0:00

and saying it's absolutely dangerous uh

0:02

for the government to determine which

0:04

speech is okay and which is not.

0:06

>> What's your reaction to techn

0:09

is an incredible American patriot with

0:12

courage. You know it used to be I

0:13

remember in the old days that Trump

0:15

doesn't answer would have to get

0:17

licensed rellicensed and it was always a

0:19

big deal you know they had to show

0:21

honesty and integrity. Uh, when you have

0:24

a network, again, I'll use the same

0:26

numbers, whether it's 90 or 94 or 97,

0:29

all different numbers, but when you have

0:31

networks that give somebody 97% bad

0:34

publicity or 94% bad publicity,

0:37

>> Trump punts uh

0:38

>> Trump totally punch punts talking about

0:41

what Ted Cruz said because Ted Cruz just

0:45

came out with the truth. Now, this is

0:47

interesting. Ted Cruz slamming the FCC

0:52

for threatening

0:54

ABC and Disney thereby

0:57

for not taking action against Kimmel,

0:59

which of course then they did. Ted Cruz,

1:02

obviously a Republican, uh slamming the

1:05

FCC. Let's let's listen to see what he

1:07

says. Kim will be fired. Um I think you

1:11

know you could certainly see a path

1:13

forward for uh suspension over this. And

1:16

again, you know, the FCC is going to

1:18

have remedies that we could look at. Um,

1:20

and again, you know, we may ultimately

1:22

be called to be a judge on that.

1:24

>> No, that's a quote from the FCC that

1:27

they just played. Let's now listen to

1:28

the reaction of theirs.

1:31

>> No, no, no, no. Look, look, I like

1:35

Brendan Carr. He's a good guy. He's the

1:37

chairman of the FCC. I work closely with

1:39

him. But what he said there is dangerous

1:43

as hell.

1:44

>> Yes. uh

1:45

>> for hold on for people that are

1:46

listening cuz this is going to be quote

1:47

controversial. So I want to make sure we

1:49

explain it clearly

1:51

>> when you say no and it's dangerous

1:53

explain and and and run this out the

1:56

slippery slope that this can open so

1:58

that people understand why we're saying

2:00

it.

2:01

>> So the Federal Communication Commission

2:03

I is in charge of granting broadcast

2:06

licenses. So ABC, NBC, CBS, they have

2:08

licenses from the FCC. It is true that

2:11

under statute they are required to be in

2:14

the public interest.

2:15

>> What he is saying is Jimmy Kimmel was

2:19

lying. That's true. He was lying and his

2:21

lying

2:22

>> I I obviously dispute that. We made a

2:24

whole video disputing that it was a lie.

2:26

Not to side with Jimmy Kimmel. He made

2:27

insensitive comments about Charlie Kirk.

2:29

Charlie Kirk at a at at a terrible time.

2:32

So bad timing and insensitive comments.

2:35

And it was stupid what Kimmel did. But

2:37

he didn't lie. Now, I encourage you and

2:40

implore you to watch my breakdown of why

2:43

I say this because I think people who

2:45

don't watch my full breakdown of why I

2:47

say that don't get it. Uh, and what we

2:50

did is we did a logical and fallacy and

2:52

fact-based breakdown of what Kimmel

2:56

said. Now, I encourage you to watch the

2:58

whole thing, but I'll give you a very

2:59

quick sneak preview. Kimmel said,

3:04

long story short, people spent the

3:06

weekend claiming that Robinson was

3:09

anything other than one of them.

3:11

Desperately so, right? All the

3:12

amplifiers and modifications of that,

3:14

all that doesn't really matter. What

3:15

matters is the crux of the argument is

3:17

spent the weekend claiming that he is

3:20

anything other than one of them, which

3:21

means he's basically saying he's not

3:24

MAGA. But you have to remember calling

3:27

somebody not MAGA does not equal calling

3:30

them MAGA. The opinion that comes out of

3:33

this is well he was implying that

3:34

they're MAGA. No, that assumes there are

3:37

only two options. That's like saying

3:41

you know Donald Trump spent the whole

3:43

weekend claiming he's not white. And

3:45

then somebody going ah our fearless

3:48

black leader. Wait, no. There are more

3:52

choices. This is what's called the

3:54

logical fallacy of a false dilemma,

3:56

which is an eitheror fallacy.

3:59

And it's the fallacy of it's either this

4:02

or that. No, you don't have to be if if

4:06

somebody is cheering that somebody is

4:08

not MAGA. It could be that they're

4:11

deranged. It could be that they're a

4:14

Zionist or they're part of the Nazi

4:15

party or they're part of some other

4:17

party. that that doesn't make them MAGA

4:20

just because, you know, somebody was

4:22

arguing that they're not MAGA. So, I

4:23

don't think there was a lie there and

4:24

you could watch my full video breaking

4:26

that down, but we we'll keep going to

4:27

see what Ted Cruz says because what Carr

4:29

does is very bad for free speech in

4:32

America and for capitalism in America to

4:35

the American people is not in the public

4:36

interest. And so, he threatens

4:38

explicitly,

4:39

we're going to cancel ABC's license.

4:41

We're going to take him off the air so

4:43

ABC cannot broadcast anymore.

4:45

>> Yes. Yes.

4:45

>> And and I got to say he he he he

4:47

threatens it. He says we can do this the

4:51

easy way, but we can do this the hard

4:53

way.

4:54

>> Yeah.

4:55

>> And and I got to say that's right out of

4:56

Good Fellows. That that that that's

4:58

right out of a mafiosa coming into a bar

5:00

going, "Nice bar you have here. It'd be

5:03

a shame if something happened to it."

5:06

And and I got to say, look, I

5:08

understand. Jimmy Kimmel has mocked me

5:11

so many times I cannot count. the the

5:14

corporate media, they are dishonest.

5:15

They are liars. I hate what Jimmy Kimmel

5:18

said. I am thrilled that he was fired.

5:22

>> But let me tell you, if the government

5:25

gets in the business of saying

5:29

>> what you, the media, have said, we're

5:32

going to ban you from the airwaves if

5:35

you don't say what we like. That will

5:38

end up bad for conservatives. It reminds

5:40

me of you and I are both fans of the

5:42

Lord of the Rings.

5:43

>> Yeah.

5:43

>> JR Tolken. It reminds me of like the

5:46

ring of power and and it is so

5:49

attractive. It's sort of like

5:50

conservatives are saying, "Wait, wait.

5:51

If we have government, we have power. We

5:54

can ban the media. Let me tell you what

5:57

will happen going down this road. There

6:00

will come a time when a Democrat wins

6:03

again."

6:04

>> Yep. Exactly. That's exactly what we

6:06

talked about in my video this morning.

6:08

We literally broke this down in my full

6:10

33minute detailed video on why what

6:14

Jimmy said was disgusting and he's a

6:16

dumbass and we could hate him for it. I

6:19

did also break down why it's not a lie.

6:21

Now Ted Cruz doesn't do that here

6:22

because if you're aligned with the

6:24

right, you have to say it was a lie. Now

6:26

people are like, "What did you imagine?

6:28

It wasn't a lie." Okay, just to to say

6:30

that, you know, they spent the weekend

6:33

arguing that he's not MAGA. Of course,

6:35

because that boosts up the MAGA party.

6:38

It unites the party to get more votes

6:40

for midterm. That's not a lie. That's

6:43

exactly what that's literally what

6:44

everybody did after the Charlie Kirk

6:46

shooting. Oh my gosh, this is so

6:47

terrible. We have to come together. We

6:48

need to we need to grow the party. We

6:50

need to donate more to political

6:51

campaigns and to security and we need to

6:54

grow uh the power of the MAGA movement

6:56

more. This won't stop the MAGA movement.

6:58

That's that's literally what everybody

6:59

did. So Jimmy stated a fact. Does yes,

7:04

he was not MAGA. Correct. Nobody ever

7:07

implied this guy was MAGA. You know, all

7:10

weekend long it's he's trans and mental

7:13

and a psycho, radical leftist. Like

7:16

that's all we heard all weekend long. So

7:19

Jimmy was right to make that

7:20

observation.

7:21

>> Wins the White House.

7:22

>> They will get rid of,

7:24

>> right? But the next politicians, if the

7:27

SEC, the FCC is allowed to make these

7:30

threats where they say, "Hey, we could

7:32

do this the easy way or the hard way,

7:33

you know, we might have to rule on

7:35

this."

7:36

And then all of a sudden, Bob Iger hears

7:38

about this. And the staff at Disney are

7:41

like, "Do we really want to risk this

7:43

for our shareholders? Do we really want

7:45

to be in a fight with the FCC when we

7:47

have six plus billion dollar merger and

7:50

acquisition deals pending that require

7:52

FCC approval? Nah. So you fire them.

7:56

That's wrong.

7:58

That's a conservative. They'll get rid

8:00

of every podcast. They'll get rid of

8:01

every silence us. They will use this

8:04

power and they will use it ruthlessly.

8:07

>> Yes.

8:08

>> And that is dangerous. And by the way,

8:09

in the Biden administration,

8:12

they tried to go after and revoke Fox's

8:15

license because they didn't like and

8:16

they say correct. And the same thing is

8:20

the kind of censorship that you saw with

8:23

Meta and and uh Twitter before it was X.

8:27

It's all the same. And it was all driven

8:29

by

8:30

the leftleaning

8:33

folks in power then. Everything they say

8:36

on Fox is hate speech. I'm sure they say

8:38

everything you and I say is hate speech.

8:40

It's misinformation. They've defined

8:44

anything counter to the leftist

8:46

narrative as misinformation. Now, we

8:49

just talked about Jimmy Kimmel was

8:50

lying. But you know what? It's it's

8:54

interesting. Brendan said, "Well, gosh,

8:56

they they slandered they slandered

8:59

Charlie Kirk and his family." You know

9:00

what? If they slandered him, there's

9:03

already a remedy. There's a remedy of

9:04

defamation. ABC could be sued. And by

9:07

the way, you get a defamation lawsuit,

9:09

you could pay millions of dollars. Let

9:11

that process play out. I think it is

9:14

unbelievably dangerous

9:17

>> for government to put itself in the

9:19

position of saying, "We're going to

9:21

decide what speech we like and what we

9:23

don't, and we're going to threaten to

9:24

take you off air if we don't like what

9:26

you're saying." And it might feel good

9:28

right now to threaten Jimmy Kimmel.

9:31

>> Yeah.

9:31

>> But when it is used to silence every

9:34

conservative in America, we will regret

9:36

it. And and and so again, I like Brennan

9:38

Carr, but we should not be in this

9:41

business. We should denounce it. It's

9:43

fine to say what Jimmy Kimmel said was

9:46

deplorable. It was disgraceful, and he

9:49

should be off air, but we shouldn't be

9:51

threatening government power to force

9:53

him off air. That's a real mistake.

9:56

>> Ted Cruz, absolutely amazing. Double

10:00

take. Like I say, my goal is if

10:03

everybody hates me, it means I'm always

10:04

focused on the truth because I'm not a

10:07

tribalist. I poop on Biden. I poop on

10:10

Trump. I poop on like this morning, you

10:13

know, I used to poop on that mirin guy,

10:15

Steve Mirren or whatever, the the new

10:17

Fed guy that, you know, Trump shilled

10:19

into there. He's actually good. He's

10:22

better than I thought, you know, and so

10:24

I'll change my opinion if different

10:26

facts and data and commentary come out.

10:28

But this Ted Cruz comment was a win. It

10:31

is a 100% in alignment with what I said

10:34

about the danger of the FCC this morning

10:36

in a 33minute video where I broke all of

10:38

this down in detail with the clips and

10:41

the recordings. This corroborates

10:44

exactly what I warned about this

10:46

morning, saying this is very dangerous

10:49

for our first amendment rights to free

10:50

speech because it's not about now. It's

10:52

about what happens in the future. Good

10:54

job.

10:55

>> Knows about this.

10:55

>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and

10:57

see how it goes. Congratulations, man.

10:59

You have done so much. People love you.

11:00

People look up to you.

11:01

>> Kevin Papra there, financial analyst and

11:03

YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to

11:05

get your take.
