| 0:00.0 | Following the events of the US Capitol, there have been reports from many personalities not just right wing individuals |
| 0:06.4 | That they were losing thousands of followers. I have seen myself lose only a few hundred followers |
| 0:13.3 | But it's hard to know exactly how many you're losing and how many you're gaining. For instance over the past several days |
| 0:17.7 | I've seen the number of followers I have on Twitter go down by a couple hundred |
| 0:20.8 | But then go up a little bit and then go down by a couple hundred and it may actually end up being a thousand or so |
| 0:25.7 | But it could be that I lost ten thousand followers and then gained nine thousand more hard to know for sure |
| 0:31.8 | But even some individuals like Barry Weiss of formerly of the New York Times tweeted that she lost around four thousand before deleting the tweet |
| 0:38.6 | Another personality Christopher Rufos that around two thousand. We don't know exactly why these accounts are being removed |

| 1:15.7 | Supporting what was going on and we're seeing some pretty serious actions on my IRL podcast just two nights ago |
| 1:23.1 | The chat was disabled by YouTube now. I tell you that they say there was concerns about incitement and there are a lot of comments |
| 1:31.2 | That get really close to it generally on the internet |
| 1:33.6 | In fact, I have a comment from the Grovel Institute a leftist organization |
| 1:38.1 | praising the tactic of storming the capital saying they absolutely would be in favor of it which says to me escalation a hoi boys |
