IT IS CLEARLY A VIOLATION OF
THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
>> Harris: FACEBOOK IS NOT
CONFIRMING OR DENYING WORKING
WITH THE WHITE HOUSE.
IT SAYS THIS IN A STATEMENT.
WE PERMANENTLY BAN PAGES,
GROUPS AND ACCOUNTS THAT BREAK
OUR RULES ON COVID
MISINFORMATION.
TAMMY BRUCE HOST OF GET TAMMY
BRUCE ON FOX NATION JOINS ME
NOW.
MY FIRST QUESTION ABOUT THIS IS
IF THEY ARE WORKING -- YOU
HEARD JEN PSAKI SAY IF THEY ARE
WORKING TOGETHER WITH
PLATFORMS, DOES THAT MEAN THAT
THEY ARE GIVING DIRECTIVES TO
PLATFORMS?
I WANT TO KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP
THERE.
>> THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT SHE
SAID, THAT THEY HAVE SENIOR
STAFF, MAYBE SOMETIMES THE
SURGEON GENERAL’S OFFICE, THE
COVID GROUP THERE IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, BUT IT IS ALL PARTISAN
POLITICIANS.
THAT’S WHY THEY ARE WORKING
WITH THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE AND
SAYING SPECIFICALLY REGULAR
CONTACT, TELLING THEM WHAT
POSTS ARE PROBLEMATIC AND
EXPECTING THEM TO BE REMOVED.
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST FIRST
AMENDMENT, HARRIS, I HAVE TO
SAY.
TO HAVE CORPORATE AMERICA WORK
WITH THE GOVERNMENT, THAT IS
THE CORE OF FASCISM.
THE ONLY WAY FASCISM CAN WORK
IS WHEN YOU HAVE A CORPORATE
BOLSTER AND THEY ARE IN THE
POOL WITH YOU IN ORDER TO MAKE
THAT KIND OF CONTROL FUNCTIONAL.
SO THIS MOVES US INTO QUITE AN
AUTHORITARIAN FRAMEWORK WHERE
IT IS ALSO MESSAGED CASUALLY IF
YOU NOTICED.
LIKE IT IS TOTALLY NORMAL.
IT IS NOT ONLY NOT NORMAL.
IT IS NOT ONLY A VIOLATION OF
THE FIRST AMENDMENT CLEARLY BUT
IT SETS A VERY DIFFERENT
APPROACH WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT
THE FOUNDERS HAD IN MIND, WHICH
WAS A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC.
DEMOCRACY, RIGHT?
THIS IS VERY CLASSICALLY
FASCISM WHICH IS FASCINATING
CONSIDERING THIS IS THE GROUP
THAT GOT INTO OFFICE IN PART
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE
NON-FASCISM THAT WAS EXISTING
IN THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATION.
SO WE’VE GOT TO BE VERY
CONCERNED THAT YOU’VE GOT NOT
JUST THE WHITE HOUSE BUT THE
DNC AS WELL HAVE COME UNDER
SOME FIRE FOR DEALING WITH
WANTING TO HAVE THE PHONE
COMPANIES STOP CERTAIN TEXT
MESSAGES THAT GO OUT TO A
SUBSCRIBER LIST.
SO THAT’S UNDERWAY WITH THE DNC.
YOU SEE THE LINKAGE THROUGHOUT
THE PROCESS.
>> Harris: SPEAKING OF THE DNC
"POLITICO" REPORTED THIS WEEK
THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN’S ALLIED
GROUPS INCLUDING THE DNC ARE
WORKING WITH THOSE TEXT
MESSAGING CARRIERS AS YOU SAID
TO MORE AGGRESSIVELY FIGHT THE
SPREAD OF VACCINE
MISINFORMATION.
A DNC SPOKESPERSON DENIED THE
CLAIMS AND TOLD USA TODAY OF
COURSE THE DNC HAS NO ABILITY
TO ACCESS OR READ PEOPLE’S
PRIVATE TEXT MESSAGES AND WE
ARE NOT WORKING WITH ANY
GOVERNMENT AGENCY INCLUDING THE
WHITE HOUSE TO TRY TO SEE
PERSONAL TEXT MESSAGES.
CLEAN UP ON AISLE SEVEN.
IS THE BROOM BIG ENOUGH?
>> YES, IT TELLS YOU ALSO,
HARRIS, THAT THEY UNDERSTAND
THIS IS PROBLEMATIC.
THEY THOUGHT ABOUT HOW TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION BECAUSE
THEY KNEW IT WOULD BE COMING.
THEY KNOW THIS STINKS.
THEY KNOW THIS IS AWFUL.
BUT THEY ARE DOING IT ANYWAY.
IF YOU ARE ON A LIST AND TOLD
SOMEONE SEND ME A MESSAGE, IT
IS NO ONE’S BUSINESS IF OTHER
PEOPLE ARE ON THAT LIST WHAT
THE MESSAGING IS, WHETHER IT’S
POLITICIANS OR PARTISANS LIKE
THE MESSAGING OR THE
INFORMATION YOU ARE RECEIVING
ON YOUR PHONE.
IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.
AND YET IT IS LIKE OH YEAH,
WELL, WE’RE NOT WORKING WITH
ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.
IT IS ALL -- ALSO KEEP IN MIND
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH FACEBOOK,
THIS BECOMES LIKE THE
ASSIGNMENT DESK FOR AMERICA.
WHATEVER THEY DO IT MEANS
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW.
TWITTER WILL FOLLOW, INSTAGRAM,
OF COURSE, OWNED BY FACEBOOK, ALL OF THIS WILL HAPPEN
ALL OF THIS WILL HAPPEN
THROUGHOUT ALL OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> Harris: ASSIGNMENT DESKS
EXIST IN EVERY NEWSROOM AND
THEY FOLLOW WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN SATELLITE VIDEOS.
THEY’RE OPERATING FOR THE
NEWSROOM FOR AMERICA ONLY THEY
WILL FLAG THE THINGS THEY DON’T
AGREE WITH AND WHAT IF IT’S
BIGGER THAN COVID OF WHAT WE’RE
TEXTING AND POSTING?
LISTEN TO WHAT ONE OF
FACEBOOK’S OVERSIGHT BOARD
MEMBERS SAID.
THIS PERSON IS DENMARK’S FORMER
PRIME MINISTER.
WATCH.
>> HOW DO YOU MODERATE CONTENT
AND HOW DO YOU FIND THE BALANCE
BETWEEN HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREE
SPEECH VERSUS HUMAN RIGHTS, BUT
OTHER HUMAN RIGHTS.
FREE SPEECH HAS TO BE BALANCED
WITH ALL HUMAN RIGHTS AND
THAT’S WHAT THE OVERSIGHT IS
THERE TO DO.
>> Harris: THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT
TAMMY SAID.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE POOL
KNOW THE WATER IS DIRTY AND
HAVE STATEMENTS READY.
A RECENT FOX POLL SHOWS WHILE
DEMOCRATS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY
TO TRUST SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
TO DECIDE WHAT SHOULD BE POSTED
MORE THAN REPUBLICANS DO.
A MAJORITY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
POLITICAL AISLE DO NOT TRUST
THEM TO MAKE FAIR DECISIONS.
THAT’S INTERESTING, TAMMY.
>> IT IS AND IT JUST GOES TO
SHOW YOU THAT ONCE AGAIN THE
AVERAGE DEMOCRAT DOES NOT WANT
WHAT THE DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP IS
DOING.
EVERYBODY WANTS VOTER I.D. AS
AN EXAMPLE.
THEY DON’T WANT WHAT BIDEN IS
DOING.
THEY DON’T TRUST TECH COMPANIES
TO MAKE THE CORRECT DECISIONS.
FRANKLY AND WHEN THEY SEE THIS
COLLUSION HAND IN GLOVE WITH
THE TECH COMPANIES, THERE IS I
THINK THE AVERAGE DEMOCRAT, WE
ALL HAVE THIS GREAT CIVIL
RIGHTS BACKGROUND AND
EXPERIENCE AS AMERICANS.
FREEDOM IS THE CORE OF WHAT
ALLOWS US TO DO THIS.
MOST AMERICANS ARE LOOKING NOW
SHOCKINGLY AT THE NATURE OF
WHAT’S GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY.
THEY MAY NOT BE MARCHING EVERY
DAY BUT OF COURSE WE HAVE
ELECTIONS BUT IN THE MEANTIME
THIS IS ABOUT LAWSUITS PERHAPS
THAT HAVE TO BE FILED, THIS
DYNAMIC HAS TO BE STOPPED.
WE HAVE TO DISCUSS IT BECAUSE
OTHERWISE YOU WILL WAKE UP ONE
MORNING AND ALL OF THIS WILL BE
CODIFIED AND NORMAL.
THAT’S NOT WHAT ANYBODY WANTS.
DEMOCRATS UNDERSTAND THIS AS
WELL AND THEY MUST BEGIN TO
STEP UP.
DEMOCRATS WITH THE CIVIL RIGHTS
HISTORY.
THEY ARE IN CONGRESS AND THEY
ARE REGULAR PEOPLE.
THEY MUST START TO SAY ENOUGH
IS ENOUGH.
>> Harris: I JUST WANT TO POINT
THIS OUT.
LISTS IN THIS COUNTRY.
I GOT THE CHILL.
WE HAVE FOUGHT WARS AGAINST MEN
WITH LISTS.
LAST QUICK WORD.
>> WE HAVE AND WE SAW THIS
HAPPEN ONCE BEFORE WITH THE RED
SCARE IN THE 50s.
THERE WERE LISTS.
YOU COULDN’T WORK, ANYBODY
COULD PUT YOU ON A LIST, THE
GOVERNMENT WAS GOING TO DECIDE.
IT DOESN’T END WELL, HARRIS.
WE’RE THE GENERATION THAT WILL
STOP IT IF HAPPENING AGAIN.
>> Harris: TAMMY BRUCE, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR DIGGING INTO
THIS.
THERE ARE LITERALLY MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CHECKING
SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW.
I WONDER IF WE CAN KEEP THEM
