presidential candidates know the midwest will be crucial to winning this election and both donald trump andrew biden visited minnesota and wisconsin on friday with biden also going to iowa and trump to michigan the president returned to the themes that served him well in the last election protecting workers from the offshoring of jobs and the trade deals favored by wall street and multinational corporations and he does have an achievement welcomed by u.s. trade unions to point to his successful renegotiation of the north american free trade deal on after a vote for me is to keep and create auto jobs and all sorts of jobs in michigan where they belong. i ended the nafta nightmare and replaced it with a brand new u.s.m.c. a just kicked in just get you know how you know it's good because mexico and canada are so happy president obama also campaigned on renegotiating nafta but instead he
6:12 am
signed the us up to another international trade deal the trans-pacific partnership which unions felt would just multiply the jobs lost to other countries it's clear joe biden is aware of the suspicion among blue collar workers of his record both at obama's side as vice president and before nonetheless he continues to tout what he says was once a booming economy the truck was handed in 2017. care to the stronger economy from iraq and me like everything else he'd heard it he squandered. as senator biden long fought for the credit card companies of delaware that made up his donors against those forced to max out their debt and often advocated cutting health and pension benefits for the poor but now biden insists he's learned from the progressive wing of the party. you know who really built this country it wasn't wall street it wasn't see it was hard work and folks like all you know it's about time they wealthiest people in america the billionaires and trillion heirs out big

a cage it's account was frozen after the paper published articles about democratic presidential candidate joe biden's son twitter said it violated its hacked materials policy which is now being changed republicans had accused twitter of censoring conservative outlets let's bring in larry magid he's a tech analyst and the c.e.o. of connect safely dot org and joins us from palo alto in california larry welcome to the program 1st what do you make of this reversal. well i think twitter did make a mistake i mean look twitter has been accused of bias against conservatives and most of those accusations were plainly false what they mostly have done is taken away material which violates their terms of service in this case they had a rule about hacked materials but that rule actually doesn't make a lot of sense because it's pretty common for journalists even to report on hacked materials now if the hacker him or herself that tweeted that then clearly twitter probably should shut shut it down but the fact that some things out there were how regard less of how it's been obtained and of course you have
6:19 am
a dispute whether it was in fact hacked at all it's still material and the post i think had a right to post it even away whether you agree with it or not shouldn't be the issue the issue is did they have a right to share that information and twitter i think made a mistake and they realize they did and eventually back down some say that the story was riddled with holes and some fear that the story was designed to spread misinformation and ahead of the election but what you'll say is that actually isn't the point. that wasn't the point on which neither were they could dan simon for misinformation especially if it's harmful for example covert 90 misinformation or misinformation about voting that could lead someone to not vote that that would be banned by twitter's policy but there's a lot on twitter that's wrong and twitter is not the arbiter of truth in every situation so the reason they did this is allegedly that happened here although they were also under a lot of pressure politically mostly from conservatives but you know there are
6:20 am
principles at stake here and it could be next time it could be a liberal publication that publishes something that gets taken down and they need to have consistent principles and stick to them right many republicans would have it of course the big tech is boss against conservatives that the problem then is more one over inconsistency of how they police output. yeah and i mean frankly i don't think they are biased against conservative now i'm not saying that twitter is located in san francisco that's a liberal city i'm sure most twitter employees are are liberal but i don't think their policies have been anti-conservative they've been anti lying they've been out to harassment and if conservatives carry out those behaviors they are going to get shut down in this case i think it or if it made a mistake it applied a rule that never should have been there they got rid of the rule and then they want to had and said well even though the rules change here we broke the rule when it was a roll call ban that's nonsense if you change the law you should let somebody loosen up you know but if they violated the rule that is no longer rule right it's kind of
6:21 am
bounced back against with or is not because the whole thing enables those like the president to want to repeal section $230.00 which shields i think social media firms from being a lot of content right and it also amplified the story i think the story got more attention because of twitter's ban that it would have gotten if it had simply been a story in the new york post so i think it backfired against twitter and in the it amplified the story and i think it's good that you know the post gets the tweet and americans can make up their own mind whether they think that under by ignore joe biden did anything wrong but and that has not been proven to the post they're alleging it but they haven't proven it here and i said affection ok larry great to get your expertise appreciate that thanks a lot thank you now us judge has brought the trump administration's ban on top of the chinese own video cheri took a set of government restrictions on the would you to come into effect on november the 12th president donald trump all use it to talk is
