  So hot in the heels of Elon Musk suing Media Matters for smearing and lying
• 0:07
  about X and truth Social suing twenty media outlets. Here we have Rumble jumping
• 0:13
  in the game. Here's the headline, Rumble file's federal defamation lawsuit against co
• 0:18
  founders of purported watchdog group. And of course, any platform that makes a
• 0:24
  principled stand for free expression, even when it's expression that they personally don't like.
• 0:30
  Anybody who does that is going to be targeted. And this is from
• 0:34
  the Rumble website. It says November twenty ninth, twenty twenty three, Rumble,
• 0:39
  the video sharing platform and cloud services provider, filed a lawsuit today in
• 0:44
  federal court in Florida against two co founders of a purported watchdog organization. Rumble
• 0:52
  sued Nandini Jammy and Claire Atkin, co founders of check my Ads, a
• 0:58
  tax exempt corporation that route seenly targets news outlets and platforms that do not adhere
• 1:03
  to their political worldview. As an unapologetically free speech platform, Rumble's mission is
• 1:11
  to provide all content creators and users a place to speak, listen, and
• 1:17
  debate freely, regardless of their political perspective. When anti free speech zelots whose
• 1:23
  self declared mission is to shut Rumble down, lie to inflict intentional economic harm
• 1:30
  on our company, we have no choice but to hold them accountable. And
• 1:34
  that's from Rumble chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovsky. Defamation is not free speech.
• 1:40
  We have filed this lawsuit because we have a responsibility to our shareholders, creators,
• 1:45
  users, and advertisers to act and not sit idly by when someone attacks
• 1:51
  our company's reputation solely to silence differing political views. Our mission requires it.
• 1:57
  So who is this check my ads? They say we cut disinformation off at
• 2:01
  the source, And well, we'll see about that, says ad Tech's first
• 2:06
  watchdog. Consumers don't want advertisers to fund disinformation, and advertisers are trying to
• 2:13
  stop. Now. If you're wondering where the section in this is on like
• 2:16
  CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post and their years of misinformation
• 2:23
  surrounding the Russian collusion hoax, for instance, or like say around like the
• 2:29
  hunter Biden laptop or about a million other things, Well spoiler alert, you're
• 2:32
  not gonna find it. They're not really interested in that kind of disinformation.
• 2:38
  They're more interested in that bright part for some reason, an X for some
• 2:42
  reason. And oh, look at this Open Web's secret relationship with Steve Bannon.
• 2:47
  Oh, Steve Bannon. That's terrifying. How about this from check my
• 2:52
  ads? Fox News is trying to overthrow the government? You can stop them?
• 2:59
  What might I say that perhaps this might be a little bit of misinformation.
• 3:02
  Yeah, and again, for some strange reason, they're not at all
• 3:05
  concerned about like MSNBC or CNN. I guess they must just not watch those.
• 3:09
  And I guess this is the sort of thing that Rumble is suing them
• 3:13
  over. How to block Rumble from your ad campaigns? A helpful guy to
• 3:17
  blocking your ads from the Internet's most toxic platform. You know, it's funny.
• 3:23
  I see tons of toxic stuff on YouTube, but they don't seem very
• 3:25
  concerned about that. I guess it must be the right kind of toxic.
• 3:29
  And let's see, Well they've got a picture here with that. We've got
• 3:31
  Russell Brand in it. Well, he's terrifyingly far right, obviously, I
• 3:36
  mean, all that anti war stuff straight out of the fascist playbook. Oh
• 3:39
  and if that's not terrifying enough, they've got Dan Bongino, and he's very
• 3:45
  popular and he has different ideas than block my Ads and let's be honest here
• 3:51
  the Democratic Party, because that's what this is really all about. And so
• 3:55
  you know, obviously he has to be taken down and look at this absolute
• 3:59
  nonsense. For years, the platform has been courting the likes of Brand,
• 4:03
  the toxic Russell Brand. I guess he meditated too much and turned into Mussolini
• 4:10
  and other toxic personalities like Andrew Tatan Joe Rogan. It says Rogan declined it's
• 4:15
  one hundred million dollar offer last year. Yeah, well, Joe Rogan's on
• 4:19
  that other f far right fascist site at Spotify. And apparently the only reason
• 4:25
  these people shouldn't have a platform is because check my ads or sorry, the
• 4:30
  Democratic Party don't like them. And here it gives instructions on how to block
• 4:34
  Rumble if you're an advertiser. And of course they use all this to pressure
• 4:39
  companies to do what they want. It's like, hey, nice company,
• 4:43
  you got there, shame of something should happen to it, and back to
• 4:46
  rumble dot com. Jammy has a track record of launching pressure campaigns against advertisers
• 4:51
  on other outlets, including Fox News and Breitbart, and has worked with Media
• 4:57
  Matters, the hyperpartisan organization that also attempts to hound advertisers to stop spending on
• 5:03
  outlets that support the free exchange of ideas. The lawsuit alleges that Jammy and
• 5:09
  Atkin cannot tolerate Rumbull's content neutral philosophy and want competing points of view to be
• 5:15
  silenced. Quote defendants have repeatedly peddled the false narrative that Rumble is primarily monetized
• 5:23
  by and wholly dependent upon revenue from Google Ads, when in reality, Google
• 5:28
  Ads now represents less than one percent of the company's revenue. The suit states
• 5:33
  this narrative is particularly damaging to Rumble. The suit also points out that the
• 5:39
  defendants knew that their claim about Rumble's reliance on Google Ad revenue for survival was
• 5:46
  false, and the defendants refused to correct their statements when Rumble demanded a retraction.
• 5:51
  In the suit, Rumble is seeking actual, presumed and punitive damages in
• 5:57
  addition to all costs and fees of associated with the case. Rumbell has asked
• 6:02
  the court to prohibit the defendants from repeating their false statements and for other remedies
• 6:08
  deemed appropriate. And we'll finish it off with this. The irony is that
• 6:12
  the defendants piously claim to be in the business of protecting all of us from
• 6:17
  disinformation, but they are the ones lying to the public. Yeah, and
• 6:21
  I think it is obvious at this point that there's an incestuous relationship between government
• 6:28
  agencies, nonprofits, and corporate media to silence narratives that are not approved.
• 6:34
  And that's why it's important to support platforms that actually have a principled stand on
• 6:39
  free speech. Even if it's not perfect, we're still moving in the right
• 6:43
  direction anyway. That's all I got to say about that. Please subscribe,
• 6:46

• 6:48
  I will see you next time.
