Fn. 27 — Ethan Klein Lawsuit Response

Source: YouTube Transcript  ·  Klein v. Samsen Case Materials
0:00Hey everyone, it's me Noah. Long time no see. Today I'm going to talk about being sued or being threatened with a lawsuit.
0:06At least uh I haven't actually been sued yet. Ethan Klein and Mutahar from Some Ordinary Gamers have said that they plan on suing me for defamation. They're
0:14doing this in response to a video I posted in March uh called the YouTubers who backed a genocide. I brought up these legal threats in another video of
0:21mine, but they uh decided to escalate things by paying a lawyer to write a cease and desist uh which they sent to me in late March. And in it, they
0:30ordered me to retract my video within 3 weeks or get my little ass sued. Ethan Klein went on to read the cease and
0:37desist on his live stream and repeat this threat over and over again on subsequent episodes. He started his second video by saying,
0:44"Ethan's threatened to sue me. I'm not It's not a threat. I'm going to sue you." Oh,
0:49wait. I'm literally going to sue you for defamation.
0:52Noah said in his second video, "Ethan's uh threatening to sue me. Have fun with that, I guess." He said, "Well, I'm about to have fun with it, and
1:00unfortunately, I don't think you're going to have be having much fun with it."
1:03He didn't respond to my video by his own admission. He just read what his lawyer wrote for him and then said that his full response would happen in court.
1:11I know he wants me to to uh respond to every point in his video, which I will do in a much more uh formal setting.
1:20Oh, what do you mean by that?
1:21And I can't wait for you. you know, you can do your cute little videos and all that kinds of business uh on your YouTube channel, but when it comes to uh
1:29you know, I'd love to see you reason out in a court document about how I and Mudahar support genocide. I really look forward to that.
1:37Despite all of the threats from these guys, um as I said at the outset, I haven't been sued yet. It's been over 3 weeks since the retraction deadline, and
1:45as you may see on my channel, the video is still up. Here's a clip of the last time Ethan even mentioned it, which was over two weeks ago.
1:52Noah Samson, he has missed his deadline.
1:55Actually, Mudahar is in the chat. What did he say?
1:58Did you see that? Noah is apparently moving out. Yeah, he's uh sorry, no video been moving, etc. Video coming soon. It's amazing how nobody wants to
2:06respond to me. Everybody goes, "If you're going to level an attack against me, the least you could do is respond."
2:11God, I love this man. Why won't you play with me? Why does no one want to play with me? Come on. Ever since the retraction deadline passed, the ball has
2:19been in Ethan's court. Not responding to a cease and desist is a response on its own. Right. According to these people,
2:25I'm still actively defaming them because my video is still public. So, it's on them to do something about it. But again, aside from some beautiful bills,
2:34uh my mailbox remains empty. If you're wondering where I've been, there's a few reasons I haven't really been able to post much. I've had some personal things
2:41going on. I recently moved. I also got doxed by a certain community of fans of a certain podcast, which I'll talk about in another video. But one of the things
2:50that I've been dealing with is preparing for the possibility of being sued. This is all new to me. I've never been sued and I've never sued anybody. So, I had
2:58to spend some time and money learning about defamation law and talking to lawyers and free speech organizations.
3:04One thing I was definitely advised was to not post for a little while because,
3:09you know, anything said online would very likely be used against me in a potential lawsuit. Now, it is possible that these people might still sue me
3:18because rich people can do whatever they want, whenever they want, including sue whoever they want at any time for any reason. But it's worth noting that Ethan
3:25has also been a bit preoccupied in recent weeks uh going beast mode in some live debates in front of hundreds of thousands of people. What?
3:34What? You don't know what I'm talking about?
3:36What is What? Yeah, it was on the list. You're lying.
3:39Yeah, I I I got a I got a free ro from a friend of mine. I still wear it every now and then. Yeah. And you're So Oh, wow. Who knew?
3:47All right. Listen, it's 5:00. Like I said, I have a family to go to. I have three kids and a wife, and I know that you have a [ __ ] cool ass race car bed
3:54to sleep in. And uh I hope you enjoy that. Okay, man. Thank you. Have a good one.
3:59and dealing with um another very real defamation lawsuit that he's currently losing to a former billionaire, which is
4:06a thing that's actually happening right now. He could be on the hook for a lot of money, which is crazy. So, maybe he's just busy and going to get around to it eventually. Personally though, I don't
4:14think they're going to follow through with these threats um for a few reasons,
4:17but the biggest one is just that they don't have a case. I think it's pretty clear that this cease and desist was sent to me with one goal, which was
4:25intimidation. It was an attempt to silence my criticism of these creators,
4:28genocide, apology, and participation in baseless smear campaigns against pro Palestine creators and movements. All he
4:35has to do to avoid getting sued is apologize for everything he said and did, admit he was either lying or
4:44ignorant, and erase the video, and also just [ __ ] just also just
4:52disgra like and just accept the disgrace that is basically lying about two people being pro- genocide, which is one of the
5:00most twisted, [ __ ] up things you can accuse someone of. This sort of thing often works because most people just don't have the resources to deal with a
5:09lawsuit. Uh, in my case, I don't have the resources either. But what I do have is you, an audience of people that have
5:16been very vocally supportive of the potential for contributing to a legal fund. I'll be honest though, I would prefer it if they didn't sue me. Not
5:24because I think they have a case, nor because I don't think we can raise the money. It's just that I don't feel comfortable fundraising for legal fees right now given the many better places
5:33that money could go, uh, like aid for the people being subjected to this ongoing genocide. Seeing as they haven't sued me yet, that's what we're going to do. Uh, that's what this video is for.
5:42It's a fundraising video. I started a fundraiser for UNRA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The donation link is in the description. I'll also be
5:49hosting a fundraising live stream with some special guests and some gaming and hanging out and other things of the sort which will start on Saturday, May 17th
5:58at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time and probably go for a few days. I don't usually stream, but I'm thinking playing some games, maybe set up a air mattress and
6:06do a sleeping stream. I've seen that before. It looks fun. I've set the goal at $200,000 because um that's what I was actually quoted as being a safe amount
6:15to fund raise in order to be able to afford a potential belongs legal battle against uh Ethan and Mutahar, which is crazy, right? That's a lot of money. But
6:24I was also thinking we could show them that that's a figure we can achieve if we need to. And instead of it going to a lawyer for some [ __ ] YouTuber
6:32lawsuit, it would go to Gaza. If these guys actually do decide to sue me though, um, in terms of the actual lawsuit, again, I'm not too worried. I told the truth and said what I believed,
6:42and I'm prepared to defend it in court,
6:44should it make it that far. If that does happen, I'll just do another fundraiser,
6:48I guess, and then we can donate whatever we don't use once the case gets dropped. It could be a little or could be a lot.
6:53That all depends on how long these guys want to drag this out. I want to talk a bit more about the uh case, the cease and desist, and a few other things. But
7:00first, we need to do a sponsor break. I got to do sponsors because my videos get demonetized and I don't post that much.

8:29what defamation actually is. So, I want to go over that very briefly. Calling somebody a supporter of a genocide is a
8:37very different thing than saying somebody's career is cooked or saying that somebody uh fell off or making a
8:45video about an internet drama. Uh, one of them is a real legitimate thing where people are are bad. And uh, the fact is
8:53that this is totally different than just a drama slop thing. This is completely different.
8:59For someone to be found liable for defamation, there's a few bars that need to be reached. First, the plaintiff must establish that the allegedly defamatory
9:07claim is a statement of fact. Next, that statement of fact must be provably false. It also must have caused demonstrable damages to the plaintiff's
9:16finances or reputation. And lastly, the statement has to have been made with actual malice. Actual malice is a legal
9:23standard. It's the highest legal standard for defamation claims and it's only applied to public figures.
9:28Basically, it means that the defamatory statements have to be proven to have been made uh with the existing knowledge that these statements were false. Now,
9:36the first hurdle of Ethan and Mutahar's lawsuit threat is establishing that claim one that they backed the genocide,
9:44evidenced by my video's title and thumbnail, is a provably false statement of fact. They immediately fail here,
9:50though, because it's not a statement of fact. It's an opinion. It's the conclusion of the arguments and evidence I presented in my video. In defamation
9:58cases, when distinguishing between opinion and fact, the broader context of where the statements were made must be considered. In the cease and desist, the lawyer they paid to write it for them,
10:08chose to ignore this broader context,
10:11opting instead to single out one word in the video's title, the word backed,
10:15characterize that word using one definition from a single source, and then argue that that word solely using the definition they've interpreted it to
10:23mean uh is a statement of fact and also a false one. And not only that, but this falsehood is one that I lied about maliciously. When evaluating defamation
10:32claims, headlines are not typically treated as statements of fact uh when the articles themselves explain how this conclusion was reached. That's what my
10:39video was for. You know, it was an hour long. I know for a fact that Ethan accused me of defaming him before he'd even uh watched it based on the title and the thumbnail alone. If I had to
10:48guess, I would say that the decision to threaten a lawsuit came from this knee-jerk reaction to my video's title and thumbnail. Uh and that knee-jerk
10:56reaction was never re-examined because it didn't need to be. Ethan has money and time and no one in his life that is
11:03willing to challenge him on something like this, especially not his lawyer who he is paying. So, whatever he thinks and says is truth. So, how do they go about
11:12trying to prove this claim of defamation? Well, it's pretty interesting. Um, they actually go with the no, I didn't defense. They essentially claim, you know, we couldn't
11:20have possibly supported a genocide because elsewhere we have said that we don't. We said the genocide is bad, so we are exempt from any criticism for any
11:29other things we may have said that do actually support a genocide. For this point, one of the quotes that they cite is Mutahar saying, "I'm not afraid to
11:38say that genocide is wrong." Wow, how brave of you, Mutahar. Aside from that being just false, Mutahar stayed silent on Gaza throughout the entirety of the
11:46genocide until it was time to join his friends on a Hassan bad smear campaign.
11:50If that's not fear, I don't know what you'd call it other than, I guess,
11:53cowardice. But even if it were true, it wouldn't matter. Pointing to examples of lip service doesn't just cancel out other things you've said. Like if someone says that they killed someone and then later says that they didn't,
12:04it's not defamation to talk about the first statement without quoting the latter. I didn't think that defense would end up being used by an actual
12:11lawyer, but uh it did, and that's hilarious. Their lawyer's aware of that,
12:15too, of how unserious this is um as evidenced by his total lack of citations for any case law in this section. Um,
12:23this whole claim, the one that's supposed to be the most prominent one,
12:26is just blank. And that's because there is no legal precedent for the no, I didn't defense. They're just completely going off vibes. The rest of the cease
12:34and desist is just sort of funny to read. Uh, a lot of it is them saying,
12:38"Your honor, he clipch champ me. Your honor, he literally didn't even watch the video." They spend like three pages attempting to debunk a bad empanada
12:45video essay because I cited it, which is just sort of awesome. It's been said plenty of times already by bad empanad included, but you can't litigate a historical argument in civil court.
12:55That's not what civil court is for, and that's not what defamation is. There's one part in the letter where in an attempt to evidence my malicious intent,
13:04their lawyer cites the disparity in the view counts of my videos, accusing me of the legal violation of clout farming.
13:11This statement demonstrates that you intended to not just have third parties spread defamatory statements about Ethan, but profit from those defamatory
13:19statements. You proved this point yourself when your video entitled Manufacturing Consent for Genocide failed to receive many views,
13:27particularly in comparison to the first defamatory video. You made the second defamatory video to further profit from your defamatory statements about Ethan.
13:35Your honor, Noah fell off and tried to climb back to relevance by putting my client's name in his mouth. I encourage people to make videos about Ethan because I think the things he's saying
13:44are harmful. I think he's spreading pro-Israel propaganda talking points during Israel's active genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. And so far
13:53that's been happening. People are making videos and more people are being exposed to the arguments against these ideas that I think are harmful. Their
14:01assumption here though that these videos could only have been made for nefarious self-interested aims, that's just pure projection. I think for these guys
14:09everything is about views and internet fame. You know, everyone is cynical and self-interested and no one actually believes the things that they say in so
14:16far as those beliefs are able to get eyes on their content. There's no way you could be criticizing someone based on any sort of genuine political motive.
14:24No, you must just be wanting to jump in on the dog pile to cash in and grow an audience of snarkers that are there not because they're against genocidal
14:32propaganda, but simply because they don't like you for no reason. Even when you're being a perfect little angel,
14:38they literally put command centers under hospitals. There was more Jews displaced than Palestinians during the Nagba.
14:45900,000 Jews were forced to choice, but by because they were forced out. The vast majority went to [ __ ] Arabs.
14:54Maybe it's just because they're anti-Semitic. That's probably it. They're probably all anti-Semitic.
14:58Anyone that doesn't like me is anti-Semitic. Ethan through his lawyer ascribes all of that to me because that's who he is. But, you know, not
15:06everyone is like that. Some people just don't like it when you use genocidal talking points because they don't like genocide. And for them, that's a good
15:13enough reason on its own to make a YouTube video. What I also like about this one is that, you know, to argue that I'm self-interested. They cite a
15:20video I made knowing full well that it would get shadowbanned and demonetized,
15:25which it did. If I just wanted views and money, I would not have made that video.
15:28To be frank, the reason I made that video was on a pretty simple basic principle, which is being against genocide. And that principle manifests
15:36itself in me wanting more people to know about how the media is normalizing this genocide. That same principle is why I
15:43made the videos about these guys. It just so happens that when YouTubers are in the thumbnail, more people click on the video. Ethan is aware of this
15:50phenomenon. Obviously, he's used it for me and many others. It is unfortunate that more people care about what their favorite e- celebs have to say about
15:59each other than an active genocide. But that's the frame of reality we're working within on the internet. And I don't know, I think people are doing
16:06what they can to try to change that or at least use it for positive goals, like getting more people to learn about the genocide. And to an extent, for some
16:14people, uh, this seemed to work. You know, I got a lot of comments saying they hadn't heard about what's happening in Gaza or about how bad things actually were until that video was recommended to
16:23them. And for most people, the only reason it was recommended to them is because I framed it around what some guys on the internet think about it. That was what I'd hoped would happen.
16:31Um, believe me or don't, it doesn't matter. What matters is that factually some people learned about the genocide and they wouldn't have learned about it if I hadn't used these creators as
16:40examples. And the same is true for creators like Bad Empanada or Overze Zealots or Chris Kunsler and more and anyone else that wants to join in and
16:48use the algorithm for uh good. And they certainly wouldn't have learned about the genocide from any of these creators themselves because despite their claims to caring about it,
16:57I've been a stalwart supporter of the Palestinian cause for many years. None of them ever talk about it at all aside from when they're, you know, baslessly
17:05smearing its opponents and running cover for the country that's committing it.
17:08They literally put command centers under hospitals.
17:11Outside of that, silence. As an aside, I think it's still open to debate uh as to whether or not this tactic is worth it.
17:18Like, is it worth the trade-off to get this information in front of more people when the conversation can so quickly turn from the issues and into creator
17:27drama? In this latest chapter, I don't think it was. Granted, I didn't really expect that these people would be petty enough uh or dumb enough to actually sue
17:34me or threaten to, but I probably should have. So, that's on me. That debate,
17:39though, uh is open only to people that actually care about and talk about the genocide, not you or you or you or any
17:46of your freak show fan bases. As far as that first group of people goes, the people whose input I care about, um they have been mostly supportive of these
17:54efforts. Do whatever you can to get the word out to as many people as possible.
17:58Um, that's the feedback I've been getting. So, that's what I've been trying to do. But again, that might not always be the case, and that is subject to change. Aside from the cease and
18:07desist being, you know, a joke, the other main reason I'm down to clown in court is because Ethan keeps proving my point over and over again. Like, every
18:15day that passes and every time he opens his mouth on his show, he continually proves that my allegedly defamatory
18:22claim that he is backing a genocide is uh actually very correct. In the very stream he was supposed to be disproving the assertion that he supports genocide,
18:32he brought out the most explicit IDF talking points he'd used to date.
18:36I feel like this is a force that's going to help end the war, not [ __ ] keeping hostages and uh underground and like
18:44sending just continuing to provoke Israel to attack them and putting [ __ ] like military
18:51complexes under under hospitals. They literally put [ __ ] command centers under hospitals.
18:57The talking point he's using there that Hamas builds command and control centers under hospitals has been Israel's primary justification for the systematic
19:06destruction of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure for over 19 months now.
19:10That talking point is a justification for one of the key elements of Israel's approach to genocide. It's genocidal propaganda. There's no other way to put
19:17it. Uh he is sharing genocidal propaganda to millions of people. A few episodes later, Ethan and his wife Hila downplayed Israel's mass targeted
19:26assassinations of journalists by claiming that the IDF doesn't do that.
19:32Look, it's not like Israel is going to do a precision strike on Hassan. They don't [ __ ] But it is dangerous. It's a war zone. Like, I agree. It's dangerous. It's a war zone.
19:42I don't think you guys understand Israel. It doesn't work like that.
19:45Yes, they do. Uh they do that more than anyone ever, actually. It's the last possible group of people on Earth that you could claim doesn't intentionally
19:54target journalists. This is just pure misinformation. Misinformation that is used to run cover for Israel as it commits a genocide. A major factor of
20:02which is limiting people's exposure to the atrocities they are committing. And the most direct way they can do that is by assassinating journalists over and
20:10over and over and over again. A couple weeks ago, in a debate with Sam Cedar,
20:15Ethan continued to expose himself as a propagandist for Israel's genocide. He repeatedly blamed Palestinian resistance for Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza.
20:24They could have done that. They could have they could have ended it after.
20:26I mean, Hamas could have ended the war anytime, too. How could have Hamas ended the war? By leaving by releasing the hostages.
20:34No, listen. Israel has said time and time again that the release of the hostages is not going to end their assault on Gaza. They have said this over and over and over.
20:44I haven't seen those statements. I've seen the opposite. At any time, they could have done that. What has Hamas done to end the war?
20:50Hamas offered all they done to end the world totally gone to say Hamas offered all the hostages in agreement for in
20:56response to Israel not uh uh uh coming into Gaza. I mean there's just to defend Israel's actions that didn't happen either being inevitable.
21:05My what I'm getting to is Hamas I think they knew that this was the reaction that would happen. By this logic, there is nothing Israel could do that can't be
21:13blamed on Hamas, which is a genocidal logic because they're committing genocide and doing exactly what he is doing here, blaming Hamas. This is the
21:21logic employed by the IDF and the Israeli state and its propagandists. And this sort of thing is what makes Ethan one of them. In this debate, Ethan also
21:29repeatedly conflates anti-ionism with anti-semitism, which Sam Cedar deconstructs pretty effectively in my opinion. This will never happen. But in
21:37a totally just world, regardless of your background, any kind of [ __ ] uh Zionist tendency should be treated in the same way as as being a [ __ ] rabid
21:46neo-Nazi. And you couldn't even you shouldn't even let someone be the [ __ ] local dog catcher as uh as as
21:53Felix was posting, if they've ever exhibited any sort of [ __ ] any sort of positive feelings about the state of Israel. I'm so serious about this. Now,
22:04to me, that seems like extremely dangerous, dehumanizing language about what could arguably be 70% of the Jewish diaspora and certainly probably people,
22:14you know, in your family. you go in and you're you're making this about anti-semitism by doing this hopscotch
22:20about uh a a a poll that people had positive feelings that Jewish people do and then therefore he is anti-semitic
22:29and and honestly that type of conflation I think is so dangerous and so disingenuous. I have had a guy who went
22:38to my bar mitzvah, my sister's bar mitzvah, my kids bar mitzvah, sat at Passover with me three or four times,
22:45call my father and ask him if I'm anti-Semitic. That is just a a an example, an illustration of conflating when he's clearly talking about Zionism.
22:55Did he did he was it hyperbole to say any time in life, whatever. The fact of the matter is this conflation is
23:02dangerous for Jews. It is a a a a fig leaf and a a way of weaponizing
23:10anti-semitism that has enabled Donald Trump to do the [ __ ] he's doing that has enabled the slaughter of thousands upon
23:17thousands of children and women and men for that matter. It is not keeping Israelis safe. And this type of conflation, Ethan, is is what I find far
23:26more irresponsible, frankly, than the idea that he said positive any type. Not only is this another textbook defense used by the genocidal state of Israel,
23:34but what he's saying here is also anti-semitic. He's using this poll to speak for all Jews.
23:39Now, to me, that seems like extremely dangerous dehumanizing language about what could arguably be 70% of the Jewish diaspora.
23:48Lots of Jewish people think this thing,
23:50therefore criticizing that thing, is anti-Semitic. Hey man, no, it's not. The criticism is not about their Jewishness.
23:57It's about Israel. The only one here making it about their Jewishness is you.
24:01In the same conversation, Ethan blamed Palestinians for Israel's mass killing of peaceful Palestinian protesters with sniper fire during the Great March of Return in 2018.
24:11They were marching uh in the Great March of Return after week after week.
24:16Sam, was there Hamas activity at the Great SAR was marching? Senar was marching with them.
24:22Were people attacking the border wall during the Great March of Return? the first like uh dozens of these things before the uh uh the snipers. No, they
24:31weren't. So there that there there were the people for peace.
24:35There was Hamas activity. They were attacking the fence. They were they were like trying to cross the border.
24:41They were not militants. Militants were trying to cross the border.
24:44We know where he got this talking point from his friend Destiny. And we've seen him use that before a bunch of times.
24:50Overwhelmingly peaceful. Just as a quick thing because people love to talk about the great march of return, the peaceful march of return. All of this is like the peaceful great march of return. Remember this, okay? This is all the peaceful
24:59great march of return. And we've gone over this before, but the human rights reports were very clear on what happened in 2018. Thousands of people were shot
25:06by IDF snipers. Hundreds of them killed while standing hundreds of meters from the fence. It's actually pretty insane that this talking point is still being used. Like, it's disgusting. Men, women,
25:15children, medics, aid workers, and disabled people were shot and killed. If your retort to this fact is, well, there was uh separate instances of violence at the border.
25:25They were attacking the fence. They were they were like trying to cross the border.
25:28Whether you want to admit it or not, you are doing genocide propaganda. You are offering a moral justification for this violence. There are plenty more
25:36instances of this sort of thing in Ethan's debate with Hassan, which I could go over, but I feel like you get the point by now. if Ethan is really
25:43going to go through with his I don't support genocide lawsuit. He should probably stop using talking points that support genocide. These guys know that
25:51what they're doing here is wrong. In his announcement tweet a couple months back,
25:54Mutahar said, "I never want to financially harm or bring a lawsuit to a creator, but slander like this is far
26:03too extreme and unchecked. So, at this time, we are exploring legal actions,
26:07blah blah blah blah blah. I never want to do this thing that I know is wrong and predatory, but I'm going to do it anyway because I have no principles and
26:15you hurt my feelings. Defamation is not saying extreme things. That's not what defamation is. And it shouldn't take thousands of dollars and months,
26:24potentially years of our time to get these guys to understand that. It might though, because they're rich, which is amazing. It's a beautiful system that we
26:32have, but I hope it doesn't. And then recall what Ethan said eight years ago when he spoke about his experience of being sued by a more wealthy YouTuber.
26:41It's unbelievable. It's criminal. I don't this the American justice system is just it's how can you defend yourself? Like you guys gave us $150,000 to fight this lawsuit. It's not enough.
26:51It's not even enough. And I'm just wondering if we didn't have the backing and support of all you guys and the
26:58means to even throw $50,000 of our own money to defend this case, how would we ever stand up to this? It's like those
27:06with money in the legal system have the ability to destroy and bully and and just defeat people on the grounds of I
27:14have more money and you never would have a chance at defending yourself. It's it's it's obscene. It's not a threat. I'm going to sue you.
27:21Ethan now constantly threatens lawsuits over creators he doesn't like and creators that say things that are mean about him.
27:28When I'm done with Noah, when I'm done with the other one, the big one that's dropping probably next week, my full
27:36attention is going to you, George. Like the eye of Sauron. I see you. I see you out there, you [ __ ] cockroach. And
27:43you're full of [ __ ] bro. You're not going to do [ __ ] And I'll tell you who's going to do [ __ ] Me. I'm going to I'm coming. Okay, so you're not safe
27:51either. Just wait. Keep talking that
27:52[ __ ]
27:53He has become the villain. And if he goes through with this and somehow manages to succeed, you know, he retains Alan Dersowitz. We get Richard Goldstone
28:00on the bench in a Zionist kangaroo court. That would set a pretty bad precedent. I think if you disagree with someone's opinions about you, you should
28:08respond to it yourself like an adult in the court of public opinion, not pay a lawyer thousands of dollars to respond
28:16for you in a pre-written email video essay. It's pretty clear that he's done most of this stuff uh to make money and for content, which is kind of funny cuz
28:24defamation is supposed to be the other way around. I think he's made tens,
28:28maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars off of my alleged defamation. I don't know how that factors into proving damages, making a bunch of money, more
28:36money than you would have made without it. I don't know, but I guess we'll find out. Maybe I would close with some point about right-wing free speech hypocrisy
28:44cuz a lot of these people supported this lawsuit despite claiming to want free speech. I do think people that make up [ __ ] like this probably do need to have a degree of accountability,
28:53especially if they're saying and making claims like that you're a supporter of a genocide. I think this is a very extreme claim to make. It's not like you just
29:02say this out of the blue, right? And because of that, I do think that there should be some degree of accountability for it. But it's not even worth it. This is the most predictable thing that has
29:10ever happened on Earth. The Zionists and right-wing lip service about free speech is not an actual principle. Of course,
29:17it's not. It's a tool. Sometimes that tool is a shield to defend their right to be racist loudly online.
29:24I'm not going to cry a [ __ ] river when people who have genocide that's baked into their laws are getting genocided. I don't give a [ __ ] They're terrible people.
29:32And sometimes it's a sword to attack people who criticize them for doing that. It's not a threat. I'm going to sue you.
29:38None of these people actually care about any of these issues. Their support for a cause is entirely dictated by whether or not they like the people that are
29:46supporting that cause, whether or not they have some sort of content creatorbased relationship. But that also means um we, myself included, need to
29:54stop treating it as if it's anything other than that with the exception being using these morons to educate people. I think that's good. I think people should keep doing that. All right. So, anyways,
30:04um that's all I have to say about the lawsuit stuff. Ethan and Mutahar, if you are not suing me, that's great. I would
30:12prefer that so I don't have to fund raise for legal fees during a genocide.
30:16If you are actually going to sue me though, please just let me know. I'll fund raise again. You will probably lose the anti-slap motion and have to pay my
30:24legal fees and will just be wasting a bunch of time and money, which in the grand scheme of things is not that big of a deal. I'll be fine, but that will be annoying. So, let me know. Please,
30:35viewers, if you can donate to the Gaza Aid fundraiser. Uh, I think we can raise a lot of money. I'll be going live starting Saturday, May 17th at 2:00 p.m.
30:43Pacific time and streaming for a few days and do some guests and other stuff.
30:47So, stay tuned for the specifics about the times. And, uh, sorry for the slop.
30:51Sorry, this is a little messy. I'm getting back in the swing of things.
30:54It's been a while since I've even sat down to write anything. So, coming soon will be more stuff that's actually good.
