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.
00:01:16.820

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
00:02:50.360
but I guess there was a part of me that just so hoped that I was wrong
00:03:25.240
And I will explain the loss of voices that you trust
00:03:33.200
This is a critical day in the Republic's history.
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.
00:04:13.040
And he is a guy who, you know, talks about political things.
00:04:34.740
Get back to me when you're ready to personally assassinate people
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
00:05:08.780
He talks about milkshaking people, throwing milkshakes at them,
00:05:13.380
humiliate them at every turn, make them dread public organizing.
00:05:23.920
shows how media coverage on the right fixates on violence
00:05:37.400
Well, Steven Crowder has been taking him on and winning.
00:05:50.360
And comedy is the most dangerous thing you can do.
00:06:08.720
And they said, we are going to investigate that Steven Crowder.
00:06:14.920
And they found that he had done absolutely nothing wrong.
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,
00:06:45.520
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
00:07:00.980
He has 4 million followers and subscribers on YouTube.
00:07:08.440
He goes out all the time to make sure we're going to follow these rules.
00:07:16.160
we found that individually the flagged videos did not violate our community guidelines.
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.
00:07:36.280
and we made the decision to suspend monetization.
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,
00:07:51.640
You just said none of the videos violated community guidelines.
00:07:59.420
But he has to address any videos that violate policies?
00:08:17.280
we've been investing in the policies, resources, and products
00:08:24.000
and protect the YouTube community from harmful content.
00:09:54.340
We recently have started to build a YouTube page,
00:58:49.020
but you never hear them complaining about being banned for,
00:59:09.960
There were some of the messages that I received.
00:59:14.300
They say you are kicked out of the black community.
00:59:31.980
ever since I've announced my support for Trump,
