YOU HAVE THE BREAKING NEWS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON THERE.
KELLY O’GRADY, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
MEANTIME FOR DISCUSSION NEAR
POST COLUMNIST JOHN LEVIN JOIN
US NOW. JOHN I’M GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND
JOHN I’M GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND
START WITH YOU BECAUSE WE WERE
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION THE
OTHER NIGHT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED AT TWITTER WITH
RESPECT TO SUPPRESSING THE STORY
STORY.
THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE SAYING I
DIDN’T REALLY WANT TO SUPPRESS
IT.
I’M WONDERING IF WHAT ELON IS
GOING TO DROP HERE IS THAT THERE
WERE OTHER PEOPLE DON’T SUPPRESS
IT, PUT IT OUT THERE.
>> I CAN CONFIRM I BEEN
REFRESHING MY PHONE AND THE FOX
NEWS BUILDING EVERY SINGLE
SECOND AND SO FAR IT HAS NOT
DROPPED YET.
THERE’S A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS OF WHAT WENT ON WE
QUESTIONS OF WHAT WENT ON WE
KNOW AFTER THE POST PUBLISHED
HUNTER BIDEN HARD DRIVE THEY
WERE SUPPRESSED THEY WERE
ALLOWED TO SHARE THE PEOPLE THAT
WERE SHARING WERE GETTING
SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY UNLESS
THEY DO DELETED THE TWEETS.
WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE BACKING
OF THE PROCESS WHO IS BEHIND THE
DECISION TO DO THIS.
WHO ARE THE VOICES INVOLVED WHAT
PRESSURES WAS TWITTER FACING.
I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THE SLACK MESSAGES THAT WERE
GOING ON IN THE COMPANY AT THE
TIME.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE E-MAILS
GETTING SENT BACK AND FORTH.
I WOULD SEE IF THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT WAS SENDING E-MAILS
ARE IN COMMUNICATION AT TWITTER
LEADERS AT THIS TIME.
THERE’S A LOT OF IMPORTANT
UNANSWERED QUESTION.
JACKIE: THAT’S A GREAT POINT I
WANT TO SEE THAT AS WELL.
BUT ALSO PART OF THE ISSUE WE
PLAYED A CLIP OF SENATOR WARREN
TALKING ABOUT ELON MUSK AND SHE
WAS SAYING I DON’T THINK ONE
PERSON SHOULD GO INTO A DARK
ROOM AND DECIDE WHAT KIND OF
CONVERSATIONS PEOPLE CAN HAVE
THAT WITH RESPECT TO ELON MUSK.
BUT SHE’S NOT NECESSARILY SAYING
THAT WAS A PROBLEM IF AND WHEN
JACK DORSEY WAS DOING IT.
IF THERE’S PRESSURE FROM THE TOP
WITH THE SUPPRESSION OF THE
STORY FROM DORSEY I WOULD FIND
THAT VERY INTERESTING.
>> SHE’S REALLY SHOWING WHAT A
HYPOCRITE SHE IS.
AS YOU SAID SHE WASN’T WORRIED
ABOUT THIS BEFORE.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW NOT
JUST COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE
GOVERNMENT BUT WERE THE
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BIDEN
CAMPAIGN WERE MEMBERS OF THE
BIDEN FAMILY.
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE
WAS ANY MOTIVE OTHER THAN TO
INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION AND
SUPPRESSES STORY THAT MIGHT’VE
AFFECTED THE ELECTION WHEN YOU
CONSIDER THE FACT THAT WHY WOULD
THEY BE SUPPRESSING A STORY FROM
A MAJOR NEWSPAPER LIKE THE NEW
YORK POST.
IT’S ONE OF THE MAIN NEWSPAPERS
IN THE COUNTRY.
TWITTER DOESN’T HAVE REPORTERS
ON STAFF AND OTHERS TO CHECK OUT
THE CREDIBILITY OF STORIES.
THEY ROUTINELY HAVE TWEETS ABOUT
STORIES AND NEWSPAPER COLUMNS AND OTHERS FROM EVERY MAJOR
AND OTHERS FROM EVERY MAJOR
NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY AND YET
THEY DON’T SUPPRESS THOSE
STORIES NORMALLY WHY WOULD THEY
DO IT FROM THE NEW YORK POST.
THEY COULD BE NO MOTIVE OTHER
THAN POLITICS.
>> IT WAS A DEVELOPING STORY
THAT WAS VERY CLEAR BUT A STORY
THAT WOULD’VE IMPACTED ONE AND
FIVE BIDEN VOTERS SAY THEY MIGHT
NOT HAVE VOTED FOR HIM HAD THEY
HAD MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
AND HOW IT UNFOLDED IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION.
LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION.
THAT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT.
>> I THINK IT’S NOT AN
OVERSTATEMENT TO SAY THIS IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT STORY OF THE 2020
ELECTION AND A DELIBERATE EFFORT
TO KEEP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN
THE DARK AND IGNORANT BECAUSE
PEOPLE REALIZED THAT IT WOULD
INFLUENCE VOTES AND SUBSEQUENT
POLLING HAS SHOWS THE CRITICAL
NUMBER OF AMERICANS WOULD’VE
VOTED DIFFERENTLY HAD THEY HAVE
BEEN AWARE OF THE FACTS ON THE
HARD DRIVE AND WHAT HUNTER AND
JOE BIDEN WERE UP TO.
JACKIE: AND THE POTENTIAL LINK
IS REALLY CRUCIAL WE WILL SEE IF
WE GET ANY MORE INFORMATION ON
THE AS THIS DEVELOPS BUT I WANT
TO COME BACK TO YOU TRADE WHEN
IT COMES TO HUNTER BIDEN IN THE
BUSINESS DEALINGS THAT HE DID
OVERSEAS.
IF THERE IS A LINKAGE BETWEEN
HIM AND THE PRESIDENT AND SO
MANY GEOPOLITICAL PROBLEMS RIGHT
NOW.
MANY PEOPLE SAY OUR PRESIDENT
COULD BE COMPROMISED.
VOTERS ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE
ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION SO
PART OF WHAT ELON MUSK WANTED TO
DO HERE WITH STEP UP TO THE
PLATE, INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND
RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN THIS
COMPANY.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO
DROP TONIGHT BUT DEPENDING ON
THE DOCUMENTS AND WHAT THEY SAY
DO YOU THINK IT DOES RESTORE
TRUST WITHIN THE PUBLIC WITHIN
TWITTER DO THINK IT ATTRACTS
MORE PEOPLE TOWARDS A COPY?
>> YES, TRANSPARENCY IS
FUNDAMENTAL IF YOU ARE RUNNING A
COMPANY LIKE THIS.
MORE IMPORTANTLY IS ENDING THE
CENSORSHIP THAT TWITTER WAS
ENGAGING IN.
ELON MUSK HAS COME OUT AND SAID
HE IS IN FAVOR OF THE FIRST
AMENDMENT AND HE SHOWN THAT IN
THE MOVES HE MADE.
WHAT IS SHOCKING TO ME IS HOW SO
MANY ON THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT
LIKE SENATOR WARREN THANKS
CENSORSHIP SHOULD BE CONDUCTED.
IT’S AS IF THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND
THE WAY THE FIRST AMENDMENT
WORKS AND THEY CLEARLY WANT TO
CHILL ANY AND ALL SPEECH OF
ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM
ON ANY ISSUE.
JACKIE: I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND
THE FIRST AMENDMENT BUT THEY
LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN THE
CENSORSHIP WORKS IN THEIR FAVOR.
THAT’S THE WAY IT SEEMS SO FAR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
