well will the latest batch of twitter files shedding light on the ban on president trump's twitter account as we learned there was a group of dissenters warning about the danger of censorship. steve these emails come as twitter banned trust and safety council moments before they were going to have a meeting. >> ainsley: kevin corke joins us from washington with more. kevin? >> good morning, steve, ainsley and will. say goodbye to twitter's trusted safety council. elon musk making the call after the fifth twitter files released detailed a fierce battle inside the company over whether or not to ban former president trump from the platform. interestingly the files also revealed there was a small group

of dissenters inside the company warning how censorship can destroy. here's a bit more on that from bari weiss on twitter, quote: as there were dissenters inside twitter, maybe because i'm from china, said one employee on january 7th, i deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation. after january 6th she goes on, twitter employees organized to demand their employer ban trump. there's a lot of employee advocacy happening, said one twitter employee. later she asks this: but the twitter staff of tweets quickly concluded that trump had not violated twitter's policies. i think we would have a hard time saying this is incitement, wrote one staffer. another staffer agreed. i don't see the incitement angle here. later weiss tweeted this: but twitter executives did ban trump, even though key staffers

said that trump had not incited violence, not even in a coded way. by the next day, employees expressed eagerness to tackle medical and misinformation as soon as possible. change in topic right there. elon musk now under pressure from hundreds of activist employees, twitter deplatforms trump you, a sitting u.s. president. even though they themselves acknowledge that he didn't violate the rules. another one of the many reasons, perhaps, he decided to buy the platform himself. meanwhile, vaccine researchers has also been reinstated on twitter, following a ban for so-called covid misinformation. one of several voices who ran afoul of the platform censors during the platform and in case you are wondering, more files to come and very likely more reinstatement as well. >> steve: read all about it on twitter just the way elon

wanted. >> ainsley: what about the blue check marks you are going to have to pay for them? >> yeah, have to pay for those. different types of check marks. a lot of people out there frankly, ainsley who feel like all right, i'm really to pony up for it if it makes it different and i'm scraferred that something has probably got some value attached to it. >> steve: that's right. we all have blue check marks but i have not used twitter in like four years, six years, something like that. >> ainsley: $8 a month? >> steve: i think 11. >> ainsley: i read 8 but 11. you pay a little bit more if you don't want all the ads on there. >> will: apple io use and $8 for regular android users. the question whether you pay blue checkmark less what it might offer you or if we can support the concept of free speech on social media. one platform willing to expose the censorship it h. in the past. don't think it's alone, youtube, google, facebook are also

operating under similar ideologies. here is my take away from president trump ban. it's clear you can read the two tweets from the day he was banned. fairly benign. see in the language from inside twitter they didn't amount to incitement. all the more shocking when you place it beside, for example, tweets from the supreme leader of iran or the president of myanmar. >> steve: talking about actual violence. >> will: actual violence in iran. >> ainsley: read it. i don't know repeat some of this. all right. ayatollah twitter didn't delete the tweet or ban him said israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the west region that has to be removed and eradicated. it's possible and it will happen. >> will: that remains. >> ainsley: that remains and malaysian prime minister, they deleted this tweet but he remains on the platform said it was a right for muslims to kill millions of french people.

>> steve: ultimately, what is being laid bear is the people at twitter got rid of donald trump because they hated his guts so much. they were going to figure a way to do it even though he didn't break the rules. now, what's interesting is, if you click around right now, you will find nobody else talking about this story because some people love the fact that there is pretty much a news blockout-blackout about the twitter news because when you start talking about the twitter story, then you have to start talking about the hunter biden story. and other uncomfortable things for other parts of mainstream media. they haven't covered the hunter biden stuff because they were all in bed together they didn't want that story out because it might damage joe biden in the run-up to the election. result mastly now, if you look in your major newspapers. nobody is writing about that either they too want to protect joe biden. if there is an indictment i belt

there will be soon hunter biden tax problems who knows what. they have to catch up. we didn't tell this story before because we thought it was russian disinformation. they have to come up with a good explanation and a good excuse, but right now they don't have one. they are just simply avoiding it. >> will: wait for the next chapter of the twitter files. there is a hint because elon musk one of his latest tweet was my pronouns are prosecute fauci. see where the next twitter frils headed but for now we are heading over to carley. >> carley: gruesome details to report here. we are learning investigators bagged the hands of the four slain idaho students in an effort to possibly preserve possible evidence before moving their bodies from the crime scene. this new information comes as kaylee goncalves father she said

there were big open gouges. she said it was quick. they were not going to slowly bleed out. father calling out authorities for keeping information from the public saying they are just being cowards. there are girls walking around the streets right now that deserve to know. they should be looking for a sadistic male. so the crisis at the southern border, agents reporting more than 16,000 encounters with illegal immigrants just this weekend fox news cameras caught this footage of more than 1,000 in el paso, just el paso alone on sunday. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas plans to visit the el paso sector later today. is he going to meet with border patrol officials as several lawmakers call the surge at the border a catastrophe. the biden administration meeting with paul whelan's family to discuss their effort to secure the former marine's release from a russian prison. they asked next steps of the strategy to bring him home ahead of a high planned -- planned

american federation of teachers seems to think that joe biden is -- has been the best -- can i get. >> steve: he is epic. the best. >> will: comparable to fdr. >> steve: put him on mount rushmore. >> will: when it comes to education that's who she compares to joe biden. watch. >> i want to say for a second what you and what the president has done, i mean, i can't even remember all the mnemonics of all the things that have been done. i'm a history teacher. it is more than any other president since fdr and maybe more than fdr. >> steve: of course, jill biden is sitting right there. as an educator you would think she would know which verb to use you -- what the -- what you and the president has done. randi it should probably be have done if you get a do-over. nonetheless, look, ra randi weingarten loves the biden admthe bidens.one of the truthse

learned, particularly during covid. randi weingarten and the teachers unions have done whatever they could do to help joe biden as well. remember, when joe biden was pushing onerous lockdowns on america and continued them even though much of the country was opening up, the schools stayed close. and now, of course, in her revisionist history, she talks about how she did the teachers unions and the teachers did more than anybody to open up the schools. that simply is not true. here are some of the things we know for sure that they have done. >> ainsley: they pushed back against schools reopening after covid. they pushed the mask mandates on our school districts. they promoted a progressive agenda that included the tenets of critical race theory. and she not only loves bidens. the bidens love her. they have given $18 million to their campaign in 2022 alone.

that's a lot of money. >> steve: how much did the teachers union give to republicans? >> ainsley: it was a small little portion. >> steve: over $25? >> will: in that video where you just saw randi weingarten talking to jill biden you could see behind her it said in festive writing thank you, educators. maybe that's the point when she compares the biden administration to fdr. the beneficiary of joe biden's policies were educators, not the concept of education and certainly not children because here is what has happened. while joe biden reflected the policies advocated by the american federation of teachers. grade schools grade 4 math down 5 points. reading down 3 points. jump up to grade 8 math down 8 points, reading down 3 points. it's clear that over the last several years the biden administration did whatever was asked, including craft covid policies by the american federation of teachers.

that, i guess, should be no surprise. >> steve: they helped write it. >> will: i guess it's no surprise she walks out today and says best since fdr. >> steve: joe biden himself as the ultimate union president. there has been no more union friendly president ever, he has said, things to that effect, than joe biden, which, you know, of course these are teachers unions and so it's a union thing. but isn't it ironic that the most prounion president in history, it was just last week where he essentially told -- about to be striking freight rail people, take that bad deal. you want days off? too bad. just take this or leave it. >> ainsley: what about oil and coal? will as well, no more drilling. is he telling those unions that as well. and then they -- when you look at those scores, they are talking about crt and we all have our own opinions about that. you talk to most parents.

>> steve: it's not happening in the schools she says. >> ainsley: she says it's not happening in the schools. look at these grades. just focus on the important subjects, reading and math. these -- and writing. this is what our kids need to be -- look at that the points are just -- that's dramatic. that's after covid, after lockdown. >> steve: this is one of the reaches why homeschooling is absolutely taking off. >> ainsley: and private schools. >> steve: if people can do it, they like to see their kids excel. a lot of private schools are teaching woke ideologies and a lot of parents don't like that and who can blame them? >> ainsley: all right, coming up, an american student missing while studying abroad in france. his family shares his last money moments and movements and we have their message next. ♪kennely deland jr. was

what's app. we were texting back and forth, as we usually do. just seeing how each other were doing. he asked me how i'm doing and i asked him, you know, what's new? how have you been? that was on the 27th. >> steve: everything seemed normal, right? >> it sounded that way from the text that he was sending at that time, yes. >> steve: yeah, absolutely. and then shortly thereafter, he apparently went missing. when, jennifer, was the next time you were able to trace where he presumably went, headed? >> that was on the 30th of november. they traced his phone had pinged, so must have been on for a little while and they traced him with a train station. >> steve: so, you know, if the authorities are pinging the phone and tracking down, obviously, they are looking for

him. what sort of assistance are you receiving from the french police? >> i mean, i was on the phone this morning before this interview and i talked to a gentleman that i have been talking with at the embassy. and i was just making him aware, you know, do you know that there is the website and he brought it up and i was just trying to talk to him about the updates that are being added to the website and if he could please tell his staff. and his comments to me were he was surprised how it's become so widespread and it's gotten it way and infiltrated the french media. and he said that's exactly what you want in order to gain some leverage, northbound to bring kenny home and find kenny. >> that's what we have been

hoping for. >> >> you asked me about the police. i don't have a whole lot of feedback from the police. the privacy act prevents them from giving any information. >> steve: that's got to be a struggle because you are so far away. you would go over there but you don't know where to look is the problem. ken, there is a story in the "new york post" today that says that your son was struggling to make friends and felt insufficiently prepared for life in europe. did you get that feeling in talking to him? >> so in conversations he would say, you know, dad, i wish i knew french a little better. but i think anybody going into a foreign country with. esque studying french since he was in high school. so anybody that's going to feel that same pressure that he does going into a foreign country

that speaks a different language. is that out of the ordinary? i don't feel it is. anybody would struggle with that. >> steve: absolutely. exit question, ken. >> sure. >> steve: what does your gut tell you? where is he? >> it's hard to say because it's uncharacteristic for him not to reach out to us, in my gut says he is safe but i just can't get my head wrapped around why he hasn't reached out. and that's what puts the fear factor really in your gut as to the whereabouts and safety of your child i can only say that i appreciate everybody reaching out to us froy to move this story into the heart of the french people. i feel like we have a lot of support coming from this end.

i just want to feel confident that the support is coming from the french end as well. and it feels like it is, and we are getting the word out there, and that's our intent to bring kenny home safely. >> steve: that's right. you mentioned the website. if anybody halls any information, go to find kennedy land.com. ken and jennifer, we know you are going through so much. thank you very much for joining us to try to get the word out so that somebody finds your son. >> thank you. excellent show by the way. >> steve: well, thank you very much. we have excellent guests and you know, we know this is hard for you to do, but we really appreciate you today stopping by to tell kenny's story. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> steve: good luck. all right. coming up, a triple item mic has health officials worried about rising hospitalizations with some major cities even pushing the return of masks. dr. marty makary gives us his wellness tips coming up next onr

inevitable, if you are high risk or around others as a courtesy high quality mask can help. the problem is with no credibility ignoring. european experience, exaggerated long covid as i write about today in today's "wall street journal." there's not much credibility left when we want to ask somebody to do something. so. >> will: to your point the masks are helpful from those already sick from infecting others. they were always meant to stop, you know, water droplets, saliva droplets. this airborne idea keep from you receiving it was always weak. now everybody distrusting this advice. why? it's not just antidotally, statistically we see all these cases on the rise. what's going on? is this a product much everybody locked down and hermetically sealed for two years? >> in part. it's something called immune sheltering, when your body is not exposed to a low level of

viruses out there in the community, then you have got increased susceptibility. these viruses have been hiding out. and we are getting hit hard. this is essentially unintended consequence to the lockdowns and people being investorred. >> will: to your point on people distrusting cdc, that might explode in the coming days, dr. makary or be backed up, that skepticism towards public health authorities because twitter files 5 said in there that once they were done with trump, twitter employees were, quote, ready to tackle medical misinformation. that's from a treat from bari weiss in twitter files 5. they are ready and willing to jump to medical misinformation and by the way elon musk has tweeted his pronounce are "prosecute/fauci" which suggests how much censorship went on when it came to shaping our public discourse when it came to covid. >> that's right.

some of this information that's coming out in the twitter files is suggesting that there may be more about the government's relationship with censoring different medical experts who have tried to defend and advocate for children and try to talk about schools being open. dr. jay bhattacharya was front and center. i know him. he is a good friend of mine. we have co-authored things. jay bhattacharya doesn't have his feelings hurt. he doesn't feel a sense of vengeance or victory with the files coming out. is he sad for the millions of children that had to sustain school closures and get shut out of their livelihoods and covered with masks for nearly two years when he advocated for them. >> will: stanford science jay bat chair i can't turned down by twitter. before before we go will you be surprised if we don't find out that your account was turned down, dr. makary? >> i have always tried to cite data and studies there have been
