The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Steven Crowder & Terrence Williams ｜ 6⧸6⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters. Today is a great show. A lot of it had to do with Steven Crowder and freedom of speech.

00:00:06.040 There's a lot of people, more than Steven Crowder, that were banned yesterday, and YouTube changed their policy.

00:00:13.400 And they say that they are going to go to more authoritative platforms.

00:00:20.120 So, in other words, platforms like The Blaze or Glenn Beck or Steven Crowder,

00:00:25.100 no, we're not going to be pushed at all by YouTube.

00:00:30.680 They're going to go to more authoritative, meaning the New York Times, NBC, ABC, CNN.

00:00:37.720 This is the beginning of the end of freedom of speech.

00:00:42.060 We talk an awful lot about that. Steven Crowder is in rare form.

00:00:44.980 Also, Terrence Williams is on. He's a guy who was banned from Facebook

00:00:49.080 because he posted the threats that he was getting online.

00:00:55.320 So, they were threatening him online through Facebook, and he posted them, and Facebook banned him.

00:01:05.380 He's really, really funny. You don't want to miss it.

00:01:09.660 Also, my Miley Cyrus moment.

00:01:12.840 Yeah, it's that creepy.

00:01:13.960 Yeah, you can actually get that.

00:01:16.820 And we should point out, when we're talking about Steven,

00:02:05.160 All right, here it is.

00:02:11.000 For about 15 years, I have said a time is going to come.

00:02:27.720 And I stood in our newsroom and our social media room yesterday,

00:02:34.240 listening to the conversations and the news as it was coming in

00:02:42.400 about what was happening.

00:02:44.600 And I stood there and I thought,

00:02:47.220 I knew this was coming,

00:02:50.360 but I guess there was a part of me that just so hoped that I was wrong

00:02:57.220 that I thought it would maybe never come.

00:03:00.380 But it has.

00:03:02.200 And it has everyone on the right

00:03:07.220 who is a voice that you trust,

00:03:10.420 deeply, deeply concerned.

00:03:14.220 In some circles, panicked.

00:03:16.860 I'm not panicked.

00:03:20.320 But I am deeply concerned.

00:03:23.500 Here it comes.

00:03:25.240 And I will explain the loss of voices that you trust

00:03:30.200 and reflect your point of view.

00:03:33.200 This is a critical day in the Republic's history.

00:03:39.660 We address it in one minute.

00:03:42.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:46.860 It is time to wake up, America.

00:03:50.500 It is time to wake up.

00:03:52.560 It was 24 hours ago that I said congratulations to Stephen Crowder

00:03:59.420 because Stephen Crowder had been in a fight with Carlos Maza.

00:04:09.700 He goes, his Twitter handle is Gay Wonk.

00:04:13.040 And he is a guy who, you know, talks about political things.

00:04:19.680 And he is, you know, he produces these videos.

00:04:23.000 And he's like, hey, I'm the queen of New York

00:04:25.980 and I'm the gay wonk and blah, blah, blah.

00:04:28.580 And he says things like this.

00:04:31.800 This is a quote from his Twitter feed.

00:04:34.740 Get back to me when you're ready to personally assassinate people

00:04:39.100 I find annoying on Twitter.

00:04:41.520 Then we'll talk.

00:04:44.880 Personally assassinate people on Twitter.

00:04:48.700 So what is he saying?

00:04:51.060 We just have to kill you online.

00:04:56.240 Now this is part of, I just realized another quote,

00:04:59.500 I just realized how to learn, how I learned to subtweet

00:05:02.920 by watching my mom talk crap about white people

00:05:05.940 right in front of them in Spanish.

00:05:08.780 He talks about milkshaking people, throwing milkshakes at them,

00:05:13.380 humiliate them at every turn, make them dread public organizing.

00:05:18.480 He talks about the panic of violent antifa,

00:05:23.920 shows how media coverage on the right fixates on violence

00:05:27.880 to demonize legitimate protest movements.

00:05:31.940 This guy is so far off the rails.

00:05:37.400 Well, Steven Crowder has been taking him on and winning.

00:05:41.540 And winning.

00:05:42.920 Steven Crowder is very, very smart.

00:05:45.740 He is, he is a comedian.

00:05:50.360 And comedy is the most dangerous thing you can do.

00:05:56.460 So 24 hours ago, I told you that he,

00:06:00.800 Mazza had issued a complaint with YouTube.

00:06:05.280 And YouTube, he got a response right away.

00:06:08.720 And they said, we are going to investigate that Steven Crowder.

00:06:11.140 And so they decided to investigate him.

00:06:14.920 And they found that he had done absolutely nothing wrong.

00:06:19.680 He hadn't violated the community guidelines.

00:06:23.860 Now listen to this.

00:06:25.800 Even if creators contents doesn't violate our community guidelines,

00:06:30.800 we will take a look at the broader context and impact.

00:06:35.560 If their behavior is egregious and harms the broader community,

00:06:40.020 we may take action.

00:06:43.120 In the case of Crowder's channel,

00:06:45.520 a thorough review over the weekend found that individually,

00:06:49.120 the flagged videos did not violate our community guidelines.

00:06:53.500 Now, I know this to be true because Steven Crowder goes out

00:06:57.920 and he is meeting with YouTube all the time.

00:07:00.980 He has 4 million followers and subscribers on YouTube.

00:07:05.860 4 million.

00:07:08.440 He goes out all the time to make sure we're going to follow these rules.

00:07:12.440 Tell me what the rules are.

00:07:14.380 So they just said,

00:07:16.160 we found that individually the flagged videos did not violate our community guidelines.

00:07:20.780 However, in the subsequent days,

00:07:24.700 we saw the widespread harm to the YouTube community

00:07:29.100 resulting from the ongoing pattern of egregious behavior.

00:07:34.060 It forced us to take a deeper look

00:07:36.280 and we made the decision to suspend monetization.

00:07:40.180 In order to be considered free in statement,

00:07:43.060 all relevant issues with the channel need to be addressed,

00:07:45.640 including any videos that violate our policies,

00:07:48.000 as well as things like offensive merchandise.

00:07:51.180 Now, wait a minute.

00:07:51.640 You just said none of the videos violated community guidelines.

00:07:59.420 But he has to address any videos that violate policies?

00:08:04.960 You, wait, what?

00:08:09.280 So, now what they're doing

00:08:13.140 is they said after the past few years,

00:08:17.280 we've been investing in the policies, resources, and products

00:08:21.740 needed to live up to our responsibility

00:08:24.000 and protect the YouTube community from harmful content.

00:08:30.060 This work is focused on four pillars.

00:08:32.740 Removing

00:08:33.180 volatile content,

00:08:37.140 raising up authoritative content,

00:08:40.140 reducing the spread of borderline content,

00:08:45.020 and rewarding trusted creators.

00:08:48.380 Thanks to these investments,

00:08:50.040 videos that violate our policies

00:08:51.740 are removed faster than ever

00:08:53.400 and users are seeing less borderline content

00:08:56.580 and harmful misinformation.

00:08:59.060 As we do this,

00:09:00.200 we're partnering closely,

00:09:02.420 closely with trusted sources.

00:09:05.940 Okay.

00:09:13.640 So, here's what happened.

00:09:15.880 Yesterday morning,

00:09:18.080 I told you,

00:09:19.240 congratulations, Stephen Crowder.

00:09:21.080 It was a good day for freedom.

00:09:23.460 Turns out,

00:09:24.440 yesterday was a very dark day for freedom

00:09:26.260 because YouTube then came out

00:09:28.700 four o'clock

00:09:29.380 and demonetized him.

00:09:31.320 What that means is,

00:09:32.800 hey, please,

00:09:34.020 you can continue to create content for us.

00:09:37.620 We're just not going to allow you

00:09:39.740 to make any money for that.

00:09:42.100 Okay.

00:09:42.560 Stephen Crowder,

00:09:43.480 he's got enough money.

00:09:44.520 He's like me.

00:09:45.360 He's like me.

00:09:46.160 I've not made a dime from YouTube.

00:09:48.180 We've never focused on YouTube

00:09:50.460 because we always thought this was coming.

00:09:54.340 We recently have started to build a YouTube page,

00:09:58.180 but everything we do is just not monetized

00:10:01.920 and, quite honestly,

00:10:03.620 Stu,

00:10:04.300 tell me about your YouTube feed

00:10:05.800 that you noticed yesterday

00:10:07.100 because I'm Glenn Beck

00:10:09.120 and you would think Glenn Beck

00:10:11.620 might show up in an algorithm.

00:10:14.020 I watch a video of mine

00:10:15.660 and it never comes up

00:10:17.780 as a suggested next video.

00:10:22.040 You don't do well in the algorithm.

00:10:23.460 Right.

00:10:23.720 I mean,

00:10:24.000 considering the amount of,

00:10:26.100 I mean,

00:10:26.340 we all know that Google

00:10:27.400 is monitoring your emails

00:10:29.960 and everything else.

00:10:31.280 And this is what,

00:10:32.060 you know,

00:10:32.380 in the best sense,

00:10:33.740 right,

00:10:33.920 like they are seeing the things

00:10:34.880 you're interested in

00:10:35.900 and then are,

00:10:36.440 or the things you search for

00:10:37.880 and then are able

00:10:38.580 to make recommendations

00:10:40.600 on the best videos

00:10:41.360 that would interest you.

00:10:42.220 Correct.

00:10:42.720 Well,

00:10:42.920 I do a lot of email

00:10:44.760 and searching,

00:10:45.440 unfortunately,

00:10:46.460 for Glenn Beck

00:10:47.180 because it's my job.

00:10:48.560 And the Blaze.

00:10:48.880 And the Blaze.

00:10:49.780 And they,

00:10:50.720 man,

00:10:50.980 they just never can find a way

00:10:52.200 to recommend me a video.

00:10:53.700 I can find videos

00:10:54.640 of Andrew Heaton

00:10:55.380 doing things for a reason,

00:10:57.500 but they never recommended

00:10:58.940 anything that he's done

00:11:00.040 for the Blaze.

00:11:01.000 They never do anything,

00:11:01.940 anybody on the Blaze.

00:11:03.460 Nope.

00:11:04.080 Really,

00:11:04.620 I never see any of them pop up.

00:11:06.580 So,

00:11:06.940 yesterday,

00:11:07.800 they demonetized.

00:11:09.680 We're using YouTube

00:11:10.920 as a funnel,

00:11:12.760 a way to get people

00:11:13.940 who,

00:11:14.800 you know,

00:11:15.000 the world is on YouTube.

00:11:16.400 Okay,

00:11:16.700 so we better be on YouTube

00:11:18.100 and I don't care

00:11:18.900 if they pay me,

00:11:20.100 but I use it

00:11:20.920 as an advertising place

00:11:22.480 to where they can see

00:11:23.800 a bit of it

00:11:24.280 and go,

00:11:24.500 oh wow,

00:11:24.920 I like that.

00:11:25.940 Maybe I should subscribe

00:11:27.060 to the Blaze.

00:11:28.440 Well,

00:11:28.900 that's the way

00:11:29.860 Steven Crowder uses it.

00:11:32.940 He goes where the crowd is

00:11:34.720 and he should.

00:11:37.180 So,

00:11:37.720 they demonetized him.

00:11:39.440 But then what happened?

00:11:41.240 Within 10 minutes

00:11:42.220 of him being demonetized,

00:11:43.720 the Shopify,

00:11:45.500 which is the group

00:11:47.460 that sells

00:11:48.160 all of his merchandise,

00:11:50.700 decides they're not going

00:11:52.780 to be involved

00:11:53.840 involved with a hate monger

00:11:54.940 at all.

00:11:57.000 And so,

00:11:57.860 they're not selling

00:11:58.660 any of his product.

00:12:02.300 That's incredible.

00:12:03.700 So,

00:12:04.040 yesterday,

00:12:04.960 a guy who they said

00:12:06.240 did not violate

00:12:07.040 any of the guidelines,

00:12:08.460 was demonetized,

00:12:09.940 and

00:12:10.460 they stopped selling

00:12:12.520 all of his merchandise,

00:12:14.980 another separate company.

00:12:16.320 Then,

00:12:18.240 yesterday,

00:12:19.540 lots of things

00:12:22.720 happened yesterday.

00:12:23.500 Some of them

00:12:23.880 I can't talk about

00:12:24.700 yet.

00:12:26.660 Then,

00:12:27.380 yesterday evening,

00:12:29.280 the Blaze

00:12:29.940 tried to post

00:12:31.840 something

00:12:32.560 about Steven Crowder

00:12:34.000 and we were blocked

00:12:36.340 by Facebook.

00:12:37.820 It says,

00:12:41.460 you're temporarily

00:12:42.220 restricted

00:12:43.120 from resharing

00:12:44.340 posts

00:12:45.060 until Saturday

00:12:46.200 at 7.15pm.

00:12:48.300 If you think

00:12:49.200 this doesn't go

00:12:50.020 against our community

00:12:50.860 standards,

00:12:51.680 let us know.

00:12:53.200 Here's what we posted.

00:12:55.900 They can never

00:12:56.560 take away

00:12:57.300 mug club.

00:12:58.900 YouTube

00:12:59.320 can demonetize us,

00:13:01.220 Vox

00:13:01.500 can try to

00:13:02.060 deplatform us,

00:13:03.020 but they can never,

00:13:04.160 ever take away

00:13:05.080 mug club

00:13:05.840 from us.

00:13:06.420 This is the show

00:13:07.680 you built.

00:13:08.600 That was from

00:13:09.380 Steven Crowder

00:13:10.180 and we wanted

00:13:10.940 to retweet it

00:13:11.860 on Facebook,

00:13:13.080 not YouTube.

00:13:14.640 And now,

00:13:15.340 the Blaze

00:13:15.880 has been

00:13:17.180 blocked

00:13:18.720 from passing

00:13:20.380 anything on

00:13:21.760 about Steven Crowder.

00:13:23.420 Oh,

00:13:24.000 and one last thing.

00:13:26.520 Somebody else

00:13:27.180 was blocked

00:13:27.820 yesterday.

00:13:29.840 Lila Rose.

00:13:31.480 Now,

00:13:32.080 Lila Rose

00:13:33.200 runs live action.

00:13:34.960 Lila Rose

00:13:37.260 Twitter

00:13:38.460 banned live action

00:13:40.440 and her account

00:13:41.620 from all ads.

00:13:42.920 Demonetize.

00:13:44.060 When we asked

00:13:44.980 Twitter why,

00:13:46.120 they said we could

00:13:47.020 resume ads

00:13:47.960 only

00:13:48.740 if we deleted

00:13:50.220 the following content

00:13:51.460 from their

00:13:52.360 Twitter

00:13:52.880 and website.

00:13:55.920 So,

00:13:56.500 their Twitter feed

00:13:57.520 and their website.

00:13:58.960 all they would

00:14:01.620 have to do

00:14:02.180 is just remove

00:14:04.580 anything about

00:14:05.520 abortion procedures

00:14:06.680 from their website.

00:14:08.840 This is an

00:14:09.840 anti-abortion website.

00:14:11.400 It's going to be tough.

00:14:12.100 Anything about

00:14:12.760 abortion procedures,

00:14:14.320 anything about

00:14:14.960 investigations of

00:14:15.880 Planned Parenthood,

00:14:17.300 and all

00:14:18.320 ultrasound

00:14:19.340 images.

00:14:21.920 I mean,

00:14:22.100 like 75%

00:14:23.020 of social networks

00:14:24.080 are people sharing

00:14:24.780 their ultrasound

00:14:25.340 pictures,

00:14:26.740 and now

00:14:27.680 they have to

00:14:28.260 do it

00:14:28.440 because they

00:14:28.940 want to

00:16:02.120 Leon Wolf

00:16:02.920 from the

00:16:03.500 Blaze.

00:16:04.760 Leon,

00:16:05.560 I actually

00:16:07.060 am

00:16:07.720 nervous

00:16:09.300 today.

00:16:11.000 Am I

00:16:11.560 right to

00:16:12.560 feel this

00:16:13.060 way?

00:16:15.140 Yeah,

00:16:15.840 I'm nervous.

00:16:16.680 I'm more,

00:16:17.480 I guess,

00:16:17.900 on the

00:16:18.220 angry side

00:16:18.880 than the

00:16:19.800 nervous side,

00:16:20.620 but,

00:16:20.940 you know,

00:16:21.340 both would

00:16:23.200 be appropriate

00:16:24.240 emotions to

00:16:25.000 have at this

00:16:26.060 point,

00:16:26.420 I think.

00:16:27.320 So tell me

00:16:27.860 what happened

00:16:28.340 yesterday with

00:16:29.120 Facebook.

00:16:30.680 Okay,

00:16:31.200 so I want

00:16:31.700 to be clear

00:16:32.340 here because

00:16:32.780 this is

00:16:33.280 literally

00:16:34.200 unfolding as

00:16:35.060 we speak,

00:16:35.840 and I'm

00:16:36.580 not 100%

00:16:37.280 sure what

00:16:38.540 the effect

00:16:39.020 of it is

00:16:39.440 going to

00:16:39.760 be.

00:16:40.360 We got

00:16:40.800 a notification

00:16:41.320 last night

00:16:42.380 that we

00:16:43.400 would not

00:16:43.760 be allowed

00:16:44.340 to post

00:16:45.100 or share

00:16:45.920 items on

00:16:46.900 our own

00:16:47.660 Facebook

00:16:48.040 page until

00:16:49.740 Saturday at

00:16:50.780 7.15pm

00:16:51.820 because we

00:16:53.180 are being

00:16:53.480 timed out

00:16:53.960 by Facebook.

00:16:55.120 I just

00:16:56.380 found out,

00:16:57.760 we just

00:16:58.220 attempted to

00:16:58.860 put an

00:16:59.660 article on

00:17:00.120 the Facebook

00:17:00.460 page and

00:17:01.160 it worked.

00:17:01.680 So maybe

00:17:02.260 they have

00:17:03.000 considered that

00:17:04.120 they were

00:17:04.400 in error

00:17:04.840 and undone

00:17:05.580 it.

00:17:05.880 I really

00:17:06.580 don't know.

00:17:07.320 But we've

00:17:07.640 got this

00:17:07.960 notification

00:17:08.400 that says

00:17:08.680 you guys

00:17:09.040 can't use

00:17:09.460 your Facebook

00:17:09.860 page anymore

00:17:11.280 until Saturday.

00:17:12.640 And the

00:17:12.960 basis for

00:17:13.440 that was

00:17:13.940 they says

00:17:14.500 we feel

00:17:15.500 that you

00:17:15.880 have

00:17:16.340 shared

00:17:17.180 clickbait

00:17:17.660 on your

00:17:18.020 page.

00:17:18.600 And Glenn,

00:17:19.300 I have

00:17:19.720 put,

00:17:20.400 it's up

00:17:21.120 on the

00:17:21.580 blaze

00:17:21.980 right now.

00:17:23.180 It's the

00:17:23.880 top article

00:17:24.660 when you

00:17:25.060 click on

00:17:25.440 the page.

00:17:25.960 It's the

00:17:26.200 one about

00:17:26.600 the special

00:17:27.080 needs,

00:17:27.480 mother of

00:17:27.920 a special

00:17:28.220 needs

00:17:28.500 girl sends 0.55

00:17:31.220 her kid

00:17:31.500 to school

00:17:31.820 with a

00:17:32.080 recorder.

00:17:32.840 That is

00:17:33.300 the post

00:17:33.680 they flagged

00:17:34.260 that they

00:17:34.520 said was

00:17:34.980 allegedly

00:17:35.360 clickbait.

00:17:36.180 I want

00:17:36.660 your listeners

00:17:37.040 to go

00:17:37.640 look,

00:17:38.960 click on

00:17:39.420 the story,

00:17:40.240 and you

00:17:40.740 tell me if

00:17:41.320 that's

00:17:41.520 clickbait or

00:17:41.980 not.

00:17:42.320 I thought

00:17:42.640 it was

00:17:42.880 Stephen

00:17:43.240 Crowder

00:17:43.560 that we

00:17:43.780 shared

00:17:44.160 something

00:17:44.460 from

00:17:44.780 Stephen

00:17:45.200 Crowder's

00:17:45.780 story.

00:17:46.300 This

00:17:46.440 was a

00:17:46.800 separate.

00:17:47.620 No,

00:17:48.120 this is

00:17:48.460 a completely

00:17:48.940 different

00:17:49.240 thing.

00:17:49.900 This story

00:17:50.640 is a

00:17:51.600 completely

00:17:52.020 legitimate

00:17:52.500 story.

00:17:53.120 This woman

00:17:53.560 sent her

00:17:54.400 special needs

00:17:55.180 daughter to

00:17:56.000 school with

00:17:56.560 a tape

00:17:56.900 recorder because

00:17:57.500 her daughter

00:17:57.880 was saying

00:17:58.420 I heard

00:17:59.180 it being

00:17:59.620 mean to

00:18:00.100 me.

00:18:00.660 Right.

00:18:01.020 And it

00:18:01.820 caught them

00:18:02.320 on tape

00:18:02.840 saying all

00:18:03.420 sorts of

00:18:03.840 insane

00:18:04.180 stuff like

00:18:04.600 I'm going

00:18:04.800 to punch

00:18:05.080 you in

00:18:05.300 the face.

00:18:05.860 Like it's

00:18:06.620 a horrifying

00:18:07.080 story.

00:18:07.620 It's a

00:18:07.940 legitimately

00:18:08.480 horrifying

00:18:09.220 story.

00:18:09.760 The other

00:18:10.860 thing they

00:18:11.220 flagged was

00:18:12.180 a video

00:18:12.600 we shared

00:18:13.240 from Will

00:18:13.820 Witt.

00:18:14.880 I don't

00:18:16.100 care what

00:18:16.520 you think

00:18:16.860 about Will

00:18:17.340 Witt but

00:18:17.680 his videos

00:18:18.200 are not

00:18:18.600 clickbait.

00:18:19.680 He goes

00:18:20.320 and talks

00:18:20.860 to people.

00:18:21.620 I don't

00:18:21.960 even understand

00:18:22.520 how it

00:18:22.860 possibly could

00:18:23.500 be.

00:18:24.740 And what

00:18:25.120 was the

00:18:25.420 topic of

00:18:27.180 that?

00:18:28.320 I'm not

00:18:28.980 entirely

00:18:29.320 sure.

00:18:29.680 All I

00:18:29.940 saw was

00:18:30.320 a screenshot

00:18:31.860 of it.

00:18:33.160 So I

00:18:33.600 don't have

00:18:34.220 that in

00:18:34.540 front of

00:18:34.780 me right

00:18:35.080 now.

00:18:35.800 It's

00:18:36.200 probably

00:18:36.520 something

00:18:37.020 along the

00:18:37.460 lines of

00:18:37.780 socialism or

00:18:38.620 something like

00:18:39.200 that.

00:18:39.460 He usually

00:18:39.960 goes to

00:18:40.380 campuses and

00:18:41.080 talks to

00:18:41.500 people and

00:18:42.880 exposes them

00:18:45.100 for being

00:18:45.700 ridiculously

00:18:46.780 uninformed.

00:18:50.040 This is the

00:18:50.400 second time

00:18:50.980 in the last

00:18:51.440 months that

00:18:51.920 we've had

00:18:52.320 to fight

00:18:53.520 Facebook over

00:18:54.220 something

00:18:54.500 ridiculous.

00:18:55.260 Our page

00:18:56.080 got deranked

00:18:57.400 about five

00:18:59.200 or six

00:18:59.500 weeks ago.

00:19:01.380 Of

00:19:01.540 Pointer?

00:19:03.300 No, it

00:19:04.060 wasn't

00:19:04.280 Pointer.

00:19:04.800 It was

00:19:04.980 Facebook has

00:19:05.560 hired these

00:19:06.120 third-party

00:19:06.700 people to

00:19:07.420 do this

00:19:08.300 alleged

00:19:08.640 fact-checking

00:19:09.400 that they're

00:19:09.760 supposed to

00:19:10.140 do.

00:19:10.380 Some of

00:19:10.720 them are

00:19:11.580 PolitiFact and

00:19:12.500 so on,

00:19:12.960 well-known

00:19:14.340 fact-checkers.

00:19:15.040 They lean

00:19:15.340 left, but

00:19:15.760 at least

00:19:16.020 they're

00:19:16.300 well-known.

00:19:17.140 We got

00:19:17.400 fact-checked

00:19:17.920 by some

00:19:18.240 guy I

00:19:18.520 literally

00:19:18.820 never heard

00:19:19.420 of.

00:19:21.120 He worked

00:19:22.100 for CNN

00:19:23.120 for 26

00:19:23.800 years for

00:19:25.100 Nancy Grace

00:19:25.740 of all

00:19:26.020 people, so

00:19:26.500 I guess he's

00:19:26.940 going to

00:19:27.200 fact-check

00:19:27.740 us.

00:19:30.020 He took

00:19:32.460 issue with

00:19:33.340 a story we

00:19:34.120 did about

00:19:34.600 textbooks in

00:19:35.740 Texas that

00:19:36.520 had some

00:19:37.500 stuff on

00:19:37.940 there that

00:19:38.360 really looked

00:19:39.200 like it

00:19:39.520 was anti-Trump.

00:19:43.160 The best of

00:19:44.100 the Glenn Beck

00:19:44.600 program.

00:19:48.720 Hey, it's

00:19:49.320 Glenn, and

00:19:49.880 you're listening

00:19:50.300 to the

00:20:00.800 a very

00:20:01.480 important day

00:20:02.460 for freedom

00:20:03.480 of speech,

00:20:04.160 and our

00:20:04.660 country seems

00:20:05.480 split, and

00:20:06.720 a lot of

00:20:07.580 America is

00:20:08.620 dead asleep.

00:20:10.460 Steven Crowder

00:20:11.340 has been a

00:20:12.980 guy who works

00:20:14.440 really, really

00:20:15.560 hard to, A,

00:20:16.820 present intelligent

00:20:18.080 information.

00:20:19.360 He is a

00:20:19.940 comedian, so it

00:20:20.860 is funny, and

00:20:21.680 he is really,

00:20:22.840 really funny.

00:20:24.020 That's why he

00:20:24.860 connects with so

00:20:25.760 many people.

00:20:26.740 He has an

00:20:27.220 audience of

00:20:27.780 four million

00:20:28.500 on YouTube

00:20:29.380 alone, and

00:20:31.400 he has spent

00:20:32.300 a lot of

00:20:33.020 time, he

00:20:33.840 and his

00:20:34.180 attorneys, with

00:20:35.680 YouTube in

00:20:36.620 their offices

00:20:37.260 asking them

00:20:38.320 exactly, what

00:20:39.540 are your

00:20:40.220 guidelines?

00:20:41.020 I don't want

00:20:41.400 to violate

00:20:41.760 your guidelines.

00:20:43.200 He's a guy

00:20:43.740 who pushes

00:20:44.400 the envelope,

00:20:46.160 but he also

00:20:46.980 is smart

00:20:48.280 enough to

00:20:48.920 know what

00:20:49.700 the rules

00:20:50.280 are and

00:20:50.900 play by the

00:20:51.600 rules.

00:20:52.280 Welcome to

00:20:52.900 the program,

00:20:53.560 Steven Crowder.

00:20:55.240 Thank you

00:20:55.800 for having me.

00:20:56.440 I really want

00:20:57.060 to get one of

00:20:57.380 those X

00:20:57.820 chairs, because

00:20:58.360 as you can

00:20:58.900 see, I just

00:20:59.300 got back from

00:20:59.780 the gym.

00:21:00.160 I'm a little

00:21:00.400 bit busy

00:21:00.740 today, and

00:21:01.180 this chair

00:21:01.620 sucks.

00:21:04.180 It's terrible.

00:21:04.960 I don't know

00:21:05.160 if you know,

00:21:05.440 this is like a

00:21:06.060 legendary design

00:21:06.980 chair.

00:21:07.280 You see it in

00:21:07.920 all these films.

00:21:08.640 I had one a

00:21:09.120 long time ago.

00:21:09.920 Those are awful.

00:21:11.140 Those are

00:21:11.580 awful.

00:21:13.200 Great.

00:21:13.600 Well, at least

00:21:13.980 we don't need

00:21:14.280 them as a

00:21:14.560 sponsor.

00:21:14.940 You guys have

00:21:15.200 X chair, but

00:21:15.680 send us a

00:21:16.160 couple.

00:21:16.440 I'll take

00:21:16.780 one.

00:21:17.040 I'll use

00:21:17.380 it.

00:21:17.760 All right.

00:21:18.140 So, Steven,

00:21:19.460 tell me what

00:21:20.560 yesterday was

00:21:21.200 like, because

00:21:21.620 yesterday morning,

00:21:22.560 I congratulated

00:21:23.740 you on being

00:21:25.560 cleared of an

00:21:28.360 on YouTube, and

00:21:30.820 by yesterday

00:21:31.380 afternoon, everything

00:21:32.560 was different.

00:21:34.620 Well, I wouldn't

00:21:35.220 say everything was

00:21:36.120 different, but

00:21:36.680 yes, it is very

00:21:37.920 confusing, and by

00:21:38.800 the way, that's by

00:21:39.240 design.

00:21:39.840 My attorney can't

00:21:41.600 get the rules

00:21:42.120 straight.

00:21:42.320 The only

00:21:42.520 information that

00:21:43.080 we've been given

00:21:43.560 from YouTube is

00:21:44.280 verifiably false

00:21:45.660 in the past.

00:21:46.980 So that's all we

00:21:47.800 know.

00:21:48.000 The info that

00:21:48.400 they've given us

00:21:48.840 is not correct, and

00:21:50.360 now they're releasing

00:21:50.860 info on Twitter to

00:21:51.800 the people who've

00:21:52.280 been streaming a

00:21:52.720 lot.

00:21:52.900 For people who

00:21:53.360 don't understand

00:21:53.820 the full context,

00:21:55.000 we've been doing

00:21:55.460 rebuttals for a

00:21:56.180 long time.

00:21:56.420 We have over a

00:21:56.920 thousand videos, and

00:21:57.720 I think ten of

00:21:58.340 them were rebuttals

00:21:59.000 to Vox.

00:21:59.680 You know, Vox has

00:22:00.220 had videos where

00:22:00.820 they've outright

00:22:01.300 pushed for an

00:22:01.940 Australian gun

00:22:02.820 ban, right?

00:22:03.520 Where they've

00:22:04.100 pushed for actual

00:22:06.280 socialism, where

00:22:07.340 they've pushed for

00:22:07.860 universal income.

00:22:08.760 So we've rebutted

00:22:10.100 them many times, and

00:22:11.360 there happens to be

00:22:12.320 a host who is a

00:22:13.840 gay gentleman of 0.78

00:22:14.920 Latino origin, and

00:22:16.020 these are considered

00:22:16.560 epithets, by the

00:22:17.360 way, terms like gay,

00:22:18.360 queer, and by the

00:22:18.960 way, hear this,

00:22:19.880 Mexican.

00:22:20.640 So they got really

00:22:21.480 upset.

00:22:21.820 You can't say

00:22:22.340 Mexican now. 0.79

00:22:23.080 This was listed in a

00:22:23.800 Vox article.

00:22:24.720 Glenn, Mexican.

00:22:27.180 What are the rules?

00:22:28.340 I have to tell you,

00:22:30.180 Steven, I can't take

00:22:31.300 your hate speech

00:22:32.240 anymore.

00:22:33.080 I mean, this is

00:22:33.980 getting a little out

00:22:34.880 of hand.

00:22:35.940 I apologize to those

00:22:37.220 in the Latinx

00:22:37.940 community, which I

00:22:38.800 don't even know what

00:22:39.520 that means.

00:22:40.120 So this guy screams

00:22:41.240 and screams that he

00:22:41.940 wants us banned from

00:22:43.260 the platform.

00:22:44.420 And YouTube, finally,

00:22:45.580 they conducted an

00:22:46.180 investigation, and they

00:22:46.880 said, well, okay, he's

00:22:47.660 not in violation of

00:22:48.440 guidelines.

00:22:49.120 Great.

00:22:50.020 This guy screamed and

00:22:51.240 moaned even more.

00:22:51.900 By the way, a billion

00:22:52.680 dollar company, Vox.

00:22:53.720 Articles from New

00:22:54.560 York Times, Washington

00:22:55.520 Post, Vice.

00:22:56.900 And this is what's so

00:22:57.760 funny.

00:22:57.980 You know about this

00:22:58.720 with the media.

00:22:59.440 The Washington Post

00:23:00.180 wrote an article up

00:23:01.000 where they had been

00:23:01.840 talking with this guy

00:23:02.660 back and forth for a

00:23:03.540 very long time, and

00:23:04.380 YouTube directly from

00:23:05.560 what you read in the

00:23:06.220 article.

00:23:06.860 They sent me an email

00:23:07.980 at night that went

00:23:09.480 through my merchandise

00:23:10.240 website.

00:23:10.860 There's a contact page

00:23:11.920 on the website, by the

00:23:13.140 way.

00:23:13.520 And they said, by the

00:23:14.080 way, you have like an

00:23:14.680 hour to respond.

00:23:15.840 We reached out to

00:23:16.680 Steven, who was not

00:23:17.260 available for comment.

00:23:18.320 No, I was eating a

00:23:19.460 hot pocket, dummy. 0.60

00:23:20.400 Like, I had one hour

00:23:21.380 to myself.

00:23:22.720 So anyway, this is

00:23:24.160 what happens.

00:23:24.680 And then YouTube says

00:23:25.680 this is not a violation

00:23:26.780 of guidelines.

00:23:27.480 That's very clear.

00:23:28.680 But his speech is

00:23:30.520 offensive enough to be

00:23:31.600 egregious that we have

00:23:32.480 just booted him and

00:23:33.340 completely demonetized

00:23:34.740 all of his videos.

00:23:35.800 Meaning my whole

00:23:36.560 channel, not a single

00:23:38.380 video can be monetized.

00:23:39.500 And that's, of course,

00:23:40.020 why Mug Club is so

00:23:40.820 important.

00:23:41.240 You know, in partnership

00:23:41.720 with The Blaze, people

00:23:42.520 can join up right now

00:23:43.480 at loudofcudder.com

00:23:44.980 slash Mug Club.

00:23:45.720 There's a, I think,

00:23:46.300 at The Blaze, too.

00:23:46.880 The promo code is

00:23:47.740 free speech.

00:23:48.340 They get $30 off for

00:23:49.940 this right now.

00:23:50.680 Thank God Vox has

00:23:51.560 actually sold more

00:23:52.280 memberships.

00:23:52.840 They should be

00:23:53.160 Employee of the Month

00:23:53.840 now that I think

00:23:54.340 about it.

00:23:56.260 We actually probably

00:23:57.060 will put that into

00:23:57.620 the commercial.

00:23:58.360 Employee of the Month.

00:23:59.900 The Latinx gentleman

00:24:01.340 of Vox.

00:24:02.260 Look, he's bullying me.

00:24:03.920 So wait, wait, wait,

00:24:04.740 wait, wait, wait.

00:24:05.100 I want to read the

00:24:06.340 exact thing that

00:24:07.380 YouTube put out

00:24:08.540 because it's

00:24:09.660 crazier than your

00:24:11.780 explanation, which is

00:24:12.980 pretty crazy.

00:24:13.620 Even if a creator's

00:24:15.780 content does not

00:24:17.340 violate our

00:24:18.360 community guidelines,

00:24:19.620 we will take a look

00:24:20.960 at the broader

00:24:22.020 context and impact.

00:24:24.320 And if their behavior

00:24:25.040 is egregious and

00:24:26.160 harms the broader

00:24:27.340 community, we may

00:24:29.420 take action.

00:24:30.840 In the case of

00:24:31.860 Crowder's channel,

00:24:32.880 a thorough review

00:24:34.260 over the weekend

00:24:35.240 found that

00:24:36.300 individually, the

00:24:37.740 flagged videos did

00:24:38.880 not violate our

00:24:39.860 community guidelines.

00:24:40.760 However, in the

00:24:42.900 subsequent days, i.e.

00:24:44.640 the mob rose up, we

00:24:46.440 saw the widespread

00:24:47.760 harm to the YouTube

00:24:49.360 community resulting

00:24:50.980 from the ongoing

00:24:51.900 pattern of egregious

00:24:53.160 behavior.

00:24:54.320 Wait, what egregious

00:24:55.800 behavior?

00:24:56.900 None of that behavior

00:24:58.320 violated your community

00:24:59.600 guidelines.

00:25:01.180 At first, I thought

00:25:02.100 they had the ghost of

00:25:03.440 James Cagney write up

00:25:04.380 and it talked about

00:25:04.920 hurting the broad

00:25:05.720 community, which I

00:25:06.500 thought was

00:25:06.860 distasteful.

00:25:08.120 But then they said,

00:25:09.240 yeah, they said,

00:25:09.960 you know, the impact,

00:25:11.020 hold on a second,

00:25:11.700 they demonetized me

00:25:12.580 literally reading from

00:25:13.540 pillar to post the

00:25:14.560 Green New Deal.

00:25:15.560 No commentary.

00:25:16.740 They demonetized videos

00:25:18.040 that change my mind

00:25:19.140 where we go on campus

00:25:19.920 and have students

00:25:20.600 simply discuss issues.

00:25:22.160 I have almost nothing

00:25:23.340 to do with it.

00:25:24.380 This is the issue here,

00:25:25.660 too.

00:25:26.260 They've said now in

00:25:27.020 with a subsequent

00:25:28.340 investigation, we've

00:25:29.180 noticed these egregious

00:25:30.220 offenses of guidelines.

00:25:31.780 So this is something I

00:25:32.440 want everyone to

00:25:32.940 understand if they think

00:25:33.720 this is just about me.

00:25:34.720 It's not, and we'll be

00:25:35.580 okay because of the blaze

00:25:37.260 and because of Mug Club.

00:25:38.100 So we appreciate the

00:25:38.760 support.

00:25:39.340 But for people out there

00:25:40.340 who think that they

00:25:40.940 won't come for you,

00:25:42.360 let me explain this.

00:25:44.260 Guidelines, egregious

00:25:45.460 violations.

00:25:46.180 Okay.

00:25:46.500 Upon a subsequent

00:25:47.460 investigation, they said

00:25:48.340 days.

00:25:48.780 It took days.

00:25:49.320 Now, Google, YouTube

00:25:50.200 is the biggest media

00:25:51.260 company in the world.

00:25:52.120 Google, Facebook, and

00:25:53.220 then way down the list,

00:25:53.920 Twitter, right?

00:25:54.320 So wouldn't you think

00:25:55.120 that if Google, YouTube,

00:25:57.640 the alphabet is the name

00:25:58.800 of the parent company,

00:25:59.560 ran an investigation

00:26:00.460 for days and we asked,

00:26:02.860 hey, can you tell us

00:26:04.060 what the violations were?

00:26:06.280 Wouldn't you expect them

00:26:07.100 to be able to provide

00:26:07.600 something?

00:26:08.080 Yes.

00:26:09.520 Okay.

00:26:10.760 Surprise.

00:26:11.560 They did.

00:26:12.660 But two, out of the

00:26:14.660 thousands of videos,

00:26:16.200 two, do you know what

00:26:17.540 they were?

00:26:17.980 One was called, it was

00:26:18.900 an episode, an

00:26:19.960 installment called the

00:26:20.700 Trans Troop Ban. 0.99

00:26:22.040 We had a transgender

00:26:23.400 on the show, on that

00:26:25.380 show, a conservative

00:26:26.220 transgender.

00:26:26.980 The show was about being

00:26:28.360 open to hearing opinions

00:26:29.480 from the transgender

00:26:30.100 community because not all

00:26:31.360 of them are people like

00:26:32.740 Vox trying to get

00:26:33.640 different opinions banned.

00:26:34.600 You can be transgender

00:26:35.620 and happen to want

00:26:36.760 lower taxes.

00:26:37.820 Dad, wait a minute.

00:26:38.820 You're saying to me

00:26:39.800 people are all individuals.

00:26:42.140 Shut up with your hate,

00:26:43.420 Stephen Crowder.

00:26:45.020 Well, in this case,

00:26:45.880 they could be two

00:26:46.560 individuals.

00:26:47.220 I'm not entirely sure

00:26:48.120 on the two-spirited

00:26:48.880 community anymore.

00:26:49.720 Again, the rule book

00:26:50.440 just keeps changing.

00:26:51.680 Right.

00:26:51.840 And then the other one

00:26:52.860 was an interview with

00:26:54.000 the woman who was a 1.00

00:26:54.740 victim of sexual assault

00:26:55.800 who talked about Islamic

00:26:56.940 rape grooming gangs

00:26:58.780 in the UK.

00:26:59.680 Just like, you know,

00:27:00.240 people have talked about

00:27:00.900 this going on for a long

00:27:01.780 time.

00:27:02.220 It was an interview.

00:27:02.920 These weren't even

00:27:03.500 offensive videos.

00:27:04.220 So out of the over

00:27:05.540 a thousand videos,

00:27:06.960 after days of

00:27:07.960 investigating,

00:27:09.160 they gave my

00:27:10.140 official legal counsel,

00:27:11.780 my half-Asian lawyer,

00:27:12.920 Bill Richman,

00:27:13.860 two examples.

00:27:15.280 Yeah.

00:27:15.540 By the way,

00:27:15.900 it doesn't even say

00:27:16.460 where in the episode

00:27:17.100 something was offensive.

00:27:18.200 And we've said this is,

00:27:19.100 of course,

00:27:19.360 incredibly ineffective.

00:27:21.000 This is not a complete list.

00:27:22.860 It's far from comprehensive.

00:27:24.300 We need to know

00:27:24.920 what's going on.

00:27:25.740 Well, they haven't answered.

00:27:27.140 But you've already

00:27:27.780 run the investigation,

00:27:28.880 YouTube.

00:27:29.300 Are you inept

00:27:29.880 or are you just

00:27:30.300 being dishonest?

00:27:31.140 The fact is,

00:27:32.300 it's going to be harder

00:27:33.620 and harder for them

00:27:34.340 to find anything.

00:27:34.880 They're trying to scrape

00:27:35.980 for something.

00:27:36.980 And honestly,

00:27:37.460 I thought it would be easier.

00:27:38.800 I mean,

00:27:39.080 half the time when people say,

00:27:40.380 did you,

00:27:41.600 and they present me

00:27:42.200 with a quote,

00:27:42.660 I go,

00:27:42.940 ooh,

00:27:43.180 that reads rough,

00:27:43.880 but sounds like me.

00:27:45.100 Like,

00:27:45.300 I don't run from it.

00:27:46.000 That's exactly what I used

00:27:47.600 to say all the time.

00:27:49.260 Yeah,

00:27:49.540 it sounds like me.

00:27:50.360 Probably.

00:27:51.120 Yeah.

00:27:51.540 I don't remember it.

00:27:52.440 I create so much content.

00:27:54.220 I mean,

00:27:54.460 we've said millions of words,

00:27:57.200 millions of words,

00:27:58.640 and most of it,

00:27:59.840 if not all of it,

00:28:00.880 is unscripted,

00:28:02.400 unplanned.

00:28:03.800 Yeah.

00:28:04.320 Right.

00:28:04.540 Probably said something stupid

00:28:06.000 from time to time.

00:28:06.900 Yeah.

00:28:08.180 The issue is no one

00:28:09.280 knows the rules.

00:28:09.940 No one knows the guidelines.

00:28:11.320 And what they're doing

00:28:11.800 is capitulating to people

00:28:12.740 who scream the loudest.

00:28:13.940 They're saying that

00:28:14.900 it doesn't matter

00:28:15.920 what the guidelines even are.

00:28:18.140 They've now formalized,

00:28:20.660 yeah,

00:28:20.900 we're just whatever we feel.

00:28:22.600 Whatever we feel.

00:28:23.380 Well,

00:28:23.580 here's also the problem,

00:28:24.820 too.

00:28:24.880 I think conservatives

00:28:25.360 make the wrong argument

00:28:26.140 when they just say censorship.

00:28:27.420 This is corporate censorship.

00:28:28.920 This is bullying

00:28:29.620 and corporate intimidation

00:28:30.860 because,

00:28:31.280 listen,

00:28:31.840 you have a billion dollars,

00:28:33.320 Vox,

00:28:33.600 or you have,

00:28:34.060 like,

00:28:34.200 Young Turks,

00:28:34.800 20 million from,

00:28:35.580 what was it,

00:28:35.880 Al Jazeera,

00:28:36.420 Qatar.

00:28:36.820 We're funded by porcelain

00:28:38.460 campfire mugs,

00:28:39.320 for crying out loud.

00:28:40.140 So,

00:28:40.440 when you compare it,

00:28:41.820 it really is favoring

00:28:43.320 the big sort of media

00:28:44.440 conglomerates.

00:28:45.160 That's what we're dealing

00:28:45.820 with.

00:28:46.040 And something else here

00:28:46.840 that I think is at play

00:28:47.820 that people need to understand

00:28:48.720 is YouTube built

00:28:49.700 their entire platform

00:28:50.900 off the backs

00:28:51.480 of original content creators.

00:28:52.720 So,

00:28:52.900 when we started on YouTube,

00:28:53.880 my brother actually

00:28:54.640 was one of the first

00:28:55.600 original partners

00:28:56.340 in 2006.

00:28:58.160 Wow.

00:28:58.480 There was a lot of competition,

00:28:59.620 Glenn.

00:29:00.080 There was,

00:29:00.460 I think,

00:29:00.940 LiveLeak.

00:29:01.440 There were a bunch

00:29:01.720 of other websites.

00:29:02.320 Now,

00:29:02.460 what did YouTube do?

00:29:03.460 This was before they were

00:29:04.240 purchased from Google.

00:29:04.960 They said,

00:29:05.520 you know what?

00:29:06.980 We know that you have

00:29:08.680 many other options.

00:29:09.460 Thank you for flying Qantas.

00:29:10.720 They said,

00:29:11.060 we know that you have

00:29:11.580 other options

00:29:12.100 when it comes to uploading

00:29:13.460 your video content.

00:29:14.300 We've never created

00:29:15.280 original content.

00:29:16.100 This is entirely user-based.

00:29:17.640 So,

00:29:17.820 here's what we'll do.

00:29:18.600 If you promise us

00:29:20.120 that you'll upload

00:29:20.660 your content to YouTube,

00:29:21.840 we're going to share

00:29:22.820 the revenue with you.

00:29:23.920 And what did that do?

00:29:24.920 That eliminated

00:29:25.540 all competition

00:29:26.260 because YouTube was

00:29:27.100 the only place

00:29:27.620 that would do

00:29:27.940 a revenue split.

00:29:28.920 Great.

00:29:29.520 Free market.

00:29:30.480 Then,

00:29:30.920 when they grow big enough

00:29:31.920 and NBC Universal

00:29:33.520 or Disney comes in

00:29:34.800 and wants to take

00:29:35.980 advantage of this platform,

00:29:37.180 they pull the rug out

00:29:38.480 from under the people

00:29:39.180 who have built

00:29:39.780 the platform.

00:29:40.820 Come to us.

00:29:41.400 We'll pay you.

00:29:42.600 That's how they beat

00:29:43.180 the competition.

00:29:44.180 Then they say,

00:29:44.940 all right,

00:29:45.400 we're no longer

00:29:45.920 going to pay you

00:29:46.480 and we're going to ban you.

00:29:47.700 You courted our business.

00:29:49.600 You told us

00:29:50.340 this is where you wanted us

00:29:51.780 and now you're giving us

00:29:53.160 the boot

00:29:53.540 without giving us

00:29:54.580 any rules,

00:29:55.540 without giving us

00:29:56.220 any clear guidelines.

00:29:57.500 It's dishonest

00:29:58.600 business practices.

00:29:59.920 That's what's going on here.

00:30:01.240 You know,

00:30:01.420 it's the same way though.

00:30:02.500 I mean,

00:30:02.800 Facebook is a company

00:30:04.120 that has never received

00:30:05.260 more free advertising.

00:30:06.700 I don't know

00:30:07.140 of another company

00:30:08.300 that has received

00:30:09.400 as much free advertising

00:30:10.740 and when Facebook

00:30:11.960 first started,

00:30:13.000 the deal was

00:30:14.160 and they would ask us,

00:30:15.620 they courted us,

00:30:16.900 they would fly

00:30:17.840 into our offices

00:30:18.920 and say,

00:30:19.660 hey,

00:30:19.920 here's how you do it.

00:30:20.900 Here's how we can help you.

00:30:22.460 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:30:23.680 Let's build a community.

00:30:25.600 Help us build this community.

00:30:27.060 It's a direct relationship

00:30:28.600 with you

00:30:29.700 and your listeners

00:30:30.620 and your viewers.

00:30:31.720 It was fantastic.

00:30:33.060 That's great.

00:30:34.000 Now,

00:30:34.660 I can't even get

00:30:36.340 to the millions

00:30:37.140 of people

00:30:37.880 who went and said,

00:30:39.320 I want Glenn Beck's opinion.

00:30:42.240 I want his posts.

00:30:44.140 I can't do,

00:30:45.160 I can't get to them.

00:30:47.120 They're banning me

00:30:48.280 from them.

00:30:49.840 I know they're banning you

00:30:50.940 from your fans.

00:30:51.760 These aren't people

00:30:52.440 who are protesting you.

00:30:53.620 It's like,

00:30:53.980 hey,

00:30:54.180 I want to know

00:30:54.520 what he's saying.

00:30:55.620 No,

00:30:56.180 we can't allow that to happen.

00:30:57.480 Why is that,

00:30:58.080 Zuckerberg?

00:30:58.580 Must drink water.

00:31:00.320 The guy is just so,

00:31:01.480 I'm not convinced

00:31:02.540 that he wasn't sent back

00:31:03.360 from Skynet.

00:31:04.260 Here's,

00:31:05.160 same thing with YouTube.

00:31:06.020 By the way,

00:31:06.260 let me be really clear

00:31:06.900 about this.

00:31:07.620 I would take complete,

00:31:08.740 well,

00:31:09.000 I can't say I would take,

00:31:09.880 we've already been

00:31:10.320 completely demonetized.

00:31:11.420 Let's be honest,

00:31:12.020 I've lost my cards there.

00:31:13.480 But I would be glad

00:31:14.660 in taking complete

00:31:16.280 total demonetization

00:31:17.320 if it just meant

00:31:18.500 that we still got to reach

00:31:19.960 the viewers

00:31:20.460 that have subscribed

00:31:21.100 to the channel.

00:31:21.840 Correct.

00:31:22.080 Number one conservative

00:31:22.640 YouTube channel

00:31:23.240 of all time,

00:31:24.040 highest interaction rates

00:31:25.140 of any news channel

00:31:26.100 out there.

00:31:26.760 So,

00:31:27.060 that's really the hill

00:31:28.380 that I'm willing to die on.

00:31:29.840 It doesn't seem like,

00:31:30.680 right now,

00:31:31.100 they sent us an email

00:31:31.760 saying none of that

00:31:32.540 has changed.

00:31:33.480 We haven't been classified

00:31:34.520 as borderline content.

00:31:35.880 Oh, you will be.

00:31:36.600 So, we'll wait and see.

00:31:37.840 You know,

00:31:38.120 you never know.

00:31:39.380 They've kind of backed

00:31:40.340 themselves into a corner

00:31:41.200 and I don't think

00:31:41.860 they anticipated

00:31:42.640 the backlash.

00:31:43.800 This is true.

00:31:44.640 I think,

00:31:45.220 I tell you,

00:31:46.220 Steven,

00:31:46.760 we're,

00:31:47.340 the blaze

00:31:48.060 is borderline content.

00:31:50.320 Glenn Beck,

00:31:51.020 borderline content.

00:31:52.820 I mean,

00:31:53.340 it is just

00:31:55.060 a matter of time.

00:31:57.140 You are,

00:31:57.940 you are the lightning rod

00:31:59.460 like right now.

00:32:00.920 And they will,

00:32:01.580 I mean,

00:32:01.780 when people were

00:32:02.660 coming after Alex Jones

00:32:04.420 and I stood for him,

00:32:06.800 I think you stood for him

00:32:07.840 too,

00:32:08.100 didn't you?

00:32:08.800 Yeah,

00:32:09.120 I agree with him

00:32:09.900 on almost nothing,

00:32:10.840 but I had him on my show

00:32:12.120 and talked about it.

00:32:13.240 Exactly right.

00:32:14.080 I don't like the guy.

00:32:15.500 I don't agree with him,

00:32:16.520 but I stood up for him.

00:32:17.900 And people who didn't know,

00:32:19.100 well,

00:32:19.320 he's Alex Jones.

00:32:20.280 He's crazy.

00:32:21.080 Okay,

00:32:21.320 wait until they come

00:32:22.060 for somebody you like.

00:32:23.000 Well,

00:32:23.100 they just have.

00:32:24.200 They just have.

00:32:24.960 And it is growing exponentially

00:32:27.320 and they are getting

00:32:28.120 bolder and bolder.

00:32:30.060 And well,

00:32:30.520 here's the problem too,

00:32:31.280 though.

00:32:31.520 I think they really

00:32:32.280 backed themselves

00:32:32.800 into a corner

00:32:33.280 because with this purge,

00:32:34.340 keep in mind too,

00:32:34.920 when they released,

00:32:35.560 now we have new policies

00:32:36.420 for white supremacists

00:32:37.600 and Vox considers

00:32:38.500 Tucker Carlson

00:32:39.100 a white supremacist.

00:32:39.940 They consider Nigel Farage

00:32:41.460 a white supremacist.

00:32:42.180 So they said,

00:32:43.020 you know,

00:32:43.180 we've purged

00:32:43.800 thousands of videos.

00:32:44.700 Keep in mind

00:32:45.180 that at least a thousand

00:32:46.640 of those videos

00:32:47.340 are this guy's.

00:32:48.940 So when you read

00:32:49.420 about the thousands

00:32:50.000 of videos purged

00:32:50.780 under white supremacist label

00:32:52.220 and there's no delineation,

00:32:53.720 I'm one of those

00:32:54.120 notorious pro-Israel

00:32:55.240 white supremacists

00:32:55.960 with a biracial producer.

00:32:57.640 That's me.

00:32:58.600 I meet with the Klan 0.97

00:32:59.720 on Sundays.

00:33:00.820 It really is remarkable.

00:33:03.500 But now the thing is

00:33:04.420 they've used these guys.

00:33:05.280 They've now started

00:33:06.240 completely booting

00:33:07.780 history channels

00:33:08.880 that simply cover

00:33:09.580 historical events.

00:33:10.160 They started booting

00:33:10.720 news channels,

00:33:11.560 many of which are left

00:33:12.600 that simply cover

00:33:13.580 right issues.

00:33:14.720 And a lot of these people

00:33:15.640 are now pushing back.

00:33:16.600 This is the first time

00:33:17.400 I will say this, Glenn.

00:33:18.420 The Vox adpocalypse

00:33:20.800 was trending all night

00:33:22.260 last night

00:33:22.720 and the backlash

00:33:23.800 from not conservatives

00:33:24.920 but from the entire

00:33:26.380 entertainment

00:33:27.420 and YouTube creator community.

00:33:28.920 This is the first time

00:33:29.780 this has happened

00:33:30.460 where they've banded together

00:33:31.660 was so much worse

00:33:33.300 than an angry

00:33:34.440 gentleman and scholar

00:33:36.440 of Latino origin

00:33:37.520 who happens to be

00:33:38.240 attracted to the same sex

00:33:38.880 which is brave

00:33:39.300 and beautiful at Vox.

00:33:40.280 The backlash

00:33:40.980 was so much worse

00:33:42.400 from every...

00:33:44.320 I don't want you

00:33:44.780 to get put on borderline here, Glenn.

00:33:46.140 I'm looking out for you guys.

00:33:46.520 Thank you.

00:33:46.680 I appreciate it.

00:33:47.400 I appreciate it.

00:33:48.860 It's so much worse

00:33:50.000 than they anticipated

00:33:50.980 just coming from media matters

00:33:52.160 that I think now

00:33:53.100 they're going to have

00:33:53.840 to readjust

00:33:54.540 or they know

00:33:55.380 that they are going

00:33:56.000 to hemorrhage,

00:33:57.520 hemorrhage users

00:33:58.520 and for people out there

00:33:59.380 you need to understand this.

00:34:01.100 YouTube,

00:34:01.820 their currency

00:34:02.460 is their user.

00:34:03.580 Their currency

00:34:04.040 is their viewer, okay?

00:34:05.100 And their currency

00:34:06.000 is only as valuable

00:34:07.120 as the trust

00:34:08.000 that the viewer

00:34:08.740 has in the platform.

00:34:11.140 And right now

00:34:12.000 that trust

00:34:13.240 is degrading

00:34:13.920 very quickly

00:34:14.680 and I don't think

00:34:15.620 they anticipated it.

00:34:16.540 This guy...

00:34:16.800 Let me one more point here.

00:34:17.880 This is just hysterical to me.

00:34:19.160 Quickly.

00:34:19.400 The Vox guy said

00:34:20.240 YouTube was supposed

00:34:21.420 to be a queer space.

00:34:23.000 What?

00:34:24.200 Two percent...

00:34:25.080 He used the word queer

00:34:25.720 by the way,

00:34:26.040 not me.

00:34:26.340 It's hate speech

00:34:26.700 if I say it

00:34:27.140 but he used the word

00:34:27.720 queer space.

00:34:28.480 That's two percent

00:34:29.100 of population Earth.

00:34:30.440 Fifty percent

00:34:31.080 of population Earth

00:34:31.960 is conservative

00:34:32.520 and if you look

00:34:33.000 at people

00:34:33.260 who don't believe

00:34:33.660 that conservatives

00:34:34.100 should be milkshaked

00:34:34.840 or banned

00:34:35.240 you're probably looking

00:34:36.000 at seven five

00:34:37.080 at least.

00:34:38.140 YouTube's supposed

00:34:38.800 to be a space

00:34:39.500 for everyone.

00:34:40.740 So if YouTube

00:34:41.760 capitulates here

00:34:42.820 it's not about YouTube

00:34:43.620 siding with the left.

00:34:44.420 It's about them

00:34:45.200 siding with the two percent 0.92

00:34:47.140 versus the 98 percent.

00:34:48.640 We need to keep

00:34:49.080 that in perspective.

00:34:49.820 So Stephen,

00:34:50.480 somebody else

00:34:51.180 had some problems

00:34:51.820 yesterday.

00:34:53.060 Lila Rose

00:34:53.820 from Live Action

00:34:55.440 she had a problem

00:34:56.840 yesterday with Twitter.

00:34:58.480 Twitter banned

00:34:59.500 Live Action

00:35:00.160 and her account

00:35:01.000 from all ads.

00:35:02.540 When asked why

00:35:03.580 Twitter said

00:35:04.500 she could resume ads

00:35:06.900 but only if

00:35:08.720 they would comply

00:35:09.740 and she would delete

00:35:11.440 the following content

00:35:12.680 from her Twitter feed

00:35:14.080 and the Live Action

00:35:16.580 website.

00:35:17.540 So all that

00:35:19.380 Lila Rose

00:35:20.400 and Live Action

00:35:21.200 this pro-life

00:35:22.560 website

00:35:23.560 has to do

00:35:24.440 is remove

00:35:25.940 anything from

00:35:26.980 Twitter or their

00:35:27.960 website

00:35:28.480 about abortion

00:35:30.320 procedures

00:35:31.120 quote

00:35:32.120 anything

00:35:32.840 about abortion

00:35:33.880 procedures

00:35:34.480 anything about

00:35:36.000 investigations

00:35:36.880 of Planned Parenthood

00:35:38.200 and all

00:35:39.960 ultrasound images.

00:35:42.060 But that's all

00:35:43.000 she has to do.

00:35:43.700 Right.

00:35:45.200 I wonder if that

00:35:45.680 same rule applies

00:35:47.260 to Planned Parenthood.

00:35:48.160 You know,

00:35:48.460 they banned me

00:35:49.120 from ads

00:35:49.700 on Twitter

00:35:50.480 a long time ago

00:35:51.220 which is funny

00:35:51.760 because they actually

00:35:52.440 again courted me

00:35:53.140 and told me

00:35:53.520 to advertise

00:35:54.000 on Twitter

00:35:54.560 so that's

00:35:55.620 some money

00:35:56.380 I'll never get back

00:35:57.160 but I would be

00:35:58.620 concerned if I

00:35:59.520 hadn't already

00:36:00.060 been banned

00:36:00.660 from ads

00:36:01.380 if only because

00:36:02.520 this wouldn't

00:36:02.860 bode well for me

00:36:03.500 since I went in

00:36:04.120 as a transgender

00:36:05.020 woman at Planned

00:36:05.860 Parenthood

00:36:06.200 and tested positive

00:36:07.060 on a pregnancy test.

00:36:08.340 And by the way

00:36:08.720 I saw that episode

00:36:09.360 by the way

00:36:09.780 brilliant.

00:36:11.060 Yes,

00:36:11.440 apologies to the

00:36:12.340 woman on Craigslist

00:36:13.120 who's pregnant urine 0.96

00:36:14.160 we I don't think

00:36:15.960 illegally but certainly

00:36:16.660 surreptitiously obtained

00:36:17.540 should have been

00:36:18.420 more forthright

00:36:18.940 about the purposes

00:36:19.600 for it for the video.

00:36:20.640 It was crazy.

00:36:22.840 You stood there

00:36:23.500 with a doctor

00:36:24.220 clearly a guy

00:36:26.280 saying you're pregnant 0.63

00:36:28.300 and the doctor

00:36:31.160 is the doctor

00:36:32.040 just will not

00:36:32.900 address the fact

00:36:34.060 that you can't

00:36:34.980 be pregnant. 0.94

00:36:36.940 Yeah,

00:36:37.520 by the way

00:36:38.040 if you test

00:36:38.780 positive

00:36:39.340 as a man

00:36:40.640 on a pregnancy

00:36:41.080 test it's indicative

00:36:41.880 of testicular cancer.

00:36:43.200 People need to know

00:36:43.780 that.

00:36:44.580 So it's

00:36:44.940 again we've reached

00:36:46.560 the age where

00:36:47.020 truth does not

00:36:47.860 matter.

00:36:48.580 Mr. Stephen Crowder

00:36:49.620 is with us now.

00:36:51.440 Stephen,

00:36:51.940 if you hadn't

00:36:52.540 started your mug

00:36:53.440 club and had

00:36:54.200 the subscribers

00:36:55.020 you would have

00:36:56.720 probably been

00:36:57.480 firing people

00:36:58.480 today.

00:36:59.540 Don't you think?

00:37:00.380 Would you?

00:37:00.860 If you were

00:37:01.500 an average person

00:37:02.520 that was just

00:37:03.140 creating content

00:37:04.540 on YouTube

00:37:05.220 you'd be freaked

00:37:07.160 out of your mind.

00:37:08.040 Yeah,

00:37:10.540 or I'd probably

00:37:11.040 just be doing

00:37:11.680 a lot of meth.

00:37:15.500 So,

00:37:15.960 you know,

00:37:16.140 I just,

00:37:16.480 because I don't

00:37:17.040 necessarily know

00:37:17.520 that I would be

00:37:17.840 responsible in the

00:37:19.380 pressure cooker.

00:37:20.120 No,

00:37:20.420 yeah,

00:37:20.540 that's absolutely

00:37:21.020 correct.

00:37:21.460 And that's what

00:37:21.900 my concern is

00:37:22.480 is the smaller

00:37:23.540 guy after us.

00:37:24.720 You know,

00:37:25.120 we're really

00:37:25.500 fortunate that

00:37:26.080 we've built

00:37:26.740 a big following

00:37:27.620 and fortunate,

00:37:28.540 but yeah,

00:37:28.900 we've worked

00:37:29.300 really hard

00:37:29.880 to do it.

00:37:30.780 But this was

00:37:31.880 kind of,

00:37:32.240 you know,

00:37:32.360 it was seen

00:37:32.920 as the wild west

00:37:33.740 of the internet.

00:37:34.560 People use that

00:37:35.000 term a lot.

00:37:35.360 The wild west,

00:37:36.080 the internet,

00:37:36.520 or the bathroom wall

00:37:37.260 of society.

00:37:37.720 It's kind of both.

00:37:39.280 But the thing is,

00:37:40.660 the value there

00:37:41.520 was that the gatekeepers

00:37:42.620 didn't really have

00:37:43.140 the same kind of sway.

00:37:44.020 Anyone could start

00:37:44.520 a podcast.

00:37:45.100 Anyone could start

00:37:45.540 a show.

00:37:45.840 You had kids

00:37:46.300 who were creating

00:37:46.660 YouTube channels

00:37:47.260 and were just

00:37:47.700 dominating some

00:37:48.400 of the biggest

00:37:48.800 networks, right?

00:37:49.560 Well,

00:37:49.820 now the big networks

00:37:50.580 have said,

00:37:50.880 hold on a second,

00:37:51.680 we want access

00:37:52.480 to those eyeballs.

00:37:53.680 And so not only

00:37:54.380 do they spend

00:37:54.860 more money,

00:37:55.880 but they exert

00:37:56.660 pressure,

00:37:57.580 political pressure,

00:37:58.400 social pressure

00:37:59.040 on these companies

00:38:00.040 to try and give

00:38:01.120 them a leg up.

00:38:01.880 That's what we're

00:38:02.240 seeing with NBC Vox.

00:38:03.500 That's what you see

00:38:04.060 with companies

00:38:04.500 like Disney and Vice.

00:38:05.420 So what worries me

00:38:06.360 is that there might

00:38:07.320 not be the ability

00:38:08.300 for someone else

00:38:09.180 like me to come up

00:38:10.780 in the next few years.

00:38:12.420 That's what's so concerning.

00:38:13.780 So we are going

00:38:14.380 to be fine.

00:38:14.920 And if people want

00:38:15.400 to support,

00:38:16.140 they can join up

00:38:16.780 at a lottowithcreditor.com

00:38:17.940 slash mug club.

00:38:18.620 And of course,

00:38:19.040 we're with the Blaze.

00:38:19.760 You get access

00:38:20.120 to all the content there.

00:38:21.380 There's a $30 off

00:38:22.340 special right now

00:38:23.000 if you use the promo

00:38:23.640 code free speech.

00:38:24.480 But yeah,

00:38:24.800 if we didn't have it,

00:38:25.980 I mean,

00:38:26.200 let's talk about

00:38:26.840 bullying for a second.

00:38:28.000 They say that I'm

00:38:28.640 bullying even though

00:38:29.520 I went after Vox

00:38:30.460 when I had a tenth

00:38:31.420 of the subscribers

00:38:32.100 just because he happens

00:38:33.800 to be a quote-unquote

00:38:34.940 queer producer.

00:38:36.080 His words,

00:38:36.540 not mine.

00:38:37.040 Please don't remove

00:38:37.660 me for hate speech.

00:38:38.620 So that's considered bullying.

00:38:40.580 But trying to remove

00:38:42.000 the ability of one

00:38:43.620 and his 15 employees

00:38:45.580 to make a living

00:38:46.380 is not.

00:38:47.660 And what about

00:38:48.180 advocating battery

00:38:49.160 and assault

00:38:49.680 against conservatives?

00:38:50.720 How is that not bullying?

00:38:52.320 We have to look

00:38:53.200 at actions of people

00:38:54.440 and not just whether

00:38:55.440 they're a part

00:38:55.880 of the marginalized

00:38:56.480 group of the day.

00:38:58.080 And in this case,

00:38:58.800 this is a serious

00:38:59.960 case of bullying

00:39:00.940 which really would

00:39:01.880 have had ultimately

00:39:03.180 much more severe

00:39:03.960 ramifications.

00:39:04.800 And this is something

00:39:05.340 else.

00:39:05.560 When we talk about

00:39:06.240 bullying,

00:39:06.920 you know why bullying

00:39:07.540 is so bad in high

00:39:08.480 school or in the

00:39:09.000 workplace?

00:39:09.680 It's because it's

00:39:10.360 chronic.

00:39:10.920 It's because it's

00:39:11.420 systemic, right?

00:39:12.140 You still have to go

00:39:12.880 to that school the

00:39:13.560 next day and the

00:39:14.140 bully's there.

00:39:14.800 You still have to go

00:39:15.660 into work the next

00:39:16.420 day and if your

00:39:16.880 supervisor's a bully,

00:39:18.740 he's still there.

00:39:19.700 The difference is

00:39:20.420 when we have videos

00:39:21.240 that we do rebuttals,

00:39:22.140 it's entirely voluntary

00:39:23.360 to watch it.

00:39:24.600 Making sure that

00:39:25.640 none of our staff

00:39:26.860 has the ability

00:39:27.520 to make a living,

00:39:28.460 that is far more

00:39:29.760 in line with the

00:39:30.440 idea of systemic,

00:39:32.240 chronic bullying

00:39:33.040 that you would see

00:39:33.600 in high school.

00:39:34.500 Here's one of the

00:39:36.300 tweets that he has

00:39:37.360 tweeted out and I

00:39:38.380 just, this is

00:39:40.720 beyond bullying.

00:39:42.740 Listen to this.

00:39:43.860 Get back to me

00:39:44.700 when you're ready

00:39:45.300 to personally

00:39:46.180 assassinate people 0.87

00:39:47.580 I find annoying

00:39:48.900 on Twitter.

00:39:50.340 Then we'll talk.

00:39:51.680 Now, I could take

00:39:53.100 this to the extreme

00:39:54.460 and say, he's

00:39:55.180 calling for the

00:39:55.760 assassination of

00:39:56.740 Steven Crowder.

00:39:58.620 No, I think he

00:39:59.740 means personally

00:40:01.240 assassinate people 0.87

00:40:02.320 on Twitter,

00:40:04.140 personally assassinate

00:40:05.280 people because he

00:40:06.020 is a very, very

00:40:07.640 big guy on

00:40:09.100 humiliate people,

00:40:10.980 make, make a

00:40:12.880 statement, make

00:40:14.080 people dread

00:40:15.420 being in public

00:40:17.100 and have, and

00:40:18.680 having another

00:40:19.520 opinion.

00:40:20.960 How is this?

00:40:22.300 How is this not

00:40:23.620 bullying?

00:40:24.000 Yeah, I'm not

00:40:25.920 familiar with that

00:40:26.700 tweet, but I

00:40:27.160 certainly am familiar

00:40:27.820 with the tweets

00:40:28.220 where he talked

00:40:28.760 about milkshaking

00:40:29.600 people.

00:40:30.100 He's like, ah, it's

00:40:30.520 just a milkshake.

00:40:31.140 Well, there could

00:40:31.480 be acid in that

00:40:32.160 milkshake.

00:40:33.020 I'm certainly

00:40:33.640 familiar with, you

00:40:34.400 know, his tweets

00:40:35.080 implying that I'm a

00:40:36.400 homosexual who's 0.85

00:40:37.360 lying to my wife,

00:40:38.100 which, by the way,

00:40:38.780 I don't really care.

00:40:40.260 To me, if you say,

00:40:41.260 oh, Steven's

00:40:42.060 secretly gay, I

00:40:43.260 guess it means that

00:40:43.880 I've done enough

00:40:44.380 push-ups recently.

00:40:45.320 It doesn't bother me.

00:40:46.660 It's not that big of a

00:40:47.820 deal.

00:40:48.460 But doesn't that,

00:40:49.560 what do we do now,

00:40:50.340 YouTube, if sexual

00:40:51.620 orientation is a

00:40:52.540 violation of, not a

00:40:53.960 violation of guidelines,

00:40:54.820 but if it's sort of

00:40:55.420 egregious and it's not

00:40:56.280 really acceptable,

00:40:57.300 well, what about when

00:40:58.040 you combine it with

00:40:58.680 libel or slander,

00:41:00.540 saying that I'm

00:41:01.160 secretly gay?

00:41:01.660 He's weaponized

00:41:02.400 sexuality against me.

00:41:03.700 Is it just because I

00:41:04.640 happen to be straight?

00:41:06.020 That's not what he

00:41:06.760 claims.

00:41:07.240 This person and Vox as

00:41:09.280 a whole, they've made

00:41:10.220 it very clear.

00:41:11.120 They've said this is

00:41:11.700 not about Steven

00:41:12.440 Crowder.

00:41:13.100 This is about making

00:41:14.380 it a safe space, a

00:41:15.420 queer space, is what 0.97

00:41:16.500 he talked about,

00:41:17.180 actually, this one

00:41:17.720 person.

00:41:18.080 But Vox said, until 0.56

00:41:18.920 these people are

00:41:19.760 completely removed from

00:41:21.580 these social media

00:41:22.480 platforms.

00:41:23.540 They've also, this all

00:41:24.560 the way, by the way,

00:41:25.540 this all stems from a

00:41:26.420 very recent video that

00:41:27.460 we rebutted from Vox,

00:41:28.600 where they talked about

00:41:29.380 how the important role

00:41:30.560 of journalism, the

00:41:31.340 most important role of

00:41:32.340 journalists, is to

00:41:33.480 determine what

00:41:34.740 information the public

00:41:35.720 gets, is to be the

00:41:36.860 gatekeeper.

00:41:37.780 That was what we

00:41:38.560 rebutted.

00:41:39.080 They literally said the

00:41:40.180 primary role of

00:41:41.260 journalism is to

00:41:42.280 decide what

00:41:43.240 information the public

00:41:44.600 gets to know and what

00:41:45.760 they don't.

00:41:46.440 And we said, that's

00:41:47.440 actually not the role

00:41:48.280 of journalism.

00:41:48.880 And that's what set

00:41:50.040 this guy off.

00:41:51.600 That is one of the

00:41:52.820 things, you know, I've

00:41:53.740 told this story before.

00:41:55.600 Before 2008, I talked

00:41:58.660 to a very big financial

00:42:00.940 journalist.

00:42:02.440 And very big.

00:42:04.380 And I was on this

00:42:05.440 individual show.

00:42:06.880 And we were talking

00:42:09.200 about the economy.

00:42:10.020 And I said, look, this

00:42:11.440 thing is, there's a

00:42:14.380 meltdown coming.

00:42:15.560 These home loans and

00:42:17.420 everything else have

00:42:18.020 been out of control for

00:42:19.340 too long.

00:42:20.280 And there's a giant

00:42:21.620 meltdown coming.

00:42:22.760 We got off the air and

00:42:24.520 he said, he looked at me

00:42:25.960 and he said, you're one

00:42:26.740 of the most irresponsible

00:42:27.620 people I have ever met.

00:42:29.940 And I said, are you

00:42:31.740 kidding me?

00:42:32.340 I said, wait, are you

00:42:34.300 disagreeing that this is

00:42:35.440 coming?

00:42:35.960 He said, no, I agree

00:42:38.860 with you.

00:42:39.480 We all know it's coming,

00:42:40.600 but we have a

00:42:41.340 responsibility to keep

00:42:43.640 that away from the

00:42:44.520 American people so they

00:42:45.980 don't panic.

00:42:47.300 And I said, panic comes

00:42:49.360 from not knowing the

00:42:50.500 truth.

00:42:51.920 I know who you're

00:42:52.720 talking about.

00:42:53.080 It was the mayor of

00:42:53.740 Mayor of Amity in

00:42:55.080 Jaws.

00:42:57.760 I'm not going to shut

00:42:58.660 this down on 4th of

00:42:59.440 July weekend.

00:43:00.020 Oh, because someone

00:43:00.560 yells about some big

00:43:01.420 fish.

00:43:01.900 See?

00:43:02.320 I don't know.

00:43:07.760 I'm very tired and I'm

00:43:09.280 tired of this whole

00:43:09.860 situation.

00:43:10.540 We're very fortunate,

00:43:11.420 but man, it really

00:43:12.480 makes me concerned for

00:43:13.420 the next generation

00:43:14.160 for people coming up

00:43:15.020 after me.

00:43:15.780 And this is one, it

00:43:16.520 just doesn't really even

00:43:17.320 enter into our mindset.

00:43:18.440 I would never think of

00:43:19.660 trying to get somebody

00:43:20.360 outright banned and

00:43:21.560 removing their ability

00:43:22.360 to make a living because

00:43:23.480 they disagree with me.

00:43:24.800 Let alone, I would never

00:43:25.620 think of getting someone

00:43:26.320 banned because they said

00:43:27.280 I'm secretly closeted

00:43:28.380 homosexual. 0.86

00:43:29.480 It doesn't bother me for

00:43:30.640 someone saying that I'm

00:43:31.460 a jerk, for someone 0.77

00:43:32.280 saying that I suck, even

00:43:33.720 for someone saying that

00:43:34.660 I'm a racist.

00:43:35.360 People say this stuff all

00:43:36.600 the time.

00:43:37.060 Racist, sexist, homophobe.

00:43:38.700 All right, that's fine.

00:43:39.780 I don't try to get them

00:43:40.600 banned.

00:43:41.460 This is, it's a big

00:43:42.580 difference.

00:43:42.900 And that's dishonest.

00:43:43.980 That's libel.

00:43:44.940 That's slander.

00:43:45.560 That actually is an

00:43:46.180 actionable offense.

00:43:47.180 That being said, these

00:43:48.280 people want to ban

00:43:49.420 opinions they don't agree

00:43:50.720 with.

00:43:50.920 And it's not about a

00:43:51.700 private company being

00:43:53.060 able to choose what they

00:43:54.580 can and won't allow on

00:43:55.620 their platform.

00:43:56.100 They'll allow it and

00:43:57.200 they'll court you until

00:43:57.960 they make enough money

00:43:58.780 and then decide that they

00:43:59.780 want to change the rules.

00:44:00.800 That's the issue.

00:44:01.640 You know, people say that,

00:44:02.720 people on the left say,

00:44:03.680 it's white people who are

00:44:04.580 just worried about losing

00:44:05.940 their power.

00:44:06.580 No, this is the media

00:44:07.760 worried about losing

00:44:09.220 their power.

00:44:09.760 This is, this is the left

00:44:11.200 worried about losing

00:44:12.380 their monopoly.

00:44:13.540 What Americans should be 0.69

00:44:15.360 upset about is losing

00:44:16.700 their voice, their

00:44:17.600 opinions, their, their

00:44:19.060 traditions.

00:44:20.020 I have any tradition you

00:44:21.520 want.

00:44:21.860 I don't care.

00:44:22.920 Talk about it, celebrate

00:44:24.220 it, whatever.

00:44:25.520 Don't tell me what

00:44:26.360 traditions I have to have

00:44:27.760 or celebrate.

00:44:28.540 Don't tell me what my

00:44:29.820 opinion can and cannot be.

00:44:31.700 The real problem here is

00:44:33.560 we have these mega

00:44:36.480 corporations that are now

00:44:38.520 saying, please, federal

00:44:39.680 government, please regulate

00:44:41.440 us.

00:44:42.020 I don't know about you,

00:44:43.380 Steven, but I know you

00:44:45.180 run your show.

00:44:46.060 I run my show.

00:44:46.980 There's not a time, a

00:44:49.660 thought.

00:44:50.220 There's not one brain

00:44:52.100 cell that has ever said,

00:44:53.640 boy, I wish we had more

00:44:54.520 regulation.

00:44:55.880 That is insane.

00:44:58.080 What they're wanting is

00:44:59.660 more regulation to shut

00:45:01.660 out anybody else from

00:45:03.720 competing with them

00:45:04.920 because they'll be able to

00:45:05.860 forward all the attorneys

00:45:06.920 and everything else.

00:45:07.780 Then they'll control the

00:45:09.480 portals.

00:45:10.600 You'll have to go through

00:45:11.580 them.

00:45:12.440 And freedom of speech

00:45:13.540 literally is dead then

00:45:15.520 because they will be in

00:45:17.140 groupthink and the

00:45:18.700 government, the bill of

00:45:19.660 rights applies to the

00:45:20.640 government, not to a

00:45:21.760 private corporation.

00:45:24.120 Well, that depends again

00:45:25.560 if they're, if they're a

00:45:26.240 public platform or a

00:45:27.220 publisher and that's the

00:45:27.940 big argument.

00:45:28.520 They want regulations, but

00:45:29.580 that's where I want to do

00:45:30.560 the, you know, the, uh,

00:45:31.500 the Aladdin say, okay, you

00:45:32.440 want to be the world's most

00:45:33.060 powerful genie and

00:45:34.120 everything that comes with

00:45:35.080 it.

00:45:35.240 You now are beholden to

00:45:36.440 the regulations of a

00:45:37.300 public platform.

00:45:38.260 No, that's what you're

00:45:39.480 going to see happen

00:45:40.080 because that means then

00:45:41.520 you cannot allow certain

00:45:43.200 voices while banning

00:45:44.560 others, just like you

00:45:45.400 can't do that on a phone

00:45:46.280 line.

00:45:46.820 Now, they have that, but

00:45:48.240 they, they have that in

00:45:49.560 the government has

00:45:50.180 allowed them to get away

00:45:51.420 with this kind of

00:45:52.640 behavior.

00:45:53.200 And I think I, but the

00:45:54.740 point is when they say

00:45:55.280 they want regulations,

00:45:56.040 they support things, for

00:45:56.900 example, like net

00:45:57.460 neutrality.

00:45:57.960 That's another thing that

00:45:58.800 people don't understand

00:45:59.280 why, because they know

00:46:00.140 they can survive the

00:46:00.800 bureaucratic red tape,

00:46:01.860 but they don't want to be

00:46:03.020 put in the hot seat and

00:46:04.260 have to formally declare

00:46:05.540 if they are a

00:46:06.660 publishing website, if

00:46:08.800 they're a publishing

00:46:09.420 platform, I guess, or a

00:46:11.000 public platform, a public

00:46:12.140 utility, but they want the

00:46:13.160 benefits of being a

00:46:14.340 public utility.

00:46:14.880 So I don't look, I'm not

00:46:15.820 looking for stringent

00:46:16.460 regulation.

00:46:17.200 I think if they want

00:46:17.940 regulation, we say, okay,

00:46:19.240 the first step right now,

00:46:21.280 Susan Wojcicki, Google,

00:46:22.560 Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook,

00:46:23.860 Jack Dorsey, Twitter, we're

00:46:25.080 going to sit you down.

00:46:26.040 Are you a publisher or are

00:46:27.640 you a platform?

00:46:28.660 And then hold them to it

00:46:29.640 because guess what?

00:46:30.320 If they say they're a

00:46:31.400 platform, what we're

00:46:32.120 talking about right now is

00:46:33.180 no longer a problem.

00:46:34.460 If they say they're a

00:46:35.280 publisher, well, that's

00:46:36.840 going to change everything

00:46:37.820 and their stock price is

00:46:38.740 going to change pretty

00:46:39.440 dramatically too, but they

00:46:40.380 do have to decide.

00:46:41.760 They can't get the

00:46:42.640 benefits of both.

00:46:43.920 I agree with you and I

00:46:44.820 think that's exactly what

00:46:46.340 conservatives should push

00:46:47.740 for.

00:46:48.480 I'm not sure that there's

00:46:50.600 there's enough spine in

00:46:52.280 Congress and the Senate to

00:46:53.740 actually get that through

00:46:55.220 without all kinds of other

00:46:57.000 loopholes and stuff.

00:46:58.000 They should just go for

00:46:58.940 that publisher or

00:47:00.680 platform, which is it

00:47:02.360 going to be?

00:47:03.700 That's enough that would

00:47:04.880 solve all of this.

00:47:06.780 Whether Washington will do

00:47:08.160 it or not is a is another

00:47:09.380 story.

00:47:10.180 Stephen, thank you so much

00:47:11.580 for everything.

00:47:12.520 Thank you for leading the

00:47:13.620 charge.

00:47:13.980 Thank you for being smart

00:47:15.440 enough to know what the

00:47:17.160 guidelines and the rules

00:47:18.200 are.

00:47:18.520 You're not just too many

00:47:19.980 people just get into this

00:47:20.980 business like I'm going to

00:47:21.860 break all the rules because

00:47:22.720 I'm a I'm a trendsetter and

00:47:24.440 I'm a rebel.

00:47:25.460 You actually know what the

00:47:26.940 guidelines and the rules are

00:47:28.100 and that's the only reason

00:47:29.140 we can have a reasoned

00:47:31.240 debate and a and a a

00:47:33.800 responsible position on

00:47:35.880 this beachhead.

00:47:36.780 And I thank you for leading

00:47:37.980 the way on it.

00:47:38.760 Thank you, Stephen.

00:47:39.700 Well, thank you very much.

00:47:40.340 I don't know the rules or

00:47:41.080 guidelines anymore, but that

00:47:42.500 was true yesterday.

00:47:43.360 I know.

00:47:43.660 I'll keep you posted.

00:47:44.340 I know.

00:47:44.660 Thank you very much.

00:47:45.420 Stephen Crowder, Louder

00:47:46.800 with Crowder.

00:47:47.320 You can get him on the

00:47:48.240 blaze.

00:48:29.500 Terrence Williams is

00:48:32.100 described as a born actor

00:48:34.300 and comedian with a passion

00:48:36.480 to perform.

00:48:37.240 He is one of the hottest

00:48:38.180 viral internet sensations

00:48:39.560 with an online following now

00:48:41.240 of nearly a million strong.

00:48:43.400 He was raised and born here

00:48:45.820 in the Dallas kind of area

00:48:48.120 or the Texas area in a

00:48:49.980 little place I'm not too

00:48:51.100 familiar with called

00:48:51.840 Oklahoma.

00:48:52.480 Oklahoma, but he decided

00:48:56.920 one night he was just a

00:48:58.120 working stiff and he

00:48:59.400 decided just I'm going to

00:49:01.060 push that public button on

00:49:02.920 on my Facebook page and

00:49:05.100 literally like two people

00:49:06.260 had been watching his

00:49:07.020 stuff and in a very short

00:49:08.680 term, his videos went to

00:49:09.960 42 million on Facebook.

00:49:12.700 What did that feel like?

00:49:15.100 First of all, Glenn, don't

00:49:18.300 ever put Oklahoma and Texas

00:49:19.640 in the same sentence.

00:49:20.740 Amen on that, brother.

00:49:23.400 I will fight you, but I'm

00:49:24.820 recovering from a wreck that

00:49:25.860 I had three months ago.

00:49:28.320 But yes, you know, I didn't

00:49:32.300 have any followers.

00:49:33.660 I wasn't even active on

00:49:34.800 social media.

00:49:35.700 I didn't.

00:49:36.580 I wasn't.

00:49:37.900 I wasn't even looking to be

00:49:39.500 famous at all on social

00:49:42.040 media.

00:49:42.360 And I decided to make a video

00:49:44.100 one day because I just got

00:49:46.220 tired of people saying,

00:49:47.640 Terrence, complaining about

00:49:49.220 America.

00:49:50.280 I was I would I would get

00:49:51.520 on Facebook and my friends

00:49:52.800 like Terrence, let's move

00:49:53.780 back to Africa. 0.94

00:49:55.060 Move back.

00:49:56.320 I've never been to Africa.

00:49:58.860 So I say, you know what?

00:50:00.500 I'm about to make a video

00:50:01.520 real quick because I'm sick

00:50:03.240 of this mess.

00:50:03.900 And I heard you can go live

00:50:05.200 on Facebook.

00:50:05.680 This is where you this is when

00:50:07.140 the live future just started.

00:50:08.820 So I went live and I was I

00:50:10.740 was eating a piece of chicken

00:50:11.680 because I was on my lunch

00:50:12.780 break.

00:50:13.780 So people thought that was

00:50:14.540 all set up.

00:50:15.160 Like, why?

00:50:15.720 Why are you eating a piece

00:50:16.480 of chicken and he black?

00:50:17.820 Why are you talking?

00:50:18.600 Who don't eat chicken?

00:50:19.940 So Facebook came after me

00:50:21.860 for eating chicken.

00:50:23.280 Seriously?

00:50:23.980 Yeah, because people say

00:50:24.800 it was racist because I'm a

00:50:26.580 black man on Facebook

00:50:28.660 eating chicken.

00:50:30.140 But last time I checked,

00:50:31.780 I didn't.

00:50:32.900 I ate chicken last night

00:50:34.360 and I think on Sunday.

00:50:36.220 Black people eat chicken. 0.99

00:50:37.440 White people eat chicken. 0.97

00:50:38.540 Hispanics eat. 1.00

00:50:39.300 Matter of fact, white people

00:50:40.200 eat more chicken than black

00:50:41.220 people, but white people

00:50:42.500 sometimes they hide their

00:50:43.840 chicken, like chicken noodle

00:50:45.240 soup, chicken pie pie,

00:50:47.320 chicken dumplings.

00:50:48.740 I'm like, dang, man,

00:50:49.840 can you eat more chicken

00:50:50.820 than me?

00:50:52.080 You know?

00:50:53.520 And I did notice a lot

00:50:54.980 of white folks, they,

00:50:56.080 you know, black folks,

00:50:57.320 we tend to go, you know,

00:50:58.500 we tend to go to the chicken

00:50:59.560 places, you know, after

00:51:00.980 five o'clock and we just

00:51:02.040 got off work, you know,

00:51:03.200 seven o'clock for dinner.

00:51:04.880 But the white folks,

00:51:05.520 they get there early,

00:51:06.240 11 o'clock in the morning.

00:51:08.240 11 o'clock in the morning.

00:51:09.220 So we don't see them there.

00:51:10.260 But they be there

00:51:11.320 before we get there.

00:51:14.300 Yeah.

00:51:14.780 So, you know,

00:51:15.560 so I made this video

00:51:18.060 just saying that,

00:51:18.980 you know, like this is

00:51:19.640 trying to explain to people

00:51:21.140 this is the greatest

00:51:21.880 country in the world.

00:51:23.260 The great.

00:51:24.020 And if it wasn't

00:51:24.820 the greatest country,

00:51:25.680 why is everybody

00:51:26.860 moving here?

00:51:28.900 Why is everybody

00:51:29.380 moving on?

00:51:29.920 Why do you want to go

00:51:30.760 back to Africa? 0.89

00:51:31.380 Because first of all,

00:51:32.500 now anything I say on

00:51:33.620 this radio station has

00:51:34.600 nothing to do with

00:51:35.300 Blaze TV, has nothing to

00:51:37.440 do with Glenn Beck.

00:51:38.520 So that won't

00:51:40.760 that won't help.

00:51:41.980 That won't help.

00:51:43.380 But go ahead.

00:51:45.440 Yeah.

00:51:46.000 I can't believe

00:51:47.000 Glenn Beck had that.

00:51:48.240 Yeah.

00:51:48.600 That racist on.

00:51:50.080 Yeah.

00:51:50.300 Yeah.

00:51:50.520 He's black,

00:51:51.160 but he's black.

00:51:52.400 People can't be racist,

00:51:53.580 but he is.

00:51:54.620 Yeah.

00:51:54.900 He is.

00:51:55.640 Yeah.

00:51:55.820 Now they said black

00:51:56.620 people can't be racist.

00:51:57.920 But for some reason,

00:51:59.240 I'm racist.

00:51:59.800 You're racist.

00:52:00.700 Because I'm a

00:52:01.540 conservative black.

00:52:02.660 Right.

00:52:03.380 I didn't know that.

00:52:04.660 Let's stop with the code.

00:52:06.280 It means white.

00:52:07.460 Yes.

00:52:08.320 I'm a white man

00:52:09.320 because people do

00:52:09.900 because people do say

00:52:13.040 I'm a part of the KKK.

00:52:14.960 What?

00:52:15.520 Yes.

00:52:16.440 Seriously.

00:52:17.240 I promise you.

00:52:18.940 Seriously.

00:52:19.580 Well, you are wearing

00:52:20.160 a white t-shirt.

00:52:21.440 Yes, I am.

00:52:22.020 Is it a hooded t-shirt?

00:52:23.840 Well, you're just

00:52:24.280 your clan pointy hood

00:52:25.480 comes over the top?

00:52:26.500 I plead the fifth.

00:52:28.140 Did you join the clan

00:52:29.360 online?

00:52:29.920 Because I don't think

00:52:30.320 in person it would go

00:52:31.060 that well.

00:52:32.620 I plead the fifth.

00:52:35.040 I plead the fifth.

00:52:36.060 But, you know,

00:52:37.100 this is the greatest

00:52:38.040 country in the world

00:52:38.720 and I was just

00:52:39.360 basically telling people

00:52:40.340 like, you know,

00:52:41.860 trying to explain to people

00:52:42.600 why would you want

00:52:43.140 to move to Africa?

00:52:44.920 I know that's where

00:52:45.900 now I don't

00:52:47.460 I know that's where

00:52:48.440 some of black people

00:52:50.220 ancestors are from.

00:52:52.100 I don't know about mine

00:52:53.680 because I got Indian in me.

00:52:55.780 You know,

00:52:56.700 I got a little Irish in me.

00:52:57.940 You can't see it,

00:52:58.700 but I do.

00:52:59.520 You know, I mix.

00:53:00.640 So, you know,

00:53:02.320 but I was basically

00:53:03.480 just telling people

00:53:04.520 like, listen,

00:53:05.800 these people are moving

00:53:08.520 here for a reason

00:53:09.300 because this is the

00:53:09.980 greatest country

00:53:10.600 in the world.

00:53:11.340 So why would you

00:53:12.200 want to move there?

00:53:12.720 And first of all,

00:53:14.700 our people in Africa

00:53:16.960 sold us into slavery.

00:53:19.100 You know,

00:53:19.700 it sold us into slavery.

00:53:21.460 And,

00:53:21.860 you know,

00:53:24.920 yes, it was wrong,

00:53:25.860 but we were sold

00:53:27.260 we were sold into slavery

00:53:28.680 by our own people

00:53:30.780 and it was wrong.

00:53:33.820 But you know what?

00:53:35.100 It turned out great

00:53:36.100 because now we are

00:53:38.000 in a country

00:53:38.640 with thousands

00:53:40.820 of opportunities

00:53:41.800 that we didn't have

00:53:44.540 at first.

00:53:45.540 You can be

00:53:46.560 no matter your color,

00:53:48.380 no matter where

00:53:49.020 you come from,

00:53:50.120 no matter what

00:53:51.200 neighborhood you come from,

00:53:52.920 no matter what

00:53:54.580 what family you are born into.

00:53:56.340 You can be whatever

00:53:57.220 you want to be

00:53:58.300 in this country,

00:54:00.780 no matter what.

00:54:02.520 You can.

00:54:03.100 So why would you

00:54:03.640 want to move there

00:54:04.620 when they're moving here?

00:54:05.600 Because they can't do

00:54:06.560 what we can do.

00:54:07.320 So when you

00:54:08.100 when you were growing up,

00:54:09.440 did you think

00:54:10.160 maybe someday

00:54:11.240 I could be banned

00:54:12.300 by Facebook?

00:54:14.160 You know what?

00:54:14.980 That was my biggest fear.

00:54:16.000 That was your biggest fear

00:54:17.620 as a kid.

00:54:17.980 That was my biggest fear.

00:54:18.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:54:19.120 That was my biggest fear

00:54:20.120 growing up.

00:54:20.820 You know,

00:54:21.180 when I graduated

00:54:22.740 high school,

00:54:23.460 I was so scared.

00:54:24.920 You know,

00:54:25.500 my first time

00:54:26.100 going to jail

00:54:26.800 was when Facebook

00:54:29.480 locked me up

00:54:30.080 in a Facebook County jail.

00:54:31.360 Wow.

00:54:31.820 I couldn't send

00:54:32.460 my auntie

00:54:33.160 a happy birthday text.

00:54:34.840 Right.

00:54:35.100 Holy cow. 0.89

00:54:35.420 I was trying

00:54:36.000 to check on my exes.

00:54:37.540 Right.

00:54:38.060 I was trying to snoop.

00:54:39.520 I couldn't do anything.

00:54:41.680 Couldn't do anything.

00:54:42.420 Yeah.

00:54:42.900 Boy, that's horrible.

00:54:43.660 So,

00:54:43.980 but I was once banned

00:54:45.900 because I posted

00:54:47.000 a screenshot

00:54:48.300 of the death threats

00:54:51.260 that I received

00:54:52.600 from a lot of people.

00:54:54.580 And I,

00:54:55.120 I,

00:54:55.500 I,

00:54:55.840 I,

00:54:56.160 it was a screenshot

00:54:57.200 of almost about 20,

00:54:58.740 about 20 screenshots

00:54:59.920 of people saying

00:55:00.480 they're going,

00:55:01.160 that they're going

00:55:01.780 to kill me, 0.78

00:55:02.560 calling me an Uncle Tom,

00:55:04.420 calling me a coon,

00:55:06.320 calling me,

00:55:06.920 you just,

00:55:07.360 names that are out

00:55:08.440 of this world.

00:55:09.280 So,

00:55:09.620 and Facebook banned me

00:55:10.860 because they said

00:55:12.040 by me,

00:55:13.500 they said,

00:55:14.140 uh,

00:55:14.860 the fact that I posted them

00:55:16.400 and,

00:55:16.980 you know,

00:55:17.140 I didn't mark out

00:55:17.780 any names

00:55:18.740 because if you're sending

00:55:20.100 me death threats, 0.82

00:55:20.780 I need everybody to know.

00:55:21.900 Right.

00:55:22.360 Okay.

00:55:22.740 Yeah.

00:55:23.160 So,

00:55:23.700 because just,

00:55:24.220 just in case something happened.

00:55:25.460 Right.

00:55:25.900 So they know where

00:55:26.900 to go look.

00:55:27.980 But Facebook said

00:55:29.120 that's a form of bullying

00:55:30.380 by putting them on blast.

00:55:33.440 So wait,

00:55:33.920 so wait,

00:55:34.300 so wait,

00:55:34.580 so wait,

00:55:35.160 did those,

00:55:36.100 were those people banned?

00:55:37.620 No,

00:55:38.000 I was being,

00:55:38.700 no,

00:55:38.820 I know that,

00:55:39.300 but were they also banned?

00:55:41.020 Nah,

00:55:42.360 nah.

00:55:42.940 So they were threatening,

00:55:44.080 which is,

00:55:44.560 which is more,

00:55:46.040 uh,

00:55:46.740 well,

00:55:46.960 it's bullying,

00:55:47.740 but it's more like

00:55:48.880 threatening someone

00:55:50.180 with their life.

00:55:51.900 Uh,

00:55:52.460 and they didn't get banned,

00:55:54.020 but you got banned

00:55:55.740 for posting their public posts,

00:56:00.220 their public posts

00:56:01.460 and their message

00:56:02.540 in the,

00:56:03.520 they sit in,

00:56:04.140 it was a lot of messages

00:56:05.060 also that they send me

00:56:06.040 in my inbox

00:56:06.860 and,

00:56:07.780 and,

00:56:08.280 uh,

00:56:08.500 uh,

00:56:08.960 other people in Facebook,

00:56:10.020 they were saying that,

00:56:11.060 well,

00:56:11.240 they sent you the messages

00:56:12.480 privately,

00:56:13.060 so you should have

00:56:14.200 kept it private.

00:56:16.380 So when I saw,

00:56:17.700 but when you messaged me,

00:56:19.840 so wait a minute,

00:56:20.620 so wait a minute,

00:56:21.560 maybe that's where

00:56:22.960 Hitler went wrong. 0.86

00:56:24.880 Instead of writing it

00:56:26.160 in a public book,

00:56:27.360 he should have just

00:56:28.920 printed it

00:56:29.560 and then personally

00:56:30.620 delivered it

00:56:31.320 to all the Jews.

00:56:32.800 Then,

00:56:33.620 that was a private issue.

00:56:35.200 That's not a,

00:56:36.460 that's not a,

00:56:37.420 and that way,

00:56:38.100 if,

00:56:38.220 if a Jew stood up 0.99

00:56:39.560 and said,

00:56:40.280 hey,

00:56:40.700 uh,

00:56:41.080 Hitler's threatening 0.68

00:56:42.000 to gas us all,

00:56:43.640 then Facebook

00:56:44.840 could have said,

00:56:45.700 how dare you say that

00:56:47.520 about the dear leader?

00:56:49.200 Exactly.

00:56:49.620 He went to your house 0.99

00:56:50.620 privately to say that

00:56:51.920 to you.

00:56:52.500 Yes.

00:56:53.620 And I was,

00:56:55.400 I'm not gonna lie

00:56:56.460 to you,

00:56:56.800 Glenn,

00:56:56.900 and I was hurt.

00:56:58.160 I was hurt.

00:56:59.380 That was my,

00:56:59.900 that was the first time

00:57:00.680 Facebook hurt my feelings

00:57:01.840 because I thought

00:57:02.940 they were,

00:57:03.620 I,

00:57:04.000 I took them screenshots.

00:57:05.700 I said,

00:57:06.240 yeah,

00:57:06.700 Facebook about to ban

00:57:08.060 all y'all,

00:57:09.520 you know?

00:57:10.460 I said,

00:57:10.840 I'm snitching on everybody.

00:57:15.080 I said,

00:57:15.700 I'm snitching on everybody,

00:57:17.400 And,

00:57:17.700 uh,

00:57:18.000 then I turned around,

00:57:19.280 I tried to log in.

00:57:20.300 I said,

00:57:28.220 you know,

00:57:28.540 a couple balloons,

00:57:29.700 and I chopped the sign in,

00:57:33.780 and face,

00:57:34.440 I'm like,

00:57:34.780 why is not,

00:57:35.700 what's going on?

00:57:37.320 What's going on?

00:57:39.560 That's how I said,

00:57:40.480 I said,

00:57:40.640 what's going on?

00:57:43.400 So,

00:57:44.020 I,

00:57:44.200 I said,

00:57:44.720 no,

00:57:45.000 this,

00:57:45.360 I said,

00:57:46.180 I said,

00:57:48.320 I said,

00:57:48.820 let me,

00:57:49.140 let me uninstall this app real quick.

00:57:51.820 It's all,

00:57:52.260 it's always acting up,

00:57:53.440 so I uninstall the app,

00:57:54.520 turned the phone off,

00:57:57.260 did a reset,

00:57:59.400 logged,

00:57:59.940 and still couldn't log back home,

00:58:01.980 and then they sent me a message saying,

00:58:03.880 you know,

00:58:04.200 Terrence,

00:58:04.920 you've been banned,

00:58:07.400 How long did that last,

00:58:07.760 did you call them?

00:58:08.600 Did you write them?

00:58:09.520 Did you?

00:58:09.860 I had to get on Twitter to have my,

00:58:12.400 to have,

00:58:13.280 uh,

00:58:13.700 uh,

00:58:14.060 my,

00:58:14.640 to have some of the people who followed me,

00:58:17.200 you know,

00:58:17.760 tag Facebook and go after them,

00:58:19.460 and I,

00:58:20.060 I had people sending out,

00:58:21.460 I had people,

00:58:22.240 uh,

00:58:22.540 uh,

00:58:22.960 people were making,

00:58:23.840 uh,

00:58:24.020 blogs,

00:58:24.520 and all this stuff,

00:58:25.800 and then Facebook reached,

00:58:26.860 then Facebook reached out and said,

00:58:27.980 oh,

00:58:28.220 we are so sorry,

00:58:29.280 it was an accident.

00:58:30.800 It was an accident.

00:58:32.260 Those accidents.

00:58:33.380 Yeah.

00:58:33.940 Yeah,

00:58:34.280 it happens a lot there.

00:58:35.760 it was an accident,

00:58:36.860 but it was not an accident,

00:58:38.120 because you don't,

00:58:40.080 they don't make them accidents with liberals.

00:58:41.900 I never hear liberals on Facebook or Twitter.

00:58:45.760 Well,

00:58:46.260 until recently,

00:58:47.160 you know,

00:58:47.520 some of them have been banned now,

00:58:49.020 but you never hear them complaining about being banned for,

00:58:53.400 you know,

00:58:54.280 for nothing.

00:58:55.300 You never hear about that,

00:58:56.860 but you hear about it with us,

00:58:59.180 with,

00:58:59.560 you know,

00:59:00.060 conservatives or Trump supporters,

00:59:01.460 or people are just free thinkers,

00:59:03.140 period,

00:59:04.060 free thinkers,

00:59:04.620 period.

00:59:05.440 And it's,

00:59:05.780 it's been hard.

00:59:06.260 Then people tell me,

00:59:06.920 well,

00:59:07.000 Terrence,

00:59:07.300 you kicked out the black community too. 0.74

00:59:12.540 What do you mean?

00:59:12.940 You were kicked out of the black community?

00:59:14.300 They say you are kicked out of the black community.

00:59:17.620 Is there a place you guys all meet?

00:59:19.340 I mean,

00:59:20.740 I didn't know it was an official club.

00:59:24.380 I've been banned from all the barbecues.

00:59:27.920 You can't go into a barbershop anymore either.

00:59:31.180 Ever since,

00:59:31.980 ever since I've announced my support for Trump,

00:59:34.760 I've been banned from all barbecues.

00:59:37.000 I've been banned.

00:59:38.740 you kicked out the black community. 0.97

00:59:40.340 And I said,

00:59:40.840 well,

00:59:41.000 what does that mean?

00:59:41.780 What do you mean?

00:59:42.420 I'm kicked out the black community. 1.00

00:59:44.560 What is the disadvantage?

00:59:47.000 Because I never knew what the benefit was.

00:59:49.000 What do you mean?

00:59:50.380 I'm kicked out the black community. 1.00

00:59:52.000 And I said,
