and that means that anyone who orders the wrongco words evn accidentally gets fired or banned or ostracized or even charged with a crime.en we've a seen that too. we don't mean to give you more examples of it. they are literally everywhere. if you live here, you're deeply familiar with it. but censorshiphe now defines america's public conversation. we spend d an awful lot of timeo complaining about that on this show. we don't spend enough timempn t enough time asking what is asking what is this all about? why areall the authorities suddenly so intenttwhur on controlling our words? why are they so afraid of free speech? this is a new thing and the answer is pretty simple. it's an act ofn. self-preservation. if voters were allowed to think for themselves, the entire system would teeter and possibly collapse. silly an overstatement. okay, consider the ideas ofha the people in power used to justify their power and the rule over . you hear some of their slogans'r ,one of which you're allowed to disagree with . the here they go. americay is a racist country. white supremacy is our biggest threat. january 6th was a coup.ra ukraine is a vitally important ally. mp gender is a social construct. climate change is an existential crisis. this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated and so on . p these phrases are so common now that you might not even thinkea about them anymore. either biden or pelosi repeat them for the fifthelos time in a single day and you just start to go numb. but takear a break from the numbness, pause and think about it. consider each of thesebo slogans on its merit. are the words actually true? re dosp they correspond to reality? observed reality? noit , they don't. , none of them do. in fact, they're ridiculous. they're laughablele. and that o would be very obvious to all of i us if we were allowk to think about it. but we're not allowed to think about it effectively. all rational scrutiny of the regime's claims have been banned with the helpp of so-called news organizations. our social media platforms, which once promised to give every american a voice nown function like the north korean state news agency. their organs off propaganda. a this crept upnd on us and it o caught a lot of people by surprise, particularly conservatives. conservatives were taught from a very young age to support bigh business because big businesswa was a bulwark against government overreachrk g and tht made sense and it was true for quite a while but very few imagine what it would look like if big business harnessed monopoly poweroo and then joinew that power with government power to strip us of our constitutional rights again. this hackonst incrementally butw it's here. so these aren't really free market companies. they resemble repressive governmentss. they're too big. they're too powerful for youou t do anythingo about. you can't resist. so if you want to talkli in publicc in twentyt twenty two , you have to submit to their censorship. it's depressing. it doesn't seem like there's i a solution. that's's what america looked like. we woke up t this morning but thankfully and it's very nice to say this on a monday things are changing and they appear tog be changing fast. elon musk, who's the head of tesla and spacex, famously a billionaire, just announced he has bought an almost 10%y stake in twitter that makes himn the largest shareholder in twitter. so why is this matter? de well, because twitter matters whether you want it to or not. n twitter is hardly the largest social media platform, but twitter setst. the tone for all news coverage, for all information twitter's where a professional class goes to learn which opinions areon acceptable and which are forbidden and the effect is obvious to everybody. if our public t conversation c suddenly seems stilted and one sided, it is becauseonsu in part twitter itself is so stilted and so one sided. anyone who dares expressre a heterodox opinion even if it's true gets banned. we found that out last week the hard way . so whatever you think or think, you think of elon musk, he certainly understands that quote given that twitter serves as the de facto public town square he wrote recently failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy and quote that iss true . twitterth shares surged nearly 30% on the news of elon musk's purchase. so for's him p it turned out toe a pretty good buy. but it's hard to imaginee that must have bought twitter shares for the investment of . e world's richestst he doess not need the money. could this be the first move in a hostile takeover of twitter that transforms twitter into a platform for free speech? seems that wayplat. elon musk is not an orthodox conservative, but he sees the peopleco in powern with devastating clarity. a few months ago he described weakness that is togo say the ideology at the heart ofhe twitter's business operations o as quote one of the greatest threats to modern civilizationpe .civi >> watchli it is a prevalent mid virus and arguably one of the biggest threats to b on television. so do do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation and hate? basically at its heart, weakness is divisive, exclusionary and hateful. it basically gives people m a reason if it gives them a shield to be to be mean and cool, armored and false fauci what was the last time you heard a crisper and more precise definition that weakness gives meaning people a shield to be mean and cruel m, armored in false virtue and quote not a lot ofno ceos talk this way. in fact, none they're not allowed the fact that a ceo who does talk this way may take over one of the most important communications platforms in the united states is cause forunta celebrationte. n. real celebration sensors are powerful, but it turns out they may not all powerful. so what happens next ? let's b be very clear.it this is's not a business transaction. it's much bigger than that . elon is a massive threat to the way things are. so by definition it will not beo long before they are calling him a racist. you can markth your calendar tonight . there are democratic operatives studying everything elon musk has ever said in public. they're preparing one of the nastiest campaigns of character assassinationon in memory. they have no choice but to do this restore free speech to twitter is the greatest possible threat t to the people in charge. they have to control the information. t ifhe they don't, they fall. so you're to be hearing a lot about elon musk in coming days and all of it will bee negative at some point.tive. they're going to unearthth this clip from the babylon bs podcast back in december. babyn they'll tell you this is some so kind of fascist talk or dangerous ethno national. we'll let you judge for yourself. , there are not enough people i can't emphasize this enough. there are not enough people. e and i think one of the biggestst risks to civilization is the low birth rate r and rapidly declining birth rate. it is it is. and yeto so many people, including smart people, think t that there are too many peoples in the world and think that the population is growing out of control. it's completely the opposite. please look at the numbers if people don't have more children, civilization is going to crumble. markrkiv my words. okay, so the first tip that what you just heard is forbidden is that it's real. he's not talking about something ephemeral. he's not talking aboutut the academy awards. he's talking about perpetuating the species, something that has inherent meaning we ought to be thinking about but that by design will not havein more childreng. he said that's one of the things you're no longer allowed to say in public o. must themselves already ignored that order. he's got eight kids. the problem with people with eight kids is they're hard to control. why? because they'redsard apt to love their own kids more than the corporation they work for more than a governmentov they live under. so neoeo liberal leaders hate the idea of big families in the same way they hate the idea of religious faith becausef both are a challenge to a their powel that's one of the main reasonsso they despise viktor orban, the prime minister of hungary who's pro family policies are the mostng comprehensive in the world because of those policies we went to see orban last summer and here's how he described to s us what he's doing in hungary. g what isoi going on here isbu building up a society which is very successful economically, politically, culturally, even in demography. we have some success family policy. so what you can see here could be described as a success story. but s the fundamentals of this success are totally different than it is wheezed and rund and created by by many other western countries. so the western liberals cannot accept that inside the western civilization there's a conservative national alternative which is more successful at everyday life at the level of the theny the liberal ones, a world leader who reads books and talks like it. so he's essentially arguing that hungary is hated by the leaders of other t countriesk. because the contrast is so stark. hungary is conservative. let's be there. iv wee mean by conservative. hungary is conservative in pretty much exactlye the same way. the united states was conservative in nineteen ninety eight , not old fashioned repressive conservative, whatever that is, but just sort of normal peopleve conservative, the conservative. >> you remember very well before the lunatics took over . soer hungary has stayed that course. thanks to the man you just saw and as a result it has turned out to be much more successful by which would mean much more stable and much happier than most of the liberal countries that surroundh. that's true . and that's what they hate viktor orban so much. hehe's a living rebuke to their ideas. and yet and thisch is our secone piece of good news tonight . viktor orban was reelected yesterday for the fourth time in an electoral landslide describedech, orban the victory as a win for sensible nationalismor. it certainly is as well as a rebuke to quote the left at home, the international left, the brussels bureaucrats, the soros empire with all of its money, the international mainstream media and in the end even the presidentll of ukraineo we should tell you all of those forces and people bitterly opposed to victor orban's reelection and you can see why he does the one thing you're never allowed to do. orban says e the obvious things out loud. last summer, fororob example, he told that in order to protect families, you first have to secure your nationalil borderse. what if somebody without getting permission on behalf of the hungarian state cross your border? you have to defend your country and if yououopp would like to cross over , he would like to come.. there's a legal procedure. we have toan do it. but you can't cross without any kind of limitation and permission and anyol contribution and control of the hungarian state. it's dangerous. you haveri to defend your people. against any danger and you think you haveke a right to do that . of course that's got fromco the it's coming from the god the nature for all of you with us because this is our country. this is our i population. this is our history.ng this isua our language. so we have to do that . of course, if you are in trouble and there is nobody closer tor you than the hungarians, you have to be helpful. but you can't say simply that , okay, it's a nice country.co i would like to come here and to live here because it's a nicer life. this is not a human right to come here, norway because it's our land. it's a nation. it's a community family's historic tradition, language, families, history, tradition, language. find five people who arega against those things. those who are against those things are people who hate the idea of countries o who woud like to eliminate all distinctions between countries because that would make them more powerful but take three steps back so you just m watches a guy who runs a nation of ten million people in central europe and he's got a slightly different, a radically different but a slightly iodifferent way of doing things. why is it so threatening that he's running a country that looks like america in nineteent ninety eight ? why a are you so mad about that? because it's a challenge toe the monopoly. they'reth mad at him for the sae reason. very soon they will be everyhe bit as mad at elon musk. he's challenging their monopoly and their monopoly power is the only advantage they have ift there's competition in the marketplace, they lose because their products are terrible. so immediately you won't be surprised to learn this . our media set out to slander viktor orban must stop orban in the name of democracy. a guy who just got elected ton, cnn today reported t quote, viktor orban, hungary's authoritarian leader, anti putin ally calls zolensky opponent after winning reelection. they got nothing. that's true , by the way, that the gladwyne but they don't even explain. it's just prima facie he's terrible to criticize somebody not allowed to criticize. tici. putin in stooge so a couple of questions here. i no one in hungary is pro-russian, by the way. almost all hungarian energy comes from russia.om so probably best not to pick a fight with russia, which is much bigger than hungary , much bigger than hungary . multiples of rus the size of hungary . but in whatun sense isga he a pn stooge or was one of the veryhe first leaders in europe to w denounce the russian invasion of ukraine? oh , that was in the cnn piece.pi and byec the way, how is it that the thoratec region just won a landslide in ast nationwie election? >> why is viktor orban an authoritarian, a professor fascist and not just anun unusually popular prime minister elected for the fourth time? so to answerusr a question, orban's critics have to make stuff up. you officialsba, for example, ae reportedly upset. this is a brisk whatever quote the mr. orban has used his majority in parliament to rewrite election laws, redraw voting districts and permit mail in ballots without identity verification . so orban so it turns out if authoritarian you might let people vote by mail and then cannot be allowed c in hungary. he's an authoritarian for doing that . unbelievable. now kasonon stanley, it confirms one genius who apparently teaches at yale university this assessment which is equally hilarious. savor this quote hungary shows that if you control the education system, the media and the courts, you can ruleev forever enriching your family nrand friends. really, what's interesting is that media in hungary are farre less controlled by one a party than they are in the united states. there's much more diversity of view allowed in hungary than in the united states, much more just kinds of publications ,jutheir partisan affiliation and you will see it's much more diverse in hungary. so there's not a lot of self-awareness on display ever on the left, but particularlyy not today on the subject of viktor orban, a seniorhi correspondent at vox offeredsen this assessment on twitter quote for the whole country to be dumbed down by propaganda, it's crazy. they literallysy. brainwash peoe in the countryside. they just repeat the stateus mediat stock lies.nl there are only a handful of independent media outlets and they are hard to find. this is too great. they're always talking about themselves. meanwhile, back in the united states, silicon valley ceos openly admit they suppress any speech t the democratic party doesn't want to hear. here's for example, twitter'ses' new ceo. our goal is not to be bound by the first amendment, but our rule is to serve the organization and our move moves are reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthier public conversation . the kinds of things that we we do do about this is to focus less on thinking about freee speech but thinking about how the times have changed. one ofng the changes today that we see is speech is easy on the most people can speak where our rulers particularly emphasize is going to be hard. i oh so that's how we're so shop in our country as an adulte become wildly successful, take over one of the mostt importantu institutions in american lifetih the nexus through which all oflo our ideas flow.ww and then you announce without shame that we could care less about our constitution and you seek to strip us of ouritut constitution or right. and you'll feel embarrassed as you say that what are we watching here? as watching someone who has an unassailable monopoly. that's what people with monopolies talk. they don't care what you think because they have a monopoly. here's the good news and that'sh why we're celebrating tonight that monopoly is ending . candace owens is w the founder f the charity flex that we're happy to have you join us . thanks so muchthan for coming oh so this we're watching to monopoly's fault's and i won for one am celebrating both. yeah, we should be celebrating it honestly. it was such great news to wake up to on a monday morning, especially because it's been followedda i by just back to bak abysmal news that it seemsms lie that way at least. buttt the one thing that i want to say here is that it's more than a threat to free speech that we're talking about t when you're looking at twitterk and this is why what elon musk is doing is so important. i mean, we'reer talking about a threat to free and fair elections. they've censored information that's criticalant.t.on in termr people being informed by people that they're voting about. when you talk about the one provided laptopar which still hs not been unpacked fully, we're still avoiding the more important parts of the conversation. co changenv that laptop and they're only now admitting it because ec i been years later and the guy that they wanted in the. white house is there. they labeled this as misinformations. ls right. we're talking about also a disruption when they censor speech, a disruptionn toet the free markets. right.s, they censored any c and all evidence about things that pertaining to the vaccines recently they knew it caused heart inflammation k. ai but ifd you if you said that ifn you said my child had heart inflammation, you were bannedfl your account was censored. i particularly use my accountse to talk about all the women that we're talking about, your regular and at that timet, it was hit and he saysat misinformation until months later. finally the fda decideses acknowledged that yes, kn this actually is happening, which means that we're nots,ha beinge given control over our own life because they'rere deciding on the narrative whataboutism to our health when it pertains to the conversations even right nowco you're seeing that they ae forcing us to want world w war three rightan. they have decided that world war three is now the thingev that everyone needs to get on er board with . so you cannot say anything critical of zolensky even though twoth years ago all they did talk about was y critical things regarding regarding the leonski, you hadng the washington post writing articles claiming that he was a part of the global elite.
