ng up a building. You know if they were worried about drone attacks the best drone attack would get a few people. But they seem to be worried about something that would take out a whole building full of Congress people, right? Because it's not like they're all going to be all over the country and then die at the same time unless it's a pandemic I suppose. Maybe it's a pandemic but it does sound li…
← Previous segment →me but the effect is that I can yell all day long things that Democrats don't like, they'll never hear them. So if the only speech I have, because the algorithm kind of connects me with people who already agree with me, if the only speech I have is to say things that people agree with that's exactly not free speech. That's the opposite of free speech. Free speech is only useful to say things that people don't want to hear and disagree with. Agreeing isn't anything. Nobody cares about that.
So while I do trust Elon Musk to be pro free speech and that he's making the platform as close to that as they can get, I feel like even maybe just accidentally the algorithm has removed any useful part of free speech because the useful part is the disagreeing part. That's the useful part. I don't have that. So I don't know why but I don't have it. But I would ask you this following question because you are smart enough to deal with a tough philosophical question. I'm not aware of any country that has ever survived free speech. Let me say that again because you're going to think you misheard it. There's no typo in that. I'm not aware of any country that has ever survived as a country that also had free speech.
Now you should be sitting at home and saying what? What the hell are you talking about? You've got all of Europe, you've got every democratic country, you've got the United States. You know maybe you've got some problems now but clearly we've survived a few hundred years. It to me it seems obvious Scott that the democratic countries have free speech and that they absolutely have survived and thrived and thrived. They've done better than other countries. Except nothing like that really happened in the real world. In the real world at least in my lifetime our media has always been controlled meaning that you only saw things that the CIA and the government wanted you to see. It's just that you didn't know it. You thought you were seeing the news when you weren't. The thing that's different now is that we know it. It's not that free speech didn't go away. It was never here. We did not lose free speech. We never had it and we found out we never had it. That's what happened.
Right now there are a million ways that the CIA and whoever in the deep state wants to block your free speech. Do you think it will ever be known why I got cancelled for example? Just pick one. Do you think the real story of that will ever be known? I mean even I don't know. Do you think it makes sense that I got cancelled worldwide and not a single person called to ask me what was that all about or would you like to try an apology? Maybe we can save you. Not one person. Thousands of people were involved directly or indirectly with my cancellation and not one person said would you like to revise that or were you taken out of context? You know maybe you weren't taken out of context but maybe you'd like to apologize for it and then we can keep working together. No. No.
So do I have any idea why I was cancelled? Well I have speculation but given that it start

ed in the Washington Post which is the furthest thing from a free speech entity which everybody assumes is just part of the government's organ of control, they started it. You think that's a coincidence? Nope. Nope. All right so just be aware that free speech probably has always been an illusion. There's definitely more of it you can have. You know there's definitely a way to get more of it and w…
