no freedom at all. they will put this great republic on the trash heap of history if they have their way if our government does not act and act immediately. both facebook and twitter this week censoring "the new york post" bombshell reports linking joe biden to his son hunter biden's corrupt business dealings in ukraine and china. facebook censored the stories. twitter censored the stories. facebook saying they needed to be fact checked. and twitter called the stories, quote, potentially harmful. whatever in the world that means. within minutes both social media platforms had put an end to the free flow of information in this country. the free flow of information that underpins our very democracy. they blocked millions of their users, including myself, to

simply slow down the distribution of "the new york post" exposes of the bidens. twitter said their decision to censor "the new york post" links fell under what they called their hack materials policy. it is a powell that twitter ceo -- policy that twitter ceo jack dorsey ultimately claimed would be changing. social media's outright manipulation of the american voter is outrageous. it's also against the law. and it is worsening. and it is a deep-rooted practice in silicon valley. a prominent behavioral psychologist and professor has been warning us of the perils posed by the oligarchs of silicon valley to our election for some time. that election now 18 days away. professor robert f. sang told senator cruz that google, twitter and facebook use search

engines to manipulate votes in the 2016 election, swaying between 2.6 and 10.4 million voters in 2016 to hillary clinton. if that's not stunning enough, professor epstein says there are millions more votes on the line in next month's election. 15 million votes that could be shifted and shifted without anyone's knowledge. >> in subsequent elections google and facebook and twitter and big tech's manipulation could manipulate as many as 15 million votes in a subsequent election? >> in 2020, if all these companies are supporting the same candidate, there are 15 million votes on the line that can be shifted without people's knowledge and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace. lou: just how would big tech and social media manipulate this

year's vote? here's dr. epstein again. >> if on election day in 2016, if mark zuckerberg, for example, had chosen to send out a go vote reminder, say just to democrats and no one would have known if he had done this, that would have given that day an additional at least 450,000 votes to democrats. but the point is in 2018 i'm sure they were more aggressive. we have lots of data to sport that. and in -- to support that. and in 2020 you can bet that all of these companies are going to go all out. and the methods that they're using are invisible. they're subliminal. they're more powerful than most anyfects i've ever seen -- any effects i've ever seen in the behavioral sciences, and i've been in the behavioral sciences for almost 40 years.

lou: big tech social media influence wide-ranging and powerful. a recent pew study shows 26% of american adults get their news on youtube. their parent, alphabet, also parent of google. alpha bet, google, facebook and twitter is have a combined market cap of close to $2 trillion. by comparison, the other media powerhouses that effectively control the national left-wing media, comcast, disney, viacom/cbs, at&t and verizon have a combined market cap of $894 billion. along with disney. in short, silicon valley has chosen joe biden to be their candidate and to be our president. and they have the power to put him in office. and under protections provided to them by section 230 of the communications decency act, they

will continue to engage in censorship of articles reporting they will discriminate against conservatives and republicans who don't support joe biden. and independents, of course. without any fear of legal repercussions because they are a protected class, if you can imagine. that is, unless republicans and president trump move and move now to change all of that. it is urgent, and the republicanty must be immediate. the corporate left-wing media is also trying to cover for joe biden and his family's corrupt actions overseas. biden wasn't asked a single question last night during that town hall on walt disney's abc news program about "the new york post"'s bombshell reports. no, no. it was a question as to whether joe biden or george stephanopoulos would first fall asleep. instead, biden was asked

questions by the likes of the former obama speech writer and the wife of a former pennsylvania senate candidate in the audience. president trump, on the other hand, he was ambushed by savannah guthrie whose conduct was hateful and absolutely contemptuous of the president. take a listen to the contrast between the two programs. >> president trump talks about things that just aren't accurate about everything from vaccines, we're going to have one right away, it's going to happen, so on. >> that was a retweet. i'll put it out there -- >> i don't get that. you're the president. you're not like someone's crazy uncle, whatever. >> if the night before the election you are open to expanding the court? >> i'm open to considering what happens from that point on. >> military ballots from our great military, and they're dumped in -- >> why is a -- we could go on, we won't.

>> make it clear, i do not propose banning fracking. i think you have to make sure that fracking is, in fact, not i mitting methane. >> but then you have a report coming out two days ago that 85% of the people wearing -- >> i looked at that report. it's not about mask wearing. it was neutral on -- >> we're on the same side. lou: well, i've never seen a worse performance, lacking any respect or objectivity or grace. hateful, absolutely a hateful performance by savannah guthrie and, of course, nbc. comcast nbc. that was a corporate-mandated broadcast. disgusting. by the way, the same over at abc where they did everything but put joe biden in swaddling clothes before, well, suggesting that they might want to hear him say something further in his own

interest. even the left-wing national media could not ignore the obvious bias of the two broadcasts. a "politico" headline read today this: trump gets grilled as biden coasts. i would have used toasts, anyway. president trump today kicking off a what will be a very busy weekend on the campaign trail. the president holding two separate events in florida. he'll also be holding a rally later this evening in macon, georgia. tomorrow president trump will be in michigan and wisconsin. sunday he is in nevada. monday he starts the week off with a trip to arizona. energy, energy, energy. president trump's opponent, meanwhile, china joe biden, he made his way all the way out of delaware today. he dud campaign in michigan -- he did campaign in michigan where reporters didn't ask him a

joe biden likes to call himself middle class joe. he's called himself that more than 500 times by someone's count. but china joe isn't really that middle class anymore. according to joe and jill biden's 2016 tax returns, they made almost $400,000. but in the four years since joe left the white house, well, joe's made $17 million. where did all that money come from? some of it may have come from speaking fees. he he has a very good arrangement, and he had a nice book deal. but a lot of it so pick, it's hidden -- opaque, it's hidden from the american people. the bidens use delaware financial privacy laws to set up two s corporations called self-capri and giacap a a. many use corporations, perfectly legal to avoid paying social security or medicare taxes. the sources of such revenue

can't often be traced. the bidens used $2.7 million of that money to buy a second house in delaware in june 2017. modest joe, a month before they bought the house hunter biden was planning a business venture or with a chinese energy firm that includes -- for the big guy. so did hunter, was he funneling money to his father through s corporations? it's hard to tell, but many are wondering, and many now are digging. last month's report by senator ron johnson's committee points out hunter biden hid a lot of his money through several limited partnerships. so much remains hidden from the american people by middle class joe and the biden family. including his public, his years of public service at the university of delaware sealed away there. public service but very private

records. joining us tonight is president trump's personal attorney, former new york city mayor rudy giuliani, also host of the podcast common sense and chat with the mayor show on wabc radio in new york. rudy, great to see you. and this is -- >> good to see you. lou: -- an extraordinary expose, and it is so powerful -- >> it is. lou: -- so important that the american public know what's happening. your role in it has been central and that the of your attorney. can you quickly tell us how you came to be at the center of this? >> sure, sure, sure -- lou: that these got to the new york post. >> you know what -- i'll tell you what convinces me that this is very damaging. all they do is awe attack the process and attack me and attack the people who found it, and they can't attack any of the substance of the e-mails, the texts or the photographs which are clearly hunter biden. no question about it. and i'll explain that in a

minute. so here's how we found out about it. hunter biden brought this hard drive in to be repaired i'm going to say about a year and a half ago. he left it with a merchant. the merchant repaired it and then tried to reach hunter biden to give it back to him. he could never reach him. 90 days passed. at 90 days, according to the agreement signed by hunter biden -- which i have a copy of -- the hard drive was abandoned, became the property of the merchant. a few months later the merchant started hearing these things on television that the bidens were saying and was being said about them, and he became very nervous, and he decided he better take a look at what he had because it might be criminal in nature. so he opened it up -- lou: nervous? >> his words, he said he was shocked when he looked at it because he said the pictures were disgusting, they were dirty, they were porn graphic, and i they had evidence of a

clear number of crimes right on the pictures. and then he said there were texts and e-mails, and even though he didn't know much about the situation, it was clear they were hiding money, laundering money, involved with foreign countries. he was particularly angry because i was being attacked about ukraine, and it showed the whole ukrainian transa action. so he -- transaction. so he called in the nbi. he gave -- fbi. he gave it to the fbi. he told if fbi agent he was afraid something might happen to hum -- [inaudible conversations] so this would be about the time of the impeachment. and he told the fbi agent i'm very worried i could be in a lot of trouble here, they could hurt me. the bidens are very powerful around here. and the fbi said, well, if you keep your mouth shut, nothing will happen to you. and that became the attitude of the fbi. for six months they did nothing about it, nothing, nothing.

as far as i know, they didn't interview anybody, they didn't investigate, never called him back. he then sent letters to four or five different individuals -- to me, senator johnson, several others, i think, jim jordan. and my lawyer got a copy of the letter to me originally. and when he saw it, he said, look, i'll go talk to him, i'll vet him. the guy could be a nut or he could be for real. we've had both. so bob, who is an experienced trial lawyer, former assistant u.s. attorney, lawyer for george steinbrenner, he went to visit him. he spent several days with him. he vetted the whole thing. he authenticated the hard drive about five different ways -- lou: right. >> -- and made an agreement with the guy. he gave us a copy of it -- yep. lou: you said that you -- >> and we've been cataloging it since then. lou: -- you said you've been threatened. right. this is a very big deal in, you

know, to paraphrase joe biden. >> sure. lou: the fact of the matter is we we watched twitter and facebook shut down this country's -- >> host: it's extraordinary. >> just to keep that story out of yesterday's news story. by the way, they also blocked me for a short term and one of the installments of the new post reports. but right now this material is so damning for the bidens. the national media isn't even, the left-wing media isn't even asking questions of it, and they've had two perfect opportunities to do so. your thoughts about what has to be done now that this material is out. has the attorney general called you? has anyone from the justice department? is anyone wanting to find out

what's going on? i mean, the democrats have used a news story as a predicate to prosecute and investigate. against republicans. >> well, i mean, i put out a, i put out a text message last night that reads as follows, it's from hunter biden to his daughter at a moment of frustration towards the end of this whole cycle. he basically says no one in the family respects me despite the fact that i've been supporting the family for 30 years. and pop requires me to kick back half of my income to him. well, that really explains the rico case i've been talking about with you for years. the biden family sells biden's public office. they keep the mustn't with hunter or -- the money with hunter or jim, and they take

kick back to joe. it's quite a typical chinese arrangement which is outlined in peter schweizer's book. lou: right. >> basically, hunter biden is a drug-addicted bagman for his father. lou: yeah. >> very simple -- you can simplify it into one of the old-fashioned corruption cases. lou: well, you're one of the country's, at one time one of the country's foremost u.s. attorneys and prosecutors. is there not enough in all that the new york post has reported, plus whatever you may have additionally, but is there not enough here for a full-fledged investigation? i mean, we're talking about millions of dollars from from china -- [laughter] russia and ukraine. >> given the evidence that i've turned over to them going back to january of last year, i mean, there's enough for a conviction. [laughter] i mean, i would rate this case

as one of the easier rico cases that i ever had, and i'm the one who started the rico prosecutions not only of the mafia, but of white collar crime and political corruption. this is about as easy a case you're going to get at this level. you've got five witnesses, you've got video confession, you've got, now, e-mails that are damning, and you have an explanation of the distribution of the e illegal money that hunter biden provides. and there are more e-mails and texts that explain how hunter biden divides the money and the father gets some of the money. so joe, when the most crooked man in ukraine wanted to get his company out of trouble, he hired hunter. but that money was for joe, and it was for joe to save his company which, in fact, he did. in february of 2016, the

prosecutor who supposedly -- lou: rudy, i need to -- >> which was a big lie -- go ahead, yep. lou: rudy, i've got to interrupt you because we're coming up against one of those computer-driven hard outs. >> i got it. lou: your sense of the urgency at the justice department to find out what is going on, both to go after social media and big tech, i mean, for absolutely shutting down the freedom of speech and free expression in this country on this story, on this candidate and this evidence that looks, as you say, like a -- looks to you like a conviction but worthy of investigation and immediately. we're 18 days away from a presidential election. will the, will bill barr do anything? will bill barr's attorney, his justice department do a thing? we've got 30 seconds. >> there have been so many of these that i think it is

absolutely necessary that both bill barr and christopher wray, as soon as the president comes back, sit down with him and explain what the hell they're doing. i mean, you look at the brennan thing last week, that was hidden for four years. we never had to have the impeachment. lou: right. >> i gave them all this evidence. i gave them all this evidence a year ago. they did nothing with it. ukrainians gave them this evidence two and a half years ago. they did nothing with it. it's an outrage. we don't have a justice system in this -- lou: i think the american people -- yeah. i think the american people are, if they weren't already aware of it, this certainly should be the final -- >> they should be. lou: -- eye-opener for everybody. rudy giuliani, thanks so much for your time. good to see you. congressman steve scalise joins us here next. stay with us. all these backstories? i got help from a pro.

authorization for a vaccine. possibly. by the end of november. >> yeah, lou, it's good to be with you. it's just nothing short of revolutionary, what president trump has done through operation warp speed, to get us to a point where we're on the vice presidential of one or more approved, fda-approved vaccines under emergency use that actually will be vaccines tested and proven against covid-19. this has never happened before in the history of i any major virus where less than a year later we're at this point, and it's only because president trump made this a priority. it's been part of his plan that's been incredibly effective. this will save lives and, hopefully, as we see moving to this knecht stage the, this has been probably one of the most tested vaccines we've seen especially in such a rapid period because of the president's leadership. lou: it's certainly a hopeful development and can't get here

disturbing. but, unfortunately, this is something that president trump's seen for a while. a lot of the coffer-up that's been going -- cover-up that's been going on not only within some levels of government, but you're seeing it with the media where you literally have a story breaking. new york post is a publication that's been around for over a hundred years, breaks the story, shows documentation that hunter biden apparently arranged a meeting between his dad, vice president at the time joe biden, and communist party officials with the chinese government. and the fact that the media won't even ask questions about it, and twitter is blocking even the distribution of it, it's something that ought to frighten every american and, frankly, the fact that george stephanopoulos didn't ask one single question last night when this story was breaking, it was out there widely known, and he just sat by and lobbed softballs all night long. it shows you what's going on in this race. lou: right. it shows you clearly, particularly when you think it's the disney company that owns a

there is considerable evidence in "the new york post"'s outstanding reporting. >> yeah. the post, the post articles have been very important, putting a lot of detail, putting a lot of detail on what the bidens did do. i think it's important, however, to go back to several years ago. we've known the general shape of the bidens' corruption in ukraine basically since 2015. "the new york times" was reporting it then. the reason the press is burying it now is because the context has changed entirely. it appears that the clintons leaked it to "the new york times" to keep joe biden out of the 2016 primary race. they all know what's happening here. they're burying it. but the bigger problem is not just the press. the fact is we're seeing repetition of what christopher wray's fbi is up to. in december, as mayor giuliani was talking about, not only did they get word of the hard drive, but that was also when they were

putting the president through an impeachment process that had to do with the bidens' corruption in ukraine. as many of us were saying at the time, the president was absolutely correct to want to know what was going on with the bidens in ukraine. and now we see that the fbi, christopher wray's fbi, buried that. this is part of a larger cover-up. lou: yeah. it is a cover-up that has extended. it is now clear that the current director of the fbi has much to answer for. it is not simply stonewalling, it is not similarly slow rolling. this is a full-fledged cover-up by the upper officials of the fbi. do you agree? >> absolutely. lou: i'm sorry -- >> it's an active cover-up. no, it's an active cover-up. lou: so why is it with a republican attorney general, one in whom this president and many republicans had great confidence in, that this is still ongoing,

there is obviously, there are obviously huge problems with political corruption atop the justice department and the fbi still. >> absolutely. and, you know, we see it also, we mentioned the intelligence community assessment before. we see problems at the top of the cia. the president has in some cases through bad advice, in many cases simply through subterfuge, but he is surrounded by people who are not only not helping him, as you said with christopher wray, it's not only a matter of disinterest, it's a matter of actively working against the president and the american public. that's the key takeaway for me. they're not just targeting president trump. and, finally, that that's what this new book is about, "the permanent coup." 9 yes, they've gone after the president, but it's an attack on the foundations of the republic. lou: and the documentary, we

want to give, give notice to as well, because it's getting an extraordinary reaction. and where all can it be seen now, lee? >> right now i think there are a number of different streaming, streaming mechanisms where people can see it. there's a web site, plot against the president, the movie. and i didn't direct it. it was directed by a woman named amanda milias. we've become friends, and i can't tell you how honored i am to have her do that work. it tells the story in a great way. i recommend it to everyone. lou as do we. and she will be our guest, i believe, next week to talk about the documentary. and it's always great to have you with us, or lee. >> thank you. lou: these are incredible times in which we live, and thank you for reporting on some of the most important elements in these times. well, president trump has accomplished more than any president in his first four years in office, since certainly

and all americans. especially in the pro-life, pro-religious liberty arena. and, lou, i just have to say this, this week we have heard from that turncoat ben sasse who accused the president of other things, of mocking evangelicals. lou: yep. >> you know, there's a difference between mocking christian leaders -- which i've done myself -- and mocking christianity itself. and i can tell you this president has never mocked christianity. in fact, we heard him yesterday in north carolina say something astounding when he credited one person with helping healing through this coronavirus that he suffered, and that is jesus christ. he unashamedly talked about his faith in jesus christ, and i believe this president has the ref e reasons for the -- reverence for the lord, and i would just encourage evangelicals not to listen to those naysayers and turncoats like ben sasse. lou: well, sol of the things

that -- some of the things that ben sasse is credited with saying are just outrageous. >> yes. lou: i think he's one of the most ineffective but venomous little fellas i've ever seen. [laughter] i don't know what the people of nebraska were thinking. i mean, i really don't. i mean, he's just -- he does nothing. he runs off at the mouth, and most of what comes out has a stench to it. >> let me tell you something about that, lou. lou: go ahead. >> yeah. two years ago i went to a dinner at the white house, small dinner with the president and ben sasse, and ben sasse was falling over himself being solicitous of the president. but as soon as he figured out he wasn't going to have a primary opponent, he decided to unload on the president thinking this was going to help position him for his own 2024 run for president. well, let me tell you something, this week we saw the ben sasse

2024 presidential campaign explode on the launch pad without ever getting off the ground. trump supporters have a long memory, and they're never going to forget that he jumped ship when he thought the ship was sinking. lou: yeah. well, that fella isn't qualified for the job he's got. the thought of him advancing is unthinkable, i think. and also he lectured his colleagues on the senate judiciary committee about civics and then hypocriteically was spewing -- hypocriteically was spewing nonsense. this business with silicon valley, social media shutting down free speech, free expression in this country, i think they just tore it for joe biden because this is an outrage. their power i think -- i hope that ted cruz who's been at the forefront on the idea of their immunity from lawsuits, for

responsibility, i think he is -- i hope he means to take care of business urgently, he and senator hawley as well. your thoughts. >> well, jesus said you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. and, of course, he was talking about the truth about, not the truth about hunter biden, but the principle still stands. we ought to seek truth and not suppress truth. and for three years the left sought the truth about donald trump and russia, and they found there was nothing there. they ought to seek with the same vigor the truth about hunter biden is and ukraine and social media should not interfere in that search for the truth. lou: yeah. the truth in china and russia and ukraine looks like it's going to be quite interesting. we'll see how much of it is revealed between now and election day. kudos to the new york post for its outstanding reporting. pastor robert jeffress, kudos to
