and really, the story going in and i figure to eric schmidt's point which is quite interesting if the had the laptop since 2019 and knew it wasn't fake and simultaneously is telling or not telling people israel and wanting them to suppress the story, there is something terribly wrong here. we should be really scared. this is seriously old news and something the american people should relate, again, be alarmed about. >> griff: let me take you, jonathan because as a former i.c.e. director, i have to talk about it. a project of being a covert of washington. there is an immigration draft bipartisan but, by the way immigration draft bill on capitol hill right now. now, we show a little bit here on part of the deal to avoid security, funding and staffing and the processing centers. and claims placed for at least one more year of fast tracking removal of anybody in the u.s. illegally. but it also has for citizenship for age requirements that require dreamers between the u.s. between 2012 and 2018. what do you make of this? >> they should really be called the bipartisan we think the american

i always remember the story that eric schmidt, the chief executive of google, told me that, you know, john doe, the venture capitalist from kleiner perkins, came to him and said, i've got a great idea for you, eric. you should be the new chief executive of google. and his first reaction was, who cares about there are tons of other search companies, altavista, etc. you know who needs another search company? john does this. this is a different kind search company, way better algorithm. got this new idea called pagerank it's going to be great. you should be the so eric goes to meet larry page and sergey brin the founders of google and they're kind of like, you know, graduates, students not finished with their phds. yeah, 25 or whatever. and they're content for anybody aged over is quite evident. and eric schmidt being maybe 40 at the time i think is of risky joining these young punks. they've got all this stock in the company they have the power to just kick me out if. they get mad at me one day. why would risk my current job where i'm already chief of a software company to and join thes

eric schmidt is with us suing the biden administration over censorship? did i connect the dots in a way that makes sense to you because it can get confusing but did the fbi put their fingers on the scales and had this laptop for 11 months and did nothing with it. then the fbi telling every week they're meeting with the big tech companies and they're saying to them be on the route for these -- lookout for these hack and leak operations and hunter knew the story was going to come out and had the laptop and knew rudy giuliani had it. >> that's right, sean, and this is a story of the federal government with all of his vast power. >> here's what's very clear. the fbi had the hunter biden laptop story in 2019. say sat on it and the integrity guy at twitter in a sworn affidavit said in the meetings there was something about hunter biden in the story. connect all the dots and this was a backdoor way to affect censorship and advising them on their hack and leak -- or hack policy ought to be and you also have the same guy, jim baker who was general counsel of fbi i

the customers served of their c1 thank you very much and now the attorney general of missouri, eric schmidta full transcript of his deposition with dr. anthony fauci over the handling of the covid-19 pandemic and joins me now and certainly go back to the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. nobody never really what was going on and did not know how to deal with it and so we blindly went into lockdown and i know you're critical of dr. anthony fauci but once you cut them a little bit of slack for what he faced at the very beginning. eric: i mean, this is america, not communist china part of the problem here is that in the deposition when it was revealed that dr. anthony fauci sent his chief lieutenant, doctor lane, to china in early february to see what they were doing and came back raving about this really restrictive lockdowns, these isolation and blocking people in their apartments we see the protest now, that emanated recently come up with this going on since the beginning of this and since the end of 2019 into 2020, had dr. anthony fauci was completely on board with this and so i think th

. >> reporter: we reached out to former attorney general eric schmidt, as well as governor mike parsonhs later, both have not responded to multiple requests for comment. and now for johnson and dunn, their only option for freedom is senate bill 53. >> missouri stands alone, i think, in not giving an innocent prisoner the right to access to the courts when he has a compelling case of innocence. >> reporter: here, hope is in short supply. dunn's old family home was destroyed in a fire. all that remains now this is dormant block. >> all these houses, there was four right here -- >> reporter: dunn's existence now as desolate and empty as this vacant land. according to the innocence project, about 20,000 people in u.s. prisons are falsely convicted. in missouri, even if a conviction is overturned, the state doesn't offer any compensation unless prisoners are able to prove their innocence through dna testing. >> it seems like an impossible battle sometimes, but we will never give up. i know i can speak for all of us. we will never give up trying to get chris home. the justice system failed u

eric schmidt, former ceo of google and several dozen others. and we said we want to launch this fund, this rise of risk fund that's going to back these entrepreneurs all across the country in these rising cities and. our goal is to generate top tier returns. top tier returns because that would not just generate returns for you all, but also would signal to investors on the coast to pay more attention to the entrepreneurs in the middle of the country. and so it has been very important even though there are some broader impact ideas, as we talked about in of job creation and economic vitality and in these communities. first and foremost, we've got to generate great returns because that really will, you know, get some of those investors paying attention to the entrepreneurs in their own backyards and silicon valley and more attention to these dozens of cities all across the country are showing real, remarkable momentum. and a reminder that after words airs every sunday at 10 p.m. eastern time on booktv. well, thanks for joining us for about books,

eric schmidt admitted to this, we are not cool with censorship, but we will prioritize whoo the americanen they are looking at the search engine. they baron the business of ranking based off what they want people to see. this is part and parcel to what they have been doing for a long time. we know they have just proporgately sent spam in gmail, this is something big tech companies do and twitter files prove it is pervasive. >> todd: we talked about twitter and other bad ones uncovered. will this stop now that elon musk called it out with google and the like? or just keep happening because mainstream media doesn't seem to care? >> sadly, i think the latter. when it comes to these issues, it is consequences that matter, accountability matter. it has to be consequences, not theater. people say we will hold big tech accountable, but do nothing, you don't have deterrence. many public officials are not held to account by mainstream media, why change their behavior? not enough people are irate about this, they are down playing it as nothing burgers, the public must come forward and want the fbi

here is missouri attorney general eric schmidt on that stunning testimony, listen. >> we took the depositionan, the fbi agent, last week. the fbi had the hunter biden laptop story in 2019, sat on it, didn't do anything with it, they knew it wasn't hacked material and knew it was legit and knew when the story would be published. elvis chan testified they were having monthly meetings and weekly meetings telling them to be on the look out for hammed and leaked materials. >> brooke: the white house is still calling elon musk's bombshell twitter files a distraction filled with old news. >> my question was, is it the white house view that these decisions were made appropriately in light of what has come out. >> which decisions by whom? >> by twitter. >> this is interesting coincidence that he would twitter would haphazardly push this distraction, that is full of old news. >> ashley: ceo -- coming days. >> griff: thank you. the top republican on house judiciary committee requesting four current officials comply with his investigation into big tech censorship of the hunter biden story, including for

jeff landry and eric schmidt are suing the biden administration over what they say is government collusion with big tech. the same platforms now face the wrath of elon musk and the white house yesterday sought to downplay friday's twitter gate revelations. >> frankly not healthy and won't do anything to help a single american improve their lives. and so look, we see it as an interesting, you know, you know, coincidence and, you know, it's a distraction. >> elon musk is teasing there is a lot more to come in what he is calling his quest for transparency. listen. >> there will be more smoking guns. what happened after the election? >> musk is allowing an independent journalists access to all the internal communications related about the hunter biden story. wise will release a long-form report once she has done a thorough investigation. >> dana: gillian turner in d.c. >> bill: now to america's health. the treple-demic, rsv, covid and flu said to be overwhelming hospitals across the country. states report dramatic increases in respiratory illnesses. dr. marc siegel with explain. the news and b

now we have learned through eric schmidt's lawsuit and other ags the federal government coordinate asappening and in my opinion as a first amendment lawyer it is a violation of the first amendment for our government to collude and coordinate with private entities to suppress the speech of american citizens for political or any purposes and it is outrageous and so far the courts have been resistant to allow these claims. one case pending after argument last week but it is important all americans realize the threat posed by big tech companies which are effectively in place in most of our discourse and information is received and takes place. affecting not just and suppressing but manipulating what we see so we need to know more about this. there needs to be litigation and in my opinion there needs to be accountability including protect executives lying to congress about what they did. will: let's bore into that, here is jack dorsey before congress saying they do not shadow ban conservatives. >> does twitter censor the content of its users? does it hide what it would consider inflammator

inside to twitter, and this is a bigger conversation than twitter because you with see people like eric schmidtogle, alphabet then moves eventually into government. it's a back and forth that really i'll is incestuous. rachel: you talk about that relationship, they even wish each other happy birthday. i thought that was kind of indicative as well. i think it goes back to what our friend charlie kirk said. elon musk says this is 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 t
