everything is controlled all information is controlled with the exception
pretty much of twitter
because the guy who owns it has said he's not going to censor yeah elon it's
nice i feel like
that's one thing that i thought was that yeah maybe that's it that's what's
about censorship
is at least you feel like you can say things uh or that things can be shared on
there because
didn't do you feel i mean as someone who writes comedy who does this every day
do you feel freer
on the platform now on twitter yeah i feel like at least if youtube takes me
down oh look at that
comedy is legal on this platform so elon like specifically endorsed your right
to say yeah it
was nice and we had roseanne barr on and she's a i like her a lot oh dude she
did so much for
a comedy she did so much for women and gays and uh oh wait i saw part of that
and they uh hollywood
threw under the bus as soon as they had a chance because they are heartless and
um and so anyway
she was on my show and she wait i saw that and they took tell me if i'm misremembering
this they took a
line that she had and they cut out all the context and put it like on tick tock
and it made her sound
like she was a crazy person or a vicious person which she's not either yeah she's
a jewish i mean
she's born jewish i think she's still jewish right she is and so she said um
yeah oh and the holocaust
never happened right she said sarcastically right of course i think she had
relatives who died in it
yes yeah very obvious right of course and they some guy on twitter ass sam i
don't know what the
guy's name was something's fucklstein or somebody he made a big deal about it
for the minneapolis
fucklesteins yeah probably i know them this dude this this was two weeks after
right makes a big deal
about or just put that clip into whatever no context so then youtube took us
down took that episode down but
we got to put it on twitter so that was nice at least because it was an honest
place you know um
but what i worry about is like didn't some of these companies didn't twitter or
facebook didn't they get
in trouble for not letting like during election times like not real information
being allowed to be shared
yeah i mean i don't know who would get them in trouble they run everything and
you know my concern
would be as we're getting to this election it's very intense you know i think
they're you know very
intense people on both sides and um if you actually had a platform that was
open for everyone to say
what he or she thinks that's a massive threat to the community and i think that
the
because the truth is always a threat to liars that's just right never changes
people are killed never
for lying ever they're only killed for telling the truth you're only punished
for telling the truth
people get mad it's because you told the truth everyone should know that so i
mean i don't i
can't imagine the pressure that's going to come to bear on this company x now
over the next year i
mean it you know it's going to be without precedent i think do you think elon
could be i mean there
could be like even an assassination attempt on him or something i would never
speculate about something
like that but i just think there's just you can't you're a guy at a bar what
are you going to say you
know you know i i think there's gonna be i would have a food taster i mean i
think it's i think look
the one the one thing we look if you're doing a great job at something if you're
a great father
great husband great employer great comedian you're not too worried because you
know you're doing a good
job but if you're doing a bad job and the only beneficiary of your work is you
and everyone else is
getting screwed and they can't even afford to fill up their truck or buy
groceries and you're still
getting rich you're very worried dictators are always worried about their own
security okay so
what's the biggest threat to you the biggest threat is someone calling you out
and so you have to shut
down any medium where that could possibly happen so obviously facebook is
completely controlled
google is completely controlled tick tock foreign company god knows what their
agenda is so really the
only big platform that's pretty not controlled with some apparently some limits
but in general it's not
controlled it's free speech is x i agree so like there's a lot at stake
legitimate leaders don't
worry about this if i'm a legitimate leader if i'm a good father and one of my
kids is like i want to
smoke weed at the breakfast table you're like you can't sorry because i make
the rules no weed at the
breakfast table i'm not worried about saying that because i think i'm a pretty
good father and i think my
kids think i'm a pretty good father but if i'm a terrible father who's abusing
my kids i can't let
them say anything because the authorities might find out i had to get punished
for what they know and
that is the same attitude that every dictator has that's why all dictators take
the guns and impose
censorship is the first thing they do they don't want to throw you in prison it's
expensive it's
difficult they don't want to execute you they just want you to shut up and be
obedient
and elon musk in buying this platform and opening it up to all positions even
unpopular ones
is the single greatest threat to their hegemony to their control and uh you
know i'm not predicting
their response but i mean it's going to be intense super intense i can say that
would you have security
and uh that sort of thing if you were him would you have like somebody you know
would you make sure
that the tesla truck which is supposed to have been out for 17 years but that
it has extra
bulletproofness in the glass i would definitely include as a standard feature
not an add-on
the oil tanks that drop the oil onto the road behind you so that people pursue
when you spin out
and like go right into a bridge abutment or off the side of the mountain off
mall holland you know
what i mean i would definitely do that and i'd have like hidden machine guns
under the side view mirrors
i'd have a death ray possibly that would probably be a custom feature but i
would i would have stuff like
that yeah for sure what things do you think shouldn't be on twitter i mean i
think everything should be
allowed on twitter i mean i'm on twitter because everything is allowed right um
i don't think
everything is allowed on twitter i haven't found the boundary yet but but elon
musk who owns it has
said he's for free speech and if it's a political view that most people don't
like it's still allowed
yeah and i'm so grateful for that someone with unpopular views you know well
didn't they have
well one thing that i don't like on twitter sometimes you see like people
beating up teachers
and stuff like that you ever see any of this violence that happens right i don't
like it
but the fact that they allow it and kids beating up each other they'll have
like those things where
somebody's gonna set up somebody's filming some other kids like are gonna come
in and beat up the kid
right um but why did that because then i feel like if they would stop allowing
that then because other
kids just start mimicking what they see well it's also bad it's bad for you to
watch it i say it's
someone who's watched a lot of it it's like the isis videos yeah you know what
i mean or there's a
whole bunch of channels of criminals getting shot coming into a jewelry store
or a liquor store and
some korean guy just blows them away yeah and you can't help but love it i mean
it is the most
alluring kind of porn you just watch it again and again this guy getting killed
yeah and you think
this is not good for me actually i shouldn't watch this yeah it's probably part
of your spirit or
whatever totally it's not edifying it's it's like actually bad but it's very
hard have you ever seen the
criminals getting killed oh yeah yeah i've seen a couple of them there's one
guy who's so good at
it he's killed like seven criminals yeah he's a watchmaker in la oh is he yeah
no it's a very
famous guy oh there's a one guy i'm like dude they gotta quit trying to rob
this guy well he finally
gave up and now i think he lives in vegas but this was in the 80s or 90s in la
i think he killed five
people literally but i was thinking yeah what i don't like about those viol
like the violence that they
show on twitter where it's like the children beating up children yeah is
because if you're a kid
and you see that and you see it gets a lot of traction then you get to go do it
so you're just
replicating this vibe like that it's like you see so many more kids doing it
now because they've seen
it as like a thing like so that kind of thing i don't think they should allow
one there well also
you don't want to see every ugly thing that people do do you know what i mean
yeah you don't want to see
fat people in the shower you don't want to see people in the john like there
are a lot of things
that happen that you don't necessarily want to look at video of i don't mind
watching a thick person
in the shower if there's a real skinny person there with them and they have to
like kind of like
jockey for position or something you know hope you enjoyed that video and you
can watch another
and you can watch this one you can watch this one different options different
choices some guy just
brings you one option not this guy two options watch one this one or this one
