00:00:00.000 The American Jewish Congress is going after Gab, and they actually want to suspend the First Amendment in their effort to take down the free speech platform.
00:00:08.940 Now, they're framing this from the point of view that Marjorie Taylor Greene, you know, the crazy QAnon lady that recently begged and groveled for forgiveness over her connections between some of the COVID passport type things, vaccinations, actually, 0.73
00:00:22.180 and those who got a yellow star during the Holocaust, because of her behavior and some of the fundraising that she did on Gab,
00:00:31.540 one of the representatives from the American Jewish Congress actually wants to suspend parts of the First Amendment in order to go after Gab to take down the platform legally, right?
00:00:41.700 Check out this Gab post on this here, too.
00:00:43.400 You couldn't make it up. The president of the American Jewish Congress and a former Republican congressman called for dealing with Gab by making an exception for the First Amendment. 0.93
00:00:52.180 And this was actually a real story out of Newsweek, as you can see here, authored by Jack Rosen and Denver Riggleman,
00:01:01.300 president of the American Jewish Congress and a former member of Congress.
00:01:04.980 We need to stop Marjorie Taylor Greene's online extremism before it gets violent. 0.99
00:01:10.340 This is always what they say, right? It's going to turn violent.
00:01:12.440 And they say here, well, there's actually a president in censoring platforms and taking them down and suspending the First Amendment.
00:01:24.840 He says here, it's worth remembering that the FBI says that domestic extremism represents a worse terrorist threat to Americans than ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
00:01:33.100 Gee, I haven't heard that in the last couple of months.
00:01:35.260 Which is why the Biden administration's decision to join the Christchurch call to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online is a good first half.
00:01:43.260 Among the first targets should be the far-right social networking site called Gab.
00:01:48.620 But hang on, this gets even more salacious.
00:01:51.000 Check this out.
00:01:51.620 He's not only come down on conspiracy theories like truthers and QAnon or conspiracy theorists, I guess it is.
00:01:59.060 Doesn't like truthers, doesn't like QAnon.
00:02:01.120 He called his quackery painted with messianic strokes.
00:02:03.900 However, he himself have actually, yes, he has actually written a book on Bigfoot called Bigfoot, It's Complicated.
00:02:12.580 That's right.
00:02:13.780 So that's apparently okay.
00:02:16.040 Not a problem.
00:02:17.420 But those truthers, so that's a big problem, right? 0.99
00:02:21.880 So he himself has been accused of being a white supremacist, running with a white supremacist.
00:02:28.540 I think it was Stuart, was it Corey Stewart?
00:02:30.660 I think his running mate was, which turned out not to be true, but anyway, regardless.
00:02:37.240 So this is Riggleman, you can see on the picture here.
00:02:39.100 He's a former member of Congress, Republican from Virginia, and an advisor to the American Jewish Congress on countering white supremacist activity.
00:02:47.980 And then, you know, he's accused himself of being a white supremacist.
00:02:50.360 That's funny how that works out.
00:02:51.420 Now, he's way into Bigfoot and gets even more salacious Bigfoot erotica.
00:02:58.040 That's right.
00:02:58.320 More on that soon.
00:02:59.200 And he wrote books about it, too.
00:03:00.260 He describes himself as a Bigfoot scholar.
00:03:02.320 Riggleman is the only member of the Republican Party to speak on the House of Representatives floor against QAnon.
00:03:07.480 The Rappanoke County Republican Party criticized Riggleman after he officiated a same-sex wedding.
00:03:15.500 Is he a rabbi or something? 0.87
00:03:18.360 Or priest?
00:03:19.220 Anyway, he was censured by party officials who claimed that he had, quote, abandoned party principles over fiscal and immigration policy.
00:03:27.820 That's right.
00:03:28.540 So how about that Bigfoot erotica, though?
00:03:32.020 Let's dig a little bit deeper into that.
00:03:34.140 So here's Vox, and, of course, we can't always trust them, but since he's a Republican, they attack him from every angle they can.
00:03:41.000 So here they have written a little bit about this and his fetish with the Bigfoot schlongs. 0.95
00:03:45.800 That's right.
00:03:47.160 So, you know, gab, free speech, bad.
00:03:50.180 Bigfoot schlongs, good, right?
00:03:51.860 So here you can actually see a couple of pictures here from his Instagram back in the day.
00:03:57.040 Now, he had claimed that it was some kind of inside military joke, but that's not true.
00:04:00.320 He ended up locking his Instagram so people couldn't dig into it further at the time when he was running, I think, back in 2018.
00:04:06.580 So here is his, at that time, opponent, Leslie Cockburn.
00:04:09.780 There will be no mockery of your name, Mr. Glasscock.
00:04:12.300 Tweeting about this here. 0.99
00:04:13.720 And, of course, you know, slandering him as running with a white supremacist, which I think was never true, but all of that's bullshit anyway. 0.96
00:04:21.860 But anyway, now he's been exposed, she writes here, as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica. 0.97
00:04:26.060 This is not what we need on Capitol Hill.
00:04:30.560 And so he was going to actually write a book about that, too.
00:04:34.020 It turns out, here's another post here from Denver Riggleman.
00:04:41.460 And that book was called Missing Habits of Bigfoot.
00:04:45.040 Sorry, mating habits. 0.96
00:04:46.620 That's right.
00:04:47.200 That's right.
00:04:48.020 Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him. 0.83
00:04:52.600 So here's another censored image here that he put on his Instagram with the schlong covered up. 0.95
00:05:00.880 But what are you going to do?
00:05:01.940 Maybe this guy is, like, massively compromised and they get him to do certain things at certain times.
00:05:07.720 I'm not sure what to make of this guy.
00:05:09.240 It seems like he's being used as a tool to inject strange ideas and strange things into the political landscape and narrative at times.
00:05:18.300 But anyway, he opened the Newsweek article here by saying,
00:05:21.900 The American political system is under attack from far-right extremists and white supremacists.
00:05:27.860 Of course, always, right? 0.98
00:05:29.640 Gotta look out for the boogeyman.
00:05:31.380 This battle for the democracy and diversity that defines America has already spilled into violence and insurrection.
00:05:39.040 It begins not in the streets, but in the shadows of online chat rooms and social networking sites that spread lies and disinformation.
00:05:48.360 That's right.
00:05:48.620 You gotta shut it all down because you don't like what people talk about online.
00:05:53.060 And then he claims that that foments anger and hatred and coordinate dangerous action.
00:05:59.020 And then he goes on to talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene and all that stuff, right?
00:06:03.880 Big supporter of FBI, all the deep state intelligence services, of course, and all that kind of stuff, right?
00:06:09.560 But it is interesting how they always try to claim that, like, just because you don't know about a website or you've never visited it,
00:06:15.660 that's the dark, shadowy corners of the web when it's just like, well, you can just go to, well, what would it be?
00:06:23.380 4chan or something like that, right?
00:06:25.340 It's a website visited by millions of people.
00:06:27.920 It's not really shadowy, maybe to your mind, but anyway.
00:06:31.100 So very bizarre guy.
00:06:33.100 And now they've used him as a pawn and as a tool to get him to launch this proposal that a website, a social media platform,
00:06:45.000 which is dedicated to free speech, and although they do follow the laws and the rules,
00:06:50.080 we need to use the FBI or whatever law enforcement we have,
00:06:53.640 storm into, break into Gab's server rooms and unplug the power cord to their servers so that everything is shut down.
00:07:05.320 But there you go.
00:07:06.320 Thank you so much for making it obvious on where you stand when it comes to free speech.
00:07:11.380 Absolutely despicable.
