♪ ♪ [the star-spangled banner] will: all new details released last night about twitter suppression of the hunter biden laptop story.

pete: we are seeing confirmation democrat officials played a major role in suppression efforts? rachel: kevin corke joins us with the twitter stream. >> reporter: interesting story we will be able to unpack over the days and weeks and months ahead. despite intense and, for that matter, indignant denials by democratic officials it is now apparent based on what we learned from elon musk the dean democratic officials were censoring conservatives in the run-up to the 2020 election at not just conservatives but the hunter biden laptop story and this was happening in the fall of 2020. the details were given to a reporter that if you follow journalism in this town you know who this is, matt taibbi, longtime critic of censorship, who posted a lot of details on

twitter and linked the twitter thread. by 2020 he rates requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine, when executive would write to another or to review for the biden team and the reply was handled. it wasn't just a few tweets. there was evidence to suggest a platform officials e-mailed back and forth reporting when censorship was as i mentioned, quote, handled, celebrities and unknowns could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party. celebrities and unknowns could be reviewed at the behest of the democratic party in particular. there's also this. twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the hunter biden laptop story removing links and posting warnings, they even blocked its

transmission via direct message, that a tool that previously had been reserved for extreme cases like child pornography. in case you hadn't read the thread on twitter, it also points out that our colleague, kayleigh mcenany, was blocked just for tweeting a story which was put out by the new york post about the hunter biden laptop story, surprising story in and of itself. let me take you to the twitter thread. it talks about the public policy executive, caroline strahm who wondered why they were blocking the white house press secretary. goes on to say her note, returned the answer, the laptop story had been allegedly removed for violation of the

company's hacked materials policy. most surprising of all the suggestion jack dorsey knew little about those censorship, the decision was made at the highest levels of the company but without the knowledge of jack dorsey, the former head of legal policy and trust, playing a key role. i should share this, they are reporting the fbi warned the social media companies there could be potentially russian hack and dump or hack and leak operation against the hunter biden laptop story but we are watching not just now but we will be throughout the day because we understand elon musk will have more to say including more leaks. it should begin interesting weekend.

will: this was not the original but it was towards the beginning of the suppression and censorship regime and efforts and did metastasize, covid. i hope elon musk says let's open the hood on covid censorship but let's stay on hunter biden. here is the cover of the new york post, twitter scandal exposed as kevin laid out. i suggest twitter scandal exposed in part. as we sit here today, what we know is the biden administration did work the refs, to influence successfully, it worked very willingly. here is a great example. an email from inside twitter,

on an email from twitter, it says motor review from the biden team, several lines you can see in the reply from the twitter team. rachel: have got this. will: it has been a while since i sat and waited for twitter thread. here we go, 2 boxes of popcorn. it started with a kind of overview laying out both sides tried to work overtime, started that and 99% of donations from twitter employees go to democrats. as a result those requests are for more welcome, they used, pretended it was about hacked materials even though they had no idea and one democrat who are present silicon valley pointed out there is plenty of hacked materials, it's not -- whoever may have stolen those materials, not at play here and they knew right away when you look at communications internally they knew they were

violating their own policy but they are to had an ad hoc policy, effectively we decide what is where the additions worthy based on the connections we have and it always ended up slanting toward democrats. it started with kayleigh mcenany. election day to january 6th it went from banning the press secretary to banning the president and they went on hyperdrive giving the rationale they could, the hunter biden story was the beginning of the true exposure of their willingness to use the tool. >> twitter acting to suppress free speech is not a first amendment violation but acting under orders from the government to suppress free speech with no judicial review, interesting when you held up the new york post, this is a government scandal, this is a democrat party scandal, dnc scandal and also this is an election scandal.

this changed the election. i kept thinking as i saw these things, i was with you last night following the stuff that was coming out and kept going if i was donald trump right now and what i thought happened, there is actual proof and everybody in the world knows, how ingrained what i be. i feel angry because everyone knows i voted for donald trump, where do i go to get back my 2020 election vote which was altered by suppression of this information and we know that from polls that have come out subsequently that had people known about this if they would have voted for trump or not voted for biden. pete: that seems like the biggest part, but -- there is something bigger at play. this is the thing because it is not just about the election. this story is. in months we get to our mindset controlling our minds on covid, controlling our minds on the

war on ukraine, this is about mind control, not just vote control. what i am getting at is here is what we learned, what it appears is twitter employees were running around like keystone cops looking for justification that had an act, why can we do it? hacked materials, what i want to know this isn't just hive mind, just isn't a bunch of liberals who simply decided we all think the same thing, this came from somewhere and we know the government was meeting with all big tech firms. twitter on a weekly basis, we know something like 50 intelligence apparatus people called the hunter biden story disinformation, didn't just pick it out of nowhere and we don't have that. who planned the idea and who

pushed the button, looking like -- i don't know how you say her name, at twitter was towards the top of decision-making pyramid but somewhere this connects the government which is what elon musk is pointing out. rachel: another issues the election, we ended up electing because of this suppression somebody who's compromised to the chinese government, in the suppression of the laptop it is not just moneymaking. there is a national security implication, this is an just any election, it changed at election and put somebody in power who is compromised by the chinese government. will: a democrat who showed up in this release of the twitter file, democrat from california represent silicon valley pointed that out, and email to the head of legal policy, trust, and safety, how do you pronounce it?

this is what the congressman wrote to twitter, this seems to be a violation of the first amendment principles. i say this as a total biden partisan. anyone looking at it earnestly and honestly is recognizing there was a target in its policy wide arbitrary attempt to suppress political opponents. i tend to think there was a hive mentality in that everyone took the spaces where they were and leveraged the power and control they had to suppress stories they didn't like whether it is government institutions they could manipulate through their power, twitter's willingness to do so. you go here and you -- it was every one with access to power, willing to campaign the first amendment because it is in the constitution, the people that run the organs of the public square, let's put pressure on them and leverage their trump derangement syndrome to get

them to suppress stories. >> we can't what that happened in 2016 happen again. we cannot allow the american people to make a decision, and what you said about people using their power to leverage towards this one goal but it is scary because if the big tech can turn up and down voices at will, than it is not just -- my control, also our elections become -- it becomes -- pete: health choices, children going to war. all of it becomes a mirage. to your point i think elon musk has tweeted since this, he will start talking about shadow banning, he will reveal more about who was moved off the site, james woods, we will talk about this later was on tucker last night, seemingly the direction of biden, the dnc, the biden team.

rachel: jonathan turley was on hannity last night and here's what he had to say. >> the underlying story was relevant to that election, not just about hunter biden. it was a scandal involving influence peddling. one of the largest influence peddling scandals in the history of this city. in washington a virtual cottage industry. a few of us have seen anything like this. they killed a story that was directly related to the biden family and whether they cashed in on access and it was a close election and it might have had an impact but at the end of the day we have to ask how far did this go particularly after the biden campaign became the biden administration. pete: it makes me think, they

manipulate ultimately, they even manipulate what the public believes the definition of a woman is, they keep going on what was turned up, what was turned down, what was called hate speech. we know that people said a woman is -- they were ripped off. it is hard to wrap our minds around the extent to which our minds have been manipulated through this mechanism. rachel: i don't know if this would happen but it is a possibility this could happen as a result of this, when republicans and even independents who voted for donald trump when this gets unpacked over the next few weeks or months, we start to see this whole thing layout it is possible people who may be a few weeks ago were saying close the book on trump, move with dos santos, he's trump without all the problems. it is possible people who feel

this injustice deserves a do over. do you remember -- will: there's an overplaying of the hand that does strengthen him. >> remember when they raided his home how support went up for him, i will be curious to see how this plays out politically? last week people were marking him off as over but seeing how he was wrong did, how this election was rigged and the injustice to anybody who voted for him just for our democracy and from people who claim to be caring about saving our democracy it could have a political -- pete: google said never again will 2016 happen again. that's what we saw and look out elon musk. i don't think you can underemphasized the extent to which the back lash against it will be ferocious. we have already seen it. when peter doocy asked, it was

rachel: tomorrow marks two weeks since four university of idaho students were sound -- found murdered. pete: they continue to review the evidence but haven't revealed any major breakthroughs. >> reporter: almost three weeks since that brutal murder in moscow and there are no suspects, police providing updates on the investigation including the sixth person on that house is not considered a suspect and state prosecutor who visited the crime scene has a pretty good sense how the killer got inside the house. >> the perpetrator entered the second floor and would have done so higher up the hill to almost a separate section of the house which contains bedrooms and bathrooms on the second or third floor where according to reported news the killings took place.

>> reporter: the moscow police department said the security company was contracted to provide the same security to patrol resources. seeing does remain under control. a celebration of life yesterday, a pastor read tributes for the victims to surviving roommates referred to as the ideal couple. >> they would look at each other with so much love. they were the perfect duo. they both had this fun, passionate energy. this is from bethany. they were truly one of our kind, they are lit up in the room and were gifts to this world. i wish every day i could give them one last hug and say how much i love them. pete: thank you. a few additional headlines this

morning starting with this one. early voting in georgia's senate runoff has come to a close. herschel walker neck in neck with democrat incumbent rafael warnock. that early voting shattering records with a bigger return than any midterm runoff in history. president biden making an effort to boost warnock's chances saying the republican doesn't deserve it. >> president biden: this is not a referendum on warnock, this is a choice. a choice between two men, one who doesn't deserve to be in the united states senate based on his veracity and what he said and what he had to say, the other man is a truly decent, honorable guy. pete: georgia senate candidate herschel walker will join us later this morning. to the world cup, uruguay

picking up the 2 to 0 win over ghana but don't advanced to the round of 16 after south korea came up big with a stunning win over portugal. players taking out frustrations on the referees chasing them when they were leaving the pitch. you know who is in the round of 16? team usa. more than 18 million people watched them beat iran to advance, the men's team taking on the netherlands or holland. take your pick him. this morning at 10:00 eastern you could catch of that game on fox. before that, will will be previewing the game at connolly's bar later in the show. will: that was a mystery to us it left your mouth and also a watch. i like that you went ahead and

read that style that they wrote the headlines in. i wouldn't have done that. and the pitch. i am a soccer guy but don't be a soccer guy. i'm a soccer guy and you are not, don't be a soccer guy. it's not - it is 20. i don't know who wrote it. it is a field, not a pitch. rachel: what are you doing? will: i don't know much more than pete but there is a bar close by at the end of the show because the game is as our show ends starting at 10:00 eastern and we end on fox. stay with us to the very end and switchover. will: do you see the seinfeld clip, what is holland? what is the country next to belgium, no, that is the netherlands, they are the same. who are the dutch? pete: i need a clarification on those names, one country, three names. is it like england and the

united kingdom? those are different. that's how the netherlands and holland are different. that is my thinking, but why the dutch? you don't call us the united states, you call us americans. maybe that is what it is. someone needs to remind us. rachel: somebody who doesn't do a lot might be vice president kamala harris and right now her communications director, jamaal simmons, will leave his role next month joining a long list of departures. look at this list. it is a long list. pete: he claimed he was only going to be there for a year. one of the top advisors to biden and harris pulling strings behind the scenes.

what does the director for kamala harris do? will: if you look at those resignations, press secretary communications director. apparently what they do is hold onto the job as long as possible, 17 in two years. rachel: it is frustrating to work with from a comes perspective and her communications perspective but the rumor is that she is really mean and her staff is not treated well and some have gone on record saying that. did my kids tell you that i am difficult to with? >> kamala harris added a new chapter to her book reports, every time she talked it sounds like a student who didn't read the book and is trying to do a

book report by repeating the first sentence in a different order. here's her latest. >> we agreed to advance specific rules and norms, international rules regarding rules and norms, more specifically regarding the rules and norms and international rules and norms and establish rules and norms to govern space activities so we invested an additional $12 million into community banks because we know community banks are in the community and understand the needs and desires of the community and talent and capacity. talking about the significance of the passage of time, significance of the passage of time. rachel: if you have a great comms team and can't speak extemporaneously just follow the script, they will write something nice for her but she tries to go off page. pete: biden knows to cling to the teleprompter.

pete: community banks are in the community. will: 29 minutes after the top of the hour coming up, climate chaos of the netherlands otherwise known as holland or the dutch is going after farmers to cut emissions. one farmer joins us. let's pile on. thousands of farms could be forced to shut down. research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance,

rachel: in another blow to dutch farmers the netherlands is planning to close thousands of farms to comply with you but he did environmental mandates. farmers being hit with restrictions appeared to other industries to cut its nitrogen emissions. here to react is dutch dairy farmer kurt younger, good to have you here today.

what would be the impact of forcibly closing 3000 farmers in your country? >> we don't know if it is going to happen. it has a big impact. rachel: on food supply in your country but also throughout europe. >> also the environment we live in, the landscape. rachel: concern about emissions, farming is not the only industry that has emissions they are worried about. nitrogen emissions or whatnot. if they are targeting farming and farmers my question to you, is this really about emissions or control? if you control the food supply and get rid of these independent farmers you control the population perhaps. >> maybe more than the

nitrogen. we live in a small country. the fields we have, the space we use, people want to use the same space behind it. it is not only food. rachel: what does the government once with your land? housing for migrants? what is it? >> housing, a highway, lots of things, farmers and fields for them. rachel: are farmers going to go along with this? the government is offering above the value of the farmland so they can purchase it. are farmers going to give up their way of life for the money? >> no, not in that moment. it is a problem we have at the

moment. some farms won't stop, don't have a successor. other farms want to continue now that they -- how to continue their farms. rachel: farms are passed through generations but the skill of farming is too. what will happen to the future of farming if the next generation doesn't learn to farm because so many small farms of sold out there land? >> don't know what we can expect. my last, the grocery farmer, every generation is a successor, i'm the one in the line and i hope one of my sons

can continue farming if you wants and once i sold my farmer they could not continue. less farms left over. that is what happens. rachel: geertjan kloosterboer, the netherlands is a testing ground for this idea, i hope farmers fight back because this is going to spread. will: can you help with the netherlands, holland, dutch thing? >> i am a dutchman living in the netherlands. when we play soccer and go out, we say ago holland. i don't know the reason for that. rachel: even they don't know.

cannot be faulted. pete: how do you feel about the game today? >> we are going to win. rachel: doesn't your whole team have the flu? >> no. rachel: you are a good man. rachel: an important topic, appreciate it. they are so -- rachel: affable. all right. coming up, elon musk drops the twitter files revealing why the tech giant shut down the hunter biden laptop story. our next guest worked at the new york post the night there story was censored and he will share his take. adam klotz live from a toy store on long island for an annual event. gets into the holiday spirit.

a real story and all of this was based on this excuse that this was hacked material and what these set of documents make clear is even inside twitter with a matter of hours, they knew the hacked material excuse wasn't going to hold up but they insisted on it and suspended the new york post twitter account, the oldest continuously published daily newspaper founded by alexander hamilton, that is how they treated and the rest of the media lined up behind this concentration of corporate and technological power and censorship. will: is it your belief because of the actions twitter took against the new york post the other media outlets had rationalization or justification to ignore the story as well? was twitter the leader on that?

>> i can't place which of them acted as the leader. it is like this complex of institutions that included twitter and facebook, shouldn't forget facebook's role, the mainstream left media, and also included a bunch of former deep state and national security types who falsely characterized this as russian disinformation and worked together to suppress the story and as you said to legitimate the suppression afterword knowing ultimately this was going to hold up and there was no hacking involved. pete: here's what you tweeted october 14, 2020. this is a big tech information cool, digital civil war. i, and editor at the new york post can't post one of our own stories the details corruption
