00:00:00.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk show, Jack Posobiec joins us to unpack the Elon Musk saga.

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:05.000 And Doug Mastriano, who is hopefully going to be the next governor of Pennsylvania, someone we need to rally for, joins our program.

00:00:36.000 And thank you guys for starting Turning Point USA groups and come to AmericaFest AMFest.com on December 17, 18, 19, 20 in Phoenix, Arizona, amfest.com.

00:00:46.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:47.000 Here we go.

00:00:48.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:50.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:52.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:55.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:59.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:00.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:01.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:03.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:09.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:18.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:21.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:24.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.

00:01:26.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:01:33.000 We spent a fair amount of time hitting John Fetterman, and that is a good thing.

00:01:37.000 We should continue to keep the pressure on Fetterman.

00:01:39.000 We need to make sure Oz wins.

00:01:41.000 But never should we accept the idea that we should have Oz win at the expense of Mastriano.

00:01:47.000 Well, that is what the snakes in the Republican Party are trying to pull off. 0.86

00:01:54.000 We need to make sure Mastriano wins.

00:01:56.000 We need to make sure Shapiro loses.

00:01:58.000 And we are here going to focus a lot of time on that today in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

00:02:04.000 Joining us now is one of my favorite candidates running for governor in America.

00:02:08.000 I really hope he wins.

00:02:09.000 We're going to do everything we possibly can to help him get him across the finish line.

00:02:12.000 It is Doug Mastriano.

00:02:14.000 His website is DougNumber4Gov.com.

00:02:17.000 Doug, welcome back to the program.

00:02:19.000 It's great to be back with you, and thanks for having me on.

00:02:21.000 I like the Phillies hat.

00:02:22.000 It's very good.

00:02:23.000 I think we have some Astros fans in the audience.

00:02:26.000 And I don't know how did they ever have to give back those World Series titles?

00:02:30.000 Did they ever have to?

00:02:32.000 Maybe we could start a trend.

00:02:34.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:02:34.000 I think they ever have to give that back.

00:02:36.000 Oh, Andrew said no.

00:02:37.000 Andrew's my resident baseball scholar.

00:02:40.000 So, Doug, talk about your race, and then I'm going to let it rip about this latest advertisement, which I think is the private part being aired out loud about a coup in the Republican Party to come after you.

00:02:52.000 I don't blame Oz for it because he didn't have fingerprints on it, but it was a lot of operatives kind of in his arena.

00:02:57.000 Not good.

00:02:57.000 First, tell us about your race, and then we'll dive into that.

00:03:00.000 Race is going fantastic.

00:03:01.000 We are in the southeast outside of Philly yesterday for three events.

00:03:04.000 The first event we went to in the middle of a workday, it was standing room only in Bucks County.

00:03:09.000 That's like a battleground county.

00:03:11.000 And we're going to flip it red this go around here.

00:03:14.000 We've campaigned heavy in Democrat areas over the past couple of weeks near Pittsburgh, in and near Philly, in Erie, Pennsylvania.

00:03:24.000 And we always get these massive crowds.

00:03:26.000 I mean, we were talking about 600 people in Erie.

00:03:29.000 We had standing room only in an event in a Democrat working class neighborhood outside of Pittsburgh.

00:03:35.000 My opponent went a couple of days later.

00:03:37.000 We had four or five hundred people.

00:03:38.000 I couldn't count it.

00:03:39.000 Like I said, standing room.

00:03:40.000 My opponent showed up a couple of days later, and I think he pulled in a whopping 15 or 12 people.

00:03:45.000 I mean, so that many?

00:03:47.000 That's a lot more than I would have expected from him.

00:03:49.000 They have to crop in, Charlie, so you can't see the empty room.

00:03:53.000 I mean, with us, we just pan the audience, you know, much like what Trump does at his events to see you can see that it's real what we have going on here.

00:03:59.000 And I think, I guess, kind of to segue, this grassroots movement, for some reason, the establishment is terrified of it.

00:04:08.000 I don't quite understand what's to be afraid of the people that we say we represent.

00:04:12.000 Yeah, and you are so good on crime.

00:04:15.000 You're good on all the issues that matter.

00:04:17.000 And I want to get to your crime plan, by the way.

00:04:19.000 It's really great.

00:04:21.000 And you have a plan that consists of supporting the police, keeping violent criminals behind bars, and cleaning up Pennsylvania's most dangerous neighborhoods.

00:04:28.000 Tell us about your plan.

00:04:30.000 So my opponent is a senior law enforcement official, and it's unconscionable that any leader in the Republican Party or any establishment type would think that he'd be a good alternative when people are dying because of his failures of six years on the job.

00:04:44.000 This would, I think, disqualify him from office because we are looking at almost 2,000 shooting victims in Philadelphia alone this year, 439 homicides, probably will break a record 600 this year in Philadelphia alone.

00:04:57.000 Over 1,000 carjackings in Philadelphia alone, 4,411 robberies in Philadelphia alone this year.

00:05:04.000 And open air drug market and on and on.

00:05:07.000 So my policy, of course, is going to move swiftly with alacrity against the criminals.

00:05:13.000 A lot of talk, you know, I think confusingly at the Senate level between Oz and Fetterman on crime.

00:05:19.000 Tell me exactly what a federal senator can do about crime in the state of Pennsylvania or any state for that matter.

00:05:24.000 They can't do anything.

00:05:25.000 This is a governor's fight.

00:05:27.000 And so my crime plan, of course, is go after criminals.

00:05:30.000 My opponent sits on the parole boards with Fetterman is released between 8,000 and 10,000 criminals early.

00:05:35.000 And so that's a revolving door there, cashless bail in Philadelphia.

00:05:39.000 It's just ripe for this corrupt, unsafe environment.

00:05:42.000 So on day one, I'll have the backs of our police.

00:05:44.000 We'll fund the police.

00:05:46.000 We will, of course, make sure they have the resources they need.

00:05:48.000 We'll be surging special prosecutors in the Philadelphia and other high crime areas of the state to punish criminals rapidly.

00:05:55.000 We'll be fighting against this revolving door in the criminal justice system, of course.

00:05:59.000 And we'll be protecting victims as well.

00:06:02.000 When they release these folks on the streets with this cashless bail, you know, within 72 hours, usually they go after the victims again or those that reported them to law enforcement in the first place.

00:06:10.000 And so that needs to end.

00:06:12.000 Charlie, talking to the moms in Kensington where the open-air drug market is, I went without cameras, you know, unlike a politician.

00:06:18.000 So I did not televise my tour there with my wife.

00:06:22.000 It was horrific.

00:06:23.000 The zombie-like people freaked out on fentanyl, needing help.

00:06:28.000 The Wolf administration has pushed out faith-based organizations and is only using state organizations, which have about a 30% success rate.

00:06:35.000 I'm told that the faith-based ones are 70% helping people get off the drugs.

00:06:40.000 We're going to, of course, open up to helping these organizations, any organization that has success in helping people in this cycle of addiction.

00:06:48.000 We're going to open up the door and support them from Harrisburg.

00:06:52.000 And law enforcement right now, they know that the governor does not have their backs.

00:06:57.000 Our governor and the attorney general, they're part of this whole defund the police cabal.

00:07:02.000 Our governor, in the midst of COVID, in violation of his own policies, marched with thousands at a defund the police rally with a blue lives murder sign behind his head.

00:07:10.000 And like a typical leftist, he's protected by guns, by police.

00:07:13.000 I mean, the hypocrisy is just astounding. 0.54

00:07:15.000 That ends under my administration.

00:07:17.000 I love that.

00:07:18.000 So now I want to dive into this, Doug, which really bothers me.

00:07:22.000 So there was an advertisement that was run by Carl Rove Super PAC.

00:07:26.000 It's cut 124, I believe.

00:07:28.000 If we guys can begin to queue it up, whatever cut it is, 147.

00:07:32.000 I'm sorry.

00:07:32.000 Cut up 147.

00:07:33.000 I'll call for it in a second.

00:07:34.000 Which basically is hitting Fetterman, but also says Shapiro is great, which looks like a anti-Fetterman, pro-Shapiro advertisement.

00:07:45.000 Play cut 147.

00:07:47.000 I'm actually a Democrat.

00:07:48.000 I'm running on my record on crime.

00:07:52.000 John Fetterman's record on crime is crazy.

00:07:55.000 He's not like most Democrats.

00:07:57.000 Dozens of times, he was the only vote to pardon criminals.

00:08:01.000 225 times, Josh Shapiro voted against the criminals.

00:08:05.000 But Fetterman voted to release them.

00:08:07.000 That's nuts.

00:08:08.000 Fetterman's way more radical than Shapiro.

00:08:11.000 What's wrong with this guy?

00:08:13.000 American Crossroads is responsible for the content of this advertising.

00:08:17.000 Well, so then what that does is it gives comfort to people that will then not vote for Fetterman, but then vote against you.

00:08:24.000 What the heck is going on here?

00:08:25.000 Especially, you know, forgiving the culpability of Josh Shapiro as our attorney general.

00:08:32.000 He's been in a job for six years.

00:08:33.000 So how does he get a free pass?

00:08:35.000 And so, Charlie, I got to tell you, on the inside, there was an attempt about two months ago to play this game, try to split the voters.

00:08:42.000 It's divide and conquer.

00:08:43.000 And these so-called establishment people are, you know, all right, let's say Oz loses and we have Fetterman in office and Fetterman, because of health, can't stay long.

00:08:52.000 The governor, Governor Matastriano, gets to appoint the new senator.

00:08:56.000 And so this, and so we're like cutting off our nose despite our face here. 0.95

00:09:01.000 This is just ridiculous madness. 0.52

00:09:03.000 Josh Shapiro owns the crime in the state, not John Fetterman.

00:09:06.000 Yeah, he has bad votes on the parole board, but the guy in charge of law and order.

00:09:11.000 Seriously.

00:09:12.000 It doesn't make any sense to me. 0.93

00:09:14.000 I mean, it's ridiculous. 0.93

00:09:15.000 And I also think it's going to hurt. 0.71

00:09:16.000 I think this is backfiring because there are a lot of voters that are comfortable with you in the center part of the state, and they're not comfortable with Oz.

00:09:23.000 And so I think it actually hurts a lot that you guys both need each other as a united ticket.

00:09:28.000 That's what we should all want, isn't it?

00:09:30.000 That's exactly.

00:09:31.000 And you're absolutely right.

00:09:32.000 The base is 100% on board of me, and they'll tend to go with me.

00:09:38.000 But if they see that, and Oz is not guilty of this law, as you rightly pointed out, the establishment is putting Dr. Oz at risk by playing this divide.

00:09:47.000 I mean, I said this to Oz.

00:09:48.000 I mean, I text him.

00:09:49.000 I said, you know, I know it's not you, but the people in your orbit are really playing a dangerous game here. 1.00

00:09:53.000 It's stupid and it's wrong. 1.00

00:09:55.000 It's this typical D.C. Uniparty crap, and it drives me nuts. 1.00

00:09:59.000 Doug4Gov.com, DougNumber4Gov.com. 0.97

00:10:02.000 It drives me absolutely up a wall when I see great candidates that get knifed by uniparty Republican consultants because they don't like Doug.

00:10:11.000 And I don't know.

00:10:12.000 The whole thing is just really, I mean, you guys understand.

00:10:14.000 It's the same.

00:10:14.000 It's like the turtle sending money up into Alaska.

00:10:17.000 Doug, we're in the final push here.

00:10:20.000 You're campaigning on the ground.

00:10:21.000 You're making your closing arguments.

00:10:23.000 Talk about the health and the state of the race.

00:10:25.000 Raz Musin has us in a statistical dead heat.

00:10:28.000 And, you know, Charlie, hats off to the Democrats.

00:10:30.000 They see the road to the White House in 2024 and potentially appointing a federal senator if Fetterman wins and he's unable to stay in office.

00:10:38.000 They see that this is a most important gubernatorial race in the nation.

00:10:42.000 They've poured into the pockets of my failed opponent.

00:10:45.000 We talked about his failure on crime in the state, despite this establishment trying to say otherwise.

00:10:51.000 $44 million in this campaign.

00:10:53.000 And despite being outspent about 10 to 1, we're still neck and neck because we've been taking our message directly to people and through platforms such as yours, making our appeals.

00:11:02.000 So we're asking people to go to Doug4Gov.com and you can volunteer, even if you don't live in Pennsylvania.

00:11:07.000 We appreciate any help people can offer us.

00:11:09.000 Yeah.

00:11:10.000 And I mean, there's so many different dynamics in this race, and fracking is a big one as well.

00:11:15.000 Talk about energy.

00:11:16.000 Talk about what you could do as governor.

00:11:18.000 And the Democrat Party, they're not totally clear about it, but their agenda really is to destroy fracking in Pennsylvania, isn't it?

00:11:24.000 It absolutely is.

00:11:26.000 My opponent is the heavy regulation of our energy sector in Pennsylvania will be in place and remain with him in power.

00:11:35.000 He's heavily supported by these far-left environmental groups.

00:11:38.000 On day one of my administration, I'm going to pull us out of this carbon tax that Governor Wolf unconstitutionally signed us up for.

00:11:45.000 And we'll see a drop in our energy costs in Pennsylvania almost by half within the first few weeks of my administration.

00:11:50.000 It's called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

00:11:52.000 I'll be rolling back about eight years of over-regulation on our energy sector, which has forced many of our power plants to leave the state as well.

00:12:00.000 Many companies leave for Ohio, West Virginia, and Texas.

00:12:04.000 We have one of the largest natural gas deposits underneath our feet in Pennsylvania.

00:12:10.000 On top of that, we have high-quality anthracite coal.

00:12:12.000 We have high-quality oil.

00:12:14.000 And so, my goal, of course, is to make us a net massive energy exporter to include not only other states, but also to our allies in Europe.

00:12:22.000 When I was a colonel in the Army, I had many conversations in Eastern and Northern Europe about getting off of Russian oil and gas. 0.83

00:12:28.000 And Lithuania is ready to receive Pennsylvania natural gas.

00:12:32.000 Living up to their promise to me almost a decade ago, they built an LNG liquefied natural gas terminal, a ship, off of their port at Clapita to receive two years' worth of energy for the three Baltic nations, Estonia, Lafayette, Lithuania, and in great fashion because we are a partner state with Lithuania, our National Guard, as we've been fighting and training with them for us 25 years now.

00:12:53.000 I served with them in Afghanistan, in fact.

00:12:55.000 They call this ship the Independence.

00:12:57.000 I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

00:12:58.000 There's $100 billion in energy revenues ready to be had, and Pennsylvania should get the lion's share of that under Masteriano.

00:13:04.000 And look, fracking is class hatred.

00:13:08.000 They want to make it illegal for rural people to earn money, and they hate on them for basically being poor and white and in the center part of the state.

00:13:16.000 It's really reprehensible.

00:13:17.000 Talk about how people can support you on the website, Doug, and the closing pitch and the need for resources.

00:13:22.000 Thank you.

00:13:23.000 I mean, we are the birthplace of our nation, 1776.

00:13:25.000 You know, this and the new birth of freedom at Gettysburg, the picture behind me.

00:13:29.000 Pennsylvania is the Keystone State.

00:13:31.000 So if you go to Doug4Gov.com and help us get across the line, just 11 days ago, and we're going to win, but only with the people's help.

00:13:38.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:13:39.000 Thank you so much for joining us.

00:13:39.000 You bet, Doug.

00:13:40.000 Great job as always.

00:13:41.000 We're behind you.

00:13:42.000 Doug, number4gov.com.

00:13:43.000 Thank you.

00:13:44.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:13:47.000 There are streams of video of woke left-wing social justice warrior Twitter data engineers that are just getting thrown out of the building at Twitter.

00:13:55.000 It's happening in real time.

00:13:56.000 They're coming out and they're coming out and they're coming out and they're coming out.

00:14:00.000 So the mass firings at Twitter have begun.

00:14:02.000 Boy, next is the FBI.

00:14:04.000 I'll tell you what.

00:14:05.000 That place needs to get cleaned up very, very quickly.

00:14:08.000 As always, you can email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:14:12.000 I don't want to comment on this too much until I have all the information.

00:14:16.000 And we never support political violence on this program.

00:14:20.000 And obviously, the media ignores every time one of our students gets attacked on campus because of political violence.

00:14:25.000 Just recently, it happened.

00:14:27.000 But this whole thing with the break-in at Katie Hobbs' office and what's happening in San Francisco with Mr. Pelosi, the whole thing is just very suspicious to me.

00:14:37.000 I haven't made really strong opinions on it.

00:14:40.000 The whole thing is just very bizarre, and I don't really know what to make of it.

00:14:43.000 I'm sure some of you guys agree.

00:14:44.000 I'd love your thoughts.

00:14:45.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:14:47.000 Something about it just smells.

00:14:49.000 I don't like it.

00:14:50.000 We need to continue to dive into these topics and these issues.

00:14:54.000 It's very important as I am watching the videos and the images of people just flood out of the Twitter offices in San Francisco.

00:15:02.000 And the former employee count increases as Twitter is being liberated.

00:16:04.000 Joining us now is Jack Pasobic from the great program, Hun Events Daily, on every night on Real America's Voice.

00:16:09.000 Jack, tell people how they can find that program.

00:16:11.000 Yeah, Charlie, just as you said, it's Real America's Voice every evening, 10 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Pacific.

00:16:16.000 We're also out on the podcast, Apple, Spotify, Rumble, wherever you get your podcast.

00:16:21.000 We're out there every single day.

00:16:23.000 And, you know, just this week, everything that we've seen with Twitter has been absolutely incredible.

00:16:27.000 We're seeing it across the country right now in terms of the midterms.

00:16:31.000 You know, I'd kind of say it's basically like there's always this question, right, when you're in an election.

00:16:36.000 And Charlie, I know you get this on a lot.

00:16:37.000 You know, are we peaking early?

00:16:39.000 Are we peaking early?

00:16:40.000 It doesn't feel that way.

00:16:42.000 What it feels to me is that the right is cresting, right?

00:16:47.000 That it's cresting.

00:16:48.000 You're starting to see that crest of a wave, but it hasn't actually yet crashed.

00:16:54.000 And that's where you want to be because we're still about a week, week and a half out from the actual election day.

00:16:59.000 It's a really good position to be in.

00:17:02.000 That's why the Elon Musk thing happening yesterday with Twitter obviously remains to be seen whether or not he's able to actually, as one man, right, be able to change the entire culture over there.

00:17:14.000 I like what I'm seeing so far.

00:17:16.000 We did, we did, I happened to be on Tim Pool last night live while the news came in.

00:17:20.000 So we had a big celebration.

00:17:22.000 And I think that in general, as a movement, we should celebrate our victories and take time to do that because you have to understand that restoring free speech to the public square.

00:17:33.000 I'm not going to say it's more important than an election, but it's almost beyond all of those things because what it does is it gives us the ability to fight on an equal playing field in every election in every context.

00:17:43.000 I didn't say it's more important than the election.

00:17:45.000 I did say, though, that if you were to say, Charlie, if we win the House, if that's a given, would you rather have a liberation of Twitter or a Republican Senate?

00:17:52.000 I said, I'd rather have a liberation of Twitter.

00:17:54.000 I said, if it was a binary choice.

00:17:56.000 If the House is in Republicans, because it was, Charlie, would you rather have the House or Twitter?

00:18:01.000 I said, we have to have some chamber.

00:18:03.000 We can't have no control. 0.98

00:18:04.000 This uniparty crap in D.C. has got to end, right? 0.96

00:18:07.000 You've got to have at least some check-in balance. 0.99

00:18:09.000 And so we're seeing this with the massive freak out from the media.

00:18:14.000 Let's play cut 133 of Oliver Darcy.

00:18:16.000 I want your reaction, Jack.

00:18:19.000 There is a lot of uncertainty, I think, over at Twitter.

00:18:21.000 Employees aren't really sure what to expect after Musk came in, took control of the company, and fired the top executives.

00:18:27.000 I think it's important to point out that, you know, Musk's ownership of Twitter, this deal comes at a really pivotal time for free speech in America.

00:18:37.000 You know, there's been a lot of tension between balancing the desire for free speech with also the reality that you don't want misinformation, you don't want hate speech to be spread on your platform.

00:18:48.000 And so loosening those platform rules, I'm not sure what that's going to do.

00:18:53.000 The bird is freed.

00:18:54.000 I mean, it's kind of interesting.

00:18:56.000 So Oliver Darcy, right, this is the guy who sort of, he was Brian Stelter's deputy on, you know, Brian Stelberg called the Reliable Sources, right?

00:19:06.000 So he was the deputy.

00:19:07.000 Now he's sort of the Brian Stelter fill-in who isn't anywhere near even as interesting as Brian Stelter was.

00:19:13.000 He's actually quite boring when you listen to him there. 0.94

00:19:15.000 And it's silly.

00:19:16.000 It's obviously very silly to talk about not knowing what Elon Musk was going to do, but he's been very obvious about it.

00:19:21.000 He's given interviews.

00:19:22.000 He's given speeches.

00:19:23.000 He's given talks.

00:19:23.000 He gave a town hall.

00:19:24.000 And more importantly, he gave opportunities time and time again for Twitter to change.

00:19:29.000 I want to go back, though, to three years ago, 2019, the Joe Rogan program, when Vijaya and Jack Dorsey won their tape.

00:19:38.000 Keep going.

00:19:39.000 If you have this tape, the way that so when Tim goes to her and simply asks basic questions about the enforcement mechanisms, basic questions about the balance of enforcement, is someone being banned versus someone being striked, et cetera.

00:19:55.000 The tone in which she responds like a school marm.

00:19:59.000 I know better than you.

00:20:01.000 It's like when I'm with my toddlers, right?

00:20:03.000 You know, you're going to go on timeout because you hit your brother, or you're going to go sit down because you threw a toy, whatever, right?

00:20:09.000 There's no respect at all for the users of the platform.

00:20:13.000 There's no respect for the customer.

00:20:15.000 There's no respect for the power, the vast power that Twitter simply has.

00:20:20.000 Whether we like it or not, it is the only social media platform right now that has soft power.

00:20:26.000 And her job, right?

00:20:28.000 She viewed her role as being the one who wields that power, not simply protecting it for humanity.

00:20:36.000 We don't have that exact exchange, but we have some essence of it with this Vagaya clown, Play Cut 142. 1.00

00:20:41.000 We have a lot of protected classes: gender, race, nationality.

00:20:44.000 Like these are the protected classes.

00:20:46.000 But it's not for white people. 0.82

00:20:48.000 When you say gender or race, mocks all protected categories.

00:20:53.000 So you can't attack someone for their belonging to a particular race or a particular religion. 0.70

00:20:57.000 But you can mock white people, ad nauseum. 0.51

00:21:00.000 It's not a problem.

00:21:01.000 It doesn't get, it doesn't get removed.

00:21:03.000 I'm not talking about mocking.

00:21:04.000 I'm talking about abusing and harassing somebody. 0.55

00:21:06.000 But I mean, if you mock a black person in the same way, it would be considered targeted racism. 0.99

00:21:12.000 Joe Rogan kind of putting her, and she's awful, man. 0.96

00:21:15.000 I mean, she's calling her. 0.99

00:21:16.000 And she's got a nasty person. 1.00

00:21:17.000 Who is she? 0.99

00:21:18.000 This was really one of the greatest exchanges that you saw ever on Joe Rogan, one of the greatest moments.

00:21:25.000 Specifically, I'm not sure if that's the one where Tim Poole was on, but there were a few where she and Jack Dorsey and it was a series of these basically.

00:21:32.000 And the idea was that you got the sense that every time she was questioned, you know, why was this specific person banned?

00:21:39.000 This person, and by the way, we know this continued on because for years after that, remember, this was a year before COVID, right?

00:21:45.000 So this idea that they were enforcing these policies in a balanced way and just creating an open playing field for it. 0.87

00:21:52.000 No, it's ridiculous. 0.96

00:21:53.000 She was lying through her teeth. 0.99

00:21:54.000 She lied through her teeth to Joe Rogan.

00:21:56.000 She lied through her teeth at Tim Poole.

00:21:57.000 And when he's asking her these basic questions, basic, simple questions of why do you treat different groups in different ways?

00:22:08.000 Why do you seem to have one set of rules for one, as you say, protected class of people, but not this other person under the exact same guidelines, depending on the color of their skin that you don't enforce?

00:22:21.000 Why did Twitter allow the mass hauling for attacks, chilling, in some cases, very brutal activity towards Nick Sandman, a kid who is 17 years old, a minor, a child?

00:22:35.000 There are tweets up probably to, I think one was deleted, but Twitter actually didn't take it down from blue-checked liberals talking about throwing him into the wood chipper.

00:22:44.000 Twitter took no action on those tweets whatsoever.

00:22:48.000 And her response was always, well, you know, we'll look into that.

00:22:53.000 Thanks so much for bringing that to our attention.

00:22:55.000 Thanks so much for bringing that for our attention again and again over and over.

00:22:58.000 And so when I say to Vijaya, who by the way, and this is the best part.

00:23:01.000 So I tweeted at her and I made like a MyPillow joke about it because, you know, it's me.

00:23:05.000 And what was amazing is her tweet.

00:23:08.000 I've never seen this happen on Twitter.

00:23:09.000 I've been on there way longer than I should have been.

00:23:12.000 She untagged herself from my tweet, Charlie.

00:23:15.000 I've never seen someone be able to use this ability.

00:23:18.000 It's an administrative ability that she must have.

00:23:20.000 She actually took my tag from my tweet of her and then delisted it, which is not something that you should be able to do that anyone's been able to do.

00:23:29.000 I'm looking at it because it's usually it would be blue if somebody's tagged, right?

00:23:33.000 Hers went completely black.

00:23:37.000 There's no way to click on it.

00:23:38.000 The spelling's right. 0.72

00:23:39.000 Everything's right.

00:23:40.000 She's been doing it to people, not just me, all night long.

00:23:43.000 I mean, she took it out of her bio.

00:23:44.000 So let me ask you.

00:23:45.000 And it's like, look, you make your bed.

00:23:47.000 Let me ask you, Jack.

00:23:48.000 So some people in our audience are very cynical.

00:23:50.000 They say nothing's going to change.

00:23:51.000 Elon isn't one of us.

00:23:52.000 This is a waste of time.

00:23:54.000 Are we seeing, I mean, in the only 12 or 24 hours we've been doing this so far, have we seen anything positive develop yet?

00:24:00.000 And should we be cynical or should we be hopeful, Jack?

00:24:03.000 Well, I think that we should, you know, we should always be hopeful, but at the same time, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

00:24:08.000 I still think there's a place for getter.

00:24:10.000 I still think there's a place for Telegram, for truth.

00:24:12.000 Keep those things, keep them open, because even if things are good now, that doesn't mean they'll be good in six months from now, a year from now, right?

00:24:18.000 You should always have insurance policies.

00:24:20.000 I like those other platforms.

00:24:22.000 I'm going to continue to use them.

00:24:23.000 I'm going to continue to maintain my accounts, Rumble, et cetera.

00:24:26.000 One of the biggest things that we've seen so far, Charlie, is this idea.

00:24:30.000 And Bloomberg had the story that Elon has talked about, number one, reversing all permanent bans.

00:24:35.000 I think that's exactly right.

00:24:36.000 I think there should be a general amnesty here.

00:24:38.000 And then number two, he's brought in the Tesla engineers to crack open the algorithm itself, crack open the code of Twitter and instituted a freeze on the code as of about 24 hours ago.

00:24:52.000 So there was nothing they could do to actually change the code because he wants to see exactly what he bought.

00:24:58.000 Because Charlie, let's look at this.

00:25:00.000 He might actually be facing liability here because if he finds things in that code that are not what we're told to advertisers, are not what we're told to the SEC during their deal.

00:25:09.000 Remember, he's still pretty mad at these guys.

00:25:11.000 They were in a lawsuit together.

00:25:13.000 If he finds things that they're liable for, he had to fire them, number one, so as to show that he made changes.

00:25:19.000 But then number two, we're going to, I mean, this is like Neo getting access to the Matrix for the first time, right?

00:25:25.000 He's actually poking around when he, you know, that scene where he meets the architect and he's able to see, you know, the code and all.

00:25:31.000 Now he's actually in there.

00:25:32.000 So the question is, what are we going to see?

00:25:33.000 For myself, I've seen, I've definitely seen my tweet scene be flying a little better.

00:25:39.000 It seems like the shadow ban's off.

00:25:42.000 Some people are getting their accounts back.

00:25:44.000 We are seeing some people.

00:25:44.000 We are seeing people.

00:25:46.000 It's piecemeal.

00:25:47.000 But what I would recommend to everybody, though, as a course of action.

00:25:50.000 So let's, you know, trust but verify, right?

00:25:53.000 If you had your Twitter account suspended ever, go in today and apply for reinstatement today.

00:26:00.000 I want everyone to mass go on here and then see if the process is followed properly.

00:26:06.000 If you're asked, why did you get to spend it, whether it was, you know, if you're not committing like illegal activity, you know, posting, you know, photos of children or, you know, bank vault passwords or whatever it is, you know, go in and see if you can get your account reinstated.

00:26:21.000 I think if we have a mass movement of people doing that today, then it will really break the back of this entire thing.

00:26:27.000 And Elon, I think we've already seen this in his text messages, by the way, that came out in the lawsuit, that he's basically said, look, I don't believe in lifetime bans.

00:26:35.000 I think this should come up.

00:26:36.000 Donald Trump, by the way, remember, his ban from Facebook was only a two-year ban.

00:26:40.000 That's actually coming up in just a couple of weeks.

00:26:42.000 Let's play that piece of tape that you mentioned.

00:26:45.000 Let's play cut 150.

00:26:47.000 And I believe that to be the case.

00:26:49.000 So your platform restricts speech.

00:26:52.000 Our platform promotes speech unless people violate our rules.

00:26:56.000 And in a specific direction.

00:26:58.000 In any direction.

00:26:59.000 But Uncle, I don't want to say his name.

00:27:01.000 The guy who calls for death gets a suspension.

00:27:03.000 The guy who insinuates death gets a permanent ban.

00:27:05.000 But Tim, you're misinterpreting what I'm saying.

00:27:08.000 And I feel like you're doing it deliberately.

00:27:09.000 It's not about one particular thing.

00:27:11.000 It's about a pattern and practice of violation.

00:27:13.000 And you have a pattern and practice of banning only one faction of people.

00:27:16.000 Quillette recently published an article where they looked at 22 high-profile bannings from 2015 and found 21 of them were only on one side of the cultural debate.

00:27:24.000 But I don't look at the political spectrum of people when I'm looking at their tweets.

00:27:27.000 Right, you have a bias.

00:27:28.000 I don't know who they are.

00:27:29.000 You're biased and you're targeting specific individuals because your rules support this perspective.

00:27:34.000 Amazing.

00:27:35.000 Everybody has to go back and watch that.

00:27:36.000 Look, Vajaya, Tim tried to help you.

00:27:38.000 He tried to help you.

00:27:39.000 He didn't listen.

00:27:40.000 Elon doing this is so incredible.

00:27:42.000 $44 billion, everybody.

00:27:44.000 That's a massive deal.

00:27:45.000 I just, I can't tell you.

00:27:47.000 It's just, this is, this is the great.

00:27:49.000 I made an argument, Jack.

00:27:50.000 It's the single most, it's the biggest, I think, and most significant purchase of our generation, if not in American history.

00:27:58.000 I think it is the Louisiana purchase of our time.

00:28:00.000 It is.

00:28:00.000 Wow.

00:28:01.000 I think that it's going to go down in history as the Louisiana purchase equivalent.

00:28:04.000 I mean, and people might mock that.

00:28:06.000 Show me something close.

00:28:07.000 I mean, the purchase of Alaska, that's true.

00:28:09.000 That's big.

00:28:09.000 But these are governments doing this stuff.

00:28:11.000 This is a private actor.

00:28:13.000 Have you, and I just, anyone could challenge me.

00:28:15.000 You might think that's exaggerated.

00:28:17.000 Has there ever been a private purchase of anything in American history of this magnitude?

00:28:21.000 Seriously.

00:28:22.000 I'm curious.

00:28:23.000 Let me know.

00:28:23.000 Jack, one minute.

00:28:24.000 I want to talk about AmFest.

00:28:26.000 Tell us about AmericaFest, AMFest.com.

00:28:28.000 It's going to be amazing.

00:28:29.000 Well, we were just, you know, we were just playing those clips of Tim Poole, and the huge announcement, obviously, is that Tim Poole is going to be at AmericaFest.

00:28:38.000 He's going to be there in full.

00:28:39.000 And I believe, if I remember correctly, he's actually going to be doing his show from AmericaFest from Phoenix that entire week, the Timcast IRL show.

00:28:48.000 So I'm sure you'll be on Charlie.

00:28:49.000 I'll be on the whole cast of characters from Turning Point and everything is going to be there.

00:28:52.000 So it's really going to be the center of conservative, this entire movement, the new right.

00:28:57.000 Tucker's going to be there, myself, Candice, Kaylee Mack.

00:29:03.000 Certain names that haven't been announced yet, shall we say?

00:29:05.000 Some big, big names coming up.

00:29:07.000 Tim Poole will be there too, though.

00:29:08.000 He is announced.

00:29:08.000 Yeah, Tim's the big one.

00:29:09.000 Tim's the big one.

00:29:10.000 Yeah, it's going to be really great.

00:29:11.000 We expect a record crowd.

00:29:12.000 Anybody around the country can come.

00:29:14.000 It is amfest.com, AmFest, December 17, 18, 19, 20 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

00:29:23.000 And the tickets are very, I think, correctly priced and moderately priced.

00:29:27.000 And the proceeds go to Turning Point USA.

00:29:30.000 So it's a great way to support two things at once.

00:29:31.000 It's going to be a show like you wouldn't believe.

00:29:33.000 Amfest.com.

00:29:35.000 Jack, I want you to respond to this.

00:29:37.000 MSNBC says, Elon Musk is a bond villain.

00:29:39.000 Play cut 138. 1.00

00:29:41.000 I think he's a jerk. 1.00

00:29:43.000 I think that he's cavalier. 1.00

00:29:44.000 I think there's something dangerous when the richest guy in the world controls one of the most important political social platforms in the world.

00:29:52.000 I just think there's something very dangerous about him.

00:29:54.000 He reminds me of a bond villain.

00:29:55.000 As I said, when the richest guy in the world buys a social media platform, it's just not a good equation.

00:30:00.000 I think he's a dangerous fellow.

00:30:02.000 Okay, Jack.

00:30:03.000 Show me one person saying that about the Washington Post.

00:30:06.000 Show me one of these people anywhere saying this about the Washington Post ever when Jeff Bezos bought it.

00:30:12.000 That's all I asked for.

00:30:13.000 When Jeff Bezos, when he has his connections, by the way, bad day.

00:30:16.000 Took a bath yesterday in the stock market, Amazon.

00:30:19.000 Oof.

00:30:20.000 I'm not sure who lost more, whether it was Zuck or Bezos, but he's got connections to the Pentagon, connections to the CIA, then buys the Washington Post, and nobody has a problem with it whatsoever.

00:30:31.000 Meanwhile, Twitter already was this public entity, obviously a public company, not a part of the government.

00:30:39.000 But suddenly, suddenly the arguments of, oh, it's just a private entity.

00:30:43.000 It could do it at once.

00:30:44.000 Suddenly all that goes away, flies out of the mouths of the very same people that have been saying all along Twitter can do it at once, Twitter can suspend whoever they want.

00:30:53.000 Whereas I think a lot of us, whether we be Elon Musk or not, and Charlie, you and I have talked before about this sort of awakening of Generation X.

00:31:01.000 And I think that's what, you know, we talked about Rogan just now.

00:31:04.000 We're talking about Elon, this, this idea that a lot of Gen Xers are now getting into the game.

00:31:09.000 And Elon's obviously the biggest example of that because they're sick of the rules of the road being changed.

00:31:15.000 They can feel the ground shifting under their feet because of woke millennials that are coming to politics and coming to society like crusaders and just smashing everything that's in its place.

00:31:25.000 They don't want that.

00:31:26.000 And so obviously, Elon, he's not a conservative and people need to stop thinking about that.

00:31:32.000 That being said, if he wants to come to America Fest, you know, I'm sure we could probably work that out because I'd love to have a discussion with him on where he wants to write the ship.

00:31:41.000 I think he said before something like the one we always play on human events is that he said, for me, right looks like the most extreme 10% on the left and the most extreme 10% on the right both being mad at me.

00:31:51.000 And just so nobody, we're not going to make everyone happy, but what we're going to do is balance out the anger.

00:31:55.000 I think that's right.

00:31:56.000 I like that.

00:31:57.000 So I want to get to some breaking news.

00:31:58.000 Paul Pelosi is undergoing brain surgery, which we hope goes well.

00:32:03.000 And they're already blaming MAGA supporters.

00:32:05.000 What we know about the attacker seems to be some sort of a nudist protester.

00:32:10.000 Again, I said this whole thing is very suspicious.

00:32:12.000 There's something here that doesn't make sense.

00:32:14.000 Where was the security in front of the house?

00:32:17.000 I don't understand how the speaker of the house doesn't have better security than that.

00:32:21.000 Yeah, I don't, I mean, what are your thoughts here?

00:32:25.000 It seems like this is the, it seems like the perpetrator is like this brain-fried Bay Area hippie who's a total nutcase, yet they're trying to blame this on MAGA.

00:32:33.000 And then yesterday, two days ago, there was a break-in at Katie Hobbs place.

00:32:38.000 We're 12 days out from an election.

00:32:40.000 Am I wrong to just kind of be like, what's going on here?

00:32:45.000 Well, I think it's horrific, obviously.

00:32:46.000 And any type of violence is disgusting.

00:32:49.000 And, you know, I would also point out to say, though, that if this was a burglary and a home invasion, is this guy going to be locked up?

00:32:57.000 Is this kind of guy going to be put right back out on the street?

00:32:59.000 Actually, that's what happened to so many other people with this cashless bail, bail reform system in places like San Francisco and L.A. and Philadelphia and Detroit.

00:33:09.000 And so I don't want that.

00:33:11.000 And so hopefully this would just be a situation where people can all look at this and say, okay, this is horrific.

00:33:17.000 This is awful.

00:33:18.000 But we need to treat the situation better, regardless of who the victim is.

00:33:23.000 Whether the victim is someone who's a member of the powerful elite or the victim is just a mom or a dad that just got home from work and is trying to take care of their kids.

00:33:31.000 The system should always lock up violent psychopaths and shouldn't let them back on the street, period.

00:33:38.000 Yeah, there's just something not right about the whole thing, I got to tell you.

00:33:42.000 All right, Jack, thank you so much for joining us.
