7:00 pm
thank you for being with us in making that show possible. please set your dvrs you never miss an episode of "hannity." any time, the time. hannity.com. in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. "the ingraham angle," laura ingraham are up next. hope you have a great night. ♪ ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham from washington tonight. when elon musk purchased a twitter for a cool $44 billion, you could hear leftist heads exploding all over the country. when he started on revealing the twitter files which espouses how twitter's leaders censored conservative speech, that really set them off. we learned not just how it started but who is involved and how politics colored every decision and who is blacklisted by the tech giant.
7:01 pm
we will explain it all in this special edition of "the ingraham angle," the twitter files. a few years back, conservative started noticing that their tweets weren't getting the traction they once did. now the common parlance became known as shadow banding. the amplify the reach of certain voices. this was so concerning that former ceo jack dorsey was brought before congress to ask questions about it. >> are you censoring people? people? >> no. >> twitter shadow banding prominent republicans. is that true? >> no. >> he was doing in a minute fasting. jack dorsey better be lawyering up. it sure looked like he lied under oath. playing kind of a game of semantics there. a little over two hours ago, former "new york times" columnist and free-speech champion began dropping more of those internal twitter files that show just how dedicated the
7:02 pm
company was for suppressing dissenting voices. for years this was going on. the liberals of last century, they used to relish at all these stories of how blacklisted pro-communist sympathizers, look who's doing the blacklisting n now. tonight we learn that, well, the bee eat, otherwise known as before elon, they would disfavor tweets from trending and limit the of his ability of entire accounts or trending topics, all in secret without informing users. to their busy -- they cave it an innocuous outfit. they called it "the strategic response team," the global escalation team. he concluded, check this out, the head of legal policy and, ironically, trust, the jaya
7:03 pm
gaddy. the global had in trust and safety you'll 's and subsequent ceosjack dorso writing onthe blog in 2018, inst "we do not shadow banned and we certainly don't shadow banned based on political viewpoints or ideology. and over time this twitter exec became more indignant. >> one of the bigger problems with censorship is the fact that you push people underground and you don't know what's going on. this is something that i worry about. >> laura: come on! we kept that woman up at night, the possibility that conservative voices would somehow slip to the corporate sensors. the first name mentioned on this twitter blacklist release tonight was someone "the angle" first introduced to the national
7:04 pm
audience during covid. stanford's dr. jay bhattacharya. came to be known as something as the "great barrington declaration" with contended with mountains of evis not costhink about it, people have delayed cancer treatment, they delayed going to the doctor because even with severe heart disease, parents have not vaccinated their children, the lockdown costs, even in the short and medium-term, have larger and longer health consequences. >> laura: twitter deemed his research so dangerous that it secretly placed him on a trends blacklist which prevented his tweets from trending. will joined us exclusively in
7:05 pm
just a few moments. remember, we just learned a few weeks back that this was all occurring at the same time dr. anthony fauci's daughter worked as an engineer at twitter. other names listed by weiss include charlie kirk and dan bongino. since "angle" was the first national platform to slam the lockdown's, i suspect my own name will pop up on some suppression list eventually. i hope so. during the spring of 2020 i might have noticed and i believe i set it on "the angle" that the reach of my own tweets seem to be oddly declining. but frankly i think it was obvious to all of us and one of the major questions lingering tonight is whether there was any contact between public health officials and twitter execs that encouraged censorship, of course, for public safety. of course, when any of us question big tex motives and practices during that time, we
7:06 pm
were all treated like paranoid conspiracy theorists. >> you'd hear all these congressional republicans saying, why am i being shadow banned we realize that was a canard. >> shadow banding commode where there's no real proof of. >> laura: "no real proof of." what held up is legitimate public debate and scientific discourse and there's plenty of evidence and it was worse, by the way, than mere suppression. toward the end of weiss' thread tonight it becomes clear that some within twitter leadership develop something like a god complex. in early 2021, the "global head of trust" and safety unwittingly fingered dorsey for approving of the censorship. and even used the word of what integrity" to describe what they were doing. we got jack on board with him lamenting this for a civic integrity in the near term but
7:07 pm
we are going to make a more robust case to get him in a repertoire of policy recommendations especially for other policy domains. what does that mean? twitter's mission originally was to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers. but we see now without a doubt that all of that was just a marketing campaign. because barriers were an integral part of their strategy to control and dominate the public square. now imagine if elon musk has never bought twitter, would never know anything about any of this. it costs $44 billion. but now we just see how corrupt, how cutthroat, and how devious big tech is. and that's the angle. joining me now is the aforementioned dr. jay
7:08 pm
bhattacharya, stanford university professor of med medicine. dr. bhattacharya, your reaction tonight... this is a blockbuster after learning you were secretly placed on this trends blacklist. >> yeah. it feels like some novel from the 1950s where the house of an american committee is meeting to decide who to suppress and i'm some sort of movie star in hollywood that they are blacklisting because i'm a communist or something. it's ridiculous. it really hurt public health. if we had an open discussion, laura, the schools would not have close in the fall of 2020. if we had an open discussion, the lockdowns would've been lifted much earlier because data and evidence behind them was so bad. twitter, by suppressing scientific discussion, armed science, harm children, harm the american public, and i wonder how i end up on -- i joined twitter 2021, september 2021.
7:09 pm
who told twitter to put me on a blacklist question but i really want to know. >> laura: at this point i think it's incumbent upon congress, dr. bhattacharya, including kevin mccarthy if he becomes the next speaker, to drop all the formality here, bring these people to congress, and find out what really happened. that means, all between, whether it's anthony fauci or someone at nih, someone who touched on this issue has to be brought to the public light, in my view. it's like... have you now or ever been a member of the great barrington declaration? doesn't it feel like that? and you are such a nice guy, . >> i appreciate that. i think from a public policy point of view, if you look at what the government did, i suspect very strongly there was some government direction of this but i've been involved with this lawsuit that had been
7:10 pm
brought by the missouri and louisiana attorney general's offices against the biden administration and we uncovered tremendous evidence that there were federal agencies that were directing social media companies that what to censor, even who to censor. that is actually the case that this blacklisting was directed by the government against american citizens, that's a direct violation of my civil rights. it's a violation of first amendment. every american should be outraged. >> laura: the twitter gatekeepers, dr. odesa one, are everywhere. a short while a ago, melissa ryan downplayed all that we learn tonight. tonight's edition of the twitter files, we learned that despite getting access to all of twitter's info, bari weiss didn't bother to read any of twitter's policies posted on her website. both she and musk should be
7:11 pm
embarrassed by this. embarrassed question mike my question is where is anthony fauci tonight? why is he not speaking about prominent positions having their voices suppressed? >> i think a lot of the leadership of silicon valley, a lot of the people who give advice to silicon valley and the government about these content moderation policies, they go way too far. it's one thing to suppress violent threats against people. that's appropriate. turn turn around and decide they are going to suppress basic scientific policy qu we needed to have a discussion that's an open scientific discussion. all the people who wouldn't have missed their cancer screenings, the kids that wouldn't have to
7:12 pm
be depressed and suicidal, all the learning loss that could've been avoided if we just had an open scientific discussion. it wasn't science that happened. when you follow the signs, it wasn't science. it was something else entirely. censorship that led to the tremendous sleep at policies we've had over 326 and the failure we've seen the last three years >> laura: i'm going to take it further. the shadow banding could've actually... well, did, a few steps removed, it led to death! i think kids, because of these lockdowns, the mental health evidence that is piling up now all across the country. suicide, depression, anxiety, self-harm. everything we are seeing that came out of those lockdowns, we couldn't talk about it without getting suppressed but you are called a conspiracy theorist and so was i. >> it's basically a propaganda operation.
7:13 pm
what do you do? you have a thing like the internet where you can't really stop the information from spreading. what you do is you shadow -- don't even think about their ideas. it's this kind of sly way to get your way without actually arguing over facts. it's insane. i think instead of -- it's also telling, laura. instead of arguing over facts, they use these techniques because they knew their arguments were not strong enough to survive the light of day. i mean... i really don't know how to process it. i grew up in the u.s. i was born in india, grew up in the u.s. since i was four, i always thought about the united states as a free country. but it really hasn't felt that way these last few years. we are starting to see what the parameters of that hour. i think we really need to have a national conversation that brings us back to the american commitment to free speech rights, the american commitment
7:14 pm
to open discussion, and sort of honest dealings. i think silicon valley, the twitter crowd... i think they behaved very badly. but i wonder, laura, if this actually is at the direction of the american government and we havhave an even broader discussn to talk about. >> laura: we are just scratching the surface and these tactics that twitter employed premusk are being used on a whole series of medical issues but we talk about it on "the angle." sex change operations... there is an entire effort to suppress speech and honest discourse and doctors are afraid to speak out. gave an enormous amount of information to us over the two and a half years, eternally grateful to you. i know you weren't planning on doing tv tonight so we really appreciate it. thank you for joining me now is newt gingrich, former house
7:15 pm
speaker and fox news contributor. newt them up my question to you is why we can't learn about everyone shadow banned. minutes ago, elon musk is tweeting up a while twitter is working on a software update that'll show your true account status so you know clearly if you've been shadow banned. the reason why you wear, and how to appeal it. should any of this exist? any induration at this point? >> i think all of it got to come out in the open. it's amazing. here is a first generation immigrant to america who is doing more to uphold american values, the first amendment, you're right of free speech, then anyone we've ever seen. people deserve to know what was going on in the challenge comes
7:16 pm
to facebook. so these systems are so gigantic gigantic, they are so powerful, so much in everyone's lives that they have to be transparent. doing something dramatic to look at their capacity. >> laura: isn't this now beyond obvious that congress does have to step in here? republicans always want to take a hands-off approach to big business but we have seen and you and i talk about this that time and again big business, not the '80s anymore, has become damage cleo opposed to the american tradition of free speech, second amendment, parental rights. et cetera, et cetera. the wokeness, dis- information campaigns, it's all of it. >> what you are seeing is what originally fasteners him was all
7:17 pm
about which is the idea that big government gets together with big business to control small business and against individual. we will find out, we begin to find out is the fbi was deeply involved in all of this. we will find out that the centers for disease control, that dr. fauci who, remember, is a public official. he's not just a celebrity. he is a government official with certain obligations and certain responsibilities and i think we are going to find out all these people were violating the first amendment, behaving illegally, and that this is a much deeper mess than we realize. >> laura: i want to play this moment from this ex-twitter safety chief, yoel roth, defending the twitter protocols. >> we have a system of governance. it was rules-based, we enforce them as it was written, changed it in writing, data transparently. when that system of governments went away, you do not need ahead
7:18 pm
of trust and safety. >> laura: for twitter leadership to claim that they were "transparent," i mean... it's just offensive. >> law iraq, i don't quite know for reasonable people how you get across the idea... these people are just liars. it's not complicated, they are liars. they lie all the time, they have total contempt for the rest of us, they think they can break the rules and get away with it. they think they are somehow this elite that's above us and that we are too stupid to know what they are doing and i think all too often and this is the case i think kevin mccarthy is showing the right leadership with people like adam schiff who was chairman of the house intelligence committee who just routinely lied to the american people. totally misinformed them. there ought to be a consequence and we ought to start with simple old-fashioned language. these people are liars, they ought to be ostracized, they
7:19 pm
ought to be kicked out of polite society, if there is such a thing anymore, but we shouldn't kid ourselves. i don't need any complex explanation here at >> laura: it wasn't just jay bhattacharya it was targeted by twitter's sensors. coming up i talk with charlie kirk who was one of the biggest conservative accounts blacklisted by twitter for details on how all went down next.
7:23 pm
daniel was a helicopter electrician. he was very proud to be a helicopter electrician because his uncle was a helicopter mechanic in the marine corps. on september 25th of 2006, dan was severely injured while at camp taji in iraq. it was while he was at walter reed that wounded warrior project walked into my room. they thanked dan for his service and then they assured him that i was not alone and i look back at that and i think, no one could have asked for a better advocate because not everybody got to do what we did. for example, go to a private hospital that was number two in the nation for traumatic brain injury, to transition home and be able to wait for a new home. when you have time to reflect, you realize all along the journey, all along the journey, they were there. (light music)
7:24 pm
>> laura: back in 2019, axios called my next guest charlie kirk one of the biggest conservative megaphones on twitter. in doing so, they unwittingly put a target on his back. in the lead up to the 2020 election, he noticed a massive drop in engagement and he felt like he was being targeted, even censored. turns out he was right. included in the second drop of porta files was evidence that charlie was one of the main accounts blacklisted on twitter labeled by the twitter sensors and leaderships as "do not amplify." charlie kirk a turning point usa joins me now. have you tried to get in touch with the new twitter team to get more details about what happened and how this all went down. >> i've attempted through public discourse with elon and first i want to say that i'm very happy he's releasing this information.
7:25 pm
in some ways i feel vindicated because i've been talking about this for a couple of years endlessly and people say, sure, you are censored. actually, twitter singled out our account and gave a threat tag of "do not amplify." i'd love to meet with elon or anyone on the twitter team to find out what extent when this was done and when it was done for what reason. laura, what i'm really curious about is where they told to do this by the fbi, by the doj, by the cdc? you see, laura, back in the spring of 2020 when you are doing wonderful coverage of the dangers of lockdowns and potential other treatments, i was tweeting a lot of segments from your show. i was weeding out things i heard from your show from dr. atlas and the threat of lockdowns and i could only imagine what i was doing on twitter was a direct threat to the kind of "one-size-fits-all" consensus that the cdc, pfizer, astrazeneca and they wanted to
7:26 pm
on social media. went down from 100,000 retweets per day to 800 retweets per day suffocating our entire twitter account in the highly consequential year of 2020. it remains a mystery, i assume and speculate, i think that there were more powerful actors behind this that gave twitter or push twitter and said, "silence that charlie kirk guy." >> to that point, elin mosk confirmed that some political candidates in the u.s. and elsewhere where themselves subject to shadow banding while they were running for office but we don't have details which candidates they wear, we can make a guess here, pretty informed gas, of which side of the aisle they were on. correct? >> yes. we know that twitter acted as a democrat super pac. what we are doing here and we reiterate the context is an unprecedented 21st century technological interference operation. happening without even realizing the extent of it. and i think a lot of your
7:27 pm
viewers right now on "the angle" feel like i'm losing my country and i know we are in the majority but why do we feel we are not able to get our opinions and views out push my thanks to elon's courage and bravery we know the mediums which we have to express our opinions, it's not a fair playing field. it's direct interference. this are public and congress coming in january, if they are not willing to look into this and demand subpoenas and testimony and criminal referrals, they'll be worthless from the beginning. they need to go out of this. this is a great an appearance operation of a generation that in my personal opinion is only further delegitimizing the integrity of the 2020 election we talk about the hunter biden story, covid, all the heterodox opinions not able to be shared. >> laura: i think the phrase "shadow banning," i don't think we should use it. this is pure censorship.
7:28 pm
>> yes. >> laura: shadow banning sounds it's not so great but is it really that bad? we get caught up in the left wing traps of their semantic massaging. the verbal massaging of what they are doing but whether it's to our kids, in this case to free speech. may be to gun rights, gun safety. it's not anti-second amendment legislation. this is censorship. >> yes. >> laura: they targeted you. i assumed "the angle" was targeted. and prominent doctors, we had bhattacharya, jay bhattacharya l, peter mccullough emma two of the most renowned thinkers on these issues be cardiologist, mccullough epidemiologist, one of the most published cardiologists in the united states but if they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone for they did it to you and lord knows who was really directing this or suggesting it strongly from the biden or trump administration.
7:29 pm
>> what's common darkness will come to light. this will never happen again. they had resurrection of the public square. these people in charge in the biden and administration otherwise and you what they were doing was unethical and wrong, they temporarily benefited from it but we have to make sure people are generally held response will for the unethical and probably criminal nature of the suppression and censorship in a million voices. >> laura: great to see you. thank you. there was the twitter effort to suppress the hunter biden laptop story and with that saga, we found a familiar character who's also involved with russia gate. we explain it next.
7:34 pm
7:35 pm
that's nearly 2900. leaves thousands of holiday travelers stranded at airports nationwide. it's unlikely they'll be able to rebook until friday. southwest ceo says the storm has created what he calls "disruptions across our network." the department of transportation call it unacceptable. tensions following a violation of south korea's airspace by several north korean drones. the saltz fighter jets were unable to shoot down any of the unmanned drones. this comes as a pyongyang a number record of cruising missile ballistics tests, more than 90 approaching the end of 2022. i'm jack ibanez. back to "the ingraham angle" special. >> we see this as an inter interesting, twitter lee haphazardly push this distraction. that is full of old news. it won't do anything to help a single american improve their lives. and so, look, we see it as an
7:36 pm
interesting, you know, coincidence, and it's a distraction. >> laura: she is getting better at reading. that is their best defense? it makes sense that they are rushing to brushes all under the rug after we learned one familiar name was involved that was submerged in musk's big reveal. james baker but not the former secretary of state. this baker. you may remember he was at the heart of the russia collusion hoax while he was general counsel for the fbi. it was there in 2016 where he linked up democrat hit man michael sussman with top fbi investigators. then, stay with me, in june of 2020 in the middle of that contentious presidential election, twitter conveniently announced that he was coming on board as deputy general counsel! when the scheme to suppress "the new york post" reported about hunter's laptop came to baker's desk, he claimed it was
7:37 pm
reasonable for twitter to assume the materials were hacked. of course, it was his former intel buddies that laundered that little narrative. it's important to remember that at no point did the post claim to have obtained hacked materials. joining me now is miranda devine, "new york post" columnist, fox news contributor, author of "laptop from hell." and mike davis, president of the internet con bill lee project. a lot of people watching might remember this baker character, but why is he important? come on. this is just a coincidence, right? he goes to twitter's employment of top executive? >> james baker was a good friend and ally of, of course, james comey. it was baker as a top lawyer at the fbi who wrote the memo that preexonerated, really, hillary clinton. he was all behind the russia
7:38 pm
collusion hoaxes to try to get rid of donald trump. and in the end of 2018, christopher wray basically threw him out of that general counsel role and he shortly afterwards resigned. he showed up at twitter, strangely enough, just five months before the 2020 election. he was of course right in the center of the decision to censor "the new york post." you might be surprised to know he was on the side of cens censorship, to on the side of caution. >> laura: they also turned out mike, the fbi warned twitter during these weekly meetings for the 2020 election to expect hacked and leak operations by state actors involving hunter and likely in october but according to that sworn declaration by twitter's former
7:39 pm
site and had integrity, how's that important? >> it's amazing we have these big tech platforms colluding with the fbi, with the government to censor, silence, deplatform conservatives and others with whom they disagree including the oldest newspaper in america, "the new york post" and it was this gym baker who just happens to be the forrest gump of all these platforms. the guy behind the russia collusion hoax. he shows up at twitter and he's the guy pushing the censorship of "the new york post." >> laura: by the way, miranda, he calls himself as "former republican," this guy matt dowd. he's saying this is all a good thing that twitter did this. watch this. >> what amazes me is elon musk might want to spend a little bit more time reading the first amended and what it said because it's immediate thing is that it's a violation of the first amendment when it's as far as i can tell no government authority told twitter not to do something. what's amazing to me is that all
7:40 pm
of these fox news, whoever else, jumped on this without ever fully understanding that it was basically meaningless what happened and actually turned out to be a good thing. >> laura: miranda? >> maybe he doesn't understand that if the fbi goes to twitter and instructs them or persuades them to prebunk, precensor it, that's a violation of the first amendment. i do agree in one sense that elon musk did not release anything that was really useful when it comes to the fbi's intervention. and i wonder if that is because james baker is still there and i assume that elon musk had to get his release of various documents cleared by twitter's lawyers. before they went to matt taibbi.
7:41 pm
maybe twitter's lawyers only allowed one little email from james baker that had all the identifying the dates, the time all shorn from it which was very interesting. the other thing about james baker we need to remember is he also between the fbi and twitter went to work for the l'affaire blog, which is attached to the brookings institution. a number of the 51 former intel operatives who signed that dirty letter, that dishonest letter saying that our story and hunter biden's laptop was a russian disinformation operation. he's connected to them as well. jonathan turley called him the kevin bacon of russian collusion. >> laura: [scoffs] 6 degrees of separation from james baker question make they need the raw data to come out. but they are doing it by saying that trump is the guy who is anti-constitution and one of the
7:42 pm
msnbc host this morning had a message for republicans. watch. >> here's the thing for republicans. let's spell out for you. why don't you write this down, okay. to terminate the constitution is to terminate america. donald trump is wrong and i can no longer support him. at all. as a presidential candidate, as an american citizen. >> laura: that was a tame mist of what she said. but what about that? trump comes out and says, sound like he was doing it in jest. they couldn't stall me or have a new election. was that subverting the constitution? >> i'm not even following what her argument is. when we have the fbi working with big tech to censor americans, that's about as against the constitution as you can get and it's a clear worst amendment violation. the understanding where she's going. >> laura: i find it rich when the democrats go, we care about the constitution for they want
7:43 pm
to invent rights that don't exist, eviscerate the second amendment, the first amendment as mike says means nothing unless their view is the ones that are always preeminent. suddenly you are against the constitution. you think all the guys and who wrote in his racist? >> what democrats are best at is projecting, they accuse you the crimes they commit themselves. if you want to know what demonstrate structure is, look at what they are accusing you of what you are doing. >> laura: great to see you both. all this disturbing information we are learning about these twitter files, it's important to remember how it all began. with the present sun hunter biden, of course. the background details of the entire situation are next. stay there.
7:48 pm
>> laura: it's important to remember how this all began. in april of 2019, hunter biden dropped off three water damaged laptops at a delaware computer shop for repair. after 90 days come hunter had still not returned it to pick them up. it was then that the owner of that store, jean-paul macisaac, started searching key terms like "burisma" after hearing them during trump's first impeachment trouble. finding numerous hits come up
7:49 pm
in 2019 atthe i came to his home was keeping the laptops and they reportedly made a forensic copies but left the devices behind. only return for them for months later. now in 2020, isaac stop hearing from the fbi so he reached out to congressional members who likewise ignored the findings. they remained under wraps before he contacted a lawyer of rudy giuliani. in october of 2020, details of the hard drive were published by "the new york post." due to the chain of custody of the laptop, the deep state saw a way to spin it. >> more than 50 former senior intelligence officials said a disputed set of emails, they had all the classic air marks of disinformation operation. >> has been focused on hunter biden, his laptop that
7:50 pm
intelligence officials have warned is likely russian disinformation. >> to say there is no evidence, this hard cry as part of a russian disinformation campaign, doesn't make any sense to me. >> despite zero evidence of this, social media companies, twitter chief among them, moved to stifle this story. they even suspended "the new york post" twitter account, do you remember that? the message had gone out. this story was not to see the light of day and elements that did must be labeled "russian disinformation." tonight we finally learn the details of how the coordination effort unfolded. it came at a very interesting manner. elon musk gave former rolling stone writer matt taibbi currently of substack the rains in taking folks through all of this. wrote, "twitter in its conception was brilliant tool of
7:51 pm
enabling mask medication giving people the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers. in early conception, twitter more than lived up to its mission. as time progressed, the company was slowly forced to add those barriers. some of the first tools were controlling speech were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters." how this manifest itself? taibbi, through must, rights, this is a bombshell. request connected actors to delete tweets were routine. one exec would write to another, more to review from the biden team. the reply would come back "handled." joining me now is mollie hemingway, fox news and jupiter and editor in chief at the federalist. mike davis of the internet accountability project. he also clerked for supreme port justice neil gorsuch bridge charlie kirk, founder of turning point usa.
7:52 pm
we've been waiting for this information. we are going to learn more and more as time goes on. but what do you make of the evolution from twitter in its early days to twitter in the election cycle of 2020. especially in the fall with a laptop story having been revealed? >> this social media company changed so much about how we can communicate. started out with a platform for free speech, free thought, free debate. what happened in the 2016 election is former president donald trump, then candidate, able to bypass the propaganda and hostility of corporate media by using social media to speak directly to the american people. it worked and he won and election. when that happens, social media companies said they would never let it happen again. they began widespread campaigns of the platforming, algorithmic gameplaying and meddling in all of our elections on behalf of their favorite democrat candidates.
7:53 pm
this really did come of the perfect example is the story. we are learning so much about what twitter did to suppress free speech and debate about the biden business and possible corruption that was in this biden laptop story and learning details, they are learning who was involved in how much democrats were involved in suppressing this news that americans had every right to know before election day that was kept to them by these bad actors. >> laura: i'm going to go to you. if you read what matt taibbi is releasing with his substack, point number nine is that celebrities and unknowns ally could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party! both parties had access to this tool. request from both the trump white house and the biden campaign were received and honored but the system wasn't balanced because twitter itself,
7:54 pm
taibbi goes on to say, was overwhelmingly one political orientation. there were more channels to complain about what conservatives were doing, what trump supporters were doing, then the other way around. your reaction tonight. >> these big tech platforms are too big, too powerful. when you have these political actors including government actors who can reach out to these big tech platforms and say something is misinformation or disinformation and then get the information censored and people the platform, we have serious problems. >> laura: final thoughts when we return.
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
speech has been impacted if we do not have a vigorous approach in protecting the first amendment and we will be there every step of the way to hold those in power accountable. that is it for us tonight but i hope you enjoyed watching the special edition of "the ingraham angle." it is america now and forever, and greg gutfeld and the gang can take it all from here. ♪ ♪ >> greg: mary day after christmas, everyone. we hit the road for a few shows in the republic of florida. i don't member them but i was told they were delightful but let's look at some highlights from that week, handpicked by my staff. if they aren't any good, i'll just fire them all later. >> it's great to be back in the
