I think the pod cast starts. You know- starts off the right way with government official singing somewhere over the pandemic. It is the most free newsworthy that I think I've I've experienced and we ve come a very. We come a very long way on fringe worthy things that are coming from the government. Also with the mayor of San Francisco, is doing, and is this a turning point? We talk a little bit about what the law must defend to Elizabeth WAR in and John startles attorney to talk about what is Facebook mean that their fact check is protected opinion all this and more on today's biogas government. In order your merchant Glenn back, merge dot com, you can use the Roma code Glenn twenty to see twenty percent or indifferent to rate in review. This part costs as well as having over to students America to do the same. There we play the song is beginning to look a lot like Venezuela on the programme. Today you can get that listen has many times you like share. It can subscribe to students, America on this package platform,
the only thinking so Ilan Mosque yesterday, it was named times time magazines, twenty one person of the year, so Elizabeth Warrant, tweets. Let's change the ring tax code so the person of the year will actually pay taxes and freeloading off every one else Musk followed up, saying, stop projecting, you remind me of when I was a kid and my friends, angry mom would just randomly yell at every one for no reason in neither is her profile it is, it is she's, cheese, angry she's, always
anger in that voice. You don't I mean this is why, of course, she didn't even come close to winning the primary. I think she did better than Cobler well in Sri lanka- that's not a state, it was really standard, is shooting for in another to eat. He said please don't call the manager on me Senator Karen. I love this and I love this guy because he just he says out loud what a lot of people think- and here is a guy who I have real problems with the times, because now he saying you know no subsidies should be available while after he got his subsidy. So as he kicking the door behind him to stop everybody else or is he really had a change of heart? Hopefully, he's really had a change of heart. but I don't know but here's what I wanna here's what I wanna talk to you about, I'm sure if the people-
all that we have a quota quote. Coming over to our side. Have actually really changed. other, then They realize their side is Really dangerous now so, in other words, Are they like Republicans that joy the tea party. Realized. I I'll be out of this republican Party because it doesn't it, they don't stand for anything and we realise that, and while we torch the Republican Party, many of us will still vote for the Republican Party. you understand what I'm saying so not sure if these guys have add a real awakening to our argument or there now seeing the people they been standing in the room with and there like. I don't want to be with these people. he's crazy,
and so they reveal themselves as the true more libertarian liberal, that they always have been. Yeah, I see you see what I mean yeah, I think that's the amended overturn window is. Is this our own act here we talk about this with Bob costs, the other day who right you know he did had this Jim Geraghty, who I criticised For some of his monologues about guns in the Washington Redskins team name and said he was known as we did as well, that use broadcasting Crazy, liberal and causes work called up and said: hey, I'm not that guy, I'm not far left and just the fact that he would want to disagree with being outed as someone who is far left index you probably isn't far left because yea, I see, never comes up and says: no, I'm really not socialist. That's that with these people dirty more right, that's an
old era of of rough liberal and, what's weird is they are now separating themselves? They were the ones who would have said glimpse crazy. saying that everybody's a marxist, you know we're not marxist, when me no news magazine ran the headline? Were all sorts of Martha Socialist now and they were the ones that would jump on the bandwagon. Defending the people who were on the democratic side that were truly marxist. Now did they not believe that or have they had a an awakening to Marxism worthy always part of this kind of marxist soup, and they just backed up and said This is not going to work here or worse. just truly a blind liberal. That word just thought the
poverty is the party and we're not Marxists yeah. Maybe they thought it was his overblown Moroccans were blue or saying these things in their not true and to be there were a lot more on the left side that weren't marxist having Joe Biden used to very much sound like a normal democrat. If you go back the nineties in gold to the nineties we're talking, but this was San Francisco little earlier when it comes to crime, there's a version of Joe Biden that could do very well in this country today the ninety nine Virgil. That's the version that people voted thought they were. They were voting for you and that's why he get elected in Rangoon, backed in eighteen. Ninety four he's got the crime bill, he's trying to hold people accountable for for criminal actions now he saying that was racist and I apologize for it when that sort of action is needed, most we're seeing in San Francisco now so big has come a long way. You know you must get too. I dont know exactly where he comes from on me. Cities sort of thing he's now He doesn't want them for anybody. Anybody which I love
but I know that is what I believe as well. however, obviously is company was built on them. Maintain Tesla was built on ass. Why wonder? Is he kicking the door closed? for everybody, I don't think so. I not only its him, you know, maybe he just when we, he didn't didn't emphasise it a lot back then, or maybe he just like the idea that he gave his company started. I don't know, but you left out. I think Most important part of this exchange with Elizabeth Warren it points out, he will pay more taxes than any other. Can in U S history this year, notices Elizabeth Horny so dumb, but she's action criticising a person for not paying taxes, who's paying the most taxes of anyone in history has ever been a bigger miss of a tweet than Elizabeth horns. think about it seriously, rising that he's having more taxes he's paying out in history he's paying more than anyone in history, and she said he paid nothing. There is literally no way to miss more than she missed,
and George Washington never died because he is saying that I die again Boeing, that's questionable! You know you could still greater, maybe we can't quantify and that we want to. Finally, Europe must cause a generation ban here, where's folded up without don't spend it all at once a way you did already. It's all right that it is too great. Now the question, is people are waking up, but are what are they waking up to? Are they wake up and saying conservatives are right or are they just waking up to the things that we always had in common, where we conservatives. The people like us have said guys. We, didn't change. You changed. You Jane The democratic party is no longer fighting for what you say. You believe in their not bill there not fight For the bill of rights, there fighting for socialism in communism and
fundamental transformation of Amerika well,. I hope that they are waking up especially to the democratic party. Because you remember was races to say any one was a marxist. It crazy? To say? Somebody in the Democratic Party is a communist. Well, tell me what you think of this story. Senator richer Blumenthal from Connecticut one of the worst people in the world spoke no wards ceremony over the weekend, hosted by a Communist party affiliate, whose leaders use the event to recruit potential members in The Communist party Now he's one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, which, let's put that aside because actually it's it's his wife just love, a man who never really even created wealth, but his living off of his wife. It's so beautiful,
Blumenthal appear even as democratic leaders have downplayed allegations that many in the party support, socialist or communist policies, so they are still saying now. not support that then, how do you expect in Blumenthal. Going and speaking at the communists party event. Blumenthal was introduced at the event by lease of bird. a Communist party member who blamed corporations for the imperialism that exist, in our world that is undermining the labour and environment movement. She also had was another communist M, see Ben Mcmanus issued invitations at the ceremony to join the Communist Party, and I quote: if you're not already part of the Communist Party, we invite you to participate and contribute and join theirs. Or more people talking about socialism in this country, as it becomes more and more clear that
Capitalism is not going to work for our future. so tell me what's happening. There democrats explain this. Can you imagine if, if somebody Ed, I am definitely not part of the clan, but then you invited to speak at a clan ceremony award Ceremony- and you speak and when yours beekeeping everybody's like and by the way, make sure you join the plan on a way out. How would you explain that? Because I think, would be unexplainable, I think anybody who did that it would be. Our desire, oh yeah, he's not he's not plan friendly, no way, no way. How is it that the Democrats don't care. that they are now having dick bloom fall a guy who's not known in
No in the media circles, as the radical he's kind of the law enforcement kind of guy As you know, I just want to make sure that everything is run, and you know I really buttoned up. I'm I'm. Certainly not a communist, really Why are you speaking at the Communist Party award ceremony. We have to wake, are our friends and family up and and this is why I have been saying for a while- our Unum has always been the bill of rights, In Biden, says freedom number. Talking about you having to get a vaccine what's the big deal, the big deal is the guy, He doesn't have the right to tell me what to put into my body. That's the deal
don't ever right! So stop trying to do it. You don't have a right to force companies to make me. Do it don't have the right to do it, today is the day that the Lee founders enshrined the bill of rights? There very important They still are in those with the things that brought us together policies, not who will we voted for not things that we have tax or not tax. It was the bill of rights. And when you have leaders of the Democratic Party speaking The Communist Party annual awards. You Don't have people who believe in the bill of rights have people who were working with or standing with people who are undermining the bill of rights.
that's the one thing we should still all have in common. This is the master, the Glen Back Programme, and we really want to thank you for listening. This is the Glenda programme. Yesterday I told you a little bit about facebook, something that people are not paying attention to. They should facebook is in a court battle with John startle. I have his attorney on with us at the top of next hour, so just about twenty five minutes away, but They have Sir John Startle has sued because of a fact check Facebook that he said defamed him because as they said, that his facts were false and John says Oh I've been in the fact checking business. You know most
of my life, and I the difference between fact and false- and this is in false. well, he fought to this and in court now. Facebook has shewed, something in their defence, they say, opinions are not subject. The defamation claims, while false Ascertains of fat can be subject to defamation. So they're saying fact check articles. This quote fact check articles are not The labels of fixed through Facebook platform, the labels themselves are nearly near, neither false nor defamatory too. Contrary vague constitute protected opinion. Now the way I read that is fat check, And have to be based in facts, They can if they have an opinion,
says now: that's not right. Then they can claim that our facts are wrong trumped by their opinion. which is the case. We have been making the whole time Where is the line for your opinion? and facts because we know what the facts are, you can then go in and say we disagree? But who are you to say? We do agree on our opinion. we're arguing facts as John points out they had they can. much do what they want and thereby white. However, it is terrible way of doing business is especially for somebody who claims they want be the source of the public square conversation, I don't they don't seem to act that way and innovate. Twitter is doing something today, where
They are penalised. Users who claim vaccinated people can spread covert. Nineteen now every effort we study every building from the literal beginning has said that if you have If you are vaccinated, you have a chance, a lower chance, but a chance of spreading over nineteen hours. never been a study that has said it's going to prevent every single case of spread its never occurred to me So how are they so that end there saying that if you say hey, you know what I think you know, but you can spread it if you have if you are vaccinated, which is true bite, literally every scientific report, clearing the scientists who work at Pfizer. Ok, that doesn't mean that they are. There are terrible and though the worst thing in the world doesn't mean anything like that, but it does mean that, of course, some facts and people are. The faculty of this is from the CDC website. If you are fully vaccinated and become infected with the delta variant, you can put spread. The buyer to others. Infections happen only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated even with a delta, very s.
per to people who are not vaccinated, but it does say both things say you can get new. You can spread it. It can happen so. It seemed to be even worse when it comes to omit. Is that judges on here, which it looks like it may. So to punish the like, You are punishing people for saying things that are on the CDC website. Hurry while they last on the website, point or dot. Org has just fact checked my recent covert special among specifically the question: does government co own the vaccine, the covert nineteen vaccine? They also questioned my question on whether the government may have ulterior motives in mandating the vaccine And here is their fact check it true. The government and it should be co- owns the vaccine, but is it true? The government owns the vaccine, as back said
in short, no. Ok, in short, no how bout we Look at the long form, then, me. Why add? In short, it's a yes or no question. Well, this is a time. pick. That requires a short explanation. I guess I would personally say no as the coveted origin story and the vaccine origin story are the biggest topics in the world right now. It's not even close spot. Kind of seems like this fact check agrees because they follow up in their little, in short, no remark This little did bit and I quote, but as the New York Times reported November knife is a long brewing disagreement between Madonna and the National Institute of Health over who developed a crucial part of the covert nineteen vaccine, known as the M Rna sequence and that could have,
implications for ownership of important Patten's related the vaccine, so in other words no no dont co own it? No vat, to prove it. There's a court battle right now going on between the government and Madonna and their battling out in court to see who owns it or not, will wait a minute I showed you the document, with the signature and say what's this all about did you know you know that they co owned. Did you. No, this was happening. Don't you think, because if getting money or anyone in the end I age is getting money. We should know about it because that might mean I'll be an ulterior motive
and by the way we had conversations before the special, even air, off the air. He s talking about all of the points they bring up here and making sure that we included the new energy rested and then they ve instead of fact checking the special did in fact especial life. A factual like talk. They fact check what what part of the special what viral on Tik Tok India, which is pretty frustrating what I don't know how we're supposed to control. The YAP point are also points. This out quote lot of money is at stake. as well as a big say in the distribution of vaccines worldwide. If the and age scientists were named as inventors on the sequence Patten, that would enable the government to collect royalties on the patent and to license it as it sees fit, including some have noted two other. Accede, manufacturers, besides Madonna. The result. have long term consequences for global vaccine access,
Now. Maybe it's just me, but a lot of money is, it sake, stay clean. This sounds like. Maybe we should look for arterial motives. It's interesting how they point out royalties to be paid to the government, because if you go down to page one, twenty five on the agreement that we show jus between Madonna and the government you'll find an interesting appendix called royalties appendix now. If there's co ownership. Why is there a royalties appendix it says? If any vaccine is produced based off their collaborative research. Then, madam would owe the government an initial some sixty days after the signing of this agreement October, twenty nineteen and then every year annually if his all down to page one, twenty seven, the gutter and instructs how those royalties would be paid
Why would modernity be paying the federal government in full, there is even an account number on page one, twenty seven that show the money should be directed to the Federal Reserve Bank. I don't know that kind of sounds like money is changing, hands or change hands. If I call on this: if they develop did and they said no. We, develop this all by ourselves that no money changes hands? No have a co ownership and we gave you the M Rna mechanics Andy! You added this, so we're partners on it. That's what it says. how is point you're doing this. They and also no suspicion at all? The Doktor Barrett was in mooted in the collaboration between Madonna and again, I age not even a little suspect that the government and maternal we're
working on a corona virus m or in a vaccine, they were sending research back and forth with the man Barrack, who is working with doktor she and war on on corona virus. There's no interest in that. This is the same rule on where the pandemic. began its not worthy of a question. I guess and The way I have questions, we all should have questions the facts. Are this The government in Madonna have been collaborating on a corona virus vaccine since twenty fifteen, the key track, specifically states, co, ownership of vaccine candidates and on twenty four all data and material produced along the way royalties have. Been negotiated Roy These are in the contract, Doktor Bear the man who had been working on Corona virus research with doktor she was included, and now
There is a dispute between the government and Madonna on who owns what that the fact pointer but don't wearing nothing to see here. Pointers got at their smarter than you. You know this it's just a government trying to mandate a vaccine that their currently fighting on, how much of it they were involved with inventing and then the contractor, state in black and white, the royalties that should be paid to the federal bank. If anything, is produce based off their collaboration. Nothing to see here, there's no, terrier motive, there's no co ownership at all, so What the hell! This is even mean. That's why I'm asking there is now precedent for this, and if the government, or government employees are going to benefit even a little off of affair. A policy that contributes to that benefit. We should be asking these questions
what the media used to do. That's what point her! Says there, whose mission is, I fact checkpoint? Her their liars, They are liars. specifically here their wires faction.
that opinion. This is the best of the planned back program. If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening, built bar is back and eighty is unbelievable view been listener. My show this year I love build bars, it's an all american story. This is a client I asked to be on the show, because I didn't listen, my wife again and you ve been telling me about it, but it has protein bar on it and those always tastes like a doormat. This is unbelievable. The mint brownie flavour- oh yes, baby! It is life. Changing the new bars tastes better than ever. In addition, the twelve original flavors Bill BAR just added cookies and green, carry cake, Carmel, Brownie, lemon omen, cheesecake apple omen. Crisp autonomy is its rate, build bar delay.
just nutritious high protein low calorie high fibre low garbs, one hundred percent real chocolate and one hundred percent really good, plus they ve reset the code for this new launch right now: go to build bar dotcom user promo Code Beckett, ten dollars off your first order. Promo code back built bar Odd com, national, recognize civil rights lawyer named as one of the best lawyers under forty in two thousand and seven. She is the founder and chief executive officer for the Centre for American Liberty. We we welcome harming Dylan to the programme, hire me yet hi banks routing me. So I can't a rap. My arms around this crazy facebook defence that their fact checks are protected appeal, lions, and so we can push back on them.
while they say we are liars has at work. Why dont think works If we fail this phenomenon now for several years, I've seen it with various clients of my farm where there is, a journalist or writers, and they put up material on Twitter on Facebook thought Instagram on other platforms. You too With another, and companies have been sued many times. I've seen various of these companies many times under four theories. because of a lack of communication to decency act, section to thirty companies have basically been allowed. A government protection from the top of defamation that you were, I would be liable for if we said false things about me, in other forums, and so in this case many of your viewers may know when you're reading an article on maybe an article. You live Can you go to share it or even without going to sharing a label pops up
that warned you bad article that you're reading in your bout, the sharers falls partly false veto fake news basically and then sometimes even getting into some details as to what small about it? That's what happened here with Johnston phones are respected journalist for decades periods and Peace treaty, independent content now and on his facebook page, he posted a couple of videos about two different climate The topics and one was about the forest fires that it can California, Marine years, twenty twenty and a war caused them. And he was interviewing experts on forest fires. and then in the other one is talking about a variety of Claims by Europe, climate activists about everything being caused by climate change, hurricanes, fire, you name it and so how these
please try to get around them being called a famers, Facebook and twitter. companies they hire- and I imagine my airports here- a higher, abandoned fact, Gore, really activists themselves. Of course today let loose the hounds of independent fact. Checkers on the helpless users of these platforms, who are not allowed to fight back and they ripped off the shreds, as if it's some kind of a blood sport and there's no appeal process, and so in this climate change group that was tasked with reviewing this one is on french outfit. very biased Review of their reviews of people's post shows that, in the case of authors who are perceived, Germany and bake routinely, read them as false or mostly falls lacking
on taxes and other nice one that they like to use, but in this case either they really got it wrong here, the factually wrong, in a day They attributed to John a statement that he didn't make, namely that he said that a climber played no role in forest fires and in fact he actually said that quite very well may play a role in fires, but it certainly know that explain: California. It in their other explanation that have to do with government. There are many behaviour and choices and then the other one. Similarly Bay, they basically near him with with love it misleading, lacking context partially. False contains factual and accurate she's, so so that's the label on the margin general video. Now if you're a journalist who devoted career, getting it right and an elucidating the truth to the poor boy labour.
Somebody's post has partly fall obtains factual inaccuracies is devastating. It will be like telling the world fixing a label to losses that I filed there. You know that that their sanction that that they ve been sanctioned when they have, Will you honestly it is like, instead of taking the all the news fit to print changing the subtitle two of the New York Times to contain factual inaccuracies right then, like on two July, lacking ailing, yet you wouldn't you your times would never become the New York Times. If that had to be printed on the front page of every newspaper, and it's true, re out the New York Times? It's true. they are at times and we know so what? What so now These guys are playing a shell games. We saw them by waiting to see them. We want them letters. First, the French. You know climate charge outfit,
and we end Facebook now matter and they change their name little of this case and and been obey wrote back. There are others in our entertainment. Basically, this is Europe in fact, checking it all, although it says fact checkers in fact checking on it. We didn't we didn't. My amendments was devastating to John. It drove As for your ship down hugely infer social media writers, that's that's that's revenue that's credibility that your professional reputation that You know what what you're labelled maliciously within Wikipedia when you die. You know purveyor of false Video yeah, you know. So it is that's a stance that doesn't wash off and there's no place to wash off so he soon as a last resort, for this issue and Facebook responded here. This is us
one must adjust our opinion. This is a lamentable fact. I want it literally with a fact checkers towards its kind Orwellian almost ridiculous waste, but soon artisan Gulf, rack and white. Where does this go from here? they'll be an argument in front of the judge. Interestingly, our cases bounced around so far amongst to judge The second judge just got appointed to that, just You know nominated and confirm to the ninth circuit last week so probably going to be awaiting hearing in front of a third judge to see You know what happened to this case and look. Facebook has a sorry matter has overwhelming resources- and you know they just brush these claims aside and I've dealt with their quarrel quote fact: checkers before it. a gardener ear. You're listeners may not know what this industry effect checkers. Is there again Eric
nonprofits, they usually employ washed up, or you know, sort of journalists who don't wanna work that our new, more or activists were both at some from the near times the Wall Street Journal I've dealt with some very esteemed former journalist who now work for these outfits and all but all day long. Their job is, you know fourth, labels on as many of your enemies and opponents of people disagree with you as possible, laughed quietly and go out for a cocktail. That's that's the deal and at its it's not right and if you are, I did this and called a journalists work. False partly false Like a context that will be, harmful and you are, I can get sued, so the sanctions true of facebook and communication, it isn't the exception to authority. Thirty is not, as these big tech companies repeatedly claim.
a licence to lie to mere defame and devastate users but that's exactly what it. What it does. over and over and over again, we have had faction eggs from these same people, we ve, had fact checks, They claimed that something we said was false, because It comes from a study that on pay four hundred and thirty five aid, another claim that we weren't making that was proven false right, but because the part that wasn't falls was also in that same study with something that was, we We were, we were fact checked as wrong as like wait, pray. but when you look at the label on just reading from it from from our complaint, the label, big big box, missing contact, and then it says from independent,
act, checkers and then there's another little label fact check science cycle I'm a change, etc. And then it says about this notice: independent tracks, checkers Davis information is missing context and could this week people and then it says learn more about how Facebook works with independent fact checkers to stop the spread of false. information, so it goes on to say this is false I I'm not an almost we're clear. You can be so quite claiming it now in its news to me and in and by the way, their asking every user of Facebook to somehow gas that their fact chick is glee and opinion her opinion, monetary bright and on top of it they not only label you with that, but they also then the algorithm shoves you down,
and on top of that now I've noticed some of them are not even letting you share the story. It won't. You can't you you it's their it'll say its false. But if you try to share the story, because you disagree with their opinion, you can't even share the story. I mean it. It's a gulag system. facebook. What can you Average person do well we know the average person can can follow this lawsuit talk about it, mock face look. I don't know, but you know we have to eventually hopefully find some platforms don't lie. Defamed steel our information and play a game, but ultimately go I'm the only remedy for this for the for the citizen, for the users of social media around the world is our members of Congress and our president when they are right, thinking, people
need to change communication. That is, with the exception, to thirty, to make a call here that it is no longer appropriate for these companies to use its protections as a complete carte blanche. For doing whatever they want. There have to be some norms and some rules. There should be a user's bill of rights. There needs to be an appeals process for this, and these companies have to some form of liability, because so far, court after court after court had let them out Scot free and- and frankly, even conservative thank eggs and I'm using those airports again and conservative, not profits and concern, but have makers, have all I bought the big tech lobbies. propaganda that these types of quote him quote protections for these trillion. Corporations are necessary to ensure free speech Each are there no more necessary to ensure free speech. Men, a taking away, definite,
I is necessary for you or I or the New York Times to stop defending people. It is in fact, that liability that rain People in from going too far, and we all know the difference between a fact check and an opinion and none suing overt opinion here, they're suing over a false accusation. lying and in article exactly I thank you so much harm Delanne will be watching this and our best to John startle and everybody on your team.
