As we just mentioned, Twitter has suspended the President's account on Twitter again, permanently, due to the risk of further incitement. | |
| Is that the right call, in your view? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I don't know why they would have restored his service even if they needed it. | ||
| Ask members of the United States Congress. | ||
| Ask the people who are prepared to testify about this president's lawlessness and obstruction of justice. | ||
| Ask the people and the families in El Paso when that shooter admitted in his manifesto that he was influenced by Donald Trump's tweets. | ||
| Donald Trump has 65 million followers on Twitter. | ||
| And we have to take seriously the weaponization of this platform by the president and the need, therefore, of a private corporation to be held accountable to say he has abused the terms. | ||
| And it could result, literally, in a threat to safety of human beings who are participating in the process. | ||

|
Donald Trump had to be impeached and removed. | |
| This is someone who's already been banned from Twitter but still has access to the nuclear codes. | ||
| Twitter bans President Trump permanently. | ||
| It has been the defining way that he has shared every thought. | ||
| But in the wake of the riots at the Capitol and the social media giant has now muzzled the president forever. | ||
| And President Trump and his followers are correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's banned. | |
| Kicking 2022 off with a ban, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has been banned from Twitter permanently. | ||
| She follows in the footsteps of former President Donald Trump, who was banned last year for using the site to quote, glorify violence on January 6th and the days that followed. | ||
| On New Year's Day, Green posted a lengthy COVID-19 rant, rife with misinformation, to her verified personal Twitter account. | ||
| In it, she falsely claimed that COVID-19 vaccines were killing people, saying, quote, extremely high amounts of COVID vaccine deaths are ignored. | ||
| And that is simply untrue. | ||
| The CDC says it has been able to verify nine deaths caused by heart inflammation associated specifically with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. | ||
| This type of misinformation violates Twitter's Terms of Service policy, and Twitter says it gave Greene not three or four, but five strikes before freezing her personal account. | ||
| And her account, or lack thereof, has looked like this since last Saturday. | ||
| The Congresswoman's professional government account Remains active however misinformation on social media. We've discussed this many times. It's dangerous It's important that we do something to fight it and I think most of us can agree It's been quite nice not dealing with Donald Trump's daily nonsense and hateful rhetoric on Twitter for a whole year But there is a deeper question here Are we actually doing the public a disservice? | ||
| By banning people like Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene from mainstream social media platforms because there are places on Which they exist if extremists extremists are not on Twitter or Facebook It means they find alternative ways to spread their toxic messages Many have flocked to far-right platforms like Parler, Telegram, DLive, Rumble, Gab, and most recently, Getter, a social media site founded by the former Trump aide, Jason Miller. | ||
| After her Twitter suspension, Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Getter for all her Republican followers to leave Twitter to teach the company a lesson. | ||
| Welcome to Toxic Messaging Headquarters, HQ, the railhead here. | ||
| You're in the War Room, Saturday, 8th January, Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| The first year anniversary of President Donald J. Trump, while he was Commander-in-Chief, while he was President of the United States, while he was CEO of the American government, while he was Chief Magistrate, to be banned for his toxic messaging and citing of violence according to Twitter and according to the apparatus. | ||
| Today's special, Twitter's War On MAGA, and we've got an incredible, we've got Pasovic, we've got Naomi Wolf, we have Mike Lindell, all in the second hour, and we're going to start with Jason Miller, the CEO. | ||
| We've got Pedro Gonzalez from Chronicles Magazine in a moment with a blockbuster article about Paul Singer and the board over at Twitter. | ||
| So talk to me about it. | ||
| You were comms director Strategist. | ||
| You were a comms director in 16, chief strategist in 20. | ||
| You know more than anybody about President Trump's messaging and the use of those platforms. | ||
| You know, you were the Ted Cruz guy back in the primaries in 15 and 16. | ||
| You know how powerful Trump's Twitter platform was. | ||
| Now you're a forgetter. | ||
| We've said, you and I have talked about doing this show for a while, for over, before Christmas. | ||
| You said, hey, 6 January is not the anniversary. | ||
| The anniversary is 8 January, when they banned Donald J. Trump from Twitter. | ||
| Jason Miller. | ||
| Yeah, and Steve, I would just start off by saying the two tweets that President Trump put up that violated Twitter's quote-unquote glorification of violence policy, let me just go ahead and just read these to folks, just to make sure people really understand it. | ||
| Here's what President Trump put out on January 8th of last year. | ||
| Quote, the 75 million great American patriots who voted for me, America first, and make America great again, will have a giant voice long into the future. | ||
| They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape, or form. | ||
| That's number one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What time did that come out in the morning? | |
| That came out in the morning on the exact time stamp. | ||
| And then the second one, President Trump said just a little bit later, this is it, to all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the inauguration on January 20th. | ||
| Those two tweets are what got President Trump killed from Twitter and social media. | ||
| And again, it was this glorification of violence policy that Twitter supposedly has. | ||
| But here's, Steve, I will tell you... Was it the first one that said the 75 million great Americans that voted for me? | ||
| They said both. | ||
| They said both of them were inciting violence. | ||
| And it went against, again, what they call their glorification of violence policy. | ||
| But Steve, I want to go back for something. | ||
| People always ask me, you had a seat at the table, you're a senior guy for President Trump for 2016, 2020. | ||
| What would you have done differently? | ||
| I always tell them that we should have started a social media platform, make sure President Trump couldn't be de-platformed. | ||
| I will admit... Back in 16, back in 17. | ||
| Yes, 17, 18, 19. | ||
| I will always say that I was the first one to say, guys, you're just being hyperbolic. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| That they would ever kick off a sitting President of the United States. | ||
| Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| It's just impossible. | ||
| It's just impossible. | ||
| And they went and did it. | ||
| And that's why when we see what happened to Dr. Malone, to Marjorie Taylor Greene, to anybody else. | ||
| Trump was right when he said, they'll do it to me, they'll do it to anyone. | ||
| They've already made the decision. | ||
| That's why we went and launched Getter. | ||
| Because these big tech companies have already made the decision. | ||
| They want all the deplorables gone. | ||
| And they've said, you know what, we'll just sign up people in other countries. | ||
| That's how we'll juice the numbers. | ||
| Don't worry about anyone who is outside of our worldview. | ||
| But literally, they de-platformed the President of the United States for saying that he wouldn't go to Joe Biden's inauguration. | ||
| By the way, the stock pricing of Twitter has been down, you know, since you guys have launched, so it hasn't been lost on people that they're not going to get the same juice. | ||
| What about Marjorie Taylor Greene, this banning of her? | ||
| Just a comment, too. | ||
| If you had nine deaths from any other vaccine that you rolled out, Rachel Maddow and Joanne Reed would be trying to shut down Big Pharma. | ||
| That's the way they calculate it. | ||
| Of course, other people calculate it a lot differently. | ||
| Talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene, because now they're going for the second wave of the rising voices. | ||
| And obviously, Getter. | ||
| There are other platforms. | ||
| Getter is one that we love because of the way you can interconnect so easily. | ||
| But talk to me about the second wave of what the banning is going to show. | ||
| Well, exactly. | ||
| So what the second wave is, they're going for anyone who they think is going to be either a strong ally of President Trump or anyone who refuses to buckle to the system. | ||
| So take Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congresswoman, great Congresswoman from Georgia, which by the way, she was really great on the show the other day. | ||
| If I didn't know any better, I think she's gunning for the head seat at the war room table. | ||
| As a former co-host, you can tell. | ||
| I'm just saying, I thought we were going to come back from break and she'd be sitting there and you'd be sitting over here. | ||
| She's really, really good. | ||
| A very effective communicator. | ||
| But they're going for anyone who dares to speak up. | ||
| And again, this is no longer about incitement. | ||
| This is no longer about violence. | ||
| This is about anyone who disagrees with their worldview. | ||
| So again, we talked about Dr. Malone, Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Look, anyone who dares to go and challenge what they're saying, look at the way that Google and YouTube are saying, if you mention climate change, we're going to go through a warning on you. | ||
| And again, that has nothing to do with incitement. | ||
| That's not voter fraud. | ||
| That's not even a vaccine. | ||
| That's saying that simply you have a different view on climate change. | ||
| I want to talk about this worldview. | ||
| Let's bring in Pedro Gonzalez from Chronicles. | ||
| Because when we talk about worldview, as you know better than anybody, now that you're CEO of a company and dealing with capital markets all the time, people get, and particularly our audience sometimes, when we see the comments, it's all Democrats and Democrats. | ||
| It's far deeper than that. | ||
| This worldview is kind of the globalist, uniparty worldview, and particularly the guys behind the curtains that really call the shots. | ||
| The big money guys, right? | ||
| The hedge fund guys, the billionaire, the oligarchs, etc. | ||
| Pedro Gonzalez has got an incredible piece up about Paul Singer. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And his involvement in Twitter. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Specifically, Paul Singer, I think, is one of the top two or three donors to the Republican Party. | ||
| Let's bring in Pedro Gonzalez, one of the top populist American nationalists out there. | ||
| Great thinker. | ||
| Pedro, walk us through your piece of Chronicles about Paul Singer and his involvement at Twitter. | ||
| First, thanks for having me, Steve. | ||
| So this is, I think, the most important part of this story, because we can rail against the Democrats. | ||
| We can rail against big tech. | ||
| And we can turn to the GOP for help and every single time be left scratching our heads wondering why nothing actually changed. | ||
| And it's because the people to whom the GOP is beholden are people like Paul Singer. | ||
| And so this is the most important part of the story. | ||
| The new Twitter CEO who's on the left, he had publicly bragged about donating to leftist organizations in response to Trump's so-called Muslim ban. | ||
| He tweeted that he thinks that America is better than this as an immigrant, so it's not a secret. | ||
| He's very open about the fact that he's on the political left. | ||
| Well, this new CEO, and by extension, the new Twitter censorship regime, was actually a product of an effort to out Jack Dorsey that started last year. | ||
| For different reasons, people have criticized Jack Dorsey for basically not being heavy-handed enough. | ||
| I think that's an important aspect of this as well. | ||
| Jack Dorsey, it's not necessarily that he cared about free speech, and that's why his censorship was a little bit less terrible than the new CEO. | ||
| It's that he was kind of an absentee CEO because he has all these other projects going on, so it was kind of like benign neglect. | ||
| And that actually, believe it or not, enraged progressives who thought that he wasn't going far enough, that under Jack, Twitter had become a cesspool of Chinese and Russian ops that were So, Paul Singer comes in with his fund, Elliott Management, and launches this year-long effort to oust him. | ||
| Paul Singer, his ideological views, although he's a Republican GOP megadonor, I mean, he's basically on the left as well. | ||
| This is a guy who supports the LGBT cause. | ||
| This is a guy who's a hawk on foreign policy. | ||
| I mean, there's really not a whole lot of daylight between him and George Soros. | ||
| I don't think there is. | ||
| They have many of the same interests and ultimately a very similar worldview. | ||
| Just happens to have an R by his name. | ||
| So, even if Paul Singer can claim, well, I just came in to save Twitter from Jack Dorsey because he was tanking the company, it just so happens that they actually, him and the new CEO, happen to see eye to eye. | ||
| So, the new CEO takes over in November. | ||
| Right after that, a new policy is enacted. | ||
| To basically prohibit people from doxing other people on Twitter. | ||
| So, posting private information like pictures and stuff like that without the person's permission. | ||
| In theory, that sounds good because no one doxes people more than leftist journalists, right? | ||
| But when Twitter actually banned a couple of leftists who dox people for a living, they apologized and said it was a mistake. | ||
| However, a Project Veritas affiliated account that broke a story about a CNN producer on the Jake Tapper Show that had fantasized about having sex with his underage daughter, about sexual acts with his underage daughter to a source, and had solicited pictures of the source's underage daughter, inappropriate pictures of the source's underage daughter. | ||
| When a Project Veritas-affiliated Twitter account broke that story, Twitter banned it. | ||
| And again, they apologized for doing the same thing to left-wing accounts. | ||
| So that was the first indication that this is actually going to be worse than it was under Jack Dorsey. | ||
| And then of course you have the MTG banning. | ||
| And that policy, the policy of hitting people up to a permanent ban, was actually enacted stealthily sometime in December. | ||
| People only noticed it by looking at Twitter's policy guidelines through the Wayback Machine, and they noticed that it had been quietly updated to reflect that, that if you basically spread supposedly misinformation about the virus, about the vaccine specifically, that it can result in a permanent banning. | ||
| It's funny because Mediaite, which is not on the right, this is basically a liberal center-left publication, noted that Twitter's policy is actually in contradiction to the CDC, which has noted itself that these vaccines are not 100% effective. | ||
| So Twitter actually went further than even what the CDC would recommend on this sort of stuff. | ||
| That seems to be what actually got MTG banned. | ||
| But again, all this stuff comes back to Paul Singer. | ||
| Hang on one second, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| When we return, we've got Jason Miller, the former Trump senior advisor, now the CEO of Getter, this alternative platform, and Pedro Gonzalez from Chronicles Magazine. | ||
| and we're gonna turn in the war room on the anniversary of president Donald J Trump being banned from twitter the 8th of January the year of our lord 2022 the really the most important anniversary this week today next in the war room war room pandemic with Stephen K Bannon the epidemic is a | ||

| Twitter, the stock price, the finances of it, Paul Singer, and get back to Pedro in a moment, your assessment as a competing CEO and really what is a startup. | ||
| Yeah, Pedro, spot on. | ||
| This is all about the money. | ||
| This is all about the Benjamins. | ||
| And if you look even last night, Jim Cramer had a segment and he was talking about Twitter, their complete nosedive. | ||
| And he said that in order for Twitter to save this sinking ship, they either have to sell themselves or buy next door or something of that nature. | ||
| So they cannot survive as a standalone company. | ||
| So what does this mean? | ||
| I mean, to Pedro's point, Twitter is down, their stock is down 40.6%. | ||
| They're down 27 bucks a share over the past six months. | ||
| Just happens to coincide with Getter coming into existence, I just might say. | ||
| No, it's a correlation, right? | ||
| You know, correlation is not causation, but here, because they saw a platform that was technologically sophisticated and almost Twitter-like in its ease of use, and people now see that, you know, 50% of the nation, or 55% of the nation, or two-thirds are really center-right, they've had it with this nonsense, and people having correct think. | ||
| Right? | ||
| People, you know, American people want to be able to voice their, want to be able to voice their opinions and their analysis and their assessment, particularly in times like this. | ||
| Yeah, and I think Pedro was spot on when he said that Dorsey was viewed as having too many other side things, and that's just not talking about Flora Carter, which, you know, thumbs up to him for that, but we're talking about obviously Square, but I think at a certain point Dorsey was just checked out. | ||
| One thing a lot of people might not realize, The crazies on the left really blame Dorsey and Zuckerberg for President Trump being elected in 2016. | ||
| They say that it was they allowed, they basically gave him that superpower to bypass the traditional media and go right to people, which it is. | ||
| And that's why they were ready for President Trump to change the rules of the game in 2020 to go and shift that up. | ||
| But I think Pedro's spot on. | ||
| This comes down to money and the fact they put in Agarwal saying that they have no longer connect their terms of service to the First Amendment in any way. | ||
| And again, when we talk about— People don't understand that. | ||
| Explain what that is because it's a big, it's a huge—and this kind of gets to what Pedro was saying, the last thing that, what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying is not, is actually less than what CDC is saying. | ||
| So it's not about that. | ||
| But talk about this First Amendment, what they're doing. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Most Western countries, free speech rights, largely in some way, shape, or form, essentially are your free speech rights extend up to the point where they infringe on someone else's rights. | ||
| Every country has their own interpretation. | ||
| Most other countries don't have a First Amendment like we do and that strong of a positioning. | ||
| But when we talk about literally Agarwal's first day as Twitter CEO, he said the First Amendment, our terms of service are not connected to the First Amendment. | ||
| They're two completely things, different things. | ||
| If that couldn't have been a clear shot across the bow that the game was changing and they were going to take a further leftward lurch. | ||
| And let's not forget when we talk about this whole doxing thing. | ||
| A lot of this is Hunter Biden's photos. | ||
| A lot of it goes back to Hunter. | ||
| By the way, our Twitter account was banned. | ||
| They said because Fauci, we use the term thing, putting, you know, put their heads on pikes, right? | ||
| Which is a term we use all the time in Washington, D.C. | ||
| says that we're going to put their heads on pikes. | ||
| It's to posterize. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And I talked about St. | ||
| Thomas more a couple of days ago before, etc. | ||
| The reason they took us off Twitter Is your old co-host partner, Jack Maxey, we had the hard drive from hell and we were putting up on the, because I never had a Twitter account, we were putting up on the War Room's Twitter account. | ||
| That's what got banned. | ||
| Every day he would hit it with and, you know, like I said, you come for the porn, you stay for the compromise, right? | ||
| He would put up the money they were taking CCP, but the traction was getting every day he was hitting it. | ||
| That's exactly why they took us down. | ||
| They took us down because they didn't want to see Hunter's hard drive, all the salacious stuff up there. | ||
| I mean, it's quite obvious why they did it. | ||
| There's no doubt. | ||
| I want to go back, Pedro, to Jason's point where the guy said it's not with the First Amendment. | ||
| That gets to your point about Marjorie Taylor Greene, doesn't it? | ||
| That actually what she said is not even as controversial as what CDC says, sir. | ||
| Well, the CDC, their guidelines, like I said, they're just, the CDC acknowledges that vaccines are not 100% effective. | ||
| And Twitter's guidelines are that you can't even say that. | ||
| So that's already an indication that Twitter's going further. | ||
| And going back to this point about the First Amendment, Agrawal also said that their policy is not going to be connected with anything like constitutional right to free speech, which you can make an argument, well, it's a private company or whatever. | ||
| I'm not a libertarian, but what I'm saying is that's the lame argument that they'll make. | ||
| But he went further and said, well, instead, we're going to base our decisions on mitigating harm. | ||
| And who defines what is and is not harmful? | ||
| Well, he says, quote, credible sources. | ||
| Again, he's on the political left. | ||
| Who do you think that's going to be? | ||
| It's such a joke that this is supposed to be a nonpartisan objective, better world for Twitter. | ||
| It's obviously not. | ||
| Like you said, the Hunter Biden story is a great example. | ||
| So you leak something or you break a story based on stuff that's leaked and it's a huge story of public interest. | ||
| But now Twitter can make this excuse like, well, you just doxxed Hunter Biden, so we're going to have to take it offline and then also permanently ban you. | ||
| But then again, when leftist journalists do something similar to people that do things that are far worse than what Hunter Biden has done, it's an accident or somehow it's fine. | ||
| So yeah, it's transparent. | ||
| And I think when this also could apply to... | ||
| I mean, again, there's a money thing here. | ||
| Paul Singer has a vested interest in vaccines. | ||
| Elliott Management has taken a significant stake in a company called Glaxo. | ||
| This is the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by revenue. | ||
| And in a scathing letter, Paul Singer's hedge fund, Elliott Management, wrote to Glaxo as part of this whole shakeup and criticized them for not taking points on the production of a COVID-19 vaccine. So it's not going to be a surprise that more and more people who make these good faith critiques of the vaccine regime, of this, a lot of the stuff is experimental, are going to be kicked off this platform. | ||
| I want to put a pin in there for a comeback with Malone and Rogan in a second to you, but while I get Pedro, because he's got to bounce. | ||
| Pedro, this gets to a deeper issue about really the pro-wrestling that takes place in the foreground on cable TV and a lot of these shows and the reality of power in the Republican Party. | ||
| Paul Singer wants two things. | ||
| He wants total deregulation and he wants tax cuts for the wealthy. | ||
| That's why he's quote-unquote got an R next to his name. | ||
| Other than that, he's a total Democrat except for being a neocon also on foreign policy. | ||
| Isn't that a sickness that is throughout the entire Republican Party? | ||
| You've got these donors that are just, all they are for is tax cuts and deregulation. | ||
| Everything else, they stand totally against the America First agenda. | ||
| Take that, Pedro. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, it's absolutely 100% correct. | ||
| If Republicans can't stop taking Paul Singer's money, how are they going to fix this country? | ||
| People were shocked when Ted Cruz Waffled on calling January 6 a terrorist attack. | ||
| They can't stand up to Paul Singer Why would they why would they be able to stand up to something like this this huge lie that January 6 was this day of infamy basically? | ||
| Racist 9-11 or something like that. | ||
| It's not a surprise Republicans can't stand up to their own donors. | ||
| They can't they're addicted to their money. | ||
| These people are basically trained to be cowards so Yeah, I think calling it professional wrestling. | ||
| Actually, professional wrestling is probably more real than Republican Party politics. | ||
| So I've got to make an important point here with regard to Singer. | ||
| Just so people understand the way that this works with Republican donors and politics. | ||
| Steve, as you know, before joining up with President Trump, I made TV ads and helped Republicans win all over the country. | ||
| And one of the races that we ended up losing in 2012, what I was most proud of, I worked for Richard Murdoch. | ||
| And we knocked off Dick Lugar in that primary, beat him 61-39. | ||
| Absolutely whooped Lugar like he stole something, proved that he didn't even live in this state. | ||
| It was just such a beautiful race. | ||
| It was so brutal. | ||
| So we basically had no money coming out of the primary. | ||
| And Murdoch wasn't necessarily the world's most prolific fundraiser. | ||
| Finally, he gets his call with Singer. | ||
| And the only request is we want to make sure that Murdoch would oppose in the Senate any changes to the way that hedge fund guys had their taxes treated. | ||
| Carried interest. | ||
| The carried interest. | ||
| Carried interest is the Holy Grail. | ||
| Can't touch that. | ||
| That's the Holy Grail. | ||
| And that's all... Now, he didn't say, like, you know, here, sign this document saying that you promise not to do this and in return I'll do X. But he's like, I just have one big issue. | ||
| Of course, I'm paraphrasing. | ||
| I have one big issue. | ||
| You have to promise to me you're not going to change this. | ||
| And if he did that, then all of a sudden Singer dumps in millions of bucks to some outside group and helps. | ||
| But that's what it is. | ||
| Now he's added to some stuff like, you know, gay rights and some other things. | ||
| But it's a quid pro quo. | ||
| Pedro, we've got about a minute. | ||
| Tell us quickly about Chronicles, what you're doing over there. | ||
| You guys are on fire. | ||
| We loved having you guys on here every week. | ||
| What's going on and how do people get you on social media? | ||
| So you can go to chroniclesmagazine.org Get a subscription, please. | ||
| Every subscription supports our work so that we can remain independent and do this kind of reporting. | ||
| I don't think anyone else is doing this from the right, attacking not just lame Republicans, but also, more importantly, their funding structures. | ||
| A lot of people simply can't do that because they're also taking money from the same people. | ||
| So please go to chroniclesmagazine.org and get a subscription to our print mag. | ||
| It's also, I think, the best written culture and literary magazine on the right in the country, but I'm just a humble magazine salesman. | ||
| But you can follow me on Twitter and actually Getter as well and Gab and Instagram and pretty much anywhere else in social media if you go to, or my handle is E-M-E-R-I-T-I-C-U-S. | ||
| And like I said, that is everywhere from Getter to Gab and Instagram. | ||
| I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention Twitter on this show. | ||
| No, that's okay. | ||
| Use it while you can. | ||
| Pedro, thank you for taking time away from the family today. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
| One of the great young thinkers, intellectual, public intellectuals and driver of thought on the populist nationalist right. | ||
| Back in a moment with our CEO of Getter, Jason Miller. | ||

Year. | |
| And what have we done with that year? | ||
| In essence, nothing. | ||
| Subpoenas issued, ignored, mocked. | ||
| Traitors, crooks, sadists, racists, gun-fetish psychos, seditionist congressmen, plotters of coup d'etat, still strung out on stupidity and impunity and ready to do it all over again. | ||
| And they are not even the real problem. | ||
| We are. | ||
| One year gone, and if the midterms only go as badly as midterms usually go, only one year left. | ||
| And where is the special prosecutor making life a living hell for Bannon and Miller, Gozer and Boebert, Jordan and McCarthy and Trump? | ||
| Where is the Attorney General giving us not a boilerplate speech, but indictments? | ||
| Where is the Homeland Security Chief telling us, yes, January 6th was terrorism, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers are terrorist organizations, and no, you're not crazy. | ||
| If you and I stormed the Capitol, we would be met by rubber bullets and tear gas. | ||
| And where is the President who is preserving and protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America? | ||
| Where is the President who knows that they are not going to change their minds because you govern well, that the Republicans will destroy democracy, and if they take the House, they will impeach you anyway? | ||
| Where is the President who will fire this wooden statue we call Merrick Garland? | ||
| Where is the president who is not sleepwalking and hiding behind naive, antiquated cliches about bipartisanship when the other side is trying to kill all of us? | ||
| Where is the president who knows that the bully understands only fear, yours and his, and that the only way to stop the bully, to stop the Republicans, to stop the Trumps, to stop the next coup d'etat, is to make them fear that they will lose everything they have? | ||

Because they have made it clear America is going to be them or us. | |
| And goddammit, Joe, it is your job to make sure it is us. | ||
| And if you don't see it that way, resign. | ||
| We need somebody in your chair who realizes that democracy could be dead a year from right now. | ||
| We want that to be you. | ||
| But if it isn't, the rest of us don't have any more time to wait. | ||
| The bottom line, I think my changes would help Twitter turn around rather quickly, frankly, preventing it from drowning in a toxic sludge of nastiness like the Gowanus. | ||
| But even if the new CEO doesn't want to go with my plan, he needs to do something huge to turn this around. | ||
| Otherwise, I bet the company can't stay independent in its current form. | ||
| Jim Cramer, the toxic sludge ought to start with CNBC. | ||
| You know, I'm not a guy into deplatforming, but you have gone on that platform and said you want to set up basically camps. | ||
| You want people into camps that don't take the vaccine. | ||
| You want to have have to be conscientious objectors. | ||
| You want the military to take over. | ||
| You're not vaccinated. | ||
| When there's no proof of your plan working. | ||
| So you can talk about Twitter being toxic all you want. | ||
| I think what comes out of you is pretty toxic. | ||
| And of course we had to start with Keith Oberman. | ||
| Keith's got one thing right. | ||
| It is them versus us. | ||
| And we're winning. | ||
| He understands that. | ||
| So now, you know, it didn't used to be, you used to have a big show on MSNBC, big show on ESPN. | ||
| There's something mentally, there's something even when those platforms, as toxic as they are, can't have a guy like Oberman up there, right? | ||
| It shows you how far gone he is. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, at one point back in the day, I mean, I'm old enough to remember when he was actually pretty funny, and his humor was biting, and he'd pick on people from both sides, but he was a sports guy. | ||
| He was a sports guy and a comedian, and then he got elevated to the politics, he got blue-pilled, and then he just took the entire vat of blue pills and chugged them all down, I guess attempting to intentionally OD himself. | ||
| But no, actually I missed that initially, Steve. | ||
| I'm glad you caught that clip and the War Room guys did. | ||
| But I gotta say, there's this little special tingly feeling that I get when I ruined, you and I both helped to ruin Keith Olbermann's day. | ||
| It kind of made me feel alive again. | ||
| It's not too shabby. | ||
| That's why I love that stuff. | ||
| By the way, I want to make sure, I think Pedro Garbo's words, I want to make sure, in the Project Veritas, that guy at CNN, he actually technically fantasized about his stepdaughter and asked for pics of another girl, both underage. | ||
| The key point is, is that they took it down right away because it was doxing somebody when they let stuff up on the, and Project Veritas has done such amazing work with those hidden cameras. | ||
| This thing about the pedophiles of these guys working at CNN has been pretty shocking, right? | ||
| And they've done an amazing job undercover to get that. | ||
| Really has. | ||
| And keep in mind, this is now two producers. | ||
| This is both a Fredo Cuomo producer and a Fake Tapper producer that have both... that Project Veritas has contributed to getting both of these guys. | ||
| And this is pretty sick stuff. | ||
| I mean, you've got to wonder what's going on in the break room there. | ||
| I want to address something, because I've gotten a ton of guys from the mainstream media I know, men and women, have been blowing me up all week to know, what deal did Jason Miller and Steve Bannon concoct to pay Joe Rogan? | ||
| This is our good buddy Dr. Malone, right, to do the Joe Rogan thing, and this is how Divine Providence works, and how sick Twitter is, and the Jim Cramer's point. | ||
| They're imploding as a company in their financial returns. | ||
| That's what the stock price is, because of the move they made. | ||
| They banned Malone on the eve of his Joe Rogan interview. | ||
| And Joe Rogan, and like I said, if you watch The War Room, what was on Joe Rogan, you've seen over the past, since the spring of 2020. | ||
| However, it was amazing, that three hour interview, and the Joe Rogan massive audience had not ever heard those type of things coming from Malone. | ||
| They were thirsty for it, they couldn't get enough, it caught, it went super viral. | ||
| Well, Malone getting kicked off of Twitter, where was his other alternative? | ||
| He had a getter account that already was pretty big and he started just putting the stuff up there and it exploded. | ||
| And Rogan said, hey, tell me about this site. | ||
| Next thing you know, Joe Rogan's over there. | ||
| You've had a record. | ||
| I mean, the run you've had in two weeks has been pretty extraordinary. | ||
| It has. | ||
| And again, Steve, I'm glad you put the appropriate focus on Dr. Malone because he is someone who, along with folks like Dr. Zelenko and a lot of other folks been out there telling the truth about what's going on. | ||
| And again, Dr. Malone is someone, I don't need to educate the war room audience, obviously, that you folks have heard him on this show a number of times. | ||
| He's one who invented the mRNA technology. | ||
| So it's, and the guy is so smart, which I got to say also too, last time I was in here, Steve, I saw it like you were with him for about five minutes, and then at a certain point I just saw like, and Steve you're one of the smartest guys I know, even at a certain point you're like, I don't know what he's saying anymore because he's just such a brainiac. | ||
| But here's the thing, for Twitter to go and permanently ban Dr. Malone, and then to turn around and permanently ban Marjorie Taylor Greene, We're not saying anything that violates, nothing, there was no incitement, there was nothing saying, you know, no self-harm, anything of that nature. | ||
| When Joe Rogan then took that step to let you know, we've had a million people, they're calling it the Twexit, the great Joe Rogan Twexit of people leaving Twitter, coming over to get her, a million people joined. | ||
| We're now up over four million people globally. | ||
| Which is just a seismic. I mean you talked about me Joe Rogan added a million followers on getter this week Kaylee McEnany added almost five hundred thousand handed e300,000 Jack Pasovic the great Jack Pasovic a quarter million Project Veritas added a quarter million Alex Jones and Infowars who had very nice things to say about us Steve I saw that quarter million Mark Levin James O'Keefe almost a quarter million Matt Gates 200,000 and secretary Mike Pompeo also added 300,000 followers on getter this week because people know | ||
| it's a matter of when not if they're coming for your rights I want to talk about, first of all, before we leave this, is on the anniversary of this, how big a national security Problem do we have with the getters being able to shut down? | ||
| You know miles grow is the one that told me this a couple of years ago He says listen you guys are so focused on military or your as a country and particularly nuclear weapons He said you know social media is a more powerful weapon than so a nuclear weapons like what are you talking about? | ||
| He says they could shut down the entire communication of, and he pointed to Trump, a guy like a Trump could be shut down totally and not be able to communicate not just to his followers to the nation. | ||
| It's exactly what Twitter did. | ||
| How big a national security risk do you think that is? | ||
| And now they get into areas like vaccines and you said climate change, right? | ||
| And we're the big thing in transhumanism. | ||
| They're going to start shutting this thing down next, our discussions on transhumanism. | ||
| How big a national security risk do you see it? | ||
| Well, I think it's massive. | ||
| I mean, even going to that night of the night of the six or going into the morning of the seventh, when Dan Scavino and I were up until, you know, 430 in the morning, making sure to put out the president's statement saying there would be an orderly transition as far as to the next administration and just making sure that everyone knew that we're sending the signal that we can't have any of the nonsense that we saw from the day before. | ||
| Dan couldn't even put that out from the president's own Twitter or from his Facebook or for anything. | ||
| Dan had to put the statement from the president of the United States split up into a couple of different tweets from his own personal account. | ||
| They literally come in and say, you don't have a communication vehicle anymore. | ||
| And to make sure it's clear, this is a direct coordination. | ||
| We have the Twitter, the Facebook, the YouTube, the and then every other, all the small wall platforms try to, even if Trump wasn't on there, they tried to ban him. | ||
| But they went and said, just how they did with shutting down the Hunter Biden story, they said, even though you're the President of the United States, we are not going to allow you to ever have a voice again. | ||
| And when we look at what's happening with the January 6th Committee, when we look at what's continuing to happen with shutting down these additional voices, folks, don't be misled. | ||
| This is about 2024. | ||
| That is what this is about. | ||
| This is leading to the thing they want to ban. | ||
| Somehow they want to get some legal hook into banning Trump. | ||
| There's no doubt in your mind that's where 6th January is going? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| In fact, that's where... There's no way they can beat him. | ||
| It's unbeatable. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| They want to keep this going. | ||
| They know they're going to lose the House. | ||
| They know they'll lose the Senate. | ||
| They want to keep this going as long as possible to try to drag this out and try to pull President Trump into it. | ||
| Obviously, yesterday, with the additional legal action being taken against President Trump, they want to try to keep this going as long as possible. | ||
| And here's the one thing that I want to make sure that we don't miss here when we go back to Joe Biden's speech from Thursday. | ||
| Thursday was the actual kickoff of the 2024 campaign. | ||
| That was the first speech that we've seen from Joe Biden, where it wasn't the weekend at Bernie's, it wasn't a comatose. | ||
| He actually, he stood and delivered. | ||
| It was powerfully delivered for him. | ||
| I'm just putting all the hyperbole aside. | ||
| He actually, for him, he gave a very well-delivered speech, but it was all about Trump in the rotunda, in the Capitol, going after President Trump. | ||
| That had nothing to do with January 6th from a year ago, everything to do about going into the first Tuesday in November of 2024. | ||
| It was the launch to the presidential campaign, and we can't allow it to be viewed as anything other. | ||
| And one of the reasons is that the RealClearPolitics is seven polls, he's down by five. | ||
| The last poll, he's down by eight. | ||
| I mean, these numbers in one year have been extraordinary, the turnaround for President Trump. | ||
| Some people say that one of the benefits of this is Trump's not on Twitter. | ||
| And that's the American people now see that they can compare and contrast without the noise of President Trump in the mean tweets. | ||
| What say you? | ||
| I think that that's, look, President Trump needs to have a voice. | ||
| I think it's his right as a citizen to have a voice. | ||
| Obviously, as I have politely and encouragingly told him, hey, Mr. President, getter's up and going right now. | ||
| Come on over. | ||
| You know, I don't know when. | ||
| When he's launching his 21st, they say they're going to launch their own. | ||
| The truth thing's going to launch. | ||
| By the way, the more the merrier. | ||
| Every platform should, we hope, thrive, right? | ||
| I'm into, hey, let everybody take a rip at it. | ||
| We're all entrepreneurs. | ||
| Let them rip. | ||
| The more the merrier. | ||
| At a certain point here, it's going to real quickly pivot from Biden and the Democrats are incompetent and will get big, huge wins in the midterms coming up this year. | ||
| Then he's around the corner in 2024. | ||
| President Trump needs to be able to get his message, his voice out. | ||
| That's the democratic way. | ||
| By the way, I think people now, when you look at the polls, I don't think they mind the mean tweets, right? | ||
| President Trump had such a unique way of connecting to the American people with Twitter. | ||
| It was- Every time they go to the pump, or every time they go to the grocery store, or every time they see flights being canceled, which I don't think has got enough attention. | ||
| When they see people having to line up for New York City, you have to show a vax card to even go to work. | ||
| I don't know if a lot of people realize that. | ||
| You cannot show up to your job in New York City now unless you're vaccinated. | ||
| They've effectively told hundreds of thousands of people that you are no longer a citizen who can make money in the city of New York. | ||
| Washington, D.C. | ||
| is the same way. | ||
| I mean, Washington, D.C. | ||
| is almost, Northern Virginia is different, but Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C., those big cities are all basically, if you're not vaccinated. | ||
| You can't have a social life, you can't work out, but more importantly, you can't even go into the buildings anymore. | ||
| And this is how they're going to try to drive the forced vaccinations, like in Austria and Germany. | ||
| Okay, a short commercial break. | ||
| We're in turn, Jason Millow is going to walk through. | ||
| Am I asking about freedom of speech on platforms like Getter? | ||
| Also about how easy it is to use? | ||
| We want more people to actually get acquainted with these social media platforms. | ||
| It's a great way to communicate. | ||
| Getter is the only place I am, and I have a blast on it. | ||

| Getter is led by former Trump advisor and War Room co-host Jason Miller, who saw what big tech did to President Trump and decided to fight back. | ||
| Getter is the fastest growing social media platform in history, with 2 million users, including prominent conservatives like Mike Pompeo, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Steve Bannon. | ||
| Join Getter. | ||
| It's in the App Store, the Google Play Store, and at Getter.com. | ||
| Longer posts, longer videos, sharper and clearer pictures. | ||
| And unlike the Silicon Valley oligarchs, Getter will never sell your data. | ||
| Send a message today. | ||
| Join Getter. | ||
| It's time to cancel cancel culture. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We have the CEO of Getter. | ||
| By the way, that's your new spot, Cut to Old Music, by a Getter follower. | ||
| We put the show up live on Getter. | ||
| Somebody said, hey, I agree with Steve. | ||
| I like the old music better. | ||
| It just took the track. | ||
| No, in fact, that's one of the things. | ||
| Kalen, if you're watching, buddy, it's four million. | ||
| We're up to four million now globally, so we got to get that updated. | ||
| That was a big week for you guys. | ||
| Okay, a couple things. | ||
| Number one, it's free speech. | ||
| Talk to us about that. | ||
| And then about the easy use. | ||
| How do people get on, particularly folks that may be over 50 years old and don't do this all the time? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So the easiest way for Getter, and think of it as very much a competitor to Twitter or Facebook, but it's a free speech. | ||
| So functionally, think of those two sites, the ease of which. | ||
| All you have to do is go to the Apple Store, Getter, G-E-T-T-R, download it. | ||
| Go to the Google Play Store, Getter, G-E-T-T-R, or go to Getter.com if you want to sign up, if you want to go online the same way you might for other social media platforms. | ||
| But one of the things, Steve, that I want to make sure to touch on is really what sets Getter apart. | ||
| People ask questions about terms of service and kind of how the platform works. | ||
| The difference between us and other platforms is we have an ideological North Star, meaning that if you support free speech and you oppose cancel culture, then we want you on Getter. | ||
| It doesn't matter what party you're from or if you like Republicans or like Democrats, even if you're in the U.S. | ||
| or not. | ||
| I mean, our user base is less than 50% domestic, more than 50% international because the free speech problem is happening all around the world. | ||
| The sovereignty movement. | ||
| It's happening with our man Bolsonaro in Brazil. | ||
| It's happening with Zumor in France. | ||
| We're seeing it everywhere. | ||
| Here's the thing I want to make sure people realize, though. | ||
| That doesn't mean that we are completely void of any terms of service. | ||
| For us to have a place where people can come and voice their political opinions, there's no algorithms at all. | ||
| Not in any way, shape, or form. | ||
| It's a linear timeline. | ||
| So there's not some suggested, you might see this or that, you wonder, are people seeing your posts, not seeing your posts? | ||
| No algorithms, no shadowbanning, no de-platforming, simply for expressing your political viewpoints. | ||
| We have to make sure, in order to protect those things, Obviously, you can't go on and suggest illegal activity. | ||
| You can't go on and say, you know, I'm going to hurt this person. | ||
| You can't go on and suggest self-harm, such as, I hate you, you should go and kill yourself. | ||
| We have no tolerance for racial or religious epithets. | ||
| If certain things, again, we have to have that baseline so people can come to the platform and feel like they're not saying they have to be agreed with by any stretch. | ||
| There are plenty of people who tell me I'm number one in a very New York kind of way, All the time, you can come on and express yourself, but you can't go and say threaten activity. | ||
| Also, we have to make sure that again that getters not turned into the people don't try to manipulate it, whether it be from, say, an ISIS perspective, or the CCP coming in. | ||
| So we do make sure in preventing its bots, things like that, make sure that people don't try to use the platform as like a white nationalist recruiting ground. | ||
| So, when you come on, you want to talk about what's happening with the vaccines and the mandates. | ||
| You want to talk about what's going on with the election. | ||
| You want to talk about, unlike YouTube and Google, you want to talk about what's going on with climate issues. | ||
| You can come on and express yourself however you want. | ||
| No one's going to come in and say your political opinions don't matter. | ||
| But you can't do things that are illegal. | ||
| Let me ask you about, somebody told me that Twitter's got a lot of porn. | ||
| How do you guys handle porn? | ||
| So we have a no porn policy. | ||
| Does Twitter actually allow porn on there? | ||
| People tell me. | ||
| So they don't have that policy that you guys have? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| If you don't have algorithms, you have a group internally that monitors us? | ||
| How do you guys actually do it? | ||
| Yeah, so when you post... So you don't use algorithms? | ||
| We do not use algorithms. | ||
| And that's unlike Twitter and other places? | ||
| Yes, because if you go to Twitter, remember there was that big hubbub a couple years ago when Twitter changed up their format, and you can still switch it back to a linear, but where they go and suggest things. | ||
| So it might be, here's Jason who posted a minute ago, but then here's Joe Biden who posted 15 hours ago, and that pops up as the next one. | ||
| Ours is a linear system, and so we do not go – there's no manipulation as far as if you're following someone, you're going to see them in the timeframe they do. | ||
| Now if you want to go back and see who's interacted with you, whose comments, we have notifications so people can use it. | ||
| And so they can see if people have talked about them 10 hours ago or something of that nature. | ||
| But again, here's the thing. | ||
| Nobody is ever going to be sentenced to digital jail for expressing their political opinions. | ||
| We are the only place that is protecting that in a way that's also going to allow you to be on the, whether it be on the App Store or be on the Google Play Store, that's growing at the pace that we are. | ||
| Now, here's the other thing, Steve, and you made a really good point earlier. | ||
| I think it's great that there are additional platforms that are out there. | ||
| Because here's the thing, it keeps the fire under us to say we have to get better. | ||
| So one of the things we're going to roll out next month is our short video clip format that we're going to call Vision, Getter Vision. | ||
| So similar to TikTok or Instagram Reels, especially with the younger demographic, the kids I call them because now I'm an old man at 46, but the short video clips are really what's popular, especially with the… Bigger than Google. | ||
| Exactly, even literally bigger than that. | ||
| And then we'll come back and talk about what we're going to do this summer with the two-coin ecosystem that we're going to get into. | ||
| But again, here's a... Get or pay. | ||
| Get or pay. | ||
| The thing I want to make sure that people know, there's no such thing as shadow banning. | ||
| There's no such thing as getting de-platformed for your political beliefs. | ||
| Obviously, we're going to make sure there are no racial or religious epithets. | ||
| There are certain words that we're just... Look, if you want to do that, tell you what, you're not going to do it on Getter. | ||
| If you want to do that, go someplace else and do it. | ||
| It's a free country, go do it. | ||
| One thing I want to compliment is the Getter Live. | ||
| I've noticed even on the show, we put up Getter Live, and the thing is, you can watch the comments on the screen. | ||
| It's very powerful. | ||
| So, Harvey, your engineering group over there, bravo Zulu for doing that, because we really appreciate it. | ||
| And the live streaming. | ||
| Let's help the show go to the next level. | ||
| So, right now, the live streaming is, when we say beta, I mean that we're just phasing it in. | ||
| So, there are a couple dozen folks, your show, obviously we have people at Real America's Voice, Newsmax, others who are out doing it. | ||
| I will tell you, the way it's amplified things. | ||
| Even when Caelan Doerr and I did our Getty Awards last Saturday, we had 180,000 people watching. | ||
| We were watching, everybody was. | ||
| Bia Kicis, who's effectively the Chairman of the Judiciary in Brazil's Congress, she did an anti-mandate group livestream a couple nights ago. | ||
| She had 145,000. | ||
| I put something up for this French rally the other day. | ||
| It just went viral on Getter for the supporters throughout the world. | ||
| Real quickly, what's your Getter handle? | ||
| How can people get to you if they want to talk to you? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| At Jason Miller in D.C. | ||
| As folks will see, I interact with our users quite a bit. | ||
| And you have to. | ||
| That's the thing, because you get some great ideas, people flag, whether it be something that support may have missed, you got it. | ||
| At Jason Miller in D.C. | ||
| We're going to play your interview with the great one next hour. |
