Speech but not freedom of reach in other words you can speak but people might not be able to hear you speak is the new thing you could argue that muzzles work similar to that if someone puts a muzzle over your face and uh you know you’re
Not able to be heard of course you can still speak you can hear yourself speaking but uh maybe nobody’s gonna hear you it reminds me as well of what was done during the Soviet Union uh during the time of the Soviet Union of course when it came to Religious Freedom
People said hey you know you’re allowed to have your religion you can have your belief but you know keep it inside your own home don’t let other people hear you express your faith um it’s very I mean of course he’s not restricting religion as far as I’ve seen
But it’s very similar to that a lot of this comes in after he brought in this new CEO yakarino and um you know she just seems like she’s a pro sen Pro censorship kind of deep-statish aligned individual uh but you know here we are uh the big thing
Though is that part of the censorship programs the rolling out they claim it’s a temporary thing specifically around elections and um that has people questioning well what is this censorship program for elections were y’all forced to do it is this some kind of government program you’re not
Telling us about why do you have a special censorship program just for the elections let me show you briefly it says here Twitter X says supporting people’s rights to accurate and safe political discourse on Twitter now you can have of course the right to free speech but it says supporting people’s
Right to accurate and safe political discourse since when do you have a right to Accurate discourse if you if you have two kids and they’re arguing with each other I guarantee each side believes that they’re the accurate one how do you determine which side is accurate
You got to hear them out you got to let them hash it out the basis of free speech was in the marketplace of ideas not a not a right to accuracy how do you how do you say a person reading the news has a right to accuracy of course the
News as as an industry as a business would have it in their interest to provide accurate information because if people stop if people stop believing the information is accurate people might stop reading you know you at least need to take steps to ensure credibility and accuracy but since when do people have a
Right to accuracy and of course the bigger question is accurate according to whom who decides what is accurate who decides what is inaccurate I can tell you already Twitter has censored us again since Elon Musk took out took over they actually censored one of our documentaries just recently
And I would say that’s 100 accurate there’s nothing in it that was that could be deemed I think false and so obviously they’re censoring for some other reason regardless they say they also have safe political discourse what is safe political discourse is it safe political discourse for example if you have you
Know Democrats throwing Molotov cocktails and so on is it safe political discourse if a proud boy uh you know like shakes uh shakes a metal fence it gets 17 years in prison for it which just happened by the way is it safe when you have people protesting across the
Street from the White House and one of them throws a Molotov cocktail in a historical church and sets herself on fire notably when Trump was President do you all remember that and nothing happened to them what about when you have these two individuals like torch a
Police car or for example when he had the Chas site you know the chop site whatever they want to call it the temporary autonomous Zone actual Insurrection take over parts of like what was it Seattle and did anybody go to did anybody go to prison for that actual Insurrection was that actual
Insurrect where they declared themselves a separate country declare and then actually carried out acts of forcing businesses to pay them for protection money did anybody go to prison for that is that safe political discourse or is it only safe political discourse if someone says they’re offended by what
Somebody else says because that’s what it sounds like regardless it says this during elections X Works to get in front of a range of tactics that people use to Target the process to do this we hire the right people update our policies and evolve our product now what are these tactics that people
Use to get ahead to Target the process and they have to you know kind of get ahead of this they’re not really being clear what the heck they’re talking about they’re suggesting that people use certain tactics to Target the process we assume of uh you know basically spreading
Information I don’t know if this is the process like reporting and you know going on the ground interviewing people you have one of the big journalists in Maui just got censored on Twitter by the way one of the journalists on the ground reporting in Maui got censored by
Twitter is that the process going on the ground to sites where information is happening and you know recording yourself and interviewing people is that the process they have to get ahead of it’s not clear they say this though our policies we have rules in place to help protect the safety and authenticity
Yeah authenticity and safety of conversations on X yeah again how do you how do you determine what is safe or unsafe information how do you determine what is authentic or inauthentic information if they’re talking again about censoring people and extreme things like making terrorist threats hey fine censor them if they’re
Talking about censoring people because you make somebody feel unsafe which is everything these days then no and how do you how do you talk about the authenticity they’re talking about AI or false information or Bots fine censor all of them but if you’re talking about trying to fact check people using
One-sided bias fact Checkers which happens a lot then no I will say the the community notes on Twitter though does tend to be decent at least and so if they’re going by that good but I can say already they have censor I’ve seen censorship on things that’s Absolution
Not have been censored censorship of accurate information censorship of actual news reporting censorship of investigative journalism and they’re on a bad track with that so far bar regardless it says during the elections this is the big part are Civic Integrity policy provides an extra layer of protection that is applied for limited
Period of time before and during an election so they have a special election censorship program maybe you can’t talk about election fraud or something you know because that’s what they’re doing everywhere else we’re updating this policy to make sure we strike the right balance between between tackling the most harmful types
Of content those that could intimidate or deceive people into surrendering their right to participate in a Civic process and not censoring political debate if they want if they want to make sure that nobody is intimidating or deceiving people into into you know surrendering their right to participate
In a civil process Civic process the people trying to get Trump removed from ballots I.E the secretaries of State they should all be censored are they not trying to first you know refuse people their civic rights if people want to you know for example vote for Donald Trump
Because and they want to remove them from the balance they can’t vote is that not interference of the person’s basic civil or Civic rights should that be then censored if people advocate for their removal of him using the 14th Amendment I think so what about uh you know using
The legal system to attack and undermine a political campaign is that depriving people of their civic right making sure that a an elected candidate one of the one of the main candidates cannot properly uh tour around and hold events and campaign I’d say that’s interference with Civic rights
Um you know what what do they consider to be to fall under this in this case you know what I mean and will this stay in place I really wonder if Donald Trump comes back into office are they are the Democrats in that case all just going to throw their
Hands up and be like we’re not going to question the election this was People’s Choice this is democracy we all respect democracy could you imagine that imagine all right suspend disbelief 2024 votes are in Donald Trump is the winner of the elections I guess 2025. he’s inaugurated
January 6 and the Democrats are just on the sidelines of plotting yay congratulations on winning a totally legitimate election uh no challenges uh we’re not going to question it whatsoever rise Mr President also we’re not going to question your uh you know your presidency or your legitimacy or
Your character because only only a domestic terrorist would do such a thing do you think they’re going to do that no I would I would be shocked to the core if I saw that they’re gonna up the narrative and they’re going to do the same thing they’ve done every single
Time which is carry out the same acts and same narratives that they’ve ironically tried to incriminate others of doing you know questioning the elections and probably carrying out Mass protests and acts of violence under the name of Defending democracy or something like that they’re going to do the exact
Same thing that they’re throwing other people in prison for because that’s what they’ve done every single time frankly and then that when that happens inevitably I wonder really if these big Tech platforms if Twitter if Facebook if uh you know these the you know Google and so on I wonder if they’ll continue
Censoring people once that happens I seriously do Wonder it says though the policy will also be aligned with our updated enforcement philosophy freedom of speech not reach yeah you know throwing throwing a Muslim on people’s face telling them they can only be heard within the confines of
Their own home that’s not freedom of speech freedom of speech is public speech freedom of speech is the ability to be heard if if you are speaking and nobody hears you are you engaging are you still you know exercising your First Amendment right if you have the right to
Say whatever you want but nobody can hear what you say is that a violation of your first amendment rights of course they would argue they’re a private company they don’t have to respect the Constitution but if they’re talking about freedom of speech they’re they’re they’re referencing that right
If they’re talking about freedom of speech they’re referencing that that constitutional protected right if you deprive a person of their right to be heard are you still protecting the right to free speech no you are not and this is again this new CEO they brought in they say we will add publicly visible
Labels to posts identified as possibly violating the Civic Integrity policy letting people know when their reach has been restricted now I would seriously also I really do hope that if they do roll this out that it’s not one-sided that people on both sides of the political aisle are held equally to
These standards that if people are spreading you know quote unquote disinformation then both sides are held to fact Checkers and the community notes if deemed accurate will censor people whether republican or democrat or whatever the heck they may be um I I do hope it’s like that otherwise
This is just another chapter of politicized censorship and I do think there needs to be investigations of whether the government is involved with this yet again because they were previously that being said the entire Trump Russia thing was disinformation every news Outlet every you know flapping talking head every intelligence agency every
Elected official that talked about Trump colluding with Russia was spreading disinformation should all of them be like retroactively uh you know censored because of that because then they’ve now been deemed to have been violation of public trust and their you know habitual Liars who cannot be cannot be trusted maybe they should
Did they not mislead people during three key elections notably in 2016-2018 and in 2020 when they notably in 2020 they again used the you know whole Trump Russia thing as a way to label the hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation and of course have that story removed should not everybody who
Engaged in that be deemed a spreader of disinformation and somebody who engaged in election interference if this is the standard maybe they should I don’t know I mean I’m just saying if they want to have one set of Standards why not enforce it on both sides of the
Aisle if they want to have a set of Standards why not ensure that it’s not politicized that it’s not biased if they want to do this then do it in a way that is responsible and in a way that respects people and uh you know upholds truth rather than upholds one political
Party over another which is the big concern here let me show you one more thing then we’ll go and jump forward epic TV and then I’ll talk to you about what’s happened with the 14th Amendment they say this this is their policy deeper on it freedom of speech not reach an update on
Our enforcement philosophy they say further in these beliefs are the foundation of freedom of speech not freedom of reach and by the way that’s that’s an inherently self-contradictory statement freedom of speech not reach the now you know you tell people yeah you can speak but whisper you can speak
But make sure nobody hears you speaking uh yeah say whatever you want but keep it to yourself buddy you know is is that is that telling someone they have freedom of speech no it’s not this is a sickening uh just perversion of free speech under the label of free speech
This is this is a sickening perversion of the very concept of free speech if you’re telling people they can speak but not be heard they say our enforcement philosophy which means when appropriate restricting the reach of tweets that violate our process by making the content less discoverable what they used to call
Shadow Banning They’re bringing back Shadow Banning anyways I you know Twitter okay I mean stepping back they have allowed some pretty you know spicy stuff on there Trump came back on Twitter he had a bunch of videos even claiming for example that uh you know the bringing back of the covid Leo
Narratives actually is a form of election interference they they allowed that to spread they allowed that to stay there they’ve actually had they have had Tucker Carlson’s videos they have Tucker Carlson making some pretty pretty far out stuff suggested they might assassinate Donald Trump suggesting that
Um you know the media were not covering Barack Obama’s campaign when evidence had emerged that he was engaging in homosexual activity and was smoking crack they allowed those videos to stay on Twitter and so you know I don’t want to go I don’t want to suggest that they’re they’re taking
This too far yet but things like this do concern me and I will say and this is a personal note so you can you can deem me offended right I guess they censored us they I believe it was our um our vaccine injury documentary I’m pretty sure that
Was the one we had advertisements and they banned it and so you know I don’t I don’t trust them at this point you might notice I’ve been very little engaged on social media this is one of the reasons of course you know my I have a team that you know with
Through epic times they do a lot of our promotions and stuff but me myself I’m not really that engaged in social media it’s because I don’t trust their integrity I don’t think it’s a I don’t think it’s a good investment of my time to build up my you know following on
Platforms that very that have in the past have been very frequently do censor me you know what I mean uh it’s it’s very unfortunate at the same time though I do believe Elon Musk actually does believe in free speech at the same time too I hope that if things get too far
That he reels it back in I would argue it’s already very close to the line of being too far and um you know we’ll see where it goes from here that said speaking of censorship those of you on YouTube by the way we couldn’t even air yesterday’s episode
Episode on YouTube if you’re wondering where we were yesterday we could not show you yesterday’s episode because we talked about things that YouTube Just bans uh so you know case in point 25 cents a week come join us on Epic TV speaking of things will get us banned
Let me show you a trailer of the uh the special feature we put on in gen six all the more important because they just censored a guy for like shaking a fence for 17 years in prison uh come join us in Epic TV let me show this trailer we’ll jump over now
What was the process of actually putting this all together many many hours of finding the right camera angles and watching it the first trouble started just after one o’clock 45 pages here it is right here Donald Trump has been indicted somber day for the country this all happened
Before President Trump’s speech was over the founder of The Oath Keepers militia group is headed to prison for more than 18 years his lawyers didn’t have the studio the video we’re watching right now his own lawyers did not have A question of what did the people do who actually did enter the building this is where we picked it up with the security footage that is new at this point the story dramatically changes the New Jersey man who assaulted a capital police officer on January 6 has
Been sentenced so this was withheld this was not shown to the defense that could be considered exculpatory evident this doesn’t seem like what a lot of the media is showing it’s going to change narratives no matter what your political perspective is what we’re after is the truth
