this has been -- representative steve scalise. this has been happening for years. it is something platforms need to do a little better job of reviewing internally and discussing with people who have those concerns. host: big tech regulation is what we are talking about. if you support more of it, (202) 748-8000. if you oppose more of it, (202) 748-8001. good morning. caller: what i was going to say if people don't like what is on the platform, they don't need regulation. it is a consumer item. you go to another platform. when you sign up for a platform, like facebook or twitter, before you even get onto the platform, you agree to the rules. it is not your platform to be like, i disagree with it. leave it. don't try to regulate something that belongs to somebody. it is not a public platform. it is something you went to and you agreed to follow the rules on the platform. host: bret jacobson? guest: i think that is right. one thing i hear frequently is this concern from conservatives that if the platform or if they do not want to be on a particular platform, they have

joining me is steve scalise and charlie hurt.ontributing to the growing perception in america there are 2 sets of rules for the elite and for everyone else. we are reading hunter biden's own texts. >> there are a number of serious concerns raised when you read that political article. it mentions multiple violations of federal law not the least of which if he lied about drug use on the federal form and throwing a gun in the trash can. if you read the article about the conversations with police, it sounds like he was getting testy with police because they were asking him basic questions. there were slurs made about people here from mexico. a lot of things in the police report that are alarming. president biden is talking about passing more gun control and yet you have a case of his son who broke multiple laws and gets off scot-free. what is the secret service have to do with it this? it joe biden didn't have secret service protection at the time but they tried to pull the gun records from the gun store. luckily the gun store owner

congressman steve scalise joins us. idy, steve, who was on this show last week saying, president trump, donald trump will not be the republican nominee in 2024. what do you say? you're also from louisiana. you're also a republican. what do you say? >> well, stuart i think you saw from yesterday's cpac speech that president trump is still the one who gets the most enthusiasm from republicans. he keeps them guessing right now but look, he's still the most vocal voice and the leader of our party who is going to play an important role, number one, in us getting the house back next year and president trump made that very clear. he wants us to fire nancy pelosi and win back the house but ultimately he will be actively involved in making sure we win the white house back in four years. whatever role he chooses to play is up to him. he has got a lot of options and an incredible amount of support amongst the base of the republican party. stuart: well do you think that the republican party can take back the house and or the white h

joining me now is steve scalise. house minority whip. congressman, i keep thinking i'm going to be less upset by d.c. because i lived in d.c. 30 years almost off and on. i'm so disgusted by this, i can't even see straight i'm so upset about it. she just embarrassed herself because these claims were wild conspiracy theories about a coming post january 6 insurrection. we all know it's phony and they're still getting away with it. >> yeah, laura, what you're seeing is a movement to paint every trump supporter, every republican as a threat to america. frankly, if you look at why they did some of these things where they compressed votes yesterday to not be voting today, it was very quiet today, we were supposed to be voting but during the daytime, we would have been voting today on a bill that speaker pelosi brought that would have gotten rid of qualified immunity, which is another method of defunding police. they brought that bill not today during the day but brought it at 11:00 p.m. last night. last week, when they brought their $1.9 trilli

can you imagine the two cops, think when steve scalise was shot on that ball field.iterally -- two capitol police officers now walking in an open field against a rifle. okay. you and i are both trained in the use of firearms. i've been a marksman since i was a kid going against a rifle when a guy is camouflaged, hidden. you're in the open field. the odds are 99.9% the rifleca will win that -- under that scenario. they did it anyway i or the cops on 9-11 and the firemen and the paramedics and every other first responder. everybody else is racing to get the hell out of there. they're going up in the other direction. now we're going to defund the police, disparage the police, quiet all summer long as they're hit with rocks, bricks and molotov cocktails and some dead as a result.d >> yeah. sean, listen, none of them are getting rich all of this. they're not doing it for the fame, the notoriety and the basket of riches that they get at the end of the day. you know, i never get to say this on your show. one of the greatest lines that i heard from the spouse of a police off

they're going to be regulated, i thought steve scalise brought up a couple of really important pointsare where certain regulations would apply or is it just a private company that can publish whatever it wants? it can publish all liberal views, but the idea that there would be competitors to twitter, that's what steve scalise was predicting, that will be interesting to see if that happened. >> bret: byron, your thoughts? >> the idea behind the public square thing is if twitter or facebook are making editorial decisions, then they should be treated as if they were publishers, and not just platforms. people wanted to see more censorship, many democrats wanted to see more of that, and people wanted to see less censorship in the case that you solve representative's kelis talking to jack dorsey. this whole issue is just completely unresolved on what happens when social media companies edit their product. >> bret: i want to finish where we started, and talk about the filibuster. we just dug out this sunday, this is senator obama on the senate floor. >> american people, they are appear to be

joining me now is house minority whip steve scalise.st a bad dream, all of it, but they don't seem to be concerned about guns falling into the hands of certain wrong people. >> good to be with you, laura. i wish it was a bad dream and this is just one more step in nancy pelosi's socialist agenda that she's pushing through the house with the complicity of all of house democrats who continue to vote to take away more of our rights. today they went after our gun rights with the bill to make it harder for law-abiding citizens to get guns. as your last guest mentioned, every day in america people use guns to save the lives of themselves and their families and yet this bill would make it much harder. in fact right now there's a three-day waiting period. this could make it open-ended, there could be no limit to how many days unelected bureaucrats held up her application to get a gun if you're an american citizen. however, we have the amendment, as you mentioned, that some here illegally and tried to buy a gun illegally, that name should be tur

what's your message to republicans like minority whip steve scalise who says this bill is simply tooand will leave the next generation of americans with, quote, mountains of debt? >> i would say to mr. scalise, the mountain of debt that we ought to be worried about is that $2 trillion tax cut that he and his republican friends gave to the upper two or 3%, maybe 10% of the american people. the fact of the matter is, that $2 trillion did nothing for the people whose lives we now have to rescue. he is the reason in large measure for what we're going through today. so i would say to him that over 60% of republicans out here, 71% of independents all support this legislation. just because we can't get the partisans on capitol hill to vote for it, doesn't mean we aren't doing it for republicans out in hither lands. that's what joe biden said from the get-go, he was going to be as much of a president for those who voted against him as he is for those who voted for him. >> that's what the recent public opinion polls show, that there's a lot of support out there for this, even though there's n
