Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Don Lemon Suddenly Cares About Free Speech. Moves To X (Twitter)
Transcript
- 0:03So here's the headline. X announces partnerships with three media personalities to host shows
- 0:08on the platform. And I think broadly speaking, this is a good thing
- 0:12because X has now proved itself to be a reliable platform for free speech for
- 0:19non establishment narratives. So I want to see it thrive and I want to
- 0:23see more people use it. I'm uploading all my videos there now, by
- 0:27the way, which with alongside other platforms like Rumble and bit shoot and Odyssey.
- 0:32It's a good thing for me because they don't just remove my videos periodically
- 0:37like YouTube does. But anyway, X announcing partnerships with three media personalities that
- 0:43will be Don Lennon, Tolci Gabbard, and Jim Rome. If that brings
- 0:48more people to the platform, that's a good thing, and it's also a
- 0:52good way to fight back against all of the slander and attacks from the mainstream
- 0:56media. But I do have to make one comment here regarding Lemon. Here,
- 1:00Lemon touted X says the biggest space for free speech in the world.
- 1:04Well, that's funny. I thought you didn't like free speech. But I
- 1:08do think that social media, just like any other media company, especially legacy
- 1:15media and traditional media, there should be They should they should face some sort
- 1:19of consequences, and they should be regulated. That's just and at the very
- 1:23least, what you put on there should be true and if it's not true,
- 1:26then it should be actionable. Don Lemon, thanks for getting up.
- 1:30It's always great call. I think it's called periwinkle. Is that what it
- 1:34is? Take your word for it. What a grotesque group of Cretans they
- 1:40are. But yeah, Don Lemon wasn't for free speech before, and of
- 1:45course he would carelessly throw around accusations of white supremacy and racism all the time
- 1:51that people he disagreed with, knowing knowing the effect that would have on social
- 1:56media companies. That's basically demand they be deplatformed. Well, here's from Don
- 2:02Lemon's account. He says, I heard you, and today I am back,
- 2:06bigger, boulder and freer. My new media company's first project is The
- 2:10Don Lemon Show. It will be available to everyone easily, whenever and wherever
- 2:15you want, streaming on the platforms where the conversations are happening, and you'll
- 2:20find it first on x, the biggest space for free speech in the world.
- 2:23I know now more than ever that we need a place for honest debate
- 2:28and discussion without the Hall monitors. So are you saying, like the first
- 2:34ever honest debate that you're involved in, and that'll happen because you don't have
- 2:38the Hall monitors. I guess they were the ones telling you to lie.
- 2:40So look, I'm obviously not saying that Don Lemon shouldn't have a platform on
- 2:46X. I'm just commenting on the hypocrisy here. And you know what,
- 2:50maybe without the Hall monitors, maybe he's at a change of heart, Maybe
- 2:53he's had an epiphany, Maybe he's at a crisis of conscience. Maybe he'll
- 2:57actually try and be honest and objective. Now, who knows, maybe this
- 3:00show will be just as awful as his last show. I don't know.
- 3:06All I can tell you is this, if Don Lemon ever asked you to
- 3:08smell his fingers, don't, I mean, I guess unless you're into that.
- 3:15And as for the partnership with that Tulci Gabbard, who the company said
- 3:19would be sharing her unique point of view through an exclusive series of documentary style
- 3:23videos and broader content on X, she says, quote, freedom of speech
- 3:29is a fundamental right in America. Sadly, we live in a time where
- 3:31debate, dialogue, and dissent can be the cause for cancelation and censorship by
- 3:38those in power. To defend free speech, we must use it. I'm
- 3:40announcing a new partnership today with X where under Elon Musk leadership, free speech
- 3:46is not only protected, it is celebrated. And I have no problems with
- 3:50Tulca Gabbard. I think she is genuinely pro free speech and she did get
- 3:54railroaded by the Democratic Party, her own party, for having the wrong idea
- 4:00he is, and you know, she's stuck by her guns. I'm not
- 4:02saying I agree with everything she says, but I think she's solid. But
- 4:05I think she's solid. And if if we're talking about, you know,
- 4:10X being a free speech site, well I think that you know, she
- 4:12makes sense. And as for Jim Row, well he's a sports guy,
- 4:15and to be honest, I don't think i've listened to him in at least
- 4:18a decade. I have no idea what else he's doing these days. But
- 4:21strategically, if you want to bring more people on the platform, not you
- 4:25know, just political people, it's a good choice anyway. That's all I
- 4:29got to say about that. Please subscribe like and share sharing really helps me
- 4:31out. I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
