charlie kirk a turning point usa joins me now.e 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. 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 a

charlie kirk, great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: the founder and editor of compact, he says the problem is deeper, no corporation should have this much power over our freedom to speak. thanks so much for coming on tonight. 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 have seen, we suspected it, of course, all along but now we have confirmation that shadow banning was happening, great danger in this isn't that our freedom of speech is expressed, although that's horrible and these platforms is where freedom of speech lives or dies, but that the process that allows elite opinion formation is a sealed off bubble. right? we hear, for example, that vladimir putin doesn't hear alternative views about his war strategy in ukraine and that's why he makes bad decisions. the same thing happens through a state directed mechanism in the united states and across the west. it happens through privatize censorship through ent

thee asked this twitter set the account of conservative activist charlie kirk to do not amplify. now, weiss' reporting suggests there is a small secret trove of twitter officials who are involved in making these politically sensitive decisions. as you see there ghani, roth, dorsey and ago gras they refer o it as disability filtering or df. twitter will offer a solution to users being shadow banned and will free up space of billions of unused accounts. specifically says the company will now be working on a software that will ultimately be a software update that will show you your true account status. it will also clearly let you know if you have been shadow banned. it will show you why and how you can appeal that ban. and a reminder, substack journalist what the taibbi latest installment of the twitter files. this is material given to these reporters by elon musk. they sort of unpack them. we learn more and i expect that will happen again if not today very soon, guys. >> steve: you are right. >> brian: unbelievable. we will see what else gets dropped any minute at any time. three

charlie kirk, founder of turning point usa, joins me now. charlie, have yoveu tried to get in touch with the new twitter team to get more details about a what happened and how this all went down of attempted through public discourse? i've attemptec discourse with elon and first i want to sa with elon? and first, i just want to sayy a i'm very happy that hesing t is releasinghi this informationd in some ways i feel vindicated because i've been talking about thisthis for a couple of years endlessly. and people say, oh, yeah, okay,e sure, you're censorensd? twitte nor , actually , twitter single out our account and gavet a threat tag of do not amplify.t and so i would love to meet with elon or anybody on the twitter team and find out to what extent this was was done, when it was done and forrt what reason. but, laura , what i'm reallyabou curious about is , werey they told to do this by the fbi, by the doj, by the cdc,e you see, laura , back in20 whe the spring of 2020 when you were doing wonderful coverage about the danger of lockdowns and pote

charlie kirk visited the campus. riot police had to be deployed. watch. >> antifa, who are you? you are a reporter. >> what do you think about the cops? >> you know what i say [beep] them. especially the cops: >> get off of me! [beep] [beep] >> oh threat is proud boys and u non. charlie, thanks for joining us. clearly organized. who were these people, do you know? >> good question wonder if they were paid and spending evenings to protest me. talking about the u.s. constitution and freedom of speech. interesting when you show up on a college campus doing an opposite event. radical left acting like the same extremist entire federal government organized to go after. that is on the american right. look at the footage. is that the proud boys? conservatives? no those people are on the left. this is the third time this semester we have done an event. other two cancelled or ended abruptly. i went there on a personal mission. only way we lose is if he don't show up. i went there last evening to send a message, we are standing for free speech. you are not going to pully our students with

the following week, this week, charlie kirk, who is a major right-wing online presence went after me, just made things up completely made things up about me and how i am a threat to people's children. it is almost like it is designed to trigger death threats and we have now had two death threats that i am aware of since the charlie kirk treats. i tweeted about one of those death threats. of course, the maga people went into conspiracy the remote and said i was making it up. these are like the q1 on kind of people. it is like this whole cycle and it is very dangerous. >> when you put yourself out in e public sphere, as a public figure, you do expect some pushback. what does it feel like, though, to have these comments made now? >> i don't mind pushback. that is democracy. i have been in government a long time. here in san francisco, we are rampant is politically. a lot of people agree with what i do or don't agree with what you do. a lot of local fight. i don't mind that. i been protested before, i don't mind that. i am an elected official and that is part of what we deal with. that is

charlie kirk founder of china but usa joins me now. lie, have you tried to get in touch with the new twitter team to get more details about what her pain, and how to sell and now? >> and attempted to public discourse by the lawn and i just want to say that i'm very happy that he is releasing this information. in some ways i feel vindicated because i've been talking about this for a couple years in the same people sale yeah sure your centered, but actually 200 singles out our account. and did a threat tag. so i would love to meet with you on the end of my hand twitter team and find out to what extent list is done. and what for what reason. but what i am really curious about is what they were told and how they were told to do this by the fbi? the doj, the cdc, because you see back in 2,020 in the spring when you are doing wonderful coverage about the danger of locked on potential treatments, i was treating a lot of segment of the show. i was tweeting things i heard from you show from dr. atlas in the center of the lockdown. and i can only

bring in charlie kirk who was placed on twitter's do not amplify list.rlie, your name was front and center in the second release of twitter files because we learned that twitter was doing precisely what we thought. what's your big take away from the third release from matt taibbi? >> well, first, the bigger focus i think needs to be on this individual yoel roth. how much power he had in these slack channels just to be able to call balls and strikes over the entire political dialogue online. you know, we talk a lot about the work we do at turning point usa about separation of powers and how one person should not be able to have absolute power over society as lord acton famously said absolute power corrupts absolutely and this boy king that worked for twitter and no one know existed was able to say i don't think millions of people should be able to see this content. i don't think millions of people should be able to process the news by the push of a button behind the anonymous computer screen. pete, this is the power that kings and dictators, czars and ces

those are charlie kirk's words not mind.e didn't buy a social media company, he bought a crime scene. both are correct. rachel: both are true. both are true. pete: we'll play a little more sound from elon musk last night. listen. or not? we don't have it. not cued. we have more. rachel: we'll pull it up later on in the show. we'll continue this story. will: i love to say this elon was going on his private jet going from somewhere to somewhere. i think he is highly plugged into digital media. if he turns on linear cable television as well, 3 hours 50 minutes left in this program. i have still some remaining questions which i tweeted @elon musk last night. i would like to know what the standard is free speech going forward? when will someone shadow-banned on twitter? i think that is still a question remains unanswered. ii want to hear what other topis in the past were censored. how big was this outside of twitter? was the government messing around with youtube, facebook, google. rachel: of course they were. will: i would love

joining me, charlie kirk. arlie, this is the kind of thing you and i have been activists about for the last few years. you and i amongst many others i'm assuming were victims of this. >> we are in this together along with some of the top people individually triggered by twitter. your podcast is huge, you reach millions of people. and you are successful in the parallel economy with rumble. i ventura guess that they targeted me because of "turning point usa." the work we are doing on high school and college campuses. the millions of young people we are reaching. do not amplify. that's the smoking gun, dan. dan: the drop on thursday night was horrifying. i'm sure your phone was blowing up. but the post important part of this is it may not just be big tech. but the fbi was meeting with them before the election. we already know that. the last time i checked, the fbi is a branch of the government. >> that's right. so this should be illegal. the next question is why did twitter do this and who told them to do this, an

i think it goes back to what our friend charlie kirk said.s a crime scene at a company, but charlie kirk says this is a superpac for the dnc, and it truly is. and you can see through this new tranche of e-mails who they diseased -- you notice they consider whether they're going to krone sor billy -- censor billy bald wayne. concern baldwin. not alec baldwin. pete: it almost all goes in one direction. this is only twitter, to what you said, will, and only what we are effectively allowed to see. who knows what jim baker deleted with other people in charge of this particular process. but it was a pass-through. it was almost automatic. when you read what matt taibbi said, if the fbi -- it would be signed sf, san francisco office of the fbi. these following accounts are saying things we don't hike. regular people, not famous people, small accounts, jokes. and it would almost immediately get forwarded and transferred into, okay, this person's been banned, this person's suspended. everybody vote on tuesday except for democrats, you vote on wednesday

unless you delete that tweet you're not allowed back on its extortion so guys like dan bongino and charlie kirkht back every day gets a headwind of twitter even though there being muted they still have massive followings that is a threat to people who want total control, this there's a little off the twitter but it doesn't change the rest of social media, this is actually with some twitter files less significant. i'm hoping they tie back to the fbi's involvement. that's a real scandal the government putting its finger on the throttle of what twitter allows to be heard. >> stay there i have more in a moment. i want to get back to the moments. we have the latest on inflation the producer price index take us to the number. >> you look at prices at the wholesale level they rose 7.4% year-over-year in six-point to percent x food and energy where is inflation is most notable in services higher wages for instance and end goods if you look at fresh and dried vegetables ppi there, at a 38%. >> okay, the market reacting badly at first down under to 15 hour down about 94. look who's here now. dan ives. we

twitter set the account of conservative activist charlie kirk to do not amplify.eiss' reporting suggesting there was a small secret brain trust of twitter officials involved in making the most politically sensitive decisions including gadde, roel wolf, jack dorsey and others. especially at the top repeatedly denied shadow banning accounts. they refer to as visibility filtering. elon musk will offer solution to users shadow ban. free up space of billions of unused accounts. now, specifically musk says the company is working on a software update that will show you your true account status. it will show you if you have been clearly shadow banned. it will also show you the reason to believe why and how to appeal. just a reminder, substack journalist matt taibbi who is a terrific read will have the latest installment of the twitter files coming up, so i guess two words for that are stay tuned, guys. >> steve: indeed. kevin, thank you very much. and kevin made a great point and bari weiss laid it out so easy for us to see in like 22 different tweets you can see it all o

may be linked to a recent twitter exchange he had with representative marjorie taylor greene and charlie kirk. >> these are homophobic attacks and they're attacking me because i authored legislation to support the equality of transgender people. >> he says he's been the target of threats for months. earlier this year east bay authorities convicted a man for threatening to kill him. >>> cases of flu continue to rise nationwide. according to data from goodrx prescriptions for tamiflu have reached their highest fall level since 2013. it is used to treat both children and adults. national pharmacy groups say this problem can't be fixed anytime soon and it may be through early next year. >>> flu cases, of course, not the only concern for doctors during the holidays. santa clara county health leaders say levels of covid detected in waste water are skyrocketing and it now actually surpasses the omicron peak back in january. because waste water data is often a bellwether, dr. sara cody says she's seen more cases and potentially more hospitalizations over the next few weeks from covid, flu and rsv. >>

powerful factors behindesse this that gave twitter orhi pushed twitter and said, hey,d e silence that charlie kirk guy.ir yeah.k guy. to that point, charlie, elon musk confirmed today that some political candidates in the u.s.me polites and elsewhere themselves subject to shadow banking while they were runnin g for office. now, we don't have detailss, which candidates there were, bu it i think we can make a guee here. pretty informed guess of which side of the aisle they were on , correct? yeah.es of cour i mean, yes, we know that twitter basically acted as a democrat super pac, but we'reere looking at here and it's important to reiterate the context is an unprecedented twenty first century technologica unprecel interferef operation happening without even realizinger the extent ofin it. and i think a lot of your viewers right now i on the angle have feel likeare o i'm losing my country. but i know we're in f the majority. >> why doeas ifs it fee l as if we're not able to get our opinionsnd and views? urag and thanks to ilan's courage and bravery of releasing these whles, we now know that the mediu

that happened last night, the university of new mexico in albuquerque, charlie kirk,were p visited the campus and riot police had campus. to be deploy. >> watch our campus people. you who are you? first quarter, you're pretty. yu think about the cops. come, you know what i say. i american kids, especially the cops who are here. >> you know, i love my god, like like the . oh, but the threat is the proud boys and qanon on charlie kirk is the founder and president of turning point usa. >> he joins us tonight. thanks so muchhank.r jo for coming on . whis was clearly organized. a lot of the signs were p preprinted. who were theseeopl people? goo >> do you know?questi it's a gooond question.if i wonder if they're paid, why they were spending their evenings to protest me and our turning point. us a chapter just to talk about the u.s. constitution consh. eech.of speec it's really interesting wheningy you try to show up on a college campus and do an optional voluntary event, how angry the other side gets. a but this is a very important moment for people to recognize and understand that the othe

charlie kirk attacked me and said that i was helping to put the late grunt. and and then we got were death threats and that it's just it's totally predictable. >> san francisco police searched the senator's castro home around 6 o'clock this morning, but did not find any evidence of a bomb. this isn't the first time winner has been targeted. bomb threats were made back in june against him in september. a san ramon man was found guilty of threatening the senator reporting live in studio. i'm rob nesbitt. kron. 4 news. thank you, rob. san francisco supervisors have voted to hold off on the controversial policy to let the police use. have deadly force capabilities. kron four's. justine waldman is live in the newsroom to go over the outcome of today's vote. just seen some might say surprise. yeah. the board voted unanimously this afternoon to ban such use of robots. for now supervisor sent the issue back to a policy committee for further discussion and may allow it in the future. it's quite the reversal from last week's vote. >> to let the police use robots for de

fd those affected, including fox's own dan bongino, conservative activist charlie kirk, the account lib's of ticktockn and even a prominent from doctor from stanford who was critical of covid lockdownst policies. o but remember former twitter ceoe jack dorsey repeatedlymber denid that this was ever happening. h here he is , in fact, front testifying in front of congress back in 2018. >> watch this.to read i want to read a few quoteses. about twitter's practices.ell yh >> and i just wantat you to tell me if they're true or not. social media is being riggeds bn to censor conservatives. >> is that true of twitter? >>, i don't know what twitter is up to . it sure looks like to me that ad they're censoring people and they ought to stop it. are yoo stopu censoring people?. >> no. >>itter shadow banning prominent republicans bad is that true? >> no. well, now, just like clockwork, democrats and their adoring allies in the media arliees i suffering one meltdown after another and relentlessly attacking musk and weissr and . so ask yourself, why areats in democrats and the media so the terrified by

charlie kirk joins me now. charlie, i have interviewed so many people who live along the border.ing to us from arizona. i can see. and it's just incredible, the federal government is telling them that what is happening to them is not happening. and i wonder how much more can they take? i mean, i'm almost expecting some sort of revolt here on the american side. >> you know, i mean, it's so dysfunctional. there was a brilliant piece written by michael anton who i found to be krivsky a year and a half ago. he sim summarized it it's not happening but it's good that it is. the administration says there is no crisis at the border just kids and fine stop complaining about it. at some point, the average citizen looks at this and they feel such disrespect from their leaders. it is a crisis. it's a humanitarian crisis. it's a political crisis, it is a crisis all across the board. you see the break-ins, the crime, the drugs, and then we're being told that actually everything is perfectly fine. it's secure. but if anything is happening. it's actually a really good thing because we are a nati

and other names listed include prominent conservatives such as charlie kirk and dan bongino. since the angle was pretty much the first national platform to slam the lockdowns i suspect my own name will pop up on some suppression list eventually. i hope so during the spring of 2020 i myself noticed and i believe i said it, that the reach of my own tweets seemed to be oddly declining. but frankly, i think it was obvious to all of us and one of the many questions lingering tonight is whether there was any contact between public health officials and twitter executives that encouraged censorship, of course, for public safety. of course, when any of us question big tech's motives or practices during this time, well, we were all treated like paranoid paranoid conspiracy theorists. >> now we realize that it was a canard. >> talks about censorship and shadowbanning which there has been no real proof of. >> laura: no real proof of? the only thing held up was legitimate public debate and scientific evidence and there is plenty of evidence and it was worse than just mere suppression. tow

or trendineeg topics.n all in secreset without informig users for the money accounts targeted charlie kirkktok in our very own dan bongino.i lo god i love his song living on a prayer. [laughter] >> he's got a temper, right? [laughter] greg: of these defects are coming out now thanks to elon musk only costing $44 billion. a small price to pay for the truth especially since none of us has to pay for. joe, when i was up last night was waiting for our two-week mention of band and i wasn't. i was so bummed. that to music close groups.p. quickly our ship we are shadow band and they don't have the guts to release that. maybe i wa thes shadow band thaa were so my jokes did not go viral. [laughter]augh or they work good. [laughter]n i just hate it when someone makes a decision about you bute they do not have the courage to tell you to your face. like one time this lady ghostedo meat we are supposed to go on a date. and a felony a missing persons report on them. [laughter] that was kind of a sad endingwa answering that the topic the u time i stood on the tennis co court.. greg: what was that like? i

infrastructure and instead just settled on expensive arts and crafts projects let's bring in our panel charlie kirk lahren is a fox news tribute contributor. first of all 4,000 page omnibus bill, charlie, and i will start with you, that nobody has time to read nobody. i don't care what speed reading course you took and it doesn't have to be that way. no reason they couldn't get to it in october when, you know, it should be done. >> yeah, or just pass a continuing resolution and let the new republican house sort this out because they have a mandate from the american people to stop this overspending. stop thinflation. >> judge jeanine: they won't do that. >> of course not. they basically robbed the first nine months of the house republican majority to september of next year you touched on some of the waste, judge. it gets even worse from that. it's lgbtq q learning centers. it's a museum funding. unbelievable. our own country is invaded. what is astonishing and unacceptable 17 republicans decided to vote for this. why do the democrats when republicans are going to go vote to add $1 trillion to the fe

joining me now is person charlie kirk, president of turning point usa and person horace cooper, project 21 chairman and author of "put ya'll back in chains." gentleman -- i shouldn't say that. people, persons, thanks for joining us here tonight. charlie? help me here. there's nothing worse than trying to go woke in the united states military. >> yeah, it's the few, the proud and the genderless, i suppose. you know, i deal with a lot of college campus at turning point u.s.a. something i've been warning is what happens on college campuses does not stay on college campuses. the woke mind virus will go down as more dangerous long-term than the lab virus leak from the wuhan institute of virology. this infects every major sector of seesity from wall street, financial institutions and now the military. it's easy to make fun of this. mockery is therapeutic. it's very dangerous. makes us less prepared to fight enemies and going against the ccp. if our military is concerned with readjusting or changing how they address -- how about you guys are worried about protecting taiwan against the chinese

among the accounts covertly targeted charlie kirk, libs of tik tok and our very own dan bongino.ot bongino, god, i loved his song "living on a prayer." [laughter] >> greg: so all these new facts are coming out now thanks to elon musk. it only cost him $44 billion. a small price to pay for the truth, especially since number of us has to pay for it. joe, the first thing i did when i was up last night was waiting for a tweet mentioning that i was shadow banned, and i wasn't, and i was so bummed. i was waiting for bari weiss to at mitt, that, to me is the coolest group. joe: maybe you were shadow banned and they haven't had the guts to release it. maybe that's why i was shadow banned, because some of my jokes didn't go viral. [laughter] joe: or they weren't good. [laughter] joe: i hate it when someone makes a decision about you but they don't have the courage to tell you to your face, you know. like one time this lady, you know, goes to me, we were supposed to go on a date, and i had to fill out a missing person's report over that. [laughter] >> greg: yes. joe: that was kind of a sad

dropped new twitter documents proving the company censored conservatives, people like dan bongino, charlie kirklibs of tiktok and even a stanford doctor who said lockdowns would hurt children. were secretly shadowed banned on twitter. posts being purged, buried, secretly censored. many conservatives were straight-up being banned. bongino had people telling him they couldn't find him on twitter. and bongino is the most viral guy on facebook but he was a ghost on twitter some weeks. no one could see him. the media told us we were imagining things. headline after headline told us move along, there's nothing to see here. every reporter said twitter isn't shadow banning republicans. even though they were. the ceo at the time, jack dorsey even went under oath to say the same thing. >> social media is being rigged to censor conservatives. is that true of twitter? >> no. >> i don't know what twitter is up to. it sure looks like to me they are censoring people and they ought to stop it. are you censoring people. >> no. >> twitter shadow banning prominent republicans, bad. is that true? >> no. >> jesse:

charlie kirk was on the show saying we've let voters feel it was not secure and they didn't show up.as talking about the long lines. i want to be clear, whether you are a democrat or republican, if you are an american it should be easy to vote, convenient to vote and secure to vote and we should make sure the system reflects that value in every election regardless of party or political belief. >> harris: i have only known you for a few seconds. you might be an independent. i do want to say this, though. out of all of the runoffs and how tight that race was, to have an electorate that is this engaged, this is really impressive. we want that to continue to happen. no matter who it is that's spouting stuff that isn't true, dan, you are right. it does not serve the voting public. i go back to you, matt, to put a quick button on it. >> it's entirely true. in the era since 2018 we're in high turnout election. youngkin in virginia, republicans won. democrats had a better than expected night in 2022. high turnout is the way of the row and both parties need to adjust to that. >> harris: you h

was left with a search blacklist and this one, twitter said the account of conservative activist charlie kirkin trust that called the shots that included jack dorsey, and senator tom cotton. >> remarkable this was happening and you had executives lying in public and misleading the public under oath. >> we are not done yet. matt i.e. be -- matt taibbi will have the next drop of the twitter files. neil: the aol cofounder, the rise of the rest. good to have you back. >> good to be with you. neil: what do you make this back-and-forth, working in concert with government authorities and the rest. we don't know all the details but elon musk is saying he doesn't like what he sees. >> there's a couple levels to it, elon is a great innovator, making a lot of decisions but starting to realize even though building rockets that can take you to space or electric vehicles is really hard some of the issues around media and society the twitter has evolved in have a nuance to it, and also broader trends as groups talk about the past, a policy becoming more innovative in terms of innovation in silicon valley wa

twitter also plackets turning points founder charlie kirk's tweets from being amplified. apparently twitter handled up to 200 of these censorship cases each and every day but remember, as weiss points out twitter repeatedly denied the use of shadow banning. twitter was lying. they lied over and over again. i interviewed at one point jack dorsey. he told me specifically, no, we don't shadow ban. we're also learning tonight that twitter formed a secret group that featured the company's highest ranking executives that would make decisions in private without much of a paper trail to censor or ban high-profile conservative accounts. like, for example, a popular account called libs of tik tok, which was suspended six times in 2022. even though the account did not even violate twitter's hateful conduct policy. at the same time, the women who runs libs of tik tok was doxed on twitter, they give out that address, received more than 10,000 likes yet twitter refused to take down that tweet. clearly what musk said over the weekend is correct. twitter was an arm of the democratic part
