| I mean, I look today at what happened at Twitter. | |
| I don't believe Elon thought they were doing that much. | |
| Now he gets in the middle of Twitter, and all he's doing is releasing the information, and now people are trying to vilify him. | |
| Well, you know what's interesting with Twitter? | |
| It was sort of amazing, because it came back. | |
| We have Truth Social, and it's been a great platform to say what you want. | |
| But Twitter, I actually like being in that fight because I'm sort of adversarial, and that's what I do, and that's sort of made a reputation of it. | |
| When he even started talking about the takeover, it's like they were burning the documents. | |
| My engagement went through the roof, the files went through, you know. | |
| You had no growth and all of a sudden- I had no growth for years. | |
| I was getting, and they were like, you know, four years ago, I'd say, listen, they're screwing with the algorithm, they're messing up. | |
| Well, how do you know? It's like, because yesterday I was getting 10,000 retweets and today I'm getting three. | |
| Like not 3,000, like three, single digit. | |
| And you knew it and it was obvious. | |
| Then he took over. And for like two months, I was getting great growth and engagement. | |
| But it does seem like, and again, I don't know if he's maybe not as focused on it. | |
| Yeah. But that engagement and the engagement of a lot of other conservative accounts has gone back down to like pre-Elon levels. | |
| Yeah, we got to watch. We got to see it. | |
| I'll talk to him. I mean, it's interesting just because it felt great to have a free speech platform. | |
| And we have like an actual competitor. | |
| And I stay on the platform because I want to engage. | |
| Well, I see the engagement. I don't want to ever seed one of these platforms. | |
| Yeah, you want to be... Well, when I talk to Devin over at The Truth, you can see the engagement is greater than any other platform that you have. | |
| It's just people are passionate about it. | |
| This is where they want to go. Yeah, and they may have changed a policy, but the reality, the employees at Twitter are still going to be 99%. | |
| You see it in the donations, and so... | |
| And he's seen that. He's been able to change it. | |
| I hope they recognize that because all the guys that were actually, if I say even excited about what was going on, like, hey, just give me a chance to compete on a level playing field. | |
| I'll even take a little disadvantage because by nature of the following, I'm already at a disadvantage. | |
| But, like, that seems to have gone back down to almost worse. | |
| There's guys like Andy. | |
| Yeah. Like, he'll tell you, like, it's worse for him than pre-U.R. days, which is odd. | |
| We'll have to see because he must not know about that because he's really changed so much to be able to come out and attack. | |
| But what we find is what we're doing with this weaponization. | |
| This is a committee that people would call the church committee after a former senator. | |
| Explain that. I heard church committee. | |
| I didn't even know what it was. It sounds like religious rites. | |
| Yeah, no. | |
| It's named after a senator back in the 70s. | |
| And what happened, we didn't have the Intel Committee back then. | |
| And the Intel Committee's responsibility is to oversee all the FBI, the CIA, all these agencies, right? | |
| Before, they were just running wild. | |
| So they create this church committee. | |
| That's back, by the way. Yeah. And they go back and they look, hey, these guys are doing all this stuff in other countries, everywhere else in here. | |
| We've got to rein them in. | |
| And part of after they rein them in, they say, we need this committee. | |
| Well, now we've watched what happened again. | |
| We... You didn't fully believe that it was all happening. | |
| You know, when Devin would come tell me, he said, oh yeah, that's right, but maybe you're a little far. | |
| No, it's worse than what they told you. | |
| I was a victim of it. | |
| I don't want to use the word victims. | |
| I hate that mentality. | |
| But like, I was a target of it. | |
| And I still was like, well, it can't be this bad. | |
| And it is. I mean, they literally just arrested the FBI agent that was one of the leads of Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. | |
| Being paid by Russian oligarchs. | |
| For colluding with Russia. | |
| Yeah. I mean... You can't make this up. | |
| Typical of the, you know, the Saul Alinsky, you know, rules for radicals. | |
| Like, accuse them of doing all the things you're doing. |
