MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
CENSORSHIP AND SURVEILLANCE, A
PAGE RIGHT OUT OF THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY PLAYBOOK.
THIS WEEK, JEN PSAKI ADMITTED
WHAT WE ALL KNEW, SOCIAL MEDIA
AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ARE
WORKING TOGETHER TO DICTATE
WHAT YOU SEE AND WHAT YOU HEAR.
>> WE ARE IN REGULAR TOUCH WITH
THESE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS THE
AND THOSE ENGAGEMENTS TYPICALLY
HAPPEN THROUGH MEMBERS OF OUR
SENIOR STAFF, ALSO MEMBERS OF
OUR COVID-19 TEAM, GIVEN DR.
MARK MURTHY CONVEYED, THIS IS A
BIG ISSUE OF MISINFORMATION,
SPECIFICALLY ON THE PANDEMIC.
WE INCREASED DISINFORMATION
RESEARCH AND TRACKING WITHIN THE
SURGEON GENERAL’S OFFICE, WE’RE
FLAGGING PROBLEMATIC POSTS
THROUGH FACEBOOK THAT SPREADS
DISINFORMATION.
WE’RE WORKING WITH DOCTORS AND
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO
CONNECTED MEDICAL EXPERTS WHO
ARE POPULAR WITH THEIR AUDIENCES
WITH ACCURATE INFORMATION AND
BOOST TRUSTED CONTENT.
MARIA: THIS COMES JUST ONE
MONTH AFTER ANTHONY FAUCI’S
E-MAILS SHOWED HE WAS PLOTTING
WITH MARK ZUCKERBERG ON A
SO-CALLED INFORMATION HUB TO
CENSOR KEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE
ORIGINS OF COVID-19 AND THE
TREATMENTS FOR COVID, SOMETHING
TEXAS SENATOR TED CRUZ TOLD US
SUGGESTED COLLUSION AND COULD
SET UP FACEBOOK FOR DAMAGES.
>> THESE LATEST BREAKTHROUGHS
HAVE REAL CONSEQUENCE BECAUSE IT
NOW IS CLEAR THAT FACEBOOK WAS
OPERATING AT THE DIRECTION OF
AND IN THE DIRECT BENEFIT OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND OPERATING
AS THE GOVERNMENT CENSOR
UTILIZING THEIR MONOPOLY
POSITION TO CENSOR ON BEHALF OF
THE GOVERNMENT.
MARIA: SENATOR TED CRUZ JOINS
ME NOW WITH REACTION TO THE
WHITE HOUSE’S BRAZEN CENSORSHIP
ADMISSION.
A THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
WAS THIS COLLUSION.
>> IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY
COLLUSION.
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU THIS
MORNING, MARIA.
SINCE THE INTERVIEW YOU AIRED A
MINUTE AGO WHERE I LAID OUT THE
FAUCI E-MAILS REALLY SHOWED HOW
BIG TECH WAS IN BED WITH THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, WITH THE
GOVERNMENT CENSORING ON BEHALF
OF THE GOVERNMENT, THERE HAVE
BEEN TWO SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENTS.
YOUNUMBER ONE, DONALD TRUMP FILE
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST BIG
TECH, AGAINST FACEBOOK AND
TWIST.
HOWIE:TWITTER AND BIG TECH, BASE
THE THEORY YOU AND I DISCUSSED,
THAT THEY WERE ENGAGED IN
CENSORSHIP THAT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL, THAT IS
CONTRARY TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT
AND THE THEORY BEHIND PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S LAWSUIT IS EXACTLY THE
THEORY YOU AND I DISCUSSED.
NOW, THE CHALLENGE HIS LAWSUIT
FACES IS THE FOLLOWING.
THE FIRST AMENDMENT APPLIES ONLY
TO GOVERNMENT ACTION.
THE FIRST WORDS OF THE FIRST
AMENDMENT ARE CONGRESS SHALL
MAKE NO LAW AND SO IT APPLIES TO
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IT HAS
SINCE BEEN INCORPORATED AND
APPLIED AGAINST THE STATE
GOVERNMENT AND SO THE ARGUMENT
THAT A LOT OF THE TALKING HEADS
PUT OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER
PRESIDENT TRUMP FILED HIS
LAWSUIT IS THEY SAID, WELL,
FACEBOOK IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
TWITTER IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT SO
THIS LAWSUIT WILL GET THROWN
OUT.
WELL, THE SUPREME COURT HAS LONG
RECOGNIZED A LINE OF CASES THAT
WHEN GOVERNMENT USES A PRIVATE
COMPANY AS A TOOL, AS AN ARM TO
IMPLEMENT A GOVERNMENT POLICY,
AND IN THIS INSTANCE WHEN
GOVERNMENT EXPLICITLY ASKS A
PRIVATE MONOPOLY CENSOR THE
FOLLOWING SPEECH THAT WE
DISAGREE WITH, THAT THAT PRIVATE
COMPANY CAN BE TREATED AS A
STATE ACTOR AND I’VE GOT TO SAY,
WATCHING JEN PSAKI THIS WEEK, IT
IS AMAZING.
I KIND OF WONDER IF JEN PSAKI IS
ON THE PAYROLL OF DONALD TRUMP
BECAUSE HER PRESS CONFERENCE
STRENGTHENED PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
LAWSUIT AGAINST BIG TECH.
IT MAKES CLEAR THAT EVERYTHING
WE THOUGHT ABOUT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, ABOUT THEIR
WILLINGNESS TO TRAMPLE ON FREE
SPEECH, TO TRAMPLE ON THE
CONSTITUTION, TO USE GOVERNMENT
POWER TO SILENCE YOU, EVERYTHING
WE FEARED THEY MIGHT DO, THEY
ARE DOING AND WORSE AND I THINK
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LAWSUIT GOT
MUCH, MUCH STRONGER THIS WEEK.
MARIA: YEAH.
I MEAN, WE’RE GOING TO TALK WITH
MARK LEVIN COMING UP IN THE
PROGRAM AND A HE SAID PSAKI’S
ADMISSION MAKES DONALD TRUMP’S
LAWSUIT A SLAM DUNK AND SHE
SHOULD BE A DEFENDANT, SHE
SHOULD TESTIFY IN THAT SUIT.
>> LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE
TO UNDERSTAND IT.
IMAGE I’M IF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WENT TO A PRIVATE
PARAMILITARY ORGANIZATION AND
SAID WE’RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO
KNOCK DOWN PEOPLE’S DOORS AND
TAKE THEIR GUNS.
AND WE’RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO
THIS EXPLICITLY AND THEN WE’RE
ALSO GOING TO PASS A LAW TO
IMMUNIZE YOU SO IF THE PRIVATE
ORGANIZATION KICKS DOWN YOUR
FRONT DOOR, TAKES YOUR FIREARMS,
WE’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU IMMUNITY
FROM CIVIL LIABILITY.
NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD
ARGUE THAT PRIVATE ORGANIZATION
BEHAVING ESSENTIALLY AS
STORMTROOPERS, TRYING TO
CONFISCATE GUNS, NOBODY WOULD
ARGUE THAT THAT’S NOT STATE
ACTION, THAT THAT DOESN’T
VIOLATE THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
DOING WITH FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND
GOOGLE IS THE SAME THING.
THEY’RE GOING TO MONOPOLIES AND
SAYING YOU ARE OUR TOOL TO
CENSOR VIEWS WE DISAGREE WITH
AND BY THE WAY, WHAT’S
LUDICROUS, IS THEY’VE BEEN
CENSORING VIEWS THAT WE NOW KNOW
ARE TRUE.
MARIA: EXACTLY.
>> FOR MONTHS THEY WERE
MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
WE ARE BACK WITH TEXAS SENATOR
TED CRUZ.
SENATOR, WE WERE JUST GOING
THROUGH ALL OF THE CENSORSHIP
THAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING.
IT’S REALLY DISTURBING TO ME
THAT FACEBOOK AND ALL THESE
OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES ARE
CENSORING INFORMATION THAT’S
ACTUALLY TRUE.
THEY REALLY ARE LETTING DOWN THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE RIGHT BEFORE THE
ELECTION, CENSORING THE HUNTER
BIDEN STORY, BANNING THE NEW
YORK POST FROM TWITTER AND THEN
GOING ON TO CENSOR EARLY
TREATMENTS OF COVID.
WE HAD ON SENATOR RON JOHNSON
AND DR. PIERRE COREY WHO WENT
THROUGH THINGS LIKE IVERMECTIN
WHICH WAS OFF PATENT, NOBODY WAS
MAKING ANY MONEY ON IT BECAUSE
IT’S OFF PATENT BUT IT ACTUALLY
COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT
TREATMENT FOR EARLY DAYS OF
COVID.
THEY TOOK ALL OF THOSE POSTS
DOWN, THEY WOULDN’T ALLOW YOU TO
TALK ABOUT HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE.
THIS IS NOT JUST CENSORSHIP FOR
POLITICS.
THEY’RE ACTUALLY LETTING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE DOWN IN SO MANY
WAYS.
WHY?
IS THIS THE COMMUNIST PARTY
INFLUENCE?
>> WELL, LISTEN, YOU’RE EXACTLY
RIGHT, THAT THE CENSORSHIP HAS
BEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
SILENCING THINGS THAT ARE TRUE.
THEY BANNED, FOR EXAMPLE, ANY
ARRESTINGARGUMENTS THAT THE CORO
ORIGINATED IN A CHINESE
GOVERNMENT LAB IN WUHAN, CHINA.
IT NOW APPEARS THE OVERWHELMING
WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS
THAT’S IN FACT WHERE IT
ORIGINATED, IN A CHINESE
GOVERNMENT LAB.
YOU MENTIONED THE NEW YORK POST.
AS YOU KNOW, I DO A POD COST
EVERY WEEK CALLED VERDICT WITH
TED CRUZ.
I JUST FILMED THE PODCAST ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO WHERE I SAT DOWN
WITH THE EDITOR OF THE EDITORIAL
PAGE OF THE NEW YORK POST AND WE
TALKED ABOUT THEIR STORY IN THE
FALL OF 2020 ABOUT HUNTER
BIDEN’S LAPTOP.
THEY BROKE THAT STORY AND BIG
TECH SILENCED IT, TOOK IT DOWN,
AND WE NOW KNOW THAT STORY WAS
TRUE.
YOU COVERED IT AT THE TOP OF
YOUR SHOW, HOW THAT STORY WAS
TRUE.
AND I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU THE NEW
YORK POSTED TORE Y’ALL PAGE HE’D
-- POST EDITORIAL PAGE EDITOR
TOLD ME WHEN HE TRIED TO DIRECT
MESSAGE THE STORY TO OTHER
PEOPLE, PEOPLE WERE ASKING
WHAT’S THE STORY, BIG TECH WOULD
BLOCK HIS DIRECT MESSAGES
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SILENCE A
STORY.
THE ONLY JUST AT JUSTIFICATION F
SILENCING THE STORY IS THAT IT
HURT JOE BIDEN AND HELPED DONALD
TRUMP AND BIG TECH WAS BEHAVING
AS THE PARTISAN ENFORCERS TO TRY
TO SKEW AN ELECTION AND THEY DID
IN FACT SKEW AN ELECTION AND
THEY’RE CONTINUING NOW TO CENSOR
INFORMATION IF IT DISAGREES WITH
THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT LINE.
I GOT TO SAY, IT’S THE SAME
THING YOU SEE HAPPENING IN A
COMMUNIST COUNTRY LIKE CHINA AND
A COMMUNIST COUNTRY LIKE CUBA
WHERE IF THERE ARE FACTS THAT
ARE CONTRARY TO THE GOVERNMENT
OR THOUGH DOCKS-CAR OR DOCKSY,
-- ORTHODOXY, THEY PREVENT YOU
FROM SHARING THE FACTS.
THEY’RE DOING THE SAME THING IN
THE UNITED STATES.
IT’S A FRIGHTENING THREAT NOT
JUST FOR FREE SPEECH BUT FOR THE
ABILITY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TO LEARN THE TRUTH ON A HOST OF
ISSUES.
MARIA: I WANT TO GET TO CUBA.
I KNOW YOU’VE WITNESSED THE
EFFECTS OF THE COMMUNIST REGIME
FIRSTHAND WITH YOUR FATHER AND
AUNT.
FIRST ON CHINA.
JOE BIDEN SAYS HE’S THE ONE
LEADER THAT KNOWS XI JINPING
BEST ON THE WORLD STAGE AND THAT
XI JINPING TRULY BELIEVES HE’S
GOING TO ACQUIRE AMERICA AND
OVERTAKE AMERICA WITHIN 15
YEARS.
I MEAN, THEY’RE FOLLOWING OUR
POLITICAL DEBATES.
THEY’RE PILING ON.
DO THE PROGRESSIVES UNDERSTAND
THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THEY’RE
PUTTING THIS COUNTRY IN, THAT
THE CCP HAS GOALS, THEY’RE BELT
AND ROAD INITIATIVE, THEIR CIVIL
MILITARY FUSION.
THEY WANT TO OVERTAKE THE UNITED
STATES.
IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
ENABLING IS WITH ALL OF THIS
CENSORSHIP?
>> UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE.
AND ONE OF THE SAD REALITIES
TODAY IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS
STRUCTURALLY PRO-CHINA.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TODAY IS
FUNDED BY -- THEIR BIGGEST
FUNDERS ARE BIG TECH AND BIG
TECH IS IN BED WITH THE CHINESE
COMMUNISTS.
AMONG THE BIGGEST FUNDERS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE THE GIANT
CORPORATIONS AND MANY OF THE
GIANT CORPORATIONS, THE FORTUNE
50 AND FORTUNE 100 ARE IN BED
WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS AND
YOU LOOK AT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, JUST SIX MONTHS
INTO IT, JOE BIDEN NAMED AS HIS
UN AMBASSADOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO
LAST YEAR GAVE A PAID SPEECH FOR
A CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE.
PAID FOR BY THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT, PRAISING
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST
GOVERNMENT, JUST A COUPLE MONTHS
IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
REVERSED THE STATE DEPARTMENT
POLICY AND THEY NOW BAN TAIWAN,
ANY TAIWANESE OFFICIAL FROM
DISPLAYING A TAIWANESE MILITARY
UNIFORM OR FLAG ON U.S.
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT OFFENDS THE COMMUNIST
GOVERNMENT OVERLORDS IN CHINA.
AND I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU, WE
REALLY SAW JUST HOW PRO-CHINA
TODAY’S DEMOCRATS ARE IN THE
SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS
COMMITTEE WHERE WE WERE DEBATING
JOE BIDEN’S GREEN NEW DEAL
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
I INTRODUCED AN AMENDMENT THAT
SAID YOU CAN’T BILEK TRICK CARS
FROM THE REGION IN CHINA WHERE
THE UYGHURS ARE BEING HELD IN
CONCENTRATION CAMPS, ARE BEING
TORTURED AND MURDERED, YOU CAN’T
BILEK TRICK CARS THAT WERE --
BUY ELECTRIC CARS THAT WERE
MADE WITH CHINESE SLAVE LABOR
AND EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT ON THE
COMMITTEE VOTED NO BECAUSE
THEY’RE MUCH MORE COMMITTED TO
THE RADICAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA
THAN THEY ARE TO NOT FUNDING
SLAVE LABOR FROM THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT.
MARIA: UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
BEHIND YOU.
I KNOW YOU’RE SPEAKING AT THE
TURNING POINT USA SUMMIT THIS
AFTERNOON.
WE’LL BE COVERING IT ON FOX
NATION.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMMENTS.
REAL QUICK ON YOUR COLLEAGUES IN
TEXAS BLOWING OFF THEIR WORK,
GETTING ON A FLIGHT SO THEY
DON’T GIVE THE REPUBLICANS A
QUORUM WITH THEIR NEW VOTING
LAWS IN TEXAS.
NOW WE UNDERSTAND SOME OF THEM
HAVE COVID.
REAL QUICK ON THAT.
>> LISTEN, WHAT THEY’RE DOING
IS A POLITICAL STUNT.
I THINK IT IS SAD JUST HOW MUCH
TODAY’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS
DECIDED THAT VOTER FRAUD IS
INTEGRAL TO HELPING THEM TRY TO
WIN ELECTIONS.
THIS POLITICAL STUNT IS GOING TO
FAIL.
IT IS -- THERE IS CLEAR LEGAL
AUTHORITY UNDER THE TEXAS
CONSTITUTION TO ARREST
LEGISLATORS WHO FLEE THE STATE,
TRYING TO DEFEAT A QUORUM.
THE GOVERNOR RIGHTLY SAID HE’LL
CALL SPECIAL SESSION AFTER
SPECIAL SESSION.
THESE GUYS WILL COME BACK TO
TEXAS, THEY’RE GET ARRESTED, PUT
ON THE FLOOR OF THE LEGISLATURE
AND I BELIEVE THE LEGISLATURE
WILL DO ITS JOB AND PASS COMMON
SENSE ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWS.
MARIA: SENATOR, THANK YOU SO
