are free to set their own rules for speech on their platforms and in their workplaces

00:06:50.360 so apparently um actually i'm gonna put this one on this stream

00:06:57.360 apparently youtube is changing its time now youtube i will first say haha if you're watching um

00:07:05.360 thanks for letting me back on but i do have to say this i do i don't really believe you guys i don't really believe you guys are um

00:07:17.360 gonna do what you say you're gonna do but i hope you do all right so google

00:07:24.360 to reinstate youtube accounts censored for political speech

00:07:31.360 to remind you that 60 percent of sales on amazon come from independent sellers

00:07:38.360 john of double dog will hand out of course we have a

00:07:41.360 you see this and by the oh my god no by the way we can see this

00:07:48.360 this is the female economy in real time who are these ads towards 1.00

00:07:54.360 who's buying dogs and dying alone women women are the ones with dogs 1.00

00:08:02.360 because men plan on like taking care of things when they buy it

00:08:05.360 yeah good boy

00:08:09.360 to remind you that 60 percent of sales on amazon come from

00:08:12.360 oh we're still going huh

00:08:13.360 scott from string joy will pack 60 guitar strings in 60 seconds

00:08:17.360 one two

00:08:19.360 string joy

00:08:21.360 i mean amazon for women okay now we're back

00:08:26.360 joining us now chairman of the very important house 0.92

00:08:29.360 judiciary committee jim jordan is with us i don't know what the hell your

00:08:32.360 colleagues are talking about uh no kidding is it possible

00:08:36.360 what's happening in great britain can happen here

00:08:39.360 well yeah i think that the example you gave about the comedian who was arrested

00:08:43.360 remember sean this was an irish citizen who was in america in the united states in

00:08:47.360 arizona when he issued the tweet and then he flies to the uk and when he lands he

00:08:52.360 gets arrested it's just a matter of time before that happens to an american

00:08:55.360 understand what we've done sean last congress we investigated what the biden

00:08:58.360 administration did you know the biden administration on the third day they

00:09:02.360 send an email from the white house to twitter saying take down this tweet asap

00:09:06.360 and it was a tweet from rfk jr who happened to be the guy who's going to run

00:09:10.360 against him in the democrat primary before rfk jr said i'm in the party that

00:09:14.360 defends the first amendment i'm going to support president trump so that's the

00:09:19.360 that's the real threat was the biden administration so we investigate all that

00:09:22.360 we find out the biden administration is pressuring big tech to censor americans

00:09:25.360 now it's going to europe and what they've done sean remember the disinformation

00:09:29.360 governance board that the biden administration set up europe is now

00:09:33.360 codified made law the disinformation governance board and you got a bunch of

00:09:37.360 bureaucrats now with the force of law behind them going after europeans and i think it's just a matter of time

00:09:43.360 before it impacts americans just like this irish citizen who was arrested when he landed for some

00:09:50.360 joking tweet that he put out a few days back that's how bad it's gotten i i think the best

00:09:56.360 example is the one you brought up and that is when the fbi verified the authenticity of hunter

00:10:02.360 biden's laptop in march of 2020 they systematically went around and met with social media companies

00:10:08.360 pre bunking it week after week after week they were meeting weekly and they said you may be a victim of

00:10:14.360 russian disinformation it may be about hunter maybe about joe biden sure enough they knew bob costello rudy

00:10:20.360 giuliani's then attorney had a copy they knew the story would leak the new york post drops it these very

00:10:26.360 same company mark zuckerberg who you know and and jack dorsey that of twitter they call up is this the

00:10:33.360 disinformation you were talking about they wouldn't confirm the truth that they knew because

00:10:39.360 they spent all the time pre-bunking it that to me is abuse of power that's cinder blocks on an election

00:10:45.360 and and yeah chilling free speech and and and the new york post got censored they got locked out of their

00:10:51.360 account that's what happens when you let rfk jr when he testified said it best when you look at history it's

00:10:57.360 never the good guys who are for censorship it's always the bad guys thank goodness president trump

00:11:02.360 won and we've stopped it but we got to make sure this does this doesn't continue in europe i mean the

00:11:07.360 hallmark we had a we had a wonderful witness last congress as well rupa zupar mania journalist from

00:11:11.360 canada and she said the hallmark of western culture is free expression if you lose that if you can't debate

00:11:17.360 it is scary and where they want to take that again they have codified the disinformation governance board

00:11:23.360 bureaucrats telling you what you can say what you can post what you can tweet what you can read that is

00:11:29.360 wrong and you felt it firsthand the censorship of some things you did you online everything else so this is

00:11:35.360 how dangerous it is it's why we're focused on i left london at a good time okay google detailed

00:11:43.360 its remarkable shift in a document oh oh joy oh joy first obtained by fox news digital that a lawyer for

00:11:53.360 the company provided to the house judiciary committee the new policy from google also known by its

00:11:59.840 parent company alphabet could affect both average users and well-known figures like the fbi director

00:12:06.800 don bongino white house counterterrorism chief sebastian gorka and war room podcast host steve bannon

00:12:17.920 all of whom were permanently banned in recent years for covet 19 or election related content

00:12:26.000 reflecting on the company's commitment to free expression youtube will provide an opportunity for

00:12:31.440 all creators to rejoin the platform it if the company terminated their channels for repeated

00:12:38.800 violations of covet 19 and election integrity policies that are no longer in effect

00:12:45.120 bongino ended his converse conservative radio show which live streamed on rumble when he joined

00:12:52.240 the administration this year he attributed his popularity on the platform to permanently losing

00:12:58.480 his youtube channel in 2022 youtube permanently banned bongino who had one of the most followed accounts on

00:13:06.560 the platform for spreading what he said was covet 19 misinformation about about masks the document from google

00:13:14.720 also noted that youtube values conservative voices on its platform and acknowledged that creators have

00:13:20.800 extensive reach and play an important role in civic discourse the document included a section about the

00:13:27.520 biden administration and said the white house officials at the time pushed google behind the scenes to remove

00:13:34.160 perceived misinformation related to covet 19 the lawyer for google also noted that the big tech platform

00:13:40.640 censored content independently of the biden administration based on its internal policies but that the company

00:13:48.720 has rolled back on those policies senior biden administration officials including white house officials

00:13:55.760 conducted repeated and sustained outreach to alphabet and pressed the company regarding certain user generated

00:14:03.440 content related to coven 19 that did not violate its policies the administration created a political

00:14:10.400 atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding misinformation

00:14:17.680 reached for comment a google spokeswoman told fox news digital it did not have anything more to add

00:14:24.000 besides what was in the document and google's revelations came in response to a years-long republican-led

00:14:31.760 investigation by the committee into big tech companies including google

00:14:35.840 um that censored and suppressed content on their platform related to covet 19 in the 2020 election and

00:14:43.120 hunter biden youtube's posture follows meta simply shifting last year towards denouncing the biden

00:14:49.840 administration's pressure tactics which were well documented in emails provided to the committee

00:14:57.280 meta revealed at the time that it was a third party fact checkers a move then joe biden called really

00:15:04.880 shameful youtube had not used outside fact checkers and vowed it will not empower fact checkers to take

00:15:11.920 action or label content on the platform parallel to congressional investigators was a lawsuit

00:15:20.320 brought by two republican attorneys general over social media censorship discovery in the case largely

00:15:27.280 mirrored what the committee uncovered the supreme court ultimately did not decide on the merits of the case

00:15:35.120 um and instead found that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring it but the lower courts

00:15:41.520 had largely sided with the plaintiffs plaintiffs including a judge who found the federal government seemed to have

00:15:50.480 assumed a role similar um to a ministry of truth the high court's decision disappointed republicans who hoped for a

00:16:00.240 landmark ruling and social media companies censorship practices violating the first amendment the case

00:16:07.840 also explored a jaw boning which involves the government pressuring private companies to censor their speech

00:16:15.760 the team jaw boning has resurfaced in the wake of charlie kirk's death after an abc late night

00:16:22.880 late late late night host jimmy kimmel kimmel suggested on his show that the suspect tyler robinson was a

00:16:29.760 member of the maga group authorities have said robinson felt kirk spread hate and hat they that he

00:16:36.960 engraved his bullet casings with gamer inspired anti-fascist messaging kimmel also repeatedly expressed

00:16:46.480 sympathies for kirk's family and condemned the shooting still abc and its owners suspended kimmel's

00:16:52.800 show abc lifted the suspension beginning tuesday but one of the affiliate owners said it will continue to

00:17:00.160 replace jimmy or to replace kimmel with other programming concerns do you know what's so crazy

00:17:07.040 you know what i have liberal friends say this to me talking about kimmel and i'm like boo freaking who

00:17:14.000 he got kicked off for a week oh oh oh cry me a river cry me a river it's like oh no they got mad at you and

00:17:27.040 you you don't know what i bet and by the way what i what happened to me was nothing compared to the

00:17:33.760 other guy the other guys have had it so much worse and i'm still going to complain about it i am still 0.93

00:17:39.520 going to complain about it because it's such a bullshit okay all right um in addition to censorship 0.58

00:17:48.320 concessions google also criticized the european union's digital service acts and digital markets act 0.96

00:17:55.440 and told the judiciary committee it will remain vigilant in the face of legal obligations from

00:18:00.720 other countries the eu laws have drawn bipartisan scrutiny and congress over concerns the foreign

00:18:06.720 laws will force big tech companies to follow more extensive regulations and to ramp up content

00:18:13.040 moderation in a way that could affect american users
