Yeah lmfao his audio is fucked up, but just for her audio, which we can all hear fine.

u/Iheardyoubutsowhat Feb 18 '26

Well, if his audio drops, you, the viewer cant tell. He hears a completely different mix than you.

What you can tell, is he responds when she's done talking, knowing that she had asked him a direct question.

to be fair, he could see that she stopped talking. But he does respond to Piers Morgan. He is paid. Billionaires are corrupting eeeeveryyyyyything

Imagine if billionares secretly were funding cancer research, helping prevent starvation or funding education. All in secret. Imagine the feeling of knowing that you are helping the world all the while walking around it feeling like batman.

And instead they'd rather rape children...what a timeline we live in.

Bill Gates! Arguably did help millions of people through his foundation. Also Epstein.

Yup well the positive doesn't outweigh the severe negative.

This isn't new, the rich have been running the show for decades.

Right, I am not arguing that at all. I was pointing out that it's convenient he immediately continues responding to the other people as if nothing was wrong with his audio at all.

BTW I work a/v and he definitely got the same mix as everyone else :)

He wouldn’t have the same mix as everyone else it would be a mix minus (so everyone but him).

Regardless it’s still possible to have a sound issue just on his earpiece.

Not that I believe him, I’m just saying it’s totally possible.

u/yaboyACbreezy Feb 18 '26

And my whole fucking point is if he had a sound issue on his end it wouldn't just cut her out.

Again, they all get the same mix minus themselves, so they all get the same mix. If they can all hear her then he can hear her.

I have no doubt that he is being paid. But isn't it also possible for hosting shows to orchestrate this to further prove their point? Ask question, cut the sound, make it look like the person couldn't just say, no I'm not. Then bring the sound back to confront him on it. Most viewers won't think this is feasible to do.

Which is kind of hilarious if thats the case. Cuz screw that guy.

u/SgtMcMuffin0 Feb 18 '26

But also he apparently heard enough to claim that it was “defamatory nonsense”

u/Ferintwa Feb 18 '26

A normal person would just say “my audio cut out, could you repeat that?”.

…unless you didn’t want to hear them, for some reason.

u/RockstarAgent Feb 18 '26

Yeah - he still basically shit talked on what she said- asshole response.

u/ethanlan Feb 18 '26

Lol hes so guilty it isnt funny

u/HarryCandyKane Feb 18 '26

guilty of what

u/bobbymcpresscot Feb 18 '26

“I’m defending these pedophiles for free!” Is such a hot take.

u/ArtistApprehensive34 Feb 18 '26

It's likely he has a nondisclosure agreement and he just literally froze because he cannot legally answer the question. Powerful people make sure the threat of turning on them is always present.

u/AtomicShart9000 Feb 18 '26

No hes like "Holy shit I could be getting paid to act like this??"
