Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point, USA.

Today's April 25th, 2022, I don't know, dominate today's headlines.

Elon Musk and the Twitter board are close to finalizing a deal.

Next, Obama's Ukraine envoy admits that Vladimir Putin would not have invaded under President Trump.

Third, a blue-anon lawyer puts Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on trial over January 6th and finally, Beijing is planning lockdowns as the CCP eyes the Solomon Islands, all the more head human events daily.

You tweet a lot.

I use my tweets to express myself. Some people use their hair. I use Twitter.

Well, but you use your tweeting to kind of get back at critics.

Rarely. You kind of have little wars with the press.

Twitter is a war zone. If somebody is going to jump in the war zone, it's like, okay, you're in there, Reena. Let's go.

Well, the story just broke this morning, only moments before we went to record the show today, record the podcast, Elon Musk.

And we've been covering the ins and outs of his quest. And that's really what it is, a quest to purchase Twitter and take it private.

In the name of freedom of speech, you know, there was an interview with him over the weekend. I guess at this Tesla or excuse me, I'm one of these TETX kind of conferences.

And they were asking him all these questions, you know, what should be banned? Should this be banned? Should that be banned? All of this.

And Elon's response, he said, look, in my view, the way Twitter should operate should simply to comply with the laws of the country in which they're operating.

That's it. Go with the laws of the country. So if India's got a certain set of laws, you go with India's laws. If the United States has a certain set, if the European Union has a certain set, you go with whatever the legislators are willing to put up and actually enact into law.

Because that's our system. That's how it's supposed to work. He doesn't want to get into this game and keep in mind that all of corporate America, all of the ruling class, all of the regime is going to come down on his head now.

Because it looks like we're in the final stages of negotiations of this deal for Elon Musk to purchase Twitter and Bloomberg and Reuters both have the story out this morning.

Twitter Inc. is in the final stretch of negotiations about a $43 billion sale to Elon Musk. Keep in mind that number is probably going to go up a little bit.

That could rank as one of the biggest ever leveraged buyouts of a listed company, people with knowledge of the matter said the social media company is working to hammer out terms of a transaction and could reach an agreement as soon as Monday, if negotiations go smoothly.

Keep in mind, he's asking or he's offering them something like 30% more than that. The company is actually worth. So it's going to be very hard for them to say, right?

It's going to be very hard for them to say, well, you know, it's not enough. And it's also, you know, it's not really realistic to think that you're going to find another buyer that quickly who's just willing to put up that much money and do all this work the way that Musk is.
