Joe Rogan - Why Anthony Cumia Was Kicked Off Social Media

Figure out those codecs. They're going to have to figure out. Yeah. They're going to get drivers to make all this stuff work and there's, you're going to miss a lot of it. Yeah. All the info is literally ones and zeros and has to be decoded and put back together again. And some important stuff, if it's on a drive somewhere, it could just get nuked. Yeah. Yeah. It's gone. And then gone forever. All the things that people figured out, gone. Uh, don't you wish that would happen at some point? I dunno. I'm so cynical, man. You really have lately more so. I think over the course of the past few years, I've just gotten more cynical. And, uh, I think social media, uh, had a big effect on me. Uh, well, you engage too much. Yes, I did. I'm off social media now. I have been for, for maybe, uh, months at least. You know, I was at a personal choice. Well, Twitter kicked me off quite a few times. What did they kick you off for? Just dumb shit too. It wasn't even, um, it wasn't even that bad. Like the last one, it was, uh, I was defending Jimmy Norton. Some girl was on just bashing Jimmy. And, uh, and I was like, look at you. I go, I don't even know what you are. First of all, you're either a masculine girl or a feminine guy. And your hair looks like it was dyed with period blood. And boom, God, they fucking permanently suspended me. Wow. That was, that was it. Period blood. You can't make fun of menstrual cycles. You can't make fun of that. You can't make fun of somebody's looks if they're sexuality. And I kind of called them a femme, uh, or, or a butch, whatever it was. Whichever, whichever case. Whichever case. And to this day, I still don't know actually, but, uh, so I get kicked off a lot. I have a Twitter account now, but I have not told anybody what the name is or, cause I just use it for research for the show. Right. Cause, uh, Twitter gets the news before the news. Yeah. Like that's where everything breaks now on Twitter. You know, what's interesting to me, Louis Farrakhan still on Twitter. It's, it's amazing. You ever read some of the shit he says about evil Jews? Crazy anti-Semitic. Unbelievable. Yeah. Unbelievable. And for whatever reason, they're scared to kick him off. Yeah, they won't kick him off. I guess, uh, Laura Loomer is a Jewish kind of independent reporter girl and, uh, nutcase slash nutcase, whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever you want to chain herself to Twitter. Yes. Hilarious. I just watched it, uh, on Periscope as it was going on and she's got a bullhorn and she's just yelling, uh, at Twitter. That's where you lose me. Are you going to boo a bullhorn? Yeah. You know, it's funny. It's kind of left wing tactics she was using because conservatives, the right Republicans, whatever you want to call it, are pretty mellow when it comes to, they don't demonstrate really. They like to just get in there and do their shit, whatever it is. Uh, but liberals really like getting out there and marching and yelling and bullhorns and stuff like that. So it was weird. Like to see that on the other end. Yeah. Uh, but she, she just screaming and, uh, I guess, I guess they, they unhooked her and, uh, and arrested ourself. What did they, what did they kick her off of Twitter for? They kicked her off for talking about, uh, Islam and talking about how, uh, Twitter was celebrating, uh, women's day, whatever, whatever that was, uh, on a certain day by, uh, focusing like the picture was one of those, uh, Islamic women that got elected to office up in, uh, was it Minnesota or somewhere? So she said how hypocritical that was because, you know, Islam is for female genital mutilation and, uh, against women's rights and they kill gay people. And, and that's all she posted. And she got kicked off for hate speech against Islam. And, and then her argument was Louis Farrakhan is saying, you know, I'm not an anti-Semite, I'm an anti-termite equating Jews with insects, which is pretty 1930s Germany kind of a thing. So, uh, you know, while her heart was in the right place, I guess, uh, it did come off a little wacky. She also had a, um, star David, a yellow star David on her shirt, uh, as she was chained to Twitter and people got upset with that. Uh, there she is. I just thought to tell you the truth, I thought it was a good strategic move because you're going to buy time with that. Cause the police do not want that optic of a uniformed guy kind of pulling a girl off there wearing a star David thing. It just, a picture looks bad. So it might've bought her some time, but I don't know if that was her motive. She planned it out well. She did. Apparently it was the number one, uh, trending topic on Twitter, uh, which is odd that, you know, she gets kicked off and ends up being the number one trending topic. What's really odd is this is while Manafort, he may have purged himself, Mueller's going after Trump's deeper ties. Cohen is now saying that Trump was in cahoots with Putin. He was going to give him the $50 million penthouse tower in Moscow. Yeah. Yeah. You know, all that, but like, no, no, no, that girl got kicked off. She kicked off Twitter. It sounds ridiculous because I got, like I said, I got kicked off and, uh, I'm, I'm a little bummed about it. Uh, but, uh, it's, cause it's odd. It's not just a private company anymore that can do what they want. I'm not for government regulation. So I don't know how you fix this. But Twitter is now a thing where the president's on it. World leaders are discussing things on it. Emergency management, FEMA and the weather services, they put out alerts in case of a danger or some kind of event that's going to happen. And because of your political ideology or calling a girl period blood hair, uh, you're not privy to alerts and safety information that.
