RUSH TRANSCRIPT Joining us ░░░░░░░░ Monica Crowley attorney Dan ░░░░░░░░ Elizabeth who had one ░░░░░░░░ her campaign ads temporarily ░░░░░░░░ on Facebook It s ░░░░░░░░ to see all of ░░░░░░░░ Elizabeth let s start ░░░░░░░░ you because I watched ░░░░░░░░ campaign ads And you ░░░░░░░░ some images from your ░░░░░░░░ country of birth Cambodia ░░░░░░░░ the brutality of Cambodia ░░░░░░░░ Cambodian purge and Facebook ░░░░░░░░ it They said what ░░░░░░░░ you when you brought ░░░░░░░░ up This is some ░░░░░░░░ the images from the ░░░░░░░░ What did they say ░░░░░░░░ you when you brought ░░░░░░░░ up They said that ░░░░░░░░ the ad was shocking ░░░░░░░░ and too sensational to ░░░░░░░░ on Facebook And that ░░░░░░░░ absolutely maddening in so ░░░░░░░░ ways for me When ░░░░░░░░ decided to run for ░░░░░░░░ I got into the ░░░░░░░░ because I and part ░░░░░░░░ my message was that ░░░░░░░░ things can come from ░░░░░░░░ adversity My parents lived ░░░░░░░░ the genocide in Cambodia ░░░░░░░░ came to the United ░░░░░░░░ as refugees And so ░░░░░░░░ some reason Facebook found ░░░░░░░░ offensive and removed my ░░░░░░░░ to advertise the campaign ░░░░░░░░ Dan this is kind ░░░░░░░░ problematic I think our ░░░░░░░░ libertarians This is Democrats ░░░░░░░░ s amazingly quiet on ░░░░░░░░ I don t see ░░░░░░░░ on any television shows ░░░░░░░░ re too busy representing ░░░░░░░░ immigrants Where the the ░░░░░░░░ on this issues Those ░░░░░░░░ historical photos And the ░░░░░░░░ Are we not able ░░░░░░░░ talk about that I ░░░░░░░░ to restate something that ░░░░░░░░ said earlier which is ░░░░░░░░ important that none of ░░░░░░░░ companies you ring talking ░░░░░░░░ they re not state ░░░░░░░░ they re not the ░░░░░░░░ This First Amendment thing ░░░░░░░░ out the window What ░░░░░░░░ re talking about here ░░░░░░░░ decisions by companies on ░░░░░░░░ content something that Fox ░░░░░░░░ does something that every ░░░░░░░░ media outlet does And ░░░░░░░░ think for you to ░░░░░░░░ and say listen this ░░░░░░░░ all about because we ░░░░░░░░ Republicans or conservatives where ░░░░░░░░ the discrimination or the ░░░░░░░░ actions against a myriad ░░░░░░░░ leftists Left me give ░░░░░░░░ an example Well no ░░░░░░░░ isn t antifa blocked ░░░░░░░░ Facebook Why are they ░░░░░░░░ YouTube They re smashing ░░░░░░░░ Let me answer the ░░░░░░░░ Back in 2015 being ░░░░░░░░ was knocked right off ░░░░░░░░ Facebook I have a ░░░░░░░░ more liberal friends on ░░░░░░░░ Facebook feed than a ░░░░░░░░ of your viewers do ░░░░░░░░ I see them griping ░░░░░░░░ and time again every ░░░░░░░░ about Facebook knocking them ░░░░░░░░ for stupid things they ░░░░░░░░ Facebook has made a ░░░░░░░░ and it seems like ░░░░░░░░ s not that hard ░░░░░░░░ understand given the history ░░░░░░░░ the 16 billion Mr ░░░░░░░░ took a hit on ░░░░░░░░ he made a decision ░░░░░░░░ his company is going ░░░░░░░░ start making different decisions ░░░░░░░░ content than he did ░░░░░░░░ But infowars is still ░░░░░░░░ there on Instagram It ░░░░░░░░ still there on Instagram ░░░░░░░░ see no difference between ░░░░░░░░ cable channel there s ░░░░░░░░ many cable channels out ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ a cable channel and ░░░░░░░░ or Facebook or the ░░░░░░░░ apple platform worth a ░░░░░░░░ dollars Do you see ░░░░░░░░ difference as far as ░░░░░░░░ control of information Really ░░░░░░░░ s the equivalent of ░░░░░░░░ I m not really ░░░░░░░░ where you re going ░░░░░░░░ it It s about ░░░░░░░░ information What is the ░░░░░░░░ of YouTube I don ░░░░░░░░ know There isn t ░░░░░░░░ That s my point ░░░░░░░░ No no no You ░░░░░░░░ t know social media ░░░░░░░░ does not compete YouTube ░░░░░░░░ Instagram do not compete ░░░░░░░░ each other Monica you ░░░░░░░░ my point My point ░░░░░░░░ when you have an ░░░░░░░░ left wing 100 of ░░░░░░░░ Twitter employees for instance ░░░░░░░░ to that s a ░░░░░░░░ determination Twitter admitted it ░░░░░░░░ on common sense points ░░░░░░░░ the truth about this ░░░░░░░░ these Internet companies they ░░░░░░░░ giants They re behemoths ░░░░░░░░ are incredibly influential and ░░░░░░░░ And that s the ░░░░░░░░ To your point about ░░░░░░░░ the guy who used ░░░░░░░░ run tech for Twitter ░░░░░░░░ now running tech for ░░░░░░░░ Democratic National Committee just ░░░░░░░░ time for the midterm ░░░░░░░░ That s just one ░░░░░░░░ We re not talking ░░░░░░░░ particular content about infowars ░░░░░░░░ cetera What we are ░░░░░░░░ about is that a ░░░░░░░░ select companies that have ░░░░░░░░ monopolies in the digital ░░░░░░░░ are now having control ░░░░░░░░ the information that is ░░░░░░░░ to you And it ░░░░░░░░ only going to get ░░░░░░░░ So we are now ░░░░░░░░ this slippery slope Laura ░░░░░░░░ they re controlling the ░░░░░░░░ website and so on ░░░░░░░░ go a couple of ░░░░░░░░ down the road or ░░░░░░░░ a shorter time period ░░░░░░░░ they those leftist overlords ░░░░░░░░ the digital sphere will ░░░░░░░░ able to deem anything ░░░░░░░░ they consider unacceptable and ░░░░░░░░ s a subjective standard ░░░░░░░░ for consumption whether that ░░░░░░░░ statements about Islamic fundamentalism ░░░░░░░░ pro life Support for ░░░░░░░░ police They will be ░░░░░░░░ to use a sliding ░░░░░░░░ based on what they ░░░░░░░░ is appropriate rather than ░░░░░░░░ First Amendment standard And ░░░░░░░░ is a very dark ░░░░░░░░ dangerous place for this ░░░░░░░░ to be Mark Zuckerberg ░░░░░░░░ questioned about this by ░░░░░░░░ Cruz back in April ░░░░░░░░ he said look there ░░░░░░░░ no bias but we ░░░░░░░░ going to have standards ░░░░░░░░ place Let s watch ░░░░░░░░ a great many Americans ░░░░░░░░ appears to be a ░░░░░░░░ pattern of political bias ░░░░░░░░ you agree with that ░░░░░░░░ understand where that concern ░░░░░░░░ coming from Facebook and ░░░░░░░░ tech industry is located ░░░░░░░░ the Silicon Valley which ░░░░░░░░ an extremely left leaning ░░░░░░░░ I try to make ░░░░░░░░ that we don t ░░░░░░░░ any bias in the ░░░░░░░░ that we do And ░░░░░░░░ think it is a ░░░░░░░░ concern that people would ░░░░░░░░ about That was a ░░░░░░░░ of candor from Zuckerberg ░░░░░░░░ who has spent anytime ░░░░░░░░ Silicon Valley it s ░░░░░░░░ political monolith I know ░░░░░░░░ are conservatives there but ░░░░░░░░ probably hide their views ░░░░░░░░ literally do not want ░░░░░░░░ say they re a ░░░░░░░░ when they work there ░░░░░░░░ they probably will lose ░░░░░░░░ jobs I ve literally ░░░░░░░░ those xaents Comments It ░░░░░░░░ undeniable that Facebook has ░░░░░░░░ that lean towards and ░░░░░░░░ those that have more ░░░░░░░░ tendencies and their algorithms ░░░░░░░░ promote those such as ░░░░░░░░ Schumer Nancy Pelosi Why ░░░░░░░░ it take five days ░░░░░░░░ the whole national movement ░░░░░░░░ Facebook to respond to ░░░░░░░░ ad here This is ░░░░░░░░ story This is the ░░░░░░░░ in which I told ░░░░░░░░ they I am assuming ░░░░░░░░ concerns with in the ░░░░░░░░ of it where it ░░░░░░░░ glimpses of genocide Those ░░░░░░░░ just photos You think ░░░░░░░░ re being targeted as ░░░░░░░░ Asian conservative candidate in ░░░░░░░░ California because you represent ░░░░░░░░ dangerous possibility for the ░░░░░░░░ Is that what you ░░░░░░░░ saying Yeah We constantly ░░░░░░░░ this time and time ░░░░░░░░ with conservatives that from ░░░░░░░░ tech giants that the ░░░░░░░░ that are in place ░░░░░░░░ not support conservative ideologies ░░░░░░░░ important part about all ░░░░░░░░ this is is it ░░░░░░░░ important to have diverse ░░░░░░░░ thoughts on there We ░░░░░░░░ this is not the ░░░░░░░░ More speech is better ░░░░░░░░ everybody Dan go ahead ░░░░░░░░ today 43 of Republicans ░░░░░░░░ Trump s idea of ░░░░░░░░ down media outlets that ░░░░░░░░ t behave This goes ░░░░░░░░ ways and this is ░░░░░░░░ a Republican versus a ░░░░░░░░ issue You mentioned the ░░░░░░░░ I know they do ░░░░░░░░ like any infringement on ░░░░░░░░ speech related They re ░░░░░░░░ They re focusing on ░░░░░░░░ immigration and partisan issues ░░░░░░░░ real quick We ve ░░░░░░░░ 30 seconds I really ░░░░░░░░ for Elizabeth because she ░░░░░░░░ trying to tell the ░░░░░░░░ of her family the ░░░░░░░░ dream But as she ░░░░░░░░ out they ve got ░░░░░░░░ algorithms They re clearly ░░░░░░░░ in a certain direction ░░░░░░░░ then there s a ░░░░░░░░ barrier of actual human ░░░░░░░░ who are trying to ░░░░░░░░ these and artificial intelligence ░░░░░░░░ So those people are ░░░░░░░░ the left.
