Jordan Peterson Reacts To Dan Goldman's Statement That 'The First Amendment Is Not Absolute'

are actual American hostages sitting in Gaza right now under captivity of a terrorist organization and we're supposed to equate the people sitting in jail who uh who rioted and attacked this Capital we're supposed to equate them with these hostages Mr chairman you continually say that it used to be that both parties agreed with the First Amendment it didn't used to be it is it Remains the case we all agree with the First Amendment but the problem is that the first amendment is not absolute it does not protect any single thing anyone says and there are limits and that's important and what this committee has been trying to do for the last year and a half is to chill the federal government from monitoring what is going on on social media and and otherwise out there so that misinformation and disinformation can run rampant in on Elon Musk social platform and every other social platform so that they the Republicans can benefit from it in November's election that is why this committee exists the time of the gentl and we have gotten no evidence to support any of these allegations and the ones that serve in this very chamber uh they're not even hiding it anymore they're saying the quiet part out loud they want dependency they want control and the total disregard for the Constitution and the oath that many of my colleagues actually all of my colleagues have taken uh and violated it's just it's so disturbing to me many people know probably is evidenced by what is on the the face of of my iPad that I detest big government and I detest big Tech the two combined have proven to be a lethal combination when it comes to Liberty and freedom because quite frankly we know that the mo of big Tech and big big financial institutions combined with big government it's to erode and evade American's constitutional rights and we're here today because of a blatant Fourth Amendment violation where big Banks colluded with big government to turn over data that didn't belong to them to Target Americans innocent Americans because in this country it is still a fact that you are innocent until proven guilty despite what everyone is trying to do and flip that around now Dr Peterson it's good to see you again I couldn't help but notice your reaction when my colleague was talking about the First Amendment uh not being absolute and so I do want to give you the opportunity to weigh in and respond to that um I couldn't I couldn't help but notice your reaction but before I do I am really glad that you have been talking about the um social credit system that the CCP the the Chinese Communist Party utilizes I I am literally around the corner in a classified briefing while right now talking about the use of big Tech and how it is targeting uh American citizens in fact this very morning I have been inundated in my office with phone calls from Tik Tok users who have been denied access to the app because they live in my congressional district and until they call my office and demand that I do not take adverse action against the app that they cannot use it talk about big Tech directing Behavior I think that we are on a very dangerous path and I want to give you my time to really lay out in the most succinct way possible the danger the dangerous Nexus of big Tech big government and financial institutions that seek to weaponize that information against Americans and I know you are more than capable of doing that in 2 minutes and 30 seconds I I don't think people understand the degree to which they are profiled online and to which their virtual representation is now a iconic representation of them nor do they understand that they have no rights whatsoever to that representation so for example let's say we turn our information about our purchasing habits over to the bank when we open a bank account 30 years ago that wasn't such a big problem with AI systems it's a problem that's so big you can't imagine it I mean I'm certain that I my staff could find the data online to absolutely predict your voting patterns with 95% accuracy you have no idea what sort of digital footprint that you're you're leaving behind you and there are almost no protections for that and so now that and you also asked about the First Amendment yes well we have very weak Free Speech Protections in Canada and I can tell you that is not going well and so the combination in my country the combination of that and the in invasive technology that we're producing at a rate that is Beggars the imagination um produces a threat to the Integrity of sovereign citizenship the likes of which has not yet been experienced right and that's what this committee should be concentrating on like it's very interesting to watch it because it devolves continually into discussion of a a a particular event serious though that event was it's like no matter how serious that event was it pales in comparison to the potential severity of the issue that we're attempting to point to with regards to our testimony the these artificially intelligent systems can do things you can't imagine and not only can they they are and they will and that will be abetted by the collusion between large corporations and government and it's certainly the case that the people who stand on the left especially with regards to their what would you say skepticism of large corporations which is oftenly often perfectly warranted should be utterly terrified about this man you did that in less time than I thought well I had to get it right once today no I appreciate that and I think you have seen it front and Center certainly we all watched in horror as the trucker bank accounts were were seized were shut down who protested the mandates and people think that that's such a far away concept but we have seen that here with people who have been given ultimatums of jab or job and we've seen ways that they've been targeted and and positioned in ways that are just unamerican unconstitutional so thank you all to our Witnesses for being here today I appreciate you guys the fight against weaponization and we're seeing it more and more every day Mr chairman with that I yield jent yields back this concludes today's hearing
