00:00Where the hell are the GOP members of Congress on this threat from this EU commissioner to
00:05Elon Musk about the Trump interview?
00:08Hey, man, listen, I'm sorry, but I told you if I don't fall in love with politicians,
00:14I fall in love with outcomes, okay?
00:17Where are you guys?
00:20And a European Union commissioner, some digital tyrant named Thierry Breton, a human garbage
00:29pile sent out a threatening text on some official letterhead from the EU, basically
00:38threatening Elon Musk right before his interview with Donald Trump on the X platform in spaces.
00:46Guys, are you going to do anything about this or are you just going to sit back with your
00:51up to business?
00:52Jim said, we're not allowed to talk about upstuffing.
00:55Are you going to are you going to are you going to do anything about this?
01:03You know, I don't I don't engage in a lot of unnecessary pylons or anything like that
01:09because it's important we keep our eyes focused on this election coming up in the Democrats.
01:13How do you expect to win an election when you've got EU commissioners threatening threatening
01:21a business entrepreneur with a significant platform in the United States and around the
01:25world and there's no significant response?
01:29The entire Republican Party should be giving a press conference up on Capitol Hill with
01:34every single member on the steps today.
01:36And you know what they should all be doing?
01:38Flipping the double barreled middle finger to this theory, Breton and the EU and go and
01:43listen.
01:45How about this?
01:47We believe in this crazy thing like freedom in the United States.
01:50And back in, you know, 1776, we had the same fight, you know.
01:57Where are you guys?
02:01Why is it always shows like this and Levin and others and like the Mike Benz types and
02:07Mike Davis that have to go out and highlight this stuff.
02:09I mean, you were the people we elected in a constitutional republic in a representative
02:14democracy to represent us.
02:18Can't you tell people are pissed off about this stuff?
02:23Jim, queue up for me, cut three.
02:26Folks, I play a lot of clips on this show.
02:30It is rare.
02:33That they're actually this open about the digital tyrants, they become.
02:39I'm not telling you they're not the left wingers, the media, the Washington, but I'm not telling
02:42you they're not digital tyrants.
02:44Obviously, they are.
02:46I'm simply telling you, they typically try to hide it a little better.
02:50You know, what do they put in their masthead?
02:51The Washington Post, a democracy dies in the darkness.
02:54Do they are the darkness?
02:56Here is a Washington Post reporter, Cleve Wooten or something, he's not embarrassed at
03:02all. He is in a government funded building, the White House.
03:06It's not his building.
03:09Asking a government funded, taxpayer funded employee, Kareem Jean-Pierre, she works for
03:15us, maybe a Democrat president, but she's paid by the taxpayer.
03:20In an open forum in front of the entire world with no sense of shame whatsoever.
03:25Why they're not doing more to censor Elon Musk in Donald Trump's conversations, this is
03:32from the PPT paper that just a few weeks ago was saying that any claims that Joe Biden
03:41may be having some mental health crisis that would cause him to exit the race or like deep
03:46fakes or something like that.
03:47This is the paper responsible for more misinformation in this last decade.
03:54In this last, this Donald Trump era than just about any other journalistic endeavor
03:59anywhere in the world.
04:01And they're asking about misinformation, openly trying to suppress the free exchange of
04:06ideas between Elon Musk and Donald Trump and doing it publicly.
04:09Listen to this. Elon Musk is slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on on X.
04:16I don't know if the president is going to feel free to say if he is or not, but I I
04:22think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue.
04:27It's a it's an American issue.
04:30What role does the White House or the president have in sort of stopping that or stopping
04:36the spread of that or sort of inter intervening in that?
04:41Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but it's a wider thing.
04:45Yeah, no. And if you've heard us talk about this many times from here about the
04:48responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation,
04:54disinformation. This is one of those moments where you you're like the the Biden White
05:03House was just sued in the Missouri vs.
05:06Murthy case. The Biden White House was there still actively in litigation over First
05:13Amendment violations during covid for suppressing the free speech of American citizens,
05:19expressing an opinion on things like covid vaccines and masks and things like that.
05:26If this isn't evidence that the digital tyranny we're living is it, then the dystopia is
05:32not a series of tomorrows, but a series of today's right now.
05:35And it's metastasizing like a cancer.
05:38I don't know what is. They're not scared at all, folks.
05:41Hey, man, listen to me, OK?
05:43Put down what you're doing. Listen to me.
05:47I know you've heard it a lot.
05:48I get it. And I know things become cliches.
05:51They become cliches because they're said often and they become just kind of rote.
05:56And when you hear things like this is the most important election of our lifetime, I know
05:59the tendency of some, not necessarily you, but the tendency of some, we've heard that all
06:03before. Nothing's going to change.
06:05No, I promise you, I promise you as your friend and your brother in this business and your
06:09brother in freedom, if we lose this election, ladies and gentlemen, the technology right
06:14now is growing so powerful.
06:17And the digital tyrants out there around the world.
06:21Are getting so nervy right now.
06:25They're not afraid.
06:28There's no amount of litigation that's going to stop them.
06:31The only thing that is going to stop them is to strip them of any power from them that
06:37uses that power to impact your life in a negative way.
06:40There is no option B or C.
06:42That is it.
06:45That is the only option.
06:48We cannot lose.
06:51This Washington Post reporter had no sense of shame whatsoever about openly advocating
06:58for censorship in a government funded building to a taxpayer funded employee.
07:03None.
07:04Cleve Wooten or whatever, you would think the Washington Post, if they had any human
07:11dignity whatsoever, would come out with a statement today saying, we disavow this, this
07:16assertion, this claim, this premise that we should be somehow censoring an open conversation
07:22between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
07:23Say whatever you want in your opinion section of the Washington Post about Donald Trump's
07:27ideas, but a jerk for a so-called journalistic outlet like the Washington Post, which is
07:34the Washington Post and this guy, Cleve Wooten or whatever his name is.
07:38To imply or actually explicitly say that they should be censoring this conversation between
07:45the Republican nominee for president.
07:48And a tech platform and Kareem Jean-Pierre's like just playing along with it, like, oh,
07:53yeah, yeah, no big deal.
07:54We'll see if the mission from.
07:59Now you see why I'm so terrified of what's going to happen if we lose this election.
08:04Here's what they're afraid of.
08:06I brought this up yesterday on the radio show and the podcast, and I need you to digest
08:09this and tattoo this on your brain.
08:12They are not afraid of Donald Trump's politics, folks.
08:16Yes, they hate conservative politics, period.
08:18They have a base latent level of hatred for anything that involves freedom of liberty,
08:23freedom of economic freedom, education, freedom, health care, freedom.
08:26They hate all that stuff. I get it.
08:28Why do they hate Donald Trump at a level that's here in contrast to the base level of
08:33hatred they have for just regular run of the mill conservatives?
08:36The answer is because he's had an impact on the political, cultural ecosystem and
08:41people who have traditionally voted for Democrats in the past.
08:44Donald Trump has broken through the fog, cracked through the mist, and he's got black
08:49voters, Hispanic voters, Jewish voters, younger voters.
08:52He's changed the political culture where they're starting to see the Republican Party
08:57different. And it scares the hell out of the digital tyrants out there.
09:01There it is. Live coverage, live coverage.
09:04Every time Donald Trump speaks openly, this is why they're losing their minds.
09:08The screamers, the yellers peeing in their diapers, doing all they can't take it.
09:13Because they don't want conversations like this.
09:16Cue up for me, cut for Jim.
09:18Here's Ilan and Donald Trump last night just talking about stuff the public would be
09:23interested in, you know, like how Donald Trump almost had his head blown off on TV.
09:29They want to memory hole this story.
09:30Why? Because it makes Donald Trump.
09:34Look, you know, with this fight image, it makes him look good, it makes him look like a
09:39fighter and a warrior shot in the head, stands up, his first inclination is to scream
09:43fight. They don't want conversations like this to happen.
09:48Here's Ilan, one of the world's wealthiest guys going, hey, man, listen, how the Secret
09:51Service missed this thing? I mean, they're right on the roof.
09:53And Donald Trump like it's kind of a good point.
09:56How did they miss that? They don't want this.
09:58They don't want any of this out there.
09:59Check this out. I mean, looking at the aerial views, that building would be like the
10:03number one spot for a sniper.
10:05I mean, it's like it's like that if you were to pick like what is the favorite if you
10:09so the goal is to assassinate.
10:10What's your favorite spot? That building, that building would be number one.
10:14That would have been the it's like you couldn't you can ask for a better location.
10:16It's like, no, that would have been this.
10:21They don't want conversations like that.
10:22They don't want the public to even hear.
10:24They have totally memory hole this entire assassination attempt in this murder scene
10:29there. Why?
10:30Because it paints Donald Trump.
10:33In a positive light, as a guy who's a warrior and a fighter, they don't want you to
10:38hear any of that, that's what theory Bretton and Cleve Wooten at The Washington Post,
10:42that's what they're worried about.
10:45They're also worried about this.
10:48Jim, cut five, here's Elon Musk stating a fairly obvious economic point to anyone who
10:53has a functioning brain, the three digit IQ, that the reason we have massive inflation
10:58right now, real wages are down and people are having to spend more for everyday items
11:02to stay alive is a very simple reason.
11:04The government printed a lot of money.
11:06The money got flushed into the economy.
11:08It had to chase products.
11:09We didn't increase productivity enough.
11:11More money chasing the same or fewer products means the products get more expensive.
11:15None of this is complicated.
11:17They don't want you to hear that.
11:19They want you to believe inflation is like greedy corporation, greedy corporations.
11:22They just got greedy under Joe Biden.
11:24So there was no greed.
11:25Joe Biden gets in office.
11:26Corporations are greedy.
11:28Greed spiked under Joe Biden.
11:29Either way, it'd be Joe Biden's fault.
11:31But that's not what happened.
11:33Here's Elon and Trump talking about inflation, and they're afraid that normal people are
11:37going to hear this for the first time, that the cause of inflation in every single economy
11:41around the world since the time we were sent to sentient beings has been an expansion of
11:45the money supply. Check this out.
11:47The inflation, it doesn't matter what you make.
11:50The inflation is eating you alive.
11:52If you're a worker or if you're a just a middle income person, you can't afford, you know,
11:59four years ago, five years ago, people were saving a lot of money.
12:03Today, they're using all their money and borrowing money just to live.
12:07It's a horrible thing that's happening.
12:09And we'll end that.
12:11Yeah, a lot of people just don't understand where inflation comes from.
12:16Inflation comes from government overspending because the checks never bounce when it's
12:20written by the government. So if the if the government spends far more than it brings
12:25in, that increases the money supply.
12:27And if the money supply increases faster than the rate of goods and services, that's
12:30inflation. Thank you, Elon Musk.
12:34This is what they're afraid of, folks.
12:37They're afraid of straight, candid conversations about common sense things that'll debunk
12:42left wing narratives that people have been gaslit into believing for decades that
12:47inflation is a cause of greedy corporations.
12:49Everybody's greedy.
12:50The government's greedy.
12:51People are great. You ever see the Milton Friedman clip on greed in the Phil Donahue
12:56thing? You think governments aren't greedy?
12:58So what? Greed spiked under Joe Biden?
13:00No, there's always been greed.
13:02There's been greed under Trump, greed under Biden, greed under Bush, greed under Obama.
13:06There's always greed. You know what keeps greedy down?
13:08Other corporations that go and undercut the pricing of crappy corporations that get too
13:13greedy. Inflation has nothing to do with greed.
13:16It has everything to do with what Elon just said.
13:20Governments print a boatload of money.
13:23If you don't commensurately build up your economy to productivity and produce more
13:29stuff, if more money is chasing the same stuff, it's going to cost way for a gym, more
13:35freaking money, bro.
13:37None of this is hard.
13:39Only stupid people don't get it.
13:42That's why Theory Breton and the left wing media was so eager to censor Elon and Trump
13:50from talking yesterday.
13:52Because they're losing the monopoly on the message.
13:57And they're breaking through to people on platforms for the first time.
14:02The political culture is changing.
14:05And they're freaked out.
