(I have) no idea what this Twitter thing is that you're talking about.

And "Should you platform him?"

That's what they said. - Yeah.

"Should you platform him?"

And I said that I think it's our role and I know you have issues with journalists.

I have a platform.

And I know you have an issue with journalists often times but I said it's our role to have conversations and to inquire and to sometimes even interrogate ideas and that's... I'm hoping we can do that.

So I want to start just so we can begin this conversation and just level set.

Take us through everything that happened if you could. - Everything?

No, over the past week and a half. - How long have you got?

We're gonna-- we've got the time. - Okay.

You send out a post or an X or Tweet. - I know what it is. Whatever, yeah.

I'm trying to change... like when things were just 140 characters, it made sense to call it a Tweet because like a bunch of little bits is chopping,

but when, you know, the point of what you can put like three-hour videos on it's like a very long Tweet. So, post is more descriptive I think.

And at some point I don't know where you were, but you write in responding to another Tweet. - Yes.

This is the actual truth and it's set off a firestorm of criticism all the way to the White House. - Right

And then you make this trip to Israel. You have advertisers who've left the platform, people calling--

Well, the trip to Israel was independent of... it wasn't something like an apology tour. Loud and clear.

Let's talk about that so just take us back to the moment at which you write that.

The trip to Israel is independent of it, it wasn't like in response to that at all.

Well, we'll do Israel in just a moment.

And I have no problem being hated, by the way.

I hear you.

Well, but you know what, let's go straight to that then for a second. - Sure.

Because there is an idea and you could say that you don't care....

I think it's a real weakness to want to be liked, a real weakness.

I do not have that.
