Republican AG on 'landmark lawsuit' against the Biden administration

the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana are suing the administration they claim the White House colluded with big Tech to sense your speech on a number of issues including covert and of course Hunter Biden the Attorney General of Missouri Eric Schmidt joins me now your honor on what grounds are you suing well listen the government can't uh violate the first amendment by suppressing speech and the government can't Outsource that also the big Tech partners and that's what we're alleging in this in this lawsuit and we're taking on two of the biggest most corrupt institutions that are out there big government and big Tech and the way they do it they do it a couple of different ways first uh they hold over these special protections that big Tech has principally section 230 which is makes them immune from uh typical liability uh because they're not considered a publisher so they hold that over the left does unless they censor more the second way they do it is the direct collusion that we see now I need jinsaki in press conferences has told us with her own words that they're working directly with Facebook to flag quote unquote disinformation this has played itself out in a number of different fronts whether it was the laptop from Hell election Integrity issues uh certainly during covet with the origins of covet and then with the efficacy of mass so those are just a few examples but in this lawsuit and we're essentially alleging that their leading the First Amendment and they're doing it with their big Tech partners and it needs to stop so it's not so much a question of you winning the lawsuit it's a question of filing the lawsuit following it through and exposing what you claim the administration of big Tech is doing this is an exposure kind of thing isn't it well we're intent on winning too sure to file the case but to your point uh they're terrified of the discovery that would happen yeah right so we move forward with this we get to ask we get to take depositions we get to ask for emails we get to ask for documents related to how are you colluding with these big Tech partners and we already know for example Dr fauci working with Facebook um on what he considered to be disinformation by the way yesterday's disinformation often becomes the facts right and we know this but right now we see from the left is an all-out effort to label everything they don't agree with or that is a threat to them is misinformation or disinformation has to stop but this lawsuit's unique it's a landmark lawsuit in the sense that we're alleging that they're Outsourcing this you know illegal censorship they're not able to do this but they're doing it by another means and that's again why we filed a lawsuit I'm dying to see the discovery process and that's a fact Mr Attorney General Eric Smith Missouri thanks very much for joining us sir we'll hope to see you again he'll be with you again
