nunes' lawsuit is swinging for the fences, because for defaming his good name, nunes is suing twitterllion. now, that sounds like a lot, but they came up with the number using a simple legal formula. you take the value of devin nunes' reputation and you add $250 million. ( cheers and applause ) now, in the lawsuit, nunes claims that twitter is biased against conservatives. oh, come on! twitter is biased against everyone. it's like the mars of the internet: it is inhospitable to human life, and for some reason, elon musk wants to be there. specifically, nunes calls out two parody accounts which he says have repeatedly tweeted and retweeted abusive and hateful content, the first being an account called @devinnunesmom. ( laughter ) >> jon: that's cold! >> stephen: that is cold, jon. that is ice cold. that's embarrassing, seeing a parody account of your mom. but even more embarrassing is seeing how it looks when written out in a formal lawsuit, because the suit says--and i quote-- "in her endless barrage of tweets, devin nunes' mom maliciously attacked every aspect of nunes' character." (

for example, the account devin nunes' mom posted a graphic claiming that trump, putin, and nunes wereach other like a human centipede. nunes put that graphic in his lawsuit. [ laughter ] dude! what is wrong with you? before you filed this lawsuit, no one had ever seen that. [ light laughter ] like you passed out at a party and someone drew a dick on your forehead so you got mad and took a selfie and put it on instagram. [ laughter ] and to be clear -- to be clear, we at "late night" would have never made a graphic like this and we certainly would never have been allowed to show it on tv. but now it's part of an official lawsuit by a member of congress and we have to show it. [ laughter ] in fact, and again -- again, i hate -- i hate that i had to do this. but legally, i had to have it printed on a t-shirt. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] there we go. we might even sell it in the nbc store in that secret room behind the door that says "weird [ bleep ]." [ laughter ] you know where they keep the anatomically correct alf dolls. [ light laughter ] just to give you an idea -- of how b

what do you make of this whole devin nunes thing, dylan? is right and it's the reason why you are not going to see representative nunes win this case. look, if scavino basically overloaded the system and then cried foul, the allegory for nunes is somebody who opened up web browsers and started shouting every single one of them he didn't like was evidence of a conspiracy theory. this is how twitter works. there are parody accounts. there are accounts that will be critical of you. there are accounts that make jokes at your expense. we can spend a long time debating whether or not that's positive or negative for society, but the idea that somehow nunes or conservatives are being targeted by what is very much a content agnostic platform is just sort of comical on its face. i think it makes you have to wonder like what world does representative nunes live in where he believes this stuff. >> and going back to trump, i'll just point out for people who missed this when it was revealed a couple of days ago, for all of his complaints against facebook

the accounts, "devin nunes' mom," which suspended last year, and "devin nunes' cow," which is still activelts him, and they do nothing to stop him despite it causing him extreme pain and suffering. he claims that agenda is brought bradley conservative >> what's happening is that twitter becomes the gas lighting for all of the news. when they are regulating us, they are regulating what they can see in my treats. which they have done. and they are proliferating out things they agree with with algorithms they develop. >> there is increasing pressure on social media regarding content and creators. president trump's social media chief, dan scavino, just this week accused we spoke of "silencing" him by stopping and replying to comments on his own facebook page. facebook told us today that was an "unintended consequence" of an algorithm to stop automated bots. they say it's being fixed and they have apologized to dan scavino for the inconvenience. facebook also at the center of video you are seeing right here. ongoing questions about how quickly or slowly, depending on your point of view, it take

look, nunes is proving himself to be the republican party.s guy made a huge mistake doing this and the fact is he's given himself the effect the more you try to cover up something the more it gets exposed. he made this thing. no one knew who it was before this and now it has 250,000 followers. it's pathetic, if i may steal ryan's prior pun but this is a guy that made a huge, huge mistake. >> i missed the pun. >> you were just mooving right along there anderson. >> you've been working on that all day. >> he's going to -- >> ryan is going to -- ryan is going to milk that joke all night long. >> oh, my god. >> one serious point. i remember interviewing nunes in 2013 when the gist of the interview was about how the republican party was veering into a conspiracy mindset. and he told me this story about how his constituents would talk to him about policy and they were starting to just send him stuff from like alex jones and conspiracies and something changed with nunes where he himself went from being a critic of that to being part of it. >> and nu

the lawsuit also accuses twitter of shadow banning nunes.actice that allows users to still tweet but no one sees their post. in july president trump tweeted that twitter wni prominent republicans calling it discriminatory and an illegal practice. twitter's ceo denied purposefully shadow banning. >> we don't consider political viewpoints, perspectives or party affiliation in any of our policies or enforcement decisions. >> they don't want to call it shadow banning, that's fine. they can call it whatever they want to call it but the fact of the matter is people could not see my tweets. >> all of this he says negatively impacted his re-election campaign where he won by a narrow margin and interviewed with his on going russian investigation as a member of the intelligence committee. >> this is the first of many lawsuits. we have to hold all of these people accountable because if we don't, our first amendment rights are at stake here. >> twitter told cbs news it doesn't shadow ban and certainly doesn't shadow ban based on political viewpoints or

. >>> next to unintended consequence involving devin nunes and a cow.ing twitter for $250 million. >> devin nunes' cow before the suit was filed, the account had 1200 followers. >> but now devin nunes' cow has gained more than 552,000 followers. that's 150,000 more than nunes has. how about that. >>> speaking of cows, look at this. a texas ranger tested the store policy at petco, which says, hey, all pets are welcome. >> he walked his 1600-pound steer through the door. the staff welcomed the animal and the rancher with open arms. >> how about that. >>> all right, and finally, people in los angeles, you can relax, there was no war of the worlds moment over the city. >> the lapd had to calm folks after what looked like fireballs streaking through the sky. it was just the red bull air force celebrating the supermoon. two men in winged suits through the air. police tweeted it was not a meteor or an alien invasion. i mean, it's tinseltown, right?

so one of the users he's suing is called devin nunes's cow. so walk us through what is happening here? >> that's the right question. i had that question myself when i first saw this story pop up. essentially, devin nunes is arguing that he has had to endure, you know, slights, insults, you know, in a way that nobody should ever have to deal with it, people making fun of him, people making crude jokes about him. and that all of this is essentially being enabled by the platform itself. because they have it out for conservatives. so, you know, i mean, our laws protect parody, for example, if you're satire, you're making fun of somebody that is protected under u.s. law. this idea of shadow banning is something that he's brought up, which is essentially this concept that twitter would allow you to post something, but effectively make it invisible, make it not show up in searches. this has been widely debunked. >> and the president has tweeted about this idea of shadow banning, we're going to look into this illegal practice. he's tweeting about othe

but twitter did suspend the account at devin ne nunes' mom,t his actual mom. nunes said he's not stopping there, that twitter is just the start of his court challenges. cheryl: good for him for speaking up. because so many of us have beene vilified on twitter. >> reporter: it will be interesting to see what happens, if this is the start of a trend. cheryl: it could be. lauren: it's a busy tuesday morning so far. let's get to some of the other headlines making news. brazil's president making a trip to the white house today to meet with president trump. the two expected to talk trade, nuclear power and the desire by both sides to see venezuelan president nicolas maduro out of office. supporters of opposition leader juan guaido have seized three diplomatic buildings in the u.s. they include two military installations in washington and the venezuelan consolate in new york. the trump administration reportedly at odds over what to do regarding venezuelan immigrants here in the us. one proposal would have the u.s. grant special status to more than 70,000 venezuelans

. >> you mentioned devin nunes. he says the entire mueller report should be public. do you agree with that? >> yes. >> he said he didn't see any evidence of impeachable defenses. let's talking about some of the evidence that congressman nadler said for example, the campaign finance violations may be an impeachable offense. i want to put up the check michael cohen showed. this was from the hearing on wednesday, a $35,000 check signed by president trump in the oval office. now that check is part of a campaign finance felony that federal prosecutors believe was directed by president trump. doesn't that concern you? >> listen. you know what concerns me? if you hire an attorney. if i hire an attorney to make sure i carry out the law, the attorney has a responsibility to tell me what's right and wrong in the process. if it's a campaign finance, those are fines. those aren't impeachable in the process. listen to what else they did. this is what's so concerning to me. last week, we just hit 2.6 in gdp. did we talk about that? the president sitting in vietnam talking with nor

i don't know what nunes was thinking in names devyn nunes cow.ollowers. so it has indeed had that boom rang effect partnership i suppose if he does want to make a case that there's victimhood of conservatives in social media, that may or may not be the case. but the poster child is not nunes, who is somewhat of a laughing stock. >> this is the first off many, sean. we're going after twitter first because they spread this fake news the slanderous news. how is it that every day there's conservatives that are being banned? >> so the irony here is so rich, senator. he's talking to fox about political influence. i'm sorry -- >> and fox is like the president's own private channel and he talks to the people over there. i think they're his advisors and chief of staff. it's unreal. in all sincerity, there is a serious think behind all of this. the center piece is freedom of speech and by extension freedom of the press. you got to stand up and take it on the chin when you're an elected official. he can go after the honorable john mccain, even after john di

reporter: nunes saying the lawsuit against social media sites is the first of many.ous users troll him with fake claims and face no consequences. he is asking for $250 million in damages for tweets he described as causing extreme pain and suffering. >> the case we're making this was orchestrated effort. people were targeting me. there were anonymous accounts that were developed. look, there is not supposed to be, these accounts are not supposed to exist. twitter says they don't have accounts that do this. reporter: three twitter users at the center of this lawsuit. two a anonymous parody accounts. one posing as his mom and his cow. also a republican strategist caught up in this as well. nunes claims offensive tweets harassing him online are part of a larger strategy on twitter to allow republicans to be silenced and slandered and promoting liberal posts as well. susan: hillary, thank you. connell: fedex on the move, the stock is lower. cut full year for the second time, citing weaker global trade growth. how about this from fedex. this is interesting story heading in
