on the left you don't see matt gates, just a random guy named matt gates, and a little -- on the right people trying to find these people to hear their message, this is a really big deal, stopping the message from getting out of the people, that is how politicians survive. >> twitter is the way we communicate these days. it is a way people want to follow the president. ironic that he talked about this through the use of twitter, the same format he is attacking. if you are follower of these individuals there is nothing you notice. if there is someone new who wants to find out and follow an individual, you have to know what their twitter account is an to type that in to even be able to find them. it is hard for individuals to know whether this is being done because their followers don't notice it, and that is when it seems twitter is trying to censor. jillian: be clear, our behavior ranking doesn't make judgments based on political views or the substance of tweets and jack dorsey responded a sure thread addressing some issues folks are encountering, and shadow banning, and how they work.

joining me now congressman matt gates, he serves a number of very important committees. let's start with meadows revelation in this letter, what is going on? just one after another. and the question has to be asked? are you people withholding information? obviously, they are. >> that is affirmativ affirmatiy answered. there were text-messages with peter strzok and lisa page. involving strzok's personal friend ship with a fisa judge. and there was famous text message, infamous, where strzok says no, he won't we'll stop him, this is now a pattern, department of justice is not giving ut the information we ask in a timely fashion, we get a trickling of information it is far to redacted. lou: we've been hearing, we know, we heard throats threats from nunez and various people in congress. and it comes to nothing. why should gone at deputy of justice sweat you guys at all? >> we have a i think get more people to the republican side in congress enthusiastic about our oversight responsibility. the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, said congress has no constitutional author

. >> congressman matt gates is one of the republicans whose twitter handle was hidden for months from some curious users searching for him. type his name in and he didn't pipe up. today the president who is twitter account helped get him elected road twitter shadow banning prominent republicans, not good. we will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once. another one of the cut, allegedly blocked republicans are nc chair mcdonald's. >> that's very troubling. >> the conservative shadow band appears to have been fixed this morning for the first time since may when twitter announced it would crackdown on trolls contributing to an unhealthy of dialogue and put her staffers explained some troll-like behavior is fun, good and humorous. what we are talking about today are troll-like behaviors that distort and distract the public conversation on twitter particularly in communal areas like conversations and search. those search bar changes are not known to have impacted any democrats. andrew's arabians clamp to key west shadow band, too. he claims the targeted censorship isn't

you look at this, we want to highlight, marco rubio, matt gates have endorsed me.e they too controversial? is that why the next sensor is an outrageous situation. jillian: you did hear back from facebook after a day. what did they say and have you made sure your ad is running? >> our ad is running. we made sure of that and they apologized, they said was not supposed to be flagged. what is the answer? they have a policy you are not allowed potentially some ammunition or guns. this is a fundamental constitutional right. even crazy california in the ninth circuit overturned the ammo than in california and said open carry is constitutional under the second amendment throughout the whole country. a state like vermont, senator bernie sanders, they don't have gun laws. the fact this is on the list for facebook to flag and catch anybody's expression of their belief in the second amendment is outrageous. why don't they have restrictions on abortion advertisers. that is something that is a serious problem every single day in this country. it shows a bias at the core in terms

you, matt gates among conservatives, not appearing on the drop down on twitter.e you going to do about that? >> yeah. we sent a let tore twitter over a month ago asking them to talk to us about the shadow banning and the issues that we're seeing with conservative voices being sur pressed suppressed. vice came out with an article proving that, my account doesn't come up, jim jordan, mark meadows. the same is not true for democrats. lou: it's outrageous. >> it is really outrageous. stop policing our social media platforms, a bad thing for our country. you have the right to disagree. you do not have the right to suppress voices and beliefs that do not go with your own. we're going to need our user to step up. we've asked twitter to sct for t for this. they never responded to our letter. lou: you've got to be kidding. >> facebook did, twitter did not. we have to draw attention to this because it's going to continue into the midterms and we do not want this to be the new norm that if you're a conservative, you're going to be suppress odd. the smeerd r social media pla

but i tell you what, this investigation started flawed with the dossier and matt gates had great questions. it's flawed on the back end as well. he didn't ask peter stoke about these text messages that show hi his animus against president donald trump. he didn't get to the fact that peter strzok wrote all these terrible things about our president. it was flawed from the time it started and flawed at the end. >> sean: just like andrew wiseman who overturned the supreme court and four innocent people sent to jail for a year and are excoriated by a judge for withholding exculpatory evidence. there is no team that can be fair with a pit bull like. that at the heart of this was hillary's investigation rigged? and was this a specific attempt to basically steal an election, pretty much? the smelly people, don't let them win? >> we always thought that clinton investigation was rigged. now what we've learned in the last several months and from the inspector general's report we know it was rigged and the people who ran the russia investigation they started it based on the dossier. it's how they got

we can report tonight that congressman matt gates of florida has sent a letter asking them to explainionship which is obviously very troubling to put it mildly. tonight the doj give us another statement. the attorney general has directed the fbi to reevaluate their relationships with groups like this to ensure the fbi doesn't partner with any group that discriminates. as the splc certainly does. the founder of quillian just received the settlement after they labeled him as an extremist, he is the author of a tremendous book called radical. he joins us tonight. thanks for cominghe on. it was partly from watching what they did to you that had us asking the question to what extent are they involved with the federal government? we discovered this. tell our viewers your experience with the splc. >> it's curious and fascinating at the same time because i have been born and raised a muslim, i spent my teenage years with an islamist organization seeking to enforce sharia law in muslim majority society, i got radicalized. i ended up as a political prisoner. it was in jail that i reformed my vi
