This is the most important issue there is.
This is the most important issue there is.
Free speech.
Let me just say it.
In a free and an open society, we get to say anything.
Let's start off with this word, this term.
We get to say anything.
Anything.
Now, are there exceptions?
Of course there are exceptions.
Libel, slander, exposition or exposing of trade secrets, things that affect national security.
But that doesn't mean that a platform shuts you down.
It shuts down types of speech.
Now, Elon Musk is saying he wants Donald Trump back, which is good, but not...
Alex Jones.
And the reason why is because Alex Jones has caused trouble and harm, and he has said terrible things, denying the death of children in shootings, and he is a despicable human being.
Okay, then let the courts handle that, as they have.
Let the families address this as they have.
Let other people do whatever they want to best address this, but you don't stop him from being able to speak.
That's not your job.
The phone company doesn't shut Alex Jones down because what he says is horrible.
He doesn't pick up his Verizon or T-Mobile or whatever it is and say, hey!
I can't.
My phone doesn't work.
That's right.
We kicked you off because you're despicable.
Excuse me.
You're the phone company.
Well, maybe, but...
Social media are utilities.
Period.
And if you don't like him, don't listen to him.
I don't even know what he said.
I never heard it.
I don't know what he said.
I don't know if he said anything.
I don't know what he said.
He was sued for a gajillion dollars.
He never put on a defense in court because he defaulted according to a number of courts.
He didn't comply with certain pretrial rules.
Consequently, he defaulted and...
That means, interestingly enough, that it goes straight to damages.
So I don't know what he said.
I don't know if he apologized what he said.
I don't know.
I don't care.
Twitter let him on.
That's simple.
If you say something, then let's address the speech.
You don't tell somebody you can never say anything again.
It doesn't make any sense.
Is there anything on Twitter that prevents Hitler speeches?
No.
Wait a minute.
You let Hitler speeches?
Oh yeah.
Well that's history.
Wait a minute.
What?
Hitler, Goebbels, Yodel, Hess?
Are you kidding me?
You can go in the public library.
Or library.
And get Mein Kampf.
No problem.
What?
But not Alex Jones?
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
That's absurd.
That doesn't make any sense.
Yes, but Alex Jones said some terrible things.
Hitler said terrible things.
Hitler...
Dead.
Terrible things.
He's still inspiring.
I don't want to cut Hitler out of the picture either.
You don't limit speech.
Except for certain.
And you limit, not ban completely.
What is the matter with us?
We love to sit there and see who can be more upset over the fact.
I don't care whether you like Alex Jones.
I don't know what he said.
I didn't hear it.
I don't listen.
I didn't hear it.
So what?
Handle it the way you do other people.
What about the kids?
What about pictures?
What about people?
Kids!
They've got pictures of kids whose parents are saying, you've got pictures of my kids involved in CSAM, child sexual abuse material, on various media, Twitter and otherwise.
What about that?
That's a different story.
That's a crime scene.
We don't even get to that one.
No, but we want to talk to about people that we just don't like.
We don't like Alex Jones because he's...
We love this idea of saying, well, you know, hate speech inspires stuff.
This is ridiculous.
And Elon Musk, you're letting me down.
You're playing these games.
Okay, you can come back and you can't.
What do we have to do?
What are you, the doorman at Studio 54?
Is that it?
You got the velvet rope?
Okay, you can come in, but you can't.
Okay, what about you?
Okay, James O 'Keefe.
Alright, you're okay.
You're okay.
What about you?
You babble on me?
Okay, come on, come on.
Alex Jones?
No.
No.
Trump?
Okay, Trump.
What is this?
What is this?
I don't understand this.
BLM is on?
Antifa's on?
Racist, vile, horrible...
So what?
Let them say it.
Let people talk.
Don't act on it.
Hate speech is protected.
It's thought.
Hate speech.
That's what you call it.
You can hate certain people.
You can hate...
It's okay to hate the Russians, right?
It's okay to hate Putin.
It's okay to hate...
Say whatever you want.
You can even lie.
You can distort.
Just don't act on it.
Speech, thought, ideation, motivation, completely okay.
Now, how do we handle it?
We handle it.
We handle it the way we normally handle it.
We just say, that's it.
We love to wring our hands.
Oh, Kanye said this.
It was anti-Semitic.
Well, what did we do?
Well, what did we...
What do you want to do?
Now, if a private industry wants to shut him down, if Adidas says we don't want to sell him, okay, fine.
Okay, whatever.
That's your call.
You don't want to be associated with, you know, you know, Lester Maddox was probably not a good product placement either.
Okay, fine.
That's different.
But everybody loves it.
Well, the reason why that's different.
Oh, here comes Jon Stewart.
Ooh, let's dust off these comedians so they can explain to us.
Well, see, what Dave Chappelle did was, would you shut up?
It was a routine.
Let them talk.
If you don't want to watch Dave Chappelle, turn it off.
I don't care.
Hashtag, so what?
I've heard everything.
And anything that you say is not going to motivate.
People to do things.
Let's take a moment for a minute.
I get very upset about this.
I get very upset.
We're going to lose our speech.
I'm constantly being told, don't say that.
Don't say that.
Let's get down to business.
First, like this video.
Subscribe to this video.
Hit the little bells so you're notified of new videos.
That's number one.
Number two.
January 14th at the Cutting Room.
Did you get tickets yet for this?
This is going to be a barn burner.
This is a chance for us to get together and say, wait a minute.
We're going to be speaking that night about that which we believe in.
That which we care about.
That which we We just want to talk about it.
And that is called free speech.
And the chance for you and me to get together and to speak like nobody does.
Not stand-up comedy, not whatever it is, but interactive.
Oh, you're going to laugh.
Oh, you're going to be entertained because if you think this is good, you ain't seen nothing yet.
So you are going to join me.
Listen to what I'm saying.
You're going to join me.
On January the 14th, January 14th, at the cutting room here in New York City.
That's what you're going to do.
It's that simple.
Very, very simple.
And I'll even put this up for you right now.
This particular piece.
We have no masks, no nothing.
That's it.
Right there.
And these people keep talking about, oh, the crime is...
Have you...
New York is bustling.
This is Christmas.
You should see now.
They love to scare you constantly.
January 14th.
That's what we're going to do.
Now, speaking of great stocking stuffers, two things you can do.
Number one, Lionel merch.
Oh, it's perfect.
Go to our merchandise catalog.
It's fantastic.
There's a link here on YouTube.
You can see in the channel piece.
And this.
Have you seen My Patriot Supply?
I haven't shown you this.
Look at this.
You're going to love this.
This is just one of these things.
Check these babies out.
Look at this thing.
Look at this monster.
This is the 72-hour kit.
Look at this.
This is just one of these.
This one has mac and cheese.
We pulled some out.
Gave them to some folks.
This is Maple Grove Oatmeal.
Oh, this is phenomenal.
This is, right now, this is up to a 25-year shelf life.
And by the way, I think we've got more home-style potato soup.
We've got more mac and cheese.
This is a 72-hour kit.
This is 25 years.
Instructions.
This is in case...
By the way, we've tried this.
This is what we give.
You're not going to believe this.
People love this for gifts.
Go to preparewithlionel.com.
Preparewithlionel.com.
You want to talk about something which is so unique, give them this.
What do you need to give somebody?
What, a wreath?
Oh, that's good.
I mean, it's nice.
Maybe some macaroons versus macarons.
The word people mispronounce.
Go to preparewithlionel.com.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Imagine there's a world, very soon, where there's no stores.
Where everything's shut down.
From Costco, to this, to Acme, to Piggly Wiggly, to Kroger's, to whatever it is, they shut down.
Or you walk in, but the shelves are empty because of supply breakdown, or because of a strike, or because of...
Diesel fuel.
Or because of another war.
Who knows?
Or one little glitch.
One little interruption.
One hiccup that gets it all going.
This is the greatest stuff.
Top quality.
Stackable.
Storable.
Perfect.
I've got a friend of mine.
He buys this like ammo.
You should see his garage.
I mean, it's just...
It's incredible.
And it's very modular.
It's beautiful the way it all stacks up.
It makes complete and total sense.
And he says, you know what?
I hope I never use it.
I hope I never need it.
Now the problem with this is when you get it, people break it open and they say, can I use it now?
I say, well, you can, but this is good.
Well, great!
But, you know, you should wait, but...
PrepareWithLionel.com Not too long ago, people used to laugh at this.
I don't know why.
It was part of the thing where people just love to say, well, it's a conspiracy theory.
I don't know why they get off on this.
Really?
Did you think toilet paper runs were a conspiracy theory?
Well, that's different.
Why is that different?
Did you think that you couldn't buy hand sanitizer?
Look what happens when there's a snowstorm.
Bread and milk, they clear.
They clear that she...
Anyway, you know the routine.
I shouldn't treat you like you're a child.
I keep forgetting.
You're smart.
You're enlightened.
You understand it.
Preparewithlinel.com The information is right there.
Preparewithlinel.com Preparewithlinel.com Now let me go back to this.
I don't care if you don't like Alex Jones.
I don't care.
That's not the issue.
You're an American.
You should stand up and say, everybody speaks everywhere.
Everywhere.
Let me say this again.
There's no debate to this.
And Elon Musk is playing these games where you say, well, I'm, you know...
And you're confusing the issue.
We're not justifying what Alex Jones said.
And again, to this day, so help me God.
I don't know what he said.
I think he denied it, and then maybe he apologized.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I never understood the whole idea about denying shootings.
Because somebody's going to say, here, let me show you something.
Here's a picture.
Look at this.
We got this.
We got this.
Look at this picture.
You got that one?
Here.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Want to see this?
Where is this debate?
Here's a funeral.
This is a picture of the funeral that we went to.
This is the casket.
What are we, making this up?
Do you think this is all a part of something, what, some design?
I don't understand this.
This is the easiest thing to prove.
Of all the things in the world that you're denying, why are you denying this?
How did you deny this?
How are you not overwhelmed with the evidence?
I don't know the first thing about it.
But if you want to deny it, go ahead!
So what?
So what?
It's up to you.
If you want to deny landing on the moon, if you want to deny the Holocaust, World War II, Elvis, I don't care.
Attack him.
Well, not attack him physically, but make fun of him.
Ignore him.
But the platform is not...
The site of censorship.
Maybe the particular type of speech.
Maybe that's it.
I mean, let's face it, if you're having nothing but vile nudity, if there is such a thing, I don't see any problem with reasonable limitations.
We know this.
In a free and open society, we have limitations in terms of dress codes, and you can't go into a restaurant without a shirt.
No shirt, no shoes, no service.
We know that.
You can be told, excuse me sir, can you keep your volume down?
You're going to tell me how to speak?
Yes.
Of course.
And now we're doing a new thing.
We're saying, wow, whenever there's a shooting, whenever they go after some gay club, it's because of MAGA.
It's because of this.
There's no such thing as that.
Let me give you an example.
Years ago, There was this anti-Muslim thing years ago.
And these folks believed that Muslims were all part of some violent jihadi group or sect and that they were responsible for Wild jihadist violence.
And one time I did the math.
I said, let me tell you something.
There's about 2 billion Muslims, maybe.
Around now it's about 2. Let's just make it easy.
For the sake of argument, 2 billion.
And if just 10%, if just 10% were violent, that means, when I mean violent, I mean violent jihadists, that means there would be 200 million.
Rambunctious, wild, rapacious, violent people who just...
There would be forest fires, and there would be rioting, and there would be trains derailed, and there would be bombings everywhere.
There would be 200 million.
About two-thirds of our country.
I said, then the numbers don't make sense.
They're not there.
Where are these violent jihadis?
Where are they?
Well, they're there.
Where?
Well, it's a fatwa.
What fatwa?
What?
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Give an example.
Whenever there's some shooting at a gate, they'll say, oh, this guy's grandfather was a MAGA supporter.
There has been, in this country, anti-gay thinking since the beginning of time, espoused by violent, powerful people with guns and the like.
And we had Stonewall, and there were reported gay places and hangouts since the beginning of time.
And in the 50s and 60s, when there were more and more gay clubs, people were available and people could come out of nowhere and do these terrible things and they had guns.
And yet, yet, thankfully, the number of open fire violence on gay clubs was minimal, de minimis, non-existent.
It wasn't there.
The numbers never added up.
There were some of the vilest.
We had the Klan.
I mean, really, open, open, the Metzgers and the Aryans.
And yet, yet, even then...
It was like, well...
So now we get some lunatic every now and then.
There are more gay clubs than you can imagine, and more clubs.
And you're trying to make a connection between an ideology and this kind of behavior?
It doesn't make any sense.
This will be happening all the time.
Because the ideology has always been here.
I don't understand it.
It doesn't make any sense.
But that doesn't keep people like Nancy Pelosi from saying, this is because of MAGA, this is because of this.
Well, what's responsible for BLM?
And for Antifa writing.
What?
We need to blame Al Sharpton?
No, you don't blame somebody because Al Sharpton never said, go out and do this.
Words, words, words are pure.
Actions are another.
What you do with this doesn't make any sense.
And Elon Musk has a chance.
You think he would have this opportunity to say, wait a minute, I'm going to set the standard.
We don't ban people.
We ban an idea.
Again, I keep telling you, you're not going to ban your phone service because, oh, Alex Jones, he doesn't get a phone.
What?
He doesn't get a phone.
Alex Jones can't get a cell phone.
Why?
Because of the Sandy Hook.
He doesn't get a phone.
He doesn't get a phone.
Wait a minute.
Why doesn't he get a phone?
Because he said these terrible things, and that's hate.
Yeah, but a phone is a utility.
It doesn't matter.
That's what Elon Musk is saying.
Elon Musk is brilliant.
He's playing everybody.
Does Trump come back?
Does Trump come back?
Listen, let me just say something to you.
I expect to live in a country.
Where I'm going to be hearing things sometimes that I despise.
And I'm going to hear people I despise.
I'm going to hear ideas I despise.
And I'm going to hear these terrible, terrible, terrible things.
I'm going to hear these things.
I'm going to hear these things.
And let me also tell you something.
And I mentioned this before, and this is the most important thing in the world.
What they did with Alex Jones, what has been missed, remember, he never put on a defense.
He defaulted.
I don't know anything about the facts of this case.
I don't watch his show.
I don't know what he said, why he said it.
We know nothing.
All we know is he...
They said, basically, you defaulted.
Go straight to damages.
Okay.
But here's what they did, which was scary.
They talked about how this incited people.
You heard about people.
You heard about his...
You heard about family members who said, who came forward and said, that their lives were ruined by virtue of these deniers that came towards them.
That's horrible.
That should be handled, again, Did they threaten you?
Yeah.
It's against the law.
I don't care why they threatened you.
I don't care what motivated them to threaten you.
I don't care what they read or heard or what they believed.
You can't do that.
But I gave you this example.
Let's assume that you decide that you don't want to believe in the moon landing.
I'm not going to get into that, but let's assume that is your right.
You can believe or not believe anything you want.
Now let's say you say we never landed on the moon.
It's all the Apollo mission.
It's all bogus.
One small step for man.
It's nonsense.
Okay.
And that Buzz Aldrin, well, Neil Armstrong's dead.
I think Michael Collins, he was flying.
And Buzz Aldrin, I think, is the remaining one.
I think.
Let's assume.
I hope.
Well, let's assume that people take this.
And they start bothering Buzz Aldrin and his family.
Like this one jerk used to go up to all these astronauts and stick a Bible in front of them and make them swear.
Swear you landed on the moon.
Now wait a minute.
First, first, first.
This is trespass.
It's affrontive.
To me, it's assaultive.
Stop it.
Stop it.
This is crazy.
If you want to talk about it, go ahead.
Be my guest.
But don't do that.
But let's assume further that somebody sues you because you're a denier.
And Buzz Aldrin's family!
And Buzz Aldrin says, you incited!
Wait a minute, what?
You incited!
I didn't say anything about inciting you.
Well, you did, because when you denied, or when you denied the moon, you basically called me a liar, and you were acolytes, these crazy people out there.
Other people who didn't believe in our role in Vietnam.
Then you're going to go, VFW sites were attacked.
Veterans were attacked.
And you're responsible.
Why?
Because you declaimed, you spoke against the war.
But I never said attack to me.
It doesn't matter.
See where this is going?
It's the incitement thing.
This is very new.
This is brand new.
And nobody's talking about that, of course, because, frankly, they're, you know...
We're asking the wrong questions.
Thomas Pinchon said, as long as you ask the wrong questions, they never have to give you the answers.
Because you're asking the wrong questions.
You're over here.
We have got to stop this.
Everybody's got to realize, yell all you want.
Say whatever you want about Alex Jones.
Just no violence.
No violence.
And provide a platform and Twitter under Section 230, whether it's Twitter, Google, Facebook, Instagram, whatever it is.
Whatever it is, under Section 230, you were granted limited liability.
Excuse me, unlimited liability.
No, what am I saying?
You were liability free.
You were granted immunity.
What am I saying?
You were granted immunity.
Why?
And they said, under no circumstance should any of these people ever be considered to be a publisher.
But you are publishing because you're editing who's on and who's not.
You can't have it both ways.
When the internet first started, people said, hey, listen, we need this immunity from civil lawsuits.
Why?
Because we're just a billboard.
Or we're a newsstand.
We're just putting stuff out.
We're not...
I'm just...
I'm not endorsing this.
Here, I'm just providing a place for you to come.
If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it.
Sounded good, so we signed Section 230.
Well, as soon as that happened, then the government worked with them by proxy, and the next thing you know, they started shutting people down for misinformation, disinformation, data information.
It was COVID.
You're giving wrong medical advice.
You've got to be stopped.
Stopped.
You've got to be stopped.
And then once you can't say this, that's a conspiracy theory.
That's hate.
You can't spread hate.
Why is that hate?
It's hate because we say it's hate.
That's why it's hate.
And I thought for sure Elon Musk would say, sorry.
Everybody comes on.
If you don't like Alex Jones, don't listen to him.
Don't listen to him.
Let me try this again.
Maybe you don't know this.
Right now, You're watching me.
And I thank you for that.
You are not watching everything else in the world.
You are not watching everything else.
You are electing not to hear everybody and everything in the world.
Do it.
That's it.
We should have a response.
A response.
A patellar response.
Aversion.
An aversive response.
Like an electric shock to anybody who tells anybody else, you cannot speak.
You cannot speak.
You are not allowed on this platform.
Period.
Nothing you say.
No apology.
You can't go on.
Alex Jones can't come on and say, it's a beautiful day.
I love my country.
I love little butterflies and puppy dogs.
Nothing.
And this mob mentality, this pitchfork and torch crowd, these vigilantes love this.
We got another one.
They didn't get Trump, and Trump is playing the ultimate.
Well, it was truth social.
Truth social?
Okay.
I know where this is going.
This is the biggest work of them all, but it doesn't matter.
No.
I cannot tell you how many people I don't listen to.
I cannot tell you.
There are people who I think...
I mean, there are stuff that is just...
There is...
I hear stuff that I think is dangerous and misinformation and disinformation regarding diet and regarding what's safe and what isn't.
And the amount of animal fat that people ingest.
I think it's extremely dangerous.
Dangerous!
It's misinformation.
Flat out.
You decide that.
It's not for me to decide.
I can counter it, but I don't want to ban it.
I don't want to ban it.
Let me say this again.
I think you're dead wrong.
But you should be able to say it.
I don't want you to ban it.
Go someplace else.
I hear stuff that is just ridiculous.
That's wrong.
It's wrong.
And it's deadly.
I'm hearing things about cannabis and this drug.
I know of a couple of cases, one in particular, of some young people who basically have some very, very serious reactions to vaping and some serious cannabis stuff.
Now, one who is in the midst of a psychotic, or was, psychotic episode, and may, may not be able to walk away from it.
Okay.
It's not up to me to ban it.
I can counter it.
It's not ban it.
It's wrong.
There are things that people say regarding religion and spirituality that I think is Insanity.
Delusional.
It's up to you.
First Amendment right, obviously the government.
And by the way, when the social media platforms work in concert with the government, they're proxies.
So don't give me this nonsense about, well, you know, they're private individuals.
No.
So what?
You can say whatever you want.
So what?
It doesn't matter.
I don't care.
Years ago, listen to this.
This really drove people crazy.
Years ago, there was something called NAMBLA.
I don't even know if it exists anymore or if it existed in the first place.
It's a North American Man-Boy Love Association.
It was an organization that promoted, theoretically promoted, the Abrogation, the removal of laws that prevent any kind of minimal age between men and boys having sexual congress.
And it was a despicable idea.
And I said at the time, sorry, that should be allowed.
It's free speech.
It's advocacy.
It's sickening, but if I want to pass a law, if I say, I think we should abolish the murder statute.
What?
Yeah, I don't think we should have murder sense yet.
I should be able to go on and say why I think we should abolish the murder sense.
I can't kill people.
There was something called NORML, Keith Stroop, years ago, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
They wanted to stop them!
They were merely advocating it.
And, of course, they were in their own private lives, but the point is, advocacy, thought, thought police, we can't allow that.
You should be able to say anything you want.
Lolita.
Nabokov, right?
Or Nabokov.
Underage Sex.
This is a book!
It's an ideology.
It's an ideation.
It's a thought.
Let her do it.
Yeah, but it's against the law.
It's a story.
Lots work.
Lot's daughters in the Bible getting drunk and having sex with their father.
It's a story!
You don't ban the Bible.
You don't ban the book.
You don't ban this stuff.
Romeo and Juliet.
You don't ban that.
There was a case years ago.
It was the 9th.
I think the 9th Circuit.
It was a famous Ashcroft case where what if they take a person and through photoshopping they take A body,
let's say an underdeveloped adult, and you first, let's say maybe it looked like, it looked like somebody might be underage, but they weren't, but it looked like.
They wanted to prosecute people for looking like.
The law said you cannot have certain forms of Contact with somebody under this age.
And they wanted to say, well, it looked like it.
Then they said, what if we use CGI?
What if we took this child's face and superimposed it on this...
It looked like.
And the whole purpose of CSAM was the fact that this memorializes this was actually a crime scene picture of a child who was...
Involved in this particular activity.
But in this case, there was no child.
It never occurred.
It looked like.
How can you have a law that prohibits looking like?
To show you how demented this was.
They didn't want you even, they didn't want you talking about it.
You couldn't write about it.
There was a woman who either was prosecuted or was in fear of prosecution.
Who had an online blog where she would describe, and it might be a little bit too much, but she described her own victimization, her own sexual victimization, and she either was prosecuted or could have been prosecuted, but she's telling you what happened.
Doesn't matter.
This is what I'm saying.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stop.
Because people, they are not satisfied with stopping a behavior.
They want to know your motivation.
Well, why are you doing it?
And what were you thinking?
And was this hate?
Was there motivation behind it?
Were you inspired by hate?
We have to stop this hate.
Was it racism?
Was it transphobia?
Was it xenophobia?
Was it misogyny?
Was it misandry?
What motivated you?
Who cares what motivated you?
What did you do?
They stabbed that guy.
That's it!
Well, he talked about stabbing.
So, so, remember the movie American Beauty?
Remember Kevin Spacey?
Kevin Spacey wanted to have either some type of relationship, I think, with his daughter's friend.
American Beauty, right?
And she might have been underage.
It's art!
Yeah, but it's sick.
Maybe.
But nothing was...
Nobody was...
And the way you stop this is you say, enough.
You don't stop a person.
You stop behavior.
You...
Do not stop thought.
You do not stop ideas.
You do not stop words in music, in poetry, in art, in expression.
You stop victimization.
Now, if somebody says something that involves libel, slander, that's one thing.
If somebody says something that is a threat, that's another.
Just because it's a word doesn't mean it's off the hook.
But we are losing our mind.
And Elon Musk, this was your opportunity to have taught us something.
And I don't care whether you like Alex Jones.
It doesn't matter.
Safety goes for BLM.
You know those two lawyers who were finally disbarred, who wanted to either throw a Molotov cocktail in whatever?
They should be able to talk about anything they want.
Anything.
About the whites or blacks.
Anything.
Anything.
Say it.
Don't do it.
It's that simple.
And let me tell you something.
When you go along with it, you're going to hear some of the vilest, most horrible stuff you've ever heard in your life.
You are opening, you are getting ready for this.
And you know what you do?
Turn it off.
I mentioned something the other day.
I said, there's a thing now about Mr. Meat and PewDiePie.
Somebody says, who?
I said, isn't that funny?
This is the number one, the biggest selling, biggest subscribers on YouTube worldwide.
And more people say, who?
You see how you were able?
You were able to keep yourself from being infected by the words and the thoughts of PewDiePie and Mr. Meat or whatever it was.
You see how you did that?
You could do that with Alex Jones.
You could do it with Donald Trump.
With Fox, CNN, AOC, you use that same selectivity and you apply it to something else and it works perfectly.
You didn't even know this person.
You weren't even aware of it.
We love to shut people down.
We love to shut...
And you know what's even worse?
Many of you...
Who get a big kick out of seeing people from Twitter fired.
Well, these people don't do anything anyway.
You don't know the first thing about what Twitter does.
You don't know the first thing.
You just hate these people because they're the enemy.
Look at that Samuel Bankman freed with that girlfriend and I get it.
Because he's woke to you?
Is that because he's a vegan and I just get it.
That's the way we are.
By the way, He's still on Twitter.
He's on Twitter.
If he's not involved in some kind of a criminal conspiracy at some point, violating some law, bankrupting an entire crypto account, this clearinghouse, are you kidding me?
He's on, but Alex Jones isn't?
Wait a minute.
SBF is on Twitter?
Yeah.
But Alex Jones isn't?
Nope.
Explain that one to me.
Explain that one.
This guy, and you don't know the names of the people I'm hearing who had everything wiped out.
And by the way, there's no, hey listen, anybody going to make good on this?
No.
There's no FDIC for this.
Hey wait a minute, where's all my money?
I don't know.
I love it.
They're going to have a bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy?
They're going to have an actual bankruptcy?
What are your assets?
Assets?
What?
It's crypto.
What is this?
Well, it's blockchain.
Okay.
This is going to be great.
He's on Twitter.
No problem.
Figure that one out.
It's unbelievable.
They wanted to shut down Joe Rogan because Joe Rogan had an idea about vaccines that Neil Young didn't like.
So Neil Young said, I'm going to take all my stuff and go, and nobody cared.
And Nils Lafgren came along too.
Ooh!
People said, who?
Nils, wasn't that Cloris Leachman's husband?
No, that was Lars.
Who?
Nils, who?
Remember that one?
And people say, well, of course you should do this.
Because we hate him.
And then those little snowflake cream puffs on SNL.
Well, we're not going to write for Dave Chappelle.
Oh, my God.
Turn it off.
Dave Chappelle, that was the most half-assed, half-baked monologue ever.
Ask Mort Sahl about what it is when you've got the Kennedys coming after you versus what exactly?
Look.
Let's do this.
Speaking of this.
I know you're going to say, wait a minute.
Look at Mike Lindell.
MyPillow.com.
Promo code Lionel.
Look what they did to him!
If he doesn't like an election result, or you don't, you should be able to say whatever.
Like Stacey Abrams did.
Like Hillary Clinton did.
Like everybody else did.
There are people now saying that Trump, did you hear this?
Somebody said that Trump coming back on Twitter, or being offered Twitter, is part of Russian propaganda.
I don't even know how that works.
I don't even know how that works.
But this is what we're doing.
So Mike Lindell says, wait a minute, he's got a tremendous story.
He says, I want to sell pillows.
I want to sell Giza bedsheets, percale sheet sets.
He has this overstock, by the way, you know, he's got 90% off.
Have you seen this?
You've got to go to MyPillow.com promo code Lionel or MyPillow.com forward slash Lionel.
And what do they do to him?
They shut him down.
Great product.
Bed, bath, and be out.
Pull it.
Why?
Because we're spineless.
Because we capitulate.
Because we do.
Look at Disney!
Bob Iger's got to come back.
Why?
Because of this Ron DeSantis.
That's a scalp for him.
Do you see what's happening?
There are people who stand up and say, wait a minute, no, I get to say this.
And he's still there.
Bed, Bath& Beyond is crumbling and Mike Lindell is still there.
And we've got to support him.
And I'm telling you right now.
I've always said this.
In addition to the great products, I love his story.
So go to MyPillow.com, but only use promo code Lionel.
We don't get any credit.
I want to show him that our show, we've got the people.
Because you're loyal.
And I'm not asking you to send the money out of charity.
This is great stuff.
The blankets, the towels, the toppers.
You know it.
Go to MyPillow.com, promo code Lionel.
And if you need a phone number, I don't blame you.
That's up to you.
You can call 800-645-4965.
That's 800-645-4965.
Now let me just say this again.
Let me make it very, very clear.
I hate, I hate censorship.
I hate it.
It is un-American.
It is unnatural.
It is wrong.
I want you to be able to say what?
You want to say, even though I despise you.
And my like of you, or dislike of you, has nothing to do.
If I want to shut you down, I want to come at you with my own version.
Greta Thunberg says stuff that's just wrong.
I don't want her to be shut down.
I don't want somebody coming after you, Greta Thunberg, to be shut down.
I want there to be the commerce, the exchange of opinions.
That's it.
That's the way we do it.
And the fact that I've got to say this is sad.
Oh, my God.
Can you imagine right now, James Madison walks in, Thomas Jefferson, hey, what are you talking about?
Well, freedom of speech.
What?
Freedom of speech.
You don't have freedom of speech?
Not really.
Nope.
Uh-uh.
No way.
No way!
And the worst is self-censorship.
When you say, nah, nothing.
What?
No, I'm just...
What are we going to say?
No, no, I'm just...
That's the worst.
When you limit yourself.
Okay, my friends, preparewithlionel.com.
Preparewithlionel.com.
That's still the best Christmas gift.
You can have Thanksgiving.
Prepare with Lionel.
Open up all your stuff.
You don't have to, but if you want to, it's damn good.
By the way, if you go hunting or fishing or whatever, camping, it's great as well.
Prepare with Lionel.com and also MyPillow.com with MyPillow.com promo code Lionel and let me see something.
I want you to do something right now which is so important.
You don't know how great Mrs. L's YouTube channel is.
She's got stuff...
We'll have a new one later.
We'll have a new one later, but...
There are people in the business who supposedly know this stuff who don't know half as much as she knows.
They don't know this.
I've never seen anything like it.
I'm not going to mention names, but there are people who are...
Some people just are into this human trafficking thing.
I think they like to do it just because, well, maybe the African Violet Society was closed, so I'm going to do this instead.
They don't really know what they're talking about.
A lot of people are phony.
This is my opinion.
This is the real McCoy.
This is the real McCoy.
