They discuss Larry Ellison buying TikTok and his family's ties to Paramount/CBS and potential Warner Bros Discovery deals, tying this to fears of censorship and control over information about Israel; Greene recounts being permanently banned from Twitter as a sitting Congress member for anti-vaccine tweets.
- Congressman was permanently banned from Twitter in January 2022 for posting anti-vaccine, anti-mask COVID tweets.
- Tim jabs that if Larry Ellison bought his YouTube channel, he'd have to cut the interview.
- Being permanently banned from Twitter only radicalized him further rather than changing his mind.
- Nancy Pelosi fined him $2,500 every day he walked on the House floor without a mask.
- Younger generations under 40 have lost trust in institutions, while baby boomers remain glued to Fox News and CNN.
- Tim argues that no matter who owns TikTok, young people won't be susceptible to mass propaganda campaigns despite inevitable censorship and shadow-banning.
