It wasn't their side.

You know, here's the thing, when you start censoring art, when you start censoring artists, you know, it's again, it's, it's another further way to add in more censorship and suppression, uh, su- suppression on a free thought.
8:01
Now, a- again, you know, if you're easily offended by the words of "Free Palestine," fine, where's your counterargument? Okay, you're allowed to do that in this country.
8:09
You're allowed to have free speech, but I don't recall, again, all the times, you again, Macklemore is, is probably a very well successful, famous artist.
8:17
I don't see him losing millions and millions and millions of fans because of his comments, because he's been consistent about it.
8:23
He has a right to say it.
8:25
Now, in turn, there's a thing called the First Amendment, while it still exists in this country.

Oh, but did I mention the price of diesel fuel is up to $94 billion per liter?" Kidding.
51:45
Yeah, they said that's what they were looking for.
51:47
That, that is, that is a very serious allegation.
51:49
Unless there is overwhelming proof of, of him committing this crime or, or, or crimes in that nature, it needs to be shared immediately.
51:58
J- you just can't say, "Well, we think." Well, I could think that somebody's, has a suitcase, there's a bomb in it.
52:04
Yeah.
52:04
Or I could think that there's illegal drugs in the other suitcase, or I could think that there's firearms in another suitcase.
52:10
You, you gotta have the evidence and proof.
52:12
You just can't say, "Well, we think it's on your phone.
49:30
Your thoughts, Keke Bella.
49:32
Yeah, of course.
49:33
Well, first of all, what I'd like to say to my colleagues, our colleagues who are conservative and libertarian, and you guys should be vocally against this because this is what happened to a lot of people from 2016, dare I say, to 2024, at the height of the latte-drinking liberal- liberals who were snowflakes and wanted to do cancel culture and censorship and suppression, not only on the right, which happened a lot, but also on the left as well.
49:55
I mean, there was a lot of times, I mean, where you had people being censored and canceled, and I remember giving this warning way, way, way back in the day, I think 2017, where those that are cheerleading for the censorship and suppression of anyone, be they on your side or either that on the right, uh, you are now signing your own death warrant for this very same system to be used against you.
50:16
And what we are witnessing here is a mutated, evolved form of what we saw in the last eight years of, uh, the cancel culture and suppression that was happening throughout all social media, throughout all the adpocalypse that happened on YouTube, to all the changes that's been happening, 'cause YouTube used to be completely different, and now we're seeing it weaponized again.
50:35
And it was weaponized heavily in 2020 to 2024, where a lot of people in our sphere, especially those on the left, were really being censored.
50:43
There are channels that I've collaborated with that are heavily suppressed, censored, or permanently demonetized.

You've been banking for years.
49:22
[laughs]
49:22
You see it, when you see a Flock camera going down, and let me explain it, this is scientifically accurate.
49:28
I, I will debate you, Jimmy, Mishka, I'm calling you out here too.
49:33
When you see a Flock camera down, it's climate change.
49:36
See, the wind pressure just got really sharp and knocked down the poles, and that's why.
49:40
And when you see it, just be like, "Ah, it's climate change." Why is it happening in all these different neighborhoods, all these different communities, red and blue states? It's because people don't like having their Fourth Amendment rights being taken away from them.
49:52
But yet, you had on the PBD podcast one guy saying, "Oh, you don't, you don't really have the right to privacy." Yes, I do.
49:59
Yes, I do.
7:35
Yeah.
7:35
You, you could get the, the menace of fear there.
7:37
And I find it interesting that you have the same Trump administration now saying or indicating that there's hoaxes or that there's some fake news, when I could just rewind back the clocks to 2019 when all this started, and a lot of conservative right-wing channels were talking about this.
7:52
Yes, people on the left were talking about it, too, but a lot of people made their bones, got all the figgy pudding, all the viewership, all the subscribers, all the donations, talking about the Epstein files.
8:02
And as soon as Trump got reelected, they got the memo to shut up.
8:06
And then of course, how can we remember or forget the infamous right-wing influencers jumping up and down-

Mm-hmm

... that he's held accountable.
