It's a bonus MDC! Here's the Facebook testimony portion of the episode we couldn't contain. "Facebook needs to protect BLM because I, as a US senator will not." "Diamond & Silk are sexy, conservative "sistas" whose facebook account MUST be promoted on the floor of congress." "How come Facebook knows everything I post?" [6 paragraphs of terrible PR advice left for Zuccerberg in the comments section of a Daily Caller facebook post] "I'm so terrible even Amber Alert blocked me."

|---|---|
| Alright, so, uh... Obviously, Facebook was on trial today. | |
| In the Senate. | |
| In Congress, rather. | |
| This whole thing about Facebook being under scrutiny is pretty much because of Cambridge Analytica, right? | |
| That's been lost in this conversation, at least on the right. | |
| They don't want it to be about Cambridge Analytica. | |
| They want this to be about Facebook targeting conservatives. | |
| Which is a totally real thing that doesn't only exist in the minds of conservatives on Facebook. | |
| But the main thrusts of the... I don't know, you watched the hearing, right? | |
| Yeah, I watched a lot of the hearing. | |
| I kind of had it on in the background because it was hours long. | |
| I mean, the Cambridge Analytica thing is like... | |
| It's not as crazy of an issue to me as it's being made out and this is like I'm at risk sounding like a pedantic well actually guy but The thing is Facebook only exists to get your data. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's like literally why Facebook exists. | |
| They want to have your data so that they can sell you stuff. | |
| They want to have your data so they can sell it to other people. | |
| That's why it's around. | |
| So if you do things like allow apps access to your likes and your friends pages and your information then they're gonna have your information like that's that's the way it works and um if you if you go online and sign into facebook to take a quiz on you know uh whether loretta lynch should be loretta lynched uh they're gonna have your information that's data | |
| that's data Yeah. | |
| Hey, that's all data. | |
| Hey, you know what else is data? | |
| Zuck. | |
| Oh, right. | |
| He's Zuck. | |
| You want to explain why that's a joke? | |
| The data meme. | |
| Oh, the data meme. | |
| Zuckerberg looks a lot like Data from Star Trek. | |
| Star Trek? | |
| It seems like a joke, but then you do put a side-to-side picture of him and they look a lot really similar. | |
| It's pretty great. | |
| Yeah I think that's one thing the right and the left can agree on is that Zuckerberg is a weird dude. | |
| Zucker nerd. | |
| Zuck. | |
| The first take I want to get out of the way is Cory Booker And his interview or his questioning of Mark Zuckerberg, it's amazing really to watch these two titans of progressivism and two titans of the people both going to run for president in 2020 and watching these two minds face off with each other to see who can be the most woke. | |
| And we have Cory Booker asking Mark Zuckerberg Uh, there are a lot of communities of color worried that the data could be used to surveil groups like Black Lives Matter. | |
| Is this something you're committed to addressing? | |
| First of all, what the fuck does that even mean? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Are you committed to addressing that there are communities wanting to surveil black lives? | |
| Like what? | |
| Three questions in one. | |
| It's a not, it's none of them are questions. | |
| Like it's, it's, it's nothing disguised in a question. | |
| It's pedantic, I suppose? | |
| No, you're being pedantic. | |
| We're being pedantic as we analyze this. | |
| Okay. | |
| It's so silly. | |
| It's just, hey, are you aware that people don't like the Black Lives Matter people? | |
| Are you addressing that? | |
| Are you giving away data that's going to harm them? | |
| And it's just like, yeah, they have a page. | |
| Like, what are you talking about? | |
| What are you saying? | |
| You're not giving info to the Klan, are you? | |
| This literally just exists so that Cory Booker could have a video of himself saying the phrase, Black Lives Matter. | |
| That's the only reason for this. | |
| Second of all, by the way, Mr. Cory Booker, the FBI literally targeted and tracked Black Lives Matter. | |
| What the fuck are you doing asking Facebook about Black Lives Matter? | |
| You piece of shit. | |
| It's a waste of fucking time. | |
| I think that Cory Booker showed up at the hearing and only read the abbreviated, the FB. | |
| He thought he was addressing the FBI. | |
| Yeah. | |
| He thought that Zuckerberg is now the new head of the FBI. | |
| Yeah. | |
| This is like, I mean, this is just the worst, like most... | |
| Hollow wussy activism on behalf of Black Lives Matter. | |
| Asking a website if they're going to protect Black Lives Matter for you. | |
| A fucking congress, a fucking senator! | |
| You're telling Mark Zuckerberg that he better do something to protect Black Lives Matter while literally the FBI is surveilling and following them. | |
| Good job, Cory Booker. | |
| Listen, Cory Booker, it's too late. | |
| He already shut down Black Planet. | |
| Actually, Black Planet is still active, it's just not nearly as poppin' as Facebook. | |
| Next is Black Raw. | |
| You gonna take that down, too? | |
| No, they like it too much. | |
| Alright. | |
| Yeah, the cuck thing. | |
| That's right. | |
| So, Tim Bailey replied in this comment section on this Politico article. | |
| What about Diamond and Silk being targeted, Senator? | |
| Who's that, Alex? | |
| Which was, um, it's a comment that I laughed at a lot until I realized that, okay, so Diamond and Silk are the, uh, they're like the, um, the only pro-Trump black women in media, right? | |
| Yeah, they're the black women, the female black mascots for the Trump sect. | |
| Yeah, they're like the deployed like if the if the Donald on reddit was black And female like that. | |
| They're just fans They're like they're like cheerleaders for ya like they make viral videos where they get hype for Donald And they really tell it like it is for Donald I think Tony said earlier, he made a funny joke that like, they're like, if some white people wrote like a black sketch on SNL or something like that. | |
| Yeah, they feel like a mad TV sketch. | |
| It really does, yeah. | |
| It feels like a mad TV sketch. | |
| It's weird. | |
| It's like this funny joke where these, you know, these black women are not realizing that they're rooting against themselves. | |
| Hey y'all! | |
| So I'm sitting up minding my business watching my TV and I see something that come across the news talking about Mueller is going to extend his scope and his probe in this Russia investigation. | |
| So it's no longer about Russia. | |
| It's about something else. | |
| Now we paying him tax dollars to investigate a Russia story and ain't even no truth to the Russia story. | |
| And because he can't find no proof, no truth, now he going to extend it to something else. | |
| This is the same type of sugar, honey, ice tea that they do to them black boys when they want to pin something on them. | |
| And that's what I see that Mueller is trying to do. | |
| And why are you wasting There's a bunch of these characters right now out there There's that guy that works for the NRA who literally changed his last name to black and he's like, oh wait Are you talking about Killer Mike? | |
| Oh man, that's good. | |
| He did interview, the guy that did the Killer Mike interview. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Who was like hired for that interview. | |
| What the fuck? | |
| And changed his last name to Black. | |
| Literally, yeah. | |
| That's great. | |
| Before the interview? | |
| When he got signed on to NRA, I guess. | |
| Is he a black guy? | |
| Yeah, he is the NRA's black guy. | |
| And Killer Mike is for the NRA, right? | |
| I mean, I know he's pro-gun. | |
| He's not for the NRA. | |
| He's not for the NRA. | |
| He's very pro-gun and he's... I know he's pro-gun as fuck. | |
| Yeah, he's... I like Killer Mike. | |
| He went on the NRA to get his message out basically. | |
| Exactly. | |
| It totally backfired. | |
| It was... He did apologize and say how bad the timing was. | |
| He didn't mean to do that. | |
| Okay. | |
| Yeah, but it's stupid. | |
| It'd be like me going and doing a PETA interview. | |
| It's like, yeah, I'm vegan, but I don't really fuck with PETA. | |
| Right. | |
| You know? | |
| You're like, oh, uh, Tony Black, welcome to the show. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I am Tony Black, and this is Minion Death Cult. | |
| Okay, so anyway, I laughed at this comment about Diamond and Silk being targeted because I do remember Diamond and Silk from the presidential campaign. | |
| I remember them being, like, trotted out during the campaign to, you know, cheer for Donald Trump and then trying to get money from the RNC and not getting any money. | |
| Like, I don't think they get paid for this shit at all, which is even worse. | |
| It's like, okay, you were saying, you know, it's like a mad TV sketch. | |
| It looks like a Tim and Eric casting job. | |
| Like, it's like Tim and Eric cast two clueless ladies to be pro-Trump people and then put them in front of a camera and let them say buzzwords like, Comey is not my homie. | |
| Yeah, it's them saying, hey, do an impression of your conservative auntie. | |
| It's fucking brutal. | |
| But okay, so I laughed at this comment because I was like, oh, that's really funny. | |
| Diamond and Silk being pulled out of this guy's ass for this comment. | |
| No, it turns out Diamond and Silk were referenced multiple times, used as examples by both Ted Cruz, Ben Sass. | |
| So Ted Cruz was like listing off conservative Accounts that have been blocked or banned or whatever he lists off like 20 of them And diamond and silk is one of them. | |
| There's like this like diamond and silk were on Fox News. | |
| Yeah today It's crazy diamond the words diamond and silk the characters diamond and silk were uttered in a congressional hearing today several times They were not talking about international trade They weren't talking about terrorists, they were talking about two ladies. | |
| So yeah, Joe Pepe says, with the exception of quote, diamond and silk, parentheses, the BLM, the Black Lives Mattered subhumans who assisted in the riots that caused cops to die, Ted Cruz nailed it out of the park again. | |
| I said subhumans. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I don't think he's a fan of the punk band. | |
| Nope. | |
| I think he's not a fan of black people either. | |
| I think he's a racist, yeah. | |
| Does he think that Diamond and Silk are pro-BLM just because they are black? | |
| I think he's probably confusing them for someone because it sounds like a troll. | |
| It sounds like a weird alt-right troll. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But I was looking at his replies, you know, because there were a lot, there were a hundred replies to this comment. | |
| I was looking, oh this had 471 likes by the way, I was looking through the replies and he was like just genuinely like arguing with people about it so I don't think he was trolling. | |
| Holy shit. | |
| It's just, yeah, real weird. | |
| Yeah, they're black so they're like subhumans and they caused cops to die. | |
| I totally missed that riot. | |
| I did not see that one. | |
| The one, the great cop massacre of, I don't know, probably what, where that would have been. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Uh, yeah, I don't know. | |
| What's like an anti-cop chant? | |
| Uh, fuckin' ACAB? | |
| Uh... No, like when you would do it in action. | |
| Anyway. | |
| Hey, go home, you fuckin' po-po. | |
| Stop, don't shoot? | |
| Hands up, don't shoot? | |
| Is that an anti...? | |
| Hands up, don't shoot? | |
| Yeah, I'm talking about the one where it's like Fry Piggy in a fan, in a pan. | |
| Anyway, uh... You guys know what I'm talking about, right? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| The old swine comments. | |
| So, Matthew Carter replies, uh, Joe Pepe, watch your mouth when you're talking about those two fine sistas. | |
| And, uh, Matthew Carter is a white dude wearing, uh, a snide look, sunglasses, and a stealer's beanie pulled down to these glasses and has a Ronald Reagan presidential photo for his cover photo. | |
| And so this is, this is how, like, This is how effective Diamond and Silk are as propaganda. | |
| They can bring out the black in the whitest people. | |
| So you get Matthew Carter putting some stank on this. | |
| Those two fine sistas. | |
| I'm down! | |
| Yeah, this is how you know he's sincere. | |
| You also get... | |
| Susan Spentano saying, you give it to them girls and don't back down to these Facebook sneaky liberals. | |
| Oh, but they're getting theirs, but good. | |
| Or you get Daniel Lee, uh, who owns his own welding business. | |
| I would marry either one of these beautiful, well-spoken women. | |
| They are the bomb. | |
| Well spoken is not one of their trademarks, and I'm a fan of their energy, as I've said. | |
| Fan of their energy, not of their content. | |
| Yeah, no, you agree about the part about them being the bomb. | |
| Yeah, just the wrong bomb. | |
| And then, uh, yeah, so, anyway, that's what Diamond and Silk do to these folks. | |
| That's why they're so effective. | |
| They're like fetishizing them now? | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| Well, it's their only window into black culture. | |
| They're like, oh look, some black people relate to my politics. | |
| You don't talk about them that way. | |
| I might want to sex them. | |
| Fuck. | |
| Ed Thomas says, why did Facebook feel the need to label my political preference under ad preferences on my profile? | |
| I never checked a box about my political leanings. | |
| Is it for censorship or targeting purposes? | |
| What else could it be? | |
| Why else could Facebook want to have information about me? | |
| What could they do with it? | |
| I mean, why would this be under ad preferences on my profile? | |
| What could it be? | |
| What could it mean? | |
| Shocker. | |
| Shocker. | |
| Political ad campaign is running you. | |
| This is something that went viral, and I didn't know about it until it was pointed out to me last week. | |
| And it is kind of a funny thing, but it's basically just transparency. | |
| It's just them saying, hey, this is what we're keeping track of. | |
| you can unclick the box now if you'd like and And yeah, and I of course got moderate centrist. | |
| Oh, that's funny. | |
| I think you wrote the book on that one. | |
| Highly intelligent. | |
| I realized that the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. | |
| Yeah, I got radical centrist. | |
| Where you like make other people realize that the truth is somewhere in the middle at gunpoint. | |
| By the way, you're welcome. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| He just, uh, he just, uh, he surfs, brah. | |
| And he, uh... Oh, yep. | |
| I get radical. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And he also, um, believes that, you know, the market should remain free and unregulated at all. | |
| I don't think that's a centrist. | |
| No, I don't know. | |
| That's more like libertarian bullshit. | |
| Yeah. | |
| They're all the same to me. | |
| Dave Papazoni says, Genocide of the handicapped aborted people have equal rights to the universe. | |
| Solving murders on Facebook is one reason I invest in Facebook. | |
| Man. | |
| That's... That guy's a fucking... fucking cuckoo. | |
| Uh, yeah, I, uh... | |
| The handicapped aborted people, so he's solving murders, so he's literally just going to like Planned Parenthood's Facebook page and checking the likes? | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's like murderer? | |
| Solved. | |
| Solved. | |
| Murderer? | |
| Solved. | |
| Yes, police? | |
| I'd like to report a murder. | |
| Like to report 5.6 million murders? | |
| Solved murders? | |
| Yeah, they're all solved, though. | |
| It's okay. | |
| I love how he goes on to elaborate which two genders he's talking about. | |
| Clarify! | |
| Facebook blocked me for several weeks because I said there were only two genders, male and female. | |
| I love how he goes on to elaborate which two genders he's talking about. | |
| Clarify, I wasn't, those are the two I picked. | |
| Even friends and friends of theirs. | |
| I don't know what that means. | |
| Uh, Amber Alert came up, and I could not provide value- valuable citing information. | |
| Let that sink in. | |
| Obviously, if the little girl died, Facebook could care less. | |
| So, like... So... Okay, let's take this- let's take this, like, step by step. | |
| So, Amber Alert came up, Where? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Not on Facebook. | |
| He's not allowed on Facebook. | |
| So the Amber Alert came up on his phone. | |
| You don't follow the Amber Alert feed? | |
| Fans of Amber Alerts? | |
| I do, but I can't when I'm blocked. | |
| True. | |
| See? | |
| But he says he knows it came up. | |
| He heard about it. | |
| Okay, you're making excuses here. | |
| Trying to get out of this series of questions I'm asking. | |
| Gotta pick this apart. | |
| So the alert came up on his phone and he wasn't able to provide valuable sighting information. | |
| So he thinks like Facebook controls his whole phone and not just the app. | |
| Well isn't that what the Amber Alert says? | |
| Amber Alert says is like, please share this on Facebook? | |
| Yeah, there's a buzz, a little widget on it. | |
| It's like, if you've seen this man in your people you might know section, please call this hotline. | |
| One share equals one find. | |
| I like to... | |
| I like to think he just got banned. | |
| He's like the only person to be banned from responding to the Amber Alert because he just kept typing in Comet Ping Pong Pizza. | |
| So no, she's definitely in the basement there. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What the fuck? | |
| Definitely. | |
| I've seen it. | |
| People don't get the whole why they're getting banned thing because they answer their own questions. | |
| People don't understand the algorithm that's being used to find hate. | |
| Hate speech is not allowed on Facebook, so when you post something about genders and you have a lot of shitty people following you, you're going to have people saying awful things in the comments. | |
| So yes, you were going to get banned because you were harboring hate speech in your feed. | |
| That's what all these people are getting banned for and they don't realize that. | |
| Yeah, or for saying terrible shit themselves. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Like his thing about there being only two genders was probably him harassing a trans person. | |
| It was probably pretty awful. | |
| Yeah, I'm sure. | |
| But obviously, if a Facebook girl had to die because they can't stand the truth, then so be it, right? | |
| Blood's on Facebook's hands. | |
| Dan Barger says, Facebook is spying on everything I look at on Amazon and other sites. | |
| Anything I look at always pops up on Facebook within hours or days after I search it. | |
| So there's no secrets on Facebook. | |
| Everyone's data is for sale. | |
| Fucking idiot. | |
| Okay, I mean, yes, everyone's data is for sale. | |
| Uh, second of all... Cookies, bro. | |
| Yeah, dude, you ever heard of cookies, bro? | |
| Disable cookies. | |
| Disable your cookies. | |
| Easy as fuck. | |
| It's crazy when I, uh... | |
| You ever see this thing at the top of your browser? | |
| If you look closely, it says... It says history? | |
| Have you ever looked at this? | |
| If you click on it, it shows you every single thing you've looked at in the last week. | |
| They have all that shit. | |
| They just have it. | |
| Your computer has it. | |
| Yeah, it's everywhere. | |
| Yeah, they're sharing it with the government. | |
| They've turned my own computer against me. | |
| Dude, it's crazy as fuck. | |
| Keep track of you. | |
| And so back to the Cambridge Analytica thing, I remembered what I wanted to finish saying about it. | |
| It's just that the only reason Cambridge Analytica is in hot water is because it bought data from another company who mined it legally. | |
| Yeah. | |
| The Obama administration did the same thing with collecting Facebook users' data. | |
| They just did it themselves. | |
| Cambridge Analytica bought the data, or rather, they sold the data. | |
| They sold the data. | |
| Yeah, to the campaign. | |
| Which you're not allowed to do under Facebook Terms of Service. | |
| But it's like a Terms of Service thing. | |
| It's not a law. | |
| It's a contract. | |
| Like an agreement. | |
| Alright, let's move on to this Ted Cruz post from Occupy Democrats. | |
| And so this is Ted Cruz interrogating Zuckerberg. | |
| And the way that this was described was Ted Cruz brutalized Zuckerberg over the silence of conservative voices during his testimony today. | |
| It was glorious. | |
| Jesus Christ. | |
| Ted Cruz brutalizes Zuckerberg. | |
| And this was this was the the phrase that was used in like two different posts. | |
| This is the same phrase that was used in like the Daily Callers post. | |
| It's like, first of all, Ted Cruz just did his like well-spoken or you know orator his his he he put on his high school debate voice and just asked Zuckerberg a bunch of leading questions and like that is their idea of brutalizing Zuckerberg these fucking nerds They use the harshest word possible and it's like not even anything close to that. | |
| They act like Zuckerberg was, you know, getting asses quenched and just wincing in pain and squirming in his seat. | |
| When we all know that Zuckerberg is incapable of feeling human pain. | |
| Yeah, he's data. | |
| Yeah, he's a cyborg for sure. | |
| He's a projection of an algorithm. | |
| It's cool. | |
| Ted Cruz renders Mark Zuckerberg. | |
| Physically disabled with his line of questioning. | |
| Oh man. | |
| At one point, Zuckerberg's face is replaced with the Apple wheel loading. | |
| Ted Cruz curb stomps Mark Zuckerberg's ideas. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| Yeah, I wish they would be more graphic like that. | |
| Gutted. | |
| Pure gutted. | |
| He stuck him like a pig. | |
| Ted Cruz. | |
| Yeah, but do it in like a headline. | |
| Ted Cruz! | |
| Sticks Zuck like a pig. | |
| Roasts him over an open fire. | |
| Eats his ass for dinner. | |
| Saves the rest for the week. | |
| Has it broken up into Tupperware in his freezer. | |
| Ted Cruz. | |
| Sows Mark Zuckerberg's asshole up and proceeds to keep on feedin' him. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And feedin' him. | |
| And feedin' him. | |
| Yes. | |
| I'm gonna make that one work one day. | |
| I've tried it several times. | |
| Yeah, this is the second time, I think. | |
| Maybe the third. | |
| Ted Cruz viciously assaults Zuckerberg. | |
| Rhetorically. | |
| Ted Cruz grabs Zuckerberg by the pussy. | |
| Oh, that would, yeah, that's the one. | |
| Becky Norris says, I followed the... Okay, so what I wanted to say about Ted Cruz, he just lists a bunch of, like, conservative accounts that were supposedly blocked or somehow targeted by Facebook, including Diamond and Silk, which we didn't say, but, like, the only thing I've been able to find about targeted harassment or targeted... | |
| Block it like I don't think they were banned from Facebook. | |
| Just somebody said that they couldn't click the see this account first button and Like they posted that video and and took it as Facebook was targeting them for being black women in support of Trump So Ted Cruz lists off a bunch of these companies and he's like Were you aware that Facebook was targeting these companies? | |
| And Mark Zuckerberg's like, uh, no. | |
| I'm not aware of that. | |
| What do you think my job is, bro? | |
| And then he goes, now are you aware of any liberal Facebook pages that were targeted by your company? | |
| And Mark Zuckerberg's like, no. | |
| I'm not aware of this. | |
| And the crowd's like, ooooh! | |
| Got him! | |
| That's gotta hoit! | |
| It's as if we were to be asking Ted Cruz, are you aware that a child was abused in your district? | |
| Did you know that? | |
| In your district. | |
| Somebody robbed somebody in your district. | |
| Yeah, Ted Cruz is like, what does the share feature mean to you, Mark Zuckerberg? | |
| And the headline is like, Ted Cruz physically disables Mark Zuckerberg. | |
| Mark Zuckerberg now a grotesque pile of quivering human flesh. | |
| R.I.P. | |
| Mark Zuckerberg. | |
| So, Chick-fil-A was another one of these lists. | |
| Becky Norris says, I followed the Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day movement on Facebook from its start. | |
| Facebook shut it down repeatedly to try and slow its movement. | |
| Or, because it was harboring disgusting homophobic, transphobic, and shitty, awful hatred on it, that's maybe what had something to do with it. | |
| Yeah, no, people who support a company that was the main proponent of Prop 8 were somehow bigoted and transphobic. | |
| I can't believe it. | |
| Yeah, no, this thing about Chick-fil-A is accurate. | |
| Same thing happened to the Chipotle Million Man March. | |
| Is that real? | |
| Yeah, like Facebook shut it down. | |
| It was like a free speech march that Chipotle put on. | |
| No, I'm just kidding. | |
| I wish, I wish. | |
| I can see that being some sort of weird, anti-humor, racist thing. | |
| Only one likes Chipotle. | |
| Stacy Kennerly Riley says: "Zuck told Cruz that he did not know the political leanings of his 15,000 content reviewers?" "Facebook knows my political leanings. | |
| They determined that, and it's actually posted in my settings. | |
| Just look at your own data. | |
| I'll wait. | |
| BRB, I'm gonna go check my settings. | |
| Yeah, so the... the answer here is, um... | |
| Don't discriminate against Facebook users by targeting them for their political beliefs. | |
| Make employers discriminate against their employees by targeting them for their political beliefs. | |
| We should have on the application, whenever you sign, just on your resume, you know, you should have to put your age, your orientation, your gender identity, your race, and your political affiliation in that way. | |
| You can be hired on, you know, the terms of who you really are as a person. | |
| Do I have a literal sliding scale that is on the form when you just put a little mark on where you think you've fallen there? | |
| Yeah, no, this is good. | |
| This is a great way to conduct a business. | |
| This is something that Zuckerberg should know. | |
| He should know. | |
| And he should only allow conservatives to be content reviewers because, you know, conservatives care about the truth. | |
| They don't let the facts hurt their feelings. | |
| They have no petty grievances. | |
| What's even better is, yeah, he doesn't know it, but he also can find out if he wants to. | |
| Yeah, he doesn't know off the top of his head, but if you give me the name of the reviewer you're looking for, I can look him up and tell you his leanings. | |
| I just, not off the top of my head. | |
| I don't got them all memorized. | |
| So, uh, Alexander Rodriguez has some interesting advice for Mark Zuckerberg. | |
| He says, OMG, Mark Zuckerberg should fire his PR team. | |
| First, I help CEOs look good and present it great on stage. | |
| One of my clients is worth more than Oprah. | |
| There's like, there's like five people. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And then we can probably figure it out. | |
| One of their clients is a sheik. | |
| It's a Saudi prince. | |
| I mean, they are doing pretty well in terms of America, so yes. | |
| That's the only person that we want to know that it could be. | |
| So here are Alexander's pieces of advice. | |
| One, why was Mark dressed in a suit and tie? | |
| That's not the Mark people know. | |
| So I think he's saying that Mark Zuckerberg literally should have showed up to the hearing in a zip-up hoodie? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I met Tom from Myspace one time, but I didn't recognize him because he wasn't wearing his white shirt. | |
| He wasn't like hunched over and walking away from you? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Zuckerberg should have been wearing the hoodie. | |
| Should have been the kid that played him. | |
| What's his name? | |
| Jesse Zuckerberg. | |
| Jesse Zuckerberg? | |
| Yeah. | |
| That is the kid, right? | |
| I have the name. | |
| It's Eisenberg. | |
| Eisenberg? | |
| Yeah. | |
| But I did a joke where his last name was the same. | |
| Yeah, so he should have been holding a cup of coffee and had a textbook under his other arm. | |
| Uh, great job on his intro. | |
| Okay, so good job on his intro. | |
| Three. | |
| Blame, blame, blame the other people. | |
| Quote, we didn't know they were doing that, but I assure you we were working on steps so it doesn't happen again. | |
| Oh, okay, so Alexander's saying that as a good leader, like Mark Zuckerberg, should have blamed other people. | |
| Four. | |
| Ted, I'm glad this happened because we need to make better safety measures for Facebook. | |
| This is beautiful PR writing. | |
| You gotta suck up to him. | |
| You gotta suck up to him a little bit. | |
| these good point i'm so grateful you are one of our senators you gotta suck up to him you gotta suck up to him a little bit god damn it ted i'm so happy you're one of the senators thank god i'm talking to you ted hey i mean let's face it We got 50 Senators, and hey, they're all great, right? | |
| 50 Senators? | |
| Excuse me, I meant 100 Senators. | |
| Two from each state. | |
| Love this system. | |
| All the Senators are good. | |
| Ted, you're a Senator. | |
| You're a great one. | |
| Ted, I'm looking at your Facebook page, and we got a lot in common. | |
| I can see everything you like, and I can tell we're gonna get along like gangbusters. | |
| You want to come to a barbecue? | |
| I'm going to have your favorite Farmer John Hot Links. | |
| Yeah, I mean if you said any of that to me, I would be like, oh jeez, investigation on called off. | |
| No more investigating. | |
| We got to get to this barbecue. | |
| Six, Mark should open an office in Texas too. | |
| So just like to get a softball interview from Ted Cruz, you're going to open up an entire office in his home state. | |
| This is great advice. | |
| You know, Ted, we were thinking about opening up a new office down there in Tejas. | |
| And every single place is going to have your favorite barbecue sauce ready to go. | |
| And your favorite soda right on tap. | |
| I know what your favorite is because I have all the data. | |
| Well gosh, Mark Zuckerberg, that just sounds wonderful. | |
| And I can't believe I would have accused you of targeting conservatives with anything other than delicious barbecue sauce. | |
| God bless you too, Ted. | |
| Overall, Facebook does look bad. | |
| Am I going to delete it? | |
| No! | |
| Facebook needs a better PR department and a good communication president. | |
| Our Mark is going to be the next Tom from MySpace. | |
| Better watch out, Mark. | |
| God, if Mark plays his cards right, he might be as successful as Tom from MySpace. | |
| Actually, if he doesn't pay attention, or Mark is going to be the next Tom, if he doesn't heed the warnings, he's going to end up just like Tom. | |
| Oh, yeah, I guess that isn't it. | |
| But still, Tom sold the company for literally a billion dollars, right? | |
| He's fine. | |
| He's doing very well. | |
| He's doing extremely well compared to everybody except Mark Zuckerberg. | |
| Yeah, Tom didn't ruin MySpace. | |
| And then Patricia responds to that with, yep. | |
| True, because the like wasn't enough. | |
| I love those comments. | |
| A like is enough. | |
| You have to take it a second step. | |
| Frida Beachwalker, who comes from a family of beachwalkers, says, they allow Muslims to post beheadings. | |
| How is that right? | |
| But they take Diamond and Silk down because they are black women and conservatives? | |
| Minority three times! | |
| So, Frida is referring to the fact that they're black. | |
| Minority. | |
| Women. | |
| Oh, definitely a minority. | |
| Not 51% of the population. | |
| Definitely a minority. | |
| And conservative. | |
| Conservatives are the minority? | |
| Oh, they're probably the biggest minority. | |
| Because minority just means you're being persecuted, right? | |
| Right. | |
| Yes. | |
| That's what the word means. | |
| Minority means you like, you like, feel sorry for yourself. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I love that. | |
| They're triple minorities. | |
| They're fucking like, minority, minorities cubed. | |
| I don't know if you knew this, but because of math, three negatives is still a negative. | |
| Even more negative. | |
| Put Diamond and Silk back on now. | |
| We as conservative and Christian have a right to voice our views. | |
| Period. | |
| End of story. | |
| So first thing about this comment. | |
| They allow Muslims to post beheadings. | |
| A, I don't think that's true. | |
| I think if there's a video with beheadings going on in it, and it is at all reported to Facebook, because that's how Facebook works. | |
| You have to report something before Facebook will take it down. | |
| Even if you report it, doesn't mean they're gonna take it down. | |
| Even if it's violent and racist, they probably won't take it down. | |
| Because Facebook is just, it's just an algorithm. | |
| It's not people actually looking at it. | |
| It's a computer seeing if it fits the algorithm. | |
| And if it doesn't, then it stays up. | |
| And the idea that because these like... | |
| 25 companies that Ted Cruz listed were somehow, you know, cancelled or blocked or shut down by Facebook. | |
| Yeah, it sounds like a lot of companies when Ted Cruz is speaking them because you just don't want to listen to Ted Cruz talk anymore, but no, it's... | |
| There are millions of conservative Facebook pages on Facebook, and they're all doing fine, except maybe the 20 that were shut down because they were racist or transphobic or homophobic. | |
| All for good reason. | |
| These aren't surprise takedowns. | |
| These all violated the contract. | |
| They just got caught. | |
| Go figure. | |
| The party that doesn't recognize Muslims as human beings or calls trans people mentally ill. | |
| Surprise, surprise, that party might have some problematic stuff in its posts. | |
| But freedom of speech, man. | |
| Like, this podcast that we do is a living example of the fact that Facebook does not silence conservatives. | |
| Yes. | |
| Even the worst conservatives have a free platform on Facebook. | |
| We would have nothing to talk about. | |
| We would not have the opposite problem where we would talk too much about it because there's so much good stuff out there that's terrible. | |
| Right. | |
| We wouldn't have to do two fucking episodes in one night because we have too much content. | |
| No, and this is a theme. | |
| This is that persecution theme. | |
| That desperation to be the minority. | |
| The desperation to be the persecuted, you know, underdog of your own narrative. | |
| Like, that's what this all is. | |
| And we see it all the time. | |
| I see it all the fucking time. | |
| People literally commenting Oh. | |
| Conservatives can't even argue. | |
| Can't even argue with a liberal on Facebook or they'll get shut down. | |
| You see somebody write, I'm not allowed to post on Facebook. | |
| On Facebook. | |
| In a comment section. | |
| In a comment. | |
| Posting about saying I can't post. | |
| I'm not allowed to say this thing I'm saying. | |
| You're not really reading this. | |
| It's insane. | |
| There were comments. | |
| So this whole thing about Diamond and Silk getting shut down. | |
| They were never blocked. | |
| Their Facebook page was up the whole time. | |
| They still have 1.4 million Facebook likes. | |
| All their posts and videos have like 74,000 likes. | |
| Yeah, YouTube was popping. | |
| Well, that's a different company, bro. | |
| True. | |
| Like, literally a comment on one of their videos was, Mark Zuckerberg, please put Diamond and Silk back on Facebook. | |
| I miss them. | |
| In the comments section of a Diamond and Silk post. | |
| Like, what the fuck? | |
| What do these people think Facebook is? | |
| Like they think Facebook is just the sidebar of the news sidebar, the trending topics. | |
| They're like, you took them off the sidebar? | |
| Put them back over there. | |
| Put them back on, I haven't seen them. | |
| I haven't seen them on the news in forever. | |
| They're just totally missing the point. | |
| But they're the ones that use it the most and understand it the least. | |
| It's interesting that you say they understand it the least because, yes, they understand the product, like they understand the workings of, you know, the technical aspect of it. | |
| But they really understand how to use it effectively. | |
| And I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, you know, because there are so many boomers and greatest generation members on Facebook that they all just get each other. | |
| So it's like easy to make things go viral for them. | |
| It's, it's, it's, they, They transferred from their old emails. | |
| Remember when people used to get emails? | |
| Yeah, chain emails. | |
| And now it's even better. | |
| It's even better because it's like a venue for your chain emails. | |
| You don't have to check an email anymore. | |
| It's just right there in front of you. | |
| I'm just saying, it's like they're like bad at Facebook, but they're also really good at Facebook. | |
| Like that one woman we covered two or three days ago. | |
| She had like 3,000 followers on Facebook and she was just boomer posting all day. | |
| It was like, like if you support Trump, 300 likes. | |
| And what's funny is like, so they're anti-Facebook, and there is a whole movement about being anti-Facebook. | |
| Did you see the Delete Facebook hashtag? | |
| Oh yeah, today was like the conservative day of silence on Facebook. | |
| Yeah, and so, Delete Facebook has well over 700 individual tweets. | |
| You know, it's like, it's being everywhere. | |
| Delete Facebook is a huge thing right now, and they're not even literally deleting Facebook. | |
| They're just talking about it elsewhere, like they're doing it. | |
| Well, today was litera- 4-11 was supposed to be the conservative day of silence. | |
| It's like, day without a Mexican? | |
| Oh yeah? | |
| How about day without a boomer? | |
| On Facebook. | |
| Not in the world, on Facebook. | |
| Who's gonna Google search directions on your Facebook wall today, huh? | |
| Who's gonna do that for you? | |
| Who's gonna poke you today? | |
| Who's gonna flirt with the fake female account that just followed him today? | |
| Who's gonna flirt with their daughter's friend? | |
| Uh, yeah. | |
| So I don't know if that happened. | |
| There was still a lot of Facebook today. | |
| Oh, did we talk about who... Is it now a good time to talk about who did delete Facebook? | |
| Yeah, sure. | |
| So people were, you know, us leftists, us lefties, you know, I'm going to stop saying us now because these are these soft-ass... | |
| People who are like, I'm going to make a statement. | |
| I'm going to delete my Facebook. | |
| And some celebrities made a big to-do about deleting their Facebook. | |
| My favorite one might've been Jim Carrey, who is an artist now. | |
| He's done some, he's got a video about him doing art now. | |
| I saw his Trump portrait. | |
| Well he did one now that says fake book. | |
| We really stuck it to him. | |
| Delete your Facebook. | |
| Will Ferrell deleted his Facebook. | |
| Elon Musk is my favorite one because he never had a Facebook. | |
| He's always known better but he did delete the SpaceX Facebook. | |
| Are you serious? | |
| Yeah. | |
| The funny thing is they talked about this on Twitter because Twitter doesn't call any data. | |
| Dude, my mind is reeling. | |
| This is all so lame. | |
| It's so lame. | |
| Someone said, hey Elon, you know your SpaceX data is out there because Facebook has it. | |
| He's like, oh, there is a SpaceX Facebook? | |
| I didn't know that. | |
| I'm going to get rid of it and got rid of it. | |
| Like so lame. | |
| So fucking lame. | |
| Well see that's no that's like a big sacrifice because Elon Musk is like a like a tech guy you know he's like a real smart computer guy and like if he's willing to delete Facebook then I think we all should be able to make that sacrifice. | |
| Well now I just trust talking to my Tesla about all my secrets more. | |
| Yeah, so what is their beef with Facebook? | |
| The Cambridge Analytica thing? | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| They can't trust it, they're putting information out there. | |
| The information that we literally type into there, click send, click share, put it out there in the world, we're now mad that people see it? | |
| People know it? | |
| That a company has it? | |
| You're mad that a company that you gave it to has it? | |
| It's such backwards thinking. | |
| This huge conglomerate has a monopoly in social media, has this overwhelming power to shape politics. | |
| Uh, guide political movements or send them, you know, warbling off course. | |
| Um, my response? | |
| Uh, I'm gonna delete it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| In your face. | |
| Like, not try, you know, not try to, like, regulate it or nationalize it or make it a utility. | |
| Like, any of the things that are obviously the only fucking response to any of this. | |
| One of my favorite old, old Senator takes was people just not really understanding what it was. | |
| One of the Senators asked him, so what's, listen, I want to use Facebook, but you clearly have a monopoly on Facebook. | |
| I just want to have a Facebook, but not use Facebook was saying that. | |
| And then another one is, Hey, uh, listen, how about you get rid of the ads on Facebook? | |
| And Mark Zuckerberg is like, well, it's a free thing that you guys get for free. | |
| Somebody has to pay for it. | |
| And they were kind of like, but why? | |
| Why does somebody have to pay for this? | |
| No, that's good. | |
| Yeah, no just a little push Right falls right into communism. | |
| So what we're saying is if we just if we just have taxes pay for Facebook Yeah, that's literally what I'm saying. | |
| Yeah, it's easy. | |
| That's that's the way to go. | |
| See I like that way. | |
| I want Facebook, but no but without Facebook. | |
| Uh, Brian J Hargrave says, uh, no he cannot define hate speech. | |
| So this was, I think, Ben Sass talking to Mark Zuckerberg and he was like, uh, what is your definition of hate speech? | |
| And then IJR Media was like, oh shit! | |
| Ben Sass steps all over Mark Zuckerberg's nuts. | |
| Uh, Mark, what if someone's using the n-word, but they themselves are an n-word? | |
| How come they could do it? | |
| It's not fair! | |
| What if I'm just singing a song, Mark? | |
| What if I'm just singing a really old song? | |
| Ryan, yeah, so Ryan J. Hargrave responds, No, he cannot define hate speech. | |
| But I bet you he can tell you he hated to be there! | |
| Put on the spot! | |
| Zing. | |
| Got him. | |
| About damn time his ridiculous censorship be revised because it's simply to push the hidden agenda. | |
| He's a global socialist with the O.W.O. | |
| which is like a combination of the O.W.G. | |
| One World Government and New World Order. | |
| N.W.O. | |
| One World Order? | |
| One World Order. | |
| Fuck. | |
| That's sick. | |
| That makes me want to like bleach my goatee and wear a bandana and sleeveless shirts and start my own O.W.O. | |
| But it's like all, it's O.W.O. | |
| So it, it's all caps O.W.O. | |
| So it looks just kind of like, like a burb emoji. | |
| Like a cute anime burb emoji. | |
| It's cute. | |
| So it's like global socialist with the burb movement, which will be his downfall. | |
| Money couldn't talk for you this time now, could it Mark? | |
| No, yeah, I'm sure all those thousands of dollars he donated to members of Congress will have no effect on the outcome of this. | |
| And the most obvious point, like I said earlier, no, he didn't hate it. | |
| He doesn't feel anything. | |
| More than anything, he was just like, oh, this is not what I allotted my time for today. | |
| You know, he brought like three immaculately measured out Bottles of Soylent he had stacked under and he's like watching his stopwatch getting ready to drink the second bottle. | |
| I heard that, spoilers, I heard that he actually was astral projecting himself there to take on Ted Cruz in the final lightsaber battle. | |
| Oh shit, and that's why nothing is penetrating him. | |
| Exactly. | |
| All these vicious barbs that Ted Cruz is throwing at him aren't landing. | |
| If you look closely, the salt is not moving under his feet. | |
| Last comment, Sally Aragoni says, so did Zuckerberg say that because his company is located in California they censor according to how Californians feel about the subject? | |
| I want to say yeah, like that's why every single post on Facebook is so chill. | |
| You can actually, the Shaka is now the new response you can put on there. | |
| Yeah, that's why everybody's wearing puka shells and sleeveless shirts. | |
| It's part of Facebook. | |
| It's that Cali lifestyle, baby. | |
| Everybody's listening to 311. | |
| Remember early Facebook, when you signed up, you had to put in the size rainbow sandal you wore, and they would just send you a pair? | |
| Yeah, you know they have a lifetime warranty? | |
| Yeah, not anymore. | |
| The liberals probably ruined that one too. | |
| This is like the only thing I knew about rainbow sandals. | |
| Now how am I going to talk about rainbow sandals? | |
| Yeah, they don't honor it. | |
| It's a goddamn shame. | |
| Alright, don't ever bring up rainbow sandals on this podcast now because I won't have anything to say about them. | |
| I can still wear them though, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay, cool. | |
| Yeah, so Mark Zuckerberg was like, We do have a problem, because we are in Silicon Valley, which is an extremely left-leaning environment, and it's... Yeah, it's just those communists that own Apple and Google and Facebook. | |
| It's just... We need some balance. | |
| We need to get some capitalists in there as well. | |
| Some of these take control. | |
| Dude, it's such fucking nonsense. | |
| Another comment that I responded to was like, ironically, these Facebook CEOs and Google CEOs are all extremely leftist, except under a communist government, they'd be hanged or put in a gulag. | |
| And it's like, You're almost there, dude. | |
| You're so close to being there. | |
| You think anyone is gonna get the spark and they're gonna figure it out? | |
| I don't think you could, because if you go from where they're at now to anywhere, anywhere I'm understanding, you would get like a nosebleed. | |
| You just wouldn't be able to comprehend. | |
| Honestly, like, I think this plays into our hands, because basically, like, Calling Obama a socialist and a communist for eight years? | |
| Like, what happens when a real communist or socialist runs for president, or Congress, or the Senate? | |
| Like, what are you gonna call them? | |
| You're gonna go, oh, this is the real communist! | |
| No, no, he's worse. | |
| Well, I don't know. | |
| He's not black, so... How could he possibly be worse? | |
| We gotta try one of these white communists. | |
| We gotta try one of these white socialists. | |
| Get one of them in there. | |
| No, yeah, socialist and communist, like, people just think that means black. | |
| Which I mean, I don't know, it's a little early, but do you have something to say to the people, Alex? | |
| Do you want to throw your hat in the ring? | |
| I am not aware of a current candidacy for office at this time. | |
| Uh oh. | |
| He's not not saying, guys. | |
| Yeah, I'm not aware of that. | |
| Yeah, it's just funny that the idea that just because you're in fucking California or in Silicon Valley and you think trans people are human, that means you're a leftist. | |
| That means you're a socialist or a communist. | |
| I wanted to recommend, we're about done with this episode, but I wanted to recommend a couple episodes, or I guess just one episode of a podcast called Citations Needed, which is a media analysis and criticism podcast. | |
| It's a very leftist podcast, and they're very intelligent dudes, but they're also very engaging, and they just did an episode on The liberal media's infatuation with humoring and hiring and insisting upon reasonable Republicans. | |
| Yeah, giving them a voice. | |
| Giving them a voice, the sort of idea that, well, we need to have diversity of opinion. | |
| As liberals we need to accept opposing ideas and be able to argue them and be and be able to disagree with them and it's this weird it's this weird uh Psychology that only exists in the liberal mind, because it does not exist in the mind of the conservative. | |
| You'd think anybody on Fox News is like, we need to entertain socialism. | |
| We need to have somebody on here to express a diversity of opinion. | |
| No, that's exactly why Diamond and Silk have a voice. | |
| It's just so fucking lame. | |
| Yes, we engage in debate. | |
| We don't put him on our team. | |
| No, no, get that guy. | |
| He's on roids. | |
| Get him. | |
| He's doping. | |
| We need him. | |
| Yeah, it's so stupid. | |
| If we get him on our team, then we can... Then he's our piece of shit. | |
| Yeah, then we can change him for the better. | |
| Like, no, it's the newest episode of Citations Needed. | |
| They go over it, and basically the conclusion is that liberals tend to agree with conservatives on a lot of things. | |
| A lot of things. | |
| And that's why they don't mind sharing spaces with conservatives. | |
| It's a very good episode, I would highly recommend that. | |
| I was going to recommend something else. | |
| I don't remember now. | |
| That's alright. | |
| That's it. | |
| That's the episode. | |
| This is a weird one. | |
| We went really long, so we just split it into two episodes. | |
| That way I didn't have to stay up trying to figure out how to condense two hours into one tonight. | |
| Thank you for listening. | |
| Thanks guys. | |
| Go delete your Facebook, and by delete your Facebook I really mean go on Facebook, engage in conversation on Minion Death Commandos. | |

| If we get to a certain goal, we might have an incentive for people. | |
| Yeah, we're at $67 now on Patreon, which is crazy. | |
| If we get to $100, I think we all kind of agreed tonight, we're going to make those shirts. | |
| We'll make the shirt happen. | |
| We'll make the shirts happen and we'll do like a giveaway on the shirt. | |
| So we only really need a few of you guys to do that, and I think you'd be pumped to be the one to take us there. | |
| You'll be the one that brings us the shirts. | |
| Yeah, I think like 10 more people would do it. | |
| And if you do it right now, you're probably number 10, so do that. | |
| Finally, next Wednesday, the 18th, 4-18, is a Inland Empire DSA meeting. | |
| A meeting for the Inland Empire chapter, the unofficial, as of yet, internet Inland Empire chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. | |
| It's still very small. | |
| It's still in its embryonic stage. | |
| I went to the last meeting. | |
| It seems to be a fairly good group of people. | |
| We need more people to join. | |
| We especially need women and people of color to come and make their voices heard and help shape this burgeoning movement. | |
| We're interested in Workers' rights in the Inland Empire, women's rights, minority rights, immigrant rights. | |
| These are all areas that we are organizing toward. | |
| So that is Wednesday the 18th in Riverside, California at Back to the Grind Coffee Shop. | |
| I believe it's... | |
| 7 p.m.? | |
| Yeah, it's 7 p.m. | |
| Back to the grind. | |
| April 18th. | |
| 7 p.m. | |

| Thanks for listening. |
