Steve thanks Phil. Meanwhile, I switching gears a shocking new report. Facebook knows the app called Instagram that you all have is toxic for teen girls, that they are trying to down play that ugly fact: Ainsley thats. According to the Wall Street Journal, which claims the social media giant conducted a study into the apps effects and found that thirty two percent of girls reported feeling worse about their bodies after using the app this coming. Just one day after the paper reported Facebook documents revealed a secret elite exempt from rules Brian here to react, biotech entrepreneur, bestselling author, the book he wrote is woke. Inc, Vivek Ramaswamy joins you now Vivek to me. Thirty two percent could be social media in general. What is it about Instagram? I think it is social media in general, the article laid out specifics on Instagram, the bigger point. I think this is social medias big tobacco moment. I want to say that they went out of their way to create this oversight and accountability

board. They went one hundred and thirty dollars million to create it, and then they lied to that board. What does that tell us? They are taking steps to appear to take public accountability without actually wanting to take and bear that accountability. It is all a sham and a smoke screen. I will tell you I have made the argument before, including in some of our own conversations. They are effectively serving as an arm of the government to carry out censorship that the government couldnt carry out directly and people said in response that yeah they may threaten those ceos, but the ceos arent, the ones personally making these calls. We know from reporting that the ceo is directly making the calls on content moderation. It really strengthens the case against these companies to recognize the threats that they pose Steve sure Vivek. You have been on this program talking about how if they are censoring things, they are censoring one side of the political spectrum, while the other side gets to pretty much do whatever they want, particularly the elites, as has been detailed. Apparently Facebook elites can put anything they want to on yeah look, I will have to admit one of the things I learned from that reporting

really good report from the Wall Street Journal. There were content, moderation, errors even for left wing politicians, including Elizabeth Warren. I that was something that I learned from that reporting that not all of this was nefarious some. It was bungled mismanagement. The part that stood out to me most to be clear is that Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg personally make the calls, especially for this elite group as to what gets taken down and what doesnt theyre the same people emailing with Anthony Fauci, seam people getting threatened by legislators and same people. Talking to the White House, strengthens the case for state action that the people at the very top, who are working hand in glove with the government, are also the ones who personally make these content moderation calls. I thought that was a bombshell Ainsley. Do they have a list Hough these elites, were they dont reveal it? The lack of transparency is astounding. In fact, many of the people in facebooks own ranks were bothered by this, and I think that the lack of transparency really reflecting criminal law. There is a concept called Mens. Rea refers to your

state of mind when the state of mind most crimes committed too. The lack of transparency and intentional lying to their own bold reflects an ill state of mind. I think a quasi criminal state of mind that these companies are not only carrying out bad acts. They know that they are doing it and are looking to hide it. I think that is really some of the most scary reporting of all Steve theyre, making billions of dollars. Brian move Congress thats. The only hope we have Congress has got to do something substantial and they bulked. Both parties have to see it as a problem lets hope they do section. Two hundred and thirty reform.
