well forget about whether the president is going after John Brennan's free
speech today a look at whether social media is doing the same to yours welcome
everybody happy Saturday on the old Cavuto live this morning and focused on
a series of tweets for the President of the United States this morning at issue
who is really censoring whom now to hear the president tell it he's not the
problem the media is and more to the point social media is that's to silence
conservative opinion not so fast to rein in any other opinion and specifically
again the president laments the selective rage over what does and does
not constitute bias to Elsa Barbara with the president of Berkeley Heights New
Jersey on the tweets they're already creating a storm Ellison Heaney oh yeah
president Trump is accusing social media in general of discriminating against
conservative voices specifically Republican and conservative voices
speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump administration he says quote we
won't let that happen they are closing down the opinions of many people on the
right while at the same time doing nothing to others in a second tweet II
called censorship a very dangerous thing and absolutely impossible to police in a
third tweet he continued quote too many voices are being destroyed some good and
some bad and that cannot be allowed to happen who is making the choices because
I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made I've reached out
to the White House to ask for clarification on those tweets and
specifically what the president meant if he is calling for or planning to call
for any official action in regards to these allegations so far we have not
heard back from the White House but this is not a new issue for Republicans in
the past an issue that has come up is so-called shadow banning President Trump
spoke out against what he saw as unfair treatment of conservative voices in the
social media world Republicans claimed that their tweets were being secretly
hidden from other Twitter users Twitter said that this was an issue with their
search algorithm essentially a tech issue and that they fixed
they denied any sort of shadow banning and said they identified an issue where
some accounts weren't Auto suggested and searched even when people were searching
for their specific name but they said that it only impacted those Auto search
suggestions some lawmakers wanted Twitter CEO to appear on Capitol Hill
and testify about that specific issue in September Jack Dorsey is expected to
appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee but in regards to Russian
interference in u.s. elections top executives from Facebook are also
expected to be there again the focuses on election interference foreign actors
trying to interfere in US elections but as is often the case with hearings on
Capitol Hill Neal a lawmaker sometimes asked about other things and if the
president keeps tweeting about this there's probably a good chance this
issue could come up in that September hearing I think there's an excellent
chance of that Ellison thank you very very much Ellison Barbara with the
president New Jersey now does the president have a point it regardless
whether you're on the right or the left is their disproportionate interest in
silencing those on the right than there is on the left because of all of these
social media agencies and companies that have been reporting their new standards
and practices not a one has tried to rein in on thought coming from the left
to Catalina magazine publisher Kathy aroo-whoo is no doubt outraged foxnews
contributors John Wakefield and Jonah's max Faris and cat 10 in the meantime
here I'd be remiss if I didn't thank well I'm still here David Asman
interests Regan for all their hard work when I was out they've reminded me to
thank them Noah very happy to thank them I totally filled the president's saying
look it's not fair it's not right what do you think I think he has a point look
anytime you start just censoring things there's gonna be some human bias that
has just interjected into it it's gonna be an inexact science I think Alex Jones
is a complete idiot he has a he claims that Sandy Hook was faked or alleged
that could be he claims that Michelle Obama could be a man I mean I hate that
kind of stuff but Facebook also has a flat earth society page and a Bigfoot
believers page so if there's nothing illegal about being a problem a big
thing I'm the president of I follow it with you Bill Maher little
more aggressive on that very very subject he was commenting on this last
night can we show that if you're a liberal you're supposed to be for free
speech that's free speech for the beats you hates that's what free speech means
we're losing the thread of the concepts that are important to this country if
you care about the real American or you don't and if you do which goes for every
side I don't like Alex Jones but Alex Jones
gets to speak everybody gets to speak Kathy what do you think uh well yeah I
mean we most of us don't agree with Alex Jones I think but I yeah it didn't even
work they say was a temporary halt it didn't even make sense and it made him
even more popular playing us more followers but it reminds me a lot when
he said the liberal social media is just like Nixon with the liberal media it's
that wasn't that liberal media it's liberal social media and social media
one Nixon of course so it's a new it's a new wave of calling these people that
come out against your policies or with you just let's go again it's us versus
them so it just it's very reminiscent of like the Nixon days going against the
the liberal media which it's not true the media is half and half I sat in that
press room in the White House and it was half and half really it really was it
really was everyone's entitled their opinion but I haven't had thing I wonder
about but I do want to question cat you won that's the president in a series of
tweets talked about how this is distinguished from even the media that
he doesn't flip over it's you know fake as CNN and MSNBC and yet I do not ask
that their sick behavior be removed I get used to it and watch with a grain of
salt or don't watch at all can't we just leave it at that you know in other words
if you don't like what you're seeing don't censor what you're hearing or
seeing just don't don't don't accept it I think that that would be a better
solution I also understand however that these are companies individual private
companies that have the right to censor whatever they want to censor if they
wanted to censor me for no reason then they'd have the right to do so I don't
have a constitutional right to tweet I do think that it is a problem though I
think that there is what we censored what you said here I would have
preferred I mean News is also a private company I also
don't have a right to speak on Fox News but if Facebook denies the opportunity
for points of views that let's seem like yours cannot get out there as a private
company well of course it's a publicly traded company all right does it have
the right to do that the president questions whether it does any question
whether you're on the right of let Bill Maher included John ley field included
no I agree that it's completely unfair I agree that there is bias I just don't
know when he says he's not going to allow it what exactly that means that's
a question that I would definitely have for the president okay well he's
accepting I think what is is equal to fake news one of the things Jonas who
goes on with fake noses is it fake if you don't like what you're hearing other
presidents have problems with the press in the past I was surprised to learn
that one of the more popular presidents we had in the post-world War two our
John F Kennedy had problems enormous problems with the press so this goes way
back but I'm wondering where you draw the line the John F Kennedy reference is
interesting because some people said he only became present because of TV became
the thing well you can almost argue to Trump became president because of social
media it's he's like the social media King he's much better at that Hillary
Clinton wasn't no question about it so it's a little strange he's picking it
out as something that needs to be dealt with whether he uses it better than
anybody as far as okay dear foot let me get back to cats point about therefore
private companies if they all learn someday are getting any bigger than they
already are I can't even imagine that is possible there's gonna be a point where
it's like a it's like your power company can't cut you off there's certain
regular certain rules they have to give you there's nowhere else to speak once
they control everything it's not that far yet and no one's
keeping Alex Jones from having a website and the government's not stopping them
from speaking so we haven't crossed over yet but I think we're going in that
direction you don't find it troubling that those who control this those
immediate would sooner cut off Alex Jones and maybe four perfectly valid
reasons they find of advances or whatever but they wouldn't provide a
tenth the zeal to go after left-leaning sites that seems to be the state but
that is because there is both parties are they make one left-leaning site that
I won't explain this way both parties the social media companies and Alex
Jones are at the end of the day driven by profits they're both making money for
misinformation Google Facebook has made more money from crypto coin ads
from ads from Russian garbage they don't care because they make money from fake
BOTS from the users and Alex Jones makes money he's not just a guy speak he's not
like Hitler was just trying to change the world through his crazy thoughts
he's trying to sell nutritional supplements and t-shirts being by
spreading misinformation to people with the internet and a bad job of is making
it difficult for people who may be should be smarter but maybe shouldn't be
so misinformed no I think you're absolutely right but they generally go
to where I draw a distinction is who is judging that then I mean we have our own
personal biases where I'll do and and and if do we let that come into the
picture here I don't see how you couldn't anytime you have a human
judging something like this you have to this all the you lines I've seen judging
this John and that social media spectrum have been targeting right-leaning
sites right-leaning sources right I agree with that completely and I think
they are and I think that's the bias that they brought into it before they
walked into that equation I think there's a point there when you talk
about where does it stop it stop soon they start promoting violence and they
start promoting terrorism but where does that point in as far as free speech
becomes hate speech and that's the slippery slope that they're talking
about how did you advise them County how would you advise them on this subject
but to get away from the politics of it too as he said the next leap which is
violence well I think the New York Times pointed out that they're confused they
actually don't even know they said Jack Dorsey was saying it's about the values
of Twitter and they were saying she should he have said rules of Twitter the
rules not values what do you mean values what values does Twitter have what
values this is a site that started about people talking about what they had for
breakfast the CEOs don't even know what they're talking about they're not even
using the right words to describe how their police saying what's going on they
don't know how to believe in your news from a site that has the most cat videos
in the world there's got to be some personal responsibility sometime with
cats
there's got to be some personal responsibility from people that look at
this stuff and don't do any doodles all right with a little lesson from the
last election and then people are worried about this election got is that
more that stuff's going to put voice turn on us whether it's from the left or
right all I'm saying and I agree with pretty much everything and everyone it
said here just show the same aggressiveness in policing what's coming
in from questionable sources on the left as you do on the right that's what I'm
saying I agree but I think that a lot of the
people that work at these companies are liberals so there is gonna be as you
brought up personal bias in terms of what does and does not get censored
that's completely unfair and I think that the solution is for people who are
conservative or libertarian to continue to speak out against it and put public
pressure on them to not continue to do that well don't watch it don't pay
attention to you know the president said now I don't know whatever he practices
what he preaches cuz he no matter stop tweeting all right then he knows well
enough what they're saying on MSNBC and CNN and some some shows on this network
so maybe you can't control that what do you think I think the internet companies
need to do a better job of making it easier to see what's a lie or not the
whole ranking on popularity concept that drives google is why it's sort of
difficult for some people to determine that vaccines really aren't bad or or
you know there's a flow you can have a flat earth in and in a wiki because
you'd fall off the Flat Earth it's not that easy for somebody who's searching
for those terms to determine that there's that's what's so crazy about it
like it seems balanced because there's a lot of traffic going to the crazy sites
and they get upgraded and if you do some term searches you actually might start
to believe this garbage and that's I think the Internet companies going to
put profits second and get back to this issue of missing net that it's not a
left or right wing thing the lies on the internet they were just going out to the
lies of Alex Jones that we've one thing it seems to be just a very quick thing
when they all got together to Isaac right when crank but if they focus on
just the truce and the lies and make that easy for the consumer of the
internet to but we have our own definition what's up right it's almost
like pornography it's like who gets to kill gets to say what it is no I look
for more security clearances on the chopping block and what would be so
wrong if they are we were just getting into this and Fox and Friends a brief
hit with them that there are better than four million of these security clearance
passes out there four million that's quite a bit after this
