| 0:00.0 | Alex Jones has finally been banned from the last large social media platform, Twitter. |
| 0:04.8 | Last night we heard that because Alex Jones confronted Oliver Darcy and this violated Twitter's |
| 0:10.2 | abusive behavior policy, he was going to be permanently banned from the platform as well as |
| 0:15.1 | InfoWars. What's interesting was that before Twitter made the announcement, some news outlets |
| 0:21.3 | tweeted the story out which means they had it written before Twitter actually announced that |
| 0:25.8 | Jones was going to be banned. And Oliver Darcy, the subject of the story, the reason Alex Jones |
| 0:31.7 | got banned, tweeted the story out at the exact same minute as Twitter. This means that Twitter |
| 0:38.1 | contacted the media and told them beforehand what they were going to do, that Twitter knew they |
| 0:42.6 | were going to ban Jones and didn't tell Alex Jones until the media knew and already had the |
| 0:47.3 | story written. Naturally you have people screaming collusion, they're saying the media is working |
| 0:51.9 | hand in hand with Twitter to ban the competition, at least as with Paul Joseph Watson, who works |

| 1:07.8 | banned is going to generate a lot of buzz, so of course Twitter is going to contact the press and let |
| 1:11.6 | them know. But after going through the evidence I have to conclude that at least by a bare minimum |
| 1:17.2 | standard I think you actually can say there was some collusion. Because these news organizations, |
| 1:23.2 | in fact, Oliver Darcy has said the only reason Alex Jones has been banned is because of media pressure. |
| 1:30.0 | If the media, if Oliver Darcy, the subject of the story in which Alex Jones has been banned, |
| 1:35.9 | even CNN includes themself in the story was given advanced knowledge and last month they took |
| 1:41.9 | credit for putting pressure on these companies to ban Alex Jones, I have to say at least by a |
| 1:47.2 | bare minimum definition, there was some back and forth between the companies and there was a |
| 1:52.1 | desire to ban Alex Jones. So let's take a look at what actually happened, let me break down why I |
