This should ‘scare the bejesus’ out of Americans: Sen. Schmitt

Around 5 p.m., now there's a committee, the House weapons committee, holding a hearing right now, lawmakers are taking a closer look at a lawsuit that claims the Biden administration worked with network companies social to protect freedom of expression and public opinion before the 2020 elections. A tasty topic, we will see what they can try. Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt filed that lawsuit. You were the attorney general in Missouri when that happened. Good morning. This is a hearing in the House, not the Senate. What can they prove? I testified in front. from that committee

this

morning Bill to talk about what we discovered in our lawsuit Missouri v.

Biden was the first of its kind, a landmark lawsuit that alleged and now proves that

this

was a Big Business censorship between Big Tech and Big Government, the white Administration intentionally trying to suppress speech by pressuring social media companies these social media companies were willing to accept special portals were discovered the Surgeon General texting top Facebook officials, you know Dr. fauci trying to cover up their role in the origins of kovid when we found out when Dr. Fauci spoke big, censored technology, so what we discovered in that lawsuit was significant and then of course the Twitter archives have amplified it and I don't care which Whatever your political leaning, Bill, in this country, this kind of censorship

should

scare

everyone. that the government, the federal government with this vast power and authority can censor millions of millions of Americans, we cannot let that happen again and that is the job of that committee.

Well, two specific questions here. You have a statement from Dr. Fauci, right? I obtained a statement from an FBI agent working on the laptop story. What are we going to learn well other than Dr. Faucii? The court reporter put on a mask when he sneezed, which was unbelievable in the deposition, but it was very clear that Dr. Fauci funded a third one. group to work uh in Wuhan uh you know, laboratory there where the laboratory leak now we agree that is the most likely theory of how this came about. He immediately set to work discrediting anyone who suggested the lab leak.

He knew it was real. I knew he funded it, but he worked with his social media partners to suppress it and, you know, they claim they were all conspiracy theorists and they claimed there was disinformation, we know that's true and then we also fired that FBI agent who I had monthly and then weekly meetings with social networks. The companies told them about the possible Hunter Biden laptop story that was a hacking and leak operation by the Russians. While they already had the laptop, they knew it was real, so they tried to preemptively debunk that story and then it was censored and these are just two examples, I mean, this spanned the entire government agency bill, it's something really scary, we can't let this happen again, so that committee is holding hearings and I was there this morning the last question: did they do the same thing?

Not with the Trump team, this was the appearance that these social media companies were willing to be partners, however, it is important to note that they coerced, cajoled, and colluded with these companies, threatening to take away their section 230 protections. to the press secretary, Dr. Fauci and the Surgeon General of the United States. using the heavy hand of the government to, you know, move them in that direction, the social media companies took it up again, a huge censorship enterprise that we simply cannot allow to happen in what has been the freest country in the history of the world the first amendments are pressure release back Bill the press release valve we have to hold on to that thank you for your time with the latest news we are short on time today thank you for coming we will see where it goes I'm Steve Ducey I'm Brian Kilmeade and I I'm Ainsley Earhart and click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page for our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis.
