Time Text
I want to talk about something important today, because it's time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram.
I started building social media to give people a voice.
I gave a speech at Georgetown five years ago about the importance of protecting free expression, and I still believe this today.
But a lot has happened over the last several years.
There's been widespread debate about potential harms from online content.
Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more.
A lot of this is clearly political.
I'm not playing this entire thing because I will not be able to get through the five minutes.
It's on my Twitter feed.
I'll talk about it afterwards.
We have limited time with our initial guest, Brianna Morello, but I wanted to highlight something here.
I want to talk about something important today, because it's time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram.
That presumes the roots exist, which they never did on Facebook or Instagram, but hold on, here, this.
I started building social media to give people a voice.
He built Facebook so that, from what I understand, horny frat students could rate the sexual appeal of other women unbeknownst to them.
Oh, you know, he wanted to give people a voice, all right.
You want to give people a voice to humiliate and shame other women online.
My goodness.
Okay, forget it.
I'll get into that afterwards because we've got a guest and we're going to get into two big stories that she's covering.
Brianna Morello, who many of you might know because I thought that she was the journalist who went through the...
I'm doing...
Brianna, I'm going to bring you in.
I'm doing it as a joke.
I have not only...
Oh, goodness.
Brianna, you look like the journalist who was in that video to begin with.
But I have clarified, and my goodness, I'm having a debate online as to whether or not an apology is required when you make a mistake of fact that is not accusatory.
But bottom line, I apologize to you privately.
You are not the journalist in that video, but that's how this all came to be.
So what a fortuitous mistake it was.
Brianna, for those who don't know who you are, we will not delve into childhood, but just who are you?
How'd you get here?
And we're going to talk about the stories.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you for having me.
I've worked in the corporate media world for over 10 years.
Fox News, Newsmax, local news, ESPN, Major League Baseball as a journalist.
And then I ventured off to the independent world when Fox tried to get me to take the jab and I said no.
And so now we've started this independent platform.
And like you showed in the video, as an independent journalist, I would have known a little bit better than to just walk in.
I probably would have called an attorney and asked for a lawyer's permission before doing so, considering all of the stakes that are so high.
But yeah.
It's been great since because independent journalism is going to save this country, and I truly believe in that, and that's what we're doing right now.
I don't want to get into it for too long, but you were at Fox News.
You were at a bunch of big names.
How many years were you there for?
Fox was two years.
Yeah. Okay.
And with the environment, you know what?
I won't even ask you because I don't want you to speak ill of former employers.
You're independent now because you were...
Forced out for very personal decisions.
And I don't know.
You don't look like you harbor much resentment.
Do you harbor resentment about it?
Or was it all for the better?
Yeah, I think it worked out all for the better.
And the time that it was all going down, I was a little upset with Fox.
So I was working remotely.
I had worked for them for two years.
So I'd worked for them in the office in New York City for about a year.
Then I had moved to Florida and worked somewhere else, then came back to Fox remotely.
And then they wanted me to come back into the office and work in the office.
But what they left out was the simple fact that if I were to come back to the office, they would require me to comply with the New York City private sector vaccine mandate, which meant that I had to either be vaccinated or I was going to get put on unpaid.
So I got an email forwarded to me, and it's insane to think that this even happened, forwarded to me the day that I took off from work to unpack my things and to let movers into my new apartment in New York City.
And sadly, that didn't work out because they literally that afternoon forwarded me an email saying that I was going to get put on unpaid leave if I didn't get the jab.
So initially, it was tough because Fox was trying to, one of the executives was trying to tell me I could be on air and I should just take it.
Or just filed for an exemption.
I just decided that I wasn't going to comply in any capacity at all.
And so I just decided to leave.
So at the time, it was very upsetting because I didn't have a job lined up.
But it worked out in the end because now I've got to cover the stories that I think are really important.
Well, I can tell you right now, I just heard all of my audience fall in love with you if they didn't know you before that.
But it's fantastic.
And not everybody had the, I say, courage or ability to do that.
And not everybody made the same decision.
So we got to meet each other because of the New Orleans terror incident.
And that journalist, like I said in the video, I wasn't even angry at the journalist.
I just would never have done it in a million years.
So you've got some good contacts as relates to this story.
Without getting into sources and methods, what's the latest and who are you talking to that's telling you what's going on on the ground in New Orleans?
Yeah, well, sadly, the FBI isn't trying to be transparent.
They're usually the ones who dodge me quite often.
There was multiple outlets that went in and did a whole tour of the facility, or the home, I should say.
And ultimately, they said that on Thursday, they cleared the home.
So the day after the terror attack, they cleared it after they went through it, and they released it back to the property owner.
The property owner let the journalist into the home to look around, which is very strange, because I talk to FBI agents, former federal prosecutors.
They all say that it takes days to go through a home, especially after a terror attack.
A lot of them were very concerned that the FBI didn't do the job that it needed to do to sift through everything.
And then you look at the footage and you go through it and...
The New York Post journalist shows you that there's a desk with electronics, she says, and one of the items that's visible on the desk appears to be a laptop.
Now, other FBI agents tell me, too, that looks like a laptop.
I know there's a lot of people who think it might be a cooling pad, but it looks like a laptop.
So I've asked the FBI now three times why they didn't take that laptop with them as evidence.
I also asked them, because as she goes through the property, she shows you that there's a Koran left behind, there's Islamic material left behind, as well as a Bible.
So I asked why they didn't take it.
Take all of that as well, because we obviously know that religion was a motive behind this, and they didn't respond.
And then you look at the countertop.
There's the warrant, which says it's sealed, and there's a copy left behind, which they're supposed to be doing.
And then there's also the receipt of the items they took from the home, the FBI.
But when I talk to FBI agents who have done several warrants on homes, they say that those notes In regards to the receipt, are usually handwritten because the agents are on the scene and they're writing what they've actually taken from the home and give a carbon copy to the property owner so that they have it for their records.
But the odd part in it is that receipt is actually typed up.
It's not handwritten.
And they thought that was pretty strange because who would have a computer on hand and who would have a printer on hand?
It's not something that normally is done by the FBI.
And that's right there on the counter.
Yeah. First of all, everybody, you're going to tell me.
It doesn't look like Brianna in this movie.
It doesn't matter.
I would never wear yoga pants on a crime scene or any reporter.
Maybe that was the implicit insult.
I have nothing for or against yoga pants.
It's not just that it's there like the orgy of evidence out of a minority report.
You can actually read what I presume contains some confidential information.
It's going to have the property address, I presume.
I'm almost scared to look.
Yeah. Look at this.
Sample of, I mean, okay, you've been doing this for longer than I have, and you have contacts within.
There's nothing normal about this.
This is absolutely abnormal.
Yeah, yeah.
My FBI contacts say there's nothing normal about this.
Federal prosecutors also saying the same thing, and they were very confused.
Actually, one of them thought it was fake.
He didn't think this was a real tour, and I said no.
I mean, they're confirming that she got a real tour of it, and it wasn't by the FBI.
It was the property, yeah.
This is the address of the property in what that journalist posted.
It's like being let into the Capitol building, and you think you're okay, and then they're going to come and say, what did you publish to the internet?
There's nothing that's been bagged, tagged.
When we say, oh, there's just a valise sitting here.
This is the Koran, open up to a page, and he's got the, I guess because he maybe was not born speaking Arabic, he's got the English alliterations.
It's this.
Okay, so the cooling pad for the computer was at the beginning, correct?
Right here, okay.
Yep, so it's right there.
So if you could zoom in a little bit, it does look like a laptop.
Absolutely, they've got the logo there.
I mean, I'd say it almost looks like a Lenovo, but there's no question.
She says electronics too, by the way.
I know there's a lot of people on X saying that it's not a laptop, but she says these are the electronics they left behind when she's giving you the tour.
It is.
I can't zoom in on the video, but...
Holy cow.
So you have contacts.
How does it work, actually, if I could ask?
With your contacts within the FBI, they have field offices and then they have their federal umbrella, overarching entity.
How does it work in terms of who you get to talk to and who they answer to?
Yeah, so for an investigation like this, I contact the field office directly.
They do have a media line for journalists to reach out and ask questions, and so that's where I go with these questions.
So that's kind of where you go.
You don't ask New Orleans.
This happened in Houston, so I'd ask the Houston field office for these details, and that's the one who gave me these responses.
And the strange part about all of this, just the following day, so keep in mind, terrorist attack happened last Wednesday.
The FBI cleared the home Thursday morning.
By the way, that New York Post reporter reported to the So she claims in her tweets that she got there at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, I believe.
So she beat the FBI to his home, which is very strange as well.
So the FBI looked at the home, I guess, from Wednesday after 1 p.m. Eastern Time, cleared it by Thursday morning, back to the homeowner, the property owner, received their property back so they were able to gain access to the property.
And then there's a local news reporter who went back on Friday.
And according to this local news reporter, So I reached out specifically to the sheriff's office because I do know him.
Not personally, but I've known him for quite some time now on X and stuff.
I did ask him, I said, hey, what's going on here?
Are you guys actually going through the house now to find evidence?
And he said he can't give me comments, but the investigation is being led by the FBI.
So I sent that to my FBI friends again.
They tell me, Brianna, that just means that they're lending their resources temporarily to the FBI to help them out because they probably just need some men out there to help them.
They might not have all the agents that they need, so they're sealing off the property and the FBI might actually be coming back to collect more evidence.
So I think, and I asked the FBI if they went back to go collect evidence after I complained to them about leaving all these items behind, and they don't want to comment on it.
They told me to go back to their website, where their website actually says, page error.
So if you go to their website for press releases, it's not there.
And then the FBI told me they're aware that it's not there.
They're working on it.
And we were DMing, and I asked you, did any one of your contacts at the FBI, if you had asked them, did they answer whether or not that entire crime scene technically is basically spoiled now?
Is it a contaminated crime scene?
No, they didn't say any of that.
And that's the thing, too.
I think that they continue to push that this is a single person who was acting that day.
Now, that wasn't the original narrative they told us.
I'm sure you remember.
But I felt like I was going crazy.
They said it's not a terror attack, although they had the ISIS flag there.
Maybe they thought that was a gag.
Then they said he didn't act alone.
There were accomplices planting IEDs throughout New Orleans.
They've got the video footage.
I then tweeted out, how long did you have that video footage for when you said...
That he acted alone.
It was highlighting some contradictions.
Then they come out and say, no, it was a terrorist attack and no, he was acting alone.
Although you've seen his travel plans.
He went to Egypt, went up to Canada, Ontario, which for good or bad has a very high population of immigrant population.
And it's very questionable, if not outright obvious, that he was not acting alone.
And the only question is...
They typically say we do not comment on the existence or whatever of an investigation, and yet here they're offering a bunch of information early on that turns out to be 180 degrees inverted from reality.
I mean, I don't have any experience with this.
What's your take on it?
Yeah, I think they're intentionally trying to cause confusion.
And the key part about where he traveled to Egypt is right by Libya.
And Libya has an extended history of training terrorists.
And we're very well versed in that.
So it could be that our federal government missed this, that he might have traveled to Libya after arriving in Egypt.
I know a lot of the CIA experts on X have been floating that idea as well.
So that's a possibility that he could have been trained when he did that trip to Egypt.
So it's interesting to see that our FBI missed all of this.
Now, like you cited, when we first...
So the mayor of New Orleans came out and said that this was a terror incident.
And then we saw that the FBI agent, FBI agent nose piercing, came out and said that this was not a terror event.
Is her name actually nose piercing or did she have a nose piercing?
She had a nose piercing, so it's a great joke.
Because she really was not prepared.
It's like a child.
Well, people were making the DEI joke yet again.
I didn't see the nose piercing.
I just knew that she said it wasn't a terrorist attack when, by all accounts, it was patently so.
Yeah. Okay.
And then the FBI had to issue a correction because she said that there wasn't any terror, any terror connection to any of this.
And the FBI's like, nah, well, a couple of, maybe like 30 minutes later.
Yeah, there was.
I mean, she knew that there was an ISIS flag in that vehicle.
I don't know whether it was one that we thought was hanging on the car originally, because it looked like maybe there was a coat thrown over it.
I'm not sure if it was in the car specifically.
But again, I mean, how do you miss that?
And then look.
At all of these cameras and say that this wasn't a terror event, you can't say something like that.
You have to say, listen, we're investigating all avenues right now and we're not prepared to give comments.
That's how you say it.
Timeframe-wise, do we know when they discovered his property in Texas?
Because I initially read about that in the New York Post.
But if they had accessed that property at that point and then still made the statement it wasn't a terrorist attack, knowing what was in that guy's apartment, which at least would...
Cause you to suspend and not answer the question.
I wonder what they knew when and who knew what when, but if it's just a bunch of incompetent buffoons saying whatever, you know, totally disjointed from one another, that's also a problem.
So the fact that they're wrong is a problem.
Why are they wrong?
Could be an even bigger problem.
Yeah, I think they're trying to create chaos.
I think they're trying to create confusion amongst the American people.
We see time and time again that they do this, where they put out false information and they quickly fix it.
Oh, sorry, we got it wrong.
I think it's also meant to discredit social media platforms for those who are on X, who are posting on X, independent journalists, because we're out here reporting things.
And then if we're reporting what they're telling us, we look like we're factually incorrect and a lot of people that might not trust us.
But like you cited initially, too, they said that there was multiple people who are...
We're arrested in regards to all of this.
And then they backpedaled that and said, ah, these were just innocent bystanders.
They weren't individuals who participated in any of this.
So I think it's all intentional because this would be something that you'd hold close to your chest.
You wouldn't release any of this to the public.
And then also you asked the question in regards to when do they find out about it as Houston home?
As soon as I...
It took him about an hour to confirm his full name.
I got his information about it maybe an hour prior to all of this, and I was doing the digging, immediately got all of his information, the multiple homes that he had in Texas.
He also had a residency in Georgia.
He's also registered in several states to vote, but he switched it over time.
It wasn't all at the same time.
He was a registered Democrat back in 2012.
He voted in the 2012 election.
I got all of this information through a database that I use.
There's no way they didn't know about the Houston home and couldn't have sent their agents to his home sooner than 1 p.m.
that day because the terror attack took place at 3 in the morning.
I mean, they had what?
That's over nine hours.
That's insane.
I mean.
There's another element of the timeline I want to get into.
New York Post reported that he was living in a trailer park among primarily Pakistani immigrants, many of whom didn't speak English, apparently.
The property that journalists walked through, was that on the trailer park side or was that another property?
I'm not sure.
I know it's a rental, but I'm not 100% certain if it was the trailer that she was referring to.
I know there was other reports that there was other independent journalists at his property.
And so there were things like goats walking around and sheep walking around the property.
So it was very strange.
So I heard as well.
All right.
And then the fire at the Airbnb in New Orleans.
Do you have info on that?
Because A, I don't know if it happened anymore.
B, if it happened, I don't know when it happened because they reported that the fire broke out two hours after he had already been killed by police.
And so, I mean, again, it's chaos.
I have an underlying feeling it's also so that...
In a certain period of time, they can go back to everybody who repeated what the FBI said that was false and say, don't trust them anymore, their disinformation, like Elon Musk, like other journalists.
But do you know the timeline on that fire or whether or not it even occurred?
Yeah, that's the problem here, right?
I heard that he tried starting the fire himself, but like you said, he was already deceased at the time where we heard the reports of the fire taking place.
So I don't know.
And it's funny how it just quickly has dissipated.
Like no one's even talking about there's no real reports on it either.
I just don't understand why these things happen.
Well, I know why they happen, but why they tell you a little bit and then it kind of just disappears and vanishes and no one is even asking any questions.
And also, by the way, the FBI, when I ask questions to them now, they tell me they're...
We're not doing any interviews with the media and that I can't even ask them questions anymore.
So they're done with me.
Because you're not a trustworthy journalist like the woman who did the walkthrough.
The whole thing is I read your bio and then I look at the hat.
I was like, why?
I guess you're wearing it.
I don't know if you were wearing it.
When I thought it was you, I was like, I guess she's wearing a New York Post hat to get access to.
I couldn't reconcile the New York Post hat, but I guess that journalist works for New York Post.
Okay, so.
As far as what we know now, the latest and where you're at, the individual, as far as we know now, worked alone, or at least their FBI is not saying that he didn't.
He traveled to Egypt.
We don't know if he hit Libya.
We know that he either came through Canada, Ontario, which would explain a few things as well.
And that's where it's at right now.
No more latest breaking news?
Yeah, there's really nothing else.
I mean, normally the FBI says things like, oh, this person was on our radar, but they haven't admitted to that, which makes me concerned because given the fact there was an ISIS flag, whether it was homemade or whether it was something that was purchased or sent online or sent back from one of these trips he was on, how does one obtain an ISIS flag and it go unnoticed by the FBI?
You know, the FBI probably knows our discussions, you and I, even before we started this broadcast because they're in our phones at this point, but they didn't, for some reason, know anything about this individual.
I mean, you don't become radicalized over it.
Look, this is pure conjecture, but it's the only thing that can possibly explain what I believe was spoiliation of the crime scene.
He was known, and the connection is probably closer than will ever be known for certain because the crime scene has now been spoiled, and so any allegation will always be tainted by that potential walkthrough, or at least, you know, the...
Allegation that that crime scene was tainted.
We don't know if he worked alone because we don't know what was brought in there.
I think there's heavy involvement, heavy knowledge, and that is why there was an overt attempt to destroy that crime scene.
Everyone's asking for updates in the other big one of the day, which was the Las Vegas.
How intimately familiar with that one are you?
Yeah, I've been trying to follow it.
I listened to the Sean Ryan discussion that took place, and I've also listened to his space as well that he did just the other day.
It's hard to gauge.
This sounds like an individual who was really struggling with PTSD, and given the fact that he's sending emails and he's not really sending any evidence to back up his claims, I'm concerned that maybe it was just something that he wanted the public to be iffy about or he wanted to be known before his passing.
It's just so hard to gauge.
I watched the footage.
I know everyone thinks that it's clear as day, the footage that CNN released.
The security footage.
I don't see it.
I don't see the actions of him sadly taking his life by shooting himself in the head.
And then I just see the flames obviously going off in the car or whatever it could be.
It's so questionable that it's really hard for me to gauge.
And I just keep telling people, yes, I understand why we're all skeptical at this point.
But this could have just been a man who was really dealing with a lot of PTSD.
We know he went to Afghanistan and I can't imagine what kind of pain he went through having to fight.
Those wars for our country.
So I just can't imagine.
I really don't know what to think of it.
It's a difficult situation.
Yeah. And that one is another one where it's weird that they give more thorough pressers.
They give thorough press conferences on the ones, not that they're less important, but...
They didn't give a presser like that on the New Orleans terror attack.
They certainly never gave a presser like that on the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting.
But that one, they go into massive detail.
They knew the timeline beginning to end.
All of this pit stops, whatever.
Maybe it was easier to track because of the Tesla truck.
Okay, but the other story that you are covering, and this is one where I've also got my questions, is the horrendous attack in the New York subway station of the...
I always get mixed up and I don't want anyone accusing me of anything.
Guatemala. Guatemalan, illegal immigrant, correct?
He was from Guatemala, allegedly, the suspect?
Yes, allegedly.
He snuck into the country back before, well, he was deported in 2018, then he somehow got into our country, which is also concerning because DHS didn't know he was in our country.
And that's really, really horrifying, the fact that, again, we're talking about people who got into our country that our own federal government has no idea about.
But I reported that this individual, the illegal alien, was receiving...
Welfare benefits from the state.
So he was receiving social services from New York State.
And he was at a house, which appears to be kind of like a wellness house, because he might have been struggling with addiction issues.
But according to the prosecutors who were yesterday in court, they detailed that he was so drunk that he doesn't even remember setting this woman on fire.
And the Daily Mail just posted an image of the woman back in her high school years.
They found her yearbook photo.
So it's heartbreaking.
It's also really sad because it's a yearbook photo.
So I'm really heartbroken if there's any issues with her, whether or not she has family.
Because I tried calling and asking if there was any missing person report was how it'd be.
And nobody would be able to confirm that for me.
But unfortunately, it looks like the suspect, the case is going to stay in Brooklyn.
They've charged him with first-degree murder, which I found guilty.
He does face life without parole.
Brooklyn, so it's a liberal prosecutor.
So I'm hoping that they don't try to drop the charges on him.
But they have it all in film.
I mean, according to them, he fanned the flames to make sure that she was going to burn to death.
And it's horrifying to think about that, but that's what they have him on videos doing that they say.
Well, that was a question I had.
Firstly, so he had a criminal history above and beyond entering a country illegally and being deported.
Do you know what his criminal history was?
I don't.
I'm not familiar with it.
I just know that he was deported in 2018.
And I didn't hear that his defense or his statement is that he was blackout drunk, automaton-level drunk.
Yeah, so they claim that during the incident he was too drunk to remember.
That's a police claim.
Holy hell.
Okay. And then the other question that I had was, the footage that we saw was from the outside, or at least the one that went viral.
It's such a terrible word, but the video that was circulated the day of was from outside the metro car, the subway car.
Is there footage, do we know if there's footage from inside that shows the act itself?
I saw some images.
I don't know where it came from, though.
It kind of looked like it was cell phone footage, but I couldn't confirm who took it or how it even landed online.
And there was also these videos that were being posted of the suspect potentially doing a live stream prior to the incident as well.
And he did look and sound like he was drunk.
So I don't know when that was taken.
The suspect having done a live stream.
Yeah. On the internet.
Yeah, it might have been like a Facebook.
He doesn't show the image of him setting this woman on fire or anything of that, but he is mumbling and talking about how he just wants to be left alone and it just mumbles.
He's not really clear.
It's very obvious that he is drunk.
Okay. And the victim name has been released.
Has her name been released?
Yeah, so they released it.
Debron Kawam.
I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing that.
She's 57 years old from New Jersey.
They've also released...
Oh, here.
I got your tweet.
Let me bring it up here.
Yeah, it's okay.
Yeah, it's just very sad.
It's just very, very sad.
Oh, I don't know why this...
Sorry. We accidentally put a picture of Guantanamo Bay in that.
It's not supposed to be the case.
It's supposed to be court filings.
But... Yeah, it's really heartbreaking.
That's her yearbook photo.
Interesting. It was, again, not pure speculation, but you have to figure out if someone's sleeping on a metro car, my question was whether or not she had faculties impaired because of the way she was not moving and leaning against the pole.
Her name is Debrina Kawam.
She had mobility issues, from what I think you explained?
Do we know if she had mobility issues?
Yeah, the NYPD told me at the time that there was a walker with her.
So that's why when people were falsely reporting this woman's age, who they thought was the victim, this woman's age, and posting an AI image of a woman, I was the first one to fact check it because the NYPD told me originally that they believed that there was a walker present.
And I've never seen someone in their 20s with a walker.
So I thought that was concerning.
So then I reached out to the NYPD.
This was like maybe two days after the incident and asked them if they were able to ID the victim.
And they did not even know her ID.
So there was no way that that report.
Which is unfortunate because a lot of people like to circulate fake information when it's really easy just to vet it.
I mean, NYPD confirmed it within 44 seconds with me on the phone that it was false information.
Yeah, and I hypothesized that she might have been homeless or sleeping on a subway car.
You can come to your own conclusions and then people say, no, Viva, she's a PhD student.
And I think, okay, where's any information to confirm that?
Which there wasn't because it wasn't true.
The only question is whether or not she...
Was homeless at the time or had not been reported missing or sleeping on a metro car, a subway car.
So that man, okay.
Well, that's...
It's terrible.
It's just gross news.
So you're a daily independent journalist.
What stories are you working on now above and beyond these?
Yes, I'm really focused on...
I've been good friends with Tommy Robinson, for example, and obviously Tommy Robinson's sitting in prison right now in the UK, and he's been very truthful, very factually correct when it comes to the crisis that's been going on for the last few years.
I mean, it's been over a decade now, and the UK has an issue with young children who are being raped by those they've brought into the country, which are heavily...
You could just say Muslim men who have come into their country.
And it's been going on for a long time.
But the real crisis here, and I don't know if a lot of Americans are aware of this, is the government's been covering for a lot of these individuals because they don't want stereotypes to circulate about these migrants who have been coming into their country because they've allowed millions of them to do so.
So Tommy Robinson, whose own cousin was sexually assaulted by one of these individuals, is why he's so passionate about it, has been making documentaries and going out there and reporting on this for years now.
And he's earned, wrongfully earned titles that I don't think he is.
And they've gone after him, but now he's sitting in prison.
And so I've been communicating with Tommy, like I do with a lot of the J6ers, emailing them and following up with them, because I do believe that we should talk to political prisoners, if we can, and get their side of all of this.
So I've been communicating with Tommy.
He's thrilled that Elon Musk is now talking about all these stories.
He's thrilled for the victims.
But he's going to probably be in prison until July, but he's being tortured in prison.
He's in solitary confinement.
He doesn't see anyone near him.
Maybe he sees a guard once a day.
The jail itself, the 17 cells, he tells me, 16 of them are empty.
So he's literally just alone for the entire day, which has a lot of psychological--I guess I would just say effects when you're alone for that long.
It's torture.
You can pull out fingernails.
There's no greater form of torture than solitary confinement for a human or for any higher order animal.
And their argument is, I've had Tommy on shortly before he...
Went to jail.
I've had him on a number of times.
I've been following him since 2018.
Since I heard that he was convicted, sentenced to 13 months within five hours of being arrested for alleged filming the gangs as they entered the court.
I can't believe this is going on in England in 2018.
It's only gotten worse.
He's in solitary.
The explanation is for his own protection, right?
Because he's in a prison cell.
He's in a prison that has a statistical over-representation of the very people or demographic that he's been railing against for the last decade.
And so they're for his own protection.
Yeah, and he did an interview, this was a couple years back on Tucker Carlson's show, where he detailed one of his other, I guess, times he had to go to prison.
And the Muslim population did assault him several times.
They'd walk past his cell, spit on him, throw other things on him that are vile, and they would attack him.
So I understand why they have to keep him separate from all of them.
I mean, if you really authentically care for his well-being, then yes, you would keep him separate.
But again, he shouldn't even be in prison at all.
This is something that they're saying is just...
And so they said this is the 18 months.
But, you know, when Tommy was not in the country, when I knew that they were going to lock him up as soon as he crossed over back into the UK, I told him not to go back.
I said, we should find you a country where you can seek political asylum.
I think President Trump's going to win in November.
I don't think you should go back.
And he said, I'm not going to fight these people.
Like, I'm not going to fight these people and allow them to win.
I'm going to stick up for my country and go back.
I'm not afraid of them, Brianna.
And so he went back.
And I think that's amazingly brave.
I don't know if I would have done the same, given the fact that I think they're going to try to hold him even longer.
I mean, they're trying to call him a terrorist, even though he's never committed a terrorist act ever in his life, and he loves his country.
He explained it.
It was the documentary Silence, which detailed how the media covered up for the misinformation, false story about the Syrian boy who was not the victim of waterboarding from a racist white kid, how they lied to what everything else relates to that kid, how it highlighted failed immigration policy, and was just one more example of it.
And yeah, 18 months for contempt because he republished the lies, which were actually not lies, as far as any evidence goes, about the Syrian boy.
And he aired that documentary and put it on blast.
Was it in Trafalgar Square?
I mean, it was in a big...
I know it was a big venue.
Yeah, I don't remember where directly it was, but there was over 100,000 people, I think he said, he told me that were present.
Do you only correspond by email with Tommy?
Like, he doesn't have access to a phone at any point in time?
He might have access to a phone.
I don't know.
I know that I communicate with him through email since we're across the pond, so it's a little bit easier to do so.
I can even give you his contact privately as well if you'd like to reach out to him.
I get in touch with this team via DM on numbers and social media.
When I get Jake Lang, who's in prison up in D.C. I don't know how he does it, and I don't want to ask too many questions, but it lands him in solitary every now and again.
He does video from...
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
The last time, he had a big...
It was a cutout.
It was just his face through...
Everything else was whited out, so it looked a little weird.
So you're working on Tommy Robinson, or at least following the Tommy Robinson saga.
That's going to be on hold until he's out of jail.
But Elon is putting the pressure on all of the UK system.
What was I...
Oh, I was going to say one thing about...
Tommy Robinson.
The gangs.
It'll come back to me in a second.
We also did the Enrique Tarrio story yesterday.
If you remember that.
Go on.
Well, I remember the story.
You were covering it for the January...
Oh! Okay, please.
So... Enrique Tarrio, everybody knows, 22 years for a seditious conspiracy.
What was the story you reported on yesterday?
Yeah, so Tarrio told me, this was when he was in the D.C. jail, that he was approached by the DOJ who wanted him to lie and say that he orchestrated January 6th with President Trump via third party person.
So there was a mystery person who was in between them communicating back and forth.
And so he wanted, the DOJ wanted Tarrio to blame Trump.
On orchestrating it with him.
And when Tario refused to lie, they requested 33 years in prison.
And the judge gave him 22 years.
So Tario yesterday, I got a letter from his mother, actually, was requesting a pardon from President Trump.
And they're deciding the same thing we just detailed.
Tario is sitting in solitary confinement.
He's been in solitary for years by himself for 23 hours a day.
I remember seeing a picture of him being, I believe it was being brought into the courtroom.
And sadly, he didn't.
Look, he looked very pale.
He didn't look like his normal color.
He hasn't been out in the sun for quite some time.
He detailed me once, too.
So there's a lot of elements of abuse there.
But his lawyer wants him to be released and is asking President Trump for a pardon.
I think rightfully so.
He should be pardoned along with all the Oath Keepers, along with all the J6ers.
I mean, there's very few people who I don't think should be pardoned at this point.
And I think that we need to save them.
We also need to consider possibly giving them settlements because Tarrio wasn't only just being dragged through criminal court.
There was also several lawsuits that were filed against the Proud Boys, and it's meant to drain them financially so they can't appeal their convictions.
He was another one who was being sued over the KKK Act, I believe it was.
I don't know if that lawsuit's still ongoing.
I know a lot of J6ers were also sued by left-leaning attorneys at this point.
They just tried from every avenue to bankrupt these people.
Ontario wasn't initially even asking for crowdsourcing for his legal fees.
He was willing to pay his own legal fees to fight this off and wanted everyone else who couldn't afford a lawyer to gain access to that through crowdsourcing.
And now he does need people's help through the appeal process.
But I think President Trump will pardon him.
I'm hopeful that President Trump will pardon him because it doesn't make any sense.
He wasn't there that day.
It doesn't make any sense why he'd be sentenced 22 years.
No, it makes zero sense.
People say, oh, he wasn't there, but seditious conspiracy, you don't have to be there to get it.
First of all, it's such an ambiguous wording of a piece of legislation to begin with.
And 22 years compared, I mean, rapists and murderers, especially under Biden, get pardoned and commuted or not convicted or like sentences of six to nine years.
The thing that I was just about to ask you, oh, I was going to say the only people who do not deserve a pardon or a commutation, Ray Epps.
And the pipe bomber.
Are you familiar?
Are you following the pipe bomber story?
Are you involved with that one at all?
Yeah. So I actually was talking to Darren Beatty about this yesterday.
And I still can't believe we're still talking about the pipe bomb story because it's so crazy to me.
Mike Benz did a great job at showing the image that they just recently released.
It's some video that they magically stumbled on.
Blurred out his eyes.
Yeah, so you can't even use biometrics.
How absurd.
But it's not absurd.
It's expected at this point.
I mean, they held on to it for nearly four years.
So not surprised if they don't want us to figure out who he actually is, because now we could possibly screenshot it and run facial recognition on our own behalf.
But again, it's not surprising.
I mean, they don't really want to find this guy.
They pretend like, oh, yeah, we've got a half a million dollar reward out there, but they don't care.
They would have actually found him.
I mean, they found grandmas who were just walking by the Capitol on January 6th.
They had no problem finding those people.
It's a real mystery.
The shoes are such, not a dead giveaway, but like, okay, you're dealing with a pair of shoes that are unique.
You're dealing with pixelated video.
Apparently someone said there was one frame where they didn't get the eyes properly, but that they were glasses, so they still...
And as if it's not suspicious that this person would have the wherewithal to cover every part of their body showing flesh.
And then four years later, they say we're newly releasing footage because we haven't been able to find this guy.
It is...
So we'll see what happens under the new administration.
Brianna, and your show schedule is what, for those who don't know and want to follow?
Yeah, thank you.
So my show is every day, Monday through Thursday right now, and it is at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
We stream on Rumble Live, and we also stream on X as well.
Okay, no Commitube for you?
No, no, they don't really like me.
We post some clips, but I got whacked the first week, so we're just not even trying.
I mean, every discussion around the Vegas incident gets demonetized, and I occasionally get an email saying, you've been discussing self-harm, and the New Orleans has been getting demonetized, and the pipe bomber.
It gets systematically demonetized.
It has nothing to do with content and only to do with narrative.
They don't want anyone on that platform that is not approved media covering the story and, I guess, covering it with the narrative that they want.
Brianna, I know you have a limited time.
So you're on Twitter, which the link is in there.
Brianna Morello.
B-R-E-A-N-N-A Morello.
Where else?
So Rumble.
Rumble, the Brianna Morello Show.
Yeah, just look up the Brianna Morello Show.
Make sure it's the verified account.
There's a couple of fake ones that we have to get knocked out, but it's the verified account.
And that's what we do.
We go live every single day, Monday through Thursday.
So that's where you can find the show.
Okay, amazing.
And no Locals community?
I did just sign up for Locals.
I did.
So we just started Locals.
BriannaMorelloShow.locals.com or BriannaMorello.locals?
I think it's BriannaMorello.locals.
I think.
Well, you'll send me the link afterwards and I'll put it up in the pinned comment.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Brianna, I'm glad we met because this is fantastic.
Everybody, you should be following Brianna because I'm going to start emailing FBI agents.
I'm always nervous about doing it, but if some of them answer and I'll make some friends on the inside, I'm a nice guy despite the tweets.
Some of them respond.
Hey, if they're responding, maybe they want to respond with disinformation to lead me astray, but let's...
Keep all the eyes on the ball because they are sowing chaos.
There's no question about it.
There's no question that they are this incompetent to let these things happen or to make the mistakes that they've made to mislead the public.
It's not a terrorist incident, and so everybody just go back out with your daily lives.
If they knew it was, and there might be other risks, criminal negligence.
Yeah, no surprise.
Those are our finest.
The finest 4chan does it better every day of the week.
Brianna, thank you for coming on, and it's great to meet you.
We will keep in touch.
Thank you for having me.
I appreciate it.
My pleasure.
Talk to you soon.
All right, people, we're staying on, by the way, and we're going to go over to the Rumble sphere.
I'm using StreamYard today, so I don't want to make a mistake.
That's amazing.
It's amazing.
I was thinking out loud, being a journalist just means asking even the wrong questions, but asking questions and knowing where to get information.
Okay, I'll cover this one here because I also want to make another clarification of a mistake of fact that I made during yesterday's show.
I actually shot a short video about it, but it didn't tell the story properly.
Okay, you need to ask some questions and also know what resources are out there to allow you to find information.
Yesterday, the news of the day was Justin Trudeau resigning.
Although there's a semantics debate on the internet as to whether or not he resigned, announced his intention to resign, how much faster he could have resigned.
He could have technically, I guess, jumped ship and moved to Mexico and then the Liberal Caucus would have convened to appoint an interim leader.
Then they would have had a leadership race within as it's doing it now.
He's indicated that he will resign after they've had their leadership race and found a new leader.
That was the news of the day yesterday.
Oh, by the way, I'm going to be on Alex Jones at 2.30 today.
I have to remember that.
I'm going to talk about that.
So as I'm covering the story, one of my friends, also a mole of mine from up inside Canada, sends me a link and says, oh, one of the lead alternative potential candidates for the leadership, Mark Carney, has announced that he's running for the leadership.
And then there was a landing page for Mark Carney for Canada.
I'll show you that in a second.
By all accounts, and everybody knows, Chrystia Freeland is going to be probably the frontrunner to replace Trudeau for the leadership.
Mark Carney is another one who's a good globalist that everyone loves.
He's a WEF on their website, at least.
Whether or not he approves of the page, I don't know.
Looks like he probably does.
And as far as I'm concerned, Trudeau announces his resignation.
Technically, he's still the leader.
Of a prorogued parliament until March, until they can, you know, have their robust national leadership race and then he'll quit.
Then he'll be out when he gets replaced.
Someone also sent me something very interesting, is that Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, back in whatever the 70s or the 60s, when he was the leader of the Liberal Party...
Announced his intention to resign as the leader of the Liberal Party.
They weren't the minority government.
But then the Jeff Clark government failed.
Or not the Jeff Clark, that's Jeff Clark.
The Clark government failed.
And then Trudeau's dad rescinded his statement of intention to resign as the leader, stayed on as the leader, and then won a majority government for the Liberals.
Many, many material differences there, but the rhyming of history is a little bit eerie.
So, by all accounts...
Christopher Freeland, Mark Carney, two globalist shills, WEF patsies, young global leaders, are going to vie for the leadership.
And when I say they'll replace Trudeau with whomever, they might actually be worse.
I don't think it's going to have an impact on the upcoming inevitable 2025 federal election.
Conservatives are going to clean house.
It's just a question by how much.
All right.
All that to say, as I'm reporting this, and the friend sends me a link.
And I opened it up and I said, okay, look here.
Heads up.
So the tweets, I had to include my tweet.
This was my tweet.
Carney's running for leadership of the Liberal.
And I include the link to the CarneyForCanada.ca.
All right.
Well, it turns out that you call that parody.
It's a legitimate website that's legitimately fraudulently deceitful.
But during the stream, as I'm covering it, after that tweet, I was like, oh, just for fun.
I want to go.
This is what it looks like.
Landing page.
Enter your first name, your last name, and your email address.
Be part of our Canada's future.
Subscribe today.
Okay, that's what you get.
Then I said, just for fun, I'm going to go to privacy and legal and see what the legal says.
And you go to the legal, and at the end of the legal, it says it's a satirical website.
It's not satirical, but it doesn't matter.
So clarify that.
And this is looping it back to being a journalist.
I was like, oh, okay, fine.
Who owns that domain?
In Canada, you know it or you don't.
You have to register domains in your name.
If you own a domain.
CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registry Authority.
Canadian Internet Registration Authority, CIRA.
So I don't think this is a story that's going to blow the world open.
I think it's deceitful.
I question whether or not there's a malicious intent to procure.
Email addresses from people who might be interested in supporting Mark Carney because, by the way, I did end up going to it and submitting my spam email address.
You put first name, last name, email address, and you click be a part.
And after you've submitted your email address, then it tells you.
It's a satirical website, but in very small print underneath.
After they've gotten your information.
So I did think that there is a potential nefarious purpose for setting this up, to get email addresses of people who are interested in supporting Mark Carney and doing Lord knows what with those email addresses.
Whether you want to have targeted campaigns, it's useful intelligence for an opposing political party.
I don't know who's behind it, because when you go to CIRA to check out who owns that website, the information is redacted.
For privacy purposes, which is the exact...
Opposite of the purpose of CIRA in the first place, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority was intended to let you know who owns which domain names in Canada.
But all that to say is I'm sitting here on my little butt on the internet.
I was like, oh, journalist just means asking the questions.
Who owns the website?
What would they possibly be doing with that website?
Oh, and then going to the resources that exist.
And then sometimes you don't know the resources exist.
And that's, I guess, what separates the Brianna Morellas of the world from the John J. Harwoods of the world, people.
This is the segue.
We're going into YouTube right now.
Let me give everybody the link.
John J. Harwood.
Who's the Fonz?
Pieces of shit.
They are pieces of shit.
Human, walking, breathing pieces of shit.
My apologies for swearing.
I know some people are sensitive to that, and I should do better.
But I've lost it with a couple of people today.
What I wanted to do before we headed over...
Headed on over.
Target driver one says, Viva, all of US military have our DNA on file.
Do we know the truck bomber has been unambiguously identified?
They lead you to believe in the press conference that he has been unambiguously identified.
They said, we've got tattoos on flesh, which is, you know, take that for what it's worth if the incendiary devices burnt that cart of smithereens.
We've got dental records from his dentist.
And they've got the DNA.
And ambiguously enough, they say the DNA does not match his child.
To lead you to believe that maybe he found out the kid wasn't his and he flipped out.
Or maybe the body is not the father of the kid.
And he was the father of the kid.
And there's a question to be asking.
I'm really going to start emailing people internally.
But nobody was like, you got a proton email?
You got signals?
Like, no, dude, they're watching and reading everything.
So don't tell me anything that you don't want them knowing because they know.
So bottom line, we do not know if he was unambiguously identified, though they would like us to lead us to believe that.
King of Biltong says, we plan on constructing our own manufacturing facilities this year.
Support us and your health.
By grabbing some Biltong from BiltongUSA.com.
Use the quartering.
How dare you?
You can use the quartering 10, you can use sticks 10, or you can use Viva 10 for 10% off.
By the way, it doesn't even matter.
Go support Biltong.
I don't care how you do it or through what.
I don't get a commission or anything.
Biltong graciously sends me the Biltong and it's freaking delicious.
I don't get anything from it, but support a company that is doing good and making great food.
Great products, healthy and amazing.
We stream every day, 4 p.m., 3 p.m.
Central. Shit-talking whilst cooking real food.
We cook interesting things and talk up a storm.
Follow our channel.
Eat at Anton's.
But do support the company.
It's important.
Vote with your dollar and be healthy.
How can they do the DNA test so fast?
Is that new?
So I looked that up as well.
That was another question that I had.
I see being a journalist and being a lawyer is not much different.
And I don't think I'm a journalist anyhow, but I'm an analyst.
An anal analyst.
Anal as in I'm meticulous and obsessive compulsive.
You can get very fast 28 to 48 hour results if you pay a premium.
So it's feasible depending on the type of DNA test that you're getting.
Typically the delays are four to six weeks, but that's because of backlog, not because of science from what I understand.
Okay, what else?
Wish Biltong didn't use sugar.
There's nothing wrong with a little bit of sugar.
Again, also not a sponsor, but this entire can has 20 calories of sugar, and this is as sweet as you need anything to be.
Okay, what else do we got here?
Tesla model home car robot service just need a 15-minute city.
Any ideas?
Okay, I don't know what that is.
DNA test is...
Easy to test.
Just usually there are thousands of tests to be done.
They just push that test to the front of the line.
Yeah, I have no doubt about that.
If they're going to make a mistake, it's not going to be one that is so easily verifiable.
All right.
So what we're doing is we're going to end this on YouTube.
The entire stream or the portion that was not on YouTube will be put on YouTube later.
I'm not doing it to circumvent any rules on YouTube.
In fact, now that I say this out loud, I do want to see if this is still monetized on YouTube because of the serious nature of the discussion.
Monetization? It's not monetized because I forgot to freaking turn on my...
Oh, what a stupid moron I am.
Okay, there you go.
We'll see if this stays monetized.
That's very irritating.
I hate that.
I've just worked for YouTube.
Okay, here we go.
Bam! Bada bing, bada boom.
So we're going to end it on YouTube.
Come on over to Rumble.
The link is there if you want to come over to Locals.
Because today, because I'm using StreamYard...
It will not be only supporter-only mode.
So come on over to Locals if you'd like to bypass the Rumbles and come be a part of our wonderful Above Average community.
Brianna Morella, thank you very much for coming on.
And now we are ending on Commitube.
Man. All right.
John J. Harwood is a piece of shit.
There, I said it.
And The Winkle.
What's his name?
The Winkle?
Harvey Winkle?
What's his name?
The guy that is...
The Fonz.
Henry Winkler?
People are idiots.
And this is where you can make a mistake of fact for which you don't need to apologize because you've done no wrong, but that you want to clarify versus making a mistake of fact that is a wrong because it involves a judgmental accusation, insult, derogatory, demeaning, degrading assessment of another living human being.
It was the certification of the thing yesterday, the certification of the Electoral College.
Kamala Harris, the joyful warrior, carried out her constitutional duties with great vigor and wonderful, wonderful loyalty.
you next time.
I just want to get one thing up here also because I have a few points to make on this.
Here. She did her civic duty.
She respected her constitutional oath and she Peacefully transferred the power, or at least certified, which will lead to the transfer of the presidency to the President Donald Trump.
But now, shitheads on the internet, where you make a mistake of fact that you damn well better apologize for because it involved an insult and an accusation.
I don't know who the person is, but I'm going to know him now.
Brian Allen.
What kind of person boasts about money in their Twitter bio?
I'll tell you what kind of person.
An ass.
Oh no, come on.
An ass that is a judgmental ass who...
Makes wrong accusations based on inadequate information.
Look at this.
It says, What an absolute pathetic display of fragility and hate.
Hashtag confession through projection coming through the door.
The bare minimum shaking someone's hands is apparently too much for these people.
What do you mean?
These people.
This is cave-dweller behavior.
Plain and simple.
No class.
No decency.
Pure spite.
Chat, if you know where this is going...
Spoil it for everybody else.
Let's just watch this video of caveman level, no class, no decency, fragility and hate on display.
I couldn't even understand it.
I had to watch it five times before I understood who was the accusation was leveled again.
Hi. Do you want to come here, Bruce?
Just swearing in on the Bible.
We're not going to bite.
Don't worry.
We're not going to bite.
We're not going to bite.
OK. The USAMI swear to support and to the Constitution of the United States.
I thank you.
Shakes her hand.
And goes to shake the man's hand.
Zoom in.
Oh, they zoomed in, by the way.
Mother effer!
It's even more dishonest than I thought it was.
They zoomed in.
What a mother effing scumbag.
Zooms in.
It goes into shape.
Oh. Thank you.
Thank you.
Is this club?
Sure. Maybe you can That's the video.
Take some pictures.
By the way, so I subsequently learned these two people are married, which makes the theory that she would shake her hand but not the husband even more implausible.
So they zoomed in.
I didn't even notice that level of malice the first time I watched this.
Look at the video now.
It looks like there's something in his hand.
I'm no mathemagician here.
I'm no mathemagician.
But it looks like there's something in his hand.
You want to know why it looks like there's something in his hand?
Because there's something in his hand.
Do you know what's in his hand, people?
I'll give you one guess, and it involves a cane.
Because that elderly gentleman was using a cane for support, which is why his hand was not available, for a handshake.
And I had to let the individual know.
But you see how fake news gets spread, by the way.
It's the fake news disinformation laundering campaign.
If you're going to be a judgmental ass, Alan, and it's funny, he put the anal back in analysis, you might want to make sure that the person you are attacking for not shaking Kamala's hand is not holding a stability cane in that same hand.
You should probably delete and apologize, but you won't because cue confession through projection.
You are the fragile person filled with hate.
Does it make a little more sense now?
By the way, his hands don't look like they're in particularly good shape either.
I'm not trying to be funny here, but like, at first, when you think that Kamala Harris is reacting to him being rude and not shaking her hand, she might be reacting to her gaffe of trying to shake the hand, which might be partially debilitated hand, of a man holding a cane for his balance.
And so one person spreads the lie, much like the bloodbath lie, and all of the idiots, On the internet, go and repeat the lie.
Where was John Jay Harwood?
Piece of shit.
John Jay Harwood was a small, weak man of low character, responding to Brian Allen's disinformation.
John Jay Harwood, who calls himself a journalist.
To which I said, John Jay Harwood, proving that he is not only no longer a journalist, he's a total jackass.
And he wasn't the only one.
But they'll either never know that they made the mistake because they block or restrict or hide replies or don't bother to read, or they don't care because the mistake is not the mistake.
The mistake is the intended purpose.
Where was the Fonz?
Henry Winkler.
I got John J. Harwood.
I just want to get John Winkler.
The Fonz.
It's amazing.
No dignity, no decency while they accuse people of having no dignity and no decency.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Henry Winkler.
The Fonz.
He still defines himself as being Henry the Fonz and beyond.
My autobiography is out.
Oh, detective.
Nobody gives a shit.
Wow, Mr. Blue Suit.
Your grace fell out of your body.
To which I said...
Mr. Bluesuit is holding a cane in that hand.
You fucking moron.
I love Twitter.
Is that negative for you, Elon?
Damn well better because that is intended not to be rage bait.
That is intended to shame people who might not have any shame.
Over here on Ginger Ninja in the house over on Hrumble says...
Barnes is going to be on Alison Morrow at 3 p.m. Eastern to talk about the recent Amos Miller victory.
Y'all go watch in 90-plus minutes.
That timing is going to work out perfectly because I'm going to be on Alex Jones from 2.30 to 3, give or take.
Your entire day is filled up with watching Viva on Barnes, and it's not even a Sunday.
Thank you, Ginger Ninja.
Ginger Ninja is the man who made this chessboard behind me.
It's absolutely beautiful.
Can you imagine?
We've gone right back to the realm of mocking the disabled.
Do you remember when the right-wingers, the conservatives, were making fun of Tim Walz's kid for his reaction?
That's my dad, and they're all making fun of him.
I'm lucky that I didn't jump on that bad man, but I'm not because I don't believe in making fun of kids.
And also, plus, I might be the guy to cry also under such circumstances.
Everyone was jumping down the throats of every right-winger conservative who mocked or made fun or poked fun at the kid.
He's on the spectrum.
He has learning disabilities.
How dare you make fun of someone?
And now, all of a sudden, they're okay with spreading lies and making fun of an elderly, mildly handicapped gentleman.
I'd say hypocrites, but it's not hypocrisy.
They're just scumbags.
Okay, let's see this here.
Seferdine Squibb says, I'm glad I can appreciate the work without dwelling on the artist, says Seferdine Squibb.
I can do it in some cases.
I can't do it in others.
I cannot separate Roman Polanski, the artist, from Roman Polanski, the pedophile rapist.
I can separate Tom DeLonge and Mark Hopus, the Ukrainian endless war-supporting lefties from their music because I love their music.
And their moral transgressions, their political transgressions are not sufficiently serious to disqualify them.
But that is it.
Oh yeah, by the way, on the topic of the peaceful transfer of power, this was another one.
This was a great one.
They like sloppily folate one another.
And how good and righteous they are when they are the biggest villains on earth.
Chris Murphy, who I've been known to give a hard time to on Twitter as well, U.S. Senator from Connecticut, tweets out, yes, they got to stroke themselves.
They got to stroke themselves, give themselves awards, has this to say.
So this is the U.S. Capitol.
About an hour before we are going to certify the election results January 6th, 2025.
It is quiet.
Do not take that for granted.
It's only quiet because there is one party in America right now that cares about democracy, that observes the peaceful transition of power.
If Kamala Harris had won this election, this Capitol right now would likely be a bloodbath.
Because the Republicans...
By the way, the choice of bloodbath right there by this deceitful piece of rubbish is not an accident.
It's reaffirming the original bloodbath lie Trump statement.
These people are so damn insidious.
They must have think tanks to craft their malicious propaganda, their malicious disinformation, their malicious brainwashing.
...
continues to endorse and celebrate violence as a means of maintaining political power.
Donald Trump is, as we speak, preparing to pardon many of the January 6th rioters, the people who were here beating Capitol Police officers over the head with flagpoles.
Donald Trump is getting ready to jail his political opponents to try to suppress and destroy political dissent.
Better give a pardon.
Better give a preemptive pardon to Liz Cheney.
Come on.
Come on, Biden.
Do it.
There's two hedge bets on that one.
Whether or not he's going to make any preemptive pardons, Biden, on Kalshi, and whether or not he's going to pardon Liz Cheney.
And my money is on both, literally.
My party lost this election.
I am here today to certify the election of Donald Trump.
You are a bloody hero.
I care more about my democracy than I do about my party winning elections.
The same cannot be said today of the Republican Party and of my Republican colleagues.
And so, well, today is peaceful.
It is quiet here.
Do not take that for granted.
Do not take that as a sign that our democracy is healthy.
Our democracy is in peril.
It is at risk.
And we better start acting like that.
Wow.
Wow. If that ever sounded like a call to violence.
It's peaceful.
It's quiet.
Peaceful, quiet transition of power.
I replied to him, you know, it's funny.
Is it a peaceful transition of power when you spy on the incoming president?
Is it a peaceful transition of power when you falsify evidence and submit it to secret courts?
Is it a peaceful transfer of power when you and your media spread an entire lie about Russia collusion to undermine the first three years of a president's presidency?
Is that peaceful?
No. That's political violence of the highest order.
Is it quiet?
Yeah. That's how you get it done, though.
If you're loud about it, it doesn't get done and it gets exposed, and that's what loudmos like myself are for.
Chris Murphy is an overt, egregious, consistent, confirmed scumbag.
Oh, lordy, lordy.
All right, now we're coming right back, circling back.
We're going to pull a Jen Psaki and circle right back to the beginning of this vlog.
Do I end with, do I do this part on Locals?
Hmm. Hmm.
No, we'll do it here.
What time is it?
We're going to do it here.
Circling right back to the beginning of this episode, where we started with Zuckerberg and his five minutes of shame.
I'm going to play this through now, and we're going to pause and commentate.
Zuckerberg, I called it a long time ago.
That sooner than later, free speech is going to be cool again.
And these losers, and I'm seeing losers in the littlest.
By the way, I was a bit of a loser in high school.
I was a bit of a loner.
I was liked and liked people, but I didn't have very many friends.
I used to eat lunch in the bathroom or outside alone.
I used to sit in the branch of a tree in my parents' bell-bottom yellow hippie pants with my Guatemalan shirts.
And I was a bit of a weirdo.
I'll maybe share some more pictures of that over on Locals.
But you know what the loser in high school aspires to?
When it's a Bill Gates-type loser, when it's a Zuckerberg-type loser, they want to be cool, and they want to hang with the cool kids.
And now that Zuckerberg, he's a billionaire, but he's an effing loser.
Elon Musk is a billionaire, but he's cool.
And now you know that Zuckerberg wants to be where Elon Musk is.
Zuckerberg, who's worth more between Zuckerberg, it's got to be Zuckerberg and Chris Pavlovsky.
Zuckerberg net worth.
Pavlovsky, oh my goodness, Zuckerberg's worth 200 billion.
Chris has got some work to do.
But Chris, Zuckerberg is worth more than Chris.
But he's not cool like Chris.
He's not, and I don't want to say on the right side of history, he's not.
Among the cool kids now, like Chris Pawlowski.
He's not a thought leader like Pawlowski.
Money is one thing, and it's good, and it'll buy you happiness, and after a certain point, it won't buy you happiness anymore.
And when these people get to certain levels of wealth, it becomes a competition that's beyond any form of accomplishment.
It now becomes a competition in and of itself.
Zuckerberg is worth more than Pavlovsky, but he is no longer relevant, he's no longer cool, and he's no longer the thought leader of the current tech world.
And that hurts the ego of a guy like Zuckerberg.
It hurts the ego of a guy like Bill Gates.
Maybe Fauci less so.
And so Zuckerberg is right now just trying to climb back into the cool kid's tree.
I gave a speech at Georgetown five years ago about the importance of protecting free expression.
And then he went and bent over backwards to the FBI, censored COVID stories, censored climate change stories, censored the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Yeah, five years ago I gave a speech which shows you that you are not worth your word, Zuckerberg.
And I still believe this today.
But a lot has happened over the last several years.
There's been widespread debate about potential harms from online content.
Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more.
A lot of this is clearly political.
But there's also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there.
Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation.
These are things that we take very seriously, and I want to make sure that we handle responsibly.
By the way, all of those things, everything he's going to say after this shows how they did not prioritize removal of that offending content, but merely had it on par with political climate and other content.
They took it seriously.
By the way, they've had a serious problem.
Instagram has a serious problem.
Barnes and I have covered the lawsuits.
Twitter used to have a serious problem.
It's still a problem.
But what he's going to tell you now that these were his concerns.
They knew that that content was on the platform.
And then he's going to go on to tell you how they had on par without triaging of importance of unlawfulness.
And now they're going to do it.
Now they're going to really focus on the CSAM, child sexual abuse material.
Now they're really gonna focus on the drugs because they're no longer gonna equate it or treat it on parallel with that hurt my political fifis, or posts that question science, or posts that question the class So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content.
But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes.
Even if they accidentally censor just 1% of posts, that's millions of people.
And we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship.
Too many mistakes and too much censorship.
Do you remember Candace Owens suing Facebook?
John Stossel, the journalist, suing Facebook?
Because they were fact-checking their stories, claiming that they were false, and then diverting traffic to the fact-checkers' website.
So they were parasitically stealing traffic from Candace and from Stossel, wrongly claiming some of the stuff was false, and then redirecting people to their own.
Parasites. Now he's admitting it out loud.
The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech.
In other words, free speech is cool.
In other words, conservatives are cool.
In other words, I now read the political tea leaves and I better start correcting ship.
Not out of any moral or question of principle.
Money, political influence, and I want to hang with the cool kids.
Don't you see his tan?
I mean, he's surfing these days, guys.
He's cool.
He's with it.
So we're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes.
Simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms.
More specifically, here's what we're going to do.
First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X starting in the US.
I'm cool, children.
Hello, look at me.
I'm just like Elon.
We're going to get rid of the fact checkers because they were not independent fact checkers.
If anybody remembers these lawsuits, they were partners of Facebook.
They were not independent whatsoever.
They were contractually linked to and financially benefited from their relationship with Facebook.
And they stole money from other people, content creators.
And so I obliged.
Which we did.
And have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S. Your third-party fact-checker partners?
You're talking about your partners, Zook?
Over the next couple of months, we're going to phase in a more comprehensive community notes system.
Second, we're going to simplify our content policies and get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse.
Can you believe this is the same guy saying this now?
What we've been doing for the last five years, censoring, deplatforming, billboard Chris, posts on gender, posts on climate.
We're going to stop doing it because it's just out of touch now.
In other words, I'm not cool anymore.
In other words, I'm taking a financial hit and wait until you hear what he has to say about the European markets, which might explain why he's got to write this financial ship back in North America.
Because if North America goes the way of Europe, guess who's royally screwed?
What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas, and it's gone too far.
So I want to make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms.
Third, we're changing how we enforce our policies to reduce the mistakes that account for the vast majority of censorship on our platforms.
Censorship? The vast majority of censorship.
He's saying this out loud.
I just wonder whether or not some of those who had their lawsuits tossed can now refile and use this as new material evidence.
I think so.
We used to have filters that scanned for any policy violation.
Oh, really?
It didn't prioritize CSAM or drugs?
It didn't?
Why not?
Now, we're going to focus those filters on tackling illegal and high-severity violations.
You mean, you didn't think that that's the way it always should have been, you moron?
You needed to wait five years for Trump to get elected, and had he not been elected, you never would have made these changes?
Holy hell, forgive me for not trusting this snake.
And for lower-severity violations, we're going to rely on someone reporting an issue before we take action.
The problem is that the filters make mistakes, and they take down a lot of content that they shouldn't.
So by dialing them back, we're going to dramatically reduce the amount of censorship on our platforms.
We're also going to tune our content filters.
Oh, so it's no longer going to be a question of strike now, ask later, but ask now and then strike if it's warranted.
Okay, that's fantastic.
It's amazing.
All it took was Trump to make him realize that he had to do all of these basic fundamental things to the company that was censoring and not prioritizing actual abuse material and illegal content.
No, they had to go for the people talking about their life stories and adverse reactions to a jab.
They had to go to the people who were complaining about...
Gender-affirming care, aka child genital mutilation.
Is that this is a trade-off.
It means we're going to catch less bad stuff, but we'll also reduce the number of innocent people's posts and accounts that we accidentally take down.
Fourth, we're bringing back civic content.
For a while, the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed.
They didn't want to see political content.
I'd like to see the requests for that.
We're bringing back civic content.
Well, that's amazing.
Maybe now people are actually going to learn about the government.
We stopped recommending these posts.
But it feels like we're in a new era now.
And we're starting to get feedback that people want to see this content again.
So we're going to start phasing this back into Facebook, Instagram, and threads while working to keep the communities friendly and positive.
Positive. That word I don't like, especially in the context of Elon Musk's positivity algorithm, but whatever.
We'll get past that.
Fifth, we're going to move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US-based content review is going to be based in Texas.
Holy shia, people.
I mean, this is earth-shattering.
Why are they going to do that?
Why can't you operate in California?
Please tell us.
As we work to promote free expression...
I think that will help us build trust to do this work in places where there is less concern about the bias of our teams.
Finally, we're going to work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more.
We're going to go after governments across the world that are coming after me and frustrating my ability to make money the way I used to make money before.
And now we understand who is actually fighting, not just on the side of the right, but on the side that's going to allow him to continue making the money that he's making.
The US has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world.
Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative there.
Latin American countries have secret courts that Can order companies to quietly take things down.
China has censored our apps from even working in the country.
Oh, we're losing out on a big market.
The only way that we can push back on this global trend is with the support of the US government.
This is so bloody patronizing, disingenuous.
I'll play the rest of it.
I'm going to shut my mouth off.
And that's why it's been so difficult over the past four years when even the US government has pushed for censorship.
By going after us and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further.
But now we have the opportunity to restore free expression, and I am excited to take it.
It'll take time to get this right, and these are complex systems.
They're never going to be perfect.
There's also a lot of illegal stuff that we still need to work very hard to remove.
But the bottom line is that after years of having our content moderation work focused primarily on removing content, It is time to focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our systems, and getting back to our roots about giving people a voice.
I'm looking forward to this next chapter.
Stay good out there, and more to come soon.
Faulting a guy or kicking a guy for doing the right thing.
You could do the right thing for the right reasons.
You can do the right thing for the right reasons.
You can do the right things for the wrong reasons.
You can do the wrong things for the right reasons.
And you can do the wrong things for the wrong reasons.
And right now we're in the realm of Zuckerberg doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
Now ultimately, at the end of the day, I don't care about the reasons for which he's doing it.
It's the right thing to do.
It should have been done.
Seven years ago.
It should never have been not done in the first place.
When I say he's doing the right things for the wrong reasons, all that that means is that I will never, and I mean never, trust Zuckerberg without verifying what he's saying.
And in as much as I agree with the decision that he's doing now, I'm exquisitely suspect of the motivation.
He has proven himself to be someone who...
We'll only do the right thing when he's financially, politically, socially compelled to do the right thing.
You cannot rely on his good judgment, his morality, or his principles.
You can rely on him being predictably motivated by money, clout, and influence.
Change that and look at Chris Pavlovsky, for example.
This is not intended to kiss Chris's butt, period.
I've just done him a long time.
He has, for good or for bad, and for...
That is a very loud...
I don't know if that is a jet or a lawnmower.
For good or for bad, and it's had business consequences, he has remained principled on matters of principle.
Not stubbornly so, not naively so, and never maliciously so.
Principled. And so when it meant not bending the knee to France and saying, okay, if you want us to censor, we're just not going to do business in France.
You'll all have to get VPNs.
That's what he did.
When they said in Brazil, take down these accounts.
He's not cutting off his nose to spite his face, but he does the right thing out of principle.
And so you can be a little bit more predictive and a little more reliable in terms of what he does.
But Zuckerberg, he's having his revelation, a moment of coming clean.
And he's only doing it because he feels he's losing money, he's losing clout, and he's losing influence.
Not because he genuinely believes it's the right thing.
Just remember, let me double check this.
Facebook initially created to rate women.
Yes, Zuckerberg created a website called Facemash in 2003 that allowed Harvard students to rate the attractiveness of other students.
I guess he was giving them a voice.
So that is it.
Real fact checkers are not afraid to cite their sources, says Rob underscore N underscore SoCal.
Rob and SoCal.
Real fact checkers, on the one hand, if you're getting paid for your fact check, then you have already a bit of a problem.
You don't need real fact-checking, real fact-checkers, when you have open discourse and open dialogue.
Because the open market of ideas and the open exchange of rebuttals will filter out the truth sooner than later.
So that is it, Zuckerberg.
Good for him.
Oh, hold on.
What did Chris have here?
This is massive.
Here's why.
Oh, yeah.
And Chris was tweeting out about this.
Meta ends fact-checking program as Zuckerberg vows to restore free expression on Instagram.
And Chris Pavlovsky tweets, this is massive.
Here's why.
Many years ago, Rumble and its creators received a lot of traffic users from Facebook.
If Meta goes free speech, the floodgates of referral traffic could explode and have a materially positive impact on our user growth for Rumble.
This is what Rumble's suing Google for right now.
I don't know if they use the censorship disinformation pretext, but Google, which owns YouTube, largest search engine owning the largest video hosting platform, doesn't refer search results to Rumble.
And maliciously, dishonestly, and fraudulently, when you put in a Rumble Google search, it refers to either a video on YouTube or an unrelated YouTube video.
And there's a massive lawsuit, and...
With the antitrust lawsuits that have been awarded against Google, and with this now latest announcement, they might do it of their own volition, but the bottom line, those are massive, massive lawsuits with potential impact, not only financial impact on a short term, but a financial impact on a long-term basis for them.
Let me see what the stock is at today.
It's at $13.56.
So that's that.
It is 150, people.
Let me see here.
I'm just making sure what I got in the back.
All right, we are going to take this party on over to Rumble.
Let me just get some chat over here and see what's going on.
Flush Google says Harbinger.
NYWVBlue says, I suspect he's as much, quote, in charge, end quote, of Facebook as Biden is in charge of the country.
The better analogy maybe would have been as much as Dorsey was in charge of Twitter back before Elon took it over.
And you're right.
They're not in charge when they're blackmailed through either personal blackmail or economic blackmail.
I mean, when you have intelligence embedded within Twitter...
I also have long held the belief that a lot of the...
I've never seen any of it.
I don't...
I'm so neurotic.
It's like some stories are hard to research because you don't even want your search engine, which you know that the government sees, to have certain suspicious words.
You look up terrorism and you try to look up a guy and you're like, okay, well, as a search tool, this is going to look a little weird if you don't know that you're looking into the New Orleans bomb or whatever, truck driver.
But I actually sincerely suspect it's pure...
Conjecture? Speculation?
That a lot of the material that was on Twitter and was not being removed was blackmail material, not of the individual's content, but of the platform as a whole.
Like, oh, Dorsey, this has always been on your platform.
You have been knowingly publishing or retaining CSAM or CP.
And now you're going to jail.
And now we're arresting you.
And now you're not collaborating with us enough, like the Telegram guy.
Now we're going to arrest you.
The whole irony is nobody on earth has sufficient FU money when they can lock you away for crimes that you never committed.
Okay. That's all I have to say about that.
Do you realize how much money Zook donated to the Dems throughout the years?
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Censorship has never been done by the good guys.
Gargle Snot is your name.
There's no question about it.
There is no coming to Jesus moment here for Zuckerberg.
This is calculated.
He was a willing, malicious participant when he thought he could get away with it, and for as long as he knew that he would get away with it.
Now he will not get away with it anymore.
And so he's got to come on his hands and knees, kissing the ring of Trump.
And that's it.
Zook still needs close watching, and America needs to clean up its child exploitation and trafficking if we are going to expect the UK to clean up theirs, says TJAJ Dallas.
Look, when you do not have a strong America, you have a weak world.
And that is a fact.
Alright, link to locals.
It's not only for local subs, supporters.
Link to...
So come on over and contemplate whether or not you want to join the party.
Come hang with the cool kids.
Ending on Twitter, thank you all for being here.
Tomorrow, Unusual Suspects and I'll have a stream.
It will not be at 12.30.
Stay tuned.
Twitter, we are ending.
I didn't realize I didn't end this before.
And Crumble...
We are ending.
I'll leave the chat open for a bit, and we're going to go on over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
I will be on with Alex Jones at 2.30.
Barnes will be on with Allison Morrow at 3 o'clock.
And that was fantastic.
Thank you all for being here.
