remind you tomorrow we'll talk to jim jordan who worked closely for the testimony that was around matt taibbi the twitter files. now as you learned, the irs showing up at taibbi's house the day that he was testifying. so we'll talk to jim jordan, the chair of that committee when he joins us tomorrow. that is "the story" for today. great to have you with us today. have a wonderful afternoon. i'll see you back here tomorrow. >> they're upstairs. >> give me three. let's get three. >> let's go. let's go. i need three. >> one more. one more. >> let's go.

matt taibbi, he's an old school liberal. turning his back on him, the fact he's speaking truth to power in a way you would think that democrat whose remember the iraq war and a lies about weapons of mass destruction would sort of support but he's not getting any support here. he's correct to go to jim jordan and let them know and the rest of the country know this is what's happening, he's not going to comment on it. the irs isn't targeting the well this. the irs is targeting political actors and the middle class. maria: journalists. unbelievable. of course he doesn't want to comment on it. he doesn't want any more intimidation at his home. he joined me on sunday, matt taibbi was my special guest on sunday morning futures. we talked about the government's overreach. here's what he told me. >> we have to be on the lookout for government efforts to try to centralize the cleansing of, quote, disinformation from the media landscape which i don't believe is the government's job. i believed in free speech my whole life. that's what

remaining silent for random visits and agents sent to people's homes after matt taibbi was visited byagent the same date set to testify on capitol hill over a ledge government censorship on social media. fellow journalist michael shellenberger questioning the timing of the visit. >> maybe it is a coincidence the irs visited matt taibbi on the day he was testifying on the weaponization of the federal government against american citizens. or maybe someone trying to send a message. if the latter, obviously, deeply inappropriate and illegal because extremely troubling and we see irs being weaponized against matt taibbi. >> matt taibbi tweeting "for those asking come i don't want to comment on the irs pending jim jordan's letter." i'm not worried for myself but the committee should be aware of the situation pure the congressman's letter demanding answers on what prompted the visit. >> while he is a testifying award-winning journalist testifying before congress on the weaponization of the federal government testified in the committee hearing and democrats asking who his sources are violatin

now, matt taibbi tweeted that he does not want to talk about this.ing incredibly intimidated. but he did talk to me about government's big hand on sun you day. he was one of my special guests on sunday morning futures. here's what he told me about this ordeal of the twitter files and how he helped expose the censorship of true information by government. watch this. >> we have to be on the lookout for these government efforts to try to centralize the cleansing of, quote, disinformation from the media landscape which i don't think is the government's job. i believed in free speech my whole life. that was one of the things that attracted me, frankly, to the democratic party. when i was a kid was the idea that we were the party that believed in letting everybody have a say and we'll just make a better argument but apparently something dramatic has changed in politics in america. the parties have had a complete reversal on how they view these issues. maria: grover, do you see it that way? >> yes. look, the team that wants to shout dow professors who speak

matt taibbi always identified as a democrat.ow on monday morning futures and talked about what he exposed in the twitter files. this is matt taibbi before we learned an irs agent went to his home. >> we have to be on the lookout for government efforts to try to centralize the cleansing of, quote, disinformation from the media landscape which i don't think is the government's job. i believed in free speech my whole life. that's one of the things that attracted me to the democratic party when i was a kid was the idea that we were the party that believed in letting everybody have a say and we'll just make a better argument and apparently something very dramatic has changed in politics in america. the parties have had a complete reversal on how they you view these issues. maria: yeah. adam johnson, something has seriously changed. independent journalist michael shellenberger testified as well on government censorship and he's questioning the timing of the irs house call. here's shellenberger. >> maybe it's a coincidence that the irs

some say the feds were trying to intimidate matt taibbi as well. they went to where he lived to go talk to him. ben forever. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. ok i did it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. and no routine blood tests required. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. some people taking otezla had depression, suicidal thoughts, or weight loss. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. doctors have been prescribing otezla for over 8 years. don't hesitate. ask your doctor about otezla today. - this is our premium platinum coverage map and this is consumer cellular's map. - i don't see the difference, do you? - well, that one's purple. - [announcer] get the exact same coverage as the nation's leading

matt taibbi, not that person. normally you go down to the office and talk about your tax return.goes back to matt taibbi, same day he will testify in front of jim jordan's committee, they visit his home. now jim jordan is saying, this needs to be explained. he says to the irs, facts need to determine if the visit was thinly failed attempt to intimidate a witness before congress. jordan calls out the irs for knocking on his front door, matt taibbi, while he was testifying at the same time. >> while he was testifying, "new york times" best seller testifying on the weaponization of the federal government in the committee hearing, democrats are asking who sources are, violating the first amendment, while that is going on, guess what? the irs is knocking on his door, left a note saying we'll be in touch with you after the weekend on the following monday. >> cheryl: matt taibbi tweeting, i don't want to comment on the irs issue, i am not worried for myself, i felt the committee should be aware of this situation. >> todd: handled perfectly by matt taibbi, he is really raising his stock

was matt taibbi targeted by the irs when they showed up at his home following twitter files?> two things, one. everyone i've brought this up to or talked to says -- no one thinks it's chance, a coincidence, everyone thinks it's intimidation, some targeting. but real easy for the irs to answer, call up the agent, the person when knocked on the door, say hey, what was going on here? just give us the answer and if it is chance, just tell us. but tell us what it is. i don't know how it takes so long to figure this out but yeah, we have not received anything back from the treasury department, from miss yellen -- >> sandra: what happens if they don't make your deadline? >> then we'll ask -- we may look to subpoena the documents, any communications relevant to the situation. mr. warfal is the new guy there, i don't know why he does not tell us what's going on in the agency. this is probably the most feared agency that americans in our government, when you get a call from the irs, it's like oh, sugar, what's going on here. so, you would think the irs would give us an answer. >> john:

the irs owe journalist matt taibbi, they owe matt money.haven't heard back from the treasury department, or the irs. what i mentioned in previous segment, this happened under the obama administration with lois lerner. i do know during that crisis when we were figuring all of this out, they were targeting conservative groups, danny werfel was brought in as one of the interim guys to run the irs. he is the guy back in charge of the irs. i don't know if there is any connection there. what i do know is, this sure looks like more than a coincidence that it happens the very day he is testifying. >> fox business has been calling the irs. they're not returning calls. they're not answering. are they saying anything to you? because you gave the irs a hard deadline of april 10th to turn over documents, communications including with the executive branch and the white house. are they saying anything at all to you? >> no. we haven't heard anything but we want those communications liz. again context is critical here. the day before matt taibbi testifies h

when we see what happened to matt taibbi on the day he's about to testify about the weaponization of government, it's unconscionable. it's got to come to an end. maria: what are you going to do about it? the weaponization subcommittee is able to get witnesses in to talk with them but when you've got an irs agent many coming tr home that's a scary thing for a citizen. have you ever before seen an irs agent show up at someone's home? >> this seems highly irregular. they could have sent a letter, could have had someone make a phone call, reached out to matt taibbi's cpa to have dealt with this. instead to send an agent to him home on the day that he's to testify, this reeks of intimidation and again, we've got to bring this to an end. i think the hearings are going to bring a lot of clarity to this, a lot of visibility that's needed. >>> again, i'm going to continue to put pressure through the appropriations committee on the frtreasury to get to the bottomf this even if it requires withholding funding. maria: i thought that the republicans rescinded that $80 billion that joe biden wante

the question, was irs raising legitimate concerns of matt taibbi or politically motivated.ed cruz says it stinks to high heaven, the irs should never be in the business of harassing the american people. what do you think? >> well, matt taibbi was talking about people being put on government lists, if he was not under one before, he is on one now. the back story according to judiciary committee chairman jim jordan, the irs claimed matt taibbi's 2018 and 2019 tax return may have been a problem with identity theft, but he and himself were never notified, especially of the 2018 tax return filed a long time ago, that there was ever an issue and when they looked into it, found there was no monetary problem, the irs actually owed matt taibbi money. so that goes to show it could have been political intimidation. the irs agent left a note on his door because he was testifying that very day in front of the committee in front of washington, d.c. and his home is in new jersey. the irs is not commenting on this. jim jordan has sent a letter to the irs commissioner and treasury departmen

the day before matt taibbi testifies he learns that the f.t.c., a different agency wrote twitter and said who are the journalists you are talking to and named mr. taibbi and shellenberger by name. they testified the next day in front of our committee. >> i.r.s. refused to comment directly about this to fox business and directed us to their general website about how the i.r.s. contacts taxpayers, harris. >> harris: edward, thank you very much. republican congressman james comer of kentucky, chairman of the house oversight committee in "focus" now. great to see you today. first of all, do you believe that this was a coincidence that the f.b.i. went to a journalists home at the same time that journalist was testifying on capitol hill? >> no, i do not. >> harris: i.r.s., i'm sorry. >> no, i do not. another example of this administration weaponizing the federal government. the odds of the i.r.s. visiting matt taibbi the day after he testified to congress about government abuse and government corruption and government overreach, it's one in 10 million. then just look at what the government

matt taibbi is a hero. does not get intimidated by the irs or this white house or this administration if they the investigation that he's conducting right now. maria: wait a second. was it a raid? i thought that they showed up and left him a note. i don't know what that he was raided but still, for an irs agent to show up, was he trying to intimidate matt taibbi to shut up and stop talking about all of this? >> ate attempted raid when you'e showing up on the same day the guy is supposed to testify before congress about the weaponization of government. i can't think of anything more intimidating than that. maria: kevin, cheryl, weigh in there. >> janet yellen, can i give her credit, she did say no, that is not standard practice. this is what happens when you cross the irs. you get a letter. they e-mail you, they call you, come down to the office, let's have a meeting. this was over two different tax return years, one had been filed and accepted, 2018 taxes. congresswoman, i mean, come on. i mean, this is suc

that's a big question, plus this. >> maybe it's a coincidence the irs happened to visit matt taibbi on day he was testifying about the weaponization of the federal government or maybe somebody was trying to send a message. >> john: irs staying silent over how often they send agents to people's homes after journalist matt taibbi says he went to his house while he was testifying at congress. is the agency used to go against political opponents. the right to apply for a va home loan. a va home loan is unique. it's different than other loans because it allows you to borrow up to 100% of the home's value. that extra borrowing power may allow you to pay down debt lower your monthly payments, put cash in the bank, and give you the peace of mind that every veteran deserves. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry d

i don't quite get why matt taibbi got into this back and forth about whether he was the unnamed sourceause i think twitter is open about us providing this information to taibbi and other journalists they do's seemed determined to prove this storm water was unethical or trying to make a lot of money off of this and even one of the democrats called him a so-called list. >> i agree, i thought it was not the finest hour if there was. the effort was to try to understand of what mr. taibbi was and what he uncovered concerns him so much and he found so disconcerting. i probably would have asked questions a little different than they were asked but i do think it's important to separate the two things, this data, the concerns around individual privacy in terms of data each of us who use twitter, it's a legitimate pursuit and they obviously have been had an arrangement with twitter and they had to pay that back but this effort here, i think it distracts from what clearly legitimate in identifiably legitimate responsibility of the ftc. for them to clear in this space without full explanation why

he said as long as it's true that sounds what matt taibbi released.r as the irs showing up at his house, it's a totally brazen move by the irs but, unfortunately, it's not a totally surprising move. our government seems more interested in looking into free citizens and their right to ask what the government is doing and see that first amendment rights are under assault right now. we have absolutely the right to do that and hopefully, regardless of whether you are a democrat or a republican the guy testifying about government overreach suddenly has the government showing up at his house. matt tiberiasy, although showing up on fox these days this guy is a lifelong leftist. this crosses party lines there is not about democratic versus republican. what kind of society do we want to live in. the government is working with corporations to silence us. i know the fascism word is thrown around an awful lot lately that absolutely is the desks of fascism or live in a society roughly transparent and our rights are respected? i think you can figure out which one o

the rs agent going to matt taibbi's house, said the same thing that i was thinking. i'm going to put this on the screen. and chris are denouncing the house gop investigation into the weaponization of government that maybe that is because republicans are getting somewhere. the big question is when did the irs start to dispatch agents for surprise housecalls? i mean, it takes most people five or six hours to get him on the phone and now they are coming to your house? >> you, come into your house on a tax return that was filed nearly five years ago? and all the days between those five years they just happen to show up at the very day he is testifying before congress chris kaman, chris, there's nobody that will believe that that was a mere coincidence. they could have called. they could have set up an appointment. but no, they showed up and then said, oh, don't bother to get a hold of us for another four days. it is so urgent. this really reeks. and we went through this before. we have had targeting by the irs of conservatives and this guy is not really a conservative. b

that matt taibbi had lunch with elon musk? it's preposterous, it's overreach.r about it. >> jesse: if someone's emails are out there and they don't even work for the company anymore any long owns the company why can't he give those emails to a journalist? >> tom: it was fantastic what he did with the twitter files. most of the mainstream media beyond an excellent like it was nothing. it's a private company, they can do it they want but i don't have a problem with the private company. the fact is that they were on a conference call with the government every morning. they were making decisions based on what the biden administration told them to do. the old twitter. >> jesse: is not government property anymore. >> tom: musk is a riot, hilarious. there is no upside to what he's doing. he spent untold billions on this company. he has kind of hurt his own brand with the lefties who liked him for his electric vehicles but he doesn't care. that's a guy who actually cares about free speech. i think he's fantastic. >> jesse: he overpaid for the truth. we are happy. up ne

matt taibbi has written for years for the rolling stone magazine, ten books he has released.oke up one day and musk hired him to release information. he has been going through the evidence and presenting it to the public. this is a public service. here is the point. they don't like what taibbi is releasing clearly which is the government is again just like the fauci story, censoring information it doesn't want you to know because it conflicts with their policies whether that's the hunter laptop or in the case of fauci, the covid information even coming from the cdc itself, which the twitter files show they tried to suppress. >> harris: i have had medical experts tell me if we had known more about the origins it might have helped us to fight it in the beginning. the replication how it was messed with that sort of thing and the contagion levels that would change from mutation to mutation. it might have really helped. when i say might we can only say that because we didn't get anything. we got stonewalled because we were dealing with an enemy. >> the great barrington paper. >> h

agent pays a visit to the home of a twitter files journalist matt taibbi?pened to be the very same day he testified before congress about evidence twitter was allegedly censoring stories to protect democrats. congressman chris stewart, ben dome -- >> aishah: the optometrist took the stand yesterday in a paltrow trial ski crash. he heard a blood curdling screen before the actress plowed into him. we have the latest from that trial in los angeles. >> it's the first time in the trial we've heard from the man suing paltrow, terry sanderson making the case paltrow was at fault for the ski collision not him saying he had never been hit that hard. >> i just remember everything was great and then i heard something i've never heard at a ski resort. that was a blood curdling scream and then boom. and it was like somebody was out of control and going to hit a tree and was going to die. >> sanderson was asked if he thought it was cool to collide with a celebrity to which he responded no, that's not who i am. after sanderson wrapped up his testimony, paltrow's family sk

elizabeth: journal matt taibbi testified they uncovered a sweeping government push to turn the internet twitter into a censorship machine. that twitter, facebook, google, they were taking in the informal system they built, moderation requests from the fbi, homeland security, hhs, pentagon, even the cia. >> even, even the national science foundation delivered over $40 million in funding to do just that, to stifle free speech. elizabeth: so, you know, however you come down on frump -- on trump, whatever your leanings are, when you take out the word trump, you ache the out the word obama, take out the word biden and to what you're saying that you just look at the facts, it could easily be argued that trump was railroaded, that he before even he was inaugust ated there was a push -- inaugurated that there was a push to impeach him. there was a narrative inside the government to going after rump. and then it went after people who said, welsh we're questioning -- well, we're questioning people against mandates and vaccines. then there was a push against school shutdowns and pandemic lockdowns

journalist matt taibbi releasing a trove of emails between twitter and the stanford based for projectition of researchers trying to clamp down on rumors and misinformation about covid on social media. the problem is some of what they were advocating should be censored was not misinformation. take, for example, the idea of natural immunity in an email from june 2021, a representative from the virality project wrote a twitter leadership this week we were able to hone in on ongoing tactics and themes, including an increasingly popular narrative around natural immunity. but experts say developing immunity after getting covid is not a narrative. it's proven fact i would see that. >> today really showed us that especially the concept natural immunity, which is, you know, like a concept for thousands and thousands of years that that particular that type of information was suppressed has encouraged by the biden administration. and that doesn't make sense to me. infectious diseases. expert doctor monica gandhi believes the intentions of the virality project. we're good because they were promot
