so what twitter has been doing and jack dorsey was explaining it at some length yesterday, is a have been putting tags onto the president's tweets, and those tags will take you to links in which they provide what they call context, broader context for the information that the president puts in his tweet or the argument or position he puts in his tweet. with that also comes some restriction either reach or the ability of other twitter users to engage with the tweet. there have been studies showing there is quite a bit of restriction that comes with twitter, putting a label on the tweet. it's not just a label and then everything is the same otherwise. there is a significant reduction in engagement with that material whenever they do this. we do not do that on parler. the attack we taken is similar to what senator kennedy talked about in the senate hearings with dorsey and zuckerberg. we allow people to think for themselves. suggest as kennedy was questioning the two of them saying do you believe everything you read? no, of course not. we don't think any person who goes onto a platform

tack we take an parler is similar to what senator kennedy talked about in the senate hearing with dorsey and zuckerberg. we allow people to think for themselves so just as kennedy was questioning the two of them saying do you believe everything you read and no, of course not. we don't think that any person who goes on to a platform like parler or twitter or facebook should just take everything on their that they sell you just because it's been put out there in the world but we think people should be thinking critically for themselves and so we will not put a band-aid on anything or give them a crutch or anything else but we will not encourage them to outsource their critical thinking. we think they should go ahead and look at the tweet from a president or parler from the president as if he does come to parler and ask himself if it's necessarily true just because the president says it's true. maybe i need to check some other sources, especially if it's a significant claim that could affect something that is very important. perhaps i should look into the facts behind it. so, we do disagree

i think jack dorsey has done a great job with that company.rred tilt in fintech is through visa and a company called vicer they have had double digit earnings growth for as long as -- you go back and look, they dominate those particular niches so it is a space that you want to have exposure to, a lot of reasons to think that the digitization of payments will continue to be a dominant story over the next ten years. visa for example not only has a secular growth story as they duopoly with credit and debit cards, but also acyclical stor as well as we get back to normal visa is a toll collector so i think you should own fintech, but do it through companies that have a little bit better valuation i think paypal is a good stock we like visa and vicer >> and i think one of the best backgrounds. all right, man, happy new year >> appreciate it >>> coming up, pulling back the curtain on the uncertain road ahead for the box office, whether it can box back in 2021. but first, some of the other top stories, bad news for exxonmobile as it is apparently sign

businesses that stly closed the entirety of the pandemic as abc 7 news journalist dustin dorsey shows us while guests haven't returned to the tech interactive in san jose, the invasion never stopped. >> reporter: since 1998 the tech interactive in downtown san jose is a place children and adults alike can create and invite in the heart of silicon valley but no amount of problem solving could prepare the museum for what came in 2020. >> the first time we've been closed like this. we have no notice the same as everyone else we have to shut the doors and go home. >> reporter: overnight the once busy exhibits closed and been this way since march but the tech interactive president and ceo katrina stevens knew they had to find a way to continue. >> at the heart of tech is to make innovators and problem solving skills. when the pandemic hit and we had to close doors, the staff put those skills to work. >> reporter: the tech developed a new website with challenges and field trips to bring the greatness of the tech to thousands of homes instead of on location. as a kid i visited the tech museu

dorsey, thank you both for being here with us virtually and for your commitment to constantly improvinghe way your platforms are serving people across the country. lou: that is simply pathetic. and senator mike lee talking about moderation. these are rinos, they are absolutely irresponsible mouthpieces for those tech titans who are censoring the president of the united states, killing the voices of conservatives across the country. you may be wondering why we don't bring many senators on this broadcast are often. in fact, it's rare that we do. and it's because, mostly, they have nothing good to say, nothing compelling. they also seemingly never get anything done. so the next question we would ask is, why both? and that should -- i why bother? and that should bother everyone in this country. another of recently-elected ri or no senators are pushing for immigration reform. remember amnesty? well, here you go. senators thom tillis, john cornyn, susan collins joining senator marco rubio, congressman will herd and mario diaz-balart are ready to talk about an amnesty deal for illegal immigran

now you have $15 more million from twitter's ceo jack dorsey, like the private sector stepping in whered to act. how many people will that money go to and for how long? >> well, no, let me just -- i think the point you raised is a dpat one. the fact we're using philanthropy to provide for the necessities of citizens, this is an indictment on mainly majority leader mcconnell in the republican-led senate, it is unacceptable myself and other mayors had to talk to tech ceos and other private individuals to make sure our citizens had money for rent and food, all while being deemed essential workers in work places like food markets where people need to survive and don't wear masks. i think the notion of a guaranteed income is one that should be beyond the parse and dichotomy. it's really about in the richest country on earth during a global pandemic, what can we do to make people safe? >> right. >> as mentioned, $1,200 checks actually cut poverty, just one check. so it's confusing to the american people as why we can't get a deal with both democrats and republicans in terms of providing the e

dianne feinstein has a lot of things in this article, when sh was jack dorsey at a judicial committeet that president trump's tweet, she asked him about it, she heard his answer and then repeated exactly the same over again as if she didn' remember that she'd even asked it. she's had multiple conversation according to this article with chuck schumer, senator schumer, who has been telling her, and apparently she doesn't remember the conversations and he has to come back and ask her all over again. i'm not a doctor, i liked her kindness at the judicial hearings, but they also sent in a third to keep an eye on her. the problem is that over the ag of 85, the risk of dementia or cognitive is about 40 percent and over the age of 75, there i about 20 percent. speaking with somebody who is 78 , joe biden this week, tucker, this week, announced his new choice for hhs secretary except he called him health and education secretary. health and education territory terry perry do you remember, of course you remember that in 1979 , they changed health and education and welfare over to health and huma
