The speaker discusses suing Media Matters for targeting conservative voices through market manipulation to silence opposition. They mention a blueprint from 2016 outlining tactics to suppress conservative voices. They highlight the importance of protecting free speech rights and fighting against market manipulation to undermine these rights. The speaker emphasizes the need for vigilance among attorneys general in upholding the first amendment.

"Today's misinformation is always tomorrow's truth. It's always the government who wants to censor people who are critical of the government." "Europe is trying to police everyone and shake down American tech companies, which is exactly what the digital markets act looked like. That is what's at stake here, and that is not how our First Amendment works." "Everything our government here in The United States told us about COVID turned out to be false. If you criticize any of the things they initially told you, you had to be censored." "When Elon bought Twitter, now it's a place where the first amendment and free speech are right where they need to be." "The spillover effect it can have on, American content being seen by European users." "The answer to stupid speech, bad speech, and wrong speech is more speech." "the hallmark of Western culture is free expression." "There were 12,183 arrests for offensive post online." "Global Alliance for Responsible Media." "Disinformation governance board."

Old Twitter was heavily influenced by the government, which violated the First Amendment. The reason for this amendment is to protect freedom of speech, as many immigrants came from places where it was restricted. If we allow censorship, it won't be long before we ourselves are censored. That's why the First Amendment exists.

This is, very abrupt. Very abrupt. The discussion centers on jawboning and public pressure: “This is all about jawboning. It's all about public pressure.” “license revocations are extraordinarily rare.” “The threat is not that the FCC's actually going to take away a license. It's about the public noise. It's about the shame and embarrassment.” “Brendan Carr going on podcasts and embarrassing ABC.” “Trump vowed retribution on the campaign trail, and he's getting it.” “For every reaction, there is reaction.” “Stephen Colbert has already been joking about getting hired somewhere else.” “Kimmel will probably end up somewhere else.” “We're gonna see more of that.” Van Jones: “There was nothing hateful about And what was even hateful speech is protected. This is this is not acceptable.” Congressman Garcia: “the idea that someone is gonna get pulled off a news program, off a news a channel that's supposed to be independent, and that ABC is making this decision because of possible political pressure through the president is is both stunning and outrageous.” “This is a red line that has been crossed for our industry, for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak.” “Here's Jimmy Kimmel.”

FCC chairman Brendan Carr explains that "Broadcasters are different than any other form of communication, including here." "Fox News doesn't have an FCC license. CNN doesn't." But "ABC, CBS, NBC, those broadcast stations do. And with that license comes a unique obligation to operate in the public interest." He says the FCC "walked away from enforcing that public interest obligation," and that "I don't think we're better off as a country for it." He notes that "President Trump ran directly at these legacy broadcast outlets, and he exposed them to these market forces." Affiliates said, "we're tired of carrying this stuff." "Late night shows, something's gone seriously awry there." They went from going for applause from laugh lines to applause lines, from court gestures that would make fun of everybody in power to being court clerics and enforcing a very narrow political ideology. Nexstar "stood up and said, look, we have the license and we don't want to run this anymore." Sinclair did the same thing. "There’s more work to go, but I'm very glad to see that America's broadcasters are standing up to serve the interest of their community." "We don't just have this progressive coming out from New York and Hollywood."

"Speaker 0: 'You know, when you look at the conduct that has taken place by Jimmy Kimmel, it appears to be some of the sickest conduct possible.' He notes 'avenues here for the FCC' and says this is not an isolated incident, citing Swalwell's tweet that 'Charlie Kirk's killer was a straight white male from a Republican family that voted for Donald Trump.' He alleges Kimmel 'to play into that narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or Republican motivated person.' He stresses broadcasters 'have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest.' He explains two buckets: 'national programmers' and licensed TV stations, and says 'news distortion' and 'broadcast hoaxes' are prohibitions. Potential actions include 'suspension,' fines, or 'license revocation.' He notes Disney will have a chance to 'put in, their arguments' before a vote."

Broadcasters are different than any other form of communication, including here. We're on cable right now. Fox News doesn't have an FCC license. CNN doesn't. ABC, CBS, NBC, those broadcast stations do. with that license comes a unique obligation to operate in the public interest. the FCC walked away from enforcing that public interest obligation. president Trump ran directly at these legacy broadcast outlets, and he exposed them to these market forces. Nexstar, as you noted, stood up and said, look, we have the license, and we don't want to run this anymore. Sinclair did the same thing. So there's more work to go, but I'm very glad to see that America's broadcasters are standing up to serve the interest of their community. We don't just have this progressive foie gras coming out from New York and Hollywood.

Speaker 0: I began my journey into chronicling the censorship industrial complex. Speaker 1: Some of the most terrifying conversations I've had with some of my dear friends who work inside CIA, and their jobs is to go to other countries, get involved in elections, protests that will help overthrow a regime. It's no secret at this point. The CIA has been doing that for years, for decades. But the most terrifying conversations I've had are the ones where they would look to me and say, my god. Like, the twenty twenty election? We're doing to our people what we do to others. Speaker 2: CIA, the other intelligence agencies were exposed with projects like Operation Mockingbird. Speaker 0: The State Department, USAID, the Central Intelligence Agency went from free speech diplomacy to promoting censorship. Speaker 2: They created, purchased, controlled assets at the New York Times, the Washington Post, all of these top down media structures that used to control the information that Americans got. Speaker 3: I pulled into the driveway, opened up my garage door, these two gentlemen come out of a blue sedan with government license plates. And they came up to me and said, you're mister Solomon? And I said, yes. And they said, you're at the tip of a very large and dangerous iceberg. Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. The the FBI sent agents over to my home to serve a subpoena. They're questioning me about my tweets. How is that not chilling? Speaker 2: Our whole page on Facebook for the world Seventh day Adventist World Church was removed. Speaker 5: The level of censorship that we experienced from publishing this documentary was beyond anything I could have imagined, and we really didn't even understand why. Speaker 3: We are going to win back the White House. The Russian collusion started broken '16. That's where the big lie first erupted. Speaker 6: Russian operatives used social media to rile up the American electorate and boost the candidacy of Donald Trump. Speaker 0: That's why they went after Trump with the Russia gate and with the FBI probes and with the CIA impeachments and things like that. Speaker 3: My FBI sources told me there's nothing there. And I kept wondering to myself, how could it be that something that's not true be taken so seriously and be portrayed as true? Speaker 7: How do you expand sort of top down control in this society? How do we flip? How do we invert America? Speaker 6: The evidence that the Supreme Court recounts is bone chilling. The federal government would call a private media company and say, cancel this speaker or take down this post. Speaker 3: I mean, just think about this. A sitting president of The United States had his Twitter and Facebook accounts frozen. Our founding fathers could not possibly have imagined that. Is there a chance that this documentary will be censored? Speaker 1: I think there's a huge chance this documentary gets censored. Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's interesting when you look at so many of the big censorship cases in The United States involving COVID, Hunter Biden's laptop. They all go back to a common thread. What is that thread? National security. Speaker 0: Google Jigsaw produced world's first AI censorship product. Things the model were trained on, support for Donald Trump, Brexit referendum that the State Department tried very desperately to stop. These are all these sort Speaker 5: of component pieces of what you called the censorship industrial complex. Speaker 3: Censorship Industrial Complex. Censorship Speaker 2: Industrial Complex. Speaker 7: Censorship Industrial Complex. Censorship Industrial Complex. Speaker 1: I've long felt that it was a bubbling god complex.

That is why we exist, not to knuckle under, not to do what we're told, but to stand up and to say, listen, if you want to pull these licenses, then we're going to go to court and we'll be in the court of public opinion. But you don't get to go on a podcast and set policy for American media, for an American media institution that's been around a lot longer than me, you or Donald Trump. This a red line that has been crossed for our industry, for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak. There was nothing hateful about And what was even hateful speech is protected. This is this is not acceptable.

Speaker 0 thanks people who don't support his show but back his right to share beliefs, naming Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace Owen s, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz, who 'believe it or not, said something very beautiful on my behalf.' Speaker 1 declares, 'I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired,' then corrects, 'Oh, wait. Not that. The other part.' They warn that if the government bans media for not saying what it likes, 'That will end up bad for conservatives.' Speaker 0 agrees, 'Ted Cruz is right. He's absolutely right,' and muses, 'If Ted Cruz can't speak freely, then he can't cast spells on the Smurfs.' Despite disagreements, they praise those who spoke out against the administration, credit their courage, and urge followers that government cannot be allowed to control what we say on television and that we must stand up to it.

Trump seems to believe that attacking Teslas or dealerships is domestic terrorism, while attempting to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election is not. According to Speaker 1, Trump thinks freedom and liberties belong only to people who agree with him. Speaker 1 states that this view of America is not shared by people who believe in the Constitution.

Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf Of Mexico the Gulf Of America. This is press censorship based on viewpoint discrimination. During Trump's presidency, the DOD kicked out news groups from the Pentagon that asked skeptical questions, including the New York Times, NBC News, and the Washington Post. These organizations were replaced by outlets willing to advance the party line of the states, like Breitbart and One American News Network.

Twitter banned the president permanently. Facebook upheld their ban of Donald Trump today for at least another six months. Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Fox News has severed bow ties with Tucker Carlson after all these years. They evaluated whether or not Trump's tweets violated Twitter policy. They said no. We could just label it as incitement to violence anyway to get the job done. Donald Trump's Twitter account just got suspended. This is very, very funny. And even with Twitter, you cannot find actual evidence of any direct government censorship of any lawful speech. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg claims he was pressured by the White House to censor content related to COVID nineteen during the pandemic. I think we need to push back on There there's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or or hate speech and especially around our democracy.

Thank you, Senator Johnson. It’s an honor to discuss media censorship and the First Amendment. We are in a critical moment for free speech, facing unprecedented information warfare. Journalists must unite to defend the truth, yet many have failed, attacking colleagues like Tucker Carlson for simply doing their jobs. Media companies and organizations masquerading as watchdogs have become tools of censorship, undermining free speech and manipulating narratives. This includes government-funded NGOs that promote partisan agendas while silencing dissent. The power of technology has allowed a few companies to control information, reminiscent of oppressive regimes. We must remember that the First Amendment is foundational to our freedom. If we don’t protect it, we risk losing the light of freedom both here and globally. We, the people, must hold our government accountable and stop funding those who undermine our rights. Thank you.

NPR and PBS heads testified before Congress this week, facing accusations of liberal bias. The question is whether the government should continue funding public broadcasters. Republicans have long sought to eliminate PBS. The speaker believes NPR is far left and that government subsidies are no longer necessary. These outlets became popular when political polarization was lower. Now that Republicans and Democrats are at odds, such organizations are no longer viable as public entities and should be private.

Two years ago, we were labeled as bought-off journalists for questioning digital censorship. I was shocked to see my party seemingly endorse censorship. John Kerry even lamented that the First Amendment hinders the government's ability to control information and build consensus, essentially complaining that people choose their own news sources. Building consensus isn't the media's job; it's our job to make governing hard, and many of our allies have already embraced draconian speech laws. The EU's Digital Services Act is the most comprehensive censorship law in a Western democracy. USAID is funding organizations that promote unified messaging and discourage diverse opinions, spending millions of dollars to transform the free press into a consensus machine. You've taken taxpayer money to tell people they're wrong about what they can see, you sold us out.

Ten years ago, this sounded crazy. Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, telling an American company, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, and that these companies can find ways to change conduct and take action on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead, in addition to being a direct violation of the First Amendment, is not a particularly intelligent threat to make in public. Ted Cruz said he sounded like a mafioso. Although, I don't know. If you wanna hear a mob boss make a threat like that, you have to hide a microphone in a deli and park outside in a van with a tape recorder all night long. This genius said it on a podcast. Brendan Carr is the most embarrassing car Republicans have embraced since this one, and that's saying something. The FCC

Sarah was criticized by MSNBC hosts for defending free speech and voting rights. In response, it’s inappropriate and undemocratic to suggest punishing individuals or businesses for their political views. Such ideas reflect a fascist mentality. Even if I disagree with someone like Mark Cuban, I would never advocate for penalizing his business due to his political stance. We need free and fair elections and to ensure that all voices are heard within the law. It’s essential to address any unfairness while maintaining a public discourse that respects free speech for everyone.
