Transcripts from Bannon’s War Room on Rumble: Darren Beattie on Musk Releasing Receipts of Twitter Suppressing Information During Midterms

Let me bring in Darren Beattie bother right go to Pennsylvania to Delaware, we got Delaware County we're going to talk about really election fraud and people have gotten to the bottom of it.  We're going to go, we got Matthew Tyrmand on Brazil, we’re repacked but I got to bring Darren Beattie of Revolver. 

Darren we’ve been following this I don't know has Elon come up with and this is why Jason Miller and Gordon Chang are there with our allies in Tokyo at this huge conference at CPAC really talking about essentially, American Japan and our alliance in East Asia against the Chinese Communist Party. Elon Musk is doing something extraordinary today.  He's putting forward the receipts of really the suppression of vital information before the 2020 campaign on the involvement of the Chinese Communist party financially with the Biden family.  Darren has that happened yet?

Darren Beattie

As far as I'm aware it has not happened. I would expect it to kind of blowing up on Twitter.  I guess it was supposed to happen at 5 and there's some kind of indefinite delay.  They wanted to Fact Check on some things.  So as of one hour ago Elon tweeted, we're double checking some facts so we should probably start live tweeting in about 40 minutes and he tweeted that an hour ago.

So, I don't know if he's getting calls from mysterious figures telling him to reconsider his plan to lay out before the entire public just the dirty dealings that go on behind the scenes.  How that censorship sausage is really made.  Maybe it's just not for the public to see just how ugly and corrupt it is.  So, he's keeping us in suspense, I’m sure.

Steve Bannon

I know we have you on here for this Holder blockbuster story, but I got to play do we have, Memphis do we have? I want to play brother how they're pivoting already this is from right before we came on air, right as we were coming on air, MSNBC, this is their take on Twitter right now let's go ahead and hear it.

MSNBC Clip

Is Twitter a national security threat?

Mary McCord

Well, you know online radicalization whether it's radicalization to violence that is promoted by foreign terrorist organizations like the Islamic State or whether it's radicalization to extremist violence based on anti-Semitism, anti LGBTQ, racist comments, we know the statistics show it. 

The evidence shows it and our real-world examples show it that this kind of online extremism leads to radicalization. It leads to recruitment. It leads to plotting planning, and it leads to real world violence there are legion examples of..

Steve Bannon

Stochastic. Darren Beattie this one from their public square that they can control the entire narrative and you said hey this was the narrative engine to now it's a national security threat, Darren Beatty.

Darren Beattie

Well, I mean first of all they're absolutely right. It is a national security threat and that's what I've been saying too is that Twitter and control over the information flow on the global public square is absolutely critical to the major stakeholders in our corrupt and illegitimate regime.  It's a regime that is so untenable in its corruption that it can't exist without a tightly controlled censorship regime. 

And so, in a very real and a very literal and existential sense, it is a national security threat what Elon's doing and that's why from the very beginning I anticipated a very kind of severe backlash from the regime.  I think he's only started to see the very beginning of it and just for that particular commentator I just have to say Mary McCord I'd never heard of her but there are some faces that just the physiognomy transports you back to like puritan New England and you think like it's going to be a witch burning thing. 

I know I'm mixing metaphors here, but she has that like Quaker face that is positively like colonial and it just like there are echoes of like ancient trauma there of women clamoring for the witch to be burned.  And I just got that sense in a very visceral level watching that clip.

Steve Bannon

Media matters you get a free shot on goal on that one, just go for it, just go for it just go for it it's a Friday it's a Friday afternoon the sun's over the yard arm. 

I want to go to you before we lose you and by the way, Darren's going to be up and doing the Elon Musk.  We got Natalie Winters on the trigger, Mike Davis and Mike's going to be on Laura Ingraham tonight.  So, everybody's deployed.  Everybody's on this. 

I happen to think since I do know a couple of lawyers, a couple of senior people around Elon, I would anticipate some people are saying hey look dude we can't put this stuff out right now because this is going to be so litigious. It’s got national security implications. It's got legal implications. The board and the management team should be sued to add infinitum on fiduciary duty.

This thing is so complicated, but we'll see.  It's Elon Musk and he rolls the way he rolls. He’s putting chips in humans.  He’s changing homo sapiens.  I got to go to the Eric Holder because I want people over the weekend to jump into this because it shows you in Arizona you're seeing how Perkins Coie, Mark Elias, the judges, they're all in perfect like synchronized swimming. They're so good. Tell me about Holder in your big story on Revolver.

Darren Beattie

Yeah, this is a huge huge piece on Revolver, people following the Elon saga know there was a recent kerfuffle with Apple and Apple is one of the many considerable levers that the regime has against Twitter because they hold such a dominant share over app distribution.  And I think like 80% of people who use Twitter use it on mobile.  So, it's a big deal, the leverage Apple has to say hey we potentially could cut you off from the App Store and there's a precedent for that, which happened under Parler. 

And in fact, the disgraced and recently departed trust and safety head of Twitter, a guy Yole Roth basically penned a piece in the New York Times in a thinly veiled fashion saying this is precisely the next step that should be taken in order to cripple Twitter.  And so, this piece which is white hot right up on Revolver. We take a look behind the curtain. 

We show you how the sausage is made. We say well who is the trust and safety equivalent at Apple who would be critical to this decision making process as to whether basically de-platform Twitter and the current one has basically no internet footprint other than a wedding registry and so can't say much about her but her immediate predecessor, there is a fascinating and indeed scandalous paper trail and just to long story short here, Apple is the biggest company in the world, it's kind of like a market cap $2.4 trillion.

They had anyone in the world that they could have chosen to be their head of trust and safety which is glorified sort of Orwellian title for their chief censor, the person in control of all content moderation decisions.  Of all the people in the world they could have picked you think they would please pay lip service to fairness and choose somebody with at least the appearance of a disinterested approach to content moderation.

But no, they picked an individual called Margaret Richardson who got her start on the Obama campaign and women for Obama was on the Obama transition and then from day one January and she was Eric Holder's right-hand woman from the very start. She started with him in 2009 as a chief counselor and she worked her way all the way up to the very end of the Obama administration as Eric Holder's chief of staff.  She was with him through thick and thin. And people don't understand like it's one thing to be an Obama person, it's another thing to be Eric Holder's person.  Eric Holder is arguably the most aggressively hyper partisan official associated with full Obama era.

Steve Bannon

He's the enforcer. He's the wartime consigliere.  He's the enforcer. 

Darren Beattie

So, this is the woman head of trust and safety. Trust, by the way how do you trust a woman who is standing by Eric Holder’s side while he was doing Fast and Furious basically this illegal operation to run guns to Mexican drug cartels because we wanted to support the Sinaloa Cartel.  There are so many dirty things that she was involved with and she's not just some kind of ally of convenience to Eric Holder.  It's really amazing but after the administration you know how people jump ship out like just before the administration ends to cash in. 

Well both she and Eric Holder went to Covington, the law firm where they you know cashed in together then they went together to Airbnb and then they went together to, she followed him everywhere and so they're just joined at the hip.  And she was the one responsible for these key decisions including Apple deplatforming Parler.

So, she's just you know her story is interesting and scandalous and it's own right, but the broader context here is it really shows you what a scam the whole trust and safety mafia is, that they're appointing literal you know hyper partisan Obama officials to be the arbiters of content on multibillion and an Apple’s case multi trillion dollar companies.
