| 0:00.0 | All right, we need to talk about the way in which Israel loyalists in the United States are not just buying up America's most influential media companies and television networks and social media platforms in order to purge it of Israel criticism and |
| 0:22.7 | turn it into Israeli state propaganda. That's something I've been reporting on for over two years |
| 0:27.6 | now. It's that they're getting so desperate because of collapsing approval and support for |
| 0:32.3 | Israel in the United States that they're doing it in a way that is so desperate, so transparent, so brazen, so unhidden. |
| 0:39.9 | And I want to talk to you about the latest developments at CBS News, owned by the extremely |
| 0:44.8 | Israel-devoted Ellison family, the multi-millionaire Larry Allison, the second richest |
| 0:50.8 | person on the planet, and his son David. And they installed Barry Weiss, |
| 0:54.3 | who spent her whole life at Columbia and then in media and now at CBS, trying to censor and |
| 1:00.3 | destroy and purge and silence. Critics are for precious country, Israel. What's going on there now |
| 1:05.1 | is beyond what I even thought they were willing to do, given how brazen it is. Now, just a quick note, a lot of you have been commenting that there's a reduced number or quantity of videos here on this channel. And there is slightly. And the reason for that is that we're now doing most of our work at substack. We went there a few months ago. I returned to Substack, actually, after I stopped doing my nightly show on Rumble. And you can see that's where we report on a lot of events, including the FISA vote this week, the Iran War, all sorts of other issues, the White House correspondence that are shooting and what it means and what it doesn't mean. And we do a lot of videos there as well. So if you want, you can go to greenwald.substack.com subscribe to our work there. We would appreciate if you do. |
| 1:46.0 | If you want to follow the reporting beyond just the videos that we do here. All right, let's get into this. |
| 1:50.4 | So if somebody were to ask me, what is the event over the last couple of years that received far too little attention, media and political attention, then was deserved given its significance? |
| 1:59.8 | I would not really hesitate to answer. I would say it was the fact that Congress took a social media platform that was used |
| 2:05.9 | by more than 100 million Americans, voluntarily used by 100 million, more than 100 million |
| 2:10.5 | Americans, especially young Americans, which is TikTok, and passed a law in cooperation with the |
| 2:15.8 | Biden White House that either banned TikTok or forced |
| 2:19.1 | a sale into the hands of American companies or American billionaires that they felt more |
| 2:24.2 | comfortable in terms of how they would censor and control the flow of information. |
| 2:28.3 | And a TikTok ban was something that was lingering in Washington for years because of the |
| 2:31.3 | concern about China, the purported concern about China, it went nowhere. |
| 2:34.1 | It never got anywhere near enough votes, was never even brought to the floor. It was something |
| 2:37.0 | people were talking about, but the supposed fear of China was never close to enough to get the votes |
