=== Great Platform Shift (02:19) ===

[00:00:00]  I mean, I look today at what happened at Twitter.
[00:00:02]  I don't believe Elon thought they were doing that much.
[00:00:05]  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.
[00:00:12]  Well, you know what's interesting with Twitter?
[00:00:13]  It was sort of amazing, because it came back.
[00:00:15]  We have Truth Social, and it's been a great platform to say what you want.
[00:00:19]  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.
[00:00:25]  When he even started talking about the takeover, it's like they were burning the documents.
[00:00:30]  My engagement went through the roof, the files went through, you know.
[00:00:32]  You had no growth and all of a sudden- I had no growth for years.
[00:00:36]  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.
[00:00:40]  Well, how do you know? It's like, because yesterday I was getting 10,000 retweets and today I'm getting three.
[00:00:44]  Like not 3,000, like three, single digit.
[00:00:47]  And you knew it and it was obvious.
[00:00:49]  Then he took over. And for like two months, I was getting great growth and engagement.
[00:00:52]  But it does seem like, and again, I don't know if he's maybe not as focused on it.
[00:00:55]  Yeah. But that engagement and the engagement of a lot of other conservative accounts has gone back down to like pre-Elon levels.
[00:01:02]  Yeah, we got to watch. We got to see it.
[00:01:03]  I'll talk to him. I mean, it's interesting just because it felt great to have a free speech platform.
[00:01:08]  And we have like an actual competitor.
[00:01:10]  And I stay on the platform because I want to engage.
[00:01:12]  Well, I see the engagement. I don't want to ever seed one of these platforms.
[00:01:15]  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.
[00:01:22]  It's just people are passionate about it.
[00:01:25]  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%.
[00:01:31]  You see it in the donations, and so...
[00:01:33]  And he's seen that. He's been able to change it.
[00:01:35]  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.
[00:01:42]  I'll even take a little disadvantage because by nature of the following, I'm already at a disadvantage.
[00:01:47]  But, like, that seems to have gone back down to almost worse.
[00:01:50]  There's guys like Andy.
[00:01:51]  Yeah. Like, he'll tell you, like, it's worse for him than pre-U.R. days, which is odd.
[00:01:56]  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.
[00:02:02]  But what we find is what we're doing with this weaponization.

=== Church Committee Revelations (01:12) ===

[00:02:05]  This is a committee that people would call the church committee after a former senator.
[00:02:08]  Explain that. I heard church committee.
[00:02:10]  I didn't even know what it was. It sounds like religious rites.
[00:02:13]  Yeah, no.
[00:02:14]  It's named after a senator back in the 70s.
[00:02:17]  And what happened, we didn't have the Intel Committee back then.
[00:02:19]  And the Intel Committee's responsibility is to oversee all the FBI, the CIA, all these agencies, right?
[00:02:27]  Before, they were just running wild.
[00:02:29]  So they create this church committee.
[00:02:31]  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.
[00:02:37]  We've got to rein them in.
[00:02:39]  And part of after they rein them in, they say, we need this committee.
[00:02:42]  Well, now we've watched what happened again.
[00:02:44]  We... You didn't fully believe that it was all happening.
[00:02:46]  You know, when Devin would come tell me, he said, oh yeah, that's right, but maybe you're a little far.
[00:02:49]  No, it's worse than what they told you.
[00:02:51]  I was a victim of it.
[00:02:53]  I don't want to use the word victims.
[00:02:54]  I hate that mentality.
[00:02:55]  But like, I was a target of it.
[00:02:57]  And I still was like, well, it can't be this bad.
[00:02:59]  And it is. I mean, they literally just arrested the FBI agent that was one of the leads of Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
[00:03:06]  Being paid by Russian oligarchs.
[00:03:08]  For colluding with Russia.
[00:03:10]  Yeah. I mean... You can't make this up.
[00:03:12]  Typical of the, you know, the Saul Alinsky, you know, rules for radicals.
[00:03:15]  Like, accuse them of doing all the things you're doing.
