The Truth | The Twitter Files & Hunter Biden's Laptop.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
it's time to talk censorship it's time
to talk Twitter files Donald Trump the
FBI and Hunter Biden note my goal in
this video is going to be to be as
unbiased as possible however I will be
introducing my own personal experience
having run a campaign for governor
getting almost 1 million votes in
California against a governor whom I
think is terrible for California so when
it comes to bias let me be clear about
that I ran against the governor of
California whom I think is terrible for
California and if he runs for president
I'll be making a lot of videos about how
terrible he would be for America but in
this video we're going to remain as
unbiased as possible about the Twitter
files so without further Ado let's start
with the latest and greatest the latest
and greatest starts here it has to do
with actually a little bit more
background information and that's why I
want to start here it has to do with the
New York Post alleging that the FBI
repeatedly warned Twitter during weekly
meeting things before the 2020 election
to expect hack and leak operations in
other words putting Twitter on notice to
be aware that there could be some
damning posts about politicians and that
they should essentially potentially be
prepared to remove those sorts of posts
demonetize or Shadow ban those posts in
accordance with hacked material policies
and lo and behold when the hunter
Biden's story broke sure enough it was
removed from Twitter accounts who talked
about it were censored as will she see
in the Twitter files in just a moment
and Twitter did so under the belief that
they were following what they should be
doing the hacked in materials policy at
Twitter unfortunately leadership around
this policy was let's just say almost
entirely absent but what's also very
interesting is the allegation by the New
York Post that Not only was the FBI
warning Twitter about potential hack and
leak operations but it also put Facebook
on high alert for these sorts of Russian
propaganda dumps that could come which
apparently may have never actually come
but the FBI was clearly involved or at
least allegedly involved in telling
social media platforms to be prepared to
remove content that could be fake and
what's remarkable is according to the
New York Post here the FBI apparently
had access to emails between Rudy
Giuliani and the New York Post so
potentially and conveniently had access
to know when the New York Post would
publish the story about Hunter Biden's
laptop which they ended up doing in fact
this was the cover of the post right
here on October 14 2020 just three weeks
before the election there's the story
Biden secret emails
the FBI would have conveniently happened
to know when those posts were going to
go public because of their access to
giuliani's emails which they had access
to because of an investigation they were
conducting against Giuliani which ended
up getting dropped so that access to
giuliani's one away or emails went away
but they conveniently had access to his
emails right before the post story
dropped which gave them the potential
ability to warn Facebook and other news
organizations and Twitter about this
hack and leak operation and a lot of
folks of course have been concerned that
the FBI has become politicized as of
late a lot of folks who are looking
forward to the investigation of Donald
Trump saying no that's fake news the FBI
is not politicized of course then there
are the other half of Americans who say
oh no it's all politically driven okay
let's leave that there as we may and
let's get into the Twitter files because
what we've just done is revealed that
the New York Post is alleging the FBI
warns social media platforms at the very
least and again allegedly that hey there
could be some leaks coming and
conveniently the FBI may have had access
to know that there were some leaks
coming
and maybe conveniently that happened
three weeks before an election where the
FBI was potentially able to help
contribute to molding the outcome of the
election
who knows some folks say the same thing
is actually potentially what happened to
Hillary Clinton when the story around
not what was in Hillary's Clinton's
emails but the fact that Hillary Clinton
used a private email server blew up to
the point of potentially destroying her
election chances
who knows maybe it all goes both ways
but what we want to do is take a look at
the Twitter files and then make some
conclusions and we'll also talk about
what Donald Trump had to say about all
of this we'll make some conclusions
which I think would solve all of this
because I don't think it's really a good
idea to speculate on who's right or
wrong in all of this although I think
there are arguments that some of it is
pretty dang obvious I think my
conclusions are conclusions that all of
us can agree on so let's briefly go
through the most Salient arguments made
and leaked or released I should say on
Twitter about the Twitter files so first
Twitter has a hacked materials rule
where basically if there's hacked
materials they say they will remove it
and I'm speeding this up okay
however in addition to having a hacked
materials rule Twitter is also able to
delete tweets routinely upon the
requests of certain individuals so for
example a political party could send an
email to certain contacts at Twitter and
say hey we think these violate your
terms of service we think these tweets
are either hateful or misinformation or
disinformation or they're a lie or
they're liable or or they're hacked or
whatever they violate some form of
policy and the Biden team in this
example here sent on October 24th the
Biden team is asking you to potentially
remove these five tweets here here are
the links and the response is as simple
as handled
which is kind of scary kind of scary
that a political party could say hey you
know what we want these tweets removed
and Twitter would just reply handled
I would actually like to take a moment
to just talk about my own post
this this is a post that I made when I
announced my candidacy for governor
running against Governor Gavin Newsom in
California it was by far the most
popular post that I have ever made
and I wrote I'm not effing leaving I'm
running instead and it's true I haven't
left California I'm not leaving
California
but I talked about how we have to beat
Gavin news someone I have a full 20-part
plan that includes emergency action to
solve homelessness housing
Transportation schooling and more we
need a non-weenie baby in office
and this post
was censored by Facebook and deleted by
Facebook under their harassment policy
I'm like seriously my announcement post
which was at that point essentially
going viral
just happened to get deleted even though
I've never had a post deleted before and
nothing I said here is really harassing
for a public figure I mean come on folks
that's ridiculous and so now it makes me
think aha
I would love to know
if there is a paper trail of an email
from the Gavin Newsom team saying
something like more from the Newsome
team please remove this post from Kevin
pavrath boy wouldn't that have been a
potential Game Changer during my
election would it not have been possible
that that would have been ammunition
enough to show Tech censorship controls
elections and keeps dirty politicians in
office when they should not remain in
office and that they quell competition
keep in mind and and this this is
anecdotal but after the election I sat
down with people who were on air on TV
in California on California news
stations I sat down with them for coffee
privately and off the Record that's why
I will mention no names or stations and
I was privately told
Kevin you have to understand we could be
staring into a teleprompter and reading
something that we know is untrue but we
have to do it because that's what we're
told to do otherwise we're fired
the reality is
these news companies have to do what
keeps the establishment politicians
happy because guess what happens when
you're the establishment politicians
aren't happy oh you didn't happen to get
an invite to come to our next event why
didn't you get an invite because you
didn't help censor the person we wanted
you to censor it's corrupt and it's
sturdy now it's anecdotal and my
Solutions in this video will address
that potential problem
well I should say more than potential
problem but let's be real here I'm
trying to be unbiased
this folks is exactly what I believe I
dealt with and I was personally on the
receiving end in my 2020 election
campaign against the governor of
California
this gave me a lot of light when I saw
this because it was an aha moment this
is probably exactly what happened to me
but let's move on celebrities and
unknowns alike could be removed or
reviewed at the behest of a political
party both parties had access to these
tools for example in 2020 requests from
both Trump and the Biden campaign were
received and honored however the system
wasn't balanced it was based on contacts
because Twitter wasn't is overwhelmingly
staffed by people of one political
orientation of Democrats they were there
were more channels more ways to complain
open to the left well Democrats than the
right
and that's because of look at the
contributions by political party
recipient
now I want to be clear my political
orientation is very much in the middle I
ran as I actually ran in California as a
JFK style Democrat which is much more
conservative than today's style Democrat
I considered myself a 59 51-49 right
like 51 uh percent Dem 49 Republican uh
maybe maybe today that's slightly flip
but I'm really I really consider myself
in the middle of a bell curve and and I
know that's like you know that's going
to piss some people off people you go
well you didn't know you had a damn I
was like chill out okay try I I try to
be in the Middle with everything but
this stuff is embarrassing right like to
be associated with this is disgusting
look at this and I remember I was the
victim of this stuff contributions by
party of recipient 99 Democrats
zero to three percent Republicans it's
terrible this is absolutely disgusting
and my Solutions will address this we do
get a big jump uh from like 12 and it's
we skip like 13 14 15. uh and and I'm
gonna jump around because some of these
aren't that important
we do have a uh a New York Times article
that I like to bring up because the New
York Times was really active and also
suppressing the story they finally
nearly two years later referenced the
hunter Biden story and they linked to a
story that they had actually buried in
the newspaper back from October 2020 but
this piece right here was a 2022 I think
it was March 2022 piece from The New
York Times and they referenced the
hunter Biden laptop which they had
previously refused to do and so a lot of
folks saw this as tacit admission that
the New York Times was complicit and
also censoring the New York or the uh
newer post story on the hunter Biden
laptop
but there are comments here about how
Twitter took extraordinary steps to
suppress the story Kaylee mcineny was
locked out it sounds like there was a
lot of dissension apparently a lot of
this happened without the knowledge of
the CEO Jack Dorsey and not only did it
happen without the knowledge of the CEO
but a lot of it was just freelanced and
really what happened was once one person
made the decision a lot of the other
more left-leaning individuals at Twitter
just aligned with the previous decisions
of other Freelancers and said you know
what we'll just stick with that decision
and we'll just keep censoring the story
unfortunately the idea about there being
Russian disinformation even according to
the New York Times seemed to have not
been an issue despite the fact that the
FBI was warning about Russian
disinformation happening that was from
the New York Times by the way in 2020
suggesting no evidence of Russian
disinformation
by this point everyone knew this was all
just messed up says one former employee
and they were kind of just stuck into
the cycle rokana who's a democrat in my
opinion actually did a phenomenal job in
arguing here that this seems to be a
violation of the First Amendment if
there is hacked and classified
information or other information that
could expose a serious War crime and the
New York Times was to publish it I think
the New York Times should have the right
to do that a journalist should not be
held accountable for the illegal actions
of the source unless they actively aided
the Hacked so to restrict the
distribution of that material
specifically regarding a presidential
candidate seems not in keeping of the
interest of the people now this is
actually really important because
there's something known as journalistic
privilege so for example if you knew
something Shady was going on and you
sent it to me and then I reported on it
as a journalist I can't be held legally
accountable for disseminating that
information because I didn't take part
in collecting the information
potentially illegally but if it has
damning effects I'm allowed to share it
as a journalist right that's journalists
stick privilege that's very very
important and that's really what rokana
is talking about here and he also talks
about issues regarding section 230. okay
let's give you a brief rundown of
section 230 because this is a big deal
and then it relates to some of the
solutions that I have for all of this so
section 230 just quick summary it's part
of the 1996 Communications decency act
basically it says that companies like
YouTube Twitter Yelp Amazon are not
responsible for the content their users
post they're just basically platforms
that enable other people to post
whatever they want and as a platform the
platform should be immune from the
actions of the users they host it's
basically a liability protection for the
platform saying look the users are the
ones who should be liable if they say
bad things wrong things or if they do
things that are illegal the user should
be liable not the platform now this
makes sense to some degree but what
differentiates this is when somebody has
a control over what's said so for
example the New York Times has control
over what articles get published at the
newyorktimes.com this Hunter Biden
laptop story in the Twitter file story
was not really covered by ABC NBC CNN
briefly covered it right and Fox News
covered it like crazy that's a choice
that means those companies are not
platforms it means they're Publishers
they're choosing not to cover these
Twitter leaks and instead they're
choosing to cover something else like
the Donald Trump stuff right just like
Fox News might not cover uh you know
fraud allegations against uh or let me
clear that up just like Fox News might
not cover certain fraud allegations
against Trump and instead talk about the
Twitter files right that Choice doesn't
make you a platform it actually makes
you a publisher as soon as you have
Choice over what is said or posted you
become a publisher when you are a
publisher you are not immune from
liability now you have liability for
what you post the problem with Section
230 here is what happens when companies
like Twitter start going in and
demonetizing posts or removing the
ability for people to basically spread
their message right well then you start
like are you a platform or a publisher
you kind of start blurring that line and
that's the danger with Section 230.
Donald Trump made a big uh point about
trying to fight against section 230 and
remove section 230 suggesting that
platforms like Twitter who are censoring
his posts should be liable for their
actions right this became such an issue
that in 2020 we actually had a blow up
of Google potentially removing the
monetization ability of websites like
zerohedge and the Federalist both which
definitely lean right Zero Hedge at one
point was banned from Twitter and these
companies had been essentially
threatened to have their monetization
stripped from their websites for not
moderating the comments sections on
their websites now what's interesting
now is it seems like much of this has
blown over because if you go now to the
Zero Hedge comments the very first
article I kid you not the first article
I clicked on to look at the comments
section to see if they still had their
comment section on they do the very
first article and the very first comment
is from somebody named Kyle Rittenhouse
the Milf Hunter
okay and there are plenty of ads when
you turn off Adblock there are plenty of
ads in fact here is a Scientology ad
that plays on Zero Hedge and when you
click on why am I getting this ad you
get Google
about the advertiser Church of
Scientology International so clearly ads
are back on okay but but but what has
all of this led to this talk about
section 230 and these Twitter files well
it's led to calls from Donald Trump
posting on Truth social that basically
these Revelations from the Twitter files
show that there has been clear and
widespread election interference which
before we go deeper into Donald Trump
look at this during a live q a session
on Twitter Saturday afternoon musk said
if Twitter is doing one team's bidding
before an election shutting down
dissenting voices on a pivotal election
that is the very definition of election
interference frankly Twitter was acting
like an arm of the Democratic National
Committee it was absurd yeah no kidding
that is pretty much exactly what was
happening and this led Donald Trump to
suggest that the last election was
basically widespread fraud and deception
and therefore the Constitution should be
term terminated he basically called for
overthrowing the Constitution now this
this did not go very far with
Republicans uh in America this didn't go
very far with anyone other than really
hardcore Trump supporters uh but they
did something that Donald Trump called
for so
what do I think well here's what I think
the solution to all of this is and I
think I have
you know at least some personal impact
on this or or I am impacted personally
by it or had been or would have been
because of my political past and I'm not
a politician Iran is not a politician
people here I ran for governor and
they're like oh you're a politician I'm
like
what
that doesn't really make sense but
anyway final thoughts and solution
I think everybody should have the right
to make a report everybody should
equally have the right to make a report
that hey I think this post is violating
some kind of rule but every filing of a
report should be transparent
and every moderation of a report should
be public there should be complete and
utter accountability I should be able to
go on twitter.com reports right now and
see a list of every single report filed
or I should be able to look at an
individual post and see who's reporting
my posts
I should also see a column action taken
so I should see all the reports and all
the actions taken it should be complete
Lee transparent I think that would solve
a lot now of course I think that
something should be moderated like some
of the things Kanye West does shouldn't
be on the platform
they should be removed Kanye probably
doesn't need a mouthpiece I'm gonna get
a little bit of a loose cannon what he
did to Taylor Swift wasn't cool okay I'm
a Swifty well again I'm biased uh but uh
but uh this should be full transparency
see because if I could now go back and
say Gavin Newsom you ruined by campaign
by trying to censor me here here here
here
well that makes the case for running
against him again
I could also if I could show moderation
potentially hold platforms accountable
for costing us money
and that then makes platforms fearful
and then what do they do they're a
little bit more careful about what kind
of content they remove and when they
infringe on people's free speech
my take on the Twitter files thank you
