 The social media company that was accused of stepping all over people in their speech and that is Twitter and the fact that Elon Musk has just bought Twitter saying that he's going to end some of that stepping on people's speech and this does bring up a lot of issues for libertarians because we talk about free speech on a private platform or is there a lot of government distortion going on here and you know so then it comes more of a government free speech issue but boy I tell you since he bought this I have not seen this many upset Democrats about an African-American since Jim Crow or as Biden would say Jim Eagle but what do you guys think about this story this is a pretty crazy story now the new sheriff in town and is he going to regulate or not we'll see what do you guys think about it well there's going to be a lot of people who are going to get very upset just because of the fact that Elon Musk who indeed is an African-American is being called an African-American because he has white skin you know this is going to be a real problem we are going forward okay and for those listeners who aren't in on the no he was born in South Africa that's kind of joke 16 or 17 years in South Africa but be that as it may we have a problem here in this country with the social media platforms a very big problem it is not that these people they are private companies yes and and show private companies can do as they wish on their platforms I have no problem with that my problem begin when all of these private companies are taking directions from the government or taking instructions from the government to help people or to hurt people because in the 2020 election we had a very big issue where the Hunter Biden laptop was suppressed by Twitter was suppressed by Twitter for no reason other than the fact it was it was done to help Joe Biden win the election which he actually end up winning and their polls their polls suggest that that would not have happened if that laptop was known and if the contents of that laptop was known and widespread and widespread and widespread distributed around the country but Elon Musk comes along with to me is going to save some of our liberties here I think so at least I hope so okay because Twitter need and these other social platforms other social platform need to stop the censoring that they're doing now they call it content moderation that's what they call it but this is nothing but censoring centering our words sensing our thoughts that censoring anything that we we put out there just to help the left in this country and that is bad and is wrong and hopefully this would be a blow to these people who are trying to suppress free speech in the in the United States of America well okay yeah I'm hoping that Elon will be an instrument of positive change in and will stand up for free speech and I think he will and I'm hoping that he does and so Kalish do you share our enthusiasm for his purchase here yeah I mean I might be switching over to Twitter here pretty soon then if it ends up being as successful as you think it will be it's not very popular around my area it never just really caught on in the Central Valley but yeah I think everybody here has been pretty fed up with with platforms like Facebook where you know we get we get censored the only the only things I ever get censored is something that goes against the left narrative and so it shows as a clear bias and I think that we're kind of done with it but you know hopefully hopefully Elon pulls through on that one and and proves this right that it'll be a more free speech friendly platform I sure hope so yes indeed I sure hope so you know I kind of share that too that I I have a Twitter account but I've almost never used it so I'm going to start looking into it a little more interesting but it is funny though I was on Facebook the other day and I had shared a a joke meme that you know I thought was a hysterical meme about social democrats and and it was uh it was essentially that old what was this old cartoon that essentially it shows socialists in one image and it shows them about to you know put down you know a citizen you know in one of the many you know cleansings they've had and all these different you know uh terrible you know like places like you know China and Russia and all this other stuff and then in the next image it shows the exact same picture but they show party hats and you know little smiling emojis that says social or democratic socialism and but I they literally they threw a strike at me or whatever they call it I mean they gave me a warning and they pulled it down and that was on Facebook and so I was just kind of shocked uh you know because I've seen that thing float around the internet quite a bit so it just amazes me the kind of things that trigger you know on these uh if you offend their sensibility you see this is this is just this is just a point you know Jason because and well the collision and Tim also this is just a point we have a very good definition provided by the Supreme Court of what is protected speech and what is not protected speech okay and to me anything that does not that anything that is that is not a violation as defined by the Supreme Court should be should be allowed on the platforms like you can't go on the platform and you know inside violence or you can't go on the platform and say you're gonna assassinate this one or you're gonna kill that one okay those things are not protected speech okay you can't shout fire in a crowd in theater whatever the equivalent of that on the platform is is not protected but everything else should be permitted and I don't know why these these these left-wing groups who so love to talk that want to save us and protect us they so love to limit speech you always want to limit speech you always want to suppress speech if it offends them you know oh my goodness I've offended so what if you offended we all offended all the time life liberty and the pursuit of happiness always and forever
