I’m Daring YouTube To Kick Me Off YouTube For This ~ Ep. 1411 ~ The Dan Bongino Show

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode in his Show Notes (a.k.a. Newsletter!):
In this episode, I dare the tyrants at YouTube to kick me off their platform for covering alleged election fraud. I also cover the stunning lawsuit out of Texas which could upend the 2020 election. Finally, I discuss the pending collapse of this major American city and the obvious reason why.

The takeaways from this episode are huge, but very simple to understand.  Dan charged right out of the chute today, with commentary about youtube.com, or as Dan's listeners know, he calls it "ScrewTube."  Turns out that ScrewTube, just today, announced a policy that said, as reported by CNBC, that "More than a month after the election, YouTube decides to crack down on misinformation on results."  Dan's attitude about that is stunning; daring, and practically begging, that ScrewTube ban him.  As you would assume, that would hurt ScrewTube, and bring many more people to Dan's Rumble.com account.

Yes, Dan definitely gets it.  There is definitely a free speech issue. ScrewTube likes to decide what you can't post, or what you can't watch.  Like the good old Soviet Union, and it has been heading that way for quite awhile.  Yes, I was banned from youtube about a decade ago.  It kind of lead to a problem for my blogs here.  Many of the videos I had embedded were no longer able to be viewed, and many of them were embedded in my blogs.  Ouch.  And, of course, I've posted many of Dan's episodes in this blog page, as embedded videos.  Yep, you guessed it, those embedded videos show as unavailable when somebody is banned, or leaves youtube.  Whether or not Dan and his crew repost all of those episodes from youtube over to Rumble.com, I do not know, but I do know what the enormous effort that it would take, for them, and also for me to edit my posts to use the Rumble videos if they become available for the older episodes.  But, Dan or Paula, if you are reading this post, I will stand with you however it goes with ScrewTube.   

One thing, I know, is that there was nothing that Dan Bongino said today about the election results that could be determined to be misinformation.  None of Dan's episodes since November 4, 2020, could be said to be misinformation about the election results.  In fact, the Fake News media was the actual perpetrator of the misinformation campaign, all for the benefit of the Demonicrat opponents to President Trump.  

Like today, when Dan gave his remarks about the Texas lawsuit against several other states, that has to go to the Supreme Court.  And now, a bunch of other states have joined in that lawsuit with Texas.  What are you going to do, Screwtube, say that the lawsuit must have been filed in another universe?  Hmm, I wonder.  Because, that is a fact, and Dan stated nothing in the way of misinformation about that lawsuit.  In a big way, that is so much more honest information that Dan gave, in contrast to the lying mainstream Fake News media, who has been lying by omission since the election, or since Arizona was called by the once-lovable Fox News.

It would be a great disservice to Dan for me to say any more about this episode, as he has such a wonderful way of explaining things.  He has a definite knack for knowing how to provide information while keeping it interesting, and very humorous at times.  I like that.  And it is a quality that is somewhat rare, at times... Very rare when it is a liberal that is speaking.  Huh!  Explains why so many of my college professors were so boring to listen to!  

Enjoy the episode!  

PS: I'm really glad that I finally got to where I could use the Rumble embedding code for Dan's episodes, and keep ScrewTube off of this page!

Because I know that Dan Bongino would prefer that I embed the Rumble.com video here, I am now doing that! It finally came to me how to do it, and I am very pleased, because it doesn't require me to use the JavaScript code to do it! So, when you are watching, you will not be seeing it via youtube.com again. Nope, not here. Ever!  No more screwtube embedded video here! Forevs! So, it's now RUMBLE all the way, Dan.  For Dan's show page on Rumble.com, click here.

Why we'll leave L.A. ~ By Rick Newcombe

By Rick Newcombe Posted on WorldNetDaily.com: July 11, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 If New Yorkers fantasize that doing business here in Los Angeles would be less of a headache, forget about it. This city is fast becoming a job-killing machine. It's no accident the unemployment rate is a frightening 11.4 percent and climbing. I never could have imagined that, after living here for more than three decades, I would be filing a lawsuit against my beloved Los Angeles and making plans for my company, Creators Syndicate, to move elsewhere. But we have no choice. The city's bureaucrats rival Stalin's apparatchiks in issuing decrees, rescinding them, and then punishing citizens for having followed them in the first place. I founded Creators Syndicate in 1987, and we have represented hundreds of important writers, syndicating their columns to newspapers and websites around the world. The most famous include Hillary Clinton, who, like Eleanor Roosevelt, wrote a syndicated column when she was first lady. Another star was the advice columnist Ann Landers, once described by "The World Almanac" as "the most influential woman in America." Other Creators columnists include Bill O'Reilly, Susan Estrich, Thomas Sowell, Roland Martin and Michelle Malkin – plus Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonists and your favorite comic strips. From the beginning, we've been headquartered in Los Angeles. But 15 years ago we had a dispute with the city over our business tax classification. The city argued that we should be in an "occupations and professions" classification that has an extremely high tax rate, while we fought for a "wholesale and retail" classification with a much lower rate. The city forced us to invest a small fortune in legal fees over two years, but we felt it was worth it in order to establish the correct classification once and for all. After enduring a series of bureaucratic hearings, we anxiously awaited a ruling to find out what our tax rate would be. Everything was at stake. We had already decided that if we lost, we would move. You can imagine how relieved we were on July 1, 1994, when the ruling was issued. We won, and firmly planted our roots in the City of Angels and proceeded to build our business. Everything was fine until the city started running out of money in 2007. Suddenly, the city announced that it was going to ignore its own ruling and reclassify us in the higher tax category. Even more incredible is the fact that the new classification was to be imposed retroactively to 2004 with interest and penalties. No explanation was given for the new classification or for the city's decision to ignore its 1994 ruling. [CONTINUE READING]
