1st post-presidential speech signing. the same. media. program keeping it. should be off limits when it comes to informing. americans think council culture poses a real threat to freedom. in the practice of.

bringing you the biggest news stories of the day this is. and welcome to the program. deleted. first post presidential speech citing a lack of content warning the exact same footage still remains on the other you true pages earlier i discussed the removal with our senior correspondent steve. well this is this is just the latest such incident there's you know there's been a chain of them over the past several years and susu this video is new comment right it's just a direct feed from she packed where donald trump now former president was giving his 1st public speech since leaving office in it he again called and this is what is called caused quite a stir. in the media he again said that the elections will fall to 5 though the

there was a little fraud something that is disputed something with he has offered no proof of but this is a line that he maintains and you tube. basically came out and said that you know you had to give this video with a warning with a warning saying that everything trump was saying in this speech which you know there was no comment of offered by us that it's all you know i think basically the interesting thing about this is that they they formulated in the way that it violated their scam and spam policies which is which is very interesting since this is a direct feed of what the former president will say artsy sputnik oxy dortch stream trump speech without any e.d.'s a constant warnings provided the dues contain trump's full speech about the us 2020 presidential election our fellows up on the internet department they went and

looked for the same video on other platforms like reuters a.b.c. the independent and while it's still up it's still up there there's no comment there's no warning they basically give the same video total trump speech and it's still up there's no shrikes there's new deletion is no warnings this is just the latest incident over the recently especially the. the amount of and there's no other way to call it censorship is the you know it's selectively applying rules to only specific shadows. sputnik that is censorship for example the last year up in arms a documentary about the violent protests in the united in the united states and they were violent weren't there on both sides both. of the far right protest staged across america they they often turned violent and there was

a nazi documentary up in arms so they interviewed and. activists they interviewed more conservative activists and you tube came out and struck a warning that this is frightening potentially frightening content shocking content and basically what that means is people have to log in to you tube they have to be very 1000 years old and it drastically lose the number of views you can potentially get now this documentary used footage widely available everywhere else short all over the place over the loss of course on c.n.n. on fox news and all sorts of outlets just just the normal user accounts and none of them was struck with a warning or with the truck or with a warning label you know a block there was nothing it was only applied to r t then you had. another documentary about isis the post published in 2016 last year it suddenly it was suddenly struck with

a warning susu to view it again you have to log in so for 4 years people watched this video for 4 years nobody had a problem with it and suddenly it becomes shocking content which is a specially interesting because you can find on you tube on facebook you find former sheria judges saying that you know beheadings are normal trying to justify biden's you can find adam will cool. the videos you can find violence but a documentary about the horrors of isis is now shocking. there was also an incident with r.t. arabic where they published a video just a news radio interview no no no comment no nothing about medication to do for treating covert you know heavy sort of you could cases that was struck down by you tube because it apparently. violated the this information rules so odds he appealed

the appeal was struck down again and this is this is there's a chain of these incidents there's a pattern where odds he or russian media a targeted with all these rules that are there in writing that they think up and that he is suddenly. in violation of so you know it's certainly a worrying but i suppose our legal department will be filing notices. let's delve further into the story now to welcome live on to the program former pennsylvania state senator bruce marks our legal media list lytle gentlemen welcome to you both can we kick off with you some will argue you chub owned by google is a private company so their platform their rules but when other news sites have the same video posted without any issue without any warning as we've just been told by

the correspondent are we wrong to be perplexed by this for. you know there have been times in our american history when people have claimed that because they were private institutions in private concerns and commercial concerns if they could allow in people who may want it or black people you can come in you can sit there well the civil rights act came along as you know even though you're a private you're a private concern you must entertain people google and you. you tube and other other platforms like this are of such in the main nature that they're almost like utilities today imagine if you're on the phone almost on your phone drops because you dared mention hydroxy couric way or said something in favor of donald trump you wouldn't have it and if you totally said well maybe you should start your own phone company he would say that's ridiculous so it's time for us to recalibrate and redefine what these platforms are they're not they're not the union platform this

is you tube this is international it's more than that and these distinctions have to change bruce donald trump as we all know has been declared toxic essentially by most platforms since the storming of the capital how much has the former president brought this on himself by his repeated declarations that the election was stolen. i don't think he's brought it upon himself at all and of course as your audience knows from prior programs and i'm an attorney who's represented donald trump and the u.s. supreme court he hasn't brought it upon himself because he's doing what he's allowed to do under the u.s. constitution we have the 1st amendment it protects freedom of speech doesn't protect speech simply because it's right it doesn't protect speech just because it's popular it protects all speech so i don't think he's brought it upon himself at all i think he's absolutely entitled to his opinion whether it's right or wrong that the election was stolen lionel what do you think lies at the heart of you

chips policy here is that by targeting trump our team or perhaps a chance to kill one birds 2 birds with one stone. yes all of the above i if i could. take this out of the tournament and and agree 100 percent imagine if years ago when thurgood marshall repeatedly went to court after court it was denied and denied the right to end discrimination or desegregation or segregation in schools imagine brown against board of education if somebody would said would you stop mentioning the fact that you have some right courts have already ruled shut up you can't bring this up we have already said you have no right to integration this is un-american you keep fighting until you get what you want i've never heard that this being dispositive that we had the great odds has spoken there is not one thing

wrong with this election whether it is or isn't and what's happening is that people do this weird form of we're helplessness are becoming immune to the idea that no you can't keep saying i disagree with this and what it is is these agencies these platforms are if you will agencies or instruments of whatever the shadow government the ruling class the deep state i don't know but you're being used as clenching devices to punish people to get online and people love these platforms so much that they will not talk about or think about anything in fear of losing their beloved you tube or facebook or whatever actually know exactly what they're doing produce a similar point to you you tube is chock full of videos with inappropriate and hateful content they aren't removed even when brought to attention some of them why the double standards approach. well there's no doubt that there's

a double standard and as lionel said it's the old they can kill 2 birds or even more than 2 birds with one stone you tube is been biased and again those who control it against against president trump. you know that which was obviously obviously against r.t.d. it what's ludicrous is nobody was telling you to take down all the false statements that adam schiff and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer made about the russia hoax investigation i mean if there's anything that has been demonstrated to be absolutely untrue over the last 4 years is that donald trump didn't conspire with russia to win the 2016 election and wears you tube taking down you know videos that have to do with the infamous steal you know gossip it was just made up absolutely scandalous allegations about donald trump and his hotel room at the ritz carlton in moscow there is a liberal a liberal there is

a liberal organization who will structure in america that wants to suffocate free speech and sadly enough you too and facebook and twitter are part of it but if a 4th hole where running right intended but if you'd like to offer up a few final thoughts it's been a fascinating discussion lytle. there is a parallel issue here to give you an idea to show you the absolute hypocrisy and insanity of this there are people minors who are arguing with various platforms to remove pornographic illegal videos of themselves in gauged in various acts and various platforms are saying we don't see anything against our terms of service it's it's insane but imagine hydroxy couric when dared to repeat the fact that maybe you think an election was not what it was supposed to be dare utter and utilize your free speech and you shut down it's not and we're becoming too used to

what through learned helplessness never stop fighting this is absurd ok we are right out of time thank you both bruce marks former pennsylvania state senator on line a legal media analyst for your time gentlemen today thank you very much our. friends family and neighbors no one should be off a snooping radar when it comes to covert rubric ors least the hoarding to new zealand's prime minister but has informing become yet another symptom of the demick nichiren takes up a story. amid the many lockdowns thousands of face masks and gallons of hand sanitizer coverage is also encourage families and friends to reconnect check in more often to family quizzes but also question who we can really trust in new zealand kiwis have been encouraged to turn detective and report to any rule breakers they come across whether they be your friendly local greengrocer or your dear old grandma even with

a full understanding of human fallibility it is not appropriate and it is not ok a members of the team of 5000000 to let the rest of us down and it seems it's a proven practice remember last year when the shit number of do good snitching on their neighbors was so overwhelming it crashed a police website we've had 4200 reports of people believing compline again it shows. determined. to ensure that everyone complies with us convinced the idea of turning us into a world of informers is the key to compliance leaders across the globe competed for the most creative ways to encourages all to tell allays matt opted for a cash incentive you know the old expression about snitches well in this case snitches get rewards we want to thank you for turning folks in and making sure we are all safe in washington police transformed

a local up for residence into an express line to rat on your neighbor with governor stay home stay healthy order in effect the bellevue police have developed an easy way for residents to report violations reports logged into the my bill view would generate a heat map showing where there are potentially illegal gatherings business activity and it's really such was the strength of the all seeing army they decided to make it official and created $60000.00 jobs for those who felt the need to daub in others and no souls was spared in germany as even politicians felt the wrath of the school you'd think the public might have been appalled by those measures but the enthusiasm was so overwhelming that some police stations in the u.k. were receiving so many calls that they had to create a separate special hotline for the hold of curtain twitching do gooders now there's nothing wrong with asking people to remain vigilant and helpful we all have to do

our bit but what happens when code itself coughs it's lost in the pandemic finally blows over the curtain twitchers will just be left nervously twitching hoping to once again be friends and not enemies. the white employees a little liberal arts college in the us has quit over what she called up the spear of racial discrimination there jody shortline the incident force. i was required to attend training a professional developer retreat and at the training i was asked to talk about my race in the context of my childhood i had asked i told my director beforehand that i'm uncomfortable talking about race in the workplace we're not expected to talk about why it's not legal to ask about race in a job interview so i'm not clear on why we're expected to talk about it as a part of our job so i just said i'm a coder woods talking about race and she said that's fine just don't talk about to say you're uncomfortable so that is exactly what i did at the workshop the

facilitators later told our group that any white person who is resistant to discussing their skin color when requested is not actually uncomfortable what they are doing it is a power play it's called weight fragility and it is power play well this is what the president of the college had to say in response dismissing the claims all of a racially hostile environment was baseless but in her resignation letter judy shaw said the climate of the college shifted dramatically following 'd an incident in 2018 same if you recall this one.

if you don't know you're going on is eating lunch i'm working a summer program so realizing how many calories it's ok is like trying to stuff like this happens way too often where people just feel like. well. 28 in investigation in mind jodi believes that the probe simply stokes racial tensions at school. college is very invested in talking about race in a way that i find is racially hostile and so i believe you for going to talk about race let's talk about it in a meaningful authentic manner which we're not they're not doing presidents i've

curriculum really is a cricket on that teaches students that their identity is actually a social identity which is made up of immutable characteristics that is their race their gender their ethnicity but usually race at smith race is a big one it's essentially telling them that their skin color is their destiny and it's also setting up this strange dynamic or i would even call it a toxic dynamic between students of color and white students in which white students of color can only be free if white students confess their oppressor status or their white privilege as they call it. well it is a term you perhaps have hurting creasing only of late council culture and it seems at buying some of the threat to freedom of speech so much so that one u.s. lawmaker from ohio is calling on congress to look into the issue.

council culture is a dangerous phenomenon whether you agree or disagree with the views been censored if cancel concert continues unchallenged it is not just the unpopular controversial viewpoints that are at risk a recent poll found that 2 thirds of u.s. citizens agree about boycotting or removing certain types of content does pose a threat to freedoms in the country there have been a number of high profile cases over the past year or last week in fact amazon poll the transgender issues by a conservative author from its website platform earlier to democrat representatives called 'd on cable companies to stop posting conservative leaning news channels last year an editor at the new york times resigned over an opinion piece about the b.l.m. protests which of course fury both in. the newsroom well to discuss this

delighted to say we're joined live by reese everson a women's rights. finder be a b.s. in the workplace babes in the workplace a women's rights advocate also we have got lauren chen lauren is host of this pseudo intellectual podcast welcome to you both lauren can we kick off with you cancel culture truly is a divisive issue conservatives tend to see it as one of the most pressing concerns today many liberals say it simply doesn't exist why such a great disparity. well i think the reason why there's such a disparity is because according to a lot of people on the left what we see is cancelled culture is simply people being held accountable for their views which is concerning because a lot of the times what people are being canceled for are run of the mill abuse why should you have to be held accountable for something for example as simple as supporting donald trump as a president or questioning things like election integrity these are not views that you need to be held accountable for in a normal free society that is not by not run by some orwellian tech not kersey and

what's especially concerning is now we're seeing that cancel culture isn't just happening on social media it's actually spilled out into institutions like big tac and amazon and now we even have representatives in the u.s. government demanding that people be silenced and this is not acceptable we cannot have a working public discourse so long as one side is willing to essentially ruin the private lives of anyone who dares to criticize them. people have lost their jobs haven't they because of things tough they said years and years ago a high for is are you afraid that something that you say today could be used against you in the future because that does appear to be the way things may go. here's the truth when we see instances of people like supreme court justices who have done blackface i know that came up in the hearings for one of the supreme court justices recently and you say you learned that 20 years ago in law school he

thought it was funny to put on blackface at a party well we're realizing or questioning is is the moral fabric or integrity of this person sound enough that we want to continue to promote him is he a person that should be held to infer should hold certain position do they have the moral fabric or what it states to sit in certain seats sure but you can tell me do you question my prime minister of canada in the same way for doing the same thing and we should hold our viewers to a higher standard it's the truth because we don't what we don't like is people who don't have you know concern or respect who are the people that they represent we've seen that recently where you had a president you know called people sons of bees and talk down about people of color so at the end of the day what you do want is a person in power who is capable of being respectful of other cut now here's

a question i said things that i think you know in 20 years maybe you'll look and say oh you should have said that while that's true and it makes us all need to be more mindful of how we conduct ourselves and what we say it's not ok to just speak so freely about people of different colors of all different races socioeconomic status or handicaps we need to be mindful that our sometimes he's locals of so many types of people lauren obviously internet platform should remove content that's clearly illegal but when it comes to politically contentious topics it's a big question i know but as concise as you will where do you draw the line or perhaps more pressingly who draws it. well i think that's a great question and i think your guest is referring to the fact that in the past there have been public figures who have said things that are you know racist and we would say prejudice against people like perhaps women or minority racial groups and i'm not trying to say that that's acceptable because it's not but we have to

realize cancell culture has evolved to the point like i said before we're now people are being canceled for run of the mill views and saying you tube or she recently lost a sponsorship over something as simple as supporting president trump which roughly half the american population actually does these aren't people who are being canceled for donning black face by any means and you know additionally i think the problem with cancel culture is that when we're looking into people's past 20 years ago 30 years ago in some cases what does it look like holding people responsible now for things that they have done i mean almost a generation ago can't people change can't people become better people as time goes on cancell culture does not allow for that you come on this program and you tip age old stripes and you have done them for years now and we love you for it but are you afraid it's it's going the opposite way and there's too many people not willing to do that you've got universities not just in the u.s. where d. platforming very much in vogue protesting against someone whose views you don't

agree with or indeed at times even attempting to stop someone talking because they once shared a platform with someone else they don't agree and it's getting out of control no. you know here's the thing and the reaching and the 2 nickels cancel culture you know to some extent have become so far and so wide that we do have to look at can see you know how we will limit it even with you know the limits on free speech there has to be some way in which some test some litmus test for what we think is overreaching into brought into far as far as the limitations of cancel culture but at the same time we have to keep this in mind and we keep this in mind understand cancel culture our society is largely built on racism our society is largely built one things that are just i mean racism is still in several to who america is that if you strip people of that racism seems anti * american and so you have people

holding on to a little better instead he's all know this with my great great grandfather well ok but your great great grandfather believe that black people were ok. and that they should have rights so you know we have to keep in mind that you have a lot of people who only want to ideologies that simply should no longer exist lauren polls are showing that the majority of americans think council culture poses a real threat to freedom so should lawmakers intervene is that 3rd job and impose limits on the practice of no platform is that something you'd like to see. well i mean i am a small government advocate so i'm very hesitant to introduce or want to introduce new legislation but i think what absolutely needs to happen with cancel culture is that a lot of platforms such as facebook and youtube need to be held accountable to either choosing to be a platform or a publisher right now we seen big tech corporations essentially having their cake and eating it too getting to claim section $230.00 protections that grant them

immunity from i guess legal consequences of what their users post but also deciding to cure a content and in a way that i'm sorry but the platform simply do not do and i mean regarding the accusation that america is built on racism i would disagree with that but there are of course racist people out there is the best way to change their minds and improve race relations to simply silence anyone who goes against the narrative or should we actually be doing more to engage with those people and maybe explain why their actions might hurt others or try to change their opinions how many people have had their mind changed by being silenced it just doesn't seem like a long term strategy that will work the last 20 seconds to you today we're not going to continue to coddle racism in america that's simply not the role that we we should probably take it's best that we begin to rip down all of the structures that are harmful whether they are on facebook or a mine in

a park it's time to take those down and move forward and either you're with us or you're not it's time for a few words if you wish just to sum up your position. well i would hate to live in a world where one people or heck even a group of people got to decide what was and wasn't racist and therefore what was and was not acceptable in the public sphere that goes intrinsically against the concept of freedom of expression which is essential if you hope to have a culture in a society where different people with different opinions can actually live peacefully together every severson or thrown funder of spades in the workplace women's rights advocate political analyst lauren chan host of the pseudo intellectual podcast always great to have you on the program thank you both thank you all right more great program is just around the corner to find out what's showing revery you are today in moments i'm you know neal this is art interest.

there is a growing consensus the biden ministration is off to a slow start to date the new president has relied on executive orders this is not unusual but what does that this president apart is the emphasis on what to be called weaponized empathy this is going to straighten has embraced the locust agenda and all of the divisions become with this region. max kaiser this is the cause the report you know stacy this is a momentous day for kaiser report and congress a report on espanyol on r.t. honest waiting they still replay a wart on you tube it's a really fantastic.
