26:27 On the mat, ready to be pinned, and instead, Rogan is going to reach his hand out and offer Zuckerberg a hand up so that he can make sure to continue the censorship against the Republican Party and conservatives for the corrupt political regime. And so the interview continues. ...said you can't share this at all. We didn't do that. What we do is we have If something is reported to us as potentially misinformation, important misinformation, we also have this third party fact checking program because we don't want to be deciding what's true and false. Pause it right there. So that's a cop out. We all know that all the fact checkers are liberal Democrats. That's been totally proven. Oh, it's third party. No, it's not. No, it's not. You reach right down your pants, you grabbed a couple dingleberries and you call them fact checkers. Continue.
27:22 I think it was five or seven days when it was basically being determined whether it was false. The distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it. So you could still share it, you could still consume it. So when you say the distribution has decreased, how does that work? Basically, the ranking in News Feed was a little bit less. So fewer people saw it than would have otherwise. So it definitely... By what percentage? I don't know off the top of my head, but it's meaningful. But basically... So let me translate that because Rogan's going to let Zuckerberg get away with it again. Let me translate what Zuckerberg just said. They have algorithms at Facebook that determine what the top news stories are based on shares and likes and interactions, basically.
28:14 And so the Hunter Biden laptop story was one of the top stories for a week. So Facebook went in there, not knowing if it was real or not, he just admitted, and actively censored it and changed the algorithms to make sure that the Hunter Biden laptop story would not be a top trending story, even though it was, and they didn't know whether it was real or not. But that wasn't enough for the FBI. The FBI and the Democrats had to come in and tell Facebook, no, you're going to censor that story, which Zuckerberg admitted previously. Let's continue. A lot of people are still able to share it.
28:52 We got a lot of complaints that that was the case. You know, obviously this is a hyper political issue. So depending on what side of the political spectrum you either think we didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much. But we weren't sort of as black and white about it as Twitter. We just kind of thought, hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view is a legitimate institution in this country. It's a very professional law enforcement. They come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously. Alright, pause it right there. Well, that's all you need to know. Guys, rewind it five seconds. That's all you need to know. Oh, Mark Zuckerberg trusts the FBI. Yeah, okay, buddy. What, do you work for the FBI? But so what does he do again? He admits they centered the Hunter Biden laptop story even though they didn't know if it was real or not. And then he blames the FBI
29:39 Even though he claims the FBI didn't specifically tell him to censor anything. As if that's how it works. The FBI just shows up and says, hey, there might be some misinformation out there. There might be Russian propaganda out there. We don't know what it is, but just keep your eyes out. Wink, wink. Yeah, that's how the FBI works. They just walk into Facebook and say, look out for Russian disinformation. As if Facebook wouldn't say, really? What disinformation? How do we know? How do we know? No. The FBI came to Facebook and specifically said, do not share the Hunter Biden laptop story, censor the Hunter Biden laptop story because it will hurt the Democrats. But they say, it's Russian propaganda, it's not real. No, it is real.
30:23 And now the FBI is admitting that they knew it was real the whole time. Because an FBI whistleblower has come forward and said they knew the Hunter Biden laptop was real, but they didn't want to investigate it or admit it was real at the fear that it could change the 2020 election results. Really? Finding out how corrupt the Biden family is would change the results? Go figure. But their notion was, well, when we did the ceremonious exoneration campaign, that's the FBI, James Comey, pretending to investigate Hillary Clinton's emails. They never did. It was all fake so that they could exonerate Hillary to the public before the election. But they say, oh, that cost Hillary the election. So we at the FBI, we don't want to engage that and cost a Democrat the election again. And of course, that's all lies. So again, so where are we at now?
31:12 Zuckerberg has admitted the FBI told him to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story on Facebook, so he's blaming the FBI and then he's saying, oh, but Twitter was worse than us. Twitter just outright banned it. We just made sure it couldn't trend organically like it was. And still Rogan has not held his feet to the fire yet at all. He's on the mat, he's down for the 10 count, and now Rogan is about to offer him the hand up. Let's continue. Few is a legitimate institution in this country. What are you a fed? Law enforcement knows the FBI comes us and tell us that we need to be on guard liberals used to tell us the FBI was corrupt Lee did they specifically say you need to be on guard about that story I Know I don't remember if it was that specific closet. You know he's lying. No well. I don't know specifically he's lying the answer is obviously yes
32:07 No. Well, I don't know. What follows that? Yes. Unbelievable. Continue. Pattern. When something like that turns out to be real. Here, wait, wait, pause it again and rewind it because there's another important part there. Because he says no, and then he moves closer to the truth and he says, well, I don't know. And then he basically says yes, but he uses a different phrase to say yes. So I talked over it. Here, play it again. We got a lot of complaints that that was the case. You know, obviously this is a hyper-political issues, so depending on what side of the political spectrum you either think we didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much, but we weren't sort of as black and white about it as Twitter. We just kind of thought, hey look, if the FBI, which I still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it's like very professional law enforcement, they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously. Did they specifically say you need to be on guard about that story?
33:03 No, I don't remember if it was that specifically, but it basically fit the pattern. Something like this, it fit the pattern. What does that mean? No, I don't remember. Well, it fit the pattern. He's saying yes, it fit the pattern. What does that mean? That means yes. They said it's gonna be something about the Bidens. They said it's gonna be something to hurt the Democrats. And they said it's probably going to be the Hunter Biden laptop story, but it's Russian propaganda so censor it. So Zuckerberg has just admitted, folks this is such a violation of the First Amendment. This is such communistic tactics. This is such authoritarian, totalitarian corruption. This should be a huge news story that the FBI is now meddling in US elections. Forget about Russia.
33:57 Our own FBI is rigging elections with big tech. That's collusion. That's fascism. All you anti-fascists out there with your masks and your street signs, here's your fascism, the Democrat Party, the FBI, and big tech colluding to rig elections by censoring real news and calling it disinformation on the internet. So we are now at the point of the interview where Joe Rogan has Mark Zuckerberg dead to rights admitting that Facebook engages in political censorship at the behest of the FBI and the Democrat Party. The very definition of fascism right there. Corruption, collusion, all of it to rig elections. And Joe Rogan has Zuckerberg on the mat and he could pin him. Let's find out what Joe Rogan does next.
34:54 But it basically fit the pattern. When something like that turns out to be real, is there regret for not having it evenly distributed and for throttling the distribution of that story? What do you mean evenly distributed? I mean, evenly in that it's not suppressed. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it sucks. Yeah. Because it turned out, after the fact, the fact checkers looked into it, no one was able to say it was false. So basically, it had this period where it was getting less distribution. So yeah. But I think it probably sucks though, I think in the same way
35:36 that probably having to go through like a criminal trial but being proven innocent in the end sucks. Like it still sucks to have- Now he's just dizzied. That you had to go through a criminal trial but at the end you're free. He's flopping like a fish out of water now. So it's, I don't know if the answer would have been don't do anything or don't have any process. I think the process was pretty reasonable. You know, we still let people share it. Alright, pause it right there. So again, okay, the process was reasonable. So let's pick up where we're at now and rewind it five seconds. Oh, the process was reasonable. Well, it was the process. The Democrat Party told the FBI to go tell Facebook to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. And Facebook did it. That was the process. And Facebook is, of course, flailing around, oh, we know nothing. We just want to help people. Oh, we don't know anything. Oh, what? No, they know exactly what they did. But what does Zuckerberg say now?
