we do want you to be able to join in

great books there and we'd like for you to go

yourself on. Now are you ready, because it is time
22
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:17.560
for us to stand up, speak out, get involved, and
23
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.240
let's be intentional. You know we are six days from
24
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.800
election day and the war on free speech has become
25
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:33.560
the leading issue. So the attack of and fight for
26
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.280
the First Amendment, write a free speech went on my
27
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.319
bingo card in about twenty twenty, right after the steal,
28
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.039
when suddenly all of my posts that spoke out about
29
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:51.960
election interference, questioning of COVID, or presenting information about early
30
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.960
treatments and Ivermectin were being tagged, removed, and I was
31
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.159
being suspended from social media platforms. Who wasn't right? But
32
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.240
this isn't new. The Sedition Act of seventeen ninety eight
33
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.680
really criminalized the writing, uttering, or publishing of any false, scandalous,
34
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.120
and malicious writing or writings about the government of the
35
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:24.680
United States. In World War One, Congress passed an amendment
36
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.840
to the Espionage Act called the Sedition Act of nineteen eighteen,
37
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.840
which prohibited uttering, printing, writing, or publishing any disloyal abuse
38
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.960
of language intended to cause contempt or scorn with regards
39
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.280
to the form of the government of the United States,
40
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.639
the Constitution, the flag, or the uniform of the army
41
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.400
or navy. And then there are several provisions in the
42
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.520
Patriot Act that impact the First Amendment freedoms in a
43
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.960
fundament mental way, and one of those provisions is called
44
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.080
Section two fifteen that allowed government officials the ability to
45
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.639
read business records, library records, healthcare records, logs of internet
46
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:20.120
service providers, and other documents and papers without the traditional
47
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.959
protections that individuals have had and enjoyed. Today, we're going
48
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.519
to lean in with our special guest, Jeff Dornick, who
49
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.439
has his finger on the pulse of this issue. He
50
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.959
is the host of The Jeff Dornick Show, he's co
51
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:41.439
founder of Freedom First Network, and he's also the creator
52
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:47.959
of a new special social media platform called Pickax. Welcome
53
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.000
with Me, Jeff Dornick. Hello, Jeff, how are you very good?
54
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.079
Thank you for having me on the show. I always
55
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.120
enjoy our conversations.
56
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.639
Me too, Me too. I've had a little bit of
57
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.759
less than coffee today, so I'm stumbling a little bit
58
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.160
on my words, but I am so glad that you're
59
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.800
with me. So let's talk about it because free speech
60
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.920
is an important issue these days in age, and you
61
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:19.800
heard my introduction. However, there's a difference I think today
62
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.759
Jeff and in the First Amendment battle, and I believe
63
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.360
that we are in a period of evolution with the
64
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.959
rise of like independent journalists sort of filling the mass
65
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.319
of void that has been left by a nonexistent media.
66
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:44.160
Freedom loving podcasters are really now the truth tellers, and
67
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.920
what was the media is just seems to be a
68
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:53.519
propaganda machine that doesn't count on facts or journalism. It's
69
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.600
mission is just really to promote this agenda on behalf
70
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.800
of the White House, and their mission seems to be
71
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.319
stop Donald Trump from becoming president, go after supporters like
72
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.519
Robert F. Kennedy, Junior Elon Musk, crush to sentem voices,
73
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:17.600
stop distribution of free speech because it's been labeled misinformation, disinformation,
74
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:22.000
and hate speech, and they're really doing it at any cost. Jeff,
75
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.319
Now you're for free speech, You've got you enjoy open discourse,
76
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.199
and then you launched a platform where there's really an
77
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.279
uncensored opinion and people have the right of expression. So
78
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.839
I'd love to get your perspective on this if you could.
79
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.480
Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, it's one of those
80
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:49.240
things where the entire setup of America is basically completely
81
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.800
founded on this idea of free speech. I mean, if
82
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.360
you go back to our founders, that was the intention
83
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.560
of setting it up because we were being restricted, we
84
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.360
were being taxed without representation, We didn't have any say
85
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.360
in our form of government because we were a monarch,
86
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.319
you know, with the King of England making all these
87
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.800
insane you know rules, the British Empire had their had
88
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.319
their military that was that was basically completely occupying the colonies,
89
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.560
and we're terrorizing the people and all that. We we
90
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.439
didn't have the ability or the right to actually air
91
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.639
our grievances and so so what would happen is if
92
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.480
you airge your grievances, then the king and or the
93
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.879
generals or the military would come in and punish you.
94
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.360
I mean, they had the ability to occupy your home
95
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.360
with without your without your consent, all these different kinds
96
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.480
of things. So if you if you go back to
97
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.279
the very foundation of this country, the First Amendment really
98
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.079
hinges upon, especially when you're dealing with free speech. Two
99
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.000
specific issues. One is free speech and one is freedom
100
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.639
of the press. Freedom of speech, obviously we all understand
101
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.000
it's it's our it's our verbal words, it's our ability
102
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.920
to express ourselves, freedom of expression, all that. The thing
103
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.879
that I think a lot of people in modern day
104
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:02.920
America have been brainwashed into misunderstanding his freedom of the press.
105
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.720
Our founding fathers never intended freedom of the press to
106
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.680
be a bunch of big corporations. They had the freedom
107
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.720
to push whatever propaganda they wanted. That's what they want
108
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.959
you to believe. You don't have to be a credential
109
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.319
journalist in order to in order to practice freedom of
110
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.399
the press. Freedom of the press, according to our founding fathers,
111
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.959
was your ability to write out your grievances. So freedom
112
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.879
of speech was you go to your public town square,
113
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.399
you could verbally say whatever you want. Freedom of press
114
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.839
was you could write down on a piece of paper
115
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.000
your grievances against the king, or the government, or a
116
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.399
president or whatever it was. Go down to your local
117
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.960
printing press, print up a bunch of pamphlets, go around
118
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.080
your town square, into your neighbors and your friends and family,
119
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.600
and distribute it freely without any restriction from the government.
120
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.679
The modern day version of that would be blogs, articles,
121
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.279
social media things along those lines. So while I think
122
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.879
we think freedom of the press is Fox News, MSNBC,
123
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.320
and CNN, freedom of the press is each of us
124
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.559
individually having the ability to write out our grievances, and
125
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.639
we need to take that power back. We need to
126
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.840
take that right back, because we've by by by our
127
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.519
consent and our apathy, we've handed it over to these
128
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.080
big corporations that are just propaganda machines. And we're seeing
129
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.000
that play out in front of us, where Kamala Harris
130
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.200
and her team are pushing all sorts of insane blatantly,
131
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.279
you know, provable lies against Donald Trump and his supporters,
132
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.240
and you know the Madison Square Garden being a Nazi gathering,
133
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.120
and you can just go down the list of all
134
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.720
the propaganda that they're pushing, and the mainstream media is
135
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.360
repeating it even though they know it's a lie, but
136
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.919
they're hiding behind freedom of the press. That's not freedom
137
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.360
of the press. Freedom of the press is for you
138
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.919
and I to be able to write out our grievances
139
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.000
against the government and spout our opinions without any restriction whatsoever.
140
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:46.600
Wow.
141
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:51.759
Yes, absolutely, And I see that a lot now, with
142
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:57.519
lots of people joining in on substack, doing articles, lots
143
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:03.799
of people going out posting podcasters. I mean, it really
144
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:09.639
is to me the rise of the independent journalists. And uh,
145
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.279
you're absolutely right, we have to take that back, otherwise
146
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.840
it's just a total and complete crush of of us
147
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.519
and our ability to speak.
148
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.240
Yeah, and the and the reality we need more people speaking,
149
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.039
we need more opinions and this and this is one
150
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.919
of those things where there's there's a difference between the
151
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.960
actual you know, restrictions on the government when it comes
152
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.480
to First Amendment and then the spirit of the First Amendment.
153
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.679
And I think a lot of times we on on
154
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.840
both sides of the aisle forget the spirit of the
155
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.559
First Amendment, which which which should be? That we are
156
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.600
that we are tolerant enough of opposing viewpoints to be
157
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.000
able to hear them out. We provide a counter argument,
158
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.919
and we have this this this discussion and debate, you know,
159
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.600
like like for me, I, I you know, I was
160
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.399
the recipient because I jumped ship from from Trump over
161
00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.679
to RFK Junior when he ran for president and I
162
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.720
endore RFK Junior. I got a lot of crap. I
163
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.919
was censored, I was canceled among conservatives for doing so.
164
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.600
I was completely blacklisted from a whole host of shows
165
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.679
and networks, and a lot of it was because I
166
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.159
didn't toe the line when it came to Trump. Obviously,
167
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.799
now I'm back and I'm voting for him and endorsed
168
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.279
them the whole deal now that he and Kennedy have
169
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.039
teamed up, But the reality of it is that nobody
170
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.960
actually wanted to have that discussion and that debate and
171
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.399
that conversation. It was just my way or the highway.
172
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.120
And so for me, I'm looking at it from the perspective,
173
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.200
how do we have more nuanced conversations, because I think
174
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.519
that that's what we need. We need more nuance. And
175
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.480
the way that social media is set up right now,
176
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.480
the way that these big tech platforms are set up,
177
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.200
is not for nuance. It's set up for quick hits,
178
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.120
chasing impressions. Say something controversial, preach to the choir, what's
179
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.559
going to get you a lot of likes, what's going
180
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.159
to get you a lot of clicks and shares? And
181
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.200
all that. I'm looking at, how do we foster better
182
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.759
conversations to that way we can actually come to some
183
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.799
sort of rational conclusion, which we never do anymore on
184
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:02.799
social media. And so when when when I was setting
185
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.559
up Pickac specifically that I have that in mind as
186
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.320
we're building out all of our features, how do we
187
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.840
bring back nuance to social media that hasn't been around
188
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.960
since probably the face the early days of Facebook and
189
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.399
my Space.
190
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:22.159
Yeah. Absolutely, And I want to talk a little bit
191
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:29.679
about the censorship because what is now I term it
192
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.519
Kamala Harris's war on free speech. I don't think that's
193
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:40.519
you know, original with me, but it is a significant threat, Jeff,
194
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:47.679
to our our god given uninalienable rights and our constitutional protection.
195
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.759
And I've got a few examples, because people tend to forget.
196
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.120
But Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, he came out and admitted
197
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.240
that the Harris Biden had mean illustration forced Facebook to
198
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.759
take down posts related to the use of ivermectin and
199
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:11.000
that the COVID injections might produce side effects. And you
200
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.799
know that really hurt and caused undeniable harm to how
201
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.840
many of thousands we don't even know, he said. He said,
202
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.799
I regret we were not more outspoken about it, but
203
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:29.159
the administration repeatedly pressured social media companies to censor the
204
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:34.360
First Amendment rights. There's also a campaign staffer that was
205
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.879
for Vice President Kamala Harris. His name is Rob Flaherty,
206
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.639
and he was involved in efforts to censor Americans for
207
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:49.759
spreading supposed disinformation about COVID nineteen while he was working
208
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:54.080
in the Biden Harris White House. Now, Flattery was also
209
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.840
named in having been involved in the government's efforts to
210
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.559
censor Americans in the legal filings that were related to
211
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.039
the Murphy versus Missouri lawsuit. He is now her deputy
212
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:12.519
campaign manager. Then, Kamala brought on a gentleman named Brian
213
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:17.879
Fallon as her communications director, and he was the spokesman
214
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.840
for the twenty sixteen Hillary Clinton campaign. He was involved
215
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.559
in every one of her scandals, Jeff. He was recorded
216
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.600
in twenty seventeen saying that he was dan glad that
217
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.279
Hillary Clinton con colluded with Russia to spread disinformation on
218
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:42.600
Donald Trump. And then in twenty nineteen, Jake Tapper like
219
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:47.639
asked Kamala about the violation of free speech and President
220
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.519
Trump being banned from what was Twitter now as ex
221
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.720
and how that would be like a slippery slope They'd
222
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.200
have to ban half of Twitter, And her reply was
223
00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:01.759
just that free online expression is a privilege and that
224
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:07.320
censorship is necessary to demand, defend, excuse me our democracy
225
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:14.559
from those who spread misinformation. So, Jeff, my first words
226
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:20.600
are dictator says what? But Trump is hitler? And in
227
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.879
what world does this fly. Do you think people are
228
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.879
seeing through this?
229
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.159
I think more and more people are seeing through this.
230
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.759
And I know, you know, I live out here in
231
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.679
communist California. Again, we're surrounded by lefties and all that,
232
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.559
and you know, and it's interesting because I'm talking to
233
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.639
a lot of people and they're seeing through a lot
234
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.600
of this stuff. Now, a lot of these lefties, they're
235
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.519
not jumping ship completely to vote for Donald Trump, because
236
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.000
they're still triggered, they're still brainwashed, they're still all that,
237
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.279
but they're beginning to see through a lot of the
238
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.039
lies and a lot of the censorship. Like, I cannot
239
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.279
get behind this kind of mentality. This feels like a
240
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.279
third world country. This feels like Banana Republic. This feels
241
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.000
like everything that America is not supposed to be. And
242
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.600
so you know, and so you know, while they're not
243
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.320
necessarily going to jump ship from Kamala to Donald Trump,
