=== Zuckerberg's Free Speech Pledge (03:05) ===

[00:00:00]  Hat tip, Daily Wire.
[00:00:01]  Zuckerberg says Meta is restoring free speech.
[00:00:03]  He'll get rid of the fact checkers.
[00:00:05]  So Zuckerberg announced yesterday that his company was implementing major changes to its censorship and fact-checking policies across all platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
[00:00:15]  By the way, follow me on Facebook and Instagram at The Carl Jackson Show.
[00:00:19]  Por favor.
[00:00:20]  So he posted this video.
[00:00:22]  On Facebook, and he said that Meta would no longer work with independent fact checkers.
[00:00:27]  Now, when he says independent fact checkers, I wonder if he means some of the Chinese communists that were working there.
[00:00:35]  I wonder.
[00:00:36]  In restrictions on topics like gender and immigration.
[00:00:40]  And scale back filters that censor people from innocuous posts.
[00:00:44]  Zuckerberg said that Mata would focus on ensuring free expression, saying that the recent election seemed like a, quote, cultural tipping point.
[00:00:52]  Now, I'm thankful.
[00:00:53]  You know, I don't want to beat up on the guy too bad because I'm thankful that he is doing this.
[00:00:57]  And I hope he's having a come-to-Jesus moment.
[00:01:00]  But I doubt it.
[00:01:02]  But I'm hopeful.
[00:01:04]  I'm hopeful, all right, that he's having a come-to-Jesus moment.
[00:01:07]  You know, I'm kind of like, is this conviction or is this political expediency?
[00:01:11]  I tend to believe this is political expediency.
[00:01:14]  But again, I'll take it because free speech is so important.
[00:01:18]  It is paramount in the United States.
[00:01:20]  It's not like Sharia law, where if you don't accept the religion of the Islamists, then you're dead.
[00:01:27]  All right?
[00:01:28]  So that's not what America is.
[00:01:30]  In America, we have Judeo-Christian values, meaning we...
[00:01:34]  Meaning we adhere to biblical principles, but we also respect all life.
[00:01:40]  We respect all religions, but we understand that they have to come under the umbrella of Judeo-Christian values in order for that to work.
[00:01:51]  Otherwise, if you have Sharia law, if you have biblical values, it's not going to work, right?
[00:01:56]  A bunch of agnostic values, it's simply not going to work.
[00:02:01]  But the left understands this.
[00:02:03]  I'm thankful that this guy is waking up.
[00:02:05]  Mark Zuckerberg has apparently seen the light.
[00:02:09]  And now Meta is going to be a free speech zone, Facebook, Instagram, so on, etc.
[00:02:14]  And hallelujah for that.
[00:02:16]  I believe it's a little late, but I'll take it.
[00:02:18]  I believe it's political expediency.
[00:02:20]  I'll take it.
[00:02:21]  The one thing that I do take comfort in is if there's an ounce of American DNA in anybody, they always thirst for freedom.
[00:02:32]  Meta is going to be moving to Texas, he says.
[00:02:34]  He says Meta's trust and safe and content moderation teams would move from California to Texas.
[00:02:40]  The only thing that sucks about that, I don't know if you guys have ever read these stories, but oftentimes even conservative organizations will move their companies out from liberal zones, liberal states like California, but a lot of their employees will continue voting Democrat.

=== Mainstream Media's Silence (00:46) ===

[00:02:54]  So make sure you just share with your employees.
[00:02:56]  If they vote for Democrats, you'll fire them.
[00:02:58]  Just kidding, sort of.
[00:02:59]  And then also, He says more political content will be allowed.
[00:03:04]  But I want you to take note of this.
[00:03:05]  Here's something that he said, or he noted, that the Biden administration pushed Meta to censor content.
[00:03:12]  And of course, that came out with the Twitter files, but the mainstream media did everything they could to try to ignore those.
[00:03:19]  Thank God for Elon Musk and what he's doing.
[00:03:23]  Here's something that Zuckerberg said, too, that I thought was profound, and I got to give him credit for.
[00:03:28]  He did say, by going after us, And other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further.
