welcome back to liberal media freaking
[1]
out over Elon musk's attempt to bring
[3]
Free Speech back to Twitter
[7]
when talking about this it's you know
[8]
it's kind of funny how Elon Musk wants
[10]
to be sure massive life and Globe alter
[14]
altering consequences for just letting
[16]
people run wild on the thing there's
[18]
also a lot of folks out there that say
[19]
you know it's troubling enough that
[21]
private companies control these key
[23]
communication platforms around the world
[25]
maybe it's even worse to have the
[27]
world's richest person trying to buy one
[29]
of them and take it private are there
[30]
any ways to stop him if he wants to buy
[33]
Twitter are there any guard rails around
[35]
something like this because this could
[37]
be a very dangerous president last night
[40]
musk offered to buy Twitter for 43
[44]
billion dollars in cash oh my God he
[48]
could do so much with that money address
[50]
world hunger fix climate change hey you
[54]
Ding-A-Ling Twitter is already an
[57]
international platform for free speech
[59]
you know how I know that because no one
[61]
at Twitter can stop me from tweeting
[63]
suck at Elon Musk in every language
[67]
freaking out meanwhile the terminal
[68]
Twitter is ramping up the company in
[71]
acting a so-called poison pill to stop
[72]
Musk from taking over but it could hurt
[74]
the company financially and get this
[76]
employees are complaining that must ruin
[79]
their calm Focus week uh Kennedy oh no
[83]
no this week we better shut some people
[86]
down
[88]
to Washington Post columnist Max boot
[90]
it's like you're frightened this is what
[93]
scares you Elon Musk wanting to expand
[96]
free speech in this country when so much
[99]
speech is being curtailed uh when kids
[102]
and moms are being bombed to death
[104]
trying to escape Ukraine and you're
[106]
seeing that every day in real time and
[108]
this is what frightens you uh your
[110]
priorities are so incredibly out of line
[113]
this could be a great thing I don't
[116]
understand no one has any data or
[118]
examples to back up why they're freaking
[121]
out about this it's just that Twitter
[123]
won't have all of the mechanisms to shut
[126]
people down who don't engage in right
[128]
think all you have to do is walk around
[131]
the building and talk to people who have
[133]
been silenced on Twitter for no good
[136]
reason look at the Babylon bee look at
[138]
the New York Post it's really incredible
[141]
the reach that they have and the Damage
[143]
they can do when people haven't done any
[145]
harm in the first place other than share
[147]
ideas and talk and make jokes tires
[150]
they're freaking out and he's a
[151]
Libertarian what if he was a
[153]
conservative a republican I think more
[156]
important than what his political
[157]
aspirations is for any children out
[159]
there or young men women striving for
[161]
greatness this is what's nice when you
[163]
have Fu money you can do things like
[165]
that some rich people get spite stores
[168]
you ever you know where you went to a
[170]
barber shop and he upset you so you made
[172]
a barber shop right next to him because
[173]
you had that kind of money
[174]
musk took it to the next level he's
[177]
making Twitter his spite store so I love
[180]
it as somebody who likes to see people
[182]
get their comeuppance this has nothing
[184]
to do with free speech this is
[186]
he's going to kick in the door on the
[188]
fraternity he's going to allow everyone
[191]
to be in the fraternity and they don't
[192]
like that and journalists who use
[194]
Twitter for everything now are gonna
[196]
have to do their work because there's
[197]
going to be two this is a crazy idea
[199]
there's going to be dare I say it two or
[202]
three sides to an argument and you won't
[204]
be able to suppress things like the
[206]
hunter by the situation you won't be
[207]
able to cancel somebody who's loud and
[209]
controversial anymore and that's just
[211]
really ruining my day and my first world
[214]
problems so Jessica do we have this all
[217]
wrong give us the liberal perspective
[218]
why are your folks freaking out
[224]
so I have I asked the moderate liberal
[226]
perspectives on this um so you want to
[228]
be Peacemaker at the table after the Abe
[230]
ape for sure
[232]
so Elon Musk is certainly no
[235]
conservative and as a Libertarian he's
[238]
really more the way I think about him is
[240]
a green Eco Warrior right that should
[242]
make everyone on the left super happy
[243]
with what's going on with Tesla and he
[245]
also kept the internet alive in Ukraine
[248]
so we went from you know three weeks ago
[250]
like this is the greatest guy in the
[251]
entire world to this now that doesn't
[253]
mean that I don't understand being
[256]
apprehensive about a billionaire having
[258]
this much of a controlling stake but for
[260]
people who weren't upset about Jeff
[261]
Bezos taking over The Washington Post
[263]
which is arguably more influential if
[265]
you look at it you know top two or three
[267]
newspapers in the country you don't have
[269]
a lake to stand on one thing that I read
[271]
about that I thought was really
[273]
interesting was one of musk's key points
[275]
is that he wants the algorithm that
[277]
Twitter uses to rank its content to be
[279]
made public and that's actually
[280]
something that a lot of Executives at
[282]
Twitter themselves want to be done so I
[285]
feel like there's some way so you
[287]
support this I no I'm certainly not
[289]
ready to say that I listen I'm I'm not a
[292]
share holder I think shareholders should
[294]
have a role in this conversation it
[296]
shouldn't just be about the board this
[297]
poison pill strategy
[299]
um I I don't work at CNBC I cannot get
[302]
into the details of all of this but I
[304]
think that the points that he's making
[306]
it would be worthwhile as a nine percent
[308]
you know stakeholder for them to
[310]
consider them and maybe find some common
[312]
place where he doesn't become the
[313]
majority shareholder and he already said
[315]
he doesn't have the 43 billion in liquid
[317]
assets to be able to buy this anyway but
[319]
maybe we can move forward together in a
[322]
positive direction judge I am not a
[324]
shareholder and I do not work for CNBC
[327]
and I am thrilled that Elon Musk May own
[330]
Twitter and I'll tell you why because
[333]
the man believes in free speech
[336]
unadulterated Free Speech limited quote
[340]
the only limits on Free Speech should be
[343]
the legal limits imposed by the
[345]
government this is a man who is a
[347]
constitutionalist a man who believes in
[350]
the rule of law a man who doesn't
[352]
believe as the left believes that if
[355]
their ideology is at stake and their
[357]
political presidency is at stake that we
[361]
should therefore suppress the truth and
[364]
therefore we cannot allow anyone to
[366]
speak when it might impact a
[368]
presidential election this is a guy who
[371]
the left is right it will have globe and
[374]
life-altering consequences it will have
[377]
a dangerous precedent in their mind
[379]
because they don't believe in the free
[381]
speech that each one of us has been
[384]
raised to understand Free Speech isn't
[387]
about the the people who are triggered
[390]
or or who need a place to cry free
[393]
speech is the ability to say what you
[396]
want to other people as long as it is as
[400]
it is not criminal period I hope he buys
[404]
it and I hope he does what what we were
[406]
what we were just talking about and that
[409]
is that we should know what algorithms
[412]
are emphasize and de-emphasize so there
[415]
is real truth on Twitter
