remind our viewers about this new york post story right before the 2020 election. at was the part of it -- at the heart of it? guest: at the heart of the new york post story, if we go back the story was derived from a laptop that hunter biden left at a delaware computer repair shop. it was turned over to rudy giuliani and steve bannon i believe was involved. so the key question that the insert in, or the question they got in that article is with president biden himself had any knowledge or any involvement in hunter biden's business. there were emails to suggest that he did know, he was introduced to these people and he had said on the campaign trail that he had nothing to do with this business dealings. they freelanced the decision. i think that's the more interesting piece of this. they were referring to twitter, internal policy about how to deal with packing materials. there's a difference between the first amendment and twitter policy, right? obviously you would hope twitter policy guided by the first amendment that they are a private company. what you saw in thi

and cbs, abc, "the washington post," and "new york times" all said sorry, i was wrong. ever should have destroyed that story. we never should have took kayleigh mcenany's twitter account down. we never should have stopped the "new york post" from tweeting. now that the election is over we apologize. >> rachel: i expect the chinese and russians to interfere with our elections. i do not expect the fbi. >>this is a massive scandal. >> steve: well, we will see because michael shellenberger said yesterday asked by tucker, he said there's a lot of smoke and there should be an investigation. so let's. >> rachel: we can agree on that. >> steve: that's what i have been suggesting all along the way the task force was set up investigate see if they played by the rules. >> brian: from what we know we know they didn't. we don't need to wait anymore. ted lu writes in this left wing democrat. i read these breathily twitter supplemental files from matt taibbi so you don't have. to say here is the summary, twitter disagreed with the fbi. matt taibbi comes back with a tweet it's very odd

here to react, and editor who worked at the new york post, thanks for being here. uppression your reaction to what elon musk is releasing? >> cold anger to be honest mainly at my fellow members of the media who at the time all lined up behind the censorship. natosha bergstrom calling it misinformation, in pr saying we won't touch it because it isn't a real story and all of this was based on this excuse that this was hacked material and what these set of documents make clear is even inside twitter with a matter of hours, they knew the hacked material excuse wasn't going to hold up but they insisted on it and suspended the new york post twitter account, the oldest continuously published daily newspaper founded by alexander hamilton, that is how they treated and the rest of the media lined up behind this concentration of corporate and technological power and censorship. will: is it your belief because of the actions twitter took against the new york post the other media outlets had rationalization or justification to ignore the story as well? was twitter the leader on

they even suspended "the new york post" twitter account, do you remember that? message had gone out. this story was not to see the light of day and elements that did must be labeled "russian disinformation." tonight we finally learn the details of how the coordination effort unfolded. it came at a very interesting manner. elon musk gave former rolling stone writer matt taibbi currently of substack the rains in taking folks through all of this. wrote, "twitter in its conception was brilliant tool of enabling mask medication giving people the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers. in early conception, twitter more than lived up to its mission. as time progressed, the company was slowly forced to add those barriers. some of the first tools were controlling speech were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters." how this manifest itself? taibbi, through must, rights, this is a bombshell. request connected actors to delete tweets were routine. one exec would write to another, more to review from the biden team.

they blocked "the new york post."tion jack dorsey in a hearing that we had about this. and he admitted that they shouldn't have done it. the problem is when you look internally, there were a lot of discussions, there were these ministers of truth and a lot of these tech agencies have them. that's kind of translation is somebody that wants to suppress conservative speech. and so all under the name of truth, they were shutting down stories that were true because it might have hurt joe biden's campaign. that's not what they are there for. that surely is not what they were telling people on the outside. and it's going to get exposed. >> what can you do? what can republican does to prevent this from happening in the future from the government going into these companies and telling them what they should and shouldn't put up. >> one is putting them on notice it's going to get exposed. and jamie comer the incoming chair of of the oversight committee sending out request for documents. >> jim jordan chairman of the judiciary co

new york post did a great job. this is just beginning, jason. we are going to have every person at twitter in front of the house oversight committee. >> matt taibbi, more information about suppression and fake accounts. all these types of things, conservatives an republicans have been saying so long and chastised every single step of the way. this really is election interference. when you are talking about public officials that can't get out information that is and ends up being totally true. at one point, kayleigh mcenany, press secretary tries to send out this story appears in the new york post and shut it off. wouldn't let it be off. they use tools in their repertoire to not allow her to share the story. that is election suppression. >> it is election suppression. twitter needs to be held accountable. thank goodness for elon musk. i knew this was going to be a thing. we knew democrat national community communicating with twitter. april of this year, house oversight committee requested twitter preserve all documents between twitter and biden c

did. >> john: the other thing that went on, a precursor to twitter blocking the sharing of the new york post story was the fbi was giving twitter regular briefings and what andy mccarthy called a wink and nod strategy, wrote the new york post, the players know exactly what they are doing, they say enough to endorse the lie but leave themselves room to deny they did so. they think we are idiots. >> we really need to know more about what the fbi or other law enforcement or intelligence agencies were doing with the social media companies, were they setting this up and a story comes out and says wow, this must be what the fbi was talking about. let's censor it, how did that all happen. a lot of the defenders of twitter are saying look, it's a private company, doesn't matter, the first amendment doesn't apply to a private company. >> john: when the fbi and the white house are -- >> look i want emails, you see ro khanna says it kind of goes against the spirit of the first amendment here and if you are dedicated to free speech you done go around doing stuff like this. >> john: so we have seen matt'

handy because in october 2020 within hours of hunter biden's legal team getting tipped off to "the new york post" story exposing his emails, roth received ten documents from chan through the new communication platform. we don't know the exact contents of the documents but we do know that once "the new york post" story was published hours later, twitter and other social media companies censored the story, preventing its spread before the vote. and also we know what happened in the aftermath. many twitter execs couldn't point to specific evidence. it was all hack material, thus violating twitter's policy, then twitter general counsel jim baker who had the same role of the fbi, was the most adamant that it was. in the end, with baker's help and the buy-in, the suppression campaign on the hunter biden laptop story work. joining me not, miranda devine, columnist of "the new york post." also joining me as mike davis, founder and president of the internet accountability project. miranda, it's disturbing how interconnected the fbi was with twitter and then how the censorship began. >> i think as always

joining me right now is the new york post columnist and fox news contributor, miranda devine. ng here this morning. i know they blocked the new york post, obviously, from reporting the hunter biden story. your thoughts? >> well, i'm just very grateful i think to elon musk for opening up the files and showing us the inner workings of twitter's censorship regime. but we need to remember that this is not just happening at twitter. this is happening at google. this is happening at facebook. youtube. probably across the board. if you remember, the fbi when they were giving these bogus briefings before the 2020 election to the big tech platforms about russian disinformation, aka the new york post's impending hunter biden, joe biden story, they went to about seven different platforms including reddit so this is a censorship, bias regime that is across the board controlling our thoughts, our ideas, what we see, what information we have access to and they are biased in one direction. that was what was so stark about the material that barry weiss released last night, was that it was all

we do know the next day the "new york post" ran this dover, the now infamous cover biden's secret emails exposing information about hunter's business dealings overseas. shellenberger paints a greater narrative of the fbi having that close relationship with twitter. he tweets as of 2020 there were so many former fbi employee, bu alumni. bureau alumni working at bitter they had created their own private slack channel and crib sheet to onboard former fbi arrivals. fbi top lawyer jim baker, we have talked about had him on this network who, according to shellenberger personally questioned the "new york post" reporting arguing it's possible some of the formatting looks fabricated and after joe biden won the election in november 2020, baker and other twitter employees sent fbi emails thanking them for their work. he points to this tweet highlighting that the fbi was paying and i mean shellenberger highlighting the fbi was paying twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. shellenberger says it's from an associate plaintiff baker. now, twitter owner elon musk yesterday posted online a poll o

they get a bit of a lift from the new york post, which is a sibling. ories in the new york post about things happening in britain. so i guess people clicked those links. at the end of the day, this is about the business models of scale and advertisers and not going to be bothering with outlets that only generate a couple of million visits a month. they want big audiences to put their ads against, and the more automated this becomes, the more scale people have to get. so, you know, bbc also is growing in the us and also has a plan to get bigger. so it does feel like this is a moment. david yelland, you know, you've got experience of tabloid journalism on both sides of the atlantic because you were deputy editor of the news corp owned new york post from 1995 to 1998 before becoming editor of the sun. surely the idea of launching british tabloids in america has been tried many times before. what do you think about it? the world has changed because of the digital. revolution, so you can now- launch them and you can launch these titles at a very low. cost, e

twitter owner elon musk promised to expose how the company suppressed free speech by blocking the "new york post's" story about hunter biden in the 2020 election. the twitter files were released on friday but failed to show evidence that democrats or the government pressured twitter into suppressing the story. still, trump tweeted this on saturday. with the revelation of massive and widespread fraud and deception and working chosely with big tech companies, the dnc and the democrat party do throw the presidential election results of 2020 out and declare the rightful winner or do you have a new election. a massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles.

the information on hunter biden's laptop, she has a piece that was posted late last night in the new york post on the new york post website and you only need to focus on really a few instances that james baker, the ex-twitter lawyer, the ex-fbi counsel was involved in this twitter scandal. and she writes about this, questions must be answered on james baker's role in censorship scandals. first conveniently parachuted into twitter five months before the 2 2020 election as deputy general counsel and vice president. he played an instrumental role in the censorship of the hunter biden laptop story by the new york post in october 2020 and then he put his hands if and involved in potential suppression of material that elon musk ordered released from twitter's files last friday to reveal who was involved in killing the new york post story and preventing deer roughing dea atory material. he intervened. she admits that it was obvious that somebody mentioned from fbi from the twitter files, it wasn't hard to guess who it was. looking at the twitter files, once you realized the bureaus, russia collusions

back to the new york post story and i'm a columnist for the new york post, look at it this way.s really worried whether this was misinformation why didn't twitter ask the biden campaign, whether this stuff is real, whether hunter biden wants a comment and what is going on because that could have short-circuited this whole thing. of the biden white house, one of the reasons you go with a story like that if you can identify the person gave it to you whether it is hunter biden, or hunter biden not denying any of this, that is all twitter had to do, go to them and say is this real or not and if they said no comment you know it is real and there's election and transparency, whether it is hacked information from the russians or just hunter biden getting wasted one day and giving his laptop to somebody, not picking it up for a year what does it matter for the average voter? they want to see that. i think it is important to see his e-mails even if they are russian. if they are made up that's another story. the journalist, people like me take stuff that has been taken by whistleblowers p

2020 shortly after twitter blocked any and all sharing of the hunter biden laptop report from the new york post, npr proudly announced they would not be covering hunter's laptop from hell and we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and don't want to waste listener and reader time on stories that are pure distractions and countless other "journalists" refer to russian disinformation or hacked material. no legitimate internal documents and twitter blocked the hunter biden story, the laptop story on the basis that it could be hacked material and they hacked material policy and that policy reportedly requires that law enforcement find evidence of a hack. that never happened. the laptop was not hacked. it was hunter's laptop. even twitter itself admitted that the hacked excuse would not hold up according to one former employee and hacking was the excuse but within a few hours pretty much everyone realized that wasn't going to hold but no one had the guts to reverse it. yet twitter utilized an emergency tool only used for the removal of child pornography to block users

started silencing the "new york post" and other people sharing the "new york post" reporting on hunter biden? what was the communication? what was his role. amazing he was still there until this week. >> bill: break it down simply did the u.s. government work with a public company to go ahead and suppress information that influenced the outcome of an election? >> it's so fundamental. it is not just an affront to the first amendment it's the basic integrity of our elections to have the government telling media companies, coerceing and encouraging, whatever, what to public, what not to public. look, they weren't doing this because it was trivial. this could have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. maybe would have. certainly when you look at polls, it is important to people when they learn about it. you are talking about the underlying information is a flood of foreign money to the biden family as the emails show and bobulinski's testimony says. it is not just hunter. it is about the big guy, too, identified as joe biden. it is a massive story suppressed finally coming to light. >>

"the new york times" reported it, "the new york post" wanted to tweet and share it. k post" as a journalist organization. say what you want about the articles, the articles they print and whether you agree with what they say come but it is a journalist organization. it's not twitter's job -- this is what the comments are for on twitter. if someone disagrees with the te -- what's "the new york post" found, they can weigh in with the back and forth. that is what twitter is supposed to be. it made me think about the 2000 election. there was an early story that george w. bush had gotten a dwi in maine in 1976. it came out through a regional outlet, then fox decided "this is a story, it's going to go out," fox reported it and other places picked it up. it was a story that could have affected people's thinkings right before the election, but it was -- because this is, at its base, a journalist organization. we cannot avoid that story. we put that out. twitter, what are you? are you a town square? if you are, you have to say "if the newspaper wants to post something we will

remind our viewers about this new york post story right before the 2020 election. was the part of it -- at the heart of it? guest: at the heart of the new york post story, if we go back the story was derived from a laptop that hunter biden left at a delaware computer repair shop. it was turned over to rudy giuliani and steve bannon i believe was involved. so the key question that the insert in, or the question they got in that article is with president biden himself had any knowledge or any involvement in hunter biden's business. there were emails to suggest that he did know, he was introduced to these people and he had said on the campaign trail that he had nothing to do with this business dealings. they freelanced the decision. i think that's the more interesting piece of this. they were referring to twitter, internal policy about how to deal with packing materials. there's a difference between the first amendment and twitter policy, right? obviously you would hope twitter policy guided by the first amendment that they are a private company. what you saw in this

let's discuss, perhaps the loudest fake of recent days, this fake was published in the new york post, let's see, we read putin is allegedly preparing a massive yar missile capable of hitting the us and the uk vladimir putin confirmed his nuclear threat to the west. apparently , a massive nuclear missile capable of hitting is being prepared for combat use, both the united states and great britain are shown installing a massive russian yar missile with an intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 7.5 thousand miles, the missile system has with a power 12 times greater than the power of the american bomb that destroyed hiroshima well , i would say that in a strange way, this commotion around the chicken coops about the already well- known yers. yes, russia showed, as they say, the usa of yersa, but we didn’t show it today, i would have been in the place of the same e, the americans were more afraid of the sarmatian with uh ten, so to speak, different rhch segments, separated by the main part from the combat planning unit vanguard that comes with the sarmatian. yes, we have yards

twitter thread last night talking about what had happened at the company pertain thing to the new york postaining to the new york post, your reaction. >> look, it's fantastic that elon musk has chosen to move the dial a little bit further to the truth for the american public to understand exactly the egregiousness of what went on back in october 2020 when the nation's oldest newspaper, fourth largest by circulation was censored by big tech in service to one of the two candidates for president. they interfered in the election. so it's fantastic that elon musk has sort of opened the twitter files. unfortunately, he left out a crucial element, and that was the involvement of the fbi. and is we know that the fbi went to twitter and to facebook, mark zuckerberg's told us that that, in the weeks and days before our story came out to warn them of a specific what mark zuckerberg called a dump and what fbi agent elvis chan who was just deposed in a republican lawsuit the las, elvis chan called it a hack and leak operation. and that is what he told twitter executives, that they were expecting a hack

now the "new york post" is picking up this whole story with an op-ed titled revelations about twitteries raise questions about big tech and other sites. and the "new york post" writes what role is the federal government playing right now as outgoing house intelligence committee chair congressman adam schiff and his democrat colleagues badger the likes of meta to maintain their censorship policies. mmeta is,facebook and rigging tc square intelligence asset in its favor and where are the facebook files and google files. house republicans have an obligation to not only expose the coordinated government big tech assault on the first amendment, but to prevent such corruption of our political system and undermining of liberty from ever happening again. well-said there. >> joe: you know what they are talking about there. a letter come out from schiff to facebook right after elon musk started exposing what was happening at twitter saying you better not do that you better not change how you are censoring. because it's a public safety -- and so you know what really is so, i guess, frustrating f

the new york unbelievable.w york the new york p post is thee olde only one of the oldest newspapers in america.ost" ove they were able to shut down the new york post over this. this shows that big tech has too much power. >> they have gatekeeping power, ridiculousr. ng. t >> yeah, exactly. t we need to break up big tech. h they have way too much power.an and we have seen over and over that they're willing to usee wil their poweinr to crush conservatives and others with whom they disagre ande. well, and charlie, this leads us to discuss the house now, which is , of course, going to be in republican hands. kevin mccarthy will likely be the speaker of the house. he has been known to be tha more friendly in the past than others to big tech. recei he received enormous amount ofvt money over the years from big ca tech companies. i mean, we likni but vin mccarthy ,have been on the show many times. but this is where the rubber meets that, you knowknow, what here. i i don't care who gave you contributions. is i this must stop. this is these are proxy sensorsp for the left right now.use th and t

carley: a fox news alert, elon musk suspending to twitter accounts of at least half a dozen reporters late last night including journalist from cnn, "the washington post" and "the new yorkes." you were watching "fox & friends first" on this friday morning. i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. the journalists were putting he and his family in danger by tracking his private jet. if anyone post real-time location of actresses, new york time reporters the fbi will be investigating. there will be hearings on capitol hill and biden will give speeches. >> carley: brooke singman with the details, brooke, good morning. >> that is right, elon musk sending mainstream media into a tailspin after suspending some accounts including cnn donie o'sullivan and new york timers ryan mac, "washington post" drew harwell and fox reporter eric. they violated the terms of service with direct links to an account tracking and posting location in real-time. he said, "criticizing me all day long is totally fine but doxxing my real-time location and targeting my family is not. it will be posed for seven days and the media is upset about it. the executive editor of "the new york post" said sus

this was about a journalist at the "new york post" writing an article about the situation.re's no justification for suppressing that, even if the source of that had gotten that information through something that was hacked. that was the case of the pentagon papers. journalists should be allowed to publish things as long as they aren't participating in the hack. >> right, which is obviously important. do you have concern, though -- and i understand you're focused on the first amendment part of it -- but do you have concern that part of the reason it appears twitter suppressed it was because the fbi was sort of leaning on this idea of russian disinformation, hacking, and hunter biden? >> well, i would say let's be transparent about everything. i would be very surprised if the fbi was doing that under the trump administration, given that president biden at the time was just a candidate, didn't have control over the levers of government. but i think it's perfectly appropriate to ask the question and to have full transparency and let the facts come out. and so the fbi should exp

jackie: have two minutes left, get a broadened up the conversation because john levin from the new york post to him about the twitter story. i would get your impression from the news that kelly broke from us saying the biden team was taking screenshots of tweets and telling twitter to look into the tweets. >> that's everything. this is what we've all suspected for such a long time. this is right around with the hunter biden story was released and we see the very least active collusion between twitter which censored the information the biden campaign. i want to know who biden team is. i want another point person who are they communing with, because that person needs to be part of the broader investigation. jackie: i'm sure he will shed more light and expose people deeper, it seems like it but not a piece at a time but what is so interesting to me when it comes to the way twitter was operational before and the way it was being run in suppressing the speech of republicans, every democrat was fine with her. but now they're up in arms with elon musk who is insane i'm going to suppress democrat sp

i work at the "new york post" but i do think he is right. unter biden laptop story in october 2020 and the twitter files show that there was an active move to suppress and cover up that story. you know, turns out that it is even worse than we thought. we already had people like former twitter ceo jack dorsey admitting it was a mistake. know we're seeing the fbi was involved and the very little i have seen in you know, other media about this is really is trying to downplay it or even claim that what the filings show, they don't show that it is mind-boggling. but of course these files make them look bad as well because they knew that the story was true and they also, you know, made sure not to report it. now of course they waited until after joe biden was elected to start running stories, as "the times" and "the washington post" did, saying the actually the laptop is authentic. last month cbc, cbs news reported the laptop was authentic but didn't mention the "new york post"'s name the fact we had it out two years ago. it is just incredible. ash
