Hi, welcome to another episode of Just Informed News.
I'm your host, Craig.
We have a lot to cover here today, including the major breaking news story about Joe Biden and his criminal family taking money from what we already knew, all these other foreign adversaries of the United States of America, how they're funneling it into his family's coffers so they can enrich themselves at our expense.
And it turns out the House Oversight Committee has come out today with this full report Detailing how they use these LLCs through China and other foreign adversaries to funnel bribes and money into Joe Biden's back pocket through his family members, all of which we know are corrupt as the day is long.
So we're going to get into that story.
There's a lot to unpack there.
I hope you guys are ready for it.
We're also going to be talking about Ijean Carroll, the lady who accused Trump of rape, but then it turns out She wasn't raped by Trump, according to a jury in New York City, but because Trump said he wasn't raped by her, she now is entitled to $5 million of his money?
I don't know how this all works.
We're gonna look at it.
And it's all a scam that the left-wing activists trying to unseat Trump from power and the ability to run for office in 2024.
have concocted and launched and are using against him as we speak.
We're going to look at that in its entirety.
It's pretty terrifying to every man in this country that some woman from 30 years ago could say that you raped her, and then all of a sudden you're on the hook for $5 million.
That's insane, even though it never happened, apparently, according to the jury and their verdict.
But we're going to get into that.
Plus, we're going to look at George Santos, a House representative who's being brought up on charges that he was involved with money, basically fraud.
And we're going to look at how that's all playing out and what that is really in relation to, in my opinion.
I told you guys in yesterday's video that the Hunter Biden charges were coming because they were covering up what the House Oversight Committee put out today And I thought that maybe today we would have some announcement of a, you know, tax evasion indictment on Hunter Biden to draw the to suck the wind out of the narrative, suck the wind out of the room when it comes to the narrative about This corruption that's being uncovered by the House Oversight Committee and the Biden crime family.
But turns out it was George Santos that they did today.
So I was wrong, but I was right.
So we're going to get into that plus a whole lot more.
So I hope you guys are ready.
With that being said, though, we got to take a second and thank the sponsor of this episode.

Noblegoldinvestments.com is the website.
And there's a link below in the description of this video if you want more information on that.
But with that being said, let's get into the first story here.
Biden family tried to hide over $10 million in foreign payments, according to House GOP.
House Republicans lay out evidence of a vast network of Biden family dealings, which reek of corruption, including the Biden family receiving and tried to hide over $10 million in payments from foreign nationals, previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments, Ties for Romanian influence peddling, a web of 20 LLCs created by Joe Biden while Joe Biden was vice president with a complicated corporate structure.
At least 15 of the LLCs were formed after Biden became vice president in 2009, several of which were owned or co-owned by Hunter.
These LLCs accepted payments ranging from $5,000 to $3 million.
The committee wants to know what the legitimate business the Biden family was in.
So we've known this for quite some time, and I think it's almost overdue, right?
I mean, at this point, how many years have we known?
That Joe Biden's corrupt.
He's been president, supposedly, for three years.
He's been president for three years.
Let that sink in.
And in that time, we've known all of this.
We had all this information the entire time.
Yet, somehow, someway, we're just now getting to the point where the House Oversight Committee is like, yeah, we should probably look at this.
So it begs the question, why now?
Why the timing is as such as it is?
That just always drives me crazy, because if we knew all this before, then why is it coming out now?
Well, I think it's all because our country is completely corrupt.
The DOJ is corrupt.
The whole system is completely out of touch with what it was meant to do and originally intended to do.
But let's just look at some of these stories.
They're crazy.
The Hunter or the Biden family using shell companies to enrich themselves.
Yes, this is what is detailed in these reports.
Let's watch this clip from the House Oversight Committee this morning.
Representative Comer coming out and explaining what they found.
Watch this.
The bank records show the Biden family, their associates and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and their companies.
Some of that money came from a Chinese company and went to Hunter Biden's company.
Other transfers occurred with the help of Rob Walker, who then sent it on to different Biden family members.
This is not how lawful businesses operate.
Chinese nationals affiliated with the Bidens created limited liability companies in the United States, and then in a short period of time, transferred their interest to a Chinese company that sent money to the Bidens.
Okay, and we knew this.
We've known this for how long now?
I mean, how long have I even just been here on the show saying, yes, China is paying Biden, they're bribing Biden, they're funneling money through his son into his pocket and his brother, and it's all, it was all laid out in that Marco Polo report that came out about the Hunter Biden laptop.
It was all detailed from since before the election in 2020, yet here we are 2023, years after the election, finally getting around to it.
This just shows you how corrupt and ineffective our government is in the first place.
These people are just doing this for politics and nothing more.
They don't really want to have anything happen to Joe Biden because at the end of the day, Joe Biden is not the only person in D.C.
taking bribes.
Half these people are either directly or indirectly taking money from some outside influence campaign, whether it's our foreign adversaries or, you know, these NGOs or whatever it is.
So I just look at these people and I think I'm still disgusted at how slow, ineffective and weak they are when it comes to fighting against this corruption.
I mean, talk about seditious conspiracies.
You have Joe Biden taking money through his family in these Nebulous LLCs that he's formed into a corporate structure that is essentially just a money laundering network for the bribes that he's taking in.
We've all known about it.
It's clear as day.
It's plain.
It's as simple as anybody could see it for what it is.
Yet here we are.
We're just finally getting to it.
But let's talk about the Biden crime family because it's not just Joe Biden.
He used his family to do all this and we've known all this again because of the Marco Polo report that came out and detailed all of this years ago.
But, they're coming out now, James Comer's identifying nine Bidens who are implicated in corruption.
So here's the list, according to Kennecoa the Great over on Twitter.
Hunter Biden, James Biden, that's his brother.
Sarah Biden, I think that's James' wife.
Haley Biden, she is the former wife of Beau Biden, who then went and had sex with Hunter Biden after Beau Biden died, and Beau Biden was Joe Biden's other son.
Kathleen Biden, Melissa Biden, I believe those are sisters, if I'm not mistaken, a niece, but two nieces or nephews, and a grandchild.
Now we can pretty safely say that the grandchild is most likely Naomi, and that the nieces are the other two younger girls who are the children of Hunter Biden, I believe, and Maybe Bo Biden's kids.
Either way, these people are basically putting money in their kids, their nieces and nephews' names, in their grandchildren's names, and that's how they're funneling the money back to themselves.
Well, you're surprised?
This is the same guy who we know, it documented evidence, it seems, that was released widely throughout the Internet, had His own daughter, Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, detail in her diary about how she was sexualized at a young age, and how she was having sex with all of her friends at a young age, and how she was probably sexually abused by her father with inappropriate showers that she remembers vividly, or recalls in her diary.
The same diary, by the way, that was not only seemingly proven to be true and real, but then they went after Project Veritas and actually had the FBI kick down the door, essentially, of private investigative reporters who went out to find this in the first place, and they didn't even publish it.
They didn't even publish the actual diary itself, but they still went after them.
And so if that's not bad enough, on top of all that, you have the text messages that were outlined in the Marco Polo report on the Hunter Biden laptop, which we know is real now, which we're going to talk about how the CIA was working.
We have proof now, almost irrefutable proof, that the CIA was working to cover that up.
But Where Naomi Biden, the youngest niece, I believe, of Hunter Biden, his brother Beau's daughter, I believe, the family wanted to keep Hunter away from her because he was sexualizing her and probably abusing her.
And so this is like, you know, you start to see a pattern here when you actually unpack all of this.
But, you know, let's just hear what Jim Jordan has to say about this.
And let's get some more context on what the House Oversight Committee is going into.
Watch this.
There are 170 suspicious activity reports, thousands of pages of bank records, 20 LLCs that the Biden family formed that got all kinds of money, millions of dollars from foreign entities.
That money was paid to multiple people in the Biden family.
Joe's brother, his son, his sister-in-law, his daughter-in-law, paid to all kinds of people in the Biden family.
And again, as we've talked about before, Sean, the fundamental question is, what did they do to warrant receipt of the money?
What service did they provide?
What value did they add?
What business did they actually run?
What were they doing?
No one seems to be able to answer that question.
I know what they were doing.
They were funneling bribes to their father.
But here's Nancy Mace, Republican House Representative from South Carolina, explaining in detail how this is all connected to the Chinese communists and other things.
This is a very important clip, and then we'll talk about it in detail.
We have some outlines from the House Oversight.
They put out a bunch of graphs and charts showing how this is all happening.
Watch this.
What we're proving to you today is showing you actual bank records, actual evidence of shell companies and businesses.
There are more businesses and more Bidens involved than we knew of.
You have to issue more subpoenas because every time we turn over a rock, there's more information.
There's more possible corruption.
There's more...
Possible allegations that need to be investigated.
This is what we know today.
Money flowed from the Chinese Communist Party, aligned with individuals into American shell companies, and then that money was wired and transferred to Biden family members.
This could be the most corrupt scheme in American politics where a sitting vice president, where we saw members of his family, nine members so far, there may be more, that were enriched from countries all over the world.
And we're providing more information about Romania today.
We know about China.
We know that the president denied this during an election in 2020, continues to deny it to this day.
And we want everyone held accountable if they have They have violated their oath of office.
We shouldn't have folks that are in office that are betraying their oath of office.
We shouldn't have people in office that are betraying their country.
If they're paying loads of cash to their family members from adversaries of ours around the world, it's wrong.
Whether you have a Republican or a Democrat by your name.
And we saw evidence of intentionally taking steps to hide the sources of money coming directly from China through a series of financial gymnastics.
Joe Biden's political career was winding down at the time, and this was one of the Biden family's last chances to cash in on the name.
We have evidence of Chairman Yi Jingming, who is believed to be affiliated with Chinese Communist Party intelligence organizations and has even been accused of gathering intel for Communist China.
Yi started CEFC in China.
His agent in America, Gong Wendong, which Andy Biggs mentioned earlier, formed Okay, so that's just a little bit of what they were outlining here, and it's actually outlined further on these tweets that I'll put a link below where they talk about how the Bidens took steps to hide, confuse, and conceal payments they received from foreign nationals.
Here's one example of how CCP-linked associate-layered domestic limited liability companies to pay Hunter Biden.
You can see it's all outlined very clearly here.
May of 2017, the CEFC that he was working with, basically has this infrastructure that they lay down, they put Guang Wen Dong involved, and then the CEFC basically sends money to this group.
And that's how it all funnels down to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
And here's kind of another breakdown of how that all works.
It goes from China, this Chairman Yee, to this Hudson Group, and then it all kind of dissects down where you have diamonds and you have cash infusions being given to Hunter Biden, James Biden, Haley Biden, and other Bidens as well.
And this is like...
Just to give you the tip of the iceberg here.
This is not even really like the full detail report.
I mean, you go read the Marco Polo report, and it's even more detailed than this.
But this is just outlining how they use these LLCs to essentially funnel the bribes to Joe Biden, which we have proof of now.
So is there anybody at the FBI who's going to arrest Joe Biden or arrest Hunter Biden or arrest Haley Biden or arrest, you know, James Biden or Sarah Biden or any of these other Bidens who are like taking money from our adversaries and enriching themselves for political favors and deeds?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
But we're going to go after the proud boys and get them on seditious conspiracy.
I got a seditious conspiracy for you.
How about the fact that a sitting president is taking bribes from our foreign adversaries And orchestrating the full-scale destruction of America from within after he was installed by intelligence services.
Through a coup and a color revolution in the United States of America.
How's that for a seditious conspiracy?
FBI?
Anybody in law enforcement?
Anybody at the DOJ?
How about you do something?
But then again, that is expecting almost too much.
So...
One thing I'm going to talk about here now is the fact there's a complete and total media blackout.
Paul Sperry writing over on Twitter saying, CNN, MSNBC, as well as C-SPAN have all blacked out this morning's press conference by the House Oversight Committee on Biden Family Corruption.
Only Fox is covering it.
House Oversight blew an opportunity at this morning's press conference to graphically display the flow of funds through Biden Family and Chinese LLC.
Instead of pointing to charts and graphs, the panel trotted out GOP members to orally stumble through confusing web cutouts C-SPAN has declined to cover the House Oversight Committee press conference this morning on Biden family influence peddling and money laundering on C-SPAN, C-SPAN 2, or C-SPAN 3, and instead covered a press appearance on the debt ceiling by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
So C-SPAN, which is supposed to be like this objective government-sponsored network where we're just supposed to be able to watch what's happening in Congress, is essentially At this very point right now...
Blacking it out.
Along with the other major networks, CNN, MSNBC, they're not even talking about this.
So what does this remind you of?
Well, it reminds me of everything that we saw happen surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop.
And that brings us to this story, which I think is wildly important.
CIA operatives aided in Hunter Biden laptop coverup.
Congress reveals massive China-linked influence peddling scheme.
So Rahim Kassam has gone over in detail here with Jack Montgomery this Basically what came out today, but then on top of it, we have these reports coming out that seem to show that the CIA was directly involved with covering up the Hunter Biden laptop.
And how do I know that?
Well, let's look at the proof here.
Wow.
Absolute proof.
The CIA worked to rig the 2020 presidential election alongside with the media.
What is this?
Well, it's a letter from Nick Shapiro to Andrew Bates.
So this is a letter.
That was sent out to the fake news, trying to get them to cover this story says, this is what I gave them.
Okay, here you go.
Giving this to you exclusively.
First, if you guys want to run with it, then we'll get in.
Remember, this is Nick Shapiro, the former CIA deputy chief of staff and senior advisor to the director here saying, This is exclusively given to you first to run with, then we'll give it to others once you post.
You can also use this on the record from me, Nick Shapiro, former CIA Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to the Director, describing what this is.
Quote, a large group of former career intelligence officers, many specializing in Russia, joined by a group of former intelligence community leaders, are all saying that they believe the Russians were somehow involved here.
The intelligence community, this is referring to the Hunter Biden laptop, who have signed this letter, worked for the past four presidents, including Trump.
The real power here, however, is the number of former working-level intelligence community officers who want the American people to know that once again, the Russians are interfering.
Listen to what it says off the record.
It says, off the record, we are not making a call on whether the materials are true or not, just that we believe Moscow played a role in getting the information out.
Oh, well that would have been great context for, I don't know, the story before the election.
On background, it says, we did not speculate on how exactly the Russians played in this particular case because there are so many different possibilities.
It says here as a note after apparently not receiving a favorable response with this Associated Press reporter that's being written to here, Shapiro sent the letter later sent the letter the email to the public statement, or with the public statement to Politico about an hour later, and Politico, of course, eventually published the story.
Think about what that is.
You have literally former CIA Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor, the Director of the CIA, writing planting essentially a story with the Associated Press or trying to and then Politico, where he says that this large group of people think it was Russian disinformation.
But then off the record, he's telling them, we're not saying that this is real or not.
We're just saying the Russians are probably involved somehow.
Interfere in elections much?
Hmm.
Well, no, no big deal.
Because that's just, you know, that's how our country operates now.
So I guess it's just, you know, Speaking of corruption, George Santos has been arrested, charged with wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and lying.
So George Santos, I haven't really been following him too much.
He's kind of a weird congressman out of New York.
Very much just a strange character, if you will.
But he's being basically put up on charges.
And Emerald Robinson points something out about this, which is fascinating.
It says it took the DOJ a few weeks to charge Representative George Santos with crimes, but investigations into Hunter Biden's laptop are now in year four because the DOJ is simply the armed wing of the DNC, Well, isn't that about as true as it gets?
And not only that, but you have here Derek Myers, who's apparently a journalist.
And he's, you know, somebody over here on Twitter who used to apparently work for Congressman George Santos.
He's come out and says now, I can publicly confirm that during my brief time in the Congressman's office, I had met secretly with agents from the FBI in an effort to work as a confidential informant and human asset against the Congressman during my course of employment in his office.
The FBI is running CI, criminal informants, inside of U.S.
Congressmen's offices as we speak.
Yet they're not arresting Joe Biden and his corrupt family.
This is like, talk about taking crazy pills.
Everything that I basically have put out there to you has essentially come true in some form or fashion, especially with this story.
I told you yesterday, I said in no uncertain terms, I said, look, they're going to come out with this report on Wednesday.
They're going to basically outline how Joe Biden's been taking bribes from foreign adversaries.
And exactly what happened, I said was going to happen, happened.
But, far be it from me to sit here and say I told you so.
All right, so in other news, let's talk about what's going on here.
Molotov cocktail discovered at vigil for Jordan Neely in New York City.
You know Jordan Neely was the guy who was choked to death on the subway.
Terrible tragic story, but of course this is going to be the catalyst for the next BLM riots, which are going to be used to extort the American public in the next election, so keep an eye out for that.
Trump accuser Ijean Carroll hits media circuit saying that she forgot to disclose that the Democrat donor funding her case was just so happen to be a major Democrat donor.
No big deal.
Greg Price says it perfectly.
Democrat mega donor Reid Hoffman is currently funding the lawsuit filed by Ijean Carroll accusing President Trump of rape.
She once said rape is sexy on TV.
He visited Epstein Island in 2014 after it was already revealed he was a sexual predator.
They always accuse Trump of what they're guilty of.
Let's listen to this incredible admission, right?
She had a deposition, she was put under oath, and she essentially lied and said that this guy, who's a major Democrat donor and former Epstein friend, wasn't
funding her lawsuit when in fact he was to the tune of like six hundred thousand dollars you can't make this stuff up watch this cnn interview and tell me if you can spot what's what's not right about all this watches uh... another thing that he and his lawyers have often spoken about is the the lack of disclosure about a big democratic donor funding part of this case was there a reason it wasn't disclosed?
Did you view this as political in any way?
No uh... I just completely I just completely forgot that he even existed.
In your deposition?
Yes, in my deposition.
Because Trump lawyers have called that, Roberta, a sign of bias.
It raises questions about the motives of bringing this case, and I wonder what the reaction is.
So every single witness, every one of those 11 witnesses who testified in this case, testified under oath and told the truth, not because they don't like Trump, but because it was the truth.
That's what this case was about.
Alright, so I don't know if you guys caught the several things that were wrong with that statement.
the truth.
And there may be witnesses who don't like Trump.
There may have been jurors, as Joe Takapina said in his opening, who don't like Trump.
But that process was about the truth under the law, and that's what the jury found.
All right.
So I don't know if you guys caught the several things that were wrong with that statement.
First of all, she just forgot that a super mega rich Democrat donor was funding her case to the tune of like $600,000.
That just slipped her mind during her deposition, so no big deal.
It's not like that would have had some impact maybe on the trial itself and how the jury would rule.
Yeah, that probably just didn't matter at all.
Then on top of it, the lady, I love the lady with her there, I think that's her lawyer, who's saying like, No, it wasn't like everybody hated Trump and they just said that, you know, the stuff, it's about the truth.
And then she goes on after that to say, well, they might have hated Trump, the jury might have hated Trump, and you know, the witnesses might have hated Trump, but it's just about the truth.
What don't you get?
And you're like, wait, what?
And then on top of that they're acting like the jury ruled that Trump raped her when the jury ruled in fact the exact opposite that Trump didn't rape her and that because Trump said some mean things about her when she accused him of rape that that somehow entitles her to $5 million for sexual abuse or whatever you want to call it, you know, verbal abuse or defamation.
This is insanity, and it only gets crazier.
Watch this clip where essentially we get more information about this where she essentially admits that she was involved with crafting the New York state law that allowed her to sue Trump for a crime that she alleges happened 30 years ago which before this law was passed, the statute of limitations would have never allowed her to sue him for.
I mean, this is insanity.
This is insanity.
This is insanity.
Watch this.
And something that I think is really important in all of this, and it's the fact that New York passed this law.
Yeah.
The Adult Survivors Act.
They passed it just a few years ago.
Were it not for that law, you never would have been able to bring this case.
And I just think it speaks to the importance for a lot of other survivors.
Exactly.
This would never, I would never have this window, this year, of having the ability to bring a lawsuit for rape.
Robbie can explain it better.
Well, EJ actually helped to get that law passed.
It passed last year.
We filed, it was Thanksgiving Day, it was the first day you could sue.
We filed it just after midnight on Thanksgiving.
Did you catch it?
Yeah, he actually helped get that law passed that would have that allowed her to sue him for a crime that they the jury came out and said never happened.
And that she's it's like, this is the definition of the destruction of our democracy.
It is crumbling all around us.
Because these psychopaths are the inmates are running the asylum, right?
Here's Trump's response to the whole thing.
Let's hear what he has to say.
What can you expect from a Trump-hating, Clinton-appointed judge who went out of his way to make sure that the result of this trial was as negative as it could possibly be, speaking to and in control of a jury from an anti-Trump area, which is probably the worst place in the United States for me to get a fair trial.
We'll be appealing this decision.
It's a disgrace.
I don't even know who this woman is.
I have no idea who she is, where she came from.
This is another scam.
It's a political witch hunt.
And somehow we're going to have to fight this stuff.
We cannot let our country go into this abyss.
This is disgraceful.
You have somebody running for office.
You have a woman that's financed and lied about it.
She totally lied about it.
by Democrat operatives, like just about the biggest one there is, and she said that wasn't true.
They found that she lied about it, and the judge wasn't even, I guess, letting it be put in as evidence.
The whole thing is a scam, and it's a shame, and it's a disgrace to our country.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how else you can... I agree with Trump 100%.
I mean, he's right.
It's all a scam.
It's all a hoax.
It's all just meant to destroy our country, but they're going to keep going.
Now they've launched another Ministry of Truth, just to give you a better context of where we're at now.
This time, it's called the Foreign Malign Influence Center, which has been around for a while now, but it was just brought up in a hearing recently, where it's talking about how they're going to be operating this to counter, basically, disinformation and misinformation and malign information that will be securing our elections.
Now they have another Ministry of Truth in America.
And if you want to know how all this works, there's a great right up here over on Zero Hedge.
I'll leave a link to it below.
But it talks about the censorship industrial complex, talking about the top 50 organizations that you need to know to understand how this all works.
And there's actually a great graph, but you read the report and it gives you a lot of great insight.
But it talks about how government is connected to these foundations that are connected to these big techs and NGOs that then connect to the fact checkers and the think tanks and the academic initiatives and the for-profit companies that all work in tandem to make this censorship industrial complex that essentially restricts what you can and can't see.
And so if you want a great example of this and how it all works, just look at what's happening to Tucker Carlson right now as we speak.
Watch the way that the media reacts to him announcing, we're going to watch a video where he made an announcement that he's going to be launching his own set of independent content on Twitter.
This is the reaction they got.
First off, we have this reaction from NBC, their reporter coming out and saying that, will anybody be able to police what Carlson says?
Or is this the point?
Is it just a free for all?
Nope.
See, can you imagine?
I mean, being that disgustingly corrupt and just, you know, unaware, hypocritically unaware of your own corruption, where you have these reporters, supposedly reporters, in a country where, you know, they should be, you know, the first advocates for like the First Amendment and free speech, going on TV, I mean, these are regime puppets anyway.
These are just propagandists, so we should take everything they say with a grain of salt or just ignore it mostly entirely.
But they come out and they say, will anybody police what Carlson has to say?
Where are the thought police?
Where are the people who are going to shut down free speech?
Well, that's one reaction.
As CNN goes a little further, calling Tucker Carlson a right-wing extremist about when he said that he, in talking about how he will relaunch his program on Twitter.
This is what right-wing extremism looks like.
Let's watch Tucker Carlson explain right-wing extremism to everybody out there who is wondering.
Watch this.
Worth watching.
Hey, it's Tucker Carlson.
You often hear people say the news is full of lies.
But most of the time, that's not exactly right.
Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the literal sense.
You could pass one of the media's own fact checks.
Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it.
In fact, they may have.
But that doesn't make it true.
It's not true.
At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie.
A lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind.
Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective.
You are being manipulated.
How does that work?
Let's see.
If I tell you that a man has been unjustly arrested for armed robbery, that is not, strictly speaking, a lie.
He may have been framed.
At this point, there's been no trial, so no one can really say.
But if I don't mention the fact that the same man has been arrested for the same crime six times before, am I really informing you?
No, I'm not.
I'm misleading you.
And that's what the news media are doing in every story that matters, every day of the week, every week of the year.
What's it like to work in a system like that?
After more than 30 years in the middle of it, we could tell you stories.
The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can.
But there are always limits.
And you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it.
That's not a guess.
It's guaranteed.
Every person who works in English-language media understands that.
The rule of what you can't say defines everything.
It's filthy, really, and it's utterly corrupting.
You can't have a free society if people aren't allowed to say what they think is true.
Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy.
That's why it's enshrined in the first of our constitutional amendments.
Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren't many platforms left that allow free speech.
The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.
Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops.
Twitter is not a partisan site.
Everybody's allowed here, and we think that's a good thing.
And yet, for the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets.
You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter.
The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge.
We think that's a bad system.
We know exactly how it works, and we're sick of it.
Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.
We bring some other things, too, which we'll tell you about.
But for now, we're just grateful to be here.
Free speech is the main right that you have.
Without it, you have no others.
See you soon.
All right, so look, I agree with Tucker on 99% of what he said there, but the fact that he says that Twitter is really like the free speech site, I think that's a joke and that's a lie.
Even my account hasn't been reinstated on Twitter.
I know several other people, content creators who I follow and have followed for years, their accounts haven't been reinstated.
And every time I appeal it, they say, no, your account violated our terms of service.
Still, with Elon Musk and his free speech brigade, because he's so about free speech, right?
Well, he's not about free speech.
Now, granted, I am able to have a new account on there, but I'm saying my old account is not being reinstated and hasn't been reinstated, even though I've appealed it several times before and after Elon Musk took over.
So I don't think Twitter is the bastion of free speech.
I think something closer, really, true free speech is maybe like Gab, but free speech is something that is very difficult to put, you know, to kind of Pin down to one thing or the other, because it is so broad and all encompassing.
So, you know, take it all with a grain of salt, but that's pretty much where we're going to leave it.
