THE LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ON BOTH THE
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN SIDE CAN AGREE ON ONE ISSUE, AND THAT
IS THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON THE INTERNET IS NOT THAT BIG OF A
DEAL.
WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT IT SO MUCH?
UNFORTUNATELY HERE
IN THIS WE HAVE DONALD TRUMP AND HILLARY CLINTON BASICALLY
AGREEING THAT TERRORISM MEANS GIVING UP SOME FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHTS.
FIRST, HERE IS DONALD TRUMP.
THE PRESS HAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
THEY ARE NOT BEING
RESPONSIBLE.
BECAUSE WE ARE LOSING A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE
OF THE INTERNET.
AND WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, WE HAVE TO GO SEE
BILL GATES AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING.
WE HAVE TO TALK TO THEM MAYBE IN
CERTAIN AREAS, CLOSING THAT INTERNET UP IN SOME WAY.
SOMEBODY WILL SAY FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF SPEECH --
THESE ARE FOOLISH PEOPLE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF FOOLISH PEOPLE.
WE HAVE TO MAYBE DO SOMETHING WITH THE INTERNET, BECAUSE
THEY ARE RECRUITING BY THE THOUSANDS.
IT IS SUCH A CLASSIC TRUMP LINE.
WE HAVE TO MAYBE DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THE INTERNET.
SOMETHING.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
CLOSE IT UP.
HE STARTED THAT WITH, WE ARE LOSING A LOT OF PEOPLE
BECAUSE OF THE INTERNET.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
MY FRIENDS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE GOT REALLY INTO WORLD OF
WARCRAFT, I LOST A LOT OF GREAT FRIENDS.
THAT I BELIEVE.
AND LOOK HOW OLD-SCHOOL HE IS.
WE HAVE TO
GO SEE BILL GATES.
HE IS STILL GREAT, I LOVE BILL GATES.
NO, BUT ALSO A CHILDISH WAY OF LOOKING AT THE INTERNET.
IF I GO
SEE THE WIZARD OF THE INTERNET, BILL GATES, HE HAS THE KEY TO
IT.
SO BILL, COME ON, CLOSE UP THE INTERNET A LITTLE BIT.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF THERE IN THE CROWD ARE LIKE, YES, IT
IS SCARY AND BIG.
BOO, INTERNET.
THERE WAS A MOMENT OF FEAR, WHEN HE SAID WE HAVE A LOT
OF FOOLISH PEOPLE, THEY ARE LIKE, DOES HE MEAN US?
LOOK AT THE FASCISM AGAIN.
PEOPLE SAY FREEDOM OF SPEECH, THAT IS NONSENSE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF FOOLISH PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
WE HAVE TO CLOSE IT UP.
AND THAT CONSERVATIVE AUDIENCE -- FREEDOMS?
WRITES?
LIBERTY, NO.
BOO, FREEDOM.
IF YOU WANT TO OVERDOSE ON ALCOHOL IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES,
LOOK AT ONE OF HIS SPEECHES AND TAKE A DRINK EVERY TIME HE SAYS
A LOT OF PEOPLE OR A LOT OF THINGS.
HE CAN'T GO A SENTENCE
WITHOUT SAYING THAT.
UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE
YOU HAVE THE FOOLISH PERSON ON THE RIGHT, I WOULD ARGUE YOU
ALSO HAVE A FOOLISH PERSON ON THE LEFT, LIKELY TO BE
HER PARTY'S NOMINEE.
HILLARY CLINTON ALSO TALKING ABOUT FREEDOMS ON THE INTERNET.
YOU WILL HEAR ALL THE USUAL COMPLAINTS.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH,
ETC.
BUT IF WE TRULY ARE IN A WAR AGAINST TERRORISM AND WE ARE
TRULY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SHUT OFF THEIR FUNDING, SHUT OFF THE
FLOW OF FOREIGN FIGHTERS, THEN WE HAVE TO SHUT OFF THEIR MEANS
OF COMMUNICATING.
IT IS MORE COMPLICATED WITH SOME OF WHAT
THEY DO ON ENCRYPTED APPS, I'M WELL AWARE OF THAT AND THAT
REQUIRES MORE THINKING ON HOW TO DO IT.
SO SHE IS 1000 TIMES MORE SOPHISTICATED, BUT THAT ALSO
SCARES ME.
THAT SCARES ME A LITTLE BIT MORE IN SOME WAYS.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, WE CAN'T HAVE TRUMP UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE.
BECAUSE HIS LACK OF NUANCE WILL LEAD TO, LET'S JUST SHUT
THE INTERNET DOWN.
SO WHAT, IT'S THE INTERNET?
DON'T BE FOOLISH, JUST SHUT IT DOWN.
BUT HILLARY CLINTON IS
PART OF THE ESTABLISHMENT THAT USES THINGS LIKE ISIS ATTACKS,
MAYBE IN THE BEGINNING GENUINELY, BUT IN A CREEPING
WAY, TO WHITTLE AWAY AT OUR FREEDOMS IN A MORE NUANCED AND
SOPHISTICATED MANNER WHERE WE ARE THE FROG IN THE BOILING
WATER.
SHE KNOWS TO TURN THE TEMPERATURE OF 1 DEGREE AT A TIME.
DONALD TRUMP JUST TAKES THE FROG AND GOES HERE, MEET BOILING WATER!
I THINK SHE IS THERE.
YOU SEE IT THERE, THEY ARE DOING
RECRUITING ON THESE SITES, AS IF ANYONE IS AGAINST THE FBI OR CIA
OR WHOEVER INVESTIGATING FORUMS WHERE THERE IS OPEN RECRUITING.
OF COURSE, SHUT DOWN THOSE SITES.
BECAUSE SHE IS MORE
SOPHISTICATED, SHE THEN PIVOTED TO A SIDE POINT, WHICH IS
ENCRYPTED APPS, AND THAT IS WHAT THE ENTIRE THING IS ABOUT.
THEY
ARE ALREADY INVESTIGATING THE SITES WHERE THEY ARE DOING
RECRUITING AND MOVING MONEY AROUND, IT IS THAT THIS IS GOING
BACK TO SOMETHING THAT EVERY TIME THERE IS A TERRORIST ACT
THEY BRING UP THIS PROPOSED BILL AND BARBARA BOXER AND JOHN
MCCAIN CAN GET ON THE SAME PAGE, IT IS WHERE THEY WANT GOOGLE AND
APPLE AND SAMSUNG AND ALL THESE MANUFACTURERS OF BOTH THE APPS,
THE SOFTWARE ON THE HARDWARE SIDES, TO PUT IN BACK DOORS
FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO GO IN.
THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEBSITES WHERE THEY ARE
DOING RECRUITING, IT IS THAT YOU NEED TO BE SPIED ON BY THE
INTERNET EVERYDAY REGARDLESS OF THE LEVEL OF TERROR WORLDWIDE.
UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU HAVE EVEN A MINISCULE AMOUNT OF
EVIDENCE YOU CAN GET A COURT TO GIVE YOU EVERY BACK DOOR YOU WANT
ON THOSE PARTICULAR ACCOUNTS.
YES, YES, GO AHEAD, INVESTIGATE,
TRACK THEM, SHUT THEM DOWN, DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO.
EVEN
THIS FRACTION OF EVIDENCE, RIGHT?
AS JOHN POINTED OUT,
HILLARY CLINTON'S PROPOSAL, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT PROPOSAL THAT
HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, IS NOT TO SPY ON THOSE GUYS.
THAT IS RELATIVELY ROUTINE.
I WISH THEY DID IT BETTER, IN
FACT.
WE WANT YOU TO INVESTIGATE THOSE WEBSITES AND PROTECT US.
BUT WHEN YOU SAY NO, LET ME INVESTIGATE EVERYBODY -- THAT IS
THE DANGEROUS PART, THAT'S HOW YOU LOSE YOUR FREEDOM.
AT LEAST
TRUMP IS TELLING YOU HE WILL TAKE YOUR FREEDOMS AWAY.
THE
OTHER CANDIDATES SAY -- THEY USE CODED LANGUAGE SO YOU AREN'T
AWARE YOUR FREEDOMS ARE BEING ROBBED.
