and the help of the fbi. elon musk said if you shut down dissenting voicing, that's by very definition of election interference and they were asked of the nothing burger and had a great answer and said they're all complicit in lying to the american public and that they're acting as propaganda arm of the democratic party. do you agree with elon musk and is all of that true and is our fbi. did the media collude and see a story of construction and joe and hunter bide anne donovan the weeks leading up to 2020 -- biden in the weeks leading up to 2020 election and the people that know about it and did that impact the elections, sir? >> yeah, the story should have been out there and no reason for this to be bottled up and fbi laid the ground work and elvis chance's sworn deposition and he said they were having monthly and weekly meetings and knew the hunter biden laptop wasn't hacked material and they specifically said according to twitter's integrity guy, roth, they mentioned the hunter biden story. that's just nut

fbi pressures twitter? >> all twitter files yet with the fbi's infiltration of twitter to sensor americans. that included censoring our hunter biden laptop story, c accurate story, they characterized it as hacked material that came from russia, that is what they told twitter and facebook and others. what is interesting, is that the aspen institute. was involved in a desktop exercise in 2020, part of the grooming operation by fbi to make sure that twitter employees when they saw our hunter biden laptop story would recognize it has a warning about hacked material from russia. it was false and a lie. that is what they were doing, prebunking our story, aspen institute had a lot of specifics, they invited journalists from "new york times" and "washington post" to attending and twitter employees, they did a hypothetical that hunter biden there was laptop material about hunter biden or derogatory material about him taking breaks from ukraine, they made it out to be a -- by russians, a month later it was easy for b

how can the fbi -- how can a unit, some people inside the fbi, i don't think this is the whole fbi. how can anybody inside the fbi try to interfere an election like this by suppressing information? the fbi's job is to investigate crimes. it is not to put his finger on the scale of american elections for or against anybody. it's not to put its finger on the scale of whether somebody's engaging in quote-unquote disinformation. it's none of the fbi's business. this is extraordinarily worrisome to see that the tentacles, the fbi, elements have extended into twitter. even twitter is starting to resist the fbi in some ways. they were so worried about the fbi's overreaching. this is extraordinary. >> pete: senator, it's exactly right .1. put her execs are saying are we supposed to be doing this but they almost moved them and paid for it. there was a carrot and stick approach. is this how washington works? is this an outlier? >> i hope it's an outlier. we've heard many times government agencies say we don't have any influence over the private sector at all. how many times have we heard that

at the same time, the fbi assigned up to 80 fbi agents to spy on americans and their social media accounts. to gather a master list of people to be black listed. talk about pressure. they basically convinced twitter, for example, to ban people whose opinions they didn'ts like. they were always one sided in favor of liberals and against conservatives. given the background of the fbi during the russia hoax and what they did and the wrongdoing, it doesn't surprise me. does it you? >> not anymore. it would have a couple of years ago. now 2016 you had the fbi, with james comey clearing hillary clinton only to reopen the investigation a couple of days before the election. both sides hated that. the fbi doing things base odds their own opinions than following the law. -- based on and 2020the hunter laptop story. the american media needs to say there needs to be serious investigations to recreate all of the intelligence agencies from the inside-out. like we did after watergate back in the '70s. we see the american med ia, you would think the free press would slower this story based on twitter dump

he titled the release the fbi and the hunter biden laptop and how the fbi and intelligence community discredited factual information and then he goes on shellenberger tweets about the delaware computer shop owner who contacted the fbi in late 2019 about hunter biden's laptop. the fbi took the laptop, took possession of it in december of 2019. shellenberger then reports by august 2020 the shop owner had not heard back from the fbi so he gave a copy of the laptop to trump confidante rudy giuliani who then, in turn, gave that information to the "new york post." shellenberger reports the fbi asked twitter to provide information without search warrants. on october 13th, 2020, an fbi special agent in the san francisco office sent 10 documents to twitter's head of site integrity yoel roth a name we have heard through tele porter one way channel from the fbi to twitter. roth was part of a virtual war room with twitter and other fbi employees. now, bret, what we don't know what was in those documents sent. we do know the next day the "new york post" ran this dover, the now infamous cover bide

well fbi is responding to elon musk's exposing the twitter files fbi claims they did not request employees to take action on hunter biden's laptop, the bureau says they did not send the twitter any quote specific instructions or deals regarding hunter biden story evidence of influence peddling on it, it is you haven't conspiracy theorists others feeding pub misinformation with soul purpose to discredit he the agency that is not true joining the conversation dagen mcdowell, mark tepper lee carter they get away calling it conspiracy theorists because they say its maim mainstream media will go along. dagen: fbi official responding to fox news, said that the phrase used the phrase specific instructions or detail there is wiggle room there they did not say that they didn't provide any information whatsoever, to twitter. about hunter biden. i will note now try to be specific when i was explaining this the other did, one viewer said i wasn't making sense, i am -- call me nasty name but the timeline of this, when talking specifically about elvis chan, fbi special agent communicating with the head

in a statement to fox news the fbi says quote, the correspondence between the fbi and twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, long-standing and ongoing federal government and private sector engagement. it is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the american public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency. republican congressman jim comer says he wants to withhold funding to the fbi until the gop house majority can hold heres next year. >> one way we get the fbi in front of the committee really quick i, saying we're not giving you a penny until you all come down here to explain to us what this task force was, why you told twitter to suppress the hunter biden laptop story when you knew darn well it was true? >> reporter: fbi officials claim they did not provide twitter with any specific instructions or details regarding the hunter biden laptop story. liz? elizabeth: lucas tomlinson, great reporting as always. great to see you, my friend. welcome to the white house former white house advisor mercedes schlapp. good t

that's why he took it to the fbi. now we know they buried it from the fbi whistleblowers. so listening to giuliani and looking at his e-mail and spying on the text message they saw the e-mail august 2020 so they knew the cat was out of the bag. and then they had access to my messages with rudy giuliani so they knew exactly when the post would be publishing in october so they bumped the story with twitter and we can only assume with faith —- with facebook as well because zuckerberg said they gave information. >> everyone needs to check out your story tomorrow. it was plush in the first at getting the accountability is the information out there. we wil as a business owner, your bottom line is always top of mind. so start saving by switching to the mobile service designed for small business: comcast business mobile. flexible data plans mean you can get unlimited data or pay by the gig. all on the most reliable 5g network. with no line activation fees or term contracts. saving you up to 60% a year. and it's only available to comcast business internet customers. so boost your

former fbi officials. particularly jim baker psychiatry strenuously argued for the censorship on the hunter biden laptop and the emails which showed these very questionable business dealings with china and other countries. >> brian: went on to say in the end the fbi's influence campaign aimed at executives at news media, twitter and other social media companies worked. they censored and discredit the hunter biden laptop story. they were also poised to discredit the vice president's link to the burisma story when he was briefed by, thanks to hunter biden hag a meeting with the vice president and hires him on wures that. he was being investigated by a prosecutor in ukraine month the vice president goes to the ukraine and says this guy has to be fired and bragged about it at a conference the other day. >> rachel: impeached a president over something true. undue influence that the vice president and hunter biden had in burisma and -- can i say one more thing. >> brian: go ahead. >> rachel: they also accused se

fbi. and he asks this important question: with what other firm would the fbi lively agree to no impediments to classified information? now, the fbi, of course, is responding in absolutely predictable language. the fbi regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identify foreign malign influence actors, subversive, undeclared, covert or criminal activities. private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after of the fbi has -- after the fbi notifies them. that is exactly the language we see a lot of here in the nation's capital. however, what they didn't say is why they felt it necessary to put the weight of fbi on the scales of information before, during and after a presidential election. and as you know, all this is now happening as republicans say the agency has a lot to answer for, and they hope and expect to get those answers when hay take control of the house --

the fbi. the and then baker threw all caution to the wind, reportedly disseminated hillary clinton's dirty disinformationclinton', rn dossier to the entire media. this is the same dirty put together by ex foreign spy christopher steele. on behalf of the dnc and the clinton campaign. it could not be karabo created or verified even after the fbi offered steele $1 million in early october of 2016 to back up anything or prove or corroborate anything in cos claims. now, that's because the dossier was always made up. it was a farce, unverified and unverifiable. itunveri is filled to the brim with actual russian disinformation o bar talr bar t, as they called it. but that did not stop the fbi from using a dossier on four separate fisa warrants to gain access. the the trump campaign, their transition team and the trump white hous whitee. even after steele couldn't corroborate it and collect his million dollars ml ands. source and then after his main source, dan chanko, said it was false and said it wa

. >> so you turned it over to the fbi. then what happened? did they continue to talk to you and bring you in and explain to you what you had? >> no. they took the laptop and the paperwork and they backup drive on december 9, 2019. i got a phone call neighbor two weeks later just seeing if anybody had come in and collected. nobody had. that was the last i heard from the fbi. >> martha: all right. so now when you look at the back and forth between twitter and their discussions about what they should do with this because they were concerned that it was hacked material, did you ever think that someone had planted this laptop on you or that it was part of some sort of disinformation campaign, opposition sort of effort? >> well, no. i've heard those rumors paraded around. i had no doubt in my mind that the person that came in to my shop with those devices was the same person that was starring in a lot of the homemade material that was on the computer. i had no doubt in my mind. when i went to pursue clearing my name and pursuing

you mentioned the fbi. the fbi, three of the last four directors have misled the american people while under congressional oath. and in the case of andrew mccabe he has lied four times to federal investigators. they have had an fbi lawyer forge a document. they have misled a fisa court. they have suppressed the laptop they knew was authentic and gave the impression that it wasn't. they hired a contractor at twitter and another one, christopher steele to basically suppress free expression. basically rewarding them that headquarters should not be built anywhere near washington. it should be put in pennsylvania or ohio or salt lake city. away from these people that are so incestuous. and then sanctuary cities are an open defiance of the law and giving money to them to help accommodate illegal immigration. it doesn't make any sense. and, i don't know whether the intent was to insult people, but my gosh, when you are rewarding a building named after nancy pelosi, when she is the first speaker in u.s. history to

and demands the fbi's putting on them. this is all going on behind the scenes. where are they supposed to go? if you're upset with the fbi and the democrats are in charge, where are you supposed to go to complain. maybe that explains why jack dorsey said why don't you had buy this and deal with it. now all this stuff is exposed and now the republicans definitely have a lead path to go after the ceos and question the ceos of meta and google and all the other entities they own from instagram to snapchat and saying were you getting the same type of pressure you were getting and they can pull up full screens instead of hypotheticals. i'll tell you exactly, it is at hard to believe they were just focusing on twitter. >> rachel: bring in christopher wray. >> brian: he keeps saying he doesn't know anything. >> rachel: it's impossible he doesn't know 80 agents were working with twitter and asking these questions. and by the way there were weekly calls. so these are -- this is the information. >> brian: it's more than weekly. >> ra

fbi agents? what if they all have their hands in political corruption? terry churchy is the former fbi assistant director who led the unabomber case how bad is it terry? >> it's very, very bad, jesse. we like to think in the fbi you can go out and find the smoking gun and solve something. in this case the fbi is the smoking gun. the fbi is the agency of the u.s. government stood between twitter private company in silicon valley and essentially the white house and the rest of the government the people in power twitter had a platform to get information out to the public. in this instance or could have gotten information out on the hunter biden laptop. who knows how history might have been changed had that happened? on the other side of the fbi was the white house and people in power who didn't want that information out. and i believe the fbi was long had for decades that's part of what it does looks for hostile intelligence service activity in areas of high tech like the silicon valley. but, in thi

that goes back to a politicized fbi. big government, big media collusion to alter the course of an election. >> to your point, the journalist that revealed these files said that twitter was essentially acting as a subsidiary of the fbi. the fbi, of course, pushed back. after we give them the information, we don't control what they do. this will be the focus of an investigation when you guys take over. what do you guys hope to accomplish out of it? >> to that point on the statement, it is notable what was not in that statement. there was no we are taking this seriously. we are looking into this. we are investigating internally. perhaps in some cases we went beyond the remit of florida election interference. there is none of that in there. the good old boys circling the wagons and not even a hint of a an admission that maybe they should look into their own behavior. election interference being a premise of this. former dni radcliffe holding a press conference with chris ray and talking about the iranians pretending to be t

>> so, it would be under fbi? >> or, to the extent that the remedies might be some part of the justice department outside the fbi, that could also be a possibility. then, there may be a state department mentioned this, that we're looking into. >> when you know they're here, do you know if they are surveilling u.s. citizens? do you know that yet? do you have enough information to know if they are? >> again, i don't want to get too far into our ongoing investigative work, but as i said, we have seen plenty of situations, plenty of situations, in the past, where the chinese government, under the pretext of going after corruption, have essentially used that as a vehicle to surveil. we've had situations where they have planted bugs inside americans cars, for example. and one of the things we are seeing more and more is them hiring private investigators here in the u.s. to essentially be there agents, if you, well to conduct some of this work. this is something we are trying to call out, and it's important that chinese

it's the fbi. it is the fbi stepping in and dictating what, you know, is said on social media, so what are fbi whistleblowers saying? i mean james baker shows up at twitter five months before the 2020 election, after he was a top fbi democrat guy on debunked trump russia, michael flynn, hillary clinton campaigns , fbi contact, to get the debunked trump russia alpha bank story in so you know what i mean? >> no, i know. liz: so this is a first amendment violation. >> well of course. liz: this is the bedrock of what a u.s. , of what democracy is. it's about the first amendment, period. >> right, and now we're learning the central players a guy who when he was at the fbi as chief counsel was involved in the trump russia spying all that baloney. he was the guy that took the information from zussman, clinton's lawyer about the alpha bank hoax and scam. then he goes to twitter suppress es the information in 2020. liz: but what are fbi khanas telling you? sorry this is serious stuff. what is fbi whistleblo

it is about fbi complicity. biden campaign, white house, president, hunter biden never denied the laptop was hunter biden's. the media has been downplaying it, not putting out naked pictures of hunter biden. that is not the story. >> right. elizabeth: the media authenticated hunter biden's laptop. you've been talking about garden-variety of corruption and joe biden and the biden family making millions of dollars selling the power and access of biden's u.s. government job with connections to china, russia, ukraine and more. that's the story. >> that is exactly the story and the investigation is an investigation of joe biden. the laptop just happens to be a significant part of the evidence. the reason joe biden, the biden campaign, the democrat national committee and unfortunately the fbi were so concerned about the laptop is because of the contents of the laptop. the laptop proves that joe biden knew very well the shady business dealings that his son and brother were involved in. it also implies that joe biden wa

and we need an fbi we really do. but this fbi is out of control. it is doing things, that congress never granted the authority to do, no way, shape or form should government be in the business of censoring free speech whether liberal or conservative speech that is just something the government should not do. but to dedicate a task force of at least 80 employees to do nothing but communicate social media sights telling twhaem to suppress a violation of the constitution to think that as we speak, the senate sitting here giving them more money, for the next 12 months tiling hands in our ability to get the fbi in front of the committee, one way we could get fbi in front of the committee really quickly say we're not giving you a penny until you all come down here and explain to us, what this task force was why you told twitter to have suppress the hunter biden laptop story when you knew darn well it was true. the senate is counter to everything we're trying to do in the house from oversight standpoint right now especially with respect to the fbi. >> tha

per usual the fbi -- he's saying the fbi has to be dismantled, the fbi has admitted no wrongdoing let me start with this. they have admitted no wrongdoing -- why would they? writing in a statement the bureau regularly engages with private sector entities that make decisions about what if any action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the fbi has notified them. fox news contributor jonathan turley, what is your reaction to that kind of statement with what we know now from this recent drop of the twitter files? >> was disturbing about this statement is it shows absolutely no self-awareness of what has already been disclosed. it's showing utter contempt of the american people. the fbi could have said we find these allegations disturbing, we are going to conduct our own immediate investigation to see if these types of contacts went too far and instead they say we did nothing but correspond with companies, that is not what these new files are suggesting, they are suggesting censorship by surrogates, by proxy. you have dozens of fbi agents who supposedly were tasked t

it involved, you know, according to fbi whistleblowers, fbi agents. of course, it involved twitter. putting not just their thumb on the scale but the entire hand on the scale to mislead the american people in the weeks and months preceding a presidential election. >> a sad state of affairs this weekend. more twitter files revealed with more evidence of the fbi directing twitter which accounts to censor and which narratives to amplify. house republicans are set to launch multiple investigations in the coming weeks into the origins of covid-19. the funding of the deadly viruses and the clear abuse of power and collusion between the fbi and social media companies to change an election. joining me right now is a ranking member of the house intelligence committee. mike turner. expected to be the chairman of the committee wants the republicans take the majority. it is great to see you this morning. thank you for being here. these are all tall orders. i want to ask you about this abuse of power. you will have oversight of these agencies. what is your priority and how will you use subpoena

so there's a fact pattern here that suggests influence operation rage by the fbi and by fbi allies and attired fbi executive and obviously we do not have the proof of the subpoena power but i think there's more than enough spoke here for the congress and perhaps the special counsel to investigate the fire. >> kim are you surprised that the aggressive nature of which the fbi attacked back at communications that guys like michael, at matt taibbi just brought following the very whites, just brought forward? i was surprised because it looks like your wrath, that right wing zealot who ran, was the officer and pretty much in charge of twitter being sarcastic, he said under sworn testimony that the fbi told about hunter biden's laptop emergency specifically that he never happened. >> i mean, how disconnected can you beat. this is an fbi that we now know has interfered into presidential elections. okay, if you want to remind her about just how much interviewed in 2016 go take a look at some of those john durham transcripts from the trials. it was over-the-top. this is also an fbi dead lights a

the fbi. the company under new ownership of elon musk's posting that information again this evening through another journalist. our correspondent is with us tonight with the latest. >> good evening. these came out just a couple of hours ago, they seem to be dumping out every few days. as you mentioned, part six of the twitter files released this afternoon. it was a series of 44 tweets. it is clear that independent journalist -- matt taibbi with the blessing of elon musk's painting the narrative of a cozy relationship between twitter and the fbi. let's take a look. this is reporting from matt taibbi, information that he is presenting. between january 2020 and november 2022, there were over 150 emails between the fbi and the former twitter trusted safety chief while roth. the fbi social media task force known as f tif, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled up to 80 agents, so corresponding twitter to identify this influence and election tampering of all kinds. federal intelligence an

and now it seems the fbi is manipulating him, doing what he thinks the fbi is telling him to do, what would be best and in fact it's the fbi driving this. >> john: to your point, he wrote it's important to understand that hunter biden earned tens of millions in contracts with foreign businesses, including the chinese government, hunter offered no real work and yet during all of 2020 the fbi and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly primed roth from twitter to dismiss reports of hunter biden's laptop as a russian hack and leak operation. there is the programming right there. >> and we have known, we have always known the fbi physically had the laptop at this time, they got it in 2019 from the repair shop owner, so the fbi had it, they knew or should have known that it was not russian disinformation. they also had rudy giuliani under surveillance. giuliani got the laptop, the laptop information, and he gave it to the post for political reasons. obviously he wanted to hurt the biden campaign. but it was accurate information and it wasn't russian disinformation. >> john: although the

we know the fbi paid twitter $3.5 million. of icials are not denying -- officials are not denying that. they said we can did pay twitter but we're calling it a he a reimbursement for response a legal process. they say twitter is not the only company they paid. had they must have paid the social media companies to p censor the biden laptop story and the evidence on it that showed influence peddling. your thoughts? >> well, i think this all starts to emerge, it really shocks the conscious of most people and for those of us who have followed this story as an election law matter and as was brought as a complaint to the federal election commission alleging this is an in kind contribution and it's coming out on the flip side as the louisiana and missouri attorneys general are coming at it from the first amachinedment side, starting to -- amendment side it's starting to come out and come together. the public is seeing this for the first time. i think most people are astounded to learn that the fbi was engaged in such a cozy relations

in response, the fbi shared this statement. quote: the fbi regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identify foreign malign influence actors, subversive, undeclared, covert or criminal activities. private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the fbi has notified them. elon musk has been defending his position on free speech after suspending a handful of well known journalists who he says violated a new rule about a sharing individuals' realtime locations. musk ran a poll asking twitter when he should unsuspend those users. musk followed up with the people have spoken, accounts who doxxed my location will have their suspension lifted now. in terms of the twitter files, the document dumps, they've been taking place for over two weeks now. yesterday musk signaled that they may be done for now. will, rachel, pete. rachel: alexandria, thank you so much. pete: yeah. and those revelations ended on, if

fbi agent passed to twitter higher-ups. twitter replied with what accounts an tweets were suspended or deleted. this has gotten attention of the republicans who will take control of the house majority in february. they say they will use the subpoena power to get answer. >> we'll do more than just subpoena them. we'll change the course of where the fbi is today. if you look the fbi, every day we learn something more. they became and could private companies become a political arm of them? to go after individuals with no repercussions for individuals that know what's happening but it raises more questions. >> reporter: the fbi says their engagement with twitter was routine, saying in a statement, the fbi regularly engages with private sector entities, private sector entities independently make decisions what if any action they take on their platforms and for their customers. after the fbi has notified them but this latest release just this afternoon, gerry, clearly details an outsized effort by the intelligence community to tr

if i didn't believe in the fbi i would never have fon to the fbi. i just didn't trust the fbi. there are two different things. so i would still like to have, give the opportunity to the fbi to revisit this issue and clear their name. rachel: interesting. pete: john paul mac isaac. what is the book again real quick? >> "american injustice," my battle to expose the truth. pete: sounds like a good christmas gift with 21 days left. rachel: sure does. sure does. pete: thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. pete: this is the most troubling part to me what he laid out, the fbi knew exactly what they had in their possession. they knew it wasn't hacked. they knew it wasn't russian. which means when all the former intelligence agency leaders came out wrote the letter this is misinformation, they knew, they would have known. they knew when they were meeting with twitter and facebook before the election, there is a leak and dump coming out a leak and dump coming out as opposed they knew was verified was hunter bidens. they did it for political materials. will: they called it hack

was twitter working for the fbi or was fbi working for twitter? i don't know. the fbi was demanding twitter sensor jokes. look at this tweet. "a proposed container ship if there is a worldwide recession." why does the federal bureau of investigation care about jokes? were they offended? sex traffickers or hatching plots, the fbi has through social media for punch lines. then saying "we are busy, can you bother facebook?" and they said "yes, sir, whatever you want me to do." even when twitter scrambled for some justification for these suandstupid requests, the fbi ge them homeland security mumbo-jumbo about russian disinformation, domestic violence extremists, and it worked like a charm. every time, accounts got nuked. there were a few russian bots in 2016. remember the robots that hillary said cost for the election? the fbi reacted this way. they cranked up a task force with 80 agents assigned to twitter headquarters, 80 agents. the fbi had more agents at twitter that i am twitter had lobbyists at d.c. the fbi, taking in person meetings every week, handing over

reporter: the fbi says their engagement with twitter was routine saying this the fbi regularly engages with private sector entities, private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms, and for their customers after the fbi has notified them but david, in many of these cases, these files reveal that the fbi was flagging tweets from accounts that had very few followers and a lot of the offending tweets were actually jokes. david? david: unbelievable. hillary thank you very much. congressman mike waltz, the republican from florida joins me now. congressman, you know, if this was too much even for yule roth who was a severe critic of donald trump in the 2020 elections, i mean, isn't that a direct violation of the first amendment where you have the fbi demanding social media to print stuff that in many cases was false? >> yeah, david. i think this is just the tip of the iceberg that we're seeing, and thankfully, elon musk is shining a spotlight on all of this , but how wide did this go and how deep did this go? what was the involveme

but you mentioned at the beginning the abuses by the fbi. any malfeasance and malpractice basically of fbi agents and all of these others. we should not leave out here whoever the special agent is in charge of the fbi field office who had an ethical obligation when called by the justice department and told we want 25 of your agents showing up with guns drawn should have said no. that is an overuse of force. it is dangerous, that should not happen. and yet what did the agent in charge of that office do? went right along with ember that shows another defect not just for the justice department also the fbi. >> when they ask you a couple of other questions and about can feel free to jump in and i will direct the first question to andy. the face act has a provision of protecting expressive conduct in peaceful picketing or other peoples demonstrations. states explicitly the law cannot be used to interfere with activities that are protected by the first amendment. clearly you think that provision is not robust enough. do you think this provision ne

do you want to live in the country where the fbifbi fbi tamfbi fbi tampers p>> he's making the decisid then we are all made aware. wait a minute, this guy jim is jim baker and elon fires him yesterday. i want to know did jim baker hide anything and will we see it all and will musk dig deeper into e-mails and others. some of these people throw away their phone and get new phones. i don't know if we'll find out all the answers. tucker carlson's originals. we have a clip from biden inc. the impact of hunter's scandal and how this affects biden's win. >> the person would follow out a favorite and they would air brush the person out. they air brush the hunter biden story out of the image people have. >> polls taken after the 2020 election shows that 80% of vot vote vovoters vot vote vovo including a major democrats believe the outcome of the election would be different if coverage of biden's laptop had been, quote, censored. it was not disinformation, he was authentic. it was too late. biden had already won. they got what they wanted. >> tucker, we know covering the news for years right bef

the fbi's collusion with big tech exposed. elon musk releasing the so called twitter files, internal communications surrounding twiter's decision to censor hunter biden's laptop content leading up to the 2020 election. the fbi met with social media weekly in the months leading up to the election that the hunter biden story should be censored immediately. james comer on sunday morning futures told me it has likely gotten even worse since then with the current h administratin likely still doing it. >> we're pretty confident that numerous officials within the federal government have been communicating on behalf of the biden white house to twitter as to what a they can censor and what they cannot, who they can ban and who they cannot. th rs ethical issues. the 2020 stuff he released with the democrat national committee with the laptop story that raises campaign finance violations. maria: kevin mccarthy told me google and facebook are next to probe on their own censorship. i'll be speaking with john paul mcisaac this morning, the r
