Transcript

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,
00:01:19.000 and we're talking about all these bannings on Facebook and everything,

00:01:48.760 and that's what the blaze is.
00:01:49.980 And we also need your help spreading the word about this podcast.

00:02:02.040 It helps other people discover this podcast.
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
00:14:29.200 keep the
00:14:29.540 babies
00:14:29.920 in the
00:14:30.260 ultrasounds
00:14:30.740 alive?
00:14:31.900 I'm going to
00:14:32.460 share with
00:14:33.000 you what
00:14:33.760 all of
00:14:34.220 this means

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
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

00:19:50.300 to the

00:19:58.440 favorite podcasts.
00:19:59.380 Yesterday was
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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

00:48:29.500 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.
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.
00:50:37.440 White people eat chicken.
00:50:38.540 Hispanics eat.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
00:56:39.560 and said,
00:56:40.280 hey,
00:56:40.700 uh,
00:56:41.080 Hitler's threatening
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
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,
00:57:16.720 you know?
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,
00:57:20.660 oh,
00:57:20.820 it's,
00:57:21.140 I said,
00:57:21.640 it's my,
00:57:22.440 uh,
00:57:22.840 uh,
00:57:23.220 it's,
00:57:23.540 it's my auntie's birthday.
00:57:25.000 I'm gonna go post on her,
00:57:26.400 I'm gonna go post on her page,
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,
00:57:46.800 these dang iPhones,
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,
00:58:05.640 buddy,
00:58:06.340 you know,
00:58:06.720 you in time out.
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,
00:58:13.000 uh,
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.
00:59:09.960 There were some of the messages that I received.
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.
00:59:38.120 They said,
00:59:38.500 Terrence,
00:59:38.740 you kicked out the black community.
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.
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.
00:59:52.000 And I said,
00:59:52.500 and half of y'all owe me money.
00:59:54.200 So before you kicked me out,
00:59:55.640 pay me back.
