"gutfeld" next. >> todd: a fox news alert the latest twitter files being released overnight. we are learning the social media giant was blacklisting prominent conservative tweets and users plucking those users from sharing their views. while matt, what the last 12 hours as ben. you are watching "fox & friends first" on friday morning, i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. shocking files with shadow banning to limit the visibility of tweets coming from conservative commentator activists and even doctors.

an independent journalist detailing how twitter flagged accounts and tweets in an attempt to limit its reach on the platform. take, for example, the hill was placed on the trans-black list by twitter after arguing covid lockdown could harm children, which they did. >> todd: conservative activist charlie, do not amplify but in an attempt to limit his tweets from gaining retweets from other users. >> carley: tiktok account a popular account to expose woke ideologies put on the blacklist making the tweets appear less frequently on other users timelines. >> todd: our own bond gino with a black list making it difficult for other twitter users to even find his account. >> all you media clowns and lagoons and that's who told me i was the crazy conspiracy theorist, tell me we live in a free country where three of the

largest social media platforms that are of the new public space where we can all talk when an opinion guy like me cannot speak on these platforms, was restricted from doing so or banned in the case of youtube, shuttle van in the case of twitter, tell me how we live in a free country? you are supposed to protect the staff. you guys have a constitutional carve out to freedom of the press. it is literally written in the constitution. what do you do? you will avoid this story the entire time. >> carley: that is right. it was not just media shut it down but twitter's own founder denying it was happening. >> censoring people? no. twitter shadow banning, prominent republicans, bad. is that true? >> no. >> todd: elon musk promising he will find a solution for shadow banning users as he remains adamant on exposing sensors ship on the previous management, "twitter is working on a software update to show the account status so you know

clearly if you have been shadow banned. the reason why it had to appeal." but despite, the white house has no comment. >> you said you really can't talk about communications between the biden campaign and twitter but who is telling you that that is off-limits? >> i've already had that conversation with you yesterday. and i've already addressed this multiple times this week so i don't have more to add. but we have litigated this all week. i don't have anything to add. >> carley: this is a major development as the release of the files uncover the steps twitter took to quiet conservative voices and miranda devine was an early target of censorship for her reporting on hunter biden but here is her reaction to the second round of files that were just released, watch this. >> it is not surprising as you said but it is gratifying to see it laid out in policies and to

catch those top people at twitter in their lies because they did life appear they said that there was no shadow banning going on. we knew by our own experience that since elon musk with a account by 40%. that is just something that experienced by conservatives across the board and you notice from bari weiss has brought up tonight they are all conservatives. bari weiss is not a conservative. she is ex-"new york times" so i guessed a red pill liberal if anything. and if there were left-wingers that had been banned, you can bet she would have named them to be equal opportunity. i think matt taibbi was snowed by james baker and a couple of things didn't ring true with the first batch of twitter files like the federal government wasn't involved.

so, i think now that elon musk revealed himself and james baker is gone, we might see more things that are useful. >> carley: let's bring an florida congressman and elected dod advisor cory mills. cory, great to have you in the studio. what do you think about all of this? i think a lot of people knew this was going on. we just didn't know the extent how far twitter went to students or conservatives. and you have one finalize tweet quoted a twitter engineer, we controlled his ability quite a bit and we controlled the amplification of your content quite a bit and people don't know how much we do. >> looked, it is a complete denial of our first amendment and free speech but the big thing we talk about jack dorsey and all these committees purging themselves under oath. now is the time congress needs to take this forward and say, okay you purge yourself under oath. how do we refer this to the doj

for criminal charges? had to be stopped soap chief political writer can pay for the american people? that is what i want to see coming into the 118th congress, we are actually fighting for the american people holding them accountable not just political band standing to try to get more likes, tweets, clip bait. this is about real action. we know they were censoring conservative and interfering in our election. god knows how many races were impacted with shadow banning to not get their message out and name ideas such a big deal with campaigning, this in itself could actually make a change on some elections. >> todd: he answer the question i was about to ask, what will congress do about this as an incoming congressman? the second follow-up to that is your democratic colleagues who call about the threats to democracy always mention that will they be willing to deal with this problem when, in fact, this is a problem that really benefited them for years?

>> what you said exactly right, todd. it is only benefiting them, than they had no issues whatsoever with twitter. the minute elon musk put his bid and what do we see, was mary poppins, she was going to come in and be the czar of this information. it is not until good for the but not for me but you are exactly right, we need to take action. that is what the american people are doing. elon musk giving a circumstantial evidence we need to take this forward. we know jack dorsey purged himself. we know we have all the information where conservatives are being censored in discrimination. this could impact election outcomes. now, what can we do to hold criminal charges and bring it to the doj? >> carley: a long list making himself a target and talk about investigations of democrats. democrats want to investigate his purchase of twitter. there is an investigation in san francisco for elon musk adding beds to the twitter office. what does his future look like?

what does the future of twitter look like? speak with the great thing about elon musk, he doesn't care, does he? that is why he did this to ensure free speech. elon must get some great conservative, but he's not. he's not conservative. he's not to the left but really just a free-speech guy. he believes that we should have uncensored speech. he unlocks people's twitter accounts finally and uncovering what is going on. look, in my opinion he has the great uniter when it comes to people having the ability now on social media platforms and speaker. >> todd: be on the investigation there are two things to take away, one, this happened and to come they lied to us about it at the highest levels in congress in the halls of congress. i want to move onto this because this was another huge story brittney griner to arrive to the u.s. after president biden broke a deal with merchant of death viktor bout in exchange for relief but the president is

being accused of prioritizing celebs over -- in russia, here is the white house. >> a personal note, britney is more than an athlete more than in olympia she is more than a role model to millions of americans particularly oh gp q2 i. >> todd: cory, why does that matter. when paul a marine who defended our -- is running in jail now question marks because she did commit a crime where he was just accused of espionage and wrongly -- >> carley: it was in a crime that deserved any time or cannabis oil she was wrongfully detained. >> 100% correct but at the end of the day so was paul whelan and at the end of the day he we had no evidence of being prosecuted for but my biggest thing, this is about politics and about trying to play

politics where celebrities are -- this was a bad trade to begin with where we should not have pulled out the merchant of death boot, a charge for terrorism. this is a guy sold weapons and killing other americans. tens of thousands in and never come here this is gru russian spy who was sent to language schools, the not the run-of-the-mill kind of guy. so we just traded them, have no control of negotiations but here is what scares me the worse, we have now set the precedence for any dictator or tyrannical style leadership to save the cost or the value of americans has changed. we have endangered americans abroad to a nail if wrongful prison, we have given negotiation to. >> carley: also the question why russia wanted this guy back so badly and say director burns was asked that quite recently and said, i know because viktor bout is a creep. given his line of work providing weapons to terrorists, does him being back in russia because the

national security issue for the united states? are we in more danger now because he's free? >> i think any of these types of individuals being free in america or in the world is dangerous for everyone. this is a guy literally had a 50 plane cargo hall gunrunning, if you will come across the world. this is an individual who can very easily restart his business and be down to start helping militia and various organizations with taliban, isis, you name it. this individual could get weapons in their hands to be utilized against americans. >> todd: let's be clear, two things on this as well. he will be back out there endangering american lives very quickly, and joe biden got played. it will incentivize other bad foreign actors to kidnap americans to facilitate these swaps. >> carley: the white house press said it was either brittney griner or nobody at all. but when you think about these

really difficult decisions that have to be made on this front, it does to me if that was the choice, russia did have the upper hand. >> todd: they had the upper hand and this is part of what we have been talking about for years now. we have seen it, or spot in the top of the world's hierarchy. no one respects us. they know they can take advantage and that is exactly what happened. >> carley: we are glad brittney griner is coming home. >> any american but at the end of the day we should control negotiations. we have been embarrassed on the world stage since african withdrawal. >> carley: cory thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> go to see you. >> carley: authorities investigating angry messages throwing threats to kill schoolchildren and rand paul and mitch mcconnell were both from the state. the anonymous threat, "you want to vote mitch mcconnell and rand paul, you will deal with what comes with that. i want you all to look at your dead kids and no it was because

how you voted. i will do it all at a football game. i will do it whenever. you can't stop me." and threatened donald trump, three schools in the era have issued warnings to the community and the fbi has stepped in looking to identify that culprit. my goodness. >> todd: unbelievable listen to this residence el paso, texas, with my friends are just appearing in their driveways. one woman who lives near el paso border highway said, "this guy came up to me and say if he could stay in my garage a few minutes. so it startled me. that would startle anyone. she and the migrant had a little blood on him and they spoke to u.s. border patrol, u.s. sector warms the criminal smuggling migrants who would not be eligible for asylum. >> carley: a new texas task force chasing down illegal god always has the problem keeps

getting worse. >> todd: kevin corke live in washington with the latest, kevin. >> carley and todd, the lone star state delegation unveiling a border free work that has been written, "by texans for texans." it is the latest plan released by the g.o.p. to secure the southern border before seizing control of the house chamber in january. the numbers come i have to be blunt here, they are staggering. 73,000 god always in the month of november alone. with respective if you live in texas, let me just say this, that is more than the entire population of the city of san marcus in one month. 137,000 in fiscal '23 and 600,000 in fiscal year '22 and the new plan aims to assist cutaways with the use of drones

and dogs. lawmakers say they will complete the wall infrastructure at the border as well as installing 70e border while randall reimbursing the border security expenses. >> it is in critically important people in the immigrants getting abused and tractor-trailers in san antonio, getting raped and stash houses and 70,000 people who died and the moms i have to talk to everyday whose loss of wealth one at the border because they refused to secure the southern border. we know the truth, he, ella hunter americas teaming up to danger americans. >> this is all happening as mobs of illegal immigrants search with the border for cartels we are told often orchestrated, facilitate much of the traffic and in the case of some cases, they also force these individuals to transport illegal contraband and drugs.

now, even their scouts are keeping a watchful eye on those covering the crisis, including our own fox news teams. cartel scouts are everywhere. meanwhile the border is facing a looming challenge with the expiration of title 42, which had been used to expel majority of illegal immigrants of the southern border since march 2020, that is set to expire on the 21st of december. be forewarned, guys. >> carley: kevin corke live for us, thank you so much. the plan the republicans released is aimed to get on the same page how they will tackle this issue. but i think republicans by and large already are. it boils down to building the wall, stop, catch and release and cartels as terrorists and increasing penalties for drug smuggling and human trafficking and including and especially fentanyl. it is straightforward to me. how does this get done with democrats in control of the senate and executive branch? i don't think so but republicans

will certainly try. >> todd: for designated cartels with human trafficking, we need to do this now because we are losing americans an alarming clip on a day-to-day basis. literally people are dying. if we don't do this, this trend will continue. i shudder to think how much worse our situation at the border will be if republicans don't be a large part of this plan in place. you raised proper skepticism but can they get it done? i shudder to see what happens if they don't. it begs the question, why is this plan extremely logical like you said -- why does joe biden go out of his way to do literally the exact opposite of these measures on a day-to-day business? >> carley: because the question that answers itself, todd, the prior administration was strong on the border so when the president came into office, president biden came into office he wanted to reverse the policies. look what is happening now, those number 73,000 and november alone. title 42 coming up at the end

of december, there is 7,000 people crossing the southern border daily hear that number is supposed to increase by 18,000. and i know that kevin mccarthy said things are getting so bad at the southern border that he is suggesting a special locks to be down there. get the navy seals because the mexican drug cartels with high-powered weapons are completely controlling the southern border. >> todd: i talk to somebody who's a basically they are a nation within a nation. the cartels are part of a nation that is within mexico. they there is basically too many down there and i know it sounds like i'm making a joke. i am not, this is serious. to your point joe biden reversing anything trump did come i truly believe trump said we want open borders we would not be in the situation because biden would close in. >> carley: that is politics works. >> todd: exactly literally the exact opposite because he wants to do anything against donald trump here that is why we are in the situation. spate of that is right.

president biden when he was a sector did vote in favor of 600 miles of border fencing. >> todd: bill clinton wanted immigration reform, barack obama wanted immigration reform but now nobody is. >> carley: hunter cozying up to "the new york post" interestingly outside of this exclusive so-called art gallery showing. post photographers snapping these pictures last night. hunter wrapping his arm around one of the reporters and inviting him into the venue as long as he didn't take out his phone. but the post managed to get photos of the event showcasing hunter's newest abstract paintings. you see them right there, quite colorful pier of the sales behind hunter's artwork have raised eyebrows in the past. they could be tied to people trying to influence the white house. >> todd: hubris, that guy, the post, bring it on peer to wow, expensive after all it is it is an increasing ticket prices yet again. >> carley: what question marks me when i thought they would go

down but i was wrong. multiple parks with the kingdom with prices to range $124 to $189 and that is for a day. in the past is reaching upwards of $1300. disney said it is focused on providing guests with the best most memorable experience by expanding its theme parks with new attractions and offerings. >> carley: are you interested? >> todd: not anytime soon. you know how cheap i am. in the meantime, the las vegas raiders duking it out on the road against the l.a. rams. falling short 17-16, the raiders in thursday night contest, a huge win for the rams with new quarterback baker mayfield. he was on another team monday but coming on the bench to lead the charge. >> second antenna, mayfield and jefferson, is that possible? touchdown. >> todd: 98-yard drive to close it out and again he was on

contacted you in some way and said you have to pay a whole bunch of money or they are cutting your lights off. you went to facebook to explain the situation and said to people in the neighborhood, you know if you want good pizza come down to angelos and i could get the bill paid off but tell us what happened there. >> he has come i paid them $1800 that day and they wanted another $1800 and i didn't have it. i asked them for a two-week extension and they said no. they were giving me two days. so i was pretty upset and pretty angry and i went to facebook, which i have never done that before but i chose to do at this time. i did, thank goodness i did because about 10 minutes after my facebook post, i started getting orders and phone calls and people wanting to support us. so within the next few days my things were really, really busy. we had a local charity,

told think about visibility filtering as a way for us to suppress what people see two different levels. it is a very powerful tool. joining us with todd mikita, inc. you so much for joining us. i think one of the big questions here is there a first amendment issue because this is a private company but could there be a first amendment violation giving the fact they were censoring speech to benefit one political party. >> most definitely because especially when you are in collusion with the government. so the first amendment protects speech, your speech, from your government. when a company, private or not, nonprofit or not, starts to collude and work with the government, well, thin free-speech violations. >> todd: fec, federal election commission violation, because this is basically a donation to

the democrats, is it not questioning >> absolutely, it could very much well be that. that is exactly right. and you can't even quantify that value. so, this was election interference, too, which is also a crime, in my opinion. so, there is a lot going on here. i think we are in the first or second inning really of uncovering this in the ball game. and i hope authorities at all levels look at this. >> carley: yeah, there is also at this from july 2018 former twitter ceo chuck dorsey said, "we don't shadow banned and we certainly don't shadow banned based on political viewpoints. we do rank by default to make twitter more immediately relevant, which can be flicked off." what is your reaction to that? >> well, he has served congress eight years and depending on the committee, we would literally swear in the witnesses.

sometimes we do and sometimes we don't. i believe this might be oversight and they swear that person." aside from the substance of the issues and what he was sagging, it is clearly, it looks clear to me he is lying under oath, which is a felony. >> todd: exactly, what happens then? what are the processes? and the republican-controlled congress for getting to the bottom of whether or not he lied and the consequences attached there, too. >> right. that is exactly right. and, you know, just to say this is also different tech company when you look at tiktok. we just filed two lawsuit yesterday on that for deceptive consumer sales practices. so, this is going on beyond just one company and one american company. tiktok is chinese and ramp at

the chinese communist party. this is going on around the world and focused on america. tiktoker specifically focused on america's kids. just dumping garbage into their heads to 12 and 10-year-olds, content you or i probably not appropriate to see. so, this is a real problem across big tech. and the people of this nation and the people of the rope got to get a hold of it. >> carley: attorney general lawsuit filed called the most serious action taken by a state against tiktok today. tiktok is responding and saying, "we build youth well-being into our policies, limit features by age, empower parents with tools and resources, and continue to invest in new ways to enjoy content based on age appropriateness or family comfort. we are also on a path for negotiations with the u.s. government to fully satisfy all reasonable u.s. national security concerns.

we have made significant strides to implementing those solutions." do you feel better now? >> absolutely not. starting with the last first, this is the biden administration when they say u.s. government. the biden administration through hunter biden and everything else cannot be trusted to negotiate anything with tiktok. tiktok is the biden administration's overseer, number one, so the states have to get involved. number two, it is a big, fat life. they are marketing to ten, 12-year-old sexual content, hard-core sexual content. you can learn how to be a stripper. you can learn how to do all kinds of hard-core acts by being a 12 or 13-year-old and getting a tiktok account. and then no matter what your age, they are stealing your data for the chinese communist party are stealing our consumer data. not only the national security risk but privacy breach as well. now, if they said we were doing all these things that would be one thing but in indiana the

superintendent, the school board, the share of some commonwealth attorney with public dissent in that meeting continue to go on to this day without any indictments. that is a real problem. >> todd: cheryl, who else needs to go and what else needs to happen? >> so, we cut the head off of the snake, which is great, but it really comes a year too late. last october, dozens of parents organized a rally and speaker after speaker walked up after the second assault and called for ziegler to resign or be fired. you know, it is sad it took the release of this attorney general report and the board to finally take action. they were all complacent and all received an email last may about sexual assault, you know, lots of people need to go, ashley ellis, all of the people and now cps who have treated parents like trash because we come and
