These guys are way more powerful than Rockefeller thanks Congressman Jim Jordan is a conservative who was there today the highest ranking for public and on the committee thanks so much for coming on you tweeted today, tweet. That was heartening. I think, to a lot of people. You said big tech out to give conservatives clearly true its time. They face the consequences to the many frustrated viewers out there, who dont think Republicans have forced them to face any consequences for the past four years. Tell us simply with the sponsor wants. Lenses are going to be thirty. We are looking at that right now. You may have the Justice department looking at current antitrust laws to go after these companies. Right now and frankly, we may have to change the law, and we also have to continue to do what youve been doing and thank you for doing that, calling them out. Every time we see the bias. Every time we see them become the facilitators of the mob to cancel people. We have to continue to call them out. Twitter went after me two years ago,
ive been talking about this for a couple years. They shadow band four members of Congress, only four get shadow band by twitter and, of course we are told it was just a glitch. What did you put in the algorithm? I think I said that on your show you did and we agreed, but im a talk, show host weve got four million viewers or whatever, but my job is to talk. Lawmakers are tasked with running the country and passing our law by a definition, and these companies operate, provided them by Congress and Congress has never done anything to rein them in and so weve got what ninety six days until the election, either going to be any consequences. Until then, you just mentioned are the most important thing in ninety six days. Ninety seven days whatever that number is its important that we reelect Donald Trump and take
back the house, because do you think Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Jerry Nadler are going to fix this? You think theyre going to stop big tech from attacking conservatives and censoring conservatives. I dont think so Republicans arent in control. We are working on the Senate working with the Senate on this two hundred and thirty issue. Looking at every remedy, we can, because her has to be a remedy for what theyre doing to conservatives. The most important thing is to take back the house and make sure Donald Trump is reelected. It seems very difficult for any candidate or party to win anything if all the information about the race is controlled by people working for the other side, which is where we are now. Let me ask you: Jim Sensenbrenner has taken money from Google. Google is your second biggest campaign contributor in the last cycle. Why do you think they would give you money? Look if they want to exercise their first amendment liberty, to give me money, I raise three dollars million last quarter. God bless him that doesnt change, who I am
you saw that today in the committee I went after them for the things you just read, Tucker in two thousand and sixteen Google tried to tailor their features to help Clinton in key states thats from the head of their multicultural marketing. Im a talk show host. We talk about this all the time they somehow have a liability exemption where they cant be sued for garbage on their site wheres. The effort to do that. I just like to know ones are going to happen. We are working on it right now with folks in the Senate, our staff is working with Senate staff on that issue, whats the best way to structure that language we are looking at that also at the Justice Department is doing bill. Barr is looking at this issue as well. Now we may have to write some other law. There are three possible remedies here. All I know is there is a big problem and there has to be a remedy. We are looking at what is the best course of action to take, but none of it happened. None of it happened if Jerry
Nadler is still in charge of the Judiciary Committee and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris get elected as president, and vice president, I am certainly not advocating for Jerry Nadler having any more power than he does. Obviously, I just again, I think most people watching feel justified frustration that we are right at the edge of the election and its pretty hard to win anything if these people continue to interfere in our democracy. No, I do. The good news is in twenty. Sixteen, in spite of what Google did, the american people saw it for what it was. An Donald Trump was elected thats. Why I raise that issue in.
