in a twitter thread. >> what shitter e has revealed a far confirms what many suspected but nonet knew for certain, which is that twitter routinely censored. prominent critics of the bidenma administration did so in secret without telling anyoneti i and h no factual justification whatsoever. >> justifi this is known as shaw banning. twitter did itll t allhe the tit nohew, publicly, they denied w doing it. people who are being shadow band suspected something was up they didn't know. now, officially, twitter's chief legal officet dir, chief a censor at twitter, vagi got a woman who is rewarded by the bush administration for her work on their behalf, said that, quote, we dork not on th,n ban and we certainly don'te don' shadow ban based on political viewpoints. adow banor ideologies.r that's what she said.." that was a lie. and and the documents that barrydoct weiss is posting right now, including screenshots of twitter's internal censorship tools, prove that it was a lie .shadow one of twitter's targets for chatto banning was a stop. stanford professor, physician,p. phd college bought a charra, one of the most impressive

people in american medicine.meo >> some we'vwee ha'vd on this sw many, many times., manythere was no justification r censoring a bhattacharya, except he was one of the authors of the great barington declaration, which very early in the so-called pandemic infuriated our country's public health establishment, including tony fauci blic healt by opposing covid lockdown's joe biden has spent his career studying the health effects of various policieses o on vulnerable populations. so e so he knew that covid lockdown's would harm children.m and he said so. h that hase turned ousaidt to beu but twitter, doubtless at the request of the authorities shadow banned professor abouthoi a chart of stanford for saying this out loud. tiesned profr they prevented him trending, and that meant that most users could not see his tweets, though they were factual. twitter also shadow banned fox's dan bongino, according to weiss twitter. at one point seen. slapped a bue with a search ban that made it d impossible for users of twitter to find tweets by dan bongino. s

because they were inaccurate. no, because they were accurater. . that was .thrimeime that's always the crime..s the they never punish you for lying. >> they only punish yo ou fonlr telling the truth. twitter alsoling flag charlieki kirk's account with a do noto amplify tag . to wisch reports that, quote, the group that decided whether t to limit the reach of certaihenh users was the strategic response team. >> globac l escalation team, or srt. r get the team off and handle up to two hundred separate cases a day. >> another group within twitter called site integrity policy policy escalation support, not just the bureaucratic handles here. it's like a military. that group also handled channel shadow banning and that group included gotti as well as twitter executives. youcratiu will roth and prague agarwal, who ran the company. >> nonmpane ofy. this has been previously known. it was never disclosed to the beenic, wasicloseds threat is og . it's being updated as we speak.e and of course, we'll bring youwr we'll begimation as we get it.

>> we want to begin tonight with trace gallagher for an overview. maitri gal and becausela thighsd fashioned journalism, tucker, we're kind of doing what you're doing. fas and if we find something interesting, my producer will take one of barry white's lateste di tweets.re are 1 so far , there are 14 or 15 ,o e and she will hand it to me get and we'll get to it on the air . she's an independent journalist. and begas so farng about 40 minutes ago and has soased far released the 15 tweets. the common denominatortweets, au point out in the early thread, is that twitter employees build these black lives to prevent the disfavored tweets from trendingbuil, and then they actively limit the visibility of the entire accounmit or even trendings anpics. and as you said, they do thid tl all in secret without informing users, which is interesting because overusers, time they hae said again and again that they do not do this. now we're learning that they do this all the time. and you mentioned jay antaria, who argued that covid lockdown's would haro mentiom ca right. a he argued that again and again the covid lockdown's would harmn children. and twitter secretly placed himr on a friends blacklist list.

that means that your tweets can't trend. and if your tweets can't trend, that means they are censoringnd you because your wider message simply can't get out. you mentionee d some of w the conserver of voices like host dan bongino slapped with a quoting hereioned so, a searche blacklist. charlie kirks twitter account k was hit with a do not amplify. that also means there's no wayoe for charlie kirk or whatever he treats t tweets to trend. and he haso tren made this a puc fight. thihes. hasd he has brought this out and hets has told everybody that this ig. is happening. becaus of course, twitter would say all the time, no, because wewe c don't do that.an we canmore certainly expectr ont more conservatives to appear on the list, considering the evidencehe g th has pointed in that direction for years. but in 2018, the head of legalsd policy, you say, stated weshadow don't shadow ban. hing here's the big thing.e the drop we understand. we hoptande will have some morer information on what exactly the fbma i role was in warningabout th

twitter about the hunter biden laptops. e hunterstory. and if former fbi general ge counsel and then the timeneral twitter deputy general counsel james baker helped the fbi shut down that story. and what he did to help facilitate that.. so far , there are no tweets from very wise dealing with the government intervention at all. but we continue to get these 15 so far , 16 , 17 just came in, this one talking about the lives of tiktok, an account that was on the trends black list and was designated as a dod not take action or user withoutg consulting siop. again, it goes to the whole theme here of shutting down conservative voices. when matt taibbiof was postingt his twitter files, one , he made it very clear that thereer cere you know, both sides were censored to some point becauseee almost all of the employees at twitter were liberal or democ democrats. >> the democrats had twitterra,

ir, and those are the ones thaty mostly got censored. that and we're seeing proof positive. of that right now. we'll continueue t covering breaking news as it comes in. >> tucker mazing trace gallagher, no one can sumc up the story with no script ad lib on the fly better. and we appreciate it. >> thank you. so if twitter was doing it and they were, you think facebook and google were doing it, what you think's goingyou on youtube, we'll likely never know. but we can certainly guess. >> miranda devine was an early target of censorship by twitter .at " of course, she works at the new york post, which broke the hunter biden laptop story. she's beende following it ever since. she joins us tonight she with reaction to the second s tranche of documents. r what do yoeau make octiof this far , miranda? documenlook, it's i guess, not surprising, as you said, but it is really gratifying to see see ,see it laid out in policies and to catch out thoset twit top people at twitter inir their lives because they did

lie. they said that there was no shadow banking going on wheret r we knew just by our ownown ex experience on twitter,pe i , fo instance, since elon musk bought in, have increased my follow account by 40 per cent. and that's just somethin g that's experienced by conservatives across the board. conse and notice from all the names that barry weiss has brought up tonight, they're all conservatives. and barry weiss is not a conservativeht. e's not she's the "new york times", i guess should be a red pilledcr liberal, if anything. and if there were left wingers that had been banned, you can bet that she would have named them to be equal opportunity. i think matt taibbi waequas snoe probably by james baker. 't he said a couple of things thats didn't ring true with those first batch ofe twitter files f like the federal government wasn't involve d. w, t and so i think now that elon mus musk has kind of been killedself himself and james baker has gone, we might see more things

that are useful. but of course, as tracy justd th said, there's still nothing on h on the fbi. but it it's really part of an o overall censorship scheme. and it was anything that was, you know, anybody dissentingy ds against the biden administration, against federal agenciesinst , like the cdc, knw anything. for instance, i think a lot of these i think elon musk is getting ahead ofthat w the revelations that we're seeing out of that incredible'e lawsuit being brought by eric schmidt, the attorney general,ar now senator elect from missouri, and theouisiana attorney general of louisiana. they are suing the biden are administration for violation ofo the first amendment, for using the social media companies to do their dirty work. and that includes banning or shadow banning that that ikara o ,who is an eminent physician from stanford, multiple degreesn

and incredibly sober sense, , rational, thoughtful person. one of the three founders of the great barrington declaration, which just said it wasn't covid denying it is just saying we know enough to knowt t that it really just hits the elderly and infirm so they should be protectedaren't and let younger people who aren't affected keep the economy going and basically create herd immunity by gettingk sick with the virus and not dying. mos and that was just the most eminently sensible thing for everybody's mental health, physical health and economiceal. health. and he was hane was shadow band he and every sensible person online who said children should not be getting these shots because the the ill effectse il outweigh the benefits and theyhe are right. >> and unfortunately , dr. fauci

and all these people who just decided they were going to suppress the truth, they probably cost people's tliveruths. of course they did. of course they did. and it was strategic. i meanan, they weren't censoring people because they were annoying. they were censoring people because they were because they y e providing factual information that mightn have stopped certain policies or election results fromknow happening. >> so this was sophisticated and it had a huge effect eff on american society, i would say. ameri and miranda devine, certainly an effeccan society. t on your life.u fo and thank you for continuingrt to report on this for the last two years. twors. we will . >> thank you, tucker, for sure.r charlie kirk is someone elsemeoe who apparently was censoreded b by twitter, is the founder and president of turning point usa. presidenwe just told you that bi weiss a few moments ago reported that internally twitter censors set charlie repe kirks account to do not amplify stata joins us right now. you're jusks so much for coming on . you're just hearing this, too. i mean, thist jusheart happenes is happening, in fact, as we

as we talk about it. y >> yes, but do you have any idea which of your tweets set this censorship in motion? ini could probably guess. axiouple of years ago, axios did a study that showed that our twitter account had was the fourth most engaged twitter account on the planet. right up there with president trump. i mean, i've beeumn usinp.g twir for a decade, happened wellrstand it really well. and we were averaging one hundred and fifteen thousandng tweets a day when we were really at our peak.at and we would o talk about, for example, in the midst of the virus, how lockdown's might not be the best decisionckdown. we started talking about how ,, hey, ask the question, areeatm there other treatments that we might wantentst want t to talk n theno it could have been that. but then all of a sudden we sawa off a cliff almost immediately our engagement, our tweets disappear. t this i started to talk about this a lot, tucker, and i was called the conspiracy theorist. >> i wassmeare smeared and i std the reason that i . yes, exactly. you're cute and i' m. hold on a second. i used to go one hundred fifteen thousand read tweets and then it's kind

of one of those things, right,. recker, where they convince you to stop talking about ittw because you sound okay. res abou who cares about your twitter account? not a big deal . and now you seacco de actual ved documents where my twitterd account was labeled as do not amplify nsw, which i could only infer means not safe for work. other threat tag sa they're treating my twitter account with more scrutinyng and censorship. censor then the prime minister of iran, then hamas, then people that do actual terroristic type damage. and now we have evidence to show. that's exactly on my twitter account the last couple of years hao dos been down 95% in engagement. they saw what i had to say as a direct threat to the regime. amount >> so there's a huge amount of o unfiltered, hard core on twitter, i think, to thistwie day. but itr to was your twitter acct that was not safe for work, ntly. apparently, apparently asking questions about our lockdown policybout ourlockdown, which oa children and hurt our target audience. a turning point, usahurt our t s

kids, where they had to go home and stare at a screen all daye y long and turned in the most suicidal, depressed alcoholda and drug addicted generation in history. i started tweeting about. that. . apparently that was a threat. t now,ho my question, though,is anthon, is were they told to do this by anthony fauci that werey they told to do this by thegovet federal government? was my tweet somehow able to create viral counter messaging to what they wanted to see happen in 2020? we m we may never know, but twitterhe at its best when it was really r something that was worthy appreciation. i hope it gets there soon wase opplace where heterodox ideas were able to spread ideas wer instantaneously with morality and hold powerfue ablel people accountable. i happen to have one of thosed p accounts for a couple of yearsle and twitter went out ofan their way to censor itut and suffocate our account. >> let me asked, did you ever>>e complain because. because you understand, yo the platform. so you knew that something inorganic was happening, o yosomething fake was happenin. >> yes. s so was putting a thumb on the scale. >>d you complaino tw to twitter about it?, i yes, i did.

so i had a very warm meetinge tw with some of the twitter employees back in the summer of eighteen. i actually met with jack dorsey, personally jack where he assured me,ssured chatto, that it wasn't happening and i didn't really believe him at the time. but said, okay, whatever ,g because i wasn't really experiencing a lot of what we consider censorshit ofe considp and then six months later,onth twelve months later, i still had their contact information and i started to write them h like, hey, guys, something's not right here. silence. and then the virusnce, andn th d 2020 and you could not get aa re response out of twitter and then you would startt to tweet at jack and tweet it to twitter management. d it and it was almost as if itt beca became a wholly operated changey that kind of changed their modus operandi from beingf somewhat of a social media platform to a democrat super pac. c and i don't think they really cared. elon, on, praise god for his courage and his bravery revealing this. and i try to get lawmakers f t involved and other people and ir don't think we'll ever be able to measure the impact of what twitter did to our voices online.e to me in the calendar year of 2020,ur the lives that were lost, the kids that really had speech

impediments and delays and school closures. and , of course, the outcome of the twenty twenty election allsn came from a censorship regime, from twitter. censorshi that's totally right. and twitter did this. t we learned last week, partly because everyone who works as a liberal, but partly because democrats in congress threaten them if they didn't do this.lie republicans in congress just sat back and talked about the free market, useless as always. s charlie kirk, great to seeee yo tonight. thank thank you. >> sara murray is the founder and editor of compact. >> he says that the problem is deeper. r >> no corporation should have this much power over our freedom to speak. so thankk.s so much for coming on . >> so that that and that was. my summary of your view. >> tell us , what do you conclude from this? thanks for having me, tucker. the great danger in what we nowe seen, we all suspected it, of se course, alctl along. confi but normw we have confirmationha that shadow banking wasdo ing wahappening. i the great danger in this isn't that our freedom of speech is suppressed. although that's horrible.

and of course, these platforms are where freedom of speechs or lives or dies, but that the process that allows eliteitn opinion formation is a sealed bubble . right. that we hearri, foght?r examplee vladimir putin doesn't hear alternative views about his war strategy. in ukraine and that's why heand makes bad decisions. well, the same thing happens through a less direct statee sat director mechanism. hi hapin the united states and m the west. it happens through privatize ind censorship, through entities like twitter, but importantly, not just twitter, facebook,k, etc. if our elites aren't willing to listen to dissident voices of eminent doctors, likec dr. j.es but archaia, as we now know forw sure, then they don't they don't make good decisions. right, because they're their convincing themselves is sealing themselves in a bubble, not ultimately th that different from the kind of bubble that a khaddafi or a putin create in a different way, in their own sort ofy in counsels. of decision making. mak

so that's the kind of scary part of this, is that are elite, are themselves structurally turning themselvesth into bubble boys and into what they say they hate. >> i mean, i honestly wonder i don't know the answer, but could russian media be more controlled than american media is ? >> i mean, mayben aman, but mayt . yeah, i mean, the in 2020, y i a i have to say, i was working at the new york post that confluence of corporate big tech, deep state, blue check, be media all working together. you saw that in a way it was sort more terrifying because there's no center of power. you can say, hey, it's this it' one person we can appeal through this recognizeds process, which is why, tucker, i think we need we need to still insist on section twoed thirty reform. i won't get into the details t. but basically the reason twitter and facebook and youtube and alk l theses is others get to get away with this is that because ofbeca

the law in the 1990s, that was designed to help them censor things liks likee. cation it's called the communications decency act. they're using that. they'ract. ue abusing that now t like publishers, but without bearinbut withg any of the tradl publishers liabilities. and so that has to be changed because if you and i libel someone, you know, in print or in the media, we face this kind of liability and of course,y they do not. they genot the to censor. y gethey get to act like world w publishers, but without being bearing any of traditional publishers liabilities. - that needs to change because, okay, you know, i'm reallythat s grateful to god bless elon musk, but it's not just n one company. it'sot these others as well. they're all sort of monopolistic giants that we have no pushback mechanism against them. this has to have a structural public policy response >> murray, thank you so much for joining us . publithanks. >> so as he told you, one ofonet the account on twitter that wew

just learned was shadow very aggressively was an account called lib's of ticktock. now, there's a reason they censored because it'sd one of the most important accounts on twitter. there are very few opinions expressed on this twitter feed. it is almost entirely video, real video. >> no one disputes that it'sdiss real showing what is happeningda inside classrooms where are dren are beingss you taught, hospitals where your loved onesr are being treated all over the country. >> so twitter, on the basis of what justification? none o prevented lives of ticktock from trending. that means many people never saw what lib's of tic-tac posted. >> according to barry weiss, an internal twitter memo from october 2020 two after lives of tic-tac seven suspension admitted that the account not lives. tic-tac was not breaking anye. rule, the memo said this, quote, acknowledged that lives. a tick tock is not directly engaged in behavior violative of hateful conduct policy. so they didn't actually do anything wrong.

but twitter censors keptcensor censoring and shadow banning the account lives of ticktock anyway, because according to the memo, lib's tic-tac, quote, either leads to or eithe intends to incite harassment specifically against hospitals that are castrating children. that memo was prepared by twitter senior leadership, including its ceo and head ofthe legal for jaggery. >> the person who runs lives of tock joins us now by phone. >> i >> i sure appreciate your coming on .must h so you must have had some sense that you are being well, youe were suspended multiple times, but you're being censored in ways they weren't telling you, did you? y >> did you sense thious wasdid o happening? u e this whigh tech or. great to be back ? yes, i absolutely sense that i was being transferred. cens i have a very large account, i a not i never was able to trend. and now we find out i was on awe trend blacklist. d there were sometimes days ors aa

weeks at a time where i felte wr like my tweets were gettingin much less engagement than usual then they should and i think now it's clear that there wase a suppression and there were shadow banning. >> what's so infuriating about this specific example is that you were reporting i mean, you weren't and our viewers can verify this for themselves. they jusfor if t go on to yourye account. you're not actually putting n a lot of your own viewy puttinse here. you're disseminating, reported mateer, whose authenticity no ae one doubts. sont you're doing what the new york times claims it does, but you're actually doing it. >> unlike them. could p what could possibly be theificao justification for censoring? well, i think it's clear that they're used when they don'tto stand up to scrutiny. s and when i read their views in r their own words, they don't want you

to see it becausep to they don't stand up to scrutiny and it makes them look bad. and that's what they're really scared of. . and the craziest part of this whole thing is that, they admittethatd that i'm not n violating the policies and they still suspended me seven times,s seven times, three of which were for a week atven times, th. so i was suspended for probably a month altogether. and for what? for not even violatingnot ev their policies just because they don't liklatinge their owno views. they don't want yoeeu to it. that's exactly right. they were hiding. you expose them, they crush you. and we should sae hiy thisdi ist a hobby. i mean, you've expos devoted your life to this. we're glad that you have we t will talk to you soon. lives of ticktock. good to see you. jason whitlock is the host of fearless and one of "fe the clearest minds on topics lilee oflike this. >> jason , thanks so much for coming on . so you're watching this unfold as we are. you know, this is coming in real time, but what do you think so far of what we're seeing?s co >> tucker, i got to starmingt h,

i just w want to thank you for u what you're doing in real time. this is awesome. liveing. television journalism t we're all witnessing, and i'm glad to be a part of it. journal i'm gl ad ti hope that i can unpack heu i've been on this topic forn on about seven , eight years. this is deeper than censorship.. this is about propagandas abou and mind control. and little control of the american public. twitter and these social media t apps have been rigged to control our minds and what we think. and so w i want to be carefulo because i want to impact too muc much. >> it's hard for people t wh understand. but just think about whatx alex jones has experienced over sands y hook and the lawsuits against him and the money they've taken from him. haand now i want you to think about what twitter has donee lat to america for the last seven ,r eight years with black lives. matter. aney promoted the myththey and anger and the animus and the emotion that the police

were out here randomly killingk black people and everybodyod should be outraged. everybody should take to theto e streets. everybody should burn down co cities and communities. people should kill police. mmunitieso if you're the wife od david dawn, you should be trying to sue whoever's responsible on twitter. the democratic party that use ti this propaganda machine to stirm the emotions of the american people and create this myt of th that the police were out just ro randomly, indiscriminately killing black people. mland what you should do is overthrow this government, go tear down buildings.as if your business was destroyed during these riots, these five , six year spans,span obviously a crescendoed in twenty ,obvi twenty . but if you'd lost a loved one , lost your business, your old a great debt twitter, thistwittt propaganda machine was part of controlling the american public's mind and promoting a level of violence and chaosd o and anarchy that hurt everyday

americans cost people's lives. their response and need to be held accountable. our politicians needpeop to holo all these people responsible. this is very serious. this isn't about charlie kirk this or me or anybody that didn'ty wh get to grow our twitter account. it's about the mind control propaganda game. they've been playingy have on the american public to overthrowbeen p our constitun and our way of life.d th and they've been successful. and these people are evil and need to be held responsible. >>o we can only hope that elonk from aeveals in soon the degree which intel agencies from around the world have been operating on twitter. and operati think it's pretty clear it's extensive. so it is mind control. it's exactly right.nsive. jason whitlockthat's, has been that for six years on this show. great to see you tonight. grea tonight. >> thank you. >> so as we told you, repeatedin ,this informationg to is continuing to come out and obviously we will keep track of it if there obv tos another big story today, in december of0 2018, an iraq war veteran called paul wheelin flew to moscow to atteneeling d the g

of a friend he'd known ine the marine corps days after he arrivedad. six days, we think wheelin was arrested in his room atnd the metropole hotel and charged a spy in russian authoritiesrant claimed weland had accepted a a flasuthoh drive loadedrmatio with classified information from an intel agent in russia. n tel aghe was put on trial ands sentenced to 16 years in prisono for espionage. very frombe the very beginning, welat claimed he was set up. he said he was in moscow on vacation at the wedding. >> he wasn't spying on russia. wenow, we tend to believe him, though, honestly, we can't knowo for sure how could we? >> but either way, whether he was set up or actually spying on russia, paul whalen's case e d be a priority for any american government. here you have a man who wasre yu actively h serve the unitedunitd states in the marine corps and then possibly as an intel re asse coribly it in a hostile fo country. >> that macountrn is languishinn a russian prison cell for the rest of his useful life. so nott surprisingly, american authorities in washington promised to do everything prisonle - to bring this man

home. but it turns out they didn'tdidt mean a word of it. today, the bush administrationhe announced it had secured the release of an american imprisoned in russia, but ity ha was not paul whalen. it wasd a female basketball player called brittney griner, who was arrested several months ago for breaking russian drugtb laws in exchange for griner, the administration handed over an arms dealer called viktor bout, now boutnge they as indisy serious criminal. he sold weapons to terror groups that killed americans. we're not overstating that. here's a summary. victor boot.viktor in my eyes, is one of the most dangerous men on the face of dan the earth. >>on the face of the earth, without a doubt. mike braun, athe former chief f operations for the u.s. drugopet enforcement administration, toldions u.s us boot first expld on the scene in war torn west africa in the late 1980s, elevating bloody conflicts from machetes and single shot rifles to ak 47 not by the thousands,>> but by the tens of thousands.

so he weaponizes civil war in o africa. he transformed these young adolescent warriors into insidious, mindless, maniacally driven killing machines that operated with assembly line efficiencies. the u.s. has indicted him on four terror related charges, including conspiracyfour to kilt americans. >> what makes him a threat to the united states? he's he's a shadowy facilitatos he's arming not only designatedr terrorist groups, insurgent groups, but he's alsiso arminguu the powerful drug trafficking cartels. g around the globe. >> so that's the guy thatm joe biden just sprung from, th prison, the international arms dealer who'srnationa arming terr groups and drug cartels. now, keep inro mind, the same administration that did that cag is simultaneously calling for the arrest and imprisonmen arret of american citizens who have handgun magazines that hold more than 10 roundsnmen. so by any measure, it was a very costly prisoner swap. certainly from paul whalen'sfr

perspective, it was earlierom p todaauy. >> amazingly, whalen spoke to a cnn reporter from the penale pea colony where he's being held south of moscow. >> liste n to him's b.ei i would say that if the message could go to president that this is a precarious situation that needs to be resolved quickly and i would hope that hee th and his administration would do everything they could to get me pome regardless of the price they might have to pay. as this point, s i havaye to say i'm greatly disappoint that more has not been done to secure my release, my especially as the four yeary are anniversary of my arrest is coming up. comii was arrested for a crime a never occurred. i'm happy that brittany is going home today and that is trevor went home when he did. but i don't understand why my bstill sitting here. my bags are packed. i'm ready to go home.

i just need an airplane to come and get me. r oh, poor guy. i don't understand why i'm still sitting here. th said you can imaginl sittinee feels. so the former marine who's beern there for four years alreadyt bi gets left behind in russian while a celebrity athlete gets busted with hash. oil is championed by her o celebrity media friends like, is gayle king and his home in just months. it i mean, that's what happened. and it seems like a metaphor for how america under joe biden is working at this point. but no, says joe biden, we had no choice to take but to take brittney griner over. paul whaleoicen. >> putin demanded that watchrinv biden. we never forgoer paut about brittany . we've not forgotten about paul whalen, who's been unjustly detained in russia for years. this wasr not a choice of whict american to bring home. >> this was not a choice of which american to bring home, really. oh, but it clearly was a choice and we know was a choice because the first accounts of

the prisoner swap with russia eaid it was a choice earlier today. >>rlier andrea mitchell of nbcc is someone who's been inov washington covering news for more thafon 50 years, someonef h who is deeply supportive ofbide the joe biden administration. n contributed to a story that contained this line, quote, the kremlin gave the white house the choice of either greiner or whalan or none. griner so mitchell's piece attributed this fact to a, quote, seniorgu us official. >> it was not a guess. it it was sourced and then, as with the early reporting on paul pelosi, last month, that account was scrubbed and sanitized and a new versiona of the nbc story assures us that, quote, the kremlinite o ultimately gave the white house gre choice of either griner or no one . in other words, joe biden'sds, o version of events is nowe perfectly in sync with the official nbc news version of syi eventsth, of course.n and we missed this. a writer on substate called

jordan checkdown noticed it, h and we're glad that he did. >> this kind odid.f thing happes all the time in washington constantly, usually without the public knowing that it happened that ned.. an >> so at this point, we can assume the obvious. the bush administration chose c brittney griner overr over paul whalen, the basketball player over the marine. facing 16 years. there was only room for one , a lifeboat, and the marine got left behind. >> well, why they make thatyou h choice? well, you should knoouw thatthat whalen is a trump voter.is a trump voter and he and he made the mistake ofe saying so on .of s social media is payingayin the price for that now. cialbrittney griner is not. she's got very different politics. brittney griner despises the united states . >> she's been veryspis vocal abe that. this countryn is so repellentebel and immoral that two years ago she said, i honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our basketball season. noty she hates the country so h she doesn't want to hear itsthas anthem. that's the kind of position that gets you rewardedind of ha by joe biden hate america.ca perfect. we'll free the guy who sold, weapons to dru g cartels to gets to you out early. so there's that.

and then there's the matter of identity, which is central to equity. >> brittney griner is not white and she's a now. those facts might seem irrelevant to you. >> we hope they do seem relevant because they are, but they're not irrelevant to the white house press secretar thy. in the view of the white housey. press secretary, those are essentiaial qualifications for a prisoner swap. >> watch became to either bring? brittany home or no one . presi as the president said thisded ts morning, he will he will never stop working to secure paul's release and return home, and heh will not give up. on a personal note, brittany is more than an athlete, more than to be olympian. she is an important role oly mo and inspiration to millions ofit americans, particularly the lgbtq. i plus americans and women oflgn color. >> she should never have been detained by russia. . so there's joe biden's presseres

secretary telling you that brittney griner is important because she's a woman of color. important because she's the was what she said about how perverse is that? >> you hear that kind of stuff all the time, but how perverse is it? welle a press secretary from the last administration say sean spicer pausintion g in the middle of a briefing to tell you that quote on al personal note, it is thrilling when a straight white man gets o out of prison. >> what you think of that, you probably see that as an offensee against the idea of the rule ofr law, against the idea of a country where we're alle al treated equally because we're all citizens. >> but liberals don't see it that way becausecitizensrals dot believe in abstract principles. so they're a hundred percentsoe behind that idea.ea. here here's van jones on cnn. it just shows this thi president got it done. >> hs presidene cared enough ab individual person to get her home. home.s shockin g for i think for young americans to see an iconn like that snatched, locked up. but you don't have it.can't al what you can't allow to happen

is if a black female icone ic treated like garbage in america did nothing about it. i >> something was done about it.t and people are going to be can b proud about that. oh, so sad that you can't have n an american mistreated by ae foreigann government. gn you can't have a black femalen'a icon mistreateved by a foreign a government. see that you get moreigne right. based on what color you are, sex what sexual orientation you want. but that's not how this country works. u are buor has ever worked or sy ever work. that's immoral. , steve sheller has spent virtually all of his adult life as a marine corps officer. >> he's out now, as you probably know, now and joins uso assess. steve , thanks so much for coming on . so whatever whalen's real story is , and i don't know the answer to that, he is a rea marine corps veteran. he's been there foy r four years and they chose someone has been there a few months on a drug charge over him. e over >> what does that tell you? it tells me we need leader? to do what's right and nots me what's easy. we need leadere needs to starti prioritizing our service members and their sacrifices.

we release d an arms dealer thatts war starts wars in places that marines and service members respond to .w we and right now, we placedaced the the priority of the famous basketball player oversuch a the marine. >> that's such a smart point. s. we released the guy who starts we released the guy who starts the conflicts that marines have to respond to in order to leave the marine behind. do you think i mean, you live of u different world from those of us in the media, but people who have taken up arms in defense of the country like you have. ee do you think that they seethis this, that they the military enlisted and officer ranks here? understand what's going on here? >> absolutely. atucker. biden's i think president biden's comment that vladimir puticommet didn't give him a choice just shows the weakened position that our leaders are in rightcor now. we we need a leader with courage. we t neehad a leader that can de what we as the american peoplen, expect them to do. and right now, i jusust don't se that across the board from our leaders. >> yeah, it's it's it's distressing and humiliating, as so much has been recently. iappreciate you coming
