 Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. Yeah, so this crazy stuff with the COVID, it's just, you know, beyond our leaders and everything else. You know, a big part of this is the media and social media as well, the craziness that's going on it. And we had a prime example of that just happened recently as well with Joe Rogan who just continues to, you know, knock the ratings down with his show, you know, just having massively more viewers than all of the cable news networks. I mean, possibly combined, I'm not sure, but in this particular case, he was interviewing just recently on his show, Dr. Robert Malone, who is a pioneer in developing these RNA vaccines that are the things that people are crediting with saving our lives from COVID right now. But the idea that he would be censored for saying anything negative about the dogmatic approach that's being taken by the government is just crazy. So he had said that he really thought, I've heard him on several different shows. I think he's been on Jimmy Dore, he's been on, I think, Tucker's show, and he's been on a bunch of shows, I'm pretty sure, but he's been skeptical about some of the direction that they're going with this vaccine. And one of the issues was the idea of this being a cure-all, you know, the idea that this would totally solve everything and that this wasn't going to spread. And he's been one of those people who's been sort of a skeptic in all of this of the government's approach. And he recently said that it's almost like some kind of mass hypnosis is what he analogized this to what people who are just terrified and want to shut everything down forever. And so when he said that, lots of people started looking up the term that he was using. And I think he called it mass information or mass formation psychosis. And he said it's kind of like society's been hypnotized. And so people started trying to look that up and droves on Google because Joe Rogan has such a large audience. And so Google decided to, I guess, sort of throttle this. They essentially pulled, I guess, they started to censor against the quote until they could get sources up that they thought were better. And then they came back saying that this was like some kind of right wing new term or something far right. So anyway, it's just an example of the sort of the thought police there coming in and directing us. What do you guys think of this? I mean, it's kind of scary stuff and it's not just coming from the government. That's what's so crazy about all this. Yeah, it's horrible. I was a little distracted by you had a picture of a bikini clad woman in that thing. I got a little distracted. Sorry about that. But the thing. So this is Google. Is this YouTube? Is that is that who wanted to throttle this or just I think it was Google in general throttling the searches for this mass information psychosis. And I think that YouTube might have pulled that show or whatever the clips from that show or something. They might have throttled that so that people couldn't find it if they were looking for it. I'm not a hundred percent sure of all of the details of it. But but there was a lot of I guess big tech censorship that came out to to keep the the I guess the CDC political narrative alive. Yes, you know, keep us from now. Everybody's looking at that picture. So I am assuming then that there's other sources where we can watch this interview if we wanted to. Well, he is on this. This show would have been on Spotify, I believe, is where his show currently resides. And that is free service so you can certainly go out and watch it there. And these clips might be popping up in other places as well, you know, places like rumble. And I think Joe Rogan just announced to he was opening up a getter account as well because of Twitter censoring him. So yeah, he's leaving. He's leaving Twitter and he's going together. Yeah, and I hope we'll go there too. OK, what's the name of it? Gather, getter, G E T T R. Getter, getter is a social media platform. I think it's akin to Twitter. I don't I've never used it, but I'm well, I get it. I already know what's going through Tim's mind. I just got to go there and get her. Yeah, I just want to. That's right. You know, I want to meet her and then I'll get her. I hope. But anyway, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I have a girlfriend. OK, just just nonsense. I'm just I'm just being silly. I'm doing what I used to do to get in trouble in Catholic school. OK, I'm just doing the same stuff. So the yeah, as long as there's alternatives, you know, I think it's wrong of these private companies to flex their their muscle in the world of censorship, flex their censorship muscles. But, you know, if they want to be stupid, go go right ahead. I mean, won't they want to be known? Go down in history as this is a place where you're not going to get the truth. I mean, you know, unless it's all whitewashed, you know, go ahead. You know, I I wish them luck. They're going to need it because they're going to go out of business. This keeps going. I mean, well, maybe not. I mean, that's that's a that's a far stretch. But I mean, you really have to do a lot of things wrong to do that. But Kodak did it. So, you know, if Kodak can do it, Google can do it. You know, but, but, you know, you're right, Tim, that as long as the alternatives, I guess we should not be concerned about this. My problem, I think we should be concerned. I'm sorry. I don't don't really want to say that. It's concerning, very concerning. OK. But I mean, the alternatives that at least are an alternative. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Leanne. Oh, sure. OK. But my problem, my big problem with all of this is not is is not so much that a private company may want to censor somebody on their platform. I I I am fine with private companies doing doing that kind of stuff. They should have the freedom to do that kind of thing in in an economy that is relatively free. The problem begins when the government getting on the act. And I am not sure that the government did not get in on this particular act. I don't know. I have no information on that. So I'm not going to spread that as fact. But we have had information in the past. We have had discussions in the past where the White House have been having identified problematic posts and acts in Facebook to take them down. So I don't know if some of that could have happened this time, too. If if they are admitting, you know, that they have done this a few times, God knows how many times they might have done it without our knowledge. So this is my problem. When the government starts to censor us not directly, but indirectly, they start axing those companies like Google and Facebook and Twitter and all of these people to take posts down. We had that happening here in California, where the where the the the Newsome administration was with Facebook trying to get rid of some of the political opponents through post removing some of their posts and that kind of stuff. So all these things to me are potentially problematic. But you're right. If it's a private company making their own private decisions, I have no problem with it. But when the government gets another act, we in some real, real crazy waters here that we better be very careful about. Well, speaking of mind spreading, I'm sorry. So, Leon, you don't mind spreading facts, but you'll spread a couple of rumors now and again, right? Just like the fact checkers, just like a fact check.
