Good day, my friends. | |
Let me begin by trying to take you through what you are hearing. | |
And to give you a different version of what is happening, regarding the Twitter files, Twitter drops, Barry Weiss, you've heard this, the latest iteration, and I want to scream. | |
I want to say, wait a minute. | |
We went through the Matt Taibbi version, and I cannot believe, I thought I taught you well. | |
I thought I did. | |
I thought I taught you how to think. | |
I thought I talked to you about the ontological, epistemological reality of what's going on here. | |
And you're falling for this. | |
You're falling for this hook, line, and sinker. | |
It's the same story repeated. | |
I tried so hard to say, well, Let me see if old Tucker can do a good job. | |
He does the best job on Fox. | |
That's a qualified compliment, by the way. | |
Let me just say that you know it and I know it. | |
He does the best job on Fox. | |
But here's the thing. | |
He's missing the point. | |
And I'm sorry to say this, I hope you're not, but you probably are. | |
Because they don't ever stop and ask, how did I get this information? | |
Who gave me this information? | |
What benefits Elon Musk? | |
Can I trust Elon Musk? | |
Does this make any sense? | |
How is it that I'm here falling for this? | |
Now let's go through this bit by bit and let me tell you the narrative. | |
Let me tell you the story. | |
First, Who is Elon Musk? | |
He's the white hat, white horse, good guy, fighting against woke liberalism, and he's doing everything in his power to expose the deep, dark, seamy, worldly, underbelly of these demented... | |
Horrible. | |
Vile. | |
You got the picture, right? | |
You got it? | |
And you love it. | |
This is professional wrestling. | |
I've told you, if you've listened to me through the years, professional wrestling. | |
If you understand how the work works, angles, heat, putting people over, this is carnival, carny, kiazarni, shoot, bumps, This is it. | |
That's over there. | |
Put it there. | |
So that's one particular frame of reference. | |
Next, Elon Musk. | |
Do you think Elon Musk is going to tell the rest of the people, let me tell you something, you shadow government, deep state, hidden agenda folks. | |
Let me tell you something. | |
I'm your worst enemy. | |
And you better watch out. | |
Because I'm going to expose your collusion and this liberal woke lunacy and I'm going to get to the bottom of this. | |
Do you believe that? | |
Tell me you don't believe this. | |
Tell me you don't believe that. | |
Tell me you're not falling for that. | |
Tell me you don't see this. | |
Do you know what would happen if all of a sudden I pick up the phone? | |
And in case you've just turned this to me in, I use this term almost like a... | |
Like a shorthand. | |
The shadow government. | |
The shadow government is like the people really in charge. | |
Really and truly in charge. | |
What you see is a Potemkin village. | |
It's a movie set. | |
Washington is a movie set. | |
Washington Monument, the Congress. | |
It's the back lot. | |
It's what you do when you... | |
Drive around in your tours. | |
Oh, look! | |
This is the seat of government. | |
There's the White House. | |
There's the White House. | |
Do you think the White House controls anything? | |
Do you think Donald Trump controls anything? | |
Do you think Joe Biden controls anything? | |
You want there. | |
And they play on this. | |
You want there. | |
Did you see where Kirsten Sinema? | |
Is it Kirsten or Kirsten? | |
I have all these... | |
People I know named Kirsten Kirsten Sinema. | |
Did you hear this story? | |
Where is this one? | |
I'm always looking things up. | |
Ah! | |
Kirsten K-Y-R. | |
Kirsten Sinema. | |
Do you know what Kirsten Sinema said? | |
I'm leaving the Democratic Party. | |
You fell for that, didn't you? | |
You were happy. | |
Be honest. | |
Be honest. | |
Fox News is just wonderful. | |
This is wonderful! | |
This is great! | |
She's now... | |
She's leaving the Democratic Party. | |
Keep going! | |
Keep going! | |
Yes, well, she's gonna... | |
And who will she be caucusing with? | |
What? | |
Whom? | |
With whom? | |
Is she caucusing with? | |
Who would that be? | |
That would be Angus King from... | |
Virginia. | |
Let me see. | |
Yeah, Maine. | |
Excuse me, Maine. | |
Senator from Maine. | |
He's an independent. | |
And Bernie Sanders. | |
But they caucus with the Democrats. | |
So, yeah, the numbers, but... | |
Come on. | |
Why did they tell me this? | |
Because they don't have time to tell you. | |
Because that destroys the narrative. | |
Fox News, and it's not just Fox News, whether it's Newsmax or whether it's CNN or whoever it is, and each of the individual shows, there is something they deliver. | |
The reason why I am so problematic to everyone, I'm telling you, is that I don't have this. | |
I don't have any allegiance to any particular party. | |
I don't have any allegiance. | |
Allegiance to left or right or the GOP or the Democrats if somebody doesn't mean to like that. | |
And that drives people crazy. | |
So you have to kind of tune in and listen, but these people aren't going to veer from that, so they give you this thing. | |
Okay, back to where we started. | |
So Elon Musk... | |
Comes along and he tells you, I'm this great guy and I'm going to buy Twitter. | |
Oh my God! | |
How long did they milk that one? | |
Wasn't that great? | |
This is classic wrestling. | |
Tuesday night at the Armory, Dusty Rhodes. | |
I'm coming for you. | |
And the lights out match. | |
Let me tell you something, brother. | |
You're going to feel the pain. | |
Remember Dusty Rhodes? | |
The greatest ever. | |
The American Dream behind the elbow. | |
I'm going to dream. | |
Right? | |
Let me tell you something. | |
Kill the cow cocks. | |
There's going to be tiny. | |
Oh my God. | |
There's going to be lights out. | |
Wait a minute. | |
This remains to be seen Tuesday night at the Armory. | |
Tuesday night at the Kiel Auditorium. | |
Tuesday night at the Cow Palace. | |
Tuesday night. | |
Saturday night. | |
That's what it is. | |
Building up heat. | |
Building up excitement. | |
Twitter's coming. | |
Jack Dorsey's out. | |
And these others. | |
I'm sorry. | |
I don't remember their names. | |
Just don't. | |
But you know who I'm talking about. | |
Their day is done. | |
We're going to win, right? | |
We're going to win! | |
Next point. | |
Who's we? | |
Classic tribalism. | |
Us against them. | |
The good guys. | |
The good guys are going to win. | |
The good guys? | |
You're the good guys? | |
Yes, we're the good guys. | |
We're the good guys. | |
We're going to win. | |
Okay, fine. | |
Next. | |
Here's the story. | |
Two journalists are selected. | |
Matt Taibbi. | |
Matt Taibbi. | |
Oh, he's the... | |
He's the... | |
The Mankin. | |
The... | |
He's the... | |
The Muckraker. | |
The Upton Sinclair. | |
You know, he's... | |
He's it. | |
Oh, there's another one too. | |
What's his great name? | |
Pembroke. | |
What was his name? | |
Please forgive me. | |
Pembroke. | |
Anyway. | |
I'll think of his name. | |
I'd ask you, but this one's not obscure, but... | |
Pegler, Pegler, Pegler, Pegler. | |
Excuse me, I've got to do this. | |
This is going to... | |
Pegler. | |
What was his name? | |
Pegler. | |
He was a journalist. | |
Pegler was Westbrook Pegler. | |
Westbrook Pegler. | |
That was the guy. | |
This was one of these... | |
Wow! | |
This was a real muckraker and a real... | |
Get to the bottom of this, you know, Lincoln-Stefan sort of, you know, I'm going to muckrake it. | |
Okay. | |
So that was Matt Taibbi. | |
He was the Westbrook Pegler of his time. | |
He was going to be the guy. | |
So here's what happened. | |
So our friend Elon says, Matt, yeah, listen. | |
I'm going to hand you this first tranche of documents. | |
I haven't seen these. | |
I don't know what's in there. | |
My guys have said, I don't know. | |
Why don't you go through these? | |
See what you can find and then collate and call and put them together for us. | |
What do you say? | |
What do you say, Matt? | |
Matt, can you do that for us? | |
Sure, I can do that. | |
Thanks, Matt. | |
Appreciate it, Matt. | |
Thanks for being there. | |
Matt Kaibbi, ladies and gentlemen, coming up. | |
The first tranche. | |
Ooh. | |
Now, they want you to believe that he knew nothing. | |
None of the information is going to hurt Elon. | |
None of it is going to hurt the company. | |
It's all just... | |
I'm just... | |
I think it's such and such... | |
He even said at one particular point, I didn't even know that some of this stuff was limited. | |
I didn't know that. | |
Really? | |
Do you think Elon Musk is smart? | |
A smart guy. | |
He's smart. | |
Would turn over documents without even checking to see what they were? | |
Do you think that would... | |
Do you think that's even... | |
Possible. | |
No. | |
So that means he's handing over selected documents to Mr. Taibbi, right? | |
Well, lo and behold, here's the first trash. | |
Matt Taibbi. | |
Matt Taibbi. | |
Ooh. | |
And others must be saying, wait a minute. | |
Glenn Greenwald, what about me? | |
And of course, this is all about why are you excluding me? | |
I don't know who these other great people were. | |
Anyway. | |
Round two, Barry Weiss. | |
Oh, now we're getting into it. | |
Now we're getting into Barry Weiss. | |
They went in and they actually targeted individuals, targeted people, targeted people, deliberately, including, wait a minute, Charlie Kirk. | |
I know. | |
I know. | |
Now you've done it. | |
Okay, you got that? | |
And Charlie Kirk is so happy, he can't even see straight. | |
They got me? | |
This is better than the Nixon's enemies list. | |
And the best one, Don Bongiorno or Bon Jovi, him to him? | |
You know who must be? | |
Ben Shapiro must say, check that again, did they mention me? | |
Or as Ben would say, nothing, nothing. | |
Candace Owens, did they mention me? | |
No? | |
No? | |
Marnie McCary? | |
No? | |
I hope for our good friend Dinesh D'Souza. | |
They mentioned him. | |
No, I don't know. | |
I didn't go through the list of who was mentioned. | |
But these two? | |
Libs of TikTok. | |
Okay, fine. | |
But Charlie Kirk. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, we're having right now on this show this man, the Westbrook Pegler of his time. | |
The inimitable, the ineffable, the one, the only, number 14 in your program, number one in your heart, Charlie, Kirk, Charlie, what? | |
I can't believe it! | |
Me! | |
Me! | |
Instant gratification, instant apotheosis, me! | |
I'm so powerful! | |
They wanted to shut me down, that's how dangerous, and it's going to be on every, every, Thumbnail every intro. | |
Good for you, CK. | |
Good for you. | |
Even Don Bon Jovi, you say, what? | |
What did I say? | |
Anyway, it doesn't matter. | |
So that's that. | |
You buying this? | |
You're buying this, aren't you? | |
Stop for a moment. | |
I got more questions to ask. | |
But first, let's take a little time out, a little breather here. | |
I want to tell you, on January the 14th, and by the way, what I'm saying right now is calm. | |
Because don't think that this moment of ecumenical, hey everybody, kumbaya baby, don't think that everybody in the social media world are doing the same thing. | |
Believe me not. | |
January 14th. | |
Right there. | |
Cutting room. | |
Bring the family. | |
Some people ask me, can I bring kids there? | |
Well, I mean, they serve drinks, but it's a clean show. | |
Absolutely. | |
I mean, put it this way. | |
You don't hear anything. | |
I'm not prone to waxing coprolalic, unless I have to, unless it's critical to the particular piece. | |
But yes, absolutely. | |
Anybody can come. | |
I mean, it's up to you. | |
And New York is open for business. | |
So January 14th, I want you to be there. | |
And you are the special guest because this is a night that we're going to pass around the microphone. | |
We're going to have cards. | |
This is going to be the first interactive event ever. | |
January 14th, Cutting Room, New York City. | |
I want you to be there. | |
I want you to be there and see me. | |
Next, this is important. | |
Right now, I don't know how to tell you this, but I've got to tell you this because I love you, and it's critical, and it is so important. | |
Very, very, very simply. | |
As you know, the world is in a world of hurt. | |
It is the most frightening of times. | |
You know it's true. | |
I know it's true. | |
Everybody knows it's true. | |
And this is something which I want you to be aware of. | |
Now, right now, right now, My Patriot Supply is going the extra mile to make sure that you are able to handle emergency food necessities and to make them as affordable as possible. | |
How are they going to do this? | |
They're taking $250 off of their three-month emergency food kit, which is the maximum you should do. | |
Well, let me rephrase this. | |
Actually, it's the minimum that your family should have. | |
But it's the greatest thing that you can do for your family. | |
$250 off. | |
Now, this kit provides delicious, easy to make, easy breakfast, lunches, dinners, drinks, and snacks for one person for three solid months. | |
You can get one and should get one for each member of your family while you're able to. | |
So save $250 during this time. | |

Those who know what's coming are using today to prepare. | |
Are you? | |

Now the question I have for you is, do you think that this is somehow going to lift the lid, this is going to change the way other social media platforms handle these types of things? | |
Do you? | |
you No. | |
No. | |
Number two, do you think this is done with Twitter? | |
No. | |
Of course not. | |
Do you think that as we speak, this is going to change and rewrite everything? | |
Of course not. | |
Do you think this is largely fraudulent? | |
Not fraudulent, but the excitement is misplaced. | |
Absolutely. | |
Now here is the question. | |
What's the most important question they're asking? | |
This is what nobody's asking. | |
Two things. | |
First, if I programmed a television news show, I'd be off in a minute because I would be interested in things that really matter. | |
I wouldn't do it just for the sake of the Hollywood aspect of it. | |
But I'm going to tell you nonetheless. | |
Number one. | |
Question number one. | |
Number one. | |
Where are the members of Congress? | |
They've got Charlie Kirk on. | |
And by the way, Charlie Kirk should be held to a very high level of esteem because he has been able to get more people together, young people and others. | |
And he has done a wonderful job. | |
A wonderful job. | |
So he is to be credited, as are the cadres and the battalions of today's new folks who are about this. | |
But, the whole Christian thing is alienating. | |
No, no, no. | |
You don't tell somebody. | |
No, you are not. | |
The First Amendment does not apply to Satan worship. | |
That's just crazy. | |
But I digress. | |
So, number one. | |
Where is, you know what I'm going to ask, where is a membership of the government? | |
Where is anybody? | |
Wouldn't you love to hear Jim Jordan say, Joe, whoever the host is, I'm promising you right now, right this moment, that the Republican leadership in the House is going to make sure that we have hearings on this immediately to find out what is going on and to immediately table. | |
I have a bill to repeal Section 230. | |
Repeal Section 230. | |
We're doing something, and believe me, Tucker and Sean and Eddie and Jerry and all these other people. | |
I can do more. | |
My committee can do more than Charlie Cook or whoever can do in their lifetime. | |
Do you hear from them? | |
No. | |
Why? | |
Because politicians are on the take. | |
Big Tech owns them. | |
They're not going to get in the way of this. | |
They're on the phone telling the The actual obvious. | |
Hey, listen, you didn't see me, did you? | |
No, I'm talking about other stuff. | |
No, I'm talking about... | |
No, no, no, no. | |
I'm not doing that. | |
Who you got? | |
Oh, you got the big shot Ted Cruz. | |
Ted's got his own podcast. | |
We'll go behind the headlines. | |
They're not going behind the headlines. | |
Marsha Blackburn, this Josh Hawley, they're not doing anything. | |
Big tech owns them. | |
That's number one. | |
Number two. | |
What's the main question they're not asking? | |
State action. | |
I don't care about Charlie Kirk. | |
And by the way, the majority of us, that's right, me and you and others, we're not in some, we may not even be on any kind of a list named by name. | |
We're part of huge swaths of Algorithms, because you've said the wrong name, you've mentioned the wrong politician, you've said the wrong thing. | |
You're in this swath, this group, this mosh pit. | |
Don't think for one minute that somehow you're so great and so dangerous that your name is listed. | |
Most of us who have felt this are just... | |
Okay, so that's number one. | |
But number two, and where do we hear this? | |
The number one person today, the number one biggest news media person on the planet is Joe Rogan. | |
Bar none. | |
Bar none. | |
And when Mark Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan and said, well, you know, the FBI came and that's because Zuckerberg wanted to say that. | |
That's because Zuckerberg wanted to say that. | |
He didn't have to say that. | |
He wanted to make sure you knew this. | |
He wanted you to understand what it was that he was doing. | |
That's precisely what was going on there. | |
He wanted you to know that the FBI came to me. | |
And you could say, well, they didn't tell me. | |
Not to do something. | |
Really? | |
Because here's the question. | |
The moment somebody says anywhere, if it's ever possible, that I decided to shut down somebody's speech regarding COVID or the election or whatever, because I was told to by law enforcement, intel, whatever, that's when we hit pay dirt. | |
That's it. | |
That's state action. | |
That's a First Amendment violation. | |
That's it. | |
That's it. | |
Everything else doesn't matter. | |
That's the one. | |
That's where you go to court. | |
That's where you say, I've got it. | |
Civil rights violations. | |
Huge. | |
Huge. | |
State action. | |
I just finished a video presentation on my... | |
Private channel at lionelmedia.com And I go into far greater, more lurid details because I'm able to. | |
I'm free to do what I want and I enjoy that. | |
But I gave you an example of something I want to share with you just to kind of give you kind of an idea of what's going on, okay? | |
It's very, very simple. | |
And it works like this. | |
In fact, I'm going to give you this right now. | |
This is my channel. | |
This is it. | |
By the way, it makes a great stocking stuffer. | |
Fine for dad or grad. | |
Right there. | |
Now, years ago, I had a case in which we had a, believe it or not, it was very interesting. | |
We had a UPS person. | |
A UPS driver came and noticed it was a summer afternoon. | |
And in the back of his truck, There was a smell of weed, actual weed, when weed was weed, when marijuana was marijuana, when there were different strains and smells and textures and colors, and it was actually grown organically. | |
It's not this manufactured stuff right now. | |
Okay, so, interesting. | |
So what happened was, he, kind of looking around, and he smells, and he gets this one package. | |
And he said, I've got to know what's going on here. | |
So he opens it up. | |
Sure enough, big amount of marijuana. | |
So he seals it back up, calls the cops. | |
The cops come. | |
And one cop dresses as a UPS person. | |
They reseal it. | |
They get a warrant, actually. | |
They go in. | |
They knock on the door. | |
They deliver it. | |
They wait. | |
And they go in and they bust him. | |
There was a motion to suppress by the individual homeowner, or the customer, who said, My rights were violated, Fourth Amendment violation, 4th and 14th. | |
The state said no, no, no, no. | |
The government said no, no, no, no. | |
Because the state did not involve itself in any kind of a search. | |
It was the UPS driver. | |
Yes, but the UPS driver provided this information to the police. | |
And it was that UPS driver... | |
Who violated his rights? | |
To which we responded, no, because a UPS driver is not the government. | |
He can go in. | |
It might violate his corporate oath. | |
To make a long story short, they upheld it. | |
The court said, you're right. | |
The cop didn't search. | |
The UPS driver did. | |
He was the one responsible for this. | |
So this may come to you and this may shock Charlie Kirk. | |
This may shock him and I cannot believe that I'm even seeing this. | |
But if I represented Jack Dorsey or whoever these other persons were and I said, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, at no time did the government of the United States, any of the 50 states, any police force, | |
any intel agency, anyone, ever come to anybody from Twitter, And say, slow down or shadow ban or ban Charlie Kirk. | |
No evidence of it. | |
None. | |
If you've got a beef with them, you call them up. | |
You know what you do? | |
You tell them, hey, Twitter, I'm off this thing. | |
Twitter doesn't owe you anything. | |
We're going to qualify that. | |
That's the issue. | |
I don't care. | |
I don't care about Barry Weiss. | |
I don't care about Matt Taibbi. | |
Who cares? | |
Next point. | |
And I've been saying this forever, all morning. | |
I hope you've been following my Twitter piece. | |
Do you remember when the Pentagon Papers came out? | |
The great Daniel Ellsberg. | |
Remember this one? | |
We knew everything about what he said. | |
Everything he said was already told. | |
But the Rand Corporation and what we were doing in Vietnam and the escalation, it was nothing. | |
And nobody read it. | |
Nobody read it. | |
Nobody. | |
But he's hailed as a hero. | |
It's a limited hangout. | |
Please grasp that. | |
You're of the opinion, be honest, that there's been this Big revelation! | |
That Elon Musk is a hero! | |
He said, let me show you. | |
Look! | |
Elon, is that everything? | |
Beg your pardon? | |
Is that everything? | |
Do you mind if we look around here? | |
Oh, no, no, no, no. | |
No, no, this is it. | |
Excuse me. | |
You handed this to two journalists? | |
Yeah. | |
And they bought this? | |
Yeah. | |
Wait a minute. | |
Barry Weiss believes? | |
That this is it? | |
You gave it to her? | |
She's not saying, hey, wait a minute, hold it. | |
Why are you calling me? | |
How do I know this is all there is? | |
Let me look around. | |
No, no, no, no, no. | |
We're giving you this tranche and this tranche and that's it. | |
And that's it. | |
There's nothing else here? | |
Nope. | |
Really. | |
So what's happening? | |
Simple. | |
What are you doing? | |
We're done. | |
Everything is cleared up. | |
Barry Weiss to the rescue. | |
Matt Taibbi coming to the rescue. | |
Right? | |
That's what happened. | |
We've got it all figured out. | |
It's all been exposed. | |
It's a limited hang-up. | |
It's an information that's a little bit that's squeezed out, that's let out to give you the impression that's it. | |
It is as old as the day is long. | |
You're honestly believing this is it. | |
Oh my God. | |
I can't believe Elon Musk did that. | |
The genius of this man. | |
The guts. | |
And you know who's the happiest? | |
Fellow big techers. | |
Thanks Elon. | |
I got it. | |
Because now the rest of them are saying, Oh my God. | |
Elon. | |
Why did you do that? | |
This is terrible! | |
Now they're going to come after us. | |
What's happening next? | |
What's happening next in this saga of big tech? | |
Will they follow suit? | |
Do you think this is the story? | |
You've got to be kidding me! | |
Barry Weiss, you think this is it? | |
Let me get this straight. | |
Libs of TikTok, we know this, right? | |
And everybody else, I mean, this is the story? | |
I'm supposed to feel like, well, thank you, God, vindication. | |
I mean, how gullible are people? | |
But see, that ruins the story. | |
Because when you're on a TV show, you've got all your breaking news sounders and your thing and your bells and your gongs and your graphics and we're bringing in this just in. | |
Wow, it's trending. | |
You're kidding me. | |
Meanwhile, what's being ignored? | |
Oh, I don't know. | |
Southern border, the complete and total demolition of the country. | |
I mean, that's what people are saying. | |
Do you think, do you think that Elon Musk is going to tell the rest of the shadow government globalists the big money, people who are richer than he is? | |
Because remember, his is, you know. | |
Monarchies, no, no amount. | |
Do you think he's going to say, I'm your worst enemy? | |
No. | |
If they wanted to shut him down like that, whether it's through Tesla, whatever, governments, fellow gajillionaires, he's through. | |
He's the lovable... | |
Agent Provocateur. | |
The Limited Hangout. | |
Let him. | |
Alon, no. | |
Stop. | |
Damn him. | |
Ellsberg, why you? | |
We already knew about it. | |
We knew everything. | |
I know, but still, you? | |
Now, to be distinguished from Julian Assange, well, some of that stuff was brand new. | |
Those helicopter gunshot photos. | |
Edward Snowden, different story. | |
But none of it surprised you. | |
You see, the last time we heard anything that surprised us was Woodward and Bernstein. | |
And that's another story, too. | |
Bob Woodward, ex-Intel. | |
It's a long story. | |
But here was the story. | |
Hey, did you hear what happened? | |
Yeah, yeah, I know. | |
The government's corrupt. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
It's better than that. | |
The committee to re-elect the president creep. | |
I know. | |
No, no, no, no. | |
They paid burglars, ex-CIA, another connector, to break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate and to steal it. | |
And the president conspired with the Attorney General. | |
Now that's a story. | |
Nobody knew that one. | |
But this? | |
What do you not know about it? | |
What did you know? | |
What did you... | |
Don Bon Jovi? | |
Oh my god. | |
That's a shock to me to say, why? | |
Out of all the... | |
Anyway, who knows? | |
Who cares? | |
Believe me, he's already editing his Twitter page. | |
Voted number one by Twitter. | |
Anyway. | |
I mean, I don't blame him. | |
Use what you can. | |
But do you really think? | |
Did you learn anything? | |
Was there anything at all? | |
Did you learn anything? | |
Did you learn that there was an office of Twitter in the White House? | |
No. | |
Not that there was, but did you know that? | |
No! | |
There was nothing. | |
And that's always the sign of a limited hangout, because it means you introduce something... | |
As a smidgen, as a part of the whole, with the intention of creating the idea, the perception, that this was some big revelation, when it's not. | |
It's a diversion. | |
It's also a sense of, wow, well, we're satisfied with that. | |
Boy, wasn't that great? | |
Wow, to be a part of that. | |
Hey, thanks, Elon. | |
Thank you. | |
Numbers are going up again. | |
And some people are going to say, well, you know what? | |
Maybe social media finally getting the message. | |
They're not getting a message. | |
Is there any talk about Section 230 being repealed? | |
Nope. | |
Maybe rarely. | |
You see Jim Jordan talking about that? | |
Nope. | |
They talk about Fauci a lot, but they don't know. | |
You see anybody from doing it? | |
Absolutely not. | |
Big Tech owns them. | |
You are being... | |
Conned. | |
Like you cannot believe. | |
And it's nice. | |
At least, I mean it had to come. | |
You knew it was happening. | |
You knew it was happening, right? | |
Why? | |
Because you've already heard this before. | |
Now, what's going to happen to Mike Lindell? | |
Who's going to apologize to him? | |
Who's going to say we're sorry for this? | |
Who's going to say to Mike Lindell, we're sorry about this? | |
Did you know that, I read somewhere, somebody told me that my slippers were voted, I've got to get this piece, somebody told me, the most comfortable slippers in the world. | |
It doesn't surprise me, because we got some, and they're beautiful. | |

Now, I hope that it's possible for me to maybe teach you, and I'm going to be so bold as to say to teach you, How to think about this. | |
I've been through this so many times, it's not even funny. | |
I've been through this my whole life. | |
One story after another. | |
Sounds good. | |
And then you get into it and you say, wait a minute. | |
Because nothing is revealed. | |
If you think, if you honestly got to think, and by the way, all these files were left out? | |
You mean they just left them out? | |
Because, oh my God, we didn't... | |
We should have hidden... | |
Did they find the files of us shadow banning Charlie Kirk? | |
Yes. | |
Oh no! | |
You left this out? | |
I didn't think about it. | |
Do you think that? | |
And here's the first question. | |
Not the first question. | |
The final question. | |
The most important question. | |
The Graveman. | |
What do you think will be the ultimate result? | |
The ultimate effect? | |
Will anything come of this? | |
Will there be this moment of reclamation and justice where people say we have finally, finally gotten to the bottom of this? | |
These horrible people have been exposed thanks to Barry Weiss and Matt Taibbi. | |
Thank you. | |
Thank you, Elon. | |
Thank you. | |
It was the day, remember that? | |
In the year 2022, right before Christmas. | |
I remember that. | |
It's when everything changed, when everything was exposed, when finally the light was shown on the seamy underbelly, the... | |
Who gave you the information? | |
Elon. | |
Who got it after that? | |
A journalist. | |
Uh-huh. | |
And did the journalists find it? | |
No, it was given. | |
Nobody went to Bob Woodward and said, theoretically, I know it's different. | |
Here, Bob, this is the information we got on Nixon. | |
Didn't work that way. | |
Maybe later on, but not initially. | |
It was just like, hey, there was a burglary. | |
There's a break-in. | |
And here comes the arrest. | |
Barry, here you go with this. | |
We don't even know what's in there, so that's it. | |
And everybody is thinking that somehow there's this aha moment. | |
Because what's the issue again? | |
State action. | |
If the government's not involved, Twitter can do, I'm sorry to say this, anything it wants. | |
Now, let me say this in clarification. | |
If I were your senator, or your congressperson, I'm going to say, we're going to do the following right now. | |
Number one, we're going to have hearings. | |
And number two, we're going to... | |
Have you heard anybody mention any articles of impeachment of Biden? | |
I'm not even sure that's a good idea, because that's just a waste of total time. | |
Have you heard anything at all? | |
No. | |
No. | |
They're still talking about Kevin McCarthy. | |
What do you think Kevin McCarthy? | |
I don't know whether... | |
I'm not sure. | |
That's what they're talking about. | |
Brittany Greiner. | |
Oh, God. | |
Got to get her out. | |
What about the January 6th? | |
Any January 6th people still in prison? | |
I don't know. | |
I'm not even sure. | |
Huh. | |
How about that? | |
But the issue is state action. | |
That's it. | |
But if I was a senator, as I said, I would say, I'm going to have a new version. | |
I'm going to have, we're going to change everything. | |
By virtue of the size of this, by virtue of the enormity of social media, we're going to declare it a utility. | |
We're going to get new statutes, new legislation to treat it almost like a public accommodation. | |
Anybody here ever have a Involvement with something involving an easement. | |
And sometimes the law will have something called an easement by implication, by prescription, and if the beach is landlocked, let's say your property is on a lake or something, and the only way anybody can get to it is Traversing a portion of your property. | |
Courts may, after a period of time, grant an easement because people won't be able to use this even though it's yours. | |
Use restrictions by implication, there's different ways an easement can be created. | |
An Aaron Light easement, for example. | |
I'm going to build a building, but wait a minute. | |
My building might Interfere with your solar collection, your, you know, sustainable energy. | |
That's interesting. | |
So we have to grant an easement, so to speak. | |
We have to say, listen, what started off as a purely private enterprise is so big right now. | |
And the population is so dependent on it that we have to recreate and re-qualify and re-certify, re-label its existence as almost that of a utility. | |
If you found out that when you were on T-Mobile or Verizon or wherever you are, and somebody would say, you know what's the damnedest thing? | |
When I call up this guy, my phone dropped. | |
And then later on you found out in some files that because they didn't like, because T-Mobile, let's assume, or Verizon didn't like your political... | |
Thinking or AT&T or whatever. | |
They shut down your phone system every time you mention Joe Biden or Trump or AOC or whatever. | |
That would be inexcusable. | |
It's a public carrier. | |
It's a private entity. | |
It's not the government. | |
No, no, no. | |
This is a phone company. | |
Same thing for the power. | |
Every time I try to change the channel... | |
My lights would go off. | |
If I went to Fox News or if I went to CNN, the lights would go off. | |
Why? | |
No, you can't do that. | |
Same thing with this. | |
We have to reconfigure, recalibrate, rewrite this as a social media, as a utility. | |
Something that is not subject to the usual private enterprise protections and the like. | |
And the issue that Everybody should be. | |
If I were on that Fox News or whoever it was, I would make sure I have nothing but elected officials, one after another. | |
What are you doing? | |
Marsha Blackburn, go on the line, go on the air, go on the record right now. | |
What are you going to do? | |
What can you, as a senior member of the Senate, what can you do? | |
Get lawyers, law professors who are willing to do this, ex-members of DOJ, ex-judges, ex-clerks, Legislators, lobbyists, what can you do? | |
Where is our independent, where is the Sierra Club and the Greenpeace for First Amendment, not advocates, but for free speech employers? | |
Where? | |
Where? | |
Where are these people? | |
Where are the organizations that represent the lobbyists? | |
It's not Congress. | |
That's what's coming next. | |
So enjoy all this stuff. | |
Now, very quickly, I'm not going to tell you this because I know you're not going to agree, but you're missing the biggest story, in addition to this, with the Harry and Meghan story on Netflix. | |
You have no idea how big that is. | |
No, it's not about... | |
Some dingbat and some ginger. | |
No, no, no. | |
Bigger than ever. | |
And number three, I don't think you understand really what's happening regarding the Griner boot. | |
The boot. | |
Do you know that boot has only been called boot a gazillion times? | |
And there is a... | |
There is a very popular host, I'm sorry, I'm not going to mention his name, who referred to him as Bout. | |
Do you understand this? | |
There was a fellow who mentioned, there was a talk show who called it Grenier versus Greiner. | |
That means they've never heard the name before. | |
And as far as Paul Whelan, is anybody talking about him? | |
There seems to be evidence that, according to of all people, I think it was Andrea Mitchell, that she said that Russia said you can have a choice of either Whelan or Greiner, and the U.S. supposedly, though I'm sure it's in dispute, Picked Greiner. | |
So, is anybody talking about that? | |
No. | |
No. | |
Anything from the Congress? | |
No. | |
Anything from the Republicans? | |
No. | |
No. | |
They don't do anything. | |
I don't know how to tell you this. | |
They don't do anything. | |
There is no Republican Party. | |
There is no GOP. | |
They don't do anything. | |
This is why I'm not a Republican. | |
I have no... | |
They don't do anything. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. | |
You have a great and a glorious day. | |
