FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

it's time to talk censorship it's time

0:02

to talk Twitter files Donald Trump the

0:05

FBI and Hunter Biden note my goal in

0:08

this video is going to be to be as

0:10

unbiased as possible however I will be

0:13

introducing my own personal experience

0:15

having run a campaign for governor

0:18

getting almost 1 million votes in

0:20

California against a governor whom I

0:22

think is terrible for California so when

0:24

it comes to bias let me be clear about

0:26

that I ran against the governor of

0:28

California whom I think is terrible for

0:30

California and if he runs for president

0:32

I'll be making a lot of videos about how

0:34

terrible he would be for America but in

0:37

this video we're going to remain as

0:39

unbiased as possible about the Twitter

0:41

files so without further Ado let's start

0:44

with the latest and greatest the latest

0:46

and greatest starts here it has to do

0:49

with actually a little bit more

0:50

background information and that's why I

0:52

want to start here it has to do with the

0:54

New York Post alleging that the FBI

0:57

repeatedly warned Twitter during weekly

0:59

meeting things before the 2020 election

1:02

to expect hack and leak operations in

1:06

other words putting Twitter on notice to

1:09

be aware that there could be some

1:11

damning posts about politicians and that

1:14

they should essentially potentially be

1:16

prepared to remove those sorts of posts

1:19

demonetize or Shadow ban those posts in

1:23

accordance with hacked material policies

1:26

and lo and behold when the hunter

1:30

Biden's story broke sure enough it was

1:33

removed from Twitter accounts who talked

1:36

about it were censored as will she see

1:38

in the Twitter files in just a moment

1:40

and Twitter did so under the belief that

1:43

they were following what they should be

1:45

doing the hacked in materials policy at

1:48

Twitter unfortunately leadership around

1:51

this policy was let's just say almost

1:53

entirely absent but what's also very

1:56

interesting is the allegation by the New

1:59

York Post that Not only was the FBI

2:02

warning Twitter about potential hack and

2:05

leak operations but it also put Facebook

2:08

on high alert for these sorts of Russian

2:11

propaganda dumps that could come which

2:14

apparently may have never actually come

2:17

but the FBI was clearly involved or at

2:21

least allegedly involved in telling

2:23

social media platforms to be prepared to

2:26

remove content that could be fake and

2:30

what's remarkable is according to the

2:32

New York Post here the FBI apparently

2:35

had access to emails between Rudy

2:39

Giuliani and the New York Post so

2:42

potentially and conveniently had access

2:45

to know when the New York Post would

2:48

publish the story about Hunter Biden's

2:51

laptop which they ended up doing in fact

2:53

this was the cover of the post right

2:55

here on October 14 2020 just three weeks

2:59

before the election there's the story

3:01

Biden secret emails

3:05

the FBI would have conveniently happened

3:08

to know when those posts were going to

3:10

go public because of their access to

3:13

giuliani's emails which they had access

3:16

to because of an investigation they were

3:18

conducting against Giuliani which ended

3:21

up getting dropped so that access to

3:24

giuliani's one away or emails went away

3:26

but they conveniently had access to his

3:27

emails right before the post story

3:29

dropped which gave them the potential

3:32

ability to warn Facebook and other news

3:35

organizations and Twitter about this

3:38

hack and leak operation and a lot of

3:40

folks of course have been concerned that

3:42

the FBI has become politicized as of

3:45

late a lot of folks who are looking

3:48

forward to the investigation of Donald

3:50

Trump saying no that's fake news the FBI

3:52

is not politicized of course then there

3:54

are the other half of Americans who say

3:56

oh no it's all politically driven okay

3:59

let's leave that there as we may and

4:01

let's get into the Twitter files because

4:04

what we've just done is revealed that

4:06

the New York Post is alleging the FBI

4:08

warns social media platforms at the very

4:11

least and again allegedly that hey there

4:14

could be some leaks coming and

4:15

conveniently the FBI may have had access

4:17

to know that there were some leaks

4:19

coming

4:20

and maybe conveniently that happened

4:22

three weeks before an election where the

4:26

FBI was potentially able to help

4:28

contribute to molding the outcome of the

4:32

election

4:33

who knows some folks say the same thing

4:36

is actually potentially what happened to

4:38

Hillary Clinton when the story around

4:41

not what was in Hillary's Clinton's

4:43

emails but the fact that Hillary Clinton

4:45

used a private email server blew up to

4:48

the point of potentially destroying her

4:51

election chances

4:53

who knows maybe it all goes both ways

4:55

but what we want to do is take a look at

4:58

the Twitter files and then make some

5:00

conclusions and we'll also talk about

5:02

what Donald Trump had to say about all

5:04

of this we'll make some conclusions

5:06

which I think would solve all of this

5:08

because I don't think it's really a good

5:10

idea to speculate on who's right or

5:12

wrong in all of this although I think

5:14

there are arguments that some of it is

5:16

pretty dang obvious I think my

5:17

conclusions are conclusions that all of

5:20

us can agree on so let's briefly go

5:23

through the most Salient arguments made

5:26

and leaked or released I should say on

5:29

Twitter about the Twitter files so first

5:32

Twitter has a hacked materials rule

5:35

where basically if there's hacked

5:37

materials they say they will remove it

5:39

and I'm speeding this up okay

5:42

however in addition to having a hacked

5:44

materials rule Twitter is also able to

5:47

delete tweets routinely upon the

5:51

requests of certain individuals so for

5:54

example a political party could send an

5:58

email to certain contacts at Twitter and

6:00

say hey we think these violate your

6:02

terms of service we think these tweets

6:05

are either hateful or misinformation or

6:07

disinformation or they're a lie or

6:09

they're liable or or they're hacked or

6:11

whatever they violate some form of

6:13

policy and the Biden team in this

6:15

example here sent on October 24th the

6:17

Biden team is asking you to potentially

6:19

remove these five tweets here here are

6:22

the links and the response is as simple

6:25

as handled

6:28

which is kind of scary kind of scary

6:30

that a political party could say hey you

6:31

know what we want these tweets removed

6:33

and Twitter would just reply handled

6:37

I would actually like to take a moment

6:39

to just talk about my own post

6:42

this this is a post that I made when I

6:45

announced my candidacy for governor

6:48

running against Governor Gavin Newsom in

6:50

California it was by far the most

6:53

popular post that I have ever made

6:55

and I wrote I'm not effing leaving I'm

6:57

running instead and it's true I haven't

6:59

left California I'm not leaving

7:00

California

7:02

but I talked about how we have to beat

7:04

Gavin news someone I have a full 20-part

7:06

plan that includes emergency action to

7:08

solve homelessness housing

7:09

Transportation schooling and more we

7:11

need a non-weenie baby in office

7:13

and this post

7:17

was censored by Facebook and deleted by

7:20

Facebook under their harassment policy

7:24

I'm like seriously my announcement post

7:28

which was at that point essentially

7:30

going viral

7:32

just happened to get deleted even though

7:34

I've never had a post deleted before and

7:36

nothing I said here is really harassing

7:39

for a public figure I mean come on folks

7:42

that's ridiculous and so now it makes me

7:45

think aha

7:46

I would love to know

7:49

if there is a paper trail of an email

7:52

from the Gavin Newsom team saying

7:54

something like more from the Newsome

7:56

team please remove this post from Kevin

7:58

pavrath boy wouldn't that have been a

8:01

potential Game Changer during my

8:04

election would it not have been possible

8:07

that that would have been ammunition

8:09

enough to show Tech censorship controls

8:12

elections and keeps dirty politicians in

8:15

office when they should not remain in

8:17

office and that they quell competition

8:22

keep in mind and and this this is

8:24

anecdotal but after the election I sat

8:28

down with people who were on air on TV

8:32

in California on California news

8:35

stations I sat down with them for coffee

8:37

privately and off the Record that's why

8:39

I will mention no names or stations and

8:42

I was privately told

8:44

Kevin you have to understand we could be

8:46

staring into a teleprompter and reading

8:49

something that we know is untrue but we

8:52

have to do it because that's what we're

8:54

told to do otherwise we're fired

8:57

the reality is

8:59

these news companies have to do what

9:02

keeps the establishment politicians

9:04

happy because guess what happens when

9:06

you're the establishment politicians

9:08

aren't happy oh you didn't happen to get

9:11

an invite to come to our next event why

9:14

didn't you get an invite because you

9:16

didn't help censor the person we wanted

9:18

you to censor it's corrupt and it's

9:21

sturdy now it's anecdotal and my

9:23

Solutions in this video will address

9:26

that potential problem

9:28

well I should say more than potential

9:30

problem but let's be real here I'm

9:32

trying to be unbiased

9:34

this folks is exactly what I believe I

9:38

dealt with and I was personally on the

9:40

receiving end in my 2020 election

9:43

campaign against the governor of

9:45

California

9:46

this gave me a lot of light when I saw

9:49

this because it was an aha moment this

9:52

is probably exactly what happened to me

9:54

but let's move on celebrities and

9:57

unknowns alike could be removed or

10:00

reviewed at the behest of a political

10:02

party both parties had access to these

10:04

tools for example in 2020 requests from

10:06

both Trump and the Biden campaign were

10:08

received and honored however the system

10:11

wasn't balanced it was based on contacts

10:14

because Twitter wasn't is overwhelmingly

10:16

staffed by people of one political

10:18

orientation of Democrats they were there

10:21

were more channels more ways to complain

10:23

open to the left well Democrats than the

10:27

right

10:28

and that's because of look at the

10:30

contributions by political party

10:32

recipient

10:34

now I want to be clear my political

10:36

orientation is very much in the middle I

10:39

ran as I actually ran in California as a

10:41

JFK style Democrat which is much more

10:43

conservative than today's style Democrat

10:45

I considered myself a 59 51-49 right

10:49

like 51 uh percent Dem 49 Republican uh

10:54

maybe maybe today that's slightly flip

10:56

but I'm really I really consider myself

10:58

in the middle of a bell curve and and I

11:00

know that's like you know that's going

11:02

to piss some people off people you go

11:03

well you didn't know you had a damn I

11:06

was like chill out okay try I I try to

11:09

be in the Middle with everything but

11:11

this stuff is embarrassing right like to

11:13

be associated with this is disgusting

11:15

look at this and I remember I was the

11:17

victim of this stuff contributions by

11:20

party of recipient 99 Democrats

11:25

zero to three percent Republicans it's

11:27

terrible this is absolutely disgusting

11:29

and my Solutions will address this we do

11:32

get a big jump uh from like 12 and it's

11:34

we skip like 13 14 15. uh and and I'm

11:37

gonna jump around because some of these

11:38

aren't that important

11:40

we do have a uh a New York Times article

11:42

that I like to bring up because the New

11:44

York Times was really active and also

11:46

suppressing the story they finally

11:49

nearly two years later referenced the

11:52

hunter Biden story and they linked to a

11:55

story that they had actually buried in

11:58

the newspaper back from October 2020 but

12:01

this piece right here was a 2022 I think

12:04

it was March 2022 piece from The New

12:07

York Times and they referenced the

12:09

hunter Biden laptop which they had

12:11

previously refused to do and so a lot of

12:14

folks saw this as tacit admission that

12:16

the New York Times was complicit and

12:18

also censoring the New York or the uh

12:20

newer post story on the hunter Biden

12:22

laptop

12:23

but there are comments here about how

12:25

Twitter took extraordinary steps to

12:27

suppress the story Kaylee mcineny was

12:30

locked out it sounds like there was a

12:32

lot of dissension apparently a lot of

12:34

this happened without the knowledge of

12:35

the CEO Jack Dorsey and not only did it

12:37

happen without the knowledge of the CEO

12:40

but a lot of it was just freelanced and

12:43

really what happened was once one person

12:45

made the decision a lot of the other

12:46

more left-leaning individuals at Twitter

12:49

just aligned with the previous decisions

12:53

of other Freelancers and said you know

12:55

what we'll just stick with that decision

12:56

and we'll just keep censoring the story

12:58

unfortunately the idea about there being

13:02

Russian disinformation even according to

13:04

the New York Times seemed to have not

13:06

been an issue despite the fact that the

13:08

FBI was warning about Russian

13:09

disinformation happening that was from

13:11

the New York Times by the way in 2020

13:13

suggesting no evidence of Russian

13:15

disinformation

13:16

by this point everyone knew this was all

13:18

just messed up says one former employee

13:20

and they were kind of just stuck into

13:21

the cycle rokana who's a democrat in my

13:24

opinion actually did a phenomenal job in

13:27

arguing here that this seems to be a

13:30

violation of the First Amendment if

13:31

there is hacked and classified

13:33

information or other information that

13:34

could expose a serious War crime and the

13:37

New York Times was to publish it I think

13:38

the New York Times should have the right

13:40

to do that a journalist should not be

13:42

held accountable for the illegal actions

13:43

of the source unless they actively aided

13:45

the Hacked so to restrict the

13:47

distribution of that material

13:48

specifically regarding a presidential

13:50

candidate seems not in keeping of the

13:51

interest of the people now this is

13:54

actually really important because

13:55

there's something known as journalistic

13:56

privilege so for example if you knew

13:58

something Shady was going on and you

14:00

sent it to me and then I reported on it

14:03

as a journalist I can't be held legally

14:05

accountable for disseminating that

14:07

information because I didn't take part

14:09

in collecting the information

14:10

potentially illegally but if it has

14:12

damning effects I'm allowed to share it

14:14

as a journalist right that's journalists

14:16

stick privilege that's very very

14:18

important and that's really what rokana

14:19

is talking about here and he also talks

14:21

about issues regarding section 230. okay

14:24

let's give you a brief rundown of

14:26

section 230 because this is a big deal

14:27

and then it relates to some of the

14:29

solutions that I have for all of this so

14:31

section 230 just quick summary it's part

14:33

of the 1996 Communications decency act

14:35

basically it says that companies like

14:37

YouTube Twitter Yelp Amazon are not

14:39

responsible for the content their users

14:41

post they're just basically platforms

14:44

that enable other people to post

14:46

whatever they want and as a platform the

14:49

platform should be immune from the

14:51

actions of the users they host it's

14:54

basically a liability protection for the

14:56

platform saying look the users are the

14:58

ones who should be liable if they say

14:59

bad things wrong things or if they do

15:01

things that are illegal the user should

15:03

be liable not the platform now this

15:05

makes sense to some degree but what

15:07

differentiates this is when somebody has

15:09

a control over what's said so for

15:12

example the New York Times has control

15:14

over what articles get published at the

15:17

newyorktimes.com this Hunter Biden

15:19

laptop story in the Twitter file story

15:21

was not really covered by ABC NBC CNN

15:26

briefly covered it right and Fox News

15:29

covered it like crazy that's a choice

15:31

that means those companies are not

15:33

platforms it means they're Publishers

15:35

they're choosing not to cover these

15:38

Twitter leaks and instead they're

15:40

choosing to cover something else like

15:42

the Donald Trump stuff right just like

15:43

Fox News might not cover uh you know

15:46

fraud allegations against uh or let me

15:49

clear that up just like Fox News might

15:51

not cover certain fraud allegations

15:52

against Trump and instead talk about the

15:54

Twitter files right that Choice doesn't

15:57

make you a platform it actually makes

15:59

you a publisher as soon as you have

16:02

Choice over what is said or posted you

16:05

become a publisher when you are a

16:07

publisher you are not immune from

16:10

liability now you have liability for

16:12

what you post the problem with Section

16:15

230 here is what happens when companies

16:17

like Twitter start going in and

16:19

demonetizing posts or removing the

16:22

ability for people to basically spread

16:25

their message right well then you start

16:27

like are you a platform or a publisher

16:29

you kind of start blurring that line and

16:31

that's the danger with Section 230.

16:33

Donald Trump made a big uh point about

16:36

trying to fight against section 230 and

16:39

remove section 230 suggesting that

16:41

platforms like Twitter who are censoring

16:44

his posts should be liable for their

16:47

actions right this became such an issue

16:50

that in 2020 we actually had a blow up

16:53

of Google potentially removing the

16:56

monetization ability of websites like

16:58

zerohedge and the Federalist both which

17:01

definitely lean right Zero Hedge at one

17:04

point was banned from Twitter and these

17:07

companies had been essentially

17:08

threatened to have their monetization

17:10

stripped from their websites for not

17:12

moderating the comments sections on

17:15

their websites now what's interesting

17:17

now is it seems like much of this has

17:19

blown over because if you go now to the

17:21

Zero Hedge comments the very first

17:23

article I kid you not the first article

17:25

I clicked on to look at the comments

17:27

section to see if they still had their

17:28

comment section on they do the very

17:30

first article and the very first comment

17:31

is from somebody named Kyle Rittenhouse

17:33

the Milf Hunter

17:35

okay and there are plenty of ads when

17:39

you turn off Adblock there are plenty of

17:41

ads in fact here is a Scientology ad

17:45

that plays on Zero Hedge and when you

17:47

click on why am I getting this ad you

17:49

get Google

17:50

about the advertiser Church of

17:52

Scientology International so clearly ads

17:55

are back on okay but but but what has

17:59

all of this led to this talk about

18:01

section 230 and these Twitter files well

18:05

it's led to calls from Donald Trump

18:07

posting on Truth social that basically

18:10

these Revelations from the Twitter files

18:13

show that there has been clear and

18:15

widespread election interference which

18:18

before we go deeper into Donald Trump

18:19

look at this during a live q a session

18:22

on Twitter Saturday afternoon musk said

18:24

if Twitter is doing one team's bidding

18:26

before an election shutting down

18:27

dissenting voices on a pivotal election

18:29

that is the very definition of election

18:32

interference frankly Twitter was acting

18:34

like an arm of the Democratic National

18:35

Committee it was absurd yeah no kidding

18:39

that is pretty much exactly what was

18:41

happening and this led Donald Trump to

18:43

suggest that the last election was

18:45

basically widespread fraud and deception

18:47

and therefore the Constitution should be

18:50

term terminated he basically called for

18:52

overthrowing the Constitution now this

18:54

this did not go very far with

18:57

Republicans uh in America this didn't go

19:00

very far with anyone other than really

19:01

hardcore Trump supporters uh but they

19:05

did something that Donald Trump called

19:06

for so

19:07

what do I think well here's what I think

19:10

the solution to all of this is and I

19:12

think I have

19:13

you know at least some personal impact

19:15

on this or or I am impacted personally

19:18

by it or had been or would have been

19:20

because of my political past and I'm not

19:22

a politician Iran is not a politician

19:24

people here I ran for governor and

19:26

they're like oh you're a politician I'm

19:27

like

19:28

what

19:30

that doesn't really make sense but

19:32

anyway final thoughts and solution

19:35

I think everybody should have the right

19:38

to make a report everybody should

19:41

equally have the right to make a report

19:42

that hey I think this post is violating

19:45

some kind of rule but every filing of a

19:48

report should be transparent

19:50

and every moderation of a report should

19:54

be public there should be complete and

19:57

utter accountability I should be able to

19:59

go on twitter.com reports right now and

20:02

see a list of every single report filed

20:04

or I should be able to look at an

20:06

individual post and see who's reporting

20:08

my posts

20:09

I should also see a column action taken

20:13

so I should see all the reports and all

20:15

the actions taken it should be complete

20:17

Lee transparent I think that would solve

20:21

a lot now of course I think that

20:24

something should be moderated like some

20:27

of the things Kanye West does shouldn't

20:28

be on the platform

20:30

they should be removed Kanye probably

20:32

doesn't need a mouthpiece I'm gonna get

20:34

a little bit of a loose cannon what he

20:36

did to Taylor Swift wasn't cool okay I'm

20:37

a Swifty well again I'm biased uh but uh

20:42

but uh this should be full transparency

20:45

see because if I could now go back and

20:47

say Gavin Newsom you ruined by campaign

20:50

by trying to censor me here here here

20:52

here

20:54

well that makes the case for running

20:56

against him again

20:57

I could also if I could show moderation

21:00

potentially hold platforms accountable

21:04

for costing us money

21:07

and that then makes platforms fearful

21:10

and then what do they do they're a

21:13

little bit more careful about what kind

21:15

of content they remove and when they

21:17

infringe on people's free speech

21:19

my take on the Twitter files thank you

21:22

so much for watching if you like this

21:24

content consider sharing it consider

21:25

subscribing and we'll see in the next

21:26

one good luck

21:29

and Godspeed
