Summary
In this episode of Kash’s Corner, we dive into the latest installments of the “Twitter Files,” from Twitter blacklists to employees having access to direct messages to the play-by-play of how former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter.
“There’s no two ways of reading everything we’ve covered about Twitter. It’s one direction, one-way censorship, political bias, actors at the FBI and the intelligence community telling Twitter what to censor. And still, it’s just a deafening silence from the mainstream media,” says Kash Patel.
Much has been revealed in the “Twitter Files.” But much still remains to be uncovered. How did Twitter work with the FBI and DOJ? What did those internal communications look like? And how did Twitter systematically suppress alternative voices when it came to COVID policy?
We also discuss WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner being released by Russian authorities in a prisoner swap for convicted arms dealer Victor Bout, known as the “Merchant of Death.” Prosecutors said he’d been working to sell millions of dollars worth of weapons to a designated foreign terrorist group based in Colombia to kill Americans.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody and welcome back to Cash's Corner. Jan, what are we talking about today? |
| 0:16.0 | Well, I think, you know, given part of your wheelhouse while you were in the Trump administration, I do think we need to do the prisoner swap with Brittany Griner. We need to cover that, even though it was a little while ago. But I think the big thing these days is the Twitter files. What's going on on Twitter? Well, actually, if you look at the mainstream media, this is one of the things we need to talk. Nothing. Apparently, like, there's nothing big going on. Well, actually, let me just jump in on that right there. So I did look at the coverage over the weekend. So when we say the majority mainstream media, I mean CBS, ABC, and NBC for right now on TV and CNN. They spent three and a half second. That's not like a joke. That's three and a half |
| 0:57.3 | seconds collectively in the entire weekend talking about anything to do with Twitter and Elon Musk. |
| 1:04.6 | And I just keep reminding people like, what if Joe Biden's Twitter account had been shut down? |
| 1:11.6 | It's the only thing they'd be talking about. |
| 1:13.4 | This double standard, I mean, we've talked about it endlessly in the show, but sorry, |
| 1:16.3 | I cut you off. |
| 1:17.0 | I thought this was the one time maybe where the media had a chance to come in and be credible |
| 1:22.5 | to get, maybe, because we're literally talking about free speech. |
| 1:26.6 | And there's no two ways of reading everything we've covered about Twitter. |
| 1:30.3 | It's one direction, one-way censorship, political bias. |
| 1:35.3 | Actors at the FBI and the intelligence community |
| 1:39.3 | telling Twitter what to censor. |
| 1:42.3 | And still, you know, it's just a deafening silence from the mainstream media. |
| 1:46.1 | And I'm going to mention something else, which I thought was shocking. |
| 1:49.2 | I can't remember if we cover this, but I just want to mention it briefly. |
| 1:53.2 | One of the things that came out over the last while is that the admins and Twitter |
| 1:57.7 | could actually look at people's direct messages. |
| 2:02.6 | So all of those direct messages that people were actually sending to each other on Twitter, they're supposed to be private? |
| 2:06.6 | They probably still are. Well, you kind of assume they are, right? Because they're direct messages. |
| 2:11.6 | I don't know what the terms of service said, but it turned out that these admins could basically |
| 2:15.8 | hit the tab and look at the direct messages that person had been sending. And I mean, this, so you could kind of, you know, get a little bit of the inside scoop. I always was saying that the walls have years here in Twitter, right? So I was always trying to move people off of Twitter as we were talking, but I didn't imagine that they just simply had access to the DMs. Like anybody who's in this admin all that's kind of that. Okay, I didn't imagine that they just simply had access to the DMs. |
