Gutfeld: Liberal groups call for Twitter boycott

[Music] [Applause] all right happy thursday everyone what a glorious time to be alive especially if you're me so once again we're seeing the left go after speech left wing ngos are now coming after elon musk for buying twitter that's him on the left in case you're normal and have no idea what an ngo is it stands for no good organization pretty clever there are non-profit groups that claim to be independent of any government but aim to push radical agendas like no cash bail and now censorship imagine a group even more obnoxious and less accountable than government employees and this week the ngo sent a letter urging a boycott of twitter if musk takes over the company its backers include former clinton operatives billionaire george soros as well as get this the european union yes the european union signed a letter the ukrainians must be thrilled to hear that the eu's got their priorities straight sure we're under constant russian attack but someone was mean to chrissy teigen how's she doing you also you know hell signed this letter the canadian government is this what governments do sign letters demanding advertisers to boycott an american company i'm sorry canada we never expect america to sign a letter boycotting beavers but let's not forget it was the canadian prime minister who called canadian truckers nazis which is about as hateful as you could get although maybe not quite as hateful as donning blackface if justin trudeau is worried about speech he should look in the mirror but the last thing he wants to do is argue with a person of color i get why he hates twitter any kind of speech about him is usually going to be critical because he sucks he's the worst thing to come from canada since neil young's voice even even moose are thinking do we know a realtor in tampa musk responded to the letter with a tweet asking who funds these organizations that want to control your access to information let's investigate he added that sunlight is the best disinfectant which i disagree with try getting rid of gangrene with a sun lamp the letter was signed by more than 26 organizations and it claims that musk's purchase or what they call a takeover will further quote toxify our information ecosystem and worse it would be a direct threat to public safety especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized so wait are we talking about free speech on twitter or defunding the police they don't think twice about vulnerable people when they get rid of cash bail but allowing free speech on twitter that will that'll leave a trail of dead bodies from here to silicon valley threats public safety you'd think you were walking in chicago after 4 p.m but this is the same fear trotted out against anyone they want to eliminate from discourse and as usual it's in the name of the marginalized but has a white wealthy leftist ever asked a marginalized group what they really want of course not they wouldn't dare go into a marginalized neighborhood they might get stabbed by a guy who's back on the street thanks to their own policies fact is polling shows how marginalized groups pretty much want what everybody else wants a good job a house freedom from crime freedom of speech and of course an autographed signed photo of greg gutfeld that's what everyone wants everyone except for the very idiots pretending to speak for marginalized groups and it helps explain the lurch away from debate towards censorship and while boycotts have been around forever these are now not about a product but about silencing any opposition using the social media mob it's a level of extortion that would make tony soprano drop his gaba ghoul this group also claims that an advertiser risks association with a platform amplifying hate extremism health misinformation and conspiracy theorists wait maybe this letter was meant for cnn they also claim that under musk's management twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation that's like saying taking a piss risks stinking up a times square porta potty i know that for a fact twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation what is it already when someone mentions twitter you don't exactly picture guys in powdered wigs sitting in a venerable hall debating the importance of the protestant work ethic on a capitalist society while having afternoon tea saying must could make twitter a cesspool of untruths is like complaining about diarrhea before you've been to chipotle [Applause] thinking about it so who's behind this it appears it's three organizations which are all left-wing outfits jesse layrick a co-founder of accountable tech once served as a spokesperson for hillary clinton's presidential campaign so he definitely knows about a toxic ecosystem media matters is a bitter den of couchbound leftists spends nearly all their time watching fox and tweeting about it no wonder musk scares him so much he might make these lonely losers work harder or have a heart attack but the left-wing media has always been about monopolizing speech they're not even trying to hide it anymore tonight on the chess news network david brooks here with the test news network home of the fair and focus debate we are not swayed by public opinion and we have the ratings to prove it we have two people here on opposing sides of an issue miss how do you feel about elon musk and twitter billionaires and their corporate interests have no rights to affect political discourse in this country i read that in the washington post oh well said and you sir support elon what's it like to hate minorities well wait a minute no i i would never say what i meant to say miss any thoughts we are flirting with fascism in this country and lady liberty did not consent okay well i need to i can't even there you have it folks kind of fair and focused debate you'll only see here on the chess news network back to you grab [Applause] [Music] the creepiest thing i've ever seen but it's kind of appealing of course now the left are no different than students on campus who shut down speakers or shout down speakers they won't tolerate competition the problem here musk doesn't care he doesn't need advertisers to make twitter work he's got all he needs to make it a success a belief in free speech a few extra billions he found under the couch cushions and balls the size of caitlyn jenner larry [Applause] tonight yes he turned al-qaeda's number one into a pile of number two former navy seal and co-author of the brand new book the way forward rob o'neal she's so bright her future has to wear shades financial analyst heather zuma norton antivirus can't save you from his infectious laughter comedian and co-host of the jim norton and sam roberts show on siriusxm jim norton [Applause] she's like a q-tip thin white and can be harmful to your ears fox news contributor cat tip jim jim it's always great to see you and a delight to see you i could see you all the time if i could i see you all i don't ever want you to leave my eyeballs thank you you never leave my dreams [Laughter] do you like elon musk and what would you do if you had that kind of money what would you buy to fix i wouldn't buy anything to fix unless there were a lot of broken hookers [Laughter] there are that answers your question doesn't it yeah uh no i love elon musk i love what he's doing to act like twitter is this great place already i mean it's a terrible play like yesterday somebody uploaded this video of uh madison cawthran in a hotel room humping my face it is so unfair he's just a young kid having fun um rob good to see you kill anybody lately not in front of a camera long long time so what do you make of this uh this uh open letter or this signed letter from canada a country is actually telling us about free speech well it's the same names too with you know canada's involved the eu george soros involved the obamas the clintons david axelrod's involved and with hillary clinton involved it surprised me that um you know she she's going after someone who wants to colonize mars when she married someone who simply wants to put a finger on your anus [Applause] but i mean but but i'm sure bill the whole time it's like you're going getting getting rid of the internet keep your damn hands off grinder don't come to me after that please oh heather heather you don't have any sex jokes do you no i didn't i wasn't expecting that you know you know um okay so heather i'm gonna give you the the business question here this is these these boycotts have been used uh in exactly the same way as a threat to silence fox to silence tucker they did it to joe rogan do you i was just like don't put our music on spotify and they and then now they're doing it to us how do these things ever actually work these like economics because then you'll just create another platform but that's an interesting question given that you take the world's richest man and instead of creating his own platform he has truly billions of dollars not trillions not yet yeah but billions of dollars and he decides to buy twitter that just goes to show that there is a monopoly in social media because why wouldn't he just create his own instead of by what is a liberal platform that's a great point and he wants free speech it goes to show you how the liberal media and the liberal mob really is controlling what is put out there and i think americans should be able to see both sides he says he invites his his most crucial uh critical enemies and he wants everyone that disagrees with him not hate speech but he invites their voices also so that americans can decide for themselves i don't think americans are dumb when presented with all the facts let us decide for ourselves yes well foot young lady and not a single perverted sex joke no kat uh before i ask you a serious question i have to commend you on your latest character quite possibly the freakiest creature i've ever seen but somehow i feel like i know that person or i've met that person or i've seen that person somewhere in in collapse how did you get the twitching down um i think it came more naturally to me than i thought it would so i have a side question and i was thinking about this we always hear about george soros at the root of all these things whether it's these progressive da's or in this in this case this uh anti-free speech letter do you think he is aware that this is going on is he like because he's like in his late 80s does he know that these organizations that he are that he's funding are actually doing that stuff you probably don't know the yeah i mean we don't hang out [Laughter] not not even once not even once yeah have you tried calling him no yeah but you know the phone works both ways yeah that's true that's true um is there uh what what do you what do you make of this the fact that the this letter was signed by the eu the all the uh oh our our fans media matters that's yeah media matters i i really don't believe that they are passionate about civility on the internet yes given how many times anyone who has worked here they've had multiple times where they've twisted something you've said and then you know presented it in some incendiary way so that people will go after you right and attack you but really reading too much into twitter particularly mentions and stuff like that i it's like a form of self-harm yes you're gonna find horrible stuff but they say you know it's not a safe space for women and i am a woman um and like and the term like you know the list of things bothering me you know at john 6 4 6 4 6 2 2 calling me a is like at the bottom of the things that worry me yeah that's a good thing yeah first of all i don't appreciate you mentioning my burner what was the name of your character does your character have a name uh dirtbag deb that's really good yeah what do you want to do let's call dirt back together it's like you're hanging out
