As I'm sure you heard by now, yesterday, early in the morning, about 05:00 a. m. Eastern time, Elon Musk reactivated Alex. You know, whose Twitter accounts now known as x, after a five year ban. And if you've been watching my videos for the last few days, you know that we were hoping that this would happen, and then we were expecting this would happen. And then it became clear that it was going to happen. 

It did happen. And of course we are expecting. We were expecting the media to completely lose their mind. But now they're going to have a bigger meltdown than we could have possibly even imagined. Because yesterday, after the account was restored, Alex was given the opportunity to do an interview with Elon Musk for several hours live during a Twitter space. And I'll play some of the clips in just a moment where Alex graciously brought me into the conversation so that I could ask Elon Musk several questions as well. 

The media meltdown is only just getting started and is going to continue to swell. Elon Musk reinstates Twitter account of conspiracy kingpin Alex Jones not only did he restore the account, but I think Alex had around 700,000 followers before the ban, and now he has double that at 1. 4 million. But first, just a quick heads up. There's only two more days to order any of my shirts from Markdice.

I was up very late Saturday night, technically Sunday morning, and saw that the account was restored, and then posted this rather lengthy and detailed explanation to highlight the importance that people should point out the real reason why he was banned, contrary to popular belief, not because of his comments about the school tragedy, but because of the confrontation with Oliver Darcy. 

And this is admitted from Twitter, they claimed it was harassment. People should watch Tucker Carlson's interview to get to know the real Alex, not just his flaws and mistakes. The media spent years amplifying and trying to make his identity. I said he's a genius. But like most geniuses, it's counterbalanced by equal size flaws it's not fair to define him by those flaws, etc. Etc. And then I woke up yesterday morning noticing that Elon Musk himself replied, saying, accurate. 

Then a few hours later, Mario Nofal, who is one of the biggest Twitter space hosts, which is the Twitter X group chat hosted Alex and an ensemble of other independent voices and patriots, from Congressman Matt Gates to Vivek Ramaswamy, General Michael Flyn, Jack Pasobic, Alx, a whole bunch of people who were able to just have a great conversation with Alex. And then Elon Musk joined the space, and Alex was able to have a conversation with him for like 2 hours. 

And then, like I said, he graciously brought me into the conversation to ask Elon a few questions myself. I'll play the clip in just a second. And I basically just dumped like three different topics on him at one time. Because the way that the Twitter spaces work is usually, if you're not one of the panelists, once you ask one question, then the host is going to mute your mic. 

So there was a bunch of things I wanted Elon to address, so I just dumped them all on him at one time. Wasn't maybe the best strategy, but here's how it went. Let me get one question from Mark Dice, because this is the best interview ever. Mark Dice is a great journalist. He stood up for me for the last five years when nobody else would. Mark, quick question for Mark, please. 

A comment, really, just to reinforce to everybody listening, all the journalists. And thank you, by the way, Elon, for unbanning Alex, for everything that you're doing for the platform, for humanity. But I just want to reinforce, and I'm glad you retweeted this, Alex. The reason why Twitter cited Alex being banned, contrary to popular belief, is not because he entertained some conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook, as crazy as they were. 

And Elon just confirmed that. The Twitter logs said this. He confronted Oliver Darcy, a public figure on public property, when he was working in the capacity of a journalist. And they cited that. But Mark, that's old news. Let's move on from Alex Jones. Well, once you're talking to Elon Musk, what's your question for Elon Musk? I didn't see the Twitter file. In the Twitter files, can you release data about the choices that were made regarding the trending list? Because the trending list drives the news cycle, as you know, and they can create a self fulfilling prophecy by manually inserting topics in there, getting people to talk about them. 

It becomes a topic. It becomes news. Did I miss that in the Twitter files or was that just not released? I would like more data on the manipulation of the trending list to manipulate the news cycles over the previous ownership. Yeah, well, there was a significant manipulation of the trending list and yeah, worldwide. I feel like as a general rule of thumb, whatever conspiracy theory you've got about Twitter is probably true, even more true than you think it is. 

Are you taking precautions? Yeah, well, I think the path to having sort of a clean system is maximum transparency. So that's why for community notes, the software for community notes is completely open source. You can see every line. The data for community notes is completely open source. You can see the data, you can see the logic, and you can independently create the community note conclusion. So you can tell right away if there's manipulation with these things. 

It is not black or white. There's always going to be some degree of manipulation, but you just want to try to create, put as much sunlight on it. As I say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. You want to have it be as clear and transparent as possible. This will minimize the amount of manipulation. So the more visible something is, the less it is in the shadows, the cleaner it will get will not be perfect, but it will be much better than something that is hidden. 

One other point, I hope that you're making precautions for the possibility of x being banned from the App Store, using it as a save to home screen type of a feature. As you know, that's probably a very real possibility over the next twelve months. But one other thing here, and again, appreciate your time. I would also just politely ask that the Infowars account and Owen Schreyer and Rob Dew, their employees of Alex, be unsuspended. 

They were lumped in with that initial suspension and maybe, I think it's time. I do believe CNN violated the terms of service of harassment. They posted a video a while ago, years ago, showing them harassing a poor old lady because she shared something on Facebook that originated from Russia. And you can see on the house, they show up to her front yard, you can actually see her address, the number plate right on her house. 

And that's still on Twitter. But Mark, let's not become exactly, I just kind of want to troll them, give them taste to their own. I do want to be clear that doxing, which includes revealing the pseudonym of someone. So I want to be clear sometimes some publications have claimed that revealing the pseudonym of someone is not doxxing, when it obviously is, will result in at least a temporary suspension. 

We will be very reluctant to give permanent suspensions. But we will give temporary suspensions for any kind of doxing activity or anything that endangers the health of another person in a meaningful way. It does not matter who you are, it doesn't matter how big you are or small. I should say one we do have a UN exclusion rule, which is that if it's a head of state recognized by the UN, even if they say things that are kind of crazy, which they do, then we don't suspend ahead of state just for the same reason that the UN allows heads of state to say crazy things at the UN assembly. 

Now, I would have liked for him to commit to releasing the internal documents regarding the discussions about the censorship and manipulation, the manual insertion, the curation of the trending list in order to drive the news cycle. Because like I said, if they manually insert a topic, people think that it's a common thing. They start posting about it and it becomes common. It then starts making a news. So that's what I was hoping to get out of him, is to commit to another detailed data dump of the Twitter files about the manipulation of the trending module, which wasn't done and nobody else seems to have pressed him about. 

And I wasn't being sarcastic about this tweet from CNN violating the terms of service. I'm not going to show it. But at the end of this video where they showed up to this poor woman's house to pester her about sharing something on Facebook that originated with the Russians, they do show her address plate on the side of her house and they use her full name. They mention what cities she's in. 

So this is a violation of Twitter's terms of service. So I was hoping to encourage to bring this to Elon's awareness to get him not to ban CNN, although that would be hilarious. But to deem this tweet a violation, to pull it so that we could then send them a taste of their own medicine, especially on the same day that they restored that Elon restored Alex Jones, especially when CNN was instrumental in getting him banned. 

I just thought that would have been some poetic justice. That's what I was going for with that comment. It was very interesting to see who on our side, or who pretends to be on our side, who pretends to support free speech, were encouraging people to vote yes in the poll that Elon had posted the night before, asking whether or not Alex should be restored in the platform. And there were some pretty big names. 

Vivek Ramaswamy, encouraged, said this platform is the last best hope for free speech on the Internet. This makes the answer clear. Bring him back. Marjorie Taylor Green also encouraged people to vote in the poll and then welcomed back Alex, celebrating his return by making this post. And Matt Gates was a part of the Twitter space who congratulated Elon on doing the right thing. So that's basically two members of Congress and only one presidential candidate who support free speech. 

I made this comment last night saying I can't help but notice the complete absence of mainstream conservative pundits from the chorus of people who encouraged others to vote for Alex's return on X and missing from noting the victory for free speech once Alex restored his account. Just a bunch of independent voices and self made men and women, along with a few America first members of Congress, MTG and Matt Gates. 

We see you cowards who stay silent. We won't forget. Is it Fox News pundits? Is it daily wire hosts celebrating this amazing victory for free speech? Were they the ones helping to lead the charge to bring Alex back? Of course not. The memes are absolutely fantastic. I'll just play a couple. This one from not poso. Here's one more. I don't know who made this. You got to watermark your memes, guys. 

Yes, there's back bug. Yankees back. And look at this breaking news. The official infowars account was just restored. It was not initially restored. Only Alex's personal account was restored, which is why I asked Elon politely not to forget about the official infars account. And Owen Schroyer's account, also restored. Thank you, Elon. And by the way, the CS Owen's official account, his original account that was banned. The reason it shows only 15 followers is because that's what happens when an account is restored. 

It takes a little while for the followers and the people that that account was following to repopulate. So if I refresh, it'll probably show it's starting to repopulate. It takes a couple of hours for that to come back. But this is the official account, official info account back online. Then yesterday afternoon, Alex me on his show for about 45 minutes to thank me for helping lead the charge to bring him back an interview that you can either watch over on band video or he'll probably upload it to his Twitter account. 

If not, I'll upload it to mine or I'll upload it to my locals account. And near the end of the interview, he asked me why I cared so much. And here is my answer. Well, as a media analyst and somebody who is really a first generation person who saw the creation, the advent of social media and saw it become such a central focus in our lives and in our culture. 

When you were banned, it sent shockwaves through the community because it was the ultimate unpersoning, and it was unfair. And I followed your career very closely because I consider you a friend. I consider Alex, like I said, did boost my career. I've been a regular on the show since 2005. Alex has been a tremendous inspiration for me. I've been an annual guest for 18 years now. And so part of it is I took it personally. 

It was, I saw a friend of mine getting banned unfairly who didn't violate the terms. And then I saw the media smearing you and putting out fake news for these supposed reasons. It's the principle of free speech. You were banned unfairly. You were maligned. They tried to define you by a mistake and by a flaw and overlook the genius of Alex Jones. And the reason that they really did ban, of course, is because Alex Jones is a wrecking ball against the establishment and was waking so many people up and getting so many people to start questioning what it is that's going on in the deep state, in the liberal media, in the fake news industrial complex. 

And so I took it personally. As a media analyst, I was very upset. I saw this setting a terrible precedent. And since I knew you and I had followed your career very closely, I knew that what they were saying was the reason was false. And I stand up for friends. Well, I never forget that. And I've seen you a thousand times defend me. So that's why here tonight, front and center, I want to promote you. 

Now, this, I thought was actually a pretty good interview if you want to go and watch it. Usually I think I suck at interviews, but yesterday, I felt like I had drank a whole gallon of espresso. I was just buzzing from excitement, from not only Alex being restored, but then being able to talk with Elon and anticipating the liberal media meltdown. So if you want to go and watch that interview, I think it's actually probably one of my better ones.
