Hi, guys. Welcome back or I

0:02

should probably say welcome back to myself because

0:04

today is first day that officially back on YouTube.

0:06

You might have noticed that I was absent on

0:08

YouTube for the last week. And

0:10

that is because YouTube suspended my channel.

0:13

Yep. They gave me a strike a

0:15

for what they say is medical disinformation,

0:18

which is absolute horse

0:20

hockey. We talked

0:22

a little earlier in the week on rumble, a

0:24

safe place to talk without censorship about

0:27

why their so called medical disinformation accusations

0:29

against me were stupid and

0:31

wrong. you can go over to rumble and see that

0:34

anytime. In fact, that is my subscription ask

0:36

for you for today. If you don't

0:38

mind, go to rumble dot com slash Liz

0:40

Wheeler and hit that subscribe button.

0:42

So if and when YouTube ever

0:45

dares to do that again, we can stay in touch

0:47

and you don't miss episodes or wonder where

0:49

I am. Welcome to the Liz Wheeler

0:51

Show. I'm Liz Wheeler. What I wanna talk

0:53

about today? I wanna talk about Elon

0:56

Musk is taking over Twitter.

0:58

It's official guys. It's real. It's

1:01

happening. I don't know if you're anything like

1:03

me. You wondered when he announced that a

1:05

couple months ago. What roadblocks

1:07

he would run into whether it

1:09

would actually come to fruition. And I feel like

1:11

it's kinda surreal. It's

1:13

kinda surreal that Elon Musk has actually

1:16

purchased Twitter. that this place that we love

1:18

and we hate might actually be restored

1:20

to a marketplace of ideas in

1:22

the political sphere. It's really really steady. So

1:24

I wanna talk about that in a little bit more depth and

1:26

what it means. It's not just oh

1:29

Elon Musk owning the lives in the way only

1:31

a billionaire can. This is really

1:33

significant to our society. I wanna talk

1:35

about that. I also wanna talk about Project

1:37

Veritas. Their

1:39

new release from an FBI

1:42

whistleblower is breathtaking

1:44

as we've come to expect from Jane So Keith and

1:46

his crew, their latest investigation

1:49

shows that the FBI is targeting you

1:51

and me again, shocker. And I

1:53

wanna talk about how that

1:55

impacts or how this will impact the

1:57

twenty twenty two mid term elections?

1:59

I also

2:01

want to talk about PayPal. Let

2:03

me tell you. If you still have money

2:05

in PayPal, get it

2:07

out of there. Get it out of there before

2:09

PayPal steals it from you, for

2:11

the crime of being a conservative, being

2:13

a Christian, really horrendous what

2:15

PayPal has done. I wanna talk about that. And then I wanna talk

2:17

about how everything that I just mentioned, Elon Musk.

2:19

Project Veritas. The FBI, venture

2:21

elections, and PayPal all tie

2:24

together. So let's get to it.

2:36

Okay, guys. I wanna talk to you first about

2:38

what I like about field of greens. So

2:41

back in the day, people grew

2:43

what they ate. I'm talking fresh vegetables

2:45

and fruits. That was the core of people's diets. It's

2:47

it's what they ate. But as Americans

2:49

have become now we eat premade

2:51

processed fast food. It's it's the easy

2:54

stuff. That's why we eat it, but it's not very healthy.

2:56

It's definitely not the six cups of veggies and fruits

2:58

recommended every day. I want to tell you today

3:00

about field of greens. Field of greens

3:02

is packed with a full spectrum of essential

3:04

vegetables and fruits, plus science

3:06

backed herbs and probiotics. This

3:08

is what we need to stay healthy in a world

3:10

where we're maybe too busy to grow our own food.

3:13

Field of greens works fast. You'll

3:15

have more energy. You'll look and feel healthier.

3:17

and it can even help you lose weight. In fact, next

3:19

time you're at the doctor and they compare your old lab

3:21

work to your new lab work, I bet the doc

3:23

will tell you that you crushed it. And you can

3:25

thank field of greens join me and take

3:27

field of greens and help you get started. I got you

3:30

3:47

glad you did. Okay. Before

3:50

we get into the Elon Musk thing, I

3:52

have a little bit of an addendum to yes today's

3:54

episode. Yesterday, we talked about the new

3:56

prime minister of the UK

3:58

Rishi Sunak and the fact

4:00

that he's a freak tied to the World Economic

4:02

Forum. tied to he advocates

4:04

for especially, essentially, a surveillance

4:07

state. He advocates for central

4:09

bank digital currency, which is cryptocurrency

4:11

controlled by a litus like

4:13

Justin Trudeau. And

4:15

we talked about his financial conflict of interest.

4:18

After we filmed that episode, I was still

4:20

thinking about this and I

4:22

realized, I found

4:24

another insane conflict of

4:26

interest that actually rounds out Ricusenac's entire

4:29

character, so I wanted to add that

4:31

little addendum today to

4:33

yesterday's episode. Here

4:34

it is.

4:35

Rishi Sunak refused

4:38

a couple of years ago, to

4:40

disclose whether or not he

4:43

personally would profit from

4:45

Moderna's mRNA COVID vaccine.

4:48

This is when he was he he was serving

4:50

already in in UK government. He wasn't the prime

4:52

minister, but remember, Moderna?

4:56

has only ever brought one product

4:58

to market. This company as a whole, the

5:00

only product that they have is the mRNA, COVID

5:02

vaccine, Rishi Sunak, And

5:04

I wanna

5:04

read this directly from the Guardian. They say Sunak was

5:07

a founding partner of Thalim

5:09

Partners, a

5:10

major investor in Moderna, and one of the executives

5:12

managing its office. He left the firm in two

5:14

thousand thirteen returning to the UK to pursue his

5:16

political career. It's not known whether

5:18

the chancellor retained any investment

5:20

in the Thalim fund after leaming after

5:23

leaving because Thalim is a registered entity

5:25

in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven

5:28

which does not make company records public.

5:30

The Guardian writes ordinarily a partner in a hedge fund

5:32

would own a stake in the management company

5:34

and have money invested in its fund. A

5:36

year ago, Sunev

5:37

declared in a list of ministers' interest

5:40

that he was the beneficiary of a blind

5:42

trust. The contents of the trust have not

5:44

been disclosed to the public, Stock

5:45

market filings show that Thalim has

5:47

a five hundred million

5:50

dollar investment in Moderna, which

5:52

accounts for around twenty percent of all the money it

5:54

manages, about two point five billion dollars

5:57

I read that and I was like, what?

5:58

What?

5:59

Hello,

6:01

British people? Do you understand

6:03

what this means? the government of the

6:05

United Kingdom has purchased

6:07

literally billions of doses of the

6:09

Moderna vaccine. What

6:11

if? The person who is

6:13

now the prime minister of the government

6:15

of the United Kingdom is continuing

6:18

to purchase vaccines

6:20

that he personally profits from.

6:22

Even if it's in a blind trust, I don't care.

6:25

I

6:27

mean, holy Holy,

6:30

holy, oh my word.

6:32

The corruption of this

6:34

round it rounds out everything we talked about yesterday.

6:36

Right? how he he essentially wants

6:38

this global elite to control everything.

6:41

He prases the war he prases continuing

6:43

the war in Ukraine. He prases the vaccine

6:45

mandates. And with the rollout of the vaccines,

6:47

I should say, in the United Kingdom, he's

6:49

tied to the World Economic Forum. He wants to reshape

6:51

the economy into a stakeholder economy.

6:53

Claus Schwab's version of this, and

6:56

he very possibly profits

6:58

off of the Moderna vaccine that

7:00

the UK government that he's now administering

7:02

purchases. This

7:04

is like

7:05

corruption at a level that's

7:07

hard to even describe, except of

7:09

course, think about it from this perspective. Here

7:11

in the United States, The Senate Committee on

7:14

Health issued a report

7:16

saying that they believe that COVID-nineteen, the virus,

7:18

SARS CoV-two, actually leaked from a

7:20

lab. So my first reaction to seeing this headline

7:22

was, yeah, no kidding. Like, two

7:24

years behind US Congress. This

7:26

is what their report says. Based on

7:28

the analysis of the publicly available information,

7:31

it appears reasonable to conclude that the

7:33

COVID-nineteen pandemic was more likely than

7:35

not the result of a research related

7:37

incident. Yes.

7:41

Thank you for that senate committee

7:43

on hell. Thank you for that revelation.

7:45

But zooming out here for a second,

7:47

this is

7:49

intricately tied to

7:52

Rishi Sudhakar, the prime minister of the UK's,

7:54

invest meant in Moderna. Because

7:56

think about this, the US government

7:58

gave our taxpayer money

8:00

to eco health alliance, Peter Daseck's

8:02

eco health alliance that gave that money,

8:04

our money to the Wuhan Institute of Neurology,

8:06

to conduct gain of function research that

8:08

Fauci lied about. He claimed it wasn't gain of

8:10

function research, but we know he knows it was gain

8:12

of function research. to juice up viruses.

8:14

From that, what is the total virology?

8:17

This virus leaked whether or

8:19

not they had been tampering with it. Well, that's

8:21

yet to be determined. But What do

8:23

you think? Do you think it had been tampered

8:25

with or do you think that this was a wildly

8:27

occurring virus? I certainly know what

8:29

I think. we

8:31

paid for that. Our government paid for that.

8:33

And now the United States or

8:35

the United Kingdom's Prime Minister

8:37

is profiting. These elitist

8:39

are profiting over the so

8:41

called cure for

8:43

the virus that they paid

8:45

to create. This

8:48

is like sci

8:49

fi level stuff.

8:52

This is nasty, weird,

8:55

weird level stuff. a little

8:57

addendum to yesterday's show. If you didn't watch

8:59

yesterday's show, go back, listen to

9:01

I know Rishi is not claims to be a conservative. He's part

9:03

of the conservative party. He is no

9:05

such thing. He has a really, really shady background.

9:08

Go and take a listen to that if you haven't already.

9:10

Okay. Elon Musk. Let's talk about Elon

9:12

Musk. Elon Musk issued a

9:14

statement to Twitter advertisers after

9:17

he after he on yesterday show, we watched

9:19

that video of Elon Musk walking into

9:21

Twitter headquarters carrying the kitchen carrying the

9:23

kitchen sink, he said, entering Twitter

9:25

HQ, let that sink in.

9:27

Funny dad fun. And the

9:29

day after he issued a

9:31

statement to the advertisers that are

9:33

an integral part of Twitter, actually

9:35

talking about why he wanted to acquire

9:37

Twitter. there's been a lot speculation about the

9:39

why behind what he's done, but he's never

9:41

actually said in long

9:43

form why he's doing what he's doing. So I wanna

9:45

read that with you right now. Eelon

9:48

said, I wanted to reach out personally

9:50

to share my motivation in acquiring

9:52

Twitter. There has been much

9:54

speculation about why I bought Twitter

9:56

and what I think about advertising, most of

9:58

it has been wrong. The reason

9:59

I

9:59

acquired Twitter is because it is

10:02

important to the future of civilization

10:04

to have a common digital town

10:06

square

10:06

where a wide range of beliefs can be

10:09

debated in a healthy manner without resorting

10:11

to violence. There is

10:11

currently great danger that social

10:14

media will splinter into far right

10:16

wing and far left wing echo chambers

10:18

that generate more hate and divide

10:20

our society. Elan says

10:22

in the relentless pursuit of clicks,

10:24

much of traditional media has fueled

10:26

and catered to those polarized extremes,

10:29

as they believe that is what brings in

10:31

the money. But in doing so, the

10:33

opportunity for dialogues lost.

10:34

That is why I bought Twitter.

10:37

I didn't do it because it would be easy.

10:39

I didn't do it to make more money. I

10:41

did it to try to help humanity whom

10:43

I love. And I do so with

10:45

humility recognizing that failure and pursuing

10:47

this goal despite our best efforts, is a

10:49

very real possibility.

10:51

That said, Twitter obviously cannot become

10:53

a free for all hellscape where anything

10:55

can be said with no consequences. In addition

10:57

to adhering to the laws of our land, our

10:59

platform must be warm and welcoming

11:01

to all, where you can choose your desired

11:03

experience according to your preferences just

11:05

as you can choose, for example, to see movies

11:07

or play video games ranging from all ages

11:10

to mature. I also very

11:12

much believe he said that

11:14

advertising when done right can

11:16

delight, entertain, and inform you.

11:18

It can show you a service or product or

11:20

medical treatment that you never knew

11:22

existed, but is right for you. For this

11:24

to be true, it is essential to show Twitter

11:26

users advertising that is as

11:28

relevant as possible to their needs.

11:30

Low relevancy ads are spam and highly

11:32

relevant ads are actually content.

11:34

Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most

11:36

respected advertising platform in the

11:38

world that strengthens your brand and grows

11:40

your enterprise. To

11:42

everyone who has partnered with us, I thank

11:44

you. Let us build something extraordinary

11:47

together. I don't know

11:49

about you guys. But I kind of get

11:51

the chills when I read that. Because

11:53

Elon Musk, he's not conservative. He's

11:55

not right wing. But he understands

11:58

that it's not just a matter

12:00

of conservatives

12:02

feeling unwelcome or conservatives

12:04

being censored in that personally

12:06

annoying or liberal

12:09

employees at Twitter deliberately

12:11

for

12:12

personal reasons trying to silence

12:14

conservatives and views that they don't like, he understands that this

12:16

is much bigger than you and

12:18

I. That this is

12:20

actually censorship and cancel culture, which

12:22

is what we're seeing play out on

12:24

Twitter right now is

12:27

actually a fundamental threat to our

12:29

citing. He identifies actually

12:31

one specific thing

12:33

that he wants to bring back

12:35

to Twitter where the real value of

12:38

a public square digital

12:41

forum lies. I

12:43

wanna talk about that in just a second. But first, I wanna talk

12:45

to you about beam organics. Did

12:47

you know that poor sleep can cause weight

12:50

gain? lude issues, poor mental health,

12:52

and lower productivity, and then if you sleep less

12:54

than six to seven hours per night, it's actually

12:56

linked to reduce white blood cell count. Why

12:58

blood cells are important? They protect your body against

13:00

illness and disease. Not many

13:02

people realize this, but having a consistent

13:04

nighttime routine is so important.

13:06

A better tomorrow starts tonight. Let me introduce you

13:08

to Beam Dream. Beam is the world's most

13:10

13:12

14:06

one of the things that Elon Musk mentions

14:09

specifically as being

14:12

critically important on

14:14

Twitter if Twitter is to be this

14:16

digital public forum is

14:18

investigative journalism. Individuals

14:21

who are not tied

14:23

to the corporate media, the so

14:25

called mainstream outlets, who

14:27

report important

14:29

stories, who

14:32

expose corruption, and

14:34

who hold entities, whether it's

14:36

politicians or corporations accountable. You

14:38

and I can probably think of any

14:40

number of these people from lives of TikTok

14:42

to Christopher Ruffo to

14:44

Project Veritas. Now, I don't need to

14:46

introduce you to Project Veritas. You, I'm

14:48

sure, are familiar with Project Veritas. It's

14:50

James O'Keefe's investigative journalism

14:53

operation, they conduct the the

14:55

undercover camera stings of

14:57

influential people, whether these are employees of Twitter,

14:59

whether they are campaign staff, whether

15:01

they are politicians themselves,

15:04

whatever whatever it may be, people who are

15:06

in positions power and infusing that power James

15:08

O'Keefe sends his investigative journalist in

15:10

for honest conversations, records

15:14

secretly records these conversations,

15:17

and then Airstem, this is

15:19

undercover journalism at its finest

15:21

while Project Veritas is currently banned

15:23

on Twitter. James O'Keefe is likewise

15:25

banned on Twitter. Most of James O'Keefe's

15:27

content, his staff has also been banned

15:29

on on Twitter. His content is

15:31

unwelcome on Twitter under

15:33

the well, I I guess we can call

15:35

it the previous administrators of Twitter now

15:37

that Elon Musk owns it, now that Elon is the

15:39

current administrator. But Project

15:41

Veritas is a perfect example of this. And

15:43

what Project Veritas released just

15:45

this week was FBI whistleblower

15:48

documents, a whistleblower at the

15:50

FBI came to project Veritas and

15:52

said, listen, I have something that you're gonna

15:54

wanna see. I have proof that

15:56

the FBI is targeting

15:58

conservatives In the lead

15:59

up to the twenty twenty two midterm

16:02

elections, specifically surrounding the midterm

16:04

elections, and this whistleblower gave

16:06

to James O'Keefe, a picture of an

16:08

internal FBI document. Now, this this

16:10

document is a

16:12

handout at the FBI telling agents

16:14

how to spot

16:16

election crimes leading up to the mid

16:18

term elections on November eighth. And you can see this

16:20

on your screen right now. You can see that there

16:22

are A number of

16:24

categories of crimes, some of which are

16:26

valid. The first one is campaign finance.

16:29

Law violations, that's valid. If you if you

16:31

go down to the third one, there's election

16:33

influence, election interference, there's

16:35

voter fraud, ballot fraud, voter intimidation,

16:37

voter suppression. Those are all

16:39

very valid crimes that perhaps the FBI would

16:41

do well to investigate a little more

16:43

closely after some of the

16:45

evidence that we've seen in previous elections

16:47

of usually left wing

16:49

activists or Democrats engaging

16:51

in these crimes. But if you

16:53

look at the second category, and

16:55

the 1234 the fifth category,

16:58

you will see

17:00

misinformation and disinformation

17:03

listed. And how does the FBI in this

17:05

internal document describe disinformation? They

17:07

say false or inaccurate information

17:11

intended to mislead others.

17:13

Disinformation campaigns on social media are

17:15

used to deliberately confuse,

17:17

trick, or upset the public. misinformation

17:20

is defined as false or

17:22

misleading information spread mistakenly

17:26

or unintentionally.

17:27

So my

17:29

first question here is

17:33

who exactly is the arbiter

17:35

of truth? Who determines what

17:38

is true and what is not. I

17:40

understand that there's objective truth, but there's

17:42

also opinion. There's also

17:44

a divergence of world

17:47

view that is at play in our midterm

17:49

elections. Let's use abortion as an example

17:51

and transgenderism as an

17:53

example. In the abortion debate, Pro

17:56

lifers say, well, life begins a conception

17:58

biologically a new human life is formed at the moment

17:59

that an egg fuses with this firm and becomes,

18:02

you know, a unique DNA, a

18:04

unique person. The proportion side says

18:06

a baby is not a baby, not a

18:08

unique human being from the moment of conception, but

18:10

only when the mother desires that

18:12

child. So who determines? Which is true and which is not?

18:14

With the FBI? The

18:17

same FBI that came after

18:20

Trump, same FBI that's raiding pro lifers, I

18:22

don't think so. What about the

18:24

transgender issue? You and

18:26

I understand that a

18:28

boy is a boy and a girl is a girl, but the left thinks that a boy

18:31

can be a girl if he wants to be a girl and a girl can

18:33

be a boy if she feels like a boy. So

18:35

who's the arbiter of truth? Who determines

18:37

what's what's disinformation or

18:39

misinformation and and the intention behind

18:41

it, this is really scary stuff.

18:43

This is like authoritarian type

18:45

stuff. and misinformation that

18:47

you you mistakenly or unintentionally

18:49

spread false information that can constitute

18:51

an election crime. So basically,

18:54

If you post a post

18:56

on Twitter and you're mistaken about

18:58

a hot button issue,

19:01

or not even mistaken. You say something that

19:03

the left disagrees with your definition of the

19:05

word. That could cause an FBI agent to

19:07

raid your home. Is that what I'm

19:10

seeing here? This kind of

19:12

corruption, let me just tell you, this kind of

19:14

corruption is distasteful

19:16

and off putting to everyone.

19:18

There might be a very fringe minority on the

19:20

left who want the FBI to raid

19:22

the home of pro lifers, but most

19:24

people don't. Most normal people even normal

19:27

Democrats don't want think that's an abuse of reason

19:29

they don't care about that is because they don't know

19:31

about it. The reason they don't know about it is

19:33

because on platforms like

19:36

Twitter where previously investigative

19:38

journalists thrived. Those

19:40

investigative journalists have been silenced and censored

19:43

and canceled so that information is

19:45

stifled and people don't hear about it. The

19:47

mainstream media, of course, the corporate media won't wouldn't

19:50

touch this. But this this is one

19:52

of the most important parts of what Elon Musk is

19:54

doing here. As

19:56

he understands that

19:58

investigative journalism

19:59

it

19:59

Independent journalists

20:03

are incredibly powerful. Perhaps the

20:05

most powerful people in our entire country. Again,

20:07

think of LEMS of TikTok. Do you think the vast majority of

20:09

people in our country would believe that

20:11

drag queen's story hours were happening in

20:13

the library near you, that

20:15

kindergarteners at your local elementary school are

20:17

being doc traded into queer

20:19

theory if she hadn't posted video

20:21

after video after video after video

20:23

of these groomer teachers grooming your children,

20:25

admitting that they groom your children. I

20:27

would argue that no, they wouldn't. Now

20:30

we get to PayPal. PayPal

20:32

is another example of this. PayPal,

20:34

if you have money in PayPal, I

20:36

give you full permission. You hit the

20:38

pause button right now on YouTube. You hit the

20:40

pause button right now on Apple. You hit the

20:42

pause button on Spotify. You hit the pause button

20:44

on rumble. You hit a pause

20:46

button on local wherever you're listening and you go get your

20:49

money out of PayPal. Trust

20:51

me. Get your money out of PayPal

20:53

a couple weeks ago. a

20:55

leaked document from PayPal, set the Internet

20:59

ablaze because this leaked document was

21:01

an updated user

21:03

agreement terms of service for YouTube

21:05

or for PayPal, in which PayPal

21:08

reserved the right to

21:10

find you two

21:12

thousand five hundred dollars. To

21:14

remove two thousand five hundred dollars from your account, just

21:16

siphon it out.

21:17

it If you

21:18

were engaging in misinformation

21:21

or disinformation or information related

21:23

activities. The outcry

21:25

was so loud that PayPal said, no.

21:27

No. No. No. You're not you're not correct. You made

21:29

a mistake. We've made a mistake. meant to

21:31

publish these. These these are not our terms of service.

21:33

Like, this was just some internal document that

21:35

was discussed, but it's not it's not real.

21:38

And a lot of conservatives were like, uh-huh,

21:40

sure. And a

21:41

lot of

21:42

conservatives left PayPal. A

21:45

lot of people were like, Well, maybe PayPal's being held accountable. Let's

21:47

just see how this plays out. Well, fast forward

21:49

two weeks, and PayPal actually added

21:53

this to their real terms of service. No

21:55

denying this corruption now. They

21:57

actually say you can see this on the

21:59

screen. They show you can see their terms of

22:01

service and then you can

22:03

see what they define

22:06

as bad behavior. So if you're

22:08

engaging in, let's say,

22:10

political activism, maybe you have a

22:12

consulting firm. Maybe you work for a

22:14

campaign. Maybe maybe I don't know. Maybe you're a right

22:16

wing news outlet and entertainment. I don't know. You

22:18

could do any number of things. If you articulate

22:20

anything related to transgenderism, you

22:22

articulate anything related to abortion.

22:24

You articulate anything related to

22:26

border security, illegal immigration,

22:28

any of the left hot button issues that they

22:31

claim make the rights for

22:33

wanting a secured border, wanting to protect life, wanting

22:35

to protect boys and girls, little boys

22:37

and girls, They would deem that as

22:39

intolerant and discriminatory, and they

22:41

would drain your PayPal

22:43

account of your money

22:45

It's in the PayPal terms of service. And this

22:47

is not a government entity. Right? Paypal? It's

22:49

a private business. How do you

22:51

hold them accountable? You hold them

22:54

accountable by independent

22:57

journalists, investigative journalists

22:59

blasting this story to Kingdom

23:02

com. circulating the stories so that the

23:04

people that use PayPal, not just

23:06

a not just a minority of people

23:08

who are very highly tuned into politics and

23:10

hear about this stuff. so

23:12

that everybody hears about this.

23:14

Because it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat

23:16

voter, Republican voter. The only

23:18

people that support these kind of policies

23:20

are very very far leftists. The

23:22

elitist who want to control us, the politicians

23:24

who want to control us,

23:26

and the crazy march who

23:28

support them. But the vast majority of voters aren't crazy marxists,

23:30

even voters on the left.

23:32

But without

23:35

a public square, a digital

23:37

forum that serves as a public square,

23:39

like Twitter under Elon will be,

23:41

this kind of story. just falls

23:43

to the wayside. It's lit's left on the cutting

23:45

room floor. The mainstream media is not gonna cover

23:47

it. It has to be covered by

23:50

you and by me. We

23:52

understand what the left wants

23:54

for us. We understand that this is

23:56

not a coincidence. This is not an

23:58

an isolated incident of one company

24:00

Paypal targeting us or

24:02

one FBI agent being a bad apple

24:04

going after a conservative. No, we understand

24:06

that this is a systemic world view

24:08

from the left. They hate us. They

24:10

have labeled us as extremists. They don't want

24:13

us to be able to participate in society.

24:15

And again, this is

24:17

not an inference that I am drawing, we

24:19

can see this happening before our very

24:21

eyes. We're gonna talk about that in just a second. But

24:23

first, I wanna talk to you about upside upside

24:25

is a great new app that I've been using and I I wanna share

24:27

it with you because we've all been cringing, right, at the

24:30

gas pump or, you

24:32

know, groaning when we get that eye popping check after eating

24:34

out at our favorite restaurant because inflation is

24:36

hitting us all where it hurts. It really hurts.

24:38

That's why I actually started using

24:40

upside upside is an incredible app

24:42

for anyone who buys gas or buys groceries

24:44

or dines out. So, you know,

24:46

all of us. With every purchase, I'm

24:48

actually earning cash back

24:50

thanks to upside. And and by the way,

24:52

it's not too good to be true. I've used it. It

24:54

works. To get started, all you have to do is

24:56

download the free upside app and, yes,

24:59

it's free. Use my promo code Liz five, and you can

25:01

get five dollars or more, cash back on your

25:03

first purchase of ten dollars or more.

25:05

Here's how it works. You claim

25:07

an offer, For whatever you're buying on

25:09

upside, you just check-in at the business, you pay as

25:11

usual at the business with a credit or

25:13

debit card, and then you get paid

25:15

by upside. In

25:17

comparison to credit card rewards or

25:19

loyalty programs, you can earn three times more

25:21

cash back with upside. It's a pretty

25:23

good deal. Upside users are earning more

25:25

than a million dollars every week.

25:27

So download the free upside app and use

25:29

promo code Liz five to get five dollars or

25:31

more cash back on your first purchase of ten

25:33

dollars or more That's

25:35

five dollars or more cash back on your

25:37

first purchase of ten dollars or more if you

25:39

use my promo code list five.

25:41

But first, download the free

25:43

upside app. Okay. So, congresswoman Myra

25:45

Flores from the state of

25:46

Texas is a

25:48

Republican Latina congresswoman

25:52

And she has been booted from

25:54

the congressional Hispanic caucus, which is

25:56

kind of laughable because she's

25:59

Hispanic. She's Latina. I mean,

26:01

I don't know what else you want me to say. I don't know if you

26:03

can be like very, very litigated or very,

26:05

very Hispanic. There's no superlative that you can

26:07

add to that. She is his She's Latina. That should be

26:09

the only barrier to entry to be congressional

26:12

Hispanic caucus. But the Democrats

26:14

in charge of the congressional Hispanic

26:16

caucus have determined that

26:18

she is not politically a Hispanic. She

26:20

does not politically align with

26:22

what they believe a Hispanic woman

26:25

should should it be? And so they have kicked

26:27

her out of the congressional Hispanic caucus

26:30

because she is a Republican. That is the

26:32

only reason because she is a Republican

26:34

She had the most hilarious response, which I wanna read

26:36

just because it made me laugh.

26:38

She tweeted my thoughts after the

26:40

rejection by the congressional Hispanic caucus.

26:43

Maybe I'm not the right type of taco. I

26:45

read that. I thought,

26:48

oh, well, that's hilarious. Yes. That's not only

26:50

witty, but it also shows that the

26:52

that the Democrats play identity politics.

26:54

They view Hispanic people,

26:56

Latino people, as as

26:58

this this this units this

27:00

monolithic unit that all has to think the

27:02

same based on their their heritage or the

27:04

color of their skin, it's so

27:06

insulting. This is what the left thinks of

27:09

us though. This is not an isolated

27:11

incident. This is how the left wants us

27:13

to be treated. If you have a certain color

27:15

skin or a certain ethnic background, then

27:17

they do not want you to be included.

27:19

in

27:21

your ethnic background in

27:23

groups that represent your ethnic

27:26

background if you happen to be Republican. This

27:29

is this is social ostracization. This is

27:31

this is they're trying to force group think on you.

27:33

They're stereotyping them. This

27:35

is insulting. So we see that

27:37

based on the color of our skin. We see

27:39

PayPal based on our political affiliation.

27:41

We see the FBI weaponized

27:43

against us based on or

27:45

dissent against Democrat candidates. This

27:48

is I mean, this is all stuff

27:50

that has happened just in the space of the

27:52

past two days.

27:54

And so, of course, that means there's a million other

27:57

examples that fit this bill, but

27:59

this is why it's so

28:01

important. It's monumental. what

28:04

Elon Musk is doing by buying

28:06

Twitter. And by recognizing

28:08

that the value of Twitter

28:11

as a digital public square

28:13

lies in the independent journalists

28:16

conducting investigative pieces that are

28:18

ignored by the corporate media. Because

28:20

all of these different elements

28:22

are corruption. Right? The FBI is

28:24

corrupt. The congressional Hispanic caucus is

28:26

corrupt. PayPal is corrupt. With this

28:28

poisonous ideology of Marxism, that

28:31

that plays out through their

28:33

identity politics. And

28:35

most people in our country

28:37

don't want that. Most

28:40

Democrats don't want that. Most

28:42

Republicans don't want that. Most

28:44

Liberals, most Conservatives, unless their

28:46

elected officials don't want

28:48

that. And so the old adage that

28:50

sunlight is the best disinfectant is actually

28:52

the case here.

28:54

It's it's The more that

28:56

we can talk about this, the more we can circulate

28:58

these stories, the more likely it is that

29:01

these institutions will feel

29:03

pressured not to behave in a

29:05

bad way. Also,

29:07

also, and this is

29:09

zooming out even further. There have

29:11

been a lot of alternative infrastructure

29:13

that have been built in the past few

29:16

years as the left has become

29:18

to sensor and cancel and

29:20

try to ostracize people whose

29:22

views they don't want you to

29:24

hear. And that's a good thing to build this

29:26

alternative infrastructure. It's a bold

29:28

work. It's it's the way that we it's a bold

29:30

work against being completely

29:33

canceled. It's the way that we hedge our bets. I

29:35

do this too. Most

29:37

conservatives, it was the way that we hedge our

29:39

bets against being

29:41

told that we're not allowed to believe what we believe and

29:43

we're not allowed to say what we believe, we're not allowed

29:45

to speak the truth, being told that we're hateful and racist,

29:47

and that's fine. But

29:49

at the same time, what that does when we

29:52

have conservative social

29:54

media and liberal social media,

29:57

or

29:58

conservative

29:59

banks and liberal banks.

30:02

Is it creates a segregated

30:05

society? And we

30:07

shouldn't want a segregated

30:09

society. We shouldn't have

30:11

Republican restaurants and Democrat

30:14

restaurants Republican banking

30:16

institutions and Democrat banking institutions.

30:18

Republican social media platforms and Democrat

30:20

social media platforms. We shouldn't want

30:22

to live like that. We

30:24

are one country

30:26

and one people. And the one

30:28

people, we can be made up of

30:30

very very different viewpoints, but

30:32

we shouldn't want to

30:34

be segregated in every

30:36

aspect of our lives from people

30:38

who disagree

30:40

with us. And so it's

30:42

this conundrum a little

30:44

bit of building these alternative this

30:46

alternative economy to

30:49

being canceled while also

30:51

understanding that truly the

30:53

solution to

30:55

the problem isn't

30:57

just building the alternative infrastructure.

30:59

The solution to the problem is

31:02

taking over the

31:04

existing infrastructure that's problematic.

31:06

And that is

31:08

what Elon Musk is doing. Elon

31:11

Musk is maybe the first to do

31:13

this in a significant way. to

31:15

say, look, Twitter is and

31:17

will be the largest platform

31:19

for political speech online in our country.

31:21

The most powerful online

31:23

platform for political speech in our country. And right now,

31:26

it's unfair. Right now, it's

31:28

unjust. Right now, it's tyrannical

31:30

and sure you can build alternatives, that's fine.

31:33

It gives people who have already been canceled a

31:35

voice. But truthfully, we should

31:37

take Twitter and we should

31:39

fix

31:40

it. And

31:43

that's the most powerful thing. that

31:45

you can possibly do to fight back

31:47

in this culture war, and Elon Musk is

31:49

doing it. Alright.

31:52

all right Now it's time for our video of

31:54

the day, and let's just say this one is

31:56

a real doozy. Let's talk about

31:59

dating preferences.

31:59

This

32:00

video was so good, you must watch

32:03

it, and I want to branch off and

32:05

talk about how it relates to fat

32:07

phobia and dating. A lot of times when people are

32:09

asked, why don't you date, fat people,

32:11

trans people, people of color,

32:13

whatever, they will say it's just a

32:15

preference I'm just not attracted to them. I can't make myself

32:17

be attracted to someone I'm just not attracted

32:19

to. The implication here being that

32:21

preferences are innate unchanging and

32:24

completely independent of any

32:26

outside factors or societal

32:28

norms. And therefore, that they are

32:30

inherently unproblematic. Like,

32:32

it's

32:32

not fat phobia. It's just who I am.

32:34

I can't help it. But I think

32:36

it's

32:36

actually a lot more complicated than

32:39

that. Our desires are not immune

32:41

to social conditioning. Although, of

32:43

course, you can't change your sexual

32:45

orientation. When we see a certain

32:47

type of body, glorified, praised

32:49

and labeled as desirable in media

32:52

from the time that we can

32:54

even process those messages, it's

32:56

not gonna not have an impact

32:58

on us. and the

33:00

fact is at least anecdotally lots of people report

33:02

being desired by many

33:05

people. But the piece that isn't there is

33:07

the social acceptance. And

33:09

again, that's also true for other marginalized identities.

33:12

Maybe you are sexually attracted to

33:14

fat people, but you can't see yourself

33:16

in a romantic relationship with

33:18

one because you've never seen that replicated in media.

33:20

Or maybe you love a fat person, but

33:22

you're too afraid of what your friends and family would

33:24

say if you introduce them

33:26

or you're too afraid of what it would say about

33:28

you to be with someone who is lower on

33:30

the desirability totem pole.

33:33

Wait a second. Wait a second.

33:34

Wait a second. So she says

33:36

that you can't change your sexual orientation.

33:39

You can't change who you're attracted to,

33:41

but she also says

33:43

If you're not attracted to morbidly

33:46

obese people, then you

33:48

are the problem. Society

33:51

has created you and your

33:53

attraction and you should change your

33:55

attraction. These people are too much.

33:57

Absolutely too much. You can't

33:59

make yourself attracted to people that you're

34:01

not attracted to, the

34:03

logical conclusion of what she's saying. Because

34:05

remember, she's not just talking about morbidly

34:07

obese. people here. She actually included trans people and people of color. So

34:09

let's let's just focus on the trans people for just

34:11

a second. The logical conclusion of what

34:13

this crazy woman is

34:15

saying is that If

34:18

you say you're a man, if you are

34:20

not attracted to a

34:22

another biological man who is

34:24

simply identifies and dresses

34:26

like a woman, then that

34:28

is a problematic lack of

34:30

attraction by you, created

34:32

by society, transphobic and you

34:34

really should be attracted to this person because

34:37

this crazy woman says that you

34:39

should be attracted to another man who says he's

34:41

a woman and that is a

34:44

real The logical conclusion of this is

34:45

absolutely bananas, which is why it's the bananas

34:48

video of the day.

34:50

Also, also, morbid

34:52

obesity is really, really

34:54

unhealthy. So there is this, like,

34:56

instinctual element of human nature

34:58

that finds

35:00

morbid obesity, less sexually attractive

35:02

than a healthy body. Doesn't

35:05

That's not a commentary on

35:08

the of people who suffer from obesity. It's not a commentary on the fact

35:10

that we should show people who are obese

35:12

respect. Of course not. But

35:14

it is just

35:16

a biological element, sort of

35:18

an evolutionary element that we recognize that being morbidly

35:20

obese is incredibly unhealthy. but,

35:24

you know, she's not interested in the truth. She's just interested in pretending she's a

35:26

victim. That is the bananas video of the day. Thank

35:28

you for watching today. Thank you for listening. I'm Liz
