| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, earlier just a few hours ago, there was a massive cyber attack on Twitter. |
| 0:05.8 | Several high profile accounts, including former president Barack Obama, former vice president Joe Biden |
| 0:11.1 | current presidential contender Elon Musk, Uber, Apple were all hacked and started tweeting something |
| 0:17.5 | about some, you know, come and get Bitcoin or something, send us Bitcoin, we'll send you Bitcoin back. |
| 0:22.6 | This is one of the biggest cyber attacks we've seen because these are particularly powerful accounts |
| 0:27.9 | that have, this has the potential to completely disrupt the planet. This is how absolutely insane things |
| 0:33.5 | are right now. I cannot tweet. So Adam in my absence has declared himself to be the warlord of Twitter. |

| 1:48.6 | these attacks are for them to show us now seven years later that they can take Obama Biden, Elon Musk. |
