01:02.082 --> 01:03.360
LIKE A FREE SPEECH

01:03.371 --> 01:03.976
OCCASIONALLY.

01:03.978 --> 01:08.017
>> IT REALLY IS TRUE, WE HAVE

01:08.018 --> 01:11.687
COME SO FAR FROM THE EARLY DAYS,

01:11.698 --> 01:14.271
AND MAKE A BASTION OF SEEING

01:14.282 --> 01:16.314
WHATEVER YOU WANT, TALKING

01:16.349 --> 01:17.558
ABOUT RE-PLATFORM-ING THE

01:17.569 --> 01:19.116
PRESIDENT BECAUSE THERE

01:19.117 --> 01:20.531
SHOULDN’T BE ANY SPECIAL

01:20.565 --> 01:22.754
STANDARDS, ALL THAT, STUFF AND

01:22.765 --> 01:25.181
HERE WE ARE FINDING THAT IS

01:25.215 --> 01:26.335
RELATIVE TO THE PERSONAL

01:26.346 --> 01:26.840
PREFERENCES.

01:26.873 --> 01:29.097
ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST, AS

01:29.108 --> 01:31.678
YOU MENTION, AS OF, TUESDAY ALL

01:31.689 --> 01:35.059
SORTS OF LINKS, THE LINKS TO GO

01:35.060 --> 01:36.586
THROUGH WHEN YOU GO THROUGH,

01:36.621 --> 01:37.598
TWITTER WERE GETTING THROTTLED

01:37.599 --> 01:39.346
FOR FIVE SECONDS, WHICH AS YOU

01:39.357 --> 01:40.495
KNOW IS AN UNBEARABLE AMOUNT OF

01:40.506 --> 01:41.163
TIME.

01:41.198 --> 01:43.367
THAT WAS THE NEW YORK TIMES,

01:43.368 --> 01:44.558
SOME OF THESE RIVAL PLATFORMS

01:44.559 --> 01:46.137
THAT HAVE COME UP LIGHT BLUE

01:46.148 --> 01:47.767
SKY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A

01:47.778 --> 01:49.477
FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO TWITTER,

01:49.479 --> 01:53.124
SO TURNS OUT THAT IS NOT JUST A

01:53.135 --> 01:54.743
MATTER OF DELIVERING THINGS,

01:54.744 --> 01:57.783
AND THE WAY THEY TRY IN THE

01:57.784 --> 01:59.999
INDUSTRY, IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN

02:00.010 --> 02:01.477
THAT THE TO THIS PLATFORM OR

02:01.478 --> 02:03.111
EXPORT FORMER COMING AND NOW

02:03.112 --> 02:04.289
WAS REALLY TRYING TO MAKE AN

02:04.300 --> 02:05.517
BEARABLE TO TRY TO GO TO THE

02:05.552 --> 02:07.549
SIDE THAT A LAW DOES NOT LIKE.

02:07.550 --> 02:09.282
>> COULD THIS NEW REPORTING

02:09.293 --> 02:11.230
HURT THEIR BUSINESS EVEN MORE?

02:11.232 --> 02:13.558
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM,,

02:13.569 --> 02:14.904
MAKING MONEY, ADVERTISERS.

02:14.915 --> 02:17.122
THE POST POINTS OUT THAT

02:17.123 --> 02:18.426
COMPANIES SPEND MILLIONS, AND

02:18.460 --> 02:20.084
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO MAKE

02:20.095 --> 02:21.803
SURE THAT THEIR SIGHTS OPEN AS

02:21.814 --> 02:23.403
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

02:23.414 --> 02:25.751
NOW THAT WE LEARN THAT ELON

02:25.752 --> 02:27.973
PUTS HIS FINGER ON A SCALE, OR

02:28.007 --> 02:30.447
PUSH THEM CITED THE BACK OF THE

02:30.448 --> 02:31.573
BUS, WHAT IMPACT COULD THIS

02:31.574 --> 02:31.950
HAVE?

02:31.961 --> 02:33.627
>> WHEN I, MEAN IT IS

02:33.628 --> 02:36.418
ABSOLUTELY THE CASE THAT YOUR

02:36.419 --> 02:38.869
SITE LIVES AND DIES BY LAG,

02:38.870 --> 02:40.240
LATENCY, HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES

02:40.251 --> 02:41.265
FOUR TO LOAD.

02:41.276 --> 02:42.672
LOW, TIMES OF ALL TEAMS,

02:42.673 --> 02:44.347
THOUSANDS OF ENGINEERS ARE

02:44.358 --> 02:45.482
DEVOTED TO THAT PARTICULAR

02:45.493 --> 02:45.901
FUNCTION.

02:45.912 --> 02:47.350
SOME OF THE BIGGEST SITES IN

02:47.384 --> 02:49.667
THE, WORLD BECAUSE THAT IS A

02:49.668 --> 02:51.281
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN --

02:51.292 --> 02:52.748
AND GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.

02:52.759 --> 02:54.927
THE FACT HE MAY HAVE DONE THIS

02:54.961 --> 02:56.456
SIMPLY OUT OF SPITE, WE HAVE NO

02:56.467 --> 02:59.041
IDEA WHY HE WOULD HAVE DONE

02:59.043 --> 03:00.570
THIS, BUT THE FACT --

03:00.581 --> 03:02.613
HE HAS SPOKEN HIS DISPLEASURE

03:02.624 --> 03:05.291
ABOUT IN THE PAST, MAKES A HUGE

03:05.292 --> 03:08.225
DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE IF YOU

03:08.226 --> 03:11.438
WOUND UP BEING THE --

03:11.449 --> 03:13.668
FORMER --

03:13.703 --> 03:18.127
WAS NOW CHALLENGED AND YOU CAN

03:18.129 --> 03:19.953
RELAX, AND --

03:19.964 --> 03:22.325
YOU CAN RUB LIE ON FOR YOUR

03:22.360 --> 03:24.322
BANNON HOW SHE’S GOING TO MAKE

03:24.323 --> 03:26.668
THAT CASE CONSIDERING THIS MAY

03:26.669 --> 03:28.286
BE THROTTLING SOME OF THE MIXED

03:28.297 --> 03:29.356
AND MOST POPULAR STATE IN THE

03:29.390 --> 03:29.827
WORLD.

03:29.838 --> 03:31.399
>> ALL RIGHT WE JUST SPOKE

03:31.400 --> 03:32.941
ABOUT IT IN OUR LAST, SEGMENT

03:32.952 --> 03:35.456
BUT I HAVE A LOT TO ASK YOU A

03:35.490 --> 03:37.429
DIFFERENT KIND OF SLOW WALKING,

03:37.440 --> 03:41.317
TWITTER SLOW WALKING DELAYING,

03:41.352 --> 03:45.490
OR REFUSING TO UNTIL THEY --

03:45.501 --> 03:47.677
WERE FORCED TO, MY NORMAL

03:47.711 --> 03:48.904
TRUMP’S TWITTER ACCOUNT.

03:48.905 --> 03:50.250
YOU COVER THIS EVERY, DAY WHAT

03:50.261 --> 03:51.562
DO YOU THINK?

03:51.573 --> 03:53.582
>> WELL, I THINK IT IS SO

03:53.593 --> 03:54.461
FASCINATING FOR SO MANY

03:54.462 --> 03:55.604
REASONS.

03:55.615 --> 04:00.143
FIRST OF ALL, YOU, KNOW THE

04:00.154 --> 04:02.607
OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU HAVE TO

04:02.641 --> 04:04.423
NOT ONLY LOOK AT WHICH DEVICES

04:04.434 --> 04:06.155
WERE POSTING ON THE ACCOUNT,

04:06.156 --> 04:07.955
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU CAN

04:07.966 --> 04:09.356
ESTABLISH A PATTERN OF WHO IS

04:09.391 --> 04:10.812
THERE, BUT THE FACT THERE ARE

04:10.813 --> 04:12.713
ALSO DIRECT AND --

04:12.724 --> 04:14.488
TWEETS THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN

04:14.489 --> 04:16.837
SENT, OR ONLY CONSIDERED AND

04:16.848 --> 04:18.815
THEN DELETED, YOU CERTAINLY AS

04:24.043 --> 04:25.371
GOING AFTER RICO STATUTE,

04:25.372 --> 04:27.148
OFFENSES, YOU COULD REALLY

04:27.149 --> 04:28.293
ESTABLISH THIS PATTERN OF

04:28.295 --> 04:28.771
MINDSET.

04:28.772 --> 04:31.672
IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE

04:31.706 --> 04:32.942
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN NERVOUS

04:32.953 --> 04:34.188
ABOUT AND DMS AND, REALLY

04:34.223 --> 04:36.373
TRYING TO GET OFF IT AS MUCH AS

04:36.374 --> 04:37.417
IT POSSIBLY, CAN MENDEZ THIS

04:37.418 --> 04:39.436
FEEL LIKE A LESSON FOR ALL OF

04:39.447 --> 04:40.732

04:56.131 --> 04:58.168
THE RIGHT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT

04:58.179 --> 04:59.965
TO MAKE YOURSELF POPULAR, WHICH

04:59.999 --> 05:02.181
IS THE FOLKS HE’S MOST POPULAR

05:02.192 --> 05:03.906
WITH, IT DEFINITELY GOES WITH

05:03.941 --> 05:06.906
THE MEMO HE HAS TRIED TO PUSH

05:06.907 --> 05:09.011
ON TWITTER, AND JUST FEELS LIKE

05:09.022 --> 05:10.271
THE QUESTION, IS HE TRYING TO

05:10.272 --> 05:10.982
COZY UP.

05:10.983 --> 05:12.360
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN

THEY RATIONALIZING OR

05:28.691 --> 05:30.236

05:36.173 --> 05:38.495
OF THE UNITED STATES, HE DOES

05:38.529 --> 05:39.226
DESERVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION,

05:39.227 --> 05:40.845
AND ALSO --

05:40.856 --> 05:42.881
EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT, WHICH IS

05:42.892 --> 05:45.324
THAT YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOU

05:45.335 --> 05:47.683
USERS, ESPECIALLY MOST POPULAR

05:47.718 --> 05:49.292
USERS FROM SUBPOENAS, FROM THE

05:49.303 --> 05:51.034
COURTS THAT YOU NEED TO HOLD

05:51.068 --> 05:54.008
THEM AT BAY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

05:54.019 --> 05:55.328
IT TURNS, OUT IN THIS CASE,

05:55.339 --> 05:56.340

05:56.375 --> 05:58.970
LOST THEIR FIGHT TO DO SO AND

05:58.981 --> 06:00.317
WAS CALLED ALL SORTS OF NAMES

06:00.328 --> 06:01.591
BEHIND THIS JUDGE.

06:01.625 --> 06:04.095
YOU KNOW, IT IS VERY MUCH IN

06:04.106 --> 06:06.081
KEEPING WITH THIS IDEA OF, WE

06:11.144 --> 06:12.646
IT IS WEIRD WITHIN AN

06:12.657 --> 06:13.967
ORGANIZATION HAS CAPITULATED

06:13.978 --> 06:15.374
ALL TYPES OF CENSORSHIP DEMANDS

THE RELATIVISM OF ALL THIS IS A

06:21.893 --> 06:23.078
VERY STARK.

06:23.079 --> 06:25.853
>> YES, YOU COULD MAKE THE CASE

06:25.864 --> 06:27.450
THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A

06:27.461 --> 06:29.460
FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
