| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucks Xtons Show Podcast. |
| 0:30.0 | Apparently you don't like it when your First Amendment rights are entirely trampled by the federal government and plan to do something about it. What's going on? |
| 0:39.0 | So I have sued the Biden administration. I think I promised you guys I would do this. |
| 0:46.0 | And you know, I don't say things I'm not going to follow through on. I sued the president, that's sort of what they call more in a ministerial capacity, but he's the head of the White House. |
| 0:57.0 | And I sued a couple of current federal employees, including the Surgeon General of the United States. |
| 1:04.0 | And maybe even more interestingly, I sued two board members of Pfizer. Scott Gottlieb and Albert Borla, who is the chairman and chief executive of Pfizer. |
| 1:15.0 | And what I'm alleging in the lawsuit, which people, if they have a spare hour, welcome to go read. I'm really proud of the suit. |
| 1:23.0 | And I think it's pretty strong. I'm alleging that all these fine people participated in a conspiracy in 2021 to get Twitter to ban me, which really started in April of 2021 when I got into Andy Slavitt, who is a senior official at the White House at the time, quote unquote, asked Twitter why I was still being allowed to tweet. |
| 1:45.0 | And Twitter, so much talking, did not immediately ban me at that point, but actually stood up for me. And then the White House steadily increased the pressure on them. |
| 1:56.0 | You know, in the summer of 2021, as the vaccines were failing, something, you know, you and I talked about a lot in 2021. |
| 2:05.0 | And then in August, Scott Gottlieb, who is a board member of Pfizer, and you may recall, Pfizer made just a few dollars selling mRNA vaccines, about $70 billion. |
| 2:17.0 | Went to Twitter and said, hey, why is this guy still being allowed to tweet? |
| 2:24.0 | And then he was, you know, just absolutely complete nonsense. And Twitter finally, you know, with all this public and private pressure on them, banned me. |
| 2:36.0 | And, you know, everything I'm saying to you, I have documented in the lawsuit and I documented it in the last couple of years on the substack, the unreported true substack. |
| 2:47.0 | You know, I think it's a very strong suit. And I think so when you know it's a very strong suit is that the media has basically refused to cover it. |
| 2:55.0 | You know, when I, when I sued Twitter, which I did in the, in December of 2021, that's a lot of sort of negative attention from people telling me what an idiot I was and how I could never possibly win. |
| 3:08.0 | And, you know, I was just wasting the court's time and my money and anybody who donated was just a moan. |
| 3:16.0 | Now, I did survive the motion to dismiss and I did get back on Twitter and I did get discovery. And so that's what ultimately led to this lawsuit and guess what? Nobody's writing about it, which tells you that they can't mock it because it's real and strong. |
| 3:32.0 | Alex, I think it's so fascinating. You used to write at the New York Times and we were talking in the second hour about the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News and how it's been covered with a fine tooth comb every single bit of discovery, every single bit. I mean, they're probably at the New York Times. I'm just using them as an example, Washington Post CNN certainly have done the same. |
| 3:53.0 | But I bet they have written 200,000 words. That might be low. It might be like 500,000 words on the Dominion against Fox News lawsuit. How much have they written about your, your battles with big, big government with big tech at the New York Times, for instance, in particular? |
| 4:12.0 | Not not one word, not one word about the Twitter lawsuit. So I just want to pause you there for a sec. Okay, take yourself out of this story, right, pretend that you aren't involved. You are looking at this as former New York Times reporter, Alex Berencine. How can that be justified from a news perspective? Not your perspective on it, but just a pure news perspective. |
| 4:35.0 | It's totally unjustifiable. And let me, let me, let me tell you why. Okay, forget Berencine V-Buy. Okay, put that one aside for the moment. I sued Twitter. Okay, no one as far as I know had ever gotten back on Twitter, thanks to a lawsuit over a band. No one has ever even survived the motion to dismiss. So strictly on a man by dog basis, that is a worthy story because it means, for example, you know, the reason as we know, as some of your, you know, |
