1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,760
Well, I'm going into work. It's Monday. There is a ton of news we're going to cover. The

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:14,920
censorship has been accelerated. The attempts to try to remove Trump have expanded. And

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,160
so when I get into the office, I'm just going to go in and make sure that all the articles

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,900
that I've sent to the crew have been printed and ready. I'll review videos and stories

5
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:29,420
they think are interesting. I'll handle other business issues to keep the operation going.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,760
And then I'll go on air. And then after I get off air, I'll then go do more administrative

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:42,180
things, cut ads, do things like that. And there's so many attempts to censors lock us. I've

8
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:46,800
just got to work even harder to make sure we punch through that electronic Berlin wall.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Since I graduated from high school in 1993, I was really wanting to get involved in politics

10
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,760
because I cared about the issues. I was involved in it because I really cared about the Second

11
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,720
government. I cared about property rights. I cared about America. I wanted to be involved.

12
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:33,200
About 1995 that I finally realized, don't try to intern at local radio. Don't try to go get a job

13
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,960
at a local newspaper. Go to access television and go on air yourself.

14
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,040
Oh, God, would you think I was awful if I said I didn't like him as a president?

15
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,960
I don't like him as a president.

16
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:47,440
I think he's a liar. And I think they're all professional liars. And I think that they,

17
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:51,980
I don't know where they learned to do it. His smug little grin, it just irritates me to no end.

18
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,880
And I cannot believe he's running the country. Of course, he's not. But it's just pretty disgusting.

19
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,720
They're all a bunch of paid liars.

20
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:11,960
And so there I was in 1995 in a control room of the access TV station. I'd taken one class

21
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,020
and I went live.

22
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,560
Well, Alex, at 26 years old, is now syndicated to over 40 commercial markets. So he's huge,

23
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,500
not to mention that he's on shortwave and the internet. He's been number one on AOL,

24
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,820
you know, numerous times. Last year, he won Best of Austin, which is a big honor in the city.

25
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:33,780
Alex is a sensation in what he does. I think he's a new sensation.

26
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,560
I went on and talked like 10 minutes and gave the number out and they had 10 phone lines and they

27
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,820
just all lit up. And the manager walked in and he said, do you want a weeknight show? And I said,

28
00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:51,820
sure, I'm ready to go. So I had the number one show in Austin, two years running. And by then I was

29
00:02:51,820 --> 00:02:55,660
being paid, but I didn't care that we were getting the lion's share of the money. I just cared that we

30
00:02:55,660 --> 00:03:00,740
were getting the word out. And suddenly I was on national news and they were talking about me on

31
00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:05,440
the tonight show and all these great things were happening. And they got madder and madder and said,

32
00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:11,320
people are putting pressure on us. George Bush is putting pressure on us, the governor then and

33
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Bill Clinton is. And they said, listen, Alex, you're very talented, but you need to stop doing

34
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,140
politics. And they offered me this big raise and everything. And I said, listen, I'll try to integrate

35
00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:24,660
some more positive things in, but I'm not going to do that. And a few months later,

36
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:30,760
they fired me. From his Central Texas Command Center, deep behind enemy lines.

37
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:34,760
Damn it. I wish they just stopped. They've got enough power now, but it's the sick stuff

38
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,000
they come out with the United Nations. We got to reduce world population by 80%. It's just how

39
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,500
they want us. They want us serfs out there. Oh, you know, like your serfs over and over.

40
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:50,260
And then about 18 years ago, 17 years ago, I built my first little studio in South Austin.

41
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,140
And about 12 years ago, I moved into this current location and only rented out maybe 5,000 square

42
00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:05,840
feet. And we've expanded to over 20,000 square feet now in the same complex. And so it's just been

43
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,740
a natural progression. Kind of like a crab outgrows his shell that he just kind of goes and gets a

44
00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:16,740
bigger one or a snail. And so this place has been an experiment. Basically, it's like a laboratory

45
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:22,280
of how to get around censorship, how to get the truth out, how to reach the people and how to reboot

46
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:26,440
not just American nationalism, but real Americana.

47
00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:33,480
I want to talk about the social media site. My issue is a lot of big sites that are for everybody,

48
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,700
which I want to tell you actually for everybody, not just for conservatives,

49
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:43,600
have kind of a generic name like that. But I was also thinking Freeport always means

50
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,080
places where people can pull their ships in without having to pay duty, without being heavily inspected

51
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,880
or messed with. The free speech public square.

52
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:54,920
Or digital public square.

53
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,780
Yeah. Something where it lets people know.

54
00:04:57,780 --> 00:05:00,320
Well, that's a good point. It's slogan. It's slogan has to do with that.

55
00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:03,420
All right, guys. Let's have a quick finish up. We'll be done. Okay.

56
00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:11,480
I wouldn't back down. And I went from 200 plus radio stations to about 30 some radio stations in

57
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:18,240
a month or two. And I remember the head of the network who had was a gold company. He bought up

58
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,660
the militia network. And he said, I'm going to stand with your first amendment. But you realize

59
00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:28,300
you're going to lose $3 million yourself a year. That's what I was making. And we're going to lose

60
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:32,880
$10 million. And I said, yeah, it's the truth. I'm going to keep saying it. So, you know,

61
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,460
I'm not saying I'm proud of that, but I'm not for sale.

62
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:47,240
My name is Laura Loomer, and I'm a conservative investigative guerrilla journalist.

63
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Within a month or so of me being independent, you know, I did one of my most viral videos ever.

64
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,720
And that's when I decided to crash the stage of Shakespeare in the Park.

65
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:02,280
The controversial Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar will give its final

66
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,860
two performances this weekend. Last night, the bigger performances happened offstage as

67
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:09,080
two protesters denounced the production.

68
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,980
Laura Loomer stormed the stage, interrupting the performance, denouncing the depiction of

69
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:16,100
violence against the right.

70
00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:22,400
It was a big, big sensation watching my Twitter feed. And I soon became known as one of the most

71
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,540
notorious right-wing individuals on Twitter. At the time that this was taking place,

72
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,180
people were talking about the Fearless Girl statue and how it was such an iconic representation

73
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:37,760
of the feminist movement. And it was kind of like this message like, yes, I can do anything.

74
00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:45,280
And the women who were championing Fearless Girl, many of them themselves were also advocating

75
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:52,520
for things like World Hijab Day. And I draped Fearless Girl in a burqa. And I did it while

76
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,360
everybody was taking pictures. And I was wearing a MAGA hat. And I was wearing a shirt that had

77
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,260
Donald Trump's face on it with my poster that said, there's no such thing as an Islamic feminist.

78
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:06,360
And the backlash was crazy. I live streamed it. Then the news article started to come out,

79
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,900
right? And these left-leaning organizations and their fake news reporters started writing hit pieces

80
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:38,920
here in Newtown, Connecticut, the site today of a mass shooting and this time gunfire aimed at

81
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,680
elementary school children. They're reporting multiple fatalities involved in the shooting

82
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:52,160
at the elementary school. There are 27 victims, 20 children, seven adults. Alex Jones repeatedly

83
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,880
claimed that the slaughter of innocent children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School never

84
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:05,140
happened. His baseless allegations aren't just offensive, they're dangerous. But here's the thing,

85
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:11,200
Alex Jones isn't going away. I didn't kill the children at Sandy Hook.

86
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:19,660
And I think Sandy Hook happened. But definitely it's been used as a political tool. And I think

87
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:25,340
that's what the public saw early on was how it was grabbed by these people and used. So the public

88
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:29,380
said, hey, we've been lied to a lot. We don't believe this. And I said, well, let's look at that,

89
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:35,040
which is everybody's right to do. And I did say like four years ago, I think this really happened.

90
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:43,360
I think Sandy Hook happened. But I think what's come out of it now politically is fake.

91
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,560
In 2011, consumers spent nearly $25 billion on video games. Advocates blame those games and

92
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:55,140
violent movies for sparking mass shootings. Walmart has stopped online sales of the

93
00:08:55,140 --> 00:09:01,020
Bushmaster rifle used in Newtown. A proposed ban on assault weapons limiting ammunition clip

94
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:07,940
side. Some longtime allies of the gun lobby, this week was a tipping point. Never in my life did I ever

95
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:12,580
think that we would have 20 children slaughtered. As every politician says after every shooting,

96
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,520
what I would like is your legislation, not your thoughts and prayers. And why the hell can you buy

97
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,980
a weapon of mass destruction? That's what it is. That's the first thing that should be gone.

98
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:35,560
I was used as the straw man to build up this big bad guy and then to sell my silencing so that once

99
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:42,880
the public took the bait, took the hook in their mouth, then everyone else would fall.

100
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:52,420
So this is the leather stocking trail. It's only about 2.5 miles and goes around this lake.

101
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,260
As of the filming of this video, the YouTube channel associated with Gavin McInnes has been

102
00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:03,380
taken down. It connects to another trail that's about 15 miles. It's funny how you think New York

103
00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:08,280
is just completely urbanized, but we're only about 40 minutes from the city, from Grand Central.

104
00:10:08,420 --> 00:10:13,940
Gavin McInnes is out of a job. And that is because he's a crazy, violent white supremacist.

105
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:18,580
You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere and you can see for miles. It's incredible.

106
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,300
And now these guys are going to lose their livelihoods because that's somehow racist.

107
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:28,280
McInnes denies his group is racist and likens it to the Knights of Columbus and the Shriners.

108
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,340
McInnes himself is a well-known, provocative right-wing commentator.

109
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,780
So two neighbors put up these signs that the leader of a hate group lives in our town. Oh no.

110
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,000
So they put up the signs on my lawn that said, hey, there's no home here. Instead of talking to me,

111
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,980
of course. And being known as a Nazi is the same as being known as a pedophile in today's society.

112
00:10:51,980 --> 00:11:01,360
It just keeps getting worse. I mean, they vandalized my car and they screamed obscenities in my house

113
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:08,040
and planned a vigil on my front lawn and just ridiculous shit. Where am I going now? Oh yeah.

114
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:17,420
Um, but you know that I'm also getting doxxed by Antifa and getting death threats and I'm going to the FBI and they're saying,

115
00:11:17,420 --> 00:11:26,800
this one is believable. So, you know, I had armed guards in my front room for a while, like cop buddies, I'd pay a few bucks to stay up all night.

116
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,000
I did it a few times.

117
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:33,080
Gavin McInnes? Yeah, they took him off of everything. Yeah, he's off of everything. Yeah.

118
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:35,800
Yeah, and that's, that's that. And with him, it's even...

119
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,900
But was he, he's like a hate speech guy, isn't he? He's like fucking inciting violence and whatever.

120
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,360
Because he's now what you said. See, you don't know him, but you said he's the hate speech guy.

121
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,700
You said he's that guy, he's that hate. That's how everybody's going to see him.

122
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:49,980
Right.

123
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:52,980
So, if you found out your sister was dating him...

124
00:11:52,980 --> 00:12:02,140
The violent, racist, thug and fraudster known as Tommy Robinson is stirring up racial hatred,

125
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:12,440
organizing violent, thuggish crimes around the country, setting up the EDL and everything that comes with it crosses a line.

126
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:18,120
Tommy Robinson fancies himself an activist and journalist known for provocative statements.

127
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,100
A villain to many, but a hero to some.

128
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:30,480
Tommy Robinson's fascists are on the march. They're trying to use a wave of xenophobia, bigotry and anti-Muslim hatred.

129
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,660
Tommy Robinson is not a benign person. Actually, what he's trying to do is divide the community in Britain.

130
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,860
And actually, for us to take such a light view of it, I think is dangerous.

131
00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:48,040
A loathsome, obnoxious, repellent individual. And I make no bones about my view being the same as his on that front.

132
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:56,460
Unless you have truth, if you have a corrupt media, you don't have a democracy.

133
00:12:56,460 --> 00:13:01,680
If you have a media controlled with fake news, there is no democracy.

134
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,660
There will be alternatives that will grow. But I think it's a very dangerous line they're going down.

135
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:12,160
Because when people see no other platform for their voice, I used to say with demonstrations,

136
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,820
demonstrations were like a pressure valve. People are building up, they're angry, they're frustrated.

137
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:18,660
And then they see someone speaking their language and giving them a platform.

138
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:22,740
You take that away, what other choice do you leave people?

139
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:31,200
Society is a pressure cooker. And people like Owen Wilson, Laura Loomer, me, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos,

140
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,880
they are all little vows. And Lenny Bruce talked about this. They're vows on the pressure cooker.

141
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,880
Psss, psss, psss, letting off steam.

142
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:45,340
There's a lot of anger out there, especially with current situation in this country, across Europe.

143
00:13:45,340 --> 00:13:57,140
And people's faith in the media is at an all-time low. And the more they do now to try and censor the people who are the alternative,

144
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:59,140
the more frustration there will build against them.

145
00:13:59,140 --> 00:14:02,980
I don't think we've seen division like this in America since Vietnam.

146
00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:07,600
But at least during Vietnam, the right and the left could talk.

147
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,980
They can't talk anymore.

148
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:13,880
I literally had grown men trying to attack me as I was putting a burka.

149
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,840
Literally just a sheet, right? A sheet. That's what a burka is. It's a black sheet.

150
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:23,000
And I put it over this statue. And people were so upset.

151
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,140
And they were trying to hit me. They were pulling me away.

152
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:30,100
To the routine violence of left-wing activists at protests.

153
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:39,080
Their clashes with neo-Nazis shut down the UC Berkeley campus in February over a planned appearance by far-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos.

154
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,940
They fought with white supremacists a year ago in Sacramento. Five people were stabbed.

155
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,780
German police say they used water cannon and batons to disperse left-wing protesters who became violent.

156
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,860
This woman pepper-sprayed during a local TV interview.

157
00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:56,820
Cars are once again on fire.

158
00:14:56,820 --> 00:15:01,200
All the police have to go on is that they're suspected left-wing extremists.

159
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:09,560
Some have run straight to attack me.

160
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,900
And they're going to attack my camera woman and my cameraman.

161
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,200
This isn't for Taylor.

162
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Ready, Alex?

163
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:22,120
Here he goes on his cue.

164
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:23,760
Three, two, roll the video.

165
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,500
You're listening to The Alex Jones Show.

166
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:29,760
YouTube's gone.

167
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:31,540
It's all gone.

168
00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:34,400
They blew it all away in the middle of the night.

169
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:42,900
When you go where our YouTube used to be, you see that they've said this account has been terminated.

170
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:50,800
Starting on August 6th through August 7th, it was a blitzkrieg of censorship.

171
00:15:51,200 --> 00:16:06,580
And they decided to deplatform my billions and millions of views and millions of followers off of everything from iTunes to Google to YouTube to Spotify to even discuss our commenting system on InfoWars.

172
00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:09,340
If I was no longer on those platforms, I couldn't respond.

173
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,960
So it was a blur of just, Jones is a white supremacist.

174
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:15,320
Jones beat up a child.

175
00:16:15,820 --> 00:16:17,180
Jones is a, you know, a criminal.

176
00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:19,080
Jones, Jones.

177
00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:20,700
Spokesmodel Alex Jones.

178
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Because it looks like his website InfoWars just lost their war on info.

179
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:29,020
InfoWars.

180
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:30,200
Alex Jones here.

181
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,020
As you've probably heard, I was banned from Facebook, Apple, and Spotify.

182
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:36,720
Twitter gives Alex Jones the boot.

183
00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:43,480
Multiple online platforms have now taken down content associated with Alex Jones and InfoWars.

184
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Several tech giants removed talk show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from their platforms.

185
00:16:49,780 --> 00:16:56,920
You know, you advocate killing one person and millions of fans with dissociative identity disorder and suddenly everyone loses their sense of humor.

186
00:16:57,180 --> 00:17:01,000
But it wasn't for fake news that Apple banned his podcasts on Sunday.

187
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,460
A company spokesperson said it was for hate speech, though they didn't cite a particular piece of content.

188
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:14,600
CNN's Oliver Darcy is one of the main reporters putting pressure on these social media companies to ban Alex Jones and InfoWars.

189
00:17:14,860 --> 00:17:21,800
In fact, this is the first time that these platforms have taken pretty drastic actions against Alex Jones.

190
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,980
What the fuck?

191
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:30,620
Like, how can I even sit here now and call Alex Jones a conspiracy theorist when our channel just got striked down for even fucking talking about him?

192
00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:41,280
Getting kicked off of YouTube and having all of our work torn down from that site was really, like, upsetting and brutal.

193
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,700
It was all within a span of two weeks in the middle of August.

194
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:51,520
And, you know, the way Alex puts it is we've kind of become punch drunk to the censorship.

195
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,260
You know, we've been putting up with it to some extent for a long time.

196
00:17:56,340 --> 00:17:59,620
I mean, they'd shut down the Alex Jones channel, I think, five or more times previously.

197
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,680
Rescending strikes, putting him back on.

198
00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:06,440
We've dealt with 30-day Facebook suspensions, 90-day Facebook suspensions.

199
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,640
Same thing goes for Twitter.

200
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:13,040
So, by the time the full censorship came on, we were already kind of punch drunk to the whole thing.

201
00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:17,900
So, me personally, I sort of get depressive in those types of situations where I just go, it's hopeless.

202
00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:19,460
We can't do anything.

203
00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:20,260
They're too powerful.

204
00:18:20,420 --> 00:18:22,540
They just crush us and they don't even care.

205
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,760
And it's very, like, upsetting.

206
00:18:25,340 --> 00:18:31,580
And you know that they don't, not only do they not care, they would laugh at you if they knew how upset it made you.

207
00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:35,940
I think I described it in the last interview as like a battleship that had come under fire.

208
00:18:36,580 --> 00:18:42,000
And that's sort of the, that's definitely the most appropriate way to describe the atmosphere.

209
00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:48,140
As well as personally just a deep sinking feeling of it's all gone.

210
00:18:49,020 --> 00:18:55,140
I mean, I had combined just millions and millions and millions of views, tens of thousands of comments and feedback.

211
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,480
And it just gets stripped away.

212
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,420
It just gets deleted.

213
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:05,620
And no, no way to save it, no way to look back, no way to say, you know, no, trust me, go look.

214
00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:07,400
I, I've done a lot of work.

215
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:08,960
It's, it's made a big impact.

216
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,600
It's like they took away everything.

217
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,740
And it's, it's brutal.

218
00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:18,380
You roll with the punches.

219
00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:28,560
They saw InfoWars as a dominant, independent, anti-war, pro-human, pro-sovereign, pro-family, populist organization.

220
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,380
So they thought, first they come for Alex Jones.

221
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:36,920
Then when people say, okay, take him off the air, everyone else like dominoes would fall.

222
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:45,520
And now it is any conservative or nationalist that is articulate and smart.

223
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,720
It's any leftist that is an establishment that somebody has a beef with at the big tech companies.

224
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:57,000
Thousands of prominent voices have been taken off in the last six, eight, nine months since this started.

225
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,520
And it's just been an amazing process.

226
00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:03,760
And, and, and we predicted it was coming and we knew it was coming.

227
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:05,400
We knew this was coming.

228
00:20:05,460 --> 00:20:07,400
That's why I really expanded on TV and radio.

229
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:11,060
And of course, when you're done, they're going to close up shop.

230
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:16,800
And there'll only be a few major media outlets and one centralized system.

231
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,860
I told you this was coming.

232
00:20:20,860 --> 00:20:29,120
The night I got banned from Twitter on November 21st, 2018, it was really devastating to me.

233
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:38,300
I mean, I almost couldn't believe what had happened because it just came at such a bad time and such a random time.

234
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:46,980
And just the circumstances surrounding the band really infuriated me and kind of made me have a meltdown to be completely honest.

235
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:48,260
You know, I mean, here I am.

236
00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:52,200
I hadn't seen my dad in about a year and he came to visit me for Thanksgiving.

237
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:58,940
And I'm on my way to this event where I was about to hang out with several of my supporters to celebrate, you know,

238
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,760
a story I had broken just weeks before about voter fraud in Florida that, you know,

239
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,000
was a top hit and was mentioned by Rush Limbaugh, was on Drudge, it was everywhere.

240
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,420
And I get banned, right?

241
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,120
I sat in my car for a minute and I didn't even want to go to the event.

242
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,180
And then my dad was telling me, you know, just calm down, everything's going to be okay.

243
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,420
And I just remember my phone blowing up.

244
00:21:23,660 --> 00:21:30,680
Neo-Nazi, white supremacist, Laura Loomer, Islamophobe Laura Loomer banned from Twitter for anti-Muslim hate speech.

245
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:34,500
Well, that's not true, right?

246
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,660
How am I supposed to respond to this?

247
00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:42,360
And that's why I decided to handcuff myself to Twitter one week after I was permanently banned.

248
00:21:42,460 --> 00:21:43,420
I had to protest this.

249
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,500
When you get banned on Twitter and you're a public figure and people start, you know,

250
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,600
just putting out articles about you within minutes of you being banned,

251
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,220
accusing you of being a white supremacist, accusing you of being a racist,

252
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,280
accusing you of being a bigot, a Nazi, an Islamophobe.

253
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,040
How was I supposed to respond to that while being banned?

254
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Like, so I was deplatformed.

255
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:09,960
I couldn't get on any social media and defend myself.

256
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,280
And then I got fired.

257
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:14,560
It was like a new thing every day.

258
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,220
After October 12th, after that Otayi Yamaguchi thing,

259
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,480
I was in the news every single day.

260
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Twitter trending every day.

261
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,100
And that's not pleasant.

262
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,820
You don't want that.

263
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,680
So, yeah, that sucked.

264
00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:31,000
And, I mean, I'm fine financially.

265
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,840
And I've been through this a million times.

266
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,580
You know, I was pushed out of Vice.

267
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,260
I lost my ad agency.

268
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,880
I've been removed from Twitter.

269
00:22:39,460 --> 00:22:42,120
I've had my PayPal closed, my website taken down.

270
00:22:43,260 --> 00:22:48,980
Five universities have asked me to come, asked me to speak,

271
00:22:49,220 --> 00:22:50,720
and then they've reversed those decisions

272
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,260
due to threats and intimidation by far-left organizations.

273
00:22:53,780 --> 00:22:54,840
They removed me from PayPal.

274
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,680
That affected me with a 70% decrease in the income I had,

275
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,540
which gives me the ability to work and operate,

276
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:01,760
which is their intention.

277
00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:05,720
It's kind of ironic because it's a form of fascism,

278
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,640
all this war on color, war on questions,

279
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,540
war on people being outrageous.

280
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,120
I mean, Laura Loomer's made some mistakes.

281
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:13,460
You can be a bull in a China shop.

282
00:23:13,940 --> 00:23:15,080
You need a bull in a China shop.

283
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,880
You need someone out there mixing it up.

284
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,700
You'll see a video by Yvette Cooper and, I think, Nas Shah.

285
00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:28,460
You'll see them with the CEO of YouTube grilling him

286
00:23:28,460 --> 00:23:30,220
about why my videos are being shared.

287
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Despite the fact that videos of Tommy Robinson

288
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,080
were cited as part of the online radicalization

289
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,320
of Darren Osborne in the Finsbury Park Court case,

290
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:43,500
YouTube continues to promote them videos.

291
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,940
The first two videos recommended to me by YouTube,

292
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,780
when I just click on, as I've just done with this afternoon,

293
00:23:51,060 --> 00:23:52,400
I click onto YouTube,

294
00:23:52,780 --> 00:23:56,500
the first two recommendations are Tommy Robinson videos.

295
00:23:56,620 --> 00:23:58,000
What have you got to say about that?

296
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,300
We are working to make sure that videos that promote hate

297
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:03,760
or promote violence, if they violate our policies,

298
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,160
are removed from the platform.

299
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,600
That is government interfering with private companies

300
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,160
in order to censor what the public are hearing.

301
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:10,860
It's fascism.

302
00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:15,780
I don't really see much being done

303
00:24:15,780 --> 00:24:17,380
about social media censorship.

304
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,740
I mean, if you go back to September 5th,

305
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:22,260
when Jack Dorsey and executives from Facebook

306
00:24:22,260 --> 00:24:24,840
were brought in to Congress

307
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,380
to testify about social media censorship,

308
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:30,300
and Jack Dorsey tells Steve Scalise,

309
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,000
no, you know, we don't censor conservatives.

310
00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:35,440
My father's a Republican,

311
00:24:35,660 --> 00:24:36,920
and my mother is a Democrat,

312
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,840
and even the Republicans didn't really seem

313
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,040
to want to do much about the censorship

314
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,360
of their own constituents.

315
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,880
These representatives just kind of took Dorsey's answer

316
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,940
and didn't really challenge him any bit whatsoever,

317
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:50,060
and it just infuriated me to the point

318
00:24:50,060 --> 00:24:52,100
where I felt the need to stand up

319
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:53,420
during the congressional hearing,

320
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,920
and I called him out for it,

321
00:24:54,980 --> 00:24:56,980
and I said, you're a liar, Mr. Dorsey.

322
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:57,960
You are a liar.

323
00:24:58,120 --> 00:24:59,480
Your employees were caught on camera

324
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,940
by Project Veritas admitting

325
00:25:00,940 --> 00:25:03,140
that you shadow ban and censor conservatives.

326
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,020
President Donald Trump, help us.

327
00:25:05,020 --> 00:25:06,860
Please help us, Mr. President,

328
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,080
before it is too late,

329
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:09,780
because Jack Dorsey is trying

330
00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:11,040
to influence the election,

331
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:12,780
to sway the election,

332
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:15,200
so that the Democrats can steal the election.

333
00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:16,880
That is why he is censoring

334
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,020
and shadow banning conservatives.

335
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,900
You are a liar, Jack Dorsey.

336
00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:22,880
You are a liar, Jack Dorsey.

337
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:24,000
Stop the bias.

338
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,460
We are conservative Americans,

339
00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:28,340
not Russian bots, Jack Dorsey.

340
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,020
Not a single representative

341
00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:33,040
mentioned the fact that Twitter employees

342
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,300
were caught on camera,

343
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
censoring and admitting

344
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,140
to censoring conservatives.

345
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:39,820
I mean, in other words,

346
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,440
Jack Dorsey committed perjury,

347
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:42,600
and he got away with it.

348
00:25:44,340 --> 00:25:46,800
I don't know how to describe it accurately.

349
00:25:47,460 --> 00:25:50,360
It's just heavy, heavy, heavy.

350
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,440
Make no mistake, it's,

351
00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:54,300
we're not in Kansas anymore.

352
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,200
We're not in Kansas anymore.

353
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,120
The juice of these pickles

354
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,540
is on you, Alex Jones.

355
00:26:03,340 --> 00:26:06,060
No, I get wanting to punch Alex Jones.

356
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,940
Everybody does.

357
00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:09,020
But conservatives are much more concerned

358
00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:11,000
that Twitter might be silencing

359
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,060
right-wing tweets

360
00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:13,600
with something they call

361
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,460
shadow banning conservatives.

362
00:26:15,460 --> 00:26:16,860
They're private companies

363
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:18,660
with private terms of service.

364
00:26:18,780 --> 00:26:19,880
These private companies.

365
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,260
No private company

366
00:26:21,260 --> 00:26:24,320
is legally forced to protect.

367
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,340
But here's the deal.

368
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:26,720
Twitter is a private company.

369
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,700
They're not obligated

370
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:29,080
to publish your every thought.

371
00:26:29,380 --> 00:26:30,180
A lot of people say,

372
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:30,820
you know,

373
00:26:31,220 --> 00:26:32,040
you're on Facebook.

374
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,720
You didn't pay any money.

375
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,140
Facebook kicked you off.

376
00:26:35,620 --> 00:26:36,240
That's not,

377
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,080
it's not your right.

378
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,500
And that's,

379
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:39,700
but it's definitely true.

380
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,600
But the,

381
00:26:40,660 --> 00:26:41,880
the climate has changed.

382
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,340
It's like saying,

383
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:43,740
uh,

384
00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:45,020
hey,

385
00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:46,100
I made it illegal

386
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:47,120
for you to have a computer,

387
00:26:47,260 --> 00:26:47,940
but you could still

388
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:48,840
use a typewriter,

389
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,460
and you could still

390
00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:51,500
hand out little notices

391
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:52,620
to people on the street.

392
00:26:53,140 --> 00:26:54,180
And that's not the culture

393
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:55,020
anymore, my friend.

394
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,140
Twitter and Facebook

395
00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:56,520
are,

396
00:26:56,580 --> 00:26:57,320
are protected.

397
00:26:58,380 --> 00:27:00,340
And they are basically

398
00:27:00,340 --> 00:27:02,240
immune to lawsuits

399
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:02,680
brought,

400
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:03,680
brought upon them

401
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,640
simply because

402
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,440
they are treated

403
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,420
as platforms

404
00:27:06,420 --> 00:27:07,480
instead of publishers.

405
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,980
The way America

406
00:27:08,980 --> 00:27:09,740
communicates

407
00:27:09,740 --> 00:27:10,720
is through social media.

408
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:11,840
For better,

409
00:27:11,940 --> 00:27:12,360
for worse,

410
00:27:12,460 --> 00:27:13,540
that's how we've evolved.

411
00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:14,440
And it's such

412
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,720
a ubiquitous

413
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,720
and integral part

414
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,280
of the country

415
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,740
that to take away

416
00:27:18,740 --> 00:27:20,340
those few platforms

417
00:27:20,340 --> 00:27:21,080
is to

418
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,020
take away

419
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:22,620
someone's voice,

420
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,220
especially

421
00:27:23,220 --> 00:27:24,900
when they're in media.

422
00:27:25,220 --> 00:27:25,680
But if you look

423
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,320
at their behavior

424
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:26,920
and you look at

425
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,560
the evidence

426
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,100
that shows

427
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:28,780
that they are

428
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:30,000
censoring people

429
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,780
and they are

430
00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:31,900
targeting people

431
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:32,500
and they're working

432
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:33,420
with left-wing

433
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:34,780
groups

434
00:27:34,780 --> 00:27:35,360
and actual

435
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,080
Islamic terrorist

436
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:36,760
organizations

437
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,840
to silence people,

438
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:38,380
well,

439
00:27:38,460 --> 00:27:38,900
they're picking

440
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:39,440
and choosing,

441
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:39,940
right?

442
00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:40,320
So,

443
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,120
so when you're

444
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:41,960
picking and choosing

445
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:42,740
what content

446
00:27:42,740 --> 00:27:43,460
is and isn't

447
00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:43,920
acceptable,

448
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:44,780
you no longer

449
00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:45,540
are a,

450
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:46,420
a platform,

451
00:27:46,780 --> 00:27:46,940
right?

452
00:27:46,940 --> 00:27:47,680
You're a publisher.

453
00:27:48,180 --> 00:27:48,540
I think that

454
00:27:48,540 --> 00:27:49,460
the social media

455
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:50,140
now is part

456
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:51,040
of everyday life

457
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,800
and they shouldn't

458
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,680
be able to censor

459
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,380
or delete people

460
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,040
from everyday life.

461
00:27:56,140 --> 00:27:56,680
That's what they're doing.

462
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:58,840
It's part of society

463
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,560
and if you're deleted

464
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,060
off of Facebook,

465
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,740
off of Instagram,

466
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:03,760
off of Twitter,

467
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:04,920
off of YouTube,

468
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,840
it's like you're

469
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,960
removed from society.

470
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,560
They shouldn't be

471
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,360
allowed to do that.

472
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:10,680
When these social media

473
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,300
monopolies took over

474
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:13,180
the entire culture

475
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:13,800
of the country,

476
00:28:14,620 --> 00:28:16,560
then they're utilities

477
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:16,940
now.

478
00:28:20,020 --> 00:28:21,860
70% of employers

479
00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:23,460
scan a potential

480
00:28:23,460 --> 00:28:24,420
employee's social

481
00:28:24,420 --> 00:28:25,220
media profile

482
00:28:25,220 --> 00:28:26,280
before even

483
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,040
interviewing them.

484
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:27,880
So,

485
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:28,840
if you've been

486
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,280
banned on social

487
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,080
media because you

488
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:31,640
said something

489
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,260
controversial,

490
00:28:32,460 --> 00:28:33,160
then your potential

491
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,160
employer looks for

492
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,880
your social media

493
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,940
account and it's

494
00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:36,480
not there,

495
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,340
that's going to

496
00:28:37,340 --> 00:28:37,960
raise a lot of

497
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,560
red flags.

498
00:28:39,020 --> 00:28:39,700
So that's where

499
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:40,520
the self-censorship

500
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,040
comes in.

501
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:41,720
If this is going to

502
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,960
impact ordinary

503
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,380
people's daily lives,

504
00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:45,740
where they're afraid

505
00:28:45,740 --> 00:28:46,540
to express a

506
00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:47,420
political opinion,

507
00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:48,480
even amongst their

508
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,780
close friends on

509
00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:50,520
social media,

510
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,600
that's when it gets

511
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,220
really insidious in

512
00:28:53,220 --> 00:28:55,200
terms of self-censorship

513
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,000
and control.

514
00:28:56,460 --> 00:28:57,200
So if it gets to the

515
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,760
point where you can't

516
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,700
have a bank account

517
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,060
and you can't get a

518
00:29:02,060 --> 00:29:03,360
job because you've

519
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,380
been deplatformed and

520
00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:05,720
your employer sees that

521
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,520
as a red flag,

522
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:08,000
that's where it goes

523
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,200
way beyond politics.

524
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,500
You can't just build

525
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:11,600
your own social media

526
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,920
company, you can't

527
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,180
just start your own

528
00:29:14,180 --> 00:29:14,640
bank.

529
00:29:15,460 --> 00:29:16,380
They're not doing what

530
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:17,220
they like, they're being

531
00:29:17,220 --> 00:29:18,140
pressured into doing it.

532
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,260
You can see that.

533
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,520
In fact, every single

534
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,580
one of my videos that

535
00:29:21,580 --> 00:29:23,080
the government were

536
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,360
attempting to put

537
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,120
pressure on the CEO

538
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:25,980
of YouTube, none of

539
00:29:25,980 --> 00:29:26,740
them breached any laws

540
00:29:26,740 --> 00:29:27,160
or rules.

541
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:29,380
That's the problem,

542
00:29:29,780 --> 00:29:31,860
is that even I was

543
00:29:31,860 --> 00:29:32,540
removed from Twitter

544
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:33,900
for stating a fact,

545
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,320
a complete fact,

546
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,480
that our home secretary,

547
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,200
Sajid Javnit,

548
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,100
states the same fact.

549
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,440
It is a statement of

550
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,660
fact, a fact that both

551
00:29:42,660 --> 00:29:44,480
saddens and angers me

552
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,400
that most of the men in

553
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,940
recent high-profile gang

554
00:29:47,940 --> 00:29:49,280
convictions have had

555
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,800
Pakistani heritage.

556
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,620
Why was I removed?

557
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,280
It doesn't breach any

558
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,560
hate speech laws or rules.

559
00:29:55,180 --> 00:29:55,900
It's just used as an

560
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:57,460
excuse to censor what

561
00:29:57,460 --> 00:29:57,880
we're saying.

562
00:29:58,420 --> 00:29:59,640
The point I make over

563
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,320
and over again, why

564
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,900
they're so terrified of

565
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:03,260
somebody like PewDiePie,

566
00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:04,640
who isn't really political

567
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,580
at all, he's got a fake

568
00:30:06,580 --> 00:30:08,280
news persona who has a

569
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,060
news show which gets

570
00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:11,700
double or triple the

571
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:13,520
amount of views that a

572
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,880
Sean Hannity or a

573
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,940
Rachel Maddow will on

574
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:18,460
MSNBC or any of those

575
00:30:18,460 --> 00:30:18,880
programs.

576
00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:19,720
Obviously, he's not

577
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,640
overtly political.

578
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,960
I'm Poppy Harlow, and you're

579
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,980
watching Pew News, the most

580
00:30:24,980 --> 00:30:27,760
news news site of all time.

581
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:34,120
J.K. Rowling called me a

582
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:34,580
fascist.

583
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,860
I don't...

584
00:30:35,860 --> 00:30:36,200
Why?

585
00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:37,180
I don't...

586
00:30:37,180 --> 00:30:39,080
I guess she read it on a...

587
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,620
She read it off a headline.

588
00:30:41,620 --> 00:30:43,340
I think the biggest threat to

589
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:45,000
what I do now is not

590
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,540
necessarily de-platforming.

591
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,800
It's algorithmic manipulation.

592
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:51,160
And this is what Shane Dawson

593
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,400
had recently.

594
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,640
He came out with a big

595
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:54,960
documentary called

596
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,260
Conspiracy Theories with

597
00:30:56,260 --> 00:30:57,020
Shane Dawson.

598
00:30:57,820 --> 00:30:59,880
These results are not

599
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:00,540
fanciful.

600
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,040
Now, BuzzFeed, a few weeks

601
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,080
prior to this, published an

602
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,700
article where they went to

603
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,480
YouTube and said, why have

604
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,620
you not relegated conspiracy

605
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,180
theories in your algorithm?

606
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,700
Now, bearing in mind, this

607
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:16,040
documentary by Shane Dawson,

608
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:16,900
who has 20 million

609
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:17,880
subscribers, one of the

610
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,400
biggest personalities on

611
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,720
YouTube, was a fun little

612
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,900
insight into conspiracy

613
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:23,320
theories.

614
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,660
It wasn't a dark, you know,

615
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,340
investigation of really

616
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:28,440
controversial stuff.

617
00:31:28,540 --> 00:31:29,080
It was very...

618
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:29,620
It was fun.

619
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:30,460
It was frivolous.

620
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:33,400
There's a theory that if

621
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,420
somebody at Chuck E. Cheese's

622
00:31:35,420 --> 00:31:36,800
doesn't finish their whole

623
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,600
pizza, the employee will take

624
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,520
those pieces off the tray and

625
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,000
form a new pizza and then

626
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,540
reheat it and serve it to a new

627
00:31:45,540 --> 00:31:45,820
customer.

628
00:31:46,220 --> 00:31:47,500
Nobody's talking about it.

629
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,840
He puts out this documentary

630
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,640
documentary and because YouTube

631
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,400
has caved into BuzzFeed a few

632
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,600
days later by removing

633
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,720
conspiracy theory content from

634
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,620
recommended videos, which is

635
00:31:59,620 --> 00:32:00,640
where you get half of your

636
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,660
views on YouTube, for hours,

637
00:32:02,860 --> 00:32:04,000
this big Shane Dawson

638
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,480
documentary lost out on ad

639
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,680
revenue to the tune of tens of

640
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,880
thousands of dollars in the

641
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,580
first few hours.

642
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,040
One of the largest YouTubers on

643
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:12,880
the platform who's going to

644
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,980
release a video that is expected

645
00:32:13,980 --> 00:32:16,200
to hit at least 10 million views

646
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,320
by the end of the week.

647
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,400
It's highly anticipated.

648
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,580
Even he has this problem.

649
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:22,700
No one has seen.

650
00:32:22,780 --> 00:32:25,360
Now that it's impacting bigger

651
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,720
creators who aren't even

652
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,660
political, now they're starting

653
00:32:28,660 --> 00:32:29,380
to freak out.

654
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,580
They're starting to sound the

655
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:30,920
alarm.

656
00:32:33,740 --> 00:32:36,580
YouTube doesn't do enough to

657
00:32:36,580 --> 00:32:37,800
support their community.

658
00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:39,080
And then this morning I look at

659
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:39,980
my...

660
00:32:39,980 --> 00:32:42,280
I look at the creator app here

661
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,480
and I saw that this travel

662
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,740
vlog, which is the most

663
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:47,640
innocuous vlog ever, it's

664
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,900
literally me going to

665
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:51,000
Indonesia to sit down with

666
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,540
the president of Indonesia

667
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:54,300
was demonetized, so they

668
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:55,100
should do a better job

669
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:55,740
looking after their

670
00:32:55,740 --> 00:32:56,120
community.

671
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,400
The point is, BuzzFeed can

672
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,340
write an article, go to

673
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:02,180
YouTube, and a few days later,

674
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,000
I think even 24 hours later,

675
00:33:04,380 --> 00:33:05,880
they say, yes, you're right,

676
00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:07,560
this is dangerous content.

677
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:08,900
Despite the fact that YouTube

678
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:11,180
was basically built by

679
00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:12,260
weirdos talking about

680
00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:13,520
conspiracy theories back

681
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,720
12, 13, 14 years ago, it

682
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,560
was the place for the

683
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,760
obscure and the bizarre.

684
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,400
Jimmy Kimmel and

685
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,300
mass shooting in Las Vegas,

686
00:33:19,780 --> 00:33:20,920
GMC ad.

687
00:33:21,020 --> 00:33:22,120
Here's an ad for the new

688
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,420
Blade Runner movie, and

689
00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:24,820
it's number one on trending.

690
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:26,500
So they not only made the

691
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:27,520
conscious decision to put

692
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,800
ads on this video in

693
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,000
contradiction of their own

694
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,020
statement, they've also

695
00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:32,460
decided to trend it number

696
00:33:32,460 --> 00:33:32,700
one.

697
00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:34,120
This is called selective

698
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:34,740
enforcement.

699
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,040
When you use that

700
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,600
broadness to enforce a

701
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,260
certain ideology, that's

702
00:33:39,260 --> 00:33:39,800
censorship.

703
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,940
We're talking about YouTube,

704
00:33:40,940 --> 00:33:42,800
the second biggest search

705
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,100
engine in the world, owned

706
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:45,060
by Google, obviously.

707
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:47,040
They've broken their own

708
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,600
algorithm, their own search

709
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,180
engine, to favor the

710
00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:51,700
mainstream media to the

711
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:53,060
point where now you type in

712
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:54,860
Hillary Clinton or Michelle

713
00:33:54,860 --> 00:33:56,320
Obama or whatever, and any

714
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,260
independent video created by

715
00:33:58,260 --> 00:33:59,180
an independent content

716
00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:00,560
creator, even if it has

717
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,680
millions of views, is buried

718
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,500
beneath a wall of mainstream

719
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:06,360
media, which shows that they're

720
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,860
manipulating the algorithm.

721
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,060
And eventually that is going

722
00:34:10,060 --> 00:34:12,460
to cost people elections.

723
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:13,920
Here's a graph of the

724
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,400
newspaper ad revenue from

725
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,020
digital and print, showing

726
00:34:17,020 --> 00:34:19,020
decrees of revenue in the

727
00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:19,520
media.

728
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:20,060
Oh, okay.

729
00:34:20,060 --> 00:34:21,720
So Wall Street is losing

730
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,920
influence and income.

731
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,320
Hmm.

732
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,660
I wonder who's gaining that

733
00:34:26,660 --> 00:34:27,200
right now.

734
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,900
The only way they can draw ad

735
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,800
revenue is through rage bait,

736
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,860
is through attacking popular

737
00:34:32,860 --> 00:34:34,360
people with huge audiences,

738
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,900
which is what we saw with

739
00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:36,960
PewDiePie and the Wall

740
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,760
Street Journal, and in many

741
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,000
other cases after that.

742
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:45,300
So, all right, so for me

743
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:46,500
personally, getting kicked off

744
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:48,360
of YouTube and having all of

745
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,380
our work torn down from that

746
00:34:50,380 --> 00:34:51,520
site was really, like,

747
00:34:51,740 --> 00:34:53,520
upsetting and brutal because,

748
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,760
you know, I'd worked here for

749
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,180
a little less than two years

750
00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:58,540
at that point, and it really

751
00:34:58,540 --> 00:34:59,700
felt like they just ripped away

752
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:01,800
two years of your life and

753
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,240
stole just, you know, millions

754
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:04,440
of views, a lot of stuff that I

755
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,580
was really proud of, and a lot

756
00:35:05,580 --> 00:35:06,240
of, you know, going through the

757
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,180
comments and seeing what people

758
00:35:07,180 --> 00:35:08,840
were saying, it really felt like

759
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,080
they just, like, ripped a chunk

760
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,780
of your heart out when they do

761
00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:13,200
that to you.

762
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,700
Every single day, I wake up,

763
00:35:15,740 --> 00:35:16,940
the first thing I do before I

764
00:35:16,940 --> 00:35:18,380
talk to anyone, before I turn on

765
00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:20,640
my phone, is go on my YouTube

766
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,940
channel and make sure it's still

767
00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:22,240
there.

768
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,880
Go on my Twitter account, make

769
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,340
sure it's still there, to the

770
00:35:26,340 --> 00:35:28,600
point mentally where, before I even

771
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,600
check the news or interact with the

772
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,160
world in any way, I check if my

773
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,340
YouTube channel is still there.

774
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:37,020
I do that every day now.

775
00:35:37,380 --> 00:35:38,320
Yeah, it's exhausting.

776
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,060
You know, this is not a lifestyle

777
00:35:41,060 --> 00:35:42,860
for people who are weak-minded.

778
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:44,960
I mean, I'll be completely honest.

779
00:35:45,980 --> 00:35:48,900
When I got banned from Twitter and I

780
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:51,880
lost my 265,000 followers and I

781
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,900
got banned from GoFundMe, I got

782
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:56,680
banned from Facebook, I didn't just

783
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,480
get depressed, I felt straight up

784
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,280
suicidal, you know?

785
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,800
I mean, when you are in this

786
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,100
industry and you lose your income,

787
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,160
you're completely dependent on

788
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,900
social media to pay your bills,

789
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:12,400
you have no way to, you know,

790
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:14,760
counter the smears and the lies

791
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,440
that the fake news media post about

792
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,300
you, you get death threats, you're,

793
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,360
you have, you know, individuals in

794
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,240
mainstream media who you used to

795
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,760
admire mocking you, people on your

796
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,280
side, who you would expect to defend

797
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680
you aren't defending you, you feel

798
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,960
demoralized, right?

799
00:36:33,020 --> 00:36:34,500
I mean, in this day and age, it's not

800
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:35,900
as simple as, oh, well, I'm going to

801
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:37,120
quit Twitter and I'm going to go work

802
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:37,800
in the real world.

803
00:36:38,020 --> 00:36:39,060
Where am I going to work?

804
00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:40,780
Who's going to hire me, right?

805
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,900
I mean, I can't go into the real

806
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:46,680
world and just get a regular job now

807
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,400
that I'm banned on Twitter, right?

808
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,260
I can't, I can't do that because the

809
00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:53,280
left has, you know, created this

810
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,880
narrative that I'm a Nazi, that I'm a

811
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,240
white supremacist and anybody in the

812
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,040
real world, if I were to say, I don't

813
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,740
want to be Laura Loomer, the

814
00:37:00,740 --> 00:37:02,160
conservative journalist, I want to be

815
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,740
Laura Loomer, a regular person, I could

816
00:37:03,740 --> 00:37:07,040
not live in regular society because the

817
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,640
left has depersoned me the same way

818
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,160
that they have depersoned Alex Jones and

819
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,000
Roger Stone and Milo Yiannopoulos and

820
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,740
many others, right?

821
00:37:14,740 --> 00:37:16,420
And it's depressing.

822
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,400
It makes you want to kill yourself.

823
00:37:19,260 --> 00:37:19,920
We were winning.

824
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,160
We're losing.

825
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:24,740
We were winning.

826
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,120
Antifa was over.

827
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,740
The culture wars had been won.

828
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:29,920
It was time to gloat.

829
00:37:30,740 --> 00:37:32,760
We were making meme, we were winning the

830
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:33,280
meme war.

831
00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:34,100
Everyone was laughing.

832
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:39,180
And then you get depersoned to the

833
00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:41,020
point where you don't exist.

834
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:42,900
Like Laura Loomer had to leave New York.

835
00:37:43,580 --> 00:37:45,360
She's living in a place I don't think I

836
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,300
can even say, across from a police

837
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:48,820
station so they can get there fast.

838
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,660
Stephen Crowder's had to move many

839
00:37:51,660 --> 00:37:52,220
times.

840
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,180
Dana Lash has had to move.

841
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,020
And when these people move, they don't

842
00:37:56,020 --> 00:37:57,100
make it a slow decision.

843
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:58,660
They have to pack up in the middle of the

844
00:37:58,660 --> 00:37:58,860
night.

845
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:00,400
I'm going to have to move.

846
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,480
Tommy Robinson has to move.

847
00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:08,240
And he has done so several times.

848
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:12,860
I think that very soon, at a time soon, then the

849
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:16,640
relocation of my family will be needed.

850
00:38:17,740 --> 00:38:19,200
Probably to another country.

851
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:20,620
I think that time's coming.

852
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:28,180
Because essentially, they're there.

853
00:38:28,180 --> 00:38:31,400
They're the thoughts I've had to have.

854
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:32,820
They're the discussions I've had to have.

855
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:34,500
Is it safe?

856
00:38:34,580 --> 00:38:35,080
No, it's not.

857
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,220
Is it safe even from the government?

858
00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:37,960
No, it's not.

859
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,960
It's not like we're just worrying about

860
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,040
terrorists coming and kill us.

861
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:44,100
In fact, my biggest fear is what the

862
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:44,960
establishment are going to do.

863
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,460
And the reality is, I have three young

864
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:48,360
children and a wife.

865
00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:51,300
It's not just me who's at risk.

866
00:38:51,300 --> 00:39:02,780
Part of me, the selfish part, wishes I'd never met

867
00:39:02,780 --> 00:39:03,360
Donald Trump.

868
00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:04,800
It's a fantastic business.

869
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,540
I don't know if you can see that thing right up there.

870
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:06,760
We can.

871
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:08,660
But it's doing great business.

872
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:10,700
I hope your audience goes out and buys it as

873
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:12,080
Christmas gifts and everything else.

874
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:14,620
And I just want to finish by saying your reputation's

875
00:39:14,620 --> 00:39:15,040
amazing.

876
00:39:15,540 --> 00:39:17,000
I will not let you down.

877
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:20,080
You will be very, very impressed, I hope.

878
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,040
And I think we'll be speaking a lot.

879
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:29,200
Being sucked into that whole vortex has, it was like

880
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:29,960
selling your soul.

881
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,700
Everything I did and everything I was and everything I was

882
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:39,660
trying to do at that point didn't matter how diverse it was.

883
00:39:39,740 --> 00:39:42,660
It didn't matter how it was multifaceted.

884
00:39:42,820 --> 00:39:44,980
It all became that at that point.

885
00:39:44,980 --> 00:39:49,640
So Trump came to get my populist audience and then he did that.

886
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:50,800
The Democrats saw it as a threat.

887
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:53,440
They attacked it and said that I was Donald Trump thinking that

888
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:53,820
would hurt him.

889
00:39:53,980 --> 00:39:55,080
It made Trump stronger.

890
00:39:55,180 --> 00:39:56,060
It made him win the election.

891
00:39:56,060 --> 00:40:04,400
And so they understand that Donald Trump is InfoWars and that I'm Donald Trump now.

892
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,080
And it's like a ring of doom.

893
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,700
We've been merged together into this thing and they're obsessed with it.

894
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:20,320
If I'd had a target on my back before, when I signed on to promote America's resurgence,

895
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:26,580
to promote Donald Trump, all the attacks I'd been through before were like bootcamp.

896
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,300
This was the real battle.

897
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,200
And that's when it got crazy.

898
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,140
The future definitely worries me.

899
00:40:32,620 --> 00:40:36,980
I mean, I'm 25 years old and the left has already, you know, tried to demoralize me.

900
00:40:37,460 --> 00:40:39,040
They have taken away my voice.

901
00:40:39,140 --> 00:40:40,320
They've taken away my platform.

902
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,440
They're trying to get me banned from making an income.

903
00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:49,300
I mean, I may be trending and I may be making a lot of waves and getting a lot of news coverage,

904
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:52,860
but there are days when I wonder to myself, am I ever going to be able to have a normal

905
00:40:52,860 --> 00:40:53,300
family?

906
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,400
You know, am I going to be able to pay my rent?

907
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:01,140
Are banks soon going to be telling me that I can't have a bank account because of my views,

908
00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:01,600
right?

909
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,780
Am I going to be able to live in America?

910
00:41:04,780 --> 00:41:10,100
If we don't fight back and if we don't do something soon, I'm worried that we may fall.

911
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:12,060
We may lose what makes this country great.

912
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:15,320
And that is the fact that we have free speech, right?

913
00:41:15,340 --> 00:41:16,300
We have the First Amendment.

914
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,760
That is what makes this country, the United States of America, the greatest country in

915
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:22,140
the world.

916
00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:26,120
And currently, before our eyes, it's all slipping away.

917
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:39,600
So what's my day now?

918
00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:46,400
My day now is working out, getting on the phone, going on nature hikes, and watching

919
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,160
Tucker Carlson on Fox.

920
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:57,400
It's funny when you've sort of been made into a pariah, you have to start your life anew

921
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,160
and reboot.

922
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,020
Yeah, so this is my life now.

923
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,160
I mean, I lost my job.

924
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,840
I lost my social media platforms.

925
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,640
I lost my vocation, in a sense.

926
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,760
But I guess my future is lawfare.

927
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:21,840
Yeah, definitely, the SPLC has definitely successfully made me into a pariah.

928
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,420
And my neighbors think that they're living next to David Duke.

929
00:42:26,420 --> 00:42:37,900
And that's the incredible power of the narrative, where they can come up with a concept and say,

930
00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:41,140
this guy's evil, that guy's evil, and it works.

931
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,140
So that's the life of a de-platformed man.

932
00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:48,580
You know, my wife suffers.

933
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,820
She doesn't want confrontation.

934
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,700
My kids suffer.

935
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:56,400
They don't want to be socially ostracized.

936
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,360
But do I ever regret any of it, even for a second?

937
00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:03,400
That's a great question.

938
00:43:04,460 --> 00:43:05,460
And I wonder about that.

939
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:14,320
Like with Vice, those guys confronted me about some of my more controversial statements.

940
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:23,720
And I think Shane even, we were at a bar one night, and I think he wanted to work it out.

941
00:43:24,460 --> 00:43:29,840
And I was so mad that he questioned my loyalty, especially because we grew up together,

942
00:43:30,460 --> 00:43:32,440
that I just thought, fuck you.

943
00:43:32,940 --> 00:43:35,380
And I didn't reconcile with him.

944
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,880
And that might have been a bad move.

945
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:44,460
Or with Rooster, the ad agency, they said, what are we going to do?

946
00:43:44,620 --> 00:43:47,740
Can we just say, we're putting you on temporary leave?

947
00:43:48,620 --> 00:43:50,660
And I said, yeah, whatever works.

948
00:43:50,900 --> 00:43:52,260
I mean, if that makes you feel better.

949
00:43:52,780 --> 00:43:55,140
And maybe I should have said, no, dude.

950
00:43:55,780 --> 00:43:57,700
Don't put me on temporary leave.

951
00:43:57,780 --> 00:43:59,180
It shows you don't support me.

952
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,520
And I didn't do anything wrong.

953
00:44:02,580 --> 00:44:03,740
But I didn't do that.

954
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:04,700
I just said, go ahead.

955
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:09,840
Anyway, this is, it's fucking two in the morning.

956
00:44:10,580 --> 00:44:15,460
You're in my salon, where I like to drink, make us a match, Tucker.

957
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,060
And I'm usually drunk at this time of night.

958
00:44:18,140 --> 00:44:21,700
So you're not really getting the most astute observations.

959
00:44:23,620 --> 00:44:25,620
And that's kind of where we're at now.

960
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:33,460
But really, at the end of the day, it's just about fighting.

961
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:39,840
And if you're not fighting, you're acquiescing.

962
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,980
And you're acquiescing into someone else's narrative, someone else's story.

963
00:44:43,980 --> 00:45:00,740
With InfoWars, as you know, it was a coordinated thing between Tim Cook and Zuckerberg, where they both personally made the decision to can Alex Jones.

964
00:45:00,740 --> 00:45:02,440
And the left celebrated.

965
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:20,180
There was an uproar of applause and cheers, which is quite ironic, because they're celebrating giving billionaires and big corporations the power to decide who has free speech and who doesn't, to decide what you can read on the internet and what you can't read.

966
00:45:20,180 --> 00:45:26,380
The left always used to be against concentration of power within corporate hands.

967
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,260
Now, apparently, as long as they're censoring the right people, that's completely fine.

968
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,640
And they'll not only accept it, they'll celebrate it.

969
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,540
Could come the day where it happens to them.

970
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:43,060
And we've had a lot of left-wing Facebook pages like anti-police brutality, anti-war pages banned by Facebook.

971
00:45:43,060 --> 00:45:49,020
But the blowback has been nowhere near the extent to how the right has been deplatformed.

972
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:58,400
To have the establishment misrepresent who you are, create a straw man to then ban you and then take you down, I don't see that as a position of strength.

973
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,920
I see that as a real position of weakness.

974
00:46:01,380 --> 00:46:03,280
And I think it's going to backfire.

975
00:46:04,100 --> 00:46:06,460
Because most people don't do this one time.

976
00:46:06,460 --> 00:46:20,940
And in the final equation, InfoWars and what I've done has already, we have changed the course of human destiny in a big way.

977
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:26,540
And so if I did one of those things in my life, I would feel fulfilled.

978
00:46:26,940 --> 00:46:29,640
Like I had really done what I was supposed to do.

979
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,280
So I intend to continue on.

980
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,480
I continue to try to change the world.

981
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:43,960
But my dream is to be able to stop what I'm doing in the next five years or so.

982
00:46:44,780 --> 00:46:46,480
Because you can't do this forever.

983
00:46:47,500 --> 00:46:48,420
The future is.

984
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,060
We will all be deleted.

985
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:50,960
That's the future.

986
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,240
I feel like I'm still in the moment, almost.

987
00:46:53,460 --> 00:46:56,880
I feel like I've been in the moment for like a year now, really.

988
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,360
It's just resistance is victory.

989
00:47:01,140 --> 00:47:02,120
Resistance is victory.

990
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:07,260
And no matter what happens, if we give up, then that's a loss.

991
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:09,620
So as long as we keep fighting, we'll keep having victory.

992
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:18,040
Who knows if Facebook and Twitter and everything will ever actually, you know, open up their platform for free speech and to let conservatives back on.

993
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:22,940
Or who knows in five years watching this documentary or ten years, you asked me that question.

994
00:47:23,020 --> 00:47:25,140
People are like, well, what's social media, right?

995
00:47:25,140 --> 00:47:27,800
So who knows if it's even relevant in ten years from now?

996
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:37,040
The problem with all of this censorship, and I could argue it's fascism, religious puritanism, because we're really going back in time.

997
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:38,820
We're going back to Victorian England.

998
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,040
And the left is Queen Victoria, and she's not amused.

999
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,700
And the problem with that is you'll be the first to go, guys.

1000
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:52,260
I've got hope because Generation Z is generally quite conservative.

1001
00:47:52,540 --> 00:47:55,260
They are more pro-free speech generally.

1002
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:59,780
They're sick of being told what they can and can't say, what they can and can't read.

1003
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,960
Obviously, it's in their DNA to rebel against that as young people.

1004
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:05,480
So, yeah, they delete me off Twitter.

1005
00:48:06,140 --> 00:48:07,940
My name still trends on Twitter regularly.

1006
00:48:08,580 --> 00:48:15,080
Obviously, I don't get the same opportunity to give a counter-argument to the people who are there slandering and lying about me, which is what their intention is.

1007
00:48:15,820 --> 00:48:17,920
But the public also see that.

1008
00:48:18,220 --> 00:48:19,000
They see the censory.

1009
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,240
They don't like it.

1010
00:48:20,820 --> 00:48:24,860
So, yeah, you could say it's making our job harder to reach the people.

1011
00:48:25,580 --> 00:48:27,920
But people want to hear us more because of that.

1012
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:37,680
A lot of people in their very early 20s, most of the messages I get on Twitter and places like that are from very young people who are my fans, who are supporting me.

1013
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,980
So there is a very young audience out there.

1014
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:49,280
And I think that Alex Jones, despite what people may think of him, right, I personally love him, he really is a pioneer for this movement because he warned of all of these things.

1015
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,720
Many years ago, he warned that this would be taking place, right?

1016
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,480
He warned that these social media companies would become too powerful.

1017
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:11,880
And I really do believe that Alex Jones is going to be, you know, the pioneer or, you know, one of the leading individuals who comes up with a solution for, you know, for conservatives or people who are victims of social media censorship.

1018
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:16,160
And I think that, you know, we're going to be seeing a lot of Alex Jones.

1019
00:49:16,380 --> 00:49:21,160
I don't think that the left is going to be successful in silencing Alex Jones, right?

1020
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,200
Because his whole thing is there is an info war.

1021
00:49:24,380 --> 00:49:33,640
And by banning, by banning Alex Jones from the Internet, the left just reaffirms his, you know, his entire, his entire argument.

1022
00:49:33,780 --> 00:49:35,280
There is an information war.

1023
00:49:35,620 --> 00:49:38,040
And it just makes people want him more, right?

1024
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:45,100
When you ban, when you ban something or you tell people you can't watch this, you can't hear this, you can't see this, this is bad.

1025
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,340
It makes people want it more.

1026
00:49:47,340 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaking of that, it's Sunday.

1027
00:49:49,620 --> 00:49:50,360
It's my Sunday show.

1028
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,420
I've got to go live in a few minutes, so I've got to go.

1029
00:50:03,340 --> 00:50:05,440
The public enemy number one.

1030
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:25,640
I've got to go live in a few minutes, so I can't share it.

1031
